After explaining some things to Mu Wan'er, Nan Xinuo went back directly to the Night King's Mansion, and when she arrived at the mansion, it was already sunset, but Yun Shizi had not yet returned from the palace, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and she was also worried.

When she was on the road, she listened to the people talking about the affairs of Qiyan Village, and when she heard the strange things they said, she was a little curious, so she asked Qiu Lu to inquire carefully.

Only then did I know that there was a monster in the village of Xuanyan, which could eat people's hearts, and anyone who went up the mountain to see the monster would lose their souls, and they were not human or ghosts. In the evening, the village is full of noise, and the screams of chickens, ducks, cats and dogs are everywhere, and the next morning there will be blood stains in the stalls, which makes the people of the village panic.

I heard that the imperial court sent officials to check, and the first day the lord went to the village of Xuanyan, the next morning someone found the lord sitting motionless in the stream, obviously having a heartbeat, but there was no response. At night, the adult is like the walking dead, and when he sees an animal, he eats it.

As soon as this incident spread, the imperial court was also shocked, and the people were also panicked, thinking that there must be something sneaky to make trouble, not only the people of Xuanyan Village did not dare to go out, but also the people of some surrounding mountain villages were also panicked, and they did not dare to go up the mountain to hunt.

When Nan Xinuo heard this, she felt a little strange, although she thought that there were no wonders in this world, after all, she could pass through rebirth, but it was impossible for her to believe that there were sneakers in this world, she would rather believe that someone was pretending to be a ghost.

After Yun Shizi came back, Nan Xinuo learned that the emperor left him in the palace for the sake of Xuanyan Village, and the emperor also handed over the matter to him to investigate.

Although Nan Xinuo felt that the emperor must be uneasy and kind, but the incident in Yanyan Village was like this, and he couldn't let it go, even if the emperor didn't let Yun Shizi investigate, he would go.

Chiyan Village is located on a hill at the foot of Yecheng Mountain, not too far from Yecheng, and it takes more than two hours to arrive. Originally, Nan Xinuo wanted to see Liu Guang, but she hadn't thought of a foolproof plan for this matter, and there was no news from Mu Wan'er's side, so she didn't have anything important to do in the mansion, so she followed Yun Shizi to Qiyan Village.

As soon as they arrived at Qiyan Village, they felt that the yin qi inside was too heavy and very permeating. The whole village was silent, even the flowers and plants on the road withered, not a single bird called, and there was no life.

Walking towards the village, I smelled a strong smell of blood, as well as the feathers of chickens and ducks, and the fur of animals mixed in it, and there was a slight disgusting scene.

The people in the village locked the door, no one answered when they knocked on the door, and Yun Shizi wanted to know the situation, but they couldn't ask.

Until a person dressed as a servant came and said that he was Shangguan Ling's subordinate and came to invite Yun Shizi to the village chief's house, Nan Xinuo was a little curious that Shangguan Ling would be here, but he didn't think much about it and followed the little guy to the village chief's house.

When she arrived at the village chief's house, she undoubtedly saw Shangguan Ling sitting on a chair drinking tea, but she didn't expect that Ye Mo Sakura was also here.

When Ye Mo Sakura saw Nan Xinuo, she was very excited and happy, and hurriedly walked up to her and told her about the strange things in this village, and said that she was here to get rid of demons and slay demons.

Nan Xinuo couldn't cry or laugh a little, but seeing that she was so excited, she couldn't disturb her, so she let her continue to do her dream of slaying demons, and she herself inquired a little about the village chief's home.

The village chief was about four or five years old, and he was very loyal and honest, with a mother and a wife, as well as two sons and a daughter, the eldest of whom was nineteen years old, and the youngest of whom was only nine years old.

"Hey! Our village has always been very peaceful, we have been with the mountains and forests for generations, chopping wood and hunting is the only pillar for us to survive, and now there is such a monster on this mountain, which makes our village a miasma, everyone dare not go up the mountain, and now they don't even dare to go out!" The village chief sighed and said, and there was a little fear on his face when he talked about the monster.

"When did that monster on the mountain appear?" Yun Shizi asked.

"That is, not long ago, seven or eight days ago, the first thing that happened was Li Erhu's family, Erhu's father went to the mountains early in the morning to hunt animals, but he didn't come back when the sun went down, Erhu's family was worried, so he asked the people in the village to help find it, and later found that he was sitting motionless on the stone, as if he had lost his soul, what did he not react."

The village chief's expression was a little ugly, and he sighed and continued, "The people in the village thought that he was frightened by something, so they didn't pay attention to it, but at night, it was Erhu's father who ate all the chickens and ducks in the family raw, and that appearance was just like a monster."

We thought he was going crazy, so we asked a doctor, and the doctor gave him a pulse, and when the doctor saw the situation of Erhu and his father, he was frightened into a cold sweat, saying that he was sneaked up. Then a day later, the villagers who went up the mountain had an accident, and the situation was the same as that of Erhu and his father. Also, Lord Lin who came was the same, and he was also taken away by monsters. ”

Listening to the village chief's words, Nan Xinuo frowned, and glanced at Yun Shizi, both of them were very puzzled, Nan Xinuo thought about it and asked the village chief, "What about the villagers who had an accident?" ”

Without waiting for the village chief to answer, Shangguan Ling preemptively said, "Many people are dead, and some are trapped in the cave. ”

"Stuck in a hole?"

The village chief looked sad and a little helpless, "We have no choice, those who have taken away their souls, they come out to bite people at night, at first they just eat animals, but later, they bite people whenever they meet, we have no choice, so we have to take advantage of the daytime when they lose their souls and can't move, they all tie them up and put them in the cave, but those ropes can't bind them at all, the cave is very big, they can't get out, as a result, they, they all bite each other to death, the corpse, the corpse...... Ay! ”

Nan Xinuo frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Is there anyone alive?" ”

"Yes! We caught one when we came, but it's a child!" Night Mo Sakura leaned over to Nan Xinuo and raised her hand and said.

"You caught it?" Yun Shizi looked at Ye Mo Sakura and asked.

"Yes, when I came with Shangguan Ling, I met a child on the road, sitting motionless by the stream, looking very strange, so we arrested him."

"What about people?"

"It's in the back room!"

As soon as Yun Shizi heard this, he and Nan Xinuo followed Shangguan Ling and them to the back room, and sure enough, they saw a seven or eight-year-old child sitting on a stool, his face was ruddy, his breathing was obvious, but he was motionless, his eyes were dull, he didn't blink, he looked like he was out of his mind, and he really looked like a soulless person.

Nan Xinuo was just about to step forward, but Yun Shizi grabbed his arm and reminded her to be careful, Nan Xinuo gave him a reassuring look, walked over, and shook his hand in front of the child's eyes, the child didn't react at all, so he directly probed his pulse and checked his pupils.

"There's a snort, there's a pulse, there's a heartbeat, and he's still on a steady pulse."

"I brought the imperial doctor, and they couldn't tell what was wrong with this child after looking at it for a long time, they could only say that he had been robbed of his soul, and he was not angry at all." Shangguan Ling leaned against the door and said with a frown.

"Impossible, I don't believe that there is anyone in this world who can control a person's mind, but it is possible to control a person's sanity." Nan Xinuo looked at the child and said, "However, if someone controls his mind, his pulse will not be so calm." Moreover, even if they were controlled, they had to be pulled by something, such as bells, piano flutes, etc., but the village chief also said that when they had an accident, they didn't hear any strange sounds. ”

Yun Shizi stared at the kid for a moment, then looked at the pensive Nan Xinuo and asked, "Could it be because of poisoning?"

Nan Xinuo did not answer in a hurry, but circled around the child several times, stared at him carefully for a long time, and then said, "On the surface, there are no signs of poisoning at all, but it cannot be ruled out that it is poisoned by nerves." ”

"Cousin Xi Ning, in my opinion, he must have been robbed of his soul by that monster!" Seeing that they were all contemplative and silent, Ye Mo Sakura said, "If you want to save him, let's go to the mountain and catch that monster!"

Nan Xinuo looked at Ye Mo Sakura, who was looking forward to it, and smiled helplessly, "From him, I can't see anything at the moment, so the only way to do this is to go to the place where they had an accident." We must go to this mountain, but the danger on the mountain is uncertain, and even if you want to go, you have to stay here. ”

"What!!" Ye Mo Sakura's face fell suddenly, and she looked very aggrieved, "Why? Why can't I go!"

"Nuo'er is right, these villagers have become like this when they went up the mountain, there must be something on the mountain, even if there is no demon to haunt it, it will be very dangerous, so, Mo Ying, you stay here." Yun Shizi looked at Ye Mo Sakura and said.

"I don't! I'm here to get rid of that monster! How could I not go!" Ye Mo Sakura pouted, looked at Shangguan Ling very unhappily, gave him a look, and asked him to help him talk.

Shangguan Ling shrugged helplessly, looked at Ye Mo Ying and said, "I think what Concubine Yun Shi said is reasonable, although I brought you, but I didn't say to let you go to the mountain, in case something happens to you, your brother is estimated to take a knife to my house!"

"Hmph, I don't care, I'm going to follow you!" Ye Mo Ying looked at Nan Xinuo aggrievedly, clutching her sleeve and not letting go, "You just take me there!" I'm sure I'll listen to you, follow you closely, and never run around!"

"That's not going to work either." Nan Xinuo frowned and said, "The danger on this mountain is unknown, we have to go up there to investigate the situation first, and if there is danger, we can take care of it." ”

Seeing that Ye Mo Sakura was very reluctant, Nan Xinuo smiled helplessly, "Obedient!" This is no joke. Look at this child, he should be innocent, but now he has become such a non-human and non-ghost, you look at the blood stains in this village, don't you think it's terrible? This is the case in this village, and isn't it even more terrifying in the mountains? ”

Seeing that Ye Mo Sakura hesitated, Nan Xinuo continued, "Okay, obedient, you can stay here." I'll let Autumn Dew accompany you, and if we haven't come back before the sun goes down, you can take them up again. ”

"Well, if you don't come back when the sun goes down, I'll go up the mountain!" Night Foam Sakura pouted and said.
