Thirteen months have passed since they were arrested and returned to Shijia Old Village, and there were originally forty-two of them, but now there are only twenty-nine left, and on the back of the mountain, there are thirteen more bald graves without monuments.

I asked Liu Huaishan and them to stay where they were, and then I took Huang Yuzhong with me and Lao Zuo and Wu Xiangsong to the back mountain to see the grave.

The reason why I brought Huang Yuzhong was mainly because I was afraid that there was a secret whistle hidden in the back mountain, and his sensitive hearing like a good ear could help us detect danger in advance.

As for Wu Xiangsong, I really can't see through this person, and I can't tell why he follows me and Lao Zuo every step of the way.

Directly north of the cornfield, there is a hill no more than 200 meters high, which is called the back hill in the village.

When it was daylight, I did see the graves on the shady side of the mountain, but there was only one, and it was not until I got closer that I realized that each grave was surrounded by a ring of trees with dense branches, just enough to keep all the graves at bay.

The tomb near the top of the hill was only revealed because the small trees around it had not fully grown.

In just thirteen months, the saplings planted around the grave can grow into a flourishing tree, which is a bit counterintuitive.

We dug up all thirteen graves, and found that the bodies buried in them were still as fresh as ever, almost indistinguishable from living people, except for the fact that there was no blood on their bodies and no body temperature.

On the back of each corpse, there is a tree of life and death chiseled out with a sharp cone, the pattern of these trees of life and death should be carved after the victim was drained of blood, the other party is very heavy, the pattern of the pattern almost penetrates into the bone, but even so, not a drop of blood flows out of the wound, and the wound has no trace of healing.

Lao Zuo slashed the wrist of one of the corpses with a green steel sword, the blood vessels were almost empty, and only a small amount of tissue fluid flowed out of the wound, and there was no blood.

I asked Lao Zuo: "Why don't these corpses decompose?" ”

Lao Zuo didn't answer me directly, but just raised his head and looked at the trees growing around the grave.

After a long time, Lao Zuo spoke: "Such a strong vitality, in just over a year, these trees can grow so tall." ”

I felt that Lao Zuo seemed to have something to say, so he didn't interject.

Sure enough, Lao Zuo's words were not finished: "These people are indeed dead, but they still have a very strong vitality on their bodies, and it is this vitality that nourishes the roots of the tree and causes the saplings to grow too quickly." ”

I wondered, "Is there any life in them, how can I not sense it?" ”

Lao Zuo said: "Of course there is, but most of the anger has entered the soil, you try to sense the grass and trees in this area." ”

Thanks to Lao Zuo's reminder, I also noticed that the vitality on this hillside is very full, and it is said that now is the season when everything is withering, and there should not be as strong vitality on the mountain as in the middle of summer.

Lao Zuo stared at the thirteen corpses on the hillside, falling into a long contemplation, and finally he sighed helplessly and shook his head.

I guess the doubt in Lao Zuo's heart is the same as mine, that is, what kind of means did practicality use to stimulate the vitality of these people, and what was the purpose of his doing this?

Also, why is there a tree of life and death on the backs of these deceased?

What is the meaning of the existence of these patterns?

I couldn't come up with the answers to these questions, and judging from Lao Zuo's expression of shaking his head and sighing, he didn't see the mystery either.

At this time, Lao Zuo said: "I think it is necessary for us to check the relationship between the Lingnan Shi family and the Ming Sect. ”

I shook my head: "There are not many records about Mingjiao in the industry, and it is just a waste of time to spend your mind on this kind of thing." But I have an idea, Lao Zuo, you said, the soul exchange technique created by the Yushan monk back then will not fall into the hands of the Ming Sect, right? ”

Lao Zuo nodded: "It's possible." ”

Huang Yuzhong interjected on the side: "I think you two should go and discuss countermeasures with Liang Houzai, he has a lively brain, maybe he can see the way." ”

That's right, too.

After a long stay to no avail, we immediately transported the thirteen corpses from the back hill back to the village, and Lao Zuo went to the cornfield to gather up all the shrouds.

Lao Zuo said that these shrouds may come in handy in the future.

chatted with Liang Houzai about the situation in the back mountain, but the result was not very optimistic, as smart as he was, he couldn't even see through the doorway.

However, Liang Houzai turned our thinking on the right path, he said, the eyeliner that was put in Shijia Old Village before should be more effective subordinates, after all, there are too many secrets here, and they must be strictly guarded.

Since these people participated in Utility's actions in Shijia Old Village, it also shows that Utility trusts them very much.

The next question is whether to use a lot of force to hunt down this group of people, since they are practical henchmen, they should be able to extract some more useful information from their mouths.

When a few of us discussed countermeasures, Li Huaishan was also present, this guy had a hot head, and he shouted that he wanted to go out to arrest people, Liang Houzai first asked him to calm down, and then analyzed: "Since the practical person dares to let these people stay here, it means that he is not afraid of sending people over from the organization." But even if the organization sends people to come, there are two situations, one is that Brother Dao and the old man don't come, and send other backbones to investigate the situation, if that's the case, the secret post he placed here can completely ambush and eliminate the people sent by the organization, and the other is that Brother Dao and the old man come in person, so it is unrealistic to ambush, and the practical can only let the secret post evacuate. ”

Li Huaishan interjected again: "Now that your Dao brother and our shopkeeper are all here, what are you afraid of, hurry up and go out to arrest people!" ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and motioned for Li Huaishan to be quiet.

Liang Houzai had a good temper and was not surprised, and then said: "They don't dare to ambush Brother Dao and Lao Yan here, because there are no conditions for ambushes here, and the gap in strength is too big, so they can only run." Li Huaishan, don't intervene yet. I have seen the terrain of this generation, the terrain is complex, and the veins of the flow of the Qi field are extremely unclear, which is not conducive to the deployment of the formation, so I said that there are no conditions for ambushing Brother Dao and the old man here. But if you change the place, change the place where you can set up the formation in advance, these people may not dare to start. ”

I understand what he means, if we chase it out now, we will probably fall into the trap of practical design.

Perhaps, in some corner of the corner are the practical people waiting for us, as soon as we step into it, we will be plotted.

It's a trap!

But looking back, if we hadn't chased them out, wouldn't this group have been able to retreat easily and calmly? When the time comes, they will be scattered and hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and it will be difficult to find them again.

Suppose again, what would have happened if we had come here before these people had evacuated? I can't say exactly what will happen, but I do know that in this col, in addition to the practical secret sentinels, there are twenty-nine innocent villagers. What should we do if the other party threatens us with the lives of the villagers?

This is indeed a practical style, and his strategy is perfect, whether you accept it or not, he will always be the one who will benefit in the end.

Li Huaishan was anxious: "Then should we chase or not?" ”

Liang Houzai took a deep breath, but Lao Lao didn't spit out this breath for a long time, and Lao Zuo on the side also fell silent.

I pondered for a long time, and finally decided to sacrifice the killer idea: "Brother Xiaoliang, give me a note, I'll make a call." ”

Li Huaishan was heartless: "You are just fighting here, who is still stopping you, what do you want?" ”

Liang Houzai obviously had doubts about my request, but Lao Zuo nodded at him, and he took out a soundproof note from his backpack and handed it to me, and told me how to urge this talisman.

I avoided everyone, found a vacant earthen house, put up a soundproofing note, and then dialed Wu Lin's phone.

This place is far away from the city, and at first I was worried that there would be no signal, but I didn't expect it to get through on the first dial.

I briefly recounted the events of Shijia Old Village, and asked Wu Lin, what should we do with those secret posts that escaped?

Wu Lin analyzed that if we chase it out now, it is very likely that we will step into the trap prepared in advance, and it is best not to do this kind of thing that rushes forward as soon as the head is hot, it is too stupid. Once the gang is sure that they are not being tracked, they will scatter and hide in the mountains or in some small village that is not noticed by the group in order to narrow down the target.

The next thing is much easier, just find one of these people, control it first, and then use him to find other secret sentinels, or directly pull out a practical next action plan from his mouth, anyway, the initiative is in our hands at that time, and we are not afraid that he will not speak.

It's easy to say, but the question is that they're all in hiding, and what are we going to do to find them?

Wu Lin told me not to worry, he would do this, and he also mentioned that he should not be disrupted by the tree of life and death behind the thirteen dead corpses, that is likely to be a practical trick, maybe he has nothing to do with Mingjiao at all.

I've thought about this too, but I still think we should check it, in case there is a connection between practicality and Mingjiao, maybe after finding out the relationship between the two, we can deduce the next action plan for practical use? It's all uncertain.

Wu Lin promised that he would also help me find out about this matter, so that I could focus on more important places, such as going to Luofu Mountain as soon as possible to check it out.

I really think that it was a very correct decision to pull Wu Lin into the gang at the beginning, and it was too worry-free to have him.

After making this phone call, I hurriedly greeted everyone and marched to Luofu Mountain as soon as possible, Wu Xiangsong was worried that he would return to slaughter the villagers, I just asked Jin Xiangqian to contact the organization, and asked the organization to send someone to settle the villagers and the thirteen corpses, as soon as Jin Xiangqian's phone call was over, we left immediately, and did not wait until the people in the organization came to withdraw as Wu Xiangsong proposed.
