On the way back to the village chief's house with Ling Ye, he couldn't help but look at the two little worms in the bottle during the day and asked, "Isn't there only one King of Ten Thousand Gu, if these two can fuse the blood of the gods, then will they also fight to the death, and which one survives in the end will be the Gu King." ”

I have heard this saying during the day, whether it is on TV or in legends, saying that the Gu worms that can become Gu worms have to go through a cruel battle, such as putting a bunch of poisonous insects in a jar and letting them bite each other, and the one who survives in the end becomes a Gu.

During the day, Ling Ye raised his eyebrows, thought silently, and said half-seriously and jokingly: "The Gu worms that drank my blood are not so easy to die, if you really can only keep one, then it depends on who of the two of them drank more blood just now." ”

"Well, don't say it's possible. Still, I hope both of them survive. It's not that one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, unless there is a male and a female, maybe they will be one male and one female. ”

Ling Ye and Bai walked all the way to Zhu Yumin's house, and saw that the lights in the two guest rooms were still on, obviously specially reserved for day and night.

Zhu Yumin prepared two rooms for them, but they naturally only slept in one, turned off the lights in one of the rooms, and the two of them walked into the other room together.

It was already very late, and I didn't know if I was tired at night or not, but he was indeed a little sleepy.

Looking at the tiredness between the eyebrows during the day, Ling Ye gently took him in his arms and gently dropped a kiss on his eyebrows, "Sleep." ”

The next morning, before I got up in the middle of the night, I heard a loud shouting outside the gate, and there were faint bursts of desperate cries.

Looking at the day when he was still sleeping peacefully in his arms, Ling Ye did not rush to get up, but let the noise and crying outside fade away, and waited for the two of them to wake up naturally during the day.

As soon as she got out of the room during the day and night, Qin Xiu'e, Zhu Yumin's wife, who was sitting under the eaves of the main house, quickly got up and walked over, quickly hit the cool well water, and smiled at the day and night: "Wash up, breakfast is ready." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't bother, we'll do it ourselves." Seeing that Qin Xiu'e was about to bring them the basin, she hurriedly opened her mouth to stop it during the day.

I didn't see Zhu Yumin, so I asked during the day, "What about Brother Zhu." ”

"Oh, he's outside." Qin Xiu'e brushed the hair in front of her forehead, looked in the direction of the gate and said sadly: "I lost four more people last night......"

Bai and Ling Ye had already known about it, and they could only sigh silently when they heard the words, but Qin Xiu'e quickly cheered up, looked at Bai and Ling Ye and said excitedly: "But we heard that last night the two masters saved our village's Da Zhuang and Wei Guo, and the two of them ran over early to say that they want to thank you." ”

"yes, they've all been here already?" When I washed my face during the day and was about to brush my teeth, I asked, "What about them now?" ”

"Outside, Lao Zhu was afraid that they would wake you up to rest, so he didn't let them enter the house." Lao Zhu naturally refers to Zhu Yumin.

"Okay, I know sister-in-law, you can get busy." After washing, he directly planned to go out to have a look during the day and midnight, but was resolutely stopped by Qin Xiu'e, who insisted that they eat early and then go out.

Knowing their sincere and simple intentions, they could only eat breakfast quickly during the day and night, and hurried to the gate.

On the dirt road but relatively flat street, seeing a bunch of people squatting there during the day and at night, seeing the two of them going out, Zhu Yumin hurriedly got up from the stone pier in front of the door, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"I've eaten, thank you, Brother Zhu." There is daytime, and all external communication is during the day, as if midnight is only responsible for talking to the daytime, and the rest is ignored.

As soon as the words fell during the day, the two people squatting on the side of the road got up and quickly walked over to the day and night, "Two masters, thank you for saving me last night......

"It's okay," seeing the two of them thank each other repeatedly, Bai Tian could only smile bitterly and say, "Okay, no need to thank you anymore, now I want to ask you some very important questions." ”

When it came to business, Zhu Yumin hurriedly said: "Come on, everyone come into the house with me and sit down." ”

In the courtyard, there were a few older people sitting during the day and at night, and Zhu Yumin was still standing, and the other young people were all standing.

"Da Zhuang, Wei Guo, you must be honest about what Mr. Bai wants to ask, do you understand?" Zhu Yumin straightened his face and emphasized it very seriously.

"Yes, we all understand......" Da Zhuang and Wei Guo nodded busily.

Taking a deep breath, he asked during the day, "Don't you even have the slightest memory of what happened last night?" And that Gu, do you feel when it ran into your body? ”

"Nope." Da Zhuang and Wei Guo shook their heads with great certainty.

"Did you feel anything unusual before you went to bed?" Asked again during the day.

"For a while, no one in our village can sleep well, and everyone is so scared that they don't dare to close their eyes. But how can people not sleep for a long time, last night I couldn't stay up until the early hours of the morning, and I fell asleep on the table with my eyelids drooping. Da Zhuang didn't say anything, and Wei Guo said so.

I knew that I couldn't ask anything from them, so I didn't ask any more during the day, but at this time, Ling Ye suddenly said, "Did you hear the bell in your consciousness last night?" ”

"The sound of bells?" Da Zhuang and Wei Guo were stunned, frowned and thought for a long time, but still shook their heads gloomily, "No, we don't know anything." ”

"Why, did you two hear the bell last night?" Zhu Yumin asked.

Bai Bai nodded, "Last night, around one o'clock in the morning, Ling Ye and I suddenly heard a bell ringing, but there was no more of this sound. However, after the bell rang, we found Da Zhuang and Wei Guo. ”

Having said this, Bai Bai suddenly thought of something, and looked at Ling Ye in surprise, "You say, is this bell sound the key to triggering the Gu worm." ”

"I guess, that's really all we found at the time." Midnight nodded, agreeing with the day's guess.

"But when did the Gu worms enter their bodies, if the sound of the bell is really the key to triggering the Gu worms, then it means that these Gu worms only entered these people's bodies that day, or even the moment before the bell rang." Thinking of this, Bai Bai's face also became solemn, "If that's the case, we can't tell whose body the Gu worm crawled into at all, let alone how many people the Gu worm crawled into." ”

That's the crux of the matter, but it's not the most critical, "Where did the missing go?" And how did they manage not to disturb the barrier we had set up? ”

During the day, he was puzzled, but Ling Ye put forward his opinion at this time, "There are two possibilities, one is that these people have indeed not left the village. There is also the breath of death. ”

"Death breath?" Shocked during the day.

"The breath of death can erase all of a person's life, hiding it from the invisible, and if a person with the breath of death passes through the barrier, it is indeed possible that the barrier will not be triggered." Ling Ye said this, but frowned contradictoryly, "But it's not right, I didn't feel the breath of death in Da Zhuang and Wei Guo's bodies last night. ”

"Maybe they didn't have the breath of death in them at that time, but it was only inflicted when they were taken away from the village." As he said this, he also frowned again and refuted his theory, "No, if the death breath was applied to avoid the barrier, then when we didn't come before, there should be no death breath on those who disappeared. That being the case, how could a person who does such a thing suddenly have the breath of death? ”

"If none of this is possible, it means that these people really haven't walked out of Linxi Village." After several inferences, Ling Ye finally came to this conclusion.

"Since you haven't left Linxi Village, where are the missing people?" During the day, he thought with a deep brow.

The others present listened quietly to what the day and night had said for so long, but they didn't understand a word in the clouds.

But in the end, they understood the conclusion that Ling Ye came to, and immediately a group of people shouted in surprise, "What, you said that those people who disappeared are still in Linxi Village?" How is this possible? ”

After Zhu Yumin was surprised, he motioned to the villagers to calm down, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Ling, it's not that we don't believe you, but in fact, you said that the lost villagers are still in Linxi Village, how can you explain this." Our village is so big, we searched inside and out, but we didn't find a single person. ”

"There are a lot of problems that can't be solved by common sense, and it's not an ordinary thing at all. There are a lot of tricks in this world, and maybe someone who does something is using some kind of secret art to confuse our eyes. ”

After speaking, he didn't explain so much during the day, but just said to Zhu Yumin: "Brother Zhu, let the villagers go back first, and Ling Ye and I will have to discuss what to do next." ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhu Yumin persuaded the villagers to go back, and a few people stayed after half of the people left, looking at the day and the night, he hesitated: "Two gentlemen, is there still someone who will continue to disappear tonight." ”

"In fact, it is not impossible to prevent the remaining people from continuing to disappear, but what we need to do now is to trace the clues of the case and find those who are missing. If no one continues to disappear, it means that the clues have been cut off, so many people who disappeared before may really not be able to come back. ”

During the day, this was not a threat, he was just telling the facts, but the terrified villagers thought that his statement was a bit selfish, and they were more or less disagreeable.

But they didn't dare to show anything on the face, after all, those who were missing still had to count on the two of them to find them.

"You go back, we won't know until the evening, but don't worry, even if we can't cut off this clue, we will try to minimize the number of missing people."

During the day, I understand the fear and unwillingness of the villagers, but this matter is really troublesome, and if you don't think about it, you may take a wrong step and cause * annoyance.
