"Wait!" The foreman said suddenly, and then looked at Old Man Zhang: "Tell me quickly, what is the origin of the ghost jade." Is it true that it sucks people's souls? ”

Grandpa Zhang's expression was serious: "Naturally, it's true!" You are young, you don't know. In the past, the mountain next to Wenxian County was the altar of the Chu State. I sneaked to see it when I was a kid. When the sacrifice is done, a magic circle made of ghost jade will be placed on the altar! To tell you the truth, I've been seeing things that aren't clean since I came out of my life. The constitution is also more sensitive than the average person. So that time, I saw the souls of those killed victims, and they were immediately sucked into the array made of ghost jade! ”

This terrifying scene seemed to appear in front of Old Man Zhang's eyes again, and he was still in shock. The foreman was a little unsure, and he also broke out in a cold sweat.

However, the county magistrate of Wenxian County didn't care much: "These glamorous things have always been unfounded, and according to what Old Man Zhang said." The ghost jade also sucks the souls of the dead. We are all big living beings, and we have nothing to fear. If even the souls of the living are sucked in, then why are the sacrificers unscathed? It doesn't make sense. ”

Everyone thinks that what the county master seems to say does have some truth. Then he looked at Old Man Zhang, but he was still very persistent.

"This ghost jade is really weird, and the strange death of everyone in the Black Tiger Village may be related to this ghost jade. Don't be obsessed with money! ”

was said by Old Man Zhang, and the death of the Black Tiger Village bandit was vividly remembered again.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and several big men ran out of ideas, but it was up to the foreman to see what he planned.

"Why don't we see what's in that third box?"

…………

However, at this time, Du Ruo and Zhang Wurong could not find Yi Shadong's body anywhere. Not only that, but even Grandpa is gone.

The two of them searched in the village for a long time, but now not only was Grandpa Zhang missing, but even the county commander, the foreman and a few strong men who often followed the foreman were gone.

First, the people in the Black Tiger Village killed each other bizarrely, and then several people in Wenxian County disappeared. Du Ruo only felt that this dense forest was becoming more and more terrifying.

It was getting late, and everyone calmed down from their original ecstasy and realized that something was wrong. But it's too late now. Several key figures have mysteriously disappeared. The dragons have no leader, and they don't know what to do.

Slowly the sun set behind the mountain, and the cold wind carried the cold air, and the people who blew shivered. The flowers on the other side of the wall shone with a strange red light as if they had sucked fresh blood. Enchanting and beautiful, but weird and terrifying.

The corpse of the Black Tiger Village bandit was still lying there, and it became more and more eerie in the silent night.

The big man who was so frightened by the dead man that he activated the seven-star serial crossbow before said, "Or... Or... Let's go back first. The foreman and the county ordered them to have a seven-star crossbow, and they would definitely be fine. ”

A few other timid ones should also join suit, wanting to get out of this place as soon as possible.

Human nature is the most selfish, one person takes the lead, and the rest have all retreats.

Zhang Wurong was extremely anxious: "Folks, my grandfather is gone. Let's look for it again! ”

But no one wanted to stay.

"Aaron, don't wait. Soon it will be dark, and it will be even less safe to spend the night in the mountains. I'll look for it tomorrow during the day. ”

"Yes, your grandfather should be with the county lord. It's going to be fine. ”

As he spoke, several people shouted and were about to leave.

These are just comforting words and do not convince Zhang Wurong. He was extremely anxious and stubbornly stood still. The others didn't bother to care about him, packed up their things and left the Black Tiger Village.

Only Du Ruo was by his side.

"Don't worry, I'll accompany you to find out grandpa!"

Zhang Wurong gratefully held Du Ruo's hand, feeling that Du Ruo's swarthy face was full of perseverance and bravery, and he had a different charm.

Zhang Wurong felt that his heart was a little incredible, after all, Du Ruo was really an ordinary girl, and her face did not have a trace of gentleness that a woman should have.

But it also felt like it passed quickly, because there were more important things waiting for him to do.

Du Ruo pulled Zhang Wurong back to the door of the Black Tiger Village: "I think the disappearance of your grandfather and the county master must have something to do with the death of the Black Tiger Village." Let's first restore the things on their side of the Black Tiger Village. ”

It was a dark and windy night, and the two found torches and stood in front of the gate of the village of Black Tiger Village. The bodies of the two Black Tiger Village bandits were still lying quietly on the grass.

Zhang Wurong didn't even dare to approach, but Du Ruo had the courage to hold the lantern to look. Then he stripped the clothes of the two mountain bandits.

"Huh... Huh... Huh... You are a girl's family, do you know shame! ”

"Shut up! It's noisy! ”

Du Ruo pretended not to hear and continued the movements of her hands. Raising the torch, he saw the scars left by the fight on the bandits. One of them had a clear blue-purple fist print on his body.

She took the other man's fist and compared it, and it just matched.

"You see, these two men did kill each other. What was the reason why the two of them were suddenly going to kill each other? ”

Zhang Wurong saw that Du Ruo was not afraid, he was a man, so he had to approach hard.

"Could it be that the spoils are really unevenly divided?"

Du Ruo shook his head: "I don't think so, have you noticed that everyone in Black Wind Village is doing their own job before they die." These two were originally guarding the gate. There is also one sentry. There is also one in the kitchen. Everything else is in the Gathering Hall. If the spoils are not evenly divided, shouldn't they be in front of any treasure? How could there be two people who suddenly talked about sharing the spoils while standing guard, and then killed each other? This is very unreasonable. ”

Zhang Wurong nodded, this is indeed very unreasonable: "By the way, there are two sentry and two kitchens." They all seem to have committed suicide. Why did the murderers make it look like one was killing each other and the other was committing suicide? ”

Du Ruo thought for a moment and stood up: "Let's go, let's go see the sentry." ”

"Good!"

Following Du Ruo's side, Zhang Wurong also seemed to be a little bolder.

The sentry is a small simple tower made of bamboo. There is only one ladder for one person to go up.

"You wait for me down there." Du Ruo is calm and calm, with maturity beyond this age.

Zhang Wurong only nodded in agreement. Watch her step up the creaky ladder.

"Be careful!"

Du Ruo replied casually with a "hmm" on it, and then his thin body jumped into the tower.

After a while, he stepped on the creaking ladder again.

"How? What did you find? Zhang Wurong helped her down and hurriedly asked.

Du Ruo thought for a moment, then looked around the sentry with a torch and said, "Look, the only way to get to the sentry is this ladder. And as you saw just now, there will be a 'squeak' sound when you climb up, which will inevitably attract the attention of the people above. Moreover, the wound I just faced was consistent with the knife in the hand of the dead man. There's not a lot of space up there, just one person standing. If it is a person with excellent light skills, he flies up, grabs the weapon, and kills him again, and it is impossible for him to have no traces of fighting. But the top was clean, as if suddenly the man couldn't think about it and wiped his neck. ”
