Wu Zhiyuan felt a chill in his heart, he didn't care about greeting the village chief, and went directly to the coffin, he walked to the coffin and looked inside, and was immediately surprised, the coffin was really empty!

At this moment, several young people came out of the inner room one after another and reported to the village chief: "Village chief, no body has been found. ”

The village chief turned his head to look at Wu Zhiyuan in confusion and horror, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't speak.

"First Brother Qiao's body is gone, and then this corpse is missing, could it be that Brother Qiao died without looking at it and came back to find a stand-in?" A young man next to him said half-truthfully.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The village chief reprimanded angrily, and then looked at Wu Zhiyuan with a respectful expression, "This Taoist chief has great powers, with him here, even if Brother Qiao's ghost is still gone, we don't have to be afraid." What's more, Brother Qiao is also from our village, so he won't do anything to us! ”

The young man from before snorted disdainfully, and muttered in a low voice: "It's hard to say, who knows how Brother Qiao died?" ”

Although his voice was faint like a fly's chirping, the village chief still heard it word for word in his ears, and his face turned gloomy, and he was about to get angry. At this moment, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered the five coffins that had stopped at the entrance of the village, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

The people at the entrance of the village were still waiting with torches held high, although there were many people, but because it was a funeral, the atmosphere was very heavy, and no one spoke casually. Therefore, as soon as Wu Zhiyuan walked out of the village, everyone found him, and someone in the crowd said, "The Taoist chief is here", and everyone immediately flashed to the side and made way for him.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't have time to pay attention to everyone, and went directly to one of the coffins, he didn't say a word, he stretched out his hand to push the lid of the coffin, only to hear a "boom", and the coffin lid was immediately lifted to the ground by him.

Everyone was puzzled, and was about to say something to ask the reason, when they saw Wu Zhiyuan look inside the coffin, and his face suddenly changed.

Several people gathered around the coffin and looked into the coffin, all of them were taken aback, only to see that the coffin was empty, and there was no body at all.

The crowd all fell silent, and they all looked at Wu Zhiyuan.

Wu Zhiyuan stared at the empty coffin, thought for a moment, got up and walked to another coffin, raised his hand to open the coffin lid, and sure enough, this coffin was also empty.

Without pause, he opened the remaining three coffins, and the end result was the same: all the coffins were empty.

Wu Zhiyuan was stunned, Brother Qiao's body was gone, which was beyond his expectations, but the coffins of the six young people who were buried in the village were also empty, which was completely beyond the scope of his imagination.

Moon Shadow Fuxian handed Aunt Lin to a middle-aged woman next to her, walked up to Wu Zhiyuan, and asked in a low voice, "Zhiyuan, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know." Wu Zhiyuan looked at the five empty coffins in front of him and shook his head slowly.

The old woman who was transformed by the snake spirit she met in the bamboo forest had already made it very clear that the disappearance of Brother Qiao's body had nothing to do with her, in this case, the six missing corpses in the village must have nothing to do with her, so how could these corpses disappear? You must know that after the coffin is ready, the body is placed inside, and no one has ever opened it, how can it happen that all the corpses disappear inexplicably? It's unbelievable.

Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a long time, and recalled the matter from beginning to end, from the time they entered this village, to the scene he saw in front of him, he suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with one link, maybe it was not what he thought at the time, and it might be which link misled him, so that things developed to the situation that seems to be irreparable.

The cause of a series of events in this village all started when Brother Qiao carried back a stranger dressed in black in the bamboo forest, and in this whole incident, the stranger only appeared at the beginning of the incident, and then was described as a big snake and escaped from Brother Qiao's house. Since then, the man in black has completely disappeared from this whole thing.

Wu Zhiyuan thought of what the old woman in the bamboo forest said when she was leaving, she said that the stranger was just a person, not a snake spirit change, so where did this person go? What role does he play in this?

"Who is he?" The more Wu Zhiyuan thought about it, the more confused he became, even if he knew the suspiciousness of this stranger, he still couldn't get any useful information about this person, he couldn't help but murmur softly, "Who is he?" ”

Seeing Wu Zhiyuan talking to himself, Moon Shadow Fuxian felt strange that Wu Zhiyuan hadn't told her about the village chief and Ah Feng telling him when he was in the ancestral hall, so she didn't know, so she asked, "Zhiyuan, what ......did you say about him?"

Wu Zhiyuan took a long breath and said roughly about Brother Qiao's carrying back to a stranger in black, this matter was heard from the mouth of the village chief, and Ah Feng was on the side to corroborate it, so he could only narrate it originally, and also described the process of the stranger turning into a big snake.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Zhiyuan's words fell, Moon Shadow Fuxian's face suddenly changed, she frowned, and asked, "The man in black has become a big snake, but the man in black is gone?" ”

"Yes." Wu Zhiyuan nodded, and at the same time searched for Ah Feng's figure in the crowd, Ah Feng was standing in the crowd, and he also walked over when he saw this situation.

"What does that big snake look like?" Moon Shadow Fuxian turned his gaze to Ah Feng and asked with a stern expression.

Regarding the appearance of the big snake, the village chief and Ah Feng had never mentioned it in detail before, only saying that the snake body of the big snake was not long, but the body was relatively thick, which was not commensurate with the length, and the color of the snake's body was not mentioned.

Ah Feng recalled: "This scene was told to me intermittently when Brother Qiao came back from fighting snakes, and his mind was not very clear, I only remember that he seemed to have said that the whole body of the snake was black." ”

"All black, not a little variegated?" Hearing this, Moon Shadow Fuxian's whole body trembled slightly, and he asked after him.

Seeing that Moon Shadow Fuxian was so solemn, Ah Feng couldn't help but feel a little nervous, she thought about it carefully, and said with a cautious expression: "It should be, I remember that this is what Brother Qiao said." ”

Hearing Ah Feng's words, Moon Shadow Fuxian's expression became more and more solemn, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she was silent for a long time before she took a long breath, turned to all the villagers present, and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, I have a way to help you find the missing body!" As soon as the words fell, she quickly whispered to Wu Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, if my guess is right, I may know where these missing corpses have gone." I'll go check this matter now, you guys are waiting for me here, it's the third watch, if I don't come back after dawn, you and Wen Qing will bypass this Nine Worms Mountain, go to a small teahouse on the opposite side of the mountain and find someone called 'Visible', and he will take you to me at that time." ”
