Out of the importance of this major case, Hong Hao parked all the bodies of several deceased people in the morgue of the criminal police team, and ordered his subordinates to take strict care of them.

Before entering the morgue, the black gas in the center of Xiao Bai's eyebrows flashed, and this time it was also a veteran of the autopsy. After some careful examination, Xiaobai's face did not look very good.

"There's a demonic spirit!" Xiaobai muttered to himself.

I was stunned: "Demonic spirit? What do you mean, are these people all injured by youkai? ”

Everything has a spirit, and the beasts and even flowers and plants in the mountains may open up their wisdom by chance. And the creatures that have opened the spirit have already entered the ranks of "demons", also known as "spirits".

The spirits, or rather, the monsters say that the demonic qi emitted is different from the yin qi, and before I advanced to the realm of refining qi and transforming the gods, it would be difficult for me to tell the difference even if I used the qi viewing technique.

After entering the morgue, in fact, I also used the Qi Lookout technique, but I didn't find anything abnormal about these corpses, at most the Yin Qi was a little thicker than that of people who died normally.

"The demonic energy contaminated on their corpses is very thin, and it is almost completely covered by the yin qi on their bodies. But judging by the cause of their deaths, these people definitely died at the hands of spirits. Xiaobai said with certainty.

I couldn't help but frown, everyone died at the hands of spirits? Mountain Temple?

I can't help but think of the mandrills I once encountered, in some places mandrill spirits and the like, also known as "mountain gods", could it be that these people provoked the mandrills in the mountain temple to end up like this?

Of course, this is just a guess, and we can't make an accurate judgment until we have explored the mountain temple and learned more.

"In addition to the demonic energy, the most bizarre thing about these dead people is that all of them have no wounds on their bodies after death, but the blood is all gone, and they almost become a dry corpse!" Xiaobai said in a deep voice.

I couldn't help but glance at the corpses again, each of them was crumpled, and it was obvious that the corpses were extremely thin.

According to Xiaobai's speculation, this bizarre cause of death should not be caused by the ghost, but more like a monster. Animals such as bats and leeches can become monsters that suck blood for a living.

After an examination of the bodies of all the deceased, we were able to learn more about the case. Looking at the materials, my brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

These dead may not have had much to do with each other during their lifetimes, but they were all hunting fanatics without exception, and they all went into the mountains more than once to hunt, and hunted countless animals.

In the past, everyone's hunting range was at the southern end of the county, and the mountain forest was relatively developed, although there may be fewer animals, but it was very safe. And because of the frequent crowds, some places can already be driven in.

Recently, the passenger flow of Moyun County has become larger and larger, and in order to support this economic lifeline, the county has released many artificially bred small animals in the mountain forest at the southern end of the county.

Those small animals such as hares and pheasants that are bred in captivity can fully meet the hunting needs of those tourists, but they cannot satisfy those hunting fanatics.

Before Zhang Shengli and the others died, they took their two friends and entered the mountains and forests at the northern end of Moyun County. The forest is almost completely unexplored, wildlife is abundant, and it is relatively dangerous.

Of course, Zhang Shengli did not encounter any danger in the process of hunting that day, and he returned with a full load. It's just that after he returned, he died mysteriously that night.

The experiences of the other deceased before their deaths were similar to those of Zhang Shengli, and they also went hunting in the mountains and forests at the northern end of Moyun County.

"In other words, the mountain temple is at the northern end of the county seat?" I glanced at Hong Hao.

He nodded with a serious face: "The mountain temple is not too far from the county seat, but because that mountain forest is basically undeveloped, no one usually goes there." ”

It can be said that the mountain temple is the only way to the north of the mountain forest, so it is understandable that all the dead are more or less stained with some moss.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, the mountain temple is full of suspicions, and we must investigate it tonight.

Although it may be safer to investigate the mountain temple during the day, for now, Xiaobai will only have his energy at night, and we can't wait until tomorrow.

Now Hong Hao has issued an order to forbid everyone to hunt in the mountains and forests to the north. But he could not restrict everyone's freedom, and if someone sneaked in, the danger would still exist.

"Hong Hao, get ready, we will now set off for the Mountain Temple. Be sure to be fully armed and never take it lightly. I admonished.

Hong Hao beckoned, and immediately someone came to his side and listened to what he was arranging in a whisper. But after a while, Hong Hao looked at me with some concern.

"Master Chen, we don't have any experience in dealing with supernatural cases at all, do we have anything else to prepare?" Hong Hao asked in a low voice.

He is very worried about safety, and I believe that he may not be afraid of death, but to face the fear of the unknown, no one is not afraid. For ordinary people, supernatural events are not a fun thing.

"Don't worry, I'm ready to prepare. By the way, you must prepare more food, preferably meat that is easy to carry! Stop the hungry! "I almost forgot about Xiaobai's needs.

Hong Hao nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, our bacon in Moyun County is a must!" I'll be sure to bring more! Do you want to worship the mountain gods? ”

I sneered: "Worship the mountain god? Does it also deserve? ”

I already know a lot about mountain gods, and if those mandrill spirits can keep one side safe, they are naturally worthy of worship and worship. How can those spirits who kill innocents indiscriminately deserve to become "mountain gods"?

In the past, my strength was low, and I may have to be cautious in the face of mandrill spirits. Now I don't pay attention to those things at all, and this time I don't need to worship the "mountain god", maybe I will have to get rid of the "mountain god"!

Hong Hao didn't say much, we had already discussed it before, and everyone must listen to me for tonight's action. For the sake of safety, I only asked Hong Hao to bring five or six sturdy men with good skills, and I can basically take care of this number.

Before leaving, I gave each of them a peace charm, which could ward them off for a moment in case of real danger.

Half an hour later, two off-road jeeps stopped at the foot of a mountain more than ten miles outside the city. A group of eight of us got out of the car here and walked cautiously up the mountainside.

The mountain is not very high, but the mountain road is rugged and the mountain temple is located on the mountainside, which is not accessible by car. After getting out of the car, the atmosphere around us was depressing, and all we could hear was the sound of insects chirping and us walking along the way.

After about half an hour, we finally saw the mountain temple. The Zhongshan Temple is hidden in the jungle at night, and if it weren't for Hong Hao and the others who had visited, it would have been really difficult for us to find it.

"Then be sure to pay attention to safety and shout loudly if there is danger! Hong Hao, you are familiar with the terrain near the mountain temple, lead the way in front. I commanded in a deep voice.

Hong Hao didn't say a word, he rushed to the front, and Xiaobai followed behind Hong Hao without hesitation. When I got closer, I found that the temple was quite large, and although the front hall looked dilapidated, the back yard was not too damaged.

Shining a flashlight on the gate of the mountain temple, you can clearly see that the heavy wooden door has already left traces of time, and the walls look crumbling under the wind and sun.

The mountain temple has been standing here for a long time, Hong Hao is a native of Moyun County, according to him, this mountain temple has at least a hundred years of history.

This kind of ancient building must be a cultural relic worthy of protection in the outside world, but in this deep mountain and old forest, no one cares at all.

"When you came today, the gate of the mountain temple was closed?" I asked.

With such a dilapidated front hall, there is really no need to close the door. According to Hong Hao, he has never been able to enter the mountain temple today, or he has not left any memory when he enters the mountain temple.

Needless to say, there must be something quirky inside this mountain temple. I didn't dare to act rashly, and I was going to discuss with Xiaobai before entering the mountain temple.

"That's right, the gate of the mountain temple was closed when we came before. I vaguely remember pushing open the door and entering, but I have no memory of what happened afterward. Hong Hao said a little nervously.

In fact, he wasn't sure if he had ever been there. All he remembered was that he seemed to push open the door and entered, but by the time he came to his senses again, it was already an hour later, and he was outside the mountain temple.

"What are you talking about? What's in there, just break in and see! Xiao Bai suddenly muttered, and neatly pushed open the door of the mountain temple.

Before I could see the situation in the mountain temple clearly, Xiaobai had already rushed in impatiently, and with a "bang", the door closed in response.

"Xiaobai!" My heart tightened and I shouted.

There was only silence in response, I was a little anxious, and shouted a few more times, but Xiaobai seemed to have disappeared, and never responded to me.

"Master Chen, what should I do now!" Hong Hao was also a little flustered.

I took a deep breath and said coldly, "You stand aside first, I'm going to destroy this door!" ”

When we arrived in front of the mountain temple, I had already begun to use the Qi Lookout technique to observe carefully, but from the outside, this mountain temple was nothing special.

But when I noticed the gate, I had a vague feeling that it cut off my exploration of the inside of the mountain temple. Now that Xiaobai has gone in, he has become quiet, I dare not rush in, and the best choice now is to break the door.

A talisman was thrown out, and with a "boom", the gate of the mountain temple burst into flames. The fire was fierce, and from the fire came a "crackling" blasting sound.

"Holy! Fanzi, what are you doing, you want to burn me! Stop, I'm going to be burned! Xiaobai's screams finally came from the mountain temple.
