I noticed that the surrounding villagers had a look of horror on their faces as they watched the bodies being burned.

One look at their expressions can tell that the family of four who died must be extraordinary.

"Who are you two? How did you come to our village? ”

The old man in the military coat seemed to be the old village chief that the middle-aged woman said, and he immediately saw Jin Lin and Zhong Ling, and immediately walked over and asked.

Jin Lin replied: "We are just passing by here, because it is getting late, and we want to spend the night." ”

The old man in the military coat looked at Jin Lin and the two of them carefully, then nodded and said, "It's okay to stay overnight, let's wait a while." ”

"Old man, are they a family, why are they all dead?" Zhong Ling asked directly pointing to the burning corpse.

The old village chief frowned suddenly, and said, "Don't ask too much, so as not to frighten you, you can rest in peace for one night, and leave tomorrow." ”

It's good that the old village chief didn't say that, but as soon as he said it, Zhong Ling became interested: "Old man, don't worry, we won't be afraid, my little brother is a Taoist priest, maybe he can help you." ”

As he spoke, Zhong Ling pointed to Jin Lin next to him.

The old village chief was stunned for a moment, looked at Jin Lin and said, "Are you really a Taoist priest?" ”

Jin Lin nodded: "Yes, the old man might as well talk about it." ”

The old village chief glanced back at the burning corpse, and then said to Jin Lin with some excitement: "Little Dao Chief, you must save the people in our village!" ”

Jin Lin told the old village chief not to worry, and said slowly.

I could tell from the old village chief's words just now that the old village chief was a good man, and he wouldn't have let us stay for one night and leave quickly.

The old village chief hurriedly said: "Our village is evil, and this is the second time that all the families have died. ”

Evil?

He's not talking about being haunted, he's evil.

Immediately afterwards, the old village chief told the village about the matter.

It turned out that a week earlier, a family in the village had died.

The family was a family of three, a couple and a child.

A week earlier, the woman had suddenly become like a wild animal, mad and eating raw meat, whatever she saw.

At first, everyone thought she was suffering from some strange disease, so the village doctor got some medicine and forced her to take it.

The medicine seemed to work, and the crazy woman was honest after taking the medicine.

As a result, three days later, the frightening thing happened, the woman actually killed her husband and children with her own hands in the night, and then she hanged herself on the beams of her home.

Although the people in the village were afraid, they all thought that the woman was like this because she was not cured of madness, and they did not pay much attention to it.

However, the day after the family died, another family in the village had the same thing.

However, this time it was the man who fell insane, and he became like a wild beast, catching and eating raw poultry from all over the village.

Just last night, the man, like the first woman who went mad, killed the whole family, even his own wife and his favorite daughter.

After listening to the old village chief, Jin Lin pointed to the burning corpse in front of him and asked, "Is this the family that is burning now?" ”

The old village chief nodded: "Well, it's this family, we are worried that the same thing will happen, so we don't dare to bury them directly, burn them and bury them later." ”

I couldn't help frowning, no wonder the old village chief said that it was evil, this really didn't look like a haunt.

Even if you are caught by a ghost, you won't go crazy and eat raw meat.

"Xiaodao Chief, take a good look, what evil is going on in our village?" The old village chief said to Jin Lin again.

Jin Lin's brows suddenly tightened, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

There can't be a ghost who can hide the senses of the three of us at the same time, so it can be concluded that this thing is not the work of ghosts.

The best way to find out what was going on was to look at the body of the deceased, but unfortunately, the body was immediately burned to ashes, and we couldn't see anything.

"Old man, in this case, you take us to the deceased's house to have a look."

After thinking about it, Jin Lin said.

The old village chief nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll take you there now." ”

At this time, the corpse was basically burned, and the old village chief ordered someone to collect the ashes and bury them, and then led Jin Lin and Zhong Ling to the back of the village.

We followed the old village chief all the way to the back of the village, and first went to the house of the family of four that had just been burned.

The houses in the village are all made of wood and thatch, and this family is the same, a small courtyard with three thatched houses.

After entering the courtyard, the old village chief first pointed to the door of the main house and said, "After the man killed his family, he hanged himself on the door frame at the main entrance. Then he pointed to the side room and said, "His family was killed in the kitchen by him." ”

I asked Jin Lin to ask him how he was sure that the man was the murderer and how his family was killed by him.

As soon as Jin Lin asked, the old village chief replied: "The man was still holding a kitchen knife in his hand when he died, and his family members were all slashed wounds. ”

"And when did you find out?"

Zhong Ling also seemed to realize something, and interjected to ask.

Hearing Zhong Ling's question, the old village chief hurriedly said: "This is also the strangest place, our village is not big, and there is a little movement at night that the whole village can hear it, but when these two families had an accident, we didn't hear a sound, and we found out that their family was dead at dawn." ”

I immediately wondered, how could I not scream when I was hacked to death with a kitchen knife.

The old village chief said that the same situation was true of the first family that died.

After listening to the old village chief, we went into the kitchen.

The kitchen floor was covered with dry, blackened blood, and the floor was littered with marks from struggle.

Apparently, his family had a fierce struggle to resist when he killed him.

However, the rest of the village did not hear the movement.

It was clear that at the time of the incident, something had sealed the entire courtyard and prevented the sound from coming out.

It's just that neither Jin Lin nor I sensed any residual aura from the ghosts.

"Hmph, don't look at it, it's not a ghost, it's a wizard."

At this time, Zhong Ling stared at the wooden door of the kitchen and said.

"Wizard?"

Zhong Ling pointed to the wooden door of the kitchen and said, "You guys come and see this thing." ”

Jin Lin and I walked over suspiciously, took a closer look, and found a bunch of withered flowers hanging on the wooden door.

This flower, which I know and is very common in the countryside, is a wildflower that grows on the side of the road, a lantern plant.

The lantern plant is also called the ghost flower because after it withers, it looks like a human skull.

I was puzzled and asked Zhong Ling, "Does this flower have anything to do with wizards?" ”

I have dealt with wizards, the same wizard I solved with Wang Yicheng of the Dragon and Tiger Sect last time, and I also specifically asked the Great Elder about wizards, but unfortunately the Great Elder said that he didn't know much about wizards.

Zhong Ling nodded and said: "Wizards don't focus on cultivating Taoism, they specialize in using some insects, flowers and plants and other things to cast spells on people's heads, this village must have been lowered by wizards." ”

Hearing Zhong Ling say this, Jin Lin immediately reacted, and immediately asked, "Old man, apart from us, has anyone else in the village been here?" ”

The old village chief thought for a moment, and then said, "By the way, some time ago, a very young man passed through our village twice. ”

Young lads?

"That young man looks like a teenager, he said that he came from the other side of the mountain, and he wanted to go to the city to do things, and the first time he came to our village was several months ago, but some time ago, he came back again, saying that the city was not good, and he went back to his hometown on the other side of the mountain." The old village chief continued.

I immediately thought of who the old village chief was talking about.

Wang Yicheng of the Dragon and Tiger Sect!

But Wang Yicheng definitely wouldn't do such a thing, and he is not a wizard.

"But I don't look at that young man like a bad guy, he's just like you, he stayed overnight and left." The old village chief said suspiciously.

"Old man, think about it carefully, what did he do to the person you said."

Jin Lin and Zhong Ling didn't know about Wang Yicheng, so Jin Lin said immediately.

Seeing this, I hurriedly told them that that person was a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and he couldn't be a wizard!
