The night rain invaded a corner of the mountain in the south of the plain.

The weather is thundering, wind and rain, and this kind of weather is very easy to cause flash floods.

Therefore, more than 100 people in Yanhu Village gathered in the temple with a slightly higher level in the village.

In the past, when it rained so hard, the Chengshan faction on the top of the mountain had already sent dozens of disciples to protect the villagers, ready to take them to high places to avoid danger at any time.

But tonight's thunderstorm has been falling for at least an hour and a half, but not a single Chengshan disciple has appeared.

The rain continued to fall, and the stagnant water had already flooded into the temple, and most of the villagers began to panic, making the village chief think quickly.

It was dark and the road was slippery, and there was no expectation or sight where the rocks would roll down, so it would only be more dangerous for everyone to leave the temple and go out to take shelter at this time.

The village chief ordered several young and middle-aged people in the village to demolish the stone platform of the temple and build the stones at the door to prevent the seepage of water.

After that, although no one from the Chengshan faction came all night, the situation gradually waned after the rain, and it did not cause greater losses to the villagers.

Before dawn, the rain had stopped abruptly.

However, when the sun rises, there is still a lot of rain in some parts of the village – but fortunately, there are no houses collapsing or rocks slipping into the village.

The village chief quickly stopped the villagers from cleaning up the mess in the village.

However, when it was almost noon, no one from the Chengshan faction appeared, and this piece has always worried the village chief.

"In the past, the people of the Chengshan faction took care of us a lot, but this time I think about it, I always feel that something is wrong, most likely they are also in trouble," the village chief called a middle-aged man alone, "You are the strongest in our village, go up the mountain to see, if they need help, come down and tell them, anyway, our village is fine, it's time for us to help." ”

The prime man nodded, and without saying a word, he turned around and left the village.

The location of the Shiroyama faction is at the top of the large hill behind the village, and the distance from the bottom to the top is about 200 zhang high. For these villagers, there is a shortcut to climb the mountain, but it is very tiring.

Especially after just experiencing a torrential rain.

The well-preserved stone steps are slippery and difficult to walk, not to mention some of the ones that have been completely covered in dirt, broken branches and leaves, or have broken themselves.

The prime of life cautiously walked step by step to the top of the mountain.

As it got closer to the top of the mountain, it became more and more amiss.

The air along the way down the mountain was filled with the smell of grass and earth after the rain, but now it seemed to be mixed with a faint fishy smell.

The prime man came to the gate of the Chengshan faction, and the surroundings were quiet as if this place had been deserted.

A crack opened in the thick door.

The prime man did not rush to push the door in, but approached and knocked on the door.

He himself found that the gate was too heavy and thick, and the sound of knocking was like throwing a needle into the sea.

Just as he was looking for the rings on the door, he noticed that both rings had fallen to the ground.

Sensing that something was wrong, he tried to push the door open. But behind the door, something was pressed against it, and it didn't move at all.

"Is anyone there? The knights of the Chengshan faction are here? The village chief asked me to come up and see if I need our help. ”

No matter what he said, there was still a dead silence inside and outside the door.

After waiting for a while, the prime man tried his best to go to the crack in the door to look inside, but only saw that the back of the door was empty

A stone path, but the heart-stopping smell is even stronger.

He couldn't push the door open, and no one responded to the shouting.

He had to go around to the nearby wall and climb a tree near the wall to look inside.

However, this hope almost didn't drop him directly from the tree.

He was so frightened that he lost his strength and slipped down the tree.

But he didn't care about being rubbed into his palms, so he stumbled down the mountain as if he had lost his soul.

A few hours later, the village chief took him up the mountain with a dozen other village men.

Together, everyone forced the door open.

However, although they had already heard the situation in detail from the prime of life before, the moment everyone stepped through the door, there was still a sound of astonishment—it was nothing else that was holding against the gate, it was the corpses of the disciples of the Chengshan Sect who had been piled together like a pile of grain—they were stacked one on top of the other, and there were at least ten people behind the door.

Not only is there such a 'scene' behind the gate, but the entire Jozan sect is like a farmland during the autumn harvest, and there are piles of 'corpses' everywhere.

On the walls, on the ground, among the flowers and trees...... Everywhere was stained with blood that had dried up or soaked in rainwater.

Last night's rain not only did not wash away the blood, but spread it out in all directions, and this scene was chilling.

"Village Chief......" A few bold old men went around the Chengshan faction, and when they came back, their shoes and trouser legs were stained with blood, and they trembled and said, "No...... There is no one alive...... And there is no one who dies alone...... It's all piles of corpses...... There are ten piles in total...... They all died last night...... How are we ......? What to do......"

"Quick, Hurry up Officer!"
