Volume II, Chapter 31: The Ancient Village Murder Case
Let the strong wind on the top of the mountain howl, standing on the boulder and staring at the waterfall close at hand, Gu Xing was intoxicated by the monstrous majesty, imagining his own galloping in the waterfall, in a trance seemed to see a picture, the green dragon going upstream, with a huge mouth, hideous face, straight body, as if to go from the bottom up, the waterfall is divided into two, fantasizing about all kinds of situations, the picture sense is getting stronger and stronger, the waterfall seems to be getting smaller and smaller, his figure is getting bigger and bigger, and at a moment I feel that I am immersive.
"Boom" The roar emitted by the waterfall still pulled Gu Xing back to reality, looked at the not spacious surroundings, except for the stone and a few shrubs, and the grass in the stone crevice, there was nothing else, and the eyes looked forward again, there was a round stone at the end, the stone was in the shape of a column, standing on the edge of the cliff, the columnar stone was not high, if an adult wants to go up, as long as he used the next side to the few irregular stones similar to the stairs, he could easily go up, the top was smooth and shiny, if you want a meditation futon, someone should often sit on it!
Curious, playful, fresh, these characters exclusive to children have not been extinguished, to be exact, even if there is amnesia, innocence will still be there, through a few low bushes, Gu Xing raised his head and looked at the columnar stone in front of him, struggling whether to go up.
I looked at the waterfall on the opposite side again, and the pride hit my heart violently, the blood involuntarily surged, the competitiveness rose, and the small body began to climb among the stones.
Thinking of the roaring waterfall in his heart, the shocking power made Gu Xing feel small for the first time.
"If only I could collect this waterfall!" Gu Xing thought about the waterfall that shook his heart as he climbed up.
A long time has passed, and Daoqing and Daomu have already shuttled back and forth between the two Dao gates, standing outside the giant tree, the two of them taking a deep breath.
"Well, is it certain that he passed through one of these two Dao Gates!" Dao Mu said with a grin.
"He has really learned the ancient Dao scriptures to the realm of running freely, he is only three years old, and he has only used it for a year, not to mention that the remaining two Dao Gates can only be passed through by Dao Jian and Dao Xuan Senior Brother and Dao Ji Senior Sister, and we can't, the spiritual power in this is very undesirable to our spiritual power of the Five Elements attribute!" Dao Qing said.
"Now I have to let Senior Brother Dao Xuan take a look, Senior Brother Dao Jian and Senior Sister Dao Ji are not there. Daomu said depressedly.
"That's all there is to it. Daoqing nodded helplessly.
After a long day of hard work, Gu Xing finally climbed on top of the round stone pillar, and the small place less than one square meter wide made Gu Xing's body tremble slightly, after all, this is the highest point of the stone peak, from the edge of the cliff, and even the kind of sky-swallowing momentum exuded by the roaring waterfall on the opposite side can be clearly and directly sensed.
"It's so beautiful!" Gu Xing stood cautiously, not daring to move lightly.
Whirring and whistling, a strong wind accompanied by small raindrops blew directly over, Gu Xing's body was too small after all, even if he was in the spirit realm, he did not have any resistance in front of this kind of heavenly waterfall, if the light feathers, Gu Xing flew up and down, and after one step, he would fall into the abyss.
The cyan figure quickly passed through the stone pillar, jumped up, caught the falling ancient star, and blew a whistle into the void.
The huge crane swooped down from the clouds, and Gu Xing opened his eyes and found himself lying in the arms of a man who was riding on the back of a bird, hovering in the air, and then going straight to the sky against the waterfall.
The person who came was Dao Xuan, seeing that Gu Xing had woken up, there was no fear in his eyes, but he was a little calmer than he should be at this age, at first he thought that Gu Xing was frightened, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that this little guy has never been afraid of anything. I just saw that in the eyes of the little guy, there was actually a strong fighting intent, it was an indomitable fighting intent, he didn't speak, nodded approvingly, and Dao Xuan flew away with Gu Xing.
Gu Xing's temperament became a little silent when he returned to the winding peak, he no longer quarreled with Daoqing and Daomu to see his parents, nor did he send out the child's personality from time to time, let alone toss some of the things that were not there, at first Daoqing and Daomu would feel that the quiet life before was back, but Gu Xing's appearance made them worried. What did this little guy see when he entered that door, why didn't Senior Brother Dao Xuan say, where is it? The only thing that can be known is that Gu Xing is very sensible now, as if he grew up overnight, and more importantly, he began to exercise his body, not simply cultivating exercises such as the Ancient Dao Sutra to transform spiritual power, nor just sitting cross-legged to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, now Gu Xing found some exercises from Dao Qing and Dao Mu, and he began to cultivate his body.
Time flies, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, winter is coming to an end, spring seems to be calling, in this half a year, Gu Xing's behavior and thoughts have exceeded his age, no one only said what happened, and even when Dao Qing said that he wanted to take Gu Xing home, Gu Xing actually refused, that kind of overly mature words made Dao Qing and Dao Mu uneasy, they really didn't know why Gu Xing's temperament changed drastically.
Winding City, City Lord's Mansion, Gu Ruitian and Ling Tianhao, the head of the four major families, and the others sat together, and the faces of the five people were full of anger.
"It's too much, it's too much, there's no humanity, there's no humanity, nearly a thousand human lives, a thousand living lives, it's so brutally slaughtered, who's who, who's who? In the past thousand years, there has never been such a murder case in the winding city, this is not only a provocation to the dignity of the winding city, but also a disregard for life, why do you want to attack mortals, it is a thousand lives, if it is a war, it can be understood, but for mortals, it is a peaceful period, it is a peaceful period, who is it?" Ling Tianhao roared angrily, still filled with righteous indignation at the massacre of the entire village outside the southern suburbs last night.
"Calm down first, think we don't want to find out? The saddest thing now should be Su Su!" Gu Ruitian calmly persuaded.
"You can't solve the problem when you're sad, since it's happening in my sphere of influence, I'll definitely find out!" Yu Susu looked very calm at the moment, and he couldn't see how sad he was, but there was a sense of determination in his calm words.
"In the past year and a half, the bustle of the winding city seems to be more than before, and there are many small forces settled in, and there are many and miscellaneous, I always feel that something is surging, to be honest, I have always been inexplicably uneasy recently, as if someone is planning to attack the winding city, but there is no clue. It's true that Winding City is an ancient city, and the place is a little bigger than other cities, but the monuments and other things seem to have been excavated almost, and there is nothing else to make people want to do in Winding City. Ge Mukun thought of the changes in the past year or so, as well as the inexplicable feelings in his heart recently, and said slowly.
"I feel this way too, but when those small forces settled in, we all communicated with each other and checked it, and there seems to be no connection!" replied on foot.
"Let's focus on the murder of the ancient village first, I think the person who caused the trouble must have targeted this village for a reason. Gu Ruitian interrupted everyone, in fact, he himself felt this way, but the current incident seemed to be an opportunity, an opportunity to lead from the result to the cause.
"The ancient village, located in the southern suburbs of the winding city, near the edge of the lower reaches of the ancient river, its time to build the village is a long time, this village has only produced one spirit, up to now, the people of the entire village are all mortals, do not have any spiritual power, they are not aggressive, very simple, I really can't think of what the perpetrator wants?"
"That's all you know, nothing specific, such as the recent news or intelligence about the ancient village?" Ling Tianhao asked suspiciously.
"Someone has been sent to collect all kinds of information about the ancient village recently, and it should be back soon. Yu Susu replied.
"By the way, you said that there was a spirit in the ancient village?" Ling Haotian asked as if he had caught something.
"Yes, everyone knows it, it's the legend of Winding City, everyone says he is from Winding City, but no one knows that he is actually from the ancient village, and this has become a forbidden thing to talk about in the ancient village. Yu Susu replied.
"Then there is no one to cultivate for thousands of people?" Ling Tianhao didn't seem to believe it, now that the cultivation style of the entire Spirit Yuan Continent was particularly prevalent, how could there be a place with thousands of people without a single spirit person?
"At this point, our intelligence doesn't seem to be in place, after all, we didn't take this village to heart, because there are no spirits in it, a village without spirits, I believe everyone should be like me, they won't care!"
"In any case, there is something strange about this matter, let's not let go of this clue, after all, if it can become a taboo, there will definitely be a past, and look at what has happened in the lower reaches of the ancient river recently, winter is about to pass, is spring a new life or a perdition?"
A heavy atmosphere suddenly swept the whole scene, everyone was silent for a while, this murder happened beyond everyone's imagination, or suddenly.
"By the way, what clues are there at the scene?" Gu Ruitian was the first to break the silence.
"Judging from the scene, the number of murderers should not exceed ten, and no matter the body shape and step exercises used, they all have a strong feminine aura, like what a woman did! But there are occasionally a few footprints that indicate that it should be a man; there is no clue to the murder weapon that committed the crime, but judging from the posture of the dead people, those murderers should have acted very calmly, because they had enough time to move the corpse!"
"Is there any definite clue, or the same indication?" asked Gu Ruitian again after hearing the answer given by Yu Susu.
"The only thing that can be determined at the scene is that the murderer was extremely cruel, and everyone had their left eye gouged out, regardless of gender, old and young. Yu Susu gritted his teeth and said.
"What, everyone is missing an eye!" Gu Ruitian stood up violently and shouted in surprise.
