"You're going to regret it!"
The young swordsman fled in confusion, but never made a move, and after squeezing out of the crowd, he quickly dodged into the distance.
"No need to chase!"
The villagers were about to chase after them, but the old man shouted loudly, stopped them, and said, "Let's finish the sacrifice first, and then it's not too late to settle accounts with him." ”
This old man is indeed the head of the village, and he still has some prestige, and when the villagers heard this, they didn't say much, and walked back to their places one by one, and whipped the bones on the ground again.
"Kill the drought!
With each blow, they would inevitably shout, and it seemed like they were filled with endless hatred for the bones.
Behind a big tree not far away, a figure slowly walked out, watching the movements of those villagers from a distance, revealing a thoughtful expression.
This person is Xiao Ning, who has just been separated from Ye Qingdie and others.
Before, he relied on the induction of the origin of the cicada, all the way to find the demonic breath, two days passed, and he happened to come to the vicinity of this small stone village, and was attracted by the movement here.
"Something doesn't look right with these people, Dryfish? What's that?"
Xiao Ning had never heard of the word drought, but judging from the reactions of these villagers, it may have something to do with the severe drought here.
Turning his gaze to the direction where the young swordsman left just now, Xiao Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of approval, and he muttered to himself: "This guy is quite interesting, and his temperament is not bad, I don't know how much he knows about the situation here, maybe I can get some information from him." ”
Thinking of this, Xiao Ning subconsciously raised his footsteps, and wanted to chase after the young swordsman.
But as soon as the footsteps were raised, there was a sudden sigh.
Turning around, Xiao Ning looked at the location of the villagers of Xiaoshi Village again, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"They're ......"
At this time, the bones on the ground were basically beaten to the point that they were not in shape, and the movements of the villagers' hands slowly slowed down, panting heavily.
The reason why Xiao Ning stopped was not because these villagers suddenly stopped, after all, their mortal bodies, such a high-intensity volley, they would always be tired.
When he was about to chase the young swordsman just now, the village chief suddenly waved his hand, and immediately several strong men stepped forward and piled up all the bones that had been smoked out of shape, and it was precisely because of this that Xiao Ning was stunned.
"After the whipping, do you have to bury it again?"
Xiao Ning felt quite strange in his heart, and he didn't know what these villagers of Xiaoshi Village were going to do, so he continued to watch patiently.
Soon, when the strong men had piled all the bones together, several others carried buckets and poured liquid on them.
"Is this, kerose?" Xiao Ning's nose moved, and his face became even more strange.
Before he could think about it, the village chief had already lit a torch, and the villagers of Xiaoshi Village gathered around the pile of bones, opening and closing their mouths one by one, chanting words.
"Looks like they're not targeting the bones themselves, the Dryfish, are they the evil spirits that possess them?"
Of course, Xiao Ning didn't believe in such a thing, because the Heavenly Cicada Origin had never reacted, which meant that there could be no evil spirit body hidden in these bones.
These villagers should have acted superstitution, or someone had deceived them into achieving some purpose.
While Xiao Ning was thinking, the village chief suddenly threw out the torch in his hand, and a raging fire instantly ignited on the bones.
Looking at the firelight, Xiao Ning suddenly changed his mind.
"Maybe the boy doesn't know why, so he'd better wait until the evening to act. ”
At night, Xiaoshi Village changed the hustle and bustle of the day, and all the villagers returned to their homes, making the whole village extremely quiet.
On the street of the village, a figure suddenly flashed by, the speed was extremely fast, in this darkness, it was difficult to catch his figure, even if you concentrated on it, at most you could only see a faint shadow, if you didn't look carefully, you would only think it was dazzling.
This figure is Xiao Ning, who happened to encounter the villagers digging graves and whipping corpses during the day, and then incinerated them. Originally, he wanted to catch up with the young swordsman before and learn about the situation here, but after thinking about it, it was up to him to come forward and understand more clearly in Xiaoshi Village.
"Most of the people here don't seem to have slept yet. ”
Xiao Ning didn't directly disturb the people in Xiaoshi Village, and his body fluttered lightly, like a gust of wind, without causing a trace of movement.
The figure flickered, and Xiao Ning randomly found one of the buildings and pasted it.
The villagers of Xiaoshi Village are self-sufficient, and there are basically no outsiders in the village, so they do not close their doors at night, and the house selected by Xiao Ning is very simple, and the lights are bright inside, but there is no sound.
With his current cultivation, even a swordsman who is following the dark gold rank is difficult to find, not to mention that the villagers here are just ordinary people.
However, just in case, he still carefully restrained his breath.
This little stone village gave him a very strange feeling, and he didn't want to reveal his identity directly until the matter was clarified.
The body fluttered to the outside of the window of this house, and Xiao Ning looked inside through the gap.
There is not much space inside, just a room of more than twenty square meters, and when Xiao Ning looked in, he saw an old woman kneeling in front of an incense table at first sight, her hands clasped together, her eyes closed, and her mouth chanting words, as if she was praying for something.
Xiao Ning used his soul power, and he could faintly hear that what the old woman was reading in her mouth was "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable".
On closer inspection, there is a tablet on the incense table, an incense burner, and there are no offerings.
He thought that the other party was worshipping the ancestors, but when he heard the "Immeasurable Tianzun", his heart moved, and when he looked up, he found that the tablet was not an ancestral tablet, but only the words "Tianzun" were written.
"Tianzun?"
Xiao Ning doesn't know why, there are not many ancient powerhouses with the title of Tianzun in the cultivation world, and the most representative is naturally the Yuan Shi Tianzun, also known as the Yuan Shi God and Demon, but not all those who worship Tianzun are Yuan Shi.
After looking at the window for a while, Xiao Ning found that the old woman had always been motionless, maintaining that posture all the time, and she didn't know if it would last until dawn.
After a little hesitation, he did not break in, but retreated, and then his figure flashed, and he swept towards the other houses.
But soon he found out the same situation again, this time it was no longer an old woman, but a young couple, judging from their age, they should have been newly married and had no heirs.
They knelt side by side in front of an incense table, on which the worship was still the god with the word "Tianzun" written on it.
"Strange, isn't it possible that they don't sleep at night in Xiaoshi Village?"
Although it is not yet late at night, it is not too early, and the average small village must have blown out the lamp and slept at this point.
Although Xiao Ning felt strange in his heart, he still didn't bother them, and continued to walk to the next house.
I walked through several houses one after another, but still found nothing else, and almost all the villagers in each house were doing the same thing.
However, Xiao Ning also found out that the same family lived in this house, and if there were children or old people in the family, it was the young couple who were kneeling and worshipping, while the old man and the child had already fallen asleep.
Unless, as he first saw, there was only one old woman in the house, then the old woman knelt down in front of the incense table.
"Could it be that they are some kind of Heavenly Venerable Sect disciples? Only the sect has a specific system, it seems that they are performing some kind of sacrifice, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the daytime events. ”
Xiao Ning groaned in his heart, and when his body flickered, he had already come to the next room.
This time, when he looked through the gap in the windowsill, his gaze froze.
"The head of Xiaoshi Village?"
That's right, what appeared in his sight this time was the old man who led the villagers to dig up the graves and whip the corpses during the day, and he, like everyone else, knelt down in front of the Tianzun incense case, and kept whispering the words "Immeasurable Tianzun" in his mouth.
"Let's just go in and ask, this village chief should know more than the others. ”
Judging from the situation he found before, even if he continues to investigate, he should not find anything, this village chief must be the one with the highest status in the village, and he will know more information, Xiao Ning decided to go in directly and ask.
Of course, it was impossible for him to swagger in, and as soon as his body moved, he had turned into a wisp of breeze, and he got into the window without making the slightest movement.
The village chief still had his eyes closed, kneeling there with his hands folded, his mouth constantly opening and closing, completely unaware that there was an uninvited guest in his house.
After entering the house, Xiao Ning's soul power covered the entire room, completely blocking out all the sounds here, and then the soul power rushed towards the village chief's consciousness.
After comprehending the Star Realm, Xiao Ning's soul power has improved a lot, and he is now able to control other people's consciousness, of course, this is only limited to people whose spiritual cultivation is far inferior to his.
And this village chief is obviously just an ordinary person, under the invasion of soul power, his body instantly stiffened, and the muttering voice in his mouth stopped abruptly.
After sensing it a little, Xiao Ning made sure that he was completely in control of the other party, and then he spoke: "Get up, I have a few questions I want to ask you, you must answer me honestly!"
But everything that involves the church must have its own secrets, and if there is faith, there will be crazy actions, and under normal circumstances, it is possible that they will refuse to die and not report it.
In order to avoid trouble, Xiao Ning directly exerted his soul power on this kind of ordinary person.
And under the control of the power of the soul, he won't remember what happened now, and it is impossible to hide it when he asks.
Under the control of Xiao Ning's soul power, the village chief slowly stood up from the ground, turned around, and looked at him with dull eyes.
Xiao Ning sat directly on the stool next to him, lifted the water shell and poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip before he spoke: "You are the village chief of this village?"
The other party nodded, his expression still sluggish.
"What did you do during the day? ”
With Xiao Ning's current soul power, for ordinary people, even if he is called a god, it is not an exaggeration to deal with ordinary people like the village chief, basically Xiao Ning will answer whatever he asks.
