Wu Qi, Kong Miaozhi and the eldest grandson Wufang couldn't stay long because they were still living in the Li Mansion, so they hurriedly rushed back after talking for a while. Chu Mu pushed Du Jie and Ye Tingcheng aside again. When he and Gu Wu were left, Gu Wu touched a small piece of something from his body and handed it to Chu Mu: "Senior brother, look." ”

"This is ......" Chu Mu thought that Gu Wu had something to say to himself, but he didn't expect Gu Wu to hand over a small thing, this thing was not gold or wood, only a few inches long: "This is a finger bone?" ”

"Yes, this section was found in Mount Bulao. Big brother, don't you think this finger bone looks like a ......? Gu Wu said with a frown

"This phalanx is ......, this is the living dead of the cult? There are living dead people on the mountain of immortality?! Chu Mu only paused slightly, and then exclaimed.

"Senior brother also thinks that this phalanx is like a living dead? In this way, there were really living dead people in Bulao Mountain, and they fought with people, so this phalanx remained. But now the traces of the Bulao Mountain have been buried. Who did it? Cult? Does the matter of Bulao Mountain have anything to do with them? ”

Gu Wu said again: "It may be a cult, but it may also be the imperial court?" ”

Chu Mu didn't understand what Gu Wu meant, and Gu Wu also continued

"At the foot of Mount Bulao, I found a large number of horses' hoof prints, which were very deep, not like ordinary horses, like armoured war horses in the army. My guess is that there may have been people from the army who have been to Bulao Mountain. ”

"Did the imperial court do it? Or did the Northwest Army do it privately? There's something weird about it. ”

Chu Mu and Gu Wu glanced at each other, and for a long time, Chu Mu asked cautiously: "Second brother, if it is really done by the Northwest Garrison, is there any matter of the local yamen here, and have you heard any rumors?" ”

Gu Wu shook his head: "No, the third-class officials that day never left Yongzhou City at all, and more than 100 people died in Bulao Mountain, and no one knows where these 100 or so people were buried in the end." ”

Just when Chu Mu was still digesting this information, Gu Wu said again: "There is another thing, the fifth child smelled a faint corpse smell from the room of the eldest lady of the Li Mansion, this eldest lady lives in a simple place all the year round, and there is only one maid who marries from her mother's house all the year round, and some of the new maids who have entered the mansion have never seen the eldest lady at all. Gu Wu said slowly

"You doubt the Grand Lady?"

"It's not clear, but even if she is not a cult person, it definitely has something to do with Master Li's disappearance...... Senior brother, I have always been a little uncomfortable since I got this finger bone, I feel like I have a pair of eyes staring at me all the time, as if my every move in Yongzhou is under the control of that person. Gu Wu finished speaking, and then paused for a cup of tea and said.

"What? With your light skills, you will still be followed, it seems that the other party is a little tricky. Chu Mu chuckled in his heart when he heard this

"It's just that if there is a feeling of nothing, I don't know if I am being followed or not." Gu Wu said a little unconfidently

"Forget it, you be more careful, tomorrow I will enter the Li Mansion, if there is anything, come to me at any time. It is located in the northwest, and it is not surprising that there is a cult, but the cult has disappeared for so many years, and it is really not good news that it has appeared in the northwest. If it has anything to do with Li Wenyuan's disappearance, then it is not something we can handle. Chu Mu said with a frown

"As soon as the cult was discovered, it was expelled from the Central Plains by the heroes of the world, and after so many years, there has been no news of them on the rivers and lakes, and this land of Yongzhou is a battlefield for conquest, and it is indeed a place that the cult likes. It's a tricky thing, and if it really has anything to do with them, what should we do about it? Gu Wu asked Chu Mudao

Listening to Chu Mu and Gu Wu's tone, it seemed that they were deeply jealous of this so-called cult, and they were not to blame. When the cult was rampant, they were just children, the development of the cult was like a plague, spread in many places, many people began to worship a kind of living dead as gods for different reasons, the first living dead was found in a mass grave, when a woodcutter passed by, in broad daylight thought that he had entered the ghost, frightened and turned his head and ran back to the village, this kind of living dead seemed to be invulnerable, and the power is infinite, at first the peasant was only a monster, with a hoe, a nail rake wanted to kill this monster, but no matter how to fight, This kind of thing seems to be unharmed, but someone who is bitten by this kind of thing immediately convulses and dies. The folk customs in the countryside have not yet opened, and most people think it is an evil thing when they see this thing. There are even gods who jump out and say that this is a catastrophe, a punishment from heaven, and three animals need to be sacrificed. When the people heard this, they dared to disobey and hurriedly set up temples to worship. But it didn't work at all, the monster grew from a few at first to dozens, and came out to harm people at night. The person who was bitten either died, or became such a monster that was neither human nor ghostly.

Later, I don't know where to start.,It seems that the patriarch of a village took a little flower called Hanako to worship as three animals.,I didn't expect the little flower to disappear the next day.,And here has not been seen for more than half a year.。 Slowly, people seem to understand that this thing needs to be sacrificed by the living. Since then, this kind of human sacrifice has been out of control.

Originally, it would have been fine, although it was a bit cruel to use living people to commemorate, but during the war years, people almost ate the last meal and did not have the next meal, and human life was not worth anything at all. But at this moment, a group of people suddenly jumped out to preach the doctrine, and people saw with their own eyes that these people could actually command those who were alive and dead, and not only that, but these people seemed to be like the land gods, calling for wind and rain, scattering beans into soldiers. These people claim to be messengers from heaven to protect all suffering people from the flames of war.

This gave hope to all the helpless people, more and more people joined the cult, more and more temples of the living dead were established in different villages, and the temple of each village guarded a living dead and guarded the villagers, and as a condition, a pair of boys and girls must be sent to the temple for half a year. And if there is a young man who dies, he shall not be buried, but shall be brought with him to the temple. This was not a problem at all for the people of the time. Moreover, in the village guarded by the Temple of the Living Dead, the wind and rain are smooth every year, which makes people worship like a god. During that time, every temple of the living dead was full of incense. And this temple of the living dead has almost developed to the land of two states in less than two years.

Of course, such a thing alarmed the imperial court, and the imperial court immediately judged this to be an act of subversion of the imperial court, and sent troops to encircle and suppress it, but not only did it not deal with the cult, but the imperial court suffered heavy losses. At that time, the war in the northwest was tight, and the imperial court really did not have the extra energy to take care of these things, but fortunately, the cult seemed to feel that it was developing too fast, and did not expand outward. That's supposed to be the end of it. But unfortunately, at that time, a little monk of the precept generation of the Jialan Temple passed by this place where the cult was rampant in order to send a letter to Master Sansi, and the patriarch of a village saw that it was a foreign monk, so he moved his mind and wanted to take him to the human sacrifice for half a year.

Thanks to the little monk's cleverness, he pretended to be unconscious and escaped and fled back to the Garan Monastery overnight. This incident finally alarmed Master Sansi, originally these two states were the two poorest states in the entire Central Plains, and there were basically not many people in the rivers and lakes, and it was normal that they were not valued by the people in the rivers and lakes. After the monk learned about this, he felt that it was not trivial. He personally went down the mountain to investigate here, and he first found a living dead man in the Temple of the Living Dead, and found that it was a dead man who had been dead for many days. It was fed by a new supply by means of sacrifice. At that time, Master Sansi, who saw the truth about the living dead, was surprised, he was very knowledgeable, but this method seemed to have only been seen in a very tattered novel of gods and monsters in the Library Pavilion, and he didn't expect that there would really be someone, and it had developed to the land of two states. It took a lot of effort for Master Sansi to beat the living dead to the point where he couldn't move, and this kind of living dead didn't know pain, didn't know tiredness, and couldn't kill them at all unless they hit the vital point.

Master Sansi felt that the situation was serious and did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly returned to Mengshan Garan Temple, and then as the acting head of Garan Temple, he summoned all the heroes of the world to come to Garan Temple to discuss this matter. After this discussion, most of the sects were a little suspicious of Master Sansi, and the first time the three temples, seven sects, and twenty-one sects only sent the second generation of disciples with less than 100 people. As a result, within half a month, everyone except for three people was wiped out. This shocked the entire martial arts. And among the three people who survived, except for Master Sansi, who led the team, the other two were crazy.

Only then did all the martial arts people understand that this religion that breeds evil spirits has long since become something that one faction can compete with. After three days, all sects and sects with names and surnames on the rivers and lakes sent elite disciples to participate in the action of encircling and suppressing the cult.

This battle was extremely hard, both sides suffered heavy losses, and those sects with inheritance almost took out all the secret treasures in the sect. The most important thing is that the local people are very hostile to the people of Wulin, and they have to avoid dealing with the common people. This protracted tug-of-war ended quickly with the addition of Tianjisuo Zhouli and Tianjimen, because Tianjisuo didn't know how to find the dead of these living dead, and everyone's weapons were tempered by Tianjisuo before setting off, and then fighting those living dead became as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

In the end, he fought a decisive battle with the leader of the cult on the coast of the East China Sea, and the leader of the cult was really good, and with the strength of one person, he led the eight ghost kings to face the heroes of the world alone and did not change his face. It took three days and three nights for the people of the martial arts to wipe out all the eight ghost kings with a wheel battle, and the leader of the cult finally only let go of a cruel word, and then jumped into the sea. Since then, there has been no news of the cult.

But it didn't take long for the rivers and lakes to break out that the Su family, which was known for taming beasts, actually began to raise evil ghosts and raised a ghost king. Cult is an eternal pain in the hearts of all sects, this kind of thing was taken out as a model at that time, and the entire martial arts with heads and faces sent representatives, and none of the hundreds of people in the Su family were killed.

And five years ago, on the coast of the East China Sea, at the place where the cult leader jumped off the cliff, seven evil Jiao suddenly burst out, and the wheel of fate was so dramatic, those gangs that surrounded and suppressed the cult leader back then all suffered heavy losses in this massacre, and the person who raised the Jiao claimed to be Su Ran, the contemporary head of the Su family.
