Tick! Tick!

The sound of horses' hooves trampling on the bluestone slab sounded in Guimen Village, and the sound echoed and could be heard clearly.

The torches have already been lit by everyone, the bonfire is bright, and the crackling sound of the torch burning makes Guimen Village even more weird.

The border guards took the lead, and Wushan followed, with a thousand soldiers lined up in two rows, guarding the left and right wings, and slowly advanced to the location of the ancestral hall of the clan in Guimen Village, where there is a small flat land, which is very suitable for camping.

"Camp in place!"

The cavalry captain arranged for one of his lieutenants to be responsible for setting up camp, and the other two lieutenants repaired in situ, and would accompany him to inspect Guimen Village later.

Wushan took advantage of this time to recuperate, ate some dry cakes, and nourished his spirit.

After a while, Wushan will definitely follow along.

Half an hour later, Wushan and the cavalry captain guarded the city and divided the troops, each with a lieutenant battalion, and searched from house to house.

Walking into the first house, Wushan waited in the courtyard for a while under the protection of the captain with the troops.

"Boss, sir, there are three people in it, two old and one young, all of them are asleep to death, and they can't wake up."

Wu Shan and the lieutenant glanced at each other, thought about it for two seconds, and Wu Shan took the lead and walked in.

On the big bed, there were two old men in plain clothes, about sixty years old, and next to them lay a little baby wearing open crotch pants.

Wu Shan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to test the snort of the three of them, his breath was even, his expression was serene, and there was no sense of disobedience.

After thinking about it, a ball of Wen Qi appeared in Wu Shan's hand and swept over the three of them one by one.

However, only the older two reacted, and their expressions became frightened and frightened for a moment, but soon returned to serenity.

Wu Shan frowned, knowing that his literary realm was not enough to directly wake up the sleeping old man.

As for the little baby, there was no reaction at all.

"Get out of the way and keep searching!!"

"Yes, sir!"

The second family, a family of four, was also lying neatly on the bed, breathing evenly.

This time, Wushan found some details, although the family of four was lying on the bed and sleeping, their clothes were not changed, their shoes were not taken off, and the quilt was not covered.

The appearance of the four of them was as if they were unconscious and fainted on the bed.

"Get out of the way and keep searching!!"

"Yes!"

Next, Wushan led people to continue the search, from the ancestral hall to the end of the village, nothing was found, and everyone's state was exactly the same.

An hour later, Wushan returned to the camp and met with the cavalry captain Bian Shoucheng, and the two of them looked at each other and shook their heads, but they didn't gain anything.

"Fix it up first, and then take a look when it's dawn?"

"Good!"

The suggestion of riding the captain to guard the city was accepted by Wushan.

Because, these thousand soldiers, after the rapid march during the day, are indeed very tired, and just now they have set up camp and searched the whole village, and their physical strength has been exhausted.

After arranging the vigil, he rode to the bonfire where Wushan was located, and asked aloud while fishing for the salted meat in the cauldron.

"Brother Wu, where are you?"

"Qingyang, where is General Bian?"

"I'm from Qinghe County, but my home is not in the city, it's outside the city."

"Out of town? General Bian is not afraid ......"

"Not afraid of demons? Or bandits? Or a strange beast? ”

Wu Shan nodded, and acquiesced in the meaning of the words of the cavalry captain to guard the city.

"My parents, wife and children are dead, so what is there to be afraid of?"

When Wushan heard this, he was shocked, and looked at the cavalry captain guarding the city with some shock, such words came out of the mouth of this big man, and Wushan felt a sense of desolation for some reason.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!"

"Hahaha...... Lao Tzu married another house in the city, and now he has two sons, so I don't need to be sorry! ”

Well, Wushan felt that he was too emotional and too young.

"Brother Wu, don't call me a general, just call me an old man, there are thousands of people under him, and he is not worthy of being called a general!"

The corners of Wu Shan's mouth twitched, and he nodded in agreement.

After being around for a long time, they are no strangers to each other, and Wushan found that he was a more unrestrained and bold person than himself.

Trimming is repairing, but whether it is Wushan, or the border guarding city, or the thousand soldiers in the camp, all of them are saddles that do not leave their horses and armor.

This attitude of not forgetting the danger and being in the deep valley made the group of soldiers in Wushan full of good feelings.

The weird night just passed.

No roosters, no dogs barking.

Wushan was woken up by a burst of meat aroma, some meat porridge had been boiled in the camp, and after Wushan ate a few big bowls, he came together with the cavalry captain Bian Shoucheng.

"Brother Wu, something is wrong!"

"Huh?"

Wu Shan raised his eyebrows, revealing an inquiring look.

"Just now, brother, I sent someone to search again, but I still found nothing."

"And...... And those sleeping villagers, there is no sign of waking up. ”

There's no sign of waking up, and that's the point.

Why didn't the villagers wake up?

What causes it?

How long has this state lasted for the villagers?

Wu Shan frowned, thought for a while, and raised his head and said.

"It took two days for Orion to report that we received the mission."

"The prey is on horseback to report the news, and it takes at least a day to rush from Guimen Village to Qinghe City."

"It took us two days to travel, which means that the villagers have been in this state for at least four days or so."

Speaking of which, Wushan couldn't go on anymore.

Four days!

These ordinary villagers have already entered the line of death, and if they are not awakened, they will definitely die in two days.

"General, we are running out of time, we must find the demons and kill them within these days or two to save these villagers."

Captain Bian Shoucheng nodded, also knowing the seriousness of the matter, he thought about it and said.

"I'll arrange for someone to set up some soul-attracting bells in the village later, and sprinkle some strange beast ashes, and we'll wait for the rabbit in the village tonight."

The soul-attracting bell is a small bell that is blown by the wind and makes a sound that has a great attraction to the yin spirit.

The ashes of the beast can make some yin ghosts show their bodies and show their traces.

Wu Shan nodded, the best way at the moment is to wait for the rabbit.

Although Wushan didn't know if it was their arrival last night that scared away the dirty things.

But obviously, the target of this dirty thing is the villagers of Guimen Village, as long as they stay here in Wushan, they will definitely be able to wait for the dirty thing.

After the arrangements were made, the temporary camp quickly fell silent, and most of the soldiers, except for the soldiers on duty, were asked to continue to rest and accumulate strength for tonight's battle.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Even Wushan himself sorted out the things on his body.

The first is the [Soul Lock Silk] in his arms, this spiritual object is extremely lethal to the Yin ghosts, which is also one of the biggest guarantees for Wushan's trip, and the first thing Wushan pays attention to is it, for fear of losing this thing.

Then there is the spirit weapon spear, which has always been hung on the back of Wushan and never leaves his body for a moment.
