Outside Huaiyang Village, three miles away is Yizhuang, since the appearance of the Heavenly Enchantment before yesterday, the dark sky has never been out of the sun, and the sky has always been shrouded in a haze.

In Yizhuang, the coffins are horizontal, gloomy, there is a pile of candles by the door that has been solidified after burning, a stack of stones is pressed by paper money, and the incense ashes scattered next to it are all used to pay tribute to the lonely souls and wild ghosts who died in vain.

Although the Great Xia Kingdom did not advocate strange forces and gods, but only for officials, Zhu Jiuqin did not restrict ordinary people from worshiping ghosts and gods.

Probably Zhu Jiuqin also knows that ghosts and gods are the sustenance of human beings for hope and the catharsis of fear, and for the feudal dynasty with backward living conditions, this kind of sustenance on reincarnation is more important, and a blanket prohibition will not only not be beneficial, but will cause social turmoil.

After all, if everyone knows that there is no so-called reincarnation, no matter how hard they work in this life, they can only be cattle and horses, and there are not a few ruthless people who will rise up in a vain attempt to overthrow the imperial court.

But if there is such a sustenance as reincarnation, even if someone wants to rebel, they may become a powerful person when they think of the next life, and they will endure it under self-deception.

Thinking of this, Su Lin admired Zhu Jiuqin more and more, for Zhu Jiuqin, his contribution to Great Xia has surpassed that of any generation of kings in history, and even the kings of previous dynasties tied together are not enough for him to fight.

He can completely adopt a policy of fooling the people, use the mandate of heaven to strengthen the royal power, and use his will far beyond the times to lead the development of the country in a dictatorial way.

However, he still chose the path of Kaiminzhi.

That man, not for one lifetime, but for eternity, this kind of consciousness is not so much that he is a traverser, but that he is a sage himself, and for him, the crossing may just be a coincidental opportunity.

Su Lin crossed the threshold of Yizhuang, and the moment he walked into Yizhuang, he felt that he had crossed a special boundary.

The Yizhuang was filled with dust, the air was filled with the smell of decay and dampness, and the white flags that had been placed for many years stood by the wall, and a gust of wind blew, and the spirit flags shook more than once.

Su Lin casually opened a coffin beside him, a dizzying rancid smell came to his face, Su Lin glanced inside the coffin, and closed the lid.

He opened the surrounding coffins one by one to check, most of the corpses here have decomposed, and some have even turned into white bones in the coffins, which shows that the people guarding this Yizhuang have no intention of burying these lonely souls and wild ghosts.

Su Lin felt that he had found the right place, if it weren't for the evil cultivator, no matter how lazy the village keeper was, it would be impossible for him to be so presumptuous.

However, after inspecting all the coffins, Su Lin found that these bodies were either severely decomposed, or had turned into white bones, and it was impossible for the Taoist priest to use these corpses.

If that evil cultivator really had the ability to control the white bones and rotting corpses, there was no need to keep Luo Huainan and those severed limbs fresh.

"In other words, there should be a secret room here."

Su Lin looked around, constantly tapping and tapping nearby.

Su Lin's gaze inadvertently fell on the dusty ground, and a string of fine footprints came into view.

Su Lin squatted down and saw that this was the fox's footprints, and he followed the footprints through Yizhuang to the woods behind Yizhuang, where the fox's footprints were also cut off, and a thatched house stood at the edge of the woods.

The fox lay in the doorway of the thatched hut, with a faint stench of rancidity, apparently dead for a long time.

And next to it there is a shallow wet mark that extends all the way into the house.

"Looks like this is it."

Su Lin walked into the thatched hut and brushed the dirt off the ground with his sleeve, and two hidden secret doors appeared in front of him.

He inserted the long knife he carried into the gap of the secret door, and relied on his skill to pry up one of them, behind the secret door, a deep tunnel extended all the way to the ground, and gusts of yin wind blew from the deep underground, making Su Lin shiver.

"There is actually such a secret room underground, it seems that that guy has lived in this Yizhuang for many years."

Su Lin lit the fire fold and touched the cold rock wall all the way down.

He didn't know how deep he had walked, but at last he heard a sound other than his own footsteps, which seemed to be the sound of chains dragging on the rocky ground, and the steps under his feet finally turned flat.

There was a sticky touch on the soles of his shoes, and the floor was covered with translucent red slime.

"Help me! Young man, save us! ”

"Finally someone came, I thought I was going to be locked up for the rest of my life!."

Women's voices of all kinds came from all directions.

Through the glimmer of the fire fold, Su Lin saw a woman with a mutilated limb, and as he lit the oil lamp on the wall, the huge underground space was completely presented in front of him.

The space here is huge, the layout resembles a dungeon, not to mention dozens of women are imprisoned here, all of them have their bodies mutilated, some have no lower body, some have no arms, and are chained around the iron pillars that one person holds.

"The demon has just left! But he'll be back soon, so take us away! ”

"Shaoxia, the demon will be back soon, please go and inform the government quickly."

"The old monster will be back soon, and he's going to change his body now."

The women said to Su Lin urgently.

Su Lin didn't say anything, his eyes swept quietly on the ground, and the floor of the entire cell was covered with the same slime as before.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping over the group of women one by one.

In the end, Su Lin's eyes fell on one of the women who had broken a thigh, she had sound limbs except for her thigh, but her left hand always hid a blind spot in the perspective that Su Lin couldn't see.

And her body has been trembling since just now, and it seems that she is enduring unimaginable severe pain.

"Take your left hand out." Su Lin raised his knife and aimed it at the woman.

"Shaoxia, you, what are you doing here?"

"Take it out!" Su Lin roared angrily.

"Shaoxia, I, my hand is broken."

The woman took out her left hand, and her wrist twisted and twisted like a twist, and the blood that flowed from the wound was normal human blood, although dull in color, it was not in the form of a paste.

"I see, I seem to understand." Su Lin said.

"Shaoxia, what are you talking about? I don't really understand. The woman said.

Another woman who had lost her legs said anxiously: "That demon will come back soon, people like me will only become a burden, I just ask you to tell my brother that all the money I have accumulated over the years is placed in the place where we grew up playing, so that he doesn't have to look for me anymore!" My brother's name is Liu Ahu, and he lives in Xiqiu Village! ”

Su Lin casually threw out a knife and slashed the opponent's arm, the wound penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the woman let out a terrible scream and covered the wound with her other hand.

The other women around screamed, some of whom seemed to be in their unclear minds, screaming and shouting words of unknown meaning.

Among them, there was a calmer woman who mustered up the courage to ask: "Shaoxia, you, what are you doing!" ”

Su Lin didn't say anything, turned around and swung the blade at the other person next to him, the woman let out a scream, her body dodged in a panic, and her right hand, which was handcuffed by iron chains, took the initiative to reach out to Su Lin's blade, as if she wanted Su Lin to cut off her palm.

At the moment when the long knife was about to cut off the opponent's wrist, Su Lin instantly retracted the knife.

He turned to look at the woman, an icy smile on his face.

"Found you."
