Lou Jinchen came out of the Taoist temple, not one person, not two, but three.

Deng Ding also wanted to go, Lou Jinchen thought about it, and felt that experiencing some things might make them grow their minds and be beneficial to their cultivation, so they took him with him, and the viewer did not object.

And Shang Gui Anben also wanted to go, mainly because he wanted to go back to Swimming City, but Lou Jinchen felt that the Guan Zhu was here alone, and he needed someone to take care of him, although the Guan Zhu didn't need it, but how could he be a disciple and run down the mountain to play.

Shang Gui'an stayed, but when Shang Gui'an was packing up his things in Lou Jinchen, he took the opportunity to come to his room and whispered, "Senior brother, if you can, can you help me go to the house to have a look?" Let's see if my father is back. ”

So much time has passed, and the last time I knew that his father had gone to another county to deal with things, I don't know if it was dealt with, because there was no news from his family for a long time, and Deng Ding's family would send things every once in a while, not only for Deng Ding, but also for other people in the view, which made Shang Gui Anxin very uncomfortable, and he was very envious.

He has lost a lot of weight recently, and although his face is still round, there really isn't much flesh on his body.

To be honest, Lou Jinchen was still more worried about him.

The three of them got out of the Fire Spirit Temple, went down the hillside, and headed all the way towards the Water City.

The catcher is also very young, maybe even seventeen or eighteen years old, the catcher on his body is brand new, with a waist knife pinned to his waist, but his body looks very strong, and his waist is slightly bowed, just like an ape moving forward, his eyes are shining, and his steps are very big.

"Brother He Fang, did you encounter any case, my father asked you to come to the Fire Spirit Temple to invite Master?"

Deng Ding has been a head catcher in his family for many years, and Deng Ding is also very familiar with catching fast.

"Do you remember the dart master who came out of Matoupo before?" He asked.

"What happened to that dart master?" Deng Ding asked in surprise.

"The people in one of his villages have disappeared." He Fang said.

"A village? How can they all disappear? "Deng Ding, as a child of a head-hunting family, knows that this must be a big case.

"The headcatcher guesses it has something to do with the dart master." He Fang said.

Lou Jinchen actually had doubts for a long time, so many people died when they went in, why the dart master was able to escape.

What I heard at that time was that the person happened to be rescued by Mr. Lu Da, because everyone didn't understand the situation in Matoupoli at that time, and thought that Mr. Lu Da had sealed that village, so it was normal for Mr. Lu Da to be able to send someone out.

But Lou Jinchen, who had entered there, knew that those people couldn't resist the growth of the eyes in their bodies, and it was useless to escape, and they might even say that those who escaped came out with 'eyes'.

"Has anyone seen this man since he came out of Matoupo?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"I don't know." He Fang took the opportunity to answer and looked at this person who had recently become famous, he was a little curious, after all, there was not much difference in age, but he had done a few great things. In Matoupo, he was the only one who participated but came back intact, and those few people who had been famous in the city for decades were all folded in it.

The head catcher also confessed that if the Fire Spirit Viewer couldn't come, he must invite this corridor chief.

Lou Jinchen was wearing a black-shirted samurai robe, the cuffs and neckline were tightly tied, and his hair was just when he couldn't tie it all up but always blocked his eyes, which made him think about whether to keep it or cut it short, and leaving an inch of hair was what he liked.

He himself is taller, and the sword in his hand is custom-made by him, which is longer than the sword of ordinary people, and it looks thin, but tough and heavier.

In the past, although he practiced the sword for many years, it was difficult to change the temperament of a scholar, after all, he also read and memorized poems for many years, and now several times of life and death, the spiritual transformation and sublimation, the whole person in the body of the sword and the characteristics formed by reading, it will be condensed into a strand, and when the world is polished, it has already given birth to a glowing rhyme, and the whole person is bright.

"But somebody has visited the village." Deng Ding asked.

"Yes, Duyan Village is empty, but there are strange eyes painted on the doors, windows and bedside of many places." He Fang said.

Deng Ding asked some more information, such as how many people are going to the village to investigate now, whether his father Deng Zhutou is also there, and who else has been invited in addition to his senior brother, etc., these are not only because he wants to show that he is familiar with the process of investigating these strange cases, but also to let Lou Jinchen know more about the situation.

The head catcher was still organizing people to investigate together, so the three of them went directly to the Deng Mansion, while He Fang went to the Yamen.

Returning to Deng's mansion, Deng Ding and his mother were naturally close, but Mrs. Deng was a virtuous and polite person, and she would never snub Lou Jinchen, and knew that Lou Jinchen had been recognized as a senior brother, and even warned Deng Ding to respect Lou Jinchen.

After having lunch in Deng's Mansion, He Fang came again and said that the head catcher went to Xukeng Village first.

The name of the village is a pit, naturally because its terrain resembles a pit, and the people in it are all surnamed Xu. Deng Ding still shouted that he wanted to go, but Mrs. Deng didn't allow it, and in the end, in Mrs. Deng's gentle eyes, he could only stay at home.

Lou Jinchen followed He Fang, each with a horse, and brought the dry food prepared by the Deng Mansion, and then went all the way to Xukeng Village.

"What's the name of that dart master?" Lou Jinchen remembered that he didn't know his name and surname.

"The dart master's name is Xu Xin, and it is said that he and Du Desheng of Dujiazhuang are a couple." He Fang said.

"Couples? Is this Xu Xin a woman? Lou Jinchen asked in surprise.

"Yes, they are all children of the rivers and lakes, and they don't care about their names, not to mention that Xukeng women don't marry outside, so the two have never married." He Fang said.

Lou Jinchen didn't want to know about Du Desheng's private affairs that caused a big disaster, but this Xu Xin and this Xukeng Village seemed to have a lot to say.

"Why don't the people and women of Xukeng Village marry outside?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"I heard that because of the gods that I believe, Xukeng Village has always been closed and rarely communicates with outsiders, and no one can tell what gods are believed in, and it is said that this is the big secret of Xukeng Village." He Fang said.

Lou Jinchen thought about it before he read the book, which said: "Those who sacrifice to the gods often die from the gods they sacrifice." ”

"This Xukeng Village is in a remote place, who found that the people in the village disappeared? Can anyone make a report? Lou Jinchen asked.

"It was a cargo who went to Xukeng Village at a set time every month, and only after he went there did that he found that there was no one, so he came to the county government to report to the official." He Fang sat on the back of the horse, the horse did not run, the two chatted, and did not rush to the road.

"What kind of charter does the government have for Xukeng Village?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"The county magistrate has an order to find out whether this Xukeng Village is infected with the 'treacherous plague', if there is, try to drive it away, if it is difficult to do, it will be banned, and a warning will be erected, so as not to let people approach." He Fang didn't have anything to hide from Lou Jinchen, this also needs to be concealed, in He Fang's heart, the Fire Spirit Concept is already a big faction in the Swimming Water Realm, although there are only a few people to talk about, but the people among them are highly capable.

Not to mention the fire spirit master, mysterious, it is said that it is a character that the government has to recruit, but he chose the purity of the swimming water city, and this building is called a swordsman who kills immortals, and the word "slashing immortals" comes from the previous battle of breaking the yellow immortals in the mountains.

Lou Jinchen listened to his words, grasped the key point in an instant, and asked, "What is the 'Mysterious Plague'?" ”

"The plague refers to the fact that some gods have descended on the place, and it is difficult to get rid of the strange, and they can spread like a plague." He Fang said very carefully: "This is a new title of the national teacher in the Di Bao, and the Taoist chief has naturally never heard of it." ”

Lou Jinchen heard it for the first time, but he felt that this description was very accurate, and it was the first time he had heard the name 'National Teacher'.

Of course, this name was too far away from him, and he didn't ask too much for fear of causing others to doubt him.

In such a world where even the so-called gods will come, let people know that he is not from this world, then I am afraid there will not be a good result.

"It seems that we just need to find out what is going on." Lou Jinchen said.

"yes, hopefully everything goes well." He Fang said.

"Is there a lot of such things?" Lou Jinchen asked again.

"It's not very common, otherwise, I'm afraid that we would have already died, and I wouldn't be able to take over this position from my father." He Fang said.

Only then did Lou Jinchen know that not only was the position of the head catcher of the Deng Mansion handed down, but this catch could also be passed down from family to family.

But it's not incomprehensible to think about it, after all, catching fast is also a professional profession, just like this, there must be a good martial arts, and there are many skills in the face of weirdness, these are the skills of a family that is passed on to men and not women.

"Let's hurry up, lest Deng Zhutou wait for us." Lou Jinchen said.

The two of them stepped off their horses and ran.

The main road was flat and spacious, but then it was a fork in the road, a dirt road that could only cross ox carts, full of potholes, and occasionally water could be seen inside.

The speed of the horse's gallop slowed down immediately, and occasionally a few people could be encountered carrying goods in the direction of the city, or someone pushing a wheelbarrow back from the city. On both sides of the road there were people working in the fields, old people, children, young people, and women, hoeing weeds or sowing seeds.

Looking closely at the things planted in the field, some of them looked like rice, but the leaves and stems of these rice were golden.

Seeing Lou Jinchen's look, He Fang said with a smile: "The specialty of our Swimming Water City is a thousand golden millet, which can refine Bigu Dan, and the annual tax is these Bigu Dan, and those big men in the court have to eat our Bigu Dan here every year." ”

Listening to his words, he is still quite proud of this matter.

Lou Jinchen was also quite surprised, for Bigu Dan, many people may think it is dispensable, but some people must think it is an excellent thing, because if you eat this, you don't need to eat, and if you don't eat, you don't need to, then the whole person is 'fairy', especially some girls and fairies, so good-looking, but thinking that they may be sweating profusely in a toilet without air conditioning on a hot day, it is not so fairy.

Of course, these are all in the past, and Lou Jinchen feels that this is very suitable for the viewer.

After another two sticks of incense or so, the two turned onto a fork in the road, and the road suddenly became narrow, half of the road was occupied by weeds, and there was no farmland on both sides, but became a barren mountain.

Lou Jinchen looked closely at the traces on the ground, and could see that someone walked by on the ground, it should be Deng Zhutou's person.

After another stick of incense, Lou Jinchen knew that he had arrived.

Because he saw a newly built camp, it seems that Deng Zhutou and they have already prepared, after all, after eating at noon, they set off after such a long way, and they must spend the night here today.

Lou Jinchen looked at the front of the camp again, there was a village, the village was definitely not really in the pit, it was said to be a pit, it was like a pit compared to the surrounding mountains.

The village of Xukeng stood there quietly, the silence was terrifying, and even the camp seemed to be infected with silence.

"Slow down, don't get too close." Lou Jinchen said.

He Fang immediately reined in the horse's head, he also seemed to be a cautious person, perhaps because of his family education that made him know that danger was everywhere.

"It's too quiet in the camp, even if they arrive before us, they can't all enter the village of Xukeng at once, and they will definitely leave people outside, but now there is no one." Lou Jinchen said.

After listening to this, He Fang pondered for a moment, took out a whistle from his arms, and said: "This is my family heirloom bone whistle, which is made of the leg bones of the night owl, and the sound is sharp, a little magical, maybe you can try it." ”

In such a weird and quiet place, it is a dangerous thing to make a loud noise, so He explained to Lou Jinchen, and at the same time let him make up his mind, after all, Lou Jinchen has a reputation in this area, and he will naturally become someone else's reliance.

"Give it a try." Lou Jinchen said.

He Fang blew the bone whistle, and a sharp wave pierced the silence like a sword, making this void ripple a little, Lou Jinchen only felt that he felt like he had been stabbed, and the whole person was a lot more vigilant, he believed that if Deng Zhutou and them entered the village, they would definitely be able to hear it.

The village was quiet, there wasn't even a single bird in the surrounding mountains, and Lou Jinchen didn't even hear the insects.

Only the echo of the whistle appeared, and Lou Jinchen's brows furrowed.

After a while, no one showed up in the village, and no one in the camp showed up.

Lou Jinchen looked at He Fang, only to see a look of horror on He Fang's face, obviously, he had already retreated.

"We have to go into the camp to see, it's impossible for Deng Zhutou and his group to disappear quietly." Lou Jinchen said.

After all, He Fang didn't dare to abandon his superiors and flee, and when he saw Lou Jinchen taking the lead towards the camp, he also followed.

As he got closer, he saw that the camp had apparently just been set up, and that the wooden stakes were all new, as if all of a sudden, everyone had disappeared together, and even the cattle were gone.

At this moment, he looked up at the sun, and then closed his eyes, the red sun seemed to imprint directly into his heart through his eyelids, he took advantage of the situation to visualize the sun burning in his eyes, and then opened his eyes, everything in front of him burned like a painting in his eyes, and the burning circle of light spread to the sky, connecting with the sun's brilliance.

The still-painted world that burned out of the hole appeared in his eyes, and a voice appeared in his ears.

It was a bustling camp, some cutting wood and driving stakes, some moving things from their horses, and others looking out over the village.

Deng Zhutou is among them.

Where is Lou Jinchen's side, dumbfounded, just at that moment, he seemed to see the void burning, boiling open from a hole, revealing another world under the void, he didn't know where it was real.

Of course he didn't know, Lou Jinchen visualized the sun in his eyes, but he could break the illusion, when he was in Matoupo before, he visualized the moon in his eyes, and he also broke the illusion, but it was a little different from this time.

At that time, he was able to keep himself from being deceived by the illusion realm, and now he has directly broken this illusion.
