It was a gut feeling, and he wanted to see if he could find something useful, and he wouldn't lose a try anyway.

Xu Bai raised his right hand, a golden compass appeared, he stretched out his finger and pressed it on it, and the true yuan power in his body gushed out, stirring up a gust of wind all around.

The golden compass slowly rotated, shining with dazzling brilliance in mid-air, and then the hands on it suddenly turned madly upside down.

"There's a play!"

He knew very well that such a situation should be a change, something that could be calculated.

Sure enough, the golden hand spun rapidly for a while, then gradually stopped, and then, the hand pointed in a direction, trembling slightly.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked in this direction, where was the backyard of the mansion.

"Go check it out, maybe there's something we want."

Since the Feng Shui Sutra points to this direction, it must have an effect.

Wuhua nodded and hurried towards the location Xu Bai said.

Xu Bai didn't stay, followed behind, and soon walked through the front yard and arrived at the position of the backyard.

The backyard is also very large, after all, this is a big family, and the area alone is already staggering, but unfortunately, due to the fact that there are no people, although it is very large, it is empty, and it is full of a smell of dead silence.

When Xu Bai walked into the backyard with the golden compass, the pointer on the compass changed again, pointing in another direction, Xu Bai did not stop, continued to walk in this direction, and soon came to an old tree.

The tree looks very strong, but the leaves on the branches have fallen off, and although it is still alive, it gives it a drooping old age.

I don't know why, the first time Xu Bai looked at this tree, he felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, and the source of these eyes was this tree.

It's a strange feeling, it's just a tree in front of me, but it's like a living person.

"Did you notice anything wrong? This tree, for example, always gives people the feeling of being alive." Xu Bai asked.

The pointer is pointing to this tree, and this tree must have something to do with it, but the main thing now is the feeling just now, which is very wrong.

Wuhua shook her head when she heard what Xu Bai said, "I don't have any other feelings, I just look like an ordinary tree."

As if to confirm the feeling in his heart, Wuhua circled the tree several times, looking up and down carefully, but found nothing.

Xu Bai looked at Ye Zi again, meaning can you see it.

Ye Zi learned from Xu Bai's appearance, standing next to Xu Bai and looking up and down, but after looking at it for a long time, he still found nothing, shook his head gently, and said softly: "Childe, there is nothing abnormal, this is an ordinary tree, Childe, have you found anything?"

She also couldn't see the situation, in front of her eyes, this tree was very ordinary and normal, and it didn't give Xu Bai what Xu Bai said, giving people a feeling that someone was watching.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said secretly, "It's really a very strange thing."

Obviously, he has this feeling, including now, this feeling has not disappeared, and it also makes his back cold, and he always feels that someone is watching silently, and the gaze is not hidden, staring directly. ….

But why is he the only one who can feel it?

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter, someone is watching, and it's from this tree, so it's good to start from this tree, it's a very simple thing, and you don't need to detour at all.

Xu Bai pulled out the black knife on his waist, and with a gentle wave, countless fragments exploded, encircling the tree.

In just an instant, the towering ancient tree turned into a cloud of debris and disappeared without a trace, and something appeared in the ancient tree.

- Corpses.

In the midst of this withered ancient tree, there was a corpse, covered in scars, dressed in silk and satin, and it looked as if it was still a rich family.

He is about fifty years old, he is a man, and he has the momentum of a superior person between his eyebrows, even if he dies

, that momentum can still reach people's hearts.

"It's ...... The head of the Gao family?" Wuhua quickly reacted, and he took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was a portrait, and the person on the portrait was exactly the same as the male corpse.

Those who do their job will definitely collect intelligence in advance, so it is normal for him to have this information.

After the male corpse appeared, he did not fall to the ground, but stood in place, as if he was alive, except that he did not breathe, it looked like a living person, of course, the scars on that body made people feel shocked.

Wuhua took the portrait in her hand and walked around the male corpse, and finally found a fatal wound on the male corpse's neck.

"There are small wounds all over his body, and the wound on his neck is a fatal wound, it seems that he had a fierce fight with people before he died, otherwise he would have been killed all at once."

"But why is his body hidden in a tree, is there anything strange in this tree?"

"There are other corpses, why aren't there here?"

Wuhua begins to talk to herself, every sentence is the problem, but there is no clue to these questions.

At this time, Ye Zi suddenly spoke.

"Childe, maybe there is a new discovery in the original location under this tree."

"I once saw in an ancient book about this method of hiding people in trees, but the purpose of it was not stated in that book."

"It's just that hiding the body in the tree and burying the body at the bottom of the tree is this method."

Xu Bai heard what Ye Zi said, turned his head to look at the golden compass in his hand, the pointer was still pointing to the position just now, no matter how he changed, the direction of the pointer would not change, that is, in the end, it was still in front of him.

If nothing has changed, then this place is the key.

Looking at the male corpse standing in front of him, Xu Bai raised his foot and kicked it over, the male corpse rolled with a grunt, and soon rolled to the side, maintaining a posture facing the loess.

At this time, Xu Bai saw that there was a hole under the tree, and there was a rancid smell coming out of the hole.

Corpse stench.

The very strong smell of corpses made Xu Bai cover his nose and take a step back.

Although the entrance to the cave is not large, you can see from the outside that there are dense pale corpses lying inside, some of which are rotting, and maggots crawling on it.

"Found it, it turns out that they are all dead, not missing." Wuhua said in astonishment.

Even if you can't see the whole picture, you can see from this cave that these people are wearing the clothes of the family members, plus the entire Gao family is missing, and hundreds of people have disappeared inexplicably, which is easy to associate with each other. ….

"The missing Gao family was buried at the bottom of a tree, and the tree gave me the feeling of being looked at directly."

"What the hell do these guys want to do, is it because the Gao family knows something and kills people?"

"Or rather...... Similar to those demon masters I met before, they want to use human lives to open some kind of passage?"

Xu Bai carefully brushed his thoughts, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Wuhua and said, "Brother Wuhua, it seems that this place has to be dug up."

As he spoke, he took Ye Zi's hand and silently took a few steps back.

You can't see the whole picture from this hole alone, so dig this hole open and see if there are any clues inside.

As for who digs, of course, it is dug without flowers.

This smell smells weird and disgusting, it's not that Xu Bai can't get used to it, but he doesn't smell it when he doesn't need to.

It's like going to the toilet, the toilet stinks enough, but you can still get used to it, but getting used to it and liking it are two different things.

It's impossible for someone to run to the toilet and sniff twice when they're fine, right?

The corners of Wuhua's mouth twitched slightly, but he also knew that he had said it, and it was not easy to refuse.

Originally, Wuhua was an honest man most of the time, and of course, this honest man was also very cunning sometimes.

But at this time, he felt the need to excuse himself.

Of course, no flower will not dig, there is an easier way.

One

Dao Dao brilliance appeared on Wuhua's body, and this light gradually gathered and covered Wuhua's whole body.

This is the wonderful method of Vajra Temple, the Vajra body.

Xu Bai's Vajra Heart Demon Body was still formed from this fusion, and he had seen Wuhua use it before, but it was not as strong as it is now.

The current flowerless gives people a sense of unity, like an impermeable bucket, which looks very resistant.

"Hmm...... I don't know if I can resist my punch." Xu Bai said secretly.

Originally, Wuhua was going to act immediately, but for some reason, he always felt that Xu Bai's eyes were wrong when he looked at him, as if his hands were itchy and he wanted to punch him.

He didn't ink, he raised his right foot and slowly stomped on the ground.

"Boom!"

A dull voice rang out, and the next moment, the ground in front of him cracked inch by inch and collapsed with a bang.

That's when the scene below was revealed.

Hundreds of pale corpses, lying horizontally or reclining, stacked or scattered, in a huge pit.

The pit is centered around the position of the ancient tree in a circle.

If the ancient tree hadn't been destroyed by Xu Bai at the beginning, the ancient tree would have become the brightest cub in this circular pit.

No, to be precise, it's the corpse of the head of the Gao family.

"This ...... Who is so cruel and guilty of sin?" Wuhua clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.

King Kong Temple has always been to subdue demons and eliminate demons as their own responsibility, most of their monks there are full of evil energy, after all, the people who have done this work in these years, more or less will be stained with a little bit, of course, they also often practice Buddhism, so the Buddha nature in the body is stronger, can cover up the evil energy.

There are bodhisattvas with kind eyebrows and good eyes, and there are also vajra with angry eyes.

But in the end, they are still monks, so when they saw the scene in front of them, Wuhua felt compassion.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have even wanted to write a verse that went beyond the bounds. ….

Occupational illness belongs to yes.

Xu Bai didn't feel anything, he was born in this world, and it was normal to walk into this circle and see dead people, even if there were so many dead people.

He took a rough look and found that the corpses were covered with dense scars, and the last scar was the fatal wound on the neck.

"Something is wrong, it can't be because they have a fierce fight." Xu Bai turned his head and said, "There must be a deeper reason."

These wounds were the same as those on the Gao family master's body, the whole body was covered with small scars, and the neck was the last fatal wound, and this combination alone would definitely not be left behind by a fierce fight.

To make a very simple analogy, in the Gao family, the head of the Gao family must be the strongest, there is no doubt about this.

If the other party can beat the Gao family master to death after a fierce battle with the Gao family master, then this person is definitely stronger than the Gao family master.

And such a person who is stronger than the head of the Gao family needs to cause so many scars and fierce fights to kill the rest of the Gao family?

No, not only is it not needed, it can be killed with one hit.

So based on the above thoughts, Xu Bai felt that this person should have deliberately left such a wound.

"Is it a special weapon?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said secretly.

If it is a special weapon that is used to cause such a wound, then all this seems to be well explained.

Of course, this was just a guess on his part.

Xu Bai used Feng Shui to calculate the scriptures again, and the golden compass appeared on his fingers.

This time, he planned to use the corpses in front of him as clues and count them again.

But before he could start the calculation, the next moment, a huge anomaly appeared.

There were hundreds of corpses in the pit underground, but with his movements, these corpses were rapidly turning into ashes.

Not only that, but even the corpse of the head of the Gao family on the ground turned into nothingness at the same time.

"What's going on?"

In front of this special

The situation made Xu Bai frown.

"Childe, look at the bottom of the pit, it seems that something is about to grow." Ye Zi suddenly pointed to the deep pit on the ground and reminded.

Xu Bai turned his gaze and found that the dirt in the deep pit was bulging one by one.

It's like boiling water, densely bubbling with big bags.

There is only one reason for this.

- There's something under the dirt.

"Be careful, see what kind of goods come out?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said.

Everyone nodded and became vigilant.

The next moment, the dirt that had been bulging up one after another suddenly shattered, and small insects flew out of the big bag.

Each worm is only the size of a thumb at most, and what flies out of so many bags is dense and innumerable.

The insect has wings on its back, its whole body is black and shiny, its triangular mouthparts make people feel disgusting, and it also has a strong corpse odor on its body.

"What the hell." Xu Bai swung out a black knife and cracked, and the fragments exploded suddenly, with infinite starlight, shattering the insects in front of him.

These little insects look terrifying, and they look very cautious, especially the sound of vibrating their wings in the ears, which is unusually harsh, but their strength is not very good. ….

The fragments scattered some of the bugs, turning them into ashes, and on the other side, Wuhua raised her hand slightly, and a ray of light shot out, and the rest of the bugs were also wiped out.

However, Wuhua's expression was very serious, and it was obvious that something was evident from these bugs.

Xu Bai saw at a glance that something was wrong with Wuhua, and frowned, "But what did you find?"

Wuhua nodded, her face was serious, and she said in a slightly low tone, "If my guess is correct, these bugs should be from the Gu God Sect."

Gu God Sect?

This name Xu Bai heard for the first time, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, he looked back at Ye Zi, and saw a trace of surprise on Ye Zi's face.

"You've heard that name too?" Xu Bai asked.

As his little expert in royal knowledge, Ye Zi is very sensible, and when Xu Bai asked the first sentence, he already knew what Xu Bai wanted.

Ye Zi told what he knew......

"The Gu God Sect is an extremely evil organization, and the doctrine they believe in is to use people as Gu to raise the next rank of Gu worms in the world."

"One of their characteristics is that wherever they pass, there is no grass, as long as they are human, they will be cruel to their poisonous hands, whether they have a grudge or not, they kill aimlessly."

"After killing someone, he injected Gu worms into the corpse, and raised Gu with corpses, the purpose was to cultivate murderous Gu worms."

"Now it seems that the hundred people of this Gao family have all been used by them as tools for raising Gu."

As he spoke, Ye Zi shook his head, obviously mentioning this so-called Gu God Sect, and he felt that he had touched his head.

Raising Gu?

This thing is very understandable, and there was related content circulating on the Internet in the previous life.

However, using corpses to raise Gu, this was the first time he had heard of it.

"Childe, I'm afraid that the only one who will deal with you here is the Gu God Sect." Ye Zidao.

"Legend has it that the people of the Gu God Sect never associate with others, because in their eyes, except for their so-called Gu God Sect, no one else deserves to be with them."

"If you forcibly join them, I'm afraid you will have already become a tool for them to raise Gu, after all, there have been examples, and there are many of them, almost nine out of ten."

After listening to Ye Zi's explanation, Wuhua also added.

"It is precisely because of this characteristic of theirs that so far, they are basically at the level of being disgusted by gods and ghosts, and they are unwilling to have anything to do with them, whether it is right or evil."

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "If that's the case, it's still much simpler, at least it won't involve more forces, wait, anyone who is with them, as long as it's not from the Gu God Sect, will be reduced to a tool for them to raise Gu?"

he

This gaze looked at the hollow pit, the corpse was long gone, and only a few insect debris remained.

"If anyone who is with them will become a tool for raising Gu, did the Gao family prepare to harm me before?"

As I said just now, this group of Gu God Sect kills people just to raise Gu, and they don't care who the other party is.

And now it's the Gao family's trick, and the others are fine, so it's hard to see that the Gao family is ready to deal with them together.

It seems to make sense to think about it this way. ….

"Whether or not we deal with Xu Shizhu, now we seem to have lost the clue again." Wuhua smiled bitterly.

Everyone has already died, and there is no follow-up result, so it doesn't matter what identity the Gao family plays now.

"No, there's a clue." Xu Bai smiled slightly.

In his hand, the golden compass reappeared, this time, based on the insect debris in the pit.

Now that the Gao family is gone, then there are only the crumbs of this bug left, and maybe they can calculate something.

The golden compass slowly rotates in mid-air, presenting a mysterious and strange feeling.

Gradually, the pointer on it moved, and Xu Bai's eyes glowed, which meant useful.

After a few moments, the pointer's vibration gradually stopped, and then pointed in a direction, as if to tell them that this direction was the source of the clue.

"Let's go, let's see." Xu Bai said.

This Feng Shui Sutra is really a good skill, if it is the same as before, without this skill, he can only go home now to calm the brake, but now he has the initiative.

Everyone did not hesitate to have a clue, and quickly left in the direction pointed by the pointer.

The direction pointed by the pointer was a remote street, and after they got out of the abandoned house, along the way, along the way along the place pointed by the pointer, they went directly out of the range of Lingyun Prefecture.

The road ahead was no longer an official road, but a wilderness, with no one around, and it seemed unusually deserted except for the moonlight.

"Why did they bring us out, could it be that they are hiding here?" Xu Bai said secretly in his heart.

Although he felt very confused in his heart, Feng Shui arithmetic would not deceive, and Xu Bai continued to follow.

After a few more people walked for about a pillar of incense, there was finally an abnormality in front of them.

A small village appeared in front of everyone's eyes, because the sky was too dark, black shrouded around the village, which looked extremely strange.

"The village, it's still a small village, why is it here?" The doubts in Xu Bai's heart became heavier and heavier.

When they walked to the front of the village, they found that because it was already dark, there was no one in the village, and even the lights were not on.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Wuhua asked.

Xu Bai thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

It's all come to this point, and if he doesn't go in and take a look, he will feel very lost.

The crowd raised their guard and entered the small village, which was quiet, except for some cats barking and dogs barking, except for the sound of their footsteps.

Ye Zi suddenly whispered, "Childe, I don't know if you have noticed that there is not even a sound of snoring sleeping here."

The quieter the environment, the more subtle sounds can be heard.

It's just a dilapidated village, the sound insulation of the room is not good, and everyone is a master, but they can't hear the snoring of sleep.

Xu Bai's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he always felt that this place was like a dead place.

But the clean streets told him that someone had cleaned here.

He stood there and thought for a moment, then finally came to a house and knocked softly on the door.

I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to see if there were any people living in this room.

I thought no one would pay attention, but I didn't expect that after he knocked on the door, there was a sound of getting dressed in the room, and then an old voice came from the face. ….

"Who's knocking on the door at night?"

The old man's voice was distant at first, but slow at last

Approaching slowly, but not opening the door, obviously not knowing who is outside the door, will not open rashly.

"Old man." Xu Bai let his tone become gentle: "We are passing merchants, and we got lost due to the reason of traveling at night, can we settle down in the village and rest for a while?"

"Squeak......

Accompanied by Xu Bai's voice, the wooden door made a slight creak, opening from the inside?

At this time, Xu Bai saw the situation behind the door clearly.

Behind the door, an old man with a pale face, on crutches and wearing thin clothes.

"Merchant?" The old man said with a vigilant face: "Don't lie to me, let me tell you, the people in the village are here, as long as I shout, they will come, you merchants don't go to the official post, what are you doing here?"

Xu Bai smiled, took out the silver money from his arms, looked at the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "No way, in order to hurry, after all, some goods have to be delivered in a hurry, I didn't expect that just to hurry, we got lost, and the goods were accidentally dropped halfway, alas, now I just look forward to being able to go back early, not to make money."

After receiving the money, the old man did not let down his vigilance, and still looked Xu Bai up and down, as if to see if Xu Bai was lying.

In terms of acting, Xu Bai is a master, and there is no flaw on the surface.

The old man looked at Ye Zi and Wuhua next to him again, and said suspiciously, "It's normal for you to have a woman by your side, but why is there another monk?"

Ye Zi was veiled, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but it didn't arouse suspicion, but the lack of flowers made the old man feel very confused.

A monk, where is there a monk in the business?

As for the four-rank puppet, they are dressed like people anyway, at least much more ordinary than a monk.

Xu Bai explained, "Alas...... This is my younger brother who is not a talented person, who does not like to study, but loves to worship Buddha, and he happened to go to the temple in our place, so he accompanied me."

No Flower: "......"

Good fellow, this exchange and exchange, he suddenly fell a generation.

When the old man heard Xu Bai speak, he looked at the winning money in his hand, looked around, and finally pointed to a thatched pavilion not far away, and said, "The houses in the village are full, and I will not rush you into the house, you just rest on the pavilion, and early tomorrow morning, I will ask someone to take you to the nearest city."

Xu Bai: "......"

He didn't expect the other party to be so vigilant, but looking at the clearing, he still nodded.

"Squeak......

The door closes, and silence falls.

Xu Bai took Wuhua and walked to the pavilion and found that there were some wooden tables and stools on it.

The pavilion is very rough, made of a few pieces of wood and some thatch.

It should have been built by some villagers themselves, and I don't know what the use of building it is.

Xu Bai sat on a wooden stool and looked at the dark night outside.

Wuhua asked, "Master Xu, what have you discovered?"

"No, what about you?" Xu Bai asked rhetorically.

The old man was normal, there was nothing wrong with him, and his behavior was normal.

Ye Zi shook his head. ….

Wuhua shook her head as well.

Again, they didn't see anything different, on the contrary, they felt very ordinary.

"The more normal it is, the more abnormal it is." Xu Bai said: "My arithmetic will not trick me, wait and see what is different tonight, or tomorrow morning, after those people get up, we will see the situation."

Everyone nodded, and that was the only way to do it.

Xu Bai raised his right hand again, and the golden compass appeared, and after the pointer entered this village, it kept swinging everywhere, sometimes up and sometimes down, sometimes left and sometimes right.

Of course, Xu Bai can understand this situation, which means telling him that the entire village is his goal.

Now that you're here, let's see what's going on here.

Xu Bai calmly took out the method of the heavy sword and continued to raise the progress bar.

The night is long, and the bright moon is the companion.

It was almost late autumn now, and the temperature at night had dropped suddenly, but fortunately they were unusual people, and the temperature had no effect on them.

Under the moonlight, as the night deepened, even the cats and dogs gradually stopped.

Several people were doing their own things, and they didn't bother each other.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the bright moon in the sky is fading into the clouds.

At this time, Xu Bai's ears suddenly moved and he looked in one direction.

Just now his soul felt that there was someone in that place.

As Xu Bai looked over, at the end of the street in the distance, a figure flashed.

"Let's go!" Xu Bai put the book in the package and walked towards the location.

The figure was not fast, and everyone was following carefully.

Gradually, Xu Bai saw the appearance of the figure clearly.

It was a man dressed as an ordinary villager, not very old, about thirty years old, dressed in tattered cloth clothes at the moment, and was cautiously looking around, as if he was afraid of causing a disturbance.

Xu Bai and the others followed while being vigilant about the surrounding situation.

At this moment, a melodious voice suddenly came out.

The sound was not music, it was like the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, rustling.

Originally, in this kind of wilderness, the sound of the wind blowing through the woods is normal.

But with this voice, Xu Bai saw the villager in front of him, and suddenly his body stiffened.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

A strange laugh erupted from the villagers' mouths.

The villagers' steps stiffened, and they walked forward step by step.

"That voice is not right, it can affect people's spirits, but it is weak." Xu Bai said.

"I've heard that the Gu God Sect has a kind of Gu that is able to influence others through special syllables." Ye Zidao.

Xu Bai nodded: "In short, be careful yourself, and be decisive when there is any abnormality."

Ahead, the villager was still walking, and after about half a column of incense, he finally stopped.

Where the villagers stayed was a huge tree, with its leafy branches swaying gently, and it was clear that the sound just now was probably from this tree.

"I'm here, beauty, I'm here, come out quickly, I can't wait." The villagers' voices were eager, but their movements were stiff, creating a strong contrast.

At this time, the huge tree appeared abnormal.

In the center of the trunk, a crack suddenly appeared, and soon, a pale, corpse-strewn arm stretched out of the crack.

The arm was as white as paper, and dense corpse spots appeared on the arm, which looked extremely terrifying.

With the appearance of this arm, a naked female corpse emerged from it.

The woman's body was covered with corpse spots, and in some places it had begun to decompose.

The most important thing is that the eyes of this female corpse do not have eyeballs, but two large empty holes, which look full of despair.

In the big hole, there were two strange Gu worms, standing in it, vibrating their wings and making a rattling sound.

Obviously, the sound that could affect the divine soul just now was emitted by these two Gu worms.

"Jingle Bell ......"

At this moment, on top of this giant tree, a crisp bell rang.

The ringtone is crisp and sounds good.

Xu Bai raised his head, looked in the direction of the bell, and saw a woman standing on a dense branch.......

Love to sleep lazy
