Chapter 57: The Truth
86_86863 Leaving Li Ergou's house, Jiang Chen asked the village chief, "What about the bodies of the two dead villagers?"
The village chief said, "It's been burned." β
"Why don't you burn it, and besides, why are you in such a hurry to burn it?" Jiang Chen felt that this village chief was very suspicious, from beginning to end, he didn't seem to want to spread the matter, and judging from the previous actions of the villagers, Ranshi Village was obviously the village chief's word.
The village chief explained: "The mass grave is very inauspicious, the two of them died there, they may be entangled in dirty things, the older generation in the village said that if they are not burned, they may be cheated on the corpse, I thought twice, for the sake of the safety of the villagers, I can only order them to be burned to avoid unforeseen things." β
"That's a good reason. β
Jiang Chen scoffed.
"Jiang Shaoxia, how dare I lie to you, it won't do me any good to lie to you, Jiang Shaoxia rest assured, since you are here, I will fully cooperate with you. The village chief said sincerely.
"Hopefully you can do it. β
Jiang Chen didn't expect the other party to cooperate with him, he would do his best to find out the truth of the matter.
After lunch, Jiang Chen asked the village chief to take him to the mass grave.
The mass grave was on the hillside five miles away, and in the distance, Jiang Chen saw a purple ocean, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that these were small purple flowers, swaying in the wind.
Among the small purple flowers, there are many graves, some new and some old, which look mixed and varied.
"What kind of flower is this. β
Coming to the mass grave, Jiang Chen bent down and picked a small purple flower and asked.
"Jiang Shaoxia, I can't touch it, this is an inauspicious flower, it has grown here a long time ago, and no one knows what its name is. Seeing Jiang Chen pick a small purple flower, the village chief hurriedly reminded.
"It's okay, it's just a flower, what's auspicious or not. Jiang Chen didn't care, and looked at the entire mass grave.
The mass grave covered by small purple flowers looked very poignant, a gust of wind blew, Jiang Chen seemed to hear whispering, listened carefully, and there was no more, I don't know if it was his illusion, he felt that these small purple flowers seemed to have consciousness, and a few of them shook strangely when he left his sight.
It was getting dark, and the mass graves became quieter and quieter.
"Jiang Shaoxia, let's leave first! Come back tomorrow. β
The village chief said.
"Good. β
Jiang Chen nodded.
The village chief didn't seem to expect Jiang Chen to be so easy to speak, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Back in Ranshi Village, it was already dark, and in the village chief's house, the village chief's granddaughter Acui had already cooked a meal and was waiting there.
In the dead of night, a figure swept over the village and rushed to a hill near the mass grave.
Instinct told sΓΉ Jiang Chen, maybe something could be found in the small spirit stone vein.
Soon, the hill was vivid.
After years of mining, the hill has long been riddled with holes, and there are many mines at the foot of the mountain, and the mines are pitch black, like the big mouth of a giant beast, unfathomable.
Cautiously, Jiang Chen entered the mine.
The mine extends in all directions, and it is easy for employees who have not mined here to get lost in it, but this is difficult for Jiang Chen, who has a strong mental power, he remembers each passage clearly, and it is like a constantly improving mine map in his mind.
It took half an hour for Jiang Chen to go through all the passages and find nothing abnormal.
"That's not right!"
Jiang Chen felt that he was missing something.
"Look at it again. β
When he said it, this time, Jiang Chen spent a whole hour walking all over again.
However, nothing was found.
"Could it be that I'm too sensitive? β
Jiang Chen became suspicious of himself.
Squeak squeak......
Jiang Chen, who was about to leave, suddenly paused, and on the wall of the mine cave on the side, the soil and stones were loose, and a fat big mouse came out, and when he saw Jiang Chen, he quickly shrank in.
"I see. β
Jiang Chen knew it in his chest.
An hour and a half later, Jiang Chen found a hidden passage in the depths of the mine, the entrance of this passage was sealed, no matter how keen his observation was, it was difficult to find clues, but Jiang Chen was different from ordinary people, with a heart, his spiritual power could completely scan out abnormal places.
Entering the secret passage, Jiang Chen's speed slowed down and walked step by step.
After about a moment, the passage became wider and higher, Jiang Chen came to a mine cave that he had never seen before, the mining traces in the mine were very fresh, there had obviously been mining recently, walking and walking, Jiang Chen's breathing became slightly short, the walls of the mine cave were covered with a large number of round stones, and a trace of vitality escaped from these stones, which made people feel shocked.
Inferior spirit stones, a large number of inferior spirit stones.
"The wealth is moving, it seems that this new mine cave is not known to outsiders, even the One Qi Sect does not know, the planner wants to swallow this spirit stone alone. β
Jiang Chen had no idea how many inferior spirit stones there were in a mine, but he estimated that there should be tens of millions, not to mention, there must be low-grade spirit stones in the depths, although it can't be too many, but as long as there are tens of thousands, it is also a windfall.
Of course, it is impossible for Jiang Chen to know the specific amount, no one knows, only after the mining is completed.
Following the passage, Jiang Chen went all the way, and after walking for a few miles, the passage was gone, and there was a metal cover on it.
Rumble!
With a punch, the metal lid rose into the sky, and the next moment, Jiang Chen's figure flashed and swept out.
"Here?"
Jiang Chen looked stunned.
When he reached the surface, he found that the mine was connected to a mass grave.
In a flash of light, Jiang Chen understood many things.
"Jiang Shaoxia, what's the trouble?"
A leisurely voice came.
"The village chief. β
Jiang Chen stayed where he was.
"You could have left in peace, so why bother to suffer for yourself. The figure of the village chief appeared from the night, and he lowered his eyes and sighed.
"You killed those two villagers?" Jiang Chen asked.
"They know things they shouldn't know. β
"Li Ergou also went crazy with you?"
"This kid almost ruined our big thing. β
"We?"
"Jiang Shaoxia, curiosity kills people, your curiosity has put you in crisis, why do you still have curiosity now?"
"I just want to know the cause and effect. β
"I'm sorry, I can't sue you, because dead people don't need to know the answer. β
The village chief raised his eyes, his eyes were very cold, where was it still like the village chief of a village, but like an evil ghost, at the same time, a powerful aura burst out from his body, rolling up patches of small purple flowers, flying all over the sky.
The Vajra Realm is triple cultivated.
"Hehe, village chief, do you remember that when I came to Ranshi Village, I asked you what kind of cultivation you were. Jiang Chen took a long time to say.
"It turns out that you already knew that I was hiding my cultivation. β
"Yes, your clever way of concealing it cannot hide it from my eyes. β
"You know. β
The village chief continued.
"Without three or three, how dare I take this risk, since I choose to take the risk, it means that I am not afraid of you, the triple martial artist of the Vajra Realm. β
Hearing this, the village chief's expression remained unchanged, and he said strangely: "Jiang Shaoxia, do you think this little purple flower is beautiful?"
As the village chief's words fell, the small purple flowers turned into white bones, and some of the skulls were put together and whispered, as if they were saying something vicious.
Suddenly, the earth cracked, a tattered coffin came up, scratched, the coffin lid was automatically removed, a pale-faced female corpse suddenly stood up, the female corpse opened her eyes, what kind of eyes are this, pitch black without whites, full of viciousness, curses, and evil thoughts, ordinary people will have a nervous breakdown at a glance, and they will be scared to death.
"Huh!"
Jiang Chen laughed, "Miss Acui, don't fiddle with these little tricks in front of me, I'm not a villager of your Ranshi Village." β
