Jincheng County County Ya, the county magistrate looked at the head catcher in front of him with a headache, "What's wrong, do you have clues?" ”

The first head catcher in Jincheng County, Zhao Sheng shook his head helplessly, "Lord County Order, this matter is extremely strange, with the strength of our Jincheng County, there is no way to solve this big case, we can only let the above deal with it." ”

Although he is a three-rank martial artist, when he sees the stone carvings in Wangjia Village one after another, he can't help but feel a touch of fear in his heart, which is the fear of the unknown and mystery.

"That's the only way, the official has already reported, it is estimated that someone will deal with it in the next two days, you take people to guard near Wangjia Village, and no one is allowed to destroy the scene!"

The prefectural commander spoke.

Zhao Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Leaving from the county office, Zhao Sheng led people to the outside of the city, and soon, he came to the vicinity of Wangjiazhuang, several villages around, and learned about Wangjiazhuang, many people moved away overnight, for fear of going to the same fate as Wangjiazhuang.

In the vicinity of Zhuangzi, there has been a large number of officials to block Wangjiazhuang, at the entrance of the village, there are some women are crying, those are the people of the village who married out, at this time, knowing the situation of Wangjiazhuang, crying to death.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's arrival, this group of people stepped forward one after another, crying and opening, "Zhao Zhutou, you have to be the master for us, our parents, brothers, and sisters are all in the village, and now, they are all gone, woo, how can we live......"

"I beg Zhao Zhutou to call the shots for us and find the murderer......"

"If we don't take revenge, we will be the son of man in vain!"

A crowd of people was excited.

Zhao Sheng had a great headache, but he couldn't dispel it violently, so he could only say in a deep voice, "Fellow villagers, don't worry, the government will definitely give you an explanation, and it will definitely not let everyone's relatives die in vain......"

It took him a lot of words to reluctantly pacify him, and he walked towards the village.

For the sake of insurance, he didn't even dare to let the officials enter the village to guard, so he had to come by himself.

Walking on the road in the village and feeling the strange silence of the village, Zhao Shengrao is a three-grade Shenqiao martial artist, and he also has goosebumps on his body.

He didn't even dare to enter the courtyards of these villages, for fear of being attacked by some strange thing.

Suddenly, Zhao Sheng's face changed, and he saw that not far away, a figure suddenly appeared without any warning.

The figure walked towards him, and in two steps, it was in front of him.

"Who!"

Zhao Sheng's face was serious, and the long knife on his waist was instantly unsheathed, and he snorted coldly.

"This official was ordered to come to investigate the case, you are the head catcher of Jincheng County."

Qi Zixiao looked at the other party, opened his mouth indifferently, and said, taking out his blue-clothed head-catching token.

To these people, the existence of the Night's Watch is still a secret, far less useful than the blue-clad headcatcher's token.

After taking the token, Zhao Sheng's face changed, he had naturally seen the blue-clothed head-catching token, so he could understand that this was not a forgery, in the territory of Daqi, forging official tokens was a capital crime.

"It turned out to be Qi Catcher, his subordinates were rude, I didn't expect the county government to arrange for the blue-clothed catcher to come to investigate the matter, Qi Catcher came out, I believe this case will be solved soon."

Zhao Sheng respectfully sent the token back, and said with a humble face, the blue-clothed head catcher, only the master of the four grades can serve as it, it can be said that even if it is not a four-rank cultivation, at least there is a four-rank combat power.

Therefore, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Qi Zixiao withdrew his token, glanced around indifferently, and strode towards a courtyard, behind him, Zhao Sheng hurriedly followed, he also wanted to see how this adult from the county government should deal with this case.

Push open the door and enter the yard, everything is in order, and in the yard, there are still a few chickens foraging on the ground.

Qi Zixiao opened the door, entered the room, turned his head slightly, and looked at the bed, where three humanoid stone sculptures of two large and one small came into view.

From the clothes, to the hair, and even to the expression, it is all lifelike.

Qi Zixiao took a step forward, without the slightest fear, stretched out a hand and put it on the stone carving on the bed.

It's cold to the end, with a stony roughness.

A wisp of true qi emerged from Qi Zixiao's fingertips, and suddenly slashed across the arm of a stone carving, and the next moment, a trace of red blood appeared from the stone carving.

"Are they still alive?"

Behind him, Zhao Sheng opened his mouth in shock.

Qi Zixiao's eyes were calm, and he said softly, "It's alive, but it's no different from dead, the skin and muscles have been petrified, and the blood and internal organs have not been petrified." ”

"It seems that these villagers must have been attacked in their sleep, and the things that attacked them were very strange, and these villagers did not react."

In a short period of time, he analyzed a lot of information.

"Is there any way to get them back?"

A flash of hope flashed in Zhao Sheng's eyes, and he hurriedly asked.

The cost of a village being wiped out is too great.

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao groaned, "I can try, but I'm not sure, if it doesn't work, then I can only find the source, as long as the source is solved, then all this can be changed." ”

As he spoke, his gaze froze, and a flash of crimson light appeared, enveloping the entire courtyard.

The spiritual realm appeared, and Qi Zixiao tried to change reality.

As the spiritual power covered the humanoid stone sculptures in front of them, it could be seen that their bodies were trembling, and a layer of stone chips was constantly sprinkling, and vaguely, the stones had a tendency to transform into flesh and blood.

A flash of ecstasy flashed in Zhao Sheng's eyes, and he didn't dare to breathe, he didn't expect that the blue-clothed catcher in front of him had such skills.

However, without waiting for him to be happy, Qi Zixiao suddenly removed the spirit domain, his face was a little ugly, "No, it can't be changed, is this a curse?" ”

His spiritual realm can only use the power of space to affect reality, not to reverse everything, under the cover of the spiritual realm, he either chooses to transfer these stone sculptures, or, choose to send away their petrified skin and muscles.

Doesn't solve the problem at all.

He sighed a little in his heart, the spiritual realm is not omnipotent.

Thinking of the curse, Qi Zixiao's heart moved, and he suddenly stretched out a hand, and the next moment, a red scissor appeared, which seemed to be stained red with blood.

Holding the scissors, he looked ahead and suddenly realized that these figures did not have a cursed line.

Therefore, scissors are useless.

He turned around, looked at Zhao Sheng, and slowly spoke, "Only by finding the source of the petrification can these villagers recover, now, I need to know what is going on here, things will not appear for no reason, it must be this village, or what the people of the village have done, will cause this disaster." ”

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Qi Zhutou, I have asked the three nearby villages about this matter, but they can't say clearly, and occasionally a few people say that Wangjiazhuang is no different from usual, basically going up the mountain to hunt every day, and going down the mountain before dusk ......"

His words did not have the slightest useful information, which gave Qi Zixiao a little headache.

"If that thing is spirit, why should it petrify the people of this village? Where does it go after it gets its hands dirty? ”

Qi Zixiao couldn't help but think.

"Has there been a similar situation in a nearby village in the last few days?"

Qi Zixiao asked.

Zhao Sheng shook his head, "I haven't heard of this." ”

In a county seat, there are so many villages below, and it is impossible for them to manage it.

Even if something happens, it's up to the locals to report it, and they need to investigate.

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao nodded, "It seems that I can only investigate in person." ”

He didn't have time to stay here longer, and the longer it dragged on, the more troublesome things became.

The next moment, a flash of red light, and his figure disappeared in place.

Thousands of meters away, Qi Zixiao appeared, but as soon as he appeared, he disappeared again, and in a few breaths, he appeared on top of a mountain peak, standing here, overlooking more than a dozen villages below.

He took out his mirror and said lightly, "Captain, you should have heard it." ”

"I'm having people look through the ancient books right now to see if they can find some clues in them."

Zhong Xuan's voice came from the mirror.

The Night's Watch doesn't know how many spiritual disasters they have dealt with since their inception, and each of them has a detailed file.

This is also for the convenience of future generations, when the later people encounter similar things again, it can be more relaxed.

Qi Zixiao looked down, white clouds floating in the sky, lush forests, and several small lakes under the mountains.

More than a dozen villages are scattered around the mountains and forests.

He could see the crowd around Wangjiazhuang, like ants, with only a small black dot.

In other villages, smoke can be seen rising, children laughing and playing, and adults working in the fields.

He was vaguely aware that perhaps the murderer had not gone too far.

He couldn't act rashly, so he could only wait here quietly.

At this point, he took out the pamphlet from his body, flipped through it, and soon found a page with an item on it.

"Spiritual incense, a second-grade spiritual object, after being ignited, it can attract the spirits within a radius of ten miles and be absorbed by the spirits, but the fragrance is easy to make the person who ignites the spiritual incense sluggish, and the spirits that are attracted are killed, value, three points."

"Captain, why don't I try it with spiritual incense."

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth and said.

I just got twenty points, and I just happened to try some of the Night's Watch artifacts.

"You wait an hour first, if there is no clue on my side within an hour, then agree to your plan."

Zhong Xuan spoke in a deep voice.

At this time, within the branch, countless ancient books were moved out, and a group of people were frantically flipping through them.

About half an hour passed, and a man suddenly spoke in ecstasy, "I found it, I found ......"

Zhong Xuan's eyes froze, and with a wave of his hand, the ancient book fell into his hand, and after a brief glance, Zhong Xuan's eyes flashed.

The next moment, on the top of the mountain where Qi Zixiao was, Zhong Xuan's voice came, "Zixiao, I found a little information, according to the records, there are about three spirits with petrification ability, one is Medusa, anyone who is seen by her eyes will be petrified, this kind of petrification is very terrifying, it is difficult for land immortals to resist, however, it has been suppressed, it is impossible to break the seal, and there is another one, it is a finger, anyone who is touched by this finger will become a stone, irreversible, and be imprisoned in the headquarters of the night watch, it is also impossible." The third is called the stone spirit, this spirit has average power, and at most the surface is petrified. ”

"More than a hundred years ago, the stone spirit was thrown into the spirit world by a night watchman and disappeared without a trace."

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao raised his eyebrows, "You mean, this is Shi Ling!" ”

"Seventy percent likely!"

Zhong Xuan said calmly, "Now that the contact between the spirit world and the Divine State is getting closer and closer, it is not incomprehensible for the spirit of the Spirit Realm to break through the blockade and enter the Divine Prefecture. ”
