In the hall, Qi Zixiao looked at the man in front of him, his brows furrowed, and he could only let someone send him down and settle him, and arrange a special person to guard him.

After all, this is the first person to be converted back from livestock, and it has high research value.

They discussed it again for a while, but they didn't have a clue.

In the end, Qi Zixiao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's stop here for today, next, we are each responsible for an area, I believe that the number of missing people should increase, maybe we can start from this aspect." ”

Hearing Qi Zixiao's words, everyone nodded, feeling quite reasonable.

They then begin assigning areas.

Because Qi Zixiao has a spiritual domain, he is in charge of half of Sanyang County, and all the other night watchmen and purple-clothed headhunters are in charge of the other half.

When night falls, everything is silent, and the prosperity of the county town is gradually fading.

On the streets, only the sounds of watchmen and the howling north wind could be heard.

The weather was cold, and the snowflakes were falling, covering the county town with a layer of silver.

On the roof of a house, Qi Zixiao sat there, wearing a blue robe, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and taking two sips from time to time.

The snow fell, turning his hair white.

However, Qi Zixiao didn't care, just looked at the entire county city from a distance, and an invisible crimson light spread, enveloping half of the county town.

In a mansion, a pot-bellied man was eating in his room, and a woman was going to bed early.

The light of the candles illuminates the room, and the man eats his meal while reminiscing about the food in the previous restaurant.

"It really tastes like chewing wax, and it's too far from the food in the restaurant."

The man couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he was also a little dissatisfied, "I really don't know what the government is crazy about today, and all restaurants and restaurants have been sealed, so I don't have anything to eat." ”

As he spoke, he felt that his stomach was hungry again, so he quickly picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat.

However, the next moment, the man suddenly noticed that there was an itching sensation all over his body, as if something had grown.

"This, what's going on......"

The man was shocked to find that dense black hair suddenly grew on his hands.

His limbs were twisting and changing, and in just a few breaths, he found that he could no longer make sounds, as if he had become a big black dog.

"Wang" "Wang"......

He wanted to ask for help, but as soon as the voice came out, there was a dog barking, and on the bed, the woman heard the voice, opened her eyes, looked at the black dog in front of her, and was a little puzzled, "Where did the dog come from?" ”

She was a little scared and didn't know where her man had gone.

The next moment, the red light flashed, the candlelight rolled violently, and a figure suddenly appeared in the room, looking terrifying and weird.

The woman was about to scream, but suddenly became confused and passed out directly.

Qi Zixiao looked at the black dog in front of him, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, "There is no warning, sudden change, strange ......"

He took out the scissors and probed the curse on the other party's body, and sure enough, it was less than the curse that Wang Liu and they had made.

He could feel that there was a pleading in the eyes of the big black dog, as if it was asking him for help, but soon, the feeling of asking for help disappeared, as if consciousness had been taken away.

With a thought, the dog appeared in the county office and was sent to a special place.

Not only in this place, but also in other places, similar situations have emerged one after another.

Or become a fat pig, or a rooster, or a goat......

But none of them could prevent this from happening.

The night passed, and Qi Zixiao and the others gathered again.

"How's that going over there?"

The county guard asked Xu Qingfeng, Wu Donghe and others.

"Eleven more people in the area I am guarding are missing and turned into livestock."

Xu Qingfeng said with an ugly face.

"I'm thirteen over there!"

Wu Donghe also responded.

Lin Fan smiled bitterly, "Eighteen people on my side!" ”

They all set their eyes on Qi Zixiao's side.

"It's pretty much the same, fourteen people on my side."

Qi Zixiao said in a low tone.

Ye Chong, Zhao Lan, and Liu Bing also reported the missing persons in their respective regions, and in just one night, the number of missing people in Sanyang County was nearly 100!

This number made everyone's hearts frightened, and the county guard and county lieutenant were even more difficult to see the extreme, the matter reached such a point, once it could not be solved, their promotion path would be interrupted.

Of course, Feng Qing can say that with the Feng family as the backing, he can get out of it, but his reputation will definitely not be too good.

The most unlucky thing is the county guard, who has to resist everything.

A group of people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The county guard said irritably, "Isn't there a way!" ”

At this time, Qi Zixiao groaned for a moment and slowly spoke, "Maybe there is a way." ”

"Huh?"

The others all turned their heads in an instant and looked at Qi Zixiao with a hint of hope in their eyes.

"I found that all of these people who have become livestock have one thing in common, that is, they have all eaten the meat of animals that people have turned into."

Qi Zixiao spoke, his gaze with a touch of solemnity, "So, I suspect that the curse began to spread from here." ”

"You mean, whoever eats that meat will be cursed and become livestock!"

When everyone heard this, their bodies were shocked, and they looked at Qi Zixiao with a shocked expression.

"That's right!"

Qi Zixiao nodded.

The county guard's face turned pale, without a trace of blood, "As far as I know, at least the people in Sancheng County Town should have eaten it!" ”

Looking at the county guard's face, Qi Zixiao's heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "Your Excellency has also eaten?" ”

The county guard smiled bitterly and did not deny it.

"I ate it once."

Everyone else fell silent.

"Zixiao, you just said that there is a way, what is the way?"

The county warden asked urgingly.

"Take the initiative to accept the curse, and then trace the source!"

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth and said.

His gaze was cold, with a hint of determination.

The others immediately understood what he meant, and they all gasped.

"I understand what you mean, take the initiative to accept the curse, and then find the source of the curse, so as to find a way to crack it."

Wu Donghe nodded, and then frowned, "However, who to let go is a question, this person who inherits the curse must have the strength to resist the curse, and can retreat from the curse at any time......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Qi Zixiao with a strange color in his eyes.

Everyone else looked at Qi Zixiao, the meaning was self-evident, among those present, there were not many people who had the ability to do this.

Seeing their gazes, Qi Zixiao nodded calmly, "Since I proposed this idea, it is naturally up to me to bear it, but I can't eat human flesh." ”

If you want to bear the curse, you have to eat those human flesh ingredients.

Hearing this, Yazhong pondered for a moment and said, "There is something in the branch that can transfer the curse, and it should be useful." ”

While he was talking, someone outside came in to report that a man named Hua Manlou had sent something.

Soon, Hosoyanagi came into the hall, she looked at the many high-level officials of Sanyang County who were not nervous, showed a smile, and took out something from her body, which was a little man woven with straw.

It looks extremely crude, worse than what is sold on the stalls.

"This is a scarecrow, harvested when Captain Zhong was dealing with a spiritual calamity in the past, and it has never been used, Captain Hua asked me to send it, saying that it may be useful to you."

Hosoyanagi explained.

Qi Zixiao waved his hand, and the scarecrow fell into his hand, and from it, he sensed a special power.

"The way to use it is simple, find the person you want to transfer the curse, drip the blood of both people in it at the same time, and once the other person suffers the curse, this scarecrow can transfer the curse to another person."

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao nodded and looked at everyone present.

"In that case, let's find a guy who is about to turn into a livestock."

Xu Qingfeng spoke.

"The more people eat, the stronger the curse they receive, and the faster they become livestock."

Qi Zixiao spoke, "I'll leave the matter of finding someone to you, I'll go and prepare first." ”

He didn't know what he would face after receiving the curse this time, so he needed to make some preparations in advance to save time from getting into it.

After saying that, he left with Yezhong and the others.

Xu Qingfeng, Wu Donghe and the others all looked at their backs as they left and began to think about the candidates who would bear the curse.

……

Sanyang County Night's Watch Branch

Qi Zixiao and the others returned here and saw Hua Manlou.

At this time, the other party was sitting in the gazebo, playing chess with himself and drinking tea at the same time.

Seeing them, Hua Manlou smiled and waved for them to sit down.

"Lao Hua, you are also the acting captain now, just send us a scarecrow, this is too perfunctory."

Zhao Lan snorted twice and spoke dissatisfiedly.

Hearing this, Hua Manlou shook his head with a smile, "You guys, you really think I'm idle here, just when you go to investigate, I've already found a little clue for you here." ”

"Clue, what clue?"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

"I consulted some ancient books and found that a hundred years ago, there was a branch of the Daomen, called Qiluo Dao, which studied all kinds of strange techniques, but let them study a lot of evil and strange methods, among them, there is an evil art, that is, Tianluo Creation, which can turn people into all kinds of livestock, poultry ......"

Hua Manlou spoke softly.

"You mean, this incident has something to do with this branch of the Daomen!"

Zhao Lan frowned, "If this is really the case, we should let the Taoist masters come forward to solve it." ”

"Listen to me first, this inheritance was destroyed a hundred years ago, and it was our own people who destroyed them."

Hua Manlou spoke in a solemn tone.

"For a hundred years, there has been no news of this Dao system, and if it weren't for this incident, I don't know that there was such a strange inheritance."

"A Dao system that has been destroyed has reappeared, strange, when did we night watchmen do such a thing of cutting grass without eradicating the roots?"

Zhao Lan was a little surprised.

The night watchman never leaves any trouble, like the kind of thing that runs out and slips through the net, basically it will not exist, either it will not be solved, or it will be completely solved!

"What the hell do you mean?"

Yezhong frowned and asked, he knew that Hua Manlou would not say useless things.
