Chapter 248: Old Man
When I dealt with that swarthy man just now, I bombarded him with a thunder fire talisman, and he was also cracked, exactly like this old man!
We were in a hurry to deal with that old man and didn't have time to solve the mystery, but now it's time to investigate what these people are!
I walked over and picked up the old man's body, only to find that it was just wrapped in a layer of human skin on the surface, and inside it was actually a piece of wood!
"Wooden man?"
I frowned, and was in doubt, when I suddenly heard a creaking sound outside, and through the crack in the door, I saw that countless villagers had opened the doors and walked crookedly into the street, walking aimlessly.
There is no doubt that they, like this old lady, are some unintelligent wooden people, and it was only after hearing the old lady's instructions that they came out to search for me and Lonnie's traces!
I didn't expect that the villagers in this entire Mujiazhuang were all wooden people!
Thinking about the experience at the inn, I seemed to understand something.
This Lao Suo's family, like these wooden people outside, should be the villagers of Mujiazhuang, but I don't know by what means, Lao Suo controlled the entire village and let all the wooden people serve themselves.
The proprietress and Xiaomei have not yet grown solid in their bodies, so once the epidermis is broken, it will directly turn into a puddle of meat mud.
And the swarthy man, like these villagers, had already grown solid, so even if he was hit by the Thunder Fire Talisman, only a few cracks appeared, and in essence, they were all the same.
As for the skull and those skeletons, they should be the occupants who have been brutally killed by Lao Sue over the years, and Lao Suo killed them, and after taking away the essence blood, he refined the bones and became his helpers.
"The old man said before that he took the customer's essence and blood and went to sacrifice it to the old man, I think this old man should have a lot to do with what we are looking for!"
Lonnie nodded: "Yes, as long as you find that old man, it is estimated that you will be able to find traces of the golden carving knife." ”
"It's just that this old man is so mysterious, and it's not easy to find him."
I pondered for a while, and suddenly an idea struck me.
"Ni, then, let's ...... next"
"No, absolutely not!"
Before I could finish speaking, Lonnie shook her head directly: "I can't put yourself in danger!" ”
"Don't worry, Ni, that old man said that he would capture me alive, and he would definitely not treat me like anything before he met the old man, and this is also the best chance for us to get close to the old man!"
"You just follow me secretly, pay attention to my gestures at any time, and strike as soon as the time comes!"
Lonnie hesitated for a while, but at my insistence, she finally agreed.
"Okay, Xiao Chengzi, I will definitely protect you!"
I nodded, letting Lonnie stay in the yard while I pushed open the gate and walked out into the street.
"Hey, aren't you trying to get me? I'm coming! ”
Walking down the street, I shouted at the wooden people.
Whew!
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes stared at me and gathered on me.
The wooden men tilted their heads and looked at me for a moment, then they gathered around me with stiff steps.
At the same time, the old man seemed to hear the movement here, and turned back with the skeleton team.
"Boy, you still dare to show up, today I will let you pay for my wife and children!"
I sneered, "yes, then you have a kind of kill me now?" ”
"You!"
Lao Su snorted coldly: "I'll let you live a little longer, and when the old man takes away your essence and blood, I will personally dig out your heart!" ”
As soon as he waved his hand, the wooden men pressed my arm, followed the old man, and walked deeper into the village.
It was late at night, but the rain did not abate, and in a short time, a wooden house appeared in front of it, and unlike the other houses in the village, there was a light in this wooden house!
There is also a lantern hanging outside the wooden house, and the lantern emits an orange shimmer, which shines more and more brightly in the rain!
The head, the skeleton behind it, and the wooden man in the village all stopped in place, their bodies trembling, as if they were very afraid of the existence in the wooden house.
The old man also put on a solemn expression, walked to the door of the wooden house alone, and knelt directly on the ground.
"Sir!"
As soon as the words fell, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and the owner of the house slowly walked out.
I thought there would be some kind of monster coming out, but when I saw the person who came out, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This is an old man in his sixties, he is dressed in a black Tang suit, with gold-rimmed glasses, and a kind expression, he looks like a normal person!
Could it be that this old man is the mastermind behind the control of the entire Mujiazhuang?
"Who is he?"
The old man looked at me and asked the old man.
"Master, this person is a monk, he destroyed the body of my wife and children, and I hope the master will help repair it!"
As he spoke, Lao Su took out two human skins rolled together from his back and handed them to the old man.
"My son is also seriously injured, but it can be repaired, but my wife and daughter are not solid yet, so I can only rely on you to help!"
The old man took the two skins and nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, within a month, I will make your wife and daughter fully recover."
"Thank you, sir!"
Lao Su was suddenly overjoyed, quickly knelt on the ground, and said respectfully.
"Alright, you send this monk to my room first, I just need this kind of spiritual human blood!"
"Yes!"
The old man answered, and then ordered the two wooden men to escort me into the house.
The furnishings in the room are simple, but there is a large vat in the middle, which is full of red blood, and a raging fire is still burning under the vat, and the blood in the vat is constantly boiling, and the thick bloody gas suddenly penetrates my nose.
The old man went into the house, took out an iron clip, stirred it in the vat, and in a few moments he drew out a short knife.
"Boy, it's really time for you to come, my blood drinking knife is still the last step to be completed, so you can make the final introduction!"
The old man wiped the blood from the short knife, and slowly walked up to me with the handle of the knife, revealing a sinister smile on his face!
"Wait!"
I hurriedly said, "Even if you die, you have to let me die!" ”
The old man was slightly stunned: "What do you want to understand?" ”
"Who the hell are you, how did the villagers of this Mujiazhuang become wooden people, what are you going to do when you refine the blood drinking knife?"
I threw out a series of questions, and the old man's face suddenly turned cold and his eyes narrowed.
"It's all dying, why are you still asking so much?"
