Chapter 286: Valley Village, Soul Searching Memories
The distance of hundreds of miles was only a few breaths that could be crossed by any of the three of Su You, Jiang Nu'er, and Qi Meiren.
But in order to ensure that Yuan Tianguang's plan could be carried out smoothly, the three of them not only restrained their breath but also slowed down their pace, in order to ensure that they would not be discovered on the way to the destination marked on the map.
In order to confuse the real with the fake, the three of them even pretended to be refugees who had run away, as long as they did not encounter a cultivator higher than them, it was impossible to find the flaws in their disguise.
That's it.
The distance of hundreds of miles was that the three of them rushed slowly and leisurely for two days.
It wasn't until late at night that three days after leaving Shuolin City, the three of them finally arrived at the location marked on the map, that is, the rear supply point responsible for transporting and storing grain, grass and baggage among the 300,000 troops of the Tianxing and Loulan Dynasty.
The location of the supply point is located in a relatively hidden valley, if you look closely, you will know that the valley was originally a village, but now there are no villagers in the village anymore, only a small number of soldiers and demons patrol and guard it.
And when Su You, Jiang Nu'er and Qi Meiren stepped into the woods in front of the valley, they saw the bones covered with leaves and weeds all over the mountains and forests, and there were some broken clothes and fabrics buried in the grass and soil next to the bones.
Obviously, these bones were the villagers of the original village, and they were killed by the soldiers and demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain who had seized the village.
"It seems that the place we are looking for is here, and looking at the contents of those houses in the village, we know that Tianxing and the Loulan Dynasty must have stored a lot of grain and grass here."
Standing on the tree and looking at the village in the valley in front of him, the houses in the village did not close the doors and windows, Su You could clearly see what was stored inside with his cultivation realm, and at the same time, he could also use the powerful divine soul power to silently investigate whether these things were fraudulent or not.
So after a little observation, Su You turned his head and said to Jiang Nu'er and Qi Meiren: "The only problem is that the village in this valley is too small, so small that I think the things stored in it will definitely not be able to meet the consumption of the 300,000 army, so I think we can't act rashly, let's observe carefully for a day or two." ”
Jiang Nu'er and Qi Meiren had no objections, and they could also see that the things stored in those houses in the village were indeed not enough to supply the 300,000 army.
There must be other secrets in this village, or rather in this valley, that they have not yet discovered.
So the group did not rush into the village to investigate, but set their eyes on the group of soldiers and demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain who were guarding the village.
Fortunately, the cultivation realm of the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain is generally around the Innocent Realm, and most of the sergeants are below the Innate Realm, even ordinary people.
In the evening, Su You went to the village alone, and soon captured a sergeant belonging to the army of the Celestial Star Dynasty.
The sergeants are different from the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain, they are still people, not puppets.
Therefore, while having self-awareness, there are also memories that the puppet does not have.
Therefore, it may be difficult to find some clues from the sergeant's mouth, but once the soul searching technique is used, the other party will obediently let his mind present all the memories of the past.
Su You and his party did exactly that, and after Su You captured the sergeant back, they immediately used soul searching on him, and searched out all the memories in his mind.
But to Su You's surprise, this sergeant's memory did not have the slightest memory of "the secrets in the village", but only the memory of being a sergeant responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, and even the memory of himself doing things with the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain.
"This is very strange, obviously these sergeants have already guarded the supply point in the valley village with the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain, but why is there not a trace of the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain in this guy's memory?"
The sergeant's memory made Su You, who used soul searching on him, puzzled, he didn't find out from the sergeant's mind that anyone had tampered with the sergeant's memory, "If you can even hide it from me..." Could it be that there are really more than four demon gods and eight demon generals in the Demon Domain? Is the previous speculation in Shanhaiguan also true? ”
Thinking that it was very likely that the Heavenly Demon Domain still had a back hand, Su You frowned slightly, only to feel that the development of things had begun to become confusing and elusive again.
But at this moment.
Qi Meiren suddenly opened her mouth and said in a surprised tone: "Wait! I seem to have found something! ”
Without waiting for Su You and Jiang Nu'er to ask her what she had discovered, Qi Meiren said directly: "I just said that I always felt weird when I searched for souls just now, and now I have reflected why this guy has never had a Heavenly Demon Domain ghost appear in his memory." ”
I saw that Qi Meiren took out a map of the valley village drawn by the three of them together while talking, and the black and white dots were also marked on the map to represent the soldiers and demons in the Heavenly Demon Domain in the village.
At the same time, Qi Meiren pointed to the black and white dots on the map and Su You, Jiang Nu'er said: "Have you noticed, although there has never been any Heavenly Demon Domain evil ghosts in that sergeant's memory, but the life trajectory of the people in his memory, especially about the village, can be extremely similar to the life trajectory of the group of Heavenly Demon Domain evil ghosts we saw." ”
"You..."
Su You immediately reacted from Qi Meiren's words, and immediately said with joy on his face: "Are you saying that although this sergeant's memory has been tampered with, it is actually only his cognition of the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain that has been tampered with?" ”
Qi Meiren immediately nodded and said, "That's right, I think that's it." ”
"So what we guessed was correct?" Jiang Nu'er also understood what Qi Meiren said, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
The three of them then began to re-analyze the memories they had found in the sergeant's mind using the soul search, and then draw the images in the memories and compare them with the real valley village.
Soon.
The comparison has come to fruition.
Sure enough, the three of them noticed something wrong in the sergeant's memory.
In the several Heavenly Demon Domain demons who have crossed paths with the sergeants, they will disappear from several fixed rooms in the village for a period of time whenever they are on duty.
The sergeant was responsible for guarding the village during this time according to the route of the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain.
"So what did those Heavenly Demon Domain demons do during the time they disappeared?"
The three of them looked up at each other, but a smile slowly appeared in their eyes.
