The missing wooden people were all hung from the beams!

"Oh my mother!" Xiao Shuai shrank back into Mu Yu's clothes.

These wooden figures are so carved that they look too similar, especially after being painted, if you don't look at those wooden eyes, they are no different from real people.

Each wooden man had a hemp rope tied around his neck, which hung freely, more than four meters above the ground! The other end of the hemp rope was firmly tied to the beam, and the "creaking" sound came from the friction between the hemp rope and the beam.

At first glance, the wooden figures looked as if they were actually hanging from the beams.

Mu Yu froze down, feeling that he would rather fight the ghost gate for hundreds of rounds than see such a strange scene. Even when he was in the Sand Eagle Demon King's underground palace before, he was not so nervous when facing so many Yin corpses.

Because where the Yin corpse came from is determined, according to Xiao Shuai, the Yin corpse is still a little cute, but this wooden man does not play cards according to common sense at all, so he hangs above his head in a daze, and sways slightly, and Mu Yu didn't notice it when he came in!

This house is the kind of old-fashioned beams, the roof is built very high, and the wooden man is also hanging very high, more than four meters above the ground, Mu Yu only cares about checking the surroundings of the room when he comes in, but he never notices the abnormality on the beams.

When he looked up, he saw more than a dozen people in shrouds shaking, and this scene was really terrifying.

"Little mouse, you are so cowardly, and it is useless for a few wooden people to scare you like this. Long Teng scoffed.

"Of course I'm timid if there's anything good to eat here. Xiao Shuai muttered.

Xiao Shuai used to be very brave when he encountered the soul of a dead person's corpse, and that was because there were delicious things such as the formation base that attracted it, and the temptation of food could make Xiao Shuai more courageous and fearless. But there was nothing to eat here, and Xiao Shuai couldn't muster up the courage anymore.

Mu Yu was actually frightened, and he scolded: "Damn, is it a prank? Hang the wooden man on the beam of the house, and he will watch these wooden people sleep at night, won't he have nightmares?"

He thought he was very bold, and he had seen many strange things, dead people, corpses, and souls! But this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing of hanging a wooden man from a beam of a house.

"It's strange, these people don't have the breath of wood anymore, haven't you noticed Mu Yu?" Long Teng said strangely.

As soon as Long Teng reminded him, Mu Yu suddenly came to his senses. No wonder he didn't find out where the wooden man was when he came in, it turned out that this was the reason!

The wooden feather dodged and floated up, stopping beside the wooden people. All the wooden figures were shaking slightly, but they didn't collide together.

He touched the arm of a young woman with a pale face, the statue of the young woman looked sickly, but it was still made of wood, but there was a strange life force in the wood, as if it was about to come to life.

This strange vitality obscures the scent of wood, making them less like wood.

Mu Yu could clearly feel that this vitality came from the hemp rope around their necks, but there was nothing strange attached to the other end of the hemp rope, so it meant that the hemp rope itself was strange.

When Mu Yu looked closely, he found that it was not a hemp rope at all, but a yellow material that had never been seen before, not a plant, and there was a vitality flowing in it that I don't know where it came from.

"There are no ladders in this room, how did a mortal in Chen Erzhuang hang them up?"

Mu Yu curiously wandered among all the wooden people, trying to find out something unusual from these wooden people, but unfortunately the wooden people had nothing special except for fluttering.

But at this moment, Mu Yu actually saw a familiar wooden man!

Old Xu Tou!

"How could the statue of the old man be here?" Mu Yu was extremely surprised, if it weren't for the fact that the wooden man's eyes were not colored, he would have thought that Old Xu Tou himself was hanging here!

Mu Yu originally thought that these wooden figures were carved randomly, but now it seems that this is not the case.

He looked at all the wooden figures again, and found that except for the pale young woman who had just touched her, the rest of the wooden figures were old men and old women, who looked to have half a foot in the coffin.

On top of that, Mu Yu found that the old woman with age spots on her face carved by one of the guys in the afternoon was gone!

"Wait, these people can't all be people who are about to die, right?" Mu Yu guessed in his heart, and then shook the coward who couldn't stop complaining in his arms, "Xiaoshuai, how long do you think the old man who received us will live?"

Xiao Shuai is like a Hades Lord, saying that whoever dies will basically not live. However, Mu Yu warned it before, don't just talk about who is going to die, so Xiao Shuai basically won't talk too much about this.

"The old man who said I was a little mouse? He should die to-morrow evening, he was in bad health, and he had to hold on until then. Xiao Shuai said dissatisfiedly, he is still angry with Lao Xutou.

"What? What disease did he have?" Mu Yu didn't notice Lao Xu Tou's problem at first, he was only concerned about unlocking the heartless array in Lao Xu Tou's body, and didn't care about anything else, he thought that the vitality in Lao Xu Tou's body was still very strong!

"It's not a disease, he should have lived well, at least for ten years, right? But that formation technique, it's the Heartless Array, don't you notice? It sucked away that guy's life force. Xiao Shuai said.

Mu Yu frowned, at that time he felt that the formation under the Heartless Array was different, but he didn't care, and now it seems that he has ignored something.

When I came to the statue of Lao Xu Tou, I found that the wooden man in front of me seemed to be more and more realistic, and even on his chest-

The chest is heaving! The old wooden man is breathing?

"Is it going to come back to life?" Mu Yu felt that things were getting more and more unbelievable, and he didn't notice the vision when he helped Lao Xu Tou check his body.

"Wait, I seem to remember this phenomenon. Let me think about it......" Xiao Shuai poked his head out, stretched out a claw, and gently poked the arm of "Old Xu Tou", suddenly revealing a surprised expression.

"What's wrong?" asked Mu Yu.

"I know, this is no longer a formation technique, but a very special Gu technique, I remember where I have seen it. Anyway, it's not clear, the Heartless Array is only used to induce Gu magic. Gu Technique is not the same as Array Technique, after the Gu Technique is activated, the Heartless Array is dispensable, oops! Even I was blinded at that time!" Xiao Shuai was a little surprised.

"Gu art?"

Mu Yu used to remember hearing Master say this kind of thing, this kind of thing is like cultivating Gu worms in a person's body, used to punish a person, and make a person obedient and obedient, otherwise he will not be able to survive and die. But it was not clear how Mu Yu was exactly, he had not experienced Gu art.

"This Gu technique is to transfer the vitality of Old Xu Tou to this wooden man. Xiao Shuai stretched out his hand again and pulled the skin of "Old Xutou" and said seriously.

"Are you saying that this wooden man will come back to life, and then the old man will die?"

Mu Yu was very angry in his heart, he was always grateful to kind people, although the way Lao Xu Tou spoke was ridiculous, but a warm and kind person, Mu Yu couldn't watch him die in vain.

Xiao Shuai tilted his head and thought for a while: "I don't know, I feel that the role of this wooden man seems to be used to replace the old man, and then used to hide something, not particularly clear." I don't know how to undo this Gu spell either. ”

"Something? Wait! I think something is wrong. ”

Mu Yu remembered that at that time, Lao Xu Tou said that Old Lady Zhao did not kill everyone, but said something "I will wait for the day you die and then come to greet each of you and your descendants", is this the reason why he did not kill others?

In order to take the lives of the villagers in another way?

Old lady Zhao died of natural old age, and he ran out as soon as he was sent to the mass burial valley and took all his descendants away. And if that guy wants to take away someone else and someone else's offspring, he has to wait for someone else to die?

Isn't it a soul that died naturally, that guy can't be collected, so he thought of another way to urge these people to die quickly?

Mu Yu felt a chill in his heart, this method was somewhat similar to that of the ghost sect people.

When he was still imprisoned in the valley, he followed Father Deadwood out to treat mortals who had the plague, only to find out later that the plague was deliberately spread by the ghost sect people, just to collect the souls of natural death to refine the Nine Formations of Snatching Houses, which were used to deal with the White Ape Demon King.

This guy who jumped out of nowhere and wanted to get the Triple Heaven also wanted to collect the souls of natural deaths and refine something weird, couldn't it?

"No, we have to find a way to stop this. They carved the wooden figures in order to transfer the lives of the villagers to the wooden figures, creating the illusion that the villagers had died of natural causes. Ki Yu clenched his fist.

"By the way, Mu Yu, and the coffin hanging from the beam in front of you, do you think we should go and see what's weird?" Long Teng reminded.

"Damn, big earthworm, do you have to get along with the coffin?" said the little marshal scolding, and it seemed that he didn't like those things.

But Mu Yu had already fallen, closed the door of the room again, and walked to the front yard.

Chen Erzhuang had already gone to hold a funeral for someone else, so the door of the store was closed. Mu Yu walked into the store from the courtyard and found that the store was very dark and there was no light at all.

The shop was no different from yesterday, the eerie coffin was still hanging from the beams of the room with ropes.

The Shadow Splitting Sword in Mu Yu's hand lit up with a cyan light, illuminating the entire room even more gloomily. He carefully landed on the side of the coffin, slowly slid open the coffin, and looked inside the coffin with the help of the blue light of the Shadow Sword—

Inside, there was an old man with a wrinkled face!

Mu Yu carefully looked at the old man in front of him, he naturally didn't know this dead man, but when he shifted his gaze to the old man's right hand, he found that the old man only had four fingers!

"Wait, he only has four fingers on his right hand, I remember that Old Lady Zhao only has four fingers on his left hand, this is Old Lady Zhao?" Mu Yu exclaimed.

The light of the Splitting Sword shone on Old Man Zhao's face, revealing a miserable green appearance.

Mu Yu didn't understand why Old Lady Zhao's body was here, but he suddenly heard a trace of breathing, which turned out to be coming from Old Lady Zhao!

"Damn, isn't he dead yet?" the little handsome monster screamed and drilled into Mu Yu's clothes again.
