Chapter 112: Lake Spirit
After Ye Qing and Xiaoyang left the broken temple, they walked all the way, and they did not encounter any danger on the road, and they arrived at Yuquan Village before noon.
Although he had already learned about the situation in Yuquan Village from Ling Jianqiu, after actually arriving in Yuquan Village and seeing the situation in Yuquan Village, Ye Qing knew that things were more serious than he imagined.
I saw that the fields outside Yuquan Village were all deserted and overgrown with wild grass, and the village air defense was weak, and the village was in a mess, with garbage and feces piled up everywhere.
What's even more terrifying is the villagers of Yuquan Village, whether adults or children, all of them are yellow and thin, skinny, as if they have suffered a famine.
But all the villagers had happy smiles on their faces, which was weird and abnormal.
Moreover, the village of thousands of people is now only about 300 people.
Ye Qing and Xiao Yang visited all the villagers, but they found nothing, and everyone's rhetoric was exactly the same as Ling Jianqiu's previous rhetoric.
As for Yu Hai's news, the villagers also don't know anything, in short, everyone has never seen Yu Hai, and they don't know who he is?
Subsequently, Ye Qing and Xiaoyang searched carefully in and around Yuquan Village, but they also failed to find any useful clues.
Of course, there are a few clues that are not clues.
First, the reason why the villagers of Yuquan Village are yellow and thin and skinny is not because they have not eaten, but purely because of the lack of qi and blood.
The second is that when the two of them searched for clues around Yuquan Village, they did not see any strange traces, not even the most common wind children, mud dolls, etc.
Moreover, it stands to reason that Yuquan Village has no air defense, there are no patrol members, and the villagers have no power to resist.
But on the contrary, Yuquan Village is safe and sound.
According to Ye Qing and Xiaoyang's speculation, there are two possibilities for this reason: first, there is an extremely powerful monster around Yuquan Village, which scared away the surrounding monsters, and this monster has an unknown purpose, so he did not kill these villagers.
For example, picky eaters;
For example, stockpiling food;
Wait a minute.
Second, there is a weirdness in Yuquan Village, and the strange existence affects the villagers and scares away the surrounding weirdness.
After discussing with the two, they decided that the first possibility was more likely.
Because, the hearts of those villagers are all scars left by cutting with knives, and those scars are estimated to be the direct cause of the decay of their qi and blood.
If it's really weird, with weird abilities and horrors, there is no need to do it at all!
Of course, this is only speculation between the two, and the truth of the matter remains to be further investigated.
However, in Ye Qing's mind, it is best not to be weird, if it is really weird...... Well, I'm sorry, I had to slip away first.
......
When the sun sets and the moon rises, when the village of Yuquan is covered in darkness, silence becomes the only theme in the world.
Not silence, to be precise, but dead silence.
Just like Yuquan Village, like a real dead village, there is not a single ray of light, no sound, no vitality.
"It's so strange, I always feel that Yuquan Village is dead!"
Ye Qing and Xiaoyang, who were from the heart, hid far away from Yuquan Village, stared at Yuquan Village from afar, and said in a low voice.
Originally, hiding in the village and observing it up close was the best choice, but God knows what made Yuquan Village like this?
If it's weird, it's okay, with the strength of the two of them, even if they are defeated, they can escape, if it's weird, the two of them will be in danger.
Of course, putting them in danger was a small matter, in case the investigation of the truth of the matter was delayed, they could not report the matter to Jing'an Division, so the two of them chose to stay away from Yuquan Village and observe secretly.
It's not cowardice, it's strategy, yes, it's strategy!
"Indeed, during the day, there are still some people in the village, but at night, the spirit of the whole village disappears, like a tomb. ”
Ye Qing turned over, lay flat on the ground, looked at the dark clouds in the air, and said lightly: "Tonight, there should be a harvest!"
"Hehe, it's good to get a harvest, if it's a life talisman, then it's troublesome!" Xiao Yang did the same, lying on the ground, hehe smiled.
"Crow's beak!"
Ye Qing glanced at Xiaoyang: "However, Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, with my brother here, even if it is a talisman, it is estimated that it will become a lucky star!"
"That's true, I love to hear it!" Xiaoyang laughed.
While chatting, the two paid attention to the situation in Yuquan Village, and time passed in a flash.
"It's coming!"
Just after the child, Ye Qing, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of electricity.
At the same time, Xiaoyang also woke up.
The two of them looked at the night, only to see that at some point, a mist surged on the lake next to Yuquan Village.
The lake, named Jade Spring, water like jasper, sweet and delicious, hence the name Jade Spring, and the name of Yuquan Village also comes from this.
During the day, the two also checked Yuquan, but found nothing.
But now it seems that the problem lies with Yuquan.
The two of them glanced at each other, both of them were a little confused, one of them was in the Refining Gang Realm, and the other was in the Tuomai Realm, and they walked around next to the Yuquan for two or three times, but they didn't find anything abnormal.
Something to shame!
In the sky above the jade spring, the water mist became more and more dense, and then a large fish with three red whiskers on the gills and a snow-white body jumped out of the spring water and suspended in the air.
After a while, hundreds of big fish appeared in the air, white and white, like heavy snow.
"Dangdang"
Suddenly, a strange human-like monster with a turtle shell on his back, a head with two horns, a face as black as ink, and long hands and feet, slowly surfaced.
The humanoid monster holds a gong in one hand and a drumstick in the other, and strikes the gong as it surfaces.
At the sound of the sound, the big fish in the air began to swim and spread forward, forming a snow-white bridge in the blink of an eye.
The spring spontaneously gushes up, lifting the strange figure up and landing on a bridge formed by a large fish.
After landing on the bridge, the big fish carried the humanoid monster and swept towards Yuquan Village.
"What kind of weirdness is this?" Ye Qing Chuanyin asked.
Xiao Yang stared at the strange monster in the air and shook his head: "I don't know, but it seems that it is a kind of spirit in the lake." ”
"Lake spirits?" "The mountain has a mountain spirit, the water has a water spirit, and the human shape in front of him is weird, it should be a kind of water spirit, similar to the mountain god of Xiaojun Mountain, but one is good and one evil!
Ye Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the lake spirit in the air, only to see that after the lake spirit reached the sky above Yuquan Village, he picked up the drumstick and struck it heavily on the gong.
"When ......"
The crisp sound, as if with some kind of strange power, rippled in the air.
As the sound spread, the villagers in Yuquan Village walked out, each carrying a knife in their hands.
All the villagers looked numb and their eyes were cloudy, as if they were dead.
After walking out of the village, hundreds of villagers walked straight to the jade spring.
"When...... When ......"
The lake spirit on the big fish returned to the sky above the jade spring and struck two gongs in succession.
The sound of the gong was rapid and compact, extremely sharp, even if they were far away, Ye Qing and Xiaoyang also felt that their spirits were swaying and their minds were ignorant.
With the sound of the gong, the villagers standing in front of Yuquan began to tear off their clothes, exposing their chests, and then picked up the knife in their hands and cut a deep scar at the place of their hearts.
After the wound was opened, gurgling blood flowed out and dripped into the jade spring.
The clear and clean water of the lake was instantly stained with blood.
And the name of the village stood in place as if he didn't know the pain, dumbfounded.
After the villager had shed about a large bowl of blood in his heart, the red whiskers of the big white fish in the air hung down and caressed the villager's wounds.
The next moment, I saw that the wound on the villager's heart immediately stopped bleeding.
Immediately, the villager turned to leave, and another villager stepped forward, just like the first, ripping open his chest and bleeding.
Third Person ......
Fourth person......
Fifth Man ......
The villagers of Yuquan Village, like marionettes, one after another, cut open their chests and dripped their hearts and blood into Yuquan.
In a short time, the spring water was completely dyed blood-red, viscous as mercury, and the thick smell of blood filled the void.
"What do you want to do with this lake spirit?" Ye Qing asked in a low voice.
Xiaoyang shook his head: "I don't know, but it's not a good thing anyway, let's see!"
"When...... When ......"
After about half a cup of tea, the lake spirit in the air suddenly struck the gong, and with the sound of the gong, the lake water in the center of the jade spring slowly swirled, forming a whirlpool.
In the center of the whirlpool, a lotus flower as white as jade slowly emerged.
After the white jade lotus flower surfaced, the sticky red blood in the lake poured into the lotus as if it was being pulled.
The white lotus flower turned blood-red in an instant, and the red lake water became clear and clean again.
Only a blood lotus flower remained floating in the lake, emitting a strange red light.
The lake spirit in the air looked at the blood red lotus, and his expression was burning and crazy.
"When ......"
The lake spirit hurriedly struck the gong in his hand, and with the sound of the gong, more than a dozen villagers who were originally standing quietly next to the jade spring cut open their chests in unison, dug out their hearts, and threw them onto the blood lotus in the lake.
Those villagers' movements were too fast and too abrupt, and Ye Qing and Xiao Yang couldn't stop them even if they wanted to.
After dissecting their hearts and lungs, the villagers naturally lost their lives, only to see the big fish in the air swing their whiskers, entangle more than a dozen villagers who lost their lives, pull them into their mouths, crunch and chew, and splash out of their mouths full of blood, which is extremely cruel.
At this time, I saw the blood lotus flower in the lake, thirteen petals stretched and closed, as if mouthful, biting more than a dozen hearts on the lotus flower, devouring them all.
After devouring more than a dozen hearts, the lotus flower became more and more delicate, flashing with a bewitching light, and the fragrance was overflowing.
"Whew...... It's so fragrant!" Even though they were far away, Ye Qing and Xiaoyang also smelled a fragrant fragrance, and they only felt comfortable all over.
"What is this?" Ye Qing lowered his eyes slightly and whispered.
"I don't know, but it's not a good thing at first glance!" Xiao Yang shook his head, but there was a faint flash of greed in his lowered eyes.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yang's eyes rolled and said, "Obviously, this lake spirit is the real culprit who caused the disappearance of the villagers of Yuquan Village. ”
"Looking at this lake spirit, it should be a resentful monster, and the strength is not too strong, you and I should be able to deal with it. ”
"In this way, Brother Ye, you go and save those villagers, and I will deal with that lake spirit. ”
Ye Qing thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"
"I'll go first!" Before the words fell, Xiaoyang had already swept out, and the person was in mid-air, and a raging golden flame appeared on his body, as bright as a golden sun.
