Chapter 529: The Graveyard
Most of the houses in the village are made of grass and trees, but the houses of the patriarch are made of stone.
It even covers a larger area than other houses.
Now Su Jiu and the others are on a big tree not far behind this house.
After hearing what Su Jiu said, Chu Luochen's eyes swept Su Jiu with a slightly cold look.
Su Jiu didn't notice it, she was still immersed in her own thoughts, where did she definitely hear about that voice just now, and even the figure of that person, she felt a little familiar.
Chu Luochen retracted his gaze and said in a light tone, "Let's take a look at it in the evening." There was an enchantment on the upper floors of their house, and it was never wise to act too blatantly during the day. “
In other words, it is easy to get caught.
Immediately after that, the two of them left the place, and as they walked, Su Jiu said the information he got from Lan Xiaoxi.
In Su Jiu's opinion, this patriarch is obviously not a good person, but the men and women in this village seem to believe in this patriarch.
"There's no news of Red Aya Makoto?"
Su Jiu shook his head: "Lan Xiaoxi claims that she has never seen such a person. Combined with the fact that we have just explored the patriarch's mansion and know that Red Aya Zhenjun is not among them, I guess she should have either been caught and hidden, or she had already left. “
Chu Luojian's eyes drooped slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he slowly spoke again, "Where's the Boundless Grass?"
"In two days there will be a meeting of the Holy Women. “
On the way back, Su Jiu and the others happened to pass by a circular and empty square, when they came, there was nothing unusual here, and when they came back, they suddenly found that there were so many young men here.
The men had piles of measured timber on their hands, and it looked as if they had just been cut down.
"Why is this year's altar so big? The Holy Maiden's Meeting will start in two days, is it really too late to build it now?"
"Ask less, do more, it's too late, we all have to finish it, otherwise, I don't think you will like to try the taste of being punished. “
Of course, there are some gossip people who say, "I heard that this year's sacrifice seems to be extraordinarily large." “
Speaking of offerings, someone came to the scene and said, "You're never curious, what's in those boxes?"
"Curious about what, don't you know that people who are too curious often die the fastest?"
The man stopped talking, and this incident was quickly skipped and replaced with other topics. “
Su Jiu grasped the key point in this.
How much is the sacrificial character out of the ordinary?
Probably because the sun had risen, the number of people in the village gradually increased.
The girls who went into the mountains to collect medicine also came back one after another.
Su Jiu and the others circled around the village again before they began to walk forward.
At this time, Su Jiu's expression was not very good.
"It's strange that there aren't any formations in this village. Could it be that Red Aya Makun is really gone?"
Su Jiu quickly shook his head again, "No, Boundless Grass is still here, with the character of Hongyan Zhenjun, it is impossible to leave like this." ”
Chu Luochen glanced at Su Jiu, and a cold voice slowly sounded in her ears, "Among the men who built the altar just now, two of them should be from the Law Enforcement Hall." ”
Su Jiu's face pale slightly.
"Those two people have already given us information. ”
Su Jiu recalled, the movements and expressions of the group just now, it seemed that two people really looked at them, I thought they were unintentional, but I didn't expect it to be intentional?
The clues in Su Jiu's mind were dotted together, and the most crucial sentence they said was that there were too many sacrifices.
She frowned, "What they want to express is that Red Aya Zhenjun may have been mixed in with the sacrifice?"
Chu Luochen nodded: "Yes, this is possible." “
"But how did you know those two people from the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"When I was in the Law Enforcement Hall, I just happened to encounter it. “
The corners of Su Jiu's lips hooked slightly, it turned out that he was not completely different from people.
In this way, it can be determined that Red Aya must have been captured by them, and among them, they did not use the formation to hide it, but they used a magic weapon to hide or control the cultivation.
It is very easy to conceal cultivation, and there are many such magic weapons, but the most commonly used is the lock spirit chain.
After all, it's a must-have in every prison cell.
However, a monk who can lock a cultivator like Red Aya, thinking that this spirit chain is not of a low level.
Su Jiu's mind flipped, about the cell or something, obviously he couldn't ask Lan Xiaoxi directly, after all, it was too dazzling, no matter how simple Lan Xiaoxi was, I was afraid that he would also notice something wrong.
So the two of them wasted almost the entire day, going to the area where there might be a cell, but still found nothing.
The sun had gradually set in the west, and Su Jiu's thin lips were getting tighter and tighter.
"Uncle Shi, do you think there will be no prison cell here at all?"
Chu Luochen shook his head, "As far as I know, even a small place has a place similar to where prisoners are held, although the population of the Wuyi tribe is not large, but it is also a person who accumulates a clan, this possibility is almost non-existent." “
There was a different color in Su Jiu's eyes, and it flashed, "That... Is it possible that they did not set up the prison in the village at all? “
Chu Luochen glanced at Su Jiu, and his surprise flashed.
......
There are two entrances and exits in the north and south of this village, and the two of them entered from the south entrance, and they didn't find anything abnormal, so the only thing left was the north entrance.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the two couldn't help but speed up their movements.
Before they could reach the north entrance, a smile suddenly appeared in Su Jiu's eyes.
Chu Luochen glanced at Su Jiu and quietly withdrew his gaze.
Not only Su Jiu, but also Chu Luochen noticed the difference between this side and the south entrance.
"It's a formation. “
Getting closer, Su Jiu found that there were people guarding the entrance and exit in the north, but the guards were not strict, and some people were even dozing.
Su Jiu's smile faded a little.
He and Chu Luochen hid their breath together, and their figures flashed into the poison valley in the north.
Seeing the scenery in front of him, Su Jiu's pupils shrank.
To say that this is purgatory on earth is nothing more than that.
The forest in the north is completely different from the forest in the south, if the poison valley in the south is a fairyland shrouded in purple mist, then the poison valley in the north is like a hell of a nose.
I don't know what I have experienced here, what Su Jiu saw was a large number of dead trees, charred black earth, rotting corpses of various demon beasts, and occasionally white bones about human beings.
In addition to the whistling wind, there are also crows making oozing cries on the dry branches.
Su Jiu stepped on the withered yellow branches and leaves, and could still hear the "squeak" sound from the soles of his feet.
All this made Su Jiu feel extremely uncomfortable.
Not long after walking, Su Jiu found a patch of cemeteries.
There are so many tombstones on this cemetery that normal people feel creepy when they see it.
There was not a single word on these tombstones, only crooked inserts everywhere, and the grass around the tombstones had grown so high that it seemed to have been long and no one had taken care of it.
With cold faces, the two of them walked in the direction of the formation they perceived.
Chu Luochen, who was originally walking behind Su Jiu, didn't know when, he had already walked in front of her, the traceless sword in his hand exuded a faint golden halo, and his eyebrows were full of solemnity.
And Su Jiu had already held the Frost Purple Pole Sword in his hand.
