Chapter 578: Strange People

"Why are you doing lightning and thunder, do you want to be struck by lightning after you do too many bad things?" asked Xiao Shuai curiously.

"Xiaoshuai, don't interject, uncle, you continue. Mu Yu said.

"Well, yes, it's the sound of lightning and thunder, but it's actually more like the sound of thunder rolling in the clouds, and the ground is shaking slightly. Because the Heavenly Burial Valley was originally a very strange place, there were often all kinds of strange rumbling sounds, and it was rumored that it was the Lord of Yama who was opening the door to the ghost gate to welcome the dead ghosts, so everyone was used to it, so we didn't care. Old Xu tilted his head and said.

"Does Heavenly Burial Valley have that kind of rumble very often?"

Mu Yu felt that things were getting more and more strange, and threw a coffin down to the Heavenly Burial Valley, and there were thunder and lightning sparks all the way, what kind of trouble? And Mu Yu went down to take a look a few days ago, but he didn't find anything, didn't they go to the same mass burial valley?

"It's not very often, anyway, every time a dead person is sent into the Heavenly Burial Valley, there will be that kind of lightning and thunder rumbling under the Heavenly Burial Valley, and we all think it is normal. However, when Old Man Zhao was sent in that day, the rumbling sound was especially loud. Old Xu Tou said with great certainty.

What kind of place is the Mass Grave Valley, which makes Mu Yu very puzzled. For a long time, the nearby villagers had thrown the coffin directly into the mass grave valley, but Mu Yu not only did not find a single figure at the bottom of the valley, but also did not find a ghost, let alone any lightning and thunder.

Could it be that it is the dead that can make the Mass Grave Valley change?

"What the hell went wrong?"

Mu Yu held his chin, he originally thought that this matter was related to the ghost gate people, but he didn't find any trace of the ghost gate people, and the mysterious guy behind Chen Erzhuang was unknown, so he didn't know where to start.

"It doesn't matter what his problems are, anyway, he has the strength to work when he is full. "Xiaoshuai ate very happily.

Lao Xu Tou pushed all the meat to Xiao Shuai, for fear of snubbing the fairy pet.

"Anyway, now we don't dare to go to the Heavenly Burial Valley, none of us think about Old Man Zhao's affairs......

Old Xu Tou was talking about Xingtou, but then he stopped suddenly, his body shook twice, and then he fell under the chair with a "snap".

This sudden situation caught Mu Yu by surprise!

Mu Yu hurriedly rushed over, helped Lao Xu Tou up, and asked eagerly, "Uncle, are you okay?"

Old Xu's face turned red, as if he was strangled by something, but there was nothing on his neck.

"I—I'm so uncomfortable...... Someone seems to be choking my neck. It took Lao Xu Tou a long time to say this, and then his whole body became breathless, and it was difficult to breathe.

"The Wooden Man's Gu spell took effect on him. Xiao Shuai swallowed the last bite of meat, not surprised at all.

Mu Yu was shocked, he remembered the wooden people who were hanging in Chen Erzhuang's shop, could it really be like what Xiao Shuai said, Lao Xu Tou's life has been transferred to the wooden people?

Mu Yu put Lao Xu Tou on the bed, Xiao Shuai jumped on Lao Xu Tou's chest, knocked on Lao Xu Tou's chest, listened attentively for a while, and said to Mu Yu seriously: "Look, I have already said that this kind of Gu technique is very evil and cannot be prevented. ”

"I—Am I going to die?" asked Old Xu Tou in horror, he was out of breath as he spoke, and the wrinkles on his face were crumpled.

"Don't worry, not yet. Xiao Shuai said seriously. Old Xu Tou's face had just relaxed, and Xiao Shuai added another sentence if he wanted to die: "You will die tomorrow evening." ”

Old Xu's eyes widened, and he was completely frightened.

"Don't talk nonsense, uncle, don't worry, I won't let you die!" Mu Yu tugged at Xiao Shuai's tail and told him not to say unpleasant things all the time.

This guy just can't keep his mouth shut, and always says something frustrating.

Old Xu Tou's breath became weaker and weaker, and at this time, Mu Yu also felt that the vitality on Old Xu Tou's body was quietly disappearing.

"He looks like he's being hung up, do we want to save him, do we have to go to Chen Erzhuang's shop and cut off the neck of the wooden man there?"

"It's useless, cutting it off may just make his face not so red, and he will still die tomorrow evening. Xiao Shuai shook his head.

"So what are you waiting for? Cut the rope first, so that he doesn't have to be in such pain. Mu Yu turned around and was about to walk towards Chen Erzhuang's house.

But Xiao Shuai said: "Wait, wait, I have a way to temporarily ease his pain." Old man, you are lucky to meet Ben Shuai. Endure a little pain, and it will be fine all at once. ”

Xiao Shuai stretched out his little hand, and the tips of its little fingers popped out claws as thin as cicada wings. Although this claw looks thin, it is very sharp, and it is usually used to cut the armor of monsters, or to cut food for cooking, but it is basically not used.

One of its sharp claws gently probed into Old Xu's throat without encountering any resistance. This claw was thin and sharp, mortal skin was not worth mentioning in front of it, it was easily penetrated, and at the same time, a moon-white halo appeared on Xiao Shuai's claws, enveloping Lao Xutou's throat.

"Shhhh

Old Xu Tou inhaled sharply, the flushed look on his face gradually faded, and then sat up and gasped for air.

"Thank you, thank you, sir. Lao Xu said with a grateful face.

"Hey, thank me. Xiao Shuai had already retracted his claws and jumped back on Mu Yu's shoulder.

"Thank you, Lord Handsome. Old Xu Tou hurriedly said.

Although Old Xu Tou doesn't need to feel uncomfortable anymore, the breath on his body is still very weak, and his vitality is still gradually passing.

Mu Yu looked at the moon-white halo on Lao Xu Tou's neck, he knew that Xiao Shuai's doing this was not a long-term solution, and if he wanted to save Lao Xu Tou and the villagers who were about to be deprived of their lives, he had to bring the person behind Chen Erzhuang to justice.

"Uncle, you are resting here now, don't go anywhere until we come back!" Mu Yu had already rushed out of Lao Xutou's house and flew towards Chen Erzhuang's shop.

At this moment, the sky has already darkened, and every house has lit lanterns. But when Mu Yu stopped over Chen Erzhuang's yard, he found that Chen Erzhuang's house did not have any lights.

Although the moon hung in the treetops tonight, it seemed that it could not shine on this small courtyard that sold dead people's things. The entire courtyard where Chen Erzhuang lived had no light at all, on the contrary, there was a yin qi shrouded in it, which made people's hearts feel cold.

Mu Yu landed on the roof of the house where Chen Erzhuang was during the day, and there were many wooden figures hanging on the roof beams under his feet.

Xiao Shuai had already shrunk back into Mu Yu's clothes, and stabbed two small holes in Mu Yu's clothes, just revealing two small eyes.

It was so quiet that not even the chirping of crickets could be heard, and the wind blew and whipped the wooden feather clothes to hunt.

Mu Yu stared at the empty courtyard, there were still fragments of camphor wood in the yard, and some unfinished wooden figures, but the four guys were gone.

A pungent musty smell came from the corner of the yard, the disgusting paint that colored the wooden figures.

Mu Yu had already fallen silently and landed outside Chen Erzhuang's door.

He stretched out his formation and listened carefully to the movements around him, while his attention was all on Chen Erzhuang's room.

There was no sound in the room, Chen Erzhuang was just a mortal, if he rested, at least there should be a sound of breathing, but Mu Yu didn't hear any regular sounds. He cautiously pushed open the door and found it unlocked.

This was the second time he had come to this room today, and to be honest, he didn't like to come to such a gloomy place in the middle of the night to check on the situation, but at this time, for the sake of Lao Xu Tou and the lives of the other villagers, he had to find a way to solve all this.

He looked through the crack in the door, and it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. He was about to push the door open when suddenly a pair of eyes appeared in the middle of the crack in the door!

Those eyes actually flickered in the darkness, and they appeared so abruptly that Mu Yu really didn't expect it, because he didn't notice any life in the room at first.

"Damn, Nima!"

Xiao Shuai originally made two holes in Mu Yu's clothes to expose its small eyes, but he didn't expect to directly meet the eyes in the crack of Chen Erzhuang's door, which scared it so much that its hair exploded.

The Mu Yu Shadow Sword was already horizontal on his chest, and the whole person retreated, landing next to the wooden man in the courtyard who had not yet finished carving, and watched Chen Erzhuang's room vigilantly.

At the same time, he felt that the courtyard was suddenly enveloped by an eerie aura, which was so powerful that he even smelled a hint of danger.

"Squeak!"

The door of Chen Erzhuang's room had been opened, and a figure slowly walked out. With the help of the blue light on the Shadow Splitting Sword, Mu Yu saw the figure in front of him clearly, and his pupils shrank.

It turned out to be the old man Zhao who was lying in the coffin in the store in front of him!

At this moment, Old Man Zhao showed a strange smile, his eyes were very cold, revealing a killing intent, not at all like the eyes of an old man who was about to die.

"What are you, why do you want to harm the innocent villagers here?" Mu Yu asked in a deep voice. He thought quickly in his heart, because he didn't feel the breath of a person from the other party, he had no vitality, no cultivation fluctuations, nothing, as if the old lady Zhao in front of him was a walking corpse.

"Truly, truly. ”

Old lady Zhao slowly raised her feet, stepped out of the room, and staggered towards Mu Yu, without speaking, a strange laugh appeared in her mouth, which sounded eerie.

Mu Yu only felt the cold killing intent on the other party's body, but did not give him a sense of danger, the real danger came from something waiting for an opportunity in the dark, not the person in front of him who had come back from the dead.

He didn't take the lead and wanted to figure out the situation.

But Old Lady Zhao suddenly pulled out a file and stabbed at Mu Yu leisurely, the file was used to polish wood, and it was not very sharp.

"Huh?"

Mu Yu easily dodged with a tilt of his body, this old lady Zhao's skills were too slow, although his eyes showed a fierce light, but he shot lightly, no different from ordinary people, he felt that an ordinary young man could dodge, what was going on?

Old lady Zhao didn't stab with a knife, and the whole person almost fell to the ground. But he didn't give up, still smiling weirdly, and stabbed Mu Yu with a file tremblingly.

"This is completely an ordinary person, that mysterious guy is not so weak, is he?"

Mu Yu, a distracted cultivator, felt particularly ridiculous when he confronted Old Lady Zhao, he felt that he could put this guy flat with a shock of his hand, but because the other party was a mortal in the end, he still didn't make a heavy hand, just slapped his palm on the back of Old Lady Zhao's neck, trying to knock him out.

However, Old Lady Zhao was just slapped to the ground by Mu Yu, and there was no sign of fainting at all, so she slowly got up and walked towards Mu Yu with perseverance.

"Forget it, just a mortal. "Mu Yu didn't want to entangle with Old Lady Zhao, he came here to take those wooden people off the beams.

On his tiptoes, he had already rushed into the room where Chen Erzhuang lived, and the Split Shadow Sword had already illuminated the entire room.

Mu Yu raised his head, but the beams were already empty!

All the wooden people are gone!
