Volume 1: The Beginning of Cultivation Chapter 60: Night Investigation
That night, Wang Liang, who had been picked up by a good student, was wearing a new and fitting cloth clothes, listening to the sound of Aunt Cui sleeping in the next room, took out the ink ugly sword from the wooden box, and quietly went out.
I don't know if it's Wang Liang's illusion, he feels that the bloody gas that permeates here is more intense than during the day, just smelling like this, he feels sick to his stomach.
Using his spiritual power to forcibly suppress the discomfort of his body, Wang Liang strolled quietly through the village, preparing to find a vacant lot, and then dig down to find out if there was anything.
"If this was a battlefield before, there should be something down here...... Right?"
To be honest, Wang Liang himself didn't know if this decision was right or not, where did he have the experience to solve things by himself when he had just started his cultivation?
Wang Liang suddenly remembered Tongji and them, and he didn't know how to deal with them if they came here with their experience?
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Liang also thought about it to no avail, so he just did it according to his own ideas!
Wang Liang walked to the place where he had entered the village during the day, took a tentative step out of the village, and then sniffed carefully.
Sure enough, just at this distance, the extremely thick bloody qi that existed in the village was not at all outside the village!
"The problem should be in the village......"
Wang Liang muttered to himself, then turned back to the village.
After walking for a while, Wang Liang finally found a vacant land, and when there was no one around, Wang Liang was ready to dig up the land here to see.
Although Wang Liang doesn't have any tools for digging soil, he has an ink sword!
"Excuse me......"
Wang Liang touched the ink ugly sword, as if to persuade him, and then stabbed the sword heavily towards the ground.
I don't know if it's because of the soft geology here, or because of the sharpness of the ink sword, Wang Liang only feels that he is extremely easy to dig, as if he is in the water, although there is resistance, it can't be hindered at all!
It was only a moment of work, and the soil that Wang Liang lifted was already piled up to the height of one person.
But the harvest is not to be talked about, there is nothing under the soil.
There were no corpses, no weapons, just like ordinary land, and there was nothing underneath.
Wang Liang unwillingly continued to dig for a while, and the earth he dug up was almost piled up to build a house, and the pit in the ground was deep enough to bury a few large living people!
"No?"
The speculation was overturned, and Wang Liang suddenly didn't know where to start to investigate.
"There's nothing underground? Did I dig deep enough? Or is this really not some battlefield remnant?"
Wang Liang always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Since he can't think of it, let's think about it slowly, he plans to bury the soil back first, so as not to be noticed by the villagers.
But halfway through the burial, Wang Liang finally realized that something was wrong.
He sniffed the smell of the dirt, and felt that the smell of blood in the soil seemed to be much heavier than the smell in the air!
"Is it ......?"
Wang Liangchao's eyes gathered spiritual power, and then looked into the earth.
This is a trick he discovered from the miscellaneous records, the ability to concentrate spiritual power towards the eyes and other physical senses can temporarily bless this place, Wang Liang's night vision ability is not bad, so he can act for so long in the black light. But no matter how good it is, he can't treat it as if it were day at night, and the interference of the smell of blood causes him to ignore a detail.
Now that he had gathered his spiritual power in his eyes, Wang Liang could finally see the situation in the soil clearly.
Blood!
Blood everywhere!
The blood, which had dried up to the point of blackening, seeped into the soil and was everywhere!
Wang Liang looked at the red mountains of blood and soil left in the black, and then looked at the black blood and soil under the deep pit he dug out was still clearly visible, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
"Hey, was this a tomb mountain before?!!" Wang Liang gasped, "How many people do you have to die to make the blood seep so deeply?!"
If you think about it carefully, this vacant land is just a place that Wang Liang found at random, but if it is like this at the bottom of the entire village......
"This was never a battlefield before!"
Wang Liang calmed down and checked the soil, and found that the closer the soil layer was to the ground, the more bright red the color of the blood became, and the place where it was only a palm away from the ground, the color of the blood seemed to have just left the body!
If it were a battlefield, even if the blood seeped underground for so many years, it would never be the case!
"There's something wrong with this village!"
It's unbelievable that such a place can still be inhabited by living people?
Wang Liang felt that he had been trapped!
It's not just a yellow letter!
I don't know how deep the blood seeps from this village alone, and I don't need to think about it to know what the danger is!
Wang Liang wanted to turn around and leave now, the farther away from this village the better, but when he thought of Aunt Cui's smile, he hesitated a little......
Aunt Cui treats him well, and he just leaves, isn't it too unauthentic?
“...... Let's investigate first! It's impossible for the people of this village not to know anything!"
Scared away by the blood in the soil? Wang Liang can't afford to lose this person!
After burying the blood back in the soil, he prepared to go to other places to see what he found while there was still time before dawn.
In the lonely village, I can't see a little light, and it's thanks to the fact that Wang Liang's eyesight has increased after cultivating his true life, otherwise he really can't recognize how to go this way.
But...... Not everyone has fallen asleep, either.
Wang Liang walked for a while, and finally saw a place where there was still light!
It's a mourning hall!
In the mourning hall, there were still women's cries from time to time, followed by men scolding.
Wang Liang found out, was shocked, and hid in the back of the house to listen quietly to the movement inside.
The woman's crying voice was a little hoarse, as if she had been crying for a long time, and she kept complaining in a hoarse voice: "It's all your fault! You still have to take him out knowing that there are robbers outside! If it weren't for you, how could my son have died!"
The man's voice was a little angry: "You mother-in-law are embarrassed to say?! If you weren't used to this bastard all day long, why would he be so lawless? But this bastard is good! Raise your head to the sky and rush to the sky more than the robbers! And say that you are too embarrassed to get in the way of Uncle Ben?! With this attitude, how could they let this bastard go!
This bastard doesn't know where to learn the swear words, and the robber he scolded is bloody, and he can't wait to tear him alive! Now that he can save the body and bring it back to me, it can be regarded as the virtue of our ancestors!"
"But he's your son!" the woman's voice was painful and desperate, "He's the only seedling in your family!
The man said sharply: "Help, how to save? Seven or eight big men, all with knives! I will save my life? I almost can't come back!"
Big deal, I don't have this son! Anyway, I'm in good health now, and I can do it if I want another one!"
"What bastard are you talking about! He's your son!" the woman cried, "My own flesh and blood! In front of his corpse, you still said you wanted one!
"Then is he like talking?!These are not all you are used to!" The man was impatient, "Sleepy, go back and rest! I have to drag him into the river tomorrow! I can't be cremated when he dies outside, I feel annoyed by the way he looks!"
"Sleep to death, forget it!"
The woman cursed, then continued to cry in a low voice.
Wang Liang heard a footstep walking away outside, thinking that the owner of the house should be gone, and then sorted out his thoughts.
It's not complicated, the man took his son out to do something, but he encountered robbers on the way, and then the son who was spoiled by his mother commanded the robbers, and his temper was more rushed than the robbers, and then he successfully sent the head!
According to village custom, because his son died and could not be cremated, he had to put the body on a bamboo raft and float away along the river tomorrow.
Now the body is still in her own home, and the woman is supposed to be the mother of the corpse.
Wang Liang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't notice anything missing, and he didn't feel wrong. Listening to the crying voice of the woman inside getting quieter and quieter, and then disappeared, but there was no footsteps coming, I thought that I should be too tired to fall asleep, so I carefully leaned out and walked in.
In the humble mourning hall, a corpse lay in the middle, and the candles on both sides lit up the entire mourning hall.
The corpse was a little white, and the wounds on the body were deep and bone-piercing!
It must have not been dead for long, and you can still see blood slowly flowing out of the wound. The body and clothes of the deceased had obviously been cleaned, and they looked clean, but the plain white clothes oozing blood matched the white skin of the deceased!
Facing the deceased, there was an elderly woman kneeling there and falling asleep! Her eyes were a little swollen, and the tears on her face were clearly visible, obviously she had been crying for too long and was too tired.
Wang Liang looked around, and except for the miserable corpse, he didn't see anything noteworthy.
He is not afraid of the corpse, even if the corpse is cheated, Wang Liang is confident that he can cut it down with one sword!
But apparently the deceased was not capable of this.
Wang Liang stood quietly in place for a while, and did not find anything else, but still did not disturb the woman's rest, and exited the mourning hall.
Originally, he wanted to go to see if there were any clues elsewhere, but suddenly realized that it seemed to be dawn, so he stopped searching tonight and prepared to return to Aunt Cui's house.
When he just returned to Aunt Cui's house, the sky was already a little bright, and Wang Liang actually collided with Aunt Cui, who had just gotten up and left the house.
"Ah, did you get up so early?"
Wang Liang smiled calmly: "I can't sleep, I want to get up and walk around!"
"Don't run around without me!" Aunt Cui said with some worry, "There are people in the village who are dying, and you will be dragged to the river today!
Wang Liang listened to Aunt Cui's words, and was worried about how to mention this matter, but Aunt Cui talked about it first.
"Is that the custom you said Aunt Cui?" Wang Liang pretended to be very interested, "Can I go and have a look?"
Aunt Cui was a little unhappy: "What are you going to do? The village is very taboo for people who are dying, who will join in that fun! You little doll should not make a mess!"
"I don't want to make a mess, I just want to go and see it!"
Wang Liang endured the nausea and made a coquettish gesture towards Aunt Cui, but Aunt Cui couldn't resist him, so she simply agreed to take him to see it.
