In the room of the inn, Li Zhengdao told about the encounter with his uncle, and said solemnly: "Since the sect already knows Mrs. Gu's plan, in terms of the relationship between the two parties, it is impossible for the sect to sit back and watch Mrs. Gu become a Dao Zun, and the same is true for the other two major avenues, if Mrs. Gu wants to arrange the dojo again and receive the last friendship, it must be very difficult, in view of the fact that the three major gates will definitely not chase her small, she is very likely to lie dormant for the time being, waiting for the opportunity." ”

Ying Wuxin said: "We have no clues to track down at present, and even if we meet Mrs. Gu, with the current situation, we can't intervene." ”

"So, my idea is that we continue to experience and improve our strength as soon as possible, otherwise we may only be able to watch when we meet Mrs. Gu. ”

Sun Xiaoman said: "Senior brother, I will work hard." ”

"Well, I would too. Bai Miaozhen nodded.

Wang Banxian on the side raised his hand and said, "I will always follow Xiao Daoye." ”

Li Zhengdao's eyes were bright, and he smiled cheerfully: "Okay, since that's the case, let's go to the county seat, where there are many people and all kinds of news, we can use it as a temporary base to investigate the problematic places." ”

Everyone else smiled and agreed, and stood up excitedly.

After explaining the situation to the coachman, the carriage turned back, crossed the Jinshui River, and drove in the direction of Shangyang County.

"A few distinguished guests, now go to the county seat, and you can't find an inn to stay in when it's dark. "There was a coachman's voice ahead.

"It's okay, just find a place to rest, we don't mind. Lee Jeong-do responded.

"I probably remember that there was a fishing village in front of it, and we should be able to get there after dark, and we would go there and see if we could find a family willing to let us stay overnight. ”

"Good. ”

At this time, the sun was already clearly in the western sky, and it seemed that it was an hour and a half at most.

An hour and a half later, the sun went down and it got dark, but the village that the coachman had spoken of was still not seen.

After another hour of travel, it was already completely dark, and in the darkness ahead, there was finally some light.

The coachman sped up and rushed over.

It's just that when I arrived at the entrance of the village, when I saw the situation of the village, the coachman couldn't help but cry bitterly, "Oh, hey, I really have a bad memory, I forgot this, this is the tube village, the carriage can't enter at all, only a few distinguished guests can go in by themselves, I have to guard the carriage outside." ”

The five got out of the car and saw a small road next to the official road, which stretched a few hundred meters away, connecting a village.

The architecture of the village is somewhat peculiar, distributed like a large disc, the outermost courtyard wall is connected in a circle, like a tube to enclose the village, and the road into the village is only a small dirt road, but three feet wide, at most a wheelbarrow, such as a wide vehicle like a horse-drawn carriage, it is certainly impossible to enter.

Sun Xiaoman paid part of the driver's fare, and everyone walked to the village together, while the coachman led the horses, got off the official road, and began to feed the horses and drink water on the dirt road on one side.

At this time, the night was already deep, and there were only three or two houses in the village in front of them, and everyone ate some jerky and drank a little water in the carriage, so they were not too hungry, but when they saw the orange light, they still felt warm and kind, so they quickened their pace.

The entrance to the village was narrow, but there was no gate, and the five of them walked one after another, towards the house where there was light in front of them.

When passing by a fork in the road, Ying Wuxin casually looked around, this was originally a curiosity to take a casual look, but the scene he saw made him stop in an instant.

On one side of the path, there was a man lying on the ground in the darkness, as if looking for something.

After opening his eyes hard, Ying Wuxin's eyes became a little brighter, and he could see the light in the dark night, and the scene in his field of vision became clearer.

After seeing it clearly, Ying Wuxin's eyebrows jumped up suddenly, that person was lying on another person's body, I don't know what he was doing?

In the middle of the night, the lights are blind, and one person is lying on top of another person, and you don't have to think about it to know that you must be doing something bad.

Call.

With a hard step on the ground, Ying Wu's body shot out, like a ghost in the night, with a whistling wind rushing through.

Hearing the howling wind, the figure lying on his stomach raised his head suddenly, and in the dim night, a pair of eyes were as bright as a beast.

"Youkai, where to escape?" should be unintentionally shouted.

The man with eyes as bright as a beast let out a fierce roar in his throat, really like the roar of a beast, but he turned around and rushed towards a side alley, and the speed was also extremely fast.

Ying Wuxin flew over a distance of more than fifty meters and landed, and the figure had already rushed into the alley and disappeared.

Call.

Lee Jeong-do flew up to the roof of a house and stood there, looking at the buildings and roads below, but found nothing.

"Qi Lookout. ”

With golden eyes shining in his eyes, Li Zhengdao looked at the buildings and roads in front of him again, still did not find any abnormal aura, turned his head and looked around the entire village, but there was still no gain.

Li Zhengdao did not give up, still standing there, and continued to look below.

Bai Miaozhen was on guard behind, and Sun Xiaoman had already flown up and chased after Ying Wuxin.

"What's the situation?"

"It seems that this person is injured, Senior Sister Sun will check it?" Ying looked around vigilantly and kicked the man lying on the ground.

Sun Xiaoman checked it, shook his head and said, "There is no pulse anymore." ”

Ying Wuxin gritted his teeth, "This village is not big, scattered, we may be able to catch up with the murderer." ”

Li Zhengdao flew down, came to Wang Banxian's side, and said, "Without further ado, everyone will act separately, don't let the real murderer escape." ”

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen each nodded, scattered and chased towards the path, Li Zhengdao took Wang Banxian to chase out in a direction, Ying Wuxin glanced at the corpse, also chose a direction, and chased out.

The light of the few houses in the village disappeared, as if they were sleeping, and they were afraid of hearing movement, so they blew out the lights, and whatever it was, the whole village fell into darkness.

The houses in front of them have become shadowy, because the distribution is scattered and messy, and it should be a little dizzy to turn unintentionally, stop and think about the path that has been walked, only to feel abnormal, the road in this village is obviously designed, outsiders are not familiar with it, it is easy to get lost when walking inside, and the more you go around, the more confused you become.

Ying Wuxin, who realized that something was wrong, did not continue to walk, flew over a house nearby, and looked at the nearby houses, which were blurry in the dark, even if he was a Taoist, it was difficult to see clearly. The roads in the village are very complicated, and there are often houses or high walls on both sides, so if someone hides in a dark place, even if they stand on a high place, they will not be able to see it.

Seeing such a situation, Ying Wuxin gritted his teeth and screamed in his heart, whistled, and returned to the original place, naturally walking on the roof and flying directly over.

After a while, on the roof of the village, other people also appeared, and everyone was also lost, so they could only go up to the roof to check, see the situation below, and hear Ying Wuxin's signal, and also returned.

Floating to the ground, Ying had no intention of looking to the side, and couldn't help but be startled again, the ground was dim, but there was nothing, the corpse that didn't see the face clearly, it was gone.

Li Zhengdao and the others returned and were also amazed to see this scene.

"The murderer came back and took the body away, which is a bit unreasonable!" Li Zhengdao wondered.

Ying Wuxin nodded, "It's really unreasonable, if it's just an ordinary murder, if it's just an ordinary murder, and if it's bumped into by outsiders, the murderer will hide when he escapes, and the body will definitely not move again, after all, it's very likely to be found when he comes back, and it's not easy to get a corpse away." ”

"Then why did the murderer do this?" Sun Xiaoman said, "I didn't have time to examine it carefully just now, and now that the body is gone, will there be any clues on the corpse that will expose the murderer, so he has to take the risk of taking the corpse away." ”

"It's very likely, of course there's another possibility, that murderer needs a corpse, and I saw his actions just now, it doesn't look like he just finished killing someone. The corpse has no pulse, indicating that the murderer has been killing people for a while, he has been lying on the corpse's body, I don't know what he is doing, looking at his body is obviously human, but his eyes have become beast-like, indicating that this is a person's gradual demonic words, or beast-like, what it may need is the corpse, to carry out some kind of evil practice. Ying Wuxin said: "So the corpse just now is definitely not the first, there are more people who have been killed around here, Senior Sister Sun, you checked the corpse just now, did you find anything else." ”

"I really want to smell a strange smell, it's not fragrant, it's not smelly, it's just a little sour, but there has always been a strong fishy smell in this village, and my sense of smell has been affected, and I can't be sure what it is. Sun Xiaoman rubbed his nose and said.

Everyone sniffed their noses, and then realized that there was indeed a strong fishy smell in the village, not the fresh fishy smell of live fish, but the fishy smell of dried fish with some slight stench.

When they first entered the village, because the wind had been favorable, and the village had the smell of rotting meat and fermented feces and urine, they hadn't noticed it, but when they paid attention at the moment, they finally realized that the whole village here had a smell of dried fish.

"The smell of dried fish is much better than the smell of feces and urine, and people who really smoked it just now are uncomfortable. Wang Banxian said.

"That's the smell inside the latrine is spreading outward, it should be changing, we had better find a place to stay, otherwise the heavy rain will come down, and it will become a soup chicken after a while." Li Zhengdao said solemnly.

"Since someone has been demonized here, the county town is estimated to be temporarily unable to go, so I'll go and inform the coachman and let him leave as soon as possible, so as not to have anything happen in the rainstorm. "There should be no heart.

"Then let's go find a family to spend the night. Wang Banxian pinched his nose and said.

Bai Miaozhen recommended herself and went with Wang Banxian.
