Chapter 197: The Gathering of Corpses

Soon, Li Zhengdao and Sun Xiaoman came out together, their faces were also gloomy.

Sun Xiaoman said: "This time I confirmed, that peculiar smell should be a kind of incense, so Shi Dang was cut off in a coma, and there was no reaction." ”

Li Zhengdao's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was much sharper, and he said in an unkind tone: "This murderer can be murdered under our eyelids, but I am afraid that it will become more serious in the future, and we must find a way to stop him." ”

Ying Wuxin looked at the courtyard wall next to him, and said: "If you want to stop the murderer, it's not difficult, but we were careless before, and we didn't expect that the courtyards in this village seem to be independent of each other, but they are actually connected, and the murderer comes in through the portal of Unicom, which is equivalent to acting in the house, we have been paying attention to the outside, so naturally he will succeed, and then as long as the village chief is notified, let each household seal all the portals connected with the next door, and naturally it will be safe." ”

Li Zhengdao remembered that what he saw inside was just a door and an isolation room in the courtyard next door, and he also sighed slightly.

In the village I saw before, the courtyards inside are relatively independent, and there is no courtyard gate connection, but the village here, because the periphery of the whole village is a tube in a circle, and the courtyards near the periphery are actually interconnected, separated by a wall, and there is a door on the wall, which is equivalent to a courtyard, and the murderer can easily sneak in through the door and attack the residents inside.

It didn't take long for the village chief to come over, but he didn't say anything to complain, but the eyes of the villagers who followed him had changed and were full of suspicion.

Ying Wuxin told Shi Dang about the situation he encountered, Shi Weng sighed and said: "Alas, this is all our fault, we forgot to tell you this Daoxia, otherwise the door would have been blocked earlier, and Shi Dang would not have lost his life, you can rest assured, I will immediately order you to go down and let everyone seal the door of Unicom." ”

A few villagers who came with the old village chief are still a little unhappy, they were originally a family of people, living in a circle that is connected to each other, it is very convenient to visit the door, now it is closed, if you want to move around again, you can only go to the outside gate, you have to walk a lot more, for the villagers who are used to convenience, it is a little difficult to accept for a while.

"You fools, think about your family, will you be satisfied when your wives and children have their heads cut off and cry here in pain like Shi Kang Niang?" Shi Weng reprimanded.

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces changed, and they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they said yes and left one after another, beckoning the other villagers to follow suit.

Shi Weng's anger calmed down slightly, and he turned around and said, "Fellow Daoists, what are you going to do next?"

Ying Wuxin looked at Shi Weng's old face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "I guessed before, the murderer is very familiar with the roads in the village, and he should be hiding here, but now we have set up a trap, but he has taken advantage of the loophole, which shows that he is also smart and knows how to change the way of hunting, we will use the same method, obviously we can't catch it, but this method can still ensure your safety, but continue to use it, but our main energy may have to change direction." ”

"What do you need us to do, even if you Dao heroes command, we will definitely cooperate and actively cooperate. Shi Weng said, looking eager.

But under this eager gaze, there was also some suspicion and distrust.

You shouldn't know that it's because they haven't asked for money now, and if they ask for money, Shi Weng and the villagers will definitely treat these five people as liars.

Fortunately, the five of them were richly dressed, had an extraordinary bearing, and could also use subtle methods, did not ask for money from the village, and helped find the murderer, so the village paid some food, so naturally they would not suspect anything.

But over time, trust will be worn away little by little.

As for the murderer being in the village, Shi Weng didn't have much surprise or fear, obviously several people in the village were missing, and he also had similar guesses.

Ying Wuxin and Li Zhengdao glanced at each other, exchanged meanings, and then said: "Shi Lao still tells us all the abnormal things that happened in the village and nearby villages, maybe we know why the murderer changed from a tomb robber to a murderer, or why he robbed the tomb skull, we can find a new clue direction and directly lock the murderer." ”

The group returned to Guo Min's home, and Shi Kang's family had already begun preparations for the funeral, but it would be buried a few days later, because the village was busy sealing the door of the Unicom and digging up the corpses in the reed swamp, and there were not enough people.

In Guo Min's courtyard, the smell of herbs filled the air, everyone had breakfast together in the shade of the tree, Shi Weng drank a bowl of white porridge, and then talked to everyone about many things that happened in the village and nearby villages, anyway, he thought it was abnormal, what kind of child weighed six catties when he was born, there was a big fish of more than 100 catties when fishing, and he caught a big king eight, these are all abnormal.

It was talked about until noon, because it was all about the countryside, and everyone listened to it interestingly, and they didn't feel irritable, only Wang Banxian kept yawning on the side, looking very bored.

"Speaking of this strange thing, I think of a night a few years ago, I also heard Shi Yuliang in the village talk about, when he went home, at the entrance of the village, he saw a light in the distance of the corpse field, the light is completely different from the ordinary ghost fire, it has been moving, coming in the direction of the village, it was already late at night, Shi Yuliang was not lightly frightened, so he hid behind a piece of weed, and personally saw that the light reached the vicinity of the village, and then disappeared behind the house, as if entering the village. Shi Weng said with a smacked mouth.

"The next day he told me that he suspected that an outsider had entered the village, and I thought that there might be people passing by the village at night, so I didn't pay much attention to it, and asked everyone to see if they had lost anything at home, and finally everyone confirmed that nothing had been lost, so it could not be a thief. ”

Then Shi Yuliang said that he had encountered such things several times, but he didn't lose anything in the village, so he didn't feel at ease anymore. ”

The faces of several people changed slightly, and Ying Wuxin said: "You still have a corpse accumulation site here, are there many corpses?"

Shi Weng sighed: "Wasn't it more than a hundred years ago that the world was in turmoil, there was a great war here in our country, and the blood of the killings was all over the ground, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain. Not far from the cemetery in our village, about four or five miles, it was the place where the corpses were buried on the battlefield. Said to be buried, the corpses there are not buried deeply, this rain washes, from time to time there are corpses exposed, there is extremely heavy yin, and there are often strange sounds and ghost fires haunted, generally no one dares to pass by there at night, and the noon to go to the corpse accumulation site is also cold and uncomfortable. ”

"Corpse Accumulation, light?" Ying Wuxin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "The time when Shi Yuliang encountered strange things happened was not three years ago." ”

Shi Weng squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Yes, it is indeed three years ago, how did this Dao Master know." ”

"Trouble the village chief, we already have new clues, we will go to investigate in the afternoon, and I hope you stay in the village and supervise everyone to seal the door, don't miss anything, otherwise the murderer is likely to commit murder again." Ying Wuxin did not answer, but smiled and gave the eviction order.

Seeing noon, Shi Weng nodded and got up to leave.

"Eat first, and then let's go down and see the corpses. Ying Wuxin smiled.

The villagers' lunch is usually relatively simple, that is, to eat casually and cushion their stomachs, and they mainly eat breakfast and dinner.

But the identity of Ying Wuxin and the others is a Taoist who helps the village catch monsters, so they are naturally distinguished guests, so the lunch provided by the village is as sumptuous as the lunch, Wang Banxian and Ying Wuxin eat heartlessly, very happy.

After dinner, they went out together in the sun, asked for directions, and walked in the direction of the corpse site outside the village.

"Senior Brother Wuxin, do you suspect that our conversation was overheard?" Bai Miaozhen asked in the back.

"Whether it's or not, it's always good to keep an eye on it, especially after knowing that the murderer is cunning, we have to be more careful, otherwise we are in the village, and the murderer can kill people, and if we say it, we won't have a good face." Ying Wuxin said, looking left and right.

In the field in the afternoon, there is no human figure at all, talking here, it is much safer, and there is no need to worry about being eavesdropped.

Li Zhengdao nodded, "There is indeed a need for secrecy, and we will do the same in the future, those villagers are ordinary people, and there is no need to know about demons and monsters." ”

"Then we went to the corpse accumulation site, did we go to look for the traces of the grave robbers exhuming the corpses?" Sun Xiaoman said.

Wang Banxian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this, and looked at Ying Wuxin curiously.

Ying Wuxin said: "The tomb robbers only took away the skulls on the bone rack of the old years at first, such a corpse is not much different from the corpses in the corpse accumulation field, since the murderer is a person from the village, most of them also know the corpse accumulation place, since the skull is to be taken, why not go to the corpse accumulation site, there are more corpses there, and the burial is relatively shallow, which is far easier than robbing the tomb." If I'm not mistaken, the murderer made the skull, and the first place to go should be the place where the corpses are accumulated, and the light that Shi Yu saw at night should be the person who is moving. ”

Everyone nodded secretly, this speculation is reasonable at present, but it still needs to be verified.

A total of five or six miles of road, everyone wandered around, walked for half an hour, and finally arrived at the place where the corpses were accumulated.

Unlike the rest of the place, where there are dense weeds, there are bare dirt buns everywhere, only some weeds grow in the depressions, and they are not vigorous, and many bones that rot like white wood can be seen embedded in the earth, some are skulls, some are ribs.

A gloomy aura continues to pour out, making people feel cold all over, as if from the middle of summer, all of a sudden into the late autumn climate.

Several people are Taoists, naturally they are not afraid, the natural energy in their bodies circulates in a circle, and the discomfort is immediately dispelled, even Wang Banxian did not flinch, and walked in boldly.

The area of the corpse accumulation field is very large, covering an area of thousands of acres, and everyone walked for a while before they reached the middle position.

"There are traces of excavations there. "You should not inadvertently point to a deep pit in front of you.

Everyone walked over, there is a deep pit on the ground, more than one meter deep, about two zhang in diameter, you can see that there are many white bones at the edge of the pit, and inside the deep pit, there are seven or eight skulls, buried in muddy water, half exposed, it is the masterpiece of the rainstorm the day before yesterday, there are several skulls exposed in the hollow, there is no skull.
