Chapter 20: The Dead?

A few days later, Mo Ji took Lin Chunxi and a few others to a place called Xiaoli Village on the edge of Miaonan. Mo had time to signal everyone not to enter the village easily, and chose to settle down in the woods five miles outside the village.

After choosing a temporary foothold, Mo had a brief assignment for everyone, it turned out that this Xiaoli Village was a secret foothold in the Miaonan area, no matter what the situation of the Miaonan rudder was, it was required to remain silent forever to ensure that intelligence and important people could be transmitted at the most critical moment.

In view of the unclear situation of the rudder of the righteous road in the Miaonan area, Mo Ji and the others did not dare to contact people rashly, so they first came to Xiaoli Village to understand the situation. After confirming that there was nothing wrong around, Mo had time to take Lin Chunxi, Chen Yiyao, and Lu Lingxian to the vicinity of Xiaoli Village to conduct reconnaissance, and arranged for Xue Lingheng, Song Yan, and Lu Yiru to ambush at the edge of the woods outside the village, ready to reinforce or respond at any time, leaving Tao Ye and Luo Yifei to stay in the temporary camp.

After everything was arranged, everyone went their separate ways according to the established arrangement. Mo Ji, Lin Chunxi, Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling have the best light body kung fu, so they take the lead, and they strictly order everyone before setting off, this place is already considered to have entered the Miaonan region, and the demon path will appear at any time, so everyone must be vigilant.

After Mo Ji and the others came to the edge of the woods at the edge of the village, they did not act immediately, but hid their own, it was just after early morning, it was not yet noon, the sky was clear, the temperature was suitable, and the wildflowers on the roadside exuded a burst of fragrance, and the fragrance was refreshing.

But at this time, everyone has no time to enjoy the scenery of the countryside in Miaojiang, although several people have not had the experience of going out to perform tasks in the previous year, but they have experienced the teachings of their respective teachers in the past, and the atmosphere here seems to be calm, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent.

Because after monitoring for a long time, no signs of anyone entering or leaving the village were found, and there was no movement of birds, grasses and insects around the village, which was an extremely unusual situation. Mo Ji's heart tightened, and he made a gesture to everyone, and Xue Lingheng, Song Yan, and Lu Yiru immediately dispersed and began to prepare in advance in order to deal with possible dangers.

After receiving the order, Lin Chunxi, Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling began to disperse and outflank the village, keeping a distance not far from each other, not only to avoid being surrounded by the enemy at one time, but also to rush to the rescue in time after their companions were in distress.

Mo was at the front of the line, and the other three followed him, keeping an eye on his gestures. Mo Ji closed his eyes and began to probe the movement in the village, he found that he could faintly feel the breath of a living person, but this feeling seemed to be absent, I don't know if someone was suspicious, and he couldn't judge the identity of the other party's friend or foe.

Mo Ji felt that there seemed to be no obvious traces of ambush in the village, and there was no point in hiding any longer, so he decided to take a risk, he gave the three people behind him a gesture, Lin Chunxi and the others received the order, lurking behind the surrounding bunkers, always paying attention to the movements around Mo Ji, and after getting ready, Mo Ji showed his figure and walked straight towards the village.

There was still no movement in the village, so I didn't dare to be careless, walked slowly, and paid attention to the surrounding situation from time to time. After approaching, I found that the streets of the village were in a mess, the people in the village seemed to have fled in a hurry, most of the shops were not closed, and luggage, melons and fruits were scattered all over the place.

Mo Ji came to the door of a pharmacy and stopped, this is the secret contact station, but at a glance, there is no one in the store. Mo Ji made a vigilant gesture to Lin Chunxi, Chen Yiyao, and Lu Ling behind him, then looked around, turned around and entered the pharmacy.

The medicinal materials on the medicine cabinet and the ledgers and prescriptions on the table were scattered all over the ground, and most of the tables, chairs and benches fell to the ground. From the time I entered the village to the present, I haven't seen anyone, which is really incredible. Mo Ji secretly uses internal force to protect himself, and is ready to deal with sudden situations at all times.

I didn't have time to search the backyard of the pharmacy, there was a well in the courtyard, and the water tank next to it had broken a big hole, and the water trail had dried up, it seemed that the incident had happened a long time ago. Mo had time to come to the door of the bungalow in the backyard, and saw that the door was empty, and the inside was dim, Mo Ji faintly felt that there was a figure shaking in the house, and whispered a secret word, "Qingfeng is illiterate."

But no one in the room answered, Mo Ji was alert, and held his right hand on the hilt of the sword behind his back, his sword was called "Ling Yin", and the forgetful sword sensed the master's nervousness, and it was also buzzing in Mo Ji's hand, Mo Ji knew that the Ling Yin Sword must have sensed something, so he stared at the door of the house and gently opened the door with his left hand.

With the squeaky slightly dry friction sound, the door slowly opened, Mo and tempted to use his right leg lightly, and then quickly withdrawn, after seeing nothing unusual, slowly walked into the door, Mo and noticed that there was no sound of insects in the courtyard before entering the door, it was summer, there were many grass insects in the Miaojiang area, so quiet at this time, the atmosphere was weird, and the art master was bold, and gradually flashed into the house.

The tables, chairs, and benches in the room were overturned, and there were a few fragments of tea utensils, but they didn't look like signs of a fight. Suddenly, Mo had time to ask about the smell of blood in the room, and the Spirit Hidden Sword was shaking incessantly.

It was only in time to find that there was a person hanging next to the bed in the back room.

The man had his back to the door, the rope around his neck was tied to the beam, and the other side of the rope was wrapped around the man's neck, and the whole person swayed slightly with the rope. Mo Ji felt a chill in his heart, but he was worried that there was fraud in the house, so he held back the fear in his heart and walked steadily inside.

Standing at the door, Mo Ji suddenly found that there was still a person on the bed, leaning slightly on the futon, but he didn't move, and the smell of blood came from the two of them. I didn't have time to see it clearly, both of them were dressed as pharmacy guys, and they must also be people from the secret contact point, but their lives and deaths were unknown.

Mo Ji has traveled south and north for many years, especially fighting countless battles with the Demon Dao, and he is very aware of the ghostly tricks of the Demon Dao, so he did not immediately touch the two of them, but carefully observed whether there were traps and ambushes in the house.

Mo Ji gently kicked the threshold, making a few soft noises, the two people in the house still did not move, Mo Ji had already detected that both of them were alive, and then walked into the house.

The furnishings in the house are simple, because there is no furnishings, so there is no mess outside the house, but the life and death of the two people in front of them are unknown, and the atmosphere is also extremely weird.

Mo Ji already sensed that the situation was getting worse and worse, and was thinking about what to do next. Suddenly, I heard a sound in the street outside the courtyard, and then a blessed warning fireworks exploded in the air.

Mo knew that the situation was not good, and he was concerned about the disciples who were waiting outside, and just as he was about to exit the inner room, the door of the outer room slammed shut.

Immediately after that, the person who was sitting on the bed, who had lost his life, actually turned around slowly.
