Chapter 15 arrives at Sucheng
In the early morning, although the town is small, it is already noisy to get up early, and there are many people coming and going on the small streets and alleys.
In the inn, the shopkeeper helped pack the luggage for a few of them, led the horses, and sent them ready to go.
Situ Mo and his party still had the momentum yesterday and left the town unhurriedly.
At this moment, a person in the distance was watching their every move.
Within a few hours, a few of them had arrived in Sucheng.
In the city, when the people saw that they were so powerful, they dodged and dodged.
"Hey, although this Su City is not as big as your Yan City, it is still an old city with a history of a hundred years, why do these people look at us like monsters?" Gu Suyu said to the three people in front of him, holding Mades Qianhuaixin Situ Mohelian Wuxi.
"It's strange indeed, you see these people, they seem to be very scared of us. "Situ Mo just entered the city and saw the clues, this city is big and big, not like a villager who has never seen the world.
"Could it be that they are a little scared to see strangers?" Si Qianhuaixin said.
"No, you see that this Sucheng is so big, there must be a lot of vendors coming and going," Gu Suyu looked at both sides of the street, there were many stores, but at this time, there were many stores with closed doors.
"This old man, I want to ask...... Si Qianhuaixin grabbed an old man and wanted to ask if he knew him, so he had to go on a raft.
"I don't know, don't ask me. The old man shook off Si Qianhuaixin and left, and walked away quickly.
"What's going on?" Situ Mo crossed his hands on his hips.
"It may be related to the recent disappearance of the population, "Helian Wuxi who doesn't speak is a beautiful man, and Helian Wuxi who speaks is a wise man."
"This boy is right. Just as a few people were puzzled, a man dressed as a guard behind him said.
"Are you ?......," Situ Mo asked.
"I'm Situ Raft, and you are the graduating students of Cangling Mountain, right?" Situ Raft said.
"It turns out that you are all from the Situ family, but you don't know Situ Mo. Gu Suyu looked disdainful.
"The Situ family is so big, do I have to know them one by one?," Situ Mo rolled his eyes at Su Yu.
"That's right, I've been here on an errand for decades, and at that time, Young Master Situ had already gone to Cangling Mountain, and it was reasonable that he didn't know me. Situ Wei stepped back three meters and saluted.
"No need to be polite, let's talk about what is going on here. Situ Mo said.
"Okay, everyone, please come with me, I must be a little tired after a few days of traveling, the cold house has prepared wine and food, why don't we talk while eating. Situ Wei made a gesture of please.
The crowd followed.
After a few streets, I came to a private house, which was simple, simple, but not without losing its atmosphere.
The Gusu raft opened the gate and motioned for us to enter, and the two servants inside helped me tidy up the carriage.
Passing by the courtyard, I arrived at the front hall, and when I walked in, I saw that the meal had been prepared.
"Come, please take a seat, it's commonplace, and I hope you don't dislike it. Situ Wei said politely.
"It's still hot, how did Lord Situ know that we would arrive at noon?" Gu Su Yuhao was not polite, sat down and began to eat.
"The Holy Lord has already sent me a message before you came, counting the time, you young ladies are here at this time. ”
Long before they went out, the Holy Lord Situ had already sent a flying message to Situ Raft, and specially instructed him to take care of several young ladies and young men.
"Hmm. "It's been a hard time for everyone to travel for the past two days, and it's been a gobble up food.
"Tell me now, what's going on here?" asked Si Qianhuaixin.
"That's the case, a few months ago, this began to have villagers disappear one after another, at first I thought it was just an ordinary dispute, or ran away from home, so I handed it over to the yamen in charge to deal with, and then found that the missing people did not stop, but became more and more serious, and they were all men, until last month, a family of four was tragically killed, we found out that this is not an ordinary disappearance, and it is related to the demon world. Situ Wei described the source of the matter,
"Demon Realm?" everyone said in unison,
The Demon Realm had only heard from the masters before, and had not really contacted them yet, so I didn't expect to be in contact so soon.
"That's right, there is a kind of anti-soul bead in the demon world, which specializes in cannibalizing people's souls and turning people into puppets for their use, and the family of four seems to have used the anti-soul bead but did not succeed, but killed it. ”
"The Reverse Soul Bead was originally the magic weapon of the former demon lord Bingzhu, and he probably gave the Reverse Soul Bead to his son Bingkun before sealing him in the Mountain of No Return, and Bingkun wanted to imitate his father and absorb people's souls, which could not only increase the magic power, but even the corpse could be turned into a puppet and used with it. ”
"Isn't that an evil thing?" Murong He said.
"That's right, so Su Cheng's recent disappearance is likely to be related to the Demon Realm. Situ Wei said.
"Then go directly to the Demon Realm, I still don't believe that so many of us can't do a few minions in the Demon Realm. Situ Mo said indignantly.
"No, although the current demon world is not as fearful as when Bingzhu and the three Ming brothers and sisters were there, but the current demon world is not so easy to deal with, you have to understand one thing, they will not die, and we will, and we will consume physical strength. ”
"Are you saying that no matter how you kill him, their soldiers won't die? Like you said, they're all soulless puppets?" Yun Mengyin said.
"Yes. ”
"Then how do we investigate? If it's really the Demon Realm's doing, we'll let it do what it does?" Si Qianhuaixin said.
"If it is really the Demon Realm's doing, naturally we can't act arbitrarily, we have to think of corresponding countermeasures, and strike at them, so that they don't dare to be so rampant, and we can annihilate them in one fell swoop. "But it's a long battle," Gusu said.
"You take us to see the corpses of the family of four. Helian Wuxi said.
"Okay, please come with me. ”
After dinner, everyone came to his study with Situ Raft, and the bookcase in the study opened to a secret door and an underground passage.
The temperature of the underground passage is very low, and everyone feels cold and swishing as soon as they enter.
"Why are you so cold," Gu Suyu hugged her hands, shivering with cold.
"Stupid, how can you store a corpse if it's not cold. Situ Mo looked disdainful, this girl usually looks quite clever
"yes. In order to better store the corpse, I specially built an ice cellar underneath, so that if the girls felt cold, they could wait outside. Murong He and Murong Xiao were already sneezing coldly,
"Why don't you two wait outside now?" Si Qianhuaixin said.
"No...... No, I'll go in with you, no...... It's okay. Murong He was so cold that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Wait a little bit. Helian Wuxi looked at Murong He's cold lips and teeth, and took off his coat and put it on her.
"Good. "It's only useful for Helian Wuxi to speak.
Gu Suyu looked at them, is it like this, Helian Wuxi likes it?
Situ Raft led everyone down the stairs, and there were walls everywhere, and oil lamps were lit on the walls.
After a while, they descended to a room with ice walls on all sides, and four corpses lying on the ice bed in the middle of the room.
"Why did you come in too, why don't you wait outside with Rong He?" Situ Mo said when he saw Gu Suyu also come in.
"Why can't you come in. Gu Suyu gave him a blank look.
"It's not that I'm afraid you'll be cold. Situ Mo also admired this girl, obviously the other girls were shivering, but she could still keep up.
"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned. ”
"Look, this is the dead. Situ Raft lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and suddenly everyone was nauseous, although there were ice cellars and ice beds, but after all, they had been dead for a while, and it was inevitable that they would stink.
The corpse's facial features were black and purple, his skin was wrinkled, and the person was thin and skinny, as if his body had been drained.
"It's like absorbing the soul. Si Qianhuaixin said.
"No, this has not been fully absorbed, this is a failure, the person who absorbs the soul is like a good dry corpse, you see that these four people are in a serious situation, but it seems that this woman was killed by magic. "Situ Wei guided us to the corpse of this woman.
"It seems that they only suck the souls of men. Helian Wuxi said.
"Yes, so we need to stay here for a while, to see who dares to capture so many people in such a short period of time, I want to see what the Demon Realm wants to do. ”
"I'll have to bother a few young ladies in the future. Gusu raft saluted and thanked him.
