Chapter 55: The First Signs

Niu Fen was stunned for a moment, and when he wanted to ask something, he found that Li Zhutou and Huixin were no longer visible, and hurriedly sighed, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a monk, no wonder the rivers and lakes are rumored to be a demon-faced Buddha, it is indeed true, what are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and do it according to the monk's method!"

The surrounding officials quickly dispersed, but they were not afraid of Niu Fen, but they felt that Niu Fen was very kind.

Outside the East City, Huixin and Li Zhutou stood near the Land Temple.

"Gow, grate!"

Li Zhutou retched for a long time, and then he quickly became less dizzy, this time it gave him a special experience, and he looked at Huixin with awe.

"Your strength is okay, but your martial arts are very mixed!"

Hui Xin took out a pill and shook his head at Li Zhutou.

"The monk smiled, we don't have any teachers, and thanks to the help of the Niu Governor's Mansion, this is the art of killing people in the army. ”

"Why, your prefect has ever been a soldier?"

Li Zhutou shook his head and said with a smile, "The monk has good eyesight, Niu Zhifu was once born in the Imperial Forest Army, and then I don't know what the reason is, so I gave up the martial arts and followed the literature, but passed the imperial examination in the Jinshi, since Lord Niu came to Sichuan City, there has never been a thing to oppress the people, he is a rare good official, and sympathetic to his subordinates, it is really rare!"

"I see, let's not talk about this, you tell me, where is Qiyun Village?"

After Li Zhutou glanced left and right, he pointed to the east and said, "It's about forty miles to the east, backed by mountains, surrounded by plains!"

"Let's go!"

Hui Xin's eyes emitted a gleam, and according to his senses, he had already discovered the unusual aura around him, as if something was wrong.

"Monk, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, you have to get closer, the poor monk has a poison avoidance pill here, don't swallow it in your mouth!"

Hui Xin took out a porcelain bottle from the Sumeru space, poured out a round pill, and handed it to Li Zhutou, but his eyes never left the outside of Qiyun Village, his brows were furrowed as if he was still thinking, but his footsteps did not stop.

Li Zhutou hurriedly took it, and after hesitatingly putting it under his nose and smelling it, he found that there was a special pungent smell, and the entrance did not melt, and there was no abnormality.

"Divine monk, it seems that something is wrong, the government once sent a team of officials to pull out the boundary line around this Qiyun Village, but now I don't see them, is there something wrong!"

"Is this really the case? The poor monk sensed that there was no longer the breath of a living person in this Qiyun Village!"

The martial artist is very sensitive to breath sensing, as early as after arriving at Qiyun Village, the village seemed to be silent, and there was no sound of chickens and dogs barking, and after the two glanced at each other, they hurriedly rushed into the village.

When I went from house to house, there was no trace of any figure or human existence, and according to the dust falling on the ground, this Qiyun Village had not been taken care of for at least three days, which was not at all reasonable.

"I'm afraid something is really wrong!"

"Divine monk, you see that there are blood stains here, and there is no sign of loss or taken away the property in the village, what happened in Qiyun Village, it's weird!"

If you don't take your belongings away, it's not like fleeing from the village, these villagers with their backs to the loess and facing the sky will definitely not give up food, clothing, shelter and transportation, how can they survive without these four things, but now there are too few clues.

"Let's split up and gather here in a quarter of an hour, sure to find some clues!"

After Huixin finished speaking, she pushed open the courtyard door of a farmer's house and broke into it.

Li Zhutou could only do what Huixin said.

Inside the fence wall, the poultry in the chicken coop have all died, the corpses have been decomposing for a while, the doors and windows are open, there is no sound of breathing inside, and the most bizarre thing is not these, but a coffin is placed in the hall of every household.

Huixin didn't want to disturb the undead, but after opening the coffin, she didn't find any humans, which is strange, so who put these coffins?

The discovery of the plague in Qiyun Village only occurred within seven days, and the government sent people to block it, how could it be that even the people from the government were gone, what was the reason why this village with 300 households became dead and silent, and even the animals lost their lives, the reason for this was not clear, but he was also a little uneasy.

"Ahh

A scream came from the house not far away, and Huixin hurriedly inquired and arrived.

"What's wrong?"

Li Zhutou said with annoyance, "I don't know who put the beast trap and clamped my feet, it's really unlucky." ”

It turned out to be a false alarm, Huixin glanced at it casually, and suddenly his eyes froze.

Li Zhutou looked at Huixin's gaze and said in a daze, "It's Xiao Zhu, he's dead?"

Enduring the pain, Li Zhutou just wanted to open the position and check the officials, but Huixin stopped him one step ahead and said, "Don't touch him, he is now covered in poison and is dead!"

"Damn!"

Huixin ignored Li Zhutou, and still gave him a bottle of gold sore medicine and said, "You rest here for a while, the official was poisoned and died, this is obviously a man-made disaster, it looks like killing people!"

"Thank you, monk, please be careful!"

"It's okay, the poor monk has long been poisonous, but don't make a mistake, the poisonous gas here has not completely dissipated. ”

Hui Xin waved his hand and swept away the poisonous gas on the dead officer, but when he checked it, he didn't find anything wrong, but the officer seemed to be holding something in his fist.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a silver needle hidden weapon.

The venom that still existed on it had already invaded the heart of the servant, and the whole arm was already pitch black, the power of this poison was not light, who was the person who made a move against this Qiyun Village, this plague does not look like a natural disaster, Huixin must be man-made.

"Li Zhutou, are there any sects around Sichuan City that are good at poisoning?"

Huixin turned her head and asked.

Li Zhutou pondered, and suddenly said, "Listen to the older generation, the sect that is good at poisoning in the rivers and lakes is naturally the Miaojiang Five Poisons Sect and the Hundred Medicine Sect, and our Sichuan City has always been with them The well water does not interfere with the river water, did the monks find anything?"

"The poor monk can't be sure, but one thing is certain, the villagers of Qiyun Village must have suffered a disaster, wait for the poor monk to put the corpse of this servant into the coffin, take it back and let it be examined, and make a judgment, this is not a place to stay for a long time!"

Huixin looked at the corpse, sighed the Buddha's name, just entered the house and wanted to lift the coffin, but suddenly stunned, when he looked forward, he found that a door was open, and it seemed to be a secret door such as a secret passage.

And according to Huixin's powerful sense, there seems to be a voice coming from the ground inside.

Silent for the time being, Huixin didn't find anything, and after taking the coffin, he picked up the body of the official and put it in the coffin.

"Divine monk, I'm so unwilling, I'm going to leave without finding anything, if I don't quell this plague as soon as possible, I'm afraid the entire Sichuan City will become a dead domain!"

"There are too few clues now, let's go back to the city first, and think about it in the long run. ”

Holding the coffin in one hand and grabbing Li Zhu's head with the other, his body changed and disappeared into the village.
