Chapter 148
The four of them slept in the open for ten days, but fortunately, they arrived in the town before the next death, and there were a few disciples from the Qi cultivation period to guide the way, and they took the four of them to the small village.
A few Qi cultivators went straight to the village chief's house with Gu Xi, and when the villagers saw the four of them, they knelt down one after another and saluted a few people.
"Meet the immortals. ”
"Meet the immortals. ”
Gu Xi and Zheng Yue'er, the two people with the lowest cultivation here, are not suitable for coming out, unless the other two don't speak, so the two of them remain silent.
"Get up, I'm not an immortal, I'm just a struggling on the Avenue of Immortality!" It was Bai Tao who spoke up, this senior brother with an ordinary face. The villagers below didn't dare to get up, Bai Tao had no choice but to wave his sleeves and help these villagers with his aura. Well, these people are even more determined that they are immortals.
In fact, these villagers are not ignorant of monks, but for them, monks are immortals, and they can't tell the difference between immortals and monks. Seeing such a method of Senior Brother Bai Tao, the villagers were obviously excited, and they kept talking.
"Now it's good, the immortals are here, and we are saved. ”
"Yes, yes, my family is worried all day long, and they don't dare to go out at night, now it's okay, I'll have to go back and talk to him in a while." ”
"My family isn't that yet, and I can't wait to get out of the door lately. Do you know that Li Shusheng next door to our house? It is said that he was found by the river, but I didn't dare to look at it, and my family came back and said that he had died a miserable death, and he was frightened at that time. ”
"You see, four or five of them have died lately, and they have made people panic, and if they continue like this, what will they have to do to go out to work. ”
"Yes, but fortunately the immortals are here!"
Gu Xi and his party had already been led to the village chief's house by those few Qi cultivators, but there were only a few dozen families in this small village, and their divine sense had already covered the entire village with such cultivation, so it was impossible for them not to know what those women were talking about.
Of course, their consciousness subconsciously avoided the house, and they didn't want to see what they shouldn't see.
"A few uncles, the head of this village is in this village, a few uncles please. This disciple, who was called Tuesday, bent down and stretched out his hand, and greeted Gu Xi and the others in with a flattering face.
Stepping into the courtyard gate, the white-bearded village chief quickly knelt down, and behind him was his family, all of whom also knelt down.
"Ask the immortals to save our village, the little old man is grateful. ”
"It is the duty of the village chief to eliminate demons and protect the peace of the party, so let's get up, let's explain the specific situation of the matter to us in detail. ”
Gu Xi and Zheng Yue'er still didn't say anything, Xiao Yi's big iceberg couldn't deal with this kind of thing on the scene, so it was still Bai Tao who spoke out this time.
"Good, good. The village chief seemed to be very excited, and the people around him helped him up.
"A few immortals, can you go into the house with Xiao Lao'er and say. ”
Several people nodded.
As early as when he came in, Gu Xi took a look, this courtyard is better than many families in the village, like an ancient Chinese courtyard house, it seems that they should live here today.
A few people went to the house and sat down, the village told their daughter to make tea for Gu Xi and a few people, and several people did not refuse, the little girl was the age of the girl Huaichun, and quietly peeked at Xiao Yi several times, thinking that she was very hidden, but she never thought that for the people who cultivated the truth, the whole village was shrouded by their divine sense, her actions were clearly seen by several people, and Xiao Yi's iceberg face was a little colder. The village chief didn't have the skills of a few people, so he definitely didn't know his daughter's actions. A few Qi cultivators just shirked the matter and left first. Gu Xi guessed that they were scared!
"Okay, let's talk about the situation!" Bai Tao spoke first.
"That's right, a few immortals, this happened for the first time a few months ago, and the first unlucky one was a big man in the village who cut wood, everyone called him Liu Dazhuang, and he died in his own house. The second is the second family at the entrance of the village, Qiao San, who was found dead in the woods outside the village when the villagers went out to work. The third is Sun Wangfu, his mother-in-law Gray Niang's house went to the second day and came back to find that her husband was dead in bed, and he was scared crazy, but her children were gone, and there was no father and no mother at such a young age. The fourth is Li Shusheng of the village house, who died by the small river at the entrance of the village. ”
"Liu Dazhuang, Qiao San and Li Shusheng, have you found anything abnormal?" Gu Xi asked out loud.
"No, then Liu Dazhuang married a daughter-in-law a few years ago, and then fell ill, and then he was alone. That Qiao San is a good gambler, he is not at home for at least ten months a year, and he comes back once in a while to ask his daughter-in-law for money, and if he doesn't give it, he beats and scolds his daughter-in-law. And that Li Shusheng, there is only one old mother in the family, and now that he has gone, his old mother can't accept it for a while, so she goes with him. ”
In other words, no one knows how these people died. Gu Xi continued to ask.
The white-bearded old village chief nodded.
Gu Xi took a sip of the tea that had just been brought up, and stopped speaking, such cruel methods are not like artificial, and these people don't seem to have anything to do with each other, today is already thirteen, and tomorrow night will be fourteen.
"What enemies do those people have?" asked Zheng Yue'er.
"Qiao Sanxiao doesn't know, but the other three are broken. ”
"Why is the village chief so sure?"
"Liu Dazhuang doesn't talk much and rarely socializes with people, so Li Shusheng knows how to advance and retreat, and it doesn't look like he has a grudge with others. Sun Wangfu saw everyone smiling, stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, and he wouldn't grudge with anyone if he thought about it. ”
"Can the village chief describe the deaths of those people in detail?" Bai Tao asked.
These people were all gouged out of their hearts, their eyes widened, as if they had seen something terrible, and they were all blue and white, but after a while, maggots crawled out of the flesh. The maggot didn't look like it was normal, it seemed to have eaten the flesh of a dead man. ”
Gu Xi imagined that scene for a moment, and almost vomited nausea.
"Senior Brother Xiao, do you know what this thing is doing?"
Bai Tao turned his gaze to Xiao Jinyu, Senior Brother Xiao was more knowledgeable, and he didn't necessarily know, but he was going to be disappointed.
Xiao Yi shook his head, he didn't know.
"Village Chief, I see that you guys here seem to be paved with big stones around every house?" Gu Xi observed when he came in, there were stones paved here, and there seemed to be some kind of pattern, of course, Gu Xi didn't know about the formation, but after reading the book about the formation for a while, and the senior sister often popularized knowledge for her, so she could see some rules.
"Yes, this is the beginning of the new construction of this village. ”
Gu Xi felt that the village chief should know something, but he refused to say it.
