Chapter 203: Overnight
Jin Wanliang was captured back to the ghost world, but he successfully bought time for Mu Chen and Qingyue, and the two successfully walked through the woods to Gaolu Village.
"Brother Muchen, let's go find someone to spend the night. Qingyue said while holding the weak Mu Chen.
"No, I can't. Mu Chen shook his head and vetoed, explaining: "The way I am now, and there are blood stains on my body, it is unlucky for others. It's about to be the New Year, so let's not rush into people. ”
Qingyue looked at Mu Chen's weak appearance, and asked very anxiously, "Then what should I do, you are so weak now, you must have a good rest!"
Mu Chen originally wanted to notify Li Dongyi as soon as he returned to the human world, but his mobile phone was smashed when he was on the iceberg, and now he can't cast a spell to notify them, and he has completely lost the way to contact them. But fortunately, now that he is back, Mu Chen can only wait for his health to get better, and then set off to return to Xunxiang Pavilion by himself.
Mu Chen fumbled in his clothes for a while, and finally took out a stack of crumpled money and said to Qingyue: "Use this money to find a hotel to live in, there should be something outside the village, let's look for it." ”
Gaolu Village is not far from the town, Qingyue found a small hotel in the town according to Mu Chen's wishes, and then carefully brought Mu Chen in, and the two stayed here temporarily. Although the conditions are rudimentary, the good thing is that it is safe here.
In the Fragrance Hunting Pavilion, it was already midnight, but he still hadn't come back, and he couldn't be contacted, Li Dongyi, Yaosi and others were anxiously waiting.
"Why don't I go out and look for it?" Bai Chen was really not at ease, and was about to go out to find the break.
Li Dongyi said: "You and Yaosi should go and rest, you will have to set off for Liuyuan early tomorrow morning." Here is me and Wuyu, we are waiting for him here, and I am sure that nothing will happen to Xiao Xuan. ”
Now that the manpower of the Incense Pavilion is really insufficient, all the cultivators have been sent out to solve the supernatural incidents in various places, and Li Dongyi's pressure is really great. Bai Chen and Yao Si, as the most powerful people in the Fragrance Hunting Pavilion now, naturally fell to the two of them when they found out where the people from the ghost world came from and what their purpose was.
Early the next morning, Bai Chen and Yao Si were woken up by Li Dongyi in a hurry. According to Li Dongyi's intelligence, a large number of people from the ghost realm suddenly poured into the Liuyuan Continent last night, and many people had already been harmed by this morning, and the matter was very big, and Bai Chen Yaosi and the others had to go to the Liuyuan Continent immediately.
And Duan Sheli also sent back the news in the early morning, it turned out that he had found more accomplices when chasing the ghost world, and Duan Sheli had to hide in secret, preparing to wipe out these ghost things.
"I will meet you immediately after settling the matter on his side, and I will arrange for the others in the Fragrance Pavilion as well. It's just that there are not enough manpower now, so you two need to work harder, but safety is the most important, report to me immediately if there is a situation, and remember not to be reckless. Li Dongyi told seriously.
What happened on the Liuyuan Continent, Mu Chen and Qingyue had already felt it. Shortly after the two of them checked into the hotel last night, they felt a cold air hit them, which was the breath of the ghost. Then I vaguely heard several screams from outside, the sound was really terrifying, but Mu Chen and Qingyue couldn't be exposed, so they could only hide in the room.
It wasn't until this morning that Qingyue went downstairs to buy breakfast and saw that the breakfast shop downstairs was already full of people, and she heard from people's mouths that several people who screamed last night had died mysteriously.
The villagers gathered around and talked, and everyone had a look of worry and horror on their faces, and they were in tears as they spoke.
"The youngest son of the old Zhang family died a cruel death, and such a young child was actually cut off by someone!"
"yes, such a cute child. There is also the daughter-in-law of the old Li family, the village head Doctor Wang's family has been killed, these are all good people, it is impossible to offend anyone, who can be so ruthless!"
"It's about to be the New Year, how could this happen! Could it be that someone accidentally collided with the gods? No, no, no, I must go to the temple today and beg for peace!"
Qingyue took breakfast and went back and told Mu Chen what she heard, although the two of them did not see the appearance of the deceased with their own eyes, I don't know if the words of the villagers just now added fuel and vinegar, but it is certain that the death of these people must have been done by ghosts.
What are the intentions of these ghosts?
Mu Chen asked Qingyue, "Do you know anything about this?"
Qingyue shook her head again and again, "I don't know." When my brother was around, he didn't let me get involved in the ghost world at all, and I really don't know why they killed people. ”
Qingyue cried as she spoke, and assured Mu Chen with tears in her eyes: "I really don't know about Brother Muchen. But I'm the princess of the ghost world, and I'm responsible for this. ”
"If you want to find the person in charge, you won't find it, this matter is clearly the order of the ghost king and has nothing to do with you. Mu Chen gently touched Qingyue's hair and comforted.
"Okay, don't cry, we'll go see the dead after dinner. ”
Six people died mysteriously in Gaolu Village one night after another, and the news spread all at once. All kinds of mythical speculations followed, some said that it was a perverted murderer, and some said that it was a ghost attack. But in short, this incident caused everyone to be afraid, and everyone gathered together in broad daylight, not daring to be alone.
When Mu Chen and Qingyue went downstairs, the people in the hotel all went out, leaving only a young man guarding the counter, and when Mu Chen and the others came down, they startled the young man.
"I heard a lot of people talking downstairs just now, why is it so quiet all of a sudden?" Mu Chen asked.
"Oh, everyone has made an appointment to go to the temple to offer incense. The young man then asked, "Didn't you hear about what happened last night?"
Mu Chen shook his head and pretended not to know.
The young man looked left and right, approached Mu Chen and whispered: "Someone died last night, and he died very miserably, and the people in the village said that it was a ghost, so don't you go to the temple to offer incense and ask the Bodhisattva for blessing." ”
"Mysterious death?" Mu Chen asked with a pretended shock look, "Do you know where the deceased is?" ”
"Really, that's great! The only doctor we have here died last night, and the police station is so far away that we haven't arrived yet, and now we don't know what to do. I'll just tell the boss, I'll take you there, wait for me a little. ”
After asking for leave, the young man took Mu Chen and Qingyue to the village.
The innkeeper was very enthusiastic, and he asked Mu Chen questions all the way, forcing Mu Chen to lie several times.
"The two of you came to stay in the store last night, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"I'm really sorry, it's unlucky for this to happen to the two of you when you first came to us. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
"The two of you are a couple, right? They both look so young, talented and beautiful, and they are very worthy!"
As soon as she asked this, Qing Yue's face immediately turned red, and she was looking forward to listening to Mu Chen's answer.
"Well, thank you. Mu Chen only felt that he didn't need to explain too much to this young man, so he casually agreed.
All the way to the young man's question, the three of them first arrived at the clinic at the entrance of the village.
The young man from the inn first introduced Mu Chen and Qingyue at the door: "Doctor Wang is a well-known doctor here for us, not to mention his medical skills, and he is also very kind to others, and we all respect him." Who knew that this kind of thing would happen, a family of four, Dr. Wang's wife and two old people all died, hey!"
Walking into the house, a strong smell of medicinal herbs came, medicine bottles were scattered on the ground, and Chinese and Western medicines were poured on the ground. After going inside and pulling open a curtain, the scene in front of them really startled the three of them. The young man was so frightened that he screamed, Qingyue was so frightened that he grabbed Mu Chen's sleeve and quickly covered his mouth, and Mu Chen was also so frightened by the bloody scene in front of him that he closed his eyes, and only after a while did he dare to open it.
Dr. Wang's family of four fell to the ground, and both legs of Dr. Wang and his wife were cut off, and the hands of two elderly people were cut off. The four of them were full of horror with their eyes open, and it seemed that they had died of blood after their hands and feet had been cut off alive. This murderous method is really terrifying and cruel, Qingyue couldn't help crying when she saw this scene.
Mu Chen knew the reason why Qingyue was crying, after all, as the princess of the ghost world, the ghost world did this kind of thing, and Qingyue had no way not to blame herself.
"You go out for a while, and I'll check it out. Mu Chen took Qingyue's emotions into account and asked the young man to take Qingyue out.
Mu Chen searched the clinic, but did not find Dr. Wang's severed limbs, which means that these were all taken by the ghosts, but why did they take this, and what was the use? There were no clues left in the clinic, and even the souls of the four deceased were taken away by the ghosts, even if Mu Chen could cast spells, there was no way to find out.
After leaving the clinic, the young man took Mu Chen and Qingyue to the other two houses, one of the deceased was a middle-aged woman, and the death was the same as Dr. Wang's family, her hands were also cut off, and her soul was collected.
The other deceased was a 10-year-old boy lying on a blood-stained bed, and the boy's parents knelt in front of the bed crying heartbreakingly. And the boy was different from the deceased in front of him, his mouth was wide open, and the tongue inside was actually cut out.
According to the boy's family, when they heard the child screaming and came to the room, the child was still out of breath and his eyes were fixed on the window, but they saw nothing. After a while, the child died.
Seeing this scene, Qingyue couldn't help but rush out and cry, and Mu Chen hurriedly chased him out.
Qing Yue squatted on the ground and hugged herself and cried very sadly, Mu Chen didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hold her shoulders and gently pat her back to soothe Qing Yue's emotions.
"Such a young child, he is still so young! How could they bear to attack such a young child! Brother Muchen, how could they do such a cruel thing?"
