Chapter 251: Strange Evil Species -
“Not a living person?”
Song Weichen was so frightened by Ye Wujiu’s words that he subconsciously shrank behind Mo Tingfeng.
"What else could it be? Could it be that the rice dumplings have turned into spirits? It's what you call flying zombies, or the kind of standing zombies that can be taken away by corpse exorcists... By the way, under this round pit There are no ancient tombs, right?”
Song Weichen has read too much tomb robbing literature, and at this moment, she has opened a new copy in her mind.
"It's not a zombie."
What's rare is that Ye Wujiu can still be on the same frequency as her.
"In the world of sleep, the living dead who cannot be clearly classified as demons and demons are collectively called 'strange walking species'."
"This strange walking species has the same appearance as an ordinary person, and is covered with Huo is obviously full of death energy but not stiff at all. His agility exceeds that of most monks, which is very strange. And I think he..."
Ye Wujiu was clearly aware of it, but he stopped it abruptly. Got the words.
He never likes to speculate and bases everything he says on facts. He doesn't want to talk about such "personal feelings" that are vague and vague. What's more, although the glimpse is like an afterimage, it is extremely unbelievable, even if he is as calm as he is. I was also secretly frightened.
Mo Tingfeng saw it in his eyes and didn't dig into it. He knew Ye Wujiu too well. This reaction must have been a big shock in his heart and he needed to let him take a breath.
“Speak slowly.”
He patted Ye Wujiu on the shoulder to express comfort, and then divided the resentment breakers present into two groups, one group formed a circle around the scorched earth pit Tied with the unique red diamond knotted rope array of Sichen Mansion;
One group painted "evil-stop poison" on this rope array, which is made of realgar, silver vermilion, cinnabar, and asarum. "Avoid disaster sand", and "Biwen sand" made of terrestris, tiger head, podophyllum, Tianxiong, honey locust, and turnip are mixed in proportion and soaked in wine for 7749 days.
It is harmless to ordinary people, but it can drive away all evil spirits and the aura of illness and death.
Mo Tingfeng’s move was also to minimize the damage caused by the disaster so that the Wuyin villagers could return as soon as possible and rebuild their homes.
Just after the arrangements were completed, Yin Fuyin sent someone to inform him that they had cleared out an old vacant house a hundred meters away from the cave-in site, and displayed simple things such as pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and crude tea cakes for supply. It was used by Sichen Mansion to handle public cases in Wuyin Village recently.
It was difficult to give up. Mo Tingfeng happened to be worried that Song Weichen's body would not be able to hold on as he recovered, so he led her and Ding Heran to the old house to talk in detail.
.
Entering the hall of the old house, an old elm round table was placed in the middle. On the table were brewed crude tea, wild fruits and some crude pastries. The four chairs accompanying the table were not matching. It could be seen that it was indeed hastily arranged. .
The four of them sat down at the table. Mo Tingfeng calmly took Song Weichen's hand and felt her pulse. After confirming that there was no danger, he poured her a cup of warm tea. Then he looked at Ye Wujiu and ordered him to treat her. Retell what you have seen and heard from time to time without letting go of any detail.
“This matter is not trivial. Even if it is an uncertain clue, Wujiu you might as well tell it.”
“Yes!”
Ye Wujiu stood up and said I simply drew a few strokes on the large white rice paper hanging vertically prepared by the government office in advance, and I could see the scene under the scorched earth pit - the crack went down for more than five feet in depth, and then a hollow hole appeared at one end of the hole. There is a hidden path that slopes upward, leading directly to the cellar of the ancestral hall of Wuyin Village.
Further into the hollow cave is a long, narrow and winding crevice path, which should have been eroded by underground rivers over the years. After that, the path disappeared, the underground waterway widened, and the exit led to Cinnabar Town.
After the painting was completed, Ye Wujiu followed the picture and reported everything he had seen and heard underground at that time.
“Not long after we entered the crevice, we discovered the hollow space. Most of it had collapsed. There were burnt tables, beds, and cabinets inside. It was obvious that someone had lived here.”
< br>"There is a lot of blood mixed in the cave. Unfortunately, the steam inside has destroyed the 'blood letter' of the remaining blood. Even if it is collected, it cannot be used to find the source of the trace."
"In addition, that The half-burnt Huozhezi was found here, but the person named "Huozhezi" was not found. ”
...
Ye Wujiu pondered for a moment, and used a red pen to mark three crosses on the path leading from the cave to the cellar of the ancestral hall in Wuyin Village.
“Three corpses that had been burned beyond recognition were found here. Due to the severe carbonization, the identities could not be identified at the scene, but there are only a hundred or so Warlocks of Class B and above in the world. Give me a few days. If you take time to screen, you will definitely gain something."
He then made a circle at the end of the crevice path.
“The scabbard was found here, close to the underground river. When I chased it there, both the earth type A and the fire break were gone. However, I saw an afterimage of Qixingzhong from a distance. It looked back. I took one look...and then disappeared into the waterway. It must have been a clear goal, chasing two people or one of them."
"After entering the waterway, I discovered a secret. The exit closest to here is the ancient well in Cinnabar Town where 'Huo Zhezi' received the bounty mission. It was also the ancient well where my subordinates went out and turned back."
..."No wonder!"
Ding Heran suddenly realized.
“I’m just saying that your kid clearly informed me that he entered this deep chasm, collapsed and sealed it, but then suddenly emerged from somewhere else. His feelings found an outlet and he deliberately didn’t tell me, right? You just want to see in public how desperate I am to save you, right?”
Ye Wu Jiu tightened his cheeks and finally did not respond.
At that time, when he received the first directional communication from Ding Heran underground, it was exactly when he encountered Qixingzhong. Although it was just a glance, it was as creepy as maggots attached to the bones... Ye Wujiu I really don’t want to recall it.
...For a moment, he thought he would never see Ding Heran alive again.
In this case, it is better not to do it, so as not to worry the living and leave only regrets.
.
Ye Wujiu put down his ink pen and bowed to Mo Tingfeng.
“Thanks to your trust, I am willing to listen to blameless and immature deductions, so I made a mistake - I have three inferences from this investigation.”
“First, this fog The hollow cave under Yin Village is probably where Huo Zhezi hides on weekdays. He uses water channels and crevices as passages to receive tasks from the ancient well of Zhusha Town, and then passes through the ancestral hall cellar and other underground water systems that connect the entire Mengshui River. Hidden exits are everywhere."
"Secondly, after escaping from Pingyang Forest, the Grade A earth magician has maintained close contact with 'Huo Zhezi' for some reason, and they even hid in this cave together. Maybe the ground, and the strange walking species obviously came to kill two people - the strange walking species is of the fire element, and the 'Huo Zhezi' is also of the fire element. Needless to say, the earth element is Grade A, and it is easy to control the earth and move mountains. , so everything that happened in Wuyin Village was caused by their fierce fighting. "
"Third, the Qixing Seed must be controlled by some evil force and exist to complete a certain task. The three carbonized corpses of second-level warlocks were also mutilated by this evil thing. My subordinates cannot rule out the possibility that its hunting target is a high-level warlock. If this is the case, the warlock leveling trial may take place after three months. Disaster.”
After Ye Wujiu finished speaking, he saluted Mo Tingfeng again, with a solemn expression on his face, and sat down in silence.
.
It is said that women are naturally sensitive and careful. Song Weichen kept observing Ye Wujiu while he was talking, and always felt that something was wrong with him - and this wrong was always mentioned It appears when 'strange seeds' appear.
Out of concern for him, Song Weichen hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"No blame, you obviously have another inference, why don't you tell me?"
"What?"
Ye Wujiu was stunned, not knowing what he was referring to.
"What are you hiding about Qixingzhong? You clearly...thought of something, right?"
"I..."
Ye Wujiu wanted to say something He stopped again, his expression extremely tangled.
"No Jiu, what Wei Wei said is exactly what I thought. You had reservations when you mentioned it at the scene just now. Why?"
Mo Tingfeng looked at Ye Wu Jiu intently as usual, " You know it.”
What they said shocked Ding Heran, who was belatedly thinking about it, and looked at Ye Wujiu in disbelief.
"Old Ye, what's going on? Oh, just tell me! I'm so anxious!"
......
"Although it's just a glance, there's a high probability that I won't recognize that face wrong."
Ye Wujiu finally spoke, and he unconsciously clenched his hands so tightly that his joints turned white.
“…I killed him.”
