Chapter 325 The Mystery of Shenshan
With the sound of Gu Xiaowei's ultra-high sound, Xiao Chen and others scattered in the village to search left and arrived at Gu Xiaowei's side one after another.
When they came to Gu Xiaowei's side, Xiao Chen and others saw an old man over 70 curled up by the wall, holding a big cigarette bag in his hand and smoking. For the arrival of these strangers, they didn't even lift their eyelids. The pale hair was like grass, and his face was as thin as fire. If it weren't He can also smoke a few cigarettes. I'm afraid Xiao Chen will think that the old man is a dead man.
Seeing such a strange old man, Xiao Chen and others are stunned, but Xiao Chen and others have even seen demons and monsters, how can they be afraid of this skinny old man?
At that moment, Ye Heng asked, "Excuse me, where are the people in Hekou Village?"
Papa!
After Ye Heng asked, the thin old man did not pay attention to Ye Heng. He didn't even look up at Ye Heng and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of turbid yellow smoke.
"What?! You are really arrogant. I treated you with courtesy, but you actually ignored me. If it hadn't been for seeing that you have stepped into the grave, I would have shown you some colors today. Ye Heng was ignored by the old man and became surprisingly angry.
"Brother Ye Heng, don't be impatient." Xiao Chen said.
"Hmm! This old man really lacks to clean up. Ye Heng snorted angrily and turned around. As Ye Heng, he was ignored by a dying old man, which was really annoying.
"My father-in-law, we are pedestrians going to Jiulong Mountain. Passing by here, we saw that it was getting late and wanted to enter the village to have a place to stay. After several nights, I strangely found that every family in the village was uninhabited. How dare I ask my father-in-law why? Xiao Chen looked very patient and polite.
Hearing Xiao Chen say so in detail, the old man knocked the cigarette butt on the ground. He was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xiao Chen with his turbid eyes and said in a low voice, "This is the place cursed by the devil. Everyone died overnight. It's miserable! Miserable! More than 7,000 people died overnight, all gone... gone..."
"What?! More than seven thousand lives!!!"
Even Xiao Chen and others were shocked when they heard this! More than 7,000 lives are not a small number. What's more incredible is that more than 7,000 lives died overnight. What happened in this estuary village?
"My father-in-law, I don't know how the people in the village died? Bandits? Revenge? Plague? Or a natural disaster?" Xiao Chen continued to ask that his increasingly strange things in Hekou Village were related to the demon clan.
This is a hunch that naturally produces without any reasoning or evidence.
"No, neither. They all have a strange disease, a strange disease that dies after falling asleep. The old man's tone became deeper and deeper, as if the wind blowing from Jiuyou made people shudder.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen and others suddenly shuddered. This disease is really terrible. Is it the so-called euthanasia?
However, Xiao Chen and others will not believe that this disease exists in the world. Even if it does exist, it is impossible for the whole village. More than 7,000 people suffer from this disease at the same time and die at the same time overnight.
If this strange thing is put in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a supernatural power that killed more than 7,000 people in Hekou Village. But in the eyes of Xiao Chen, there are demons.
It must have been the giant demon who killed the villagers of Hekou Village, extracted their souls to sacrifice and practice evil arts.
Looking at each other, Xiao Chen and others had a solemn look on their faces. Together with the demonic spirit that Xiao Chen had sensed before, things seemed to gradually have a clue.
At present, Xiao Chen asked again, "My father-in-law, I don't know where the dead villagers are buried? Maybe I can tell you the truth?"
"You are here to investigate the case, right? I didn't expect that my small village in Hekou Village would attract the attention of others. But you came late, and the bodies have been burned, and nothing can be found. The old man said indifferently.
"What?"
But at this moment, Ye Heng said lightly, as if he had thought of something. He looked at the old man strangely and asked, "More than 7,000 people in Hekou Village are dead. Why aren't you dead?"
In Ye Heng's words, all of a sudden, everyone's eyes shot at the old man, which was indeed a puzzling place.
"Do you suspect that the old man killed them?" The old man said, "You really look up to old people."
Xiao Chen released his soul idea and looked at the old man. He found that the old man was indeed just an ordinary person, not a demon, and had not even practiced martial arts. He said that it was absolutely impossible to kill more than 7,000 people in Hekou Village.
At that moment, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "My father-in-law, you misunderstood. That's not what my brother meant. We just want to find out the cause of death of the villagers. They definitely did not die of strange diseases. I hope you can cooperate with us to find out the truth of the matter. In this way, we can also give justice to those dead villagers and make them revenge.
"Are you sure they didn't die of a strange disease?" This time the old man got serious.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded solemnly and said, "I'm sure that they are definitely not sick. There must be another reason."
"Good! For the truth, the old man took you to dig my wife's grave. The old man made up his mind, got up from the ground and staggered to take Xiao Chen forward.
At the tomb, Xiao Chen penetrated directly through the soil layer with a powerful soul power to investigate the old man's wife.
"Sure enough, as I expected, the death of the villagers in Hekou Village was the work of demons." Just an investigation, Xiao Chen affirmed the cause of these deaths.
At this moment, the old man was just about to dig the tomb, but was stopped by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen said, "My father-in-law, no need, I already know the real cause of your wife's death."
"Ah! How did she die?! The old man suddenly became excited.
Xiao Chen can't explain to the old man, because he can't explain it clearly at all, so he has to say: "Your wife and even the villagers of the whole Hekou Village are killed by traitors. I'm here for the real murderer this time, so I hope you can provide us with some clues to destroy the real murderer.
"This is natural. Just ask, what the old man knows will be told." The old man said.
"Ha ha... That's really great." Xiao Chen nodded and asked, "Excuse me, father-in-law, what strange things happened in Hekou Village before the villagers died?"
"Strange thing?" When the old man heard the words, he frowned and fell into meditation. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "No."
"Are there any strange places near the Hekou Village, such as altars, ancient tombs, ancient forbidden places and so on?"
"This...no."
"None?" Xiao Chen was puzzled. Originally, he planned to hear some clues about the evil spirit from the old man's mouth, which seemed to be disappointed.
Gu Xiaowei and others also shook their heads repeatedly and were extremely disappointed.
However, at this moment, the old man suddenly said weakly, "I don't know, is this strange?"
"Oh, let's talk about it." Hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly came to his senses and said hurriedly.
"Ye, it's a long story." The old man sorted out his thoughts and said, "To the north of this place, there is a mountain in the primitive forest of more than 300 miles, and dozens of villages nearby call this mountain a divine mountain."
"God Mountain?" Xiao Chen and others felt that things seemed to have a chance.
"Ye�. Originally, this mountain was called Dayang Mountain, but this kind of blood-red wild fruit grows in the mountain, which can not only strengthen the body, but also have the magical ability to exorcise diseases. Therefore, we all call Dayang Mountain the divine mountain. The implication is the mountain given to them by God to protect them from diseases.
"Oh." Xiao Chen and others nodded, thinking that the blood-red wild fruit should be some kind of treasure, which was not surprising to them, but the old man's next words attracted the attention of Xiao Chen and others.
"However, just six months ago, all the people who entered the divine mountain to pick wild fruits never came out again. Later, they went to the village to look for people, but only found the body. Later, this situation also occurred in other villages. Everyone thought that there were ghosts making trouble, so many villages gathered money to invite the great mage, but the great mage entered the mountain and disappeared for a few days. After that, the search team found the body of the great mage in the mountain.
"Later, several large village heads thought that they had angered the mountain gods, so they held a great sacrifice and slaughtered 300 sheep and 50 cattle. Under the leadership of the village heads of six large villages, they led 800 strong men into the mountain to sacrifice to the mountain gods!"
"What about the result?" Gu Xiaowei was fascinated and asked.
"As a result, the 800 strong men who took cattle and sheep to sacrifice and the village chiefs of six large villages completely disappeared into the divine mountain. The subsequent search team did not even find their bodies. In the end, this matter is over, but no one dares to go to Shenshan.
"So that's it. Three hundred miles, divine mountain, missing people, demon spirit.
After listening to the old man's story, Xiao Chen caught the key words. In the combination of the demonic atmosphere he sensed, Xiao Chen felt that there must be an intrinsic connection.
Perhaps, the giant demon that released the demon spirit was hidden in Dayang Mountain. Not long ago, he woke up and began to devour the souls of the living people. In the end, no one went up the mountain and began to go down the mountain to devour the villagers.
"Oh, thank you for your direct words." Xiao Chen made up his mind, thanked the old man, and then said to Ye Heng and others, "Let's go to Dayang Mountain."
"What?! Are you going to Dayang Mountain? Young man, that place is very dangerous. The old man quickly dissuaded him.
"Ha ha..." Xiao Chen smiled and said, "My father-in-law, we are the mage who specializes in exorcising demons and monsters. There are demons in the mountain. We must exorcise them, so that they will not harm the people, so that you can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Oh... then you have to be more careful." The old man said doubt.
However, the next moment, the old man completely believed it, because he saw Xiao Chen and others stepping on the auspicious clouds, flying on the ground and flying straight to the Dayang Mountain. He was so shocked that the old man fell to the ground. He thought he saw the immortals and said repeatedly, "It turned out that it was a god who came down to earth. It was really eyed by heaven. This time, it will definitely eliminate evil spirits and return peace to the world."
