MTL - I Have Unparalleled Comprehension-Chapter 163 Anomalies appear in Youcun Village in the middle of the night (8000)
Chapter 163 Abnormal Appearance in the Village at Night (8000)
This is a kind of intuition. He wants to see if he can find something useful. Anyway, it’s worth trying.
Xu Bai raised his right hand, and a golden compass emerged. He stretched out his fingers and pressed it, and the true energy in his body surged out, stirring up a gust of wind around him.
The golden compass rotated slowly, blooming dazzling brilliance in mid-air, and then, the pointer on it suddenly reversed crazily.
"There is drama!"
He is very clear that a situation like this should have changed, and what can be calculated.
Sure enough, the golden pointer spun rapidly for a while, then gradually stopped, and then, the pointer pointed to a direction, trembling slightly.
Xu Bai squinted his eyes and looked in this direction, which was the backyard of this mansion.
"Go and see, maybe there is something we want in there."
Since Feng Shui Suanjing points to this direction, it must be effective.
Wuhua nodded, and rushed towards the location Xu Bai said.
Xu Bai didn't stop, but followed behind, and quickly walked through the lavish front yard to the back yard.
The backyard is also very large. After all, this is a big family. The size alone is already staggering. Unfortunately, due to the fact that there are no people here, although it is very large, it is empty and full of a sense of death. .
When Xu Bai walked into the backyard with a golden compass, the pointer on the compass changed again, pointing in another direction. Xu Bai didn't stop, and continued walking in this direction, and soon came to an old tree.
This tree looks very strong, but the leaves on the branches have fallen off. Although it is still alive, it gives people a feeling of being old.
I don't know why, the first time Xu Bai looked at the tree, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him, and the source of these eyes was the tree.
It's a very strange feeling. It's just a tree in front of me, but it looks like a living person.
"Have you noticed that there is something wrong? For example, this tree always gives people a feeling of being alive." Xu Bai asked.
The pointer is pointing to this tree, and this tree must be related, but the most important thing now is the feeling just now, which is very wrong.
Wuhua heard what Xu Bai said, shook her head and said: "I don't have any other feelings, I look like a very ordinary tree."
As if to confirm the feeling in her heart, Wuhua circled the tree several times, looked up and down carefully, but found nothing.
Xu Bai looked at Ye Zi again, meaning can you see it.
Ye Zi followed Xu Bai's example, stood beside Xu Bai and looked up and down, but after looking for a long time, he still found nothing, shook his head lightly, and said softly: "My lord, there is nothing abnormal, this is just an ordinary tree. , Young Master, have you found anything?"
She also couldn't see the situation. In front of her eyes, the tree was very ordinary and normal. It didn't have what Xu Bai said, and it gave people a feeling of being watched.
Xu Bai stroked his chin, and said to himself, "It's really a weird thing."
Obviously he has this feeling, including now, this feeling has not disappeared, and it also makes his back feel cold. He always feels that someone is watching silently, and the gaze is not concealed, staring straight.
But why only he can feel it?
It doesn't matter.
It doesn’t matter if someone is watching, and it comes from this tree, then start from this tree. It’s a very simple thing, and there is no need to go around at all.
Xu Bai drew out the black knife around his waist, and with a light wave, countless fragments exploded, surrounding the tree.
In just an instant, the towering ancient tree turned into debris, disappeared without a trace, and something appeared in the ancient tree.
—corpse.
In this withered ancient tree, there is a corpse hidden. The corpse is covered with scars and is dressed in silk and satin. It looks like it is still a wealthy family.
He was about fifty years old, he was a man, and there was an aura of a superior in his brows. Even after death, that aura could still reach people's hearts.
"This is... the head of the Gao family?" Wu Hua quickly realized that he took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was a portrait, and the person on the portrait was exactly the same as the male corpse.
Those who do their business will definitely collect information in advance, so it is normal for him to have this information.
After the male corpse appeared, he did not fall to the ground, but stood where he was, as if he was alive. Except that he was not breathing, he looked the same as a living person. Of course, the scars on his body were shocking.
Wuhua took the portrait in her hand and walked around the male corpse, and finally found a fatal wound on the male corpse's neck.
"The whole body is full of small bruises, and the wound on this neck is a fatal wound. It seems that before he died, he had a fierce fight with someone, otherwise he would have been killed all at once."
"But why is his body hidden in the tree, is there anything weird in the tree?"
"There are other corpses, why are there none here?"
Wuhua started talking to herself, every word was the problem, but there was no clue to these problems.
At this time, Ye Zi suddenly spoke.
"Young Master, perhaps there is a new discovery at the original location under this tree."
"I have seen this method of hiding people in trees in an ancient book, but the purpose is not recorded in that book."
"It's just saying that hiding the corpse in the tree, burying the corpse under the tree, is this method."
Hearing what Ye Zi said, Xu Bai turned his head and looked at the golden compass in his hand. The pointer was still pointing to the position just now. No matter how he changed, the direction of the pointer would not change. That is to say, it was still in front of him in the end. s position.
has not changed, then this place is the key.
Looking at the male corpse standing in front of him, Xu Bai raised his foot and kicked it over. The male corpse rolled and quickly rolled aside, maintaining the posture facing the loess.
At this time, Xu Bai saw that there was a hole under the tree, and there was a rancid smell coming from the hole.
Corpse smell.
The very strong corpse smell made Xu Bai hold his nose and take a step back.
Although the opening of the hole is not big, it can be seen from the outside that there are densely packed pale corpses lying inside, some of which have been decomposed, and maggots are crawling on them.
"I found it. It turns out that they are all dead, not missing." Wu Hua said in shock.
Even if the whole picture cannot be seen, it can be seen from the inside of the cave that these people are wearing the clothes of servants and servants. In addition, the entire Gao family disappeared, and hundreds of members of the family disappeared inexplicably. It is easy to associate them together.
"The missing Gao family was buried at the bottom of the tree, and the tree gave me a feeling of being directly watched."
"What on earth do these guys want to do? Could it be that the Gao family knew something and killed them to silence them?"
"Or...similar to those demon masters I met before, want to use human life to open some kind of channel?"
Xu Bai carefully stroked his thoughts, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Wu Hua and said, "Brother Wu Hua, it seems that we have to dig this place."
As he spoke, he took Ye Zi's hand and silently stepped back a few steps.
You can’t see the whole picture from this hole. If that’s the case, dig this hole and see if there are any clues inside.
As for who dug it, of course it was Wuhua.
This smell is disgusting, not because Xu Bai can't get used to it, but because he doesn't smell it when there is no need to smell it.
It’s like going to the toilet. The toilet is smelly enough, but you can still get used to it, but getting used to it and liking it are two different things.
It is impossible for someone to go to the toilet to sniff a few mouthfuls when someone is free, right?
The corners of Wuhua's mouth twitched slightly, but he also knew that he had said it all, so it was hard to refuse.
Originally, Wuhua is an honest person most of the time. Of course, this honest person is also very cunning sometimes.
But at this moment, he felt no need to refuse.
Of course Wuhua will not dig, there is an easier way.
Rays of brilliance appeared on Wu Hua's body, and the light gradually gathered and covered Wu Hua's whole body.
This is the wonderful method of the Vajra Temple, the Vajra Body.
Xu Bai's Vajra Heart Demon Physique is still obtained from this fusion. He has seen Wuhua use it before, but at that time it was not as strong as it is now.
The current Wuhua gives people a sense of unity, like an airtight bucket, which looks very resistant.
"Hmm... I don't know if I can resist a punch from me." Xu Bai secretly said.
Originally, Wuhua planned to act immediately, but for some reason, he always felt that Xu Bai looked at him in the wrong way, as if his hand was itchy and wanted to punch him.
He didn't ink any ink, lifted his right foot, and stomped on the ground slowly.
"Boom!"
A dull voice sounded, and the next moment, the land in front of him cracked and collapsed.
At this time, the scene below was revealed.
Hundreds of pale corpses, lying horizontally or reclining, superimposed or scattered, were in a huge deep pit.
The deep pit is centered on the location of this ancient tree and surrounded in a circle.
If the ancient tree hadn't been destroyed by Xu Bai at the beginning, the ancient tree seemed to have become the brightest cub in this circular deep pit.
No, to be precise, it was Patriarch Gao's body.
"This... who is so cruel and guilty." Wuhua folded her hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
The King Kong Temple has always been committed to subduing demons and eliminating demons. Most of the monks there are full of evil spirits. After all, people who work in this way of life these days will have a little bit of it. Of course, they also often practice Buddhism, so the Buddha on their bodies It is stronger and can cover up evil spirits.
There are Bodhisattvas with benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes, and there are Vajras with wrathful eyes.
But in the end, they are still monks, so seeing this scene in front of them, Wu Hua feels compassion.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he even wanted to come up with a scripture for salvation.
Occupational disease belongs to yes.
Xu Bai didn't feel anything. When he was born in this world and entered this circle, it is normal to see dead people, even if there are so many dead people.
He took a rough look and found that these corpses were covered with dense scars, and the last scar was the fatal wound on the neck.
"It's not right, it's absolutely impossible because they had a fierce fight." Xu Bai turned his head and said, "There must be a deeper reason."
These wounds are the same as the wounds on Patriarch Gao's body. There are fine wounds all over the body, and the final fatal wound on the neck. If these points are combined, it is absolutely impossible for the fierce fighting to remain.
To use a very simple analogy, in the Gao family, the head of the Gao family must be the strongest, there is no doubt about it.
If the opponent can beat Patriarch Gao to death after a fierce fight with Patriarch Gao, then this person is definitely stronger than Patriarch Gao.
And for such a person who is stronger than the Gao family leader to kill other members of the Gao family, does it still need to cause so many wounds and fierce fighting?
No need, not only no need, it can be killed with one blow.
So based on the above thoughts, Xu Bai felt that this person should have left such a wound on purpose.
"Could it be a special weapon?" Xu Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.
If a special weapon is used to cause such a wound, then all this seems to be well explained.
Of course, this is just his guess.
Xu Bai used Feng Shui Calculus again, and a golden compass appeared on his finger.
This time, he planned to use the corpses in front of him as clues to count them again.
But before he could do the calculation, a huge abnormality appeared the next moment.
There were originally hundreds of corpses in the deep underground pit, but with his movements, these corpses were quickly reduced to ashes.
Not only that, but even the corpse of Patriarch Gao on the ground turned into nothingness at the same time.
"What's happening here?"
The special situation in front of him made Xu Bai frown.
"Young master, look at the bottom of the deep pit, it seems that something is about to grow." Ye Zi suddenly pointed to the deep pit on the ground and reminded.
Xu Bai turned his gaze, and found that the soil in the deep pit was bulging.
It's like boiling water, densely packed with big bags.
This is the case for only one reason.
—There is something under the dirt.
"Be careful and see what is coming out?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said.
Everyone nodded and became alert.
The next moment, the soil that had bulged up in big bags suddenly shattered, and bugs flew out of the big bags one after another.
Each bug is at most the size of a thumb, and the ones flying out of so many bags are so densely packed that it is impossible to count them.
The little bug has wings on its back, and its whole body is black and shiny. Its triangular mouthparts make people feel disgusted, and it also has a strong corpse odor.
"What the hell." Xu Bai swung his black knife, and the fragments exploded suddenly, with infinite starlight, smashing the bugs in front of him.
These little bugs look scary, and they look very cautious, especially the sound of vibrating wings is extremely harsh to the ears, but their strength is not very good.
The fragments scattered some of the bugs, turning them into ashes. On the other side, Wuhua raised her hand slightly, and a ray of light shot out, and the rest of the bugs were also wiped out.
But Wuhua's expression is very serious, and it's obvious what she saw from these bugs.
Xu Bai saw that there was something wrong with Wu Hua at a glance, and frowned, "But what did you find?"
Wuhua nodded, with a serious face, and said in a slightly low tone: "If my guess is correct, these bugs should be from the Gu God Sect."
Gu God Religion?
This was the first time Xu Bai heard of this name, so he couldn't help being a little curious. He turned around and looked at Ye Zi, and saw a trace of shock on Ye Zi's face.
"Have you heard of this name?" Xu Bai asked.
As his little knowledge expert, Ye Zi is very sensible. When Xu Bai asked the first sentence, he already knew what Xu Bai wanted.
Ye Zi told what he knew...
"The Gu God Sect is an extremely evil organization. The doctrine they believe in is to use humans as Gu to raise the first-class Gu insects in the world."
"They have one characteristic, that is, where they pass, no grass grows. As long as they are human beings, they will be brutally murdered by them. No matter whether there is hatred or not, they kill aimlessly."
"After killing a person, the Gu insects are injected into the corpse, and the corpses are used to raise Gu. The purpose is to cultivate ferocious Gu insects."
"Now it seems that the Gao family's 100 members have all been used by them as instruments for raising Gu."
Whilst talking, Ye Zi shook his head, obviously he felt bad luck when he mentioned this so-called Gu God Sect.
Raising Gu?
This thing is very understandable, and there are relevant contents that have been circulated on the Internet in previous lives.
But it is the first time he has heard of using corpses to raise Gu.
"My lord, I'm afraid the only one who can deal with you here is the Gu God Sect." Ye Zi said.
"It is said that people who pass on the Gu God Sect never associate with others, because in their eyes, except for their so-called Gu God Sect, no one else is worthy of being with them."
"If you were to force yourself to be with them, I'm afraid it would have been reduced to a tool for them to raise Gu. After all, there have been examples, and there are many examples, almost nine out of ten."
After listening to Ye Zi's explanation, Wuhua also added a sentence.
"It is precisely because of their characteristics that so far, they have basically been hated by gods and ghosts. No matter whether they are righteous or evil, they are unwilling to interact with them."
Xu Bai rubbed his chin, and said: "If this is the case, it is much simpler, at least it will not involve more forces, wait, anyone who is with them, as long as they are not from the Gu God Sect, will be reduced to their fosters." Gu's tool?"
He looked at the big, empty pit. The corpse had long since disappeared, leaving only some worm debris.
"If it is said that if you are with them, it will become a tool for raising Gu, is the Gao family planning to harm me before?"
As I said just now, this group of Gu God Sect's murderers are just to raise Gu, and don't care who the other party is.
But now it happened that the Gao family had made a move, and everyone else was fine. It is possible that the Gao family was planning to deal with them together.
Thinking like this, it seems reasonable.
"Whether we deal with Master Xu or not, we seem to have lost our clues now." Wu Hua smiled wryly.
Everyone has died, and there is no follow-up result. It doesn't matter what the Gao family is playing now.
"No, there are clues." Xu Bai smiled slightly.
In his hand, the golden compass reappeared, this time, he used the worm debris in the pit as a basis for divination.
Since the Gao family is gone, there are only the crumbs of this bug left, maybe something can be calculated.
The golden compass slowly rotates in mid-air, presenting a mysterious and strange feeling.
Gradually, the pointer on it moved, and Xu Bai's eyes shone brightly, which meant it was useful.
After a while, the vibration of the pointer gradually stopped, and then pointed to a direction, as if telling them that this direction was the source of the clue.
"Let's go and have a look." Xu Bai said.
This Feng Shui calculation is really a good skill. If it is like before, without this skill, he can only go back home to stop quietly, but now he has the initiative.
Everyone did not hesitate when they had clues, and left quickly in the direction pointed by the pointer.
The direction pointed by the pointer is a remote street. After they got out of the abandoned house, along the way, along the place pointed by the pointer, they went directly out of Lingyun Prefecture.
The road ahead is no longer the official road, but a wilderness, with no one around, except for the moonlight, it looks extremely deserted.
"Why did you bring us out? Could it be that they are hiding here?" Xu Bai thought to himself.
Although he felt very puzzled in his heart, Feng Shui calculations would not lie, so Xu Bai continued to follow.
After a few people walked for about a stick of incense, an abnormality finally appeared in front of them.
A small village appeared in front of everyone. Because the sky was too dark, the surrounding village was shrouded in black, which looked extremely strange.
"The village is still a small village, why is it here?" Xu Bai's doubts became more and more serious.
Everyone walked to the village, only to realize that because it was already dark, there was no one around in the village, and even the lights were not on.
"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Wuhua asked.
Xu Bai thought about it carefully, then nodded in agreement.
He has already come to this point, if he doesn't go in and have a look, he will feel very bad.
Everyone raised their guard and walked into this small village. The surroundings were quiet, except for some barking cats and dogs, only the sound of their footsteps.
Ye Zi suddenly whispered: "My lord, I don't know if you have noticed that there is no snoring here."
The quieter the environment, the more subtle sounds can be heard.
This is just a dilapidated small village again, the sound insulation of the rooms is not good, and everyone is a master, but they can't hear the snoring sound of sleeping.
Xu Bai frowned deeper and deeper, he always felt that this place seemed to be a dead place.
But the clean street told him that someone cleaned it here.
He stood there thinking for a while, and finally came to a house and knocked lightly on the door.
There is no other meaning, just want to see if there is anyone living in this room.
I thought no one would pay attention, but I didn't expect that after he knocked on the door, there was a sound of dressing in the room, followed by an old voice from above.
"Who is knocking on the door at night?"
The old voice was far away at first, but finally approached slowly, but did not open the door. It was obvious that he would not open it rashly if he did not know who was outside the door.
"Old man." Xu Bai softened his tone: "We are passing merchants. We lost our way because we were traveling at night. Can we settle down in the village and take a rest?"
"Squeak..."
Accompanied by Xu Bai's voice, the wooden door creaked slightly, and opened from the inside?
At this time, Xu Bai saw clearly the situation behind the door.
Behind the door, an old man with an old face was leaning on a cane and wearing thin clothes.
"Businessman?" The old man said vigilantly, "Don't lie to me, I tell you, everyone in the village is here, as long as I yell, they will come over, you businessmen don't go to the official post, what are you doing here? ?”
Xu Bai smiled, took out the money from his bosom, looked into the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "No way, in order to hurry, after all, some goods have to be delivered in a timely manner. I accidentally dropped it on the way, alas, now I only hope to go back early, not to make money."
After receiving the money, the old man did not let go of his vigilance, and still looked Xu Bai up and down, as if to see if Xu Bai was lying.
In terms of acting skills, Xu Bai is a master, and no flaws can be seen from the surface.
The old man looked at Ye Zi and Wu Hua next to him again, and asked suspiciously: "It's normal for you to have a woman by your side, but why is there a monk?"
Ye Zi was covered with a veil, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but it didn't arouse suspicion, but Wu Hua made the old man very puzzled.
A monk, where can there be monks in Hongshang?
As for the puppets of the fourth grade, they are dressed like people anyway, at least much more ordinary than a monk.
Xu Bai explained: "Oh... this is my brother who is not a talent. He doesn't like reading, but he loves worshiping Buddha. He just happened to be going to the temple in our place, so he came with me."
No flower: "..."
Good guy, this exchange, he suddenly fell down a generation.
Hearing Xu Bai's words, the old man looked at the winnings in his hand, then looked around, and finally pointed to a thatched pavilion not far away, and said, "The houses in the village are full, and I won't let you take it rashly." After entering the house, you rest on the pavilion, and I will ask someone to take you to the nearest city early tomorrow morning."
Xu Bai: "..."
He didn't expect the other party to be so vigilant, but he looked at the open space and nodded.
"Squeak..."
The door closed, and the surrounding fell into silence.
Xu Bai took Wuhua and the others to the pavilion, and found some wooden tables and stools on it.
This pavilion is very rough, it is built with a few pieces of wood and some thatch.
It should be built by some villagers themselves, and they don't know what the use of building it is.
Xu Bai sat on the wooden stool, looking at the night outside.
Wuhua asked: "Benefactor Xu, did you find anything?"
"No, how about you?" Xu Bai asked back.
The old man is normal, there is nothing wrong with it, and his behavior is normal.
Ye Zi shook his head.
Wuhua also shook her head.
They also didn't see any difference. On the contrary, they thought it was very ordinary.
"The more normal, the more abnormal." Xu Bai said: "My calculations won't trick me, just wait and see what's different tonight, or say tomorrow morning, after those people get up, we'll see Condition."
Everyone nodded, this is the only plan for the present.
Xu Bai raised his right hand again, and a golden compass appeared. After the pointer entered the village, it kept swinging around, sometimes up and down, sometimes left and sometimes right.
Of course Xu Bai can understand this situation, which means telling him that the whole village is his target.
Now that you're here, let's see what's going on here.
Xu Bai calmly took out the heavy sword technique, and continued to hold the progress bar.
The night is long, and the moon is our company.
It is now approaching the end of autumn, and the temperature drops suddenly at night. Fortunately, they are unusual people, and this temperature has no effect on them.
Under the moonlight, as the night deepened, even the barking of cats and dogs gradually stopped.
Several people were doing their own things without disturbing each other.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the bright moon in the sky gradually disappears into the clouds.
At this moment, Xu Bai suddenly moved his ears and looked in a direction.
Just now, he was fascinated, there are people in that place.
As Xu Bai looked over, a figure flashed past at the end of the street in the distance.
"Go!" Xu Bai put the book into the package and walked towards that location.
The figure was not fast, and everyone followed carefully.
Gradually, Xu Bai saw the figure clearly.
It was a person dressed as an ordinary villager. He was not very old, probably in his thirties. He was wearing tattered clothes at the moment, and he was looking around carefully, as if he was afraid of causing disturbance.
Xu Bai and the others followed while keeping an eye on the surrounding situation.
At this time, a melodious voice suddenly came out.
The sound is not a melody, it seems to be the sound of the wind blowing through the woods, rustling.
Originally in this wilderness, the sound of the wind blowing through the woods is normal.
But following this voice, Xu Bai suddenly froze when he saw the villager in front of him.
"Hey hey hey hey..."
A burst of weird laughter came from the mouths of the villagers.
The villagers' footsteps became stiff, and they walked forward step by step.
"That voice is not right, it can affect people's spirit, but it is weak." Xu Bai said.
"I have heard that there is a kind of Gu in the God Gu Sect, which can influence others through special syllables." Ye Zi said.
Xu Bai nodded: "Anyway, be careful, and be decisive when something unusual happens."
Ahead, the villager was still walking, and after about half a stick of incense, he finally stopped.
The place where the villagers stopped was a huge tree with lush branches and swaying gently. Obviously, the sound just now was probably coming from this tree.
"I'm coming, beauty, I'm coming, come out quickly, I can't wait." The villager's voice was eager, but his movements were very stiff, forming a strong contrast.
At this time, the huge tree became abnormal.
At the center of the trunk, a crack suddenly appeared, and soon, a pale arm covered with corpse spots protruded from the crack.
This arm is as white as paper, and densely packed corpse spots emerge on the arm, which looks extremely terrifying.
Following the appearance of this arm, a naked female corpse emerged from it.
The female body is covered with corpse spots, and some places have begun to rot.
The most important thing is that the eyes of this female corpse do not have eyeballs, but two big empty holes, which seem to be full of despair.
In the big hole, there are two weird Gu worms standing in it, vibrating their wings and making a rattling sound.
Obviously, the sound that could affect the soul just now was made by these two Gu worms.
"Jingle Bell…"
At this time, above the giant tree, there was a crisp bell ringing.
The ringtone is crisp and it sounds really nice.
Xu Bai raised his head, looked in the direction of the bell, and saw a woman standing on a dense tree branch...
I have a severe cold, my head hurts, and I'm a little stuck, but it's not a big problem
