The cold night wind blew across the canyon mountain road, and the strong smell of blood and coolness seemed to seep into the blood vessels of the people present.

The corpse hanging on the steep slope slowly swung, and blood was still ticking down.

The weird little baby is gone.

Chen Mu swallowed, looked at the corpse and said, "Did you all see it? It shouldn't be that I was dazzled just now."

The seven gourd demons stood quietly, not recovering from the shock.

As monsters, they have seen many bizarre and bloody scenes on weekdays, but the scene that happened in front of them really made them feel inexplicably cunning.

Especially the weird baby that emerged from the abdomen.

It looks cute, but combined with the scenes he appears, the impact on vision and cognition is particularly terrifying.

"Is it a demon?"

Chen Mu turned his head and asked at the gourd second.

The second child shook his head: "I don't know, it's the first time we have seen this."

"Maybe it's a Gu?"

Chen Mu stroked his chin and secretly guessed in his heart.

I saw the power of the Gu insect in Dongzhou. Thinking of the behavior of the young man just now, it is hard not to remind people of being controlled by the Gu poison.

Shao Siming and Wucai Luo, who were originally staying in the carriage, walked to him and looked at the hanging corpses and fell silent.

"Let the body be down."

Chen Mu thought about it and asked the seven gourd demons to put these corpses on the ground one by one to check.

Judging from the wounds of these corpses, these people should have experienced the "children" incident that the young man had just suffered.

What about the babies they gave birth to?

Could it be that he disappeared with the strange baby just now?

In addition, there are no specific restrictions on these people, both men, women, young and old, so it can be concluded that babies can parasitize in anyone's body.

Chen Mu also used Yin and Yang techniques to carefully check the physical condition of the corpse, but no traces of the poison had been found.

"Have you noticed it?" Chen Mu looked at Shao Siming beside him.

The girl stared at the corpse on the ground with her clear eyes for a long time, but she had no choice but to shake her head gently.

"From the map, this place belongs to Fenghuazhou. Even though it is remote, there have been so many murders and no officials have come. It is too abnormal and serious dereliction of duty."

Chen Mu probably calculated the death time of each corpse and took out a small notebook to record it.

He tried hard to recall the situation in Fenghuazhou.

This place is a relatively remote area in Dayan. Although the overall economy is convenient and backward, the advantage lies in stability.

In addition, Tianming Valley lives here, and most of the people believe in the goddess.

And there are many temples of goddesses.

With the blessing of faith, even if some poor families have unhappy life, they can always be comforted.

Of course, the court had also worried that Tianming Valley would use its own influence to brainwash the people. However, after several investigations, no problems were found, so they gradually felt relieved and allowed Tianming Valley to develop.

As for some other situations, Chen Mu just browsed it and did not understand it in detail.

After the corpse information was recorded, Chen Mu asked the seven demons of the gourd to carry all the corpses on the platform not far away, and simply covered them with something to cover them.

In order to prevent the corpse from being eaten by wild beasts, he asked Shao Siming to form a simple small formation with talismans. This simple formation also has the effect of delaying the corruption of the corpse, which is enough to obtain more time to investigate.

"First go to the village below to see it, hoping to dig out some clues."

Chen Mu said lightly. "Tomorrow, go to Fenghua City to find the prefect and send someone to investigate the case. Those who can be buried will be buried."

Although the case was strange and strange, Chen Mu did not have the intention to investigate it as soon as possible.

The most important thing he has now is to go to Tiandesity Valley to protect his wife, and he has no intention of paying attention to the rest even if the sky falls.

...

After about ten minutes, the group arrived at the village.

What surprised Chen Mu was that this village was not as dilapidated and backward as imagined, but was quite neat and comfortable.

Each house is surrounded by green bricks and green tiles, surrounded by plants and trees, and the alleys are also neat. It can be seen that the government seems to have renovated this village.

But compared to the rich and prosperous village, the overall atmosphere is extremely deserted.

There are no dogs barking, pigs humming, smoke rising from cooking, no chickens crowing, ducks crowing, and cattle and horses raising, and there are no one who can see the figure when entering from the entrance of the village.

It is so deserted that people have the illusion that this village is forgotten in the world.

"The people who died just now should be from this village."

Chen Mu signaled the two girls to follow behind and said lightly.

Judging from the size of the village’s houses, there are about 70 households, so more than half of the villages are here, but the scene is so deserted, it feels like no one is living there.

The seven gourd demons knocked on several families in turn, but no one agreed.

Later, everyone simply broke into the door and checked. The room was clean and the furniture was arranged neatly, but there was no one.

“A little like the space world of Dust Village.”

Chen Mu scraped the table with his fingers hard, and there was no dust on his fingertips, and he said slowly. "But this is not a space world, but a reality. The villagers must be here, but they just don't live at home."

"Will there be any monsters in this place? That's why they hide in fear?"

The third son of the gourd guessed.

Chen Mu nodded: "There is such a possibility, but before the truth is revealed, all the speculations are just speculations."

Several people left the house and continued to search.

As the sky became darker, the village gradually became shrouded in darkness and seemed to disappear into the night at any time.

Soon a few people came to a stone tablet.

The stone tablet stands in the middle of the village, with only two lines of characters engraved on it: Born as a careless person, the destiny cannot be violated!

"Destiny..."

Chen Mu gently stroked the words on the stone tablet and murmured in a low voice.

The Hulu Lao Si next to him said at the top of his voice: "Can it be that the destiny valley is causing trouble."

The boss of the gourd had a dull voice: "I have heard that Tianming Valley is also a well-known sect and should not do such evil things."

"Haha, which famous and upright faction has never done anything dirty."

Lao Wu looked sarcastic.

While everyone was talking, Lao Qi suddenly pointed to a temple in the distance and said, "Look, it seems that a light is on there."

Chen Mu looked in the direction he pointed, and there was indeed a temple with dim lights lit up in the distance.

"Go and take a look."

Everyone present was a master, and Chen Mu had nothing to worry about, so he took Shao Siming and others to the temple to prepare for investigation.

Perhaps the villagers were hiding there.

When I came to the temple, I found a headless stone statue standing outside the temple. The stone statue could be seen as a woman with fairy spirit.

As expected, this should be a stone statue of the goddess.

But why is it gone?

"There are people outside!"

At this moment, a sound suddenly sounded in the temple, and then several figures flashed on the window paper against the light, as if everyone inside was awakened.

Are the people in the village really hiding here?

But why does this sound sound a little familiar, it seems...

Before Chen Mu could think more, the temple gate suddenly opened with a bang, and a figure flew out, looking at them with weapons in a warning.

When Chen Mu and others saw this person clearly, they were all stunned.

"Old Six?"

The gourd dick exclaimed.

That’s right, the person who flew out of the temple was Hulu Lao Liu, and the sound he made in the temple just now was also him!

But the question is...why are there two gourd elders?

Everyone looked at the gourd Lao Liu beside them, and then at the gourd Lao Liu opposite them. For a moment, everyone present was confused.

Even the 'Lao Liu' who flew out of the temple looked dumbfounded: "You...you..."

At the same time, other people in the temple also came out one after another.

Chen Mu and others widened their eyes again.

Because it was not someone else who came out, it was them themselves!

The seven gourd demons, Chen Mu, Shao Siming and Wucai Luo all appeared in the temple exactly the same, and their expressions were also confused and shocked.
Chapter completed!
