Chapter 529 Old Village Masaru
Chapter 529 Old Village Masaru
Mei Xiangu's idea is indeed a way to break the impasse, and it seems to be the only way to break the impasse.
Zhou Ting thought about it and immediately said:
"If the evil spirit holding the big stick is also one of the innocent people killed by the villagers, since he has the ability to kill these villagers, why doesn't he just go into the village and kill the souls of these villagers?"
"Of course it was to torture the villagers. It killed the villagers' bodies and imprisoned them, not letting them leave. It wanted the villagers to live in fear for the rest of their lives, and they wanted to be unable to live or die."
Mei Xiangu said confidently: "Besides this, what other explanation is there?"
Zhou Ting was unable to refute for a moment, and at this moment, the sound of night watchmen attracted everyone's attention.
Following the sound of the night watchman, a ray of light shone into the guest room through the window lattice.
Tian Lin and the others in the room looked at each other. He looked at the incense and candles on the table and couldn't help asking, "This, it's only been half an hour, right?"
Zhou Ting couldn't help but say:
"Yes, although the incense and candles have burned out, time cannot pass so quickly. Besides, there is no daytime in the secret realm. How could it be dawn so soon?"
As they were talking, the sound of the night watchman disappeared, and was replaced by the laughter of the villagers.
At this time, footsteps were heard from outside. Tian Lin and Zhou Ting both went to the window and looked out.
Through the narrow gap in the window, I saw a group of four or five men entering from outside.
The leader of these men was an old man in a long gown. He was wearing a long gown and a square scarf, and seemed to be dressed like a scholar.
Behind the old man were two young men who were also wearing robes.
As for the two burly men behind the young man, they were dressed in shorts and were not as elegant as the two young men in front and the leading old man.
He and his group of five walked to the door and started knocking.
Bang bang bang sounds were heard, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Zhou Ting looked at Tian Lin and said, "I can't see through that old man's cultivation - as for those two young men, they are at least at the Nascent Soul stage."
Mei Xiangu, who was standing by, asked, "Will you open the door?"
The knocks on the door continued, and the old man's deep voice rang out from outside the house: "Sir, please open the door! I am the village chief of Ping'an Village, and I am here to report the situation to you."
"Will you open the door?"
Mei Xiangu asked Tian Lin again, and Tian Lin said, "Open the door. I'm afraid this door can't stop the village chief of Ping'an Village. If he gets angry, he might just take action."
Indeed, with the knocks on the door, the wooden door was in danger of breaking.
At this time, Wang Yanyu approached the door. She waved her sleeves and a gust of wind blew off the bolt.
With a "creak" and "bang" sound, the wooden door was knocked open from the outside.
At this time, the five evil spirits outside the door swarmed into the house.
The old village chief first bowed to Zhou Ting, then asked someone present, "Did the four officials have a good rest last night? Did the old night watchman treat you well?"
Several people guessed that the old night watchman he was referring to was the old man who welcomed Tian Lin and others into the village.
But what the old man said made everyone present change their expressions.
Mei Xiangu transmitted the message to Tian Lin: "Are there only four of us here? There are clearly seven of us, why did the old man say four?"
Tian Lin shook his head. He couldn't answer Mei Xiangu's question, and it was even more inappropriate to ask the old village chief at this time.
Zhou Ting's face also looked very ugly, and it was obvious that he had also noticed something was wrong.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile:
"We slept very well last night, thanks to the hospitality of the old night watchman. By the way, I heard from the old night watchman that you have prepared mummies, is it true?" Then the old village chief said: "Don't worry, officials. We were short of mummies a few days ago, but now we have enough. You can come and take a look at the quality of the mummies."
Zhou Ting wanted to refuse, but when he met Lao Cunzheng's resentful eyes, he couldn't say no.
The old villager just left the house, and Tian Lin and others followed Zhou Ting out one after another.
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw the bright sun hanging high in the sky. But where did the bright sun come from in the secret realm? From this, it was inferred that the scorching sun in the sky was obviously fake.
At this time, Tian Lin and others were looking at the villagers, and the villagers were also looking at Tian Lin.
As they walked forward, Mei Xiangu suddenly tugged at Tian Lin's sleeve and said, "Look at the villagers' decorations!"
She didn't need to say anything, the villagers' decorations also made Tian Lin and others gasp.
I saw that the villagers were old and young, male and female. The old and young were fine, but some of the women among them were clearly naked, which was very eye-catching.
Tian Lin sent a message to the people present: "All of these people have scars. The old village chief has a knife wound on his back, some have whip marks on their backs, and the naked women have strangulation marks all over their necks. Will this reveal how they died?"
Zhou Ting sent a message to Tian Lin: "If this is true, then it means that these villagers were not killed by the same evil spirit. Perhaps they did not necessarily die at the hands of the evil spirit."
They communicated in secret and did not attract the attention of Laocunzheng and others.
Several people followed the old village chief to a large courtyard in the village and stopped. Next to the stone well in the courtyard, several villagers were pulling coffins.
Soon, everyone saw a coffin being pulled out of the well.
Muramasa brought Zhou Ting to the coffin and opened the lid himself. A burst of corpse gas instantly gushed out of the coffin.
Fortunately, Zhou Ting was very powerful, so even though the strong corpse aura invaded his body, he was able to endure it.
"Officials, please come up and take a look at this body."
The old villager looked excited and urged Tian Lin and others as if he was asking for credit.
Tian Lin frowned and followed Zhou Ting to the coffin.
The two of them leaned over to take a look at the body in the coffin, and saw a corpse with a dark blue face hiding in the coffin.
"Hanba?"
Tian Lin sent a message to Zhou Ting, and Zhou Ting's face became uncertain.
Not to mention these villagers, just the thought of the drought demon coming out of the coffin, no one present would be able to resist it.
The old villager said, "This mummy has been kept for a long time and is already showing signs of becoming a walking corpse. May I ask the officials, what is the quality of this mummy?"
In the eyes of Tian Lin and his companions, the person lying in the coffin was a drought demon, but in the eyes of the old village chief, it was a mummy.
It can be predicted that the body in the coffin has been dead for many years. It may have been a mummy before, but as time goes by, this mummy has been kept in the corpse well for many years and has now become a drought demon.
"This, this mummy is really good."
The old village chief said again: "Bring up another coffin."
The villagers over there took action, and soon the second coffin rose from the corpse well. The old villager opened the coffin lid again and said to Tian Lin and Zhou Ting: "Several officials, come forward and take a look at the mummy inside. This mummy came here some time ago, and it has not been kept for long. It is much worse than the previous one!"
Tian Lin and Zhou Ting stepped forward and looked again.
It didn’t matter if they didn’t look this time. After seeing the corpse inside clearly, they both gasped.
