In the inner room of the stone house, a lamp is as bright as a bean.
The old village chief who had just brought Wang Chen food and wine suddenly knelt down in front of him with a thud!
Wang Chen asked calmly: "Old village chief, why do you do this great gift?"
The old village chief kowtowed to him three times in a row, causing his forehead to become bruised and swollen, with blood oozing out.
"Sir, please spare my life. Small crimes deserve death!"
"Get up and talk."
Wang Chen said calmly: "Let me explain it clearly first, so that I can know whether you really deserve death."
The old village chief got up with a grimace and told the whole story tremblingly.
It turned out that a few years ago, he discovered that something was wrong with Zhang Shitou, the hunter in the village, and his behavior was abnormal.
It is suspected that this hunter has been invaded by evil spirits.
But the old village chief did not publicize the matter or go to the county town to report it to the officials.
The first is that he has no direct evidence to prove this, and the second is that he has scruples.
If Zhang Shitou was not a demon, and he reported it to the blood-clad guards for investigation, not only did he greatly offend this violent hunter, but he would also conclude that the coffin was originally normal.
Lying about a demon's love is not a big or small crime. Can the blood-clothed guard make a wasted trip and treat it as nothing?
But if Zhang Shitou is really possessed by the devil, not to mention how much credit the old village chief will get, the entire backing village will have to be cleaned from top to bottom to ensure that no one else is possessed.
The old village chief has seen the case of corrupt officials taking advantage of their reputation more than once. That is to say, the backing village is really poor, otherwise there would be many such things.
So he kept it secret with a sense of luck.
In the past few years, Kaoshan Village has been safe and sound, and the stone has not shown any more abnormalities. The old village chief has long been relieved.
Or to be more precise, even if Zhang Shitou was different from ordinary people, he would ignore it.
As long as it doesn't affect the village!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoqi's family was suddenly killed.
The old village chief couldn't hide such a big event even if he wanted to, so he had to send people to the county town to ask for help.
When Wang Chen came back from slaying demons and mentioned Zhang Shitou, the old village chief couldn't help but feel guilty. Then the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally he couldn't help but confess to Wang Chen and apologize.
He knew very well that the results would be completely different if he confessed and if Wang Chen dug out the truth!
"S-lord."
The old village chief swallowed, reached into his arms, took out something, and placed it on the table shivering: "This is something that I got by chance many years ago. It is quite mysterious. I would like to dedicate it to you, adults."
As a reward!"
This thing was wrapped in layers of linen and it was difficult to see its true identity, but the expression and tone of the old village chief showed that it must be something extraordinary.
interesting!
Wang Chen took a deep look at the other person, reached for the thing, and unwrapped the linen.
The contents wrapped inside quickly appeared in front of Wang Chen's eyes.
When his true appearance appeared, Wang Chen's eyes suddenly froze!
This is a spear head, half a foot long and four fingers wide. Its dark golden texture exudes a simple and vast atmosphere. Fine lines are engraved on the surface, and the edges are straight and sharp.
But these were not the reasons that surprised Wang Chen.
A real seal rune is clearly etched in the middle of the spear head: Execute!
You must know that the characters and languages of the Cangqing Realm are different from those of the Haotian Realm, so naturally there are no true seal runes.
The head of this spear, which is engraved with the real seal script of "诛", most likely comes from the upper world, or has a close relationship with the visitors from the upper world.
But Wang Chen can be 100% sure that this spear head is definitely not a product of the Cang Qing Realm!
The way he looked at the old village chief couldn't help but reveal a bit of weirdness.
How could this guy be so virtuous that he could actually obtain and hold such a treasure for many years?
Wang Chen gently picked up the gun tip.
A strange feeling arose spontaneously, as if the thing in his hand was conveying some kind of message to him.
But very, very weak.
Wang Chen's heart moved and he suddenly asked: "Where did you get this thing from?"
"I want to hear the truth!"
The old village chief shuddered and hesitated before telling the truth.
When he was young, he went out with others and once made friends with a group of tomb robbers. The head of this gun was excavated from an ancient tomb.
There were no burial objects in this ancient tomb at that time, only a gray-white skeleton lay there.
The right hand of the skeleton holds the gun head, and it shines with colorful light. It looks like an extremely precious treasure at first glance.
Then the tomb robbers started fighting among themselves!
After a brutal fight, the old village chief luckily became the last survivor, but he was also seriously injured.
He returned to Kaoshan Village with this gun tip and never left his hometown again.
"It, it should make the evil spirits afraid to approach..."
Saying these words with difficulty made the old village chief's heart bleed.
This also involves the past events of that year. On the way back to the mountain village with his injured body, he once encountered a suspected demonic existence.
At that time, the head of the gun showed a magical effect, and the demon was frightened away.
The reason why the old village chief suspected Zhang Shitou was possessed by a demon was also directly related to the gun head!
He actually didn't want to talk about these things, and he didn't want to take out the gun at all.
But the old village chief knew very well that the young Wang Chen was by no means someone who could be fooled easily. If he didn't take out this thing to beg for his life, I'm afraid his family would be implicated.
Anyway, he won't live for a few more years. Instead of leaving this thing to his family, it's better to give it to Wang Chen!
"Fine."
Wang Chen flipped his wrist, put the gun tip into the storage space, then took out a banknote and threw it to the old village chief: "I took this thing, I don't want it from you in vain."
In fact, even if the old village chief didn't take out his gun to "pay bribes", Wang Chen wouldn't go to war over it.
But the other party was so well-informed and knowledgeable that he had no choice but to show off in order to avoid any liability.
How dare the old village chief accept it: "The common people don't dare."
"Just take it if you are told!"
Wang Chen's face darkened: "Where did you get all this nonsense!"
The old village chief immediately and honestly collected the banknote.
"very good."
Wang Chen waved his hand and said, "If this matter is settled, I will report it to the guard station and I won't involve you."
He had no intention of embarrassing the other party.
After the old village chief left with great gratitude, Wang Chen took out the gun tip again and played with it carefully.
After thinking for a while, he took out his feather gun and took off the gun head.
Wang Chen tried to put the newly acquired gun head on the gun body, but found that the sizes of the two did not match. But when he put a little more force, he heard a "click" and it fit perfectly!
Sure enough, it is famous!
Wang Chen tried to inject life energy into the gun body.
The new gun head immediately glowed with a faint light, and each rune lit up one by one. The word "Zhu" etched on its surface glowed with blood, disappearing and appearing as rhythmically as breathing.
