Chapter 163 An unusual appearance in the secluded village late at night (8000)

This was an intuition. He wanted to see if he could find anything useful. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Xu Bai raised his right hand, and a golden compass appeared. He stretched out his fingers and pressed it, and the true energy in his body surged out, stirring up a strong wind around him.

The golden compass rotated slowly, blooming with dazzling brilliance in mid-air, and then, the pointer on it suddenly turned crazily backwards.

"There's a show!"

He knew very well that a change like this should have occurred, and he could calculate something.

Sure enough, after the golden pointer rotated rapidly for a while, it gradually stopped. Then, the pointer pointed in a direction and trembled slightly.

Xu Bai squinted his eyes and looked in this direction, which was the backyard of the mansion.

"Go and have a look, maybe there's something we want in there."

Since the Feng Shui Sutra points to this direction, it must be effective.

Wuhua nodded and rushed towards the location Xu Bai said.

Xu Bai didn't stop and followed behind. He quickly walked through the luxurious front yard and reached the backyard.

The backyard is also very large. After all, this is a big family. The area alone is staggering. Unfortunately, because no one is there, although it is large, it is empty and filled with a smell of death.

.

When Xu Bai walked into the backyard with the golden compass, the pointer on the compass changed again and pointed in another direction. Xu Bai did not 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, when Xu Bai looked at this tree for the first time, he felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, and the source of these eyes was this tree.

It's a strange feeling. It's obviously just a tree in front of me, but it looks like a living person.

"Have you noticed anything wrong? For example, this tree always gives people the feeling of being alive." Xu Bai asked.

The pointer is pointing to this tree. This tree must be related, but the most important thing now is the feeling just now, which is very wrong.

When Wuhua heard what Xu Bai said, she shook her head and said, "I don't have any other feelings. I look like a very ordinary tree."

As if to confirm his feelings, Wuhua walked around the tree several times, looking 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 and stood next to Xu Bai and looked up and down. However, after looking for a long time, he still found nothing. He shook his head gently and said softly: "Master, there is nothing unusual. This is just an ordinary tree."

, Young Master, have you discovered anything?”

She also couldn't see the situation. In front of her, the tree was very ordinary and normal. It didn't give people the feeling that someone was watching it, as Xu Bai said.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said to himself: "What a weird thing."

He obviously had this feeling, and even 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 at him.

But why is he the only one who feels it?

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. Someone is watching, and it comes from this tree, so just start from this tree. It's a very simple thing, and there is no need to go around.

Xu Bai pulled out the black sword from his waist and waved it gently, countless fragments exploded and surrounded the tree.

Just in an instant, the towering ancient trees turned into debris all over the sky and disappeared without a trace, while something also appeared in the ancient trees.

——Corpse.

Hidden in this withered old tree was a corpse. The corpse was covered with scars and was dressed in silk and satin. It looked like it belonged to a wealthy family.

He was about fifty years old, a man, and there was an aura of superiority between his eyebrows. Even after death, that aura can still reach people's hearts.

"This is... the head of the Gao family?" Wuhua reacted quickly and took out a piece of paper from his arms. On the paper was a portrait. The person in the portrait was exactly the same as the male corpse.

Those who work in their profession 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 there as if alive. Except that he was not breathing, he looked just like a living person. Of course, the scars on his body were shocking.

Wuhua held the portrait in his hand and walked around the male corpse. Finally, he found fatal wounds on the neck of the male corpse.

"There are tiny bruises all over his body, and the wound on his neck is a fatal wound. It seems that he had a fierce fight with someone before he died, otherwise he would have been killed all at once."

"But why was his body hidden in the tree? Is there anything weird in the tree?"

"There are other corpses, why aren't they here?"

Wuhua started talking to himself, every sentence was a question, but there were no clues to these questions.

At this time, Ye Zi suddenly spoke.

"Sir, perhaps there is something new to be discovered at the original location under this tree."

"I once saw this method of hiding people in trees in an ancient book, but the purpose was not recorded in the book."

"It just means hiding the corpse in the tree and burying the corpse at the bottom of the tree. That's the method."

When Xu Bai heard what Ye Zi said, he turned to look at the golden compass in his hand. The pointer was still pointing to the same position. No matter how he moved it, the direction of the pointer would not change. In other words, in the end, it was still in front of him.

location.

If there is no change, 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 gurglingly and quickly rolled to the side, maintaining the posture of facing the loess.

At this time, Xu Bai saw that there was a hole under the tree, and there was a putrid smell coming from the hole.

Corpse odor.

The strong smell of corpses made Xu Bai cover his nose and take a step back.

Although the cave entrance is not big, you can see from the outside that there are densely packed pale corpses lying inside, some of which have rotted and there are maggots crawling on them.

"Found them. It turns out they are all dead, not missing." Wuhua said in shock.

Even if the whole picture cannot be seen, it can be seen from the hole that these people are wearing the clothes of servants. In addition, the entire Gao family has disappeared, and hundreds of people have disappeared inexplicably. It is easy to associate them together.

"The missing Gao family was buried under the tree, and the tree gave me the feeling of being looked at directly."

"What do these guys want to do? Does the Gao family know something and kill people to silence them?"

"Or... similar to those demon masters we met before, who want to use human life to open some kind of passage?"

Xu Bai carefully thought through his thoughts. After thinking for a while, he looked at Wuhua and said, "Brother Wuhua, it seems that we have to dig up this place."

As he said that, he took Ye Zi's hand and silently stepped back.

The whole picture cannot be seen clearly from this hole alone. If this is the case, dig the hole and see if there are any clues inside.

As for who dug it, of course it was Wuhua.

This smell smells disgusting. It's not that Xu Bai can't adapt to it, but he doesn't smell it when it's not necessary.

This is like going to the toilet. The toilet may be smelly enough, but you can still get used to it, but getting used to it and liking it are two different things.

It's impossible for someone to run to the toilet and take a few sniffs when they're fine, right?

The corners of Wuhua's mouth twitched slightly, but he also knew that he had already said it and it was hard to refuse.

Originally, Wuhua was an honest person most of the time. Of course, this honest person was also very cunning sometimes.

But at this time, he felt there was no need to refuse.

Of course Wuhua would not dig it, there is an easier way.

Rays of light appeared on Wuhua's body, and the light gradually gathered and covered Wuhua's whole body.

This is the wonderful method of Vajra Temple, Vajra Body.

Xu Bai's Diamond Heart Demon Body was still derived from this fusion. He had seen Wu Hua use it before, but it was not as strong as it is now.

Today's Wuhua gives people a sense of unity, like an airtight bucket, which looks very resistant to attack.

"Hmm... I don't know if you can resist my punch." Xu Bai thought to himself.

Originally, Wuhua planned to take action immediately, but for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with Xu Bai's eyes when he looked at him, as if his hands were itchy and he wanted to punch him.

Without any trace of ink, he raised his right foot and slowly stamped it on the ground.

"Boom!"

A dull sound rang out, and the next moment, the land in front of him cracked open and collapsed.

At this time, the scene below was revealed.

There are hundreds of pale corpses, lying horizontally or reclining, stacked or scattered, in a huge pit.

The pit is centered on the ancient tree and is surrounded by a circle.

If the ancient tree had not been destroyed by Xu Bai at the beginning, the ancient tree seemed to have become the brightest child in this circular pit.

No, to be precise, it is the body of the Gao family leader.

"Who... is this person so cruel and guilty?" Wuhua clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.

The Vajra Temple has always been responsible for subduing demons and eliminating demons. Most of the monks there are full of evil spirits. After all, people who do this kind of work these days will have some. Of course, they also often practice Buddhism, so the Buddha on their bodies

It has stronger sex and can cover up evil spirits.

There are bodhisattvas with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and there are vajras with angry eyes.
