This village is no different from the vast countryside in Fengzhou. It is desolate and poor, with occasional yellow sand filling the sky.
In addition to hundreds of acres of cultivated land, farmers only have a few fruit trees that can still make money.
In the recent days of fleeing from famine, more than half of the villagers in Damao Village were killed or injured. They finally managed to find Master Qingtian. Not only did they receive relief food, many people also went to work as long-term workers in the Tang family's workshop.
As a result, within two days of the good days, I encountered gangsters pretending to be gangsters.
When Xu Zishuang led a group of innate masters and quickly arrived at Damao Village, even the guards who had always seen big scenes looked surprised.
Because there was deathly silence in Damao Village, all the villagers were hanged directly from the fruit trees by the gangsters, which was horrible to watch.
The fruit trees that the villagers originally used to exchange for money and food became the final burial place.
It looked like they had been dead for several days, and every villager's blood had been drained cleanly.
Xu Zishuang and others looked around and saw only emaciated mummies, including children, women, the elderly, etc. The methods were extremely cruel.
More than two hundred corpses were hung together in the fruit trees, which was particularly shocking. The surroundings were filled with flies, which was disgusting.
Just as the guards were about to approach, Xu Zishuang stopped her repeatedly:
"Wait!"
"The warriors with detoxifying and insect-repelling properties will go first."
"Get the panacea ready!"
"The others are on guard with divine machine crossbows!"
"Yes, sir."
The guards raised their divine crossbows one after another, looked for bunkers in the surroundings, arranged shooting points, and followed Chu Qianqiu's previous instructions, taking a panacea in advance to prevent emergencies.
That is to say, Chu Qianqiu's personal guards could have such luxury and use Baicaomen's wide-area detoxification pill as an ordinary pill.
Xu Zishuang personally took the lead and walked to a corpse, injecting soul into it to check their physical condition.
Chu Qianqiu's martial arts minister summoned the souls of the villagers, but they had been dead for a long time and there was no sign of their souls.
"Lord, these corpses are already dead and there are no mechanisms set up."
Xu Zishuang also checked it carefully and found no abnormalities. It looked more like a performance art.
"Zishuang, who do you think did this?"
Chu Qianqiu looked at the scene in front of him and said in a gentle tone, which made Xu Zishuang shudder. She quickly whispered:
"Lord, this is a bit like the Blood Demon Sect's technique."
"In the past, there was an evil sect in Daxia, known as the Blood Demon Sect. He had a martial arts whose name was very similar to the Blood Shadow Sect, and it was called the Blood Shadow Demon Sect."
"This magic skill can swallow human blood and use it to increase qi and blood. The effect is extraordinary, just like taking a blood pill."
"Later this sect was discovered by the Zhenwu Sect and all of them were killed."
"However, I have heard some rumors that there is still a lot of witchcraft in the Moon Shadow Kingdom overseas, and there are some remnants of the Blood Demon Sect active."
Xu Zishuang is the daughter who was cultivated by Duke Xu. She has a keener intuition about the world's trends than ordinary people. After all, she is the strategist arranged by Duke Xu for Xu Shi'an, but she was intercepted by Chu Qianqiu.
"Then what do you think they want to do?"
Chu Qianqiu nodded, and his judgment was similar. Under the encirclement and suppression of the major sects, the forces that dared to commit such bloody acts almost no longer existed.
Making mummies of more than 200 people in a village would be jointly pursued by the righteous forces. Who would do such a crazy thing?
The murderers at Kongang Temple had to find a reason to rebel and help the court suppress the rebellion.
"My lord, based on the speculation of my subordinates, they are probably trying to anger my lord by striking far away and fleeing directly."
"As long as the targets are ordinary villagers, it will be difficult to find corresponding clues."
"I'm afraid this has something to do with the matter in Yuzhou. They are stopping the lord from going to Yuzhou to delay time."
"So the villages along the road may be attacked."
"They could even announce that the village was being massacred and put the blame on the lord."
"Or use the teahouse to spread terrifying news and suppress the lord's prestige."
Xu Zishuang analyzed calmly.
"That makes sense."
Chu Qianqiu nodded. He represented the imperial court and was the force of righteousness. As long as the other party committed crimes in Fengzhou, he would create horrific and bloody cases one after another.
You are the world-famous General Chu, how can you turn a blind eye?
Although this is something that local officials and Six Doors should investigate.
"Burn all these people."
"I suspect they have additional means."
"This orchard is no longer available."
"Let the local magistrate and prefect conduct a rigorous search for the whereabouts of the gangsters."
Chu Qianqiu had no intention of relying on the Six Doors to investigate. After all, the most difficult cases to investigate in the world were those committed by people on the run.
As long as the warrior who committed this murder never appeared again, Chu Qianqiu could only start the cycle to catch him.
"Yes, lord."
Xu Zishuang nodded and motioned to the surrounding guards to take action.
Red Fire Pure Yang Kung Fu - Fire Dragon Burns the Sky!
More than a dozen innate warriors jointly displayed their military martial arts, and the originally dry woods burst into flames, burning the mummies.
These mummies made crackling sounds and a pungent smell when burned by the flames. Xu Zishuang and others were about to leave. At this moment, the fruit forest let out a whining sound. Under the burning of the red fire, there was a ghost.
Soar into the sky and pounce on Xu Zishuang!
"It is indeed a fierce ghost formation."
"It seems they are very ill-informed."
Chu Qianqiu's martial arts master resided in Xu Zishuang's body, and even a martial arts master would feel a headache. The fierce ghost rose up under the effect of the formation under the fruit forest.
This fierce ghost was covered in blood. The moment it hit Xu Zishuang, it was directly saved by Chu Qianqiu.
The golden light of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva flashed, and the evil ghosts were torn apart and restored into living people one after another.
"Is it a Bodhisattva?"
"Did the Bodhisattva come to save us?"
The dead villagers regained consciousness and burst into tears.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who killed you, have you seen their appearance?"
Chu Qianqiu asked directly, and the villagers shook their heads.
Chu Qianqiu had no choice but to put his soul deep into the villagers' sea of consciousness and directly check their memories.
…
A man in black, whose whole body was wrapped in black cloth and whose gender, age and child could not be clearly seen, appeared in Damao Village.
This man in black claimed to be a gangster from Lingzhou.
"You can't be a gangster."
"Those gangsters never bully us!"
"They are good people!"
A young man in the village shouted boldly, but his head was harvested by men in black, and blood burst out.
"I am a gangster."
"Why, aren't you convinced?"
"Then let's all die."
Blood Shadow Magic Skill - Crescent Scimitar!
The man in black controlled the young man's blood and turned it into terrifying scythes, harvesting all the lives of the villagers. The villagers had no memory of the rest.
"Then your ashes will return to ashes, and dust to dust."
"If Mr. Chu takes this matter next, he will let this man in black die without a burial place."
"Bodhisattva, wait."
"The boy also heard a voice."
The young man who was the first to question stood up and said quickly.
"Oh, what sound."
"It's the cry of a fox."
"It was a fox's cry, and the old man heard it too."
"Everyone wanted to run away, but after hearing the cry of the fox, they couldn't move their legs anymore."
"Please also ask Bodhisattva to avenge us."
The cry of a fox?
Could it be that the man in black is actually a monster?
There are monsters returning to the mainland from Yueying Kingdom, ready to counterattack as Xuanwu said?
Chu Qianqiu pondered for a moment and then made a decision.
"Don't worry, none of you will die, and the great revenge will be avenged."
