When the old storyteller saw Du Chun staring at him with a malicious look, he immediately understood what Du Chun was thinking.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Xianzi Du, you don't think that I slaughtered those villages, do you?"
Du Chundao: "This matter has been strictly sealed. Only a few sects know about it, and there is no news about it in the world. How did you know about it?"
The old storyteller said: "Chickens don't pee, they all have their own ways. As for the source of my information, please don't go into details."
As long as Fairy Du knows that I am not a bad person."
Du Chun said calmly: "You didn't do it, and you are very clear about this matter. Let me ask you if Xiaochuan did this."
The old storyteller didn't have much reaction, but Yuan Xiaolou's reaction was very intense.
Originally she knew nothing about this matter.
After hearing the conversation between my grandfather and Du Chun, I learned that in the past three months, a demon had been traveling down the Yangtze River, from the land of Bashu to Jinling City.
The method of killing turned out to be a strange method of devouring.
Yuan Xiaolou was not familiar with this method before.
However, when Ye Xiaochuan left three years ago, the seventh volume of the Book of Heaven, the chapter on beasts and monsters, was exactly the method of devouring it.
There was a terrible thought in her mind, could it be Xiaochuan?
When I thought of this, I happened to hear Du Chun ask his grandfather if it was Xiaochuan who did it.
Yuan Xiaolou instinctively shouted: "How could it be Xiaochuan! Xiaochuan is so kind, there is absolutely no way he would kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
The old storyteller waved his hand and said: "Girl, don't get excited, I'm afraid it's Ye Xiaochuan who did it, not just Du Xianzi."
Yuan Xiaolou shouted: "Grandpa, why do you even say that?"
The old storyteller said: "There are very few true magics or magic weapons in the Three Realms that can swallow up a person's flesh, blood, and soul instantly and silently.
It just so happened that Ye Xiaochuan had it all on him.
Changsheng Jue can instantly swallow the flesh and blood souls of all living beings within a certain range, and the method of swallowing he has practiced is also possible if he practices it to a high level.
But Fairy Du, this matter has nothing to do with Ye Xiaochuan.
Ye Xiaochuan is your best friend and you have known him for many years. You know very well what kind of person he is."
Du Chun said: "I also know it's not him, but among the murderers outlined within the Cangyun Sect, he is the most suspected."
The old storyteller showed a sad smile.
He took out a package from the cloth bag with a bamboo pole and curtain that was leaning on the side, and wrapped it in Gebu.
Opening the Gebu, there was actually a parchment scroll inside.
The old storyteller asked Yuan Xiaolou to remove the food and wine from the table and spread the parchment rolls on the table.
Obviously, this is an ancient map, and it is a map of southern Middle-earth.
It has black lines and red dots drawn on it.
The largest red dot is Cangyun Mountain in the southwest of China.
Near Cangyun Mountain, there are densely packed red dots. Some red dots exist alone, while others are connected by black lines and extend in a meandering manner.
Neither Du Chun nor Yuan Xiaolou understood the purpose of the old storyteller taking out this sheepskin map.
If it is a topographic map, it is too simple. There is not even any text identification about the towns on it, but some famous mountains and rivers have corresponding names.
Gradually, Du Chun seemed to notice something was wrong. She saw a line of connected red dots that seemed to correspond to the approximate locations of the twenty-seven villages along the river that were massacred.
The villages corresponding to the previous twenty-seven red dots have already suffered, and there are two more red dots on this line.
She pointed to the line and exclaimed in shock: "This... the murderer massacred the village according to this line?"
The old storyteller nodded slightly and said: "The twenty-seven villages that have been slaughtered are not without any connection. From the land of Bashu to Jinling City, there are at least hundreds or thousands of villages along the river. These two
The seventeen villages were not chosen randomly by the murderer, but based on the markings on this map.
There are a total of twenty-nine red dots on this line, and now twenty-seven of them have been removed, leaving only the last two."
Yuan Xiaolou said: "Grandpa, tell me what is going on."
Yuan Xiaolou is too kind to see innocent people die.
If the murderer really chooses his targets for slaughter based on these red dots, then the villages corresponding to the next two red dots may also suffer in the near future.
It is even possible that the village will be massacred tonight! The old storyteller said hoarsely: "This map is a map of the earth's veins in the southern part of the world.
The line where the murderer killed is a vein hidden underground."
Du Chun and Yuan Xiaolou were both not mortals, and they understood immediately.
People have human nature, and ghosts have their own ways.
The reason why the world seems to live together harmoniously is because they all follow their own laws.
The veins of the human world are just like the veins of the human body, intricate and complex.
Some veins can be seen, others cannot.
For example, water veins, mountains, and dragon veins in the human world can all be observed with the naked eye.
But underground, there are veins like spider webs.
Such as underground water veins, underground magma, and mysterious and mysterious veins.
Earth veins are also called Yin veins, which correspond to the dragon veins on the surface.
Generally, Yin veins are inseparable from underground rivers.
Ye Xiaochuan and others once entered the Yin-Yang Road controlled by the Demon Cult in Dead Lake. The Yin Qi of the Yin-Yang Road in Dead Lake passes through countless underground rivers connected to the Yin veins, all over Dead Lake, Southern Xinjiang, Western Region, and Central China.
The southwest area of Turkey.
The lonely ghosts who reside in the human world like dark and humid places the most. In order to avoid the spring thunder, they hide in the underground Yin veins.
Unexpectedly, there is actually a Yin vein under the Yangtze River.
Starting from Cangyun, it is connected to the outlet of Yangtze River.
The red dots on the map should be the connection points between the Yin meridians and the Yang meridians on the ground.
Yuan Xiaolou suddenly realized and said: "The murderer did not kill on land, but came up from the Yin veins.
Is it an evil spirit?"
Du Chun nodded in agreement and said: "Some powerful evil spirits that have existed for a long time are comparable to top human cultivators in combat power. Evil spirits like to devour flesh and blood and souls. If there are connection points between Yin and Yang meridians below these villages,
It's most likely the evil spirits wandering in the Yin veins did it."
Du Chun suddenly became a little excited now.
Cangyunmen secretly investigated for three months without any clues, and now they finally found a clue.
Unexpectedly, the old storyteller slowly shook his head and said: "It was not caused by evil spirits."
Du Chun said: "How can you be so sure?"
The old storyteller said: "Look at this Yin vein, it is connected to Cangyun Mountain, and the magic circle in Cangyun Mountain absorbs the evil energy of the earth veins, all relying on these Yin veins.
What the evil spirit swallows is the Yin Qi of the Netherworld. The Yin Qi of the Netherworld and the evil energy of the Earth's veins are two different things. The evil energy of the Earth's veins can even cause damage to the Yin spirit.
The Yin veins within 800 miles near Cangyun Mountain are filled with the evil energy of the earth veins absorbed by the magic circle, and are very surging. Therefore, the Yin spirits within 800 miles near Cangyun Mountain are floating on the surface of the earth. They are not
Dare to enter the underground Yin veins.
The first few villages that were massacred were all within 800 miles of Cangyun Mountain, and even the original Dingjiapu was dozens of miles away from the foot of Cangyun Mountain.
This continuous massacre was not caused by evil spirits, but by humans.
Someone is using this Yin vein to collect souls and seize souls!"
