After discussing the case, it was indeed a bit late to finish dinner. Finally, the three of them rested for the night at the magistrate's house.
Before going to bed, a little maid said she was coming to "change" Wei Changtian on the master's order, but he kicked her out.
Just kidding, Xu Qingwan is in the next room.
Other than that, there was nothing to say all night.
Early the next morning, the three of them followed the two detectives and rushed to Liujia Village.
However, my face showed a bit of fatigue last week.
Wei Changtian found an opportunity and asked him with a smile: "Your breath is unsteady and your steps are sloppy. What did you do last night?"
"Ahem, I drank two more glasses of wine alone in the house."
"I see, but Brother Zhou, since we are martial arts practitioners, we should drink less on weekdays."
"Thank you Brother Wei for your concern..."
Zhou Cheng was stunned, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and he and Wei Changtian looked at Xu Qingwan.
The latter turned a blind eye and looked ahead, the red rope in his hair swaying a few times in the morning wind.
…
There are dozens of families in Liujia Village, most of whom are farmers.
Although the siege and killing of the chicken demon yielded some results, several men were also injured. In the end, the villagers reported the matter to the authorities after summarizing the situation.
I simply asked a few villagers about the situation and found out that this group of chicken demons were haunted, often carried out sneak attacks, and would come to the village every three days.
But he hasn't come in the past two days.
With such an uncertain matter, Wei Changtian and the others definitely didn't have the time to wait. After discussing it, they were ready to take the initiative.
Of course, you must be prepared before doing so.
Monsters like human blood and human flesh most. Although human flesh is nowhere to be found, human blood is plentiful.
Two detectives volunteered, took a wine bag and wandered around the village, and soon they came back with a bag of fresh human blood.
Donating blood for free is for the safety of the whole village.
noble.
With blood on their hands and a villager leading the way, the group soon entered Wanglong Mountain.
The forest was quiet in the early morning, except for the occasional chirping of birds and the sound of people walking on the dirt road.
After everyone walked silently for about two quarters of an hour, the leading villager finally slowly stopped and pointed to an abandoned earth temple hidden in the forest in front of them.
The yellow tiles on the roof of the temple are broken and incomplete, and the ruined walls are covered with weeds. Through the broken door, a statue of the Earth God with missing arms and legs can be vaguely seen.
"Several adults, those chicken demons often haunt this temple. I have seen them several times before."
Cultivating monsters and eating people under the eyes of gods is quite good at picking places.
Wei Changtian curled his lips, while the short policeman next to him had quietly walked into the temple, spilled all the blood in his bag, and then withdrew again.
All I can do now is wait for the demon to show up.
After a brief exchange of words, the five of them each found a place to hide in the surroundings. The villagers did not dare to return to the village alone, so they hid next to Zhou Cheng.
Soon, the forest returned to silence again.
The sun moved slowly above our heads, and the dew hanging on the grass blades slowly evaporated.
Nearly half an hour passed like this, but the chicken demon never appeared.
What’s more, it’s not like the protagonist really has a hard time doing anything...
With his back against a big tree that was as thick as two people, Wei Changtian rubbed his sore eyes and began to compare with Xiao Feng out of habit.
Although there are many monsters in this world, there has never been a good solution on how to identify and hunt for monsters.
Even for a professional organization like Willow Leaf Division, the only way to find monsters is to seduce them with human blood.
In the final analysis, it is due to the lack of tools that can detect evil spirits.
But Xiao Feng is different.
The reason why he knew that Zhang Hongwen feeds demons and that Yang Liushi is a fox demon was entirely because of a magical tool - the demon identification compass.
It will respond to monsters within a mile, and can even point out the monster's location.
Coupled with the special magical power of "Refining Demons", the upgrade simply shouldn't be too fast.
If I had such a thing, there would be no need to wait here, I would have gone and killed those chicken demons in one pot.
well……
If Xiao Feng is caught again next time, it doesn't matter whether he can be killed or not, but at the very least he must search his body first and grab all these good things.
It’s my first time being a villain and I still have no experience...
Wei Changtian sighed and looked up at a few people hiding in other places.
The two detectives, tall and short, couldn't see clearly because of the angle. Zhou Cheng looked as bored as himself, and the villager was sleeping next to him.
As for Xu Qingwan... this woman is quite dedicated. She is still carefully watching the movements of the Tutu Temple. Even her movements are exactly the same as before.
Like a clay Buddha.
Thinking of the Clay Bodhisattva, Wei Changtian turned his attention to the statue of the earth god with no head, feeling a little confused.
Land is the god of Taoism. Logically speaking, in a country like Daning that "emphasizes Taoism but neglects Buddhism", it should not suffer such treatment.
Even if no one worships the statue and it is abandoned, no common people should dare to do such a thing as "destroying the statue of God", which is punished by God.
Is it natural damage?
But although this ruined temple is in ruins, the main structure is still intact. This statue cannot be blown by wind or rain, so how could it lose its head?
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more something seemed wrong, and his eyes were fixed on the statue.
Then at a certain moment, he actually saw through a crack in the chest of the statue that something seemed to be moving.
Damn it?
A god hiding in a demon??
Wei Changtian did not jump to conclusions and observed for a while before finally confirming that there was indeed something hidden inside the statue.
Of course, it may not be those chicken monsters, but since waiting now has no results...
"Wow~"
The branches and leaves trembled for a while, and Wei Changtian stood up and approached the Earth Temple step by step.
Although the other people didn't know what he was going to do, they soon emerged from their hiding places and followed him.
It wasn't until Wei Changtian stopped ten steps away from the statue that Zhou Cheng behind him lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Wei, what did you find?"
Wei Changtian looked at the statue with vigilance and replied in a low voice: "There seems to be something in the statue."
"No way..."
Zhou Cheng was a little surprised: "These statues are all made of solid clay. Besides, so many chickens can't hide in such a small place..."
"I can't tell either."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "But I did see something move just now."
"this……"
Zhou Chenggang wanted to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by Xu Qingwan.
"You'll know if you take a look. We've been keeping an eye on this place. If those chicken monsters are really hiding in it, they must not have escaped now."
She seemed a little dissatisfied with the two grown men, Wei Changtian and Zhou Cheng, who were chattering away. After speaking, she walked forward directly without even pulling out the knife.
"Wait a moment!"
Wei Changtian opened his mouth behind him, trying to stop him.
He originally planned to throw a rock or something from a distance to smash the statue open. After all, it would be safer if there was something weird inside.
But before he could say anything, the earth god statue burst into flames, and then a short black shadow shot towards Xu Qingwan's chest.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and the delicate body flew upside down.
