Dark clouds came from nowhere and covered the sun.
Gu An was riding on his horse, frowning slightly as he saw that heavy rain might fall suddenly at any time.
Looks like we need to speed up a bit.
With a strong swing of his riding whip, Gu An sped up and galloped towards Longxu Village.
It took a full three hours before Gu An arrived at the foot of the mountain where Longxu Village was located.
An old man and a young man were waiting under the tree with umbrellas.
Seeing Gu An's young face and shiny bald head, he was stunned for a moment.
After looking at the clothes on Gu An's body, he realized what he was doing and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Yu Qisheng, the head of Longxu Village, has met your Excellency."
Gu An turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said: "Excuse me, I am the new Xiaoqi of Team 3 of the 5th Division of Baihu Station, Gu An.
Village Chief Yu, please take me to see the deceased first."
"Yes, my lord, please come this way, but the mountain road is difficult to travel, and my lord's horse can only be tied at the foot of the mountain."
Gu An nodded, handed the horse to the young man beside him, and followed Yu Qisheng along the mountain road, and the young man soon followed.
After about a stick of incense, we arrived at Longxu Village.
On the way here, Gu An also learned about the origin of Asparagus Grass from Yu Qisheng.
More than five hundred years ago, there was an evil dragon that lived in southern Xinjiang.
The overlords of Southern Xinjiang at that time, the Qian family and the Tao family, sent out a number of strong men in the Condensation Realm to fight with them for three days and three nights.
Blood spilled into the sky and fell to the ground.
It has changed the soil in many places, making the soil contain strong spiritual power.
Some large places were occupied by the Qian Tao family to cultivate elixirs for their own families.
The piece of land in Longxu Village was not discovered because it was hidden in a valley in the mountain.
When Xiao Yuhan raised his troops to conquer the world, the ancestors of Longxu Village went into the deep mountains and old forests to avoid the war, and discovered this treasure land in the valley.
At the same time, I discovered that the ground was covered with spiritual grass that looked like beards and exuded majestic spiritual power.
So he settled down here, and from time to time he asked his subordinates to quietly go outside to inquire for information.
Later, after the founding of the Qian Dynasty and Xiao Yuhan promulgated a large number of laws that were beneficial to the people, he slowly began to contact the outside world.
Because of money, I thought of selling the asparagus grass to outsiders in exchange for money.
At first, the Zhenxie Division came to investigate after discovering it, and found that the spiritual power contained in the grass could only be used to temper the body.
I also tried to grow other elixirs, but without exception, they all failed.
So the Zhenxie Division also gave up this place and left it to the ancestors of the Yu family.
Follow Yu Qisheng to the center of the village.
Everyone waiting in the center of the village showed surprise when they saw Gu An's young appearance, and couldn't help but doubt Gu An's identity.
But seeing that Gu An's clothes didn't look fake, they didn't question it.
Gu An lifted the white cloth covering the two corpses and frowned slightly.
Just as the reconnaissance office said, except for the blurred eyes, the rest of the body looked intact.
What was the murderer's purpose for killing?
Just killing for the sake of killing?
"Excuse me, village chief, and take me to the place where the deceased was found."
Yu Qisheng had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Sir, that place is so evil right now. We wanted to go in during the day to pick asparagus grass, but we walked several times and always returned to the same place."
Just returning to the original place, there is no fear of life.
It is estimated that the murderer cannot kill during the day and can only create illusions... Gu An thought silently.
"Can you please help the village chief point me in the direction? I'll go and see on my own."
Yu Qisheng nodded: "No problem."
After a while, Gu An followed the road and headed deep into the mountain.
After Gu An left, some villagers finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Village Chief, is this gentleman real? Why do you look so young?"
"Yes, why is he so young and still bald?"
"..."
Yu Qisheng sighed: "I saw his token and there was nothing wrong with his clothes.
Besides, no one dares to pretend to be a master of the Suppression of Evil Department.
Since he dares to come here, it means he must have some strength, so we can wait with peace of mind."
Rumble!!!
The thunder was louder than before.
A villager asked: "Village chief, why don't you give me an umbrella?"
…
Exuding a small amount of mental power, Gu An walked forward slowly.
According to Yu Qisheng, the treasure land is in a valley with smooth cliffs on three sides, and this road is the only way.
Suddenly, Gu An, who was walking halfway, raised his eyes and looked ahead.
The scenery remained unchanged, but Gu An felt the layering of the space in front of him, as if there was some kind of barrier.
But I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
At this moment, Gu An suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to be able to use mental power to fill his eyes, so that his eyes could break barriers.
When he was in Qinghe Town before, Gu An could see You Hongming extracting Yin Qi through the smoke and dust. This was because Gu An's vision had become much stronger after undergoing many body temperings.
So you can see what's going on inside through the physical smoke and dust...
Go ahead and test it out first, if it doesn't work, just use the barrier-breaker charm directly.
Thinking about it, Gu An stepped in.
Entering it, Gu An felt as if his mental power was isolated and he couldn't detect anything.
After pondering for two breaths, Gu An narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly widened them.
Whoosh!
In two breaths of time, his mental power quickly expanded from a distance of three feet around Gu An to a distance of fifty feet.
Before coming in, Gu An didn't want to waste too much mental energy, so he only released a small part of it, but now that he's come in, he doesn't have to worry about so much.
The effect of this was that Gu An sensed that the space in front of him, which was about forty feet away, had a clear sense of hierarchy.
It should be the exit.
Gu An immediately speeded up and moved forward.
Just when he was still about ten feet away from the exit, Gu An heard shouting coming from behind him.
"grown ups!"
Gu An stopped and looked back without changing his expression.
A villager who had been seen in the center of the village ran towards Gu An with an umbrella in his arms.
Soon he came to Gu An and pointed at the dark sky.
"Sir, the village chief saw that it was going to rain and asked me to bring you an umbrella."
With that said, he was about to hand the umbrella forward to Gu An.
boom!
Qi and blood burst out, the golden bell and iron shirt activated, and the big red hands instantly caught the person's neck and lifted him up.
The visitor's eyes widened, his hands kept scratching Gu An's arms, and he struggled to kick his legs.
"Sir...sir, you..."
The visitor hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Crack!"
Gu An directly broke his neck.
"Plop!"
He threw it on the ground casually.
Gu Jing looked at the corpse on the ground quietly.
In less than two breaths, the body began to wither.
