Logically speaking, Xitang Miao Village has excellent Feng Shui, with mountains, water and ponds. Like this Xitang, it is obviously like a natural mirror, and the ancestral hall of Miao Village is facing this Xitang.
A village with excellent Feng Shui like this will have rich people sooner or later, either rich people or high-ranking officials. Unexpectedly, something like this happened now.
This shows that no matter how good the Feng Shui environment is, if people's hearts are broken, all kinds of bad things may happen.
Xiao Chen stood here and looked at the stilted buildings in the distance, and then at the cemetery on the hillside in the distance.
It is very possible that the feng shui of this cemetery has affected this Miao village.
However, Xiao Chen has no control over Feng Shui matters.
What he has to do now is to find the murderer in the village as soon as possible.
From the water source problem in the water tank last night, Xiao Chen could tell that the murderer was still in the village.
"Xiao Chen, what do you think we should do next?" Sang asked.
"Of course we will continue the investigation."
Now those patients who were poisoned by the human grass plant poison have not yet recovered, and Xiao Chen cannot leave, so they still have to stay in this Miao village.
And according to his master, Master Miao, this is probably related to the witchcraft sect.
In other words, the murderer who committed the crime in Xitang Miao Village was probably a member of the Wu Gu Sect.
Moreover, this member has been lurking in Xitang Miao Village for a long time.
But why wait until now?
Xiao Chen wondered if the bones under other tombs on that hillside had also been damaged?
Moreover, Xiao Chen also knew that people who raise voodoo would usually harm others, or they would easily develop autophagy.
And some people who raise voodoo fish may also need other people's corpses to raise them.
From the dead old lady, to Long Asheng, and even to the patients who were poisoned, their birth dates all had problems.
Have a question about your birth date?
Then it's probably related to the murderer's target.
Because from the birth dates of those who had the accident, Xiao Chen found that they were all born in the lunar month of the lunar year.
If you add people who were born on a Yin day, they are extremely Yin people.
Some people who practice witchcraft like to use these corpses to do things or achieve their goals.
However, Xiao Chen did not mention this to Chief Long.
Just a thing.
Just when Xiao Chen wanted to sit on a stone, he was hurriedly pulled up by Sang.
The Miao villagers here have great respect for stones, big trees, etc., so you can see many with some talismans posted here, and even some red threads tied here.
"Xiao Chen, don't sit on the rocks. It's easy to get stone poison here."
Xiao Chen naturally knew about stone Gu.
However, when Xiao Chen saw this stone, he found that it was indeed marked, which meant that it had probably been touched.
Xiao Chen did not sit down, and kept walking with Mo Xiaowan and Sang for a long distance before stopping.
But Mo Xiaowan couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Although she studies science and believes in science, since she met Xiao Chen, she and Xiao Chen traveled around and saw many strange things.
"The big stone just now must have been moved by someone. In other words, there is someone in Xitang Miao Village who knows how to cast poison. I just don't know who this person is?" Sang said.
She felt that this person was well hidden, and perhaps even the Dragon Clan Leader and the others didn't know who this person was who knew how to cast poison.
Those who know how to cast poison are generally respected or feared.
To be respected by others means that if you are poisoned by someone, you can go to this witchcraft master to remove the poison, just like going to a doctor for treatment.
If it scares people, it means that this person often casts poison to harm others, which is why others stay away.
A few decades ago, in the Miao Xinjiang region, there were still many old people, including some old ladies, who knew how to cast poison.
However, now fewer and fewer people know how to play poison, and those who play poison also hide themselves and will not show that they have played poison in front of outsiders.
Therefore, it is as if the members of the Witch Gu Sect are hidden, and they don't even know who they are.
If it weren't for the fact that so many people had been poisoned this time and each one of them died within a few years, no one would have noticed.
There is no doubt that this is the scariest thing.
"So, I am sure that the murderer is in Miao Village. Moreover, late last night, I saw a figure, but he walked too fast and didn't notice it."
"Xiao Chen, what do you think this person wants?" Sang asked.
"Of course they want to stop me from continuing to investigate."
Xiao Chen felt that the more it was like that, the more he wanted to find out.
Back to Miao Village
It was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun here was not very bright. This may be due to the height of the Miao Village.
Now here, it can be said that we live in a place one or two hundred high.
When they saw Xiao Chen and the others returning, Patriarch Long's wife, grandma, had already started preparing lunch.
Lunch is also the usual food that Miao people like to eat, such as cured fish, bacon, and glutinous rice, as well as the rice wine here.
After the grandma prepared lunch, Xiao Chen and the others finished lunch together with the patriarch Long and his wife.
In the afternoon, when Mo Xiaowan went back to his room to rest, Xiao Chen, Sang and Chief Long asked about the gatekeeper of the ancestral hall in his room.
"Chief, do you know the gatekeeper of that ancestral hall?"
"Of course I understand. In terms of age, he is seven or eight years older than me. In terms of seniority, he ranks seventh in the village, that is, Uncle Long Qi. When he was young, he had a marriage."
Have you ever been married?
How is this possible?
Didn’t the uncle say that the other party was a bachelor?
"I asked the uncle, and he said the janitor was a bachelor."
"Actually, he did have a marriage. The woman was from another Miao village, but that woman's family did not agree with her marrying here."
"Why? Is it because you think he is poor?"
In Xiao Chen's opinion, a few decades ago, everyone should have been very poor, and there was nothing to dislike or dislike about it.
"It's not because he is poor, but because our Miao village and another Miao village cannot intermarry."
Can't intermarry?
Xiao Chen was even more surprised.
In fact, this is not surprising at all. This kind of thing is not only found in Miao villages. In fact, this kind of thing also happens in Han people. Many neighboring villages do not have the same surname. Because of hatred, they still still have it today.
Without intermarriage, men and women could not be together. If it had been in the past, they would have been imprisoned in a pig cage.
Therefore, here in Miao Village, it is more normal.
"I heard that the two of them originally wanted to elope, but for some reason, Uncle Long Qi came back on his own, and has not gotten married ever since. As for that woman, we in the Miao village have never seen her, and we don't know.
Where is that woman? That woman’s family once came here to ask Uncle Long Qi for help, but instead, Uncle Long Qi said that the woman’s family hid her, and they don’t know where they hid her.”
