Those missing wooden figures were all hung from the rafters!
"Damn it!" Xiaoshuai retracted into Mu Yu's clothes.
Those wooden figures are really carved too much, especially after looking at the color. If you don't look at the wooden eyes, they are no different from real people.
Each wooden figure has a hemp rope tied around its neck, hanging freely to the east, more than four meters above the ground! The other end of the hemp rope is firmly tied to the beam, and the "squeaking" sound is caused by the friction between the hemp rope and the beam.
At first glance, those wooden figures seem to be hanging from the rafters.
Mu Yu calmed down and felt that he would rather fight the Ghost Sect for hundreds of rounds than see that weird sight. Even when he was in the Sand Eagle Demon King's underground palace, he wasn't that nervous when he faced so many zombies.
Because there is no certainty where the Inferi comes from. According to Xiao Shuai, the Inferi is a bit ruthless. But the wooden man didn't follow common sense at all. He just hung above his head in a daze, swinging very slightly. , and Mu Yu didn’t notice it at all when he came in!
The house had old-fashioned beams. The roof was built very high, and the wooden figure was also hung very high, more than four meters above the ground. As soon as Mu Yu came in, he looked around the room, but he never noticed anything unusual about the beams. .
When he looked up, he saw a dozen people in shrouds shaking. The scene was really horrifying.
"Little mouse, I'm too timid. It's useless for a few wooden people to scare me like that." Long Teng laughed.
"Is there anything delicious there? Of course he is timid." Xiaoshuai muttered.
In the past, Xiaoshuai acted very brave when he encountered the souls of the dead. Could it be because there were delicious things like formations attracting them? The temptation of delicious food can make Xiaoshuai brave and fearless. . But if there was nothing to eat there, Xiaoshuai could no longer muster the courage.
Mu Yu was actually frightened, and he yelled: "Damn, is it a prank? Hang the wooden figures on the beams, and he will watch those wooden figures sleeping when he goes to bed in the morning. Won't he have nightmares?"
He thought he was very brave and saw a lot of weird things, such as dead people, inferi, and souls! This is the first time that Bu Nao encountered the strange thing of hanging a wooden man from the beam.
"It's strange, those people don't smell like wood anymore, didn't I notice Mu Yu?" Long Teng said strangely.
As soon as Ryuto reminded him, Mu Yu suddenly came to his senses. No wonder he didn't find the wooden man when he came in. It turned out to be that reason! The wooden man no longer has the characteristics of wood!
Mu Yu dodged and floated up, stopping next to the wooden figures. All the wooden figures were shaking slightly, but they were not colliding together.
He touched the arm of a young woman with a pale face. The statue of the young woman looked sickly. Although it was made of wood, there was a strange vitality in the wood, like a beggar. Just come alive.
That weird vitality covered up the smell of wood, making them less like wood.
Mu Yu could clearly feel whether the life force came from the hemp rope around their necks, but if there was nothing weird connected to the other end of the hemp rope, then it could be said that there was something weird about the hemp rope itself.
Mu Yu took a closer look and found that it was not a hemp rope at all, but a material that had never been seen before. It was not a plant, and there was life force flowing in it that he didn't know where it came from.
"There is no ladder in that room. How could a mortal in Chen Erzhuang hang them up here?"
Muyu wandered around among all the wooden figures curiously, trying to find out what was unusual about those wooden figures. Apart from floating around, there was nothing special about the wooden figures.
But at that moment, Mu Yu actually saw a familiar wooden man!
Old Xutou!
"Why is the old man's statue there?" Mu Yu was extremely surprised. If the wooden man's eyes weren't focused, he would have thought that old Xu Tou himself was hanging there!
Mu Yu originally thought that those wooden figures could be carved at will, but now it seems that is not the case.
He looked at all the wooden figures in Yidong again, and found that except for the young woman with a pale face who had just touched them, the wooden figures in the remaining ones were all old men and women. They looked like they had already stepped into the coffin.
The most important thing is that Mu Yu discovered that the old woman with age spots on her face carved by one of Dongwu's waiters was missing!
"Wait a minute, don't those people want to die soon?" Mu Yu guessed in his heart, and then shook the coward who couldn't help complaining in his arms, "Xiao Shuai, I think the old man who received them is very disgusting. How long do you live?"
Guys like Xiaoshuai are like the Lord of Hell. Whoever dies will basically not survive. Bu Nao Muyu warned it before not to talk nonsense about who will seek death, so Xiaoshuai basically won't talk too much about that.
"Is that the old man who said he was a little mouse? He should die tomorrow evening. He is in very bad health, so he can hold on until then." Xiaoshuai said dissatisfiedly, and he was very worried about Old Xutou now.
"What? What disease does he have?" Mu Yu didn't notice the problem with Old Xu's head at first. He was focused on untying the heart-breaking array outside Old Xu's head and didn't care about anything else. He thought that Old Xu's head was outside his body. The vitality is very strong!
"No matter what the disease is, he should have lived well, at least ten years, right? But if it weren't for that formation, it would be the Lost Heart Formation. Didn't I notice? It sucked the life force of that guy. "Xiao Shuai said.
Mu Yu frowned. At that time, he felt that the patterns of Bu Dong's Lost Heart Formation were different, but he didn't pay attention to it. Now it seems that he has overlooked something.
When I came to the statue of Old Xu Tou, I found that the wooden man in front of me seemed to be more and more lifelike, and even the chest -
My chest is heaving! Does the wooden man with old Xutou breathe
"Did it come back to life?" Mu Yu felt that things were getting more and more bizarre. He didn't notice any abnormality when he helped Old Xu Tou check his body.
"Wait, he seems to remember that phenomenon. Let him think about it..." Xiaoshuai stuck out his head, stretched out a paw, and gently poked "Old Xutou"'s arm, suddenly showing a surprised expression.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yu asked.
"He knows, it's not a formation technique, but a very special kind of Gu technique. He remembers seeing it somewhere. Anyway, he can't tell clearly. The Lost Heart Formation is used to activate the Gu technique. The Gu technique and The formation technique is different. After the Gu technique is activated, the Lost Heart Formation becomes dispensable. Oh! Even he was wrong at that time!" Xiaoshuai was a little surprised.
"Gu magic?"
Mu Yu remembered hearing his master say something like that before. It was like cultivating worms outside a person's body. It was used to punish a person and make him obediently do things. Otherwise, he would not be able to survive but die. But Mu Yu didn't know exactly what happened, as he had never experienced Gu.
"This Gu technique will transfer the vitality of Old Xu Tou to that wooden man." Xiaoshuai stretched his legs again and pulled the face of "Old Xu Tou" and said seriously.
"Did I say that the wooden man would come back to life, and then the old man would die?"
Mu Yu was very angry in his heart. He was always grateful to kind people. Although the way Old Xu Tou spoke made people laugh, he was a warm and kind person. Could Mu Yu just watch him die inexplicably? red.
Xiaoshuai tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "He doesn't know. It feels like the function of that wooden man is to replace the old man and then use it to hide something. It's not very clear. He also doesn't know how to remove the bewitching spell." ."
"Hide something? Wait! He feels something is good."
Mu Yu remembered. At that time, Old Xu Tou said that Mr. Zhao did not kill everyone, but he said "he will wait for the day we die to greet each of us and our descendants." Does that mean that he did not kill everyone? The reason why other people died
Should we take the lives of villagers in another way
Mr. Zhao died of old age naturally. He ran out just after being sent to the Mass Burial Valley and took away all his descendants. And if that guy wants to take them and their descendants away, he has to wait until they die
Could it be that the souls of those who died naturally cannot be collected, so he thought of another way to encourage those people to die quickly
Mu Yu felt a chill in his heart, that kind of behavior was somewhat similar to that of the Ghost Sect members.
When he was imprisoned in the valley, he followed Father Kumu out to treat the mortals who were infected with the plague. Later, he found out that the plague was not spread intentionally by the ghost sect, so he collected the souls of those who died naturally to refine the body. Nine arrays are used to wrongly deal with the Red Ape Demon King.
Could it be that the guy who popped up from nowhere and wanted to get the third heaven also wanted to collect the souls of natural death to refine something weird
"No, they have to find a way to stop that. It seems that if they carve those wooden figures, they will transfer the lives of the villagers to the wooden figures, creating the illusion that the villagers died naturally." Mu Yu clenched his fists.
"That's wrong, Mu Yu, there is that coffin hanging from the beam in front. I asked them to go and see what's weird?" Long Teng reminded.
"Damn it, big earthworm! Do I have to fight against the coffin?" Xiao Shuai said cursingly. It looked like it didn't like those things very much.
But Mu Yu had already gone to the east, closed the door of the room again, and then walked to the front yard.
Chen Erzhuang has already gone to hold funerals for them, so the store door is closed. Mu Yu walked into the store from the yard and found that the store was very dark with no light at all.
The store was no different from yesterday, with the weird coffin still hanging from the rafters by ropes.
The split-shadow sword in Mu Yu's leg lit up with cyan light, illuminating the entire room even more gloomily. He carefully landed next to the coffin, slowly slid open the coffin, and looked inside the coffin with the help of the blue light of the Shadow Sword -
There was an old man with wrinkles lying inside!
Mu Yu carefully looked at the old man in front of him. Naturally, he didn't recognize the dead man, but when he turned his attention to the old man's right leg, he discovered that the old man had four leg fingers!
"Wait a minute, his right leg has four leg fingers. He remembered that Old Xu Tou said that Mrs. Zhao also had four leg fingers on his left leg. Does that mean Mr. Zhao?" Mu Yu exclaimed.
The light from the Shadow Sword shone on Old Zhao's face, making it even more pale green.
Mu Yu didn't know why Mr. Zhao's body was there, but he suddenly heard a breath, and it came from Mr. Zhao's body!
"Damn it, isn't he alive?" The handsome little man screamed and burrowed into Mu Yu's clothes again.
