"All the deceased died of excessive blood loss, but the strange thing is that there is no trace of blood at the place where the deceased died, and there are no wounds on their bodies..."
Nie Qingwu continued to tell the details of the deaths in the Miao village.
Although she spoke very little, one can infer from her slightly pale face as she recounted these things that the deaths must have been extremely cruel.
Deaths continue to occur in Miao villages in the southwest, and it is suspected that they are not man-made? !
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's brows knitted into a knot, and then he turned his head to glance at Lan Ling'er who was laughing and joking with Jiang Yuxin in the back of the car.
This kind of special incident usually doesn't happen in ordinary places. Since there are medicinal fields and caves in the Miao village where Lan Ling'er is, it is very likely that the incident happened there.
"What's the name of that Miao village?"
After frowning, Ye Feng asked Nie Qingwu in a deep voice.
"Baihua Village!" Nie Qingwu said.
"Sister Qingwu, have you ever been to Baihua Village? Isn't the scenery there much better than in the capital? There are wild trees and fragrant flowers. In the past, every year at this time, I would accompany my grandmother to the mountains to pick wild flowers and brew Baihua wine! Have you seen the old patriarch who never put down his pipe, Grandpa Agong, and Uncle Jiguo..."
As expected, as soon as Nie Qingwu said the name of the place where the incident occurred, Lan Ling'er in the back row asked excitedly.
it is as expected!
Although Ye Feng already had an inference in his mind, his heart still couldn't help but sink after hearing this.
Since the place where the incident happened was Lan Ling'er's hometown, the dead might be relatives and friends of this little girl.
"Are you from Baihua Village?" Nie Qingwu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that.
"Yes." Lan Ling'er nodded vigorously, pulling her clothes and proudly said, "Baihua Village is the number one village in the Shiwan Mountains. Everyone who comes out of the village will have a flower embroidered on their body as a mark. Mine is embroidered with a rhododendron flower!"
"Are there any ferocious beasts around Baihua Village?" Nie Qingwu asked upon seeing this.
"No, Baihua Village has the best hunters, and the wild beasts nearby don't dare to go there..." Lan Ling'er shook her head proudly.
Nie Qingwu frowned, then asked: "Then do you know Ang De, Sang Lin and Pu Qi?"
"Sister Qingwu, have you met Uncle Ande, Brother Sanglin and Brother Puqi?!" Upon hearing the voice, Lan Ling'er excitedly rushed from the back seat to the front, and said excitedly while pressing Nie Qingwu's shoulder.
Nie Qingwu shook her head and said bitterly: "I haven't seen it..."
Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh. Lan Ling'er didn't know what had happened yet, but he knew that the names Nie Qingwu was saying at this moment were probably the names of the people who died in the bizarre death incident.
"Sister Qingwu, Ye Feng, why do you have such expressions? What on earth happened in Baihua Village?"
Although Lan Ling'er had no ulterior motives, she could see that Ye Feng and Nie Qingwu looked different at this moment, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
"These people are all dead... and their deaths are very ugly, probably caused by vicious beasts..."
Ye Feng did not lie to the little girl, but told her the truth in a deep voice.
"Dead... This is impossible..." Lan Ling'er heard the voice and fell back to her original position with a pale face. She shook her head repeatedly and said in a crying voice: "Uncle Ande promised me that when I return to the Miao village, he would teach me to braid the most beautiful pigtails in the Shiwan Mountains; Brother Sanglin also wanted to take Puqi and me to the mountains to pick flowers. How could they be dead? You must be lying to me!"
Ye Feng remained silent. The more Lan Ling'er was unwilling to admit the facts, the more it showed how intense the pain in her heart was.
Jiang Yuxin also put aside the grudge between her and Lan Ling'er at this time, holding Lan Ling'er's hand tightly and constantly comforting her.
"When are you going to the Miao village? I'll go with you!"
After sighing lightly, Ye Feng asked Nie Qingwu in a deep voice.
The situation was strange, and he really couldn't feel at ease with Nie Qingwu taking people there; plus, those who died were all Lan Ling'er's friends, so he had to make this trip to help Lan Ling'er find out the truth about the deaths of her friends.
"According to the news from Baihua Village, the beast kills a person every three days, so we must rush there as soon as possible..." Nie Qingwu said.
Although Nie Qingwu did not mention a specific time, his implication was to set off immediately, the sooner the better.
"Then do it as soon as possible. Once we get back to school and place the Heavenly Saint Bronze Man, I'll go with you!" Ye Feng said with a wry smile.
He felt like a firefighter, and he had to rush to wherever there was a fire.
"One person died in three days?!"
At this moment, Lan Ling'er, who was sitting in the back seat and was extremely sad, suddenly looked up and asked Nie Qingwu in a deep voice, "Sister Qingwu, are you saying that every three days, someone dies in the village?"
"Yes." Nie Qingwu nodded, and then said softly: "Ling'er, don't worry, believe me and Ye Feng, we will definitely find the real culprit and help Baihua Village solve this trouble!"
"The legend of Wang Gu... This legend is actually true..."
But Lan Ling'er seemed not to hear what she said, and instead muttered to herself in horror.
"The legend of Wang Gu, what is that?" Upon hearing this, Nie Qingwu immediately asked urgently.
The Baihua Village murder case was extremely urgent. Although some people had entered the investigation in the early stage, there was no result at all. But now, according to Lan Ling'er, the murder case seemed to be related to this Wang Gu legend.
"This is a very old legend in the Shiwandashan Mountains. My grandmother told me this. It is said that a long time ago, the ancestor of the Sanmiao, Chiyou, was born in Baihua Village. He was brave and good at fighting, and he also used all his efforts to forge an extremely sharp and powerful sword. Poisonous insects were rampant in Miaojiang, and a powerful king Gu was born that liked to suck human blood..."
Lan Ling'er calmed down, and then slowly told the crowd an ancient legend:
"In order to let the Miao people live in peace, Chi You fought against Wang Gu, and then suppressed Wang Gu with a sword under the Qixing Ridge of Baihua Village. Although Wang Gu was suppressed, it issued a curse before being suppressed by Chi You, saying that one day it would break free from the suppression, and then kill a Miao citizen every three days to avenge Chi You!"
Upon hearing the voice, Ye Feng and Nie Qingwu couldn't help but look at each other, with shock in their eyes.
The situation in Baihua Village where one person dies every three days is indeed almost identical to the legend of Wang Gu told by Lan Ling'er.
Could it be that this mysterious murder was really the work of the legendary Wang Gu? !
But is it really possible that a king Gu from the Chiyou era is still alive today and can still wreak havoc? !
