Li Qiye quickly ran towards the direction where the silver needle was launched, and checked around, but did not see any sign of anyone.
It seems that this person's skill is higher than his. This person has been observing the actions inside the ruined temple, but he did not find any aura of this person. It seems that the identity of the person behind this incident cannot be underestimated!
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the matter was over, so we had to go back to the city first.
In the inn, there is one master and one servant.
"how?"
"Back to the Marquis, the two of them were killed without asking for too many clues."
"Dead?" Shuo Ling frowned. This was the only clue they had to understand the mysterious village.
Mo Li explained the situation clearly.
Suddenly he remembered the situation when the two died, and then said to Shuo Ling, "However, they were both killed when they said the word "Xiling" in their mouths.
"Xiling? Can you hear it accurately?"
Li Li nodded, "I'm sure."
"It's getting late, let's go and rest first."
After Mo Li left, Shuo Ling thought, Xiling? If this matter was really done by people from Xiling, it would not be as simple as just missing a few people.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt another burst of pain in his abdomen. Shuoling had no choice but to walk to the bed and lie down, but the pain did not disappear. He tossed and turned until dawn, and then the pain disappeared.
Before I could even sleep for a moment, I was woken up by the waiter in the store.
Li Li, who was on the side, heard the noise and got up to check. When he saw Sihe knocking on the door, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sir, that's it. Someone is looking for this young master outside." Sihe replied.
Hearing what Sihe said, he knew what was going on. Shuoling opened his eyes, stood up and tidied up a little, opened the door, and said to Sihe, "I already know, let this person wait for a moment."
"Young man, go and reply to this person right now." Sihe said and ran out.
Mo Li followed Shuo Ling into the room and closed the door.
After thinking for a moment, Shuo Ling said to Li Qiye, "There is something that you need to take care of next.".
"Master Marquis, just ask." Li Li responded.
He told Mo Li the whole story, "Yesterday, the Marquis had handed over the matter to the local government, and today he went to the Temple Village to find out. Just because the people in the Temple Village had seen the Marquis, and it was inconvenient to go there to check, we decided to You go on my behalf."
"Has the Marquis entered the Temple Village? Could it be that those two people yesterday were from the Temple Village?" Li Li asked with surprise on his face.
Seeing his Marquis nodding, Mo Li finally figured out what happened yesterday. No wonder someone was staring at them as soon as they arrived in Paradise City. After his Marquis said this, it was explained.
Shuo Ling briefly informed Li Li of what happened that night, and asked him to pay more attention to whether the villagers' expressions were strange, and to pay attention to the big altar in the village and the road into the village.
Li Li remembered them one by one and then walked out of the room.
After a hard night last night, Shuo Ling felt that his condition was very bad, so he went back to bed to catch up on his sleep.
Li Li followed He Zhang to the entrance of the temple village, and saw an old man over sixty years old, stroking his white beard, greeting them. There were villagers standing behind the old man.
The old man walked up to them and said with a smile, "I saw Mr. He coming all the way here, so I gathered the villagers to wait here. Mr. He's visit to our temple village really made our temple village feel better." It's an honor, don't you think so?"
With that said, the old man turned around and said to the villagers behind him.
The villagers all looked at He Zhang and said, "We are very happy that Mr. He can come to our temple village."
"Is this the leader of the Gu clan? There have been a lot of things happening in the frontier area recently, so I want to go to the villages to express condolences to the villagers. Let's start with your farthest temple village!" He Zhang said to the old man.
But at this time, he was very confused and felt very strange. This matter was done in secret. Why did these villagers seem to be waiting here specially for him to come
Hearing what He Zhang said, Chief Gu couldn't help but nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you are interested. This is really a blessing for us frontier people!"
With that said, the head of the Gu clan turned around and said to the villagers behind him, "Why don't you make way for your Excellency quickly and welcome Mr. He into the village."
"Sir, please." Chief Gu made a gesture of invitation to He Zhang.
On the side, Li Moli always felt that these villagers were a little strange. Although they were talking and laughing, they always felt that something was wrong.
Don't think about these things for the time being. Let's go into the village and have a look first.
Along the way, the head of the Gu clan kept chatting with He Zhang.
Mo Li followed He Zhang, observing the terrain of the village as he walked. He felt that many of these roads had to go around, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
After going around the village, I didn't see the big altar that the Marquis mentioned. Could it be that what the Marquis mentioned was not a temple village
At this time, He Zhang winked with Mo Li behind him, indicating whether he could end it.
Seeing Mo Li nodding, He Zhang understood, turned around and said to the old man, "Under the leadership of Chief Gu, Temple Village is indeed different from other villages. Next, I will go to other villages to have a look, so I won't bother Chief Gu. "
"My lord, what do you mean? It's a blessing for us frontier people that your lord can come and sympathize with the villagers. How could the lord talk about it so much? Let's talk about it!" Chief Gu and He Zhang exchanged pleasantries again.
The villagers from behind responded one after another...
At this time, Mo Li observed these villagers again, and finally knew what was strange. Although some of these villagers were whispering to each other and still chatting and laughing. Although they were not as dull as his Marquis said, but if he looked carefully, his eyes were blank. god.
Back at the inn, Shuo Ling had woken up and Mo Li opened the door.
"How?" Shuo Ling asked after hearing the voice.
Li Qiye responded, "Master Hou, the road in this village is indeed unusual, but after entering the village, I didn't see the big altar that the Marquis mentioned."
"Oh?" Shuo Ling looked confused at this time. Such a big altar shouldn't be invisible. Could it be that people from the village were leading them into the enchantment array
Seeing this, Li Li continued, "But this village is really weird. Before we even arrived at the village, the village chief led the villagers to wait at the entrance of the village. Even Master He was very surprised!"
"Did you notice anything strange about the villagers?" Shuo Ling asked again.
Li Li shook his head and said after a moment, "I'm not sure, these villagers are talking and laughing normally, but if you look closely, you will find that the eyes of these villagers are a little less lively."
Shuo Ling frowned when he heard this, as if he could pinch a fly.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a sharp cramp in his abdomen and beads of sweat on his forehead. These attacks had become more severe each time.
Noticing the strangeness on Shuo Ling's face, Mo Li hurriedly walked forward and asked, "Master Hou, what's going on?"
"It's okay, just take a rest." Shuo Ling endured the abdominal pain, gritted his teeth, and said a few words from his mouth.
Mo Li helped Shuo Ling to the bed. It took a long time for the symptoms to lessen, and he had another sleepless night. Strangely, the symptoms disappeared as soon as daybreak.
He couldn't help but think that he might have been poisoned by someone unintentionally, and that the appearance of the villagers he saw that night, and what Li said was the appearance of the villagers, seemed to be controlled by someone.
I have long heard that there are people outside the Great Wall who have been practicing witchcraft and Gu since they were young, and even have a sect, ruled by the Gu King.
Thinking of this, he felt it was necessary to pay a visit to this Gu King.
Then he ordered Li Li to stay and continue to keep an eye on the temple village, but not to act rashly!
After everything was explained, he asked Mo Li to buy a fast horse, and then he went to Wu Gu City alone to find Gu King Hou Shi.
The Witch and Gu City is built on Jingshan Mountain, and it is full of loyal worshipers of witchcraft and Gu. Disciples who learn the witchcraft must abide by the rules and are not allowed to do anything harmful to nature. Once discovered, they will be killed.
After asking around all the way, we arrived at Jingshan Mountain in just half a day's journey. Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the horses had been running all day, Shuo Ling decided to stop and rest and let the horses rest.
In the middle of the night, Shuo Ling heard something strange happening around him. He opened his eyes and became alert.
At this moment, the villagers from Zaishen Village that night rushed towards him as if they had seen prey. Upon seeing this, Shuoling stood on tiptoes, flew upwards, left the surroundings of these villagers, and ran to the side. .
But these villagers seemed to be staring at him and couldn't get rid of him. Shuo Ling had no choice but to take action. But the villagers he hit didn't seem to be afraid of pain. They paused and continued to chase.
At this time, Shuo Ling's stomach began to hurt again, his forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
But the villagers behind him kept chasing after him. Shuo Ling couldn't help it, so he clenched his teeth and ran forward.
After running a few steps, Shuo Ling hurriedly stopped. There was a cliff further ahead. At this time, Shuo Ling felt dizzy due to stomach pain. Looking at the villagers approaching step by step, Shuo Ling lost his footing and felt like he was falling to the bottom of the cliff.
It was three days later when Shuo Ling woke up. After waking up, Shuo Ling rubbed his head. Before he fell into coma, he remembered that he was besieged by villagers. He had unbearable abdominal pain and accidentally fell into a mountain stream.
Now... He moved a little and felt much lighter. Could it be that someone saved him
Thinking like this, Shuo Ling got out of bed and wanted to see what happened.
I found some very strange things in the house.
Just as he was about to open it and take a look, he heard a voice from outside the door, "Don't touch it!"
Then he pushed the door open and entered.
Shuo Ling stopped what he was doing and turned to look in the direction of the door. He saw the person wearing a black tight-fitting gown with his long silver hair tied high, revealing a bit of evil aura.
"You didn't scare me, sir. This is my new voodoo insect. If you touch its skin, it will burrow into your body." The visitor explained again.
"Gu insect?" Shuo Ling looked confused. Who is this person in front of him? Or maybe he was sent here by the villagers.
The man snorted coldly, "You're lucky, I happened to be passing by and found a person floating in the water. I was in a good mood at the time, so I started to save people."
"Is it the old man who saved me? I wonder if the old man can tell me where you live? I will send someone here to repay you in the future!" Shuo Ling found that although this man exuded some evil aura, after this observation, this man He won't be the one who cast a spell on him.
At this time, I saw him saying eagerly, "It doesn't matter whether I repay you or not. I don't want to talk nonsense to you. Do you know who planted the poison on you?"
