"You mean, in recent months, people have been mysteriously disappearing in some rural areas of Linzhou?"
In the yard of the inn, Lu Qing was a little surprised after listening to the stories told by Mu Tian and others.
"Yes, brother, this matter was not noticed by anyone.
However, a few days ago, when we first entered Rinzhou, we accidentally rescued a farmer who had fallen off a cliff and fainted.
He said that people have been missing from their village recently and everyone is in a panic.
His wife and children disappeared. In order to find them, he ran around everywhere and finally accidentally fell off a cliff.
Fortunately, he was stopped by an old tree and did not fall to death.
After we sent the farmer to the clinic, we went to his village to investigate.
It turned out that in the countryside of Linzhou, people had disappeared in many villages in the past six months.
That's why we're hanging around here, trying to find out what happened.
Today we plan to go to a place called Qiujia Village near this city."
"If such a thing really happened, have you found out anything?" Lu Qing asked.
"We don't have too many clues yet." Mu Tian shook his head, "We can only preliminarily determine that this is a man-made incident, not a natural disaster.
Moreover, the people who did this used strange and secretive methods and were not righteous people.
The most likely possibility is that some evil cultivator is practicing some evil skill."
"Evil cultivator..."
Lu Qing nodded, agreeing with Mu Tian's inference.
With the continuous revival of spiritual energy, many relics of the previous era of immortal cultivation have gradually emerged.
Many of them were left behind by ancient monks who practiced evil ways.
Therefore, some evil monks have appeared in the world in recent years.
These evil monks have done many heinous things in order to practice their evil skills.
However, since ancient times, good and evil cannot coexist. After these monks stirred up trouble for a while, they were met with a joint attack from all major sects.
After two years of glory, it almost disappeared again.
Unexpectedly, in this remote Linzhou, there are traces of evil monks again.
"Is there anything special about the Qiujia Village you are going to?" Lu Qing continued to ask.
"We heard that two villagers disappeared in Qiujia Village the day before yesterday. This might be the village where the evil cultivator appeared the latest, so we plan to go and take a look." Mu Tian replied.
"Brother, do you want to go with us?" Xiaoyan asked.
Hearing this, Mu Tian and others immediately looked at Lu Qing.
They were all very curious about Xiaoyan's brother who suddenly appeared and seemed particularly mysterious.
If he went along, maybe he could find out something that couldn't be explained.
Lu Qing pondered for a moment.
Originally, he came here this time with the intention of taking Xiaoyan and the others away.
He had just traded three portions of true blood with the Old Dragon Turtle. Those three portions of true blood contained the bloodline of the ancient exotic beast Suanni, which should be of great benefit to Xiao Li and Wuxing.
Now that he suddenly heard such a thing, he felt it was not a good idea to leave directly.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qing said, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."
Xiaoyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
But Lu Qing continued, "But Xiaoyan, this is your training. I won't take action easily unless it is necessary. If there is anything, you have to solve it yourself, so that your brother can see if you have been slacking off in your training these days."
"good!"
Xiaoyan agreed immediately.
At the same time, my heart is full of energy.
She wanted to let her brother know that during the days when he was in seclusion in the Holy Mountain, she had also been practicing hard!
After hearing this, Mu Tian and the others also smiled.
According to what they learned from the sect's classics, the methods used by evil cultivators are always strange and bizarre. With a mysterious and powerful person like Xiaoyan's brother going with them, they feel more confident.
So next, everyone checked out of the inn and headed to Qiujia Village.
Qiujia Village is not very close to the city, but the weakest among the crowd is also a cultivator who has achieved a small success in the Innate Realm.
Before the revival of spiritual energy, its combat power was comparable to that of a top sect.
Even though spiritual energy has been revived for such a long time, the Xiantian realm is still considered a strong one in the cultivation world.
Their pace is naturally not slow.
After using their skills, they moved even faster, and half an hour later, they arrived in front of a village.
"Brother Chen, the Qiu Family Village is just ahead."
Mu Tian took out a map, looked at it for a while, and said affirmatively.
"Then go in."
Lu Qing looked forward, and a barely perceptible strange color flashed in his eyes.
Could it be that they really ran into me?
Everyone walked towards the village, and as soon as they entered the village, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Before, the village was completely silent, with a wisp of black air floating around.
Most importantly, there were many corpses lying on the village roads.
They all looked like mummies, with twisted and hideous faces, and it was obvious that they had suffered great pain and torture before death.
“This, this…”
When Mu Tian and his companions saw such a horrifying scene, they were so frightened that they stepped back repeatedly.
I couldn't even speak clearly for a moment.
Seeing this, Lu Qing couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
After the revival of spiritual energy, practicing has become much easier.
Even the Innate Realm is not as difficult to break through as it once was.
But at the same time, the ease of practice also means that many practitioners lack sufficient tempering.
Just like Mu Tian and his men, although they are quite powerful, before the revival of spiritual energy, they are comparable to the top combat forces of some major sects.
But when it comes to character, they are very different.
They were just some mummies whose deaths looked ugly, yet they were so scared.
This level of concentration is far inferior to that of those acquired martial arts masters he had met before.
After sighing slightly in his heart, Lu Qing turned his gaze to the mummy in front of him.
Just now outside the village, he had sensed that the village was dead silent, as if there was no one left.
But he didn't expect that everyone in Qiujia Village was killed.
Moreover, his energy was drained away and he died after suffering great pain.
Looking at one of the mummies, which was wearing women's clothes and holding a thin corpse in his arms.
Lu Qing's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Brother, this is..."
Among the few people, Xiaoyan remained calm.
After all, when she was very young, Lu Qing and others went to Zhongzhou together.
I saw countless corpses while experiencing battles and killings along the way.
Moreover, over the years in Jiuli Village, I often helped the old doctor treat the wounds of some patients.
Although the scene before her was horrifying, it was not enough to scare her.
"I said, I won't do anything. You have to learn to deal with these things on your own." Lu Qing said lightly.
When Xiaoyan heard this, she stopped asking questions.
He began to observe the corpse on the ground carefully.
She had just felt that these mummies seemed a little abnormal.
Seeing the brother and sister so calm, Mu Tian and the others gradually calmed down.
And felt a blush.
They were just some mummies, but they lost their composure like that. They were even worse than the youngest, Xiaoyan. It was really wrong.
Just when they wanted to ask Xiaoyan what she had discovered.
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
