What if there are people missing in other states? Thinking of this, Tong Wenyao had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she felt like it was about to come out, but there was a thin layer of partition in her mind, separating her from it. After knowing this, she put it in her heart, thinking about investigating where the missing people went when the time came.
Before leaving, she asked Cheng Kuan to renew Helian Xi's lease for five days, and take them to Yue State after his injury healed. After Cheng Kuan had finished his business, he left Bailu County with them and drove towards Luzhou. Less than a quarter of an hour after they drove out, a group of people were guarding the official road, and that road led to the mountain.
Seeing this, Tong Wen Yao said, "Uncle Cheng, stop the carriage and ask the people over there what's going on." There were several people in the crowd wearing mourning clothes, but among the others there were even officials. Could it be that they were handling a funeral and then encountered officials investigating a case?
Cheng Kuan nodded, jumped off the carriage, and walked towards the crowd. Dongzi had good eyesight and said in the direction of the mountain: "Boss, I see that there seems to be a place on the mountain with black smoke coming out."
Hearing this, she leaned over to the window and looked up the mountain. She saw a patch of trees halfway up the mountain that was tinged with black, standing out from the surrounding green trees. Looking at that patch of black, she thought of the black deer the driver had mentioned. Could it be that this deer had escaped?
Xiaoxue in the carriage was also extremely irritable at this time. She looked through the window at the circle of black trees halfway up the mountain, and a low growl came from her throat. She originally wanted to let Guaiguai suppress Xiaoxue, but when she saw Guaiguai under the table, she changed her usual behavior, looked towards the halfway up the mountain, and made a hissing sound.
This was the first time that Guaiguai and Xiaoxue had seen something so formidable that they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. What on earth was that thing halfway up the mountain?
A faint sound came from afar, a pleasant and peaceful sound, as if a clear spring was rushing towards the carriage.
However, after Xiaoxue climbed up her shoulders and looked towards the halfway point of the mountain, she no longer made the growling sound and snuggled up to her side. If she hadn't seen the two of them with her own eyes just now, it would have seemed like an illusion.
At this time, the strange feeling of discomfort in Guaiguai's heart disappeared, as if there was a spring of water nourishing his heart, so that his body no longer felt uncomfortable and painful.
Cheng Kuan quickly found out the truth and came back to tell her, "The black deer has appeared. The officials and the people are surrounding it. We will capture the black deer and burn it."
"We need to wait another day for the black deer to come out of the cyst. If we don't seize the opportunity to capture and burn it, I'm afraid it will spread the poison to the surrounding villages."
When the black deer appears, it will devour nearby living things, so those people wore mourning clothes because their family members were eaten by the black deer, so they came here to wear mourning clothes and let the Taoist priest guide the dead souls, that is, the three souls and five spirits, back home.
Black smoke drifted out of the woods. Tong Wenyao said vigilantly, "Drive the carriage and leave here!"
Just as he finished speaking, some people who had just gathered on the mountain road began to lose consciousness and walked towards the middle of the mountain. When Dongzi saw this, he said directly: "Boss, why are those people still going up the mountain!" At this time, the people near the middle of the mountain had already started to walk into the bag and gradually lost themselves in the thick fog.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest ordered them to run! This black deer had become a formidable force, and he couldn't handle it. Now the only way to deal with it was to go to Bailu County and ask Master Fang to come out! When the Taoist priest arrived, he heard them say that they were guiding the souls of those bitten by the black deer to return, so he also prepared a few antidote pills in his pocket. However, these antidote pills could only resist for three quarters of an hour. If he couldn't find the antidote given by Master Fang in the city, then he would surely die.
Tong Wen Yao wanted to go forward to help, but seeing people falling one after another in front of her, she was not familiar with the poison, so she took out the antidote pills she had prepared earlier from the space and planned to throw them to them. Fortunately, the poison was only in this forest, and a few people on the official road were able to escape.
The poisoned people were directed to walk halfway up the mountain. Dao Gong, who was standing by, saw her trying to go in and pull the people out, and hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Sir, I know you want to save them, but you don't know the nature of this poison, so don't go in blindly."
Tong Wenyao said, "I made some detoxification pills myself and threw them to them. Let them take them and try!"
Because there were still some clear-headed people in the crowd, after hearing their voices, they hurriedly begged: "Master, please save us!"
When Tong Wen Yao threw the bottle in, a layer of black fog suddenly came over. If Cheng Kuan next to her had not been quick to pull her back, she would have been dragged in as well.
The black fog had an inexplicable attraction to her, repeatedly trying to shroud the road. Guaiguai, perched on her shoulder, hissed at the fog, and Xiaoxue, roaring at it from behind, finally forced it back into the woods.
What the hell is this? How could it be like this! The people in the black fog rushed to grab the bottles, wanting to take the detoxification pills as soon as possible so that they could get out. Every time they took a step, they felt a pain in their bones!
The black fog seemed to see their desire to escape, and more black fog came from the mountainside to engulf those people! In an attempt to force them to the mountainside.
As for the object hidden on the top of the mountain, it hid in the rocks, staring at the people on the official road. Tong Wen Yao could feel as if she was being stared at by something, and her heart was scared. This feeling was the same as when she encountered mutated zombies in her previous life.
She looked toward the mountain, and the strange feeling grew stronger. Even Dongzi spoke up, "Boss, I feel like I'm being watched. It's unsettling!" Dongzi had previously worked as a bandit in the inn and in Tiger Village, so his facial features were naturally more sensitive than others. Not only Dongzi, but also the escort agents, Cheng Kuan and Cheng Hong, were like this! He directly said to go back to the county, saying it was unsafe here.
Tong Wen Yao thought about those missing people, wondering if they were also taken away by the black fog?
But there are both men and women here, and the information Cheng Kuan brought back didn't mention women! Did they not ask or were only men missing? Thinking of this, Tong Wenyao asked,
"Uncle Cheng, when you went to the village to check for missing persons, were there any women missing?" Uncle Cheng didn't expect her to ask this at this time, and said: There are missing people, but there are not as many men! As soon as the voice fell, the black fog inside rushed towards them. The action was swift. Tong Wenyao and the others were directly knocked to the ground with Dao Gong! The moment Guaiguai and Xiaoxue were enveloped by her in the black fog, she instantly sent them into space.
