I'm obviously practicing martial arts, how come I have magical powers?

Chapter 158 Woods
Qin Yang waited at the door for a while with Ling Yue Dao on his back.

An ordinary-looking man wearing a blue robe came out.

"But Brother Qin Yang?"

"I am Zhao Xinmo, spiritual master of the Xuanling Department."

"This time I specially cooperate with you to go to Tupo Village."

The man greeted warmly.

He doesn't look like a spiritual master with an eccentric temperament.

"It turns out to be Brother Zhao."

Qin Yang nodded lightly.

"Then we'll set off first."

"The people from the Yamen have been waiting for us there for a long time."

Zhao Xinmo smiled.

Qin Yang nodded lightly.

This Zhao Xinmo seems to be very enthusiastic.

But he always felt something was wrong.
He carefully observed Zhao Xinmo's facial features and some micro-expressions.

I found that the other person's demeanor and posture never seemed to change.

Smiling but not smiling
However, he was relieved when he thought that the other party was a spiritual master.

If a spiritual master is not weird, then what kind of spiritual master would he be?

The two of them left the Tianxian Division and headed out of the city.

After driving for more than ten miles, we came to a hillside.

The official roads and earth roads here have been blocked by the people from the yamen, preventing anyone from getting close.

Qin Yang took out his patrol commander card, and a policeman wearing a black hat walked over.

"Captain Qiao Qi met two adults in Xiazhou Yamen," the police officer said, clasping his fists.

Qin Yang nodded slightly and asked: "Captain Qiao, how is the situation in Tupo Village now?"

"We came here just one day ago and blocked all the roads in and out of Tupo Village."

"I haven't seen anyone from Tupo Village come out so far."

"Of course, we don't know the current situation in Tupo Village. We dare not go in."

Qiao Qi said solemnly.

"Well, how many people are there in Tupo Village?"

Zhao Xinmo asked.

The more people there are in this village, the more trouble there will be.

"According to household registration records, there are currently more than 130 households in Tupo Village, with a population of about 400."

Qiao Qi took out a household registration book.

Zhao Xinmo took it out, read it carefully, and then handed it to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang seemed to just look at it casually for a few times before returning it to Qiao Qi.

"Four hundred people are going to be difficult." Zhao Xinmo scratched his head.

In his mind, these four hundred people were equivalent to dead people.

"Go first and take a look at Tupo Village." Qin Yang said softly.

The two said goodbye to Qiao Qi and walked towards Tupo Village. During the break, they started chatting again.

"Fortunately it was discovered early this time."

"If people from Tupo Village are allowed to come out, greater pollution will most likely occur, and it will not spread into Yongning Prefecture City."

Zhao Xinmo whispered.

"Isn't there a limit to the contamination range of low-grade ghost weapons?"

Qin Yang was slightly startled.

"But ghost weapons can also move."

"According to my research on ghost weapons over the years, once a place is completely contaminated by a ghost weapon, it will begin to spread."

"However, the speed of spread is affected by the power of the ghost weapon itself."

Zhao Xinmo explained.

"What is the real source of the ghost weapon?"

Qin Yang asked.

He felt that Zhao Xinmo seemed to be really knowledgeable about ghost weapons.

"There are two theories and it's possible that neither of them is correct."

"Just use it as a reference."

"The first theory is that ghost weapons are objects born of ghosts and gods."

"The ghosts and gods here are more of a kind of existence that we can't understand. They may not exist in this world or in the long history."

Zhao Xinmo smiled.

"What kind of existence is that?" Qin Yang's eyes were blank upon hearing this.

"How to put it? It's similar to the so-called long river of cause and effect in Taoism and Buddhism."

"These may or may not exist."

"Even if you know it exists, it's hard to find."

Zhao Xinmo explained with a smile.

Qin Yang finally understood something: "What about the second explanation?"

"The second explanation is that ghost weapons are born from the dirty air of heaven and earth."

"This is easy to understand. It's just like the stones on the roadside. It's something that originally existed in heaven and earth."

Zhao Xinmo kicked the pebbles on the road. "Which statement does Brother Zhao believe more?" Qin Yang asked curiously.

"Me. I don't believe anything."

Zhao Xinmo shook his head.

While talking, the two of them reached the highest point of the hillside.

Looking down, you can vaguely see the outline of a mountain village.

"Based on the investigation of the Patrol Department."

"The village has had no contact with the outside world for five days."

"People from the Patrol Department went to investigate before, but they didn't leave Tupo Village."

Qin Yang said calmly.

As long as he has read the case file.

But Zhao Xinmo has not seen it.

Because the other party just came to assist him.

"It does sound like a ghost weapon is causing trouble."

"Let's get closer."

Zhao Xinmo took out a compass and said softly.

The two of them walked down the hillside and headed towards Tupo Village.

Come to the small woods in front of the village entrance.

The compass pointer in Zhao Xinmo's hand started spinning crazily.

"Be careful. We are now close to the range covered by the ghost weapon."

Zhao Xinmo whispered.

"Yeah." Qin Yang nodded and asked, "It should be a low-grade ghost weapon."

If it were an inferior ghost weapon, he could still handle it with his strength.

"Judging from the radiated fluctuations, it should still be in the category of low-grade ghost weapons."

"But it may be stronger than ordinary low-grade ghost weapons."

Zhao Xinmo looked at the compass and analyzed it.

"Then there's no problem."

Qin Yang nodded and walked into the woods.

Zhao Xinmo followed behind him.

The two of them were walking through the woods.

In broad daylight, the woods looked very dim.

After walking for a while.

Qin Yang noticed some dried blood stains on the ground.

There are still two drag marks on the ground.

The picture that Qin Yang could have in his mind was that of something dragging a corpse walking in the woods.
He pointed to Zhao Xinmo.

The other party understands.

Follow the blood trail forward.

Qin Yang finally came to a withered tree.

The middle of this big tree was hollowed out, and there was a huge tree hole.

Qiang~
Qin Yang pulled out the Lingyue Sword and slashed at the big tree with one slash.

puff!

The big tree was immediately cut into two pieces, and the trunk collapsed backwards.

Zhao Xinmo looked at the tree hole where the light had returned.

A corpse with twisted limbs lay inside.

And he's still a kid.
"Poor little guy."

Zhao Xinmo shook his head slightly.

next moment.

The child's body suddenly rose up and rushed towards Zhao Xinmo from the tree hole.

Bang!
Qin Yang grabbed the child's body with his big hand and smashed it to the ground.

The whole grove trembled.

The child's corpse made a strange scream and turned into black smoke and dissipated.

"Totally infected."

Zhao Xinmo whispered.

"coming."

Qin Yang said calmly.

Creak~
The sound of dead branches and leaves being trampled.

Several children suddenly appeared in front of Qin Yang.

The expressions of these children are extremely weird, their bodies are covered with scars, their flesh and blood are turned up, and they are bloody and weird.

"caught you!"

"caught you!"

These children kept laughing strangely.

Qin Yang sighed slightly, and when he was about to swing his sword, Zhao Xinmo on the side suddenly took action.
