No taboos

Chapter 195: Tree and Well (asking for monthly ticket)
Wan Yun's team watched Xu Yuan and his men rush past them.

"Sir..." The brothers shouted to Wan Yun in grievance.

Wan Yun was filled with rage and roared, "Shut up!"

Then he whipped the horse's butt hard, and the horse under his crotch neighed and ran away wildly.

Wan Yun whipped a few more times, then suddenly remembered Qin Ze's ridicule of him for "whipping frequently"...

For a moment, the raised arm was stuck there, and the next few whips were neither falling nor not falling.

His brothers complained.

We have no share in the guns and cannons from the Beidu Craftsmen's Workshop, and we have no share in the calligraphy works from the Shanhe Division?
You are a serious inspector.

Xu Yuan is the deputy.

Others can get so many benefits for their brothers, but you just take your anger out on them.

They didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction, but everyone was shaken in their decision to follow Wan Yun.

Yujing Village is seventy miles away from the canal and about seventy miles away from Champa.

After hanging up the calligraphy, we arrived in less than an hour by galloping.

Even if Wan Yun's team didn't have the copybook, they wouldn't be too late, but they were very unhappy.

Xu Yuan's team and Shanhesi arrived at Yujing Village first.

There are dozens of households in the village, and Xiaoyu Mountain is twenty miles to the north.

There is an old elm tree at the entrance of the village.

It is about sixty or seventy feet high and can be hugged by two people.

I don’t know when it was struck by lightning and fire, half of it was burned to death, but the other half is still alive.

It is also a wonder in the village.

A few dozen steps away from the old elm tree, there is an old well. The well mouth is two feet high and made of rough granite, with a windlass on top.

The hemp rope on the windlass broke several times and had to be connected by tying knots.

This tree and well are the origins of the village's name.

It was just past noon and the Yang energy was strong.

In the fields outside the village, villagers were working in groups of three or four.

On the small road in the village, a few local dogs were lying lazily, their tails wagging in the sunlight.

An earthworm crawled out from under the cow dung nearby and blatantly crossed the village road.

The lazy dog lay flat on the ground, twisting its body to rub its itchy back, paying no attention to the twisted little thing.

The village looked quiet and peaceful, not like there was anything evil going on.

Xu Yuan opened "Wangming" and took a quick look.

The life of every villager is normal.

Xu Yuan put away the "Wang Ming" and quietly grasped the Yin-Yang Guillotine.

The village is clean and there are no evil things.

Xu Yuan came to the car and asked in confusion, "Sir, your Mountain and River Division said in the official document that this village is the lair of an evil spirit. Where is the evil spirit, and why are there so many living people?"

Fu Shuanghui's voice rang out: "The evil spirit is hiding in the well. It's a dead root from the old elm tree!"

"Dead tree roots? Why are they in the well?"

"This evil spirit must have been quite powerful back then, so it was struck by a thunderbolt. But even after the thunderbolt killed it, it remained inactive!
After an unknown amount of time, it came back to life and spread into the well.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only living people in this village. In fact, the villagers have been drawing water from the well for generations, and the well water has long been polluted by it.

Although the villagers were still alive, they had already been controlled by the evil spirit.

Whatever the village sees with every eye will be seen by the evil spirit.

Whatever one ear hears will be heard by evil spirits.

Every word he said was what the evil spirit wanted to say! "Xu Yuan seemed frightened, his face changed drastically, and he said, "That thing is so terrifying! What is your plan to deal with it?"

"Hmph!" Fu Shuanghui sneered, "Don't worry, I won't let you, the people from the Exorcism Division, die in vain. Liang Yan, take them outside the village and find a place to set up camp. Everyone else, get to work and dig that well for me!"

"Follow the order!"

Shanhesi was obviously well prepared. He took out various tools and ran towards the ancient well.

Liang Yan pointed to an open space not far away and said to Xu Yuan: "Master Xu, let's go there."

Xu Yuan was full of questions. After hesitating for a moment, he followed Liang Yan to the open space.

This place is two hundred feet away from the old elm tree at the entrance of the village. The ground is covered with weeds, but for some reason it has not been cultivated into farmland by the villagers.

Liang Yan said, "We've brought the door gods with us. Divide your men into teams and have them cut down trees and dig up earth. It doesn't have to be a very fine building, just something sturdy and habitable."

This evil spirit is very serious and it obviously cannot be solved in half a day, so we need to spend the night in the village.

It is obvious that people dare not live in the houses in the village.

It can only be built temporarily.

Xu Yuan then gave orders to select the craftsmen in the team, and each of them led a team to start work immediately.

Xu Yuan kept looking at the ancient well.

The people from the Shanhe Division dismantled the windlass and opened the edge of the well. Several old men immediately rushed out from the village, kneeling on the ground and begging them, crying and shouting. This was the only well in the village.

After digging a well, the villagers had no water to drink.

The captains of the Mountain and River Division were as ferocious as wolves and tigers. They kicked the old men away and dug up the well.

Soon the villagers gathered together, but when they saw the captains of the Mountain and River Division holding their swords, they did not dare to step forward. The village was suddenly filled with cries.

Xu Yuan frowned - but if it was really as Fu Shuanghui said, the whole village had long been controlled by evil spirits, and it was not worthy of sympathy.

"Sir," Lang Xiaoba suddenly called out from behind him, "We've dug up some strange things. Come and take a look."

Xu Yuan turned around and followed Lang Xiaoba.

The weeds and small trees on the open space have been roughly cleared away. The carpenter drew a large circle on the ground and built the "outer wall" of the camp with wood along this circle.

Twelve deep pits were first dug on the circle to bury the piles.

Xu Yuan walked to a pile pit, which was about five feet deep, and there were piles of bones underneath!

Lang Xiaoba whispered, "It's like this under every pile pit."

Xu Yuan quickly checked all the pile pits and found that as long as he dug five feet deep, there was a pile of bones underneath!
"The place pointed out to us by the people from the Mountain and River Bureau is a mass grave?!" The first person Lang Xiaoba suspected was Liang Yan.

Liang Yan is no longer here. After the construction started, he went back to Fu Shuanghui.

Xu Yuan jumped into the pit, took a tool and fiddled with the bones, then picked up a skull.

But it was obviously not a human head.

The skull is flat and long, with several slender, curved fangs on the upper jaw.

"snake!"

But this snake skull is bigger than a human skull!
Xu Yuan looked at the countless ribs among the bones under his feet and said, "If it's a snake, it must be a giant python!"

Xu Yuan came up from the pile pit and waved his hand, saying, "Change places immediately."

Everyone immediately moved two hundred steps away - the Mountain and River Division had obviously noticed the unusual movements of the Impurity Removal Division. Liang Yan glanced over here, but had no intention of stopping them.

Xu Yuan frowned and said, "Let's dig a hole first."

"Okay." Qin Ze rolled up his sleeves and did it himself.

Wu Xiu was very strong and dug five feet deep in just a moment. He poked something with a shovel.

Qin Ze's face changed, and when he turned it over, he saw another pile of bones!
Lang Xiaoba suddenly said, "Sir, is there something wrong with my eyes? Why do I feel like it's getting darker and darker?"

Di Youzhi twitched his nose: "Not only is it getting darker, but it's also getting more and more smelly."
