death

Chapter 403 Disappearing
Hu Jiashu and I stood at the door for a while, and Hu Jiashu held his nose and said, "Is the one inside King Kong Xiamiao?"

After a while, a dying old man's voice came from inside: "I am, who are you, come quickly, give me water, water..."

Hearing the sound, Hu Jiashu and I rushed in immediately, because hearing the sound, the old Miao Wang was about to die.

After entering, we found a water urn next to the house, and the water in it was quite clear, so we took some water from a nearby bamboo tube and brought it to the mouth of the old Miao Wang. He directly raised his head and drank it several times. mouth.

After drinking he lay down again.

There was a set of quilts on the bamboo bed where Miao Wang was, but green moss had grown out of the damp, and the old Miao Wang got into that quilt.

After he regained his expression a little bit, and after confirming that he would not die for a while, I asked curiously: "Why are you in such a miserable situation? Don't you even have someone to take care of you? Where's your family?"

The old Miao King said: "They all went to work in the fields, and I was left alone at home. In our village, hard work can't get enough to eat, and if you don't work, you won't have enough to eat, so they left There's nothing I can do about it."

The old Miao Wang speaks Chinese very well, and there is no big obstacle for us to communicate.

I asked the old Miao Wang directly: "Is there someone named Yan Xiuxiu here?"

Hearing the name Yan Xiuxiu, the old Miao Wang became a little flustered, and I continued to ask, "Where is Yan Xiuxiu?"

The old Miao Wang didn't speak, but fell into contradictory thinking.

But I was thinking about a question at this time. None of the people in this village are powerful. The old Miao kings all look like this. What kind of person can use Yan Xiuxiu to blackmail Kong Lingfan? With Kong Lingfan's strength, he should Can you walk sideways in this stockade?
It seems that this village is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After waiting for a while, the old Miao Wang still didn't speak, so I asked again: "Since you don't know what to say about Yan Xiuxiu, let me ask you, do you know about Wen Qingliang? Big secret?"

Old Miao Wang said: "I don't know about this, I only know that he is a big man who stays here, and the old elders in our village are very afraid of that big man!"

Old elder! ?

I asked who those were.

The old Miao King said: "It's the few old Gu masters left in our village, and now our whole village is actually controlled by them, and I, Miao King, are no different from ordinary villagers. The slaves of several elders, in this village, only those few elders can eat enough."

I asked those elders what kind of strength they were.

The old Miao king said: "I don't know, anyway, they are very powerful. They never showed up before the village was cursed, but they appeared shortly after the village was cursed. Since then, they have started to control our entire Xiapu Miao village. Grandpa, father, and I are all under their control."

"To say that we are King Miao is better to say that we are just their puppets."

Hearing what the old Miao Wang said, I asked Hu Jiashu if the East China Branch knew about this.

Hu Jiashu shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this. I got news that all the powerful people in Xiapu Miao Village are dead. I haven't heard of any powerful people."

"Since the accident in Xiapu Miao Village, our East China branch has given up this place without any support, and we have never sent anyone to investigate here, so we really don't know what's going on here."

I nodded.

Hu Jiashu continued to say: "Those old elders may be similar to some hidden sects of Taoism, who usually hide and retreat from the secular world."

I nodded to agree with Hu Jiashu.

The old Miao Wang continued: "About Yan Xiuxiu, I shouldn't have said anything about this matter, but I'm already a dying person, so it doesn't matter if I tell you, Yan Xiuxiu is Kong Lingfan's childhood sweetheart."

"Kong Lingfan's ancestor was a celebrity in our Xiapu Miao Village, because the family would raise a kind of Gu, which is very powerful, but unfortunately, the lives of those who raise that kind of Gu are short-lived, so anyone who raises that kind of Gu must First have offspring, then raise them, after the person who raises Gu dies, they will seal up the body, wait for the offspring to grow up, and then raise Gu after there are descendants."

"Some of those chosen among the heirs will choose to escape, while those who cannot escape can only accept the reality."

"Since our village was cursed, the number of descendants of Kong Lingfan's family has decreased sharply. Originally, there were more than ten of them in each generation, but in Kong Lingfan's generation, there is only one left."

"When Kong Lingfan was very young, his father died early because of raising Gu, and his mother wanted to take Kong Lingfan to escape from the village because she didn't want Kong Lingfan to follow the old road. She did escape, but she didn't escape. After the village cursed her, she died within a few years, and later the elders in the village found someone to bring Kong Lingfan back, and took care of her carefully."

"They loved Kong Lingfan very much. In order to make Kong Lingfan listen to them, they chose a little girl from outside the village to be Kong Lingfan's playmate. It was strange to say that Kong Lingfan was crying all the time, but he stopped crying when he saw that little girl. gone."

"And that little girl is Yan Xiuxiu."

"Because of Yan Xiuxiu, Kong Lingfan gradually listened to the words of the elders. Originally, according to their family's custom, he could only raise the life-shortening Gu worm after Kong Lingfan had an heir, but those elders seemed to be waiting. It's too late, and I directly planted that Gu on Kong Lingfan three years ago."

Hearing this, I asked curiously: "Could those elders be Kong Lingfan's ancestors?"

The old Miao King said: "It's possible, otherwise how would they know the Kong Lingfan family's method of raising Gu, you must know that the method is a secret passed down by their family."

Just when the old Miao Wang was about to continue speaking, there was an inexplicable gust of wind outside, the wind was very strong, and the bamboo door that was blowing directly made a "bang bang", and the old Miao Wang didn't dare to continue talking.

And I actually felt a corpse in the dark wind.

The corpse aura is very strong, as if there are very powerful corpses in this village, but the corpse aura is fleeting, is it an illusion, if it is a powerful corpse, it cannot only have a little corpse aura.

I turned around and asked Hu Jiashu if he felt the breath of the corpse.

Hu Jiashu shook his head and asked me: "Corpse gas, what kind of corpse gas, I didn't notice it at all."

Is it really my illusion.

When the strange wind disappeared, I said to the old Miao Wang: "You continue to talk..."

But before my words fell, I was completely dumbfounded, because the old Miao Wang died in the gust of wind just now.

He had already died, and his soul returned to his place very quickly.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, did the old Miao King die, or did he die unexpectedly?

Hu Jiashu also said "Hey" and said: "Dead? How could it be? When we saw him just now, he didn't look dead at all. Was it caused by the strange wind just now? If so, why did we see him?" Didn't even notice it at all?"

I also nodded and said, "Yeah, although that strange wind is strange, but it has no spiritual power, it doesn't seem like..."

When I was talking about this, I suddenly stopped, and Hu Jiashu asked me what was wrong.

I recounted the matter of feeling the corpse aura just now, and then said: "If I was not delusional just now, then it must be the corpse aura that killed the old Miao king just now. The old Miao king is already on the verge of death. The attack is enough to kill him, and it will not leave any wounds, yes, it must be the corpse aura just now, there is absolutely no mistake!"

Hu Jiashu thought for a while and then said: "It is indeed possible that the power of my state of mind is not as strong as yours. It is normal for you to feel things that I can't. But can you be sure where those corpse auras come from?"

I said: "I can't be sure, but I can make a good guess. The old Miao King was talking about Kong Lingfan and those elders, and then he was killed. His death must have something to do with those mysterious elders. Go around the village and try to find those elders."

Hu Jiashu nodded and said, "Okay!"

As for the old Miao King, we didn't bother him, his body was naturally buried after his relatives discovered it.

Leaving the old Miao Wang's room, we found that the whole village was empty before we went down to the bamboo building. There were only a few people walking up and down the street, but now half of them are gone.

I tried to use the power of my mind to investigate those dilapidated bamboo buildings, and found that there were no people in those bamboo buildings, not even a mouse.

"Crack!"

I suddenly heard the sound of a window opening behind me, and when I looked back, I found that the old Miao Wang's body had disappeared from the bed, and the window was open.

I rushed to the window to have a look, and at the same time I let go of my mental state, only to find that the old Miao Wang's body had run away by itself.

No, even if his corpse turns into a corpse, it can't be transformed so quickly, besides, I didn't detect the corpse aura from the old Miao Wang's body with the power of my state of mind?

What's happening here?
Hu Jiashu and I hurriedly jumped out of the window to catch up, but the speed of the old Miao Wang was really fast, and he ran to the back mountain with a "swish swish".

There is a turbid breath in the back mountain, which can hinder my exploration of the power of the state of mind, so the body of the old Miao king fled to the back mountain, and we lost it.

When we stopped outside the turbid atmosphere, Hu Jiashu said in surprise: "The source of this turbid atmosphere seems to be the same as the source of the dilapidated barrier energy we encountered when we entered the stockade."

"It's very weird here, let's not go in rashly."

At this time, I suddenly found a problem, that is, when we entered the stockade, we flew over and did not see any farmland or orchards near the stockade, so how do people here make a living?
Also, the old Miao Wang said that his family members went to work, but where did they go to work?

Is it in this strange turbidity?
I felt that the mystery of Xiapu Miao Village was in the turbid air. At this moment, the mantra worm I put into the bamboo tube and carried on my body suddenly became agitated in the bamboo tube. It hit the bamboo tube desperately and made a "pop" sound. The voice, it was angry, angry at the things in the stale air.
