Chapter 56 Encounters and Investigations

In the early morning, the sun is rising and the sky is slightly white.

Li Ye, covered in morning dew, returned to the blacksmith shop again, greeted Blacksmith Li who had just woken up, and then left the county town.

Although he is ready to leave, he still needs to see what happens next before taking action.

With the wind under his feet, Li Ye went straight to the Taoist Temple in the Barren Mountain and walked quickly, and soon he had completed half of the distance.

But at this moment, whispers coming from a small village on the roadside attracted his attention.

With a pause in his steps, like a gust of wind blowing by, Li Ye arrived in front of a thatched house in the village.

At this time, the door of the thatched house was wide open, and there were people standing outside, but no one dared to go in. Instead, they gathered around a village elder, who kept describing the horrific scene inside the house.

"It was so scary. I pushed the door open this morning and saw that all Shuanzi's family were dead! This made me unable to sleep at night. I didn't even dare to close my eyes."

"Yes, those eyes are so wide and wide, and the mouth is also wide open, as if they want to eat people!"

After listening to the words around him, Li Ye had a guess in his mind and walked directly into the house.

"Hey, young man, what do you do?"

"Stop, don't move!"

There were sounds of obstruction in his ears, but Li Ye turned a deaf ear and walked directly into the dark main room.

The main room is about two meters high and covers an area of ​​about ten square meters. There are only a set of homemade wooden tables and chairs, a simple stove and an empty rice vat.

Standing in the room, Li Ye felt a sense of cramping, as if he could knock a hole in the roof of the shed with just a tap of his toes.

The door to the back room was wide open, and Li Ye looked in and saw the stiff bodies of an old man, two middle-aged people and three people lying on a hard wooden bed.

Whether it's the lingering yin energy in the house or the frightened expressions of the three corpses, it all means one thing: evil spirits are also present here.

What is the reason for this? Li Ye couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Before this, evil spirits had only appeared in the city, but this had never happened before. Why did this change happen now?

People outside the house couldn't help but feel anxious when they saw a stranger walking in.

Seeing that no one came out, I couldn't help but wonder if the death of Shuanzi's family might have something to do with each other, so I selected two middle-aged men and walked in.

The two men were both farmers with their backs turned to the sky. They were short in stature, with yellow faces and skinny muscles. Standing next to Li Ye, they looked like two children who were growing old before they were old.

The two of them walked into the house. When they saw the corpse on the bed, their legs and feet were so frightened that they became weak. When they looked at Li Ye, who was tall and strong, they dared not say a word.

Although the person came in, he still stood next to Li Ye without saying a word and remained silent with his neck trembling.

However, Li Ye was still interrupted by the arrival of the two people. He woke up from his thoughts. Li Ye just glanced at the two people and made them collapse to the ground in fright.

At this time, Li Ye was in a heavy heart and had no intention of paying attention to these two people. He simply ignored the two dealer men and walked out of the room.

As soon as I left the room, two noisy peasant women asked aggressively: "What did you do to my man?"

It was obviously a woman from the two families in the house. Seeing that her man did not follow him out, she couldn't help but become nervous.

"Huh?" With just a frown, a terrifying aura spread from Li Ye's body to all directions.

Everyone seemed to have been strangled by the neck, their faces turned red from holding back, and they couldn't say a word.

Li Ye also knew that the pressure he felt was astonishing. If he kept suppressing his momentum, the people here would even be crushed to death by him.

"Old man, how many days has this family been dead?" Li Ye asked the only village elder here with a calm expression.

"It just disappeared last night." The village elder now understood the horror of Li Ye, and quickly replied: "Er Gou came to call Shuanzi to go to the field in the morning, but no matter how he called, Shuanzi didn't respond, so he just opened the door and went in

Then I realized that Shuanzi’s family was gone.”

"Thank you." Li Ye nodded politely and left the village under the watchful eyes of a group of people.

The crowd outside the thatched house kept watching Li Yexing until they could no longer see Li Ye's back, and then they started breathing heavily.

The two women, who were sweating with fear, also reacted, screamed "Old man" and hurried into the house.

Their men were still inside, so they no longer had the time to worry about being infected by the ominous atmosphere in the house.

…

Standing outside the village, Li Ye hesitated for a moment and chose to go see the situation in other places first.

After figuring out the scope of this change, we can go back to the Taoist temple to practice the hammering technique. It won't waste much time anyway.

He turned around and headed towards Qinghe County again. Soon, a small village appeared in front of him.

Before he even got close to the village, bursts of crying and talking reached his ears.

again.

Li Ye muttered something in his mind and went directly to another village without entering the village.

Time passed, and Li Ye walked all the way to Xiahe Village. He passed more than thirty villages, and surprisingly, more than half of them had evil spirits killing people.

Especially the closer to Qinghe County, the higher the frequency of such things happening.

Moreover, many families who were killed were people who moved out of the city yesterday.

The occurrence of this situation also proved that what Li Ye noticed in the middle of the night yesterday was correct.

As the people in the county fled the city, the evil spirits who were targeting them also left the city.

After thinking about it, Li Ye turned again and headed towards Yishan County.

Such a situation happened in Qinghe County, but what about outside Yishan County?

Has the rule that the city is locked in fog and evil spirits will not leave the county town also been broken?

At this time, Li Ye no longer cared about shocking the world. He ran with all his strength and it took an ordinary person half a day to complete the distance. This time, he only took half an hour to finish.

Arriving outside Yishan County, Li Ye noticed the row of empty wooden houses at a glance.

At this time, the servants of several families who were guarding outside the city had long since disappeared and their whereabouts were unknown.

His heart sank, and Li Ye had a premonition that something was wrong.

After quickly searching the wooden houses, he soon discovered two highly decomposed corpses in one wooden house.

really.

Li Ye knew in his heart that the two corpses could not have rotted because they had been dead for too long. After all, he had just been here two days ago.

In this case, there is only one reason.

Evil spirits also emerged in Yishan County.

After the five impeccable warriors entered the city, they not only failed to eliminate the evil spirits in the city, but instead introduced new changes.

Looking at the deathly silent city not far away, Li Ye could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Old Man Tong was still alive...
