The courtyard was as cold as dead.

Everyone looked at the maid who pulled down their heads, and the cold chills seeped up from the soles of their feet, and they were still terrifying like chicken skin.

The maid did not fall.

She threw the torn head aside.

The black blood splashed out from the neck solidified, and circles of blood bubbles were squirming, and strange teeth-like sounds sounded from the wound as big as a bowl.

"What's going on?"

Everyone's spine was numb.

Several servants and maids were even more frightened and screamed.

With this scream, the headless maid suddenly rushed over as if she had smelled the fishy prey, carrying a huge bloody aura.

"Get out of the way!"

The Lord Gaotan shouted loudly, lifted up his sword and rushed forward.

The blade was wrapped in a twilight like a waterfall and slashed firmly on the headless maid's shoulder, but was shaken by a rebound force.

The Lord of Gaotan's arm was numb and his heart was shocked.

Several other disciples who came to their senses all took out their weapons and rushed forward.

Although the headless maid was slow to react, her body was like cast of iron, and no sword could react when she slashed on her body.

On the contrary, the disciple who had no time to hide was scratched by her and bleeded.

Under the bleak moonlight, the headless maid fought with several people like a monster that had transformed into a mutated one, and her sharp nails were like eagle claws.

The owner of the stone hall next to him looked gloomy.

His wrist trembled and a talisman slipped from his sleeve.

The talisman was rubbing its fingers with its radiance, radiating a blue rainbow and purple lightning, and hitting the headless maid hard.

The talisman fell on its body and made a "hissing" sound. The body, which was originally unafraid of swords, was now wrapped in a ball of green flames, spreading around at a speed visible to the naked eye, and drops of green liquid flowed down from the neck.

When the body was almost burning, a small black toad emerged from the body.

The burned corpse also turned into powder.

The toad was only half the size of a palm, making a harsh squeak, and there was a red triangular convex flesh on the top of his body.

After escaping from the corpse, it ran towards the shadow in the corner of the courtyard, but was cut in half by the blade swung by the Lord Gaotan and turned into pus and blood.

The courtyard then returned to quiet.

If it weren't for the pus and blood on the ground and the thrown head, no one would have expected that scene.

The Lord Gaotan signaled the injured disciple to go down to treat him, stared at the toad that turned into pus and blood on the ground, and said lightly: "This should be a Gu insect."

Gu insect?

Everyone looked at each other.

The owner of the stone hall called the old housekeeper who came to watch the night and asked, "Did you stay in the mourning hall all night?"

The pale-faced old housekeeper nodded: "I did stay in the mourning hall, and then I smelled a scent, and then... my head became confused until I heard a maid screaming and then found that the corpse of the master in the coffin disappeared, and then I called out to others."

The Lord Gaotan stared at the Lord of the Stone Hall in a sinister manner: "Lord of the Stone Hall, why do you know how to deal with this insect?"

If the owner of the stone hall had not taken out the talisman just now, the headless maid would have been unable to surrender easily.

The owner of the stone hall said coldly: "I have encountered monsters before, so I naturally have some experience in dealing with them."

The Lord Gaotan snorted coldly, and did not say anything to him. He turned his head and shouted at the disciple of Nanfengtang: "Search me carefully around the yard, be sure to find the corpse of the rudder!"

"yes!"

All the disciples answered.

Chen Mu squatted down and stared at the green blood on the ground, a bright light appeared in his eyes.

He remembered the green liquid he found in the corner of the wall a few days ago. At that time, Hongzhuer judged that it was blood flowing out of the human body after being infected with the Gu.

Now it is exactly the same as the blood in front of you!

Chen Mu said secretly: "In other words, the murderer who killed Murong's helm that day was indeed the one who was caught in the Gu, just like the maid."

He walked to the maid's head and observed it.

Strangely, everyone saw that her head was pulled off by herself, but the wound was extremely flat, as if it was cut by a knife.

Chen Mu reached out to touch the edge of the broken neck.

Like the head of the bride before, it feels a little cold to the touch.

He walked to the coffin again.

The empty coffin emits a strange scent, very similar to the green liquid scent, like the smell of natural floral scent and rouge.

Chen Mu bent down and observed carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and his pupils narrowed slightly.

I saw some small scratches at the bottom of the coffin, like a person lying inside, scratched with his fingernails, which was very shallow, indicating that his strength was not very strong.

"Miss, you guys go back and rest first. I will look for the corpse of the helm leader."

The Lord Gaotan said to Murong Ping, who was sobbing in a low voice.

Seeing that the girl was just crying and didn't seem to hear his words, she collapsed on the ground as if her soul was being pulled away, the Lord Gaotan sighed.

Seeing Ji Wuming in the crowd, Lord Gao hesitated for a moment, walked up to him and said, "Mr. Ji, please go and persuade the eldest lady."

Ji Wuming is not easy to refuse, just bite the bullet and comfort the girl.

Chen Mu's eyes flew past the others in the yard, paused on Yun Zhiyue, gave a wink quietly, and walked towards his room.

Yun Zhiyue frowned slightly, and after eye contact with Mrs. Shi, she followed her while no one was paying attention.

Entering the room, Chen Mu lit the candle.

But in a while, Yun Zhiyue entered the room.

"Is there something wrong?"

Yun Zhiyue's tone was cold.

She secretly pinched out the magic trick and sensed it, and found that the demonic aura on the other party still existed, and there was also demonic aura in the room.

Chen Mu signaled her to sit on the chair and said, "Open the skylight and say something bright, Mrs. Shi should be listening to you. The purpose of your coming here is not just the death of Murong Lord."

Yun Zhiyue's lips curled up slightly: "Your purpose is not pure either."

"Yes, we are all the same." Chen Mu asked with a smile. "Do you know the origin of the insect just now?"

"Know."

Yun Zhiyue looked serious and her cherry lips spit out three words. "Corpse Puppet Gu!"

Dasi Ming is indeed amazing.

Chen Mu praised secretly.

Yun Zhiyue sat on the chair and explained in detail: "This is an ancient insect of the Yiyuan tribe. It is refined with toads and demon blood. When it penetrates into the human body, even if the head is cut, the corpse will move in the form of a 'living dead'."

"Yiyuan clan?"

Chen Mu felt a little stern.

He remembered the water-married bride and groom, who were from the Yiyuan tribe.

"Will someone be controlled?"

"meeting!"

Yun Zhiyue said with a firm tone. "This kind of Gu is the same as other Gu. It has a mother and son Gu. The mother Gu is not harmed. Putting it in the body can control other children."

Chen Mu suddenly realized: "So the Gu in that maid's body is a Zi Gu."

Yun Zhiyue nodded: "That's right, and the control distance of this Gu is generally within twenty feet."

Chen Mu's eyes lit up: "What do you mean is someone in the yard just now controlling the maid?"

Yun Zhiyue pursed her lips slightly: "Yes, someone in the yard just now must have a mother Gu in her body. It was this person who controlled the maid's body."

Chen Mu fell into deep thought.

There were many people in the yard just now, at least more than 30 people. If one of them was time-consuming to investigate, it would be alarmed.

And it is also possible that the person behind the scenes is hiding around.

Who will it be?

Is this person the murderer who killed Murong's helm? Or it's just a chess piece.

"I have provided you with information. Should you also give me some information in return and tell me something. I don't believe you didn't find anything."

Yun Zhiyue's beautiful eyes are bright.
