He looked up at the sky, and there was still some time before the sunset.
"It's still early, let's go to Lingdong Village first."
The soul-summoning talisman can only play its greatest role at night, so Qin Shaoyou wants to take advantage of this time to go to the village to see if he can find some useful clues.
"good!"
Lao Hong did not hesitate and immediately took Qin Shaoyou to fly out, and Feiyan and Wei Feng hurriedly followed.
However, when these people came over Lingdong Village, they were shocked to find that the entire mountain village had already become a ruin, and the village was full of weeds. The original houses and buildings collapsed and corrupted.
It became a ruined land.
But after looking closer, you can see a large area of graves at the entrance of the village, neatly arranged on both sides of the road into the village, and the end is very strange.
"this..."
Lao Hong was stunned.
"These graves should be the original villagers here, but...how did so many people die here all at once?"
"Is it because I was attacked by a monster?"
Wei Feng's face became a little ugly. He was originally from such a small village. His similar life experience made him unconsciously feel angry for these people.
Qin Shaoyou looked around and found that the collapse of these houses was facing the entrance of the village. Moreover, there were traces of fire burning on many ruins. These traces were not only left on some thick wooden stakes, but also on some stones.
They still retain the charred mark.
"Not a monster!"
"This corresponds to the firelight that Uncle Hong saw that night. The one who caused all this should be a mage who is proficient in the fire system and the galaxy of the fire system..."
Qin Shaoyou said with a frown.
The few people looked at each other, their faces different.
The Tianshi attacked mortals, which violated the taboo in the entire world of immortal cultivation!
This is not only strictly prohibited by the Supreme Immortal Sect, but also a red line that is conventionally established in the entire world of immortal cultivation. No matter how cultivators fight or kill, they must not use astrology against mortals!
Of course, except for those celestial masters with status and background...
"Look, there are people there!"
While the few people were surprised, Feiyan saw an old man with a hunchbacked shape appear in the woods at the entrance of the village below.
He walked to the entrance of the village with a crutch, supported by a teenager.
"Dogwa, beg your parents..."
The old man turned around and said to the young man with a tired look on his face.
The boy had a hint of sadness on his face. After hearing the old man's words, he walked straight to the two nearest graves, knelt down and bowed one after another.
Then, he stood up again, walked to the middle of the road, and bowed to the other graves one by one.
Qin Shaoyou and others, who were in the clouds, realized how these graves came from when they saw these two people appear.
Yes, if all the people in the village died, no one would have collected their bodies.
"Old Hong, go down and ask, maybe they know something."
With the order of Qin Shaoyou, a few people quietly landed in the woods not far away, and then, they appeared "very unexpectedly" at the entrance of Lingdong Village.
The old man and the goat were worshiping the dead, and suddenly heard a sound coming from behind him. Duan looked back with a look of surprise.
"You...who are you?!"
Gouwa picked up a stone from the ground with a look of vigilance and rushed to the old man.
"Don't panic, old man, we young master went out for a trip, but unexpectedly got lost in the mountains and came here by accident..."
Lao Hong said slowly.
"Well, the road in this mountain is really hard to walk. Don't talk about you, old man, I almost lost my way when I returned here..."
The old man's expression was covered with tired faces. He ignored everyone and turned around and looked at the grave on this place.
"Don't worry, I'll be here to accompany you soon..."
Although the young man was a little wary, he was not very strong. After Lao Hong said this, he believed it and quickly put down the stone in his hand.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou and others are not evil people.
"Old man, ask, what happened here..."
Qin Shaoyou pretended to be unclear and stepped forward and asked.
Perhaps he had no malice when he saw a few people, and Qin Shaoyou was also very polite. The old man sighed lightly and replied:
"Although my eyes are turbid, you can also see that you should have come for the night, right?!"
When Qin Shaoyou and others heard this, a deep meaning flashed in their eyes.
What happened that night...
It seems that this matter is indeed not simple!
Then, the old man sighed and brought this past one by one.
One day fourteen years ago, an old Taoist priest came from outside and said that he wanted to borrow the road from Lingdong Village and go into the valley behind to collect herbs.
There was a legend in Lingdong Village a long time ago that someone saw a peach tree that could run and jump, and it would disappear without a trace when it met people.
People in Lingdong Village have long regarded this legendary peach tree as the "tree god". Every year, they hold a "tree god sacrifice ceremony" to go to the valley to worship and pray for the blessing of the tree god.
In other words, this Lingdong Valley is the forbidden area of Lingdong Village, and outsiders will never allow them to enter.
This old Taoist priest who suddenly appeared obviously went with their "tree god". How could these people agree?
Therefore, the old Taoist priest had the first conflict with the villagers.
However, for some reason, the old Taoist priest did not continue to argue with everyone, but instead left with apologetic expression.
The villagers of Lingdong Village also thought the matter was over.
However, the next day, the old Taoist priest came again.
This time, he brought a lot of elixirs, saying that taking them can prolong life and also gave free medical treatment to many people in the village. Indeed, he cured many people's skin injuries that day.
The old Taoist priest then made a sincere promise that he was indeed going to the mountains to collect herbs, not to blaspheme the tree god, and, if he could collect enough medicinal materials, he could also give everyone some elixirs.
As the saying goes, eating people is short-speaking.
This time, some people in the village had different opinions.
Anyone who has the benefits agrees, and any one who has received the pills and is not allowed to enter.
Although the old Taoist priest was a little patient, his patience was also limited.
Seeing that there were still a few mountain people making trouble and cursing, the old Taoist priest was already a little irritated.
But he left at that time, but in the middle of the night, he rushed into the valley while the night was shining.
And that night, a sound of earth-shaking erupted in Lingdong Valley. In the middle of the night, the entire valley was red and the fire was soaring into the sky!
Now, the villagers immediately realized that it was the old Taoist priest who entered the valley!
However, before they could hit the valley to see what was going on, they were frightened to see that the old Taoist priest rushed out of the valley like crazy during the day and took great action against them!
The blood light accompanied by the fire, dyeing the night red!
After killing these villagers, the old Taoist priest made up his mind and did not stop, releasing a powerful fire-system satellite technique, burning the entire mountain village!
The surviving old man in front of him happened to be taking his three-year-old grandson to shit in the woods outside the village that night, and then he escaped by luck.
After the old man finished speaking, his eyes were filled with blood and tears.
In the eyes of mortals, the Heavenly Masters are all high-ranking immortals, and they are one class higher than them. Back then, Lingdong Village was slaughtered by a mage. As the only witness here, even if he knew the truth, then
Who can I find to seek justice?
Besides, even mortals know that the Heavenly Master cannot attack mortals, so few people believe him if the old man says.
They will only believe what they are willing to believe.
for example...
The old man was frightened and the one who massacred the entire Lingdong Village that night was the tree god they had worshipped for nearly a hundred years!
After this, many celestial masters have indeed come to investigate.
But for some reason, these people either disappeared here or kept silent about the matter after they came back, and after a long time, they would be left alone.
