When everyone saw this, they immediately followed him, and Lin Chuan also followed him out of curiosity.
Wen Qi covered his mouth and nose while retreating. The two companions beside him did the same.
"What does this person smell like? It's so stinky!" Mingyu started to feel sick after finishing speaking.
Lin Chuan looked at the person who came out of the door. This person was seven feet tall and looked like an old man. His hands were tucked into his sleeves. His face was wrapped in a cloth and only his two eyes were exposed. The eyeballs were swinging from side to side.
, also looking at everyone.
Zhong Lai and Zhong Hui looked at each other, and they both saw the confusion in their eyes as to why there was corpse odor on living people.
Everyone kept a distance from him in case this person was infected with the disease.
"May I ask, old gentleman, what happened in the village? Why are every house closed?" Luo Xinghe took a step forward and asked warmly.
Seeing Luo Xinghe's extraordinary conversational style, the masked old man also raised his hand towards him.
"You don't deserve the title of sir. Mr. Yulang can just call the little old man Afu, who is in charge of the foreign affairs. Mr. Yulang doesn't know that there has been a plague in the village recently, and every household has been affected.
The plague cannot see the wind, so it closes the doors and windows..."
As he spoke, Ah Fu trembled, and immediately shrank into the courtyard, and continued: "I advise all distinguished guests not to stay in this village to avoid contracting the epidemic."
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes falling on Luo Xinghe.
"Old sir, there is no need to worry about us. We are students traveling from Dongxuan Academy, and we are here just for matters in the village."
"It turns out you are an expert from Dongxuan Academy! It seems that we can be saved. The sky has eyes! Our village can be saved! Everyone, please come in quickly! Ah Fu wants to tell the master and his wife about this..." Ah Fu heard.
Inexplicably excited.
When everyone entered the official's house, the smell of corpses became even stronger. Leng Yue'e covered Luo Xiaoyin and herself with scarves, and Zhong Lai twisted two strands of gray hair and stuffed them into his nostrils.
In the hall, everyone was seated, and a masked maid served tea. The fragrance of the tea temporarily covered up the smell of the corpse.
Mr. Li, who was not a member of the staff, trotted into the hall with Ah Fu's support and greeted everyone one by one before taking his seat.
Wen Qixing hadn't had tea for a long time, so he took a few sips regardless of the boiling water and smacked his lips happily.
"My surname is Li. I am the leader of this village. I hope you are not to blame for the poor hospitality." Officer Li said, cupping his hands.
"Commissioner Li is very polite. Please tell me the origin of the epidemic in the village in detail. We will find a solution as soon as possible." Luo Xinghe said.
"It's strange to say that it happened half a month ago. Half a month ago, the chicken coop of a villager, Widow Liu, was damaged. She happened to be discovered by Widow Liu who got up at night. According to Widow Liu, she thought it was a chicken at the time.
It was a big civet cat, and upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was a yellow-skinned cat, but its fur was dark and brown, unlike an ordinary yellow-skinned cat. The yellow-skinned cat was standing upright like a human, with its two front paws rubbing against each other, and its mouth opening and closing. The one in the chicken coop
The chickens walked towards it one by one as if they were possessed by evil spirits. The feathers on the chickens shed as they walked, and when they arrived in front of Huang Pizi, there were no feathers left. Huang Pizi slowly blew towards the several bald chickens in front of him.
As soon as I breathed, the skins of several chickens began to fester, emitting a rancid smell..."
Seeing that everyone was listening intently, Mr. Li put down the teacup he picked up and continued.
"The huangpizi sniffed his nose and looked intoxicated, and then started gobbling it up. Widow Liu woke up from the shock, picked up the broom and rushed towards the huangpizi with a scream. The huangpizi ran away when he smelled the movement.
Running, Widow Liu was chasing after her, and she hit the yellow man with a broom in the middle of the waist. The pain caused the yellow man to grin at Widow Liu with a fierce look in his eyes. Widow Liu was startled, and her courage suddenly weakened by three points.
I didn't dare to chase anymore. After that, people in the village got strange diseases one after another. First, the body became itchy, and then began to fester. When exposed to wind, it became more serious. When the disease was severe, they would lose their minds and run madly into the earth temple in the village...
"Liu Yuanwai had a dry and itchy throat and had to stop to take a sip of tea. When he raised his head, his ulcerated neck was exposed, which made everyone tremble with fear.
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and listened to Li Yuanwai's description that the yellow-skinned man was not a yellow-skinned man, but a corpse weasel. He had seen a corpse weasel in the Xihuang's Lament of the Buddha.
After eating human flesh, it will become a demon. The more people it eats, the stronger the demon's power will be. It can spray poison from its mouth, which is very impressive.
"How will you stay after entering the Earth Temple?" Wen Qi urged.
"Well, the villagers who entered the Earth Temple never came out again. Maybe they wanted to ask the Earth God for help before they died." Li Yuanwai continued.
"Didn't you go to the Earth Temple to see it?" Mingyu asked.
Lin Chuanxin said that this Mingyue didn't seem very smart. Didn't Yuanwai Li just make it very clear? This disease is aggravated by the wind. Who dares to go out to check.
Seeing everyone looking at him like an idiot, Mingyu smiled awkwardly, picked up the teacup, covered his face and took a sip.
"Seeing that this disease is closely related to the Tutu Temple, we will go to the Tutu Temple to investigate." Luo Xinghe said and started to get up.
"It's not too late for you all to drink the tea. The tea is newly picked for last month and it tastes delicious." Mr. Li said politely with gratitude in his eyes.
Luo Xinghe smiled when he heard this, thinking that it would be better to obey orders than to be respectful, and picked up the tea bowl to drink.
Everyone also picked up their tea bowls. Wen Qi quickly drank the water in the bowl.
"Wait!"
Everyone looked for the voice and saw that the person speaking was Lin Chuan. Wen Qi puffed up his cheeks and looked at Lin Chuan in confusion, wondering what this boy was going to say.
"May I ask Mr. Li, where does the water for making tea come from?" Lin Chuan asked.
"Well, it's taken from the stone well in the village. The stone well in the village has been there for hundreds of years. The water in the well is clear and sweet, and it's best for making tea. I don't know if you're an expert..."
"Is this the only well in the village?"
"Well, near the Tutu Temple, all the villagers have stone jars in their homes. Since the plague appeared, the villagers have filled their stone jars and no longer go out to fetch water."
"Then the water in your vat was also collected after the plague appeared?" Lin Chuan frowned slightly.
Everyone was confused at first, and then they figured out the secret.
But when Li Yuanwai nodded and said "Pfft!", Wen Qi squirted out the water in his mouth, while Ming Yu exaggeratedly put his hand into his throat and retched.
"Little brother, what do you mean, the plague is related to this well water?!" Luo Xinghe looked at this inconspicuous young man.
Lin Chuan nodded.
Li Yuanwai was shocked when he heard this, but saw the three Jinyi brothers staring at him with unkind expressions, and asked tremblingly: "Excuse me, how can you see this?"
"Listening to the officer's previous description, I can conclude that the yellow-skinned man is not a yellow-skinned weasel, but a corpse weasel."
"Zombie weasel?!"
"What is a corpse weasel?"
"Why didn't I hear about it?"
"The corpse weasel is a monster that mutated into a yellow-skinned man. I don't know how it was formed. The corpse weasel likes to eat carrion, so it will rotten live birds and eat them. It can spit rotten poison in its mouth, and its skin will ulcerate if it is contaminated.
After eating people, you can become a monster. After becoming a monster, your food intake will increase dramatically. The more people you eat, the stronger your strength will be. I suspect that the corpse weasel will put the rotten poison into the well water, and the body of the person who drinks the water will be poisoned and the body will be corrupted.
When you reach a certain level, you will be guided by the Corpse Weasel to sacrifice."
If the Linchuan does not sing, it will be fine. If it does, it will frighten everyone.
