Chapter 120 Strange (1/2)

"To find a water source to dig a well, you need to find a well-drilling team. How can we help you? Do you want a few of us to dig a well for you with iron rods on our shoulders?"

Sometimes Qiusheng responds before he even speaks.

The village chief's face froze and he couldn't even smile. He looked at Uncle Jiu with a sad face, for fear that Uncle Jiu would reject him.

Uncle Jiu frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Lin Yu scolded Qiu Sheng.

"You are an ignorant person. If you don't understand, just say less. Stop embarrassing yourself here and keep your mouth shut."

Although one is a young adult, the other is just a child who has just turned one year old.

This tall young man, however, was scolded by the child with a straight face and lowered his head with his hands. He frowned and did not dare to say a word.

Such a contrasting scene made the young men in the village laugh a little.

But they all held back their laughter.

I was afraid of hurting the face of the group of mages in front of me.

Even Qiu Sheng, the guy who was scolded by children, didn't speak well when he opened his mouth, but looking at him wearing a gold hoop on his head, he didn't look like an ordinary person.

Even ordinary mages are not something they can laugh at.

Naturally, I dare not say anything.

After listening to Lin Yu scolding Qiu Sheng, Uncle Jiu immediately put a smile on his face, raised his chest and raised his head slightly proud of himself.

This godson of his has the same mind as him.

Lin Yu also smiled at Uncle Jiu.

Naturally, he couldn't let his adoptive father lose face when he went out.

Besides, this face should not be lost in the first place, because Uncle Jiu is a decent person to begin with.

It's really a bit frustrating to be embarrassed because of the ignorance of two apprentices who are obviously very capable.

Although the eldest disciple is not responsible now, at least he has been with him for many years and has been taught and reprimanded by Lin Yu. He has gradually learned not to talk nonsense outside.

Only this third disciple's current personality is still a little out of touch.

"For Master, finding a dragon's acupoint is not a problem, let alone finding a water source."

"Not to mention looking for the water source, even across these two mountains, the water level is exactly the same. Even if it's a little different, it doesn't matter."

Lin Yu boasted about Uncle Jiu's abilities without any humility.

The smile on Uncle Jiu's face became even brighter.

The village chief and others all gasped, and even Qiu Sheng felt incredible.

This kind of performance made Uncle Jiu feel more and more comfortable, as if he had drank a bowl of cold sour plum soup in the dog days of summer.

I could hardly keep the smile on my face. I barely retained some sense and told myself to be humble.

Then he waved his hands and said to the village chief and others:

"Haha, the child is still young and doesn't know how to be humble. He just likes to tell the truth."

It was shocking to hear, and it didn't sound like he was being humble.

The village chief was not only amazed at Uncle Jiu's superb magic power and vast supernatural powers, but he also flattered Uncle Jiu because he wanted something from him.

A smile on his face.

"I just asked Uncle Jiu because I knew he was capable. This time Uncle Jiu will definitely help our village again. Hundreds of people in our village will be grateful."

The young man who followed the village chief also had a smart head. He was smiling and holding his fists, and he had a lot of good things to say.

"What the village chief said is that our whole village has received great kindness from Uncle Jiu, your master and disciple. When we understand this matter, I must provide Uncle Jiu with an immortality tablet at home."

Huh!

The more you say it, the more exaggerated it becomes.

"Oh, this can't be done, it can't be done."

Uncle Jiu smiled and waved his hands, and said quickly: "This is a matter of great importance to the people's livelihood. How can we cultivators stand by and watch? As a disciple of Maoshan, I naturally want to help."

"It looks like I have to stay in your village for a few more days."

As soon as Uncle Jiu held his hand, the village chief smiled even brighter and responded happily.

"What are you talking about? With living gods like you and these fairies coming to our village, it makes our village shine."

"We still have to rely on you to find water sources for our village. We are lucky enough to drink the water found by the gods. This is also a blessing that our village has cultivated for hundreds of years."

It was too exaggerated, and Uncle Jiu couldn't stand it anymore.

Uncle Jiu is such a boring person.

Sometimes he likes to be proud and flattered by others, but if he is flattered too much, he will feel embarrassed.

"It's becoming more and more exaggerated. How can it get to this level? Let's not stay here anymore. Let's go down the mountain first, make some preparations, and solve the villagers' water problem as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay."

The village chief nodded repeatedly.

The two oldest people took steps forward.

Walking on the rugged mountain road is a breeze.

Especially Uncle Jiu walked briskly, and he was in a good mood just by looking at him.

After bypassing this cliff, we passed a hillside and reached halfway up the mountain.

There is a cliff on the top of the mountain next door. It is bottomless and only has a broken suspension bridge on it.

The wind howled, blowing upward from the bottom of the cliff, and the shrill whine could be heard even from a mountaintop.

"Master!"

As he was walking, Lin Yu suddenly stopped, raised his ears, and called out "Master."

Uncle Jiu was joking with the village chief. When he heard Lin Yu's tone, he immediately stopped smiling. His heart was awe-inspiring, his expression did not change, and he looked around carefully.

Lin Yu also pretended to be nonchalant and walked forward.

After taking more than 20 steps, it seemed that he had confirmed what he was thinking.

He rolled his eyes and pulled Uncle Jiu back.

"Master, the matter of digging the well is really important. It is better to let the village chief and others go down the mountain to prepare. At least prepare our accommodation."

The village chief nodded repeatedly.

"It's all easy to say, it's all easy to say, but we can't let a few mages be wronged like yesterday."

Uncle Jiu took a deep look at his second apprentice, thoughtfully, and nodded in agreement.

"Let's stay on the mountain first and try to find out why the feng shui is broken. It's really a pity that a good place with good water has been broken like this."

"If we don't find out the reason, if a new well is built and then destroyed, there won't be any water available here."

When the village chief heard what the little mage said, he immediately believed it.

"It makes sense, it makes sense, the little mage has thought carefully."

After all, this draft either eats river water or underground water.

The river water is now broken, so if you want to dig a well, you have to draw water from the ground.

For no reason, the underground water is not stable. If someone destroys the water again, their village will really have no water to drink.

Uncle Jiu nodded with deep understanding.

"Village Chief, what you think is reasonable. I think it's still early and it's hard to start digging a well right away when we go back today. You haven't prepared anything yet."

"In this case, we won't waste time by going down there. No matter we can't find it or we can find it, we have to look for the reason on this mountain."

"You guys go down the mountain first. Our masters and disciples will search the mountain to see if we can find the specific reason."

"Okay, then I'll thank Uncle Jiu and you guys. We'll go down the mountain first."

The village chief followed Uncle Jiu's instructions and went down the mountain with these young men.

Uncle Lin Yu and the three of them, Qiusheng Qiusheng and Ren Tingting, who were both confused, walked back.

We only walked about 100 meters, but we were turning left and right on the mountain. We were already far away and the village chief and others were nowhere to be seen.

Lin Yu and Uncle Jiu stopped and looked at the hillside next to them.

"Still not coming down?"

Lin Yu and Uncle Jiu greeted each other.

It took another two or three breaths before I heard some movement.

The leaves rustled, the branches broke, and with a burst of footsteps, two figures jumped out from the dense forest on the hillside.

"What are you two doing sneaking around here? Fortunately, Xiao Yu reacted quickly."

Uncle Jiu looked at his junior brother seriously.

Deng Zibu and Lu Jin scratched their heads and looked sad.

Ren Tingting suddenly realized it when she saw the two of them.

No wonder Lin Yu suddenly stopped the master while walking.

It turned out that traces of Uncle Deng and this man named Lu Jin were found.

Yesterday, the two of them caused a scene in this town and killed all the security teams who were chasing them.

Now he is on the wanted list in Jiuquan Town.

When I went out this morning, I met Captain John who was leading a search for the two of them.

No wonder the village chief and others were sent away.

People talk a lot, and their hearts are unpredictable.

If the village chief and others knew that they knew each other, it would inevitably cause complications.

Regardless of whether the people in this village would really appreciate Uncle Jiu's kindness, the two of them made a big fuss, and Jiuquan Town must have offered a high reward. The money and silk are so exciting.

What's more, the whole village is having a hard time, only the village chief is better off.

If you say that the village chief has nothing to do with the town mayor, even a ghost will not believe it.

"Didn't you two go looking for the body of the female ghost who died unjustly? Why are you looking so sad? Didn't you find it?"

Lin Yu asked curiously.

Deng Zibu and Lu Jin sighed bitterly.

"No, I just didn't find it."

Lin Yu was confused.

"This is strange. Could it be that the security guard dared to lie to us?"

This kind of thing shouldn't happen, after all, that person's soul has been extracted.

He would never be able to withstand the interrogation.

"Don't you know how to interrogate?"

This shouldn't be the case either. Deng Zibu is an expert at using talismans.

It is not easy to take care of a soul that is trapped by a prisoner and has no power to resist.

But Lin Yu still said: "You release that person's soul, and I will help you ask."

The two people looked at each other feebly, full of helplessness.

"That man's soul is gone."

"No more?"

"That's right, it's gone."

Deng Zibu echoed.

Lu Jin immediately explained: "We looked for the body last night, but we couldn't find it when we arrived at the place where he said he would dump it. We thought he had lied to us, so we pulled him out and interrogated him again."

"In the end, he couldn't survive the torture and immediately passed away..."

After hearing this, Qiu Shengwencai and Ren Tingting took a breath of air.

Although these people bully men and women, harm their neighbors, and have human lives on their hands, they do deserve to die.

But it still makes people feel a little scared to lose their soul like this.

"Then what should we do now? My soul is gone. No matter how much I try to interrogate the truth, I won't be able to find out the truth."

Wen Cai is also worried about this.

His face is actually sad enough without having to worry about it.

"That's not the case."

Deng Zibu changed his tone and continued: "Although I impulsively knocked that guy out of his mind yesterday, we later discovered that he did not actually lie to us."

"How do you say this?"

"We investigated carefully and found that there were indeed traces of corpses dumped in that place. The ground was in a mess, with some torn rags, aged over time, and some broken bones."

"It must be that their town has liked to dump corpses there for so many years, and it always leaves some traces."

"Although no body was found there, we also found traces of the body being dumped and their footprints back and forth."

"Since we found the right place, why can't we find it? Could it be that it was eaten by some wild beast?"

Ren Tingting also thought along with her.

Deng Zibu shook his head.

"Lu Jin and I also felt very strange. It must not have been eaten by wild animals, because we did not find the hair, footprints or feces of wild animals there."

"And even if it is eaten by a wild beast, it should not be eaten so cleanly."

"We looked at the messy grounds there, and the rags and shoes we could find, and some clues showed that many bodies were thrown here. It was simply a mass grave."

"Even if there are many beasts that eat them cleanly, it's impossible to leave just a few broken bones."

This thing is strange.

Uncle Jiu also frowned and thought carefully.

After much deliberation, I can't think of the reason? Is there a monster causing trouble?

"It's a simple search. If you can't find it, why don't you set up an altar?"

Uncle Jiu asked his junior brother.

When he was in Maoshan, he actually taught Deng Zibu how to make the seven-star Kongming Lantern.

The seven-star Kongming Lantern has endless uses.

A commonly used direction is to find dead bodies.

Now that he has the soul of the female ghost in his hand and the aura of the female ghost, it is still easy to find her dirty tricks.

"The time was too short and I didn't have time to do it. However, although I didn't use the seven-star Kongming Lantern, I used some tracking charms, but still found nothing."

"This is also one of the strange places. Even if it is impossible, it may be eaten clean by a group of wild beasts, and the messy aura can still be found."

"But now I just can't find anything."

Uncle Jiu frowned. He encountered several strange things one after another, and he already had some ominous premonitions in his heart.

Lin Yu tapped his fingers lightly and calculated slowly.

After thinking for a while, he spoke to everyone.

"In my opinion, there is a secret here that we haven't discovered yet."

"One thing is a coincidence, but several things mixed together are not a coincidence."

"How do you say this?"

Deng Zibu asked puzzledly.

"Uncle, you don't know, just now we were helping the village to check the Feng Shui, and the dragon spit out pearls, but the excellent water veins were destroyed."

"Combined with the strangeness of the mass graves, I was able to hide the corpse from your uncle's tracking talisman. I'm afraid there is a demon hidden in Jiuquan Town that we have not been able to discover..."

After hearing Lin Yu's conjecture, everyone thought it was possible.

So far, only demons and evil spirits can explain the strangeness.

None of these things that happened could be accomplished by human power.
