Lu Changsheng walked along the mountain village path, and soon he saw a huge locust tree in front of him.
The tree was lush and leafy, and under the cover of night, it looked like a ghost face.
In front of the locust tree, there was a dilapidated yard, which must be what Brother Yang said.
He walked quickly towards the yard.
"Squeak..."
After gently pushing open the rotten wooden door, he stepped into the yard.
The surroundings were overgrown with weeds and filled with a foul smell.
At this moment, a man with disheveled hair walked out of the house in front.
The man was in tatters, hunched over, with pus-covered sores on his face, and some pus was flowing.
"She's coming, she's coming..."
As he walked, he was still mumbling something, which was very creepy.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng frowned, because the stench on his body was too strong.
"Who is she?"
He asked casually.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, like a devil from hell, staring at Lu Changsheng.
"She's coming, she's coming..."
Then he lowered his head strangely, repeating this sentence all the time.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Lu Changsheng didn't ask again and walked out of the yard.
He returned along the original route, thinking carefully in his heart.
According to his guess, the strange things in Yunxi Village might have something to do with the dead bride.
It might even be the other party directly.
Maybe it was because of some reason that it turned into a weird thing.
Or maybe it is some mysterious existence, watching from the dark.
Since Lu Changsheng joined the Demon Suppression Division, in addition to practicing martial arts,
he has been reading books every day, and he has a more thorough understanding of this strange and chaotic world.
According to the records in the books, there was no such thing as weirdness in ancient times.
After people died, they turned directly into ashes, and it was impossible for them to become weird.
Humans and weirdness are completely two different species.
However, since the appearance of demons, everything has changed. Weirdness has occurred frequently in various places,
which has opened the prelude to the tens of thousands of years of struggle between humans and weirdness.
Lu Changsheng has heard of this statement in more than one ancient book, and he quite agrees with it.
Of course, he has not seen it specifically, and it remains to be verified.
However, he also has great doubts in his heart about the fact that the human race has become weird.
Not long after, Lu Changsheng returned to Brother Yang's house, and the other party had already fallen asleep.
......
In the next few days, everyone was still squatting, but still had no gains.
Until the third day, early in the morning.
Li Yunhua summoned everyone to discuss matters.
The group then gathered again on a flat ground in the village.
When everyone was gathered, Li Yunhua spoke first.
"In the past few days, I have also investigated the strange things that happened in the village. The bride who died a few years ago may have a great connection with this matter..."
After that, he glanced at everyone.
Yue Shulan raised her eyebrows.
"I also agree very much. It is said that the father of the bride forced her to marry a middle-aged man for two taels of silver. Peng Yuntian and the bride, a pair of childhood sweethearts, were also forcibly separated..."
"In the end, the bride hanged herself to death, and her resentment was hard to dissipate, turning into a strange thing..."
"The last few people all died, only Peng Yuntian went crazy, which can prove this point."
The remaining two men also nodded.
A group of people sympathized with Peng Yuntian's experience. Not only was his beloved sold to others, but he himself could not bear the blow and went crazy.
Then everyone looked at Lu Changsheng.
"This is also the result of my investigation."
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.
There are many smart people in this world, and this group of people quickly found the key information.
"But Peng Yuntian is already crazy, and he can't get any useful information at all. How can we find that strange guy?"
"If we wait any longer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task in ten days or half a month."
Yue Shulan's face was a little ugly.
At this time, Lu Changsheng spoke lightly.
"Since all the participants are dead or crazy, why don't we start with the living?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they soon understood the implication of Lu Changsheng.
"Then let's do as Brother Lu said and go to Zhang Dahan's house to find out the situation."
Yue Shulan also nodded in agreement.
The eyes of several people looking at Lu Changsheng also carried a hint of inexplicable meaning.
No one expected that Lu Changsheng was the "weakest" among the few people, but his mind was not slow.
Soon, the group walked towards Zhang Dahan's house.
Not long after.
Everyone came to a yard in the west of the village.
Li Yunhua took the lead in pushing open the door and led everyone in.
At this time, the family had just got up and was about to go out to farm. When they saw Li Yunhua and his group, their faces became very frightened.
"I wonder what instructions you have for us , the elders?"
A middle-aged man who looked like the head of a family knelt down first.
Behind him were a middle-aged woman and a young girl. "What is the relationship between Mr. Zhang and you?"
Li Yunhua said coldly.
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his head and said in panic:
"He is my uncle. After he passed away, I inherited the family business here. This matter has been registered with the village chief..."
"Humph... Who asked about your property? Did old man Zhang leave any other relics?"
Li Yunhua looked impatient.
"No... No..."
The man answered tremblingly.
Li Yunhua and others felt a little gloomy when they heard this. The clue was interrupted again.
Just as they were about to return, a clear voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Grandpa Huan gave me a letter before he passed away, but I never opened it..."
the man's daughter said crisply, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Show us the letter quickly."
Li Yunhua's face lit up, and she was a little impatient.
The girl stood up timidly and walked into the house.
Not long after, she returned to her original place with a letter in her hand.
Li Yunhua took the letter and opened it directly in front of everyone.
Then he hung the letter in the air for everyone to read.
Lu Changsheng took a closer look.
It was full of intermittent handwriting, very sloppy, showing that the owner of the letter was not well educated.
But everyone could barely understand it.
"Peng Yuntian always wanted to marry Yan'er, but the old man refused to agree, so I got the upper hand in the end..."
"I was very happy that day..."
"Peng Yuntian turned love into hate, killed the old man, and I found the body when he dumped it..."
"He begged me not to report to the police, and sold Yan'er to me as a wife, so that he could occupy the old man's yard and property, and marry another wife..."
"People kept getting into trouble, and I'm afraid I won't live long..."
"She's here..."
"She climbed out of the dry well..."
The handwriting stopped here.
The font above seemed to be a casual record, with no connection between the upper and lower parts,
but everyone roughly guessed the cause of the incident based on a few words.
Peng Yuntian couldn't get the love he wanted, so he killed the bride's father, and was discovered after dumping the body.
In order to shut up Old Man Zhang, he sold his childhood sweetheart to the other party, and later used the bride's father's property to get a wife...
This simply shattered several people's worldviews.
Just now, a group of people were very sympathetic to Peng Yuntian, but they didn't expect that he was a scumbag.
This made several people sigh at the impermanence of the world.
"Is there a dry well in the village?"
Lu Changsheng turned his head and asked the man.
He saw the key in the letter at a glance.
Li Yunhua and others heard the words, and all stared at the man.
"Yes, yes..."
"It's in the back mountain of the village."
The man stammered and answered, his eyes full of fear.
"Let's go, we will go to meet the other party."
Li Yunhua waved his hand, looking somewhat high-spirited.
After getting the clue, they only need to kill the other party.
According to the investigation of the Demon Suppression Division, the opponent is only the lowest level of cunning, equivalent to the perfect skin refining.
The five people are enough to suppress the opponent.
After completing the task, each person will have a small merit, which can be exchanged for various skills and medicinal baths.
This is also the fundamental reason why everyone's enthusiasm has increased greatly.
