4002. Chapter 4002 Villagers Who Were Sucked Dry 2
Among those monks, there was an old monk wearing cassocks and with a serious face. He held a Zen staff in his hand and walked around the world on his feet. From time to time he uttered a few scoldings, as if he was performing a ritual to exorcise ghosts, with a look on his face as if nothing was happening.
Around the monks, dozens of villagers gathered to watch. Leng Xuan walked up to one of the old people and asked, "Old man, what are you doing?" The old man looked at Leng Xuan and said, "My boy, our village is haunted, so we asked Master Xuanqing to come over and do this." Exorcise ghosts.”
Leng Xuan asked puzzledly: "It's haunted? What kind of ghost is it?" The old man sighed: "How do I know what kind of ghost it is? Anyway, some time ago, several people died in a row in the village. They all looked horrible, as if they had been sucked dry by a ghost. Same." Hearing this, Leng Xuan's heart couldn't help but ask, "Have all those people been buried?" The old man shook his head and said, "Not yet. The old master said that after he finished the method, he would use the three-flavored essence. Burn those corpses with fire to prevent ghosts from causing trouble." Leng Xuan smiled helplessly after hearing this. The three flavors of real fire and ghost energy are all fabricated by these fake monks, specially used to deceive these villagers. However, looking at the old man's convinced look, Leng Xuan didn't bother to point it out. He asked about the location of the corpses and then walked over quickly. Not long after, he came under a makeshift canopy and saw six coffins without lids placed on the ground.
Leng Xuan walked to a coffin and took a look at it. He saw a haggard corpse lying in the coffin. The skin of the corpse was white and the whole body was shriveled. It seemed that all the blood on the body had been sucked dry before death. . After Leng Xuan carefully inspected it, he found that there were no wounds on the body. He frowned slightly, then walked to several other coffins and took a look, only to see that the corpses were all in the same state of death. Leng Xuan's heart sank slightly. Through the strange appearance of these corpses, he couldn't help but think of Zhong Lingyu. With Zhong Lingyu's soul body, if she cannot find a host body for a long time, she must absorb energy to maintain the power of her soul. And these villagers have obviously become Zhong Lingyu's food. After pondering for a moment, he returned to the old man and asked, "Old man, when did those people die?" The old man replied, "Four days ago."
"Four days?" Leng Xuan thought to himself. Assuming that his idea was true, since Zhong Lingyu came here four days ago, these four days were enough for her to go to other places. He sighed secretly. This would make it even more troublesome to find Zhong Lingyu. At this time, Leng Xuan saw that the sky was getting dark, so he left the village and then galloped towards Fang Yuan Sect. When he returned to the sect, night had completely enveloped the Qifeng Mountains.
Leng Xuan walked to the bamboo building. Just as he opened the door and was about to go in, he heard Hong Yun's cold voice coming from not far away: "Fellow Daoist Chen, where have you been?" Leng Xuan turned his head and said with a smile: "Walking around. Wandering, what? Do you have anything to do with me?" Hong Yun shook her head and said, "No." After a pause, she continued, "By the way, have you seen Tong Ling? I just went to her room to look for her, but I didn't see her. Someone." Leng Xuan was slightly startled and said, "I just came back and haven't met her yet. Has she gone out?"
