Chapter 652: Separation of the Head and Body

Meng He Wuen's power in the south is relatively small, with only a thousand people. Although Yangzhou is a big city, it only has ten foreign troops.

Among these ten foreign troops, only the deacon was truly trained by Kublai Khan. The others were loyal people selected from the army and then trained by the deacon.

At this moment, the soldiers surrounding Liujiazhuang were just garrison troops borrowed from the local area.

"Captain Qian, no one came out, right?" Deacon Hatu brought people to Liujiazhuang and asked.

"No, it's weird to say, Lord Hatu, I sent someone to climb over the wall and enter Liujia, and they screamed not long after entering. After that, I sent a few more brothers in, but none of them came out, and the brothers were all scared." Qian Baihu said.

"Didn't I say just surround it, don't go in?" Hatu said.

Captain Qian smiled and said, "Isn't this just curiosity? I have been here for two hours. The Liu family also has a big gate and a big courtyard, but no one has come out. I shouted outside, but no one inside said anything, so I sent someone in to check. Who would have thought... It's really weird! The people I sent were all good soldiers in the army!"

"Sir Steward, what exactly is His Majesty investigating when he established your Steward Factory?"

Hatu said, "Don't worry about it, just break the door open!"

"Yes!"

Captain Qian waved his hand, and immediately a soldier came forward to break the door. The copper-nailed wooden door of the manor was originally half-closed, so there was no need to break it, and it was kicked open with one foot.

Hatu looked at the door, but saw a bloodstain on the corridor inside the door, and a silk scarf.

Seeing the silk scarf, the scholar cried in grief, calling Ling'er's name.

The factory guard curled his lips and said, "Is this kid crazy or not?"

Hatu said, "He is half crazy, he must have been frightened and hit. I asked you to check the terrain inside. How is it?"

The factory guard hurriedly said, "We found the tenants of the Liu family. Some of them passed by the village and drew a topographic map."

He took out a very simple topographic map, which basically marked most of the halls and houses of the Liu family village. Some places the tenants had never been to, so they naturally couldn't draw them.

Hatu took the map and looked at it slowly, asking about the details from time to time.

There are more than a hundred people in the entire Liu family village, most of whom are slaves and retainers, and there are only a few real family members.

"Up and down, more than a hundred people, after being killed, the surrounding tenants didn't even notice anything..." Hatu pursed his lips, basically determined that this was a ghost killing, and it was definitely not a bandit.

The guards were a little confused and said, "Sir, are we really going in? No one has come out of the people who went in."

"Why didn't anyone come out? Didn't the scholar come out alive? What? Are you scared?" Hatu said.

The guards were all excited and said, "Our lives belong to the Khan, what are we afraid of!"

"Okay! Hudan stays, and the others follow me. If you don't come back by dawn, raze this place to the ground!" Hatu said.

"Yes!"

They were loyal to Kublai Khan, and they dismounted and drew their swords, striding forward.

Originally, there were ten of them, but three of them had been sent to this courtyard before, and their lives and deaths were still unknown.

Now one person is left, and the remaining people, including the scholar, are only seven.

As for the local army, Kublai Khan said that they could be used, but not trusted. Hatu didn't think of bringing them in together. If he succeeded in cracking this place and getting the rare items by chance, the Qian Baihu people would become greedy, and he would not be able to explain to His Majesty.

Hatu led his men to bravely break into the manor from the main gate, looking fearless. Only the scholar was crying and struggling desperately.

But he was no match for the crowd. He was handcuffed and dragged in.

They walked through the front yard, observing as they went in. The more bloodstains they saw, the more bloodstains they had. When they reached the second entrance, the ground and walls were covered with dried bloodstains.

"This is the trace of a person's head being chopped off!" The guards were experienced in killing people and could tell at a glance.

Hatu looked more carefully and said in surprise: "There is no body... There is no trace of dragging the body..."

After hearing what he said, the guards also realized that there was only a large amount of blood splattering at the scene, but there were no small blood spots dripping from the knife, and there were no bloodstains left by carrying the body.

Whether it was dragging or carrying it away, it was impossible that there would be no traces at all. The body disappeared out of thin air?

"Scholar, where are the heads piled up like a mountain?" Hatu asked.

The scholar was carried by someone, trembling, looking around, and muttering: "Run! Run! Run!"

How could this group of people want to leave? They were people who were willing to die for Kublai Khan. After more than a month of tossing and turning, they finally found what His Majesty was looking for. How could they let it go?

"Go inside! Follow the bloodstains! It looks like a group of people are running out of the gate, but people are dying along the way." Hatu guessed.

Although there were no bodies, he could tell from the bloodstains.

The closer you go to the inner house, the more bloodstains there are, which means more people died.

And the closer you get to the gate, the fewer people die.

This is not just a group of people running to the gate, people keep dying, and in the end only this scholar and 'Ling'er' escaped to the gate, but Ling'er was also killed, and only the scholar escaped.

Hatu held a scimitar, looked around with a fierce look, and led his people to move forward quickly, and soon rushed to the middle hall.

After the middle hall, the back is where the family members and the women live.

And here, they saw the most bloodstains, it seemed that a large-scale encirclement and suppression had taken place here.

"Puff!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of beheading, and a column of blood spattered from the blind spot of Hatu's left eye, with some on his face.

Hatu suddenly turned around and saw a brother standing in front of him, his head flying.

The heads are separated!

With his head in mid-air, his mouth opened and he screamed in terror.

But for a moment, the screams stopped suddenly, and then the body disappeared, and when the head disappeared, it had not even hit the ground.

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked.

Hatu's pupils shrank and he saw a piece of white cloth floating next to the dead man.

The white tablecloth hangs freely as if covering a person.

But there was no one in sight, and there was nothing under the white cloth, just air, so it looked like it was floating.

"Is this... a ghost?" Hatu was only briefly frightened, then retreated violently and distanced himself, shouting: "Kill him!"

He said to cut, but he stepped back.

It's not that I'm afraid. If I haven't seen a ghost, I might be a little scared. But after seeing it now, I don't have any fear at all.

Isn't it just an invisible person holding a big white cloth?

The reason why he retreated was because he didn't want to die needlessly. His Majesty had taught him to let others test the target.

"Let's see if the knife is useful..."

Hatu thought to himself, and saw that his subordinate Fanzi had already slashed with his sword.

However, the sharp knife penetrated directly through the white cloth without any resistance, as if it was swung into the air.

"Pfft!"

"Ah!" Before Na Fanzi could recover, he felt a chill on his neck, blood spurted out, and his head flew up.

In just a moment, two people were killed in a row. Everyone's scalp was numb. Remembering the scholar's cry, they turned around and ran away.

The knife is useless!

Although Hatu was prepared, this ghost was not afraid of the knife. But he didn't expect that he was so unafraid of the law. The knife completely passed through, and the white cloth was not affected at all.

"Run first!"

Hatu threw the torch in his hand and stepped back, only to see that the torch also passed through.

"This..." Hatu's heart skipped a beat. His Majesty taught him to test the target and deduce information from the target's feedback.

But does this still need to be pushed? It was completely out of reach and ignored all attacks.

If you look closely, you can see that the white cloth is hanging freely, and the wind has not disturbed it. The white cloth has no intention of dancing at all.

At this moment, he was chasing everyone, and it didn't look like he was flying, but like he was walking.

It was like an invisible person, with his head covered with a white cloth, walking towards them.

"Let me go! Untie me!" The scholar was carried away, but his hands and feet were cuffed. When he saw the familiar white cloth, he screamed in horror.

Hattu looked at him and immediately said: "Throw him over!"

This was the purpose of taking the scholar with him. Although the scholar had confused thinking, he was the only one of the Liu family who survived.

Maybe he knows more.

Sure enough, the scholar was thrown over. He was extremely frightened and shouted: "In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart... Gou..."

He still couldn't tell what was behind Gou, but surprisingly, he hit Baibu!

Although it didn't shake Shirabu at all, it did hit him.

The scholar fell to the ground with his head red and swollen as if he had hit a cliff.

Then he shouted tremblingly: "People...people..."

He got stuck again and was so anxious that he was sweating: "People... what are people..."

"Pfft!" The scholar's head flew up, and a column of blood spurted out.

The fan who recommended the scholar was stunned, and then he saw Baibu coming towards him again.

Na Fanzi wanted to run away, but Hatu shouted behind him: "Come on! If you memorize the Three Character Sutra, you can touch it."

Fanzi looked confused: "I can't!"

Saying that, he turned around and ran away.

However, as soon as he took two steps, he turned the corner and saw a large, densely packed piece of "white sheet" coming from the direction he came from, with a "head shaking" attitude coming towards him.

"There are so many..." His scalp suddenly became numb, and his hands and feet were trembling with shock. When he turned around again, he found that Bai Bu, who was chasing him, was already in front of him.

This time, he had a premonition that in one breath, his head would fall to the ground... No, if he couldn't even fall to the ground, there would be no bones left.

"Human...in the beginning, human beings are inherently good, similar in nature, but far apart in habits..." Fanzi was anxious, and seeing the white cloth close at hand, the sentence that the scholar often talked about suddenly blurted out.

Not to mention, people were forced out, so he actually didn't bother to record the scholar's essays, thinking they all tasted sour.

But now that I knew it could save lives, I immediately recited it.

While shouting this sentence, he slashed Baibu's body with a knife.

No sound, but no passing through either!

He could feel himself hitting the entity! However, there was only an innocuous wrinkle left on the white cloth.

"It's useless!" Fanzi screamed.

At the same time, the head was separated and blood splattered from the cavity!

p.s: Sorry. This containment object is very simple, but also very unsolvable. Simply put, knowledge is power.
