Chapter 534 Haunted
"Sir, there are families secretly watching our people."
In a hidden place, several masked figures are gathering there.
After hearing the report from one of them, the leading man uttered a sound of surprise:
"Were they discovered so soon? Which family? Gongyang family?"
The person who reported shook his head:
"It is a medium-sized family called Chen family of Luanzangshan. According to our people's inquiries, it took only about ten years for the Chen family to develop from an unknown small family to the present. It is said that there are several inner-level warriors in the family now. Yong'an City is under the jurisdiction of this family. The warriors sent to this city by the alliance in recent days were discovered by this family."
"Oh?"
Hearing the report from the people below, the leading man uttered a sound of surprise, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Someone below quickly spoke up:
"Sir, this city is remote, the Chen family is not strong, and is quite low-key. There are no high-level warriors in the family who control the Qi realm, and it seems that they have no connection with those upper-class families. Our alliance has just entered this place, why not secretly wipe out the Chen family and develop it into our alliance's base?"
As soon as this was said, the other two people on the side also echoed:
"This method is very good."
"I think it is feasible."
The leading man shook his head slowly after hearing this:
"Not for the time being, don't forget the purpose of our coming this time, and the current situation here is a great opportunity for our alliance to take action. We must not alert the enemy and lose the big picture because of the small."
The people below also nodded slightly after hearing this.
"Sir, what about the Chen family? How to deal with it?"
"Don't pay attention to it. Since they have not made any other moves, I think they don't know about our existence. Everything is the same as before. Let the people below be smarter."
"Understood!"
As the figures of several people disappeared, the place soon returned to silence.
…
"Did you sleep well last night?"
In Changliu Village, Chen Qinghe, who walked out of the wooden house, soon met the village chief of Changliu Village.
Facing the village chief's question, Chen Qinghe said:
"Thank you for your concern, everything was fine last night, but I accidentally twisted my waist when I got up last night. I'm afraid I can't travel in the next few days, alas."
After saying that, Chen Qinghe sighed.
The village chief was slightly stunned when he saw Chen Qinghe holding his waist, but then he smiled and said:
"What's the harm? If you don't mind, you can stay in my Changliu Village in the next few days."
"Thank you, village chief. I'm Huang He. May I know your surname?"
"My surname is Zhao, and everyone in my Changliu Village has this surname."
"I'll bother you in the next few days."
After seeing the village chief leave, Chen Qinghe looked around and chuckled.
Since the Wu family didn't want him to stay here, he would stay here. He wanted to see what the Wu family was doing.
Then Chen Qinghe stayed in Changliu Village. While observing the villagers, he also practiced several fighting skills of the Xuehe Sect.
However, according to his second uncle, if he wanted to take these fighting skills out, he had to practice them to perfection, which was too difficult.
You know, even the family's current Taizu Changquan, many clansmen are only in the stage of great success, not yet perfect.
It seems that there is an invisible gap between great success and perfection in fighting skills, even he doesn't have much understanding.
But he heard that Qingmeng has some unique understanding and progress in this fighting skill. After Qingmeng comes out of retreat, he can communicate with him.
After Chen Qinghe observed for two days, he didn't find much.
But he can be sure that the Wu family is hiding in the village, but if he is intentionally hiding, Chen Qinghe will find it difficult to distinguish in a short time.
But just as Chen Qinghe was practicing his fighting skills, there was a sudden sound of piled firewood falling outside the courtyard.
Chen Qinghe jumped out upon hearing the noise and soon saw the child standing behind the pile of firewood and watching him practicing his fighting skills.
Chen Qinghe had already found out everything about the village in the past two days.
The child was an orphan in the village named Zhao Xiaohu, who usually lived with the village chief.
After seeing that he was discovered, Zhao Xiaohu had a trace of shame on his face, but he turned to stare at Chen Qinghe and said:
"You are obviously a warrior, why did you lie to me, a child of seven or eight years old."
Chen Qinghe laughed dumbly and could only explain:
"It is inconvenient to be away from home."
"You are so concerned about whether I am a warrior, I think you must have something to ask for, right? Why not tell me."
Zhao Xiaohu was surprised after hearing this:
"How did you know?"
Chen Qinghe smiled but did not say anything. He was not a fool. He had visited the village these two days and found some clues. Now he might as well find out the reason from Zhao Xiaohu in front of him.
In the face of Chen Qinghe's smile, Zhao Xiaohu quickly said:
"Brother Huanghe, I'm telling you this secretly, don't let the village chief know."
"There's a ghost in our village!"
I thought this would shock Chen Qinghe, but Chen Qinghe looked calm after hearing it, which made Zhao Xiaohu surprised:
"Aren't you afraid? There's a ghost!"
While speaking, Zhao Xiaohu didn't forget to gesture and make a face.
Chen Qinghe was speechless when he saw this. There were ghosts everywhere in the tribe, what was there to be afraid of.
However, Zhao Xiaohu's words also made Chen Qinghe a little curious. In this martial fairy world, are there souls?
After Chen Qinghe's detailed questioning, Zhao Xiaohu quickly told him about the strange things that happened in the village recently.
For example, there have been some miserable cries in the village recently, and the neighbor's aunt often saw bright red bloody handprints on her windows. There are also domestic animals raised in the village that wail for no reason in the middle of the night, but when the villagers went to check, they found nothing.
"Why didn't I see it?"
Chen Qinghe asked in his heart, and Zhao Xiaohu explained after hearing it:
"These things don't happen every day, basically every few days, and many people in the village are tortured by this matter. It seems that the deaths of several villagers are also related to this matter."
After hearing this, Chen Qinghe fell into deep thought, and then whispered a few words in Zhao Xiaohu's ear.
Zhao Xiaohu showed fear after hearing this, and asked worriedly:
"Can I do it?"
Chen Qinghe smiled faintly:
"You don't even have this little courage? How can you protect the safety of the village in the future?"
Zhao Xiaohu showed determination:
"Okay, I promise you!"
"Everything is for the village!"
Seeing that Zhao Xiaohu was easily aroused to have courage, Chen Qinghe laughed dumbly.
However, he was also quite curious about the ghost in the village, and he also wanted to see what the ghost in the village was.
As night fell, the villagers of Changliu Village went to rest early. The village was silent, and only the dim moonlight illuminated the scene in the village.
