Mo Li quickly ran towards the direction of the launch of the silver needles. Looking around, but he did not see anyone.
It seemed that this people’s Kungfu was better than him. This man had been staying outside to observe everything inside the dilapidated temple, but he had not been aware of this man. It seemed that the identity of the backstage manipulator of this matter couldn’t be underestimated!
At this time, it was getting late. He had no way but to come back first.
In the inn, there were one master and one servant.
“How was it?”
“They were killed before I could get more clues, Marquis Shuo.”
“Dead?” Shuo Ling frowned tightly. At this time, this was the only clue they knew about the mysterious village.
Mo Li explained the situation clearly at that time.
Suddenly he thought of the situation when they were killed, and then he said to Shuo Ling, “However, both of them were killed when they said the word ‘Xiling’.”
“Xiling? Are you sure?”
Mo Li nodded, “I’m sure.”
“It’s late. Go to have a rest first.”
After Mo Li left, Shuo Ling thought, Xiling? If it was really done by the people of Xiling, it was not as simple as missing a few people.
Just thinking about it, Shuo Ling felt intermittent pain from the abdomen. Shuo Ling had no way but to walk to the bed and lie down. But the pain didn’t disappear. So, he tossed and turned restlessly until dawn, and the pain disappeared.
He was woken up by the waiter in the hotel before he could sleep an hour.
Mo Li, who lived nearby, heard the voice, so he got up to check. Seeing Sihe was knocking on the door, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Sir, someone is looking for this young master outside.” Sihe replied.
Hearing what Sihe said, Shuo Ling knew what happened. Opening his eyes, he got up and adjusted his clothes slightly. He opened the door and said to Sihe, “I knew it. Let this man wait for a moment.”
“Okay, I’ll tell this man.” Sihe ran out while saying.
Mo Li followed Shuo Ling into the room and closed the door.
After thinking for a moment, Shuo Ling said to Mo Li, “There’s something you need to do next.”.
“Just order me.” Mo Li said.
He talked to Mo Li about the whole story, “Yesterday, I had contacted the local government. Today, I will go to the village of god’s temple to find out. Because the people in the village have seen me, it’s inconvenient for me to investigate. So, you go instead of me.”
“Did Marquis go into the village? Are the two the people of that village yesterday?” Mo Li asked with a surprised expression on his face.
Seeing Marquis Shuo nodded, Mo Li only figured out what happened yesterday. No wonder they were tailed as soon as they arrived in Elysium City. Hearing the explanation of Marquis Shuo, he knew the reason clearly.
Shuo Ling also briefly told Mo Li what happened that night, asking him to pay more attention to the villagers’ expressions and observing whether there was something different. He should also pay attention to the road between the big altar and the village.
Mo Li remembered all before going out of the room.
After last night, Shuo Ling felt that he was in a bad state, so he went back to bed and slept.
Mo Li followed He Zhang to the entrance of the village of god’s temple. He saw an old man who was over his sixtieth with a white beard greeting them. Some villagers were standing behind him.
The old man came to them and said with a smile, “From a distance, I saw my Lord coming here, so I called the villagers here to wait for you. It’s really a great honor for us to see you coming here. Others also think so, Right?”
While saying, the old man turned around and said to the villagers behind him.
Looking at He Zhang, the villagers said at the same time, “We are very happy that my Lord can come to our village.”
“Are you the clan chief Gu? Recently, there are many things in the frontier area, so I want to console the villagers in every village. Start with your village!” He Zhang said to the old man.
But at this time, he was very confused in his heart and felt very strange. This thing was carried out in secret. Why did these villagers seem to wait for him specially?
Hearing what He Zhang said, the clan chief Gu nodded and said, “Thank my Lord. it’s really a blessing for us living in the frontier area!”
Then the clan chief Gu turned to the villagers behind him and said, “Hurry up to make way for his Lord. Welcome to the village.”
“My Lord, please.” The clan chief Gu made a please gesture to He Zhang.
Standing nearby, Mo Li always felt that these villagers were a little strange. Although they talked and laughed, he still felt that there was something wrong.
He didn’t want to think about this for the time being. He would follow them to come to the village first and had a look.
Along the way, the clan chief Gu had always been greeting with He Zhang.
Following He Zhang, Mo Li observed the topography of the village while walking. He felt that most of these roads had to go around. He couldn’t help being puzzled in his heart.
After walking around, he didn’t see a big altar that Marquis Shuo said in this village. Could it be that what Marquis Shuo talked about was not the village of god’s temple?
At this time, He Zhang winked at Mo Li behind him, indicating if they could leave.
Seeing Mo Li nodded, He Zhang understood and turned to the old man and said, “Under the leadership of the clan chief Gu, the village is really different from other villages. Then I will go to other villages to have a look. I will not disturb you.”
“My Lord is too kind. It’s our blessing that you can come to cares about us. Everyone agrees with my words, right?” The clan chief Gu said to He Zhang again.
The villagers behind him echoed one after another.
At this time, Mo Li observed the villagers again, and finally knew something strange. Although some of the villagers were still talking and laughing, and were not as dully as Marquis Shuo said, looking carefully, their eyes were glassy.
When he was back to the inn, Shuo Ling had already been awake. Mo Li pushed the door open.
“How is it?” Hearing the voice, Shuo Ling asked.
Mo Li replied, “Marquis Shuo, the road in this village is really unusual, but after entering the village, I didn’t see a big altar.”
“Oh?” At this time, Shuo Ling was puzzled. Such a big altar should not be invisible. Could it be that the villagers had taken them into the maze?
Seeing this, Mo Li continued, “But this village is really weird. Before we got to the village, the clan chief in the village had already led the villagers to wait at the entrance of the village. Even the Lord was surprised!”
“Did you find something strange about the villagers?” Shuo Ling asked again.
Mo Li shook his head. After a moment, he said, “I’m not sure. These villagers were talking and laughing normally. But looking in detail, I found they were rigid.”
Hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned tightly. It seemed that his knitted brows could press a fly to die.
Just thinking about it, there was a sharp cramp in his abdomen, sweating on his forehead. These times, his symptom was getting worse.
Finding Shuo Ling’s difference, Mo Li hurried forward and asked, “Marquis Shuo, what’s the matter?”
“No problem, just have a rest.” Enduring abdominal pain with difficulty, Shuo Ling clenched his teeth and said a few words from his mouth.
Mo Li helped Shuo Ling to the bed. After a long time, the symptom was just alleviated. It was one more night that he slept with difficulty. Strangely, the symptom disappeared at dawn.
He couldn’t help thinking that maybe he was accidentally drugged with a legendary venomous insect by someone, and that night he saw the appearance of the villagers and listened to what Mo Li talked about the villagers, as if they were manipulated by someone.
It had long been said that there were people beyond the Great Wall who learned the skill of witchcraft, and they even created a sect. They were controlled by the king of witchcraft.
Thinking of this, he felt it necessary to visit the king.
He told Mo Li to stay and keep watch on the village. He ordered Mo Li not to act rashly!
Ordering all, he asked Mo Li to buy a fast horse. Then he went to the Witchcraft City alone to find Hou Shi, who was the king of witchcraft.
The Witchcraft City was built on the Jingshan Mountain. The people living in the city were all loyal worshippers of witchcraft. All the disciples who studied witchcraft must abide by the rules and regulations, and they were not allowed to do things that were against reason and nature. Once being found, they would be killed with lawful authority.
Inquiring all the way, he would arrive at Jingshan Mountain with no more than half a day’s journey. Seeing that the sky was going to darken and the horse had been running for a day, Shuo Ling decided to stop for a rest and let the horse rest.
In the middle of the night, Shuo Ling found something different around him. He opened his eyes and became alert.
At this time, the villagers who he saw that night was approaching him, as if to see their prey. Seeing this, Shuo Ling stood on tiptoe, flying up to leave the surrounding of these villagers. He ran away.
But these villagers followed him tightly and he couldn’t get rid of them. Shuo Ling had no way but to hit them. The villagers who were hit by him seemed not to be afraid of pain, so they stopped for a while and continued to chase after him.
At this time, Shuo Ling’s stomach began to ache again, and his forehead was full of sweat. He could not help shaking.
But the villagers still chased after him. Shuo Ling had no way but to clench his teeth and run forward.
After a few steps, Shuo Ling hurriedly stopped. There was a cliff in front of him. At this time, Shuo Ling was dizzy because of his stomachache. Seeing the villagers approaching step by step, he didn’t stand firmly and directly fell down the cliff.
It was already three days after Shuo Ling woke up. After waking up, Shuo Ling rubbed his head. Before he fell into a coma, he remembered that he was besieged by the villagers. At that time, he suffered from abdominal pain and could not bear it, so he fell down the cliff accidentally.
Now he moved and felt better. Did someone save him?
Thinking of this, Shuo Ling got out of bed and wanted to have a look.
He found something strange in the house.
He just wanted to look clearly. At this moment, he heard a sound outside the door, “Don’t touch it!”
Then this people pushed the door in.
Shuo Ling stopped his movements and turned to look at the people. He saw a man in a tight black gown. His long silver hair was tied highly, revealing a little evil feeling.
“Did it scare you? This was my newly-reared poisonous insect. If it touched your skin, it would get into your body quickly.” The person explained.
“Poisonous insect?” Shuo Ling looked puzzled. Who was this man in front of him? Or was he sent here by the villagers?
This person snorted, “You are very lucky. I happened to pass by and found a person floating in the water. I was in a good mood at that time, so I decided to save you.”
“Did you save me? I wonder if you could tell me where you live. I will reciprocate your kindness later!” Shuo Ling found that although this man showed a little evil feeling, through his observation, this man would not be the one who poisoned him.
At this time, Shuo Ling only saw he said eagerly, “There is no need to reciprocate me. I also don’t want to have a roundabout way of talking. Do you know who is responsible for the insect in your body?”
