Chapter 829: Successive Deaths

Luan Xiaoqing's cousin's home.

The old men were about to continue to salute Jiang Chen, but found that their bodies could not bend at all, as if they were being supported by someone.

The few people quickly looked up and found that Jiang Chen was looking at them with a smile.

"Old man, you should talk about the serious business first!"

Seeing this scene, the old men felt a little more awe of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's magical method seems to be even more powerful than the masters they have seen before!

Several old men looked at each other, but in the end they still did not insist on saluting.

Then, everyone sat down in the room.

Jiang Chen glanced at the old men and asked first.

"Old man, you should tell me the details first."

Hearing Jiang Chen's inquiry, Luan Xiaoqing's cousin recalled carefully before speaking.

"Master, in fact, since more than two months ago, strange events have occurred in our village one after another."

"Start more than two months ago?"

Jiang Chen and the other two looked at each other. Luan Xiaoqing's town found that the Cangsai Mountain was haunted, which started more than two months ago.

Luan Xiaoqing's cousin seemed to have not noticed the little movements of Jiang Chen and the other two, and continued to tell the story now.

"On one day more than two months ago, two young people in this village went up the mountain to collect herbs."

"There is nothing strange about going up the mountain to collect herbs, so they naturally did not attract everyone's attention."

"However, just the next morning, these two people appeared outside the village in a crazy way."

"They looked almost the same as the two people in the ancestral hall today, insane and nonsense..."

Luan Xiaoqing's cousin was still telling, but Jiang Chen and the other two knew what he was going to say next.

really.

Through Luan Xiaoqing's cousin's later story, Jiang Chen and the others learned that the situation in this village is similar to that in the small town where Luan Xiaoqing is located, and some people became crazy after spending the night in the mountain.

......

"Later, people in the village went crazy after spending the night on the mountain, so we didn't dare to go up the mountain anymore."

Uncle Luan Xiaoqing seemed to have thought of something terrifying and immediately said in horror.

"They all said... they all said they had seen a woman with red eyes."

Jiang Chen and the other two said in their hearts: "It's true."

After the old man finished speaking, Jiang Chen asked.

"Old man, those people who have had an accident are no longer in trouble now, right?"

"Yes." Another old man answered.

Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully and then fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the driver Xiao Liu seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Didn't you say no one has gone up the mountain since then?"

"What you said before, what's going on in succession of people dying?"

Hearing Xiao Liu's inquiry, an old man quickly explained.

"We really didn't dare to go up the mountain at that time, but some people were indeed dead.

At the beginning, the first deceased was an old man of ours in the village.

When he died, he looked nothing abnormal. At that time, we all thought he was about to die, so we dealt with his funeral normally.

However.

Just that night, something strange happened.

That night we parked the body in the ancestral hall, where his descendants stayed to keep the soul guarded, and planned to be buried the next day.

But.

When we arrived at the ancestral hall the next day, we found that all the guards had fallen asleep, and all the tablets worshipped in the ancestral hall fell to the ground in a mess.

Although we felt strange at that time, we found no clues after investigation.

In addition, this incident did not have much impact on us, so we didn't care about it and buried that person normally.

but.

Not long after that, another person died in the village, and his death was no different from the one before.

And just like before, on the night after his death, the guards in the ancestral hall also fell asleep, and all the tokens in the ancestral hall fell to the ground again.

Then, every once in a while, a person in the village would die, and the same thing would happen once.”

After the old man finished telling, he looked at Jiang Chen for help.

"Master, we all doubt that it was because we did something wrong, the souls of our ancestors came to punish us?"

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly and asked back.

"Old man, these people who died one after another had never been to the mountain before they died?"

"Yes, there are two old men in here, and they have never even left the village."

"You just said that every once in a while, someone dies. Is there any pattern between their death intervals?" Jiang Chen continued to ask.

"There is this, and at the beginning, one person will die every half a month."

The old man pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"However, it's only a few days since the last person died, but another one died in the early morning, which is the one you saw in the ancestral hall today."

"That's how it works!"

Jiang Chen felt a little confused for a moment. He originally thought that he had mastered the rules of harming the murderer behind the scenes, but what happened in this village negated all the guesses in his mind.

At this moment, several old men interrupted Jiang Chen's contemplation again.

"Master, what happened in our village is obviously a bit abnormal."

"We were also worried about how to find an expert to solve this problem, but you rushed over. So can you ask you to help us solve this problem?"

As if he was afraid that Jiang Chen would refuse, the old men said immediately.

"Master, please rest assured that although our place is just a small village, we will definitely give you the reward that will satisfy you as much as possible."

"It's not a matter of reward, but I have something important to do."

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, and then calculated the time of the competition he agreed with Zhang Fei in his mind.

Just when the old men thought Jiang Chen wanted to reject them, Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.

"Let me do this, I will stay tonight and help you guard the ancestral hall to see if you will find anything."

"If there is really something unclean, I will definitely help you solve it."

"But if nothing is found tonight, I will leave here tomorrow morning."

"But you can rest assured, I will contact someone to help you with this matter."

The old men were naturally very happy about Jiang Chen's statement. After thanking Jiang Chen, the few of them hurriedly left.

After several old men left, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought again.

All of his previous guesses were denied.
