Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 152 The murderer is a child?
"Hiss... This place is so cold and gloomy!"

Du Feng’s cultivation is limited and he cannot see the evil spirit.

But he could feel that the temperature of these graves was much lower than other places in the burial forest.

Even with his cultivation, he still needed to stimulate his blood and energy to make himself feel more comfortable.

"It's cold and gloomy because this place is filled with a lot of resentment."

After Liu Zhi bowed to Shang Lu, he pointed to the crushed bone residue and introduced:
"We have investigated and found that the resentment is coming from these bone residues, spreading to the surroundings and seeping into the ground. Such a strong resentment is really rare, and it appears in these rotten old corpses..."

Shang Lu, Du Feng and others looked in the direction Liu Zhi pointed.

Not only did we see bone fragments all over the ground, but we also saw several skulls covered with rotten flesh, propped up by branches and inserted next to the tombstone on the grave.

The mouths of these skulls were pinched open for a malicious look, revealing creepy smiles.

Du Feng wanted to take a breath, but he was afraid that there was bone residue and powder floating around and he would suck it in all at once.

He quickly covered his nose and mouth, and said in a muffled voice: "Digging up graves and exposing corpses. No, this is more than exposing corpses, they also crushed the corpses into slag. How big is the hatred? No wonder these corpses are full of resentment. They are cut into pieces even after death. It would be strange if they didn't resent it!"

He turned around and looked at Liu Zhi, and asked, "Old Liu, have you found out who did this?"

"No."

Liu Zhi shook his head.

"Once we discovered the situation here, we immediately started an investigation and asked a lot of people indirectly, but none of them knew the situation. We also asked about the owners of the graves, but they were all ordinary people, and there was no way there would be any valuable treasures in their graves."

"We think this matter is very strange, and it is very likely related to the tomb-opening spies of the State of Chu, so we sent someone to report it to you, sir."

Feng Nan took over Liu Zhi's words.

"Sir, we judge that the people who dug up the graves and destroyed the bodies will come again."

"How to say?"

"We found several half-dug graves in the burial forest. Judging from the traces at the scene, they were all newly dug, but were forced to stop for some reason. So we judge that the people who dug the graves and destroyed the bodies are likely to come again."

After reporting the situation, Feng Nan took Shang Lu to see the graves that had not yet been excavated.

Judging from the traces at the scene, it is indeed very new.

Shang Lu even judged that it was most likely excavated last night.

Because there are still some fresh traces of fire next to the cemetery.

Most likely they were left by gravediggers for lighting.

In addition, Shanglu also saw some footprints on the ground.

These footprints are not only small but also shallow, and do not seem to be left by an adult.

"Are the ones digging up the graves and destroying the bodies a group of children?" Shang Lu guessed.

But what kind of child could do such a thing?

But Shang Lu was certain of one thing. Judging from the traces here, the people who dug up the graves and destroyed the bodies would probably come back again.

While Shang Lu was observing the surrounding situation, Feng Nan raised his hand and pointed at a tree nearby.

"Sir, I have placed an egg on the tree with a wooden kite to monitor this place at all times."

Shang Lu looked towards the tree he pointed to. Even with excellent eyesight, it took him some time to search before he saw a simple bird's nest on a branch.

There is a wooden egg in the nest.

The simulation effect is really good.

Even for the Chinese prickly ash, it would be difficult to discover a wooden egg on a tree without being reminded.

"Set up a few more traps to capture people around, and activate them when needed, and then everyone exit the burial forest."

Shang Lu planned to wait outside the burial forest to prevent those who were digging graves and destroying corpses from coming here and noticing anything.

Although the footprints left at the scene looked like the work of a group of children, we could not rule out the possibility that they were a trick or the footprints of some monsters. Some monsters were the size of children and were very sensitive to the breath of living people. If they stayed in the burial forest, they would be easily exposed.

Because places like burial forests are filled with extremely yin energy, and they are people with strong blood.

No matter how well they hid in the burial forest, they were like fireflies in the darkness, bright and outstanding.

Unless there is some special means of concealing one's aura, it is difficult to conceal.

Feng Nan nodded and accepted the order. As an old scout, setting traps was something he was very good at.

The only troublesome thing is that Shang Lu requires these traps to be activated manually when needed, to avoid being triggered prematurely by people digging graves and destroying corpses, which would alert the enemy.

Fortunately, Feng Nan also has a solution.

He looked around and finally set traps with the help of the surrounding big trees and left a wooden kite.

It can monitor from the air and also activate traps in time when necessary.

After setting the trap, Feng Nanfang, Shang Lu and others left the burial forest together.

They also carefully swept away traces of footprints, horse hoof prints, etc.

This saved Sanniang, who was helping to clean up the aftermath, a lot of trouble. She only needed to wipe out the remaining aura of everyone.

After leaving the burial forest, Shang Lu asked Feng Nan to place a few wooden eggs around the forest to monitor the situation around.

They still did not enter the nearby Yunxi Town, but found an abandoned temple ten miles away from the burial forest and took shelter temporarily.

The location of this deserted temple is very good, far enough away from the burial forest that even if the people who dig up graves and destroy corpses are careful and do some reconnaissance before taking action, they would not go so far.

Even if they really came to investigate, Shang Lu and his men would be able to detect them in time and move away thanks to the wooden eggs and wooden kites left around the burial forest.

But they had official horses, and they could reach the ten-mile distance in a moment.

The statue in the deserted temple was damaged, and it was unknown which god it was enshrined in. Shang Lu looked around but did not burn incense.

If you burn incense randomly in an abandoned temple like this, you will easily get into trouble with some dirty things.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

The sun went down and night fell, but the burial forest was still quiet. Nothing happened and no one showed up.

Shang Lu was not in a hurry. He practiced hard in the deserted temple and refined the bone marrow in his left hand.

Feng Nan, Liu Zhi and Du Feng kept staring at the bronze mirror, paying attention to the images transmitted back by the wooden kite and the wooden egg, fearing that there would be any mistakes.

After waiting for a long time, the bronze mirrors were all black and there was nothing on them.

Du Feng couldn't wait any longer, so during Shang Lu's practice, he suggested sending a few people to take a look.

Just as Shang Lu was about to refuse, he heard Liu Zhi shout, "Sir, something's wrong!"

Shang Lu and Du Feng immediately walked over quickly and saw a flash of fire in one of the bronze mirrors.

Feng Nan turned around and reported, "Sir, the one who discovered the fire was Mudan, who was facing the direction of Yunxi Town. Do you want me to send the wooden kite to fly closer to take a look?"

"Okay." Shang Lu nodded in agreement, "Let the wooden kite fly higher so it won't be discovered."

"I understand!" Feng Nan replied.

He picked up a bronze mirror, took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, bit his fingertips, and dripped blood on it.

Then he tore the talisman paper into two halves, stuck one half on his forehead and the other half on the bronze mirror.

Then he closed his eyes, and through the talisman paper and bronze mirror, he contacted the wooden kite hovering over the burial forest and controlled it to fly towards the fire.

Soon, everyone saw a person holding a torch and walking towards the burial forest in the bronze mirror held by Feng Nan.

They are short and have young faces.

They really are a group of childish children!
