I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 8: Concealing the truth
When the gong sounds, disaster is coming!
Everyone in Chenjia Village, from the white-haired elders to the toddlers, knew that once the gong was struck in the village, it meant someone had died.

When they heard that something strange had happened, many people ran out of their houses in fear.

It was mainly the young and old people in the village, while the women and children basically hid in their homes in fear.

"Seventh Uncle, what happened?"

Someone timidly stopped the old farmer who was beating the gong and asked him.

The old farmer said anxiously: "Everyone, go to the entrance of the mountain road and have a look. I don't know whose two people have encountered ghosts."

Two people?
Everyone was horrified and quickly ran towards the mountain trail entrance.

"Mom, I'm going to go out and take a look."

Hearing the noise outside, Zhang Yuan said to his mother, "I'll be back soon."

Zhang's mother was worried: "Be careful."

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan nodded, then went out and caught up with the crowd of people watching the excitement.

Many villagers trotted all the way to the entrance of the mountain path and immediately saw the dried corpse on the ground.

By this time, it was already dark. The two corpses looked particularly terrifying, and an eerie aura spread silently around them.

It really is a prank!

Everyone was horrified and looked at each other, seeing fear and panic in each other's eyes.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Someone else came over, carrying a torch for lighting.

The servants of Mr. Chen's family came, the legal advisor Zhangtou also came, and even the village chief of Chenjia Village came!

The head of the Zhang master had a gloomy expression on his face. He glanced at the mummy on the ground and said, "Check it out."

The few servants he brought with him looked at each other and did not dare to go forward to check.

When it comes to weird things, there is no ordinary person who is not afraid!

Seeing that no one listened to his words, Master Zhang became angry and pointed at a servant and shouted, "You go!"

The other party had no choice but to go forward and investigate.

As a result, as soon as his hand touched a mummy, the latter's dried body suddenly split into several pieces.

The servant was almost scared to death.

But some things hidden in the mummy's arms also fell out.

A servant cried out, "Guardian Sun?"

He recognized one of the bronze tokens as the token held by Guardian Sun!

There are only two guards in Mr. Chen's house, both of whom are high-level warriors. The other one is currently in the old house in the village.

So this mummy must be Guardian Sun without a doubt!
"Is this Chen San?"

At this time, a sharp-eyed villager also recognized another mummy: "Three fingers on the left hand, it's definitely him!"

As one of the few ruffians in the village, Chen San was known to all the villagers present.

As everyone knows, this guy cheated in gambling a few years ago and had two of his fingers chopped off by the other party.

Right on the left hand!

Now the identities of the two mummies have been basically confirmed.

But the question is, how could a guard of the Chen family and an idle man in the village be killed in a collision with a monster at the entrance of a mountain road at the same time?
No one knows the answer!
The night wind blew in from the distant mountains, causing the flames of the torches to flicker and cast distorted shadows.

Many people shuddered.

The old village chief said in a deep voice: "It's dark now. It's not safe here. Take them back to the village first."

The village chief had a high reputation in Chenjia Village. With the Zhangtou lawyer also speaking, several villagers suppressed their fear and nausea and packed up the corpses on the ground and took them away.

When everyone returned to the village and gathered in front of the ancestral hall, they finally felt a lot more at ease.

There are mysteries hidden deep in the mountains. For thousands of years, in remote mountain villages like Chenjia Village, generations of villagers have relied on the protection of the ancestral hall to survive and live in peace.

Ordinary strange things will not approach the village protected by the ancestral temple. However, as long as the villagers leave the scope of the village, they will not be protected, so strange things will happen.

Generally speaking, the area around the village is relatively safe.

But this time, the place where Sun Huyuan and Chen San were killed was not far from the village, which made people feel scared.

Is there something scary and strange happening near Chenjia Village?
“May our ancestors bless you!”

Everyone burned incense at the tablets of their ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall and prayed devoutly for their ancestors' protection.

The lawyer Zhangtou and the servants checked the body of Guardian Sun again, but they could not find anything.

So, at the suggestion of the old village chief, his body, along with his clothes and personal belongings, were placed in the fire pit and burned into ashes.

In this way, even if there is anything evil, it will be burned!
Chen San was burned to ashes.

Zhang Yuan squeezed into the crowd and witnessed the entire process.

Facts have proved that Zhang Yuan's decision to fake the strange incident through sacrifice was correct.

First of all, no one would suspect him and think that he killed Huyuan Sun and Chen San.

Secondly, this would undoubtedly create a huge obstacle for Mr. Chen, who had just moved to Chenjia Village, and would make him suspicious and unable to sleep or eat.

In this way, as an outsider, Zhang Yuan's pressure in the village can be temporarily reduced.

Conceal the truth and kill two birds with one stone!
As for scaring other innocent villagers, Zhang Yuan could only say sorry in his heart.

Just now he heard some villagers talking about how Chen San was also included in the list of people to perform corvée labor.

This guy obviously took a risk in order to join the army, but was killed by Zhang Yuan!

As for why Guardian Sun also appeared at the entrance of the mountain road, it is possible that he was targeting Chen San, or he was targeting Zhang Yuan, but there is no way of knowing the answer.

As the night deepened, the villagers in front of the ancestral hall dispersed and went home.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Zhang Yuan also returned to his home and briefly told his mother what had happened.

This made Zhang's mother take out some incense and light three sticks in front of Zhang's father's tablet.

I pray that my late husband’s spirit in heaven will protect Zhang Yuan and keep her safe!
Zhang Yuan was listening at the side, and was silently moved.

After Zhang's mother fell asleep, he opened the Shenchao panel in his room.

[Host: Zhang Yuan]

[God's Nest: Level 1 (15%)]

[Host: Level 1 Black Giant Ant (12%)/2 times Strength]

[Qi and blood: 23/75]

[Source Quality: 3.7]

The evolution degree of the first host of the God's Nest, the black giant ant, has increased from 1% to 12%, which is not slow.

But Zhang Yuan was not satisfied at all, and without hesitation he put all the source material into the nest again.

The more source material you put in, the faster the host will grow.

Moreover, the investment in source quality will not be wasted, and it can continue to help evolution after upgrading.

Zhang Yuan now urgently needs to improve his strength, the stronger the better!
In today's encounter, Zhang Yuan certainly won by chance.

But his luck can't be so good every time.

Therefore, one’s own strength is the most important!
After closing the panel, Zhang Yuan took out a leather bag from under the bed.

Then take out the book inside.

Rock Posture!

On the small table beside the bed, an oil lamp was emitting a dim light, reflecting Zhang Yuan's sparkling eyes.

It’s like a hungry glutton seeing delicious food!
