Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 267 Destroy the Village
"What?" Uncle Jiu was shocked to hear that the zombie transformed by Mr. Ren had a bit of intelligence.

The armored zombies possess intelligence, which is quite astonishing. Zombies possess intelligence, which allows them to hide and seek safety, avoiding danger and becoming difficult to find.

At this moment, Awei ran in from outside, his face full of panic, "Meng Village has been destroyed!"

Uncle Jiu didn't even bother with breakfast. He stood up in shock and said, "Meng Village was wiped out? How is that possible!"

"Uncle Jiu, it's true. I took people to investigate. From children to centenarians, not a single person in Meng Village escaped. The entire village was wiped out! The wounds are similar to my cousin's. Could it be that zombies are causing trouble?"

Awei's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.

So many people died this time, it was horrifying. If he couldn't solve this case, he wouldn't even think about being the captain. But thinking of the zombie that his cousin's husband turned into last night, he trembled all over.

Uncle Jiu frowned. To slaughter hundreds of people in one night, only a demon could do that, apart from bandits...

He immediately stood up and said, "Take me to see the deceased."

Uncle Jiu has a hunch that the evil things might be related to Old Master Ren.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a big mess to happen just after the old man was chased away.

Yunque, Tingting and Awei followed Uncle Jiu out.

Awei brought six or seven members of the security team, and Tingting also brought a dozen servants. The group left the Ren Mansion in a mighty manner.

Everyone came to Mengcun.

The village is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with lush vegetation. The scenery is quite nice, but the quiet village seems a bit eerie and desolate.

At the entrance of the village, there is an open space as big as two football fields, covered with pale white cloth, adding a touch of sadness to the eerie village.

When everyone got closer, the stench of corpses mixed with the fragrance of flowers around them hit their noses, and it was extremely foul.

Beneath the white cloth, there were piles of corpses.

More than a hundred dead bodies were spread out before their eyes. This horrifying scene made all the young men feel a little bit afraid.

Ren Tingting was so scared that she hid behind Yunque, revealing her little head with eyes full of fear and pity.

A Wei was a little frightened, but after calming himself down, he keenly sensed something was wrong. "Didn't they say all the villagers died last night? How come all the bodies are stinking after just one night?"

After saying that, everyone turned their attention to a thin young man in the security team.

He is a member of the security team and is from Mengcun. He was on night duty in the town last night and escaped a disaster. He was the first to discover the Mengcun Massacre.

Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Wang Ergou suddenly panicked.

He didn't want people to say that he was responsible for the village incident, otherwise he would not have enough lives to live on.

He was about to explain to Awei when Uncle Jiu, who had been motionless, suddenly moved. When Uncle Jiu moved, everyone looked at him.

I saw Uncle Jiu walking to a corpse.

Bend down and lift the cloth.

A purple, fat face appeared in front of Uncle Jiu.

The villagers' deaths were horrific, their facial features were frightened and hideous, and their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen something terrifying before they died.

Uncle Jiu turned his head slowly, and sure enough, he saw a dark tooth mark on his neck, with a little dried blood next to the tooth mark, which was very conspicuous.

Seeing this scene, his face suddenly became gloomy. He checked several bodies in succession and found the same thing.

It's confirmed, it has nothing to do with horse thieves, it's just zombies causing trouble...

Uncle Jiu immediately mobilized his Taoist magic and attached it to his eyes, and the entire world changed in his eyes.

Wisps of faint corpse qi, invisible to the naked eye, rose from each corpse, swirling in the air before eventually condensing into a cloud of corpse qi that obscured the sky, blocking out the sun. Even the high-hanging sun couldn't burn it out or penetrate it. It looked incredibly eerie.

"It has nothing to do with him. These people were indeed killed by evil spirits. Their death was quite unusual, so the stench of corpses spread faster."

Uncle Jiu slowly put away his magic, explained it to Wang Ergou, and then said calmly: "Everyone go collect some firewood, these hundreds of corpses must be burned!"

If these corpses are not dealt with, they will turn into zombies at night!
A group of young men just started looking for firewood, and Uncle Jiu prepared to go to the village to take a look.

He immediately said, "You guys clean up these bodies, I'll go into the village and investigate."

Everyone nodded and watched Uncle Jiu disappear at the entrance of the village.

The residents of Mengcun are relatively scattered between each household, so there are no roads in the village, only a bluestone path.

Uncle Jiu walked on the path and headed towards the ancestral hall according to the instructions on the map.

"This village is really big. It took me five or six minutes to walk from the village entrance to here."

Looking up at the plaque on the door, with the five big characters "Mengcun Ancestral Hall", Uncle Jiu sighed.

But then his face froze and a flash of inspiration came into his mind.

Village...

Big!
Uncle Jiu's face suddenly darkened.

He had vaguely sensed something was wrong before, and now he knew where it was!

Mengcun Village is quite large, with countless exits. Zombies are not like ghosts that appear and disappear without a trace and hurt people invisibly.

Therefore, when zombies harm people, they can easily alarm others. For a scattered village like Mengcun, it is impossible for a single zombie to destroy the entire village.

More or less people will escape.

There is definitely a culprit behind this!

Uncle Jiu frowned tightly. Since ancient times, there has been good and there has been evil. In addition to the righteous cultivators in the world of cultivation, there are also evil cultivators. Many of the evil cultivators will do anything to become stronger.

Raising ghosts to kill people and driving corpses to suck blood is common.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the ancestral hall. After investigating, he found no clues other than that there was a mastermind behind the incident, so Uncle Jiu returned to the village entrance.

Under Awei's command, a four-meter-high and four-meter-long incineration platform was quickly set up.

After carrying a few corpses, Uncle Jiu reached into his arms and covered them halfway, and the next moment, a fire talisman appeared in his hand.

"boom!"

With a wave of his hand, he input spiritual power into the talisman, and a fireball as big as his head appeared on the talisman. Uncle Jiu just threw it casually, and the incineration platform was instantly ignited with a raging fire.

"Hiss! Such a small talisman can actually emit such a huge fireball..."

"As expected of Uncle Nine!"

The scorching flames made everyone feel hot, and the faces of the young and strong men around were filled with horror, and they were obviously stunned.

Looking at the corpses one after another burned to ashes, Uncle Jiu was speechless for a moment.

In this world full of evil and chaos, he had seen dead people before, but this was the first time he had seen more than 400 corpses piled up in front of him.

Looking around at the green mountains, clear waters, and quiet villages, Uncle Jiu clenched his fists.

Uncle Jiu thought for a moment and said to Skylark, "Chief Skylark, I suspect it's not just zombies causing trouble, there may also be evil cultivators. I hope you can lend me a hand when the time comes. I owe you a favor."
