Martial Cultivator Chapter 183: The Hanged Devil in Red
"Sir, the Black Mountain God requires offerings every three years.
In a village with dozens or hundreds of households, the person selected by it is only one out of a hundred.
Before being selected, didn’t the family of the common woman feel that such a thing was not their turn? That's why I haven't moved out of here.
Folk women have never witnessed their children being abducted by the Black Mountain God. Anyone chosen by the Black Mountain God will put their children in baskets and put them in the woodshed on the night of the seventeenth day of the winter lunar month.
At dawn the next day, the children are often nowhere to be seen.
Only one bag of gold, silver and copper coins was left.
Anyone who is unwilling to give up their children and fails to follow this rule will often die in the next two or three nights!
This is what a civilian woman saw with her own eyes! ”
The woman sobbed and answered Chen Liu's questions in detail.
He was thinking, tapping his fingers on the table, lost in thought.
If what the woman said is true, then the 'demon' who abducted the children in this case acted in a very orderly manner. He knew very well the principle of fishing from the lake, so he only selected children from one family in Xiuquan Village every three years and took them away. .
In addition, some gold, silver and copper coins will be placed in the home where the child was taken away.
Some poor people may also feel that it is a blessing for their children to be taken away by the Black Mountain God, and it is even more of a good thing that they have lost gold and silver.
So this kind of thing will not be spread.
As a result, there have never been any rumors of mountain gods taking children as offerings within a hundred miles.
And it seems that the 'demon' behind it is too smart.
Perhaps it is not the work of demons at all, but a man-made disaster. Only humans can grasp the minds of the people and run this matter without leakage for more than ten years!
Chen Liu thought carefully and asked the woman again: "Does this kind of sacrifice to the Black Mountain God also happen in other surrounding villages?"
"Yes. Every three years, children are picked up from every village within a hundred miles." The woman replied.
Big case!
Jinxipu Town is close to Quping County. Although Quping is a county, it is located between the north and south counties. It has excellent transportation location and has always been extremely prosperous, no less than Yizhou City!
Surrounding Quping County, there are at least twenty or thirty villages within a hundred miles.
Twenty or thirty children from twenty to thirty villages will be robbed every three years!
Chen Liu tensed up after hearing this, and immediately realized that the case involved a wide range of things, and the characters or demons involved behind it were by no means something he could resist.
He summoned Shen Qing, the palace guard who was accompanying him, and said to him: "Shen Qing, while it's not completely dark yet, ride my horse back to Shenhua Mansion and inform the supervisor about this matter. Sir!
Just tell him that there is a major case involved here.
With our own strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to completely solve this problem.
Go quickly!
Don't care about horsepower! ”
"Yes!"
Although Shen Qing still hadn't figured out what the significance of this matter was, he saw the seriousness on the head teacher's face and put away his contempt. After answering the order in a deep voice, he turned around and left the room.
"Avoid the eyes and ears of other people in the village, and don't let anyone discover you!" Chen Liu followed closely and gave another instruction.
If the Black Mountain God does not receive the sacrifice, the family that has not offered the sacrifice will suffer.
But people in a village may also be disturbed by this.
So, at this time, the entire Xiuquan Village does not want this woman's children to be rescued tonight.
Keeping this news confidential and not leaking it becomes especially important at this time!
Watch Shen Qing leave.
Chen Liu glanced at the woman's children, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law, do you have a larger basket at home?"
"Yes, yes!" Before the woman could speak, her husband understood what Chen Liu was thinking and nodded quickly, "A few days ago, I made up a few new ones that can almost fit me in. Basket."
At that time, the strong man apparently had the idea of taking his children as sacrifices to the Black Mountain God.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made such a big basket.
"Okay, tonight a few of us will settle in the woodshed and hide in the baskets to see what kind of monsters dare to come and kidnap the children." Chen Liu said decisively.
The strong man looked grateful and said, "I'm going with a few adults so I can take care of you!"
"Brother, I still need you to take care of my wife and children. You just need to take care of the children tonight." Chen Liu waved his hand and refused.
This person looks strong now, but he obviously has no martial arts skills.
If you encounter a monster by then, he will become a liability because he has no experience in fighting.
After some arrangements.
Chen Liu and his party ate some dry food and tea provided by the woman's family. When it got dark, they went to the woodshed, put on the baskets, and waited quietly in the woodshed.
……
The night is getting darker.
In the firewood shed, everyone held their breaths, and the mice were picking out firewood in the corner, and the sounds of chirping were clearly visible.
Chen Liu moved his somewhat numb feet slightly, thinking to himself that the last time he 'sit back and wait' like this was when he and the Inspector were investigating the death case in the inn.
At that time, I had to rely on Mr. Xiao Wang for everything. If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't have been killed on the spot after being caught by the demon.
I am afraid that I have already met the King of Hell at this time.
The months flew by.
Now I am able to lead a team on my own to handle a major case involving demons.
The changes in the world are indeed wonderful.
He smiled silently and looked at the woodshed door through the gap in the basket. The door did not change, and no movement was heard from the outside world.
A beam of dim blue moonlight passed through the gap in the door panel that had not been nailed shut, and fell into the open space behind the door, forming a narrow and straight vertical line.
Chen Liu looked at the vertical mark-like light on the ground for a long time.
I saw it suddenly turn dark.
It seemed that most of it was covered instantly by something.
Huh?
Seeing this scene, Chen Liu frowned slightly.
I reacted immediately in the next moment!
The 'people' who came to take away the offerings are here!
His mind was extremely tense for a moment, and his palm silently grasped the handle of the waist knife.
Squeak——
As a gust of cold wind blew by, the woodshed door slowly opened.
Under the gloomy moonlight, look for Shuyuanwｗw.zhaoshuyuan． ｃcomA hanging figure appeared at the door.
'Her' feet were pointing upward, and it was like there were two invisible ropes hanging from her ankles in the virtual space, preventing 'her' head from hitting the ground.
The whole body was tightly wrapped in a red dress, and the black hair fell down.
Chen Liu could see her face clearly.
On its rather standard oval face, there are three pairs of eyes from the forehead down, each pair of eyes is blood red.
There is a mouth on the chin, and two fangs are protruding from the mouth, slowly moving!
Demon!
Seeing the dignity of the visitor, Chen Liuyaneng still didn’t understand what the other person was!
His scalp instantly became numb and he stared closely at the figure of the demon in red.
Look at him stepping on the door with both feet and stepping into the door very quickly.
At this moment, Chen Liu seized the opportunity and raised his blade!
The bright sword slashed straight at the red-clothed demon.
He shouted at the same time: "Do it!"
Bang bang bang!
Several baskets were opened, and the guards held knives to face the figure in red, surrounding him!
