I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 42
in the lobby.

After hearing what Zhang Long said, Zuo Dao couldn't help but frown slightly.

Then he said: "Ten miles outside Linya City, another giant corpse like Fan Quan's descendant was found?"

Zhang Long nodded and said, "Yes, according to the local villagers, the giant corpse was more than three meters tall, with a ferocious face, and it ate everyone it saw. It was extremely terrifying."

"They fled all the way until they came to Linya City, found the Jinyiwei Yamen, and reported the matter."

"Now Du Qianhu has brought people to investigate, and asked the humble minister to come and inform the Lord."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao looked a little confused.

That Fan Quan's heir swallowed the Yin Corpse Pill, so he turned into a giant corpse that swallowed human life and blood.

Why did another giant corpse appear on the outskirts of the city?

Could it be that the subordinates of the old Black Mountain demon appeared and the giant corpse created with the Yin Corpse Pill was not there?

He immediately stood up and said: "You stay in the Jinyiwei Yamen to guard, and let Zhao Hu and I go together."

Zhang Long heard the words and immediately responded, then ran outside to prepare his horse.

Zuo Dao returned to the room, took the physical Buddha with him, and then ran towards the outside of Linya City with Zhao Hu.

on the street.

Seeing Zuo Dao and Zhao Hu galloping on their horses, pedestrians on the road hid on both sides for fear of being hit by them.

The changes in the City Lord's Mansion the day before yesterday have already spread among the people in the market.

Almost everyone in Linya City knew that the entire family of the city lord and his family had been imprisoned by Jin Yiwei.

There were dozens of people in the family, but no one was left alive.

Moreover, they vaguely heard that there was a long sound of chopping meat coming from the Jinyiwei Yamen that night.

In the early morning of that day, someone saw the corpse being transported out of the Jinyiwei Yamen.

Others saw something that was put into a sack and dripping blood, and was thrown directly into the wilderness by the Jin Yiwei.

Some people said that the contents of the sack had a strong smell of blood and attracted many jackals and wild dogs.

In just one hour, everything inside was eaten.

Rumor has it that those sacks contained City Master Fan’s family, and they were all chopped into pieces by Jin Yiwei and thrown to wild dogs to eat.

For a time, Jin Yiwei's reputation was at its peak in Linya City.

Not only the people in the market changed their minds after hearing the news, but even the officials of all sizes in the city avoided him like snakes and scorpions.

Naturally, no blind person dared to stop the two of them, so they could only watch the two of them leave.

en route.

Zhao Hu glanced at his master, especially his eyes fixed on the simple knife behind him.

This thing is the weapon of the old man, Zuo Dao's father.

Zuo Dao learned swordsmanship and swordsmanship from his father since he was a child.

It's just that since the death of the boss, he has never seen his master use a Pu Dao. Why did he think of bringing a Pu Dao with him today?

It was approaching noon.

The two came to the village where the giant corpse was found.

Du Wanshan stood at the entrance of the village with a group of royal guards. When he saw Zuo Dao and others coming, he immediately stepped forward to salute.

Zuo Dao dismounted and said, "Du Qianhu, how do you understand the situation here?"

Du Wanshan replied: "I have a general understanding of the situation here. After the giant corpse had eaten and drank enough, it left in the direction of Shiwanda Mountain. I was a step too late."

Hearing Du Wanshan speak, Zuo Daoming was stunned for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of Shiwandashan.

This village is still dozens of miles away from the edge of Shiwanda Mountain.How did that giant corpse appear here?
And there are many villages halfway between the two. Why do they have to come here to devour the human race?
Not right.

Zuo Dao asked someone to call the village elder and asked, "What do those people in your village who are eaten by giant corpses do on weekdays?"

The village elder thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "Lord Qi, they usually go into the mountains to cut firewood and hunt. They stay on the edge of Shiwan Mountain and never go deep into it."

Hearing the village elder speak, Zuo Dao couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, is it still related to Shiwandashan?

But there are some things in their homes that can make this giant corpse come here.

Just when he was confused and wanted to go and investigate where those families lived.

Seeing that the village elder seemed to suddenly remember something, he quickly said: "Sir, a few days ago, Li San and the others picked up a pitch black thing in Shiwan Mountain. It looked a bit like a wooden man."

"It's just that the wooden man was completely black and looked creepy, so they left him in the woodshed and said they wanted to light a fire."

"Did this thing cause them to die?"

Zuo Dao heard this and said, "Is that wooden man still there?"

Hearing this, the village elder said, "I don't know, I just remember that they threw that thing in the woodshed before, and I don't know if it is still there now."

With that said, he led Zuo Dao and others towards the residence of those people.

I saw that most of the residence of those people had been smashed by something, and the damage was terrible.

Jin Yiwei also came here to investigate, but didn't find anything.

In other words, they simply treated it as a case of giant corpse murder without thinking deeply about it.

The village elder pointed to one of the edge huts with a broken door and said, "Sir, that is their woodshed."

Zuo Dao looked at the damaged door, a look of disappointment flashed across his face.

But I still went up to take a look.

I saw that most of the firewood was piled in the woodshed, and there were indeed signs of something placed in the corner.

It just looked like it had been taken away.

Could it be that the giant corpse really came for the pitch-black wooden figure that these people picked up? What was that thing?
At this time, Du Wanshan came closer and said: "Sir, Li Yuan, the general banner of Jinyiwei, has followed the giant corpse and said that he has found the walking route of the giant corpse." '

Hearing this, Zuo Dao had a look of surprise on his face.

Then he said: "Follow me and go have a look."

Du Wanshan responded and then led the way.

When we came to a small road behind the village, we saw a young Jin Yiwei waiting at the intersection.

After seeing Zuo Dao, he said excitedly: "Li Yuan, a humble official, has met Lord Qianhu."

Zuo Dao said, "Du Qianhu said, have you tracked the giant corpse?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan showed a look of satisfaction on his face and said: "To tell you what my lord, I did track the giant corpse. It's just that the giant corpse walked along the path and reached a deserted suburb. The little one didn't dare to go deeper. So I came back specifically to report to you, sir."

Zuo Dao glanced at the path in front of him and said, "Is this the road?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, according to the low-level tracking method, after the giant corpse swallowed several people in the village, it left along this path."

"And this path leads directly from the back of the village to the official road side, but the traces are not on the official road, but go to the wilderness."

"That place used to be famous, but now it has been abandoned for many years. I think that the giant corpse usually hides there."

Zuo Dao heard this and said in surprise: "Do you know what is in that wilderness?"

Li Yuan said seriously: "I am a local in Linya City, so I naturally know the surroundings. At the end of the deserted countryside is an abandoned place called Zhengqi Villa."
