Chapter 78 I am religious
  At this time, a muscular, strong man shook his head and said: "You are all wrong. It is night now. Even if there is a situation, the eldest lady will only send out flares during the day before encountering danger."

Hearing this, everyone agreed with him.

They just couldn't sit still after waiting for too long. Who doesn't know that ghosts can only move in the dark, and weak ghosts will die in a short time when exposed to the sun during the day.

"Be patient."

He continued: "I have been observing it for so long, and it is not less than this time and a half."

In fact, they discovered the anomaly in Jimin Village as early as a month ago.

There were many beggars in Yancheng, but the number had decreased rapidly within this month. After asking around, I found out that it was people from Jimin Village who picked them up.

Originally, this matter was not their business. After all, it was Yancheng's business. No matter how long their arms were, they couldn't reach there.

But their eldest lady has a chivalrous heart, and she is approaching a bottleneck and needs to go through life and death to find a breakthrough, so she comes here to investigate.

Find out whether Jimin Village takes in people out of kindness or eats them out of hunger.

However, despite their previous suspicions, after a month of investigation, they discovered that this Jimin Village was indeed Jimin Village.

Children who are taken in here can usually stay here for a long time, and then the villagers inside will teach them crafts that can make a living outside. Those who learn the crafts will also leave Jimin Village.

This is the reason why Jimin Village has been helping beggars in the city, but the number of people in the village has remained stable.

That's why they became suspicious, thinking that those who were taken in were eaten by Jimin Village.

But after so many days of observation, there was nothing abnormal in Jimin Village. Those people who disappeared and thought they were eaten actually just left Jimin Village and went to find a living outside.

But their eldest daughter firmly believed that something was wrong here, so she decided to personally explore Jimin Village and was taken in disguised as a poor person the day before yesterday.

"After one more day, if the eldest lady still hasn't moved, it proves that her guess is wrong, and we can close the stall and leave."

……

Inside Jimin Village.

Moon stars are rare.

Chen Li was rapidly operating his Qi-absorbing technique, absorbing the pitiful spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this area. His consciousness was not idle, imagining the intention of the Galaxy Sword.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters the body, nourishing the blood, bones, internal organs, and veins throughout the body, strengthening Chen Li's body at an unimaginable speed.

Although he has not yet entered the extraordinary world at this moment, he has already left the realm of ordinary people.

At this time, suddenly a man came over.

Chen Li opened his eyes and found that it was the man in black robe driving the carriage.

And when he saw that Chen Li was not sleeping, he was a little surprised for a moment.

It was also at this time that Chen Li discovered that the children around him had already fallen asleep.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with the food.

Seeing the dry food and water placed at Chen Li's feet, he asked, "Why don't you eat them?"

Chen Li shook his head and opened his mouth: "I am a religious person and I have to pray for a period of time before eating."

Religious?

The man was stunned for a moment, but didn't pay much attention. He smiled and said, "Then continue praying and remember not to be too late."

After he finished speaking, he left directly. He came here just to see them.

However, after reaching a blind spot outside, the man jumped lightly, his whole body as light as a swallow, and quietly reached the roof.

He put his ear to the tiles and listened into the house.

He wanted to wait for Chen Li to fall asleep.

Because of the few people outside, their village has not eaten live animals for a long time, and all they eat are the leftover grain reserves and dry goods.

Tonight, the village chief finally lost his patience and sent him to perform a tooth-opening ceremony for the village chief. Naturally, he was happy because he might also get a piece of the pie.

Before he became a ghost, he had never thought that meat could be so delicious. Looking at these people, he had been deeply suppressing himself and restraining his bloodthirsty desire, because whether to eat or not to eat was the only choice. It can be decided by the village chief.

He silently listened to the movement in the house, but he didn't know that the people in the house had already seen through him.

Chen Li noticed that there seemed to be someone above him, turned on his spiritual vision, and found the man lying directly above him.     “What on earth is he going to do?”

Chen Li was very confused when he saw the sneaky man.

Now that the man has not taken action for the time being, it is not easy for him to make any noise at this time.

Moreover, he still needs two hours to reach the first level of Qi training, so he should use up as much time as possible. When he reaches the first level of Qi training, his self-protection ability will also be greatly improved.

The man waited for Chen Li to fall asleep, and Chen Li took the time to practice.

This wait lasted for nearly an hour.

Seeing Chen Li who was still sitting cross-legged and "praying" devoutly, the man had blue veins on his forehead and couldn't bear it. He felt like he was being fooled.

Which religion requires you to pray?
  Still praying for so long?

Do you still need to eat? !
  If a man can't bear it, there is no need to bear it anymore.

He quietly got off the roof again and came to the door.

Chen Li opened his eyes and pretended to be confused: "What's wrong?"

The man looked kind and gave a casual reason: "There is a family in the village who wants to adopt a child here. I will take him over and let them have a look."

Anyway, the child will show up after being eaten, and he is not afraid of being discovered.

As he spoke, he bent down and gently picked up one of the sleeping boys.

Of course, this lame excuse cannot deceive Chen Li.

He silently watched the child being taken away by the man without any movement.

After the man left, Liu Ai, who had been pretending to be asleep in the left room, suddenly opened her eyes.

She got up and came to the middle of the room, where she saw Chen Li who was sitting cross-legged practicing.

Chen Li also saw her.

However, Chen Li knew her, but she did not know Chen Li.

Liu Ai's expression was calm, but her words were quite polite, and she said, "I'm going to go to the latrine."

Chen Li pretended not to recognize her, nodded and said, "Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ai left the house following the man's footsteps.

Seeing this, Chen Li did not hesitate and quietly followed Liu Ai.

At this moment, he was only one step away from reaching the first level of Qi training, but out of concern for Liu Ai, he decided to temporarily stop practicing.

……

In another courtyard.

The man had arrived in front of the village chief with the boy in his arms.

"It's a little dirty." The old man looked at the dirty boy on his face and said, "Go and wash it off."

"Yes."

Not long after, the boy was cleaned and even his clothes were changed, from coarse linen clothes to luxurious brocade clothes.

Men are aware of the village chief's hobbies, and those who eat are also well-dressed.

"good."

Seeing this, the old man nodded with satisfaction, "We can split up later."

Hearing this, the bloodthirsty desire in the man's eyes was finally revealed, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, village chief!"

Meanwhile, outside the house where they were.

Liu Ai crouched in the corner, listening to the conversation between the man and the village chief, and finally confirmed that this village was a cannibal village!

Moreover, it is a village where humans and ghosts collude!
