C104

The sudden sound of the sigh gave me a fright. Then, I abruptly raised my head.

The windows in the house had long ago been shattered. Last time, Liu Qing had used a slingshot to break it, so when they were in the courtyard, they could clearly see and hear everything that was happening in the house.

I saw some ashes in front of the two spirit tablets. They were obviously worshipped not long ago.

I wanted to go in and take a closer look, but I didn't make up my mind in the end. After all, I knew in my heart that I was one of the people that Aunt Zhang wanted to kill, and that I was someone who had a great relationship with her death.

I originally felt guilty towards the Aunt Zhang, but when I found out that the Aunt Zhang was a place where ghosts kept on spreading and killing people, I felt even more guilty.

After what happened at Aunt Zhang's house last time, I am even more afraid to step foot into it.

If not for Liu Qing's arrival the last time, I would have definitely died.

At this moment, he heard a long sigh coming from inside the room, but he didn't see anything …

I took a deep breath and turned around. Hearing such a sound, it should have been normal …

It's just that I'm struggling with a question, could it really be Liu Qing? Or was there someone else?

If there was someone else, who could it be?

Based on the method I had used to dig from the mountain, I started the fire while digging the hole. Fortunately, the hole was relatively small, and the ground beneath the mountain wasn't as solid as it was frozen.

A few hours later, I dug out the box again. During the process of digging, I carefully moved the wooden figures to the side.

At this moment, I also noticed that above the wooden puppet, there was something abnormal about it …

These wooden figures were all stained with some color.

Furthermore, they were all in the same spot, with blood flowing out from the area where their eyes were, as if they were crying.

This made the originally strange wooden figure look even more evil.

Could it be that the entire Evil Theurgy had been taken away, causing the Wood Elves to experience such a change?

I took a deep breath and took out the box before carefully opening it.

It was still this coffin-shaped box, but the iron chains on it, which I had undone last time, were still hanging on top of the coffin.

After opening the coffin, a fishy stench emanated from within. It was the smell of thick blood.

It was as if after the book on Evil Theurgy had left, everything buried underground had changed soundlessly.

The coffin was still filled with old copper coins. However, the color of the copper coins had changed. They were now covered in a layer of dark red rust that gave off a smell similar to blood.

The dark red rust looked more or less the same color as the color of the wooden puppets' eyes.

The wooden puppets were originally smiling, but now, their smiles turned into evil smiles.

It was true that the eyes could change the entire face. If the eyes of a person changed, their expression might change as well.

As a human, the wooden figure was naturally the same. At this moment, the wooden figure's eyes were a little red, and its smile also changed along with it.

It seems like these things really have something to do with this book …

As I put the book back into the coffin, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me from behind, a pair of hands resting slowly on my shoulders.

Although he did not feel the heaviness, he still felt waves of coldness that seeped into his shoulder.

I exhaled a long breath of cold air and without much thought, I quickly covered the lid of the coffin tightly.

At the same time, I reattached the previous chain onto the chain. After doing all of that, I felt the strangeness slowly disappear from my body.

After that, I slowly put the coffin back. I didn't know if these wooden figures had any particular methods of burying it before, or if they had any particular directions to place it in.

After all, the wooden puppets were all dug out. Even if there was a sequence, the last time they were dug out, it was already a mess.

One must know that there are many things to pay attention to within the Yin-yang Dao. One must have enough intelligence and care.

If there was a place to pay attention to, any deviation in a small detail could affect the overall situation.

Right now, I only hope that these wooden puppets aren't special in the first place. Otherwise, with my current abilities, it would be difficult to deal with them.

Now, he could only bite the bullet and bury the coffin.

As I was about to put the coffin in, I jumped and almost dropped the one I was holding in my arms.

Because I saw a black mass of ants crawling under the coffin.

These ants had been gathering at the bottom of the coffin for who knows how long. Moreover, there didn't seem to be food on the floor, nor did it seem like an ant's nest.

I remember last year, when I first dug this thing out, I didn't see anything like this.

Why did he see so many ants now that the weather was cold?

Ye Mo frowned as he stared at the ants for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. Other than the strange location and time, there really wasn't anything special about them.

The black mass gave me goosebumps. I braced myself and placed the coffin back where I was. Since the location of the coffin was originally here and there were no changes in the position of the ants, then there should be sufficient gaps to prevent the ants from being crushed to death.

Then, I carefully filled up the wooden bodies and the soil. This time, I purposely counted a total of 15 wooden bodies. I didn't know if they had been dug out or not.

The position and size of the red dots on the wood puppets were all the same. Even if they were wrong, they weren't too big.

The wooden body emitted an evil aura, and the smile on the corner of its mouth also became strange.

I have never seen any of these wooden figures in the Compendium of Evil Theurgy. After all, it is very possible that they are techniques used to suppress this book, so I believe that there is no description of them in the Compendium of Evil Theurgy.

In other words, this was something that the adoptive father had researched himself. It was a technique that he had learned in the past …

After burying the book, I let out a long breath and felt much more relaxed.

I don't know if it's just that the psychological burden has lessened, or if something really has disappeared from me.

Too many things could have happened, and I was really a bit suspicious.

However, I feel that anyone who experiences this kind of thing would become extremely suspicious …

There are so many things that normal people find hard to understand. I just watched helplessly as, secretly, I guessed.

How many more secrets do I not know?

How many other people are there that I haven't met?

Anyway, right now, I have temporarily put down a heavy burden. Looking at the sun, it's already noon. It's time to go home.

When I returned home, Lingling was waiting for me. When she saw me return, he heaved a sigh of relief. Lingling had already prepared lunch.

During dinner, I asked Lingling:

"According to your understanding of your big brother Liu Qing, where do you think he should be right now?"

Lingling is young, but her mind is active enough, and I feel that her instincts are sometimes even sharper than mine.

As Lingling ate, she pondered deeply before saying:

"Big Brother Liu Qing is a very serious person, don't look at how he is, he's actually especially serious about what Uncle Liu has to say.

I had the feeling that he had some special feelings for the village, and that there were important things to do in the village.

Since there has been no news of him in the Old Bull Village, then, it is very likely that he is in this village … "

Lingling spoke with a very serious tone, as if she was an extremely old man.

Looking at Lingling's serious expression, I nodded my head. In my heart, I was thinking that Liu Qing was a very powerful person …

Else, it would be impossible for him to kill the Village Chief without batting an eyelid. Since he was strong enough, then …

He might very well have been in the village all along! Others may not be able to do it, but Liu Qing could do it!

Just as I was thinking about this, there was a sudden knock on the door!

"Gather at the village entrance!" The Village Chief is going to have a meeting! "
