Chapter 267： find the source

Pei Anzhu drew the talisman at a fast enough speed, one after another, and his spiritual energy seemed not to be exhausted, which impressed Shen Yueran who was watching from the side.

She has also tried to draw symbols, but often her energy is exhausted and she becomes paralyzed as soon as she starts writing.

There is still a long way to go before it can be completely completed.

After Pei Anzhu drew enough defensive symbols, Officer Du's communication with Bureau Guo also ended. He walked over and said to the two of them:

“Director Guo is already on his way, along with people from the military and the secretary next to the top leader, whom you saw in Meng Chao’s ward last time.”

“They heard that a demon appeared, and they must come and see it with their own eyes. Later we will have a satellite aerial camera fly to the mountain, and the leaders will be at the bottom of the mountain to observe the situation on the mountain.”

“What the leaders mean is that if the monster can be captured alive, try to capture it alive; if it cannot be captured alive, it will be executed on the spot, and it must not be allowed to harm the people.”

“In addition, our supporting brothers are coming soon. At that time, they will use the impending earthquake as an excuse to evacuate all the people in several nearby villages.”

“As for the rest, I’ll leave it to you, Master Pei.”

After hearing this, Pei Anzhu nodded: "Don't worry, as long as I am still alive, I will not let it cause any harm to humans."

Police Officer Du did not relax because of Pei Anzhu's promise. In fact, he was very nervous.

Because he also remembered what Master Zhao once said at the Zhou family’s mountain manor—

The Curse of the Great Demon.

It was related to the reasons for the inheritance of Xuanmen and the future stability of the country. At that time, he kept every word Master Zhao said in his heart and even recorded it.

Later, he handed this recording to the superiors, who had always been wary of the "demon" species. As far as he knew, there were already secret troops searching for traces of demons across the country.

However, unexpectedly, there was no progress in other places, but it was Master Pei who made a discovery.

This makes Officer Du feel lucky:

Without Master Pei, Xuanmen still has no one who can carry the banner. What should the country do when faced with the sudden appearance of a monster?

In that case, does it mean that half of the curse of the great demon has been fulfilled?

I have to admit that Officer Du has told the truth to a certain extent.

He didn't know that Pei Anzhu came from time to time. Without her, a Taoist genius from another world, this world might really be like the great demon's curse.

Ghosts are in power, and demons are everywhere.

Pei Anzhu also thought about this. She was even thinking that the thunder struck her into this world just to let her be the savior.

Otherwise, she would have been a good person and full of merit for ten lives, and she would not have fallen under the thunder.

Thinking of this, Pei Anzhu composed himself and said:

"Time waits for no one. I'll go up the mountain first. When I find the monster, I will try my best to communicate with it and delay time so that you can evacuate all the villagers."

“In addition, I will also find out why there is water soaked in carrion flowing down the mountain. Whether it is an accident or man-made, there must be a result.”

After giving the explanation, Pei Anzhu walked towards the mountain.

She was still carrying her schoolbag, which contained some concealing props. After all, the existence of the storage ring could not be exposed.

Just like that, go up step by step.

The sun shines on the back of the lone figure walking alone. Blocked by the shadows of the trees in the mountains, it is half-dark and half-dark. He looks firm and steady, like a lonely hero facing difficulties.

“Xiaozhu, please pay attention to safety!” Shen Yueran warned from behind.

 Pei Anzhu did not look back, he only stretched out his hand and made an OK gesture, walking calmly.

Bureau Guo and the others came directly by helicopter.

The plane was equipped with the aerial photography equipment that Officer Du said, as well as thermal weapons ready to support Pei Anzhu at any time. It arrived in Baocheng County in less than two hours.

Bureau Guo took the walkie-talkie and contacted Officer Du on the mountain:

"How is the situation?" "Most of the villagers have been evacuated." Officer Du said, "Fortunately, we brought enough people with us this time to take care of several villages. When the villagers heard about the upcoming earthquake, they were very worried. Cooperate, now they have been sent to the foot of the mountain in batches.”

“Okay, where is Master Pei?” Bureau Guo asked again.

"I went up the mountain alone two hours ago. Her mobile phone lost signal and there is no way to contact her." Officer Du added, "Now we will see if we can see her in the aerial photography."

“Okay, please report any situation at any time.” Director Guo warned.

After cutting off the call, Director Guo went to the next room.

Technicians are installing aerial photography equipment displays. Once completed, satellite aerial photography can be started, and the situation on the mountain can be observed here.

About ten minutes later, a picture flashed on the monitor:

“Yes, yes!”

“This angle is okay! We have a picture! But there are trees blocking it, so we have to go down further!”

“Machine No. 3 adjusts its angle, thirty meters to the southeast, to see if that is Master Pei?”

"Hurry up!"

…

After the technicians were busy for a while, they finally found Pei Anzhu in the woods at the back of Shuize Village.

She is easy to recognize.

A slender girl with a black schoolbag. She is alone in the vast forest.

Bureau Guo and several other leaders stood quietly in front of the screen, looking at Pei Anzhu in the forest on the top of the mountain, their eyes shocked—

Because at this time, Pei Anzhu was digging up the corpse with his bare hands.

***

Two hours ago, Pei Anzhu went up the mountain along the mountain path, walking along the place where the corpse and yin qi were the strongest.

She was not in a hurry to find the demon, but wanted to find out the reason why the corpses were soaked in the mountain stream first.

After searching, I found a corpse dumping place in the forest.

Pei Anzhu saw corpses piled up all over the ground, scattered in various directions, as if they had been thrown here randomly, but there were also some corpses half buried in the ground.

These corpses all have one thing in common:

None of them have hearts. To be precise, their hearts have been hollowed out. A hole has been dug directly into the left chest cavity, penetrating through the chest and back.

Seeing this scene, Pei Anzhu was basically certain that this was the source of the appearance of living corpses in Shuize Village.

This corpse dumping ground is connected to the groundwater river in the mountain. The corpses were buried underground and soaked in water, and the water flowed down the mountain and led to Liu Chao's pond.

As for how the groundwater flows, we have to dig the river channel to know.

But no surprise, this is the root cause.

In order to delay time and give the people at the foot of the mountain a chance to evacuate, Pei Anzhu did not go to find the demon immediately. Instead, she chose to dig out all the bones and wait for the Bureau of Investigation to send people to help collect them.

This digging took nearly two hours.

When she heard the sound of an aerial camera in mid-air, she subconsciously raised her head and waved to the sky.

Bureau Guo issued an order at this time:

“This should be the source of the corpses soaked in water. We don’t know how many corpses there are underground. Mark the latitude and longitude first, and then send people to collect the corpses after Master Pei subdues the monster.”

“Also, let’s see if we can find a way to send Master Pei a satellite phone or a walkie-talkie for easy communication.”
