When they arrived at Lijiatun, Yaoguang and others went directly to the village committee, where they learned some news about the forest farm fire that year.
The fire that year started in the center of the forest farm, and no one noticed it because it happened in the early morning. By the time it was discovered, the fire had already burned badly. Because the weather was dry at that time and it was autumn, the fire spread quickly. , when the army came, the fire had already burned to the outside. Later, the army dug isolation belts to extinguish the fire. The person who looked after the forest farm in the mountains died in the fire. The family of five was not even found. Later, the Forestry Bureau came to investigate and said it was a natural fire.
"Master, what do you think?" Huo Mingkun asked.
"Find someone who is familiar with the road. Let's go to the place where the forest farm manager lived." Yao Guang said.
The village committee sent a young man who was familiar with the mountain roads to accompany Yao Guang and others into the forest farm. The young man’s name was Li Shu, and he said it was because he was born in the woods.
"The trees in this forest farm were all replanted by my father and the others after the fire. I was a child at that time, and I only remember the fire and the billowing smoke. Because it was a wild forest farm, there were many small animals here. After that fire, many animals were burned to death. What a pity." Li Shu said as he walked into the forest. He said: "The investigation results after the fire said that it was a natural fire, and in the end it was settled. The family of five has no descendants, and the compensation money seems to be still sitting in the neighborhood committee. The neighborhood committee said that no one will inherit it. , you have to keep it."
"How often do natural fires occur in the forest?" Yao Guang asked.
"It's not much. After all, there is still some rainfall here. Even if it does, it won't burn for long. It rains often and the trees here are wet, so it's not easy to burn." Li Shu said.
After entering the woods, there were trees everywhere, and there really was no direction without anyone leading them. Li Shu led everyone along a path that was still clearly visible.
After walking for about an hour, we finally stopped on a hillside. There is a wooden house made of tree trunks at the bottom of the hillside.
"This wooden house was rebuilt after the wildfire. The previous one has been burned to ashes. Let's go in and have a rest." Li Shu led everyone inside.
The cabin is simple but clean. There are also rice noodles, oil, salt and so on. This seems to be a temporary resting place.
"Since the wildfire, no one here has been looking at the forest. People from the Forestry Bureau do not allow villagers to live in the forest, saying it is too dangerous." Li Shu said.
Yao Guang nodded and didn't say anything else. He just came out and stood in front of the wooden house and looked around. I found that this forest was not just an ordinary forest at all. There was a lot of spiritual energy here.
Yao Guang lowered his head and thought, how powerful can the mountain fire be? It can burn the bones of five people without leaving any residue. This situation is not logical. You have to know that if you want to burn all human bones into powder, you have to be The high-temperature furnace of the crematorium can do this, but there must still be some teeth, bones, etc. The temperature of the wildfire will burn people at most, and it is impossible to burn the bones and dregs.
Yao Guang turned around in a circle to sense, but it took too long and there was no way to sense the existence of the soul body.
Ah, if I had known I would have brought the jelly like this. Yao Guang glanced at the endless forest farm in front of him depressedly. Just bouts of depression.
"Meow, do you miss me so much?" When Yao Guang was in a daze, a ball of furry things climbed onto Yao Guang's head.
"Jelly?! Why are you here?" Yaoguang grabbed the little black cat off his head, put it on his face and rubbed it. Really timely rain? !
"Dad said that Meow was in trouble and brought me here. Meow." Jelly stuck out his tongue and licked Yao Guang's face.
Yao Guang looked up and saw the male immortal standing not far away.
"What are you looking for?" The male fairy came over and asked.
"The bones of five people who have been dead for more than ten years." Yaoguang said: "These five people died in a huge mountain fire more than ten years ago, but there are no bones left. I doubt that these five people The bones were not burned by the fire, but were destroyed and all traces were destroyed. Only by finding them can we know what happened."
"Okay, I understand. Here comes Jelly." The male fairy stretched out his hand towards Jelly, and Jelly made a reassuring gesture with his little paws and rushed towards the male fairy. After a while, the figures of the two guys disappeared in the woods. Inside the layers of shadows.
Yaoguang smiled and walked back into the wooden house. Boiled water and cooked some food with everyone.
"Meow." While everyone was cleaning up, the door opened, and he rushed in like a jelly wind and lay directly on Yao Guang's head. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Shu beside him. Quickly use the voice transmission: "Meow, there are traces ten meters behind the wooden house. There are human bones underneath. Daddy is guarding over there."
Yaoguang stood up: "Follow me."
Everyone immediately followed Yao Guang to their destination.
Pointing to the small clearing, he said, "dig this place."
Without hesitation, Huo Mingkun took the shovel handed over by Li Shu and started digging. When he dug nearly seven or eight meters deep, he saw a section of human bones exposed. A few gay men began to dig deeper.
Finally, the human bones wrapped in soil were dug out.
The bones were burnt black, showing signs of being burned by fire.
"God bless, call Lele and the others to come over." Yaoguang looked at the human bones and began to roughly spell them out by himself. Five human bones. There are three adults and two children. Judging from the symphysis of the toes, the adults are two boys and one girl, and the children are a boy and a girl.
"This is why there are no bones left. What kind of fire can burn people seven or eight meters below the ground." Xuan Chen looked at the big pit and said: "These people may have been killed."
"Killed? Who?" Li Shu was surprised.
"It's the people who set fire to the woods." Xuan Chen said.
More than an hour later, Lele and Chenchen came. The first step of the autopsy begins. Sure enough, clues were found in these people.
"These people were not burned to death by the fire. These people were killed. Several marks left by sharp weapons were found on the ribs of the three adults, one of which was stabbed to the heart. The two children were There was a scratch on the collarbone from bottom to top. It was judged that someone had cut the throat. I did not find any traces of smoke and dust in the cranial cavities of these people. In other words, these people were killed after , burn the corpse." Lele stood up.
"After killing people and burning their corpses, they buried them. Burning the corpses requires a lot of wood, which is obtained locally. However, because it was not handled properly, it caused a wildfire. Everything can be explained. Now there is only one question left. What is the motive for the murder? I just saw that this forest is not simple, it is not just an ordinary forest." Yao Guang looked around and asked Li Shu: "Li Shu, is there any legend about this forest?"
"Legend? Well, there really is. Legend has it that there is some kind of treasure buried here. Many people have come to explore it, but they all returned without success." Li Shu said.
"Then do you know the location of those treasure legends?" Yaoguang asked.
"Over Shanjia Valley, there are wild beasts far away. Some people have been to our village before, but no one has come back." Li Shu said.
"Okay, I understand." Yao Guang looked at Chen Haixie: "We need to ask the parties involved about this, otherwise no one will know what happened that year."
"Yeah." Chen Haixie nodded. Then several people returned to the cabin. Night has begun to fall.
Yao Guang glanced at Chen Haixie. Chen Haixie turned his eyes and hit Li Shu with a ray of light. Li Shu fell down instantly: "Let him sleep. There are some things you can't let him know."
Yao Guang nodded.
Everyone followed Yao Guang out.
In this open space, Yaoguang arranged a simple magic circle. Around the five skeletons, the soul-calling ritual began. These five people died violent deaths and must still be in these woods after all these years. As long as we find the souls of these five people, we can know what these people went through back then.
The soul-calling ceremony has begun, and the soul-calling flags are flapping in the wind.
This kind of soul-calling in the mountains is actually very depressing, and it is always easy to attract different things. Sure enough, not long after, a lot of mountain spirits and wild monsters came. But when they saw Yao Guang, who was covered in golden light, they didn't dare to step forward.
The most depressing thing is that Yaoguang's soul-calling ritual actually brought the mountain god here. Looking at the green-faced and fanged mountain god, Yaoguang felt depressed for a while. Come on, stop trying, the mountain gods are here. Just ask him.
"Who are you waiting for?" The mountain god looked at Yao Guang and others and asked.
Yao Guang didn't waste any time and showed his real body directly. The mountain god was stunned for a moment when he saw Yaoguang's god-like attire, and then he worshiped. Before he could bow down, he was lifted up by Yao Guang.
"Sir, what do you want to know?" the mountain god asked.
"Where are the souls of these five people, and what was the cause of the mountain fire that year." Yao Guang asked.
"The soul has become the spirit in this mountain. I'll call you." The mountain god turned around and disappeared. After a while, he came back, followed by five shadows. When Yao Guang saw it, he actually cultivated into an earth spirit.
"I have seen the God." These five people were an old man, a young man, a young woman, and two children in their teens. They all look like villagers.
"Are you the old Zhangtou family who guarded the forest back then?" Yao Guang asked.
"I am Lao Zhangtou." The old man stepped forward and saluted.
"Old man, I have wronged you for so many years. My whole family died in a tragic accident, and there is no one to redress the injustice." Yao Guang said.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. It's your life." Lao Zhangtou shook his head helplessly.
"Can you tell me? What happened back then?" Yao Guang asked.
"There is a legend in this forest. There is a treasure here. In fact, it is not a real treasure of gold and silver. This is because this was originally a primitive forest with many precious medicinal materials. The so-called treasure is actually the ginseng essence here. The ginseng essence here is thousands of years old. The reason why my family’s ancestors have lived in the mountain for generations is not to protect the trees here, but to protect the ginseng essence in the mountain. This must start from my ancestors. At that time, there were people They came in to dig ginseng, and some Taoist monks also came in to look for it. A Taoist priest used some magic to catch a ginseng essence doll and tied the head of the doll with a red thread. The doll couldn't run away. My ancestors discovered that they After secretly untying the red thread, the ginseng doll ran away. Later, my ancestors would receive a ginseng stick every day and sell it. After earning money to live on, after a long time, they were targeted by the gangsters at the bottom of the mountain and forced to I asked my ancestors to tell the truth, but the ginseng spirits were all elves who had practiced in the mountains for many years. They were caught so easily. Later, there was a legend that there was a treasure in the mountains. In order for the ginseng spirits not to be discovered, my ancestors We have stayed in the mountains for generations, using the excuse of watching the forest to protect the ginseng spirits. In fact, this mountain does not need our protection. There are many mountain spirits and wild monsters in the mountain, and people with ulterior motives cannot come in or out. Until more than ten years old Years ago, four people came. They were Yang Luo, Yang Cheng, Yang He, and Yang Ruo. I don’t know where these four people got the news from. They kidnapped our family as soon as they entered the mountain and forced us to They told us the whereabouts of the ginseng essence, but we refused to tell it, so we were killed by these beasts. We became lonely ghosts in this mountain, but we are friends with the creatures in this mountain, and these souls are like We were protected in this way. These people cut down the trees and burned us, and the bones were buried in this big pit. But they left before the fire on the ground was extinguished, which triggered the fire. You don't know what happened. Later, the relatives of these four people were Yang Jiu, the village chief of Yangjiatun. When Yang Jiu found out, he went to the Forestry Bureau to find Yang Hai and Yang Qin. These two beasts came here to investigate because of their connections, and finally suppressed them with natural fires. After what happened this time, our family was naturally said to have died in the fire." After finishing speaking, Lao Zhangtou sighed, "A fire has devastated all the creatures here. It has only slowly recovered in the past few years. Get up. We discussed making trouble in this mountain, letting the people at the foot of the mountain know that there are monsters here, and they can no longer enter the mountain. This way we protected the forest."
"So that's it, Uncle Zhang, you can rest assured. Those seven people are dead. They were burned to death by the murderer using fire poisonous insects." Yao Guang sighed.
"It can be considered a cycle of cause and effect. That's all." Lao Zhangtou sighed.
"Although it is an earth spirit, it is still a ghost that cannot be escaped. Do you want to be reincarnated or continue to stay in this forest?" Yao Guang asked.
"We don't want to leave." Lao Zhangtou sighed. “Our ancestors have been in this forest for generations, and we can’t bear to leave.”
Yao Guang nodded, spiritual energy surged in his hands, and a ray of light enveloped the five people's spiritual bodies: "I will seal you as a righteous person with my god, practice sincerely, cultivate good deeds, cultivate good thoughts, do not do evil, do not do evil, On the day of success, may you ascend to heaven."
Under this golden light, the spiritual bodies of Lao Zhangtou's family lost their ghostly aura and became transparent and clear.
"Uncle Zhang, from now on you and your family will have to protect this forest." Yao Guang withdrew his spiritual energy.
Lao Zhang bowed his head and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Back at the wooden house, Chen Haixie relieved Li Shu from his drowsiness. When he woke up, he looked puzzled and asked, "Why did I fall asleep?"
"You're too tired. Let's go back. Li Shu asked your village committee to build a tomb for Lao Zhangtou's family here. It would be pitiful to be killed." Yao Guang said.
Li Shu didn't understand what Yao Guang meant. When he walked out and saw the human bones on the ground, he turned pale with fright: "Are these the old Zhangtou's family?"
Yao Guang nodded: "We are here this time for this family. This family was killed by Yang Luo, Yang Cheng, Yang Tai, and Yang Ruo. Yang Jiu concealed the truth as the village chief. Yang Qin and Yang Jiu neglected their duties. . It’s also retribution.”
Back in Lijiatun, after hearing this, the village chief used the compensation money from Old Man Zhang's family to build a pretty good cemetery. He also told the villagers that this family was a hero, so don’t forget to pay tribute to his family when visiting their tombs and worshiping their ancestors.
Back at Tianjian, several people were silent. They did not hesitate to kill and set fire for wealth that did not belong to them. This volcanic hell was also appropriate.
These seven people are really speechless.
Lao Zhangtou's family makes people sigh.
Yao Guang looked at the fire poisonous insects on the desk depressedly, Gui Shi, this time he was going to play big.
The sixteenth level of hell: volcanic hell.
