It was indeed a little late after discussing the case and finishing the meal. Finally, the three of them rested for the night at the magistrate's house.
Before going to bed, a little maid said she was coming to "change" Wei Changtian on the master's order, but he kicked her out.
Just kidding, Xu Qingwan is in the next room.
Other than that, there was nothing to say all night.
Early the next morning, the three of them followed the two detectives and rushed to Liujia Village.
However, my face showed a bit of fatigue all the way through last week.
Wei Changtian found an opportunity and asked him with a smile: "Your breath is unsteady and your steps are shaky. What did you do last night?"
"Ahem, I drank two more glasses of wine alone in the house."
"I see, but Brother Zhou, since we are martial arts practitioners, we should drink less on weekdays."
"Thank you Brother Wei for your concern..."
Zhou Cheng was stunned, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and he and Wei Changtian looked at Xu Qingwan.
The latter turned a blind eye and looked ahead, the red rope in his hair swaying a few times in the morning wind.
…
There are dozens of families in Liujia Village, most of whom are farmers.
Although the siege and killing of the chicken demon yielded some results, several men were also injured. In the end, the villagers reported the matter to the authorities after summarizing the situation.
I simply asked a few villagers about the situation and learned that these chicken demons were haunting and often carried out sneak attacks. They would come to the village every two days and wander around.
But he hasn't come in the past two days.
Wei Changtian and the others definitely didn't have time to wait for such an uncertain matter, and after discussing it, they were ready to take the initiative.
Of course, you must be prepared before doing so.
Monsters like human blood and human flesh most. Although human flesh is nowhere to be found, human blood is plentiful.
Two detectives volunteered, took a wine bag and wandered around the village, and soon came back with a bag of fresh human blood.
Donating blood for free is for the safety of the whole village.
noble.
Carrying blood and led by a villager, the group soon entered Wanglong Mountain.
The forest was quiet in the early morning, except for the occasional chirping of birds and the sound of people walking on the dirt road.
After everyone walked silently for about two quarters of an hour, the leading villager finally slowly stopped and pointed to an abandoned earth temple hidden in the forest in front of them.
The yellow tiles on the roof of the temple are broken and incomplete, and the ruins are covered with weeds. Through the broken door, you can vaguely see a statue of the Earth God with missing arms and legs.
"Several adults, those chicken demons often haunt this temple. I have seen them several times before."
Cultivating monsters and eating people under the eyes of gods is quite good at picking places.
Wei Changtian curled his lips, while the short policeman next to him had quietly walked into the temple, spilled all the blood in his bag, and then withdrew again.
All he can do now is wait for the demon to show up.
After a brief exchange of words, the five people each found a place to hide in the surroundings. The villagers did not dare to return to the village alone, so they hid next to Zhou Cheng.
Soon, silence returned to the forest again.
The sun moved slowly above our heads, and the dew hanging on the grass blades slowly evaporated.
Nearly half an hour passed like this, but the chicken demon never appeared.
What’s more, it’s not like the protagonist really has a hard time doing anything...
With his back against a big tree that was as thick as two people, Wei Changtian rubbed his sore eyes and began to compare with Xiao Feng out of habit.
Although there are many monsters in this world, there has never been any good solution on how to identify and find monsters.
Even for a professional organization like Willow Leaf Division, the only way to find monsters is to seduce them with human blood.
In the final analysis, it is because of the lack of tools that can detect evil spirits.
But Xiao Feng is different.
The reason why he knew that Zhang Hongwen feeds demons and that Yang Liushi is a fox demon was entirely because of a magical tool - the demon identification compass.
It will respond to monsters within a mile, and can even point out the monster's location.
Coupled with the special magical power of "Demon Refining", it is impossible to upgrade too quickly.
If I had this thing, there would be no need to wait here, I would have gone and killed those chicken demons in one pot.
well……
If I can catch Xiao Feng again next time, I don't care whether I can kill him or not, but at the very least I must search him first and grab all these good things.
It’s my first time being a villain and I still have no experience...
Wei Changtian sighed and looked up at the people hiding in other places.
The two detectives, tall and short, couldn't see clearly because of the angle. Zhou Cheng looked as bored as himself, and the villager was sleeping next to him.
As for Xu Qingwan... this woman is quite dedicated. She is still meticulously watching the movements of the Earth Temple, even her movements are exactly the same as before.
Like a clay Buddha.
Thinking of the Clay Bodhisattva, Wei Changtian turned his attention to the statue of the earth god with no head, feeling a little confused.
Land is the god of Taoism. Logically speaking, in a country like Daning that "emphasizes Taoism but neglects Buddhism", it should not suffer such treatment.
Even if no one worships the statue and it is abandoned, no ordinary people should dare to do such a thing as "destroying the statue of the gods", which is punished by God.
Is it natural damage?
But although this ruined temple is in ruins, the main structure is still intact. The statue cannot be blown by wind or rain, so how could it lose its head?
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more something was wrong, his eyes fixed on the statue.
Then at a certain moment, he actually saw through a crack in the chest of the statue that something seemed to be moving.
Damn it?
A god hiding a demon? ?
Wei Changtian did not jump to conclusions and observed for a while before finally confirming that there was indeed something hidden inside the statue.
Of course, it’s not necessarily those chicken demons, but since the wait is fruitless...
"Wow~"
The branches and leaves trembled, and Wei Changtian stood up and approached the earth temple step by step.
Although the other people didn't know what he was going to do, they soon emerged from their hiding places and followed him.
It wasn't until Wei Changtian stopped ten steps away from the statue that Zhou Cheng behind him lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Wei, what did you find?"
Wei Changtian looked at the statue warily and replied in a low voice: "There seems to be something in the statue."
"No way..."
Zhou Cheng was a little surprised: "These statues are all made of solid clay. Besides, so many chickens can't hide in such a small place..."
"I can't tell."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "But I did see something move just now."
"this……"
Zhou Chenggang wanted to say something more, but was suddenly interrupted by Xu Qingwan.
"You'll know if you take a look. We've been keeping an eye on this place. If those chicken monsters are really hiding in it, they definitely haven't escaped now."
She seemed a little dissatisfied with the two grown men, Wei Changtian and Zhou Cheng, who were chattering away. After speaking, she walked forward directly without even pulling out the knife.
"Wait a moment!"
Wei Changtian opened his mouth behind him, trying to stop him.
He originally planned to throw a rock or something from a distance to smash the statue open. After all, it would be safer if there was something weird inside.
But before he could say anything, the statue of the earth god exploded suddenly, and then a short black shadow shot towards Xu Qingwan's chest.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and the delicate body flew upside down.
