Silence looked at the barrel.
Then he looked at the Iron Spear Sect disciples.
They looked weird and their eyes were dull, as if they had lost their souls.
Silence suddenly asked: "Have you never drank the water in this bucket?"
"I'm very thirsty and want to take a sip of water." Bai Wugou sighed: "But before I had time to drink, that man and you appeared."
"It seems that you are lucky." Shen Mo glanced at him lightly and said, "If you also drank water, I'm afraid you would be like them now."
"There's something wrong with this water." Bai Wugu's face turned a little pale, and he frowned: "But I don't understand why drinking water from ordinary people's homes makes people become like this."
That bucket of water was originally a bucket of normal drinking water, but for some reason, it has now become a bucket of extremely extraordinary water.
Silently stood up suddenly, came to the six Iron Spear Sect disciples, stretched out his hand to test their breathing.
All six people were still breathing weakly. They were all strong young men, each sitting cross-legged on the ground. It seemed that they had been maintaining this posture for some time.
Silence retracted her hand, her expression a little solemn.
"It seems that they are all poisoned." Shen Mo said: "A poison that will not kill people, but can make the poisoned lose their consciousness."
Bai Wugou nodded and said, "I think so too, but I don't know what kind of poison it is."
Without saying a word, he suddenly turned around and walked out alone.
Bai Wugou was stunned for a moment, he hesitated, and then walked out.
The silence did not stop the man in white who met by chance. He walked briskly into a nearby house and opened the door.
There was no light in the room, so Shen Mo took out the fire stick, shook it and lit it, and a dim fire lit up inside the room.
Bai Wugou remained silent and followed closely behind Shen Mo.
Silence was secretly on guard, holding a fire certificate in one hand, and walked into the back room with a steady pace.
The dim light illuminated the situation inside the house.
There are no exquisite decorations in the house, only the most common daily necessities. At first glance, you can tell that it is a simple and ordinary family.
On a dining table in the room, three people were lying on the table.
There were two women, one old and one young, and the other was a boy in his teens. They seemed to be related to mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandson.
There was food on the table, and the three of them seemed to be having dinner, but they suddenly died while eating.
Because there is still more than half of the rice left in their bowls.
Shen Mo took a few steps closer and put Huozhezi in front of the three dead people.
The three people were lying on the dining table. There was no expression of pain on their faces, and there were no scars on their bodies. On the surface, they did not appear to have died of trauma.
Shen Mo's brows moved, and he found that the eyes of the three deceased people were empty and their expressions were a little stiff.
This sign is quite similar to those of the Iron Spear Sect disciples.
Bai Wuguo didn't say a word, he already understood the meaning of silence.
Without saying a word, he walked out of the house and onto the street, stepping through the snow and pushing open the door of another house.
There are four people in this family, including two old people, a man and a woman, about seventy years old. The other two were a young girl and a rather pretty young woman. The old man fell down under the table with a broken teacup in his hand, and the old woman lay on her back beside the bed with needle and thread in her hand. But the girl and young woman fell under the stove, and the ground was covered with broken dishes. It seems that he suddenly died of poison while cleaning up after a meal.
Silent still didn't speak. He put the fire folding stick close to the faces of the four dead people and found signs that were almost the same as those of the previous three dead people.
There were no wounds, and his death was peaceful, but his face and eyes were dull and hollow.
There was a brief pause in silence, then it turned out again and he walked into a room across the street.
Bai Wuguo said from behind him at the right time: "When we came here, we had already checked these people, and almost all of them died in the same way."
There was silence and no answer, and not long after, the two walked out of the house.
Silence opened the door of the next door again. He seemed to be very interested in the strange situation of Makan.
After a long time, the two of them went out, Shen Mo holding the fire certificate, his expression became more solemn, but there was a faint anger in his heart.
Silently came to the street, he looked up at the end of the long street, and suddenly felt that it was so cold tonight.
After several investigations, the results were similar and there seemed to be no difference.
"Brother, have you noticed any other abnormalities?" Bai Wugou couldn't help but ask, because he seemed to be unable to understand the reason.
"They should all be poisoned by the same kind of poison." Shen Mo said in a deep voice: "Although this place is small and the number of people is not large, there are still hundreds of people. It is necessary to poison all these people in a short period of time. , then there is only one possibility, which is to put the poison into the water source here."
Bai Wugou agreed with this point. He nodded and said, "That makes sense. Judging from the circumstances before their death, they were indeed poisoned after dinner."
"But there are two problems here." He said silently: "First, the people in Iron Gun Gate also drank water, but they are not dead now. Second, haven't you noticed that all the people who died here are some Old, weak, women and children, but not a single young and strong man in their family?"
Bai Wuguo's expression became serious, and his silent words obviously reminded him. The young and handsome man in white frowned and said, "If you didn't tell me, brother, I really wouldn't have noticed this. But I don't know how many men there are in this place. Why do they all disappear at the same time?"
"I've only been here not long ago, so I can't answer your question." Shen Mo reached out and pinched his forehead, and suddenly frowned: "But there is another doubtful point here. The people in the Iron Gun Gate were also poisoned but not Death, and they all have one characteristic..."
When Bai Wuguo heard this, his eyes flashed and he blurted out: "They are all young and strong men."
"That's right." He paused in silence for a moment, and then said slowly: "All I can think of is that although this poison is not fatal, it is still toxic to a certain extent. People who are poisoned by this poison may only be strong. Only a few people can temporarily resist, so those who died here are old, weak, women and children."
Bai Wugou neither agreed nor refuted, because in his opinion, although the reason for silence was not fully based, it was the only reasonable explanation at present.
She was silent but suddenly sighed and said: "But what I can't figure out is, if those young and strong people were all poisoned, why did they disappear together? If they were not poisoned, then where are they now?" As he spoke, he fell into deep thought.
This is indeed a very difficult question.
Bai Wugou said: "If Xiong wants to find out the truth here, it seems that the only way to find the poisoner is to find him."
Silence breathed out slowly and said in a deep voice: "Do you know who the poisoner is? Do you know where he is now?"
Bai Wugou was stunned for a moment, of course he didn't know.
So his face darkened and he stopped talking.
No one knows who put this weird poison in this worthless place like Daomakan.
Of course Shen Mo didn't know, but he seemed to have some suspicions in his heart.
All he could think of was the Demon Cult. But what I can't figure out is that if it was done by the Demon Cult, what was their purpose in doing this? The people who live in Daomakan are extremely ordinary people. No one has heard that there are any hidden martial arts masters here, nor have they heard that there are any mysterious treasures here. This place has never been a place that can Impressive place.
But such a worthless place has now been poisoned, killing so many innocent people. They may not know why they died until they die.
This is why Shen Mo is holding back a rage in his heart and wants to find out the truth.
If what happened here was really the work of the Demon Cult, then the only reason Shen Shen could think of now was to establish his authority. Although he didn't know much about the origins of the war between good and evil back then, he could probably guess some clues from Chong Yuan's words. The Holy Legend has disappeared for many years, and now they are making a comeback. Their purpose is to deal with the martial arts in the Central Plains, and Yixue suffered the humiliation of defeat in the past. Compared with the Central Plains, the influence of the rivers and lakes outside the Pass will not have much impact on the Holy Tradition, but this is the only way for the Holy Tradition to enter the Central Plains. Once the Holy Tradition sets foot in the Central Plains, outside the Pass will undoubtedly be their only retreat. If the obstacles on the way back are not cleared in advance, if the Demon Sect encounters unexpected changes again in the Central Plains, it will be tantamount to being attacked from both sides, and this is obviously not the result that the Holy Legend wants. So the Demon Sect first eradicated the most powerful Sunset Racecourse, and then used this terrifying method to intimidate and unsettle the hearts of the people outside the pass. Then they took the opportunity to take control of the entire world outside the pass for their own use.
In Shen Mo's opinion, there are only two reasons why the Demon Sect uses this method. First, it is impossible to control the entire northwest world with just the power left at Sunset Racecourse. Second, they want to obtain maximum benefits at the minimum cost. After all, their main goal is the Central Plains Wulin, so they do not want to invest too much power outside the customs. And in order to achieve the goal of controlling the Northwest Jianghu, even if they have to use some outrageous means, they are obviously willing to do it.
But this is all just speculation from a silent individual. The reason why he thought this way was because he met Chong Yuan today and learned about the major event of the demon sect reappearing in the world.
But despite this, he still couldn't figure out where the missing people had gone. In addition to intimidating and establishing power, did the demon sect use this poison to have any other conspiracy?
Judging from the three warnings that Shen Shen had just encountered, the Demon Cult was obviously coming for him. But if just to deal with him alone, those innocent people must suffer such unnecessary disasters, then silence will never be tolerated. He must recover this blood debt for those who died.
If Silent's suspicion is true, then the tragedy that happened here was indirectly caused by him. So he can't just sit idly by. He wants the truth, and even more justice.
He is a pure charlatan, but not a aggressive charlatan. He doesn't like to cause trouble, but he has never been a person who is afraid of trouble. Even if he is facing the Holy Legend of the Demon Sect now, he No hesitation either.
Standing silently in the snow on the street, in a short period of time, his mind went through countless thoughts, and then he suddenly said to Bai Wugu: "Not only are you very lucky, but it seems that your martial arts must be good as well. "
Bai Wugu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "If my martial arts were good enough, I wouldn't be in such a mess now."
"There is one thing I think it is necessary to tell you now." Silent eyes swept over Bai Wuguan's face and said: "The person who attacked me just now should be with the people who dealt with the Iron Gun Sect. And those people I also met them today. Their martial arts are very good, especially killing people, they are clean and neat. And you can not only escape from the siege in the Iron Gun Gate, but also bring out several disciples of the Iron Zhongtang. In this way His skills are really not simple.”
"I'm ashamed." Bai Wugu lamented and said, "If I were successful in martial arts, I could save a few more people today." He suddenly looked at the silent waist and continued, "It's my brother's fault. Martial arts are amazing, especially sword skills, which I have never seen in my life. If I hadn't shown mercy just now, I would have been dead for a long time now."
"Compared with sword skills, the man's sword just now may be faster than mine, because it is a sword with only killing intent." Shen Mo said: "That man is not only good at martial arts, but also quite smart. He should have been killed long ago." I noticed your hiding place, so you lured me there on purpose, hoping to use my knife to kill you."
Bai Wuguo felt as if his body trembled when he heard this.
But that person's weapon is not necessarily a knife. Even if it is a knife, there may be more than one.
But Shen Mo knew that it was not only a strange knife, but also a knife that could allow anyone to see death.
Any weapon can kill or save people. The key is how the person holding the weapon uses it. But Silence felt deeply that the man just now seemed to be the incarnation of death. Apart from death, the knife had no other meaning.
"So I say you are very lucky." Shen Mo said in a calm tone: "Not only did you not drink the poisonous water, but you were not killed by that person with a knife. Such luck cannot be better."
Bai Wuguo smiled helplessly and said, "If this is the case, it may be because of my brother."
"Yes, or no." The silent answer was somewhat ambiguous, and then he paused and suddenly asked: "Do you know who those people who destroyed the Iron Gun Sect are?"
"I don't know." Bai Wuguo shook his head and said while recalling: "I just arrived at the Iron Gun Gate today. Before I could enter, I saw that the Iron Gun Gate was already under siege. I felt very surprised at the time. Over the years, the Iron Gun Gate Although the power outside the gate is getting stronger, Mr. Tie has a reputation as a chivalrous man, and I have never heard of him having any enemies. But what I saw today, those people were clearly prepared and well-organized, and they did not look like ordinary people. They are members of the Jianghu sect. But why they massacred the Iron Spear Sect, I really don’t know the inside story.”
"The rivers and lakes have been quite peaceful these past few years, especially outside the customs, which has been calm for many years. That's why I came here alone, thinking that with Old Man Tie, an elder relative, to rely on, I can make a good living in the future. Who knows what will happen? Unforeseen circumstances, I traveled thousands of miles to come here to seek refuge, but before I even saw Mr. Tie, he was already murdered. Now that I think about it, how can I not make people heartbroken?"
Bai Wugu's tone was sad, his eyes were filled with tears, and his expression was full of sorrow.
Silence said nothing, he was looking at the fire stick in his hand.
Bai Wugou suddenly asked: "Since Xiongtai has met those people, do you know their origins?"
"Of course they are not ordinary Jianghu organizations." Silence said in a solemn voice, "They are members of the Demon Sect."
"Devil Cult?" Bai Wugou frowned, looking very surprised.
Shen Mo looked at him and said: "They also have a name called Holy Legend. You are also a member of the world, have you never heard of this name?"
"Devil Cult, Holy Tradition?" Bai Wugu chewed these two names over and over again, as if he was recalling them carefully.
After a long time, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something. Then, with a slightly trembling voice, he asked: "Is that Holy Legend the same demon sect that had a great war with the Central Plains martial arts more than twenty years ago?"
Silence nodded, and then he asked a question that was inconsistent with the current topic: "You said you are from Cangzhou?"
Bai Wuguo nodded and said, "Exactly."
"Cangzhou is full of capable people, and I have been there before." Shen Mo said: "I remember there is a sect in Cangzhou called Baimatang, and the leader is named Bai Yuchang. The Bai surname is a big family in Cangzhou, so almost everyone in Baimatang He is a disciple of our family. Bai Yuchang is good at using a long stick and has few rivals in Cangzhou. Your surname is also Bai, how do you relate to Bai Yuchang?"
When he said this, Silence stared at Bai Wugou with burning eyes.
When Bai Wuguo heard this, his expression couldn't help but change.
After a moment, he lowered his head and sighed, then gave a wry smile and said, "Brother, not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also has such broad knowledge. I really admire him."
"So, are you really related to White Horse Hall?" Shen Mo frowned.
Bai Wugu sighed leisurely and said, "I am indeed from the Bai clan in Cangzhou, and I am considered the same sect as Head Baiyu Changbai. But we are not close relatives."
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows and asked: "Since you are also a disciple of the White Horse Hall, why do you abandon the near and seek the far away and come here alone to make a living outside the customs?"
Bai Wugou's expression dimmed, and he said helplessly: "The White Horse Hall is famous in Cangzhou, and they value those well-off children who are close to the master. Although people like me are also surnamed Bai, no matter their family background or talent, they can't. He is compared with other disciples of our sect, so even though he has some relationship with Baima Hall, in the end he is just an outsider with this surname."
He looked a little sad.
After hearing this, Silence said nothing more.
His expression suddenly changed, and then he said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming."
Bai Wugu's expression changed. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came to his ears.
