Wang Wenguang was puzzled.
Although I felt a little nervous, it was still broad daylight when the sun was shining brightly. He was accompanied by more than a dozen men and thugs, so he boldly searched the entire forest valley...
But except for the dense woods, the weeds high in the sky, as well as the pheasants, hares and other small animals that were frightened by their group, there is no trace of anyone living here at all!
Wang Wenguang had no choice but to leave here temporarily.
Then he relied on his personal connections to find the Guxin Town Police Station and responded.
As a wealthy man from Guxin Town, it is very honorable to return to his hometown!
The leaders of Fubei County would even receive him if he was willing.
Therefore, the Guxin Town Police Station immediately helped to check the local population and household registration files. It was found that the "Daling Village" Wang Wenguang mentioned did exist, and there were fifty or sixty people registered.
Wang Wenguang still had a vague impression of some of the names.
This made him relieved for the first time, at least it proved that he was not crazy!
Then the problem arises.
How could Daling Village, Wang Wenguang's hometown, suddenly disappear entirely? !
People from Guxin Town Police Station asked, is it possible that he remembered the wrong place?
But among the confidants accompanying him, there were several "old men" who had been with Wang Wenguang for more than 20 years. When Wang Wenguang was not as prosperous as he is now, he would take them back to the village to visit the folks in person, so he also remembered the way to Daling Village.
Everyone said that the boss did not remember the wrong way!
In desperation, people from the Guxin Town Police Station also went there and asked the head of the township where Daling Village belongs to lead the way.
As a result, people at the police station and the countryside were also confused.
Daling Village has indeed completely disappeared!
And this kind of disappearance is not simply that the villagers are missing or the houses are abandoned - it is completely clean and complete. The place where Daling Village used to be is completely wilderness, as if no one has ever lived.
Now things are in trouble...
So I reported it layer by layer.
After all, the entire village disappeared, which meant that dozens of villagers in the village also disappeared.
In peaceful times, this is definitely a big deal!
Of course, information was not developed at that time, so as long as it was deliberately not spread, very few people would know about it.
Both Fubei County and the city sent people to investigate, but they had no clue... After a month or two, nothing was found!
So I had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being and treat it as a weird "unsolved case", and then continue to explore it when conditions permit.
After all, that was in 1996, when the country was not yet wealthy, and manpower in all aspects was limited. It is impossible to keep an eye on one thing and invest a lot of human resources in investigating it. If there is really no result, we can only put it aside and discuss it again...
But for Wang Wenguang, this is a huge thing!
Since the police station won't investigate, he will do it himself!
Anyway, he has plenty of money, so he can continue the investigation even if he has the connections and power of the smuggler.
In the past four or five years, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent one after another, but some information and clues have indeed been found!
For example, some people saw and said that they had seen some strangers appear in Daling Village. In an era when transportation was not developed, it was indeed strange to see strangers in a village deep in the mountains.
For example, some people say that the people in Daling Village seem to be getting richer - not just the kind that Wang Wenguang funded and gave back to the villagers before, but also that they are willing to spend money and wear better clothes.
As well as the young people in Daling Village who originally worked in Guxin Town to make money, many of them have returned to the village one after another and have not come to work in the town for several months.
In short, before Daling Village disappeared completely, some abnormal phenomena did occur!
But the problem is...
It’s useless even if Wang Wenguang knows this!
Although these clues seem unusual, they are not as strange as the disappearance of Daling Village - although there must be some connection.
After working hard in society for so many years and becoming a rich and powerful boss, Wang Wenguang naturally has extraordinary experience.
In fact, he already knew in his heart that the disappearance of his hometown was definitely related to supernatural power!
Therefore, only by finding a real master to help can we hope to find out the truth about Daling Village.
It's a pity...just like what he said to Ni Yang.
People with real abilities are arrogant and unwilling to obey his orders. Or maybe after hearing the reason for the incident, his face changed drastically, and he hesitated and refused to understand further.
As for some people who were willing to help, he felt after a few random tests that they were deceiving others.
Until recently, Wang Wenguang finally found Ni Yang!
This Gucai magician who does have some real abilities and is very greedy for money at first glance is the most suitable person to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of Daling Village...
After listening to Wang Wenguang's story, Ni Yang felt inexplicably uneasy.
After all, anyone with a little bit of common sense knows how powerful the power is that can make an entire village completely disappear inexplicably!
How weird again.
But he couldn't resist the temptation of the unimaginable huge reward. After agreeing, he started the investigation.
During this period, Ni Yang carefully read many times the various information obtained by Wang Wenguang's investigation in previous years. Then he took some people to the original address of Daling Village during the day when the weather was clear and sunny...
He could vaguely feel that there was indeed supernatural power there!
But it's vague and not very real.
Ni Yang knew that his cultivation was not enough, so he thought of looking for a friend he knew - Taoist Mr. Yuan Fei!
He is a famous mage in Guxin Town, with a good reputation, and his magic skills are indeed very good.
After Ni Yang told Yuan Fei these things, he was indeed hesitant at first. But Ni Yang said, don’t you want to know the truth about the disappearance of those villagers and the village? As a decent practitioner, aren't you curious?
This sentence hit Yuan Fei's psychology!
He is indeed a curious person.
And as an upright practitioner, if there is really some powerful evil cultivator doing evil and poisoning the people, then we must stop it!
Even if several years have passed, you still have to at least know what the evil cultivator is up to.
What's more, Ni Yang also promised. After the work is completed, all the huge remuneration will be split 50-50 with Yuan Fei.
Due to various factors, Yuan Fei agreed to this matter.
But he also knows that this matter may not be simple! He and Ni Yang alone might not be able to do it...
So Yuan Fei came to find me and Lao Cao.
We are not only familiar friends, but also life-long friends - our relationship with each other is simple and sincere, not the kind of fair-weather friends. trustworthy.
…
After listening to Yuan Fei's story, Lao Cao and I fell into a brief silence.
This thing is a bit evil and quite shocking!
