Chapter 158: Forest

Qin Yang waited at the door for a while with Lingyue Sword on his back.

A man with ordinary appearance and wearing a blue robe came out.

"But Brother Qin Yang?"

"I am Zhao Xinmo, a spiritual master of Xuanling Department."

"This time I specially cooperated with you to go to Tupo Village."

The man greeted enthusiastically.

It doesn't seem like a spiritual master with a strange temperament.

"It turns out to be Brother Zhao."

Qin Yang nodded gently.

"Then we will set off first."

"The people from the government office have been waiting for us there for a long time."

Zhao Xinmo smiled.

Qin Yang nodded gently.

This Zhao Xinmo seemed very enthusiastic.

But he always felt something was wrong.

He carefully observed Zhao Xinmo's facial features and some micro-expressions.

He found that the other party's demeanor and posture seemed to have never changed.

Smile on the outside but not on the inside

But thinking that the other party was a spiritual master, he was relieved.

If a spiritual master is not strange, then what kind of spiritual master is he.

The two left the Xuntian Division and headed out of the city.

After driving for more than ten miles, they came to a small hillside.

The official roads and dirt roads here have been blocked by the government, and no one is allowed to approach.

Qin Yang took out his patrol commander card, and a constable wearing a black hat came over.

"I am the constable Qiao Qi of the state government, and I am honored to meet you two adults." The constable clasped his fists.

Qin Yang nodded gently and asked, "Constable Qiao, what is the situation in Tupo Village now?"

"We just came here a day ago and blocked the roads in and out of Tupo Village."

"We haven't seen anyone from Tupo Village come out yet."

"Of course, we don't know what the current situation in Tupo Village is. We dare not go in."

Qiao Qi said in a deep voice.

"Well, how many people are there in Tupo Village?"

Zhao Xinmo asked.

The more people there are in this village, the more trouble it will be.

"According to the household registration records, there are currently more than 130 households in Tupo Village, with a population of about 400."

Qiao Qi took out a household registration book.

Zhao Xinmo took it out, flipped through it carefully, and then handed it to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang seemed to just glance at it casually, and then returned it to Qiao Qi.

"Four hundred people are difficult to deal with." Zhao Xinmo scratched his head.

In his mind, these four hundred people were equivalent to dead people.

"Let's go to Tupo Village first." Qin Yang said softly.

The two said goodbye to Qiao Qi and walked towards Tupo Village. They chatted again in the interval.

"Fortunately, we found it early this time."

"If the people of Tupo Village were allowed to walk out, it would be very likely that greater pollution would occur, and it might spread to Yongning Prefecture City."

Zhao Xinmo whispered.

"Isn't the pollution range of low-level ghost weapons limited to a certain extent?"

Qin Yang was slightly stunned.

"But ghost weapons can also move."

"According to my research on ghost weapons over the years, once a ghost weapon completely pollutes a certain place, it will begin to spread."

"But the speed of spread is affected by the power of the ghost weapon itself."

Zhao Xinmo explained.

"What is the real source of the ghost weapon?"

Qin Yang asked.

He felt that Zhao Xinmo seemed to be really knowledgeable about ghost weapons.

"There are two theories at present, and it is possible that both theories are wrong."

"Just take it as a reference."

"The first theory is that ghost weapons are things born from ghosts and gods."

"The ghosts and gods here are more of a kind that we cannot understand...may not exist in the present world, nor in the long river of history."

Zhao Xinmo smiled.

"What kind of existence is that?" Qin Yang was confused when he heard it.

"How to say it. It is similar to the Taoist Tiandao and the so-called cause and effect river of Buddhism."

"These may exist or not."

"Even if you know it exists, it is difficult to find its existence."

Zhao Xinmo explained with a smile.

Qin Yang finally understood a little: "What about the second explanation?"

"The second explanation is that ghost weapons are born from the turbid air of heaven and earth."

"This is easy to understand, just like the stones on the side of the road, which are things that originally existed in heaven and earth."

Zhao Xinmo kicked the small stones on the road.

"Which theory does Brother Zhao believe more?" Qin Yang asked curiously.

"As for me, I don't believe in any of them."

Zhao Xinmo shook his head.

As they talked, the two came to the highest point of the hillside.

Looking down, one can vaguely see the outline of a mountain village.

"According to the investigation of the Xunming Department."

"This village has not had any contact with the outside world for five days."

"The people from the Xunming Department went to investigate before, but they did not leave this Tupo Village."

Qin Yang said lightly.

As long as he has read the case file.

But Zhao Xinmo has not read it.

Because the other party just came to assist him.

"It does sound like a ghost weapon is at work."

"Let's get closer."

Zhao Xinmo took out a compass and said softly.

The two walked down the hillside and headed towards Tupo Village.

They came to the grove in front of the village entrance.

The compass needle in Zhao Xinmo's hand turned wildly.

"Be careful. We are now close to the range covered by the ghost weapon."

Zhao Xinmo whispered.

"Yeah." Qin Yang nodded and asked, "It should be a low-level ghost weapon."

If it is a low-level ghost weapon, he can still deal with it with his strength.

"Judging from the waves emitted, it should still be in the category of low-grade ghost weapons."

"But it may be stronger than ordinary low-grade ghost weapons."

Zhao Xinmo looked at the compass and analyzed it.

"Then there's no problem."

Qin Yang nodded and walked into the woods.

Zhao Xinmo followed behind him.

The two of them were walking through the woods.

In broad daylight, the woods looked very dim.

After walking for a while.

Qin Yang noticed some dried blood stains on the ground.

There are still two drag marks on the ground.

The picture that Qin Yang could have in his mind was that of something dragging a corpse walking in the woods.

He pointed to Zhao Xinmo.

The other party understands.

Follow the blood trail forward.

Qin Yang finally came to a withered tree.

The middle of this big tree was hollowed out, and there was a huge tree hole.

Qiang~

Qin Yang pulled out the Lingyue Sword and slashed at the big tree with one slash.

Poof!

The big tree was immediately cut into two pieces, and the trunk collapsed backwards.

Zhao Xinmo looked at the tree hole where the light had returned.

A corpse with twisted limbs lay inside.

And he's still a kid.

"Poor little guy."

Zhao Xinmo shook his head slightly.

next moment.

The child's body suddenly rose up and rushed towards Zhao Xinmo from the tree hole.

Bang!

Qin Yang grabbed the child's body with his big hand and smashed it to the ground.

The whole grove trembled.

The child's corpse made a strange scream and turned into black smoke and dissipated.

"Totally infected."

Zhao Xinmo whispered.

"coming."

Qin Yang said calmly.

Creak~

The sound of dead branches and leaves being trampled.

Several children suddenly appeared in front of Qin Yang.

The expressions of these children are extremely weird, their bodies are covered with scars, their flesh and blood are turned up, and they are bloody and weird.

"caught you!"

"caught you!"

These children kept laughing strangely.

Qin Yang sighed slightly, and when he was about to swing his sword, Zhao Xinmo on the side suddenly took action.
