Chapter 169 Mystery
“Li Yue?!” Li Tian was startled when he heard the voice, and curled up on the bed, as if he was stunned.

Li Tian looked outside in horror. He desperately moved his body and crawled towards the corner, shouting, "I don't want to leave! I don't want to leave!"

But the sound outside was getting closer and closer, and a familiar figure walked into the gatehouse and strode towards him.

Li Daoxuan, who was thinking in the yard, heard a noise coming from the gate, which seemed to be quite loud. Thinking that Li Tian, ​​whom he brought back in the middle of the night, was placed in the gatehouse, he stepped over to check.

When Li Daoxuan arrived, he saw Li Tian struggling with a deathly pale face and being dragged away. He was very confused.

"What happened?" Li Daoxuan asked the servant Li Ergou. The servant told him the whole story of what Li Tian had asked about his brother Li Yue after waking up. Li Daoxuan then nodded thoughtfully.

"Li Tian, ​​Li Yue? Did they encounter anything? But I only saw Li Tian last night, and there was no other person. Did I miss something?"

Li Daoxuan was just thinking about it, and after about a cup of tea, he heard the servant come to report that Li Yue wanted to see him.

After accepting the offer, the servant left in a hurry. After a while, a young man in a short coat and pigtails came in. When he saw Li Daoxuan, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Third Young Master."

"What do you want?" Li Daoxuan asked straight to the point. He saw Li Yue looking around with wandering eyes and was very confused.

"Third Master, can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that you brought my second brother back yesterday. Did you notice anything wrong at that time?" Li Yue asked in a low voice.

"Something's wrong? Your second brother fainted in the toilet. This is not something right."

"No, no, no, what I want to say is that I met my second brother when I was relieving myself yesterday."

Li Yue told Li Daoxuan what happened. The only difference was that after Li Yue woke up, he found that Li Tian was gone, and there were only a pile of broken clay dolls around him, which made him feel panic.

"I heard that my second brother is at the third young master's place, so I came here to see him. I wonder if my second brother is okay?" Li Yue said in a low voice.

"Didn't your second brother just go out with you?"

"Ah?" Li Yue's face changed. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Tian's voice coming from outside.

"Li Yue, what are you still doing at the Third Young Master's house? Come home with me!"

When Li Yue heard this, his face turned pale.

He opened his mouth to say something, but ended up just walking towards the door in fear.

Li Daoxuan looked at Li Yue's back and always felt that this matter was extremely strange.

He was also present yesterday and indeed did not see Li Yue.

If there was something wrong with Li Tian, ​​he should be able to see it.

So, who has the problem between these two people?

Li Daoxuan thought about everything that had happened from last night to now, put on his clothes and went out.

The most important thing was to salvage the Yinshui well. He planned to first ask the village chief about his preparations, and then go to Li Tian's house, which might answer his doubts.

Walking in the village, looking at the surrounding environment.

Passing by the center of the village, a tall altar was being built. This was the altar that the village chief decided to build after discussing with him. It was also the altar that Li Daoxuan prepared to use to dispel the gloomy energy and change the feng shui of Lijia Village.

Yu Guangzhong saw a little girl running towards him excitedly, but she was stopped by the village chief who was also watching the construction of the altar.

The little girl pouted in dissatisfaction and left with the adults helplessly.

Li Daoxuan turned to look at the village chief and greeted him with a smile: "Grandpa Cheng, good morning."

"Did you have a good rest yesterday?" The village chief smiled gently. "If you have any troubles or needs, you can come and tell me in time."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa Cheng, when the time comes." Li Daoxuan said.

"After listening to what you said yesterday, it seems that there have been a lot of troubles in the village recently. Alas, I don't know what sin we have committed." The village chief sighed.

"I still have something to say. I'll talk to Grandpa Cheng later." Li Daoxuan did not continue the conversation with the old village chief. He exchanged a few simple greetings. Seeing that everything was being prepared in an orderly manner, he said goodbye to the old village chief and walked towards Li Tian's house.

After Li Daoxuan walked away, the old village chief looked towards the empty corner, and his originally kind eyes and brows turned sharp.

"You must abide by the rules in the village. Those who don't abide by the rules have no need to stay in the village." The old village chief's cold voice sounded.

Then a monk came out from the corner, looked at the village chief and bowed, saying, "Amitabha, it turns out to be the village chief. I am honored to meet you." "When did you become a monk?" the village chief asked coldly. "In this village, you must abide by the rules of the village, otherwise I will drive you out."

"Does being a monk violate the village rules?" the monk smiled calmly.

"You are not a monk." The village chief's eyes were sharp. Even though he was an old man, he still made people tremble.

"I was not a monk before, but that doesn't mean I am not one now. Besides, being a monk or not doesn't violate the rules of the village."

The monk was not afraid at all and looked at the village chief calmly.

"Oh, you're so sharp-tongued." The village chief sneered. "You'd better not commit any crime, otherwise..."

He paused with his cane and said no more.

"Haha, I will certainly not commit any crime. But you, old village chief, don't want that matter to be known to others, right?"

The monk looked at the old village chief with a smile and spoke gently.

Although his voice was soft, it made the old village chief tremble all over.

The old village chief stared at the monk, trying to suppress his anger. He tightened his grip on the cane, suppressed his anger, and said in a calm tone, "I allow you to do some things in the village, but I don't allow you to break the rules. If you dare to harm the people of Lijia Village, I will not spare you even if I risk my life!"

Even though the old village chief tried to control his tone, he still revealed a hint of anger in the last sentence.

"Haha, don't worry. I have no interest in Lijia Village. After I take out the thing that the woman is pregnant with, I will leave. By then, what I promised you will come true, and you, the old village chief, will be reunited with your grandson." The monk said, stroking his bald head and left, leaving the old village chief standing there, tightly gripping his crutches and sighing.

"What sin have I committed?"

Li Daoxuan walked in the streets of the village, thinking about what had just happened.

He just took a detour to Li Tian and Li Yue's home. The women there also looked anxious, saying that both of them had not returned all night.

But he had just seen the two people this morning, it was impossible for them to disappear for no reason.

What exactly happened?
Li Tian and Li Yue are brothers. They have an older brother. There are four siblings in their family, and the youngest is a sister.

Both brothers got married and helped their families make clay pots and the like.

The wives of both brothers said that they went out last night and never came back. But Li Daoxuan brought Li Tian back yesterday and met Li Yue again today. Logically, it is impossible for these two brothers not to go home, unless something happened.

"Wait. In the morning, Li Tian who was in the gatehouse was dragged away by Li Yue who came rushing over. Not long after, Li Yue came to ask about Li Tian again. It seemed that he had just learned that Li Tian was brought back by me. Then Li Tian appeared again and called Li Yue away. But at that time, Li Tian had already been dragged away by Li Yue, and he was unwilling. So, there is actually no problem between Li Tian who was brought back by me and Li Yue who came to find me. What about Li Yue who took Li Tian away and Li Tian who came to call Li Yue..."

While deep in thought, Li Daoxuan suddenly found himself inadvertently arriving at a cemetery.

"I'm not willing to give up, I'm not willing to give up"

And in this cemetery, a strange figure was curled up among the graves, digging the soil and repeating words.

The sound was like a baby girl crying.

"Who are you?" Li Daoxuan asked vigilantly.

I just felt that this should be a woman, but the curled up figure was not like that of an ordinary person. There seemed to be tumors in many places, and the back was taller than that of an ordinary person.

As if someone was heard talking, the voice suddenly stopped all movements, as if frozen, and there was silence for a moment.

Then, the figure slowly stood up. Only then did Li Daoxuan see it clearly. His appearance made him stand there in shock.

It was a large female body, but definitely not that of a woman.

Perhaps, they cannot be considered “human beings” at all.

Nearly three meters tall, it looked like a giant, with a ball of black mud wrapped around its neck and countless heads attached to it.

Even in private places there are heads, some look hideous, some look stupid.

The body was covered with bulging eyeballs and bright red blood vessels bulging and winding around the body.

"Someone, there is someone." Not sure if it was because they heard Li Daoxuan's voice or felt his breath, the heads on the figure's neck all turned towards Li Daoxuan, and a foul smell hit them in the face.

Then, he slowly turned his whole body.
