1307 Headless Chicken

g ritual work"He nodded. "It should be successful, it wasn't a big deal to begin with... As for this matter of the medicine being reduced, I reckon you'll have to ask the Great Shaman King, that's the...In July, the gates of hell are wide open, so we should just pay our respects to our ancestors at home. Why go out and retrieve people

Wouldn't this be a bit too coincidental

However, Chen Su Xin's classmates going missing is a serious matter. Firstly, it involves human life. Secondly, in the world of Yin Yang circles, there are codes of conduct and prejudices. Thirdly, she doesn't want to get involved with the authorities.

My brother lowered his head to check his phone and found that there were a few missing person reports about female college students. However, the situation hadn't escalated, and the headline hadn't been sensationalized by marketing accounts yet. The content was also quite straightforward.

"Horse Palm Creek...What's that place I've never even heard of it..." My brother furrowed his brow, searching.

This so-called "courage test" usually takes place in desolate, remote locations with strange legends or unusual terrain. You'd be lucky to even hear about it.

"What's your classmate's name, and what's her background" my brother asked Chen Su-xin.

"Her name is Liu Qiyue. I have no idea where she came from. Anyway, after reading for two years, she hasn't been kind to me. She keeps saying she understands this and that, and we just don't see eye to eye. This time, she insisted on having four people play with the spirit board. When I said I wouldn't participate, she gave me a bunch of lectures. I yelled back at her." Chen Suxin pursed her lips, feeling like she was completely in the right.

According to Liu's family, this female classmate's father was a registered disciple of a certain school. Then he accepted his father's peer as his master, so he always felt that he understood a lot.

Chen Susin is also a sharp-tongued person. The two of them had been at odds with each other over time, which led to this "challenge." Who knew Chen Susin wouldn't show up at all The other party went but disappeared.

This would make the Mu family appear cowardly and unwilling to fight in the eyes of insiders.

"What nasty things did you say to them I don't even bother asking. I know it was some hurtful and vicious insults. Back at home, your family always spoiled you. Now that you've gone to school, your temper has gotten even worse Outsiders won't coddle you like your family does. You belong to the kind of person who doesn't learn from hardship, won't repent until they see a coffin." My brother gave her a scolding and was too lazy to argue with her anymore.

On the other hand, Chen Suixin's mother kept smiling apologetically and pleaded with both heads of household for help. She said that she was raising her child alone and had finally managed to get out to study. If this incident caused her to be reprimanded or even expelled, it would be a waste of all these years of effort.

Chen Susin is not academically qualified and it's unlikely she can succeed in the entertainment industry. She might have to find a social work job instead. If she doesn't have a degree and gets sued, her family will be in trouble.

The old man furrowed his brows and said, "Since the Mu family is involved in this matter, we should still handle it. From a point of chivalry, we shouldn't just ignore it. This isn't the right way to do things... But Qiao'er was injured last night and can't move easily..."

"Then I'll go." My brother shrugged.

"Wait, I'm going with you." There's no way I was letting my brother go alone.

"Your husband didn't say that man was eyeing you last night Who knows where he'll pop up from, you're better off staying home." My brother frowned.

"He's already sent people to look everywhere, and once they find his whereabouts, he'll start watching him. I feel like he wants to follow the clues and find out who's involved." I muttered quietly.

At that time, Jiang Qiyun didn't chase after him, naturally letting Chong Mo escape.

Only after he escaped did I learn about his whereabouts, the people he had contact with, and the pieces he still had up his sleeve.

That Liu student went to a place called Mazhanggou. My brother zoomed in on the map and searched carefully before finding it.

Looking at the satellite map, there is a range of mountains here forming a U-shape. It is probably named after its resemblance to a horse's hoof. In front of the mountain is a terraced field, where there should be a village.

Since I became the head of the Shen family and a special advisor, going out of town has become a daily occurrence.

After hastily offering incense at the ancestral hall, my brother and I left.

The village doctor gave me a hard, shoulder-like brace to wear, protecting and immobilizing my left arm. He told me not to move it around.

“Your left hand has really been through a lot… you still have the scar from being stung by a scorpion, and now that son of Zhou's third son has dislocated your joint…” My brother snorted. “I didn’t expect him to find his way here from that river valley… How did he even manage to find you all the way out here”

“Eight or nine hundred years ago, there was a major disaster in the Central Plains. The world was in turmoil, with foreign invasions and countless deaths. That’s when Bashiba became the national teacher. These small Buddha statues engraved with words were probably products of that era… Back then, the murderous aura in the world was too strong, causing demons to surge and leaving behind many curses on living beings or objects.” I recalled what Chong Mo had said.

Tāng Tāng's family was in trouble because of a small Buddha statue bought online from the Qinghai-Tibet region. It attracted demons who tried to merge space and open a channel... However, powerful demons couldn't come out. The ferocious beast, the 麅鴞, could only show its beak. Even Chóng Mò himself couldn't come out, he could only possess someone.

"So he captured you because he thought you could open the spatial rift" my brother asked.

I nodded. “They think Jiang Qiyun can come and go freely because we have things like a blood pact from a spirit marriage…”

My brother scoffs: "Yin and yang are inherently two sides of the same coin, naturally able to interact. Demons and monsters are just other realms, so there's no such thing as easy access. We hear about demons and monsters all the time, but who knows where their realm actually is"

We chatted all the way, and by afternoon we drove to Mazhanggou. The road was bumpy and uneven, and we drove for half a day on the mountain road without seeing a single person.

At last, we saw a house with a low wall at the edge of Yamaguchi. My brother parked the car on the roadside, and I got out to have a look.

The courtyard gate stood wide open. As soon as we reached the entrance, we smelled a strong metallic tang of blood.

"Whoa..." My brother stepped back in fright, reaching out to stop me from entering the yard, nearly hitting my chin.

From beneath our feet, a trail of blood dripped across the yard.

Each drop hit the ground, covering the entire yard. They hadn't solidified yet.

There was movement inside the small house on the right side of the courtyard. A grizzled man with a scraggly beard, carrying a blood-stained dagger, walked out of the dilapidated kitchen.

"What are you doing" the man asked gruffly.

My brother and I were both stunned. What kind of crime scene had we stumbled upon!

"Big brother, big brother, let's talk this through..." My older brother hurriedly retreated from the yard.

The man frowned and said, "What are you saying You outsiders, if you don't listen to my advice, go ahead and become wronged ghosts!"

Hmm There's something else going on here.

"Brother, are you robbing people and making them human buns" My brother tentatively shouted.

"What kind of human meat buns!" the man roared, "On July 15th, I only killed a chicken for blood!"

Huh

We were stunned, how could killing a chicken result in the entire yard being covered in blood

A man, holding a sharp knife, pointed to the corner of the courtyard. That's when we noticed a chicken with its neck slashed and head missing, cowering with one leg tucked under it, beside the water tank.

I was dumbfounded. Even like this, the chicken could still stand

The man impatiently wiped the blood off his cleaver: "What are you outsiders doing here You can't drive into the mountains at night. If you don't listen to advice, just get out of here and stop talking nonsense."

"You can't drive into the mountains at night...then how do all the villagers here get home" My brother asked, leaning against the door.

The man glanced at my brother sideways: "Who said there were villagers here"

I whispered, "….Aren't you a villager"ical energy directly chopped another man who was getting it on inside the house into pieces. The set for this adult film exploded.These demons and monsters can only deceive people, take advantage of p...
