After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 452 The Disappearing Light

Wang Mazi still couldn't figure it out: "I know this place very well. I have walked by it [-] times instead of [-] times. I don't know what happened that night. Some kind of ghost came here."

He pointed to the east and said, "Wudou Town is there. I want to go back to Shuangyi Town. I couldn't go to the medicine field anyway."

The distance between Wudou Town and Shuangyi Town is not far, and it is more than double the distance to go around the medicine field.

Even if it's raining, this countryman walks home on the familiar road, how can he deviate so much?

Soon, everyone came to Niutoushan.

"That night, you entered the mountain from here?" He Lingchuan stood at the entrance and understood why Wang Mazi was injured.This kind of valley is also called Rolling Stone Valley, and there are round and rolling stone pebbles everywhere, big or small.When people walk up, it will be slippery if they are not careful.

"Yeah, I just slipped and fell here." The carriage couldn't enter the mountain, and Wang Mazi rode on a blue sheep and gestured to him, "When the wind drill beast comes, I will roll into the bushes over there."

"Where is the lantern?"

"Front, front."

The blue sheep moved forward towards Wang Mazi's instructions, jumping higher and higher among the rocks.

On the way, He Lingchuan found a small piece of torn cloth in the crevice of the rock. It is unknown who had accidentally got stuck here, and the tiger found a few strands of hair on the branch, which was obviously not human.

General Ling came over and sniffed, and said sadly, "It's my children!"

"They did go up."

Finally, the blue sheep stopped halfway up the mountain, and Wang Mazi said, "It's probably here."

He Lingchuan followed up to take a look, frowning.

The place where blue sheep stop is just a small mountain nest, which can only accommodate four or five people at most, and it is still in the open air.When the tiger jumped up again, it was a bit crowded, and it was difficult to turn around.

As for General Ling, it suddenly showed a peculiar skill:
It took a deep breath, and its body actually shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It wasn't until it was as big as an ordinary goat that it jumped into the nest with a light leap.

"..." The Wind Drilling Beast still has this ability?He Lingchuan was speechless, so why didn't it use it in the government office before, but why did it smash the windows of others?
"Probably not. This can't go up to the sky or down to the ground. The light should be on the mountainside."

He Lingchuan looked up.The rock wall directly above is very smooth, and it doesn't look like a human can stand on it.

"But there are 13 of your companions, and there are seven or eight wind drilling beasts chasing after them. How can such a small place accommodate them?"

Wang Mazi smiled wryly: "The officials also said the same thing. But I really didn't lie, Mr. He, I really saw the light here!"

The valley is not deep, and the officials have searched for it, and there are no traces in it.

The tiger suddenly moved closer to the rock wall and sniffed: "It's a bit fishy."

He Lingchuan reached out to pick at the rock wall, pushed aside the blades of grass, and saw a little reflection on the protruding rock wall.

"Some traces of dried mucus."

Wang Mazi also took a look: "It might be a slug crawling over."

There are so many small molluscs in the forest, and wherever these things pass, they will leave traces of mucus.

Other than that, there is nothing here.

The rock sheep barked twice, feeling uneasy, He Lingchuan comforted it and said, "I know, I remember."

Not long after he entered the border of Chiyan, someone came to steal blue sheep at night and wanted to push Tao Zi off the cliff.The two sheep thieves died and the other fled. The one who escaped disappeared after fleeing the cliff, but there was such a slime trail left at the bottom of the cliff.

It seems that the thing that was under the cliff at that time also appeared here more than ten days ago, and took away a dozen villagers and seven or eight wind drilling beasts.

Luckily, if Taozi hadn't accidentally disrupted the sheep thief's plan, his blue sheep would have disappeared like this.

"Okay, okay, this is a business matter that has turned into a personal grudge." It turned out that the other party had already bullied him! "I'll check and find out."

Official and private accounts should be settled together.

General Ling was curious: "How did it become your personal grievance?"

"As soon as I entered the border of Chiyan, the blue sheep was almost stolen. It seems that it has something to do with the murderer here."

General Ling looked at him up and down, suddenly said: "I always feel that something is wrong, where are you from?"

"I'm from Fu Country."

"Such a small place?" General Ling didn't understand, "Why doesn't the eldest son use Chiyan people?"

This old man really doesn't care about the occasion when he asks a question, He Lingchuan glanced at him: "Maybe you can't believe it?"

General Ling was speechless for a moment.

Next, He Lingchuan checked more carefully.

There is no blood here, no broken limbs, not even any signs of struggle or fight.He Lingchuan felt that it was not too outrageous for the officials to designate Wang Mazi as a prisoner.In most cases, the last survivor is the most suspect.

Tiger Jiao Yu suddenly said: "Ask Shan Ze to ask, won't it make it clear?"

He Lingchuan snapped his fingers: "It makes sense, go for it."

So the tiger scratched the ground vigorously, facing the southeast and howling three times.

As the tiger roared in the forest, He Lingchuan felt that the solid rock under his feet was shaking.The forest was immediately quiet, the wind didn't blow, the trees didn't shake, the birds didn't sing, and even the bugs in the crevices of the rocks stopped.

He Lingchuan found that the bronze medal on Jiao Yu's neck was shining again, helping it spread the roar of the tiger wider and farther than usual.

It is an official body, and it may be able to summon Shanze by using Yuanli.

So everyone waited.

Half a stick of incense has passed.

A quarter of an hour passed.

He Lingchuan stood up and patted the grass clippings off his palm: "It seems that Shanze doesn't plan to come."

"The superior didn't come after asking, does this Shanze want to be punished?" Goshawk asked from the side.

With Jiao Yu's voice so loud, it's impossible for Shanze not to hear it.

"What kind of monster is Shanze here?"

"It's a big ground otter." General Ling replied, "Including Niutou Mountain and the official medicine field, the hundred hectares of mountains and forests are its territory."

He Lingchuan wondered: "Isn't that thing extremely slow, and it can also be used as a mountain?"

"You're talking about a sloth." Goshawk corrected him. "The ground otter is bigger than a bear. Its claws are two feet long. Although it moves slowly, it is hard-skinned and invulnerable. I heard that the mountains here have It has been practiced for 300 years, and the villagers have built temples for it.”

When Wang Mazi heard this, he asked weakly, "What did you guys say, but Wushuang Shanze?"

"Five..." The collective name of Wudou Town and Shuangyi Town?These people are too lazy to name, Shanze has no objection? "Probably, what's the problem?"

"I heard from my inmates that the enshrined plaque of Shanze Temple was broken a few days ago."

"Wu Shuang Shanze is dead?" He Lingchuan was startled.

He has the right to speak about this matter. When the old turtle monster in Xianling Lake was killed by the crocodile god, the shrine plaque of the Shuiling Temple was also broken.

Are these sheep thieves very arrogant? They even dare to kill Shanze.

Well, it's no longer appropriate to be called a sheep thief.

Jiao Yu came to a sudden: "No wonder the summoning can't come."

"Does the town know about this?"

Wang Mazi scratched the back of his head: "I don't understand."

General Ling said harshly, "I haven't heard of it either. The idiots of the government are really incompetent!" The corpse was a vegetarian meal, and no useful information could be obtained.

"You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death." He Lingchuan looked at the valley, "How could there be more than two dozen big living things, without leaving any traces?"

In the past few days, he also looked through the case materials left by Fu Shanji.

To be honest, there is not much information.With the research spirit he cultivated in Panlong City, he finished reading it in less than half an hour.

The manpower that Fu Shanji could use was far beyond his reach, so he ordered the counties in the north to make some statistics.

There are no direct clues to the case of the messenger's disappearance, but after such statistics, it is discovered that sporadic cases of disappearance have appeared in various places in Chiyan.

In Dushan County, two people and three monsters were missing.

In Baishanyuan, a demon is missing.

Curry, a missing girl, is suspected to be missing three demons, belonging to the same nest of bat demons.

There are fourteen or fifteen places not listed.

However, some missing persons were marked with "armed fighting" or "already found", which was obviously added later.

Calculated in this way, there are at least ten missing humans, and there are more than 23 or four missing monsters, but they are not very conspicuous because they are scattered all over Chiyan.

Bega's law punishes the fight between the monster clan and humans more severely, and the fight within the monster clan has always been repeatedly prohibited.

It is natural and cannot be suppressed.

On the side of the document, Fushan Ji drew a red circle and made an annotation:
The disappearance of monsters does not necessarily mean that humans are missing.

These words seem to have no beginning and no end, but if you look closely at the statistics of various places, there are indeed places where monsters are missing, not necessarily where humans are missing.

In other words, there are more youkai missing than humans.

Why does Fushan Ji make statistics on this from all over the country?
He Lingchuan didn't quite understand it at first, but when he came here to hear what happened to Wang Mazi and the Wushuang Shanze folding card, how could he not understand?
Including the messengers from Lingxu City, what is the connection between these missing individuals in Chiyan territory?
It's a pity that Fushan Ji was killed by his brother before he could find out the answer.

Wang Mazi also echoed: "Yes, yes, it's all about saying nothing, and I don't know how it happened!"

"All of them?" He Lingchuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Are there any other cases of disappearance?"

Wang Mazi swallowed: "My lord, can you really save my life?"

"The more truthful information you give, the greater the chance that I will catch the real culprit."

Wang Mazi knelt down to him again and said, "You are sent by the Prince's Mansion, please spare me from dying! I will do whatever you want!"

Although the tiger demon is ferocious, and the goshawk is handsome, there is no doubt that He Lingchuan is the person in charge.

General Ling kicked him upside down: "Hey, don't you think I'm not here?"

But it actually has a sense of proportion, Wang Mazi just knocked his head hurt.Otherwise, with its strength, it could kick him to death casually.

He Lingchuan was unmoved: "That depends on your performance."

Wang Mazi racked his brains: "One thing, I don't know if it counts as a disappearance case, but it's really weird."

He Lingchuan noticed that Wang Mazi obviously hesitated, "Let's listen."

"More than a year ago, I heard that a strange thing happened in Zhitian Township, thirty miles away from here." Wang Mazi licked his lips, "People here rarely leave their hometown. No one has heard of this."
