The strongest chef in the three worlds

Chapter 815 Strange Things
Early the next morning, Chen Yan rushed to Yongnan to meet him according to the location sent by Yun Zheng.

Yongnan is the only city-level administrative district in Dingzhou that does not have trains.

Chen Yan had no choice but to drive there.

The previous road was easy to walk, but after getting off the expressway, the road suddenly became difficult to walk.

An old road in disrepair, full of potholes.

In the end, there were no more concrete roads, only bumpy dirt roads.

Stumbling all the way, it was almost noon before Chen Yan arrived at the place Yun Zheng said.

This is the outskirts of a village.

Further inside, there is no longer a road, only a one-meter-wide loess road.

Weeds and shrubs just sprouted on both sides of the road.

When he arrived, Yunzheng and Ling Yanrong had already arrived and greeted him from a distance.

Beside them, there was a middle-aged man in plain clothes.

The middle-aged man is not old, but he has a beard that hangs down to his chest.

On his back, there are three swords.

From the looks of it, it really feels a bit fairy-like.

"This is worse than the road in my hometown!"

After getting out of the car, Chen Yan couldn't help complaining to the two of them.

"You have been to too few places. We have been to many places that are more remote and poorer than this."

Yun Zheng stepped forward and gave Chen Yan a hug, then pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced to him: "This is Zong Yue, the leader of the group, who is responsible for dealing with things like ghosts."

Zong Yue stepped forward, took Chen Yan's hand, and said with a hearty smile, "Mr. Chen, I have known you for a long time, and I finally meet you today. Xinhui is lucky to meet you!"

"Group leader Zong is too polite." Chen Yan responded with a smile.

Zong Yue waved his hand, "You will be offended if you call me that, just call me Lao Zong."

"Okay, then I'll be your old school." Chen Yan readily agreed, and then pointed to the village in front of him and asked, "Is this the village where the accident happened?"

This village must be really poor.

In such a big village, there is not even a single building in sight.

All are still the old-fashioned mud-walled tile-roofed houses.

It was already noon at this moment, but there was no trace of cooking smoke.

Looking around, there was no one in sight.

However, this village is very similar to Shuimo Village in that it is backed by mountains.

Moreover, the mountains behind this village are endless, far exceeding Shimo Mountain in scale.

From the map, this mountain has penetrated into the neighboring provinces.

Ling Yanrong nodded, "There are 32 people in this village, old and young, who disappeared suddenly five days ago. The local police sent a large number of people to investigate three days ago, but nothing was found. Come over to us."

"We initially suspected that it was either a ghost or a monk."

"There are some evil cultivators who specialize in doing such outrageous things."

For these things, Yunzheng Ling Yanrong and the others still have experience.

"Go ahead and have a look."

Chen Yan doesn't know what's going on here, and it's hard to say anything.

The three nodded and followed Chen Yan into the village.

Crossing the path leading into the village, they came to several houses next to each other.

Police seals were affixed to the doors of several houses, and it was obvious that no one was there.

In the village, it was eerily quiet.

Not to mention human voices, even the voices of chickens and ducks cannot be heard.

I feel that the village in front of me is just an empty shell, lifeless.

Only the crops and vegetables planted in the ground prove that there were indeed people living here before.

Going further inside, it's still the same.

After watching for a while, Yun Zheng asked, "Old Zong, did you see anything?"

Zong Yue shook his head and said, "I haven't seen anything for the time being. There is neither evil nor resentful spirit here. It looks like an ordinary village."

When speaking, Lao Zong frowned.

The more you can't see the problem, the more there is a problem.

The people here were actually missing, but he didn't see the problem, which was a big problem in itself.

Of course, if it was done by some evil cultivators, it would be normal if he couldn't see it.

Hearing Lao Zong's words, Yun Zheng and Ling Yanrong also frowned.

The two met each other with a glance, and began to search tacitly.

Chen Yan and Zong Yue followed suit, hoping to find some clues.

Even just a little bit will do.

At least, give them an approximate direction to follow.

The current tracing method, which is similar to headless flies, is the most frustrating.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Before they knew it, they had searched the entire village inside and out.

They also went in and looked at all the houses that had been sealed.

Until it was almost completely dark, they still found nothing.

"It seems that tonight is destined to spend the night here."

The four gathered together, shaking their heads and smiling wryly.

Although, Yunzheng and the others were mentally prepared when they came here.

But the current result still somewhat disappoints them.

People like them are not afraid of trouble, they are afraid of such clueless things.

This is traced, both energy and time-consuming.

"It can only be done first."

Chen Yan shrugged and smiled again: "But it's okay, we don't have to sleep in the open."

Every household here is empty, and all the living facilities inside are complete.

This may be their only consolation now.

"That's true." Yun Zheng nodded approvingly, put aside the depression in his heart for a while, and said with a smile: "When I was searching just now, I found a lot of wine. Tonight, I would like to ask Chef Chen to make some wine for us. Just a side dish and a few drinks, it can be considered a joy in suffering."

"Not bad, not bad!" Zong Yue clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "I've heard that Mr. Chen's culinary skills are also excellent, today is a blessing!"

"no problem."

Chen Yan readily agreed.

Soon, the division of labor was completed.

They went to get ingredients and wine, and Chen Yan was in charge of the chef.

After the division of labor was completed, several people acted separately.

Soon, vegetables and wine were found.

However, after waiting for more than half an hour, until it was completely dark, Zong Yue came back with a piece of dried bacon.

"Not right!"

Before they could speak, Zong Yue took the lead and said: "I originally thought about going to the mountains to get some game, but after walking around I realized that there were no living animals in the mountains at all! This bacon was hung in the yard of the family at the end of the village. "

"There are no living things in the mountains?"

Several people looked at Zong Yue in surprise.

In this village, they have already searched and made sure that there are no living things.

But it never occurred to me that there were no living things even in the mountains behind the village.

In this way, this situation is really a bit wrong!
Zong Yue nodded solemnly, and said again: "Mr. Chen, go get some food first, Yun Zheng and I will take a look around."

"Just be nearby, don't go far."

Chen Yan warned: "Before the situation becomes unclear, it's better to be careful."

"Don't worry, we'll take a look around the house."
