The villagers were a little excited when they talked about this.

"I was just thinking about things related to people, and didn't think about the rabbit that day."

"At the time we thought this was a good marriage, so we all went out to catch rabbits. We caught nine rabbits and killed them all at once. We all ate the meat that day."

Because this was a good thing for them, when Lu Zhaoling asked them to think about if there was anything unusual, they subconsciously ignored this happy event.

Anything related to the massacre of the village is definitely not a good thing like adding meat dishes to the meal.

But when Brother Frog mentioned this, they immediately felt something was wrong.

Why are there so many rabbits in the village?

Normally it is difficult for them to find one when hunting.

If there really was a rabbit building a nest in their village, it would have been discovered by the villagers long ago.

Lu Zhaoling also felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

"Is there anything strange about those rabbits?"

"It's not strange," Frog thought for a moment and said, "If there's anything strange, it's that it's quite plump."

"Yes, yes, yes. We can't usually find meat to eat. Besides, it's already cold and the grass has turned yellow. But the rabbits in that nest are all fat and full of energy."

Lu Zhaoling asked them to think about it carefully and there was nothing unusual.

That's what happened recently.

"Then why did you think of building an altar?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.

Frog was stunned and looked at the old man.

The old man said, "This has actually been prepared for a year. Decades ago, there was an altar in our village, but it was very small. Later, there was an earthquake, and the small altar collapsed."

"Everyone thought it was nothing to worry about at the time, so they never rebuilt it. About half a year ago, a Taoist priest came to the village and mentioned that there should have been an altar in the village."

After the old man said this, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

So, building an altar is also a special thing in their village!

“That Taoist was able to point out the original location of the altar, which is where our bodies are now piled.”

The old man's voice began to tremble. He felt that something was definitely wrong.

"He calculated for us and said that the place is a gathering place for spirits and is the foundation of Cuosha Village. We should rebuild an altar there. After the altar is built, the elderly in the village will live longer, the children will be smarter, and everything the villagers do will go smoothly."

Everyone looked at each other.

"We were all excited, and the whole village gathered together to discuss it. We all agreed to build another altar, which led to the following events."

The old man's hands were shaking and he looked at Lu Zhaoling eagerly.

"Is it the problem with the altar? Is it that Taoist who deceived us?"

"Master, is this true? Building the altar is the reason why our village was massacred?"

Everyone looked at Lu Zhaoling in disbelief.

If this is true, they really can't accept it. They originally wanted to do good for the villagers and pray for blessings, but in the end, it brought disaster to the village?

Lu Zhaoling shook his head.

"No, it was a village massacre. What I want to ask is what's unusual. After your village was massacred, someone came here to set up a talisman array to take your souls and prevent your entire village from entering the reincarnation cycle."

It's two different things.

The massacre of the village was most likely the result of the barbarians colluding with bandits to test the bottom line of the Great Zhou. This was their first step in launching an invasion.

But the formation and ghost pit here are another problem.

Maybe there is collusion between the people behind the two things, but they are still two things.

The massacre of the village was Zhou Shiyue's task, but the matter of the ghost pit was hers.

"We are unable to reincarnate?"

The old people were very concerned about this matter and were terrified after hearing it.

Lu Zhaoling nodded, "But it's okay now. I will send you to reincarnation now. Moreover, I will plead with the judge to arrange a better afterlife for you."

They died tragically, so let's take this as some comfort to them.

"Really? Thank you, Master!"

The villagers were extremely grateful and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Zhaoling, but Lu Zhaoling stopped them.

She asked more questions about the building of the altar and the scaring of the rabbits, and then prepared to open the ghost gate and send all the villagers in.

It's not good to keep so many ghosts here. The longer the night, the more troubles there are. After she leaves, who knows if someone will come into the village again and plot against them?

"Master, I won't leave yet." Frog Brother said quickly.

"Okay." Lu Zhaoling nodded.

When she opened the Ghost Gate and sent the entire village into the underworld, Captain Su led his men into the village.

Holding torches, they came to the pit of corpses.

"Bring the torches closer." Captain Su gave the order calmly, looking at them standing so far away, not daring to look into the pit, with a bit of contempt.

"But they are all dead, is it worth it for you to be so scared?"

"With courage like yours, what can you accomplish on the battlefield in the future?"

Everyone could only move closer and raise torches towards the pit.

The firelight illuminated the place, and Captain Su poked his head out to look.

The bodies remained the same.

It looked like nothing had been moved, nor had anything been missing.

The unspeakable stench in the air remained almost the same, as if nothing had changed.

However, he saw some footprints.

There have actually been messy footprints here all the time, after all, they had to carry so many corpses here before.

So, it is normal to have footprints.

But Captain Su's eyes were so sharp for some reason, he actually pointed out several new footprints -

Of course, he was the one who mentioned the new footprints, so others still couldn't see them.

"Who was this person?"

"Captain, there is no one here. These footprints should have been left before." The team leader looked at it and was a little puzzled.

"idiot."

Captain Su cursed and swung his hand towards him with a snap.

The team leader was hit so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

He stood firm, and felt half of his face and head burning, and his ears buzzing, and for a moment he could not hear clearly.

He flopped down to his knees.

"I am stupid! Please forgive me, sir."

He really can't see it.

Sweat was oozing out of Lu Yuan's palms.

Those footprints should be Master Lu's.

He also came in, but Captain Su did not point at his footsteps, but at Master Lu's.

How could Captain Su's eyes be so sharp?

"This footprint is obviously not that big, it's a woman's foot." Captain Su said coldly.

Everyone's expressions changed.

Someone whispered, "Could it be..."

Su Qianhu heard it and asked, "What is it?"

"Is it the wife of a wealthy man?"

Yu Cui.

Everyone present knew Bao Da Hu and Yu Cui.

Even Captain Su knows something about it.

"Does that woman have such courage?" Captain Su didn't believe it.

"Your Excellency, she didn't, but..." someone said, "The wealthy man might force her."
