Crazy involution in male-oriented novels, my senior brother has set his sights on me
Chapter 266 A Village Surrounded by Resentment
When they arrived at the entrance of the village and saw the rising resentment, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing were slightly stunned.
Although I had already judged from the woodcutter's behavior that there was a lot of resentment in the village, I didn't expect it to be so much!
These resentments can only be formed if at least an entire village is killed.
Lin Hao was still underestimating the number.
But Lin Hao fell into deep thought as he looked at the farmers who insisted on working in the fields even though they did not have much strength.
Judging from the people in this village, it doesn't seem like that many people have died.
But why?
When the village chief saw the woodcutter bringing back two strangers, he stepped forward and asked, "Daniu, who are these people?"
The woodcutter immediately explained to the village chief. When he heard that he was the one who exorcised evil spirits for them, the fatigue in the village chief's eyes became much less, and he stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.
"Welcome to our Zengjia Village. I heard from Daniu that you are here to help us exorcise evil spirits?"
Lin Hao said: "To be precise, you are not possessed by evil spirits, but you have absorbed too much resentment in your body, which has led to this situation."
Seeing that Lin Hao could really explain the reason, the village chief became more enthusiastic than before.
"You two distinguished guests, please come to my house and rest for a while. You two must be hungry after coming from afar. I will ask my wife to cook a few of my specialties for you two distinguished guests."
Lin Jinxing said: "No, we don't need to eat, it's more important to resolve the grievances first."
Hearing Lin Jinxing say this, the village chief and the woodcutter looked at each other. They realized that they had met a true immortal.
Lin Jinxing asked: "Have hundreds of people died at the same time in your village?"
After confirming the identities of Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing, the village chief became even more respectful.
"No, there are only about 400 people in our village. If so many people died at the same time, the immortals would not be able to see our village now. However, Zhoujia Village upstream of us was destroyed overnight three years ago."
Lin Hao followed up by asking, "Have you found out who did it?"
The village chief shuddered as if thinking of the tragic scene at that time and said, "No, the government sent people to check but couldn't find any trace of the murderer."
Lin Jinxing asked: "How far is this place from Zhoujia Village?"
The village chief calculated and said, "Our place is a bit desolate, so the distance between villages is quite far. If you walk fast, you should be able to get there in two days."
Unable to get an answer from the village chief, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing went to look for the main source of resentment in the village on their own.
Lin Hao rested his chin on his hand and thought: "Brother, do you think these grievances are related to Zhoujia Village?"
Lin Jinxing nodded and said, "It's very likely."
"But considering the distance from Zhoujia Village to here, even if the resentment spreads here, it can't be so strong."
Thinking of this, Lin Hao's brows gradually frowned.
Lin Jinxing sighed and raised his hand to smooth Lin Hao's brow.
"Let's observe here first and see if we can find any clues. If not, we'll go to other villages around to see what the situation is."
Lin Hao followed his senior brother's smoothing action, his brows gradually opened up and he said, "Okay."
The two of them visited almost all of Zengjia Village, but they still couldn't find where the resentment came from.
But the two did not gain nothing. They discovered that in this village, not only the people were haunted by resentment, but even the cats, dogs, animals, and even vegetables were filled with resentment.
It is very unreasonable that there is so much resentment even though not so many people died in the village.
There are only two possibilities now. One is that the village chief is lying and the village under their feet is the one where the previous deaths took place. The other possibility is that the situation is more serious.
The sun was at its brightest at this time. The two stood under the scorching sun, frowning and thinking about the problem.
At this moment, the village chief followed Da Niu. Da Niu and the village chief each held a teapot in one hand and two bowls in the other.
Both the bowls and the teapots were washed clean and smooth.
Although not as exquisite as those in wealthy families, it is also the best bowl in the village chief's home.
The village chief said, "You two immortals have worked hard. Have some tea and take a break."
After he finished speaking, he poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Lin Hao.
"Thank you."
Lin Hao smiled and reached out to take it, but when he saw the tea in the village chief's hand, his smile froze on his face.
Lin Jinxing also noticed the problem with the cup of tea.
Perhaps people like the village chief who have not practiced cultivation cannot see clearly, but Lin Jinxing and Lin Hao can see it clearly.
In the eyes of the village chief and others, the tea was filled with white mist, but in Lin Hao's eyes, it was filled with black mist, and even faint miserable cries could be heard from it.
Seeing that Lin Hao did not take it, the village chief became uneasy.
Did the immortal dislike the quality of his tea?
Still think this bowl is too rough?
The village chief also wanted to get some good tea for the two immortals, but the whole village had been in this physical state for more than half a year; plus they had spent a lot of money on exorcism, so now they really didn't have any extra money to buy better tea leaves and porcelain bowls.
Lin Jinxing was the first to recover. "Thank you."
Lin Jinxing took the bowl and held it in his hand, but did not take a sip.
He carefully observed the bowl in his hand and found that not only the tea inside, but also the bowl itself was covered with resentment.
Lin Hao also moved closer to observe. He reached out and wiped the outer edge of the bowl. There was still some moisture on the edge.
Lin Hao's fingers were stained with moisture and were faintly covered with resentment.
And the black air dissipated a lot in the places where Lin Hao wiped off the moisture.
Lin Hao circulated the spiritual energy in his body to dispel the resentment from his fingertips.
“It’s a water source!”
Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing spoke at the same time.
Lin Jinxing asked: "Village Chief, where do you drink water around you?"
The village chief replied, "There is a river nearby that runs through the surrounding villages. We usually drink water from there. Not only for drinking, but also for washing clothes and cooking, we use the water from there."
Lin Hao confirmed: "I remember Zhoujia Village is upstream of you, right?"
The village chief affirmed: "That's right."
After confirming the problem, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing prepared to go upstream to check the situation.
Before leaving, the two men set up a formation to drive away evil spirits for the village chief.
Because the villagers have been invaded by resentment for a long time, the resentment in their bodies is not so easy to expel, but this formation can make them feel much better.
The two planned to go and see the situation in Zhoujia Village first, and then come back to purify the resentment in the village.
After instructing the village chief not to use river water anymore, the two left the village and went to Zhoujia Village to check the situation.
When they arrived at the entrance of Zhoujia Village, the two were still confused.
This place clearly looks normal. Apart from the fact that the village looks a bit desolate, there is nothing unusual.
Isn't the resentment spreading from here?
Lin Jinxing said: "Let's go to the riverside and take a look at the situation first."
Lin Hao also agreed with his senior brother's words. When the two came to the river, they finally realized something was wrong.
