Qiao Chu said before that there is a smell of dead people in the village every day. Since people die every day, the number of deaths in this year must be more than six.

The information from the police station is through official channels, which proves that they only reported this number of people.

More deaths were all kept secret by the people in the village.

Xue Jin was looking at the page on the computer and thought to himself, he thought of Baodongha's way of saying that his parents didn't care when he mentioned it at Baodongha's place today.

When he came to meet Xue Jin at the banquet, he didn't know what he thought of, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Xue Jin clicked the mouse with his index finger, forked off the death statistics page, and opened the Donghe Village census form instead.

The data of everyone in Donghe Village is in it.

There are too many people, and it is very troublesome to find them one by one. Qi Lin said: "Mr. Xue wants to see whoever, you can directly search for the name."

Xue Jin nodded, and entered the name "Bao Dongha" in the search box.

Click the magnifying glass, Bao Dongha's information will immediately jump out.

His information was registered in detail on the page, and Xue Jin glanced over it.

"Bao Dongha, male, 22 years old, born in..."

Xue Jin rolled the mouse and frowned: "Why does the photo above look like a teenager?"

Bao Dongha said that he graduated from college, but the photo on the profile looks like a high school at most.

In high school, the hairline developed, and now the facial features have grown, and they have changed a bit.

Qi Lin explained to him: "The statistical data here is relatively backward. There was an accident in the past two years, which led to the loss of the police station's data. These are all retrieved from backups, and the latest data have not had time to be replaced."

"There was an accident two years ago?"

Xue Jin was stunned. He immediately called up the death toll for the previous two years. Seeing the single digit number of annual deaths above, he tapped his fingertips on the table with his downcast eyes.

Yan Lai Chao said: "It seems that what happened in Donghe Village did not happen recently."

The dragon veins have been injured and stolen for several years in a row, but none of the Xuanmen of Huaguo noticed it?

Xue Jin said calmly: "I'm afraid the world will be destroyed tomorrow, and no one will find out."

Qi Lin frowned and asked, "Shall I tell the people at the Beijing Police Station first?"

Xue Jin shook his head, "The police are ordinary people, so it's useless. Metaphysical matters must be resolved with metaphysical methods."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and opened the column of Baodongha's parents. It showed that his mother died early, but his father happened to have a heart attack two years ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival and died directly.

Looking at such a coincidental time above, Yan Laichao said: "It's so early, it seems that he is the first group of people who know about it."

"More than that." Xue Jin zoomed in on the photo of Bao Dongha's father, put the cursor on a position of the face in the photo, and Xue Jin clicked on the mole.

"This mole is exactly the same as the one on the right side of Baodongha's chin."

Yan Lai's eyes darkened: "You mean..."

Xue Jin didn't point it out, but returned to Bao Dongha's photo and zoomed in.

The chin is clean, no moles can be seen.

Qi Lin slapped the table, with an unconcealable anger on his face, he gritted his teeth: "Stealing the sky and changing the sun... How courageous!"

"What we saw was not Bao Dongha at all, but Bao Dongha's father... The real Bao Dongha is probably dead."

According to the statistics above, his 'father' died two years ago, and the one who died at that time was the real Baodongha.

According to the information, Bao Dongha's father should be 59 years old this year, but he was in his twenties when he saw him in the daytime.

The dragon veins nourished and restored the youth of these disgusting villains.

A guess flashed in Yan Laichao's mind. He took the mouse from Xue Jinshi and clicked on the list of everyone in Donghe Village.

He screened out people under 30, scanned them and jotted down their characteristics in his head.

Xue Jin saw it, and when he finished remembering, he said, "You want to use this to find the mastermind?"

"En, that's right." Yan Lai nodded.

"It is impossible for every household to perform the trick of changing the civet cat for the prince. There should be only a few examples like Baodongha."

Rejuvenation is tantamount to changing one's fate against the sky, even if one borrows the dragon's veins, it is impossible for everyone to do it.

Since this has happened for so long and has not been discovered, it means that the people behind it are very cautious, and stealing the dragon's veins comes slowly like water.

In this case, the stolen power can only satisfy a small number of people like "Bao Dongha", and the rest will not be able to rejuvenate, and with a high probability can only achieve longevity or beauty.

If you can get more power to rejuvenate your youth, then this group of people must be the most deeply involved.

Yan Laichao: "Let's visit the door sometime, and through these characteristics, we can find Baodongha's mastermind."

"And that weird demigod, we have to figure it out," Xue Jin said.

Qi Lin nodded and cupped his hands at them: "This matter will bother you two more. Let's report to the underworld first. If there is any need for us, Mr. Xue can call us directly."

Xue Jin nodded.

Xue Jin continued to look through the documents. He could remember a lot of information at a glance.

After screening many times, the mouse finally settled on the profile of one of them.

Banquet to look at the past.

"Guona Luobu, male, 73 years old, moved from Donghe Village to Donghe Mountain two years ago, lost his wife and had no children."

Xue Jin said: "This person is the only one who has moved away in the past two years, maybe he can ask something."

Donghe Mountain, that is the mountain where the program group digs carrots.

In Taoism, mountains cannot be climbed easily.

Mountains and rivers have spirits, and many gods and spirits like to make their homes in mountains and rivers.

Miao Jiang practiced Gu art, and the whole Donghe Village was surrounded by a touch of aura. This kind of place where both aura and metaphysics are involved should be the most cautious.

Because Xue Jin brought back too many radishes yesterday, today's task was changed to plowing the land, and the place was still at the foot of Donghe Mountain.

He and Yan Laichao followed the trend.

Yesterday, they walked for a long time without seeing an old man, but as soon as the two of them went out today, they saw a few familiar figures under the eaves at the corner.

Wearing blue cloth clothes and silver ornaments on their heads, they are the same old people they saw when they first came.

The three of them sat around on the steps, seeing Xue Jin appearing with Yan Laichao, and the same as before, they stopped talking for an instant, and looked directly at him.

Xue Jin met their gaze and looked over, very frank and fearless, and did not avoid it like when he first came.

When the three of them saw this, their eyes flickered, as if they hadn't expected the current situation. When they looked over again, they saw the two young men walking towards them.

Xue Jin came to them and asked, "It's just the three of you today?"

This question is very abrupt.

The few people have always treated the people in the program group like this, and the people who watch it every time are panicked. The staff and guests have learned to walk away when they bump into them, but they didn't expect the newcomer to be so abnormal.

One of them kept looking at Xue Jin but didn't speak.

Xue Jin was not afraid, and waited patiently for his answer.

The two sides looked at each other without speaking. If there were other people present, they might be scared to death by the weird atmosphere.

They were deadlocked, and finally the old man spoke first.

"...Who are you looking for?"

Xue Jin withdrew his gaze from the back, returned to the old man, and said calmly, "The one with the red scar on his hand when I sat here with you last time."

The old man's eyes flickered, and he didn't answer immediately. The expressions of the other two changed and gradually became a little ugly.

The old man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, as if he was about to die: "...he is dead."

Xue Jin wasn't surprised, he just asked, "How did you die?"

"Sick and dead."

Lie, the man had a ruddy complexion at the time, and he didn't look like he would die of a serious illness in the near future.

But Xue Jin didn't refute, he nodded, and was about to leave with Yan Laichao.

Just as he turned around, the old man suddenly said behind him, "Where are you going?"

Xue Jin didn't turn his head back: "Plow the field."

"..."

The old man choked for a moment, and said, "Young man, poor mountains and rivers are not worth your coming here, you should leave as soon as possible."

Xue Jin snorted: "Take care of yourself first."

I can't predict my own life and death, and I still care about other people's life and death.

Yan Laichao didn't ask until he was far away and there was no one else around him, "What did you find out?"

Xue Jin said: "Those few don't hate outsiders, but want to protect outsiders."

"They seem to be hostile, but in fact they didn't do anything to harm outsiders other than looking at us in disbelief. Compared with those five poisons in the illusion, they are much gentler."

Yan Laichao: "Since they are friendly, why don't you ask them?"

Xue Jin glanced at him and sneered: "Who says they are friendly?"

Yan Lai looked up, Xue Jin said: "Don't report what you know, stand by and let it go... Actually, it's no different from an accomplice."

"Let me guess why he sounded the reminder?"

Xue Jin lowered his eyes: "Probably because he just stood by and felt his conscience was disturbed, thinking that by doing so, he was 'kind'."

"They won't say anything if you ask them, otherwise it won't be our turn to deal with this matter."

Yan Laichao suddenly understood and nodded with deep eyes.

Xue Jin raised his eyes: "Let's go, go find that Gona Rob who has drawn a clear line from Donghe Village."

Donghe Mountain is very high, and the trees on it grow well and are shaded by the trees. After Xue Jin finished reciting the door spell, a winding path appeared at the foot of the mountain.

He walked up with the banquet.

There are animals running around in the mountains, not afraid of strangers at all, even a bold rabbit knocked down Xue Jinshi's lap.

Just as he was about to lean down and push the rabbit away, he heard a slight fluctuation in the air.

The girl's voice was very angry: "Damn humans, they even grabbed my rabbit!"

Xue Jin paused, and looked up. The girl who made the noise was wearing a green skirt, a wreath on her head, full of white hair, and her eyes were like green emeralds.

Xue Jin tilted his head: "Mountain ghost?"

The mountain ghost was startled, blinked his eyes a few times quickly, and shouted: "You, you can see me!"

After speaking, she disappeared directly in place.

Xue Jin raised his eyebrows: "Scared away."

Yan Laichao squinted his eyes, "The soul of the mountain is transformed into a form, the god of the mountain, the mountain ghost, why is it like this?"

Xue Jin stretched out his hand to pick up a wisp of spiritual energy floating in the air, and said, "The power of the dragon vein... She should have been born under the influence recently."

In the form of mountain ghosts, they will choose their favorite creatures to imitate. This is the only chance in a lifetime.

The mountain ghost just now is wearing a modern style, which is a popular style in the past two years, and it should be rigid.

Xue Jin sneered: "Look, just the overflowing spiritual energy can give birth to kind-hearted gods... That mummy has stolen a lot of dragon veins, and now it doesn't even have half a godhead. Such a waste, what kind of god should it be?"

Yan Lai lowered his head and smiled.

Xue Jin said: "This mountain is too big, it is unrealistic to search blindly."

He took out a talisman from his pocket and lit it, then took a hair and put it into it to burn.

The tracking symbol can find the target within a certain range according to the conditions. Xue Jin plucked a hair, and the condition he set was "human form".

"Let's go."

The tracking symbol was floating in the air, flying in one direction continuously, leading the way ahead.

Xue Jin and Yan Laichao walked behind for about ten minutes, when the trees in front of him suddenly receded from both sides, and a small stream in the center meandered down, and there were many animals bowing their heads to drink from the stream.

With the presence of mountain gods, the creatures in the mountains are harmonious and free.

Xue Jin walked across the path, and the magic talisman in front of him suddenly went out, which meant he had found his target.

He turned his gaze, looked around, and paused when he saw the target.

"Mistake, I didn't expect there are other people besides Gona Rob in this mountain."

Yan Lai looked towards Wen Sheng, and saw a small figure standing up slowly at the right end of the creek. It looked like a child.

In September and October, the temperature had not completely cooled down, but the child was wrapped up tightly and was carrying a small wooden bucket, fetching water by the stream.

The place where they stood was in a blind spot, and they couldn't see it from the stream. After a while, they heard familiar waves in the air, and a green figure came lightly.

"Little thing, I told you to take off this thing, wearing it so tightly every day, isn't it hot?"

The mountain ghost fanned the wind with big leaves behind him, and the child turned around, even his face was covered tightly, only a pair of bright eyes were exposed.

He didn't speak, just walked forward.

The little animal ran over and wanted to rub him, but the child covered his face with a cloth, and tried to leave quickly after dodging.

The mountain ghost put his hands on his hips in frustration: "Oh, why can't you see me..."

She chased after her and shouted: "Oh, why are you pushing it, people play with you because they like you... It can't scare people, it's so hot, I'd better pick it for you."

Xue Jin originally wanted to leave with Yan Laichao, but the moment before he turned around, the mountain ghost drew a gust of wind and inexplicably lifted the cloth around the child's face.

Yan Laichao was stunned for a moment: "His face..."

Xue Jin's eyes changed, he stretched out his hand to calculate, and after calculating the result, he looked over there: "It's him."

Yan Lai turned to hear the words and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Xue Jin nodded and shook his head again: "Three months ago, I figured out that I had a relationship as a master and apprentice, but the time didn't come. I only went to save his life and then left. I didn't expect that today is the time."

"Apprentice?" Yan Laichao looked over there.

Xue Jinshi had already stepped out.

A strange wind came from nowhere, and the cloth covering his face was lifted, and the child frantically went to fix it, and when he looked up, he saw Xue Jinshi who was coming towards him.

"Ah." He yelled shortly, and then he was about to run with the bucket in his hand.

"and many more."

Xue Jin stretched out his hand to stop him, but just as he grabbed his arm, the opponent broke free.

In an instant, the person ran away without a trace.

Xue Jin opened his palm, recalling the indescribable touch just now, and his mood sank slightly.

The mountain ghost flew over and was very angry: "Okay, you, I saw a lot of spiritual light on your head, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect to kidnap a child!"

"I bother!"

Mountain ghosts can distinguish between good and evil living beings through the aura on the top of people's heads.

Xue Jin looked back at her and said, "Do you know that kid?"

Shan Gui didn't want to talk to him at first, but when she turned her head and saw Yan Laichao walking towards him, she was inexplicably afraid of him, so she hesitated for a long time and said, "...I know you, what do you want?"

Xue Jin originally wanted Shan Gui to take him to find someone, but when he thought of the way the child saw him just now, it seemed that he didn't like seeing outsiders very much, so he gave up.

When the matter is over and the danger is gone, go find him again.

Staying on this mountain, protected by the mountain ghost, should be much safer than following him.

Xue Jin said: "Nothing."

He said, "I'll see you next time."

Seeing him turn around to leave, Yan Laichao followed and asked, "Aren't you going to look for him?"

Xue Jin shook his head: "Next time, go find that person first."

He sacrificed the tracking talisman again, but this time he had difficulty setting the conditions, but after a while, the mountain ghost came out.

"You need help?"

Xue Jin turned around and called her directly: "You are a mountain ghost, and you are more familiar with this mountain than we are, so please take us to find an old man."

The mountain ghost nodded: "Okay... there are only two people in this mountain, follow me."

Mountain ghosts can distinguish between good and evil, and have extreme personalities. When they see evil people, they will kill and eat them immediately, but when they see good people, they will do their best to help them.

Although she was a little afraid of the banquet and was a little awkward with Xue Jin, she was still willing to help.

On the way, Xue Jin asked, "You said there were only two people in the mountain, including the child just now?"

"That's right." The mountain ghost's character is very pure, and it didn't take long to put aside his prejudice against Xue Jin, and said briskly: "A year ago, there was no one here, and I was the only one. Later they moved up the mountain."

"They?" Xue Jin asked, "He lives with Gona Rob?"

"What is Guona Luobu?" The mountain ghost tilted his head, and then suddenly realized.

"You mean Grandpa Rob, they do live together."

Xue Jin and Yan Lai looked at each other, and he frowned.

If Na Luobu was involved with the evil god, but the child lived with him... Was he also involved?

Guessing what he was thinking, Yan Laichao patted Xue Jinye on the shoulder, and said, "Don't think too much, since he has a fate with you, he is not a villain... That kid looks young , maybe don’t know anything.”

Xue Jin shook his head and didn't continue talking about it.

The mountain ghost chattered and hopped along the way, and Xue Jin made them arrive at their destination very quickly.

"It's here."

Xue Jin looked up.

In front of them was an open space surrounded by lush bamboo forests, but there was not a single weed in the center.

But in this open space, there are many tombstones, they are staggered, and there are dozens of them at a glance!

The front of the stele was cleaned up, and fruit and incense tables were placed on the table. It can be seen that someone has carefully organized it.

Behind this small cemetery stands a small bamboo house, which is filled with smoke, and the door is only half opened, making it hard to see clearly.

Yan Laichao frowned, and when he turned his head, Xue Jin had already walked over and squatted in front of one of the tombstones.

Looking around, the names engraved on these tombstones are all Miao surnames.

He walked up to Xue Jinshi, stared intently at the tombstone in front of him, and then opened his eyes slightly.

"The name... is 'Bao Dong Ha'?"

There are not only Chinese characters on the tombstone, but also Miao characters. Xue Jin reached out and wiped the blurred strokes on the characters due to too long time.

"This should be Mabo Dongha's tombstone."

He stood up, looked at the tombstones around, and asked: "The name you memorized yesterday, see if there is any repetition with this."

Yan Lai nodded and walked over one by one, comparing the names of those people with the ones he wrote down.

After walking around, he said, "There are three."

He read out the two names other than Bao Dongha, Xue Jin touched his chin, and said: "The position of the priest that night seemed to be three people at the front, and that was them."

Xue Jin reached out to pat the dust on the hem of his clothes, and looked at the bamboo house over there: "It seems that this person understands all this very well."

"Then go in and have a look." Yan Lai said.

Step over the tombstones and come to the bamboo house.

Xue Jin was just about to reach out and push open the door in front of him, when the mountain ghost suddenly said, "Hey, are you back?"

When they turned their heads, they saw a tightly wrapped child, holding a bucket of water, standing beside the group of tombstones.

Suddenly seeing the person who was about to "catch him" appear at the door of the house, the child dodged his eyes for a moment, but he didn't know what he thought of, and finally stood there, summoning up the courage to ask: "... What are you doing?"

Xue Jin looked at him: "Look for someone."

The child shook his head: "There's no one you're looking for here...you leave quickly."

Xue Jin asked again: "What's your name?"

Surprised by his sudden asking of the name, the child hesitated to speak, and heard Xue Jinshi say, "My name is Xue Jinshi."

The other party said his name first, and he would be very rude if he didn't say it. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "My name is Nian Wuling."

The mountain ghost was furious: "You bastard, I've been fanning you for so long, and you haven't even told me my name!"

Xue Jin looked up at him, nodded, then turned and opened the door.

Nian Wuling widened his eyes and stopped anxiously: "What are you doing?"

He even threw away the wooden barrel in his hand, spilled the water in it, and ran straight over to stop Xue Jinshi's movements.

But it was too late.

The bamboo door was pushed open, and the scene inside was unobstructed.

The mountain ghost instantly covered his mouth: "Ah!"

Xue Jin and Yan Laichao were standing at the door, seeing clearly.

There was no light in the room, only a candle was lit, and the whole environment was very dark.

In the faint candlelight, one could see a several-storey table in the center of the room, with dozens of memorial tablets lined up on it.

In front of the table, an old man was standing there, with a towel in his hand and his back to the crowd, and he took one of the tablets to wipe with one hand.

Hearing the movement at the door, he turned around slowly.

As soon as Xue Jin turned his gaze, he saw a person's name written on the ranking in his hand──

"Gonarabu"
