stop!This is your junior brother!

Luo Shu took the lead and entered the village.

There was no sound in this village, and it was eerily quiet. It was obviously hot summer, when insects and ants were active, but the village could not even hear the cicadas.

The sun was shining brightly, looking into the distance through the air, the things in front of me were distorted by the steam, and the ground seemed to be roasted. Walking in the silent village was like being in a lava purgatory.

Luo Shu raised his head and sniffed, the stuffy air was poured into his lungs, making it uncomfortable, but there was no smell of blood at all.

Luo Shu knocked on the courtyard door of the family next to him, but no one answered, and the smell of burnt food came from inside.Pushing the door open, he found that a pot of vegetable soup on the stove had been boiled dry. [-] put out the fire with wood ash. Fang Shangqing then stepped forward, picked up a spoon and poked in the pot, and found that it was a very homely egg. Flower and wild vegetable soup, there is nothing added in it.

This family is like a village that Fang Shangqing described before, the dishes are still burning on the pot, the tea is still steaming, but the people are gone.

Luo Shu pushed the doors one after another, and every house was like the first house, as if he ran out in a hurry when something urgent happened, and there was no time to clean up everything.

But is there any major event that can make the whole village, even all living things including poultry and livestock, go out without caring about anything?

There are inevitably old people and babies in a village. How do these people with handicapped legs and feet walk?

It was like a sudden escape.

The blue light in [-]'s eyes flickered slightly, scanning the village.

[Host, the village has no signs of life after scanning. 】

The scanning range of [-] is a space, and the signs of life in it not only refer to human beings, but also snakes, insects, ants, and flying insects and birds flying over the scanning range during the scanning phase.

In midsummer, it is inevitable that mosquitoes will breed, why is it so clean here?Even the insect repellent powder developed by Zi Chehen couldn't reach such a level.

Luo Shu listed the possible reasons bit by bit, and ruled them out bit by bit.

Even if it's just missing people, he can still list several possibilities, but the whole village seems to have entered a vacuum, and there is no sign of life at all, which is too strange.

Luo Shu lowered his eyes, and found a shady place to sit at random.

Looking at it all the way, he only felt that everything was weird, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of disobedience.There is no medicine, no mechanism, no bloody smell, and the creatures in the whole village seem to evaporate out of thin air.

"Master, is it possible to use Gu?" Fang Shangqing thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked.

Luo Shu said nothing.

It's not that he hasn't considered this possibility, but Gu worms are mysterious and terrifying, but they are controlled by humans after all.Gu masters need to consume their minds when controlling Gu worms. Even if some Gu worms really enter the bodies of the villagers and control their minds, it is impossible to take them all away. If they control them batch by batch, it will inevitably happen. Riots, these hundreds of villagers are still uncontrollable, let alone all the creatures in a village.

But Luo Shu cannot decisively deny this possibility.

One Gu Master can't control it, so what about a group?

It's just that this Gu master has been hiding in the world for decades, and where did so many Gu masters come from?What is their purpose in taking this village captive?

Luo Shu looked at Fang Shangqing, and was about to express his guess, but saw Fang Shangqing looking down, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Shang Qing?"

"Master, what do you think this is?" Hearing Luo Shu's voice, Fang Shangqing raised his head, his tone a little puzzled.

Luo Shu jumped off his chair and looked over, and found that there were several rice grain-sized soil particles in the corner, completely integrated with the background color on the ground, if not for the "soil particles", except for the section, they would be like pebbles that have been polished by the stream for many years Generally smooth and round, it is no different from other soil particles, and it is difficult for Fang Shangqing to find something wrong.

Luo Shu took out two palm-length silver needles, put these grains of soil on the handkerchief and looked at them carefully, and found that these grains of "soil" were all hollow, like worms that had burrowed out of them. egg.

No, maybe it's the eggs.

Luo Shu put the veil flat on his hand, and vibrated the veil with his internal force. The small and frequent vibrations made the dust on the surface of the "soil particles" peel off, revealing their true colors - white insect eggs.

More precisely, it is Gu worm eggs.

Luo's writing is like sinking water.

If Gu worms are parasitic, then everything makes sense.

Gu worms are the king of all worms, if there are Gu in the village, naturally there cannot be worms in the village.If there are insect parasites, the villagers' poultry and livestock can naturally disappear together regardless of their care.

But this also means that there is a [-]% chance that Luo Shu's conjecture is true.

A Gu worm organization attacked this village.

Gu masters have always been feared existences in the Jianghu. They are as unpredictable as poison masters, they are invisible, and because human beings are naturally afraid of insects entering the body, they make people feel creepy.A few years ago, a Gu master tried to refine Gu with humans, which made everyone scream and beat everyone, until the old leader led several warriors from the martial arts alliance into the Gu master's residence, and resisted with flesh and blood. The attack of the Gu worms ended the catastrophe.

It is very difficult to maintain the harmony of martial arts, but it is not easy to disturb the muddy water.The parasitic knight will swing the knife at his former teammates who fought side by side. He maintains a clear mind but cannot control his body. Once he found that his body showed signs of being out of control, he would simply cut off his meridians and die together with the Gu worms in his body.

In that battle, the Martial Arts League lost dozens of knights before completely beheading this Gu master.

Since then, for a long time, the world has never heard of the name of a Gu Master.

It's not that Gu Masters are too powerful to understand, but that there are very few Gu Masters and they are too mysterious, facing such an enemy can only be filled with human life.

And now, after the appearance of blood Gu masters, is there another group of Gu masters?

and many more.

Luo Shu suddenly froze.

In fact, there is another possibility.

There was only one Gu master from the beginning to the end, and what he thought was "impossible to control so many people" was just because his kung fu was not good enough.Either with the help of medicine, or with other methods, this one Gu master can control the entire village at the same time.

But which one is better, a Gu Master who is so strong that he almost surpasses the entire martial arts world, or a group of Gu Masters?

Seems to be just as bad.

Luo Shu looked at the insect eggs on the handkerchief with a headache, and would rather accompany his big apprentice to meet Ji, a man, than want this kind of thing to happen.

"Ahahahaha! There is a ghost! There is a ghost eating my brain hahaha!"

The three of them were silent, when the silent village suddenly erupted with creepy laughter, accompanied by wailing and sobbing, it was more like falling into a pan of purgatory.

Luo Shu didn't have time to gesticulate and flew up, Fang Shangqing and [-] followed, his figure was so fast that only three afterimages remained.

[Host, at nine o'clock, there is a person 30 meters away from the stele. 】

The mechanical light in [-]'s eyes flashed continuously, and he gave the direction while galloping.

'good. Luo Shu responded, while rapidly analyzing all kinds of things in his mind.

Who is this guy?

Why did you come to Zhouchen Village?

Is his crazy talk just nonsense under the confusion of thinking, or is he alluding to something?

The distance, which is obviously only a few breaths, has been infinitely extended in Luo Shu's perception.

"You're all going to die! You're all going to die!"

"Me too, I've been a ghost for a long time hahahaha..."

In the distance, Luo Shu saw the man.

His body was stained with blood, his clothes were torn into strips, trying to hide his shame, there was a bloodstain under each tear, it looked as if he had scratched his clothes, and he was running towards the stone tablet while tearing Locks of black hair were thrown on the ground, and blood flowed to his eyes, but he didn't realize it.

He walked to the side of the stele first, and suddenly stood still, like a puppet with a broken thread. The next moment, he slammed his head against the stele!

"Uh!" The situation was urgent, Luo Shu couldn't help it for a while, and put his hand between the man's forehead and the stone tablet.The violent impact caused his hand to rub red on the stone tablet, and at the same time, the force of the blow also let him know that this person's impact was revenge for his mortal intention.

"Ghost! Ghost! Get out of my head!"

He struggled and was about to bump into him again, but Luo Shu backhanded his acupoints. [-] stepped forward and held Luo Shu's red hands expressionlessly, took out the wound medicine and slowly applied it until the wound was almost gone. The red marks were all covered, and then he slowly raised his head to look at the person. The person who stopped his body but was still shouting, suddenly seemed to have been hit on the Ya acupuncture point, and he trembled for a while and then remained silent.

Luo Shu looked at his drugged hands with a dazed expression.

Although the blow was heavy, it was nothing to him, it was just redness, and the skin wasn't even scratched, so there shouldn't be a lot of effort to cover it up...

Luo Shu thought so, but seeing [-] concentrating on taking the medicine, he somehow shut up and dared not speak out, always feeling that bad things would happen if he spoke out.

Fang Shangqing saw that [-] was going to deal with Luo Shu's hand, so he didn't have time to study the strange atmosphere over Master's side, and observed this person seriously.

He talks crazy, but there are always rules to follow.For example, the "ghost", "head", and "death" he keeps talking about.

So what does "the ghost is eating his brain" and "I'm already a ghost" mean?

Who is the "you" in his words referring to?

"My lord, ah ah~"

Lan Zhui skillfully dodged the pounce of his left protector, and threw a right protector over.The left protector who was disgusted didn't mind, like a dog who saw his master coming home, he took out a posture to wash his master's face and rushed forward again, but the right protector who received Lan Zhui's signal grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

"You are back, the master of the Pavilion. Thin and thin, the only way to relieve the pain of lovesickness is to see you~~"

"speak English."

"Pavilion Master, quickly approve and offer a reward."

Thinking about the experience of the past few days, Guardian Zuo was really a tear. In the past, it was Lan Zhui who reviewed the rewards. He was responsible for transporting the rewards to various branch offices and managing the affairs of the cabinet. After Lan Zhui left these days, there was no more Blessed by his almost abnormal review speed, Zuo Hufa had to review the reward while wearing a hair growth cream on his head, which was simply unlovable.

"Offering a reward." Seeing that Guardian Left was urging the pavilion master to review, Protector Right could not help reminding him of the business.

"I'm thinking about Lao Ren." Zuo Hufa patted his hair guiltily, took out a bounty from his bosom and handed it to Lan Zhui, Lan Zhui narrowed his eyes after taking it.

"Heh, Prince?" Lan Zhui looked at the reward, which was more like a notice than a reward, and played with the place where the reward was supposed to be signed, without hiding the coldness in his eyes.

Zuo Hufa's head felt cold, and he had a bad premonition again.

"Interesting, I'll go take a look."
