The crowd had just walked in front of Chen Qiang when they smelled the strong smell of alcohol and wrinkled their noses.
"Little Doll, the Half Immortal Lord you are talking about, could it be this Drunken Ghost Daoist?" That country bumpkin called Huang Hua pointed at Chen Qiang and asked disdainfully.
Xiao Meng nodded and said, "That's right, this is our Master Half-immortal Jun."
One of the onlookers pointed at Chen Qiang and said, "I've seen this Taoist before. He's a swindler and an outsider. Our Guang Yu County doesn't welcome him so we chased him out."
Soon, another person revealed the fact that Chen Qiang had offended An Ruotian, causing the four villagers who were originally interested in the story to turn around and leave like frosted eggplants.
"Wait!"
Chen Qiang had no choice but to open his eyes and say with a mysterious look, "The Poor Way is indeed an outsider, but he's not a swindler."
The old man who had wanted to stand up for Xiao Meng squeezed in front of Chen Qiang and snorted, "Hmph! Since you say you're so resourceful, why don't you calculate the reason why these four people came to find you? If you can calculate this, we'll believe you! "
"That's right!" The old man's words immediately gained the approval of the onlookers. At the same time, Huang Hua and the other three looked hopefully at Chen Qiang.
They had been in the city for almost a month but had not received any help from the county government. Even praying to the God of Creation was useless. They had no choice but to follow Xiao Meng here to try. It was a desperate attempt.
Chen Qiang stretched out a hand and made random gestures with his fingers. He muttered to himself as if he was really calculating something. In fact, he was communicating with Xiao Meng through telepathy.
"Yes, the Poor Way already knows." Chen Qiang sat cross-legged on the ground with one hand in front of his chest. "If the Poor Way's calculations are correct, there should be cases of people and animals going missing in your village, right?"
Chen Qiang's words made Huang Hua and the others' eyes light up.
Could it be that this Daoist could really predict the future?
However, the old man who had just questioned Chen Qiang curled his lips in disdain. "Hmph! These villagers have been coming to the county yamen to complain more than once over the past month. It's not strange for you to hear about this! "
When Huang Hua and the others heard this, the excitement on their faces was once again extinguished.
That's right, almost everyone in the county knew about what happened in their village.
"Forget it, Huang Hua. Let's go back and ask the villagers to prepare more tributes. I believe that one day, the Lord Creator will give us justice."
With that, the four villagers turned around and left.
"Wait!"
Chen Qiang stopped Huang Hua and the others again and stood up.
"How about this, the Poor Way has nothing to do, so I'll go back with you. The Poor Way can guarantee that if I can't help you investigate the truth of the matter, the Poor Way won't take a single cent. Is that alright?"
Even Xiao Meng and Light Dust did not understand Chen Qiang's words.
Wasn't this causing trouble for himself?
However, Chen Qiang had his own plans.
If he wanted to investigate the matter of Head Zhao, he had to first make a name for himself.
And what happened in Huang Hua's village was a good opportunity.
The four villagers discussed for a while before finally nodding. "Since that's the case, Daoist Priest, come with us and give it a try."
Chen Qiang waved his hand and left with Light Dust and Xiao Meng.
Among the onlookers, two busybodies actually followed them, as if they wanted to see Chen Qiang make a fool of himself and then smash his reputation.
After walking for more than twenty miles, they finally arrived at a small village by the mountain.
The entire village had about two hundred families and a population of nearly a thousand.
Along the way, Chen Qiang roughly understood the situation through chatting.
About a month ago, there was the first time a missing person had appeared in the village.
Following that, not only the people, even some of the animals they raised mysteriously disappeared for no reason.
The strange things that happened one after another finally caused the villagers to panic, which was why they continuously went to the county yamen to report the situation.
However, ever since Head Zhao's incident, Lord Qian was furious because of his wife's affair, but he had no way to investigate. How could he have the mood to care about the rotten things in the mountain village twenty miles away?
Just like that, the villagers were helpless and placed their last hope on the statue of the God of Creation.
Unfortunately, the God of Creation, who had just performed a miracle a while ago, did not pay attention to them at all.
Fortunately, they met Jun Banxian, who claimed to be able to see through Yin and Yang, which gave Huang Hua and the others a bit of hope.
Standing at the entrance of the village, Chen Qiang asked, "Huang Hua, what the Poor Way wants to know is, where did the recent disappearance in your village happen? What did you lose? "
"Taoist priest, please come with me."
Regardless of whether this Banxian was effective or not, since he had invited him over, he should at least give it a try. Therefore, Huang Hua invited Chen Qiang and the others to a courtyard in the east of the village.
"Taoist priest, to tell you the truth, this family belongs to my brother. Their family of four disappeared the day before yesterday. Even the dog that my brother raised at home disappeared without a trace. "
Speaking of this, Huang Hua's tears flowed down again. "Taoist priest, nearly forty people have disappeared in our village in the past month, and countless animals have disappeared. Please be merciful and help us find out the reason."
Chen Qiang's expression was solemn. "Wait outside first. The Poor Way wants to go in and take a look."
Saying that, Chen Qiang led Light Dust and Xiao Meng into the courtyard and looked around.
Actually, with the strength of Chen Qiang, Light Dust, and Xiao Meng's mental strength, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
However, before entering Shang Ku Planet, Chen Qiang had already made a plan.
Since he had come here to comprehend the laws, he would try his best not to use his mental strength.
This was also an important reason why Chen Qiang had dispersed his previous skill.
Otherwise, he could have easily found the missing person with the ability to track them down by scent alone.
However, Chen Qiang knew that to comprehend the laws, one could not rely on shortcuts. One could only use one's heart to comprehend them.
Just like this strange matter in front of him, Chen Qiang wanted to use his own ability to find out the truth of the matter.
Moreover, this matter had already brought a strong sense of panic to the villagers. Since Chen Qiang had encountered it, he naturally could not sit idly by.
In the courtyard, all kinds of farming tools were placed in an orderly manner. Other than the footprints of the three of them, there were also some messy footprints. However, after some investigation, Chen Qiang was sure that these footprints were left behind by Huang Hua and some other commoners.
Judging from the situation in the courtyard, there should not have been any fierce disputes when his brother's family went missing.
After checking around, Chen Qiang and the other two pushed open the door again. Immediately, a foul smell assailed their nostrils.
