"Yes!" Both of them were a little excited and expectant.
No matter what, this was a relatively independent operation.
They understood the significance of this operation.
If they could perform well, they would definitely be valued more.
As for Gu Yan and Lin Yiran, they had nothing to lose. Obviously, Mr. Lu valued the Tang Empire more. If they stayed by Mr. Lu's side, they would also have many opportunities to perform.
"Let's go." Shen Yi suddenly looked into the distance and frowned slightly. "There are indeed many strange things about the end of this world."
He waved his hand again, and everyone disappeared in a ripple.
When they reappeared, they were already in the sky above a low mud house.
The four of them looked down.
With the weak starlight and the eyesight of Extraordinaires, the four of them could see very clearly that this was an old village. The houses were basically built with a mixture of yellow mud and hay.
At this moment, some villagers hurried by with torches. No one noticed the several people in the air.
Looking at the scene in front of them.
The other four people really felt like they had come to an ancient village.
However, although these villagers were dressed in simple and crude clothing, they were not that skinny. In fact, there were quite a few strong and robust young men.
"After all, this world has a certain degree of psionic power." Shen Yi was not surprised. He said slowly, "Rice, vegetation, and even animals have a certain influence. As long as people exercise a little, they will have fewer diseases and live a longer life."
In the ancient times of low-magic or even non-magic worlds, it would not be like this.
Being yellow and emaciated was the norm.
The difference was still relatively big.
The four of them were a little surprised. In fact, the ancient times of their world were much better than the ancient times of non-magic worlds. It was just that wild beasts were rampant.
Their line of sight followed the villagers who were holding torches all the way to a bigger courtyard.
This was obviously different from the other houses.
It was actually made of mud bricks.
And it was obviously cleaner.
At this time, there was a group of villagers here. All of them looked solemn and had a trace of fear.
There were two corpses covered with white cloth on the ground.
"Master Lu, this is already the fifth person." An older villager leaned on a walking stick and said to a young man in white mourning clothes in front of him, "Our Lushui Village is considered a big village in this area, but in just three days, five foreign daughters-in-law have died. If this news spreads, who would be willing to marry into our Lushui Village?"
"That's right, my son is preparing to get married."
"Five lives!"
"Niu Da Gou's son, San Lang, saw it with his own eyes. It was Madam Lu's ghost that harmed people."
“.....”
From the conversations of these villagers, Lin Yiran's group of four basically understood the situation.
The Lu family was the squire of Lushui Village.
Just a few days ago, the old lady of the Lu family fell down in the courtyard and hit her head. She couldn't hold on and died. But since that day, the whole village had a succession of mishaps. Until tonight, someone saw the ghost of Madam Lu in the house of one of the victims.
Therefore, the entire village carried the corpse here to demand an explanation.
Even if they did not see the ghost, the villagers were certain that it was Madam Lu.
The reason was simple.
This Old Master Lu was already thirty-five years old. He had married a few wives, but he had no children. It even made Madam Lu go a little crazy.
The dead people were all foreign daughters-in-law, and they were all foreign daughters-in-law who had given birth.
This was jealousy causing mischief.
Listening to the villagers' narration and looking at the shriveled corpse in front of him, Old Master Lu's body trembled violently.
"S-Everyone." He cupped his hands and said with a trembling voice, "I've already ordered people to invite the eminent monks of the Yunshan Temple. They will be here in a few days …"
"In a few days, who knows how many more people will die in a few days." The old villager hit the ground with his walking stick. "We mean to move Madam Lu's corpse out of the village and to the mountains. No matter what, it can't be left in the village."
This was the only way they could think of.
After all, there were many legends about ghosts in the countryside, and no one knew what to do.
Old Master Lu's face twitched a few times. He was really hesitant.
If word got out that he touched his parents' mourning hall without permission, he might be labeled as unfilial.
At this moment.
Several people in the sky were deep in thought.
"What did you find?" Shen Yi looked at them.
"Sir." Gu Yan was the first to speak. "There should also be evil spirits down there, but there are two similarities with the one in the army. First, the evil spirits that appear have specific targets when they were alive. Second, they will suck the flesh and blood of the living. There are also two differences. First, the evil spirits here seem to be preferentially targeting special groups of people. Second, the evil spirits here don't seem to be as strong as the one before."
The two similarities that Gu Yan pointed out, as well as the two differences, were rather obvious.
Shen Yi looked at the rest of the people again.
They seemed to have nothing to add.
He couldn't help but shake his head and say,
"Gu Yan is right, but there are still some things that I haven't noticed. Feel it carefully, observe it, and get used to your identities as Extraordinaires."
His words reminded the others, and they used their perception abilities to sense the situation below.
After a while, they found the problem.
"The Qi and blood emitted from these people are constantly gathering in one place," Reid said.
"And the degree of leakage varies …" Catherine observed more carefully. She came to a realization and said, "It's fear."
Some people were obviously more afraid, so afraid that they were trembling slightly. The Qi and blood in their bodies were leaking much faster.
Fear urged the ghosts to become stronger.
After obtaining this point, they even wanted to know more.
For example, when the evil spirits appeared in the army just now, most of them clearly saw some extremely frightening hallucinations, and the fear in their hearts was also mobilized to the greatest extent.
From the looks of it.
That shouldn't be an exception.
Perhaps it was the characteristic of ghosts in this world.
"You have to see more, think more, and summarize more."
Shen Yi's hands were behind his back. He saw more clearly than the others.
Qi and blood, although there was such a saying in the scientific field.
But here, it was obviously a mysterious power.
In other words, psionic power.
The ghosts below were converting psionic power like Qi and blood into another kind of psionic power. This was roughly the same principle as the refining furnace.
And at this moment.
The country gentleman, Master Lu, had also made a decision.
