Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 234 Black Robe
...

Two small bags of glutinous rice were divided among twelve people, and they were soon emptied. Fortunately, these people didn't have too many injuries, and a handful of glutinous rice per person was enough.

After Li Mu looked at their faces, he turned around and inspected these ghouls.

From the dry and rotten flesh of the ghouls, it can basically be concluded that these ghouls have existed for a while, and some remaining bones can be found in the corner of the house. It's the murderous hands, but they obviously don't have the luck of Uncle Sheng's group.

Uncle Sheng and the others thanked Li Mu while covering the glutinous rice. The corpse poison on everyone's body was very little. .

"Didn't you notice something strange here when you came in?"

Li Mu looked at them with a strange face and asked, this place is a row of dilapidated houses at first glance, if the dilapidated houses are not obvious, then these ghouls are finally obvious.

With the smell of dead bodies and this weird appearance, these people dare to live in it!

"Uh... Strange to say, they were all normal when we saw them before, and they didn't smell bad."

Agui looked depressed. He was the first person to enter the village, but he hadn't noticed any abnormalities since he entered the village, and he only discovered the smell of corpses after waking up later.

Hearing A Gui's words, Li Mu's eyes flickered, and he looked at the village again, but he had almost explored the formation here, it was a formation to conceal the eyes and restrict the ghouls from going out.

The blindfold method is only aimed at looking in from the outside. During the day, if someone passes by here, what they see is nothingness. The village will not be revealed until the night when the yin and yang alternate.

Suddenly Li Mu's nose smelled a faint fragrance, he couldn't help frowning, and looked up to find the source of the fragrance.

When I walked all the way to the entrance of the village, I realized that the aroma came from the two lanterns beside the gatehouse.

A silver light flashed, and the lantern hanging on the gate tower broke and fell to the ground, throwing out the candlestick inside.

He picked up the candlestick and put it in front of his nose to smell it, and then smelled a faint fragrance from inside.

"You smell it, do you have any impression of this smell?"

He handed the candlestick to Agui who was following him, and asked him to try it. Li Mu speculated that the root cause of their failure to notice the problem was in this candlestick.

"Ok?"

"strangeness!"

"It seems to have smelled this smell before!"

Agui brought the candlestick up to his nose and sniffed, his eyes lit up immediately, this fragrance could cover the smell of corpses, he vaguely remembered that he had indeed smelled this smell when he entered the village.

"Brother Li! Is there something wrong with the scent of this candle?"

Uncle Sheng looked at Li Mu who was holding the candlestick in his palm and asked. Judging from Li Mu's reaction, there seemed to be something wrong with the candle.

"The candle is mixed with some medicine called rosemary. In addition to temporarily suppressing the odor, this medicine also has hallucinogenic effects!"

From the scent, Li Mu could tell what kind of medicine was mixed in it. Rosemary is a plant that grows in carrion. This plant is usually found in places with dead beasts. There are purple spots on the surface of the branches and leaves. It absorbs the rotting sap of corpses as its main nutrient, so the sap of this plant will be extremely smelly, but when it blooms, the blooming flowers have a fragrance that can cover up its own stink.

And this fragrance can also make people hallucinate, but this hallucination will affect people's perception, thus ignoring the influence of some external factors.

But it also has a disadvantage. For example, people with cultivation like Li Mu can't affect it, and secondly, it needs to be inhaled unconsciously to produce the effect.

Uncle Sheng and the others were exhausted from the journey, and their vigilance became more relaxed when they found the village. They accidentally inhaled rosemary when entering the village, because the smell of rosemary covered up the body of the ghoul. Smelly, subconsciously ignoring the appearance of the ghouls, this group of people will be scattered without any precautions.

After hearing Li Mu's analysis, everyone understood why they stepped into such an obvious trap.

After figuring out the truth, everyone didn't want to stay in this man-eating place for a moment. After simply burying the companions who had suffered, they burned the whole village to clean under Li Mu's fire.

As for the formation here, it was also burned down under the fire, and Uncle Sheng and others warmly invited Li Mu to set off together when they knew that Li Mu was on the same road with them. After all, there is a thigh that can exorcise evil spirits and ghosts. It is also safer to walk at night.

The fire in the village burned bigger and bigger, and the surrounding area was glowing red. Under the light of the fire, Li Mu got on Uncle Sheng's donkey cart and set off to the distance.

"Uncle Sheng, is there only so few people in your troupe?"

Li Mu did some calculations, and with Uncle Sheng himself included, there were only fifteen people in their team, let alone three of them were lost in the village.

"Of course not! There are too many people in our troupe, because there is no theater building where we are going to sing, so the squad leader led a large team to set up the stage first. We were delayed and missed them!"

Hearing this, Li Mu understood why their team was so small. From the very beginning, he found it strange that even Li Mu, who didn't know much about the troupe at the beginning, inevitably went to see some troupes after coming here. Theater performances.

General theater troupes will be equipped with "four beams and eight pillars", that is, Sheng Dan Jing Mo Chou.

Sheng refers to Xu Sheng (Old Student), Wu Sheng, and Xiao Sheng. They all play male roles, while Dan represents women. Maybe just that few people.

After hearing Uncle Sheng's explanation, Li Mu felt reasonable, and with Li Mu guarding him along the way, Agui and the others also eliminated a lot of their previous fear.

The donkey cart was carrying people and boxes to move forward, and the wheels left a deep car mark on the road under the weight of the squeeze.

In another place, a person cross-legged on a futon suddenly opened his eyes, and the candle beside him was about to burn out, leaving only a handful of small flames struggling.

I saw this man getting up from the futon, and when he passed the hanger, he covered his body with the robe on top, the wind blowing from the hem of the clothes blew out the last flame, and the room fell into darkness again, only the gradual The sound of walking away.

……

And the village that Li Mu set aflame, finally burned everything that could be burned in the village when the sky was slightly bright. A man in a black robe squatted on the ground and reached out to touch the marks left by the donkey cart in silence.

　I changed it three times... I don't know how
