Chapter 254 The case of that year
Suddenly, Mei An spoke amidst everyone's silence and waiting.Liu Luo found that she had not spoken for a long time.

Mei An, who is usually eloquent, had been silent just now and rarely spoke, but now he suddenly said: "Everyone has overlooked one thing."

When Yu Wenchang heard the sound, he turned sideways and said respectfully and politely: "Master Mei, you said that everyone has overlooked something. Can you tell me what it is?"

"At that time, there were 31 households in the Taihu Lake area, with a total of 190 people. All of them, young and old, died.

Do you still remember this? "

Everyone nodded in confusion.Mei An added: "These 31 households are located near Jinling, arranged in east, northeast, north, northwest, west, south, southwest and southeast.

Willow branches grow from the upper body of the deceased in the east. The wicker branches pass through the body and become entangled. Dense yellow flowers bloom among the wicker branches.

The smell of yellow flowers was strange, and it covered the body for three days before someone discovered it and reported it to the government.

There were 38 yellow flower cages in total, 38 people died, and their bodies were burned.When it was burned, the fragrance filled the city, and after the burning, the fragrance lingered for half a month.

61 people died in the south. There was a fire in the city. People carried water to put out the fire, but the fire became bigger and bigger. The fire ignited the water of Taihu Lake in the distance.Seeing that it was out of control and had burned across two streets, suddenly it rained heavily, and in an instant the fire turned into a black and dead silence.

A few days later, when the government investigated the identities of the deceased, they found that 61 people came from nine families. There were no other deceased people outside these nine families, and no one from these nine families survived.

At this point in the investigation, the officer handling the case was so frightened that he took half a month's leave without telling his family, and went to Jinling City. He went around and entrusted a few friends who were barely close friends, and scattered a lot of money before entering the Lin Mansion.

After finishing talking about this disaster, he stayed in Lin Mansion for a few more days before returning home.

The next month, news of Xu Shi's strange happenings reached Luzhou, and the locals linked the strange happenings in their city to these two bizarre deaths.

Baihuajing Lane is the busiest alley in Luzhou City. One night, a group of people rushed to the street as if they had agreed upon it. They were so angry that they ran from one end of Baihuajing Lane to the other, cursing incessantly without knowing what they were saying. What words.Passers-by who witnessed what happened shook their heads when talking about the situation that night, "It's scary, it's so scary, haunted by ghosts, haunted by ghosts. Wherever the words were spoken, it was just the sound of howling and screaming ghosts."

The people around were so frightened that they closed their doors and windows. Fortunately, these people did not provoke their neighbors. They just ran rampant, bumping into trees and walls. When they saw the same fierce and manic people, they grabbed each other until one of them fell down and died.

No one knew who the murderer was. The government had been investigating for half a year, but they still didn't know why all these people died tragically overnight.

In the end, the government counted all the dead that night, plus the 27 people who died in the lake in Hezhou, a total of 190 nine people came from 31 families. These 31 families died cleanly and none survived. "

Everyone was silent after hearing this. This incident was a hot topic at that time, and no one knew about it.

It's just that the government has not only investigated for several years and still hasn't found the murderer, this matter has been involved with the theory of demons, voodoo and ghosts among the people, and the government does not allow the people to discuss it in private.

However, there is a rumor among the people that this matter was done by Jing Xianglou, and Jing Xianglou did not appear in Qingxia Mountain just like Shang Wumen.

Jing Xianglou is in the rivers and lakes, but he is not involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

In the temple, he was favored by the prince and had a close relationship with the royal family. It is said that the owner of the mirror building that no one has ever seen, even the emperor respected him as his husband.

The corners of Yu Wenchang's mouth tightened slightly, and everyone's expressions turned uglier than before.

"Master Mei An means that Jing Xianglou killed everyone in the 21st sect of the Seventeenth Sect? Why did they do this?" Shang Murong asked tremblingly.

"Sometimes you need a reason to kill, and sometimes you don't. Some people kill for revenge, some kill for money, and some do it because their anger and blood attack their hearts, so they inevitably kill by mistake.

In addition, what is even more frightening is that there is no reason at all, no reason at all, or the reason is simply unimaginable to ordinary people.

Not for power, not for propriety, not for reputation in the world, not for siege, just kill people if they want to, this kind of talent is the most terrifying.Ruona Jing Xianglou is the last one. No matter how hard we try, we can't figure out what their motive is for killing people, nor can we figure out where and when the 21 factions of the Seventeen Sects offended them. , will suffer such a murderous disaster. "

Precisely because everyone was wiped out, there was more mutual trust and understanding between these more than 100 people that was not available before.

When Meian said this, everyone felt that it was very reasonable.

Mr. Jiuwen frowned and said, "Maybe this matter is really related to Jing Xianglou. Maybe Jing Xianglou has some huge reason for doing this."

"What's the big reason?" everyone asked again.

Jiuwen looked at the Four Saints.The Four Saints shook their heads and sighed: "If this is really the case, is there no other way but to prepare for the battle?"

"Fight? What fight? With whom?"

"The demon world, the water world and even the heaven world."

Yu Wenchang said calmly.

The Four Saints turned around and walked down the mountain. On normal days, the Four Saints would not have said so many words to others. They were also moved by compassion. They also saw so many people died along the way and did not want to see them again. New corpses are added to the mortal world.

Although these people have found the way to the evil spirits of the ghost clan, if they are not controlled by drugs, they will probably become members of the demon army sooner or later.

When the time comes, the 300 million-strong army of the demonic world will set foot on the mortal world, but the mortals will be controlled and turned into puppets to kill each other.

The Three Emperors of the Demonic World will never really die. They have infinite reincarnations, while mortals only have one life, and everything in the mortal world will never come back again.

They disappeared and have been cultivating so far. All they can understand is that they are as ruthless as stone, they will never tolerate evil spirits, and they must protect the people.

Naturally, there are times when they themselves cannot see clearly black, white, green and red, such as the death of Qiu Begonia.

The Four Saints cannot deny that they bear inescapable responsibilities.

But they are only mortal wombs, no matter how deep their cultivation is, how can they be compared with heavenly practitioners.

Heaven mirrors everything in the world and corrects its own mistakes, so they can not only see the surface of things, but also understand the essence.

As for people, the biggest dilemma is that it is difficult to judge clearly what the essence of something is?
As time goes by, one generation comes after another, and one generation gradually disappears. The things that happened, no matter how terrible they were back then, will be washed away by the new history and forgotten by the new people.
