Chapter 125
"The police suspected at first that it was an organized prison escape, and sent people to the village to guard, but we didn't know what was going on."

"In the end, the merchants who returned to Anping Town from other places rushed to the town to report to the town, saying that they saw a lot of dead bodies hanging in a small wood not far from the town."

"The corpse was bloody and tortured so badly that at first the merchant thought it was a slaughtered animal."

"Is it the men in the prison?" Jiang Zhongyi's face changed slightly.

The village head had a gloomy face, and nodded after a while, "It was the men in the prison at first, and when all the people in the prison were dead, it was the turn of the village."

"She didn't let go of any of those who had contact with Zhao Xiangmei. The entire Qian's shop was almost wiped out by her."

Speaking of this, the village chief seemed to feel that he had lost his composure, his tense body relaxed a little, and his voice was no longer so hoarse. He briefly explained to everyone.

It turned out that the village head of Xiaoshijian Village was surnamed Qian.

The Qian family was the most prominent surname in the village. At that time, the power in some remote areas was still firmly in the hands of these big families.

Therefore, what Zhao Xiangmei did back then was acquiesced and even supported by the Qian family.

But when they were questioned by the police, they all blamed Zhao Xiangmei for all their faults, which also laid the groundwork for their later tragedy.

The Qian family was the first to suffer retaliation. In just one month, Nuo Daqian's family was torn apart, and very few people survived.

Some Qian family members who escaped from the village did not hear from each other in the end.

Most of the empty houses in front of me now belong to the Qian family.

"Is it true that no one survived?" Li Lu hugged her body. She hadn't recovered from Ben Fu's death when she heard such terrifying news again.

"No," the village chief shook his head.

Zhou Rong has good eyesight. He looked to the left about 100 meters away, where a temple-like building stood, but like the surrounding houses, it was very dilapidated.

Looking from a distance, the door was open, and the windows that were probably made of paper were completely rotten, and it was pitch black inside.

"Where is that place?" Zhou Rong stopped, then turned to look at the village chief.

Seeing the building, the village head had memories in his eyes, and sighed, "It used to be the ancestral hall of the Qian family. After the Qian family fell, no one cleaned it anymore."

Chen Xiaomeng looked at the Qian Family Ancestral Hall from a distance, thinking that not only was no one dared to clean it, but it seemed that no one in the village dared to approach it.

Walking all the way, chatting all the way, time flies by too quickly.

After the sun came out completely, the bluestone road disappeared, and they walked into a valley.

The mountain road here is different from the previous one from the town to the village. This road is more rugged and tortuous. In some places, several people need to support each other to walk across.

In this regard, the village head explained that no one has come here for a long time, and the original road was washed away by a flash flood, so they had to change to another road.

"How much longer?"

Jiang Zhongyi's physical strength was not as good as that of Pei Gan and Li Lu. After walking for a while, he was already out of breath, and a bloody smell wafted from his throat from time to time.

Leaning on crutches, the village chief, who still needed the support of a dark man, walked a few steps, and then suddenly said, "We're here."

Pushing aside the blinding branches, sure enough, a very huge space appeared in front of him.

A pool of secluded springs cascades down like the Milky Way, spreading between the depressions.

There are many mountains on both sides, and countless giant trees rise up into the sky. Under the background, it seems to strangle this secluded spring between heaven and earth.

Pei Qian looked left and right, and then looked far away. The ridges in the distance formed a line, boundless.

"Strange." He said suddenly.

Jiang Zhongyi was the closest to him, and when he heard Pei Qian talking to himself, he looked at the latter, frowned and asked, "What's so strange?"

Pei Qianli ignored him, but turned to look at the village chief, "Cunchang Liu," he asked, "When did the villagers discover this deep pool?"

"It's too early," the village chief pursed his dry lips, coughed twice, and said, "It must not have happened in the last hundred years or so, it must have happened earlier, but I don't know exactly how long ago."

Jiang Cheng cautiously walked to the edge of the pool, chose a rock that didn't look so slippery and squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the pool water, suddenly felt that the pool water was bitingly cold.

In an instant, the whole person shuddered violently.

He never thought that there is water that is so cold, and it has not frozen.

"The water is very cold," the dark man appeared not far from Jiangcheng. The fact that he secretly gave him a steamed bun made the man's favor towards Jiangcheng greatly increased.

He opened his mouth to remind: "Be careful, if you fall, you won't be able to save it."

Jiang Cheng withdrew his hand, stared at the deep pool, and asked suddenly after a while, "Are there any fish in this water?"

"Fish?" The man didn't seem to understand Jiang Cheng's meaning, his thick eyebrows were twisted together.

This used to be the place where the village executed unfaithful women. Over the past hundred years, the bones of the murdered people inside have not been a hundred, but dozens of them.

What's more, Zhao Xiangmei's bones are also inside.

He actually wondered if there were any fish in such an evil place?

"I don't know," he swallowed, and answered honestly, "It should... probably not."

The water here is extremely cold, even if you touch it, you won't be able to relax for a few days. A blind old woman once came to the village, leaning on a snake-headed walking stick, and she said she had some tricks.

According to her, the water in this cold chastity pond carries the resentment of the dead women, as long as it goes down, it will be entangled by the resentment, and it will never come up again.

The dark man doesn't understand this, he only knows that this place is very dangerous, it's better not to come if you can't, and it's better to stay away from the pool if you come.

This water is ominous.

"Ada!"

The swarthy man suddenly heard the village chief calling him, and after answering, he ran over immediately. He listened to the village chief very much.

It's rather slippery here, so the village chief is probably going to take them to see the stele with the curse written on it.

Jiang Cheng lowered his head, staring at the Wang Hantan water.

The entire pool is about several hundred square meters, and the surrounding water is relatively clear, but the closer to the middle, the darker the color, and the darkest part in the middle seems to be able to swallow light.

After watching for a long time, Jiang Cheng even felt a little dizzy. Many strange pictures suddenly appeared in his mind, and he had a vague urge to plunge headlong into the pool.

He suppressed this impulse, and the moment he broke free, he saw a woman's face in the middle of the dark pool.

When he realized it and took a closer look, it was still pitch black.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his feet, and through the reflection of the nearby pool, he saw a figure appeared behind him unconsciously.

Judging by her figure, she was undoubtedly a woman.

The woman raised one foot, as if she was accumulating strength.
