Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

The monks present used their best skills but were unable to find out the situation in the village.

Master Huineng came out and said, "There is no resentment here, it should be a problem with the formation or something like that."

"It could also be magical power or secret technique!" Mu Xi echoed.

"I sensed the breath of life inside." Liu Yin spoke with difficulty about his discovery.

Others also joined the discussion, but still no definite answer was reached.

"Then let's go in and take a look together now. Do you have any other ideas?" Song Cang asked everyone.

When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything and all agreed to go in.

Mu Xi walked in the middle. When she stepped into the white mist, she felt that the space around her was distorted. Then she felt as if she had entered the territory of something.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a completely different scene inside. The white fog had dissipated, but when I turned around, there was still a vast expanse of white behind me.

Electronic communication equipment also failed at this time.

I saw villagers still wandering around the village, and everything seemed normal.

Song Cang and others were very alert when they saw this scene. Their first suspicion was that this was an illusion, but neither the Heart Purifying Mantra nor the Illusion-Breaking Talisman worked. After struggling for a while, they finally believed that this was not an illusion, but this seemed very strange.

Mu Xi followed the others into the village. When the villagers saw Mu Xi and the others, they just greeted them lazily. Every villager looked very tired.

Mu Xi also discovered that there was something inside these villagers' bodies that was sucking their vitality.

Song Jiang grabbed a villager and said gently, "Hello, comrade, where is your village chief? We need to find your village chief for something."

The villager lazily raised his eyes and glanced at Song Cang, "You guys follow me."

Then he turned around and lazily led the way in front, and the others followed him.

Not long after, Mu Xi and others arrived at the village chief's house. The village chief was also lying on a chair, lazily basking in the sun. After the villagers brought people here, they turned around and left.

Song Qian stepped forward and asked, "Hello, village chief. We are here to investigate the strange things in the back mountain. Do you have any information to tell us?"

The village chief didn't even stand up when he heard this. He said in a cold tone, "I don't know. Go find it yourself."

Song Kang choked when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect the village chief to be so uncooperative. Also, his attitude was too abnormal. He was not panicked at all being trapped here.

When Mu Xi heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked directly the question in her heart, "Village Chief, do you know that you are trapped here?"

The village chief raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Xi, then closed his eyes again without answering.

“???” Mu Xi glanced at the village chief suspiciously and continued speaking.

"Village chief, you look listless, are you feeling unwell?"

When Mu Xi saw that the village chief still ignored her, Wen Yan couldn't stand it anymore and directly put the sword across the village chief's neck.

"You'd better answer our questions, otherwise, the sword in my hand is not easy to talk to."

At this time, the village chief finally reacted, opened his eyes, and began to make up stories.

When Mu Xi heard these words, she narrowed her eyes, took out the truth talisman and stuck it on him. Only then did the village chief tell the truth.

I learned from the village chief that, in their perception, everything is normal for them. They just need to spend their days lazily and don’t have to worry about food. They go to the square to get food on time every day. However, they suffer from insomnia every day because the white fog outside is always there.

When everyone heard the village chief's words, their expressions became solemn. It seemed that everyone in the village had been hypnotized.

People who had medical skills also began to examine the villagers to see what the problem was.

Song Chang asked nervously, "Did you see anyone else coming in from outside? Where did they go?"

"I only know that they all went to the back mountain, and I don't know anything else." The village chief said calmly.

Then Song Jiang asked a few more questions, but the village chief didn't know the answers.

Afterwards, Chi An checked the villagers' problems and found out that "there is something in their bodies that is sucking their life force away, and there is also something in their minds. It should be the things inside that are causing the villagers' memories to deviate."

After hearing this, Mu Xi also started to check. It was similar to what Chi An said, but Mu Xi scanned it with her spiritual sense and saw something like a bug moving inside.

Song Cang said, "Chi An, can you save these villagers?"

Upon hearing this, Chi An frowned in distress. "If I'm not mistaken, the things in these villagers' bodies are like mothers. Once they have absorbed enough nutrients, they will start to lay eggs, and then use the villagers' bodies to nourish them, and finally break out of the body. I have only read about it in ancient books, and I don't know how to treat it."

When the others heard this, the hope that had just been ignited disappeared in an instant.

"I think I can give it a try, but I'm not sure if it will work." Mu Xi said. It's better not to be too sure about this kind of thing, in case there are any accidents.

When Song Cang heard this, he looked at Mu Xi in surprise and said, "Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist."

Mu Xi smiled when she heard that and started to take action.
