The woman in the white dress finally put away the hammer, picked up the statue that she had smashed into a twisted shape, and left.

As she was leaving, the tall female official noticed that the other party had been staring at her, and she felt uneasy.

Because of the other person's eyes, it was as if I was looking at a dead person.

Fortunately, the strange woman finally left, and the tall female official finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lao Tian next to me didn't move, perhaps because he was scared or for some other reason.

The tall female officer couldn't help but ask, "Lao Tian, ​​what are you looking at?"

At this moment, the tall female official suddenly trembled all over because she found something grabbing her ankle.

Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and with trembling left hand, she pointed the lantern downwards.

This photo frightened her so much that she sat down on the ground, screaming and trying to escape.

But there's no escape.

The one who grabbed her ankle was the iron statue that had been smashed and full of holes.

I saw the iron statue lying on the ground with its mouth wide open and blood constantly flowing out of it.

It seemed to be saying, "Why didn't you save me just now?"

Chapter 3: Cannibalism (Part )

At noon the next day, the entire Xiangyun City was filled with rumors.

It is said that the bodies of two police officers appeared in the woods outside the city last night. Their bodies were full of holes caused by some blunt objects, but the strange thing was that the flesh on their bodies did not break, but remained intact, as if the bodies that were smashed like this were not human bodies, but some kind of metal.

Of course, there are even more terrifying things happening.

That is, the husband of Wang Luoli, the dyeing master at Caiyunfang, died, and Wang Luoli was so scared that she almost went crazy.

There were rumors that when her husband was carried out, not a single bone in his body was intact. From a distance, he looked like a pile of flesh and blood in a skin bag, which looked very scary.

Such an incident naturally caused great panic, but the government quickly came forward and said that these were all rumors. Wang Liluo's husband accidentally fell to his death, and the two night patrol officers were just drunk and encountered a wild beast when they went out.

But such a lie obviously cannot be concealed for long.

There have been no wild animals outside Xiangyun City for a long time. In particular, many people have seen the body of Wang Liluo's husband, and he definitely did not die from a fall.

How could a person fall so hard that all the bones in his body would be broken like that?

Faced with such a terrible thing, the officials of Xiangyun City could only seek help from the military and practitioners.

The spiritual sect responsible for the safety of this place is a Taoist temple called "Bishui Temple" in Xiangshan. The entire temple has always kept a low profile.

However, when people from the imperial court went to the Bishui Temple to ask the practitioners there for help, they found that the temple was already deserted, with only more than ten strange iron statues left.

Each of these iron statues is skinny, has a big head and no hair. From a distance, they look like evil spirits that have been burned by fire.

In particular, their eyes are very strange and deep, like the abyss, but also full of emotions as if they were living people.

Anyone who takes one look at it will get goosebumps all over their body.

After seeing this scene, the people in the court were naturally frightened.

In recent years, there have been some strange rumors from time to time, but they didn’t really take them too seriously. After all, Xiangyun City has always been stable.

In the words of the city guards, "Trust the emperor, and all evil spirits will retreat."

Only after something strange happened did these people realize how terrifying it was.

It was difficult for them to stop people from leaving the city, but what was even more terrifying was that all the carrier pigeons they released and the people they sent out to report the news never returned.

You should know that although Xiangyun City is not big, its cloth is famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and there have always been many merchants coming and going.

But after the strange thing happened, many people realized that no outsiders had come to the city to buy cloth for a long time.

Some of those who went out lost contact, while the bodies of others were found outside the city.

The corpses were naturally dealt with quickly because they were all full of holes, just like the two officers before.

Panic spread throughout the city. It was said that Wang Liluo had gone mad, constantly shouting "eyes, eyes..."

Wang Liluo loves her husband very much and she has put a lot of effort into pursuing him.

It is said that when the police entered Wang Liluo's home, Wang Liluo was trying to put her husband's eye back in place.

But with Wang Liluo's husband's bones broken like that, there was no eye socket left.

……

After discovering that people outside could not get in and people inside would die if they went out, the defenders of Xiangyun City could only hold on and wait for help.

Xiangyun City at the foot of the mountain was once bustling and full of people, but now it is like a piece of meat that will disappear as soon as a monster opens its mouth.

The doors of every household were closed and there was no one on the streets. At first glance, it looked like a dead city.

In order to avoid major chaos, the imperial court sent people to patrol the streets every day, day and night.

But ten days later, people still died.

The cause of death was the same as Wang Liluo's husband, with all the bones in his body broken.

After this incident, the court's lies were naturally exposed.

Many people wanted to leave the city, but the experienced city guard said directly, "The murderer was an evil cultivator with a sledgehammer. If you leave the city, you will be more likely to be killed. If you want to leave, I will not stop you."

As she said this, she ordered people to open the city gate.

Thinking that there might be murderous demons waiting for them outside, the residents of the city naturally no longer dared to leave.

The city guard comforted everyone, saying, "The imperial court has already sent people over, and they're on their way. When the Black Armor Army takes action, all evil cultivators will be killed."

After hearing that the Black Armor Army would be coming, the residents of the city felt somewhat relieved.

But only the city defenders knew that this was just a delaying tactic.

No one knows where the carrier pigeons and the messengers went.

If she lets this matter continue, she might not be able to bear it.

……

There were still many carriages parked on the avenue leading to Xiangyun City.

Only the carriage was still there, and the cloth that was originally intended to be shipped was still there, but the people and horses were gone.

The fog that had appeared in Xiangshan at some point had gradually spread to the outskirts of Xiangyun City.

This fog only appears in Xiangyun City at night, but it never dissipates on the road outside the city.

The people sent by the city guards looked at the fog from afar and did not dare to go deeper, so they could only go back to report.

But when they were about to go back, they found themselves lost in the fog.

This fog can eat people!

……

When the fog in Xiangyun City began to eat people, a lovely girl in a blue gauze skirt was on her way to Xiangyun City.

She did not ride a horse or take a car, but walked.

She had walked a long way from the north to here, but the road was very clean, giving people a feeling of being untainted by dust.

But the thing wrapped in thick cloth on the girl's back looked a little strange, like a spear, and also like a stick.

So naturally, many people wanted to know what was wrapped in the cloth.

Especially when encountering checkpoints, the girl had to open the thick cloth every time. When those people found a golden Zen staff inside, they couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Amitabha."

In this world, nuns are not to be messed with.

Gu Xiaoxiao initially wanted to explain that she was not a nun who practiced Buddhism with her hair uncut, but she was too lazy to say more later.

Many times, Gu Xiaoxiao would hold the staff and sigh, "I'm a disciple of the Sword Sect, why do I need to carry a staff like you? In my brother's words, it's simply idiotic."

Naturally, the Zen stick did not respond, and Gu Xiaoxiao could only sigh to herself.

During these five years, her realm has made rapid progress, just as Gu Jiu said.

During these five years, Gu Xiaoxiao only met Gu Jiu once during the Chinese New Year. Gu Xiaoxiao discovered that in addition to being teased by Gu Jiu, she also received Gu Jiu's guidance when they met.

Those instructions may seem casual, but they are actually very crucial every time.

So at this time, Gu Xiaoxiao had already stood at the threshold of the Moving Mountains Realm.

She felt that she needed to go out for a walk to see through the clouds and mist on the mountain, so she set off.

Gu Xiaoxiao, who was born with a love for beauty, went to Jiangnan as her first stop after passing the Yinshan Tunnel.

Xiangyun City in Jiangnan is the top priority of her itinerary.

Because the cloth in the city is famous in the south of the Yangtze River, she likes beautiful clothes very much.

But when she approached Xiangyun City, she always felt something strange.

Yes, there were far fewer people around than she had imagined.

(PS: My eyes are a little uncomfortable looking at the screen, so I will only update three times today and four times tomorrow.)

Chapter 4 Two Tongues (First Update)

Along the way, Gu Xiaoxiao also witnessed the hazy rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's very beautiful, and has a very down-to-earth feel.

Especially at dusk, the travelers under the weeping willows, the pleasure boats in the sunset, and the curling smoke from cooking fires are just like in a painting.

So Gu Xiaoxiao was in a good mood along the way.

Ever since she inherited the Buddha statue, Gu Xiaoxiao found that she liked walking more and more. For her, walking was not a burden but a pleasure.

However, when she approached the Xiangyun City she had been looking forward to for a long time, Gu Xiaoxiao discovered that the atmosphere around her had changed significantly.

There was fog ahead, but it was no longer the mist she had seen before.

The mist seemed dark and thick, and even faintly revealed a hint of decadence.

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and found a tea shop in front of her.

The tea shop was deserted, with only a hunchbacked old woman busying around there.

Gu Xiaoxiao walked over and said, "Old lady, give me a cup of tea."

Gu Xiaoxiao only heard the old woman making a series of "uh uh" sounds, and then she realized that she was actually a mute.

Not only is he mute, he is also blind.

The other person's eye sockets were empty, with nothing in them. It was quite scary at first glance.

Especially in this place where there is no village or shop nearby, it always makes people feel scared.

The tea was served quickly and Gu Xiaoxiao quickly expressed her gratitude.

The tea was boiling hot. Gu Xiaoxiao blew on it and started drinking it.

You know, although this place is shabby, the tea tastes pretty good.

Gu Xiaoxiao discovered that the old woman was blind and mute, but her hands and feet were very nimble.

Before, making tea for her was just like serving tea to a normal person.

Thinking that this old woman relies on this tea shop to make a living, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling sad.

Gu Xiaoxiao drank this pot of tea for half an hour. At this time, five or six people dressed as businessmen came to the tea shop.

These merchants naturally talked about the strange fog.

According to them, there has never been such heavy fog in Xiangyun City.

After drinking the tea, Gu Xiaoxiao gave the old man an extra ingot of silver and continued on his way.

Gu Xiaoxiao, who was walking in front, did not notice that the old woman holding the silver in her hand was mumbling something in the direction she left, and looked a little anxious.

On the official road to Xiangyun City, she could initially see a few scattered carriages and some people, but halfway through, perhaps because the fog blocked her vision or for some other reason, Gu Xiaoxiao found that there was no one in front or behind her.

On this straight and wide official road, Gu Xiaoxiao walked out of the strange smell.

She even stood on the road and waited for a while, but still no one came.
