Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 279 Liu Mao’s guess, practicing evil skills?

Finally, they decided to burn all the bodies. The matter ended there for the time being. They could only regard it as a big loss. The opponent was too strong and they did not dare to chase him anymore.

Those onlookers outside the deserted village also followed into the village out of curiosity. When they saw the horrifying pile of corpses, they were all very surprised, and they were also more curious about what kind of person did it.

The Cheetah Gang quickly found a lot of branches and sent people to the city to buy some oil and water to burn the body.

At noon under the scorching sun, a raging fire broke out in a yard in a deserted village, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing.

In the woods outside the village, many people were sweating profusely, their clothes were almost soaked. The members of the Cheetah Gang looked at the fire in the deserted village from afar, as if a fire was burning in their hearts, but they had nowhere to vent it.

The onlookers left one after another, talking about what happened in the deserted village as they walked. There was no sympathy, but more gossip.

No one noticed that there was a bald monk and several people in ragged clothes in a dense forest.

"Haha~ Interesting, really interesting."

The monk was Zang Nian. They had just come out of the Black Forest when they heard that there was an evil spirit in a deserted village nearby, and dozens of people and a group of powerful Taoists had died. So Zang Nian was curious and followed those people here.

Now, it is said that there are two men and one woman causing trouble in this deserted village. This is the result of the analysis of the Taoists who entered the village to investigate, and the people of the Cheetah Gang also think so. Zang Nian couldn't help but think of the mysterious man and woman he had seen in the Black Forest. They had a servant with them, and the number of people was exactly the same.

"Master Zang Nian, let's go back to Kro City first."

The man following beside urged, and although he was a little eager to leave, his tone was very respectful.

There were dozens of people before them, but after they went to the ancient tomb, only three were left alive. One of them was guarding things outside and did not enter the ancient tomb at all, so he escaped.

It can be said that only he and Zang Nian got out of the ancient tomb alive, while everyone else died in the tomb and got nothing back. There was nothing in the ancient tomb except evil spirits and vicious corpses!

This result is so tragic!

If Zang Nian had not changed his mind in time, used those people's lives to hold back the evil corpse, and extracted the blood of two people to clear a way, he and Zang Nian might have been trapped in the ancient tomb.

They came out of the dark forest in a mess, and just wanted to get back to the city as soon as possible, but Zang Nian was curious and followed them to see this weird excitement!

At this time, not only was the man in a mess, Zang Nian was not much better off. His clothes were stained with dirt and blood, which showed how dangerous what he had experienced before was. However, Zang Nian still had a calm expression, as if he had just stepped into a mud puddle and got his clothes dirty.

"Amitabha." Zang Nian clasped his hands together, muttered to himself, and then walked towards the city with the man.

Although this business deal was not done well, the reward still had to be collected. This was also the reason why Zang Nian specially rescued this man when he was in the tomb before.

Although the employer did not dare to withhold the last half of the salary, rescuing one person would help explain what happened.

Zang Nian had just taken two steps when he suddenly turned back and looked at the deserted village in the distance. After thinking for a moment, he took out the formation plate, made a quick divination, and then his eyes deepened slightly.

"Master, what's wrong?" the man asked cautiously.

Zang Nian's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly put away the formation plate, his smile faded, and he said to the man, "Let's go."

The man didn't ask any more questions and continued walking forward with Zang Nian, followed closely by a guard.

……

On the other side, Ning Ji, Si He and Liu Mao had already settled down in an inn and would continue their journey after the sun went down.

Liu Mao was very puzzled about this journey of traveling at night and hiding during the day, but he didn't ask too many questions and just followed obediently.

After the sun set, the three of them ate and then set off again. The guests in the inn were a little curious when they saw them. Most people would not travel at night unless they were in a hurry because it was too dangerous. But they chose to travel at night.

The three of them traveled for half the night and arrived at the edge of the Tianshan Mountains around midnight.

However, Ning Ji did not continue on his journey, but found a place to rest temporarily and wait until dawn to go into the mountains again.

In the woods nearby, there are several groups of people camping outdoors, probably heading for the Tianshan Mountains. In this season, there are often more people going into the mountains to collect herbs. There are many medicinal herbs in the Tianshan Mountains, and most herbalists collect herbs in the outskirts of the Tianshan Mountains.

As soon as the three of them arrived here, the people nearby looked over warily. Seeing that there were only three of them and they didn't seem to have any ill intentions, they felt relieved.

Liu Mao took a torch, picked up some branches nearby, made a fire, and then sat down under a big tree to rest.

Ning Ji and Si He were sitting not far away, also resting with their eyes closed.

Liu Mao only learned tonight about the plan to enter Tianshan. He glanced at the two people not far away, and his confusion deepened. He didn't understand why they were entering Tianshan. If it were just the outer reaches, it would be fine, but he heard that the depths of Tianshan were fraught with danger, even more dangerous than the Black Forest. Many people who entered the depths of Tianshan never returned. There were too many risks.

Thinking back to their previous trip to the Black Forest, Liu Mao couldn't help but wonder, could they be looking for an ancient tomb again? But they hadn't brought anything valuable out of the tomb last time.

Liu Mao withdrew his gaze and thought carefully. He didn't seem to have heard of any ancient tombs in the Tianshan Mountains. Perhaps he was ignorant, but these two people were not short of money. The money they had looted from those people before, if it were an ordinary person, could live a carefree life.

They weren't greedy either. Ning Ji had given him half of the money he'd handed over, which was incredibly generous. This treatment was infinitely better than when he was with the boss. So much so, he had no complaints at all. Besides being controlled by the poison, everything was fine.

If you don't go to Tianshan for money...

Liu Mao recalled what happened in the deserted village, and a horrifying guess flashed through his mind. Could it be that he was practicing some evil skills?

Otherwise, how can we explain the terrifying and eerie aura that appeared and disappeared inexplicably?

The night wind blew, and it was a little cool, which was actually very comfortable on this summer night, but Liu Mao suddenly shivered. He shrank his body, glanced at Ning Ji and Si He, then closed his eyes and rested, not thinking about it anymore.

The second half of the night passed quickly. It was a peaceful night with nothing happening.

When it was getting light, Ning Ji and Si He opened their eyes and went to a nearby stream to wash up.

People who were resting in the distance also got up one after another, and the sound of conversation became more and more frequent. Some were washing up, some were packing up, and some were eating dry food to fill their stomachs. They were all busy.

Most of them went into the mountains in groups to look for medicine, and among them there were also some lone hunters. Compared with the hunters who traveled in simple clothes, those looking for medicine had a lot more packages and horses, and could be easily distinguished.
