Chapter 931: Peeling Off the Cocoon

Although Kaoshan Village is not too far from Linjiang County, the village is hidden in the mountains, with only a rugged and narrow path leading to the outside world.

In addition, most of the villagers are surnamed Zhang, and usually, except for the peddlers who travel around, few outsiders come to the village.

In addition to the characteristics of "demon", Wang Chen first inferred that the blood-sucking fangs that caused the massacre were hiding among the villagers.

Therefore, it is necessary to check one by one.

But it is obviously unrealistic to gather all the hundreds of people in Kaoshan Village at once.

There are hunters and people who collect mountain products in the village. It is normal that they cannot hear the summoning bell from a distance.

Wang Chen understood the situation and decided to wait in the village.

"Sir, then you come to my house first."

The old village chief said attentively: "Let my wife make you a pot of cloud tea."

The wild tea grown on the misty peaks is collectively called cloud tea. Because of its low yield and difficulty in picking, it is considered a top-grade mountain product with a very high value.

In order to please Wang Chen, the flag of the Blood Robe Guard, the old village chief also spent a lot of money.

"No need to bother."

However, Wang Chen waved his hand: "I'll walk around the village."

After a pause, he added: "Let the villagers disperse, you have someone keep an eye on it, and if anyone comes back, wait at your house first, I'll go there later."

Of course, the old village chief had no objection and immediately arranged for the villagers to wait at the entrance of the village.

Wang Chen wandered around Kaoshan Village on his own.

This small mountain village is backed by a mountain, surrounded by peaks and green trees, and the environment is quite good.

A row of earthen houses and wooden houses are scattered on the hillside, connected to each other by stone-paved paths.

Wang Chen walked around and felt that the spiritual energy here was obviously more than that in the county town.

If the spiritual energy concentration of Haotian Realm is 10,000, then Linjiang City is only 1, and Kaoshan Village can reach 3-5.

Although it is also a pitiful number, it is a bit interesting for Wang Chen.

You should know that this world has a Taoist tradition. Although it is not in the same system as the fairy world, it has many similarities.

For example, Wang Chen had carefully analyzed the demon-detecting talisman in his arms and gained a lot of experience.

If the spiritual energy in the environment was more abundant, Wang Chen might be able to practice both magic and martial arts!

Martial arts as the main and magic as the auxiliary are also the path of the strong.

When he came to the best house in the village, which was the home of the old village chief, several villagers had already returned.

Wang Chen checked it as usual and found nothing.

But there were still ten people who had not returned.

"Sir, it's noon."

The old village chief said respectfully: "My wife has made a pot of chicken soup and some mountain products. You can make do with lunch."

Wang Chen came suddenly, and he had no preparations on his side. He could only ask his wife to kill an old hen that laid eggs, and took out the mountain mushrooms, bamboo fungus, yellow chestnuts and other mountain products that he had accumulated on weekdays, and put together a table of fairly rich lunch.

Of course, "abundant" only applies to Kaoshan Village. The old village chief is very worried about neglecting a distinguished guest like Wang Chen.

"It's troublesome."

Wang Chen could see the panic in the old village chief's heart, and smiled and said, "It's okay as long as I can fill my stomach."

This meal must be eaten. Not eating it will really scare people to death.

Although it has not been long since he came to this world, Wang Chen has already integrated into his identity. He knows what kind of deterrent power a person with power not weaker than the county magistrate has on these civilians!

And the meal of eight pots and one soup on a table obviously made the old village chief's family try their best. The cooking skills are not good, but the ingredients are good, especially a can of old hen with many mountain products, which tastes really fragrant.

The old village chief also asked his son to go to the mountain to get bamboo wine for him to drink.

There are many bamboos planted around Kaoshan Village. The wealthy villagers pour the homemade rice wine into the perforated stems, and then seal it to let it ferment slowly. The bamboo wine brewed in the end has a different flavor.

Wang Chen drank two bottles, which were soft and sweet in the throat, with the unique fragrance of bamboo.

He thought it tasted really good, so he took out an ingot of official silver and threw it on the table: "How much bamboo wine do you have at home? I'll buy it all."

"I dare not."

The old village chief was flustered: "My lord, I am willing to give it all."

Since the establishment of Kaoshan Village, Wang Chen is definitely the number one big man who came to this village. He did not blackmail like other officials. The old village chief was already thankful, so how could he dare to ask Wang Chen for money!

Wang Chen frowned and sank: "Do you think I am a corrupt official?"

The old village chief knelt down directly.

Although he was almost scared to the point of having a heart attack, he knew that Wang Chen really didn't want to take advantage, so he asked his family to go to the village to buy bamboo wine.

Wang Chen chatted with him at the old village chief's house.

Realizing that Wang Chen was really different from other officials, the old village chief gradually put his mind at ease and opened up the conversation little by little.

Unlike most of the villagers who have stayed in the village for generations, he had the strength of a warrior when he was young. He had been out for many years and had been to many cities.

Later, he was seriously injured by bandits and was forced to return to the village to live.

Therefore, the old village chief has a lot of experience. When he found out that Zhang Xiaoqi's family had suffered a disaster yesterday, he immediately sent people to the county town to report the news and ask for help.

Wang Chen asked: "Have you found anyone in the village who is wrong recently?"

The old village chief thought for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile: "No, really not."

If there was something wrong with someone, he would tell Wang Chen from the beginning and would never dare to hide it until now.

There is no small matter involving "devils". What the old village chief is most worried about is that Wang Chen can't find any clues to return to the county, and if the vampire comes out to commit crimes again, the people in the backing village will collapse.

In fact, many villagers are already panicking.

While Wang Chen was talking with the old village chief, many more villagers came back one after another.

But there was no difference in the result. Wang Chen's magic identification talisman never moved.

As dusk approached, fourteen of the fifteen people who had been sent back came back for examination.

The last one has been missing for a long time!

The old village chief began to feel restless and asked his son to lead someone to find him.

Wang Chen asked: "Who is the last one who didn't come?"

The old village chief hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's Zhang Shitou who lives in the mountains. He is a hunter and often goes out to hunt."

"Oh!"

He obviously remembered something and slapped his thigh: "Three months ago, Zhang Shitou had a conflict with Zhang Xiaoqi's family. Could it be..."

The old village chief didn't dare to think deeply, but Wang Chen stood up suddenly: "Let's go, take me to see this Shitou's house!"

His intuition told him that Orion Zhang Shitou was closely related to the massacre of Zhang Xiaoqi's family! ——

The first update is sent.
