Chapter 411: Resurrection

The voice of a rough man was heard, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

Du Li's face became serious when he heard it.

Swish!

He saw his figure flash, and the long sword on his waist was unsheathed like lightning, and his eyes were fixed on the leopard-headed and round-eyed man who was leaning against the temple gate with a long sword in front of him.

Du Li did not forget to whisper to Lin Chen: "Sir, that man is not simple!"

Of course not simple.

Lin Chen looked at the other party and understood in his heart.

This person is Yan Chixia.

"Who are you? Why are you talking nonsense?!"

Du Li scolded and asked about the other party's identity.

However, Yan Chixia just sneered and turned to walk into the temple.

At this time, a group of people dressed as merchants hurried out of the temple.

As soon as they saw Du Li and others wearing official uniforms, they quickly put away their whistle sticks and said with a smile: "Dear officials, we are all honest merchants."

Du Li sneered and said to Lin Chen: "Sir, these merchants are the most cunning. How can people who travel around the country at this time be clean?"

They were all killed with a stick, leaving no room for them.

The merchants just smiled and dared not refute.

Lin Chen ignored the gang and led Du Li and other officers directly into the temple.

Du Li and others wore official robes, but he did not wear official uniforms, but a scholar's casual clothes.

Yan Chixia looked at Du Li who was respectful to Lin Chen, and seemed to have guessed something in his heart, but he did not say anything, just closed his eyes and rested.

Entering the temple, he saw a mess.

The temple hall, which should have been spacious and bright, is now full of dust.

Not to mention the collapsed beams, the head of a Buddha statue was also smashed to the ground.

Such a place is just a place to take shelter from the wind and rain.

According to these merchants.

They came to Beiguo County to do business.

Passing by Lanruo Temple, they planned to take a break and set off for Beiguo County tomorrow morning.

"But this man seems a little unkind."

The merchant pointed at Yan Chixia and complained, "When we first came, he insisted on driving us away. I don't know if there is any hidden reason..."

This statement can be said to be full of sarcasm.

It was almost said that Yan Chixia might be a robber hiding here to avoid being arrested by the government.

Indeed.

With Yan Chixia's appearance, it is not surprising that he was regarded as a wanted criminal.

Yan Chixia did not explain anything, but sneered: "If you don't want to leave, why say bad things about me!"

He knew what was behind this temple.

It was kind, but it was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, forget it, forget it!

Hearing what the merchant said, Du Li also looked at Yan Chixia suspiciously, wondering whether he should take him down first.

Lin Chen glanced at his subordinate Wolong, and his mouth twitched slightly.

"Warrior, where is the body of the merchant who was killed a few days ago?" Lin Chen suddenly asked Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia opened his eyes and replied lightly:

"In the back room, someone put the bodies there."

Lin Chen nodded and glanced at Du Li, motioning him and his servants to move the bodies.

Du Li's face was bitter, but he could only say yes.

Soon.

Under the ugly faces of the servants, seven mummies were moved out.

The faces of these corpses were full of horror, and their skin was like dry bark, skin and bones!

The merchants who saw these corpses changed their faces.

Good guy.

I didn't expect that I would encounter such a deadly thing just to stay here for a day!

Lin Chen looked at the corpses and squatted down to check.

"Is this foul and obscure smell the legendary evil spirit?"

Lin Chen, who had this thought in his mind, was thoughtful.

Obviously.

These unlucky guys all died at the hands of the tree demon.

In comparison.

Bai Suzhen did not have this kind of evil spirit, but was fragrant.

Cough.

Lin Chen, who put aside some distracting thoughts in his mind, clapped his hands and stood up.

"Are these all the dead?" Lin Chen asked Du Li.

Du Li shook his head: "Sir, I heard that the reporter said there were a total of twelve people, but there are only seven bodies now."

After that, he looked at Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia snorted coldly: "Those dead people were restless last night, and they were all burned by someone."

"Burned?" Du Li was furious.

Maybe there are clues to the bad guys on those burned bodies.

"You are so anxious to destroy the body, are you the murderer?!"

"Catch it..."

Before Du Li finished speaking, Lin Chen patted him on the shoulder, and then he saw his master's eyes that said "Don't talk".

He shut up.

"Brave man, do you know how they died?" Lin Chen asked, pretending to be ignorant.

Yan Chixia looked at Lin Chen in front of him and became interested.

He passed by Beiguo County a few days ago and found that there was a big monster that harmed people.

But he was not good enough and could only stalemate with it.

So he planned to stay in Lanruo Temple temporarily, hoping to stop the monster from doing evil.

Therefore, he also heard about the new capable county magistrate of Beiguo County.

But he didn't expect that the other party would come all the way to investigate the case without paying the respect of the county magistrate.

"I think you are a good official, so please listen to my advice and leave this place quickly." Yan Chixia said earnestly.

As for the merchants, they decided to retreat after seeing the corpse.

Are you kidding? Someone really died in this place!

"Old Third, let's go first!" The head of the merchants said in a panic, and hurriedly called his companions.

But just as they left the temple and were about to take the horses and leave.

A deafening thunder suddenly sounded.

Then, a dark cloud floated from nowhere, covering the sun, and heavy rain poured down in an instant.

The Lanruo Temple was already blocked by the woods for most of the sunlight, and now it was pitch dark, as if it was late at night.

Seeing this, Yan Chixia's face changed slightly, and he cursed something in his mouth, and was about to take up his sword and go out.

Coincidentally, he ran into the merchants who ran back in a panic.

"Strange, why is it raining so hard all of a sudden!"

At this point, they could only wait for the rain to stop before leaving.

Only Lin Chen looked at the back mountain of Lanruo Temple, his eyes slightly depressed.

This was obviously the work of the tree demon grandma.

Du Li acted quickly, found some dry firewood in the temple, and lit it.

With the light of the fire, the chill brought by the heavy rain was completely dispelled.

Only Yan Chixia sat by the fire alone, with a bad expression.

"Gentlemen, do you want to drink some hot soup to warm your body?"

The merchants took out kitchen utensils from their pockets, filled them with rainwater and put them on the fire.

After the water boiled, they threw a lot of dried meat and dry food into it.

Suddenly, a fragrance spread in the temple.

"Gurgle."

Du Li swallowed his saliva and rubbed his hungry stomach.

"Give me a bowl, it's not in vain to eat your food, here!"

As he said, he took out half a penny of silver from his pocket and threw it to the other party.

However, at this moment,

the seven mummies placed in the shadows in the hall began to tremble slightly!

Lin Chen raised his head suddenly and met Yan Chixia's eyes. Both of them realized that something was wrong.

"Not good! The corpses are rising!"
