My Lady Is Not A Demon

A fire broke out in Wuchen Village nine years ago.

All 196 villagers died!

As the most orthodox village of the Yiyuan people, from the very beginning to the worship of the goddess of Wuma and then to the god of water, this village is always shrouded in a mysterious veil.

What happened in this village nine years ago?

Nobody knows.

It seems to be deliberately hidden by a pair of invisible big hands, letting the truth be buried in the coffin forever.

But the only certainty is that the village is no longer there.

All the villagers died.

But now the old man in front of him told him that the village he had just visited was a clean village? Chen Mu was really dumbfounded at this moment.

There seemed to be a layer of ice scum seeping into his skin, shaking with cold.

Since it is a clean village...

What happened to the deaf old lady?

What happened to the children playing in the courtyard?

What's the matter with that girl named Yaya?

…

Is everything an illusion?

The old man wiped the mud stains on his hands and said mysteriously: "Guardian, the dust-free village disappeared as early as nine years ago. It's in that mountain. It's hard for ordinary people to find it. You shouldn't be. …Have been a nightmare."

The old man's so-called "nightmare" is similar to ghosts hitting the wall or ecstasy.

Let people enter a specific illusion and see the dead.

Chen Mu was silent.

He also carries the Bixie beads given to him by Yun Zhiyue, which can break through ordinary nightmare illusions.

But why didn't it work in Wuchen Village?

Could it be that illusion is very powerful?

Depressing the doubts in his heart, Chen Mu looked at the old man in front of him and said: "Today I came to Jixi Village to ask something about your riot six years ago."

The old man was stunned and waved his hands nervously and said, "It's been so long, it has nothing to do with me, sir. At that time, the old man, I misunderstood the wild mushroom and lay on the bed for several days. Who knew that the villagers suddenly went to the county office to kill people. Now, it really has nothing to do with me..."

That case had passed so long that the old man was still alive.

Suffice to say that he really has nothing to do with the riot case.

Don't even know the inside story.

Otherwise, there will be a real conspiracy, and the people behind the scenes will not let him live until now.

But what Chen Mu wanted was some specific information back then, even if the old man didn't know the inside story, he could always provide something.

Even the slightest clue is fine.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. After so many years, do you think the government still needs to arrest you? Just ask about the situation."

Hearing Chen Mu's words, the old man felt relieved."What's your name."

Chen Mu asked.

"The old man is called Yuan Laogua, you can call me Laogua." The old man rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly.

After all, this name is a bit too skinny.

Chen Mu nodded: "Let me ask you me, how many people are left in this village?"

"There are not many. Since the riot six years ago, the dead died and the people who left have left. The rest are either old, weak, sick, or there is really no place to go. Look at this village. Can people live?"

The elder Gua shook his head and sighed.

Chen Mu glanced at the cowshed and the scrawny cow next to him, and continued to ask: "Where were you when the villagers rioted six years ago."

"Official man, didn't the old man just said that, I ate wild mushrooms on the mountain and ran for several days, but I couldn't get up in the end."

The elder Melon smiled bitterly. "At that time, I thought the old man was going to die, but fortunately God confiscated my fate.

Later, I learned that they ran to the cliff to make trouble. At first, they didn't care. After all, they had made trouble before. Unexpectedly, they actually killed the county grandfather and his family.

You said how did this happen? Alas, people, once you are in a hurry, you can really do everything. "

In the end, the elder Gua realized that there was something wrong with this, and quickly changed his words and said: "I mean, people can't be too emotional."

Chen Mu said: "You mean that there was no bloodshed when the villagers were making trouble, right?"

"Of course not. If people don't fight against officials, who has the courage."

Yun Lao Gua curled his shriveled lips, his speech pressure became a little lower. "What's more, the magistrate of the county is actually not a bad official. He still takes good care of our people on weekdays. The main reason is that the tax makes people anxious."

"What tax?"

Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly.

Since the Queen Mother came to power, taxes have been reduced year by year in order to reduce the pressure on the people.

Although some places have not implemented policies, Dongzhou, a rich place second only to the capital, should not have severe taxation incidents.

"this……"

Realizing that he was talking again, the elder Gua smiled bitterly. "It's just some messy taxes, but it's much better now."

Seeing that the other party did not want to elaborate, Chen Mu returned to the previous topic.

"Before the villagers rioted, I heard that someone from the heaven and the earth came to entice you, have you seen him? What does it look like."

"I haven't seen this before."

The elder Gua shook his head and said honestly. "I also heard what someone said later, but I have never seen anyone from the Heaven and Earth Club at all. Maybe it’s those who are sick, and the Heaven and Earth Club secretly push them. In short, since the government has posted a notice, it must be correct. , Hate these guys who meet in heaven and earth!"

Chen Mu took out a small book.

The special pitch black charcoal pen writes beautiful small characters on the paper, recording the clues one by one.

The veteran Gua had been in the village at that time.

Even if he is afraid of lying on the bed, he should get some information.

So at that time there were people who were bewitched by the Heaven and Earth Society, and it was doubtful.

"If you think about it again, before the villagers rioted, did any other strange things happen, such as many people who got sick?"

Chen Mu asked meticulously, "Don't worry, think carefully, and say whatever you can think of."

The veteran Gua originally wanted to shake his head, but after seeing Chen Mu's bright gaze flashing brilliantly, he hesitated for a moment, and then recalled carefully.

Chen Mu didn't urge, and waited with peace of mind.

The unpleasant smell of cow and sheep dung in the air still persists, and it seems that the village has been completely abandoned in the stinking ditch.

No one cares about its survival.

Chen Mu was in a low mood.

This is true for villages in places like Dongzhou, and the situation in other places may not be much better.

Although the Queen Mother has been working hard in recent years to find ways to revitalize the country's economy and the life level of the people, the mess left by the previous emperors cannot be changed overnight.

As the master Shi said, there is no permanent prosperity.

What should be destroyed will eventually be destroyed.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother is courageous after all, and there have been many outstanding officials in the DPRK, and the situation will gradually improve.

After a while, the old man still shook his head:

"I'm sorry, my lord, I really can't think of any strange things. I don't care about sickness or anything."

Hearing that, Chen Mu was disappointed in his heart.

Although the results were not great this time, at least some clues are worthy of scrutiny.

Just when he was about to leave, the elder Gua remembered something and snapped his head suddenly: "By the way, how did I forget that. It was a strange thing that happened a month before the villagers rioted."

"What's the strange thing?" Chen Mu's sharp eyes locked him.

The veteran said: "It's just that some red flying insects appeared in the sky, many of them hovering above our village. Later, everyone thought it was a locust, and they all went to catch it. But those flying insects were gone."

Red flying insect?

A key message was once again presented to Chen Mu.

"Have you seen it? What does it look like?"

Chen Mu stared at each other.

The elder Gua thought for a while and stretched out his own thumb: "It's probably this big, with sharp teeth. We also reported to the official. At that time, the county grandfather came to check in person, but then there was no news."

"Other than that?"

Chen Mu tried to dig out some more clues.

It's a pity that this time the veteran Gua really didn't have anything to offer. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I know that old man, but I don't know the others at all."

Chen Mu no longer forced the other side to remember, and went to other houses in the village.

Sure enough, as the veteran Gua said, there were only a few sick, old and weak people in the village.

These people know less information than the veterans.

Without digging up other useful information, Chen Mu stopped staying, bid farewell to the veteran Gua, and left Jixi Village.

Chen Mu didn't choose the path pointed by the veteran Gua, but went back the same way.

He is going to see Wuchen Village.

Look at the deaf old lady, the beautiful village girl, the grumpy old man...

Is it true or illusion?

——

The house is quiet.

In Jingya's room, the disguised Bai Xianyu washed her own body and changed into a goose-yellow mopping skirt.

The black hair was rolled up high, beautiful and gentle.

When Lianbu moved lightly, the white embroidered shoes loomed under the skirt, like a Fairy Transcendent.

The whole body exudes a charming charm.

"Sister, is it really okay for my brother-in-law to investigate the case alone? Why do I always feel flustered recently, or should I look for him?"

Deep worries emerged from her delicate and lovely Qing Luo beautiful eyes.

"Just you? It's almost the same if you add chaos."

Bai Xianyu snorted coldly, although he was worried about her husband, but comforted. "Husband, he has something outside of heaven, so there should be nothing wrong with him."

"Things outside of the sky don't feel reliable." Qingluo pursed her pink mouth.

As the two talked, the guard Heimeng knocked on the door and said respectfully: "Master, Lord White Tiger is here."

"The third child?"

Bai Xianyu's pretty jade face was a little surprised.

What is this guy here for?

She motioned Qingluo to put away some toys made on the table, and said lightly: "Let him come in."

"Yes."

Hei Meng nodded slightly.

Soon, a man with a slightly generous figure, led by Hei Meng, entered the living room.

The man wears a silver White Tiger mask on his face.

"Second sister."

After seeing Bai Xianyu, he greeted enthusiastically.

Bai Xianyu poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Rare guests, I usually hide in the corner of the corner and calculate others. Why did you suddenly change sex today and came to me."

"Look at what the second sister said, I am here to visit you."

White Tiger rubbed his hands, hehe smiled.

He took out some exquisite little gifts and put them on the table: "These are all the precious things I have carefully selected, and they are definitely your second sister. By the way, Qingluo also has them."

"I'm not rare." Qing Luo hummed.

Bai Xianyu's beautiful and moving cheeks brought a touch of disdain: "In the capital, I haven't seen you kid so filial to me. On the contrary, it is the fellow Black Tortoise, who was instructed by you to deal with my husband, and I haven't asked you to settle the account."

"Second sister, haven't you already slapped Black Tortoise? He took it for me, don't need to settle the account with me."

The cheerful White Tiger smiled cheeky.

He coughed and continued to argue: "Besides, I didn't even think about dealing with your husband at all. I have a true relationship with my second sister. You took care of me the most when I was young, right. I am also a tool person. , There are difficulties."

"Oh, you can't spit a word of truth from your mouth."

Bai Xianyu rolled her pretty eyes.

The White Tiger smiled, picked up the teacup and wanted to take a drink. Suddenly realized that he was still wearing a mask, he took off the White Tiger mask.

A chubby looking naïve face was revealed.

Those eyes were slightly narrowed, the size of a mung bean, as if they were smiling all the time, making people feel more cordial.

It's really a smiling tiger.

The most peculiar thing is that he has an eye tattooed on the center of his brow.

Lifelike.
