Gate 1467

transporting corpses using frozen seafood probably serves the cannibals well. Like seafood, bodies also need to be rapidly frozen, so during long-distance transport, they just lay a thick layer of fro...My brother rubbed the “lump of dirt” in his hand and frowned: “ …This is a bone.”

"Huh I was taken aback. While there were dilapidated villages nearby, this ravine was already quite remote and desolate. It was tucked away in a narrow crevice where the wind was strong. Even if there were carcasses of animals or decaying leaves, the smell would have long since dissipated."

"This doesn't look like an animal carcass at all," my brother, who studied medicine, reached out and felt it. "This feels like... a human fibula..."

"Hey, don't scare me." I quickly turned around and saw that both Yin soldiers and Jiang Qiyun were standing behind me. My heart felt a little calmer.

My brother took out a small flashlight and carefully shone it on the object in his hand.

This is a bone wrapped in yellow soil, its length indeed resembling that of a human.

"...Xiao Qiao, did you meet anyone on your way up the mountain" My brother suddenly asked me.

"Oh, hey there. Didn't you see those old houses down by the foot of the mountain I think some people live there. Actually, before I came up here, this old man threatened me..." I explained hastily.

My brother furrowed his brows, chewing on a small flashlight, climbing up from the ditch. He seemed to be deep in thought.

"What's wrong" I tugged at my brother's backpack, pulling him up and brushing the dust off his clothes.

“This is kind of weird, I mean this isn't exactly a desolate wilderness, there are no cliffs along the ravine, and it's not like it's impossible to climb out… how could there be human remains scattered in this ravine” My brother frowned and said, “Maybe they were murdered!”

“That old man downstairs was quite fierce just now. He said: You youngsters shouldn't come here for excitement at night. This place is desolate, and there’s nothing to be seen after the old forest, no spirits…” I recalled.

My brother was stunned: "What accent is that"

“I'm imitating the old man's accent! He probably means there's nothing to see except the old forest. He's probably talking about those hikers who came before us, right Could they have encountered an accident” I asked.

My brother chuckled softly: “Humph, if you say desolate, there are even more desolate places. Bodies appearing here... maybe it's a place where people were killed and abandoned.”

I patted my head: "The local deity just warned me to be careful... chopping wood Could it be that a mountain villager chopping wood encountered a wild beast"

"Chopping wood" My brother was taken aback, turning off the flashlight in his hand and frowning. "How come Did Land God tell you that"

I nodded, and Jiang Qiyun also heard it.

My brother frowned and said, “Damn it... how could I have not thought of that possibility... my fault.”

"What were you thinking about"

"There are abandoned villages here, the villagers have long since moved away, and we came this way through the suburban development zone, there aren't many people anymore. In such deserted villages waiting for development, why are there only a handful of people"

My brother straightened his straps and then said, "These people live here extremely inconveniently. It's not like they can't move out. This place isn't that far from the city, so why do they insist on staying here"

“Of course, you can still ‘make a living’ here! Just release some news about the deserted village, and there will be curious hikers and climbers who come to explore.”

"These few people are living a hard life, so they went up the mountain to 'chop wood' ... In this ravine that normal people wouldn't even come to, they killed someone and buried them in a pit. How could we possibly find them"

I swallowed hard. No wonder, the old man we saw before also had a menacing look in his eyes, and the man at the foot of the mountain just now was also very fierce, and he... he was carrying an axe.

I am still an ordinary person, and the Earth God cannot directly reveal the cause-and-effect karma in the world. Therefore, he subtly reminded me to be careful "chopping firewood," which probably refers to a murder that occurred here.

I turned back to look at Jiang Qiyun. He seemed unfazed by this, merely staring in the direction where Zheng Zhuanjia was fleeing with a slight frown on his face.

What did he discover

Just as I was about to speak, a faint shadow flitting by in the darkness ahead startled me.

"Who!" I blurted out.

My brother whipped out his electric baton and stopped me, saying, "What's there to ask Out here in the middle of nowhere, who else could possibly know we came up the mountain!"

Could it be the man with the axe from down the mountain!

He was followed by another person, both holding machetes and covering their faces with a piece of cloth. When we spotted them, he seemed slightly surprised: "…This little girl's film is a bit sharp! We can be seen even from this distance in the darkness!"

"Just shut her up!"

My brother twitched his lips: "These two people are definitely not normal! Doing evil in this place, and not being haunted by ghosts or demons... maybe they're the gatekeepers of the funeral home!"

Funeral home.

The moment those three words left his mouth, the two men wielding axes stiffened as if someone had jabbed them hard in the back of the neck with a needle. They twitched violently.

"...How do you know— "

“Shut up! These people are definitely gangsters! Quickly silence them! Or if the master finds out, we’re all dead—" The hoarse and vicious voice held a cleaver and charged at us: “It’s as simple as that for pampered brats like you—two cuts and it's done!”

Well, we don't exactly look strong and imposing, but...

A gust of cold wind carrying a deathly aura swept over, the Land God along with a squad of ghost soldiers surrounded the two. A multitude of ghostly figures thronged around them.

Jiang Qiyun beckoned with his finger, and two ghost messengers wearing pointed hats appeared behind him. These ghost messengers were not ordinary Yin soldiers, but yin officers wielding soul-calling talismans and soul-snatching ropes.

My brother and I looked at each other in surprise. It seemed like we didn't even need to lift a finger

Don't look at me and my brother standing here looking weak, the situation is actually that the two mountain people with axes are surrounded by yin soldiers.

They brandished their axes and slashed through two Yin soldiers, getting chills all over their bodies before convulsing and collapsing onto the ground.

This Land God seemed rather cautious. He signaled his underlings, the Yin soldiers, not to act rashly. He bowed deeply towards Jiang Qiyunchang and said, “ … I humbly request guidance from Your Majesty…”

Jiang Qiyun was too lazy to say much, so he raised his hand and said: "Go chase that escaped mortal. Yin Su Bai's magical techniques must be nearby. That mortal has been here once, and unconsciously will flee past in the darkness. Just follow him."

"Yes." The Land God disappeared with a gust of wind along with his ghostly soldiers.

As soon as the river mist stirred, the two small ghost attendants behind him immediately diligently stepped on the two "chopping wood" people, binding their souls with chains.

Yin and yang each have their own rules and laws. To harm living souls is a serious crime. Without Jiang Qiyun's order, the two little ghosts would not dare to act rashly. They only slightly pulled on the living souls, causing the two bodies to collapse to the ground, their consciousness hazy.

"... In those years, the roads were difficult to travel, bandits robbed them everywhere. I didn't expect that after the changes of time and the drastic shifts in the world, there would still be such people." Jiang Qiyun lowered her eyes and looked at the two men on the ground faintly.

They were lean and muscular, with fierce eyes that spoke of violence. They didn't look like good people at all.

"Cough, brother-in-law, like this how can we interrogate them It's better to wake them up and tie them up for questioning." My older brother suggested.

Jiang Qiyun shook her head slightly: "These two people being able to stay here are not ordinary villains. If we let them recover their consciousness, I'm afraid they will be silenced. Check their bodies to see if there are any marks left by the Eighteen Demon Lords of the Magic Realm in the world."

My brother, upon hearing this, didn't hesitate. He knelt down and began ripping off his clothes.car was totaled, Senior Brother Jun would definitely give you a new one without hesitation." I huffed, leaning against the car door.My sister raised an eyebrow and said, "Ugh~ I wouldn't scrap a new c...
