Chapter 254 You are a rare genius in a thousand years
Lin Chen asked Lin Hui: "Did the Zhang family offend anyone?"
"Who could be so ruthless and cut off the roots?"
Lin Hui now felt as big as his head and said, "How did I know?"
His mother died mysteriously.
The Zhang family was also brutally murdered.
He had no clue.
Lin Hui advised Lin Chen: "You should leave early, this is not a place for you to stay for a long time."
Lin Chen shrugged and said nonsense: "I tried this morning and couldn't find the way out of the village."
Lin Hui was stunned.
He was silent for a long time.
Finally, he said slowly: "You probably won't be able to leave."
"I think so too."
Lin Chen said: "So you tell me."
"What's going on in this village? Why did so many people die suddenly?"
"Why did your mother become so...fat?"
It can no longer be described as fat.
When they carried her down, a group of people carried the bed down.
She was alone, and her flesh almost covered the entire bed.
That's outrageous.
"I don't know either."
Lin Hui lowered his head and said, "Since some time ago, strange things have been happening in the village."
"First, the Liu family's out-of-town daughter-in-law fell into the river inexplicably and drowned."
"Then for a while, someone said they heard the Liu family's daughter-in-law talking."
"Some people also said that they saw the Liu family's wife washing clothes by the river."
"Then there was Aunt Zhang. She came back one night and she didn't know what she saw. She went crazy."
"Within three days, he died in bed."
Drown?
Suddenly crazy?
Lin Chen was thinking, what's the connection?
"I don't know what crime the Zhang family committed," Lin Hui said.
Lin Chen asked: "Does the Zhang family have any grudge against the Liu family's wife?"
"In other words, is there anyone in the Zhang family who covets the beauty of the Liu family's daughter-in-law?"
He speculated that Liu's wife was pushed into the water and drowned.
She refused to rest in peace and turned into a ghost and came back to seek revenge.
"I have no idea."
Lin Hui said: "The reputation of the Zhang family has always been very good. They have been doing good deeds, especially Aunt Zhang."
"She also likes small animals and often feeds some stray cats at the entrance of the village."
"cat?"
Lin Chen caught the key word.
It's the cat again.
Yesterday, he saw too many cats.
First, there was the cat at Aunt Zhang’s funeral.
And then there's the cat outside the kitchen window.
Then there is the black cat on the fence.
Finally, there is Aunt Zhang who turned into a cat-faced old lady.
Can't live without cats.
At this time, someone came to Lin Hui and said that everything was ready for cremation.
Lin Chen saw Lin Hui's mother wearing a huge shroud.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of red embroidered shoes on her feet.
I didn’t expect to still be wearing it now.
Lin Chen didn't continue to look, he turned and left, walking in the direction of the Zhang family.
When the flame was lit, the pair of red embroidered shoes became even more delicate in the fire.
Like a rose in full bloom!
Lin Chen came to Zhang's house.
There are white strips hanging everywhere here.
Yesterday they were sending Aunt Zhang off. Who would have thought that they would all leave today?
Many people in the Zhang family are busy.
Lin Chen also saw a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe, waving a mahogany sword in the house.
It seems to be exorcising evil spirits.
Lin Chen watched with interest. This was the first time he saw such a thing.
The Taoist priest danced with swords in the house for half an hour.
When he sprayed the last mouthful of peach leaf water on the threshold, the spell casting finally ended.
He reached up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, he saw Lin Chen.
When he saw Lin Chen, he was stunned for a moment.
He circled Lin Chen with somewhat surprised eyes, constantly looking up and down.
Lin Chen asked: "Taoist Priest, is there something on me?"
The Taoist priest said: "Yes, and there are many."
Lin Chen asked with a smile: "What kind of monsters?"
"no."
The Taoist priest said: "Are you interested in learning these things from me?"
"I can accept you as my disciple."
There was a pause.
He said, "I'll give you money and let me teach you something."
Lin Chen was curious about what he saw.
So much so that he actually wanted to pay for himself to learn from him.
So he asked: "What did you see?"
"Righteous."
The Taoist Master said seriously: "The awe-inspiring righteousness, the righteousness of heaven and earth, the majesty of heaven."
"You are a genius that comes once in a million years."
"You can carry our path forward!"
Lin Chen smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in these things."
The Taoist priest doesn't force it either.
He said with a smile: "Let nature take its course, let nature take its course."
Then he took out a talisman and handed it to Lin Chen.
"I charge 30,000 yuan for this thing, but I will give it to you for free today."
"If you encounter something unclean, it will protect you."
Lin Chen was not polite and reached out to take it.
Then I took a look at the system.
[Evil-proof Talisman: It can deter evil spirits and ghosts with a physical constitution of less than 15 points. 】
"Don't worry."
The Taoist priest patted his chest and said, "I'm very powerful."
"This talisman will definitely not let you down."
The villagers next to him also said.
"The Taoist Master is the most powerful person within a hundred miles."
"omnipotent."
Hearing the compliments from the villagers, the Taoist priest approached Lin Chen again and asked, "How are you doing? Are you excited?"
Lin Chen shook his head.
"Don't talk about this."
"What happened to the Zhang family?"
The Taoist Master sighed helplessly and said, "I have offended the Cat God."
Cat god?
Another key clue.
Lin Chen immediately asked: "What is the Cat God?"
"Shh!"
The Taoist priest hurriedly reached out and covered Lin Chen's mouth.
He looked around cautiously.
"You can't be so disrespectful to the Cat God."
"The cat god is the god of the mountains."
"He is very powerful. I have been practicing for thirty years and I don't dare to be his enemy."
"Everyone who passes by his mountaintop should bow respectfully."
"You kid, have some respect for the Cat God, otherwise you will die young."
God of the mountains.
Lin Chen thought of mountain spring water.
Mountain spring water is polluted.
Does this have anything to do with the Cat God?
and……
If I remember correctly, the Zhang family likes to do good deeds, and Aunt Zhang also likes to feed stray cats.
Such people should be protected by the Cat God.
How could he be killed by the Cat God?
Lin Chen felt that it was necessary to go to the back mountain.
And this time.
The system's voice finally sounded!
"Ding~"
"Current mission: Enter the back mountain."
"After some investigation, we suspect that many strange things in the village are related to the legendary cat god in the back mountain."
"After careful consideration, we decided to enter the back mountain."
"Looking for the Cat God!"
Lin Chen turned around and walked outside.
"Little brother, where are you going?" the Taoist priest asked.
"Go out for a walk." Lin Chen said.
Then he walked out of Zhang's house without looking back.
After taking a look at the navigation on the mini map, he walked directly towards the back mountain.
He saw a puff of black smoke rising into the sky from a distance.
If you guessed correctly.
That should be the thick smoke produced during the cremation.
Quite exaggerated.
After finding the way up the mountain, Lin Chen plunged into the vast mountains.
Just haven't taken a few steps yet.
He stopped.
Because he saw a man.
A man hanged under a tree.
