The orchard in Changgan Village is located on a man-made piece of land halfway up the mountain. The orchard is separated by a fence that is more than two people high. The thick wooden boards are mixed with interlaced steel bars. Knock open.

"There are no other people in this mountain, and there are no wild beasts. Why build such a high fence?" Judy walked along the mountain road to the gate of the orchard, and at a glance, he saw the fence of the two people in the orchard, which was nearly four meters high, and couldn't help saying this. .

Jun Chengzong also noticed the strange fence of the orchard, took a look, and guessed: "Maybe there is something in the mountain, go in and have a look." Then, Jun Chengzong pushed open the gate of the orchard, and walked in first.

It is reasonable to say that there will be people here to watch the garden during the day, but maybe the people who watch the garden have gone on patrol, and Jun Chengzong and the others just walked in without any hindrance.

The Changgan Orchard occupies almost the entire mountainside, and the range is quite large. From the moment they entered the orchard, they could see lush fruit trees as far as they could see.

Changgan Village's ability to reclaim such a large area of ​​mountainous land is admirable enough, but such an orchard alone is still not enough to support the expenses of the entire Changgan Village of more than 200 people. There must be something wrong with it.

However, when they approached the hinterland of the orchard, something caught their attention.

A scarecrow on a clearing.

The scarecrow is fixed on a huge cross, with its head drooping like a condemned prisoner.

This scarecrow is much taller than the usual scarecrows. The ragged clothes on his body and the low brim of the hat make this scarecrow look like he has crucified a person at first glance. During the day It looks a little intrusive.

What's more noteworthy is that a normal scarecrow has nothing but clothes on it, but this scarecrow has a sharp sickle tied to its right hand.

"This..." Seeing this scarecrow, Judy felt indescribably uncomfortable.

Looking at the sickle on the scarecrow's right hand, Jun Chengzong frowned unconsciously, then raised his left hand and brought the dice closer to the scarecrow.

As a result, the dice really reacted, and a cold touch passed down Jun Chengzong's wrist. This cold touch was different from the mysterious spirit body he had experienced before.

This completely unfamiliar coolness caused Jun Chengzong to withdraw his hand suddenly, and looked at the scarecrow in horror, his lips twitched, not knowing what he was talking about.

Just when Jun Chengzong was about to say something, Zhu Di had already moved towards the scarecrow, and she pulled out the obsidian dagger from her waist, pushed aside the rags wrapped around the scarecrow, and blew Whistle, and said to Jun Chengzong behind him: "I think we have found the missing Zhu Jianling."

"Huh?" Jun Chengzong also followed, but he saw several rusty ornaments of worshiping evil gods in the scarecrow's clothes. They were the ones hanging on Zhu Jianling's body in the missing person notice. Punk style ornament.

With this discovery, there is no doubt that all of Jun Chengzong's previous speculations were confirmed. Not only Zhu Jianling, but also all the people who disappeared nearby were related to this scarecrow.

Jun Chengzong looked at the scarecrow again, and immediately said to Zhu Di: "There is a very powerful spirit body in this scarecrow, be careful..."

However, before Jun Chengzong could finish speaking, Zhu Di interrupted him and pointed to the ground with the dagger in his hand.

Seeing Zhu Di's actions, Jun Chengzong looked down and immediately understood what Zhu Di meant.

At first, when Jun Chengzong saw the scarecrow, he thought that a large open space was specially cleared for the purpose of erecting the scarecrow, but now he saw that there were not only no trees, but even weeds in this open space. Can't get rid of it.

"Polluted land?" A word popped out of Jun Chengzong's mind,

Corresponding to where they are at this time.

Judy nodded and didn't say much.

The so-called polluted land was originally a religious name, referring to the land polluted by mysterious spirits, making it impossible for any plants to survive.

Contaminated land is relatively common in places like cemeteries. The most obvious feature is that no grass grows. No plant can survive on the polluted land.

The location where Jun Chengzong and the others are now happens to be a land with a scarecrow as the center and a few meters away from the grass. If it is not a polluted land, then I am afraid that there is no other explanation.

Sure enough, the problem was the scarecrow.

"When I was in the Psychic Media Association, did you hear about the legendary research on the Scarecrow?" Zhu Di looked at Jun Chengzong. In the Psychic Medium Association, it is obvious to all that Jun Chengzong worked hard on the research materials.

Therefore, many psychic mediums are generally not used to looking up information, but directly seek advice from Jun Chengzong.

Jun Chengzong looked at the scarecrow, pondered for a moment, and said: "There is only a legend about a hunchback related to the scarecrow, but it is very different from the current situation. I am afraid it is not the same thing."

"The hunchback is hunting, but now it seems that this scarecrow is likely to be a sacrifice." Jun Chengzong said with a sigh.

Judging from the information they have now, all the missing people disappeared at a fixed time every month, and every time a missing incident occurred, it was a man and a woman, so Jun Chengzong made a guess about the sacrifice.

However, if it is really a sacrificial ceremony, then the time they are in at this time is probably the time of the monthly sacrificial ceremony!

"Is there any way to kill this thing?" Zhu Di asked immediately after hearing what Jun Chengzong meant.

In her opinion, if such a thing appeared, wouldn't it be enough to just kill it?

Jun Chengzong shook his head, it's not that he didn't want to kill this evil scarecrow, it's just because they don't have a definite understanding of this kind of thing now, how could they know how to kill this kind of thing?

In addition to demons and marginal spirits, there are other evil spirits in this world. If we can't find the right way to deal with these things, it will only be counterproductive, and may even cause unnecessary casualties.

Just when Jun Chengzong and Zhu Di were about to figure out what the scarecrow was, several people hurried towards Jun Chengzong and them.

"Hey! Who are you and what are you doing here!?" The village chief Chen Changqing hurried over with a group of people. The people behind Chen Changqing still held various hoes and the like in their hands, as if they were catching thieves.

Seeing this posture, Jun Chengzong quickly protected Zhu Di behind his back, while Zhu Di quietly put away the obsidian dagger to avoid misunderstanding.

However, the villagers led by Chen Changqing were extremely angry, and it looked as if Jun Chengzong had stolen their money.

"Everyone, calm down and listen to my explanation!" Jun Chengzong put on a harmless gesture, trying to appease the furious villagers.

When the two sides were at a stalemate, an acquaintance ran over in a hurry and said to Chen Changqing, "Village chief, you have misunderstood!" It was none other than Chen Muzhi who helped Jun Chengzong repair his car.
