Sure, here is the translation based on your instructions:
The next day, dawn appeared.
The villagers of Liugou Village were all woken up early by the old village chief.
He informed them that today everyone was to gather at the village's reception temple.
This notification was naturally given according to Liang Cheng's instructions to the old village chief.
After confirming with Lu Xuan last night, it was assured that for a long time, those strange things wouldn't appear in Liugou Village anymore.
As for the deaths of those two villagers from Liugou Village and the other three local militia soldiers, Liang Cheng had no intention of foolishly revealing the truth.
Would he still have to tell the villagers of Liugou Village that their village had dirty things and that those people were killed by these strange and terrifying dirty things?
If Liang Cheng were to reveal this truth, the villagers of Liugou Village might fall into panic in the next moment, causing chaos.
Liugou Village's reception temple!
Liang Cheng stood in the middle of the hall with a few government officials behind him.
However, these officials were all carrying a wooden board, covered with a white cloth.
Seeing the villagers gathered almost completely, Liang Cheng gradually spoke up.
"Alright, silence!"
After Liang Cheng shouted loudly, the noisy and lively hall instantly quieted down, silent as a grave.
The eyes of the crowd focused on Liang Cheng, including Lu Xuan sitting on chairs at the sides of the hall.
Seeing the hall quiet down, Liang Cheng nodded in satisfaction and then spoke again.
"After my investigation outside last night, I have discovered the cause of death of those people."
"And, I have executed the true culprit that killed them on the spot, ensuring that such incidents will not occur in Liugou Village again."
"Everyone can rest assured now."
Liang Cheng decided to keep it brief, quickly summing up the case in a few words.
"Really?"
"That's great."
"I didn't expect the Chief Constable to determine the cause of death of Da Long and Tie Zhu so quickly."
"Now, everyone doesn't have to live in fear anymore!"
"Long live the Chief Constable!"
...
Shortly after Liang Cheng's speech, the voices of the villagers of Liugou Village followed one after another.
All the villagers were beaming with joy and expressed their gratitude toward Liang Cheng.
Since the incident occurred, the villagers of Liugou Village lived in fear.
The villagers were even afraid to go to the mountains to gather herbs, worried and anxious every day, fearing they might encounter the true culprit behind the deaths.
Before nightfall, every household would shut their doors tightly, trembling in bed.
Among the villagers of Liugou Village, a shadow stepped out - it was a woman.
The woman's face was streaked with sorrowful tears, and upon arriving in front of Liang Cheng, her knees bent as if she wanted to kneel.
"Chief Constable, where is the real culprit who killed my husband? Please, bring justice to me."
Upon seeing this, Liang Cheng took a quick step forward, extending his booted foot to stop her from kneeling.
"I have already mentioned that the real culprit has been executed by me."
After saying that, Liang Cheng gestured to the officials behind him.
"You all, bring out the item."
"Yes, sir!"
The officials, receiving the leader's signal, lifted the wooden board high and then pulled back the covering cloth smoothly.
A strangely shaped white bone appeared on the wooden board, seemingly the remains of some creature.
However, before everyone could take a closer look, it was covered again with the white cloth in a matter of moments.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan was speechless, having already guessed Liang Cheng's plan.
Telling lies with open eyes, it seems Liang Cheng is well-suited to be an official of the court.
Only, being a small Chief Constable in the county seems a bit of a waste of talent.
"This is a poisonous beast, and those people died from its poison."
"From what I know, the poison of this beast can drive the poisoned person into madness, unable to feel pain, self-mutilating and self-harming."
"The reason those dead could rise again was because of this poison."
"This poison made outsiders think those people were dead, but in fact, they hadn't truly died, still clinging to life. That is why the dead could move."
Liang Cheng spoke continuously without any pause, his expression unwavering, showing no hint of flaw.
All the villagers of Liugou Village appeared serious, quietly listening to Liang Cheng speak.
Whether they understood or not, or perhaps weren't listening at all, it was unclear.
"Chief Constable, could old me see what kind of beast that is, old me... …"
The old village chief was about to speak but was interrupted by Liang Cheng.
"Alright, old village chief, since the case in Liugou Village has been solved and the true culprit executed, I shall take my leave."
"The beast does not need to be seen. It is evidence, highly important, that I must take back to the county for Lord County Magistrate's judgment."
Liang Cheng decisively refused the old village chief's request.
Because this beast bone was something he found while leading people in the middle of the night.
He gathered several different animal bones and assembled them randomly, which, if viewed closely, would be seen through immediately.
"Old village chief, don't worry or overthink, Liugou Village is safe now,
this poisonous beast is the only one of its kind and will not appear again to harm people."
Finally, Liang Cheng spoke a meaningful line.
The old village chief, already suspicious, realized the underlying meaning upon hearing Liang Cheng's clear words.
Having lived most of his life, how could he not decipher the insinuation of Liang Cheng's words?
Liang Cheng's meaning was that the safety of Liugou Village was assured, and other matters were no longer his concern.
...…..
Outside the entrance of Liugou Village, the dusty dirt road rolled, flying about.
A wagon was escorted front and back by five or six horses, disappearing into the horizon like stars surrounding the moon.
The ones leaving were Lu Xuan and Liang Cheng and their companions.
Sitting inside the wagon, Lu Xuan lifted the dusty curtain at the back window, gazing deeply toward Liugou Village.
A spooky shadow?
Lu Xuan still pondered the eerie shadow he encountered last night.
Since it was the first time Lu Xuan encountered an anomaly, a genuine supernatural entity appearing in front of him, it granted him a 50 System Points bonus.
50 System Points, even if he took over the Lu Family Pharmacy, he wouldn't be able to gather this many System Points.
Therefore, Lu Xuan had etched this anomaly, which granted him plentiful System Points, into his memory.
Lu Xuan had already made up his mind; he would continue to monitor the situation in Liugou Village.
If this eerie shadow turned out to be as Lu Xuan predicted,
If it wasn't dead, then it symbolized Lu Xuan's chance to destroy it again, thereby obtaining a vast number of System Points.
With that, Lu Xuan could unreservedly deduce cultivation techniques, growing ever stronger without encountering any bottleneck.
