Chapter Forty-Seven: The Hidden Nightman
In the next few days, the people in Weng Cao Village were really panicked, and the mood of uneasiness and panic continued to spread, and everyone only felt helpless.
Since Dashan was killed five days ago, a villager has been murdered every day for the past five days. The dead villagers all died in a surprisingly consistent way, and they all died by having an artery cut in the left neck with a sharp object. The murderer is haunting, and his tricks are ruthless, like a ghost haunting the hearts of Wengcao villagers, which makes people talk about it.
In the past few days, everyone and the general have taken turns patrolling the guard, but no matter how vigilant they are, the murderer can always quietly commit crimes in a corner where no one finds them. Five villagers have already died for no reason, and everyone feels heavy and has no face.
With the frequent occurrence of murders, the villagers have more and more complaints about Xihe Nuling and his party, and even many people cast hateful glances when passing by them, as if they had regarded them as murderers. In order to cause unnecessary disputes, on this day, Guangbai and his party of ten people came to the courtyard where they were leaving, and said goodbye to her.
Jiang Li was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Why are your benefactors in such a hurry to leave? Is it caused by the gossip in the village in the past few days, please rest assured, I will severely punish the rumor-mongers, please don't worry." ”
Guangbai arched his hand and said: "You have to worry about the village chief, and we have also bothered your village for these days, it's time to leave." We plan to go deep into the middle of the mountain range to search for clues, and it is inconvenient to live in Weng Cao Village. Of course, we will continue to investigate the murders that have occurred in the past few days, so as to find out the real culprits as soon as possible. ”
will leave the desire to stay, but everyone has made up their minds, so they have to give up happily. After discussing and arranging the matter of finding the murderer, everyone took up the magic weapon and rushed towards the depths of the forest outside Weng Cao Village.
Everyone first found a cave in the dense forest as a shelter, and then Guangbai gave everyone their tasks, and after agreeing, a group of two people divided into five ways to start a carpet search. They are all cultivators, and they are extremely fast, and they have really found traces of some zombie activities in half a day. The spirits of the people were lifted, and they continued to search deeper into the forest.
Before you know it, a day has passed, and the five groups of people have returned to the cave to rest and exchange information collected during the day according to the agreed time. The sky was cloudy, the sky gradually darkened, and as everyone talked, it was night again.
——————————————————————
The night was deep, and the raindrops were pouring down, washing away the tiredness of Weng Cao Village in recent days.
The entire Taishi Mountains were shrouded in a layer of rain and mist, and the rain was so loud that people couldn't open their eyes, and with the sound of the rain was coming a chill, it was the end of summer, and the grass was about to wither.
Jiang Li stood quietly on the cloister in the courtyard, looking up at the gloomy night. In the room, it was the serene man, with a soft smile on his lips, lying motionless on a wooden chair.
The faint scent of flowers and the scent of water filled the courtyard, and the candles in the house flickered and dimmed, reflecting the swaying shadow of the woman, and the whole time was frozen here, just like every ordinary night in the past twenty years.
Suddenly, a gloomy laugh sounded, followed by a man's voice: "Hahaha, who would have thought that the surviving Ji, who had killed countless people at a moment's notice, would hide in this deep mountain village and enjoy the rain alone." ”
Jiang Li's face changed, and with a wave of his lightning-like robe, he closed the door, and then his figure flashed into the courtyard. The rain fell on her body in an instant, wetting the ends of her clothes and hair.
Jiang Li was still covered with a black veil, and at this time, his eyes flashed violently, and at the same time, he said in a cold voice: "Who is Your Excellency, please show up and speak!"
The cold voice sounded again: "Senior sister, I haven't seen you for many years, don't you remember me so soon?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared on the roof. He moved quickly, but he didn't make a sound, and the black mist that the bean-sized raindrops touched him vaporized into silk, and they couldn't get close to him within three feet.
Narrowing his eyes into a slit, he stared at the black fog fixedly for a long time, and only after a while did he say lightly: "It's you?"
"That's right, that's me. ”
Jiang Li snorted, his face even more gloomy, "What are you doing here?" ”
Hei Wu laughed, and didn't answer her words, but said lightly: "Senior sister, we have been looking for you so hard all these years, I didn't expect you to hide here." Guess what would happen if the national teacher found out where you were?"
Jiang Li didn't speak again, and suddenly his body shot out like an arrow, and the long sword was immediately held in his hand, and a huge blue light turned into a sword shadow and slashed towards the black mist, and instantly moved, bursting out with amazing power.
The black shadow sighed softly, and the fog on its body dissipated in an instant, and by the time the fog gathered again, it was already in the courtyard. Jiang Li's figure flashed with the blue light and stood on the roof, and the two actually exchanged positions in an instant.
The cold voice of the black mist sounded again: "Tut-tut, the junior sister is still so anxious, she has to do it as soon as she hasn't seen her for many years." ”
Jiang Li said coldly: "I have long since withdrawn from the southern foreign country and don't ask about the world, I can't imagine that I will still be found by you after twenty years." Tu Lu, what are you here for?"
"Hahaha, I didn't come for you, but I didn't expect an unexpected gain. Don't worry, I'll leave your affairs to the national teacher. ”
Jiang Lixiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Kuzen is also here?"
"That's right, it's a pity that that guy didn't come, otherwise we would have been able to gather the three protectors of the Southern Alien Country. ”
Jiang Li clenched his long sword, and the fighting spirit on his body climbed. The person in front of her is Tu Lu, one of the three protectors of the Southern Exotic Country, who is as famous as her, and is an extremely difficult opponent, especially good at body methods, if you want to defeat him, you must break out a fast and fierce offensive in a short period of time to have a chance.
Tu Lu seemed to see through the intention of leaving, his figure took a few steps back, and said in a low voice: "If I were you, in fact, it would be the best policy to go away and fly high at this time, but the village you are thinking about will suffer." ”
A blue ray shot at him again, and Tu Lu retreated to dodge the attack, and a ravine more than a foot long was split on the ground. The figure of the left swooped down, and several blue rays kept throwing out of his hand.
Tu Lu didn't seem to want to fight her, raised his hand and five fingers into claws, and a black mist diffused out, and the blue light split on the black fog only like a mud cow into the sea, quietly melting. After fending off Jiang Li's attack with one blow, Tu Lu instantly turned into a cloud of black mist, his body was in a hurry, and he had already dodged outside the courtyard in just a few breaths.
Jiangli's face was ugly, and he only heard Tu Lu's cold voice from outside the hospital: "It's inconvenient to talk about each other here, we might as well change places." Jiang Li was just about to speak, Tu Lu said again: "If you don't want to be known by the national teacher, you have to catch up with me first." You...... There is no choice. As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of breaking the sky, and Tu Lu turned into black mist and swept towards the outside of Weng Cao Village.
Jiang Li hesitated for a while in the courtyard, and the rain had turned from heavy to small, to a dripping state. Jiang Li glanced back at the hidden door, and could vaguely see the man lying on the wooden chair inside the door, peaceful and calm. A bolt of lightning swept by, lighting up the entire night sky, and as if he had made a decision, Yukong got up and chased in the direction in which Tu Lu had disappeared.
——————————————————————
A cave in the Taishi Mountains.
The light of the fire was extinguished, and from time to time there was a crackling sound. It was a deep night with wind and rain outside the cave.
Nine people in the cave are gathering to discuss. Two hours ago, after dinner, Kanesakura said she was going out for a walk, but she hadn't seen anyone return until now. Everyone couldn't help but worry that Jin Yingzi would encounter an accident, so they discussed going out separately to find it.
Guangbai's voice was low, and he said slowly: "The night is cold, so the three junior sisters Yun'e, Ziyuan, and Nanxing will stay in the cave and wait for the golden cherry brother to come back, and the rest will go all the way, separate searches, and if we find it, we will shout and answer." ”
Everyone nodded in unison. After the agreement was completed, the six male disciples took up their magic weapons and flew out in different directions, and in a few moments they blended into the stormy night.
Luo Banxia searched to the west alone, and the icy raindrops were blocked by the exercises he had driven. The Returning Dust Sword was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, he deliberately lowered his figure, and carefully probed the forest with the light of the Returning Dust Sword, while shouting softly: "Senior Brother Jin Yingzi, can you hear, where are you?" ”
The rest of the crowd did the same, but after searching for an hour, there was still no trace. It stands to reason that when going out at night, Jin Yingzi should not go far, but everyone has turned the bottom of the sky within a radius of twenty miles, and still hasn't seen Jin Yingzi.
From a distance, I heard Guangbai's shouting: "Let's look a little farther away." The crowd shouted in response from all over the place. The forest at night is very quiet, the sound can spread far away, and everyone is a cultivator, and when they shout, they join the true power, so although they are separated by a distance, they can also hear the echo.
As they said, the crowd expanded the scope of their search by a hundred miles. As the search progressed, the rain had gradually subsided. As the minutes ticked by, just as everyone was feeling more and more anxious, Fuyuto's frightened voice came from a distance: "I've found Senior Brother Jin Sakura!
The voice contained a variety of emotions such as horror, anger, and grief, which stirred up an echo in the dark night. Everyone was surprised, and hurriedly harnessed the magic weapon to converge from all directions towards the place where the sound of the winter vine came. The night was dark, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the rain was falling slightly, and it was already midnight.
Because Luo Banxia is the farthest away, the time to rush back is also the latest. When he arrived, everyone had already formed a circle, and the scene was silent for a while, and no one spoke. Luo Banxia was feeling puzzled, leaned over and looked towards the place where everyone's eyes converged, and suddenly let out a loud startle.
