Chapter 873: The Recurrence of an Old Disease
The tall Lu Ming stood in place, looking at the angry and apricot-eyed girl in front of him, pretending to be calm. Seeing that she looked at herself with burning eyes, her face was serious, and she didn't mean to joke at all.
"Girl, why are you so stubborn, now everyone in a big city like Beiping and Nanjing admires atheism, high-rise buildings are about to rise, how can there be ghosts and gods. Lu Ming shook his head, once again deeply hating the feudal dross of the poisonous people.
"It's not too early, it's inconvenient for you to come out alone with a girl's house, I'll send someone to send you back. Lu Ming's thin lips closed one by one, and his slender fingers were gently raised, "Shao Jiu, send her back." ”
Although the word "send" is used, the meaning of the eviction order is obvious.
Qi Mengzhu angrily crossed his hands on his hips, and then took out a yellow talisman from his suit pocket and pressed it under the broken wood of the Fox Immortal Temple.
"Heaven and earth are the source of all things. Life has its own number of days, and Qi is impermanent......"
She recited the incantation silently, and her surroundings seemed to be filled with a strange and mysterious atmosphere: "This transfiguration beast has received the Qi of heaven and earth in the lake for many years, and although it has taken advantage of the worship of the people in the lake, it has also benefited from it for many years, and it has nothing to do. But recently, this monster is about to succeed, but it has been destroyed by you, and it will not give up. ”
"Captain Lu, you will still come to me. Qi Mengzhu smiled, turned around and disappeared into the night.
-
This back has always lingered in Lu Ming's heart.
For two nights in a row, the moon was surprisingly bright, illuminating the county town in the lake in a miserable white, the withered branches under the moon swaying, and the lonely wind weeping.
Lu Ming pretended to have something in his heart, so it was naturally difficult for him to sleep on such an autumn night.
After two days of worrying, nothing major happened in the county.
It's just that the people all know about the destruction of the Houshan Fox Immortal Temple, and they complain. Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, laughing at himself in his heart, he didn't expect that he would be disturbed by the nonsense story of the girl who didn't know where he came from. It seems that the fear and awe of the unknown is really unavoidable.
Just when Lu Ming felt that things were going to pass like this, the night was just dawning, and a scream broke through the silent night.
"My man has been like that this morning, I thought he was still sleeping, and I woke him up when breakfast was ready. But ......"
The woman who spoke was in her early thirties, and she and her husband were the only ones in the house. Early this morning, she found out that her husband had died. It is normal for people to be born, old, sick and die, but the way this person died is a little strange. The man is tall and handsome, but his family is shabby, and he finally got a daughter-in-law. Poor couples mourn everything, their relationship has been bad, and they have been married for many years without children.
Today, after his wife found out that the man was dead, she did not report the case in time, and it was only after the neighbors found out that she followed everyone to the government to report the case.
The people of the people and the county felt strange, and naturally, the first suspect was also designated as the wife of the first person who found the body.
Lu Ming took him to the scene of the crime, as a soldier, he might have seen more corpses than living people. But the man's death was so strange that his face overflowed with a somewhat exaggerated smile. Looking at it like this, he looks like one of those big smokers who smoked and died, but he knew that with this person's family level, he would never be able to smoke a big cigarette.
"Has your man had any particularly serious illnesses lately?"
"No, I don't. ”
"Is there an old disease?"
"Well, his body is stronger than that of an ox. ”
After a few pretenses and a long time of examination, there was nothing different about the corpse except for the exaggerated expression. Micro book bar
Everyone looked at the strange face, their eyes were half-open, their pupils turned up, and they could only see a few traces of inky blood. In addition, the corners of the mouth are raised, and it seems to be extremely pleasant.
Just as Lu Ming and the soldiers were at a loss as they looked at the corpse, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Lord Lu!"
Just listening to the noisy voice, Lu Ming knew that it was the eight-sided exquisite king rat who came.
"It's a big deal, it's a big deal......! Something happened in the back mountain!"
"What?" Lu Ming said in his heart, it was really a blessing and a disaster, not a single line. At that moment, he was going to follow Wang Mouse to the back mountain, thinking that there was still a murder case on his side, so he said hello to Shao Jiu, and then strode away.
Back mountain in the lake, afternoon.
It was supposed to be a time when there were no people. At this time, the mountain was full of people from the county seat, whispering something around.
Lu Ming led a team of men and horses to follow Wang Mouse to the back mountain.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Wang Mouse helped Lu Ming open the way. When the villagers saw that it was Lu Ming coming, the discussion became louder and louder.
Lu Ming walked through the crowd, and everyone was surrounded by the fox immortal temple that had been bombed into ruins. Lu Ming thought that what he saw in the villager's house today was the weirdest corpse he had ever seen in his life, but soon Lu Ming knew that he was wrong.
At the moment, the crowd was surrounded by a corpse, the body of the corpse was in a kneeling posture, and what was even more strange was that the torso and neck were empty, leaving only a blood hole, and a white ossified skull was placed at the foot of the corpse.
Why would a person who had just died have a skull that had been completely ossified?
"The retribution of the fox fairy!"
"That's right, this retribution is coming so quickly, our family is already ready to pack up and move. ”
The surrounding people talked about it for a while, and they didn't intend to avoid Lu Ming at all.
Although no one said it on the surface, everyone undoubtedly put the account of the strange thing on Lu Ming's head.
Lu Ming didn't speak. Somehow, that night, the words of the girl named Qi Mengzhu reappeared in his mind again.
- "This monster is about to succeed, but it has been destroyed by you, it will not give up, and Captain Lu will come to me." ”
Could it be that this girl had already figured everything out, and everything was as she thought?
Lu Ming shook his head unconsciously, as if he wanted to drive this chilling thought out of his head.
"Someone...... Let's bury the man first. "The crowd of onlookers watched for so long, and no one claimed to be the person's relatives, and people in the war era were already a little numb to the dead person.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Ming's order came out, the soldiers under his hands instead of stepping forward to bury the headless corpse, they took a step back.
Lu Ming knew that in the hearts of these people, they were born and died with themselves, and they were by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, and now this reaction was obviously shocked by the legend of the ghost and god.
Somewhat helplessly, he walked to the side of the headless male corpse, and gestured to his subordinates, with the regimental commander taking the lead, and the soldiers mustered up the courage to step forward.
