Chapter 875: Encounter with Qi Mengzhu
In other words, it is very likely that the temple has been around for thousands of years.
The things of the Qin and Han dynasties are now unclear, but Qi Mengzhu grew up in a famous Taoist family since he was a child, and naturally inherited his ancestral business and was well versed in the affairs of ghosts and gods.
"I think that the original fox fairy temple should not be used to worship the fox fairy, but to suppress it. Qi Mengzhu said faintly, holding a talisman in her hand and chanting silently.
After a while, the headless male corpse that had been kneeling on the ground finally slowly collapsed.
Lu Ming frowned: "Suppression?"
"That's right, it's repression. The reason why this temple is somewhat similar to the Taoist temple is that in ancient times, the believers of Taoism were very large-scale in the Central Plains, and people would add some Taoist elements to it when they built it in the later period; ”
"So...... The disaster in the lake is now because of the escape of this monster?"
"Transfiguration beasts are spiritual creatures, both evil and lewd. If a demon fox wants to cultivate into a human body, it must go through thousands of years of cultivation. It should have been a thousand years since she was last suppressed, and it was when she regained her human form. ”
Qi Mengzhu looked up at the lonely moon and let out a long sigh.
"So those sturdy men in the village who died suddenly and mysteriously......" Lu Ming's forehead was bruised, if it was artificial, he would dig three feet into the ground to find out the criminals, but once the evil was involved, I am afraid that Huzhong County would have no peace.
"You've guessed it right, most of those dead men are greedy for women, and they are the best targets for transfiguration beasts to absorb yang energy. ”
"But most of them died in their beds in their own homes, if according to what you said, the illusion beast seduces these lustful people with its hue, and the men still have wives and parents in the house, can it not enter the house in a grand manner?" Lu Ming was still very resistant to the statement that the illusion beast harmed people.
Qi Mengzhu didn't answer his question immediately, but lifted the skull in his hand to Lu Ming's eyes, and showed a weird smile.
Lu Ming had never seen any woman who could hold a skull so calmly.
"Before the transformation of alien beasts into adults, a very important step is to worship Beidou with a skull, and if the skull does not fall, it will turn into a human. And the person in front of us is obviously not ingested by the demon fox soul yang energy. Rather, it is offered as a sacrifice to complete this final step. Qi Mengzhu said and looked at the skull in front of him.
"Pity this young man, he only came up to the mountains to chop wood, and he is completely different from the stupid men who died in their beds in the town. ”
"You little girl, why do you talk like that. Lu Ming couldn't help but say.
And Qi Mengzhu ignored him, but continued what he had just said: "This demon fox has not been able to successfully worship Beidou and cultivate, so naturally he has not obtained a real human form. So she can only use another method, and that is to use dreams to hook her soul. The few people in the county town should have been hooked by this monster in their dreams. ”
"Then now that the transfiguration beast has not been eliminated, won't the people in the lake still be in danger?"
"Little demon fox, how can you escape from the palm of my Qi Mengzhu's hand?" Qi Mengzhu smiled, put the skeleton behind him, and pouted playfully.
"It will definitely seize the time to do something wrong in Huzhong County, because if she can't quickly replenish her essence through a method like hooking people's yang qi, her thousand-year-old cultivation will be greatly reduced. ”12345
General Lu Ming was suspicious, he was stunned by such a ridiculous and thorny thing, and he said: "So, if Miss Qi has any way to solve it, I will fully cooperate with all the military soldiers in Huzhong County." ”
"No, the target range of the transfiguration beast is not large, and I have been prepared for a long time. ”
In fact, at this time, all the eligible families in the town had already been labeled as yellow paper cut-outs by Qi Mengzhu. The yellow rune paper man drove away evil spirits and avoided filth, although it couldn't prevent the thousand-year-old transformation beast, but when the transformation beast entered the door of one of their families, Qi Mengzhu was naturally able to feel it.
"Paper man?" Lu Ming frowned, "That thing ran away as soon as the wind blew, how do you know that it must be useful?"
Qi Mengzhu hates being questioned the most in her life, she screamed like a hedgehog, rolled up her sleeves and said: "Auntie and grandma are authentic evil killers, our Qi family is a famous family of Maoshan Taoism, and my father is Qi Qingzhi, the head of the Qi family, if these things can't even be solved by me, it will be useless for you to find anyone!"
After that, Qi Mengzhu snorted angrily.
Who would have thought that at this moment, the yellow paper figure tied to her waist began to tremble.
Lu Ming could see Qi Mengzhu's face suddenly change through the dim moonlight, and her originally smug expression became extremely nervous, she immediately stopped talking to Lu Ming, and ran towards the mountain without looking back.
Before he could understand what was going on, he saw that Qi Mengzhu's figure had jumped far away, still holding the skull in his hand.
The little girl moved like an ape that lived in the mountains all year round.
"Hey, wait! what's going on!"
Lu Ming was chasing behind, and the mountain road was rugged, so that Lu Ming's pace couldn't be fast at all. Seeing that the distance between himself and Qi Mengzhu was getting bigger and bigger, he didn't have anything to do. can only barely keep Qi Mengzhu's figure and disappear in his field of vision.
All the way back to Huzhong County from the back mountain, no matter how good Lu Ming's physical strength was, he couldn't help but hold his knees and pant heavily, resting a little embarrassed, and Qi Mengzhu had disappeared before he went down the mountain.
However, Lu Ming didn't spend much effort to find Qi Mengzhu.
Because, at noon in the middle of the night, the streets of Huzhong County were empty, and they were surprisingly quiet, and there was a noisy noise from the corner of the street, Lu Ming's ears were alert, and he immediately went towards the source of the sound.
"Hurry up and let me in, otherwise your young master won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!" Qi Mengzhu's shouting got closer and closer.
Lu Ming walked through a few alleys and saw Qi Mengzhu standing in front of a big mansion from a distance, arguing with two subordinates, while on the other side, Shao Jiu also came here with the county guards, ready to mediate between the two sides.
Lu Ming looked up at the house and saw a plaque hanging at the door with two words written on it - "Mu House".
At this time, Lu Ming's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he had already understood in his heart that if things were the same as Qi Mengzhu guessed, the eight or nine who were hooked by the illusion beast tonight would be Mu Fei, the eldest young master of the Mu Mansion.
"What's the noise!" Shao Jiuda received a report from the masses in the middle of the night that someone was making trouble in front of the Mu Mansion, and the soldiers crawled out of the quilt in pain to travel in a team, seeing Qi Mengzhu arguing endlessly, his temper came up at once, and his tone was very tough.
