Chapter Seventy-Nine: The City Lord's Mansion
"I was working at the inn that afternoon. Suddenly it was dark," the shopkeeper recalled: "When we went out to look, we found that it was not actually dark, but covered by those things. ”
"What are they?" said Kuzawa.
"Demons. The shopkeeper said, his body couldn't help but tremble, "After they came, the wind was gusting, and they didn't speak, they just laughed, and the laughter was very scary." ”
As if recalling a terrifying picture, the hand that the shopkeeper put on his side couldn't help shaking.
"Sit down and say. Khotan Yun pulled the shopkeeper to sit on a wooden bench.
"Noon has always been the busiest time in Chengdu, and people come and go on the streets. The laughter only rang out twice, and one person died, and the whole person exploded directly, bloody. Everyone was frightened by this situation, and when they reacted, they all ran home, and those who were far away from home hid in the shops on the side of the road. ”
"I went out late, stood in the back, and came in quickly. But no matter how fast it is, it doesn't work. "I saw with my own eyes that someone had already hid in the store, closed the door, and still cracked." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Er was a little broken, "It's not far from the gate, blood is spraying all over the ground, and it's on the door too." ”
Jiu Ze poured out some spiritual tea and handed it to Xiao Er: "This is a gift from a son on the road, you use some." ”
Xiao Er thanked, "Thank you." ”
Khotan Yun also patted Xiao Er's shoulder soothingly, so as to cover the palm of his hand on Xiao Er's back heart, and secretly input a small amount of aura to calm Xiao Er's mood.
Gradually, Xiao Er calmed down, and did not notice the flow of spiritual power in the Dao body, put the cup back on the table, and said, "I have never drunk such a delicious tea, thank you." ”
Jiu Ze smiled soothingly, looked at the brand-new door of the inn, and said, "I think this door has been changed." ”
"yes. Xiao Erdao, "After that day, the owner changed the door, but it was useless to change the door, and nothing could be stopped." ”
"Three died that day," Xiao Er said, "I thought we were all going to die." ”
"And after that. ”
Then, after three days, the demons came again. Everyone is still hiding, and they can only hide, but it is useless. When they laugh, they can kill. Three at a time. ”
After another three days, they came again. It was still three people, and as soon as the number arrived, they stopped. ”
"But everybody is scared because they might come back in three days. ”
"I heard that the dead were all people from the Song family and the Wang family, and I don't know, but after another three days, they still came. ”
"That day, no one died, there was not a scream, only that eerie laugh, a laugh that kept on and on. They didn't do it that day, but I was so scared that day, that they didn't know when they were going to kill us all. ”
"I didn't dare to go home, I stayed in the inn all the time. And they stayed that day from noon till midnight, and they gathered themselves together in heaven, and did not disperse, until they were still there at noon the next day. I was desperate, as were the others at the inn. ”
Until a scream rang out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Er said this, his eyes were full of guilt and bitterness, and his face was not already full of tears.
"Why?" asked Kuzawa.
"Because they are still killing one by one, they should not slaughter the city. Xiao Er lowered his head and said.
"We thought they would kill two more people and disperse as usual, but who knows, they never moved again, and they never dispersed again. At noon the next day, one man was killed. ”
"Until the previous immortal came, those evil spirits were being dispersed. By that time, more than half a month had passed, and 17 had died. ”
"And now, can you still hear their voices?" asked Jiuze.
"Yes, but it's all night, and every night those demons cry or laugh in the sky, and we can hear them. "Xiao Erdao.
Jiu Ze looked frightened and held his chest with his hand: "This is too scary." ”
Xiao Er glanced at Jiu Ze and said comfortingly: "It's okay, although everyone is also afraid, but since that immortal chief cast the spell, those evil ghosts can no longer hurt us." Just look at them every day, listen to their calls, it is inevitable to panic, the two guest officers do not look at it, if they are worried, they go to sleep early, plug their ears with things, can slow down a little bit. ”
Jiu Ze stroked his chest and nodded: "Okay, let's try, thanks for the reminder." ”
Because Khotan Yun was "sick and weak and couldn't take care of himself", Jiuze was Khotan Yun's "sister", and the two asked for a suite divided into two rooms.
When he arrived at the room, he threw out the isolation array plate, and Jiu Ze said: "Something is wrong, if those evil spirits are really as powerful as Xiao Er said, why do they want to commit murder several times, just like Xiao Er said, they have the ability to slaughter the city." ”
Khotan Yun said: "That's right, either those evil ghosts can only kill three at a time, or this little second is not telling the truth." “
Jiuze nodded: "Anyway, we need to ask more people." ”
Khotan: "Yes. ”
Jiuze: "There is another question, assuming that Xiao Er is telling the truth, what kind of evil spirit can come out to kill people at noon?"
The evil spirits, that is, the evil ghosts in Xiao Er's mouth, are all condensed by the yin and filthy qi, and these yin and turbid qi wrap the soul and impregnate the soul, and over time, the soul is unrecognizable.
But the cloudy qi is afraid of the sun, especially at noon, when the yang energy is at its most abundant during the day, and it is common sense that it is difficult for evil spirits to act in that environment.
Khotan Yun pondered for a moment: "This is also the unusual thing about this matter, and the Song and Wang families mentioned by Xiao Er don't know where they came from, and most of the people who died this time were their two families." ”
Jiu Ze shook his head, "Let's find a few people to verify this information first, and send a message to Senior Brother Shen as soon as possible." ”
Khotan: "Okay. ”
The two of them placed the isolation array in the room, left a monitor in the room, and jumped out of the window together.
At this time, Shen Yi had already flown into the City Lord's Mansion unimpeded.
The people in the City Lord's Mansion were not as excited as the people outside, and when they saw Shen Yi stepping on the flying sword, they just stopped, saluted Shen Yi with a calm face, and then went on to do their own thing.
As soon as Shen Yi got down from the flying sword, he was greeted by a middle-aged man, although he was also dressed in brocade, but the texture was ordinary, the feet were thick-soled black cloth shoes, and there was already some dust around him, although his face was slightly plump, but there was a lot of haggard in his expression.
Shen Yi judged that the person who came should be the steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
Sure enough, the person who came bowed to Shen Yishen and said sincerely: "Ding Fu, the chief steward of the Lower City Lord's Mansion, Your Excellency is the new immortal chief of the Huayang Sect?"
Shen nodded: "Shen Yi of the Huayang Sect in Xia, ask to see the city lord." ”
Ding Fu hurriedly bowed to the end, and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, our city lord said that he should have personally led the crowd to greet the immortal chief, but now he is sick and bedridden, and he can't get up. ”。
Shen Yi was a little surprised in his heart: "The city lord is sick?"
Ding Fu still bowed and said, "It's been more than two months." ”
Shen Yi: "Do you know what kind of disease it is?"
Ding Fu: "I invited a lot of doctors, but I couldn't find out, and the last immortal chief also came to see it, but ...... The city lord has accepted his fate, but beg the immortal chief to save the people of Chengzhou!"
Shen Yi: "Can you take Shen to meet City Lord Ding?"
Ding Fu hurriedly said: "Naturally, please also ask the immortal chief to move and come down with you." ”
Shen Yiyi: "Please." ”
