Chapter 4 There is a demonic spirit
After doing all this, Tangxi did not pave the painting scroll, and inscribed his name on the left side of the painting scroll, the demon crosser, the one hundred and eighty-sixth generation descendant of the surname Tang, Tangxi. With this picture scroll, he extradited the demon to atone for his sins, and finally pressed a palm print with the seal mud made by his own blood earlier.
When I pressed it, the marks on the scroll seemed to have encountered water, and gradually blurred and faded away, turning into a white and flawless appearance. Tang Xi put the scroll aside, seized the time herself, and continued to write her story.
Halfway through the nurse came in to feed once, changed the diaper for Bao'er, the little maid sent some food, when Tangxi wrote to the second page, the sky had completely darkened, without Tangxi's permission, no one else in the house came to the east wing, even the two people who were just waiting withdrew, went back to their rooms to sleep.
The courtyard was hung with Bao'er's swaddling clothes, as well as the clothes she had worn, although the lights were lit, but it was extraordinarily quiet, and the wind blew from time to time, causing the branches and leaves to sound softly, and not even this sound stopped for a while.
Tang Xi noticed that the demonic qi suddenly condensed, pulled his muscles and bones, and said to Bao'er, who was still in spirit in the cradle: "It's okay, don't cry when you see anything for a while." Bao'er didn't understand either, only biting her fingers and drooling.
A figure suddenly appeared in the quiet courtyard, and approached the place where the clothes were drying little by little, this was a long-haired woman, with a pale face, wearing green clothes, she touched the clothes hanging on the bamboo pole, and the feathers on her arms that had not yet faded disappeared a little, and when she turned around, she was holding a small coat of Bao'er in her hand, which looked four or five points similar to Yun Niang.
Tang Xi held a painting scroll in his hand, and held a pen in one hand to draw a charm on the ground around Bao'er's cradle, which looked like he had drawn a locust tree with dense branches and leaves.
Pinching the time, she moved the bench and sat next to the cradle, pretending to be asleep, and holding the scroll upright against the cradle with one hand and holding it tightly. Sure enough, after a while, Gu Xuniao pushed open the door, she walked to the front of the cradle and didn't feel anything wrong, and teased Bao'er softly with a smile on her face: "Mother's good son, Mother is here to take you to play." ”
Her voice was exactly the same as Yun Niang's voice, Tang Xi's eyes opened slightly, if she hadn't seen the body of the red-haired bird looming on her body, she would have thought that Yun Niang couldn't rest assured that the child would come back.
I understand a little in my heart, why Gu Xuaniao can quietly take the child away, she can distinguish the closest and most dependent person in the child's heart through the breath on the child's clothes, and then imitate her voice and appearance.
Just like now, Bao'er in the cradle thought that it was her mother who was standing in front of her, and she was still babbling and laughing, and at the moment when the bird approached the cradle, she suddenly remembered the piercing sound of the bell, this sound is inaudible to humans, but for the monster, it is simply a frequency that can make the blood vessels burst, she can't stand steadily, her body is like touching high-voltage electricity, and with a stabbing sound, the feather is transformed into a part of the cloth, and it becomes a handful of ash and falls to the ground.
When she wanted to retreat, Tang Xi urged the runes on the ground, and the whole person was trapped by the cradle. Bao'er didn't know what was going on, and Tangxi took out a small eye patch that he made when he was bored to cover him.
And then with an ink thread to tie up the whole body of the bird, this monster actually does not have much attack power, the reason why she is feared, because the biggest disaster to people is to dismantle the flesh and bones.
This pain of losing a child turned into fear, and it gave her huge demonic power. The bird was entangled in ink threads, and its feathers were lit little by little, and it seemed to be able to smell its own burnt smell, and it was about to turn into roast bird meat, but it struggled to escape.
"What's your name?" The monster also has a name, and people call this kind of monster Gu Win Bird or Snow Girl, but he always has a name: "Xia Gain. Summer.... "The burning of feathers is like burning a man's flesh over an open fire.
The pain and the smell of burnt protein made this monster still give in to Tangxi: "You captured all the children in the county?" She was holding a gramophone in her hand, the size of the gramophone was not big and square, and the black mini-film was specially processed, and if it could be recorded by the monster, this was to make evidence for the Ruan family later.
"Summer... Summer.. Seeing that the other party had no intention of escaping, Tang Xi wrote down Gu Huoniao's name on the paper, and then asked, "Where is the child you stole before." ”
"Dead. Alive. . . In the cemetery in the eastern suburbs... "The only people who can survive in the cemetery are the children who have been stolen recently, and they will definitely die in the cemetery when they get older. Asked clearly what he needed, a trace of sympathy flashed in Tangxi's eyes, those children, they are all lives, if only earlier.
"You have hurt so many children, I will seal you in the scroll for 600 years, and after 600 years, I will release you if the resentment of the creatures you hurt is gone. Sure enough, some children's portraits appeared on these scrolls, and Tangxi approached the Gushu bird little by little.
The child in the portrait seems to be cheering, but the smile is a little terrifying, the closer the picture scroll gets, the more Gu Yu Bird can not maintain his own prototype, his face is covered with feathers, but the figure can see the graceful posture of the woman, the outer shirt slipped off and the breasts were exposed, as if to nurse the young son, surrounded by many children waiting to be fed.
The bright light flashed, and a low and leisurely cry disappeared into the room, and on the picture scroll, there was a pattern of Gu Yu bird and a group of children, and Xia Yu was nominated next to it, which was the name of this monster.
The gramophone was still spinning on its own, and Bao'er's cry rang out, babbling and babbling made people feel a little sad, as if they had really lost their mother: "That voice is not, no, it's a monster." ”
Tang Xi shrunk the scroll to the size of her palm, and then put it in her treasure chest, and turned off the gramophone before she had time to hug Bao'er: "Don't cry, don't cry." The little guy's tears were almost soaking the blindfold, it must be very uncomfortable, Tangxi couldn't resist it, and hurriedly lit all the lights in the house.
It's a code between them, just light the lamp and it's solved, and the others can come here. Mrs. Ruan and Master Ruan could sleep there, and although the maids who didn't sleep in the main house rushed back to the room, they still didn't dare to sleep, and after the lamp in the east wing was lit, several people came after a while.
"Grandma's little baby, what's wrong with you, are you scared? "I saw the bell break and fall to the ground, and two of the four bags were charred and blackened, and two were hanging on top of them, and they were crumbling.
The nurse and Mrs. Ruan came over and hugged the little guy and coaxed him, and Master Ruan asked Tangxi, "I don't know what happened to this monster." Tang Xi nodded and said, "The monsters have been included in the painting scroll by me, and I also inquired about them hiding the child in the cemetery in the eastern suburbs. ”
County Magistrate Hong also rushed over at this time, he slept in the guest room, just to be able to rescue the children in time, after hearing this, he immediately contacted the police station and sent someone to the cemetery in the eastern suburbs.
By the time Tangxi and the county magistrate went over, the bodies of many young children had been dug up, some of which had turned into a pile of white bones, and some of which were still cruel that had not been corrupted.
The scene was a mess, Captain Hu was dug out in the middle of the night to do this, and he complained bitterly, digging the grave, although it was a waste grave, it was also disrespectful, and he thought that after he went back, he must take a bath with grapefruit leaves, and then cross a brazier to get lucky.
When he saw Hong Jing coming, the dog-legged smile on his face became even more powerful: "County magistrate, why are you here, everything is going well here." While ordering the others, "Be quick with your movements." "More than thirty bones have been found on the floor over there.
Some of the newcomers didn't dare to look directly at it, Hong Jing and Tang Xi looked at the scene, and the stone in their hearts suddenly fell: "Thank you Miss Tang this time, if you don't catch the demon, it won't be how many children in Dao County have been killed."
Tang Xi tilted her head, she was not afraid of this kind of scene, but she thought that the victims were a group of children, and she felt uncomfortable, and then the county magistrate said: "This is also what should be done, but what about the man who came with you?"
I thought that he would stay at the scene to catch demons together, but now it seems that this guy obviously didn't come, and he didn't even see a shadow, Tang Xi thought in his heart if he could use this reason to sue him for dereliction of duty.
Hong Jing seemed to have just remembered the existence of Sui Blade: "He was still there before, but I didn't pay attention to where he went." As he was talking, a policeman screamed and fell to the ground, Captain Hu smiled and turned his head and shouted: "What's wrong over there?"
A member of the team stumbled over and said to several people: "The corpses in the newly dug cemetery are the freshest, and the children's body temperature has not yet faded... But... But the heart is gone. ”
It was dug out of his heart and died, Tang Xi's heart was awe-inspiring, could it be that he caught the wrong monster? Hong Jing's face also changed a few times, and he walked over and took out the child's body, which was about three years old, and he was still wearing tattered clothes, and a hole the size of a bowl was broken in the place of his heart.
Just when everyone's atmosphere was in a downturn, there was a sudden sound of rustling, Captain Hu protected Hong Jing behind him, took the gun and raised it, and the other team members also used shovels as weapons.
In the dark, a pair of glowing eyes stared at everyone, Tang Xi lit the rune paper and threw a fireball over, the firelight illuminated the other party's face, only to see that the person who came was Sui Blade, and Sui Blade's body was stained with some bloody gas.
