46. The 46th eclipse
In this remote corner of the community, it seems that even the wind is frozen here, a few dead leaves hanging on the old trees dance without wind, rustling, but never falling, the dirt jar under the tree is full of dust at this time, as if forgotten by time, buried for a long, long time, exuding the smell of decay.
Shen Qing stepped on the land of this small courtyard again, and the steps to leave were very heavy, and when he stepped up the steps leading to the hall, he finally turned around, swept the Chuanwu in his hand towards the dead tree, and the extremely resilient stem was wrapped around the trunk, and the little red in his body poured into the dead tree along the road paved by Chuanwu, and then went down the trunk and spread to the roots.
"Bang bang bang-" Several sounds sounded like muffled thunder one after another, the ground was blown open, the soil flew, dozens of bones that were blown up were mixed in the soil, and several jars were affected, cracks burst open with a few clicks, thick brown juice poured out, and the meat full of jars also fell to the ground and was stained with dust and soil, and the strange fragrance that was several times stronger spread out, making people sick.
When the dust cleared, there were several more pits in the courtyard, and the bones of the buried bodies were exposed. At that moment, Shen Qing also felt that the shackles around his body were untied, and his spiritual power could spread throughout the entire community unimpeded, Xiaohong actually broke the formation here, and when Xiaohong returned to Shen Qing's body, there were a few more green beads in Shen Qing's space, which were used to set up the formation.
The formation has been broken, and the absurd mime that has been staged countless times in the hall of the restaurant has also dissipated, leaving an empty house. They had seen their bodies disassembled and sealed, made into delicious dishes, and then lined up to swallow the plates of meat that belonged to someone on the table, repeating over and over again, from fear to disgust to numbness, and now finally free, dust to dust, dust to dust.
When Shen Qing walked out of Yun Niang's soup restaurant, his face had lost his initial anxiety, and he had regained his usual calm and calm, just thinking about whether the few traces of red energy attached to the fruit could be sensed by Bai Xuyao, but he had personally felt the closeness of Bai Xuyao and this red energy, if he couldn't trace Yun Niang in this way, then his pit would be dug in vain. Ren Yunniang couldn't think of Shen Qing's hole cards even if she wanted to break her head, and made the wrong move when she took Shen Qing to see Xiao Wei. But Shen Qing had a faint thought, all the things and clues he encountered today were deliberately done by Yun Niang, like the people behind the scenes were tired of playing the game of guessing and guessing, and wanted to end it.
When Bai Xuyao found that he couldn't contact Shen Qing, he knew that the situation was different, and went straight to the community where Shen Qing went, and let him turn the community upside down, and he didn't feel Shen Qing's breath, now it's okay, his son is lost, and the beauty who just arrived in his mouth is gone, it's really a loss for his wife and a soldier! Bai Xuyao directly asked Cui Yu to send a group of ghosts, and he was guarding this area, he really didn't believe that someone could take the beauty away under his nose.
As soon as Cui Yu left, Bai Xuyao's face sank, stretched out his hand, put his two fingers together in the center of his eyebrows, the red light was rippling, and the first blooming pattern was outlined between the clouds and flowing water.
"There is no life or death when leaving the land, like waves in the water. The literal meaning is to ensure that Shen Qing has no worries about life and death. This method was suddenly remembered when he was asleep when his soul was overdrawn at the end of the South China University incident. The only inconvenience is that this spell has several steps, and it must be performed for a long time to ensure the success of the "departure". In the early stage of success, no matter where he was, he could sense Shen Qing's existence and safety, and in the middle stage, every injury suffered by Shen Qing could be transferred to him, and finally, and the best result in the legend, that is, eternal life.
Letting a mortal gain eternal life can be said to be an absolute forbidden technique in the underworld, and he naturally can't let Cui Yu see it. Bai Xuyao never thought that in the endless years that followed, he regretted using "departure" between himself and Shen Qing more than once.
As soon as he was sure that Shen Qing's life was not in danger, Bai Xuyao saw a looming black gas rushing out from above the community, and the energy aura mixed with it was not the energy he was most familiar with, the energy from the beauty, and Bai Xuyao chased after him directly. In order to avoid startling the snake, Bai Xuyao stayed far behind, and at the same time did not forget to leave some traces on the way. It's weird that there is a layer of aura wrapped in such a strong death and resentment, if it weren't for the fact that the aura layer is too weak and intermittent, there will be black qi and energy escaping from time to time, and the red energy and Bai Xuyao's origin energy are the same root, he is too familiar with this, maybe he has lost it now.
In the evening, Bai Xuyao has followed to the southernmost part of S City, there is a bay island and the land across the sea, called Sanyi Island, the island triangle is sharp, the middle is wide, slightly triangular, and because of the strange stones in the mountain, the largest two stones resemble people leaning on each other, so it is named. And the mountain is covered with trees, there are many primitive vegetation and rare plants, which are classified as nature reserves, and visitors are generally forbidden to go to the island. That black qi fell straight on this island, and Bai Xuyao naturally followed.
At night, Cui Yu led a large number of ghosts to follow Bai Xuyao's guidance, while Shen Qing rushed over sensing Xiaohong's power, and happened to meet Cui Yu, and all the ghosts stepped into Sanyi Island together.
On this deserted island, the ink color shrouded the entire island, but fortunately, neither Shen Qing nor the ghosts were affected by the darkness, and even a little firefly light could be infinitely magnified and included in the field of vision. At this time, none of them needed to bother to sense Bai Xuyao's direction, they only ran towards the faint light, and Shen Qing's spiritual power had already felt the storage of the bean bag.
Passing through the rocks of different shapes, it is a steep slope, across the steep slope, what catches the eye is actually a platform, connecting the ridge, there are countless lush vegetation on the platform to cover the surroundings, there are cornices at the gap exposed, and then come closer to finally see the whole picture, here actually built a small attic, three eaves and two floors, the bottom of a number of thick wooden pillars support, three sides have extended steps, the whole building is exquisite, and the light that attracts them comes from the attic.
The door of the attic was open, so Shen Qing and the others didn't linger much outside, and walked in directly.
Different from the delicacy of the outside of the attic, there is only one feeling in the attic, that is, emptiness, because of the stretching of the space, it seems more and more empty and silent, Cui Yu instructed the ghost to look around, and he followed Shen Qing and looked for it on the first floor.
Walking to the west side of the attic, there was a small kitchen, there was still heat on the stove, a large pot of water was slightly cloudy, and there was a layer of foam and slight oil stains on the surface, exuding a faint smell of meat, Shen Qing covered his nose and took two steps back. Cui Yu took off his glasses and wiped the blurred lenses, "This is the smell of human flesh." β
"Hmm. Shen Qing turned to leave, he had smelled enough of this disgusting smell today.
When they returned to the gate, they didn't see a ghost coming down, Shen Qing and Cui Yu also walked up the stairs, the ancient wooden plank staircase, which creaked as soon as they stepped on, which was particularly harsh in the silent night.
The space on the second floor is smaller than the first floor, there are a few wings, I thought that something had happened to a few ghosts, who knew that this group of ghosts were standing on the corridor, looking from afar, there was an eight-immortal table in the center of them, Bai Xuyao was sitting in it, and it was Doubao who was sitting next to him, but Doubao was stunned with big eyes, without any look, and leaned on Bai Xuyao in a daze.
"Bean buns?" Shen Qing walked over and squeezed the bean bun's hand, but without the slightest response, Shen Qing looked at Bai Xuyao with questions in his eyes.
"He's just eating a bad stomach, don't worry. Bai Xuyao took the bean bag into his arms and sat down, the purpose was to pull Shen Qing to sit next to him, and as soon as he took Shen Qing's hand, he didn't let go, and rubbed the back of Shen Qing's hand with his thumb, "You guessed everything about the same, right? Yun Niang is the one who took the little ghost away, no, she is no longer human, Doubao will be like this because he is greedy, when I came here, Yun Niang had already tempted Doubao to eat the little ghost, but the little ghost is still under Yun Niang's control, I can't touch her for the time being, otherwise Doubao ...... It will become the saying that if it is not good, it is a great evil. β
Bean bag ate Xiaowei?
Shen Qing's lips opened slightly, a little unacceptable. When Cui Yu heard this, he frowned and directly took the bean bag into his arms and carefully inspected it, without the obstruction of the bean bag, Bai Xuyao lazily leaned on Shen Qing and told what he knew, "Yun Niang is also the proprietress of the antique shop we have been looking for. It is the eighth hall of Yama, the king of the city, Huang, went to the antique street to play around, at that time Yun Niang fled, killed Sister Wei and replaced it, one is to avoid the limelight, the other is also to get the little ghost, and then opened a soup restaurant, Xu is pretending to be Sister Wei in those days to see that you have some means for ghosts, so the dishes sold to you are normal, but ordinary people and some ghosts eat, but it is added to the blood and flesh of the little ghost, the flesh and blood of the little ghost does not know how many souls and sins have gathered, and it enters those human bodies or souls, it is to bury the cause, just wait for Yun Niang to go crazy as soon as she urgesγ β
"Not only that, some dishes directly use dead human meat, some are fresh, and some have been dead for many years, Yun Niang will also have some formations, and raised those ghosts in the soup restaurant, and buried the bones in the backyard. Shen Qing added, but he was quite surprised that Bai Xuyao had figured out the ins and outs of these things in such a short period of time, and sure enough, the second goods also had smart times.
"Beauty, you're so smart. Bai Xuyao hugged Shen Qing and rubbed it.
Cui Yu really couldn't stand it anymore, "Isn't the point now to catch Yun Niang and let Doubao come over?"
"Don't worry, Yun Niang will be arrested, on the condition that I give her some time. Bai Xuyao turned his head and pointed to the opposite wing, "No, the door is open." β
Shen Qing dragged Bai Xuyao into the wing room first, and Cui Yu followed closely with a bean bag.
The eyes are full of festive red, the carved wooden windows are pasted with the big red happy words, the wooden frame bed is also hung with a red curtain, the red candles are double, the glow is warm, Yun Niang sits in front of the bronze mirror to comb her makeup, she has a green silk hair in the back of her head simply pulled into a bun, only wearing a simple vermilion moire hairpin, but the wedding dress she wears is said to be complex and exquisite, with gold embroidered gold patterns on a red background, and a skirt that drags the floor, shining in the candlelight.
Yun Niang smeared the last rouge, weighing a face more and more delicate, the clothes were lightly raised, Yun Niang turned around, and her eyes swept over the few people in the room one by one unhurriedly, and what was hidden in her eyes was habitual disappointment, and now the last trace of delusion was also annihilated, and she finally gave up.
The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, with some sarcasm, and her red lips opened lightly-
"I want to see Jiang Qin. β
