Chapter 424: At the Foot of the Imperial City
The winter sun was shining, but there was a sense of sadness in the air, because a very tragic thing had happened suddenly, and everyone was unable to enjoy the beautiful scenery of winter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
One of Xia Lingsha's classmates had a major incident at home, and all seven people died tragically overnight, and only she survived because she lived in school.
When that classmate received the bad news from home, he fainted on the spot, and when he woke up, he cried to death!
When the teachers and classmates at the school found out, they all expressed deep sympathy, observed silence, and took the initiative to form a support group to help the girl get through the difficulties.
If nothing else, at least handle the funeral for her family first, right?
The police also opened a case, went to investigate for a long time, and the forensic doctor also identified it, and preliminarily determined that it was a fatal attack by a ferocious animal, because several of the deceased had bite marks from sharp teeth in the throat.
The police believe that a wild animal may have fled into the city and attacked humans, or a lion or tiger in a zoo escaped, but in a radius of dozens of miles, a carpet search was carried out, and various surveillance was also consulted, and there was no trace of wild carnivores.
Xia Lingsha naturally had to go to condole, after all, she had the beast god clone of the spider queen, and she faintly felt that something was wrong with the situation, so she invited Xu Zhuo to go with her.
Xu Zhuo had also seen it with his wise eyes in advance, but he didn't find anything special, and he also wanted to go to the scene to search carefully to see if he could find clues at close range.
Xia Lingsha and several of her classmates were dressed in black, bought chrysanthemums, wreaths, paper money and other things, and went to the home of the miserable classmate to mourn, and Xu Zhuo also accompanied him.
That fellow scholar lived on the edge of the Imperial City, which was at the foot of the former Forbidden City, an old-fashioned courtyard house, which was a prominent place in the past, and now it is worth at least 30 million.
Originally, this was a particularly high housing price area, but now this kind of thing has happened, and it is estimated that it will greatly affect the trend of housing prices in this area. And their house is estimated to not be sold.
The same scholar has lived here for generations, and although the family of seven has been wiped out except for her, there are still many relatives and friends, and at this time, all relatives and friends are very sympathetic and enthusiastic to help. One of the old men, who usually studied metaphysics, thought that he must have encountered a ghost, and an evil spirit from hell broke out and harvested the lives of seven members of their family with sharp teeth and claws. After all, the tooth marks on the seven victims were very rare, and they were not bitten by ordinary animals.
Therefore, the old man specially invited a group of monks to come and perform the ritual and subdue the demons. Another relative invited a group of Taoist priests to open the altar, and the two sides occupied a corner in the courtyard, competing with each other, wrestling secretly, and fighting happily.
Xu Zhuo and Xia Lingsha shook their heads, noncommittal. In fact, both of them are capable people, and it can naturally be seen that these monks and Taoist priests are just ordinary goods, and the Dharma they do is just a show, and there is no effect.
Of course, these people's transcendents were originally the hearts of the living, and it didn't matter if they had mana or not.
One of the masters explained: "This mansion was originally excellent, it can be contaminated with some of the purple qi from the east of the Forbidden City, and if you live for a long time, you will definitely have prosperous people and rich families, but it is a pity that it is ......."
The master sold a pass, which immediately caused the people around him to itch for a while, and they all urged the master to hurry up and get to the point.
"Okay, the old man will break the vow once, reveal the heavenly secret, and it doesn't matter if he loses his life in the future. The master arched his hand and motioned for everyone to give more rewards, until he received several red version banknotes, and then said leisurely, "The Forbidden City, now a dead city, has been built into a scenic area, and no one lives at all." The popularity is thin, which naturally leads to all kinds of demons and monsters coming out. You must know that this Forbidden City has a history of hundreds of years from ancient times to the present, and the infighting in the palace is fierce, and there are many women who have died unjustly, and there will always be a few people who will break out and bring disaster to the world!"
"This mansion, backed by the Forbidden City, in the glorious era of the Forbidden City, was naturally contaminated with the royal dragon energy, which was unspeakably expensive, but now, it is all contaminated with dead energy, and it is already a miracle to be able to hold on for so many years without problems! Amitabha!" the master's face was full of sorrow. I have to say that when he recites the Buddha's name, he looks solemn, as if he is a monk who has attained the Tao. It's just that Xu Zhuo glanced at his bulging pockets, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a touch of sneer.
This master, all he could hold in his pocket was money, which was 108,000 miles short of many monks he had seen in Xiaochan Temple.
"The place is quirky, we'll check it out later. Xia Lingsha gently pulled Xu Zhuo's hand and motioned him to leave these monks and Taoists alone. There are many people, and they can't let go.
"Okay. Xu Zhuo and Xia Lingsha were busy with other things. Subsequently, they followed the funeral procession into the crematorium and incinerated seven bodies.
The classmate cried so much that she fainted several times, but Xu Zhuo quietly woke her up with the eyes of wisdom, and treated her eyes and heart several times, otherwise, this classmate would have been lying in the intensive ward of the hospital.
In the dead of night, when even the monks and Taoists' rituals stopped, Xu Zhuo and Xia Lingsha, both dressed in black, appeared in the backyard of this family.
If there is a ghost, they can destroy it, and if any fierce beast is dormant, they can kill it immediately if it appears, so as not to plague other people's homes.
In fact, after this kind of incident, the surrounding residents did not dare to live and moved to other places temporarily.
Xu Zhuo searched carefully in the courtyard, but there were still no clues. Since it was all concrete, there were not even the footprints of the beast that committed the crime. In addition, there are many people during the day, even if there are shallow marks, they have long been stepped on by people.
"Hmm, there seem to be footprints on the other side of the Imperial City. Xu Zhuo carefully observed with his wise eyes, and finally found a trace, and immediately, the two crossed the tall imperial city wall and came to the Forbidden City.
The moment they landed, ripples suddenly appeared in the space, and then, a roar of a beast came, and a leopard with flame patterns on its back suddenly jumped out of the space.
"Wormhole! no, it's a spatial rift!" Xu Zhuo and Xia Lingsha reacted quickly, and glanced at each other, both seeing the surprise in their eyes.
This place can lead to other worlds, or, to other times on Earth. If it's the latter, it must be from ancient times. Otherwise, there would be no such bizarre leopard in modern times.
"Roar~" The flame-patterned leopard found the human being, and immediately pounced like lightning, it was like a little calf, its teeth were blood-red like a crystal blood knife, and when the attack broke out, there was a rolling flame breath on its body!
It's a monster.
