Chapter 33: Dead in the Middle of the Night (1)
In the guest room, Yan Juan was healing Si Ming's injuries. At first, Shao Huan was willing to stay in the room to see, but then he became more and more bored, so he simply went downstairs and ordered a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas in one go, until his stomach was swollen and he couldn't walk before he was satisfied.
There was an endless stream of diners coming and going in the inn, but there was no news in the wings. It wasn't until the last rays of afterglow on the horizon fell that there was a sound in the wing room, and Shao Huan hurriedly ran up to the second floor and pushed the door in.
Si Ming sat on the couch, and after a long breath of relief, he suddenly felt comfortable and relaxed, and even the injuries on his body seemed to be improving.
Shao hurriedly poured a glass of warm water, let Si Ming drink water from the cup in his hand to moisten his throat, and then took out a silk handkerchief in his arms to wipe away a layer of cold sweat overflowing from his forehead for him, although the action was a little clumsy, but it was also intimate.
Yan Juan was already sitting on the round stool, pouring himself a glass of water and eating it, and glanced at the bed, only smiling lightly.
"Do you feel a little better?" Shao Huan carefully observed Si Ming's expression, and saw that his face was slightly more flush than Fang Cai, and his spirit seemed to be much better, Fang Zai was faintly relieved in his heart.
Si Ming drank the warm water in the cup, his dry throat was moisturized, and he turned his head sideways and smiled at Shao Huan: "Thanks to Yan Ju, the injuries on my body have been healed." ”
"Not necessarily, I'm just delaying the onset of your injuries. Yan Juan ruthlessly dismantled Si Ming's words, and saw that he glared at him as if he was angry, and he turned his head sideways.
Shao Huanfang's slightly calmed heart was lifted again, she looked back at Yan Ju, and asked urgently, "Then do you have any way to cure it immediately?"
"What is the fire and thunder punishment, do you think it's just an ordinary child playing with the house?" Yan Ju put down the cup, and there seemed to be impatience in his eyes, "That's one of the tribulations." If he hadn't been an immortal, he would have relied on him to resist thirty fire and thunder punishments...... Hmph, it's long gone. ”
Shao Yan was immediately shocked and lost his face, and opened a pair of big eyes that seemed to be full of light.
Si Ming glanced at Yan Juan as if he was accusing, he reached out and pulled Shao Huan's sleeve: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is deliberately scaring you, how can it be so serious." ”
Si Ming said it lightly, but Shao Huan obviously didn't believe it very much. She looked at Si Ming, who looked indifferent, and then turned her head to look at Yan Ju, who snorted coldly, so anxious that she almost burst into tears.
Si Ming couldn't help but cry the most, but no matter how he explained at the moment, he would only make Shao Huan think that he was deliberately comforting, so he had no choice but to look at Yan Juan with his eyes, hoping that he would reconcile it, even if it was ...... It's a lie or not.
Mo said that Si Ming couldn't cry less, but Yan Juan was a lot older, and no matter how hard his heart was, there was a little softness. Although that's the truth, I don't want to hear girls cry because of this, that's really grinding!
"Alas...... Okay, okay, I'll just say that in passing, scare you, see that you're in a hurry. Yan Juan smiled dryly, but then felt that the smile was too fake, so he simply pretended to bow his head and drink water, and used his sleeve to block the gaze cast by Shao Huan.
"Really, really?" Shao Yan choked up, tears rolling in his eyes, but they didn't fall for a long time.
"Of course it's true. Si Ming breathed a sigh of relief. got off the bed and pulled Shao Xi to sit opposite Yan Ju, "There is one more thing, I heard from the innkeeper this morning that there have been frequent deaths in the town recently, and they are all young men, and the death is the same as the people in Qingping Town who have been sucked out of their spirits." Shao Huan and I originally planned to take a look at it at night, but I wonder if Yan Juan wants to go together?"
"Of course I have to go. Yan Juan put down the cup, but he responded without thinking about it, so refreshing and neat, but Si Ming had to be stunned.
However, Yan Juan agreed to it, which was naturally the best. Although the injuries on his body were suppressed, he couldn't recover all his spiritual power for a while, and if he faced a large number of ghasts like Qingping Town, he might not be able to protect Shao Huan. With Yan Judging, Shaoxi's safety is naturally not a problem.
"And when are we leaving?"
"It's midnight, at that time, the ghast yin qi is the heaviest, and the ghasts hidden in all directions will definitely be ready to move, so I will give them a net at that time. Yan Juan gritted his teeth when he said it, especially when he was so old, he should have been in the underworld for a long time, but now it's okay, for these things that sneaked out, he caused him to wander around the human world, almost scattering a handful of old bones. If he catches it, he must clean up and get out of his anger.
Turning his mind as if he had thought of something, Yan Juan sat precariously, his two small eyes slipped back and forth on Si Ming and Shao Huan's bodies, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled evilly: "You two...... Isn't it...... That?"
Si Ming understood for a while, and bowed his head slightly without speaking, but it was difficult to see any expression on his face.
On the contrary, Shao Huan was puzzled: "What is that?"
"That...... That's it!" Yan Juan stretched out two fingers, touched the fingertips lightly, and smiled so slyly.
Shao Huan tilted his head and thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason, but Si Ming coughed uncomfortably, and quickly covered up the topic: "Please also ask Yan Juan to raise your noble hand." She's still too young to understand that. ”
"Anyway, this girl is almost over a thousand years old, how can she not understand these things about Fengyue?
Si Ming shook his head slightly: "Her master is a god, and he traveled all over the world hundreds of years ago. The god of Qiwu is cultivating a free way, and he has always paid attention to following his heart, and some things are ...... I'm afraid it's hard to talk about it in detail. ”
In this way, Yan Juan also had a little understanding. Whether it is the master or Qi Wu, this Fengyue thing is really not suitable for that ...... Well, by example. But he can also see Si Ming's thoughts about this girl, but this girl doesn't understand, just like guarding a thousand-year-old iron tree, and he doesn't know when it will bloom.
Yan Juan shook his head with a sigh, he called Shao Huan to come closer, and the big palm was full of light and fell on the top of Shao Huan's head, and he seemed to notice something between his eyes, and his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Si Ming in shock.
Si Ming raised his glass for a moment, but when he saw Yan Juan's strange gaze, he was also stunned.
"What?"
"Uh...... No, it's okay, it's okay. Yan Juan took his palm, but it was obvious that he was a little absent-minded, and when he raised his glass to his lips, he found that the water in the cup had already been drunk, and he had to put it down.
Shao Yan touched the top of his head, looked at Yan Ju's movements in confusion, and asked, "Little uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Juan shook his head, as if he had some unspeakable words choked in his throat, looking at Si Ming, he didn't know how to speak after all.
Si Ming was also confused, but seeing that his appearance didn't seem to mean to elaborate, he didn't ask any more.
The time is approaching, layers of clouds and mist gather in the sky, the black curtain covers the whole human world, only a few faint lanterns are left in the bustling and noisy street, and every household has turned off the lights and fallen asleep, and has a good dream.
The three of them pinched the trick, but in the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the suburban Yizhuang. Yan Ju cast a spell, and the stakeholder had fallen into a dream in an instant, and he no longer knew what was going on around him.
The coffins in Yizhuang are horizontal, and most of the unclaimed corpses are stored here, and then find a day to bury the coffin, which is considered to be dust to dust, soil to earth, and everything in the future is just like a mirror, no longer exists.
The whole Zhuangzi is simple and simple, vaguely mixed with a lifeless atmosphere, and some of the corpses have been stored for a long time and have begun to decompose, emitting a foul smell, which is disgusting.
Shao Yan covered her nose and almost vomited, Si Ming was afraid that she would not be able to stand it when she saw unclean things for a while, and wanted her to wait outside. But Shao Yan was reluctant, insisted on accompanying him for everything, only hiding behind Si Ming, pulling the corner of his clothes and moving a little bit into one of the rooms.
Si Ming couldn't resist it, so he went with her.
Yan Juan walked in the front first, and when he came to a room, he raised his foot and kicked open the wooden door, and the bang was particularly abrupt in the quiet night, and it also shook the eaves of the door with a thick layer of ash sprinkled and fell.
A crescent moon on the horizon was faintly obscured by dark clouds, and the room was dim and unreal, Yan Juan frowned, and with a wave of his hand, a white candle had already appeared out of thin air on an abandoned small wooden table in the corner. The white candle was very strange, and a cluster of green flames danced on the thin wick, but it lit up the whole room, and only added a little more gloomy.
Shao Huan followed Si Ming into the house, and as far as his eyes could see, there were five corpses, but because the white cloth covered the whole body, he couldn't tell the gender. She squinted slightly, looked at the corpses carefully, and suddenly changed her face: "There are ghasts!"
Si Ming was shocked, and subconsciously protected Shao.
Yan Juan looked back at Shao Huan, a little surprised: "Can you see it?"
Shao Huan nodded.
"Her eyes are unique among the Six Realms. Si Ming opened his mouth lightly, and his words were regarded as giving Yan Juan an answer.
Yan Juan knew it, so he didn't ask anymore. With a wave of his arm, the white cloth on the five corpses rose into the air, and then fell to one side in unison, revealing the five young male corpses under the cover.
As the shopkeeper said, the deceased was indeed young, and his death was almost exactly the same as those who had had their souls sucked out. Come to think of it, there are already ghasts eyeing this town, and this is just the beginning.
At midnight, the dark clouds on the horizon obscured the only bit of moonlight, and the wind around them was blowing, blowing the clothes fluttering, which also made people feel cold.
Yan Juan didn't care, snorted coldly from the tip of his nose, turned his right hand, and didn't know what was more golden in his palm, taking advantage of the yin wind to sting people even more to open their eyes. Looking at the five male corpses that were originally silent, they actually twitched on the wooden board, and there were several black gases winding around the white and bloodless bodies, and there were even more miserable wails from time to time, which shook people's eardrums and made their hearts float up and down in one breath, which was extremely uncomfortable.
There was something strange in the house, and Si Ming subconsciously protected Shao Xi in his arms, and used his body to block the golden light and the cold wind.
Shao Huan barely stabilized his mind, and only then did he look at Yan Juan through the gap in his arms. I saw that the golden light in Yan Ju's hand suddenly strengthened, and it seemed to have a suction force to suck up the black qi on the five male corpses, but in a moment, those few black gases had already been collected into the objects, and the yin wind immediately stopped, and the five male corpses stopped moving.
