Chapter 147: Twenty-Five

After the two discussed, the black-robed middle-aged man showed a satisfied look on his face, and took the green-robed old man out of the pool, and watched him gradually move away.

"Well, Bai Lao is still very loyal to me," the black-robed middle-aged man touched the beard on his chin, and the corners of his mouth smiled, "At a critical time, it is still easy to use your own people." ”

......

But it was said that the old man in the green robe walked and walked, and suddenly drilled into the mountain, and changed into a lush weeping willow with a sparse appearance.

In a moment, the ordinary weeping willow had a faint green light on it, and an old voice whispered from the tree: "Master, the matter has been revealed, and the king of the east wants to arrest you." ”

......

......

Of course, Zhao Ting did not have the leisure time to listen to the sound of Dian Bai's "Erwuzai", he was fighting with Lin Sijun at this time from the south gate and heading towards the Leopard Jian Village in the middle reaches of the Jiuqu River.

Earlier, he had heard that a talking scarecrow was born in a wheat field in Leopard Village.

Legend has it that the scarecrow had been standing in the wheat field for a long time, and every day several crows flew and killed him, and for some reason, he slowly turned into a spirit.

At first, it is to seduce the children who are playing hide and seek in the wheat fields, kill them with some strange force, let the crows peck at the corpses of these children, and clean up the scene.

Later, more children disappeared in the village, and the villagers of Baojian Village noticed this unusual and strange scarecrow. They wanted to burn the scarecrow to death with a fire, but when the fire was lit, they felt that the fire seemed to burn on their bodies, and the pain was so intense that it was unbearable.

The two middle-aged men in the village who lit the fire were burned to death by the ...... "air" in front of everyone's eyes, or something that could not be detected by the naked eye at all.

The matter got bigger, and most of the villagers in Baojian Village hastily moved away, not daring to stay here longer. This solid village, which originally had a hundred and ten people, soon became a ghost village. Occasionally, when people pass by, they can always hear the sound of children playing and playing on the edge of the wheat field next to the village.

The more this matter spreads, the more evil it becomes, and it is widely known, so Zhao Ting was fortunate to learn about it, and paid attention to the "ominous" scarecrow in Leopard Jian Village.

According to his observation in "Strange Demons", there is also a precedent for this kind of "ominous" metamorphosis transformed from a "scarecrow". The book says that this kind of monster is very rare, and the conditions for its appearance are extremely harsh, and it must be created at the right time, for its cause, and then with a certain emotion.

Of course, the "unknown" created by such difficulties is not trivial.

In "Strange Demons" alone, the three magical powers of the scarecrow are recorded.

The first form is called "fear deterrence", which seems to be some kind of supernatural power based on mental power, which can exert influence on the spiritual will of others.

This is a rare and good supernatural power.

Because among the many supernatural powers of the "ominous", as long as they can be related to the "mental power", they can be regarded as superior supernatural powers.

For example, Zhao Ting's [Illusion].

After all, such an ethereal thing as mental power, ordinary spirit clans or "ominous", all began to slowly come into contact with it after refining the god realm or the fourth order, and if you have the "mental power supernatural power" first, it means that you can be one step ahead of others and ahead of your peers in mental power.

Therefore, every "ominous" wants to have "mental powers", but not every "ominous" has it.

The second form of the scarecrow's supernatural ability is called "Raven".

According to "Strange Demons", this magical power can summon the souls of dead crows from the netherworld and make them fight for themselves. The ravens are numerous, lifeless, and lightning-like, and mortal mortals are the most loyal companions of the scarecrows.

The third type is called "curse", about this supernatural power, there is no detailed record in the book, just a few strokes, Dao, the destructive power is amazing, the destructive power of the third-order scarecrow is comparable to the ordinary fourth-order "unknown". Well, it's also an extremely powerful supernatural power.

In other words, in Zhao Ting's opinion, this scarecrow is simply a treasure, these magical powers, all are treasures, and they are very suitable for transplanting to Lin Sijun.

Therefore, he came, and he came with Lin Sijun.

When they walked halfway to the road, it was raining lightly, but fortunately, Zhao Ting prepared an oil-paper umbrella in the box, so the two of them did not get wet, but they were afraid of the muddy mountain road and were afraid of falling in the rain, so the two abandoned the horses, and Zhao Ting supported Lin Sijun and walked slowly along the mountain road.

When we arrived outside Leopard Creek Village, it was already dusk, and the rain had stopped early, only the dilapidated eaves that had not been inhabited for a long time were still dripping with water.

"Tick Tick ......"

The village is silent and empty, and the main road is in disrepair and rugged, providing the terrain for the accumulation of rain, and small puddles are quietly lying across the road, like a naturally formed mirror.

"Brother Zhao, if there is really a scarecrow in this village, then ......" After observing for a while, Lin Sijun pointed to a heavy yellow wheat field behind the village, and said softly and affirmatively: "It must be in that wheat field!"

These words made Zhao Ting glance at her with interest, and then looked at the wheat field she was pointing to, and asked with a smile: "How do you know, aren't you afraid?"

Lin Sijun smiled at him and said, "With Brother Zhao here, Sijun is naturally not afraid." Brother Zhao, let's see, although the dozens of acres of wheat fields behind this village are roughly the same, the one mu that Sijun refers to is a little different from other wheat fields. ”

"Although it was harvest time at this time, because most of the people of this leopard stream village had fled from this place, no one cared about the wheat in the field when it was ripe, and it was often pecked by sparrows, crows and other birds, and the wheat field was made a mess by these birds, and even the wheat straw was crooked and stuck to the ground. ”

"There is nothing special about this, except that the mess of that acre of wheat field is much better than that of the surrounding wheat fields. What does this mean? It shows that the birds visit that acre of wheat field far more often than any other wheat field. But if they were all normal wheat fields, the birds' choices would never be so consistent. ”

"Yes, Sijun guessed that there must be something special in that acre of wheat field that is attracting birds, so it will cause the current scene. ”

Hearing Lin Sijun's incisive analysis, Zhao Ting couldn't help but show a look of approval on his face.

In fact, as soon as he entered the village, he noticed the breath of the scarecrow, which was in the mu of wheat field that Lin Sijun was referring to. But he deliberately didn't say it, but wanted her to rely on her own observation to find the scarecrow, but in less than a moment, Lin Sijun accurately found out where the scarecrow was hiding, which also made him feel impressed by the girl's delicate mind.

"Well," Zhao Ting smiled slightly and nodded, "You and I see the same thing, and I think the same way." ”
