Chapter 274: Clever Killing
VIP chapter content,
The person who fell to the ground was instantly trampled and drowned by the crowd, and Mu Yun had no time to answer Helian Tao's question, because the gray mist changed rapidly when the crowd was restless, and there was a faint tendency to dive! Li Shuci heard the buzzing sound and became extremely clear, thinking of the 'gray ghost locust' that was constantly being screamed, and immediately understood that the sound must be that this group of things were flapping their wings rapidly.

The things that could make the people of Great Xia, who were accustomed to seeing poisonous insects and Gu worms, panic so much were enough to show how dangerous it was.
At this time, the three-legged giant tripod incense burner standing in front of the main hall was squeezed down by the crowd hugging in front of the crowd, making a dull sound of 'bang', smashing on the crowd, hundreds of catties of weight, it is conceivable that the lives of more than a dozen people may not be saved, and the countless lit incense sticks and incense ashes in the incense burner suddenly poured out, and another group of people screamed.
The incense sticks in the Buddhist temple are made of special offerings, it is very difficult to extinguish, at this time the sparks fall on the hair of the people, on the clothes, most of them have sporadic flames, although the fire is not big, as long as it rolls on the ground can be extinguished, but at this time, where is the open space, let them extinguish the fire? People always have a natural fear of fire, seeing a person's hair burn instantly, the people around him are even more frightened to crawl, for fear of contaminating themselves, for a while, the scene that has been out of control has become more and more chaotic.
Li Shuci and the others struggled to get out in the noisy and boiling crowd, but they were right in the middle of the crowd, and there was still a long distance from the periphery. The swarm of insects had already flown above the crowd, and Li Shuci could even see their appearance clearly. The three pairs of slender and thin wings of the 'Gray Ghost Locust' shook rapidly, and their whole body was blue and gray, and only one pair of eyes were black and shiny, as if coated with a layer of metallic luster.
"What to do! That swarm of bugs is coming down! Liu Rudao's scalp was numb, and he protected Helian Yu in his arms, trying his best to maintain balance.
Mu Shan and Mu Yun glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes, and at this moment, Li Shuci's ears moved, and he turned his head in horror, and a gray ghost locust somehow broke away from the team and rushed in their direction, as fast as thunder. She didn't have time to react before the grey locust slammed into her face! Its eyes glow as black as black rocks, and it's creepy!
Between the lightning and flint, Li Shuci almost thought that she was going to die, and a ball of fire appeared in front of her eyes.
The body of the gray ghost locust burned into a charred black mass and fell. Mu Yun's hand holding the fire fold trembled slightly: "They like to eat people's eyes......"
"No wonder that thing's eyes are amazingly bright." Li Shuci got goosebumps all over his body. "They're afraid of fire?"
However, even if they are afraid of fire, they cannot light a fire in such a crowd. The fire was quickly extinguished, and the attention of several people was suddenly looked at the place where they screamed in front of them.
The gray mist suddenly swirled and swept towards the crowd below, like a small gray hurricane. In an instant, five or six people were drowned in the gray torrent at the same time, and when the gray ghost locusts opened three times, only the few people were left with scattered flesh, only the eyes were gnawed cleanly, and a few skeletons fell to the ground with a frenzied mass of black hair.
"Ahh Come on! ”
"Cannibalism! Cannibalism! ”
The cry was loud, and someone in the crowd suddenly took the opportunity to climb up to the crowd, trying to escape by stepping on their shoulders and heads, but the result of this was only to attract the attention of the gray locusts more quickly. Tens of thousands of devouring locusts hovered over the crowd, and all the people in Hongyin Temple were their designated food.
"What to do! Like a knife, I'm afraid. Helian Yu was about to collapse at this time, and several of the surrounding guards had been scattered and were out of sight, Qingge and Helian Tao protected Li Shuci one after the other, staggering around looking around, looking for an opportunity.
Li Shuci gradually calmed down in Helian Tao's arms, and the chaotic voices around her receded from her ears, "No! There is not a single monk in this temple! From the moment they came in, their eyes were full of people who had come to offer incense, and they didn't even see a single monk, "This is a killing game, who are you going to kill?" ”
Several people around were shocked when they heard this, and Mu Yun said: "Although these gray ghost locusts are fierce, they are cautious by nature, they will only attack lone people or animals, and they will not leave their territory in general!" Could it be something that drew them in? ”
Li Shuci watched the gray ghost locusts in front of him swoop down again and again into the crowd contaminated with incense ash and firelight, and said in horror: "Incense! It's the incense burned in those incense burners, which must have something mixed in it, otherwise, why don't they hide when they see the fire, and rush up desperately! ”
Several people suddenly remembered that the gray mist appeared when the smoke in the incense burner was extremely thick. And they have been crowded in the temple for a long time, and their bodies are stained with the smell of this incense, "But no matter how powerful this incense is, can it float deep into the mountains and attract them here?" It's impossible! ”
Li Shuci frowned, and looked around, just when her eyes swept over the Huanghuali reliefs in the corridor, she suddenly faintly heard a very low whistle that was long and short, she stared carefully, and suddenly found that on the beam on the top of the corridor, a cyan corner was exposed. "There!" She pointed to the place, "Somebody's blowing a melody there to control these bugs." ”
Helian Tao's eyes flashed, and the flying blade in his hand shot wildly, the man seemed to hear the sound of breaking the sky and remembered, and the whistle was broken, but unfortunately when he reacted to the ancient times, the dagger had been pierced in his foot, and suddenly fell from the beam, at this moment, Liu Rudao threw out a few flying stars, and immediately pierced the person's body.
The gray ghost locusts in the air froze for a moment, and there was a brief confusion in the buzzing sound, and then they quickly broke away from the crowd as if they were frightened, hovering in the air for a moment, and then flew away from the Hongyin Temple, as suddenly as they appeared.
After a moment of silence in the temple, laughter and crying rang out at the same time, some were glad that they had escaped from danger and picked up a small life, and some people hugged their dead companions and wept uncontrollably. Except for the dead and wounded, the rest of the people could not wait to disperse from all sides, never wanting to set foot in this place again, and did not even dare to turn back.
"This Hongyin Temple must have done something harmful to heaven and reason, and it should be retributed on us! What fucking bad luck! Those who were only slightly injured walked up and down the temple, trying to find a monk to ask for an explanation, "Damn, where are these bald donkeys!" Why didn't I see any of them! ”
"Yes! Why don't you have a monk? Could it be that they did it? As soon as these words came out, some people immediately started to talk about it. This gray ghost locust never comes out of the mountains, and it is afraid of many people, how can it fly here for no reason! There must be quirks! ”
"Report to the officer! These black-hearted people must be trying to kill for money! ”
"Lao Tzu will never come to this place again! Hurt Yin Virtue! "There was a lot of complaining and cursing all around.
The man who had just been hit under the porch had been captured by the guards, and there were several bloody holes on his body. Li Shuci and his entourage calmed down for a moment, looking at the tragic scene around them, and felt sorry for them. "Let's go to the apse and see, this is unusual."
Dragging the people in Tsing Yi, several people walked through the injured crowd and the dry bones that had been eaten, their faces were extremely different, if they were a little later, I am afraid that this would be the end. "It's horrible......"
The main hall was empty, and there was a faint whining sound in the apse, Helian Tao kicked them away, only to see countless gray-clothed monks sitting or tied together, all unconscious, only one monk seemed to have just woken up, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately struggled to widen his eyes and beg for help. Mushan stepped forward and took out the rags from the monk's mouth and asked, "How did you get tied up here!" ”
The monk must have heard the frightened screams of the front hall, and was also frightened, and without knowing what had happened, he pointed to the man they were dragging in their hands and said, "It's him, it's him who drugged our food...... This man has lived in our temple for several days, and he is polite and very kind, and we didn't check it for a while, and we actually let him take advantage of the loophole......"
"How can you be so sure it's him who drugged it?" Li Shuci saw that the monk's eyes flickered, as if he was hiding something, so he suddenly asked.
"Because, because we woke up not long after we were tied up, he was the only outsider in this temple!"
"You're lying!" Li Shuci kicked the monk in the face, perhaps related to the toxins in her body, her temper became more and more impatient, she could not listen to the slightest deception, and did not have the patience to talk nonsense with others, she took out the dagger in her sleeve, slid from his cheek to the neckline, and forced him to tilt his head.
Everyone followed the tip of Li Shuci's knife and saw that there was an inconspicuous red mark on the monk's neck. Li Shuci sneered, pulled the unconscious man in Tsing Yi from the guard's hand, and pushed his hair in a bun in front of the monk. "Hmph, I'm still a meat and wine monk who is not taboo in meat and vegetables!"
Helian Tao's face was slightly gloomy, and he glanced at the man in Tsing Yi with his hair scattered, "It's actually a woman?" He pulled Li Shuci over, as if he didn't want her to get too close to the filth. The monk glanced at the woman in green clothes, and the look of greed and jealousy flashed in his eyes. Li Shuci stood up according to the strength of Helian Tao's hand, looked at the monk and said disdainfully: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it now, otherwise, don't blame the knife in my hand and look down on you!" ”
The monk subconsciously glanced at the shiny blade in Li Shuci's hand, and said, "What I said is true, it was her, she did it, I just accepted her silver...... She just told me to put the drugged in my food, and I didn't know anything else......"
Li Shuci's brows furrowed fiercely, Helian Tao was afraid that she would step forward again, so he took out the long sword on his waist and stabbed a few holes in the monk's body, but it was not to death, the monk was frightened, and said: "Everyone, slow down, slow down, I say ......"
