Chapter VII: The Deceased
"Get up! If the child is lost, he still has to go to the yamen! We have a limited number of people in the game, so there really isn't much we can do! ”
The source of the noise was a group of people gathered outside the gate of the dart game. They fell on their knees as if they were coming with a plea.
Jiang Feng listened to it on the sidelines and understood.
It turned out that a considerable part of the people in the town reported to the officials that the child was missing. Their situation is much the same, most of them wake up in the morning and find that they can't find their children. In other words, the time when the child disappeared was before dawn, I really don't know what happened in the entire Yongan Town last night?
I'm afraid that Lord Sun Xi was also caught off guard by this kind of scene. For the Lantern Night Market, he had already stepped up his patrols that night, and the officers and soldiers of the entire town had almost poured out, and it could be said that the Lantern Festival was spent peacefully in peace. But who would have expected such a change to happen the next morning......
Ma Leiyun's prestige among the people is still very high, and when encountering difficulties, everyone still habitually begs Old Man Ma, so they send him incense offerings.
The disappearance of groups of children made Jiang Feng's heart hang, it seems that this matter is not unusual, will Mu Yun also suffer from this?
"Where did the Taoist priest come from? Is this the place for you to break into! ”
A chubby Taoist priest, ignoring the guards' obstruction, desperately squeezed into the courtyard. Before he could take a few steps, he was surrounded by several dart masters.
Seeing that there was no way out, the fat Taoist snorted coldly, stretched out his thumb and wiped the thick figure-eight beard on his mouth.
Jiang Feng noticed that the fat man's right hand only had three fingers, and two fingers were missing in the middle.
"I followed the demon trail here! If I don't find that demon in time, the Thundercloud Dart Bureau and even Yong'an Town, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be peaceful! ”
"Myths confuse the public!"
Walking slowly with his hands behind his back was Shen Jianzhou, a member of the town. The county commander Sun Xi, Ma Leiyun, and Zhao Shanyong all went out to investigate clues. At this time, only Jianzhou father and son stayed in the dart bureau and waited for news.
He pointed at the fat Taoist priest and scolded: "Yong'an Town is in trouble!" You Taoist priests who pretend to be gods and ghosts, not only do you not help, but you also want to take advantage of the chaos to rob and fail? Don't think I don't know what medicine you sell in your gourd! ”
The fat man frowned, "What nonsense!" ”
Shen Jianzhou deliberately leaned over and asked, "Isn't it true that you are staring at the big families and doing things so that they can break the bank and eliminate the disaster?" ”
"Destroying wealth and eliminating disasters? Do you really think that money can make ghosts grind? If the monster started the kidnapper's business, then the negotiation really saved me a lot of effort! ”
Shen Yuanwai couldn't help but sneer: "Monster...... In my life, there are no uncommon rebels and thieves, and I have never seen a single demon or monster! In broad daylight, there is little talk here. Blasting him out! ”
"Wait a minute!"
Jiang Feng jumped out and stopped in front of everyone.
"Wild boy, what do you mean by that? Didn't you hear my father? Shen Mo stepped forward and asked.
Although the Taoist priest's face was shaved clean, only a piece of eight characters on his lips remained, and the whole person was much more refreshing than before. But that lazy demeanor, Jiang Feng was confident, and he couldn't be mistaken.
"I believe him!"
"What's the use of you believing in him?"
Jiang Feng ignored Shen Mo and looked back behind him: "Brother Qi Yu will definitely be able to prove it to you!" ”
The fat man stared at the young man up and down in surprise, and finally smiled his eyebrows: "Jiang Feng! Why haven't you seen you for three years, and you've grown so tall! ”
The child said anxiously: "Brother Qi Hao! Now is not the time to catch up, Miss Mu Yun of the Thundercloud Dart Bureau is gone! Can you help me find her? ”
……………………………………
Qi Yu looked at the door of the boudoir for a long time, and then he took out an orange gourd from his waist. After shaking it for a few moments, he sprinkled all the dog's blood on the wooden door.
For a moment, the air was filled with the pungent stench of blood.
Amid the exclamations of the onlookers, a strange blue mark gradually appeared on the wooden door.
"Hmph...... Distraction! Shen Jianzhou still firmly believes in his inference.
This mark ...... Jiang Feng remembered that when he visited the lamp market last night, he had appeared on Mu Yun's face, and he couldn't wipe it off.
"Brother Qi, what is this?"
"Demon Traces!"
Jiang Feng was puzzled: "Could it be that the place where the monster touches it will leave this kind of mark?" ”
"Not really, it's camphor ash, a dryad secretion, to be exact."
"Dryad? Did it catch the kids in town? ”
Shen Jianzhou couldn't bear it anymore, pushed away a group of people and others, and stopped the two from talking on their own. "What a dryad resin! Alarmist! Tell me, where is the child? Where's the monster? ”
The fat man confessed: "Now I can only be sure that the dryad caught people, as for where to hide, I still have no clue." ”
"That's nonsense! I think you're here to confuse the public, and you're deliberately talking about some monster here to divert everyone's attention! You're not an accomplice of the bandits, are you? ”
Shen Mo admitted: "It makes sense. On the first day of Jiang Feng's visit, Mu Yun disappeared! Such a coincidence, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no connection! The two of you still know each other, and singing and playing are even more suspicious! ”
"What kind of fallacy is this!" Jiang Feng said angrily.
Shen Jianzhou shouted behind the two: "Tie them up quickly!" Escort the yamen! ”
"Heroes don't suffer immediate losses! Walk! The fat man pulled Jiang Feng and ran, taking three steps and making two steps to grab the door.
After they went out, there was a burst of laughter in the courtyard, obviously Shen Yuanwai didn't really want to bother with this matter, just wanted to drive away the Taoist priest.
……………………………………
Qi Hao and Jiang Feng haven't seen each other for many years, and they are walking aimlessly on the street at this time, just when they are chatting.
"What about Brother Qi Hao? Are you separated? ”
The fat man's expression was gloomy, and he sighed to the sky: "Yes, you still don't know what happened in Taolin Village later......
Jiang Feng stopped and asked, "What?" Is something wrong? ”
"Everyone else in the village is dead except for me and Su Wuqian...... Including my senior brother and Yuan Xing! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng felt as if he had been blunt, and his scalp was numb. The blood faded from his face, as if it had all been stored in his heart and completely turned into sorrow.
The flying cat Dudu also followed Jiang Feng out of the dart game, and at this time it jumped on the young man's shoulder and rubbed Jiang Feng's cheek with its soft fur as a comfort.
Qi Yu told the catastrophic changes that occurred after Jiang Feng left Taolin Village.
"Everyone was fine when I left, how did it become like this...... And later? ”
Before Yuan Xing sent Su Wuqian out of the Demon Sealing Snake Array, he stuffed the Book of Heaven in her arms and let her take it out. But as you know, we simply don't have the power to guard the secrets of this book. There are so many people in the world who covet this book, although I don't know how these thieves learned about it!
Later, the Book of Heaven was taken away! In less than three years, a novel and mysterious organization has appeared on the rivers and lakes, and they have the name of 'Blood Moon', symbolizing the peak of demonic energy in the world. Legend has it that this organization is full of demons, and it seems that they are using some kind of demon alchemy, and they are very evil! I think that the "Book of Heaven" is in their hands. And the reason why I came to Yongan Town is to track down one of them! ”
Jiang Feng looked at Qi Qi incredulously: "Tracking...... Just you? ”
"I'm the only one! What's wrong? ”
"It sounds like these demons in your mouth should be very powerful...... And Brother Qi Yu dares to confront them alone? ”
"Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng, you can't help but underestimate me too much! As the saying goes, don't be impressed for three days, let alone three years! As if to prove himself, the fat man stared at the flying cat on the boy's shoulder and said, "The flying cat is also called Liuwei, and it knows human nature, and the cub has the IQ equivalent to that of a ten-year-old human child, and as he grows older, he is even more intelligent." I can't believe that this little thing is still with you. Do you know that flying cats have been with people for a long time and can learn human language? ”
Seeing the Taoist priest staring at him intently, the flying cat couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Dudu, she has indeed been able to talk to me, Brother Qi has become so knowledgeable!"
"It's not me bragging, the monsters in the world are in front of me, and there are no secrets at all!" The fat man raised his eyebrows proudly, and habitually wiped his mustache.
