Chapter 8: The Red-Haired Monster
Duan Mo turned his head with difficulty, his pupils narrowed to the tip of a needle, and a stench mixed with the smell of wine came to his face, causing his body to shake violently, the red-haired arm on his shoulder disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the fishy smell and the sea of blood also receded like a tide, replaced by a tattered arm on his shoulder, and the old beggar was solemn, staring at the depths of the courtyard without blinking.

"Illusion?"
Duan Mo quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart turned upside down, the old beggar shook his head slightly, was silent for a moment, re-poured the wine and stood aside, and said in a low voice: "There is a big murderer here." ”
For a while, I couldn't help but feel numb on my scalp, and even this mysterious old beggar said this, what happened in the Li family?
The old scar behind them didn't experience the illusion just now, but they had always heard of the reputation of this ghost courtyard, and they trembled with fright, crying and begging with a sad face: "This place really can't be entered, there are ghosts, there are really ghosts!" ”
Duan Mo did not force and reprimand as he did at the beginning, but stood in place, with a look of hesitation in his eyes, this has such a powerful illusion before entering the door, and the old beggar also said that there is a big murderer, I am afraid that there is really something unclean inside.
The theory of ghosts has always existed in the world's strange tales, and for spiritual power cultivators, ghosts and ghosts are all to scare and scare the common people.
"Old beggar, is there really a ghost in the world?"
Duan Mo asked in a deep voice, the old beggar on the side hugged the wine jar, and after a while, he raised his head drunkenly and said slowly: "If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." ”
These mysterious words made Duan Mo even more unredecided, he raised his head, looked at the half-broken Li family plaque, and was silent.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a man in cloth took the little boy's hand and walked forward, the little boy turned around step by step, looked at the little girl with a ponytail under the tree in the distance, and suddenly shouted loudly after a while: Xuanhan, you wait, I must come to marry you when I grow up, I don't want to be uglier than you, I don't want to look better than you, I dislike it! “
At the door of the Li family's deserted courtyard, Duan Mo gently rubbed the bronze ring in his hand, the hesitation in his eyes dissipated, he smiled slightly, and stepped in, the old beggar raised his head and glanced at him in surprise, and immediately followed, the two people behind him seemed to be wrapped in a huge force, and involuntarily screamed in horror and flew into the courtyard, and at this moment, the horror in their eyes became more and more intense.
Duan Mo looked at the surroundings that were still vaguely familiar, grinned, and muttered, "Xuanhan, you must wait for me." ”
The deserted ground is overgrown with weeds, rocks, sparse moss on the walls of the house, and cobwebs are everywhere, and the Li family compound, which has been abandoned for five years, has long been unpopular.
"Get in."
Duan Mo kicked the old scar in front of him into the dusty hall, and immediately followed vigilantly, the old beggar walked last, just as he was about to enter, a vague red shadow suddenly flashed, and the speed was amazing, as if it was just an illusion.
The old beggar held the wine jar and poured wine with his hand for a slight pause, then wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, glanced behind him, slowly followed Duan Mo in front, a group of people entered the lobby, and behind a broken boulder on the weedy outside, a pair of scarlet red eyes suddenly appeared.
The lobby of the Li family was very quiet, the ground, tables and chairs were covered with thick dust, and there were dry dark red blood stains on a few floors, and Duan Mo and the others walked in and raised a cloud of dust.
The old beggar dipped a little bad wine, lay on the ground and slowly stroked, closed his eyes and felt slightly, the water marks drawn by the wine shone slightly, and after a while, the old beggar stood up, held the wine in the wine jar and poured it fiercely, until the wine was finished.
Seeing this, Duan Mo took out a jar from the storage bracelet again and handed it over, the old beggar took the wine jar, staring at Duan Mo with cloudy eyes, his voice was very clear for the first time, and even had a little dignified taste: "If you give up now, I can still take you out safely, if you move forward...... Life and death are fate. ”
The old scar and the two were terrified, this time they were really panicked, kneeling on the ground and grabbing Duan Mo's trouser leg and begging the latter to let them go, Duan Mo's face became extremely indifferent, his palm reached out, the spiritual power was wrapped around his hand, and he grabbed the man in front of him who had whipped him twice, and when he was about to mention it, his eyes were as cold as a king of ancient springs, he kicked the old scar away, and said slowly: "Don't challenge my patience, understand?" ”
The man struggled desperately, his face turned from blue to purple and then red, he nodded desperately, Duan Mo snorted coldly, and threw it on the table and chair next to him and fell to the ground, the old scar hung his head, hiding the resentment and hatred in his eyes, and helped the man up, the two of them didn't dare to say anything more, and stood aside silently.
After punishing the two, Duan Mo turned his head to look at the old beggar, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Old beggar, I don't force it, if you leave, please bring the news here to my father for me, he knows what to do." ”
The old beggar seemed to smile, he put down the wine jar under his hand, and said lightly: "If I get out of here, you will be torn to pieces in less than ten breaths, do you believe it?" ”
Duan Mo pursed his lips, his dark eyes were full of determination: "I must find her, I want to see people and corpses alive." ”
"To live is to see people...... Dead to ...... See the corpse. ”
The old beggar seemed to be touched by something, muttered, and immediately poured a sip of bad wine, the wine flowed down the corner of his mouth to his chest, his eyes became dull again, and he returned to that drunken appearance, seeing his appearance, Duan Mo breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, with the old beggar by his side, it was always a little safe.
The group slowly walked through the lobby and towards the backyard of the Li family, and just as they were about to pass through the door, Duan Mo stopped, his face slowly changed, he raised his head, and sucked his palm into the door frame above, and a lot of dust fell on the door frame, mixed with a pinch of red hair.
"Red hair! That legend is true! ”
Old Scar screamed directly in horror, Qingshui City has always had a legend about the Li family tragedy five years ago, blood rain fell from the sky, and the version of the red-haired humanoid monster eating human blood and human flesh was the most widely spread, and later there were so many people in the Li family, and there was indeed no intact corpse, and the flesh and blood that were eaten were all fuzzy also confirmed this statement.
Duan Mo's body was also a little cold, could it really be that there was a humanoid monster that ate human flesh and drank human blood? Is it still here?
The old beggar put the wine jar under his armpit, walked up to the handful of red hair, put it on his nose and smelled it, and then returned the red hair to Duan Mo in silence, holding the wine jar and pouring wine, Duan Mo groaned for a while, and also sniffed it.
Fishy, foul, stinky!
The smell is unimaginable, like the smell of thousands of corpses rotting together, Duan Mo almost didn't faint from the stench, his stomach turned over, and he vomited it out without holding back all of a sudden, this is just one of them, what makes him really frightened is that the smell can only be smelled when he puts the red hair in front of his nose.
"What the hell does this smell like?"
Duan Mo hurriedly grabbed the red hair with a cloth and sniffed his fingers, but fortunately, he was not contaminated with the stench.
The old beggar's voice was a little muffled, and he said, "Human flesh, the smell of human flesh that has rotted for a long time." ”
As soon as these words came out, even Duan Mo's face turned slightly pale, my God, is it really a yin and evil thing?
"Damn it!"
Duan Mo's face became extremely gloomy in the next moment, and he obviously thought of a very bad idea, if Xuan Han also died tragically under the hands of this monster......
"10 million is not good, 100 million, 100 million is not good, half a day of business, even if this monster is the king of Hades, he will be better off than dead."
Duan Mo gritted his teeth, the anger in his eyes burned like a blazing fire, and the old scar and others on the side were cold when they heard it, 100 million? The Firms of Heaven?
Oh my God, what the hell is this kid all about?
The old scar and the man's lips were trembling, they glanced at each other, they both saw the horror in their eyes, and then looked at Duan Mo's eyes became a little frightened, could it be ......
The Heavenly Merchant House is the famous industry of Shangsheng Duan Tian, it is this commercial house that makes the Duan family's economic network spread all over the country, so that the money rolls over and creates the largest commercial house in the history of the Starfall Empire, and Shangsheng uses that money to invest capital in various fields, setting off a financial crisis several times, which makes the Starfall Empire tremble, and later had to send someone to negotiate with Shangsheng, fortunately Duan Tian has converged a lot, otherwise I really don't know what will happen.
It can be said that the Starfall Imperial Family, the ruler of the Starfall Empire, can control 200,000 iron horses, can accommodate half of the top ten powerhouses, and can control half of the cultivation realm, but it is taboo against this merchant saint who is dressed in cloth and starts with white hands.
Paragraph ...... Young Master Duan? ”
Old Scar trembled, and asked tentatively, Duan Mo responded lightly, Old Scar and the man fell into an ice cellar, their faces turned snow-white, really......
The son of Shangsheng Duan Tian, known as the first Duan Mo in the north!
The man's palms were trembling violently, and he actually whipped Duan Moer!
The only thought that Old Scar had disappeared, trembling and prostrate on the ground, they were from the north, so they knew better what Duan Mo's two words represented.
"Young Master Ben doesn't have time to talk to you now, get ahead and explore the way."
Duan Mo's eyes glanced slightly, and the two of them suddenly rushed forward, no longer caring about their own lives, they only hoped that Duan Mo would not implicate their ancestors and grandchildren for three generations, and even uproot all the people who were related to them, Shang Sheng Duan Tian's methods were really terrifying.
Not to mention that they are just a few bandits, even if they have great spiritual power, they have to tremble in front of the Duan family, and the man in cloth is a legend, a real legend.
The old beggar glanced at Duan Mo, who was full of anger, and said lightly: "Keep your heart, there is no absolute thing." ”
Duan Mo was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, arched his hand at the old beggar, and said solemnly: "I have been taught." ”
The old beggar hugged the wine jar, staggered forward, and the group left the lobby and walked to the backyard, the two people in front suddenly stopped, their thighs trembled, turned their heads to look at Duan Mo and the others, and pointed ahead, with unconcealed fear on their faces.
"I don't believe that ghosts can really emerge in broad daylight."
Seeing the fear on their faces, Duan Mo frowned, strode forward, and the next moment he looked at everything on the ground, his face was also slightly dull, and then turned into horror, and his voice changed slightly.
"This ......"
On the ground in the backyard, there was a blood-colored, coagulated dark red blood one after another, and the blood in a few places was even black, a corpse was lying on the ground, some had completely turned into white bones, and some were highly decomposed, and the best preserved was also a man in armor, but the flesh and blood under his armor had already rotted for a long time, and he swept it carefully, there were no less than a hundred corpses here!
Many fragments of shabby yellowed and blood-stained clothes were scattered everywhere, and the weeds on the ground were a bright blood red, which could only make them feel horrified at best, but the corpses in the distance made them really feel fear, it was a corpse that had been gnawed and disfigured, lying there in all directions, looking at their clothes, they were all from the Li family, that is, these people had been dead for five years.
However, in addition to being gnawed, the rest of their bodies are still intact, not rotting at all, those who are late and exploring have turned into white bones, and at worst, they are all half of their bodies highly rotten, why are these people of the Li family who have died a long time ago, but their bones are still intact, if there are no gnawed wounds, there is almost no difference from ordinary people, and ordinary people will only fall asleep when they see it.
"Die without rotting ......"
Old Scar's tone was trembling, and he turned his head to look at Duan Mo, almost falling softly.
If you die and don't rot, there will be evil calamities.
They are just ordinary spiritual power cultivators, and when they encounter this kind of thing, they are no different from ordinary people, the first thing that comes to mind is to escape, but behind them is Duan Mo, they don't dare to escape!
The rumored Duan Mo, the Qinglou singing every night, the loser who was hollowed out by the wine, actually has such a powerful power!
Duan Mo took a few deep breaths before suppressing the horror in his heart, to be honest, it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene, and at most he was desperately cultivating in the family, and then occasionally went out to fight with some outlaws, where had he ever encountered such a thing.
"Be careful, be careful."
Duan Mo snorted coldly, and then the group moved slowly, shuttling among the corpses, the blood stains on the ground had obviously dried up, but after stepping on it, the soles of his feet were still stained with blood, and the man in the old scar walking in front of him was suddenly stunned, and immediately looked at the armored man in front of him, his eyes widened.
In that armor, on the white bones of the rotting flesh exposed, there was a small white flower that was swaying slightly.
White bones give birth to white flowers!
This strange scene made several people shiver all over, until Duan Mo snorted coldly, and the two people in front of them continued to move tremblingly, Duan Mo hesitated when he passed by the corpse, lowered his body and glanced at the white flower, although these corpses were highly decomposed, but there was no smell of decay, and the air was very clean.
"This white flower ......"
Duan Mo's eyes staring at the white flower suddenly became a little dizzy, and in the next moment, an old palm grabbed Duan Mo's palm, and it wasn't until this moment that Duan Mo reacted, he didn't know when he stretched his hand into the armor, and he was about to touch the white flower.
"Don't touch the flowers that bloom in your bones."
The old beggar's voice was flat, Duan Mo was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly went a little farther away, this white bone flower was so evil, he was only dizzy for a moment just now, and he almost ran into it.
The old beggar looked at the white flower, and reached out to pull up the white flower on the white bone under Duan Mo's horrified gaze, and in the next moment, the white flower withered instantly, and the black air currents visible to the naked eye flew out from the flower, and quickly submerged into the old beggar's body, and the old beggar's face became extremely black in the blink of an eye, revealing a thick dead air, like a dying person.
Duan Mo just wanted to exclaim, but the old beggar waved his hand, poured a sip of bad wine, and his face changed to normal again, and he said calmly: "It's okay." ”
The old scar and the two were almost shocked by this scene, they knew a little more than Duan Mo, the flowers born from the white bones would die if they touched it, and the old beggar who didn't seem to be amazing turned out to be the most ruthless master.
"Let's go."
The old beggar said lightly, and the group set off again, no one noticed that the old beggar's hand holding the wine jar trembled slightly, and drops of red blood dripped from his fingertips, and soon became pitch-black black blood, and it took more than a dozen drops before the blood returned to its original state, he glanced at the armored corpse behind him, and muttered: "What a white bone blooms." ”
The four of them quickly made their way through the first area. Approaching the area of those people of the Li family, the dead people who were lying there horizontally and vertically, but whose bodies were intact, were covered in hair.
The old scar couple gritted their teeth, and just a few steps into it, their eyes suddenly flickered, and there was a faint red flash like lightning.
"Fourth...... You just ......"
Old Scar froze in place, his teeth chattering.
The man known as the fourth child was also trembling, crying and mourning: "It seems to be ...... It's not an illusion. ”
Duan Mo stood outside the area, his face swept around with a solemn expression, if it weren't for the old scar who had just flashed the red shadow and they all spoke, he might have regarded it as an illusion, such a fast speed was really incredible.
Old Scar and Lao Si stood in the middle of the group of corpses, crying and mourning, their bodies trembled, Duan Mo carefully swept the surrounding inch, his gaze returned to where Old Scar was, suddenly, he looked behind Old Scar, his eyes widened suddenly, his face changed, and he snorted suddenly.
"Run!"
