Chapter 29: Evil Spirits
Tomorrow, it's the deadline.
Bai Chen knew that even if the miasma in Guanlin Village had been dispersed and the evil spirits had been eliminated, this plague-stricken place had become a cancer in the eyes of many people, and it would only be a hindsight to keep it.
At night, there were only Bai Chen and the scholar surnamed Yu in the broken temple, and it was very quiet everywhere, obviously the matter had been resolved, but Bai Chen always had a strange feeling in his heart, which made him unable to put his mind down.
People are like that, the more smoothly the situation, the more uneasy they feel.
Until the day was about to dawn, Bai Chen heard a small rustling sound, and dimly saw a figure at the door of the broken temple, with his back bent, walking staggeringly, a little strange.
"Yu ......"
Just when Bai Chen thought it was surnamed Yu, before the words could be spoken, the shadow came out of the temple with a strange posture.
It was not dawn, and everything was vague, but the place where Mr. Yu was lying was empty.
Is it really him?
Bai Chen turned over and jumped up, and quietly followed behind the figure, seeing that the outfit was indeed that Mr. Yu, but it wasn't dawn this day, what was he going to do with his appearance? Noctambulism?
Bypassing the old trees in the village, Bai Chen saw that Mr. Yu suddenly squatted at the door of a house, curled up, trembling and trembling, and his mouth made a chewing sound, as if he was gnawing on something.
As soon as he wanted to say hello, before he stepped out, he was grabbed from behind and dragged straight behind the tree to hide, and at the same time, a cold hand covered his mouth and nose, and for a while, Bai Chen couldn't make a sound.
Hearing the sound, Mr. Yu turned his head sharply, and a strange "Titicaca" sound came out of his throat, his eyes were fierce, and through the darkness, he could clearly feel a cold murderous aura.
"Don't move." Bai Chen was caught off guard and was dragged behind a tree to hide, his body instinctively wanted to resist, but before he could make a move, the man lowered his voice and warned him in his ear, "It's me." ”
Li Tang?!
How did he end up here?
It was his own person, Bai Chen immediately relaxed his vigilance. Seeing that he was no longer resisting, Li Tang let go of his hand, and used the old tree as a cover to peek at the abnormal Mr. Yu not far away, and after a while, he turned around and continued to silence Bai Chen, and grabbed him: "Go!" ”
Before he could react to what was happening, Bai Chen was dragged by Li Tang and ran for nearly a mile, as if someone was chasing him behind, and when he stopped, Bai Chen gasped and pointed at Li Tang, almost unable to say a complete sentence: "You...... What are you kid doing? Run...... Run that fast...... Reincarnation...... ”
Li Tang was wearing a black Tang suit, also panting, the way he just ran, he was indeed running with his life, that Mr. Yu was not as simple as Bai Chen thought, just a scholar.
Glancing at Bai Chen, who was not angry, Li Tang didn't say anything, frowned, and sat down leaning on the big rock nearby.
"Eh, what did I say about you? Healed from the injury? How did you end up here? Brother Sheng called you? Is there anything else here besides the commission I received? ”
Bai Chen rested for a while, recovered some vitality, and rushed to Li Tang is a long list of questions.
"I'm following that person to get here." Regarding Bai Chen's question, Li Tang only answered briefly.
Bai Chen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react, who was the person he was talking about, and he remembered after thinking about it: "That Mr. Yu?" Then he looked puzzled, "A scholar, what are you following him for?" Entrust? ”
Bai Chen sat down opposite Li Tang, obviously this is his homeland, but he has a feeling of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country, it seems that he has really dissociated himself from Guan Lin Village, no wonder, ten years, he has been in the soul pawnshop for ten years......
Shaking his head, Li Tang was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and he just didn't seem to want to speak, for a long time, just when Bai Chen thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly asked: "Until now, do you still think that he is an ordinary person?" ”
"What do you mean?"
Li Tang didn't answer, just looked at Bai Chen.
Soon after Bai Chen arrived in Guanlin Village, when everything was still unclear, Li Tang was already there, and the reason why he never appeared was because he didn't want to startle the snake. His target was the so-called Mr. Yu, who hid the secret he wanted to know.
The sky began to brighten, and warm golden light began to shoot on the earth, reflecting on the faces of the two silent people, and then it was clear that they were both solemn expressions.
"You're here for him?"
Although they have known each other for a short time, and they only know one of the other party's surnames, Bai Chen feels that the person surnamed Yu has not only never had the slightest malice towards him, but also took care of him many times, not to mention how good a person he is, nor should he be a wicked person who is targeted by a soul pawnshop.
Looking at Li Tang's appearance, it doesn't look like he received Brother Sheng's explanation, but it seems like his own idea.
Standing up and patting the soil on his body, Li Tang tilted his head, looking at the gradually rising sunrise, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he didn't have any emotion: "If you can't see that person's identity until now, you probably won't have to accept any more commissions in the future." ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bai Chen to attack, he turned around and left.
It's not that he deliberately provoked Bai Chen, but he didn't expect that Bai Chen's vigilance was so low, if it went on like this, it would only put him in a more dangerous situation.
When Li Tang saw Mr. Yu for the first time, he realized that it was not an ordinary person at all, but an evil spirit, an evil spirit formed by a person who had been dead for nearly twenty years because of resentment and left in the yang world.
If the obsession is too deep, avoiding the messenger of the soul, and insisting on staying in the yang world, it is not the sin of purgatory, and the soul is scattered and escaped into nothingness.
That Mr. Yu, I'm afraid it's ......
"You're a friend of that badass?" Goudan'er suddenly jumped out of the grass by the stone pile, stretched, rubbed his eyes and asked Li Tangdao.
Bad apple?
Li Tang reacted at this time, and the dog Dan'er was talking about Bai Chen.
"You had a fight with that villain?"
It seems that he was really slack in staying in the shop some time ago, and his vigilance is not as good as before, there is a child nearby, but he didn't even notice it.
"Your name is Dog?" These days, he has been hiding in the dark, and he can often see Bai Chen and this child angry, squatting down, and beckoning to him, "Come here." ”
Although he didn't have any malicious intent, the face without a trace of smile still made the dog feel a sense of distance and didn't dare to approach.
"I won't go! You're in the same league as that scoundrel, I don't believe you! ”
Li Tang smiled, how did Bai Chen and this kid get married?
However, the life span of this village will come to an end tonight at the latest, and when it was dark last night, Li Tang found a man wearing a non-commissioned officer's uniform, leading a team of men and horses, secretly surrounding the entire Guanlin Village. Since it is destined by God, does he want to save this child?
