Chapter 12: The Man-Eating Girl
"I don't sleep in the middle of the night and stare at what people are looking at, and everyone who watches can't sleep well." Zhang Zifan muttered dissatisfiedly.
"I don't have to sleep at night, but you, Miss Niangzi's screaming non-stop, why did you marry a daughter-in-law in your dream, I won't call you anymore, I'm afraid I won't want to come back." Ji Ruxi glared at Zhang Zifan fiercely.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Zifan touched his head, remembering that he blushed again just now, could it be that he really wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, it didn't make sense. Suddenly remembered the silk handkerchief that the woman said in the dream, and touched it in her arms randomly. It was the silk handkerchief embroidered with red plums, and a name was embroidered on the bottom corner, Lu Jinqing.
Zhang Zifan was completely sleepy all of a sudden, there were ruins everywhere, how could there be a woman appearing, besides, Ji Ruxi has been guarding here, this is simply impossible. There's only one way to say that now, and that's hell. Zhang Zifan recalled the last sentence that Ji Ruxi said: "If I don't call you again, I'm afraid I won't want to come back." "It means a lot.
Zhang Zifan himself is also a descendant of the Heavenly Master, and he has made some achievements in these days, so he must not say this shameful thing. Since then, Zhang Zifan has developed an excellent habit of carrying his own heirloom with him and never leaving.
This time I fell asleep peacefully, and I had no dreams all night. Zhang Zifan is still struggling with what happened last night, and he worshiped heaven and earth last night. "No, no, I'm fascinated by ghosts, and I haven't done anything, so I can't count." Zhang Zifan talked to himself along the way, and finally convinced himself with this reason.
"Lord Silver, Lord Silver, is he sick?" Qiankun blinked his big eyes twice, and he also had this thought.
"Well, it's not just sick, it's not light." Ji Ruxi shook her head with a wicked smile, I'm afraid the good show is still to come.
Zhang Zifan dreamed of Lu Jinqing again, this time she sat on the edge of the bed and cried, and her pitiful appearance softened Zhang Zifan's heart. Knowing that she was an alien, she couldn't help but step forward to comfort her, and everyone has a love for beauty.
"Why are you crying?" Zhang Zifan patted Lu Jinqing's shoulder.
"Don't you want me, we only visited yesterday." Lu Jinqing's crying pear blossoms brought rain.
"People and ghosts have different paths, you also know that we can't be together, not to mention that I am still a descendant of the Zhang family, so I can't ......" Zhang Zifan was very helpless.
"No, it's good that we've been seeing each other in our dreams, and besides, you've already taken someone's token, how can you abandon someone." Lu Jinqing looked in pain, and his eyebrows were twisted together.
"I, I ......" Zhang Zifan couldn't say why.
"Do you want to be a ghost for the rest of your life, I can send you to reincarnation, as long as you want." Zhang Zifan continued to persuade Lu Jinqing.
"No, unless you avenge me, I'll keep pestering you." Lu Jinqing shook his head and threatened.
"Do you think this will work for me, you forgot what I do. You didn't hurt me, and I don't want to ruin you. Zhang Zifan was very helpless, he was threatened by a little woman's soul, if he didn't want to solve this matter clearly, Zhang Zifan could hold the magic weapon, and no ghost could get close to him, except for those who were too powerful, of course.
"Brother Zifan, husband, you can help me, help all the dead souls here, they have all been arrested, only I hid in this brocade pa, I escaped the past, in order to seek justice. I don't need you to kill people, I just want to see the bad guys get the punishment they deserve. Seeing Lu Jinqing's sad expression, Zhang Zifan's heart softened and moved his heart of compassion.
"What the hell is going on here, let's hear about it." Zhang Zifan was afraid of being disturbed by Ji Ruxi again, so he had already fixed his consciousness in advance, and Lu Jinqing also fell into his own memories.
"The original mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and it is called Happy Valley. Surrounded by mountains, there are many precious herbs on the mountain, and if you are lucky, you may even come across ginseng.
Originally, we were all small households in the mountains, but later we became wealthy, our houses were bigger, and there were more people to serve. Everyone is in the herb business, and gradually more people from outside come to us.
My family's surname is Lu, and I live in the family where you picked up handkerchiefs, and I am an only daughter in the Lu family. The family's industry is getting bigger and bigger, and my father has married several aunts one after another, but nothing has happened, so he invited a Taoist priest to come back, and it is said that the magic power is vast.
The Taoist priest lived in my house with two apprentices, and my father made room for him, saying that he wanted to make alchemy, and no one was allowed to enter. Since then, there has been a strange but fragrant smell wafting from that room. It didn't take long for something strange to happen.
The unmarried girls in the valley disappeared one after another, no one was born, no body was dead, and they were reported to the officials, and the government had no clue. That day, Uncle Wang and the patriarch came to my house to look for my father. ”
"Brother Wang, and the patriarch are coming to the cold house, please come in quickly." Lu Fengyuan invited them in.
"Fengyuan, I heard that you have invited a Taoist priest with great powers, recently the girls in the valley have disappeared one after another, and the government has no choice, can you ask him to come out and count." The patriarch was the first to speak.
"This ......," my dad hesitated.
"Brother Lu, since the Taoist has magical powers, you don't have to refuse, this is also a good thing to do good and accumulate virtue, I believe the Taoist will not refuse." In the end, Lu Fengyuan agreed, and at this time, Lu Jinqing was eavesdropping in the back room.
"Since these Taoist priests came, the valley has not been peaceful, and we have to guard against it." The patriarch had a gray beard, and even Lu Jinqing felt that there was something wrong with these so-called Taoist priests.
"That's what the patriarch said." Wang Anli echoed. After a while, Lu Fengyuan led the Zuo Dao people out.
This person was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and his face could not be seen with a mask on his face. After listening to the patriarch's request, he agreed, and tomorrow at noon, he will do a magic ritual and cast a spell to find the missing girl.
At noon, everyone gathered in the courtyard of the Lu family, and the Zuo Dao people set up props and cast spells. The originally bright sky was instantly obscured by dark clouds, and it seemed like night for a while.
"The master is really strong in magic." Everyone nodded in appreciation.
When the sky lit up again, there was a place written on each charm, and they were sent to everyone to find it according to their directions. Sure enough, the thirteen girls who had gone missing before dark were all found.
Everyone said that God had brought a lot of money to reward the Zuo Dao people. It's just that the missing girl can't speak when she comes home, her eyes are glazed, and she doesn't care about it, thinking that she is so scared that people are taking care of it, after all, people have found it.
Immediately afterward, all the family's possessions were lost overnight. The tragedy struck that night.
There were terrible screams everywhere. Lu Jinqing didn't dare to stay in the house.
"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui." She called out the name of the personal maid and there was no response, she just searched for it, and saw one of Xiao Cui's shoes dropped at the door of the alchemy room. Pushing open the door, Xiao Cui's body hung on the Dan furnace, which had been roasted dry, and the corpse oil was dripping into the Dan furnace one by one.
Lu Jinqing held back his nausea and ran to find his father, it was too late. She saw two people eating her father's body, and the internal organs and intestines were covered with blood.
"Ahh Lu Jinqing ran out, every household is like this, and the thirteen missing girls have become man-eating devils at this moment.
Lu Jinqing saw Uncle Wang cut off one of the arms with a knife, as if she didn't know the pain, she continued to move forward, with infinite strength. These thirteen people, nay, are no longer human beings, and they have eaten up the entire valley.
Lu Jinqing was already scared stupid, she didn't want to be eaten, she didn't want to. She lit the torch and saw the apprentice of the left Daoist chasing after her. She ran to the kitchen and threw the cooking oil everywhere.
"Don't come, don't come." Frightened look at the people walking forward.
"Well, you will be my most perfect work." The cold voice of the left Dao man seemed to have a magic power to attract Lu Jinqing forward.
Lu Jinqing walked towards him step by step, the sparks splashed from the torch in her hand burned her hand and recalled her senses. It's his eyes, and he has a problem with his eyes. Lu Jinqing thought of Xiao Cui's corpse, those devils who ate people, and threw down the torch without hesitation, the fire spread instantly, and Zuo Daoren and the others retreated.
Lu Jinqing hid the silk handkerchief she was carrying in the stove, the fire engulfed her body was so painful, even so, she didn't want to become those devils who ate people.
