164. [164] Another man died

Silver pupils nodded, and white silk threads swam into the forest.

"That's it, I'm afraid we won't be able to save that girl. We won't know until tomorrow morning what happened. Silver Hitomi shrugged and continued, "What we should be thinking about now is where to sleep. ”

Ziyi pursed her lips and did not speak.

She's not feeling good right now.

To watch a man being dragged into the woods and not be able to do anything.

Although she also wanted to rush over, it was difficult to determine whether it was a trap laid by the other party.

With a faint sigh, Ziyi sat on the roof, and Duanmu Kaoru also sat down with her and hugged her in his arms. Yintong was helpless, so she had to lie on the roof and look at the starry sky.

The shadow of the blue grass flashed in his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously climbed into a bitter smile.

Until now, he didn't know what Bluegrass's purpose was.

How could they still have a chance?

In the early morning, before dawn, Ziyi was woken up by the sound of Suosuo. Looking down, I realized that it was the giant python that dragged the woman's body back.

It's just that the woman was in rags, and the expression on her face was painful, as if she had experienced something extremely terrible.

Throwing the body in the middle of the courtyard, the python returned to the old woman's curtain the same way, and there was no movement.

Ziyi looked at the corpse below that was almost naked [harmonious] and naked [harmonious], and his heart was full of mixed flavors.

Looking at Duanmu Kaoru, the two of them jumped off the roof.

"Strange—" Duanmu Kaoru looked at the corpse and said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Ziyi was looking around at this time, seeing if there was anything that could cover the woman's body. Hearing Duanmu Kaoru's voice, he turned around and asked.

"The people who died before, although their clothes were in tatters, there was no sign of being violated - just-" Kaoru Duanmu did not continue, the meaning of his words was already clear.

The woman's lower body was red and swollen with blood, and it was evident that she had been violated - perhaps, not necessarily human, because there was no liquid that could be used.

The little face in purple turned red.

The morning sun had just risen, and there was a thin mist in the mountains and forests.

When Duanmu Kaoru raised his head, he saw Ziyi's little red face, and he couldn't help but laugh a little - perhaps, he protected Ziyi so well that she was still a little girl who didn't know anything about the world.

Maybe -- she's going to grow up, too.

Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and Duanmu Kaoru's eyes became hot.

"Y-you hurry up and find something to cover this corpse! Otherwise, when the sun comes out, I'm afraid her soul will be scattered-" Ziyi suddenly paused, and she rushed in front of the corpse.

"Her soul was forcibly removed!"

"Hmm-" At this time, Silver Pupil also yawned sleepily and jumped down from the roof, and a white light came out from under the corpse's body and burrowed back into the folding fan of Silver Pupil. "Well, it was forcibly withdrawn." Rubbing his eyes, the silver pupil continued: "It's just too dark to see who it is." But the anaconda—"

"Ahh

With the sound of a "creak" opening the door, screams rang out behind the three people. Immediately, people followed one after another.

"Senior sister!" When Mo Lan saw the person lying on the ground, she pounced at once, and the old woman, who was also holding the snake-headed staff, walked out slowly, and said coldly: "Hmph, since you are here to help us solve things, why do people still die!" ”

Without glancing at the corpse on the ground, the old woman ordered the man to be carried down.

"I wonder where you got this staff in your hand?" Ziyi looked at the snake head on the long staff, and only felt that the snake head seemed to be looking at her as well. With a light snort, Ziyi continued: "I'm afraid this thing isn't yours, right?" ”

"You—" The old woman's face turned pale and her brows furrowed when she heard Ziyi's words.

Ziyi knew she had guessed right.

If this staff belonged to this old woman, then it would be impossible to stay up until now before something happened! Looking at the appearance of this old woman, she didn't seem to know that what she was holding in her hand was not a snake-headed staff at all!

That's a python in disguise!

"Hmph, the gossip confuses the public! The staff is now in my hand, and it is mine! The old woman was still gritting her teeth, but her gaze became complicated as she watched the purple clothes.

"If you refuse to tell us where this staff came from, we can naturally find out for ourselves, but we can't guarantee how many people have died here during this period - or even when you yourself will be entangled by the python in your hand!" Purple clothes hooked their lips and sneered.

"What did you say!" When the old woman heard Ziyi's words, she almost threw the long staff in her hand to the ground. She looked at the staff in her hand, it was cold and hard to the touch, it was clearly just a stick! How could it be a python-"Hmph, such a bewilderment, I think you want this treasure, right?" ”

"Baby?" Purple raised his eyebrows, I really don't understand how a python can be called a baby! Could it be that "this staff of yours must have been left by that Kaoru?" ”

"Yes, this staff was found in Kaoru's room! This dead girl, guarding the secret, I think she wants to swallow our treasure of Cuiwei Mountain alone. I've lived in this mountain all my life, so naturally I have to keep these treasures for this mountain—"

"Hehe, then you can continue to guard." Ziyi really doesn't want to say a word to the old woman again! This kind of thing of killing people and seizing money has turned into guarding mountains and rivers in the mouth of this shameless old woman?

Amusing!

It's ridiculous!

Silver Hitomi looked at the two women in front of her, and gently poked Duanmu Kaoru's elbow, her eyes indicated that women are really animals regardless of age, and the mouth is not a fuel-efficient lamp when they quarrel.

Duanmu Xun smiled meaninglessly, he just liked the way Ziyi looked now, that small mouth, as if he was going to bite the wicked to death.

"Girl in Purple!" Mo Lan had just been kneeling on the ground in a daze, and suddenly realized something, and stood up: "Girl in purple, what evidence do you have." ”

Mo Lan actually believed Ziyi's words a little, but she just looked up at her master, if her master couldn't see the evidence, he would definitely not admit it.

"Well, if there really is a snake, then why didn't we know when the serpent swept people away? Only you know? I think it's because you can't find out the real murderer, you don't have the ability, and you want to beat me, the baby in the mountains, so make up such a ridiculous thing. If you want me to believe, give me the evidence!" Otherwise—"

"How else?" Ziyi raised his eyebrows, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth: "Even if I make it up, what can you do?" ”

"You!" This old woman never expected that Ziyi would be like this, and she was a little angry for a while, and her old face was red. "I-I can't do anything to you, but the idea that the palace master of Wuhua Palace actually came to fight me for this treasure of Cuiwei Mountain, and this word has spread-I'm afraid it is-"

"I'm afraid that there will be more people who will beat your treasure by then, right?" Ziyi smiled, this old woman actually wanted to threaten her with the reputation of Wuhua Palace.

"Hehe, you can go to publicity, I can still afford this little thing." With a smile on the corner of Duanmu Kaoru's mouth, he finally had room to speak.

"You-" The old woman was obviously angry, but she couldn't find a way to deal with these people, so her chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes widened.

"Girl in purple, I think you should come up with evidence. And let us sisters be convinced! Mo Lan stood up, "Besides, it won't help if we continue to quarrel like this, since you are here, I believe that you really want to help us." Master," Mo Lan turned around and looked at the old woman behind her: "Master, you might as well put aside your prejudices and let us find a way to solve the matter in front of us first." ”

Mo Lan obviously found a step for the old woman again, and Ziyi didn't want to argue too much with the old woman.

Now that she has intervened in this matter, it is not so easy to get out.

Because she could feel the two eyes of the python head on the snake-headed staff, all the time staring at her.

I'm afraid that the person who manipulated this snake behind her had some purpose for her.

"Since Merlan said so, I will believe you once. This staff is indeed left by that Kaoru, and at my age, it is just right to hold it. If you say that this staff is a python, don't say that I don't believe it, I'm afraid no one here can believe it. ”

"Who is responsible for lighting your daily lamp?" Ziyi suddenly thought of something and asked.

"It's me." In the crowd, a timid little girl walked out, looking about fourteen or fifteen years old, with her head lowered and did not dare to raise it, and her voice was also chattering.

"Who bought this lamp oil?"

"This—"

The little girl was silent for a moment.

"Who is it?" When the old woman saw the little girl's appearance, she poked her long staff to the ground and asked sharply!

"It's the batch that Sister Xun'er bought before, and it hasn't been used up yet-now there are many things in the mountains, and I don't dare to go down the mountain alone to buy them, so I've been using them!" The little girl was startled, knelt down with a "poof", and said in a trembling voice.

"Nonsense! That damn girl! How can it work! The old woman seemed to understand a little, and scolded angrily: "Are you willing to kill all the senior sisters to death?!" ”

The little girl didn't dare to answer again, but just knelt on the ground and cried vigorously.

"I don't think I need to say more, there is something wrong with this lamp oil, which is why you don't know anything about it even if the python kidnaps people."

"I'll believe what you say, but what proof do you have that there's something wrong with the staff?"

The old woman was already eager to throw the stick out of her hand at this time, she believed that the three people in front of her should indeed have some skills! After all, the palace master of Wuhua Palace, that is worthy of his reputation.

It's just that for the sake of face, she had to hold the staff in her hand tightly, but she had an illusion, as if the snake head parallel to her ear would spit out a letter and bite her at any time.

"It's easy." The silver pupil, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "You throw this stick on the ground, and you will know when you try it." ”

"Good!" Listening to the words of the silver pupil, the old woman threw the staff on the ground, and her movements were so fast that she didn't look like a person of this age at all.

The people behind the old woman also took a few steps back, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the long staff lying quietly on the ground.

Silver Pupil pulled out the folding fan on his waist and waved it at the staff, which actually writhed.

The staff gradually became thicker and longer, and the lines on its body became clearer and clearer, gradually showing the appearance of a giant python.

It's just that before the giant python was fully formed, the silver pupil waved again, and the long staff regained its original appearance.

When the old woman saw it, she only felt that her arm was numb, and she wanted to rinse it immediately.

She had slept with this python for so many nights!

"Ahh

"This-" Mo Lan was also frightened enough, and could only barely stabilize her body, "Why did it change back again?" ”

"Hehe—do you want this snake to wake up and bite everyone here?" Silver Hitomi smiled and withdrew the folding fan to her waist, "But you are really powerful, you can sleep so firmly with such a snake in your arms." ”

The old woman's face turned red, but fortunately she couldn't see it on the ravine's face, she hesitated, didn't know how to reply, and after a long time, she said, "What should I do now?" If it's really the snake that's killing people, are we just killing the snake and we'll be fine? ”

"Heh, how can it be so simple!" Silver Hitomi chuckled lightly and said, "If this python really wants to kill someone, I'm afraid you will all be dead by this time!" Don't you wonder why this python dragged people out one by one? ”

"Why?"

"I don't know."

Silver Pupil's answer made the old woman almost lose her breath again!

She had never been tricked like this in her life.

Today, I was toyed with by the three people in front of me one by one!

"You guys!"

"We really don't know! If I knew, I would have solved this oozing guy a long time ago! Ziyi shrugged his shoulders and continued: "I spent the night on this roof last night, and now my back hurts, I'm afraid I don't have the strength to continue guarding it tonight—"

"Please also ask the girl in purple and the two to follow Mo Lan to the wing."

Mo Lan took the conversation in time, and looked at her master cautiously.

Seeing that there was no abnormality on her master's face, she continued to say to a little junior sister next to her, "You go and prepare some food and send these three to the wing." ”

The little girl was submissive, standing still and not daring to move.

Now like this, no one wants to leave this big collective.

After all, a person still feels hairy.

"Hey—you, you, you guys." Mo Lan sighed faintly, and ordered four or five more people, and the group nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, the old woman just snorted softly: "You can handle the matter yourself", and turned around and went back to the room.

Mo Lan took the purple clothes, Yintong and Duanmu Xun to the side room, stood in front of the three of them with some embarrassment, and continued: "The master is like this, how offended he is. ”

Seeing that the few people in purple clothes didn't speak, Mo Lan didn't stand or walk.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with you, but the three of us, why do you only arrange one room for us?" The silver pupil broke Mo Lan's embarrassment at the right time, and asked with raised eyebrows.

"It's—to be honest, we really don't have any room here. Although the sisters live together now, this girl's room, after all—"

"Forget it, you go out." Ziyi waved his hand impatiently, and Mo Lan answered and retreated.

"Heh, this woman is not simple-minded." Duanmu Kaoru walked around the room and took off the mask on his face, revealing his handsome face with a touch of playfulness on his face.

"What's wrong?" Ziyi also took off the mask and brought it for a few days, this little face should be breathable.

"This room, I'm afraid it's the room of the woman called Kaoru before." Silver Hitomi turned an upside-down mirror over and said with a smile, "Well, the room is full of the smell of girls. ”

When Ziyi heard this, he also took a closer look at the room.

The room was clean, but the contents were covered with a thin layer of dust. The furnishings in the house look very simple, and if you think about the location of this room, it is said to be a side room, but it is in the same room as the other woman's room, and the left and right are other people's rooms.

It's just that based on this, I'm afraid I can't conclude that the owner who lived in this house before was that Kaoru.

"Look at this." The silver pupil threw an object over, and Ziyi caught it easily, it didn't matter if it was connected, Ziyi looked at the little snake swimming in his hand, and screamed in fright and threw the snake out again.

"So you're afraid of this!" Silver Pupil was amused by the appearance of the purple clothes, he always thought that this woman was not afraid of heaven and earth.

"Don't make a fuss!" Duanmu Kaoru frowned and gently hugged the purple clothes into his arms.

"Don't worry, this snake is not venomous, nor is it aggressive." With a wave of the silver pupil's fan, the little snake lay on the ground and did not move. "However, this woman called Xun'er probably doesn't know the treasure of this Cuiwei Mountain."

"Why?"

"She is probably just raising snakes in this mountain, and the cave is also a snake cave, and she has been guarding it, probably because she is afraid that these people will disturb the peace of these snakes. Tsk, what a pity. Silver Pupil pulled out a picture scroll under the bed, and the picture scroll was also painted with snakes of all colors.

"I've heard of a place where women keep these snakes, and even sleep with them, and can drive them to do anything. I'm afraid this Kaoru is such a person. Duanmu Kaoru groped his jaw and said.

"Isn't she unjustly dead?" Ziyi frowned, never expecting that this matter might just be such a simple matter.

"So I turned into a ghost to take revenge." Silver Pupil frowned, now that she thinks about it, she is afraid that it is this Kaoru who is manipulating these snakes. And this Kaoru is obviously dead, so there is only one possibility-
