Chapter 81: Under the Tree, in Front of the Door8
Annan frowned slightly, and when he looked at the old man, his expression became a little complicated, and he always felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "When did this matter start?" ”
The old man replied, "A month ago." ”
Si Xueyi said casually, "So, four people have died in this manor?" ”
The old man said, "Yes, plus the one who escaped, exactly five people. ”
Annan asked, "Why don't you report so many people to the police?" ”
Si Xueyi spread out the snow fan and said, "People can't say it, so how can they report to the official." ”
Annan continued to ask, "Then how do you know if the guy who ran out is dead or alive?" ”
The old man replied, "Actually, we also find it strange, and the next morning a maid saw his body at the gate, and his shoes were stained with fresh bamboo leaves, so I deduced that he died before he stepped out of the bamboo forest." ”
Annan looked thoughtful, and did not react when he saw that he could distinguish between good and evil, so he did not ask any more questions.
An Xin said, "This matter doesn't sound simple, the three of us know a little bit about subduing demons, why don't we continue to live, we can help you find the truth of this matter." ”
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Really? Can you really help us? ”
Anxin smiled soothingly and said, "We'll do our best, but we'll be allowed to ask a few questions." ”
The old man said, "Girl, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
An Xin asked, "Have you found any unusual things in the house in the past month?" ”
The old man touched his beard, thought about it carefully, and said, "If you want to talk about strange things, there will be a burst of singing in the firewood room at night, but it will not last long, although many families have heard it, but the next day I went to check and found nothing, so I don't think it has anything to do with it." ”
Anxin said, "I just heard you mention burying the body in the back mountain, where do you mean by the back mountain?" ”
The old man replied, "Just behind the bamboo grove to the west, there is a cliff, and we usually bury them on the edge of the cliff." ”
Anxin asked again, "Since the house has been cut off from the outside world, how can you get food?" ”
The old man replied, "We have a fertile place, we grow a lot of vegetables in the backyard, and there are countless bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, so we never worry about eating." ”
An Xin said, "Okay, we have probably understood the situation, and we will check the firewood room first tonight." ”
The old man nodded, summoned a few maids, and said, "Take good care of the guests." ”
casually, he said to the three of Anxin: "If you have any needs, just mention it." ”
After thanking the old man with peace of mind, the three of them returned to the room.
After waiting for the maid to retreat, Annan was about to say something, but received a reassuring psychic and said, "Now what you want to say is conveyed by the psychic." ”
Annan knew it in his heart, but it was Si Xueyi who was the first to channel, and said, "You two also think that this manor is not simple?" ”
Annan said, "There are too many doubts in this manor, not to mention that the vigilance against us is too low, and the old man's answer is too perfect, as if he knows what we want to ask about the script." ”
Anxin said, "There are indeed too many doubts here, but no matter what, we will continue to investigate the plan without letting go." ”
After Annan and Si Xueyi nodded at An'an, the psychic conversation ended like this.
The man lurking outside the window said, a wicked smile curled into the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm starting to get suspicious, aren't you?" Just start to doubt, and let you be my plate tonight! ”
"That woman looks really delicious........."
The moon is in the sky, since a month ago, there has been no night travel activities in this manor, and the manor is quiet, only an old man who guards the door to show them the way. …
The closer the three of them got to the firewood room, they could hear a sad song, and when the three of them came to the door of the firewood room, the singing suddenly stopped, and Anxin gave a piece of talisman paper to the old man to let him leave here quickly.
After waiting for the old man to leave, Annan directly opened the door of the firewood room, and the three of them walked in, and did not see anything abnormal, the firewood room was half the size of a bedroom, and there were not only piles of dry firewood in it, but also all kinds of tools.
A cool breeze blew, and the door of the firewood room slammed shut, and the three of them frowned at the same time and looked at the door.
Si Xueyi said, "The snow fan doesn't have any induction, this house is really evil!" ”
Suddenly, a sharp object flew out, Annan quickly picked up the firewood next to the sound and knocked the sharp thing down, only to find out through the moonlight that it was a finger-length flying sword.
Before the three of them could react, dense flying swords began to fly out around the firewood room, and the three of them gathered together to resist the sudden attack of flying swords back to back.
The flying sword only increased, Si Xueyi waved the snow fan, and the three of them were surrounded by a huge ice wall.
Si Xueyi said, "This flying sword is not simple, it should be formed by magic, it seems that it deliberately led us here to bury us here!" ”
Anxin put the exile to his lips and wanted to detect whether there was any evil in the vicinity, as soon as the requiem came out, all the spirits in the world would feel it, and after a song, Anxin said, "This flying sword is either man-made or made by monsters, and the exile has not detected any evil and demonic energy." ”
Annan also detected that if he encountered someone with demonic energy, he would not be able to sense it.
Si Xueyi said, "Let's go out first." Si Xueyi pinched a spell, froze the entire firewood room, and said casually, "The mana that can be used in the mortal world is limited, I don't know how long it can last, so let's go out first." ”
The two nodded to Si Xueyi, Annan kicked the door open, and the three rushed out.
Si Xueyi withdrew the spell, and the firewood room collapsed in the rain of swords in an instant.
The flying sword in the firewood room suddenly flew out of the ruins and attacked the three of them, Anxin was already ready to bring the drift to his lips, and hundreds of sword blades formed in the air, fighting against the flying swords.
Annan didn't have a weapon in his hand, he just kicked back with his bare hands, and even if the flying sword was dense, Annan could easily kick it back.
Si Xueyi was even more relaxed with the snow fan, just stretched out his hand and used the ice wall to resist the flying sword, but this flying sword that did not stop made people feel impatient, Si Xueyi said: "Have you found any suspicious people?" ”
Annan replied, "If there were, would I still be here now?" ”
When Anxin's gaze drifted to a place, his brows furrowed, and he casually changed the style of the song, and flew the formed sword blade over.
The figure buried in the shadows then exposed its head to resist the flying blade, and then the black shadow disappeared again.
The three of them chased after them, and the black shadow led them to the cliff and disappeared.
Si Xueyi saw a few graves not far away and said, "This should be the cliff of the back mountain." ”
An Xin said, "What is the purpose of bringing us here?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow reappeared and transformed into a human form, and replied in a poignant voice, "What is the purpose?" Of course, I'm here to ask for your life! ”
The black shadow transformed into a human shape, the whole body was gray-white, the body was very thin and short, only half an adult tall, the hands and feet were very slender, a pair of huge eyes without whites, and the pitch-black and abrupt eyeballs were very inferior.
An Xin was surprised, "Ghost devourer? ”
Si Xueyi frowned and said, "Ghost devouring is not human, not demon or demon, it eats carrion for a living, and generally only lives in the Demon Ridge, how can it appear here, and the ghost devourer is a low-level creature, how can it speak?" ”
The devouring ghost licked his sharp nails, and said with sticky and disgusting saliva, "Why do people who are dying talk so much, it's better to be my plate of food!" ”
An Xin frowned and asked, "The people in the manor are already dead, right?" They're just puppets you control! ”
The devourer replied, "Well, I have eaten up all the things you have seen, and they are just marionettes that I use to deceive people!" ”
Anxin said, "You have to pay for what you have done, no wonder there is no reaction to the exile, and how can you detect good and evil for those who have no heart." ”
The devouring ghost said, "Little beauty, don't be angry, it's a pity that you're too thin everywhere, I must raise you fat and eat you, it's better for you to be my woman, I will treat you well." ”
Annan frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Extremely arrogant! He swung his fist at the devouring ghost, but when he was close to him, Annan was bounced back by a force.
The devourer said, "It seems that you are the one who is arrogant, three-legged cat kung fu!" ”
Annan was completely enraged by him, and reached out to stop him with peace of mind, "Ah Nan, this ghost devourer is not as simple as imagined, the general ghost devourer has no mind and no mind, only an endless desire to eat, never full but never able to grow a body, but this ghost devouring is very different, not only has the mind to control his appetite, but also can spell, it must not be so easy to deal with." ”
Si Xueyi said, "This is really weird, how can a mere ghost eater have such great power?" ”
Si Xueyi casually thought in his heart, "Although Annan deliberately hid his strength, it is really not easy to easily block Annan's blow!" ”
The devouring ghost teleported to Anxin, reached out and stroked Anxin's cheek, and said, "Little beauty, what are you whispering?" You're so beautiful! It's even more beautiful up close! ”
Anxin instantly knocked off his hand, and Annan on the side was even more enraged, and kicked heavily in the direction of the devouring ghost.
The devourer dodged, frowned as he landed, and said, "That kick you just hit was much heavier than that punch!" ”
Annan couldn't bear it anymore, gritted his teeth and said, "To deal with such a crumb as you, you can use one hand." ”
Annan clenched his right hand into a fist and gathered the power into the fist, the devouring ghost felt the oppression, and secretly screamed in his heart, before Annan swung his fist up, he hid behind Annan, but the speed of the ghost devourer was too fast, fortunately, Annan immediately closed his fist, otherwise he would have hit Annan.
Before An An could react, the ghost devourer put a ghost spell on Anxin's body, and Anxin became unable to move, so he immediately summoned the wanderer, and the wanderer turned into a long sword and stabbed at the devouring ghost, but the ghost devourer was very cunning and blocked with Anxin's body, and because of this, Annan and Si Xueyi became unable to start.
The devourer quickly recited a few incantations in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly expanded, and then he became blank again, and fell down as if he had lost his senses.
Seeing the opportunity, the devourer took Anxin back and said, "If you want to save her, go back to the villa, or I will let you never see her!" ”
Seeing this, Annan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly chased forward, but he had no choice but to turn into a black shadow and disappear into the air like the devouring ghost.
