Chapter 169: Dayday Ghost
The bells are ringing, and the cold wind is blowing.
Chang Hu only vaguely remembered that he was competing with Chengkong at that time, and when he woke up again, he was sitting in the attic of the martial arts courtyard.
The memory of the competition was intermittent, and he couldn't remember what happened next.
Could it be ......
He was defeated by the old monk of Chengkong?
Chang Hu was stunned for a long time, only to find that Gu Yun and Wang Lu were standing in front of him.
The earth-shattering bells are still ringing, and between the two bells, you can still hear the sound of hurried footsteps.
On top of that, he felt like he was feeling a little chilly on the top of his head.
"You're finally awake, are you alright?"
"It's okay, did I lose the previous competition?"
"No, you were knocked unconscious by me."
Gu Yun solemnly admitted what he had done, "That old monk has some skills, and it won't be too late to fight again when we figure out their spells." β
If it were someone else, Chang Hu would probably be about to break out and hurt people at this moment, but whenever he saw Gu Yun, he would think of all kinds of beautiful human qualities.
This man, when he goes out, he should value peace.
"What's the matter with this bell?"
Chang Hu was awakened by Zhong Ming.
The frequency of the bells was much more rapid than in the early morning, and with the bursts of footsteps outside the walls, he felt that it was not as simple as telling the time.
It sounds more like an alarm.
"I don't know, maybe it's because the monks are eating?"
Gu Yun analyzed based on his past experience - when he was working outside in the past, whenever it was time for a meal, those listless and crumbling colleagues would turn into warriors one after another, rushing to the lunch service point with the momentum of being a husband and wife.
Because once you go late, you can only choose someone else to pick the rest.
"I don't see it."
Wang Lu shook his head and said, you wait here, I'll go and ask.
β¦β¦
A few minutes later, Wang Lu returned to the two with a solemn face.
"The monks of the martial arts academy said that they are now going to patrol the mountain."
"Patrolling the mountains?"
"It is said that a master of the late generation was attacked, and the people who went up the mountain with him were not spared."
Wang Lu estimated the situation in the outside world.
Since they went up the mountain, all kinds of communication equipment have been in a state of paralysis, and the monks of the Hidden Dragon Temple do not have any high-tech communication tools, so only when the monks are out patrolling the mountain, can they accidentally find the corpse.
"I don't know the exact situation, I can't tell you what happened to them."
"Attacked by wild beasts?"
Chang Hu remembered the vision they had encountered during their hunt last nightβthe group of wild boars gathered together, as if they were plotting something.
"I don't see it."
Wang Lu shook his head and said.
After coming to the Hidden Dragon Temple, he has secretly arranged the monks he encountered, the weakest is undoubtedly the little monk of Jue Chan and Jue Yuan, except for Master Huijue, the strongest is naturally the old monk of the Cheng generation, the hall master of the martial arts academy and the hall master of the inner courtyard are all Cheng Zi generation, and under the Cheng word generation, it is Chi Xin, Chi Xin, the mainstay of these Chi Zi generations.
The monks of the Chi Zi generation should have completed the cultivation of the martial academy and the inner courtyard before they were sent to the bottom of the mountain.
If you really want to fight with all your might, I'm afraid there will be no problem in holding on to Chang Hu's hands for one hundred and eighty rounds.
The monk of the late generation, plus a master of similar strength, was killed by a group of wild boars, which is a little unlikely.
What's more, if it was a wild boar, the monks of the Hidden Dragon Temple would not be as aggressive as they are now.
"Let's go out and investigate, and by the way, maybe we can take advantage of the chaos to hunt a few wild boars and hide."
Chang Hu proposed.
"That's what I thought too."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a while, the mountain road outside the temple.
"Amitabha."
Chengkong looked at the corpse found by the disciples, and sighed helplessly, "Senior Brother Chengqing, it seems that they should have been poisoned by the corpse." β
The faces of the two corpses were terrifying, especially the gray-robed Taoist priest, the skin on his face was blue and purple, his eyes were round, and the skin on his face had been partially dug out by himself, as if it was because of too much force, resulting in the phalanx bones of the index finger and middle finger of his two hands had been completely amputated.
Just by looking at him, you can see that he suffered terribly before he died.
"This benefactor should be a member of the Taiyi Sect, the abbot had some connections with the head of the Taiyi Sect when he was young, and Chi Lan should have been entrusted by the abbot to visit the Taiyi Sect this time."
The monk known as Cheng Qing looked to be older than Cheng Kong, and his beard was gray, "I just didn't expect the two of them to suffer this misfortune on the way." β
"I wonder what Senior Brother thinks?"
"This corpse poison is done by ghosts, and those who can kill Chi Lan and Taiyi at the same time are definitely not lonely ghosts, and this matter is probably related to the seal of the Demon Suppression Tower."
"Alas, it's not just the heroes of the world who go up the mountain this time."
β¦β¦
"Who is the Taiyi family?"
Gu Yun, who was hiding behind the stone and eavesdropping, asked in a low voice.
According to the guidance of the monks patrolling the mountain, they came all the way to the "crime scene", only to see the two monks Chengkong and Chengche with solemn faces, and it was not easy for them to go up directly to talk.
"I don't know."
Wang Lu shook his head, there is no network in this barren mountain and wilderness, not even Baidu.
So the eyes of the two of them invariably focused on Chang Hu.
"You don't think I know, do you? You are professionals, I am a halfway monk, and I definitely don't know as much as you. β
In fact, the main business of the reef is the business of dealing with people such as assassination and security, and events such as ghosts and ghosts have always been contracted by the Foundation.
He was a boxer before joining Reef, and he had little to do with these demons and monsters.
"The Taiyi people are a branch of the Taoists."
Qin Mu's voice came from the branch above the three people's heads, she didn't want to deal with the three people behind the stone, but when she saw the three of them looking at each other, she couldn't help but answer.
"They mainly practice the art of repelling ghosts, and they usually accept the commission of exorcism and spirits, these two people have been poisoned by corpses, which means that they have encountered powerful ghosts before, if they are attacked during the day, then they should encounter daytime ghosts."
"I've heard of dayghosts."
Wang Lu said suddenly, "Generally speaking, ghosts like to haunt when yin is at their peak, and daytime is the time of the day when the sun is at its peak, and those who can hurt people at this time are called daytime ghosts - daytime ghosts are not a specific species, but are used to describe those who are particularly powerful and are not affected by yin and yang. β
"Oh? I didn't think you knew that. β
Gu Yun praised Wang Lu.
The entry for the daytime ghost is not recorded in the "Supernatural Encyclopedia", in fact, the study of evil spirits in that book is very extensive, and many ghosts are collectively referred to as evil spirits.
"Is that not it?"
Wang Lu was very proud, "If you want to do a good job in this business, the first step is to figure out which demons and monsters you encounter, and you should run away immediately." β
There is no doubt that if you encounter a ghost during the day, you must run as fast as you can.
"But if it's a dayghost......"
Chang Hu had to interrupt Wang Lu, "Doesn't that mean it's likely to be in this forest now?" β
