Volume 1: Fighting Onmyoji Chapter 4: Strange Music

Life in the countryside has always been simple and simple, and as soon as the sun sets, the villagers who are farming in the fields return home with a tired and fulfilled mood after a busy day. Cooking and cooking, eating a full meal, and drinking a few glasses of wine are the happiest things of the day.

After dinner, if there is nothing going on in the village, there is basically no after-dinner entertainment, so many families close their doors after dinner, tidy up their housework, and are ready to go to sleep.

The Li family is no exception.

At this moment, they had just finished dinner, and Li Yan ran to close the door. Xiao Yue discussed a few words with the village chief about the strange things that often happened in the village, and then went back to their rooms.

He didn't go straight to sleep when he got back to his room. Now he promised the villagers of the seven villages that he would do everything he could to eliminate the evil, and this was not a matter that could be solved casually, so the burden on his shoulders now did not allow him to be lazy in the slightest. Even if he wanted to sleep now, he couldn't sleep.

Judging from the current situation, he didn't know how to start investigating this matter.

First of all, the enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light; secondly, there were very few clues in his hands, and although he had probably guessed the purpose of the wicked man, it was not of much help in the investigation of these matters; Then he had only been here for a day, and he didn't know enough about a lot of things. Although those people told him in detail about the big things during the meeting, they couldn't say anything to the point, and even if they said many trivial things, it was useless.

Thinking of this, he had a little headache, thinking about the righteous and awe-inspiring words he said to the villagers during the day, he felt a little rash at the moment. If he can't find a clue for several days, it is estimated that there will be doubts from the villagers.

Before she knew it, it was late at night, and Xiao Yue never felt sleepy. He had never had insomnia, and he didn't expect to be so worried that he couldn't sleep tonight.

He simply sat up and meditated, cross-legged and closed his eyes, trying to dispel the distractions in his heart and calm his mind. At this moment, I suddenly heard an ugly and strange and terrifying sound in the distance, not so much a sound as a music. The sound of the music came to his ears through the crack in the window, and it was thin but harsh, and it was evident that the source of the music was far away from him, so that he could not hear it clearly, but it was very rhythmic. The rhythm of this music is very different from that of classical Chinese music. Most of Chinese classical music is mainly "sad", but there is a mood of "sadness" in this music.

Xiao Yue jumped off the bed suddenly, looking surprised. It was only because he suddenly remembered that the villagers had told him during the day that they had heard in the middle of the night "extremely ugly and strange and terrifying sounds", and if he was not mistaken, he must have been referring to this music.

He listened attentively to the "sorrow" conveyed in this music, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and there was a kind of vicious evil art hidden in this music, a kind of evil art that ordinary people would not be able to hold their minds and lose themselves when they heard it. He finally knew how those girls were taken, because he suddenly heard this music in the middle of the night, his mind was confused, and he involuntarily got out of bed and opened the door, and walked out in search of this music.

"What a clever means." Xiao Yue couldn't help but praise.

Without the slightest hesitation, he opened the door gently, came to the patio, jumped on the ridge of the roof, and in a flash of his life, he went out of the village chief's house and onto the avenue of the village.

He searched for the direction from which the music came and moved forward without hurrying.

The summer night is clear, starless and moonless, but not too dark to see the road beneath your feet.

Before he could reach the entrance of the village, a figure suddenly appeared in a narrow alley ten meters away from him.

Xiao Yue couldn't help but be frightened, even though she was used to walking at night and had seen a lot of lonely ghosts, she was also startled by the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her.

I saw this figure with his back to him, with long hair hanging down, wearing thin pajamas, barefoot, step by step, slowly walking forward.

Xiao Yue quickly stepped forward to follow, and only then did she see that it was the daughter of a certain family in the village.

Seeing her eyes glazed, her expression was confused, her upper body was stiff, and she didn't feel pain when she stepped on the stones with her bare feet.

Apparently, she must have been so distracted by the sound of music from afar that she had no idea where she was or what she was doing.

This music is very clear to hear at the moment, but it feels dry and dull, and the emotions conveyed are very complex. Sometimes it feels like crying; Sometimes it feels like the laughter of many people; Sometimes it's like a child's cry; Sometimes it's like the cough of an elderly person.

Xiao Yue wanted to see who was playing tricks, so she let the girl move forward with the music, and he followed far behind.

When she reached the entrance of the village, the girl turned to a path and walked. This is the path into the mountain, and the music comes from the forest at the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Yue knew that she would soon be able to meet this ghost trickster, this person must be the real murderer of many girls, if she saw him, she must not let him escape.

He knew that the other party's strength must not be weak, so he was very vigilant, fixed his mind, and was ready to take out the talisman in the cloth bag at any time. As soon as the situation is wrong, immediately sacrifice the talisman to protect yourself and seal the enemy's retreat.

This forest at the foot of the mountain can be said to be a cemetery dedicated to burying the dead in Xiahe Village, where a strong evil aura is condensed. There was only one path to walk into, and on both sides of this path, there were graves. There are new and old, some with grass on top and some bare.

The originally clear summer night, as soon as you walk in here, it becomes a black miasma, cold, and a yin qi follows you like an invisible ghost hand, which makes people can't help but feel hairy.

The music was in the depths of the forest, Xiao Yue followed the girl for about fifty meters, the music suddenly stopped, and the girl also stopped.

The light in the forest is dim, it is not easy to see clearly at night, and the fog is thick, it is even more difficult to distinguish things, although Xiao Yue is not far behind the girl, but only a trace of shadow can be seen.

Just as he couldn't figure out why the music had stopped, another vague figure appeared in front of the girl.

Xiao Yue believed that this person was the one who made the music, but the fog was too heavy and the distance was so far away that she couldn't see his face clearly.

I saw the figure turn in front of the girl's body, and then took out a leaf, put it on her lips and blew it, and the ugly and strange music sounded again in this miserable summer night.

Then the figure turned and walked deeper into the woods, and the maiden followed him, and soon their figures disappeared into the fog.

Xiao Yue didn't have time to think about it, she directly caught up, and in a flash, she blocked the way of the figure, and said, "Donor stay." ”

The figure seemed to be startled by Xiao Yue's sudden appearance, and its body trembled.

At this time, Xiao Yue saw that this person was wearing a special cyan clothing, with white socks on his feet and wooden shoes. His face was covered with a black cloth, his head was tied in a bun, and his bright eyes flashed with a cold and ruthless expression.

The man in Tsing Yi was only stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, his body flashed, and he was about to escape. Xiao Yue didn't expect this person's body to be so agile, but fortunately, he had already been prepared, and when he flashed in front of the man in Tsing Yi, his right hand was always placed in the cloth bag, and he could sacrifice the talisman at any time.

I only heard him shout: "Duh." The four talismans carried a dazzling golden light, and a wall was arranged on the ground by brushing and brushing, blocking the way of the people in Tsing Yi.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't even look back, his right hand was raised, and something flew out, Xiao Yue didn't see what it was, and the thing burst out of a fire with a "whew", and a monster burst out of the firelight.

He is hideous-looking, as tall as a person, and holds in his hand a weapon that does not look like an axe and a hammer that does not resemble a hammer. Xiao Yue had seen many monsters and monsters, but he had never seen such a monster, and he couldn't find a basis for this monster from where it came from, which surprised him a lot.

The monster didn't give Xiao Yue a chance to react, so he screamed strangely, raised the weapon in his hand and smashed it on his head. Xiao Yue had no choice but to dodge. The weapon struck a large rock beside the road, and the stone shattered like powder.

When Xiao Yue dodged, he had already taken out a talisman from the cloth bag, chanted a spell in his mouth, and said "sacrifice", the talisman was lightning against the monster's forehead, and with a "snort", the monster disappeared suddenly, and a paper figure fell at his feet. Only then did Xiao Yue know that this monster was a trick conjured up by the people in Tsing Yi with evil magic.
