Chapter 111: Why
But when I got to the cell, it was different, because there was a man sitting upright in the cell.
At first, Uncle Xu and I didn't care, thinking that there was a new cellmate in the cell, but now that we have been sentenced to death, and Uncle Xu's mana has not recovered, I am afraid that we can only obediently let others slaughter, where is the mood to greet him.
But before we could speak, the man spoke, and he said with a smile: "The life of the two of you here is quite good, there is no shortage of food and clothing, like a home." ”
This was clearly like a mockery, and I replied angrily: "If you make this place your home, then you will always stay." ”
"You're still mad at me?" The man got up and walked up to me and Uncle Xu, and I realized that he must be the official just now.
The difference is that at this time, he did not wear an official mansion but just ordinary clothes, dressed as a son-in-law.
Seeing that he arched his hand to us, he said, "You two are really sorry, but it was just a delaying tactic. ”
Hearing him say this, can we not have to die? Just ask him what he is doing here?
This official told us what happened, just in the hall he wanted to ask us a question or two, because he also felt strange about this matter, he went to the scene of the crime to see, the backyard of the Piaoxiang Courtyard, there are countless corpses, some of the corpses have exposed white bones, it seems that they are not just dead, and through the investigation, we were locked up in the general's mansion at that time, and we are simply lacking in skills.
And how did this official find out that we were in the General's Palace? Naturally, it was Xiaoshan Ginseng Jing who helped, he found the general, and begged him to help investigate the case, otherwise who could be so dedicated and could find out the whole story of this matter.
So we are not murderers.
I saw that this official, from this sleeve, took out the small mountain essence, at this time he had recovered his original state, jumped off the official's hand, climbed my leg to my hand, and said with a smile: "How about I'm still reliable, right?" ”
I grabbed his comb and pulled it to the sky, which made it more convenient to pull his hair, but it made Xiao Shan Ginseng angry, crying and shouting: "Sister Qiu'er! You are too much, but my godmother gave me a newly combed braid, you dare to pull me, be careful that I let you be in prison for the rest of your life. ”
Seeing him crying and making trouble, I was afraid that it would be endless again, so I hurriedly put him down.
If I want to talk about this, thanks to Xiaoshan Ginsengjing, if he hadn't looked for the general, I'm afraid that Uncle Xu and I would have already died in vain like that person named Mu Da.
Now that the matter has been clarified, I asked the official, "Then why don't you let us go, but announce that I and Uncle Xu Lingchi will be executed?" ”
The official shook his head and said, "Just now I invited the two of you to sit down, and I was about to release them on the spot, but I suddenly found that there were some unusual people among the onlookers. ”
As he spoke, he denied his words again.
"No, maybe not people."
As soon as he said this, I became even more curious, and the official told us about the scene just now.
No wonder the contrast between him and the front and back is so huge, it turned out that he was in this court at that time, and he suddenly found that there were several women behind us, who were extremely delicate and charming, and her sister's body was constantly dangling, which attracted the attention of this official at that time.
I took the opportunity to try the case with us and squinted my eyes, and found that they were indeed different from others, which girl could look lively, the lower body was constantly twisting, and the skirt under the body directly covered the feet, which was extremely inconvenient to walk, although the girl's jade feet were not seen with others, but the skirt was so low, directly covered the ground, it was unusual, and this walk was not afraid of tripping.
The officer looked at it quietly, and found that from the beginning the girls had been shaking their lower bodies, until later, when he suddenly saw a tail sticking out, and the tail was long and thin, and at first glance it was the tail of a snake.
At this time, the case was being tried, and it was said that it was a python spirit, and the officials couldn't help but be suspicious, so they accompanied them to play this scene.
Afterwards he had the jailer take us back to his cell and sent a team of men to follow the girls.
Speaking of this, he stopped talking, and I asked a little eagerly: "Maybe these girls are the disciples and grandchildren of the snake spirit, after all, you have also seen that in this Piaoxiang Courtyard, there are not only people's corpses, but also countless small snakes' corpses have been cut in two. ”
"I don't know what happened later, it's not that long after the end of the court, they should be following those girls at this time, and there will be results in a few hours."
"Not good!" Uncle Xu, who had not made a sound, suddenly clapped his legs and screamed.
The other hand hurriedly grabbed the county magistrate and said, "If those girls are really snake spirits just now, then they will definitely return to the lair of the python spirit at this time, your subordinates are just some mortal fetuses, how can they fight those python spirits?" Even if you find it, isn't that self-defeating? ”
I became nervous when I heard this, but the official didn't know how powerful this python spirit was, but waved his hand at us, comforted us, and said, "Don't worry, the people I sent are all young people who are strong and smart, and they won't make any mistakes." ”
This official is too optimistic, thinking that the sword spirit in my hand has not completely killed this python essence, and let her run away, it can be seen that this python spirit is a bit of a Taoist, my sword spirit is bloodthirsty, and this python spirit directly eats people's brains, and has lived for thousands of years, it must be difficult to deal with.
At this moment, a person suddenly ran in from outside and shouted, "My lord, something is wrong...... ...... outside"
He looked nervous, and he couldn't breathe when he spoke, and the official hurried out of the cell, and since he also said that we were not guilty, he followed him out, only to find clusters of sparks flashing in the sky, and the official's face was instantly bad: "I was careless!" ”
It seems that the spark in the sky seems to be some kind of code, and I am afraid that the team just now has been completely wiped out.
Looking at the official's face even more ugly, I looked at Uncle Xu beside me, his body and bones have not recovered, I am afraid we can't help this matter, but Uncle Xu said: "This snake python spirit does not come out for a day, my body may not recover, and it will ...... for a long time."
I'm a little puzzled, Uncle Xu's body is a little weak, but what does it have to do with whether or not to kill the python spirit?
Uncle Xu whispered to me: "Only by killing this python essence, he can suck the mana on her body, and when the time comes, he can not only return his mana, but also get more mana, and if he can't get rid of this python essence......"
He didn't say the rest of the words, but I already understood that Uncle Xu was a ghost after all, and now there was only a little bit of mana left in his body, and he could no longer bear the yang energy on people, if he stayed with people for a long time, I was afraid that he would hurt him, and at that time, he might be gone.
If I really can't kill the python spirit, I'm afraid Uncle Xu will also leave my side, it seems that I naturally can't sit idly by and ignore this matter, and I have to gamble.
After the official asked for my sword spirit back, Uncle Xu and I did not go back to the house, but lived in the yamen to discuss with the official how to catch the python spirit, after all, there are many people in the yamen and there are many sources, it is much easier than us to find it at home.
A day later, the young soldiers sent out had been found, but at this time, like the men who died in this incense courtyard, they had all been dissected, and their deaths were extremely tragic, which further confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with us.
Their bodies were buried, and the family members rushed into the yamen, where there were wails and wails, and they knelt on the ground and begged the official to give them justice and bring the murderer to justice.
The corpses of these soldiers were found on the West Mountain, which is the most remote place in the capital, and it is generally rarely visited, and the rocks and weeds on both sides are overgrown, and the trees can shade the sun, which is a desolate place, from which we infer that this python elite lives in this kind of place, and few people go to it, so as not to disturb her practice.
This official named Li Lang, although he does not know martial arts, but still followed us, at first glance is a very responsible official, I am afraid that yesterday's events made him feel guilty, today he has been closely following us, constantly instructing, if there is danger, do not rush forward, never lose your life again.
This western mountain is very big, we searched for a day, and we didn't even see the shadow of a snake spirit, and we didn't dare to go too far from here, and we didn't dare to disperse, so the speed was extremely slow.
Now Uncle Xu's mana is not enough, I can't let him go alone, and I don't feel at ease without these people, although it is hundreds of people, but for the python spirit, it is just a piece of cake, I can only rely on the sword spirit around me to protect everyone.
At the end of the day, we only searched for more than ten miles, not because we were lazy, but because the road here was extremely difficult to walk, from time to time it became half a stone, knocked a foot, and at the end of the day, each of us was more or less hung with color.
Li Lang frowned, looked ahead, the front was endless, if it was at this speed, wouldn't it be necessary to search for a few years, with this kung fu, the python spirit would have run away a long time ago.
I remembered the little ginseng essence hidden in the cuffs, so I pulled him out of the cuffs, at this time he was lying in my cuffs, sleeping comfortably, and was suddenly pulled out by me, and with a little sense of getting up, I talked to him, and he ignored me at all.
He was so angry at any time, I immediately stretched out my killer weapon, grabbed his ear and pulled it out, screaming that it hurt, that is, I immediately woke up, and I told him what happened.
He lazily responded, "Oh! ”
I yelled into his ear: "You turn this mountain upside down for me now, or don't go home for dinner!" ”
