Chapter Ninety-Two: Strange Footprints
This incident was more than half a year ago in the middle of the night, when the ninth master and I went to the cemetery to check the situation in the grave of Li Cripple, and when I went home, I faintly felt that something in the woods was staring at me.
When I got home that night, I asked Jiu Ye what was inside the forest, and although I couldn't see any trace of them in the night, I obviously felt something strange in the dark.
The Ninth Master said angrily at that time, that is, some mountain and wild animals.
And Liu Ruoxue pointed out to the ninth master, saying that if there was no help from those animals back then, maybe my master and the ninth master would not be able to help the three old men of Baofeng Temple and live in our village.
I can't help but wonder if there is a direct connection between what Liu Ruoxue said about that year and what Li Kebin said about 60 years ago, when the mountain and wild animals in this area of Baofeng Temple Village collectively disappeared.
Li Kebin heard me say that the incident was just a legend, and his expression couldn't help but become very serious.
He said word for word: "Sometimes, legends are not groundless, it is likely that at first some people just used stories to cover up some truths, and then through folk circulation, word of mouth evolved into a kind of legend." ”
I nodded to myself, agreeing with what Li Kebin said. The so-called folklore, although it may sound outrageous at times, is indeed likely to be a real event.
Especially after I have experienced so many things that have subverted my cognition with Jiu Ye, I have a new perspective on many legendary things in my heart.
It's just that now in front of Li Kebin and them, I can't act as if nothing happened.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Then how are you going to investigate this matter now, sixty years ago, many people have passed away!" ”
Ma Xiaoting said: "The people of the year may not all be dead, of course, even if we can't find a breakthrough from people, we can still find clues from monsters." ”
Ma Xiaoting said this, which made my heart chuckle secretly, but she woke me up.
They are now at the bottom of the well in Baofeng Temple Village, and they have found the fox demon escaping, which can be regarded as one more key piece of information.
And right now, there is dragon energy in my body, and they will obviously start investigating from me.
After all, the two dragons recorded in the dossier fell into Baofengsi Village before the mountain animals disappeared, and they were able to hide for more than sixty years before they appeared, so it is very likely that they directly experienced that event.
Thinking of this, I asked Ma Xiaoting what monsters they planned to start with to investigate.
Ma Xiaoting didn't think about it, and said directly: "That fox demon under the dry well of Baofeng Temple!" Of course, if you're willing to continue to help us, that's one more clue. If you don't want to get involved in it, then you can just stop it. However, as I said earlier, we are not the only people who are concerned about the Wujiang Dragon Corpse incident, and you had better watch out for strangers who approach you. ”
As I expected, Ma Xiaoting and Li Kebin eventually hoped that I could do things with them.
Actually, the two of them didn't leave me out and were willing to continue to involve me, and I was very happy in my heart, because then I could always know that they found something.
If they really find out about something related to Liu Ruoxue and Jiu Ye, then if I am also involved, I can mediate.
I asked Ma Xiaoting curiously: "That fox demon has already escaped, where are you going to find it?" ”
Ma Xiaoting scooped up a small spoonful of coffee and drank it, and said with a calm expression: "Our Ma family has been subduing demons and eliminating demons for generations, so naturally there is a way to find demons." ”
Li Kebin said: "Third brother, Ma Xiaoting is indeed an expert in demon hunting, and the reason why the organization sent her and me to investigate the incident sixty years ago this time is because of her good strength. ”
Ma Xiaoting has always been very confident in speaking, but when she heard Li Kebin say this, her expression darkened.
She sighed and said, "Hey, but this time, I'm not really sure!" Do your best! ”
I looked at them and wondered how they were organized.
One is a descendant of a family that subdues demons and destroys demons, and the other is a third-class life master, but he was sent to deal with this kind of thing.
Moreover, I think their organization is a little too broad, why should we take care of the legend of Baofeng Temple Village. Could it be that they are an official organization?
"We will stay in the village for a while, and Ma Xiaoting will use my girlfriend's identity as a cover in order to launch a secret investigation," Li said. Third brother, you can do whatever you need to do as usual, and we will not affect your normal life. ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be in the store in town, and you can always come to me if you need help." ”
Ma Xiaoting interjected on the side: "Li Kebin, but okay, I'm just pretending to be your girlfriend, don't take it seriously!" ”
Li Kebin sneered: "Pretending to be a girlfriend is also a girlfriend!" ”
"You're thinking about it!"
To be honest, they often work together as partners, and after a long time, they may be able to spark love.
Li Kebin put away his smile and said to me with a serious face: "Third brother, your senior brother, with my current level of appearance, I really can't see his face clearly. I think he's really not simple, you have to pay more attention to yourself. ”
He always felt that there was something wrong with Jiu Ye, but his ultimate goal was to hope that I could get well, so I couldn't say anything to excuse Jiu Ye, after all, his ability was indeed not simple, and even I couldn't understand him at all after I had been with him for so long.
I smiled and said, "Hmm! I'll take notice. ”
After we chatted at the café for a few hours, Li Kebin went to the supermarket to buy a lot of gifts, and when he went back a few days ago, he stayed at his own house and did not go to his relatives' houses.
He hadn't been back to the village for a few years, and since he had to stay longer this time, he really had to go to his relatives or something.
Looking at him and Ma Xiaoting shopping together, I had mixed feelings in my heart, when will I have the opportunity to go shopping with Liu Ruoxue.
After the two of them had bought their things, they drove me out of the county seat and back to our town.
Li Kebin drove me directly to the door of Jiuye's store.
At this moment, it was more than seven o'clock in the afternoon, and the distance from the town to our village was very close, at most ten minutes.
I asked Li Kebin and Ma Xiaoting to sit down in the first house, and then go back to the village after dinner.
After Ma Xiaoting got out of the car, as soon as she walked to the door of the store, she suddenly stopped, and her face became a little ugly.
Seeing this, I asked suspiciously, "Ma Xiaoting, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ma Xiaoting stretched out her hand to stop me and Li Kebin, let's not move forward yet.
Li Kebin was also confused by Ma Xiaoting's move.
Seeing Ma Xiaoting's stern face, Li Kebin and I had to stand in place to see what she was going to do.
Ma Xiaoting's eyes showed a fierce light, glanced at me, and said in a cold voice: "Thirteen, the dragon qi with the same breath as you actually appeared here. ”
