ββ¦β¦ It's really not normal blood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
There is no such thing as human blood, and this "blood" is at best a liquid similar in color and form to blood.
"This ...... What's going on here? Zhang Daoyuan was dumbfounded.
Su Musha shook his head, "I don't know, maybe, maybe the real Li Zhen has been hidden, and the lying here is just a fake." β
Zhang Daoyuan tried hard to recall the scene of that day - when the second miss of the Li family fell on the road, she was indeed possessed by a ghost, and she was obviously alone at that time, so she would never be mistaken. But then I went to have a meal with the village chief, and before the meal was finished, I heard that Li Zhen's illness had recurred, and then the old Taoist priest helped Li Zhen summon his soul, and he was also caught...... Looking back now, in fact, he didn't see Li Zhen wake up until the end. Could it be that during the meal, the gang had replaced Li Zhen's people with the "I don't know what it was" thing on the bed?
After figuring out what happened before and after, Zhang Daoyuan turned his head to look at Su Musha, "Xiao Su, I seem to have been framed and wronged." β
Su Musha touched his dog's head, "It's possible." β
Zhang Daoyuan was elated, "This shows that I was not wrong at the time, the second miss of the Li family was indeed possessed by a ghost!" I don't have to be laughed at by the animals at home! β
Su Musha: Where is your focus on the second goods of the ............? !
Zhang Daoyuan didn't know his friend's speechless mood and wanted to complain, he frowned and said, "But why do they have to arrest me and kill me?" I'm just a little Taoist! β
Su Musha asked him, "Do you remember the appearance of the ghost attached to Li Zhen that day?" β
Zhang Daoyuan shook his head, "The appearance of that ghost is very vague, but it should be a woman." β
Su Musha fell into deep thought at his words. The various anomalies encountered when entering the Li family seem to be related to each other - the girl possessed by the ghost, Li Rongye's desire to cover up, the female ghost that Xiaoyun dreamed of, the strange formation on the top of the mountain and the strangely colored Pisces jade pendant buried under the array, as well as the backwardness and isolation of Huangshi Village, and the villagers' obedience to Li Rongye............
Something is about to come out, but it's still a short time coming. Su Musha shook his head, there was still something missing......
However, the ghost attached to Li Zhen's body and the female ghost that Xiaoyun dreamed of may be the same one.
After investigating the situation, Su Musha was ready to leave with Zhang Daoyuan, calculating the time, Li Rongye should be about to come over to "feed medicine" to his little daughter. He hasn't torn his face with Li Rongye yet, so naturally he can't be caught red-handed.
"You wait." Zhang Daoyuan grabbed his arm, "Do you know what this thing is lying on the bed?" β
For what he doesn't know but others know, Zhang Daoyuan has always wanted to figure it out.
Su Musha said: "I can't say what it is, but it's similar to the principle of paper people." It's just that the level of this 'paper man' is relatively high, it has breathing, heartbeat and even blood, but the breath of life can't be imitated no matter what. That's why he saw through it at a glance.
"If it weren't for the wrong timing, I'd really like to take this thing home and study it." Zhang Daoyuan sighed with pity in his eyes.
Su Musha burst into a kind smile, "Actually, you can try, your master loves you so much, he will definitely not kill you, at most break your legs, three." β
Zhang Daoyuan: "............" is that my friends will open the yellow/cavity, am I dreaming?!
Su Mu rolled his eyes in his heart, the thing on the bed was not a good thing, it was full of evil atmosphere. If he is really taken back by Zhang Daoyuan, his master may be angry to death.
He stretched out two fingers to wipe Li Zhen's wound, and the wound disappeared in an instant, and the two erased the traces in the room, and then quietly slipped out, and finally did not forget to let the rune paper villain reinsert the latch.
Before leaving, Su Musha told Zhang Daoyuan: "I also have a hunch that tonight, Li Rongye is very likely to attack me and my little apprentice." If I don't have a room before 12 o'clock, you don't have to worry, I'm prepared. β
Although Zhang Daoyuan is two, he is not stupid, knowing that if he rashly goes out to save people, he may become a burden and harm Su Musha. It's better to stay in the room honestly, and then invite your own master to help when the time comes.
"Where are we going now?" Zhang Daoyuan sat on the back of the Tiger God and found that the path it took was not the route back.
Su Musha looked ahead, "Go to a garden." β
**********
Su Musha is naturally going to the Li family's abandoned shadow garden, which Lu Yun dreamed of in his dreams.
The Shadow Garden was not far from Li Zhen's room, so the Tiger God soon came to the garden.
The top of the garden was already covered with turquoise vines. Su Musha let the tiger-like god fly high, and used the fanged sword to cut off the vine in the center, revealing the word "Shadow Garden".
It seems that the dream of his little apprentice is really not for no reason.
"Let's go inside." Su Musha asked the Tiger God to fly them in, and he wanted to find the ancient well in Lu Yun's dream, where a female ghost crawled out.
But when he got to the garden, he frownedβit was indeed overgrown with weeds, but there was not half an ancient well!
Although the area of the shadow garden is large, the terrain is flat, and there are no winding corridors, so you can see the edge at a glance. Su Musha can be sure that there is really no ancient well in this.
How to explain Xiaoyun's dream?
Su Musha didn't believe in evil, jumped off the back of the tiger god, and walked around the garden for a long time, but he didn't find any traces of the newly turned soil, and there was no hidden formation, the ancient well in Lu Yun's dream really didn't exist here.
"Who? Who's over there?! A man's angry shout came from afar. Tightly, dense footsteps sounded, and the direction was towards the Shadow Garden.
"Discovered!" Zhang Daoyuan was in a hurry, and stretched out his hand to Su Musha, "Xiao Su, let's go back first, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time!" β
Although Su Musha had the intention to continue to investigate here, the situation was really urgent. He could only hold Zhang Daoyuan's hand and jump onto the back of the Tiger God with his strength. The two quickly flew away from the place before anyone could catch up. ************************************
The day was spent with nothing to do, and soon it was evening.
Su Mu was hidden in the room, holding the pen and paper he borrowed from Li Cheng, combing through the thoughts he had gained in the past two days.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang's mother knocked on the door and said that Su Musha was invited to go to the dining room to finish eating. Su Musha had no choice but to put down the pen and paper, walked out of the room, and met Lu Yun and Zhang Daoyuan, who were also going to eat, and Zhang's mother, who was smiling.
While the other two were not paying attention, Su Musha came to Lu Yun's side and whispered to her, "Be careful tonight." β
Lu Yun understood what his master meant, and quietly pinched the short dagger hidden in his sleeve. If the group of people at night really dared to do something to them, she would definitely not be relentless.
The group went downstairs and into the dining room. Li Rongye was already sitting at the dinner table, with an unconcealable smile on his face, indicating that he was in a very good mood, and sitting in the lower position on both sides of him were the Zodiac priest and Li Rongye's nephew whom Su Musha and his apprentices had seen in the morning. The two of them sat upright, showing great respect to Li Rongye. However, when Su Musha and Lu Yun came in, the two of them glanced back at them at the same time, and a trace of greed flashed in their eyes. And Su Musha did not miss this trace of greed.
There are more than 20 dishes on the huge dining table, including meat, vegetarian dishes, and desserts, all of which are full of color, flavor, and taste, and look extremely attractive.
"Come on, come on, come and sit." Li Rongye got up and beckoned the three juniors to sit down.
Li Cheng knew Huang Daoshi and his father's nephew, and greeted the two, "Hello Huang Daoshi, good cousin." His attitude was very cold, and he sat down in his seat after greeting, obviously displeased with the two men.
Su Musha looked at Li Rongye and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, I heard that Ling Yuan is sick, isn't she well yet?" I didn't see her out to eat. β
Li Rongye's expression remained unchanged, "Zhenzhen is weak, her illness has not healed, and she can't go out yet." Naturally, Zhang's mother will take care of her for a while. β
Su Musha let out an "oh" and stopped asking,
Unlike the previous meals, there was an extra pot of wine on the table this time.
Zhang's mother waited on the side and poured a glass of wine for everyone. Li Rongye smiled and said to Su Musha: "Xiao Su, this wine is brewed by my uncle himself, you all come to taste it and see how my winemaking skills are." β
Huang Daoshi and Li Cheng's cousin took the wine glass and drank it all, and praised it in unison: "Good wine! β
Su Musha held the wine glass, his eyes swept over the faces of Li Rongye and the others, observing their reactions. He smiled and said, "Since it was brewed by Uncle Li himself, I naturally want to taste it." I didn't expect to be able to drink such precious sake not long after I came here, and I was so lucky. β
With that, he took a glass of wine and drank it all.
Li Rongye stroked his palms and laughed, "Good amount of wine!" β
Lu Yun looked at the master's appearance and also wanted to drink some of the wine in the cup. Su Musha stretched out his hand in time to block her wine glass, he looked straight at Li Rongye and smiled humbly, "Uncle Li, drinking hurts your body, besides, my sister is still young, and her parents never allow her to drink at home." So I'll help her drink this wine, and please don't mind Uncle Li. β
Li Rongye looked at him with a deep gaze, "This wine is not intoxicating, it doesn't matter if you drink less." β
