Chapter 274: The Soul Returns

Xie Sifei said that he really inquired.

It turned out that it rained last night in the second half of the night, and before the rain fell, it was extremely hot, and many people pushed the windows to enjoy the coolness, and heard a child shouting and screaming, saying that there was something walking on the street.

Residents on both sides of the street looked and saw dim lights shining on the ground, and the street was empty of something.

But the child doesn't give up, to be honest, there are people, there is a very scary person walking on the street.

At the same time, the dogs in the eight villages all barked in unison.

That formation is like the footsteps of the countryside in the past.

Folklore has it that a person's soul is out of the body a few days before death, and what is alive is only a shell. This living soul will travel around the world before the physical yang life is completely exhausted, and go to all the places that it has been in life to walk again, which is called closing the footsteps.

As soon as the footsteps are finished, the person will die immediately.

In the past, when dogs in the village barked all night, the old people would say that someone was collecting their footsteps and was going to die.

Sure enough, in two or three days, I would hear that everyone in the nearby village was dead.

When the people on the street heard the dog barking last night, they thought that someone was going to die, and someone was collecting their footsteps?

Because the soul of the footsteps can only be seen by dogs and people with yin and yang eyes, and some of the residents say that the child can see it, it must be because he is not under ten years old and his eyes have not yet been closed.

Just ask the people walking in the street what they look like.

The child was said to be a large crowd, but among them was the woman in the red robe, who walked in the front, the robe was tattered and only dragged down to the calf and ankle.

Barefoot, with every step she took, countless blood dripped down her robe and down her legs, leaving a line of bloody footprints on the ground.

In the middle of the night, the dog barked violently.

When the residents heard this, they shivered, and they all said that children would be scary, and they all went back to sleep.

After that it rained.

I also know the rest of the story.

In the morning, everyone woke up and found that the street was full of beans, or strange and eye-catching human face beans, and everyone ate these beans and got the plague.

I thought that the plague might be inseparable from that woman, that she might be a plague ghost or something.

asked Xie Sifei to find the child.

After a while, the big bald head came back with a doll: "Senior brother is here!" ”

I looked at the little baby, and ho!

Why is it so familiar?

Isn't this the child who bowed three mouths and nine bows at Shenlong Bridge that day, tied red satin to the bridge, and recognized the bridge as a father?

I heard that his whole family was killed by evil things, but fortunately, he recognized a few dragons crossing the river on the Shenlong Bridge as godfathers to save his life, and now he lives with the temple in the back street.

Miaozhu gave it a name called Little Scale.

Perhaps because of his unfortunate background, this child's personality is also calmer than that of other peers.

As soon as I asked what was going on, he told the scene he saw that night, which was really similar to what Xie Sifei said, and the woman in the red robe sounded like a leader.

I thought she might be a plague ghost king or something, so I asked the child, "You said that the red-robed woman was followed by a group of people, who are they?" ”

Xiao Yan glanced around, and then lowered his voice: "I'm just telling you, you must not tell others." ”

"Behind the woman in the red robe are the residents of our town. There are Boss Huang in the department store, Boss Li in the supermarket, Shopkeeper Wu in the roast duck shop, Boss Liu next door to you, Huzi and his sister, who are usually bullied, and many people. As long as it's in our town, it's all there. ”

When I heard this, goosebumps immediately formed in my back.

This.. Is this the soul closing in footsteps?

If the woman in the red robe is a plague ghost, doesn't it mean that those who are following her are people who are about to die of the plague? If everyone in a town is there, isn't it that everyone in a town will die?

I asked Scales, "Did you see me?" ”

Xiao Liang shook his head: "You... You're not here, you're not like them. And these guys in your shop, I didn't even see them, you are different from the people in the town. ”

When I heard this, I was not in the ranks of mortality.

Doesn't that mean I can save them?

Hua Butterfly heard what I said with Xiao Yan on the phone, and also thought of a way: "Brother Shouyi, there is a way, you don't have to go to Fengchi Heavenly Master's Mansion to find dragon brain to save them." ”

I was busy asking something.

She said, "There must be an antidote within three steps of a poisonous snake, and the same is true of the plague." If that woman is a plague ghost, all you have to do is catch her, pluck her head out and burn her to ashes, and smoke the ashes and the medicine I will send you tomorrow to the townspeople, and the plague will be in no time. ”

"Really?"

I was overjoyed when I heard this: "This is a good solution, it can destroy the plague ghosts, and there is no need for the townspeople to take medicine." Save others from believing and save a lot of trouble. ”

"Still,"

I immediately remembered the question, "Where can I find the plague ghost?" ”

Little Scale pulled me, "I know." ”

"Now a lot of people in the town are sick with the plague and want to go out, and the doctor says they can only live by days. In fact, some of them were almost at the end of their lives, and I saw the woman in the red robe dangling in front of the door of those people's houses. ”

I hurriedly asked Little Scale to take me there.

It was also dark at this time, and the atmosphere of death was enveloped, and the streets were eerie.

Xiao Liang pulled me to the edge of the grain station and pointed to the green sign: "In the afternoon, I saw a woman in a red robe standing at the door of this house, and her condition was serious when she followed them. Look at the life lamp, they shouldn't survive tonight. ”

I was taken aback: "Can you see how long a person lives?" ”

Scales nodded.

I was amazed: this kid is not simple.

But this is not the time to marvel, and when I looked at the green sign with the words Changye Pharmacy written on it, I thought to myself that this plague ghost is really not stupid, and he will kill the doctor in the town first.

Isn't there no one to use medicine when the doctor dies?

"That's coming!"

As I was thinking this, the scales exclaimed in surprise and pulled me behind the flower stand.

This flower stand is very large and luxuriant, so it's no problem to cover the two of me.

Through the gap between the flowers and trees, I looked towards the door of Changye Pharmacy, but I saw that the front of the pharmacy was empty, where was the red-robed woman?

So he asked Xiao Scale, "Where is the thing?" ”

Xiao Liang had an expression on his face: "Just under the cement telephone pole at the door, she is looking upstairs with her head up and mouth open, orange light sprinkled on her face, she has no facial features, and there are four holes in her face." ”

it!

Are you sure?

I'll take a look at it again.

As soon as I heard Xiao Liang say this, I looked at the telephone pole again, but I still didn't see anything.

If it weren't for the hint of red gas near the telephone pole, I would have wondered if this kid was fooling me.

At the same time, my heart was cold.

What is this red-robed woman, I can't even see it with the method of looking at qi, or is it that I don't cultivate enough to reach the level where I can see her?

But I don't think much of it at this time.

The little scales between the electric stones and fires had already pulled me: "Oops! The owner of Changye Pharmacy and his wife are out! ”

I saw that it was really out.

It's just that it comes out directly from behind the tight iron roller shutter door, and when it comes out, it is still on tiptoe, exactly like the dead people walking in classic Hong Kong ghost movies.

Following them was like being called, one after the other, and they walked towards the entrance of the town.

"Big brother!"

Xiao Liang was very anxious when he saw it, and pushed me: "You chase after me!" The woman took the two of them away! ”

I pulled out the Heavenly Heart and slashed the dragon and chased after it.

Xiao Liang followed behind me: "Big brother, she's behind you!! ”

I swept it over with my backhand without mercy, and at the same time I heard the scales shouting, "Be careful! It's ahead of you again! ”

A powerful evil aura rushed to my face, and it hurt my face.

I didn't swing my sword as neatly as the sword immortal, and I hurriedly took out the astronomical scroll in my arms and blocked it, only to hear a miserable scream of "Ao Howl", and the yellow light at the bottom of the astronomical scroll shot out like a sharp sword, exploding in the air not far in front of me.

Then I saw a red coat flash at the bottom of the plate.

There is nothing left to take another photo.

I can't help but feel a chill in my heart, this astrolabe is according to the devil, even the demon of the white volcano has nothing to hide in front of it, what is this red-robed woman, even more powerful than the devil?

"Oops! Big brother! ”

Xiao Liang had already jumped and chased after him: "That woman ran away!" I also brought the pharmacy owner and his family with me! ”

I hurriedly followed, but saw Xiao Liang pass through the archway out of the town, straight to the Shenlong River, and was standing on the bridge in a daze at the rolling east water.

When she saw me coming, she pointed to the river and said, "Big brother, she jumped down." ”

"Isn't that right?"

I thought that this Shenlong River was the territory of six dragons crossing the river, how arrogant they were when they first met Qingqiu, and they couldn't subdue a plague ghost, so I called Xiao Scale: "Aren't your godfathers in the river?" Tell them to help? ”

"They..."

Little Scale stammered and muttered for a long time before saying, "They can't beat that woman, and besides, they don't dare stop her." ”

Me: "....."

Guo Jianglong, who didn't even face Qingqiu, didn't stop a little plague ghost?

Could it be that I misjudged that she wasn't a plague ghost?

So what the hell is she, who can spread the plague and make the six dragons who cross the river dare not stop her?
