Chapter 268: The Old Man Is Dead
Through my inquiry all morning, I finally figured out the identity of the old bachelor.
This old bachelor has lived from then to now, the centenarian we visited a few days ago. Good guy, no wonder he lived so long, it turned out that he was also beautiful when he was young.
When I went back, the old lady still hadn't come out of the grief of losing her son. But it seemed that it should be able to hold up, so I called Rong Rong out and told her the news.
Rong Rong was also very surprised when she heard this, but his surprise was fleeting.
"It's broken, something is going to happen."
"What's wrong?"
"I used Gu on that old man a few days ago, and I don't know if this old man can survive until now."
The situation was urgent, and we didn't have time to avoid it too much, so we hurried up the hill to the old man's house. We knocked on the door outside and no one answered, so I simply pushed the door open with brute force.
But the moment I opened the gate, I found that the yard was full of devastation, and all the dried grain and peppers in the yard were scattered on the ground.
"How can there be traces of a fight?"
Rong Rong shook her head lightly and said, "It shouldn't be, he's so old, who would embarrass him?" ”
I felt something was wrong in my heart, so I walked towards the main house. But as soon as I reached the door of the main house, a gloomy aura came to my face.
"How so?"
At this time, the door of the main room was closed, but even so, the evil aura was still very strong, and in addition, I felt that the aura fluctuations in this room were also a little abnormal.
"There's something unclean here?"
I didn't speak, silently pouring the power of the shadow into my body, and then pushed the wooden door open with one palm. But the moment the wooden door was pushed open, I saw the old man's whole body hanging from the beams.
At this time, his body had begun to decay, but it was winter after all, so the decay was not serious.
His hands drooped naturally, his head hung low, and there was clearly bleeding from a wound on his head. By this time, however, the bleeding wound had scabbed, and the bloody scab had stained half of his face.
"Your Gu worm still has this effect?"
Rong Rong shook her head and said, "No, he will get typhoid fever at most because of his weak body, how can he not have such a miserable end." ”
While Rong Rong was talking, she suddenly turned her head to look at the corner of the room and said, "No, there are still unclean things in this room." ”
Actually, I felt it at the time, because the aura of this room was too weird. I polished my eyebrows with the tiger's mouth, and the moment my eyes became clear, I saw that the old man's three souls and seven spirits were all wandering in this room.
Grey shadows wandered aimlessly through the room, their eyes blank and their clothes demented, and the room seemed like a cage in which they were imprisoned.
"How so? Could it be that there are still masters in this village? ”
At this time, I was a little overwhelmed by all this in front of me, after all, it was the first time I had encountered this kind of thing. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly walked out of my body.
He walked over to the old man's body, and pulled a handful of hair out of the old man's pocket.
"The crux of the matter is the hair, which someone has cursed with it that it can't leave the house for half a step."
As he spoke, the shadow grabbed a wandering spirit, and found the same strand of hair in its pocket.
"Alas, the only clue is broken again, and we are still a step too late."
The black shadow took the hair in his hand, looked at me and smiled, "Who do you think did this?" ”
I took the hair, and a wet, slippery touch came from the palm of my hand.
"Maybe there are still high-ranking people in this village, but ...... But this doesn't make sense. ”
"How?"
"If there was a grudge between that master and him, then he would have died a long time ago, but if there was no grudge, he would not have been guilty of risking the loss of Yin virtue to harm an old man who was about to die."
The black shadow nodded and said with a smile, "So, the one who killed this old man is not human at all." ”
"Not people? What would that be? ”
"It's a ghost ......"
With that, the black shadow suddenly snatched the hair from my hand and threw it into the air, I don't know what the black shadow was talking about, but in an instant, the hair turned into a black mist and disappeared.
I looked at the scene in front of me, and a bigger mass floated into my heart.
"Who would embarrass an old man who is over 100 years old, even if this old man had any enemies when he was young, he should die by now."
As I thought about this, a terrible thought suddenly came to my mind. I turned my head to look at the black shadow standing beside me, and the black shadow slowly turned its head to look at me.
"It won't be...... Really, right? ”
The shadow nodded slightly.
"Remember the moss you were walking on on that path?"
"Remember, I almost slipped."
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, she was hiding at your feet at the time, and since it was not yet dark, she didn't dare come out and do it."
The dark shadow's words made me shiver instantly, no wonder I only felt that someone was staring at me at the time, but when I turned around, I didn't notice anything.
"Then you were in the mountains, why didn't you come out to help me?"
The black shadow smiled bitterly and said, "I wasn't sure where it was at the time, so I waited for it to attack you before I attacked, but who knew that it didn't show up until you came down the mountain." ”
"No, isn't it sealed?"
At this time, Rong Rong, who was standing behind me, suddenly spoke.
"If I'm not mistaken, those people should have broken the seal."
It seems that we are going to explore the water of the ancestral hall tonight anyway, and now all the clues point to the tunnels of the ancestral hall.
As for the old man, let's let him hang on here, after all, we are two strangers, and we don't want to cause trouble until the mission is completed.
After descending the mountain, we went back to the old lady's house, and before we went back, we bought some quick food at the shop at the entrance of the village. It seems that the old lady can't cook these days, so she can only come to Zhang Luo for dinner today.
After dinner, we began to prepare for the night action, and since we didn't know how big it was, I carried a whole bag of food before leaving, while Rong Rong prepared a lot of magic tools and tools, just waiting for the night to fall.
