The light was dim at night, and the reason why I was sure it was a female corpse was because it was wearing an embroidered cheongsam.

But the corpse looked very hard, floating straight in the water, and no matter how fast the river was, it still ran straight through the river like a log.

The river was flowing so fast that before I could take a closer look, the female corpse had quickly left my field of vision and floated away towards the lower reaches of the river.

I beckoned to Lu Shengcai and motioned for him to follow me downstream.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shengcai pounced like a bear and put his arm around my shoulder.

I was startled, and thought that this kid had fallen into evil again, so I heard him stick to me and whisper: "Don't be shadowless this time, as soon as you disappear, my heart trembles." ”

In order to reassure him, I could only pat his hand: "Okay, okay, you let me go first." ”

As soon as Lu Shengcai's hand was released, I immediately performed the concealment technique and made my body invisible.

Lu Shengcai's face suddenly deflated: "Damn, why don't you talk and don't count!" ”

"I just asked you to let go of me, I didn't say I wouldn't hide."

"Big head, you tell me the truth, are you using me as bait?"

"Look at what you're talking about, of course I'm using you as bait, a fool can see it, okay?"

"Damn, don't bring such an unrighteous person!"

"Don't blame me for not being righteous, my ability is limited, and I can only use you as bait to lure out the evil. I guess these evil cults are targeting you, and if you don't get them cleaned up in a hurry, it will be even more troublesome in the future. ”

"It's really fake, don't lie to me!"

"Let's go, don't grind!"

Lu Shengcai swallowed his breath and walked sullenly towards the downstream of the river.

The reason why Master and I were able to hide in this small mountain city was because when we first arrived in the mountain city, Master laid out a ghost lantern array on the four mountains outside the city, east, south, west, and north.

When performing the concealment technique, our own aura can echo with the spiritual rhyme in the lamp array, people borrow the lamp potential, and the lamp helps the mountain, so that our breath is completely integrated with the surrounding mountains and the air in the mountains, and the aura hovering over us also forms a special refractive system, allowing us to eliminate the invisible.

Master said that without the help of the four ghost light arrays, the concealment technique would not be able to exert such great power. But whenever you cast a spell, you must learn to borrow strength from the surrounding environment, and use strength to fight in order to get twice the result with half the effort.

Lu Shengcai and I walked along the river for more than 20 minutes when we saw a dark shadow flashing on the river bank in front of us.

Lu Shengcai whispered to me, "Do you see what that thing is?" ”

"Don't talk too much, go into the woods, and take a light step."

Lu Shengcai immediately lightened his steps and silently burrowed into the forest, he used the shade of the night to cover his figure, and carefully approached the place where the figure appeared just now.

At this time, we are about ten steps away from the river, the sky has begun to be cloudy, the dark gray morning light hits the river, and we see an emaciated woman lying near the river, and beside her, is a "headless female corpse" dragged out of the river just now.

It also took me a little effort to identify the woman lying on the river is Lu Shengcai's!

And what Chen placed beside her was not a female corpse, but a paper figure with a missing head.

At a glance, I knew that the paper figure was made of waterproof camphor veneer, and on top of it, there was a cheongsam made of embroidered sheets.

This thing, at first glance, looks like it is from my master's handwriting.

For the past eight years, Master would disappear for a few days every month, saying that he was going to the mountains to deal with some chores, but every time I asked about the specific details, he always told me not to ask more.

When I saw the headless paper man, the doubts in my heart were even heavier.

What does Master do when he goes up the mountain every month?

Click!

There was a sudden slight explosion in the direction of the river, and Lu Shengcai and I poked our necks at the same time, and saw that Lu Shengcai had a long opening on the top of his fucking head, and a large tuft of gray-yellow long hair jumped out of this opening.

Lu Shengcai's mouth opened wide on the spot, and as soon as I saw that he was about to scream, I quickly covered his nose and mouth to stop him from making a sound.

In the cold light of the early morning, the opening was crumbling bigger and bigger, and it wasn't long before a long-haired monkey with a slender body crawled out of the crack.

The guy was very large, standing up like an old tree in a blank garment, and he was more than three meters tall.

It obviously has a monkey-like body and tail, but that face looks like a hideous cat face.

Isn't this the legendary old cat monkey?

This thing is recorded in our Xiaolongtan's "Bozang Sutra", but the scriptures are written in black and white that the old cat and monkey are originally a kind of monster imagined by human beings, and they do not exist in reality, but the book says that this thing has a cat-faced monkey body, like a dead branch.

When I saw this paragraph at that time, I thought it was inexplicable, since it didn't exist, why did the book record its appearance?

Now when I see that huge body like a dead tree, I feel even more awkward in my heart.

At this point, the cat and monkey lifted the sac it had worn through into the air, and made the crack in the sac face the sunlight.

Exposed to the sun, smoke soon rose from the skin, and it didn't take long for the smoke to catch fire, the flames steamed, and the whole skin was surrounded by fire and smoke, making it difficult for people to see its original appearance, and I only had a faint feeling that after this thing began to flame, it looked a bit like a lit camphor wood chip from a distance.

When the skin was burned out, the cat and monkey grabbed the paper figure on the ground again.

It stood up steadily, then shrunk back and slowly burrowed into the paper figure.

Because this paper figure has no head, there is a hole in the neck with a bowl mouth, and the body of a cat and monkey can get into such a small opening, and such a small paper figure can also completely accommodate the huge body of a cat and monkey.

When the cat and monkey put his whole body into the paper figure, he saw that a blurry halo quickly emanated from the paper man, and when the halo disappeared, the paper man containing the cat and monkey turned into Lu Shengcai's fucking appearance.

The camphor bark became human-like skin, and even the cheongsam, which was tied with embroidered sheets, became a well-fitting sweater and trousers.

Lu Shengcai's two eyes were bigger than a light bulb, if I hadn't blocked his mouth, he would have screamed, during which his body was still writhing violently, and I could only press him hard, for fear that he would be too excited and jump out of the forest directly.

The cat and monkey lowered their heads and looked at their flesh expressionlessly, then turned around and swam towards the river.

If you guessed correctly, it should have gone back to Lu Shengcai's home.

As soon as I saw that the cat and monkey were leaving, Lu Shengcai wanted to pull my hand away, I put my shoulder against his shoulder blade, and unloaded the strength of his hand, he couldn't break free, so he squinted his eyes and looked at me with pleading eyes.

I could only advise him: "Don't be impulsive, that's not your mother." ”

Just as I was speaking, the strength in Lu Shengcai's hand suddenly loosened, and then he rolled his eyes at me.
