Chapter 265: Dumplings (10)

Have you ever encountered a ghost covering your eyes? I think that even if you encounter it, you don't necessarily know that you are unknowingly blindfolded by a pair of demons.

Xing Ruyi felt this way now, she sat on the roof of the grass house, looking at the courtyard of the village chief's house, and wondered why she didn't see the evil aura hovering over the courtyard during the day.

That's right, the yin and evil qi is not a simple ghost qi or demon qi, but a kind of evil qi that makes people very uncomfortable when several qi are intertwined.

The moon is full tonight, but there is not a single star on the dark sky, which makes the whole sky look unusually clean According to the fox, there will be a strange phenomenon in the village tonight, and the center of this phenomenon is the village chief's house.

At this time, according to the fox's arrangement, Chang Taizheng and Li Mao were hiding outside the village chief's house. Yin Yuan slipped out of the door while Siniang and the bell were not paying attention, and was sitting on the roof of the village chief's house with his chin on his head.

After a few hours, a strange scene appeared! First, the lights in the village chief's house came on, and then the door opened, and many small dolls jumped out of it. Those dolls were less than a foot tall, male and female, old and young, and they were the same puppets that Bell had talked about earlier.

Seeing those dolls, Yin Yuan's eyes lit up, he first hooked the corners of his mouth, and then carefully lowered his body and made a kind of action that hunters are used to.

Xing Ruyi, who was originally sitting on the opposite roof, couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw these dolls, and just wanted to go down to take a look, he was hugged by the fox that suddenly appeared. The moment he entered his arms, the fox cast a spell of invisibility. Xing Ruyi was about to ask why, but the fox's finger pressed against her lip.

Xing Ruyi pouted and glanced at the fox, who smiled slightly and motioned for her to look down.

Xing Ruyi noticed that in the middle of the courtyard, an old man-like rag doll was looking up in Xing Ruyi's direction, and those eyes emitted a strange green light in the dark night.

"This doll plays the role of a small official, that is, the supervisor of this group of dolls, and belongs to the eyes of the village chief, if I hadn't appeared in time, you would have been discovered by it."

Xing Ruyi stuck out his tongue. Because she knew that the fox could probe her thoughts, there were some things that she didn't need to say, just think about the fox in her head.

"What does the village chief do with these dolls?"

"Look closely, and you'll know in a moment." The fox said, letting go of the finger that was blocking Xing Ruyi's lips.

Xing Ruyi didn't ask anymore, and focused all his attention on those dolls. At first, those dolls

It's just jumping around the yard without a purpose, and it looks like it's frolicking in the moonlight. After jumping for a while, they began to squeeze out of the door one by one under the command of the old man's puppet, and scattered away, entering when they saw the door, but it didn't look like they were entering randomly.

"Are these dolls still picky?" Xing Ruyi said suspiciously, and when she saw the appearance of one of the dolls clearly, she couldn't help but let out a "babbling".

"See?" The fox asked, and the hand that circled Xing Ruyi did not let go.

"That doll just now seems to be the woman who talked to me during the day, the little daughter-in-law who helped in the Yun family. And, did you notice, the doll was wearing a dress similar to the one I gave to the little daughter-in-law during the day. ”

"It's not just that doll, if you look at the others, is it also a little familiar?"

The fox said, gesturing at one of the pedestrian dolls who were strolling down the street.

Xing Ruyi recognized it, the doll was the husband during the day, and what he was wearing was also the clothes that his eldest brother often gave him during the day.

"Brother Chang?"

Xing Ruyi subconsciously looked at the place where Chang Tai and Li Mao were hiding, but found that the two of them were also gone, and he didn't know if he was temporarily invisible like them, or if he went somewhere else.

"Don't worry, he's fine, Li Mao took him elsewhere."

After the fox finished speaking, he picked up Xing Ruyi and flew down from the eaves with her. The fox's purpose was obvious, it was to follow the husband doll and let Xing Ruyi see what these dolls were going to do.

The doll seems to be very leisurely, carrying a gong made of cloth and walking slowly on the village path. Occasionally, stop and look up at the moon.

"What is it doing? You can't be admiring the beautiful moonlight tonight, right? ”

"No, it's watching the road, in other words, it's receiving instructions from the old man's doll."

"Receiving instructions? I thought these dolls were able to think for themselves. Look at how leisurely you are when you walk. By the way, if I catch two of them back, can I play with Yin Yuan? ”

"Yin Yuan?" The fox looked at the grooming doll and said in a playful tone, "I think Yin Yuan will be more than happy to eat them." ”

"Eaten? My little Yin Yuan won't be so hungry, right? ”

"Wait a minute, you will know, these dolls, in the eyes of ordinary children, may be cute and interesting puppet dolls, but in the eyes of a little monster like Yin Yuan, they are equivalent to small snacks."

While talking, the puppet moved again! After turning two streets, he stopped at the door of a house, then pushed his head out of a small crack in the door, and squeezed in sideways.

"Whose house is this?"

"The Husband's Home"

"Oh!"

Xing Ruyi sighed softly, and the person was also taken into the door by the fox. When the puppet squeezed into the bedroom with short legs in the same way, the fox also used a spell to bring Xing Ruyi in.

The gentry doll spun around the room, followed by jumping onto the bed, stepping on the groom's chest to his mouth and nose, leaning down, sucking small mouth to big mouth, small nose to big nose.

The breath of the living person was sucked into the body of the gending doll one by one, and the groom's face began to turn waxy yellow from the original healthy color, and the green light in the eyes of the gending doll faded a lot.

"This grooming doll is sucking people's souls"

Xing Ruyi said, wanting to stop it, but was stopped by the fox.

"It's useless, you can't save them. Their souls have been almost sucked by these humanoid dolls that resemble them, and even if they are saved, they are only the living dead, so why bother? ”

"But if they don't save them, they will become a dead man!"

"Ruyi, sometimes, the dead are happier than the living, let alone these living dead. I brought you here just to let you know the truth, and I don't want you to get caught up in it. ”

"But I ......"

Xing Ruyi sighed in his heart and said silently, "I really can't bear to look at it and ignore it."

"I know" the fox whispered, hugging Xing Ruyi hard: "My Ruyi is too kind, so I'm wondering if I'm wrong and shouldn't have taken you to see this." ”

Xing Ruyi took a deep breath and made a very relaxed expression: "It's okay, I just can't pass my own level." The reason why you brought me here is because you know that even if you don't bring me, I will sneak here by myself, and when the time comes, it will make things get out of control to the point that you and I can't control them.

I also know that my soft-heartedness may not be a good thing for the world in front of me. Don't worry, I'm fine, I just want to know what the hell that village chief is going to do? There are so many weird dolls here, why didn't I feel anything beforehand. Could it be that my magic is not working? ”

"Is there someone who doesn't want you to know" The fox let go of his hand and looked into Xing Ruyi's eyes: "Do you remember what I said to you when I was in Shendu?" There must be a reason why you and I are here that we don't know, and that unwarranted existence is not accidental in the sight of you and me. ”

"So what? Do you have another purpose for taking me back to Qingqiu, not just to marry me? I know you, you know me, I never care where the place of marriage is, as long as the object is you, and you, although you are the former Qingqiu Fox Emperor, you may not care about Qingqiu at this time.

You took me back, on the one hand, because you know Qingqiu, know that it is safer than God, and you don't want me to have an accident, let alone let me fall into the conspiracy of others, whether that person is intentional or not. On the other hand, you also want to go back to Qingqiu to explore the true details of the Must-have, because you think there is some mysterious connection between this Must-have and Aoqiu, right? ”

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your eyes. That's right, the appearance of the unwarranted is too coincidental, and there are too many implications between him and Qingqiu. He is neither a human nor a demon, nor a monster, nor a god, I really can't see through what he is.

If it was in the past, I could have left him alone, but now I have you" The fox looked at Xing Ruyi, smiled slightly, and said again: "You are my weakness, in the eyes of others, in my eyes"

"In this way, I'm still too weak" Xing Ruyi hid his face and smiled bitterly: "So now, what are we going to do?" I mean, don't care about these dolls. ”

"These puppet dolls, they have Yin Yuan to deal with, I'll take you back to see the true face of the village chief"

"Village chief? Could it be that in addition to these dolls, he also hides other secrets, and he is disguised without any disguise? ”

"You'll know when you go!"

The fox sold a small pass, took Xing Ruyi's hand, and cast a spell, and Xing Ruyi and the fox both appeared in the courtyard of the village chief's house.

Some of the dolls had returned, and they were gathered around the village chief in a regular manner, their heads upward, raised at strange angles, and they spitted out the living souls they had drawn from the living

The village chief stood in the middle, with a weird smile on his face, and through his mouth and nostrils, he sucked the souls into his body one by one, and his facial features and body shape slowly changed with the inhalation of these souls.

In this way, the village chief changed from an old man to a young man, from a man, to a graceful woman

"Who is she?"

"The village chief, or the Yun family's newly married Mrs. Yun"

As soon as the fox's words were finished, the woman turned around and faced Xing Ruyi. Xing Ruyi was stunned, because the face in front of him looked like himself, oh, no, it should be said that it looked like himself before he traveled to the Tang Dynasty
