Chapter 25: Something Strange in the Town
When going to the mayor's mansion of Tianxin Town, a thick fog suddenly drifted from outside the town, enveloping the entire town in an instant, and Li Jiang, who had a keen sense of five senses, heard the suppressed sobbing sound in the nearby house at this time, and the owner who could hear the sound was extremely frightened.
The mist came strangely, closed his eyes and felt it quietly for a while, Li Jiang opened his eyes, but he noticed a wisp of yin and evil aura from the dense fog, and it could be concluded that there were indeed monsters near this Tianxin Town.
Li Jiang leaned over and patted the somewhat frightened horse, and drove it on.
It didn't take long for two lanterns to appear in the thick fog, unable to illuminate the flames of the fog, but barely allowing people to see the gate under the lights, which was the mayor's mansion.
Li Jiang dismounted and knocked on the door, after a long time, the door slowly and cautiously opened a gap, when he recognized that the door was not a monster, the crack in the door quickly became larger, and a man dressed as a villager said happily: "Dare to ask if it is Lord Jian Xiu?"
Li Jiang nodded.
"Come on, come in, my lord!"
Li Jiang led the horse into the mansion, and another villager stepped forward to take the horse rope and lead the horse into the stables in the backyard.
"The mayor, the mayor, another adult is here!" the villagers enthusiastically introduced Li Jiang into the lobby and excitedly shouted to a white-haired old man sitting at the top of the house.
Before the mayor could speak, a voice came from the left: "It's enough to have one poor way to eliminate demons, do you need so many people?"
Li Jiang looked for prestige, and saw a middle-aged man in a black and white sword robe sitting on a chair, his face was blue, there was a Venus sign between his eyebrows, his black hair was coiled high, meticulous, and there was a black long sword at his knees.
However, his appearance and his calm and relaxed appearance do have a bit of a dusty atmosphere, which makes people unconsciously feel convinced of him.
"Stinky Taoist, don't pretend to Lao Tzu here, your set will deceive these rural mountain people, you don't have fart skills, but you dress like a dog!" A bald man opposite the Taoist priest opened his mouth and scolded.
That guy's appearance is really vicious, his stature is excessively tall, he is about two heads taller than Li Jiang, his face is full of pits, and there is a narrow scar on the left side of his face, whenever he speaks, the scar will writhe like a worm, just this look, enough to scare a three-year-old child.
The Taoist priest seemed to have long been accustomed to the bald head's abuse, and he was not angry, but just said softly: "Bald head, if you pinch your fingers, you will have a bloody disaster tonight." ”
The bald head touched his head and sneered: "You stinky Taoist priest who has no conscience, uncle, if I pinch my feet, you will be punished by heaven!"
When the mayor saw that the two were fighting again, he immediately started to make peace, and he didn't lose his smile.
In addition to these two people, there were also three sword cultivators present, a thin man, an old man, and a middle-aged fat man.
The three of them were not as quiet as the Taoist priests and bald heads.
"I don't know the name of this adult. The mayor smiled humbly at Li Jiang.
"Jiang Li. Li Jiang casually made up a pseudonym.
"Oh, it's Lord Jiang, please take a seat. ”
When Li Jiang sat down, the bald urn said to the mayor: "Old man, this dusk is almost over, you should tell the matter again, and the spirit iron mentioned in the notice is taken out for the uncle to see." ”
The mayor smiled again, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you about it." ”
"About a few months ago, an old man in the village passed away, and in the midst of grief, our town began to do the funeral for him, and for the next few days, the funeral was done in a proper manner, as usual. ”
"It happened that on the night of the first seven days, the whole town was suddenly surrounded by a thick fog, well, just like today, we are surrounded by mountains and deep fog, so we didn't take this fog seriously at the time. ”
"In the middle of the night, I was woken up by a scream, oh no, the whole village was awakened by that voice, and the scream came from the mourning hall of the old man's house, and when we arrived, it was, just, ......."
The dense fog outside the window, the swaying fire in the lobby, and the mayor's low words, made several people present feel a little cool.
Syllable!
The bald head slapped the table and scolded angrily: "That's it, old fellow, can you talk a little bit?
Everyone glared at the bald heads, but they were startled by his sudden slapping of the table.
"What are you looking at, do you want to fight?" The bald head was full of ferocity, and he was not afraid of everyone present at all, so he all went back.
"Master Mo is angry, and listen to the old man......" The mayor accompanied a few more smiling faces, which quieted the bald head, and continued: "About a few months ago, an old man in the village passed away......
Syllable!
The bald head slapped the table again and glared at the mayor angrily: "Old man, are you fucking playing Lao Tzu? Do you have to start talking about your mother from a few months ago? Fuck me twice? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu chopped you with a sword?"
"Lord Mo is angry, old, old, old,......" the mayor still smiled.
At this time, a young man next to the mayor stepped forward with an apologetic face, took the mayor's hand, and said with a wry smile: "Excuse me, my grandfather's illness has happened again, so let me talk about it." ”
"On the first seven days, when we heard the screams and arrived, we saw that the old man who should have died came to life, no, maybe he didn't live, but he crawled out of the coffin, like a wild beast, and bit his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to death!"
"When we arrived, he ignored us at all, tore open the belly of his grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law, ate his heart and liver, and finally dug out the little cub in his granddaughter-in-law's belly, and bit ...... when he opened his mouth."
"We were all frightened, we all ran away, and when we went again at dawn, the old man was gone, and even his grandchildren and daughters-in-law who had been eaten by him were gone. ”
"We reported this matter to the higher-ups, but people didn't believe it at all, and they disliked that we had a long way to go here, and no one came here to help us, so we had no choice but to post a notice by ourselves and seek help from the past sword cultivators. ”
After listening to the young man's words, everyone present fell silent.
Resurrection of the dead?
Still eating hearts and livers?
What kind of monster is this?
The Taoist priest was the first to speak: "I have seen a lot of monsters, but listening to your description, it seems that this is not the monster's trouble, but the dead old man......"
Someone chimed in: "Could it be that the old man was originally a monster?"
The young man shook his head: "Absolutely not, Uncle Tie has lived here for more than ninety years, how can he be a monster?"
"Since he wasn't a monster, how could he come back from the dead and do such a horrific thing?"
With a bald head, he stood up and said loudly: "It doesn't matter if he's a monster or not, he won't kill them all!"
The young man looked at his bald head with some embarrassment: "Master Mo, the villain's words haven't been finished yet." ”
"If there's a fart, you should let it go!" the bald head glared.
The young man hurriedly continued: "After that incident, every dusk, there is a thick fog drifting, and in the second half of the night, there is a smell wafting in the whole town, and many families in the town say that they have seen their dead and buried relatives, look at this ......"
This is so mysterious that everyone present looks unconvinced.
At this time, Li Jiang, who was sitting in the corner, frowned slightly, but he remembered something strange.
"Is there such an evil spirit in a barren place like Jian Fantian?"
