Lin Ran's complexion changed slightly, and these vines were overflowing with yin energy, accompanied by scorching ghost energy, and it was extraordinary.

The system grabbed her clothes and shouted: [Host, the grapes are fine!] ]

“……”

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Lin Ran really wanted to give it a burst.

She ducked over a grapevine, and a thunder fire talisman was struck, burning the nearby vines to ashes, and the power of thunder and fire in the talisman was the most powerful way to restrain such evil things, and the grapevines instinctively retreated as if they had a consciousness of their own.

Lin Ran didn't stop, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and hit a few more talismans.

"Where is the demon spirit, appear quickly!"

A gloomy wind blew, and the vines fluttered in the wind, and the branches rattled, and they stretched out towards her relentlessly, becoming denser and denser, blocking out the outside daylight, and the whole space became dark, trapping her firmly in it.

Lin Ran squinted slightly, it was really embarrassing!

She took out a thunder guide talisman from her bag, and gently touched the demon pestle, "The five thunder messengers have turned into a thousand truths, and I am in harmony with you today!" ”

Several lightning bolts fell, hitting the vines, and the vines that covered the sky and the sun were scorched black by the thunder, but after they moved, they attacked more violently.

"Woohoo, woohoo......"

A strange sound sounded under the trellis, and Lin Ran saw that on the branches of every vine around her, there were human faces, and those faces were hideous and terrifying, and they opened their huge mouths and roared loudly, and their voices were hoarse like breaking gongs.

Lin Ran's brain was a little dizzy from this noise, she only used the dream technique last night, and she was in a good state at the moment with Tao Bao's Heavenly Soul Psychic.

[Host!] ]

"Ran!"

The system and the extraordinary spoke at the same time, and the amulet on Lin Ran's body was invalid when several vines approached, and the extraordinary jumped up from her wrist, opened her mouth and bit towards the vines, and with a flick of her tail, several heavenly thunderbolts summoned down.

Ancient spirit beasts like Jiao have their own uniqueness, and the thunder and lightning they summon are the heavenly thunder that truly contains the power of nature, rather than the thunder and fire condensed by mana like Lin Ran.

Feeling the power of the thunder, the vine panicked, and even the human face on the vine screamed in panic, and hurriedly retracted all his claws.

Lin Ran bit the tip of his middle finger and drew the demon seal out of thin air, and then the demon pestle pressed the spell, and shouted loudly: "Ten thousand demons, the evil spirit retreats!" ”

The Demon Seal was full of light, and ten thousand golden lights erupted from the Demon Suppression Pestle, like a sharp blade, cutting through the dim enchantment formed by the condensation of Yin Qi, and there seemed to be the sound of something bursting in the air.

The faces of the vines let out a painful scream, as if coming from the sky, piercing the eardrums, and then becoming indifferent and inaudible, and the vines full of yin qi also withered in an instant, turning into black smoke and dissipating.

Lin Ran's forehead was dripping with sweat, her lips were pale, and the system circled around her, [Is the host okay?] ]

Extraordinary also climbed on her wrist and flicked her tail, looking at her with worried eyes.

Lin Ran sighed softly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that it damaged a little essence and blood and hurt a little vitality." ”

She touched Extraordinary's head, "Thank you." ”

If it weren't for Fang Cai Feifei blocking her, the next situation would be a little dangerous.

Extraordinary screamed twice, and was very useful for her compliment.

The system flew under the vines, the antenna turned, and a chime was remembered: [Host, corpses detected underground.] ]

Lin Ran twisted her eyebrows slightly, walked under the vine and looked at it, grabbed a handful of mud in her hand, the color of the soil was dark and wet, with a faint smell of fishiness and corpse, she threw the soil and took out her mobile phone.

The system is unknown, so what is the host doing?] ]

"Call the police, someone has to dig up these bodies, I don't have the strength now."

Lin Ran made a phone call and briefly explained what had happened, and then found a relatively clean place to sit down, looking at the grape trellis from afar.

There was a corpse buried under each vine, and these corpses nourished the vine, so that the whole trellis was filled with yin energy, and every tree had yin energy to breed, so she felt that she could not find a specific source. And the soul of the deceased was pressed underground, not allowed to be reborn, and the resentment was strong, and over time it gradually became entangled with the grape wood, becoming this kind of monster that is neither human nor ghost.

Lin Ran used the Demon Seal to kill them, but the corpses still had to be dug up.

The police arrived after a while, Lin Ran communicated with them, and soon someone started digging the soil, and the people buried under the soil were almost rotten, most of them were only white bones, and many maggots crawled all over the bones, even the criminal policemen who were used to seeing these felt a little disgusted at this time.

Lin Ran asked casually, "How many years has the orchard here, and who are the people who died?" ”

The local criminal investigation captain said: "The orchard has been open for many years, but the income is not good, it can't be done a few years ago and it was abandoned, the boss closed the orchard and returned to his hometown, and this land has not been developed, and the remaining little fruit grove has been placed here, and anyone can come over." We don't know who died, but every year there are some missing people, and it is not excluded that some of them are killed and buried here. ”

In these days, there are all kinds of people, and it is not strange to kill people and bury corpses, and since there is a dead man buried under every vine, it seems that the method is still the same person's work.

Lin Ran didn't see any traces of the Xuanmen spell in this, and the result of the mutation of the vine was just an accident, not to mention that if you really want to deliberately cultivate such a monster, of course, it is more appropriate to place it in a place where the air flow is blocked, so that the yin qi does not disperse, and it is also more conducive to the growth of the monster.

But this grape forest has already caused a lot of impact here, just the car accident that happened in the past three years, as well as Tao Bao's death, are inseparable from this grape forest, if she didn't suddenly come over to take a look, I don't know how many people will be harmed in the future.

"Teacher Lin, what should I do with this forest?"

Knowing that Lin Ran is a special department, the captain of the criminal investigation team can't help but ask how to deal with it, Lin Ran said: "After you finish collecting evidence, this grape forest will be pushed, a layer of mud will be dug up, exposed to sunlight for a few days, and then a layer of new soil will be basically no problem." ”

The captain wrote them down one by one and expressed his gratitude: "Thanks to Mr. Lin this time." ”

Lin Ran waved her hand, not caring much, "It's nothing, but I can't help much with the investigation of the case, after all, I'm not professional at all in this regard." ”

After chatting with the criminal investigation captain for a few more words, Lin Ran said hello and went back to the hotel first.

Originally, I just wanted to come and see this orchard, but I was not prepared for this kind of thing, and I ended up hurting myself and went back.

The practice of the past few days made her feel tired and mental, Lin Ran ate something casually after going back, and fell asleep, as for going to see Zhang Xiaoyi, I will talk about it tomorrow.

Lin Ran slept very hard this night, and didn't wake up until almost noon, she glanced at her mobile phone, Xie Tiantian sent a few messages, saying that a few students in Zhang Xiaoyi's class were going to visit the hospital in the afternoon, and asked her if she wanted to be together.

Lin Ran was a little surprised, she was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow, so she immediately agreed.

She went to buy a bouquet of flowers, and in the afternoon she met with Xie Tiantian and Zhang Xiaoyi's classmates, who were Zhang Xiaoyi's roommates, one of the girls was a little punk, dressed quite handsome, wore several earrings on her ears, and tattooed her arms.

Lin Ran can't understand this fashion, but today's young people have their own personalities, and an old antique like her can't say anything.

But this girl feels a little weird, but Lin Ran can't say it for a while.

"Teacher Xie, this is ......" Several students were a little surprised when they saw Lin Ran.

Lin Ran had already thought of a statement about this, "I'm a fan of Ms. Lu, I heard that her daughter was sick, so I wanted to visit, and I didn't want to be too abrupt, so I joined you, I hope you don't mind." ”

Zhang Xiaoyi's adoptive mother, Ms. Lu Mei, is a painter and is also well-known in the city.

The hospital where Zhang Xiaoyi was treated was a private hospital in the city, and when she was on the road, Lin Ran also listened to the students chatting casually.

There are four girls in total, and the relationship between the other three is very good at first glance, but the handsome girl can't get along with them.

Lin Ran couldn't help but be a little curious when she heard the three girls call her Senior Sister, "Why is it called Senior Sister, is she one year older than you?" ”

Lin Ran had a kind attitude, and a girl explained to her with a smile: "Senior Sister Yuan is a junior, two years older than us, Xiaoyi enrolled more than two years ago, and it was supposed to be a session with Senior Sister Yuan, but she was not in good health and suspended school, so she was with us for a term, but she had a good relationship with Senior Sister Yuan, Xiaoyi hoped that Senior Sister Yuan would visit her, and it happened that we also had this plan, so we simply went together." ”

Lin Ran knew that the girl named Yuan Jie was listening to the song with headphones and didn't pay attention to them, so it seems that her personality is also quite cool.

Xie Tiantian said with a smile: "Yuan's grades are very good, and his works in school are also outstanding, and he has won several awards. ”

Several other girls also nodded and said excitedly: "And Senior Sister Yuan is still in the school's constellation club, she knows tarot cards, which is very effective, many people go to her for divination, we all worship her!" ”

Tarot cards?

Lin Ran glanced at the system, and the system twisted his body and explained: [A Western way of divination, similar to Eastern hexagrams.] ]

I went, it turned out that I met a colleague, no wonder she felt a little kind when she saw Yuan Jie.

Lin Ran looked at Yuan Jie's eyes lit up slightly, the era she lived in was different from the current information age, although there were also explorers and navigators from the West who came to the East, but the exchanges between the two sides were mainly in culture, and there were very few exchanges in magic and Taoism.

Although some Western sects were also introduced to China, they did not arise, and these things were unknown to Lin Ran.

"Oh, I really want to have a good conversation with someone."

The system glanced at her, [Host, please put yourself in the right position, you're just an exorcist.] ]

Lin Ran rolled her eyes, "But that doesn't prevent me from learning about Western culture, right?" ”

However, Lin Ran wanted to think about it, but after all, the occasion was not suitable, and she did not directly go to have a cultural exchange with Yuan Jie.

After the group arrived at the hospital, they went directly to Zhang Xiaoyi's ward.

Zhang Xiaoyi lives in a VIP suite, she is half lying on the hospital bed, wearing a mask, is closing her eyes to recuperate, it can be clearly seen that her eyes are blue and black, her mental state is not good, the whole person is very thin, the exposed arms are bruised and the blood vessels are protruding.

There was a noble lady sitting next to her, Lin Ran had seen this woman when she was psychic with Tao Bao, she was Zhang Xiaoyi and Tao Bao's adoptive mother, and also the well-known painter, Ms. Lu Mei.

Xie Tiantian knocked on the door, Zhang Xiaoyi, who was half-lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little eager, and when he saw Xie Tiantian standing at the door, he frowned, "Teacher Xie?" ”

Xie Tiantian walked into the ward, followed by others, Zhang Xiaoyi's brows furrowed more and more, until he saw Yuan Jie who fell to the back, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a little smile appeared in his eyes, "Xiaojie, you are here!" ”

Yuan Jie nodded, several of Zhang Xiaoyi's roommates gave away fruits and flowers, and Lin Ran also put the flowers she bought on the bedside, taking the opportunity to get close to Zhang Xiaoyi.

Zhang Xiaoyi was wearing a mask, Lin Ran couldn't see her face completely, but she saw that the back of her ears was slightly black, and there was a faint blood between her eyebrows, and at the moment when she was close to her, the heavenly soul attached to the Huaiyin wood in the bag suddenly rioted, if it wasn't pressed by the soul fixing talisman, maybe the heavenly soul would have appeared directly in front of people.

Lin Ran glanced at Zhang Xiaoyi's elbow and saw a scar the size of a pigeon's egg, as if a piece of meat had been cut off by a knife, the color of the scar was relatively light, and it was not very old.

She squinted, and only for a moment withdrew her gaze, and Zhang Xiaoyi noticed the new face.

"You are?"

"Hello, my name is Lin Ran, I am a fan of Ms. Lu, I heard that you are sick, come over and have a relationship, I wish you a speedy recovery."

Ms. Lu Mei was a little surprised, and shook hands with her again to thank her: "I have a heart." ”

The group talked to Zhang Xiaoyi in the ward for a while, Zhang Xiaoyi's expression was faint and not very interested, and Ms. Lu Mei said helplessly: "Xiaoyi's body is a little uncomfortable, I don't have much strength, I'm embarrassed." ”

Xie Tiantian waved his hand, "It's nothing, your body is important, you have a good rest." ”

They didn't want to stay long, now that they had seen it, they couldn't bother others too much, so they said goodbye, Zhang Xiaoyi suddenly shouted: "Xiaojie, can you stay with me?" ”

Yuan Jie was stunned, nodded and stopped.

Ms. Lu Mei sent them out and apologized to them again.

One of Zhang Xiaoyi's roommates asked in a whisper, "Auntie, is Xiaoyi okay?" ”

"It's not a big problem, I'll be able to go back to school after a while, don't worry." Ms. Lu Mei didn't want to talk more about Zhang Xiaoyi's condition, so she only said a few vague words, but her eyebrows also carried a deep sadness.

Lin Ran stood lazily with her arms crossed, watching them greet Ms. Lu Mei.

Just took a closer look, Zhang Xiaoyi obviously had karma, and the scar on her hand was very interesting, if she guessed correctly, there should be some small surprises under Zhang Xiaoyi's mask.
