Chapter 9: Corpse Golems
The wind blows the locust leaves, dances on the branches, and blows the tune.
Between the two big locust trees at the entrance of Nanliang Village, the breeze stroked the rippling hair on the forehead, and under the eyebrows as sharp as a sword, a pair of starry eyes looked at the village.
However, the sun was in the middle of the day, and there was no smoke rising from the village.
Just like a few days ago when he stood in the Soul Temple and looked out here.
Quiet!
It's quiet!
It had been an hour since he had come here from the Soul Temple, but he had only seen a few people flash past the village.
But there were only a few people, and he looked very strange.
Judging by their walking posture, it is very wooden.
Standing outside the village, although he couldn't see the expressions on their faces, he couldn't feel the vitality of normal people.
That's why he came here for an hour, but he never went in.
He had been thinking about the reason, but in the middle of his moment, a very sudden voice sounded in front of him.
"Roar! Isn't this the Lord Mo stationed in the Soul Temple? ”
Hearing the voice, Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, and then looked fixedly.
At this look, he was frightened and stepped back.
Without it.
It's just because the person who suddenly appeared in front of him is the unjust soul Li Shan he killed a few nights ago.
And now, under the scorching sun, a living Li Shan is standing here.
Although he has experienced many ghosts and strange events in the past few days, a person who was originally dead suddenly came back to life.
Don't talk about him, whoever puts it on him will have a chill on his back.
"Li Shan."
The body took a few steps back, and after the two sides pulled away for a distance, they froze, and Mo Fan tried to call at this Li Shan.
"What's the matter, Lord Mo, we met in the Soul Temple a few days ago, why did you forget about the contemptible person so quickly."
Looking at Mo Fan's actions, Li Shan scratched his head and was a little confused.
"Have you ever been out of the village lately, especially at night, to the redwood forest in the southwest?"
His right hand touched the pig-killing knife inserted in his waist, and looked at Li Shan cautiously, and Mo Fan asked tentatively.
"Nope!"
"Ever since I found out that Xiuxiu was dead outside the Soul Temple, I've been helping Xiu Ta Niang take care of her funeral for the past few days?"
"I said, Master Mo, what's wrong with you." looked at Mo Fan's actions and listened to the meaning of Mo Fan's words.
Li Shan was very confused, so he asked.
And hearing Li Shan's answer, Mo Fan frowned instead, and looked at Li Shan carefully a few times, in broad daylight, this Li Shan could not be a ghost change!
This shows that the unjust soul Li Shan he killed a few nights ago is likely to be changed by other ghosts.
Thinking like this in his heart, he felt that the Li Shan in front of him was a person.
On the other hand, Li Shan, after seeing the vigilance in Mo Fan's eyes fade, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a strange smile.
Then Reqing invited Mo Fan and said: "It's noon, I guess Master Mo hasn't eaten, if you don't dislike it, go to the contemptible house to sit." ”
Li Shan's invitation, Mo Fan was a little moved, looking at the sincerity on his face, if he could understand Nanliang Village through Li Shan, it would be of great help to him to find the corpse puppet.
So he nodded and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Lishan." ”
"Haha, that's the case, it's time for Lord Mo to have a few drinks."
Seeing Mo Fan nodding in response, Li Shan joked with a smile, then put on a gesture of invitation, and took the lead towards the village.
However, Mo Fan, who had not walked a few steps behind Li Shan, suddenly stopped, looked down at Li Shan, who had no shadow under the sun, and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Speaking of Li Shan, when he saw Mo Fan stop behind him, he asked very puzzledly: "Master Mo, what's wrong with you." ”
"It's nothing, suddenly a few friends said that they were going to come to the Soul Temple at noon today, you see my memory, I almost forgot about this stubble."
"Alas! This brain. ”
Saying that, Mo Fan slapped his head a few times, and then said to Li Shan with apologies in his eyes: "Brother Li Shan, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't talk to you today." ”
"Another day, another day, if you have time, you will definitely come to the door to disturb your brother."
After speaking, Mo Fan didn't give Li Shanzai a chance to speak, turned around and left very simply.
The pace was very hurried, and as soon as Li Shan raised his hand to say something, the person was already dozens of meters away.
"Humph! If I lose a soul, I will kill you sooner or later," looking at Mo Fan who was far away, Li Shan's eyes suddenly flashed with a bloody light, and he said coldly.
......
The cool breeze was beating on his back, and on a mound a few hundred meters away from Nanliang Village, Mo Fan lay on the ground and watched Li Shan, who disappeared into the village.
I was afraid and puzzled for a while.
It is said that ghosts are afraid of the scorching sun, why did Li Shan just now face the sun without a trace of fear.
Could it be that the other party is not a ghost, but not a ghost, why would there be no shadow?
This is like the four incense sticks in the main hall of the Soul Temple, he can't figure it out.
And just like that, he spent the whole afternoon.
It wasn't until the sun set and the moon rose that he got up from that mound.
Looking at the stars dotting the night sky and looking at the lights of Nanliang Village, he decided to go in and take a look.
Because at dusk, he saw Li Shan walk out of Nanliang Village and walk in the direction of Scarlet Cloud City.
That's why he planned to take advantage of the other party's absence to go in and take a look, and in the afternoon he thought for a long time and felt that Li Shan should be dead.
And this Li Shan in Nanliang Village is likely to be changed by the corpse puppet mentioned in the second task on the waist card.
Since this is the case, then there is not much danger for him to enter Nanliang Village now.
At the same time, take advantage of the other party's absence to find out the situation in Nanliang Village, only by thoroughly understanding it, can he be ready to deal with the corpse puppet.
Under the bright moon, Mo Fan, who was holding a pig-killing knife in his hand, stood between two locust trees, poking his head out and cautiously observing the village.
Looking at the figures walking inside, listening to the voices coming out.
Then he stepped in.
……
Although there are only a dozen households, except for a few households, the rest are lit with animal oil lamps, and the lights also illuminate half of the village.
Walking cautiously through the streets of the village, watching the smiling figures passing by, and listening to the sounds of sitting next to each other on the threshold.
Mo Fan frowned slightly, he always felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't say it for a while.
So he grabbed a middle-aged man who was coming towards him, and was ready to ask him about Li Shan.
However, what he didn't expect was that when the other party heard Li Shan, his eyes suddenly showed fear, and then he walked away without looking back.
Seeing this situation, Mo Fan was stunned.
"What's the situation?"
Then he had doubts and asked a few more people.
Unexpectedly, everyone who heard the word Li Shan, the expression of the original laughter and laughter, suddenly showed fear, and then either left in a panic, or turned home and closed the door tightly.
In this way, at ten o'clock in the evening, Nanliang Village, which was originally brightly lit and full of people and shouting, suddenly turned off all the lights and quieted down.
Under the bright moon, except for the breeze, only the lonely Mo Fan stood there on the silent street.
At this time, he also understood what the problem was, but he still planned to knock on a house and ask about the situation carefully.
But just as he was walking towards a house, an old man in his sixtieth birthday suddenly stepped out of a corner and beckoned to him.
