Chapter 41: The Cold Black Cat
Gray's voice echoed through the old mansion, and no one answered him.
Several survivors bowed their heads.
The mass grave is a very terrifying and dangerous place when you hear it. If they go, then those who stay will sit back and enjoy the results and complete the trial task without doing anything. Abbreviated as lying to win.
"We're not going!" As the leader of the four survivors, Yang Buwei fully carried forward his fine character of being timid and afraid of death. "Why do you want me to go with you?"
Gray's eyes widened, and he glanced at everyone present. Zhang Xiang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Gray, and Fei Yao's greedy expression looked very confident.
"I have a word, please listen to me." Fei Yao opened his hand and said to the people in the audience.
"We are all survivors, and completing the trial mission is a common goal for all of us. First of all, we must be vigorous in our trial tasks. This time our trial mission is to clean up the mass graves. And Gray intends to be on the front line and take the lead. This spirit is appreciated! We must carefully study every word Gray says and experience it seriously. β
"Some individual comrades sneered at Gray, this kind of behavior is not right!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Of course, I also hope to have a chance to serve you, but Comrade Gray has offered to go himself, and of course we must encourage him."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"We believe that with the efforts of this little comrade Gray, our mission will be successfully accomplished." Fei Yaowan stood in the middle of the old mansion, and he said with spit and stars.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After Fei Yaowan finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea on the table and moistened his throat.
Bang Bang Bang!
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
"That's a good point!"
Fei Yaowan smiled, and he patted the table: "I'll add two more words below." β
"Next, we're going toβ"
"Roll the calves!" Gray let out a loud shout, directly interrupting Fei Yao's tirade. "I thought that when you came to the stage to speak, you must have a high opinion, but I didn't expect to say such vulgar words!"
One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. This principle basically applies to most people, but it does not apply to Gray. Because Gray is not a monk, he is a Taoist priest.
"If you don't go, I'll go alone!"
Gray was furious at first when he saw so many people not going, then his smile gradually spiraled out of control, and finally he burst out laughing.
"Immortal cultivators are alone! Go against the grain! β
This is a test given to me by heaven. How can I retreat? β
He laughed and ran out the door.
Everyone was stunned, this person's brain circuit was probably not different from ordinary people.
Yang Buwei was the first to react.
"Wait! Leave the door behind! What do you mean by coming out of the door? Yang Buwei got up and chased after him, shouting as he chased after him.
"What? I'm going alone, can't I bring some self-defense props? Gray glared at him, holding on to the gate that had just been unloaded from the old mansion, and refused to let go.
"I, I'll go with Big Brother Gray."
Zhang Xiang touched his black-framed glasses, and he said a little timidly. Although the lights in this old mansion were bright, its atmosphere had an indescribable weirdness, and Zhang Xiang felt very uncomfortable.
Soon the survivors were divided into two factions, one was the five survivors led by Yang Buwei and Fei Yao, and the other was Zhang Xiang and Gray, Zhang Xiang and Gray were going to the mass grave on the other side of the mountain to find and get rid of the corpse demons who had escaped into the mass grave.
Ergou wagged his tail and followed behind Zhang Xiang.
"Do you want to come with me? If it's dangerous, I won't be able to save you. Gray turned back to the second dog and said.
"I don't have a problem...... Zhang Xiang took a deep breath as he followed along the village avenue.
"I'm not talking to you." Gray gave Zhang Xiang a blank look.
Ergou walked behind the two with his head held high, and the two people who smelled good gathered together and joined forces, making Ergou feel great.
Barking?
Ergou suddenly saw a black shadow suddenly appear in the dark corner.
What is this?
The speed of the black shadow quickly disappeared from the second dog's field of vision, and it slipped to the other side of Blackwater Village like a gust of wind.
The second dog raised its head, it followed the black shadow curiously, and it gradually distanced itself from Zhang Xiang.
"What about the dog?" Zhang Xiang walked out of the entrance of the village, and he saw that the thin black dog that had been following him behind him suddenly disappeared.
"Let's go! There's not enough time! Gray turned around and saw that Zhang Xiang didn't follow, he thought Zhang Xiang was afraid: "If you retreat from the battle, just retreat." β
The wind whined on both sides, the mountains in front of them were almost pitch black, the moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and there was a penetrating chill in the air.
"I-won't we wait until daylight?" Zhang Xiang's voice trembled a little.
"Daytime? During the day, the corpses and demons have burrowed into the earth, what are you going to purify? Gray smiled. His reasoning was well-founded and convincing, making it impossible for Zhang Xiang to refute it.
That's not right! β¦β¦
As Zhang Xiang walked, an idea suddenly appeared in his heart that he had never thought of before.
Is the task of purifying the mass grave really completed by killing the corpse demons who fled into the mass grave? This is a normal trial!
This trial mission is definitely not that simple. Zhang Xiang thought in his heart.
Although he knew that there was a problem with this task, in the face of learning more clues, Zhang Xiang couldn't find any useful solutions for the time being.
Maybe we should go to the mortuary that the old man said first...... Zhang Xiang thought in his heart. He looked up at Gray, and he opened his mouth, and he stopped talking, and he stopped talking, and finally he didn't muster up the courage to speak.
ββββββββββ
The door of the old mansion was closed, and Yang Buwei reinstalled the gate he had snatched from Gray to the door. The five survivors sat in chairs in the mansion, expecting with great anticipation that Gray would indeed be able to kill the corpse demons.
The dead crow on the old tree suddenly spread its wings, and it raised its hollow eye sockets, and two red spots of light appeared on the eye sockets. The dead crow stared at the old house without saying a word, and it flapped its wings and landed silently on the roof of the house where the old man slept.
Barking!
Woof!
In the quiet village of Heishui, the voice of the second dog constantly echoes in the streets.
The second dog was happily chasing the black shadow, and it saw the true face of this black shadow.
It's a cold black cat.
The black cat has been chased by the second dog for several streets, its fur is messy, and its cold appearance has disappeared at all.
Barking!
The tsundere black cat reflexively gave Ergou a crazy scratch, and then jumped on the roof behind him.
Ahh The second dog suddenly had three more claw marks on its nose, and it quickly retracted its head. By the time Ergou raised his head, the black cat had disappeared.
On the door beam of the house hangs a plaque with the words "Taiping" written on it.
The door of the mortuary was hidden, revealing a chill from the inside.
Where is this?
The second dog raised its head, and it walked in curiously.
In the mortuary lay seven coffins, which were lined up and tied tightly with thick ropes.
