Chapter Seventy-Four: The Walking Dead
The sun was setting, and the feast was coming to an end.
Half of them have already eaten and left, and only a few people with good wine are still scattered around the table and chatting while drinking and chatting.
The big willow tree next to the small pavilion gently swayed its branches, like a twenty-eight girl, Yingying twisted the graceful willow waist, and a frog squatted on the lotus leaf in the pond and crawled on it, screaming 'wow', as if calling the spouse of the lotus leaf opposite. The finches that shuttle through the evening sky catch the red light of the last sunset to catch the newly awakened night insects, and peck as many as possible to return to the nest to feed the suckling cubs.
It is pleasant to have a confidant, a confidant, and a blood relative, and there is a wall that makes people feel disgusted.
A string of prayer beads was counted in Hao Rengui's hand, probably reciting a meditation mantra silently, since his original beads were lost, he got a new string of beads, and began to learn the old way to chant the scriptures when he had nothing to do, and I don't know if what he recited was useful? It's still nerves from time to time, but this thing is persistent, and he still insists on self-discipline, he said, "I know that if I don't insist on letting myself empty my mind, maybe I may really become a demon." ’
Seeing Hao Rengui like this, he was also a little worried about himself, thinking about whether he should also learn what scriptures he recited when he had nothing to do? A circle of people looked at Hao Rengui's closing focus, and the unfamiliar people were all a little palpitating, guessing if there was something wrong with this person? But familiar people don't think much about it, because Hao Rengui's personality is very cold, and these strangers are no different from air in his eyes.
Yue Shan grinned slightly, glanced at the crowd, and said with some embarrassment, "Don't think about it, my friend is like this, he has a light temperament, he doesn't like to talk, and he has been learning the Tao recently. ”
Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't pay much attention to it, because there were many people who had nothing to do with chanting.
Hearing Yue Shan say this, everyone was slightly shocked, and said casually, "Oh, so that's the case, it's not strange." ”
"Oh!" Qiao Ling'er's expression stiffened slightly, as if she was paying attention, and then asked, "Then who is he trained from?" ”
With an embarrassed smile, Yue Shan said, "He didn't have a master, he was all self-taught." ”
"Oh," Qiao Ling'er sighed, "It turned out to be Ye Xiu!" ”
No one paid attention to Qiao Ling'er's words, and I didn't take this sentence to heart, just thought it was her casual joke, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and continued to chat about the interesting things around them.
The sunset finally set, the lights have been lit, the night is looking forward to the light courtyard is more poetic scene, the big yellow dog Jin Meng also came from afar at this time, and came to the small pavilion in an instant.
Turning her eyes, Qiao Ling'er's eyes suddenly became cold, and she looked at the door of the pavilion in an instant, and returned to the same as before in an instant, with a faint smile like a spring breeze floating on the surface, which made people look very affectionate.
Jin Meng also seemed to feel something, and nodded his head, and then quietly came to my feet and lay down without communicating with me, probably because people were afraid of intimidating everyone, so it would be like this.
In this way, everyone continued to chat, and Hao Rengui had already finished chanting the scriptures, quietly looking at the scenery in the garden leisurely, as if everyone really didn't exist.
"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”
A big night owl flew across the night sky and screamed southward, and the sound was full of these sounds like a baby's cry!
"The dead bird scared the master!" Yue Shan glanced up at the owl that flew away, and cursed.
"Bad things will come when wild birds sing!" Hao Rengui said something in a daze, which made people feel very palpitations when they heard it.
"I'm a little scared!"
Keke suddenly pulled my arm and leaned over, looking at Hao Rengui in horror and suspecting that he was nervous again, I was also a little worried about whether this thing was making an old mistake again, Yue Shan also stood up in shock, looking at Hao Rengui as if he was ready to go up at any time to slap Hao Rengui.
Hao Rengui suddenly turned his head and looked at Yue Shan with a vigilant expression, and asked suspiciously, "What do you think I'm doing?" Do you still want to sneak up on me? ”
Hearing Hao Rengui ask such a question, it proved that he was sober, and his hanging heart suddenly calmed down, and Keke also recovered his original look in an instant.
The others didn't even notice the brief change in expression, and still maintained the original form in which nothing happened.
Yue Shan, who looked nervous, suddenly showed a smiling face, "Haha!" What are you talking about? I can beat my brother in front of so many people, don't you wrong me. Yue Shan turned his head to look at me with a cheap smile on his face, "Yunxiang, did you say that I didn't want to do it?" ”
"Hehe, I didn't do anything to you, I just didn't have a chance!" I don't want to favor either of them, I'd better let them figure it out on their own.
"You..."
"I, what am I? Don't leave me in the water for your own business, I don't want to be an accomplice. ”
"Fat is the worst, don't you want us to help you?" Keke also echoed the statement.
Yue Shan had no choice but to stop talking, but the gossip voice sounded again,
The frolicking little gazebo finally appeared to laugh.
This gazebo is not the gazebo of the dead man yesterday, but another gazebo only a few dozen meters away from it.
No one will go to the place where the dead have just died.
In the small talk, I talked about the strange things of wild birds, these people are also bold, they have nothing to tell ghost stories this night, and it was Qiao Ling'er who provoked the words......
At this time, the owl flying south, as soon as it retracted its wide wings, "woo" after a fan, landed on the crown of a locust tree on the side of the road, a pair of yellow rubber pupils flashed into the distance, "woo" called twice, as if cheering, warning and hinting.
On the deserted road at night, a team of walking corpses with black eyes and holes are driven forward. It seems that there is no way to drive away corpses, but it is roughly tied up and dragged away, this is the demon immortal master and the mountain bandit and others.
The direction they were traveling in was Jingou Town, and it seemed that they didn't have bad intentions, otherwise they wouldn't have driven this group of monsters forward.
The walking corpse is the lowest bloodthirsty monster after the corpse mutation, and the zombie is not the same, almost only instinctive bloodthirsty, and the body is as weak as ordinary people, but it is unconscious, if the fierce person can also use a machete to cut off the head and kill it.
But their toughest thing is that as long as their heads don't fall off, they will still hunt for food!
The eldest brother of the mountain bandit asked cautiously at this time: "Master, what are we going to do with these monsters?" ”
"Of course, it's for, I'm going to Li's house, settling accounts, and getting back what I want."
"Reckoning?"
"That's right, settle the account, at first I instigated you just to catch those two babies, because the boy is very unusual, I can't come forward, I can only borrow your hands to do it, but now I have changed my mind. Not only do you have to catch that baby, but you also have to complete another thing, and with these immortal monsters, you can soon open the door to the ghost domain. The Demon Dao Immortal Master said proudly.
"Ghost Domain? Is it the underworld? The mountain bandit brother asked in astonishment.
"No, the underworld is a place where the reincarnation of the dead soul washes away sins, and the ghost domain is a paradise for people like you and me."
"Promised Land?" The mountain bandit brother subconsciously asked.
"Yes, it is a paradise, the ghost domain is infinite, everywhere, and 'Jingou Town' is a link connecting the ghost domain. There may also be an abandoned barracks, but the barracks seem to be very unusual. It is the land of extreme yin, otherwise let these dead become walking corpses, and there is also a complete formation seal and a guardian spirit general, which may prevent someone from dying in it and becoming a walking corpse and escaping. ”
"Then why didn't Zhao Er and Feng San get any stop when they carried people out?"
"This, I don't know very well, the dead corpse at that time has not yet changed, maybe the guardian stone statue didn't notice it, and it may be that the popularity of Zhao Er and Feng San covered part of the dead air." As he spoke, the Demon Dao Immortal Master suddenly stopped talking and looked at the big brother of the mountain bandits, and asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do with these questions?" And when he went to examine the corpse this morning, his face was scratched beyond recognition? ”
"The disciple just asked curiously, and the corpse yesterday was scratched when it was dragged, and some of it was the original scars." The big brother of the mountain bandit said without changing his face.
People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the demon immortal master is not a good type in the first place, so he is even more suspicious.
Just this morning, in order to prevent accidents, the demon road went to check on the person who was killed by the mountain bandits yesterday, and he found that the deceased was unrecognizable, and he felt a little strange at that time.
"Oh, let's not talk about it yet, hurry up." Seeing that the mountain bandits had no language, the demon immortal master did not continue to ask questions.
The road was very silent, 'whew' a wing, the owl that landed on the big locust tree saw that a group of walking corpses had approached, so it flew up without stopping, and flew back to the north with a strange cry of 'woo' twice.
Owls are said to be very evil in both the south and the north, and it is often said that night owls come to the house for nothing, but in fact, night owls are not a symbol of evil, on the contrary, they can also give people a warning.
A catastrophe is quietly approaching, but is it true that no one in the pleasure of the ten thousand families knows about it?
Not necessarily, a few horse-drawn carriages on the crooked mountain road are driving at night. There were three people sitting in the carriage at the head, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe with a solemn face, an old man in tattered clothes also looked stiff and looked very serious, and a man with a head wrapped in gauze could not see his face clearly, but the panicked look in his eyes told him the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.
There were three people in the car, namely Lin Yufeng and his senior brother Lu Tiejiao, and the one wrapped in gauze was the person who cheated to death, that is, the person who was shot and killed by the mountain bandits, and the person who was checked by the Demon Dao Immortal Master was a newly deceased villager who was replaced by a tanuki for a prince.
The big brother of the mountain bandits also took great risks when they carried out this matter, but fortunately, the person who cheated the death knew that there was a new dead person in this tunzi, so these people discussed it and began to plan, and the shot was only loaded with gunpowder and not with projectiles, but the first few hits were the real hit. If the demon path had been checked at the beginning and not until the early morning, those people would have died.
