Chapter Eighty-Five: Prepare to Face
After watching the excitement for a while, Tang Shengxian went back, well, back to Qingyunguan, what kind of prison is Tang Shengxian didn't want to do it, where was he when he saw the ghost of the old man looking at his children and grandchildren crying. Tang Shengxian didn't bother him, so he pretended not to see it.
No one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, to be honest, Tang Shengxian worked so hard to escape this catastrophe, he didn't want to become a handful of loess, or a box of ashes, he wanted to live longer, since this opportunity hit him, he would cherish it.
The old Taoist priest's ritual will take two days before the funeral, and as for whether the old Taoist priest wants to get Tang Shengxian's share of the money, it is not Tang Shengxian's business.
Tang Shengxian continued to practice him, but the old Taoist priest didn't come back three days later, I don't know what the situation was, it stands to reason that the deceased person of the family should have been buried for a day, why hasn't it been done yet, could it be a corpse, impossible, Tang Shengxian was the first to rule out this option, the yin soul is out of the body, how can the corpse change.
Just when he couldn't figure it out, two catchers knocked on the door of the Taoist temple. The little Taoist priest led these two catchers to Tang Shengxian.
"I don't know what the two of you have to do." Tang Shengxian first asked him for his intentions, if it was an old Taoist, he would definitely add an "official" to this sentence, Tang Shengxian naturally knew that it was best to be polite when dealing with law enforcement officers, but he was this temper.
"I don't know if Xuan Yichang is free, something happened in the church, it happened that Lin Daochang was nearby, we asked him to investigate, but when we got there, Lin Daochang said that he couldn't do it, and he recommended you to us."
"Even~~, I don't know how many people have died now?"
The two of them were startled when they heard it, they hadn't said their lives yet, this Xuanyi had already known it, it seemed that he was really a master. "Don't hide it, the chief said that eight people have died so far, and because the scene is too terrifying, the news has leaked. The entire Longmen County almost knew about it, and now the whole county is panicking. ”
"Then let's go now." Although he is not ashamed of the old Taoist priest's behavior of pushing responsibility on himself, there must be a monster, in this case, Tang Shengxian is also obliged.
With the small cloth bag he often carries, and the peachwood sword is inserted, Tang Shengxian set off with the two of them.
But Tang Shengxian was dumbfounded when he came to the door, eh, there were three horses in front of the door, this Tang Shengxian really hadn't played.
"Well, Poor Road doesn't know how to ride a horse yet, so you can go first. I'll be there then. ”
"Dao Chief, do you need us to ride a horse, time is pressing!" Already on the horse, one of the catchers was a little anxious. If they can't bring Tang Shengxian back, they will be derelict in their duties!
"What are you afraid of, believe it or not, I can walk faster than you can ride a horse."
The catcher wanted to say something, but the other catcher stopped him, "In that case, we will greet the Taoist chief at the church." With that, he took his colleague and left.
Tang Shengxian also saw what he meant, and this catcher also wanted to test whether Tang Shengxian had the ability, and if he couldn't get there, he would tell the county order that this was a charlatan.
But who is Tang Shengxian, he can't play a catcher? Joke.
The horses that the two of them rode were not good horses, they were the most ordinary, the highest speed was forty yards per hour, and they had to rest for a while if they ran for a while, but Tang Shengxian was different. Seeing the two of them leaving, Tang Shengxian was also ready to go.
With a wave of his hand, a familiar off-road motorcycle appeared in front of him, Tang Shengxian was going to ride a motorcycle today, but he also silently wrote down in his heart that he wanted to learn to ride a horse, and there should be such a situation in the future, so he couldn't ride a motorcycle every time.
There are many ways to get to the church, looking at the direction the two of them left should be the nearest one, with the help of the map, Tang Shengxian is still very familiar with this route within a radius of 100 miles.
He deliberately walked a slightly farther away, but the road conditions and concealment were better, wait and see. It takes them at least half an hour to ride a horse for thirty miles, but Tang Shengxian plus the long way around, a quarter of an hour is enough.
Yes, Tang Shengxian was already standing at the door of the church waiting, and at this moment, there were two officials guarding the door of the church, and there was no onlooker, I am afraid that he was frightened by the dead people!
When the two of them arrived at the church, they saw the figure in Taoist clothes for the first time, and both of them rubbed their eyes in disbelief, only then did they confirm that they were not dazzled.
"The Tao is long and profound, and I deeply admire it." The two who got off the horse said respectfully to Tang Shengxian.
"Where, where, carving insect skills, not enough teeth, let's hurry in."
"Inside, please."
Tang Shengxian came to the inside of the church, the two of them just told him that the time of the dead was related to the church, I don't know what it has to do with it, there are many opponents of the heavenly forces represented by the church.
When I went to the inside of the church, I found eight stretchers, covered with white cloth, and it seemed that the bodies were underneath. Tang Shengxian stepped forward, lifted the corpse cloth, and revealed a dried corpse, which was very unnatural. Because the corpse is very fresh, it seems to be sucked dry all at once, yes, that's the word, there are zombies and vampires that suck people's blood, but I'm afraid only vampires can suck people into "dry".
And it's also a church. But how can there be vampires in China, this is a question.
"Dao Chief, let's tell you the details of the past few days."
"Okay, let's talk about it."
"This matter has to start with the theft of the church before, under the repeated care of the county order, we also found a little clue, we think that the thieves this time are very likely to be two habitual thieves in Monkey Town, Li Si and Lai Fu."
"When we sent people to his house to investigate, the two officials never returned, and when we sent people again, we found six dried corpses, two of which were Li Si and Lai Fu, and four of which were our colleagues. There's a bag in their house that was all stolen from the church, but it's a weird thing that we can't solve. ”
"The next day, it was discovered that two dried corpses appeared in a family three miles away from Li Si's house, and we quickly invited Lin Daochang, and you know what happened next." The two of them saw Tang Shengxian's ability just now, and now they are pinning their hopes on him. They looked at Tang Shengxian with blank eyes.
Ordinary people are really powerless about these strange things, Tang Shengxian frowned, after listening to the detailed descriptions of the two, he could be sure that this cliff was done by vampires. It seems that someone will die tonight, but he has to fight with this vampire, but I don't know if this technique will be effective for this dark creature in the West, and the film and television works can't be fully believed, so you have to prepare with both hands.
This church doesn't even have a plate for holy water, and it seems that the holy water can't be counted on, but there are other means.
"This matter, Poor Dao took it, and I will fight with that beast tonight, either I will die or its soul will be scattered."
"Then in the next place for the people of Longmen County, thank the aisle chief first, I don't know what items to prepare, and the yamen will definitely support it."
"Speaking of what I need, I need a lot of garlic, the best kind of string with rope, first twenty strings, and then find a goldsmith to make two sterling silver daggers out, it is very useful, so much for the time being."
"No problem, we'll get these things done in an hour." Although Taoist priests generally ask for glutinous rice and cinnabar or something, it is better to listen to his arrangement.
In the next time, Tang Shengxian also met with the five nuns in the church, some of them were good-looking, some were not good-looking, but they had nothing to do with Tang Shengxian, Tang Shengxian felt that there should be a deep relationship between this vampire and this church, maybe the vampire would come over tonight.
It was still a long time before nightfall, and Tang Shengxian thought about it and decided to investigate the church to see what he could find out about it.
When he walked to the kitchen, he found some different places, because the dark room in modern film and television works, the dark channel culture is very deep, and it has also cultivated Tang Shengxian's exploration ability, and sure enough, he found the entrance to the cellar, lifted the cover, and the entrance was exposed.
Tang Shengxian asked the nun Mingxiu who was following behind, she didn't know that there was such a cellar in the church, and when the torches were ready, Tang Shengxian was going to go down and have a look.
"Do you want to come down together?" Tang Shengxian said to the nun and the catcher who introduced himself as Zhao.
Zhao Zhu agreed immediately, and Mingxiu also agreed after thinking about it.
Holding the torch Tang Shengxian and his party came to the cellar, there was a layer of dust on the ground, looking at the two strings of fresh footprints Tang Shengxian knew that the two thieves had been here, and there was no other hidden place in the church, the vampire might have gone out from here, and he had already guessed the truth of the matter.
Continuing to walk forward, I saw the open secret door, Li Si and Lai Fu left in a hurry, the door of the dark room was not closed, but it saved Tang Shengxian a lot of effort.
The dark room was in shambles, Tang Shengxian saw the rotten garlic all over the ground and the dried corpse in the priest's uniform, it seems that the last clue connected the whole thing, the vampire and the priest fight, the priest died, but the vampire was seriously injured and fell asleep, but the vampire's body was stolen by two thieves, and the rest of the matter was also clear.
Let Zhao Yu quickly collect the remains of the priest and carry them out, Tang Shengxian had a hunch that he had sucked the blood of at least eight people, this vampire's combat power should have recovered most of it, and it was possible that it would come over tonight to seek revenge.
In this case, Tang Shengxian doesn't have to go out, just wait for it to come to the door here.
Tang Shengxian smiled, vampire, it's the first time I've encountered it! What's the difference with zombies? I'm going to take a good look at it, maybe I can get a piece of meat and study it well, at least vampires aren't copper-skinned.
