Chapter Twenty-Three: A Mysterious Death
"It's me who underestimated you!" Wang Bo said with a gloomy face.
"You're strong!" Tianyou replied coldly.
Wang Bo clasped his hands into fists and said hatefully: "In the future, I will fight again, and I will not accompany you!" ”
For Wang Bo's departure, Tianyou and the others were very puzzled, obviously Wang Bo was now in the upper hand in the fight, why did he leave suddenly?
Tianyou didn't dare to delay, and hurried away, Nalan Bingruo asked suspiciously: "Why did you leave in such a hurry?" ”
"Why don't you go and wait for death?" Xiao Hei said helplessly.
"Bingruo, I'll tell you the truth." Tianyou said softly.
After Tianyou told the story in detail, Nalan Bingruo's face was a little better, and he sighed and said: "Hey, grandpa must have his reason for doing this, Tianyou, you must work hard, don't let down grandpa's hard work!" ”
"Don't worry, Bingruo!" Tianyou looked at Nalan Bingruo affectionately and said.
"You two don't fall in love, hurry up, those old guys aren't vegetarians! Sooner or later, you'll figure it out! Xiao Hei reminded, and after speaking, there was a dry cough, and a black ruler flew out of his mouth and fell into Tianyou's hand.
It turned out that on the way back from the top of the mountain, Tianyou and Xiao Hei had already discussed the countermeasures, in order to prevent being discovered, Xiao Hei swallowed the measuring ruler into his stomach, although the things of the ghost road are precious, but it is not enough to let those old guys tear their faces and rob them, but this measuring ruler is different, it is the ancestral master's personal magic weapon, the power and significance are very important, they do not dare to delay too much in the valley, afraid that it will change later, in case people know about the Danzhu, they will definitely open the Dantian of Tianyou and take out the Danzhu.
That's why I left the Ghost Valley in a hurry.
On this day, Tianyou and Nalan Bingruo walked into a town, and the two of them had already changed into coarse linen clothes at this time, otherwise it would be too dazzling, but they now feel that something is wrong with the town. It's a big town, and the streets are empty, and although the sun is setting now, it's still a while before it gets late at night, so it's a good time to enjoy the breeze, so it's very strange.
"God bless, there is a yin and evil spirit in this town, could it be that there are demons and evil spirits?" Nalan Bingruo asked.
Tianyou nodded and said, "It's possible, let's find an inn and inquire." ”
But Tianyou found that even the inns were closed to thank customers, there was no way, and they couldn't stay on the streets, so they found an inn called 'Yuelai', Tianyou stepped forward to knock on the door, and the voice of the store came from inside: "I'm sorry, objective, we're closed!" ”
"It's still early, why close? Is it full? Tianyou asked.
"It's not full, the town has been more evil recently, so close as soon as possible, you might as well check out the other inns!" The shopkeeper inside said apologetically.
Nalan Bingruo continued Tianyou's words and said: "Shop, it's getting late at this time, and other inns are also closed, it's not easy for us to go out, and I hope the store can take in one night, otherwise we will have to sleep in the open, help!" ”
"Okay, objective, wait a minute!" The shopkeeper opened the door panel as he spoke, and after Tianyou and Nalan Bingruo came in, they quickly closed it again.
"Laifu, quickly pour tea for the two guest officers! What would you like to eat? An old shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Tianyou said politely: "Let's have two bowls of noodles." ”
"Okay! Two bowls of noodles! The shopkeeper called Laifu shouted happily.
"Old shopkeeper, what is our town called? You say that this is evil, can you tell us about it? Nalan Bingruo asked with a smile.
The old shopkeeper coughed lightly and said: "We are called Ping'an Town here, don't mention the evil things, if you have something, hurry up, and leave early tomorrow morning if you have nothing to do, now the town is not peaceful!" ”
"Let's talk about it, it's okay, I'm waiting to explore the rivers and lakes, and I'm more curious about these things." Nalan Bingruo said again.
After hearing this, the old shopkeeper hurriedly put his ear to the door, and found that there was no movement, so he opened his mouth to tell what had happened.
It turned out that just half a month ago, the town's watchman died tragically on the street, with a frightened expression, his eyes and mouth were open, and there were no scars on his body. Since then, there have been rumors that the husband was scared to death by a terrible ghost.
But it didn't end there, since then, every day or two people will be found dead on the street, and what is frightening is that their deaths are strikingly similar, it seems that they are all overfrightened and died, because they all happened in the middle of the night, and no one saw it, so it was rumored that it was a ghost who was haunted.
Hearing the old shopkeeper's story, Tianyou asked suspiciously: "Didn't the town find a monk or a high road to solve the disaster?" ”
"That's why it's said that it's an evil thing, I found several Taoist priests and great monks before and after, and the result was that they were all scared and urinated, and even took their lives. Now the people in the town are panicked, so they don't dare to go out as soon as the sun sets! The old shopkeeper said with trepidation.
"And that's not all! The family in Ximen in the town was all killed by ghosts, and none of the four members of the family survived, not even a three-year-old child! At this time, the shopkeeper Laifu happened to bring two bowls of noodles and said.
Nalan Bingruo frowned and asked, "Didn't you alarm the government?" ”
"I'm shocked, but now the court is corrupt, and there are corrupt officials everywhere, how can there be practical things for the common people? As soon as they heard about the evil things, they turned a blind eye and did nothing at all. Laifu said indignantly.
"Blessing! What are you talking about? If you let the people of the yamen hear it, you will have to peel off the skin if you don't say anything! The old shopkeeper reprimanded, and Laifu hurriedly shut up when he heard it.
Nalan Bingruo nodded and said, "We walk the rivers and lakes and don't talk nonsense, then let's eat noodles and open a first-class room for us." ”
"Okay!" The old shopkeeper replied cheerfully.
Just as the two of them were about to go upstairs, the shopkeeper Lai Fu stared at the crow on Tianyou's shoulder and asked curiously: "Guest officer, the crow on your shoulder is your plaything?" ”
"Not bad." Tianyou nodded and replied.
"You must be someone who has the ability!" Rifle said with a thumbs up.
Nalan Bingruo smiled and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”
"Crows are hoodoos, how dare ordinary people find crows as pets, it's too late to hide! The fact that the guest officer can tame the crow shows that the guest officer is by no means extraordinary! Rifle explained.
Tianyou and Nalan Bingruo smiled and walked into the booked room.
Tianyou saw that there was no one at the door, so he asked Nalan Bingruo: "What do you think about this matter?" ”
"It can't be a ghost who is wronged and asks for his life, there is a debtor and a master, how can he kill people indiscriminately, even if it is a ghost and a ghost, he will never dare to make trouble in the town!" Nalan Bingruo analyzed.
"Oops, it's suffocating me! It's so uncomfortable not to let me talk along the way! It doesn't matter what kind of spirit it is, God blocks and kills God and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, in short, it will be over if the people are eliminated and destroyed! Little Black said with his wings fluttering and chirping.
