Long Yi smiled: "Don't be afraid. It is not an exaggeration for those who do not know, you have now become the master and servant, and what you have said in the past is forgotten. But one thing I don't understand, although you were hallucinated by the purple mandala and died, it was a previous life. Now that you're a ghost, how can you still be affected by it? ”

Ah Mei made another body movement.

Ryuichi: "Are you saying that you don't know the reason, as soon as you smell the fragrance of the purple mandala, you are confused, you can't control yourself, and your body is completely floating in an unconscious state?" ”

Mei nodded.

Long Yi turned his head to the three people who were staring intently and said, "It seems that the mandala has left a deep imprint on its soul, and even if it becomes a ghost, it can't get rid of the influence. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "So, there are purple mandala flowers in the branch compound!" ”

Ryuichi: "There must be, or it wouldn't have reacted so strongly." ”

Qi Xiaoting asked Ah Mei again: "Your body language just now said that the 'Soul Resurrection Star' is the nemesis of the Purple Mandala, and if you take it, you will not be affected by the Purple Mandala." If you are also given the 'Resurrection Star', won't you be afraid of this flower? ”

Ah Mei looked at Long Yi with a blank expression, and then looked at Qi Xiaoting.

Long Yi smiled at Qi Xiaoting: "It's a ghost, how do you give it a dose!" Besides, this is the thing that kills it, and it has been fixed on its ghost, and it can't be changed! ”

Qi Xiaoting smiled bitterly and returned to the topic: "If the purple mandala is a Chinese medicinal herb, it doesn't mean anything if it is in his hospital!"

"Everyone in the village knows about the fact that he grows Chinese medicinal herbs. He used the Chinese herbs he grew to treat people's diseases. He said the same thing when I got my medicine in the morning. ”

Long Yi: "Ah Mei can't get in, so you can only go inside to check it out in person." See if there are any clues. I suspect that these missing people may have something to do with the doctor's medicine.

Moreover, the fragrance of the mandala flowers he planted wafted far away and could be smelled in the woods. If you can confuse the ghost, can't you confuse a human who has taken a mandala flower? ”

Qi Xiaoting's eyes lit up: Yes! According to the reaction, three of the six missing people had been sick and had eaten Zhi Fulu's Chinese herbs, and one was rumored to have had an affair with Zhi Fulu. Now, it seems, this was by no means accidental.

"So, we have to be there to see." Qi Xiaoting looked at Li Hong and said.

"No problem. Xiaoting, whatever you say, I will absolutely cooperate! Li Hong replied very cheerfully.

Qi Xiaoting: "Jiaona, you can go out tonight!" None of us are at the residence, in case there is a situation in Gu Jinming, you can deal with it. ”

Jiao Na nodded unhappily: "Okay then! Aunt Quasi-Nine said it, I have to obey no matter how unwilling I am! ”

Qi Xiaoting smiled secretly, put away Ah Mei, and took the two out of the space.

There was no entertainment in the mountain village, and it was icy and snowy, although it was only eight o'clock, and the village was already very quiet.

Qi Xiaoting released Ah Mei and let it fly in Gu Jinming and their residence. In this way, as long as there is a situation, Long Yi in the space will see it, and then transmit the sound to Qi Xiaoting or Jiao Na outside. If there is any situation, it will be dealt with at any time.

Qi Xiaoting and Li Hong both put on tight-fitting cotton clothes, sloppy hats, and pasted a magic talisman on their legs.

"Hey, this outfit really looks like a nightcrawler!" Jiaona looked at the two and teased.

Qi Xiaoting smiled: "Sensei said bad words, show me the homes on both sides!" After speaking, he grabbed Li Hong's hand and quickly ran towards the Zhijia compound.

Although Li Hong is a bloody man for hundreds of years, he can only protect himself and provide blood to zombies. Now that he has returned to a mortal, he can't activate the Divine Talisman at all. If you want to go fast, you can only take Qi Xiaoting with him.

The two soon came to the outside of the walls of the Zhijia compound.

In the compound, there was a frantic barking of dogs and the miserable howl of a man.

Qi Xiaoting: "There is a situation! ”

"How do we get in?" Li Hong looked at the high wall: "It's too conspicuous to go up!" ”

The courtyard wall of the compound is indeed very high, more than two meters in size. And bare, as soon as you go up, you will be found by the people inside.

didn't know the situation inside, Qi Xiaoting didn't dare to rush to the wall. And when he went round the wall, he saw a large tree in one of the walls. At this time, the moon was in the west, casting the shadows of the trees on the wall.

"You wait outside, I'll go up alone, the target is still small." Qi Xiaoting said to Li Hong, let go of the hand holding Li Hong, and jumped up the wall.

Inside is a small courtyard in the middle of two rows of houses, where dogs and people are not here.

The courtyard was quiet, there was no light in the house, and there was no one in the courtyard.

Qi Xiaoting jumped into the courtyard and ran in the direction of the sound along the dark shadow in the south room.

Turning around the house to the south, Qi Xiaoting saw an astonishing scene: a black-backed dog like a calf was biting a man in black lying on the ground. The man in black rolled and struggled, dodging the black dog's attack. Apparently there is no way to get up.

Qi Xiaoting saw that she was going to die, and she couldn't care much about it, so she rushed to her with an arrow, kicked the black dog a few meters away, picked up the man and ran up the wall and escaped.

The whole process took a few breaths.

"Let's go!"

Qi Xiaoting picked up Li Hong, who had not yet reacted, and in an instant, he disappeared in the woods to the east of the compound.

The man was still bleeding, so Qi Xiaoting put him on the ground and hurried to rescue him.

"What are you for?" Li Hong asked.

Qi Xiaoting: "I don't know. Save people first. You show me the back, don't let the chasing people approach. ”

Qi Xiaoting sacrificed the night pearl and examined the man's wound.

The bite was severe: half of his face was so bloody that he couldn't see it. There was a big hole in his neck, and it was "gurgling" and bleeding out.

The upper and lower clothes were torn, and there were bites of varying degrees on the arms, legs, and chest, revealing bright red flesh.

On the way to look at it again, blood drops after drops, telling everything to the people behind me.

Qi Xiaoting hurriedly fed him a gourd with ambergris herbal water, and wiped it all over the wound.

Seeing that there was no movement behind her, Qi Xiaoting hurriedly flashed into the space again, took out a piece of oilcloth and picked up the man, then picked it up, let Li Hong drag her clothes, and quickly returned to the residence.

Fortunately, there was no blood on the ground due to the oilcloth wrapping.

Jiao Na hadn't fallen asleep yet, when she saw the two of them hugging a bloody man, she pursed her lips, rolled her eyes and said, "I knew that you wouldn't be able to meet anything good when you went out." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Jiaona, don't say that. I'll send you into the space, and you go find two peasant's clothes to change for him. ”

Jiaona asked, "Are you not going out?" ”

Li Hong: "I can't go anymore, this time, Zhi Fulu must be on guard." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "The yard is big, and the dogs are scattered again, and there is no way to find out." ”

Jiao Na was overjoyed: "Aunt Quasi-Jiu, let's just enter the space together." If you take out the clothes, I won't come out. The soil here is too hard, and the temperature is not as high as in the space, so I really can't get used to it! ”

Qi Xiaoting smiled and said helplessly: "Jiaona, I see that you are living outside tonight, I don't know what is going on, one more person will also have one more helper!" ”

Jiaona's eyes turned white: "If you have something to do, you won't have to go to the space to call me!" I don't bother to mind your mortal affairs. ”

Qi Xiaoting had no choice but to send her into the space, and when she came back, she had an extra peasant costume on her hand.

After this toss, the man was already unconscious. Li Hong wiped the blood stains off his body and changed into the peasant clothes that Qi Xiaoting took out. Qi Xiaoting rubbed ambergris herbal water on his wound again before pinching him to wake him up.

After feeding another hand of the gourd potion, the man's mind was already clear, and Qi Xiaoting asked about his situation.

The man knew he would not escape the black dog's mouth tonight. Now alive here, it was these two people who saved themselves. Tears welled up in my eyes. For Qi Xiaoting's questions, do everything you know, and answer all questions.

The three of them talked to each other for more than half an hour, and Qi Xiaoting finally understood the matter clearly.

It turned out that this person's surname was Pei, his name was Zhanqiu, and he was twenty-one years old this year. It is a native of Peijia Village, which is more than ten miles away from the Zhijia compound.

Pei Zhanqiu got married a year ago, and his wife Gu Hong'e is eighteen years old this year, dignified and virtuous, and beautiful, and she is a good daughter-in-law who is a good daughter-in-law.

Three months ago, Gu Hong'e suddenly got a strange disease: she was emaciated day by day, she had no strength, and she was flustered and short of breath when she did a little work. I heard that the doctor here had high medical skills, so I ran to him.

After coming twice and eating a few Chinese herbal medicines, Gu Hong'e's illness has improved greatly, her face has become ruddy, she works in the fields and does housework, and she no longer shouts tired.

However, when the body was better, something went wrong with the spirit: as soon as I fell asleep, I dreamed.

Sometimes I wake up from a dream and sweat profusely. When she was asked, she said she had a nightmare and that someone was going to kill her.

Sometimes he laughs out loud. "Doctor Zhi" and "Doctor Zhi" kept shouting. When she woke her up, she only said that she was dreaming, but not the content of the dream.

Pei Zhanqiu said: 'Aren't you fancy someone else's doctor? She didn't admit it, and the two of them quarreled, saying that Pei Zhanqiu had wronged her.

Once there was a lot of noise, Pei Zhanqiu hit her. And she went away. Never came back.

"Actually, I love her very much, and quarrels are just idle teeth." Pei Zhanqiu said: "I don't believe that my daughter-in-law is that kind of person, let alone believe that there is anything wrong with them.

"You think, I came to see the sick twice, and I didn't say a few words, and every time the two of us came together, I said the words, how could they have feelings!"

When Pei Zhanqiu said this, he regretted that he only wanted to slap his mouth. Qi Xiaoting hurriedly grabbed his hand and comforted: "Since the matter has happened, you tell it all, and we will look for it together." ”

Pei Zhanqiu sighed a few times, and then continued:

After his wife left, Pei Zhanqiu searched everywhere, relatives and friends, and there was no one to be seen. The mother's side did not follow, and every day she came to force someone, and threatened to sue the government.

While he was anxious, he had another ominous nightmare the night before.
