Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Devil's Way
Mother-in-law's crutches!
"Wait!"
When my words came out, the white-robed monk had already walked out of the gate of the Afterlife Pavilion and disappeared into the green mist on the street.
I wanted to chase it out, but I remembered Zhao Shouquan's entrustment when I was leaving: No matter what happens, don't leave the Afterlife Pavilion at night, otherwise no one will care about life and death.
I stopped, leaned on the faucet crutches in the cloth bag carried by the reverberating monk at the counter, and pondered for a long time, I was not mistaken, it was my mother-in-law's crutches!
Zhao Shouquan said that his mother-in-law was killed, could it be that the murderer was the monk? But he doesn't look like a wicked person, he is full of righteousness, more polite than Liu Daxian, Chen Jihe and others I have seen, and the sun is shining.
Could it be that he took it from someone else?
I pondered all night with countless questions, and received four or five strange guests during this time, but the crutches made my fear less intense, and I carefully arranged them until the green fog disappeared in the morning.
After a night of hard work, I checked my membership card and counted the goods, then I closed the door to the Shoshokaku and walked to the next street to hail a taxi back to the villa.
Zhao Shouquan gave me a pair of door cards and keys, and when I entered the door, I found that there was no one, it is estimated that Zhao Shouquan and Chen Jihe were still sleeping, and I also went back to my room and fell asleep.
In my dream, I saw my mother-in-law when she died, shaking her body desperately to speak, but she couldn't spit out a word. The more he wanted to talk, the more anxious he became, and the last fierce man sat up from the bed, wiped off the sweat on his head, and got dressed and went downstairs.
There was still no one in the living room, and I saw the clock on the wall, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
I eagerly wanted to tell Zhao Shouquan about last night's incident, and took out my mobile phone to call him, but the other side did not answer for a long time, I complained and walked downstairs to find food on the table.
After gobbling it up, I communicated with Yin Yaoyao in my mind and decided to go out and exchange the gold bars given by the fat big brother last night for money.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I got out of the villa area, I saw a police car parked at the door, and from a distance, a man and a woman were pushing and shoving with the security guards, it was Sister Xiaorou and the tiger.
I hurriedly stepped forward, and Sister Xiaorou saw me and hurriedly pulled away the tiger and shouted to me, "Xu Sanhuo, come here." ”
I walked to the police car with my travel bag on my back, and the tiger said angrily to the security guard: "I'm a policeman, what is your attitude?" ”
"The police are amazing! Our people here are either rich or noble, and you want to go in unless you have permission to do so. The security guard had an arrogant expression.
I was puzzled and leaned over to Sister Xiaorou, and a faint aroma poured into my nostrils, "Sister Xiaorou, what's going on?" ”
"The tiger and I had something to do with Zhao Shouquan, but the phone couldn't get through, and I wanted to come to his house to have a look, but I was stopped by the security guard." Sister Xiaorou said bitterly, and her willow eyebrows couldn't help but tease my heart.
"He's not at home, if there's anything you can tell me, I'll pass it on to him."
Sister Xiaorou looked at me suspiciously, snorted and laughed, stretched out her soft hand and pinched my face, "Yo, isn't it the shy little boy in the village?" Aren't you afraid of your sister? ”
My face suddenly became hot, "Sister Xiaorou, someone is watching." ”
"Huh... Is it possible to let my sister touch it when there is no one? ”
I dodged her hand, my heart jumped faster, and I muttered, "Sister Xiaorou, tell me something, I'm not a child anymore." ”
"Uh-huh." Sister Xiaorou put her arms around my shoulders, "Sanhuo is a big child, so let me tell you, the girl we picked up from Zhao Baifu's house last time, she is missing." ”
"Kerr?" I was shocked when I heard this, and I was completely shy, "What's wrong with her?" Where did you go missing? ”
"Didn't I send her to the hospital last time, but I received a call from the hospital at noon today, saying that an old man took her away last night, and we rushed to the hospital to get surveillance, and found that the old man disappeared after taking her out of the hospital, and there was no sign of them on the nearby streets."
"What kind of old man?"
"It's just an ordinary old man, dirty."
Sister Xiaorou's words made me anxious, Zhao Baifu's body has long since died, and the skeleton is raising Ke'er in order to reshape his body, the purpose is very clear, is it Ke'er's other relatives? After thinking about it, Liu Fen's ghost said that they moved their family to Mushi, and there could be no other relatives here, so who was the one who picked up Ke'er? What is the purpose?
"Sister Xiaorou, you find a way to contact Zhao Shouquan, I still have some problems."
After saying that, I turned around and ran back to the villa area, Sister Xiaorou and Tiger wanted to follow but were stopped by the security guards, and the two had no choice but to leave the villa area.
I went home, sat on the sofa, opened my travel bag, took out the Rakshasa Array, and quickly threw my consciousness into it, it didn't matter, the scene in the Rakshasa Array startled me a lot. The Rakshasa formation, which was once full of nothingness, became yellow sand all over the field at this time, the five-pole banner stood in the wind, countless ghosts and monsters stood in the sand with armor in their hands, and the skeleton spirit Wu Liang sat on the top of a low mountain, and the other four flag masters stood behind him, looking at the ghost soldiers below.
My consciousness drifted to Wu Liang's side, and the five of them were startled when they saw me, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "Master."
I waved my hand to signal them to get up, looked at the dense ghost soldiers below, and exclaimed: "It is worthy of being a famous general in history, and it has only been a few days since I trained those outcast ghosts into this appearance, which is amazing!" ”
Wu Liang got up and said respectfully: "Now there is only form and unintentional, and it will take some time to become a real army." Fortunately, these ghosts are all strong, and they are easy to train. ”
"Hmm... Just let me know if you need anything. I looked at the ghost soldiers below and said, "With such an army formed by demons and ghosts, with the Rakshasa formation, even if I encounter the corpse king, I dare to fight." ”
Wu Liang saw that I was happy, and said proudly: "If you can give me another year, I guarantee that the master has more than just an army." ”
"Oh? What else? ”
"Master, have you heard of the Evil Lord?"
I pondered slightly, this word was really mentioned in the "Yin Master Codex", but it was not introduced much, and it seemed to be a hegemon.
"I've heard of it." I say.
Wu Liang said: "Most of the ghosts in the underworld are controlled by the Ten Palaces of Yama, but there are still many ghosts that are extremely powerful in their lifetimes under the Ten Palaces of Yama, which they cannot control. As long as these ghosts can be trained into real ghost soldiers, the master can open up a territory in the underworld and become a new party master. ”
"So powerful?" I secretly admired, I didn't expect the ghost suppressed by the Peach Sword to be so useful.
"But...... These ghosts have all suffered heavy damage, the spirit body is not complete, if you want to repair and strengthen it, you still need spiritual power, if the master can throw a few living people in......"
"Shut up!"
I scolded: "I don't want to do this thing, but if you have spiritual power, I heard that there are many treasures in the Afterlife Pavilion, maybe you can get one." ”
Wu Liang saw that I was angry, and his proud appearance faded a little, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
I changed my words, "There's one more thing I want to ask you about this time." ”
I recounted Kerr's disappearance to Wu Liang, emphasizing that the person who took Kerr away was an old man dressed in tatters. After hearing this, the light blue flame in Wu Liang's eyes dimmed a little, as if he was thinking, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Master, I know who he is." ”
I didn't expect him to really know, so I hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
Wu Liang said: "I came to the Mushi many years ago after I happened to encounter a magic way, the magic is strong, my Taoist spell is taught by him, the magic road is called "Huolian Mountain", it is said that there is a big background, I have encountered danger many times in the Mushi City is he helped me get out of danger. Huolianshan practiced a secret method, relying on the body of devouring the girl to strengthen himself, Zhao Keer's spirit body is the best I have ever seen, I guess he should be tempted. ”
"Is this man awesome?"
"It should be very powerful, I haven't fought him, but I've always treated him like a senior."
"Damn, I'm afraid I'm going to have to fight for the top and low this time." I frowned and said, "Ke'er is very important to me, I can't let that old man succeed, Ke'er is too, how can I go with him?" ”
"Ecstasy, it's not difficult to practice." Wu Liang echoed.
I glanced at him, pulled away from the Rakshasa Formation, and found that the sky outside was already dark, could it be that time in the Rakshasa Formation was faster than in the real world?
I left the house with my travel bag on my back, and when I was leaving, I looked at the time, and it was already past five o'clock... It's almost time to go to work again, what can I do? There are less than three hours left, and there is obviously not enough time to find the location of the old man and rescue Ke'er, but you can't just ask for leave from work the next day.
I thought about it, flipped through my phone to find Chen Jihe's phone, and dialed it.
After the phone was connected, there was a mess on the other side, I asked what she was doing, Chen Jihe told me that she was eating in the county next door to Mushi, I thought to myself that I couldn't rely on her now, so I had to ask her to help borrow the information of the Immortal Pavilion to find the location of the Demon Dao Huolian Mountain.
Chen Jihe reluctantly agreed, and muttered a few words to me before hanging up the phone stupidly.
I left the villa area and took a taxi to walk around the streets of Mushi, and half an hour later, Chen Jihe's phone called, telling me the location of the Demon Dao Huolian Mountain, and when I was about to hang up the phone, Chen Jihe said a word to me.
"Xu Sanhuo, no matter what you want to do, you must discuss it with Uncle Zhao first! You can't move this person, and you can't fight him. ”
"Do you know Huolian Mountain?" In fact, I still have quite confidence in my heart, with the untimely death and the spade sword, plus the Rakshasa ghost soldiers who have just been trained into the prototype, ordinary demons should be no problem.
But Chen Jihe's next sentence was like ice water in winter, which cooled my thoughts through, and a chill spread all over my body.
"Huolian Mountain is one of the elders of the Afterlife Pavilion!"
