Chapter 117 of the Yellow Springs Demon Banner Chapter 117 The Dead Man Goes to the Beam
It seems like......
Probably......
These kinds of words came out of the mouth of the village chief.
Bai Shisan was speechless, that is, after the origin of the corpse tide was exposed, these villagers realized that the ancient temple that prayed for was evil.
Then the more outrageous it became, and the laughter of children was heard.
Could it be that the Orion dragged his seriously ill body over and told them?
Moreover, the whole village was wiped out, and it was impossible for Orion to say what he said before he died.
I guess no one knows exactly what it is.
Everyone in the village is just the same.
"Master Bai, referring to Niu Dashan's case, you are thinking about it. The person behind the scenes can create Niu Dashan and the zombies who have suffered from the thunder robbery and demon extermination, then other things can naturally be created.
I suspect that the hunter simply wanted to go to the ancient temple to pray, because several nearby hills are rumored to be very spiritual. That's why he didn't hesitate to climb over a few mountains to pray.
After the prayer was completed, he had to stay in the ancient temple for one night because of the journey, so he was targeted. ”
Bai Shisan agreed with this explanation, and called Tian Qing to inquire about the situation, after all, he was a city guard before, and naturally he had also participated in the corpse tide battle.
"Childe, you have to ask this, I do know something, but after all, I am a pawn, and I don't know much.
But I did vaguely hear the team leader talking to people, what paper news, what Orion left clues, etc. ”
That's all Tian Qing could provide, but Bai Shisan grasped the point.
"Paper news?Could it be that Orion recorded what happened to him before he died, and finally the paper was found by the people of the Soul Leaving Gang and the City Guard Mansion who swept away.
Only then did I know that the last place Orion had visited was the ancient temple of prayer. ”
Jiang Liu'er nodded when she heard this: "But looking at the attitude of the Soul Leaving Gang and the City Guard Mansion, I shouldn't have found anything in the ancient temple." Because of the cause of Orion's death, no one went to the ancient temple, so there was no need to lock it down or anything. ”
"Looks like I'm going to have to ask about Hate Water when I go back. ”
Bai Thirteen secretly decided in his heart the specific situation of the corpse tide and the news left by Orion.
The evening breeze was howling and the cold was biting.
Between the mountains, a long line of bright torches moves rapidly through the mountains.
At the head of the head was naturally Bai Thirteen in a wide cloak.
The drizzle continued.
The white thirteen body was like a oven, his body was red, and before the raindrops could fall on him, they evaporated in mid-air.
Behind him was Tian Qing, who was riding a tall horse, and behind him was Jiang Liu'er and more than a dozen Soul Leavers.
In their field of vision, a layer of white mist seemed to be shrouded around Bai Thirteen.
The mist was wantonly distorted by the aura emitted by Bai Thirteen, faintly turning into an ape head.
The prayer ancient temple is said to be very close to Xianglin Village, but in fact, this is the result of comparing the distance with other villages.
In fact, Bai Shisan and the others had to travel for a long time on fast horses.
It's hard to imagine that Jiang Liu'er could go back and forth in an hour just by relying on his own foot strength.
The further down the hill became, the more rugged the road became.
I can't ride a horse anymore, the road is slippery in the rain, and it's hard to see in the dark.
Everyone simply dismounted and walked, like a firelight swimming dragon in the dark night, winding up to the top of the mountain.
A group of people were holding torches, and the Humvees under them were hoarse.
With a sword in hand and armor, he turned out to be a man with a resolute face.
The Soul Gang is not just a few stragglers, but also a group of unruly green forest people.
In fact, the more high-level the gang members, the more like trained elite soldiers.
After all, the king of Beiliang killed Liwei, and relied on his well-trained soldiers to fight the title of king with a different surname.
He would never allow his subordinates to be all hooligans.
Everyone walked hundreds of steps in the cold wind, and finally saw the dilapidated ancient temple exposed in the forest on the top of the mountain.
Bai Shisan stopped everyone and glanced meaningfully at Fu Linfu, who was shrinking his head behind him.
I really didn't expect this timid little old man to come with them.
The predecessor of the ancient temple was a courtyard paved with gray and white stone slabs, and the courtyard was covered with dry rattan and yellowed leaves.
In the middle of the courtyard is a headless statue with torches shining slightly, offering a goddess to a fairy.
The statue is pitch black, as if it has been approved in a black dress.
"Feng Xuannu?" Jiang Liu'er suddenly said.
Bai Shisan turned his head when he heard this, pointed to the headless statue and said, "You can recognize the little master if he has no head?"
"Ahem, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, if you read the literature and scriptures in your practice, you will more or less learn about these legendary gods.
It just so happened that I had a little understanding of this mysterious goddess who was in charge of the ghost path, and the black neon dress carved was the same as what the literature said. ”
"Mr. Village Chief, has the statue in front of the ancient temple always been like this?"
"This ...... This is not true, this lady has obeyed her prayers and sheltered this side of the water and soil for many years, but now she has been beheaded. ”
Fu Linfu showed a look of regret.
Bai Shisan and Jiang Liu'er glanced at each other, Xuannu Niangniang represented shame and glory, and her husband was Zhenwu Tianzun.
The world respectfully calls her the lady in black, representing the ghost path.
Now it has been made into a headless corpse, and the evil is rampant, like Liwei.
"Childe, what are we going to do now?"
Tian Qing's voice was low, and his palm never left the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Dilapidated ancient temples, headless statues, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
"First take a team of brothers to surround the ancient temple, and put the highlights on the moves. ”
Bai Thirteen tightened the black robe on his body, and the cold wind blew and rolled up the mille-feuille leaves.
Fu Linfu's eyes shrank, his clothes were close to his body, and Bai Shisan's shadow was far less strong than his figure looked.
It was as if a woman was staring at him through Bai Thirteen's shadow.
"Hmm......" Fu Linfu covered his mouth tightly, trying not to scream.
desperately gave Jiang Liu'er a look, and the white boy in front of him seemed to be ghostly!
"Alas, Village Chief Fu, you are really warm-hearted. ”
Bai Shisan suddenly turned around, took up his position in front of Fu Linfu, knocked him unconscious with a slap of the knife, and casually threw him to a ganger.
"Physical amnesia, not bad, right?"
“...... It's good if you're happy. ”
Bai Shisan waited outside for a while, and only after Tian Qing had set up the sentinels in all directions did he signal a gang member to hand him a torch.
"Tian Qing, you guard the outside, and leave the inside to me and the little master. ”
Bai Shisan personally held the torch and slowly approached the ancient temple.
"Childe!" Tian Qing gritted his teeth and insisted.
"Don't worry, always pay attention to the surrounding environment, it's easy to be negligent when you're in a hurry. ”
Bai Thirteen said in a deep voice.
"Yes, everybody, come with me!"
Tian Qing naturally knew that Bai Shisan didn't let him follow because he was afraid that he would have an accident.
After all, the plague seed that the hunter carried on his body came from this ancient temple.
If there is really an accident, Bai Thirteen, who is the first to enter, will definitely be the first to be hit.
At the same time, Bai Shisan also knew that there were hidden dangers, so he called Jiang Liu'er.
Jiang Liuer's strong strength is the back road that Bai Shisan gave him.
Bai Thirteen stood at a distance of about ten steps in front of the gate of the ancient temple, looking through the collapsed gate.
Squeak Squeak –
Suddenly, a group of two bats the size of a palm rushed out of the ancient temple.
Bai Thirteen was about to cover his wide sleeved robes to resist, but who knew that the group of bats swooped down and flew away quickly towards the forest not far away.
"These vampire bats alone are enough to pose a deadly threat to the people around them. ”
Bai Shisan frowned slightly, when the bat touched his sleeve just now, he keenly felt as if he had been hit by pieces of ice.
And it's mixed with blood.
"These are supposed to be yin bats, mostly strange species that live in tombs and feed on yin and blood qi. ”
Jiang Liuer said.
"Tombs, but isn't this an ancient temple?"
"I didn't say that it must be a tomb, the ancient temple can also be a yin land, and the Xuannu Niangniang is the same as the Zhenwu Emperor, used to exorcise evil spirits and suppress demons.
People who can build ancient temples must know how to do it, and they will not worship the Xuannu Niangniang for no reason. ”
The heat on the surface of Bai Thirteen's body was rising, his eyes opened, and the long knife was thrown towards the ancient temple, and the tooth-sore metal strike sound was not finished, and there were bursts of bells.
"Looking for death!" Bai Shisan clenched his fist prints, bowed his waist, bent his legs, and the big dragon on his spine stretched up, and the whole person slammed towards the inside of the ancient temple like a cannonball.
The red glow of qi and blood on the surface of the body directly lit up the darkness.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to throw the blood knife out, what he threw just now was just the steel knife that he grabbed casually.
At this time, the steel knife was bent to the ground, still trembling slightly, and the strength was visible.
When he arrived at the inside of the ancient temple, Bai Shisan knew the environment he was in.
He was standing on a dark red futon, and the surrounding railings were resting with hideous statues of demon gods.
Bai Thirteen was surrounded by groups.
And on his head was a large bronze bell that came into contact with a steel knife.
"White donor?"
Jiang Liu'er hurried over, and Tian Qing also heard the movement here and hurried over.
Bai Thirteen didn't answer, but slowly moved his gaze up along the mahogany lacquer pillar.
Suddenly, a man stared straight at him face down, his eyes met.
"There's someone on the head. ”
Bai Shisan's face was a little gloomy, and he was suddenly frightened just now.
Jiang Liu'er took half a step back when she heard this, and the man on the beam of the house fell halfway, as if he was about to fall from above.
Because it hangs upside down, all the blood accumulates on the downward-facing head, making it appear congested.
The eyes opposite Bai Thirteen seemed to be about to pop out.
"Childe...... Is this man dead?"
Tian Qing's scalp was a little numb.
"Dead, but the deceased is an acquaintance. ”
Bai Shisan's face was as pale as water, and he continued: "Tian Qing, do you remember those four corpse bearers? Since Niu Dabao's death, there is only one corpse bearer who has not been sure whether he has died. ”
"Niu Lanshan?" Tian Qing remembered.
"That's right, the person who died on the beam of the house was Niu Lanshan. At first, Niu Dashan's body was stolen, and Niu Dabao died tragically. The people of the Yamen went to Niu Lanshan's house, but he disappeared.
After that, everyone thought that he had also suffered an evil spirit, but they didn't expect to see his body here. ”
Jiang Liu'er's face was solemn: "The dead man is on the beam, the murderer." ”
"He died unexpectedly before his death, Master Bai, have you ever thought that the person who stole the corpse may not be a living person? It is difficult for a dead person to leave footprints when he walks on his toes, so the clues of your investigation of the case of the lost body will be interrupted. ”
Jiang Liuer guessed.
Bai 13 nodded after hearing this, the body was lost at night, and it was dark.
If it is artificial, how can it not leave a clue.
What's more, on the night Niu Dashan's body disappeared, there were more than just living people in the yard.
After all, Niu Dabao has a strange cause of death, and he has an obsession to show the scene of the crime, which can be said to be a ghost crime.
If it was a living person stealing a corpse in the yard, would the ghost thing that killed Niu Dabao that night let such a sober person wander around the yard?
I'm going to have to stun the thief who stole the corpse at the last time, just like the night watchmen, right?
But no.
That means that the person who stole the corpse and the ghost who killed Niu Dabao are in the same group.
And can commit crimes with ghosts, can it be a living person?
