Chapter Twenty-Seven: Night Detective

Bai Xin and Tong Jun returned to their room to rest, and Aunt Qiang also took Su Su to sleep.

Tong Jun watched through the crack in the door as the candle in Aunt Qiang's room went out, and then whispered to Bai Xin: "Could it be that the girl in white is really a demon girl with a star in the day?"

"I don't think it's possible. Bai Xin went to bed and blew out the candle.

"The people in the village are so simple, even if they are so enthusiastic to the three of us who pass by, and they have never doubted us, how can they harm people's hearts?" Tong Jun didn't know whether to trust his eyes or his instincts.

"But don't you think it's strange, if the girl in white is really a wicked witch, why doesn't she just kill a few people and escape, why wait here to become a sacrifice? The people in the village are indeed very kind and honest, but the kinder the people, the easier it is to be deceived. ”

"Are you saying that the villagers are simple and true, and the girl in white is not a monster, but someone is doing something from it?"

"Yes. I think the crux of the matter is that Taoist priest!" Bai Xin said. "Aunt Qiang said that the Taoist priest would help with the Fa tomorrow, which means that he is still in the village. Wait a minute, it's late at night, let's go out and investigate. And I think that Lan Lao Er also has a problem, a person who is no longer humane, and he will not be cold enough to care about the life and death of his wife and daughter. ”

"Okay, but I'll do it myself. You still need to recuperate, this village is all mortals, there will be no problem, you can rest at home with peace of mind. ”

"You take Qinglong with you, I'll be there in time if there is anything. Bai Xin was still not at ease with Tong Jun acting alone.

"Hmm. ”

The moon hung in the middle of the sky, and it was already midnight. The fifteenth moon became large and round, and a thin layer of moonlight like a cicada's wings spread down the dappled shadows of the trees in the darkness.

Tong Jun took Qinglong and quietly left Aunt Qiang's house through the window, and shuttled back and forth in the village in the moonlight.

Bai Xin lay on the bed and said to the darkness: "White Tiger, you quietly follow Tong Jun and protect him secretly." ”

A slender white figure appeared in the dark corner of the room and said, "What's the matter?

"Of course I don't worry, he is new to the world, and I am afraid that something will happen to him. ”

"Didn't you say that you would only take care of yourself before, why are you worrying about others now?"

"Tong Jun is not like other people, he is very good, he ......."

"Alright, alright, I know!" the white figure interrupted Bai Xin and said, "Actually, I have already vaguely felt your change, but you don't forget our purpose." ”

"Of course, I will not forget, I will not achieve my goal, and I will not swerving. When I send him safely to the Goddess Peak, let's go to the imperial capital again." ”

"Forget it, whatever you want. The white figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness of the thatched house.

Tong Jun cautiously ran to a family in the westernmost part of the village, according to Aunt Qiang, the white-haired girl's home should be this one. A long yard was littered with gouging marks, which must have been dug up yesterday when everyone was looking for the bones of children. At the end of the courtyard there was a particularly dilapidated thatched house, and the lamp in the room was still on, and yellow squares were reflected on the ground through the windows.

Tong Jun quietly sneaked to the window, and saw a man lying crookedly on the table through the crack in the window, with several empty wine bottles next to him. Through the bean light in the middle of the table, Tong Jun recognized this person as the stubble man who caught the white-haired girl in the jungle yesterday, and it must be Lan Lao'er. His cheeks were red, he was burping, the plate on the table was empty, he still held a bottle of white wine in his right hand, and a few pieces of broken silver in his left hand.

Lan Lao Er said to himself in a daze: "This ...... This one....... Stinky girl, almost made me ....... The silver in hand flew away. Forehead...... , fortunately, Lao Tzu found out...... timely. , her mother hanged herself...... Hanged ...... She's also bold, see if I don't fight...... Beat...... Kill her!" Lan Lao Er scolded and turned his head, took a big sip of wine, and muttered: "I didn't expect it...... This stinky girl is worth so much money, hehe......" Lan Lao Er played with the broken silver in his hand and said, "I knew earlier...... Just let that old lady ...... A few more were born, and they were all sold...... Change the wine to drink. Pity...... It's unlucky that the old is dead......"

Lan Lao Er kept chattering inarticulately: "I will go to the village chief's house tomorrow and see the old Taoist priest...... If you want to be a girl, I'll get a few more, and I'll ...... for the rest of my life. The money for wine is all there...... Landed, haha...... Haha......"

Tong Jun listened to the window for a long time, and was amazed that the white-haired woman was sold to a Taoist priest by her father, but she didn't expect that there was such a father in the world, and she was really addicted to alcohol!

Tong Jun leaned on the window and listened for a long time, but Lan Lao Er kept repeating the matter of exchanging his daughter for wine money, Tong Jun felt that there should be no new clues, he thought about it, "The Taoist priest is at the village chief's house." Go to the village chief's house and see! But which one is the village chief's house?"

Tong Jun began to investigate from the west end of the village, but in the dead of night, all the villagers had fallen asleep. He couldn't find anyone to ask where the village chief lived, so he wandered around the village aimlessly.

Meanwhile, in the corner of a thatched hut in the village, a dark figure looks around to make sure that no one is around, and then sneakily runs out of the village.

The black shadow ran until the foot of the back mountain before stopping. He knelt on the ground and bowed three times to the back mountain, and then a puff of green smoke floated from the mountain. The green smoke flowed slowly in front of the black shadow, and it did not disperse.

The black shadow said respectfully towards the cloud of green smoke, "Lord Mountain God, everything is ready. Tomorrow the girl will be buried alive here for you to eat. ”

A trance-like voice floated out of the green smoke, saying: "Good job, when the mountain god is successful, there will be your benefits." ”

Hearing what the mountain god said, the black shadow said excitedly, "Thank you for your concern." This girl is a rare sacrifice for thousands of years, one person is up to a hundred, and after the mountain god eats her spiritual power, her skill will definitely be able to go to the next level. At that time, don't say that this mountain range, even the god of Jishan Mountain will give you three points!"

Qingyan said with satisfaction: "Hahaha, you still have a heart, if I get the Tao, it will not be in vain for your plans these days." Is it going well, nothing can go wrong?"

"Don't worry, the people in the village hate this girl so much now, do you remember when you stole and ate the children in their village in the past two years?"

"Those kids aren't as tasty as this girl!"

"Yes, I quietly buried the bones of several children in her yard without anyone noticing, and now everyone in the village thinks that she killed the missing children. ”

"Yes, yes, how did you do that?"

"I gave this girl some broken silver, told him to put some medicine in the meal of their mother and daughter, and buried the bones in her yard while they were asleep!"

"Okay, you still have a strategy. The mountain god complimented the shadow.

"This girl, her father sold her, and her mother committed suicide because of her, at this moment, her heart is like ashes, and the sacrifice of despair of the world will give up the struggle, the mountain god, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"

"I'm relieved to have your words. I heard her dad was an alcoholic?"

"Yes, that's why I sold all my own daughters, and then framed my own daughter with me, just to get some money for wine!"

"Finding an opportunity to kill her father too, it is a long process to absorb the spiritual power of the sacrifice, and it will take about ten days to say the least. If her father drinks too much and says things that shouldn't be said, it's not good for you and me. ”

"Don't worry, I will arrange it. ”

"I just rest assured that you will have to enjoy this mountain god in the future!"

"Thank you, Mountain God. ”

"Go back and get ready, don't let anyone find out. We have been staring at this girl carefully for more than ten years, and finally waited for the day to enjoy it. "Apparently the mountain god is in a good mood.

"Yes. The black shadow bowed to the green smoke again, and the green smoke dissipated for a while, and the black shadow turned around and ran back towards the village. I didn't notice a blue-yellow flame similar to a firefly flickering behind me, and it disappeared into the night with the black shadow.
