Chapter Seventy-One: The Lost Soul
As the door opened, the atmosphere in Maple Grove became even more eerie and inexplicable.
At this time, Wang Xiaozu had already hid under a low wall next to him.
Half of his head poked out, staring carefully at the movements in the town.
For some reason, there was an inexplicable horror in my heart.
He couldn't have imagined it.
In this town where strange things are rumored to be frequent, there are still people who dare to live here.
"Huh? He doesn't have the slightest hint of a monk, he seems to be just an ordinary person... Who is it? Haven't the people of this town moved out yet? ”
Wang Xiaozu quietly released his divine sense and immediately looked after it.
In a courtyard not far from the entrance of the town, a young woman dressed only in thin obscene clothes.
He walked out of the room with a dull face and empty eyes.
I saw that her movements were stiff and slow, as if she was sleepwalking.
After a short time, he walked to the gate of the courtyard.
The mechanical stretched out his hands and pulled the deadbolt open.
Squeak!
Immediately, he pushed open the courtyard door and walked out leisurely.
At the same time, Wang Xiaozu immediately withdrew his divine sense.
The figure of the woman had already appeared in his eyes.
I saw that he walked under the white lantern in front of his house, and stopped moving.
At this time, in the direction of Wang Xiaozu, he could only see the other party's side face slightly.
The woman's skin is fair and pink, and her appearance is delicate and lovely, but she has such a bit of beauty.
Seeing such a beautiful girl in the boudoir, I walked out of the house alone in the middle of the night.
Wang Xiaozu couldn't help but feel even more strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
At this moment, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at the woman's side face very seriously.
Suddenly!
At that moment, he saw the woman slowly raise her head.
He looked up at the white lantern overhead.
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
"What is she doing? It's like smiling at the lantern... It's weird..."
Wang Xiaozu didn't see the other party's face clearly, and saw such a slight change in the expression on his face.
I can't help but secretly guess.
After a while.
The young woman remained still, looking up at the movements of the white lantern.
The next moment!
Suddenly, a low, strange laugh erupted from its mouth.
Giggle......
Hearing this strange laughter, Wang Xiaozu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Covered in sweat and hair, handstand.
From that laughter, he couldn't hear any emotion.
It is very low and hoarse, not like the voice that a normal person can make.
At least it doesn't match the woman's appearance at all.
At this time, he couldn't see anything strange on the woman.
I think it must have collided with some evil spirit.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in my heart.
I think it's a pity that such a beautiful and delicate woman died for no reason.
But he hadn't figured out the situation yet, but he didn't dare to make any rash moves.
We can only keep a wait-and-see attitude for the time being.
"What's she going to do next?"
Looking at the woman's strange behavior, Wang Xiaozu thought like this in his heart.
Suddenly!
At that moment, I saw the white lantern that the woman was looking at.
The lights went out all at once.
Just as the lights went out, the woman's face returned to its previous sluggish appearance.
Then, he slowly turned his body.
With his back to Wang Xiaozu's direction, he walked towards the depths of the street.
Seeing the woman walking towards the town, Wang Xiaozu couldn't help but groan.
I wonder if I want to keep up.
But after all, he had heard the strange rumors of this town, and he was still a little afraid of entering it.
But seeing the woman walking farther and farther, he couldn't help but be curious.
Gritted his teeth and quietly sneaked into town.
Following behind the young woman, Wang Xiaozu always kept a long distance from her.
After all, the other party is really slow to walk, and he is not afraid to lose it.
At first, Wang Xiaozu was still dodging, lying on the walls on both sides of the street from time to time.
But seeing that the woman had no intention of turning back, she gradually became bolder.
The cat leaned closer to the other party.
After about ten minutes, an intersection appeared in front of me.
Wang Xiaozu looked left and right, and his heart immediately understood.
This is the town center of Maple Grove.
There are several buildings on the side, which are the official yamen.
But Rao is so, and at this time the door is also closed.
There are also two white lanterns hanging in front of the door.
Thump!
Just as Wang Xiaozu was looking left and right, he suddenly heard a muffled sound in front of him.
When he turned his gaze away.
I found out that the young woman who was still walking well.
At this moment, he was lying down in the middle of the intersection.
He was already a little nervous when he heard the noise.
The figure has flashed to the side.
The body is close to the door of the shop, and the whole person is completely integrated into the darkness.
"! What's this playing? ”
He peeked at the woman lying in the middle of the intersection.
Wang Xiaozu wondered in his heart, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
I wanted to go up and check it out, but I thought it would be better to be cautious.
Sou!
That's just at this time.
He suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and a black shadow emerged from the woman's body.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
"That's... What is it?! ”
When he saw such a black shadow, he slipped away in front of his eyes like a fox.
Wang Xiaozu was shocked in his heart.
Seeing this change, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he was a little unsure if he was dazzled.
I wonder what that black shadow was just now?
If it weren't for his five senses, he was different from ordinary people.
I'm afraid I won't be able to find it at all, the black shadow that completely blends with the darkness.
I can't help but be a little glad that I didn't rush forward.
"Red Lotus, do you feel anything?"
Wang Xiaozu, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't dare to move.
After a moment of silence, the red lotus was aroused.
"No... What happened? I was just cultivating..."
Red Lotus replied with some confusion.
"Oh..."
Hearing the other party's words, Wang Xiaozu was a little speechless for a while.
I felt that I had made a mistake, so I should have summoned the red lotus in advance.
It's good to help yourself see the strange things that happened to the woman before.
And now that the matter has passed, he can only explain what just happened.
"What? Something strange in Maple Grove? ”
"Oh! That's the guy! ”
At this time, Honglian apparently found the young woman lying in the middle of the intersection.
Wang Xiaozu immediately sensed that he was in his body and rushed out of a strange fluctuation.
It seemed that the red lotus had released her divine sense, and her heart was immediately relieved.
"She's dead..."
Less than ten seconds passed, and the flat voice of the red lotus suddenly sounded.
"What?! Die... Die... He's dead...? ”
"How is that possible? Is this dead? ”
Wang Xiaozu is not a stranger to death, and at the same time unfamiliar.
Except for his previous life, he died suddenly and experienced a death in a daze.
But I have never met a living person who died in front of me.
Even if he crossed over to the Holy Spirit Continent to become a monk, he had never killed anyone with his own hands.
All those who had a grudge against him were simply sent to the prison of the system.
Now that I saw someone suddenly die in front of my eyes, she was still such a young and beautiful girl.
He only felt as if he was shocked by a strong sense of shock, and he slammed it hard.
My body couldn't help but tremble.
"Hmm... He's dead. What do you have to fear? Isn't it just a dead person..."
Red Lotus first replied affirmatively, and then said with some disdain.
"Dead someone? She died right in front of me! I can... I'm not afraid... I just think some..."
"Sympathy? Wretched? ”
Before Wang Xiaozu could finish speaking, Honglian took over the conversation and asked in a somewhat cynical tone.
"Hehe... Put away your little mercy! You're a monk now! There is no one in this world to be pitied! ”
"You're going to face a lot of death in the future! If you have such a heart, I'm afraid you won't survive two episodes here..."
Honglian said without any sympathy.
There is even more instruction in the words.
Hearing her say this, the tremor on Wang Xiaozu's body gradually eased.
Although I feel that the other party's words are a little unpleasant, it makes sense.
He didn't have any rebuttals, and he didn't feel that sad in his heart.
ruthlessly, this topic is exposed.
He immediately asked, "How did she die?" Why did he die all of a sudden? ”
"She didn't die suddenly, there is an extremely fierce yin qi in her body, it seems that she has encountered a powerful ghost asking for her life..."
"Devil for your life?!"
Hearing Red Lotus's words, Wang Xiaozu was a little shocked.
I've heard a lot of stories about ghosts asking for their lives, but I've never seen them with my own eyes.
Even if he saw it now, he didn't understand it.
"It's just a little similar... I don't feel like I've been asked for my life..."
"Huh? How so? ”
Originally, Wang Xiaozu had already decided that the other party was a powerful ghost who asked for his life and died.
But Honglian suddenly changed the conversation and said no, which couldn't help but make him very puzzled.
"If the ghost asks for her life, she should be full of resentment now..."
"But now I don't feel it at all, did I just die?"
"If you just died... It's a strange thing..."
Hearing Honglian's last words, Wang Xiaozu immediately came to his senses.
Immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Resentment! People die with resentment! But I don't feel resentment in her at all now..."
"It seems to have been drained of the soul... Naturally, the resentment will no longer exist! ”
"Drained of your soul?"
......
"That's right! If he is asked for his life by a ghost, the resentful lord will have a soul that will stay in the place where he was killed and will not be able to get out of trouble. ”
"Resentment will be completely attached to this spirit, forming a yin evil"
"And after the soul of the resentful lord is returned to the underworld. The three souls and seven spirits are incomplete, and Yin Cao will definitely not accept it..."
"Think about it, if you miss a soul, you will never be reincarnated..."
"It's like you get 100 points and you end up with 99.9 points. It's just a little bit worse, and it doesn't work at all. ”
In this way, the resentful owner himself will also produce a lot of resentment. As soon as the two are combined, they will naturally turn into a powerful ghost! ”
"And the resentful ghosts, the underworld will not allow them to be reincarnated..."
Hearing Honglian's explanation, Wang Xiaozu suddenly realized.
"So... Wasn't she killed by a ghost? What do you say about the dark shadow I just saw? ”
"I don't know... It's just that this person's body is very consistent with the signs of a terrible ghost asking for his life, but it's not..."
"It's as if the soul has been taken away..."
"Soul taken away?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaozu immediately grasped the point.
I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart. His face suddenly darkened.
"Demon Dao?!"
