Chapter 37 Zhangjiayizhuang

She saw the locust tree in the sun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This locust tree has long since withered, like a scrawny old man standing on the side of the street, which can only make people feel vicissitudes and depression. But now the dead locust tree is sheltered by a flock of painted ibis. This rare bird has jet-black feathers that reflect a rainbow of light when the sun shines, and now more than a dozen colorful ibises shine on the branches, like a sacred tree.

Although the snow stopped, the cold wind was howling, and an old dog was coming up to the wind at the end of the alley. It was an ugly, hairy wild dog that no one would normally look up to, but its heroic appearance in the wind now impressed many people.

A gust of wind lifted the scarf of the ghost knife, and as she tidied up, she found an ugly chrysalis blown up to her right shoulder. The chrysalis was dark red and ugly, and she wanted to throw it away, but heard Sixteen's voice "Wait." ”

The pupal shell cracked, and a fiery red butterfly came out.

The Spirited Butterfly hid in her neck from the wind and snow, and Ghost Knife had never seen such a beautiful butterfly, and she muttered, "It's a pity that caterpillars can turn into butterflies, but they can't expect beasts to learn human speech." ”

A fast horse came to the front of the city.

Cannon Qiang and more than thirty Orions were already waiting here, he saw Sixteen from a distance, immediately swallowed the wonton noodles in the bowl, wiped his mouth, "The master is here, go pick him up." ”

The cannon waved his hand from afar, "Here!master!" Sixteen rode his horse and paced, the ghost knife had turned over, and she noticed that each of the hunters was carrying a heavy crossbow, and the arrows in the quiver were also strange. She noticed it and asked, "What's the matter with the crossbows and arrows on your backs?"

"The girl really knew everything, this is the drawing given by the master, and it was cast by the blacksmith in the west of the county for thirteen taels of silver. ”

"That's good. ”

Sixteen said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this waterfall crossbow and arrows can give us the upper hand." ”

"And where are we going?"

The ghost knife raised his head and said, "Zhangjiayizhuang." ”

The west of Xiaonan County is a deserted forest, and the people and horses walk through sparsely, which has the meaning of "the ancient road west wind and thin horses, and the broken intestines are at the end of the world". The remnant sun illuminated Qianmo, and the road was overgrown with humulus, and the horses stepped over it with great reluctance, and roared in pain. The mansion in the distance was Zhangjiayi Village, and the ghost knife asked, "Is it the first murder found in this neighborhood?"

The cannon nodded cautiously, and he said, "The woodcutter came to cut the wood, and found that there were dried bones in the weeds, and immediately ran to the market to make a big fuss. Then the county lord organized us to come to investigate, and there were many people who came to see the excitement, and there were rumors of zombie killings. ”

Sixteen Dao: "According to the humble opinion of the poor monks, Zhangjiayizhuang does not seem to be inhabited. ”

"Haha, the master is modest, Zhangjiayi Zhuang was originally opened by a Taoist surnamed Zhang, when the corpses were in chaos, this Taoist priest suppressed the corpse king and asked the county people to set up a righteous village, bury the wild corpses, and let the deceased be peaceful. But that was a hundred years ago, and I don't know when everyone abandoned Yizhuang again. One of the hunters joked, "You can't take care of the living, but you can't care about the dead!" Cannon was stunned for a moment, "It makes sense, anyway, this place has been deserted since I was a child, and the adults have warned us to stay away from this place." ”

When I got closer, I saw the scratched door panels, and the green lion statues on the left and right sides were also weathered. The lion's head on the left side is broken by the roots, and the stone lion on the right side has its eyes gouged out.

Sixteen: "You look at the two stone statues of green lions, the lion dogs are originally evil things, and one of them was broken head, and the other was gouged out. There is indeed a terrible monster here, but it feels uncomfortable for the two stone lions. Sixteen continued, "Do you have anything you have written on the drawings?"

The cannon said: "Follow the instructions, the ghost sees sorrow and partridge grass." ”

Sixteen: "Please pin the ghost sorrow and partridge grass in your waist." The ghost knife picked up a few of the two things, and the ghost saw that the whole body was gray and black, like some kind of tough fruit, and the partridge grass was a herbaceous plant, with a straight stem, smooth and hairless, and smelled lightly, exuding a cool air all around it. She asked, "What's the point?"

Sixteen answers: "Ghost sorrow is a unique holy relic of Funiu Mountain, which can avoid ghosts." Partridge grass has the effect of awakening and concentrating, avoiding some demonic illusions. ”

The ghost knives each grabbed two and pinned them to their waists, perhaps she didn't notice it herself, and she had inadvertently trusted Sixteen.

She's such a person.

The glow of the red sun struck the side of her face, the eyes twinkling under the hat. It looks like a sparkling wave in the sunset, and like a light brown agate stone, quiet and beautiful.

Cannon Qiang said: "We're not here to catch some Gu people, what is the purpose of these two things?"

Sixteen said: "The anger in the world is so heavy that it has only pitied innocent people and become unjust souls, Amitabha...... It is difficult to ensure that the soul of injustice hurts people for no reason, so it is better to be fully prepared. ”

"The master is reasonable. ”

After speaking, they came to the gate of Zhangjiayi Village. Everyone tied up their horses, most of them pinned their ghosts and partridge grass to their bodies, and some people muttered, "What the hell is this, itchy." "Don't wear it if it's itchy. "People are masters, you are careful of being caught by ghosts. "Hahaha! I wish the ghost would catch me, but I hope it wasn't a female ghost, or she would be the one who ran away. ”

"With you here, the prettier female ghosts don't dare to go out. You really don't have to take these two things?"

"Hehe, I'm too lazy to bring it, such a heavy crossbow is troublesome enough. ”

"If you don't wear it, I won't wear it. ”

About 20 of the 30 or so people wore two plants to ward off evil spirits, and the rest of them were troublesome, so they didn't bring them. Cannon Qiang shouted: "You few! Don't you want to die, don't you put it on Lao Tzu?" Several people were afraid of Cannon Qiang, so they put it on his face, but Cannon Qiang turned around and walked away, and these people spat again, or threw it.

16. Knock on the door "borrow light, borrow ......"

"Squeak...... Boom!" The door collapsed, kicking up dust.

"Ahem!" "Ahem!" Everyone took a few steps back, lifted off the dust, and Sixteen covered his mouth and nose with his long sleeves, observing the environment in Yizhuang. There are large and small coffins in the lobby, sixteen of which count the past, "one, two, three, four, five....... A total of three coffins and three lives. ”

Ghost Knife's hand was always on the black cloth behind her, and she looked around vigilantly, "It's really old here. She brushed the dust from the ground with her fingertips, "At least fifty years." ”

This is the lobby, and there are three passages in the Asari, each of which is a long aisle. In the past, Yizhuang was inhabited, not only for the corpses, but also for some poor scholars and travelers, who could stay here, of course, the price was cheap, so it was built so big. From the outside, it seems that there is a second floor in Yizhuang.

The group lit torches, and Sixteen said, "I don't know which way to go to the second floor." ”

"I don't know. Cannon Qiang shook his head, and he said, "Our soldiers are divided into three ways, I will bring a dozen people over, and the master and the Rakshasa girl will also bring some men and horses each.......

"I'm enough for myself, you're just going to drag me down. "The ghost knife has gone to the rightmost pathway.

Sixteen shook his head slightly, and he said, "I don't need any more men, and if you see anything suspicious, don't hesitate." You can't kill it, but with such ferocious firepower, it can't do anything about it. ”

"Hmm. The cannon shouted, and the rest of the men walked with him into the left passageway, while Sixteen walked into the middle.

The corridor is even more dilapidated, although it is made of green bricks, but the place is damp, and snow water has seeped through the cracks, and moss grows in many places, which glows faintly in the dark. Sixteen noticed that the moss was very unusual, as if it had absorbed some special nutrients, which was why it fluoresced. Something dark red seeped down from the ceiling on the second floor, just at the top of the moss. Sixteen twisted the dark red thing in the palm of his hand, "It's not blood." ”

What could that be?

Sixteen smelled a sour and pungent smell, although it was very similar to blood, but it was definitely not the smell of blood.

Suddenly, the voice of the mirror came from his chest, "Ah, it's some kind of "molt". ”

"What's the explanation?"

"Cicada molt, toad molt, this is the skin of the creature, but this luster is so strange, not like insects or reptiles, but like ...... Person. Jing'er hesitated when she spoke, and Sixteen could even hear her swallowing.

"You say it's a human metamorphosis?"

"No, all I can say is that it contains certain components of the human body. ”

"What's so ingredient?"

"Not sure...... Pour some fleshy worm or worm feeling. ”
