Chapter 11: Seeking Life
"Xiaobai, where have you been?"
"Why is there snow on your clothes?"
"Is it snowing outside?"
As soon as Mo Bai arrived home, Mo Ying stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, asked three questions in a row, and checked up and down.
Mo Bai stood in place, quietly letting Mo Ying get up and down.
The dragonman in the hooded cloak followed behind Mo Bai, standing silently like a guard.
Confirming that Mo Bai was intact and no major problem, Mo Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and her mother-in-law said: "I told you to pay attention to safety yesterday, and today I will go out alone without saying a word, you can at least tell me, it's okay." ”
Mo Bai listened to Mo Ying's nagging, nodded consciously admitting his mistake, and the puppet dragon man behind him spit out a small fireball and held it in the palm of his hand.
The temperature in the room rises, and soon the inside of the house is no longer cold, but warm.
Mo Bai looked up at the hole in the roof, with this little sun, this winter, Mo Ying should not feel cold, and it can save money on oil lamps.
"What is this? Warm, shiny. "Moying is curious.
"......" Mo Bai tilted his head, what should I say?
A big fireball compressed to the extreme?
If you say it, it is estimated that Mo Ying will be scared and dare not use it.
So he chose to be silent, and generally the things he didn't explain wouldn't be pestered to let him say.
It's the same this time.
Mo Ying's attention was attracted by the small fireball in the dragonman's hand, and without Mo Bai's explanation, she became more and more curious about the origin of this fireball.
As for the role, it is already obvious.
When Mo Bai got home, he let the dragon man spit out the small fireball, and the temperature in the room could rise to a comfortable range.
She didn't have to think about it to understand that Mo Bai took it back to warm her up.
It turns out that Xiaobai went out to help me find something to keep warm...... Thinking like this, Mo Ying filled in the reason for Mo Bai's failure to report his outing.
……
The Taoist returned to Liangdu City for thousands of miles, and as soon as he walked to the yamen, he shook his head, restrained his mind, and his eyes no longer wandered.
Recalling the explanation of the man in white, he sorted out his appearance, and then strode into the yamen.
As expected, soon an errand came to him, "Dao Chief, Qin Zhutou is looking for you!" ”
He had just arrived at the resting bedroom, and before he had taken a sip of tea, he asked with a shelf, "But is there something urgent?" ”
"When the Taoist chief was no longer there, eight murders were discovered in succession, and the deceased looked tragic, and it was from the same person...... "The messenger hesitated for a moment, replaced the person with an evil one, and said, "All from the same evil hand." ”
"Well," the Taoist reacted coldly, "what else?" If there's nothing urgent, don't bother me. ”
It's not a hurry!?
The officer was puzzled, and told another thing.
"An old man came to the Lin family, saying that the mansion is haunted, and the second young master asks you to go over to exorcise evil spirits."
After drinking a cup of tea, the Taoist breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I see, I'll be over later."
……
"Hey, why are there so many patrolling sergeants in the city all of a sudden?"
"Not yet...... No, I don't know, don't ask me, I don't know anything. ”
"What are you afraid to say?"
"Don't dare to say anything, what am I afraid to say?
I don't know anything, what can I say? ”
In the inn, the bald man listened to the chatter of the guests, and at a table not far from him, Gongsun Changquan held a porcelain bowl in his hand, drank warm wine, and ate peanuts.
"Master, the people from the General's Mansion have been dispatched, it seems that something big has happened in Liangdu City."
Gongsun Changquan was obviously not interested in this, drank a little wine, and said quietly: "General's Mansion...... I don't know what happened to General Jiang, is his body still hard? ”
Servant: "According to rumors, General Jiang has been bedridden in recent years, and the border defense affairs have been entrusted to the eldest son. ”
"Hey," Gongsun Changquan looked playful, "the head of the border guard is replaced, and he doesn't squeak to the court." ”
"Master, what do you think the court can do even if it knows?" The servant shook his head, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away." ”
Gongsun Changquan shook his head and sighed: "In the past, I was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how fortunate I was. Now that it is good, the closer it is to the temple, the more the people are bored. On the contrary, Liangdu, a ghost place far away from the temple, has become a rare place of tranquility. ”
Knocking peanuts, his face was slightly drunk, the warm wine in this inn was quite strong.
He muttered, "If I can, I hope to see the Jiang family in the capital next year." ”
The servant said: "I heard that the eldest son of General Jiang has a son, who knows the art of war at the age of four, can lift a thousand catties at the age of eight, and mixes in the army at the age of twelve, and goes deep into the north alone at the age of fourteen, chasing and killing hundreds of rogues. ”
Gongsun Changquan looked sarcastic and said disdainfully: "What kind of stupid rumors are they? Fooling people like fools? ”
"Hehe, too, the little one didn't even know a single big character when he was four years old, how could a four-year-old child in the world know the art of war!" The servant sneered: "The latter is even more ridiculous." ”
The Zhigong Sun Changquan glanced at him disdainfully, and said sarcastically: "If you can't read a word at the age of four, and you can't read a word, then you are really stupid." ”
Servant:......
……
North of the city, Lin family compound.
Lin Ershao squatted within the wall surrounded by a group of people who were caught quickly, his face was bitter.
"Yo, Lin Ershao, what's the matter?"
The fat catcher was about to break his mouth, and said angrily: "Do you dislike us rough people for not being good-looking or what?"
Our brother protects you so closely, you are still worried, and you don't give us face.
Why don't I give you a bunch of good girls? ”
"No, no," Lin Ershao pulled out an ugly smile, "That's good, that's good." ”
On the side, the old man with a sad face dodged his eyes, for fear that at some moment he would meet the cruel gaze that Lin Ershao threw and wanted to tear him apart.
The Taoist belt is brought.
But there is a price.
What is it?
It's all exposed.
There is no way, the people in the government have already found out about him, and he happened to go over and send a wave.
What can I do?
It blew itself up.
In the warm pavilion, Qin Fan sat on the Taishi chair, playing with the delicately carved jade porcelain in his hand.
On the side, the Taoist held a peachwood sword in his arms, quietly closing his eyes and recuperating.
He pretty much figured out the general idea of the matter.
A few months ago, the second young man of the Lin family had an affair with his father's concubine, and because of the red-eyed strange thing, it was finally exposed.
The furious head of the Lin family drove the concubine out of the house, and Lin Ershao also lost his dignity as a man for some indescribable reasons.
After that, the little concubine secretly came to Lin Ershao, hoping that he would fulfill the oath he made at that time and leave the Lin family with her.
As a result, Lin Ershao agreed on the surface, and found someone behind his back to strengthen the little concubine, but he felt that it was not enough once, so he looked for it a few more times, and there were a total of eight people before and after.
was kicked out of the house before, and then was slighted by thieves in turn, the little concubine had a nervous breakdown, and probably died in an unknown place on a snowy night.
Then, last night, all eight people involved in the rape died mysteriously......
Although the appearance of the death is different from the one in Osmanthus Lane, according to the information he got from Xue Rongji, he is sure that it was the same demon who did it.
That is, the leech demon in the mouth of Xue Rongji.
The one in Osmanthus Lane was done by the leech demon alone, and the last eight were done by him to help the concubine take revenge after controlling the dead body of the concubine.
As for where the leech demon came from, he didn't know, and he didn't know why he wanted to help the concubine.
Yukihime didn't say much.
One unlucky bastard, eight bastards......
There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of the Taoist's mouth, according to the normal situation, two bastards would have to die tonight.
Lin Ershao, who was surrounded outside the house.
An old man with a thief's eyebrows.
'I don't want to fucking save this scum. The Taoist snorted, "But the internal affairs of the Terrans should be handled by the Terrans themselves." ’
Let a demon come, shame on you!
Not to mention that this demon also killed an innocent person.
In his heart, he made a good thought report to himself, and the Taoist began to restrain his mind.
"Squeak~" The door of the warm pavilion was pushed open, and the thin man walked in quickly, and said to the two people sitting on the Taishi chair: "Boss, Dao Chief, the eldest young master of the Lin family is here." ”
Qin Fan raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”
The Taoist brushed his beard and said lightly: "Let him come in, after all, we are guests, and others are the masters." ”
Thin Catcher glanced at Qin Fan, who nodded.
……
The Lin family walked in gently, scolded and ran out.
Passing by Lin Ershao, who was surrounded by the arrests, this humble son looked disappointed and scolded: "Second brother, I really misjudged you!" ”
“???” Lin Ershao looked at the eldest brother who was away with a confused expression, and he actually felt very helpless for a moment.
"Yo, the eldest young master scolded and scolded, and it seems that the savior you are counting on is also very disappointed in you." Fat Catcher's quick words pierced his mind.
Lin Ershao's face turned hideous, "Waste, it's all useless waste, when I need you, none of them are useful!" ’
……
No one stipulates that the leech demon must be able to do it at night, but people subconsciously believe that the leech demon will definitely act at night, and even the leech demon himself feels that he has to kill people at night to pay for his life.
After all, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.
Not only is the action mysterious, but the atmosphere is also weird and scary.
"Ho~ho~ It's a cold day, boss, when are we going to go?" The fat catcher, who was hiding in the shadows, quickly exhaled hot air into his palms.
Qin Fan didn't pay attention to him, if he could, he wanted to wait until dawn, but there was a faint expectation in his heart, looking forward to whether there would really be a demon, and looking forward to whether that Taoist who was chattering with gods and gods would really know the Tao.
"Huh~huh~" The cold wind gusted outside the window.
In the warm pavilion, Lin Ershao sat alone on the Taishi chair, and in the empty room, he always had the feeling of being watched by a pair of gloomy eyes, and his back was cold.
Staying alone in an empty room is not loneliness, it is panic.
There was a sudden sound at the door, and Lin Ershao was nervous: "Who!" Who's there! ”
"Second Young Master, it's me." An old man's voice came from outside the house.
"It's a big night, what are you doing here!?" Lin Ershao's temper came up all of a sudden, and he hadn't settled accounts with the old man about the afternoon!
He scolded and stood up, walked to the door, and was about to raise his hand to open the door, when his body suddenly became agitated.
No, the old man is now controlled by the group of people in the official mansion, and it is impossible for him to appear outside the door!
But outside the door was indeed the voice of an old man.
What's going on?
For a while, Lin Ershao fell into a short dazedness.
Outside the house, the old man asked with concern: "Second young master, second young master, what's wrong with you, why don't you speak?" ”
"You are not Zhu Yan, who are you!" Lin Ershao came back to his senses suddenly, it was definitely an old man outside the house!
He retreated in a panic, away from the door, and fell on the Taishi's chair with a frightened face, frightened.
Outside, the old man's voice disappeared.
Everything is dead and silent.
"Dao Chief? Michigan! Noticing the strange silence around him, Lin Ershao began to shout loudly.
Silence, dead silence.
The cry was like dust falling into the water of a lake, without stirring up any splashes or ripples.
"Dao Chief! Qin catches quickly! Where are you? ”
"Don't hide! Hurry up and come out! ”
"I order you to come out!"
Lin Ershao shouted heartbreakingly, but there was no movement outside the house, and gradually he fell into a panic, his body trembled and got up from the Taishi chair, stumbled to the door, and opened the door hard.
However, the gate seemed to be glued to the door, and it couldn't be broken no matter how much it was broken!
"Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan, are you there!" Lin Ershao lay on the doorman and slapped the door hard.
"Second Young Master? What happened to the second young master? The old man's voice sounded outside the door again, this time Lin Ershao was no longer afraid, but shouted loudly like grasping a life-saving straw: "Quick, open the door for Ben Shao!" ”
"However, the door is locked, and the second young master has to open it yourself." There was something strange in the old man's voice.
Lin Ershao was angry, "Why do you talk so much!" Kick the door open for Ben! ”
"Nope."
The old man's voice outside the door was fluctuating.
A gust of ear wind blew, and Lin Ershao clearly heard a delicate voice in his ears.
"No."
Lin Ershao's face turned pale and turned his head stiffly.
The red figure hung half-hung in the air like a ghost, and the white jade limbs were slowly wrapped around his neck.
The banshee licked her bright red lips and smiled seductively.
"Second Young Master, don't you want to be with me all the time?"
"Ghost~~~(ᄋᄆᄋ Kawa !!)"
Lin Ershao let out the highest scream since his mother's birth, and a second before he fainted, a strong voice of a Taoist sounded in his ears.
"Demons! Hugh hurts! ”
……
This is definitely the most magical night Qin Fan has spent since he crossed over, and it is also the most unforgettable night!
In the compound, the red figure is as fast as a ghost.
Behind the Daoist, countless paper talismans rose, and he waved his peachwood sword, and countless Dao talismans condensed into sharp swords, rushing towards the red-clothed woman who was flying around in the courtyard.
When the Dao Fu came into contact with the Banshee in Red, it spontaneously combusted, and the flames surrounded her, causing her to fall into a sea of fire.
"Dead Daoist, what have you done!"
The red-clothed banshee broke out of the blockade of the Dao Fu and slammed around the compound like a headless fly, but she couldn't fly high and couldn't escape.
The Taoist wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, turned his head and glared at Qin Fan and the crowd who were in a daze, and scolded: "Gan mother, what are you in a daze, go up and cut her!" ”
As if worried that everyone would not dare to go up, the Taoist waved his hand and counted the Dao talismans and pasted them on the bodies of the fast catchers.
Qin Fan glanced at the anxious Taoist, and then lowered his eyebrows and looked at the rune paper attached to his chest, this situation is very kind, you are strengthened, hurry up and send it.
He waved his sleeves, pulled out the saber at his waist, and shouted loudly: "Chong, the demon is physical, hack her to death!" ”
The stunned crowd suddenly came back to their senses, pulled out the saber on their waists and slaughtered the red-clothed banshee like crazy.
I don't know if it's because the banshee in red looks too much like a human, or if there's a problem with the rune paper attached to the catcher's body.
Knowing that the other party was a terrifying demon, the catchers rushed up and slashed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
The banshee's red robe was chopped in pieces, and her hair was scattered, revealing sharp teeth and claws!
"You all have to die!"
……
In the warm pavilion that no one cared about, Lin Ershao, who fainted, was woken up by being slapped in the face.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, get up and run away!"
……
At night, somewhere outside Lin's house, on a tall building.
The puppet dragon man who witnessed the fierce battle in the courtyard threw a punch from time to time, and with each punch, the red-clothed banshee who wanted to fly away fell to the ground.
Hooded capes flutter in the wind.
The red dress was as broken as hemp.
