The sound of "cooing" birds echoed in the quiet town, and there was not a single living person walking outside in Jieping Town under the night sky, only monsters and remnants of the past wandering aimlessly in the streets.

The town is divided into nine neat "rooms" like tofu blocks, of which the royal one is the most expensive, and there are envoys and their families and friends who govern the town.

And the most special thing in the royal room is the Zhenxi Medical Center, in which no matter whether it is a demon or a human, all are treated equally. And the most divine thing in Zhenxi Medical Center is the medicine.

There is blood in the medicine, and there is spirit in the blood, where does the spirit come from?

"Who in this town has spiritual powers? Is that you? Is it me? It can only be ......"

The storyteller's tail note dragged on for a long time, and people scratched their cheeks: "Who is it!" Say it quickly! ”

An Huai slapped a scribbled stone on the wooden table: "Hey, I can only tell this secret to our companions in the previous room. O spirit...... Why do you think you live in a royal room so demonic? Is it fed in vain? ”

"Ahh They! The guy listening to the book suddenly shouted, and hurriedly covered his mouth, "They were also ......"

An Huai is unkempt and unkempt at the moment, and he doesn't look like he is dancing in Cloud City. He nodded secretly: "This is a secret, and those who know it will definitely die, and you must not talk to anyone." ”

"No, then why do they still let our blood out, don't they just use those demons?" Another uncle, who was listening to the book, asked in an accent.

An Huai sighed: "Big brother, you still don't understand, you don't understand!" ”

He glanced at the already dark sky, lifted the wooden table and said, "It's getting late, let's go back." Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown. ”

When the people dispersed, An Huai returned to his small earthen house, he looked at his wrists that had been scratched one after another, took out a locust leaf in his arms, and asked silently in his heart: "Linghua, where are you?" ”

Linghua, who was downstairs from the wooden building, sneezed, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and opened the dark red door. Henggu followed behind her, staring wide-eyed at the movements around her.

The door opened, and the inside was still a familiar shadow wall, and through the hall where the doctor was seen, the two of them quietly walked down the dark aisle one after the other.

For some reason, tonight's night was unusually dark. The dark clouds closed the moon, and the originally misty moonlight did not have the slightest light through the window, and the five fingers could not be seen in the wooden building, so they could only move forward little by little.

was leaning against the wall and moving forward, when he suddenly felt a sticky and slippery liquid in his hand, and the rancid breath poured into his nasal cavity, Linghua reacted suddenly, and slashed it with his hand.

The thing trembled, letting out a piercing roar, and the rotting and stenching blood qi surged every cell in Linghua's body.

She raised her hand and slashed again, the stiff carrion of the monster's body paralyzing her palm. How can there be a body as hard as a rock? But the monster did not move, neither fighting back nor fleeing, as if it had come to be beaten.

Heng Gu also heard the voice, he touched the vase on the elevated shelf, and was about to strike a blow to the monster head-on, when suddenly a strong wind rose outside the wooden building, and a row of windows in the house were blown open by the wind with spiritual power.

The moonlight crowded into the window in an instant, flowing cleanly on Linghua and Henggu, and illuminating the appearance of the monster.

It looks like a human being, but it doesn't look like a human being, and its straight up and straight body doesn't seem to be able to support its huge round head, and its whole body is shaking. Covered in rotten blood, the blood flowed down from the flesh of the body, dripping to the ground, and then evaporated in an instant.

A closer look at its limbs reveals that it has no legs, and its legs are positioned like a stocky trapezoidal base to keep it standing. Its arms were like branches stuck in a snowman, standing on either side of its body, charred and dry, as if it could not be bent at all.

Its spherical head had no eyes, no nose, and no ears, and only a large, foul-smelling mouth with two rows of sharp fangs on top and bottom, which seemed to be a patchwork of the teeth of several animals, large and small, uneven.

Heng Gu was frightened when he saw the true face of the monster, he pointed at it and asked, "You...... Is it Sun Lianran? How did it come to this? ”

The monster didn't move, but its body swayed slightly from side to side, and its big mouth let out a deep and dumb roar.

Linghua was closer to it, and she could clearly see the lines on the monster's face, which seemed to be muscle textures one by one, but there was no skin, and the entire surface was a dazzling blood red, emitting an unpleasant smell of decay as the wind blew.

Linghua was not afraid, and asked, "You came here to find me?" Was that the same you the other day? ”

The monster shook back and forth a few times, and suddenly disappeared all at once, appearing in the courtyard not far away, watching them silently in the cold moonlight, and shaking its body.

"She's showing us the way." Linghua took two steps in the direction of the monster.

Henggu hurriedly grabbed her: "It may be setting a trap for us. ”

Linghua pulled out his hand and held Heng Gu back: "Whether it's a trap or not, you'll know if you try it." There is still a lot of information unknown, and if her leadership allows us to see new clues, it will not be a loss. Don't worry, we'll go back quickly when the situation is not good. ”

Henggu nodded: "Okay, then you go behind me, and I will protect you." ”

The monster saw the two follow, disappeared again and appeared at the next intersection, after three or five times, they found themselves in front of Dr. Cao's palace, the last time the wooden building appeared, this palace clearly disappeared, why did it appear in the wooden building again?

Is this wooden building real or an illusion?

At this moment, there was no light in the palace, and when the monster approached the palace, the door of the temple automatically opened, and Linghua and Henggu followed it and walked in.

The monster led them into the study, the furnishings in the study were very simple and simple, the door was a high and wide screen, there were only a few bookshelves in the room, a small round table next to a chaise longue, and a writing table and chair pen and ink.

The tall shelves are filled with books, arranged in a vertical row on the side of the house, completely obscuring the contents behind the shelves. The monster stood in front of the bookshelf in the middle, bent down vigorously, and the old trunk-like arm tried to write the word "tiger" on the ground with rotten blood.

Linghua saw the blood words that were gradually disappearing, and by the moonlight, his eyes wandered on the bookshelf, and after searching for a few seconds, he found the copper tiger in the highest grid. Heng Gu stepped forward and twisted the tiger slightly, and heard something slowly open after hearing the bookshelf.

Henggu opened the book, and through the gap he saw a rectangular opening in the ground behind the bookshelf, about the length of a bookshelf and two people wide. He looked back at the monster with a look of surprise, "What are you telling us for?" ”

The monster was about to write on the ground, when he suddenly heard an old man's cough outside, Linghua hurriedly twisted back the mechanism, pulled Henggu out of the window, and covered the window lightly, leaving a crack to see the situation.

Dr. Cao walked into the study with the support of Sui Sheng, he walked slowly, coughing one after another, almost coughing out his lungs, which was very different from the appearance of his energy during the day.

Sui Sheng helped him to sit on the chaise longue and went to light the lamp himself, and the dim oil lamp was lit, so Sui Sheng put the lamp on the round table, took out a red pill from his arms, and commanded, "Master, take today's medicine." ”

Doctor Cao hurriedly struggled to stand up from the recliner as if he had accepted a holy relic, knelt down on one knee and took the medicine in Sui Sheng's hand with both hands, and said with his head bowed: "Thank you Emperor Yuan for the medicine." ”

He chewed and swallowed without any thought, and after swallowing it clean, he opened his mouth to examine Suisheng.

Sui Sheng looked at Dr. Cao's clean mouth condescendingly and nodded with satisfaction. He helped Dr. Cao up and sat on the recliner, poured a cup of tea at the round table and handed it to Dr. Cao with both hands, and said respectfully: "The precursor of the outbreak period came earlier than expected, and the wind will roll up tonight." ”

Doctor Cao took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth, pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe the mirror was used to stimulate the process." Recently, the spiritual defense has been weak, so I should tell them to pay more attention. ”

Sui Sheng nodded: "The apprentice knows, so he will go and command." The master had a good rest, and the apprentice left first. ”

Dr. Cao said, "Go", and then closed his eyes to recuperate.

Then he was born, and the monster seemed to be hidden in the darkness, and there was no one to be seen.

Dr. Cao was silent for a long time, and after a while he let out a painful and restrained low roar, and his voice gradually stopped, and Dr. Cao's coughing also stopped.

He slowly opened his eyes, and only one pill was needed to regain his radiant appearance. Walking steadily to the bookshelf, he pulled open a drawer, took out a well-made lotus pink dress and put it on the desk, muttering to himself.

"Aqin...... Don't blame me for making you look like this, only then can we see each other again in this suffering world. ”

"I know...... I know you're in pain right now. But, but I can't help it, she lied to me, so I can only listen to her......"

"Aqin, can you hear me...... I'm confessing to you......"

"Woo-woo-woo......" There was a beastly cry out of nowhere in the room, the voice was dull, and there was some mournful wail in it. It seemed to want to say something, but all it could say was a whining sound.

Doctor Cao seemed to have discovered the source of the sound at once, and with tears in his eyes, he whispered into the darkness: "Aqin...... You've suffered......"

He picked up the skirt on the table, spread it out on the table, his teary eyes crooked, and squeezed out a warm smile: "I know, I will find a way, but life has to go on......

You see, this is a new ready-to-wear garment, and I specially asked the messenger who went out to buy one from a passing caravan, and I will help you wear it. ”

Dr. Cao brought the oil lamp, and the dim light was only enough to illuminate two people, and that little bit of light shone on Dr. Cao, and also on a humanoid thing.

They were a little close, and they were all illuminated by the slightest bit of light, as if standing in the light, they could be warmed by the heat brought by the light. Dr. Cao trembled a little and held a lotus pink dress, and compared the clothes to the side of the thing.

This kind of humanoid thing is the monster that brought them into the palace. At this moment, she was skewed by Dr. Cao, her body was slanted like a crooked old tree, and her arms were like hanging willow tips and withered.

Doctor Cao looked at such a monster, and with loving eyes, he gently took off the black clothes on her body, revealing the original skin on her body.

No, it shouldn't be called skin, but patches of red flesh oozing blood, and when the black clothes were taken off, there were traces of red flesh that adhered to the clothes, and the monster let out a low roar of pain.

"Okay, okay, it's going to be okay right away, bear with me a little longer." Doctor Cao blew on the monster and slowly soothed: "Was the blue skirt a little small last time?" You see, the blood is soaked and sticky, next time I buy you a bigger one, it won't. ”

As he spoke, he tore off the sticky flesh from his clothes and stuck it to the monster, and the flesh seemed to grow back again, but it kept oozing blood.

Heng Gu's facial features were wrinkled together when he saw such a scene, but he still bared his teeth and stared at the fox's eyes to continue to look, and at this time, the breath of rotten flesh came out of the crack in the door, and he almost vomited it. Linghua stroked his back and helped him calm down.

Dr. Cao put on his clothes after a short time, and he looked at the monster and said, "You loved to wear pink clothes when you were young, and you are still very beautiful." ”

The monster let out a whining roar again, and the spherical flesh of its face began to ooze drops of blood. When Dr. Cao saw it, he hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it: "Don't cry, we have been married for so many years, no matter what you look like, I am by your side." ”

The monster seemed to nod, but it didn't have a neck that could move, and its old tree-like body shook in response.

Dr. Cao turned around and sighed inaudibly, knocked on the wall behind the desk three times, and the wall "clicked" a crack. Dr. Cao pushed open the sliding door, pushed through a narrow wooden cart for transporting patients, carried his wife to the cart, and tied her to the cart with hemp rope.

He walked to the bookshelf in the middle and twisted the bronze tiger, revealing a long, narrow mouth. He slipped through the gap between the bookshelf and the wall, drove his way to the secret mouth, and carried his wife down.
