Chapter 3: The Strange Yizhuang
"Don't you think Xingxian is a little too quiet today?!" Li Tai'an looked at the yellow dog and asked.
The yellow dog lay lazily at Li Tai'an's feet, "It's normal, it's the same as when we first came." ”
There were not many people in the inn, and there was not much difference from usual.
"But they didn't discuss the matter of the servants at all!"
Li Tai'an listened to it in the inn for a long time, but he didn't hear any news about the officials.
This situation is too abnormal.
"I've noticed this for a long time, but there's another piece of news that's also worth paying attention to, I think another corpse should have been found."
Following the direction prompted by the yellow dog, Li Tai'an saw an old man.
"His son, Xu Yong, is idle in Xingxian all day long, misbehaving, and gambling, which is well known."
Li Tai'an frowned and asked puzzledly, "What does that have to do with the other corpse?" ”
"But Xu Yong has a habit that no matter how late it is, he will definitely go home that night, which is also a well-known thing in Xingxian County."
The yellow dog looked at Old Man Xu and continued to say lazily: "But yesterday, all night, Xu Yong didn't go home, and even today it's noon, and there is still no news." ”
"So you suspect that the body that Xu Ping went to check yesterday was Xu Yong's?"
"Then we'll have to wait for the follow-up news!"
Just as Li Tai'an was thinking, he saw a scene of numbness on his scalp.
A group of officials walked through the street, and the last one was Lin Yagong, who had died in the early hours of this morning.
Yellow Dog also discovered this situation, glanced at Li Tai'an, and the two of them ran out quickly.
When they came to the street, a man and a dog looked at the back, and determined again that it was Lin Yashi who fell to the ground in the early hours of this morning.
Both sides looked at each other, and both saw each other's shock.
"Let's go! Go to the county office and have a look! Li Tai'an did not hesitate, and followed the team of the officials to the county government quickly.
When they came to the gate of the county office, watching the originally dead Lin Ya Servant quickly enter the county office, Li Tai'an and Huang Gou's faces became more and more heavy.
Along the way, Lin Yazhi's performance was no different from ordinary people.
The physical activity is very normal, and there is no problem in talking to people, it is really no different from ordinary people.
"Are we mistaken?" Li Tai'an asked the yellow dog uncertainly.
"Impossible! Although I did not hear the cry of the baby you spoke of at the time, I did see the officer fall to the ground and die. Yellow Dog said with great certainty.
Immediately afterwards, Li Tai'an and Huang Gou saw Old Man Xu who was just at the inn, he came to the county office and shouted: "Master Zhang, please find my son Xu Yong!" ”
Before Old Man Xu finished speaking, a woman also staggered, crying and running to the gate of the county office, "And my seven-year-old child, who went out this morning and never came back." ”
In the surprised eyes of Li Tai'an and Yellow Dog, two or three more people came one after another.
Their purpose is the same, someone in the family is missing, hoping to get help from the county government.
Seeing this, Li Tai'an knew that in the current situation, the matter of Lin Yagong had to be put aside first.
Back at the residence, Li Tai'an picked up the long knife and said to the yellow dog: "Tonight, let's go to Yizhuang to see, Liu San's body, I must see." ”
Just when Li Tai'an and Yellow Dog went back, the county government was already in a mess.
Su Lie, one of the two major catchers in Xing County.
In his early years, he participated in the martial arts examination.
Although the results are not good, the kung fu is real.
A tiger-headed broadsword was in his hand, and it was even more powerful.
So in this small Xingxian County, Su Lie has become a well-deserved big catcher.
Taking a spare time, Su Lie came to the thatched house, and it was convenient to prepare.
It's just that as soon as I entered, a foul smell hit my face.
Su Lie frowned, although the smell of the latrine was very strong, but the perennial experience of catching fast made him tell at once that it was the smell of dead people's corpses.
Slowly pulled out the treasure knife at his waist, slowed down, and entered little by little.
Scanning around, there was no one.
But after Su Lie entered the latrine, he was even more sure that there was indeed a smell of corpses that was difficult to hide.
Slowly walked to the depths of the latrine, and the tiger head knife in his hand became tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, there was a sound behind him, and although the sound was very soft, Su Lie still turned around and waved his knife for the first time.
With a slash, Su Lie's pupils widened directly.
What he slashed was the Lin Ya who entered one step earlier!
But what made Su Lie even more frightened was that Lin Yashi, who was still stabbed, was not only not affected in the slightest, but instead smiled fiercely, and rushed towards Su Lie with a tiger's head knife.
In the end, the tiger head knife penetrated Lin Yashi's entire body, but he still didn't stop and directly knocked down Su Lie.
His hands were like two steel knives, directly inserted into Su Lie's chest!
After a while, Lin Yashi and Su Zhutou walked out side by side, as if nothing had happened.
When night came, the streets of Xingxian County were very quiet because of the curfew.
Except for the husband and the village warriors who watched the night, basically no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Li Tai'an had already put on his night clothes, put on a long knife, brought a yellow dog, and one person and one dog sneaked into the shadows and rushed to Yizhuang.
After a long time of training, Li Tai'an's skills are still good.
So along the way, neither the husband nor the township official found Li Tai'an and Yellow Dog.
Coming to the gate of Yizhuang, the yellow dog stepped forward quickly, and the moment his paw touched the gate of Yizhuang again, a small crack was exposed.
Li Tai'an and Yellow Dog also sneaked directly into Yizhuang in an instant.
Then, the door closed silently.
"There is a corpse smell!"
The moment he entered Yizhuang, the yellow dog with a keen sense of smell passed a message to Li Tai'an.
Although Yizhuang is a place where corpses are stored, it is difficult to transmit the smell of corpses because of the presence of coffins and the people who guard Yizhuang.
Li Tai'an clenched the long knife behind his back and stared sharply at the inside of Yizhuang.
An old man opened his hands and mouth and inhaled heavily at the moon.
"He's dead!"
The yellow dog leapt into the air, and its two front paws were like two long knives, slashing at the old man.
Li Tai'an could see it at a glance, it was the first two swords of the Tengu Sun Devouring Knife Technique, Cong Yun and Tianye!
The old man also spotted the yellow dog in mid-air in an instant, quickly stopped his behavior, and the moment he avoided the yellow dog's attack, he kicked the yellow dog in the stomach.
But just as the old man was about to kick it, a long knife had already slashed at the old man's foot.
The old man's leg was cut off directly, but strangely, not a trace of blood splattered out.
Looking at the cut surface of the old man's leg, not only did there not have any relevant human tissue, but there was a lot of straw.
And these straws manipulate the old man's corpse.
Although he broke a leg, it did not affect the old man's movements at all, and with the support of the straw, the old man flew towards Li Tai'an.
Li Tai'an turned around, and while avoiding the old man's attack, the Tengu sword technique slashed out again.
Cong Yun! Heavenly karma!
The two knives were neat and cut a huge "X" in the old man's back.
But it's still the same, no blood, just disgusting straw.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Tai'an asked puzzled.
The two front paws of the yellow dog did not stop attacking, the tengu knife technique, he was much more skilled than Li Tai'an, although there were only the first two knives, but the power was still higher than Li Tai'an.
"He's dead, so our physical attacks won't work against him! Use the strength of the heavenly master! Yellow Dog said loudly.
Li Tai'an did not hesitate, although there were only a small five filaments in his body, but at this time, it was not the time to save.
A wisp of Heavenly Master strength followed Li Tai'an's arm into the long knife, and the originally dim long knife immediately brightened.
And the old man, who didn't feel pain and only knew how to attack, looked at the long knife lit up in Li Tai'an's hand, and seemed to be aware of the crisis, and frantically flew towards Li Tai'an.
Cong Yun!
Li Tai'an brandished a long knife with both hands and slashed diagonally at the old man.
The yellow dog also jumped away at the first time and avoided Li Tai'an's attack.
Burst!
When it was cut to the old man, Li Tai'an obviously felt different.
This knife is much more powerful than before.
At the same time, a strong and disgusting fishy smell came.
White flames erupted from the old man's body, and streams of black juice flowed out.
After a while, the whole old man was gone, and it was completely a handful of straw.
With the burning of the white flames, the old man finally began to struggle in pain, and at the same time, a large piece of fly ash rose from the burned place.
But the power of this knife is limited after all, and the old man is still frantically attacking Li Tai'an.
Fists, elbows, legs, at this time, all became the old man's weapons.
It was as if all of them were attacking Li Tai'an.
"Don't hesitate, use the strength of the Heavenly Master to cut again!" The yellow dog looked at the suppressed Li Tai'an and hurriedly shouted.
At this time, only the strength of the Heavenly Master can have an effect on the old man!
Cong Yun! Heavenly karma!
Li Tai'an didn't hesitate, grabbed the gap of the old man's attack, and with the two wisps of Heavenly Master strength, Li Tai'an once again slashed out the first two knives of the Tengu Knife Technique.
This time, not only did there be a bigger fishy smell, but white flames also filled the old man's entire body.
Although the old man is still struggling, at this time, it is useless.
"What is this?!" Li Tai'an looked at the situation in front of him and asked incomprehensibly.
"Yin Controller!" The yellow dog said with a solemn face.
"Yin controller?!"
"Many strange beasts, in order to avoid the tracking of the Heavenly Master, they will enter many dark places, and it is not uncommon for them to even join forces with some unclean things. So many times, when the Heavenly Master subdues the alien beasts, he must solve some mysterious things, and it seems that this time, this is also the case. Yellow Dog said as he looked at the burning scarecrow.
Li Tai'an put away the long knife and came to the side of the yellow dog, looking at the old man who was no longer moving, a strong corpse smell came from his body, and it seemed that he had been dead for a while.
"Yin controls, a group of people who control corpses for a living. Many times, what we think is a corpse and an unclean thing is actually a ghost made by a yin controller. ”
"They can control the corpse by relying on the paper piercing man, or they can control the scarecrow, and even some powerful yin control people can complete the control of the corpse in one breath."
"It's like a puppet manipulation, under their control, the corpse will come back to life, which is a very old method."
"If you want to eliminate them, the corpse is not the key, but the real key is to solve their corpse control methods!"
Yellow Dog looked at the burned scarecrow, his face was very solemn, for the fledgling Li Tai'an, this kind of opponent is indeed not very friendly.
"Do you ever feel like it's too quiet at this time?!"
Li Tai'an looked at the yellow dog and drew his long knife again.
At this time, Xingxian County has entered the curfew time, and there are a large number of officials patrolling the streets on the street, although Li Tai'an and Huanggou have controlled the movement to a minimum, but if someone really passes by, they will still hear the movement.
But just now, not only did no one hear their fight, but they also didn't hear the movement of the guards and servants in the streets.
A man and a dog glanced at each other and wanted to rush to the gate of Yizhuang behind them, but a baby cry came out again.
In a blink of an eye, Li Tai'an and Yellow Dog came from the Yizhuang compound to the Yizhuang.
The coffin that was placed began to shake violently under the surprised eyes of Li Tai'an and Yellow Dog.
A fresh breeze blew, and the lit candles went out.
Li Tai'an subconsciously took a step back and stepped on the waterhole.
When I looked down, I saw blood all over the floor.
At the same time, the yellow dog did not know where to go, leaving Li Tai'an alone to stay where he was.
Looking up again, the four coffins had already landed, and three men and a child walked out of the coffins and surrounded Li Tai'an.
"It's dry, watch out for the candles! The time has come. ”
The time of the day, when the yin energy is at its peak, is also the time when ghosts haunt.
The yang energy between heaven and earth has disappeared, and all unclean things have ushered in their home field.
