Chapter 25: The River of Blood

Chen Ning's brows tightened, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately recited the Ning Heart Mantra silently.

"All living beings are troubled, and all troubles are suffering. Troubles are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increased nor decreased......"

The restless meat Tai Sui finally quieted down and shrank back into Chen Ning's body, although it was no longer so irritable, it still gave Chen Ning a strong sense of hunger.

What is it that is calling for Rou Tai Sui?

Chen Ning looked into the distance, pressed the hilt of the knife, and shouted loudly: "Old horse, come quickly!" ”

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

Ma Changsi walked through the corridor with two oil-paper umbrellas in his hand, and asked in a daze, "Brother Ning, what's wrong?" In such a hurry? ”

"Keep up."

Chen Ning glanced at him, didn't explain much, and rushed out with the knife.

The young man rushed into the pouring rain, his steps were fast, he rushed out of the county gate, and went straight to the southwest.

"Huh? Brother Ning, umbrella! You're wearing an umbrella! ”

Ma Changsi took out the oil-paper umbrella under his arm and raised it, but Chen Ning didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't mean to turn back at all, and his figure had disappeared into the rain curtain.

"What's going on?"

Ma Changsi also realized that Chen Ning's abnormal behavior, he didn't have time to open an umbrella, so he could only grit his teeth and follow Chen Ning into the rain with an umbrella.

……

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already pouring.

The heavy rain made the sky and the earth hazy, and the night road, which was already not easy to walk, was even more muddy, and the pedestrians on the road took shelter from the rain.

Thundered!

The deafening thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the silver snake danced wildly, tearing through the night sky and illuminating the city.

In the rain curtain, the figures of the two teenagers galloped, crashed into the rain curtain, and the rain splashed everywhere.

Since Ma Changsi asked Chen Ning and saw that he didn't answer, he knew that something must have happened, so he also stiffened his face and tried his best to keep up.

Although he was a little out of breath, he did not complain in the slightest.

Chen Ning's expression was solemn, and some strange feelings rose in his heart.

He had a different feeling about the rainy night, he couldn't describe it, and if he really insisted on explaining it, he was terrified with anger.

In short, every rainy night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well.

If you close your eyes, your mother's weeping face will surely appear in your dreams.

He doesn't like rainy nights, and he doesn't like the smell of blood.

The two of them ran three streets, directly through most of the small city, Chen Ning had no intention of stopping, but Ma Changsi was panting so hard that he couldn't run.

"Ning, Brother Ning, wait!"

Ma Changsi gasped, slowed down, and shouted, "Let, where are we going?" Me, I can't run anymore! ”

"Here we are."

Chen Ning's footsteps also slowed down, he gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and stared at the corner in front of him with a frown.

The front is called "Qianlong Lane", it is said that there was a general who was born here before joining the army, and after joining the army, he became famous, and was named "General of Qianlong", returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and spent his old age here.

This alley was renamed Qianlong Lane and became a place where rich and noble families gathered.

Later, the people who lived here were either rich or noble, and it can be said that they were all noble and noble, and there was no white ding.

At this time, Chen Ning stared at the corner of the Hidden Dragon Alley, and the meat in his chest became more and more irritable, and he could only rely on constantly chanting Ning's heart mantra to suppress it.

Ma Changsi quickly gasped a few times, shrugged his nose, and exclaimed, "Brother Ning, do you smell it, it's so strong!" ”

"Smelled."

Chen Ning frowned, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and his eyes fell on the rain around the corner.

Wisps of crimson scarlet shimmered from the rain and flowed slowly, staining the surrounding stone slabs red.

"Be careful. Behind me, don't make a sound. ”

Chen Ning put the knife in front of him, stepped on the rain, and slowly approached the corner.

Ma Changsi also held his breath, tried to calm his breathing, and pulled out a long knife to follow.

The two of them stepped forward and one after the other, stepping on the rain of blood, turning the corner of the street and looking at the wide street ahead.

In the rain, a body in a soap robe could be seen lying messily on the ground, either missing arms or heads.

Blood trickled down the wound and stained the entire street.

There was an eerie silence, and despite the rivers of blood, no one was wailing and screaming.

In the pile of caught catches that had fallen to the ground, two twisted figures stood.

A bulging human figure, with a white dress stained with blood, fluttering clothes, and snow-white skin like a fairy.

However, there was a swarthy hole in the mouth and nose of "her", only a blood-colored light came from the depths of the hole, and the bloody red flesh in the palm of her hand climbed on the two people in front of her.

This is not a fairy, but a human-skinned ghost.

The two people in front of "her" are two girls, one of whom Chen Ning knows, is the daughter of the Hu family in the west of the city, the famous eldest lady, and when she reaches the age of getting married, the admiration and discussion of young people are indispensable.

The other was brightly dressed and wearing heavy makeup, and the makeup on his face was washed away by the rain and grimaced.

Although she didn't know her, with the clothes on her body, Chen Ning could recognize that she should be the girl in the Qinglou.

Qingxi County has a green building, a drunken flower building.

Then this girl should be from the Drunken Flower Building.

Now, both of them were wrapped in the flesh and blood of the ghost, and a red-glowing object floated on their chests, sucking the life out of their bodies, and their skin shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Blood-red qi surged out of their bodies, condensing into a twisted and struggling flesh pill as the object rotated.

This ghost is refining raw pills.

"What a guts!"

Chen Ning gasped, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Attack on the street and kill more than a dozen fast catchers, and then refine the raw pill.

Compared with the previous sneaky crimes, this ghost has a completely different style, which can be said to be bold!

This is a blatant disregard for the Yamen and the Zhenxuan Division.

And beside the ghost, there was a bare-skinned evil creature lying on its stomach, sniffing for something.

It was a resentful corpse.

The resentful corpse crawled over the body of the fallen catcher, and when he saw the catcher who was still gasping, he opened his bloody mouth, revealing sharp canine teeth, and tore open the man's throat, and then disemboweled, ripped out his heart and devoured it.

"Brother Ning, yes, it's a ghost thing......"

Ma Changsi was so frightened that his face trembled, and he hurriedly retracted his head and whispered: "These two ghosts are together, we are not opponents, let's withdraw first......"

He had seen ghosts and resentful corpses, and understood their arrogance, and he didn't plan to be tough.

Chen Ning pondered slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm watching here, you immediately go to Zhenxuansi to inform Master Xiang." ”

"But if I bring Master Xiang back, and you are no longer there, how can I find you?"

Ma Changsi shook his head, "Brother Ning, it's too dangerous here, you better go back with me first and invite Master Xiang to ......"

"I have a way."

Chen Ning took out the locust leaf from his arms, although the locust leaf had been away from the tree for two days, it was still verdant and vibrant.

"This is the locust leaf of the old locust at the entrance of the alley, if I leave with them, I will let the old locust guide you."

As he spoke, he whispered twice to the acacia leaf, and the voice of the old acacia immediately came from the acacia leaf, "Lord Chen Ning, what do you command?" ”

"I have something I want to ask you for now."

Chen Ning whispered the story quickly, and Lao Huai swore after hearing it, "Lord Chen Ning, don't worry, Lao Huai, I have no other ability, and no one can spread a message in this Qingxi County." ”

"Good ......"

Ma Changsi's face hesitated, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Ning waving his hand, "Go quickly, you can't delay." ”

"Brother Ning, you have to be careful and careful."

Ma Changsi sighed lowly, and could only tell him, turned around and left quietly.

And Chen Ning stood on the corner of the street, watching the actions of the two ghosts.

The two ghosts have a clear division of labor, the ghost is responsible for refining the two girls into a life pill, and the resentful corpse is responsible for killing all the trappers and devouring the heart.

There is a strange thing, it is that whenever Chen Ning sees those two raw pills, the meat in his chest will be restless, and even if he recites Ning's heart mantra, there is a tendency to be unable to suppress it.

"Lord Chen Ning, what's wrong with you?"

Huai Ye flew beside him, and seeing Chen Ning's body trembling from time to time, he asked suspiciously.

"It's okay, don't make a noise so as not to be discovered."

Chen Ning took a deep breath and silently recited Ning's mantra over and over again, and his speed became faster and faster.

After a while, the ghost finished refining the two raw pills, and let out a hoarse and low voice, "Go!" ”

The resentful corpse was still devouring its internal organs, and when it heard the call, it reluctantly raised its head to keep up with the ghost's pace.

"Let's go, Lao Huai, you are optimistic."

Chen Ning watched the two figures rush up to the eaves, drifting away in the rain, and hurriedly followed from the corner.

He first took a cursory look at the colleagues who fell to the ground, this was the team led by Da Chun and Tietou, and Wang Hu was not among them.

A total of eleven people were killed.

Da Chun and Er Niu are both round-eyed and dead.

Chen Ning's heart was extremely heavy, and he felt a little out of breath.

In the past, although these colleagues did not have such a deep affection, they were also acquaintances who worked together, looked down and did not look up, and when they all died in front of them, they were unable to save them.

There was a feeling of powerlessness from drowning.

For a moment, Chen Ning had an impulse in his heart, wanting to rush forward with a knife and fight to the death with those two ghosts!

But, he can't.

Whether it is reason or the hatred and responsibility on his back, he is reminded to be calm at all times.

"Da Chun, rest in peace Erniu, I will definitely avenge you."

Chen Ning's palm slowly brushed over the faces of the two colleagues, closing their eyes.

He got up again to look at the two girls, who had already been sucked into dried corpses, and had no life.

"Ghost ......"

Chen Ning secretly clenched his fists, hurriedly got up, and chased in the direction where the ghost thing had just disappeared.

But as soon as he took two steps, he heard a strange laugh from the wall.

"I said why it didn't want to leave, and I always told me that it smelled the breath of the living, and it turned out that someone was really following us."

I saw that above the wall, the white clothes were fluttering, the white face of the human-skinned ghost, the hollow mouth was cracked, and in the black hole hole in the eye sockets, a little scarlet stared at Chen Ning, as if making fun of him.

"Xiao Catch, you are really not afraid of death, you dare to catch up? It's too long, isn't it? ”

The human-skin ghost landed lightly, staring at Chen Ning and smiling.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound behind her, and the resentful corpse landed on all fours, and as the human skin ghost fell, all the whites of his eyes were full, and only a little dark eyes stared at Chen Ning, stretching out his half-foot-long tongue and licking his lips.

The two ghost creatures exuded endless killing intent, approaching Chen Ning.

"Oh no, Lord Chen Ning, let's go, let's go!"

The locust leaves flew in the rain curtain and urged anxiously.

"Leaving your back to the enemy is the only way to die, and in this case, you can't escape."

Chen Ning was silent, slowly pulled out the horizontal knife, and held it horizontally in front of him, "Lao Huai, if something really happens to me, help me bring a message to Lord Xiang, the righteous son is not filial, and he can't provide for his old man." ”

As he spoke, he leaned down and fixed his eyes on the two ghosts in front of him.

"Huh?"

When the human skin ghost saw Chen Ning's face clearly, the scarlet in his eyes flickered twice, and he muttered, "Little head catcher? How could it be you? ”
