Chapter 210: Entering Fengmen Village
Chapter 210
At night, in the wilderness.
The excited shouts of the bandits echoed through the barren fields.
"Men and children are all killed, there are women who keep women, and there are no women who only need animals!"
With the words of the bandits, the rich smell of blood mixed with urine and urine approached with the night wind.
When these robbers were excited that they had robbed a group of fat sheep tonight, Cao Dazong's screams sounded out inopportunely in this vicious laughter one after another.
The old man's terrible voice was like a signal.
The sound of shouting 'ghosts' spread in the mountains, and all the bandits who were rushing towards the carriage subconsciously raised their heads—only to see that under the dim light, black clouds suddenly converged above the roof of the carriage.
Countless strange black shadows scrambled out on the roof of the car, and under the faint light, these black shadows quickly sprouted, and in an instant, they bloomed into a strange flower the size of a bowl.
“……”
The bandits, who were originally holding knives and axes, were stunned when they saw this bizarre scene.
The sudden growth of strange plants on the roof of the carriage and the instant flowering were already very strange and terrifying in itself.
It was red and black, with a creepy and deadly allure.
But the most terrifying thing is not just the flowering.
As soon as these flowers appeared, a red mist suddenly lingered above the flowers.
The red mist seemed to be like a bead of blood, gradually converging, and then condensed into the figure of a thin girl of five or six years old, sitting in mid-air.
The child was very thin, his face was pale, and his long hair was scattered all around his body.
She was dressed in white, and her bare feet stepped among the flowers, the crimson flowers splashing their juice and dyeing the edges of her dress red.
“……”
All the bandits were dumbfounded, and nameless fear instantly snatched their hearts.
"Hee-hee-"
The little girl's laughter rang in everyone's ears.
But the child standing among the flowers with his hair draped was expressionless, looking coldly at these bandits who came out of the day and night.
'Bang bang-' these people's hearts are thundering.
Under the shadow of death, everyone's body reacts faster than the brain.
The knives and axes they were holding in their hands fell to the ground, and everyone's footsteps froze in place, and after a while, someone finally took the lead in reacting and shouted:
"What the hell—"
The screams had just come out of the scream, and then everyone heard the sound of tapping behind them:
'Knock knock! ’
The voice came from the back.
The faces of the bandits who were still full of fear before instantly turned pale, as if all the blood had faded at this moment.
Everyone's eyes lost their luster and their expressions became stiff and weird.
"Crossing the Yellow Spring, Going to ......"
The bandits said in unison, and then the men paused for a moment, and then suddenly lifted their legs and walked slowly towards the carriage like puppeteers, with a very different pace than when they had galloped before.
'Click! Click! Click! ’
In the sound of trampling grass, these bandits, who usually robbed houses and houses and caused trouble to nearby villages, suddenly their bodies were like disintegrating building blocks at the moment they approached the carriage, and they were scattered all over the ground and turned into rancid dry bones.
"Hee-hee-hee-"
The children's cheerful laughter sounded, as if they were in a very good mood.
The carriage was so quiet that you could hear a needle dropping.
The shouting and shouting of killing outside had disappeared, and the faint smell of blood mixed with the fear and despair before death lingered around the carriage.
The strange ghost flowers blooming on the roof of the car disappeared one by one, and the figure of Kuai Manzhou, who had eliminated the bandits, froze in mid-air for half a moment, and then turned into blood mist and disappeared into mid-air.
The blood beads gathered in the carriage and turned into a little girl and snuggled up to Zhao Fusheng's side.
"Hee-hee."
The child's laughter was still ringing, and Kuai Manzhou put his face on Zhao Fusheng's arm with a happy face, leaned his head against her, and looked at Cao Dazong with a pair of big dark eyes.
Cao Dazong was a bold child before, but at this time, he saw the scene of her mysterious disappearance and strange appearance, and when she saw it, he was so frightened that he was scared.
A pair of legs kicked weakly on the ground, even if his back was against the carriage, he still tried to get farther away from Kuai Manzhou.
The officer outside the carriage did not see the change of Kuai Manzhou, but he saw the bandit rushing out from the front, who was obviously fierce and vicious, but in the blink of an eye, the man with the long axe froze.
The axe in his hand loosened—
The handle of the long axe was tied to his wrist with a blood-soaked brown sweat scarf, and as soon as he let go, the axe fell and slammed into his chest.
But the person didn't seem to feel the pain.
The axe fell from his chest, bound by a sweat towel and hanging down at his knee.
The bandit stiffened forward, and the axe struck him with a 'thud' sound.
Amid the strange laughter of the child in the middle of the night, the man approached the carriage slowly, and when he walked in front of the officer, his body immediately turned into dry bones and thick water, and his round head fell to the ground with a 'poof'.
"Hell, ahhhh
When the officer saw this, he was so frightened that he almost fell off the carriage.
"Stop howling!"
In the carriage, Zhao Fusheng shouted lightly:
"Keep on your way."
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" Cao Dazong, who was so frightened, suddenly reacted when he heard Zhao Fusheng speak.
Prompted by the great desire to survive, he didn't know where to get his strength, turned over and fell to his knees, and kowtowed loudly with a bang:
"The ghost lady spares her life, and the ghost fairy spares her life."
The Han Dynasty was rampant with powerful ghosts, so there was the existence of the Demon Suppression Division.
However, even though most of the people in villages and towns have been paying a high 'protection fee' all their lives, many people have no idea how the Demon Suppression Division's Lingsi can exorcise ghosts and what kind of supernatural powers they have.
Cao Dazong knew more about the methods of the Demon Suppression Division than the ordinary people in the villages and towns, but he only vaguely heard that these people were extraordinary, moody, and could kill people if they didn't agree with each other.
But knowing that the people of the Demon Suppression Division are extraordinary, and witnessing Kuai Manzhou's attack are two different things.
Watching a living person disappear and reorganize in a strange way had a great impact on Cao Dazong, and it subverted his previous cognition.
He was full of trepidation, worried that he had snooped on a terrible secret and might be killed by the Demon Suppression Division.
The old man kept prostrating and shouting:
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives."
"What nonsense!" Zhao Fusheng raised his voice and scolded:
"No one wants your life, and the bandits blocking the road are all dead, hurry up and rush to the closed gate village as soon as possible."
Cao Dazong's mind had long been shrouded in fear.
Everything that happened tonight exceeded his expectations, and he couldn't listen to what Zhao Fusheng said at this time, but he was afraid of dying at the hands of powerful ghosts.
"Don't kill me—"
Zhao Fusheng couldn't bear it anymore and was about to get up, but Wu Shaochun said:
"I'm coming!"
As soon as his voice fell, he raised his hand and slapped Cao Dazong with a loud face:
"Are you awake?"
In the crisp sound of 'pop', Cao Dazong was beaten to the ground, although his head was beaten to 'buzz', but the whole person was much more sober.
"My lord, I don't dare to say it, the secret of the ghost girl-"
"This is originally my means of suppressing demons, what can't be said?!"
Zhao Fusheng scolded:
"My Demon Suppression Division uses ghosts to exorcise ghosts, and I don't have knowledge, what are you afraid of."
When she shouted like this, Cao Dazong was stunned.
Wu Shaochun was also afraid of ghosts.
Kuai Manzhou is a ghost master, he knows in his heart, and it is not the first time he has seen Kuai Manzhou use powerful ghost methods, but Zhao Fusheng is here, and the composure she shows gives him great courage, and this courage overcomes fear.
At this time, what Zhao Fusheng said made him feel proud in his heart, and for the first time, he felt that the little girl was not only not scary, but extremely majestic.
The two of them are envoys, and maybe he will have such a beautiful time in the future.
When he thought about it like this, he was even more afraid in his heart, but said to Cao Dazong with a smile:
"Did you hear what the adults said? That's how our Demon Suppression Division handles cases, it's easy to deal with ghosts, what are you afraid of when dealing with a few thieves? ”
"The old man who has no knowledge, the adult's methods are not afraid of you, let him continue to hurry." Wu Shaochun said.
Cao Dazong trembled, and he turned his head to secretly look at Kuai Manzhou.
The child hugged Zhao Fusheng's arm and pressed his face against her, this appearance was no different from that of an ordinary shy child, and he did not see the previous weird horror at all.
And Zhao Fusheng sat back in his place, his expression was calm, Wu Shaochun was half-legged, looking at him - everyone in the whole carriage seemed to be very calm, only he was the only one who didn't know much and made a fuss.
He thought of how before he went to the Demon Suppression Division, Pang Zhixian warned him: Lord Zhao and Kuai Xiaoling must serve well, Lord Zhao is the lord of Wan'an County.
——At this time, Cao Dazong finally understood what the reason for Pang Zhixian's prudence was.
The Demon Suppression Division is mainly focused on ghost cases.
In the past, the village town under the rule of the county government couldn't distinguish the ability of the Demon Suppression Division at all, and only knew that these big men had a high status, and the taxes were extraordinarily heavy, and they did not dare to default, and then Cao Dazong realized the horror of the Demon Suppression Division, and the reason why the county government did not dare to default on the taxes of the Demon Suppression Division.
"Clear, understood, yes, yes."
Realizing this, his attitude changed suddenly, and he quickly turned around and shouted:
"Tie the son, hurry, hurry up, go to Fengmen Village, the lord said-"
"But these bandits—just—"
The officer was nervous, but he did not dare to turn around.
He had just heard Cao Dazong talking to everyone, and at this time he didn't know what was going on in the carriage, and he was afraid that if he turned his head and saw something terrifying, he would lose his life.
"What do you care about him, these mountain bandits have angered the adults, and they have been cleaned up by the adults, go to Fengmen Village."
Cao Dazong wiped his sweat frequently at this time, he was frightened, and he was afraid that the errand who was driving the car would be rubbing, which would make the people of the Demon Suppression Division unhappy, so he hurriedly urged.
The messenger who drove the car was apprehensive, but when he saw that he was about to curse, he had to endure his anxiety and wave his long whip.
The horses raised their hooves again, and the wheels ran over the dead man's bones with a 'creak' sound.
The thick liquid of the corpses was squeezed and splashed by the wheel hair, and it was terrifying to hear.
No one in the carriage dared to speak again.
After that, everyone stopped talking, and Cao Dazong was terrified all the way.
He was not only afraid of encountering bandits again, but also afraid of the sudden change of Kuai Manzhou, and frequently hallucinated under fear, always feeling that the carriage was full of blood, and the soft laughter of the children next to him was endless.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way.
After more than an hour, there was finally no avenue ahead, only some ridges and trails crisscrossed.
The errand road of the car:
"Adults, the car can only be parked here." After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would be angry, so he hurriedly explained:
"The carriage ahead can't go any further."
Several people got out of the car one after another.
Cao Dazong climbed out of the carriage, he was old, and it was already very difficult to run all the way, plus he was frightened on the way, and he had not passed out at this time, so it can be seen that this old man is indeed very psychologically good.
Wu Shaochun dragged him out, he trembled and lay on the front of the car, and the servants on the side were frightened when they saw his dying appearance, and pinched others.
After that, there was still some distance to the village, everyone carried the lamp forward, and walked for about an hour, and Cao Dazong, who was supported by Wu Shaochun, said loudly:
"The closed door village has arrived."
In the darkness, rows of houses formed a huge village and appeared in front of everyone.
'Wang-'
Dogs barked in the village, and the originally quiet village seemed to come to life in an instant.
"Who?!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, the villages in the distance quickly realized that outsiders were coming.
This time there was a great deal of banditry, plundering villages and towns, and many villages also organized their own patrols.
When a few people from the Demon Suppression Division came, they didn't stop their voices, and they lit the lamps again, and as soon as they approached, they had already aroused the vigilance of the people in the village.
What's more, the government has been moving frequently recently, and the bandit nest in the mountains is also vigilant, and the time spent staring at the village has increased recently, and the number of times has increased, making the people in the village a little frightened and more alert than usual.
"It's from Changtiao Town, the fourth elder of the Cao family!"
Cao Dazong, who was about to die before, finally reluctantly lifted his spirits after walking this way, and heard a shout from the village in the distance, and also shouted.
Hearing his voice on the other side, he seemed to be relieved.
'Woohoo. ’
The sound of dogs barking and footsteps sounded, someone lit a lantern, and the errand officer in charge of guarding this place in Changtiao Town also appeared, and a large group of people surrounded Zhao Fusheng and several people.
The first one looked about fifty years, and was in strong shape.
He wore a pair of shabby straw sandals, his trouser legs were pulled up to his calves, he carried a torch in his hand, and glanced at Zhao Fusheng and the others with vigilant eyes, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Dazong.
Then he looked puzzled:
"Fourth Master Cao, it's really you, it's been the middle of the night, how are you-"
"Who are these outlanders?"
Cao Dazong did not lie before.
His father and father used to be errand servants in Nagajo Town, and when he was young, he went to the countryside with his grandfather and father to collect taxes, and when he inherited the status of a servant, he often went to the countryside himself.
Especially recently, because of Guo Wei's matter, he rushed to Fengmen Village from time to time, and the people in the village were very familiar with him, and there was no doubt after seeing him at this time.
But at this time, he was already old, how could he suddenly come to the village with a few foreigners with a few faces? she
"Don't talk nonsense!" Cao Dazong was originally angry, but when he saw this man pointing at Zhao Fusheng and a few others, his face suddenly changed greatly.
He straightened up and rebuked the man:
"Lin Laoba, if you don't know how to look at people, you can dig it out, what kind of foreigner, uninformed dog thing, this is Lord Zhao from the county, who came to ask Guo Wei for questioning!"
