Chapter 30: Return to Niushou Village
Intuition tells Xiaoyu that the real situation should be the second ...... He and Sima Yang have a "tail" behind them, and this tail chased all the way from Niushou Village to Fayuan Temple, attracting reinforcements and killing people!
Otherwise, how could it suddenly burst into flames, and the army suddenly appeared in front of him, this posture ..... It's more like an ambush than a march!
But..... Who is this "tail"?
Xiaoyu can't think of it even if she wants to break her brain, the biggest suspect ...... Naturally, it was the little ghost fairy who escaped from drilling that day.
But..... The poisonous bait in the little ghost fairy's body, and the paper mouse in Sima Yang's hand, were originally a talisman, in other words, if the little ghost fairy looked for death and followed him all the way, Sima Yang couldn't perceive it without moving!
Could it be that in the Yuan Mansion that day, in addition to the little ghost fairy who escaped from the well, there were also fish that slipped through the net? Secretly followed and followed, and after knowing that Xiaoyu and Sima Yang lived in Fayuan Temple, they hurriedly went to the barracks to report the news, and then Yuan Pingzhang's army chased and killed them all the way to this point? This is really hard to say!
After burning down the Fayuan Temple, the army began to search everywhere like a devil entering the village, with the Fayuan Temple as the core, brandishing swords and soldiers, searching everywhere......
You can see it..... They didn't find Xiaoyu and Sima Yang in the temple, so they refused to give up.
The brothers quickly transferred, and Sima Yang proposed that Yuan Pingzhang's army had already been killed, and it was not appropriate to go to Niushou Village again.
Xiaoyu put forward the opposite view, he believes that it is necessary to adopt reverse thinking, this moment ..... It is precisely Niushou Village that is the safest!
Since the enemy is able to achieve "precision strikes," it means that there is a "tail"! Since there is a "tail," there is no possibility of keeping the facial information secret.
It is estimated that the portraits of the two have been plastered all over the streets and alleys of various states and counties, and they are actually important criminals who are being arrested, in this situation...... Where do you want to go?
Although Niushou Village is the eye of the vortex of the storm, the situation has spread, and it is no longer the object of high suspicion of the enemy! The danger is precisely the surrounding area! Unless you are so good, you can fly across the Yellow River in one breath, leave the Jin Kingdom, and go to the Great Liang of the Central Plains!
After getting along for such a period of time, Xiaoyu has become the backbone of the team with his "strength" and courage, and in the case of crisis, Sima Yang also trusts his words!
So..... The two brothers, with a high degree of vigilance, made a big circle, shook off the soldiers who were searching behind them, and then began to advance in the direction of Niushou Village.
In this process, one point has been verified! That is, there is only one "tail"! If there are two "tails", one squatting and the other reporting the news, and monitoring Xiaoyu and Sima Yang all the time, it will be a bad thing! Fortunately, things are not so bad!
As the saying goes, a single person does not fight for power! No matter how good your martial arts are, you are also a mortal in the flesh, and it is nonsense in front of thousands of troops! Don't say that you will know any Taoist charms, fire dragon divine orders and other things, Sima Yang made it clear that these things are useless to human beings, they can only be used to deal with dirty evil ghosts and monsters, if you issue a spell to people, not only will it have no effect, but you will also be revoked from now on because of deceiving the gods, and it will not work if you use it again in the future!
Along the way, the two brothers did not encounter the army of the Yuan family again, and successfully arrived at Niushou Village, and the sky was ...... It was also completely lit up.
However, what surprised them both was...... The entire Niushou village was empty, not to mention people, and the livestock and poultry in the fenced yard were gone.
In the past, the scene of the bustling and lively caravan inn was gone, and Niushou Village really became a ghost village! But it did not look like it had suffered a military disaster, and the farmhouses and houses were not damaged.....
Thinking about it, it is possible that Yuan Pingzhang ordered the people of the entire Niushou Village to move and not be allowed to continue to live here.
Xiaoyu curiously uncovered the street ..... The lid of the pot for stewing braised pork soup was so disgusting that I almost didn't spit it out, so I quickly covered it again.
The "species" inside has mutated, and the imaginary "reverse transformation" has indeed become a reality. I really don't know, the next day, how will the people in this village feel when they see such a situation stewed in their pot?
Then look at the garbage heap on the side of the street...... Those scattered bones felt ..... in a trance This Niushou Village is like an inn in the underworld.
Especially this morning is a big cloudy day, gray sky, drizzle, the village is shrouded in a thin mist, although it does not affect the visibility, but it makes this empty village look even more gloomy and eerie!
Sima Yang proposed, although it is not clear whether the ghost lady and the corpse in the mountain are the same thing, but you might as well use her as a starting point to track the clues of the little ghost fairy and see ..... What can be explored?
He has a unique skill, that is, he can control the little paper mouse and track it all the way..... And in his mind, he formed a picture along the way, and he "saw" the scenery in Yuan's mansion at the beginning, relying on this skill.
This is actually equivalent to an "endoscope", Xiaoyu is thinking, instead of sneaking into the mountains to steal the cave and take risks, it is better to let Sima Yang do a "biopsy" in advance, and find out the bottom, it is much safer!
So the two returned to the Yuan Mansion, and the situation in the Yuan Mansion was ..... Naturally, it was devastated, dilapidated and desolate, with ruins and broken walls, and houses burned in a mess!
In the ruins of the houses, there are still a lot of ..... The niche of the spirit card that has not been burned clean is black and dense and abrupt, giving people a very disgusting sense of bad luck!
I came to the inconspicuous little well again, still stinking, in this windless morning, the fishy smell howled, especially smoking! The small temple had been burned clean, pickled and scorched, but the fire in Yuan's mansion did not affect the pine and cypress in the backyard.
Sima Yang sat on the ground under a cypress tree, took out the little paper mouse in the blanket, and blew with a sigh..... The thief ran towards the well behind the ruins of the small temple.
"Brother Zhu, ...... next I want to be preoccupied with the mercury boy, I can't be distracted from dealing with my surroundings, you must take care of my body, so as not to be attacked by dirty evils," Sima Yang said.
"Well, Brother Sima, don't worry!" Xiaoyu nodded.
With Brother Zhu by his side, Sima Yang closed his eyes boldly with confidence, made a gesture of Taoist mantra with both hands, put it on his chest, and gradually fell into a state of "entering the state".
Xiaoyu was guarding beside him, holding the Feiqiong Sword in one hand, and the Nine Yin Buckle on the other arm, and the two ghosts of Qingyang secretly helping, it can be said that the attack and defense are one, and his heart is also full of confidence!
Nothing at first..... Sima Yang sat there motionless, like a Buddha statue, but after more than ten minutes, Xiaoyu found that fine sweat had oozed from his forehead and sideburns, and the green tendons on his temples were still bulging, and his brows were frowning, obviously nervous to the extreme!
At this moment, Sima Yang has completely settled down, and it is not convenient to ask him, Xiaoyu is curious in his heart, and his eyes are still vigilantly scanning the surroundings! Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, although it is daytime, and it is not in the mountains, the risk probability is much lower, but ..... Be cautious and beware of unexpected situations!
Over time..... Sima Yang's expression became more and more complicated, sometimes opening his mouth in horror, his body was still trembling, and his heart was pounding...... Sometimes it is relaxing and soothing, with a long exhalation. It felt like the rat exploring the intricate sewers.
On the night of the burning of Yuan's mansion, Xiaoyu remembered that Sima Yang let the rats run while leading himself to the backyard, seeming to ..... It's not like now, the body can't move at all.
Estimated ..... His stunt is also the same as the out-of-body spirit. If the distance is short, it is completely possible to open the divine sense, but if it is ..... If the distance is longer, the divine consciousness will have to be completely bet on the mouse.
What the rat has experienced, he is also like being there, so he ..... will have such a startled behavior now!
It stands to reason that even if it is cloudy, as the sun gradually rises, not to mention that the fog will slowly fade, at least the sky will appear brighter.
But this morning, the sky has been overcast and shows no signs of brightening......
By the time it was almost ten o'clock, the drizzle had stopped, and the fog was gradually thickening!
Originally, when I first entered the village, the fog in Niushou Village did not matter and did not affect the visibility at all, but with the end of the drizzle, the fog suddenly became thicker, and the visibility also plummeted.
This is especially true in pine and cypress, where the hazy mist engulfs everything, and the visibility drops from a dozen meters to ...... in an instant. Even the ruins of a small temple not far away can't be seen clearly. In the end, Xiaoyu felt that he and Sima Yang were completely in the clouds, and they could only see each other!
This feeling is very bad and makes Xiaoyu have a strong ..... It seems that the two of them have been targeted by demons and are imperceptibly killing people with "soft knives"!
The fog is obscured, you can't see, and you don't have a sense of security, Xiaoyu remembered the "filter" function that the Guanyin jade pendant has, so she picked it up and put it in front of her to observe. When he sees clearly...... When the picture behind the "lenses", I couldn't help but be shocked and gasped!
