As night fell, Wang Qilin went on the road alone.

In order to increase the chance of drawing out the corpse, he and Xie Toad went separately.

Anyway, both of them can deal with the doll-level clean corpse.

For this reason, he didn't even bring Hachimeow and Ninety-six, because Tengu and Gencat can ward off evil spirits, and they took these two little things on the road together, and they didn't dare to show up for fear of purifying the corpse.

Xu Da handed him a talisman of summoning soldiers, waved his hand at his back behind him and said, "Seventh Master, don't be reckless when you encounter danger, hurry up and release the talisman." Even if you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, as long as you get the letter, you will definitely go to you!"

Wang Qilin raised a middle finger at him without looking back.

Xu shouted: "No thanks, Seventh Master, what are you polite to my blind chicken?"

Eight Meow and Nine-Six huddled together to watch him leave, and seeing that he didn't look back, the two glanced at each other, and ran back with their shoulders hooked in advance.

It's cold!

Hurry up and get on the fire!

Eight Meow and Nine Six sat side by side in front of the campfire, straightened up and stretched out their paws, and roasted happily.

Outside the countryside, in the wilderness.

The winter nights are exceptionally quiet, with small insects pupating, migratory birds flying south, snakes and frogs hibernating, rabbits, mice and foxes all hiding in their nests, and those who did not hide in the nests are eaten.

In short, Wang Qilin walked in the snow, and all he walked there was only the crunch of his feet stepping on the snow.

The sound came far away.

Empty.

Long.

Xie Toad once said that demons and evil spirits can sense the fear in people's hearts.

Wang Qilin wanted to lure the corpse out as soon as possible, so he created panic in his heart.

He recalled the experience of walking at night when he was a child, and the archway villages were dense, and the cemeteries of various ethnic groups were also dense.

The countryside is full of trees, and often through a forest you can see a cemetery......

But he wasn't afraid!

I wasn't scared when I was a child, but now that I have advanced cultivation and a stunt, how can I be afraid?

Wang Qilin gave up this trick in frustration, and he thought about the goddess of liberty Chu Renmei that he had seen in his dream before, the old girl Sadako in the well, and the fancy staircase climbing Empress Jia Coconut......

These are even less scary, these three are too weak chickens for him, if the two sides meet without him making a move, Eight Meow and Nine-Six can tear these cuties alive.

Trying his best to achieve his goal, Wang Qilin became more and more depressed, he walked in the snow with his head down, and gradually realized that the atmosphere had changed.

Deserted.

Alone.

The night sky above him was pitch black, the endless white snow beneath his feet, the farmland that had been trimmed into a chessboard by the tenants, the red flowers and green grass, the winding rivers, the brilliant stars, all these things were gone.

Between heaven and earth, there is only pale white, and he is the only heterochromatic in white, the lonely heterochromia.

Something was faintly moving in the darkness, and there were intermittent vague traces in the surrounding wilderness.

There was a silent glide through the snow, silently following behind him.

The night wind that blew from between the barren hills became even more terrible, with a strange whistling sound, as if something was screaming.

The night breeze is also colder.

Wang Qilin took a sip of his robe, he hung the Yin Yang Fish Jade Pendant on his waist, and without the Jade Pendant to transform the cold into heat, his body became unprecedentedly cold.

He pulled his robe and craned his neck as he walked alone, and something in the darkness silently followed, as if his shadow was out of the control of his body......

Night.

Tail.

A panic subconsciously appeared, and the hairs on Wang Qilin's body stood up.

He hadn't felt like this in a long time, and he might have been scared in the past, but he would pretend that he was brave enough to give himself courage.

Tonight, he couldn't do that.

The number of things behind him seemed to increase, and he felt his back become heavy.

Just when he couldn't help but turn back, someone on a hill in front of him shouted, "Hey, brother, send a message!"

The dead silence between heaven and earth was thus broken.

Wang Qilin felt that the things chasing him behind him were hiding, but they did not give up following him, they were still staring at him, secretly watching him together, waiting for him to die when.

He didn't want to speak, but the people on the hill in front of him shouted louder: "Brother, are you all right? Do you see me? Are you fascinated by something? You can't hear me? Don't be afraid, I'll go and save you!"

There was a flash of fire on the hill, someone started a torch, and the night wind blew, and the flame on the torch fluttered left and right.

Wang Qilin was helpless and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I wasn't fascinated, it's just that it's cold, and I don't want to be poured cold wind into my stomach." ”

The man smiled and said: "Haha, that's okay, then brother, come here, it seems to have something on my side, grass and its milk legs, I was scared just now, I ran in a hurry, but I slipped and fell very badly, if I didn't see your torch, I would have scared myself to death." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qilin was stunned, my torch?

He looked behind him, and a beam of oily green ghost fire was floating not far behind.

Wang Qilin looked at it coldly, and the ghost fire floated in the direction of the side.

As if nothing happened, pretend.

It was as if I had just traveled with him by chance.

The ghost fire disappeared, and the man on the hill cried out again: "Brother, why did you extinguish your torch?

Wang Qilin sighed and said, "Don't bother Brother Laotai, I'm fine, it's just that the torch is burned out." ”

The man on the hill smiled: "That's good, that's good, then you be careful with your step, this section of the road on the dirt slope is not easy to walk, and I fell here." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Alas, I was so scared at that time, I always felt that something was following behind me, and I couldn't help but run." ”

"It's okay now, it's a blessing in disguise, I fell to the ground and saw you, otherwise I wouldn't dare to look back, and I wouldn't be able to see you, brother. ”

"Oh, you know why I don't dare to turn back, right? There are three treasures in the sky, the sun, moon and stars, and people have three treasures, and there is a treasure lamp on the top of this person's head and on both shoulders, and he doesn't dare to turn back casually when he walks at night, and he will extinguish a treasure lamp when you turn around......

He babbled as Wang Qilin walked down the hill.

On the top of the hill was a torch, and the light of the fire was very bright, revealing a figure shaking in a trance.

Wang Qilin carefully stepped on the frosty dirt road, and just as he reached the top of the hillside, his voice stopped abruptly.

But the wind was stronger.

The flames shook even more, and the figures on the ground shook even more.

Wang Qilin looked up and saw that a person was leaning stiffly in front of a small tree tied to a torch, this person's face was pale, his cheeks were red, and his lips were red, and his arms were stretched straight and facing the uphill road, as if he wanted to hug the person who was coming.

It's a paper figure.

The paper man's face is simply drawn, with two eyes that are two black ink spots, and a mouth that is large and scarlet.

He has no nose or ears, but he has a large cotton jacket and a pair of thick boots with rabbit skin sewn on his feet.

There is a lonely grave on the side of the road, the tomb is half-open, the frozen soil is messy, and a coffin is still horizontally outside, as if someone was going to dig a grave to bury the coffin, but halfway through the work, the cold can't stand it and throws down the coffin and goes home first.

The coffin is dark red in color.

The flames on the torches burned vigorously, and the color of the coffin became more and more red.

According to local customs, the elderly are mourned in a red coffin, but if the red on the coffin is cinnabar red, then the people in the coffin are not the mourning elderly.

It's evil inside!

Wang Qilin stretched out his hand and wiped it on the coffin, and there was vermilion powder on his hand.

"You're out of luck, young man ......"

A melodious voice came from the coffin.

The lid of the coffin shook slowly, as if something was about to come out of it.

Wang Qilin stepped on the coffin lid with one foot, and he sneered: "It's your bad luck, unlucky ghost! As soon as you spoke just now, Lao Tzu saw that you were not human!"

He has the cultivation of the five-grade realm and the power of the two bulls, and the coffin that can only be lifted by several big men is like an urn in his hand, he stepped on the coffin lid and reached out to carry the coffin, and smashed it on the ground to turn the coffin board upside down!

There were dead trees on the hillside, he took out his demon knife and cut some dead branches and threw them over, and picked up a torch to light it: "If you meet Lao Tzu tonight, you will be unlucky, and Lao Tzu will burn your soul and scatter it!"

A sturdy figure came out of the snow next to him, he roared and was about to speak, Wang Qilin raised his feet and stomped on the snow like flying, and instantly appeared in front of this figure like a sharp arrow.

The strong man saw a face appear in front of him for a moment, and he didn't react for a while!

Wang Qilin stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar and dragged him back, shouting: "Okay, another ghost comes out, then Lao Tzu will burn it for you together, so that you will not be lonely on Huangquan Road!"

The branches of the tree burned and crackled, and a terrible voice sounded in the coffin: "Master, don't light the fire, don't light the fire!" Master spares my life, I am not a ghost, we brothers are not ghosts, our brothers are human beings, they are really human beings!"

Wang Qilin said sharply: "Okay, you treacherous ghosts, and you still have to talk nonsense when you are dying?"

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!

He turned around and kicked out, his blood gushing, and his legs were like iron whips!

There was a muffled bang, and the cinnabar coffin was smashed to pieces!

Out of the coffin came a man with a short figure, who fell into the burning branch and howled, jumped up and hurried to roll in the snow.

Wang Qilin threw the strong man in his hand to the branch, but the strong man struggled but couldn't escape, and the crotch of his pants was quickly ignited by the fire.

The man with five short statures wanted to run away after extinguishing the fire on his body, but Wang Qilin chased after him and shouted: "Great power Tianlong, flying dragon is in the sky!"

The demon knife flew out with a roar, inserted into the man's crotch and nailed to the ground.

Suddenly, the five-short body almost became the four-short body!

The frozen ground is strong, not much worse than a rock, and the demon knife is halfway into the ground, and the man is stuck in his pants and can't escape at all.

Wang Qilin threw the strong man up, he pulled out the demon knife with a gloomy face and said sharply: "Say, what the hell are you two doing?"

The man with five short statures cried: "Master Mingjian, we are human beings, not ghosts!"

Wang Qilin shouted loudly: "When the matter comes, you dare to lie and confuse the people and try in vain to deceive this seat! And say that you are not ghosts? Don't you be able to see your true body when this seat is? You two are ghosts! Cowards!"

Strong men are smarter, and they kowtow when they kneel on the ground, and they are very real.

Wang Qilin danced with the demon knife and asked, "Honestly, what's the matter with the two of you?"

The five-short man trembled and said: "Back to the master's words, our two brothers are from Ruian Township, our family is poor, and there is no surplus food after the heavy snowfall, but there are eighty old mothers and eight-year-old children......"

"Aren't your old lady and child also ghosts, then I will come to the door and send them to the eighteenth layer of hell to see Yama together, so that your family will be neat!" Wang Qilin's voice was colder than the cold wind of a winter night.

The man shouted: "Master spare your life, spare your life, the villain tells the truth, the villain brother just wants to scare people here, because there is always a handlebar-type donkey cart passing here recently, so the villain brother wants to scare them to get some food." ”

"You two want to eat?" Wang Qilin frowned, "This request is quite unique." ”

"Food, Master, it's food, we want to get some food to eat. The man wiped his tears and said, "I'm dying of hunger, I can't help it, my brother has a lot of food, he has been hungry for two days, and he is going to starve to death!

"And we didn't dare to hurt people, we didn't dare to hurt people, we really didn't dare, we just wanted to scare people and get something to eat, conscience of heaven and earth, master, you go and inquire, our brothers have never stolen chickens and dogs in the village, they just went to steal other people's food!"

Wang Qilin said with a gloomy face: "Then how many people have you scared?"

The man with five short statures shook his head and said, "Not a single one, really, I just started doing this tonight......"

"Do you still dare to talk to me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The man with five short statures also began to kowtow, "The master really doesn't dare, this is the truth, our brothers also follow the learning after watching others do this, some people pretend to be frozen ghosts, just on the other road, they pretend to be frozen ghosts to scare people, and our brothers learn from them!"

"I just want to scare people away and get something to eat, my brother is so hungry, I can't help being a brother, it's useless!

Hearing that someone pretended to be a frozen ghost, Wang Qilin's heart moved, and asked, "Someone pretending to be a frozen ghost?"

"There are a lot of them, there are six people, and the leader is called Zhao Hutou, who has scared several people, and even grabbed a cart of frozen tofu!"

"Take me to them!"

"Huh?"

Wang Qilin immediately swung his knife, and the man with five short statures was missing a little finger.

These people pretend to be ghosts to scare the people and rob the road, and their hearts are unreppable but hateful!

So he was merciless.

The demon knife was too fast, the weather was too cold, the man didn't react for a while, he stared blankly at the falling fingers and the blood gushing out, and screamed violently.

Blood was scarlet and steaming.

"Next, I'll cut off your palms!" Wang Qilin said indifferently.

The strong man hurriedly dragged his companion up and walked forward with his head down.

The group of people pretending to be frozen to death committed the crime not very far from the hillside path, and they walked for about half an hour against the night wind.

The five short men told him that Sun Hutou was a nickname, he was a gangster, and he usually cheated and cheated and did all kinds of evil.

This time it snowed heavily, and he and his brothers saw a new way to make a fortune, that is, pretending to be frozen to death to rob the night travel.

The place chosen by this group is very gloomy, it is the intersection of a dead forest, and the two roads converge in the dry woods, which is relatively a traffic point.

The five short men and the two brothers just used a coffin to pretend to be ghosts, and Sun Hutou and the others were even more ruthless-

Frozen ghosts like to roast ghost fires, which seem to be vigorous, but the more they roast, the colder they get, and eventually they freeze to death.

In order to scare the traveling brigade and make the scene realistic, Sun Hutou led people to dig people's old graves and take the dry bones in the graves to burn!

This is a heinous crime, and Wang Qilin is ready to use them to lure the corpse.

Don't they like to pretend to be frozen to death?

Wang Qilin fulfilled their wish and let them do a fake show!

As a result, after they walked along the country road, a donkey cart appeared in front of them, with a white lantern pinned to the cart, and the cart staggered and came to them, so frightened that the strong man was about to kneel again.

Wang Qilin clenched the hilt of the knife and said in a deep voice: "Who is ahead?"

A young man's loud voice sounded in the car, saying: "I am a peddler with the old number of Wubao in Pingyang Prefecture, surnamed Zhou, but the brother in front of me is the person who shouted on the hillside just now?"

Wang Qilin asked, "What's wrong?"

The young man said: "Brother Tai, don't misunderstand, Zhou didn't have any bad intentions to talk to you in the middle of the night, but now the weather is not good, the sky is not good, and the night road is too difficult to walk. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Dare to let Brother Tai know that Zhou is going to Wugong Township along this road, and there is still about an hour and a half of the way, I don't know where you are going?"

The five short men hurriedly said: "It's a coincidence, we are also going in the direction of Wugong Township." ”

He saw that Wang Qilin was moody and cruel, and he was very worried that he would chop him up halfway, so he wanted to pull someone with him.

In his mind, if there are more people, this evil god may be more restrained.

Zhou chatted overjoyed and said: "This is great, walking at night is always scary, let's walk together will be much safer." ”

"Especially when I heard that there was a frozen ghost on the road ahead, it scared me that I had been hesitating to move forward just now, and I won't run away with you!"

Wang Qilin asked, "Who did you hear that there was a frozen ghost on the road ahead?"

Zhou Liao said: "It was said by a colleague of our old number, we met in Yuma County yesterday, and he told me the news when he learned that I was going to Wugong Township. ”

As if he was afraid that Wang Qilin would not believe it, he hurriedly added: "My colleague is the most well-informed, and he is famous in Pingyang Mansion, if you go to Tianquan Town to inquire about him, you will know that his nickname is Four Ears." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Since you know that there are frozen ghosts on the way to Wugong Township, why do you still want to go?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Liao's face showed a heavy look: "You brothers may not believe it, I have encountered something strange today." ”

"Originally, I came out of the county town in the morning, with several colleagues. Oh, you may not know, Wugong Township is a big place, there are a lot of people there, so business is good after the snow. ”

"Everything went smoothly on the road, but in the afternoon I was a little sleepy, so I squinted on the donkey cart, and guess what?"

"What's wrong?" asked the five-short man.

Zhou Liao said with a solemn expression: "I don't know how long I was confused, I couldn't find my colleagues after opening my eyes, the old donkey dragged me to a strange place, and I still had a lot of inquiries to find a new way to Wugong Township." ”

"But this will miss the time, otherwise I would have already roasted the fire in Wugong Township and ate the Jiao family's dry pot roasted fat chicken in the township!"

The five short men swallowed their saliva and said: "The Jiao family's dry pot roasted fat chicken is really amazing." ”

Zhou Liao said happily: "Who said no? Usually I eat frugally, just so that every time I go to Wugong Township, I can have a pot of Jiao's fat chicken." ”

As they talked, Zhou Chat turned around the donkey cart.

Wang Qilin glanced at the flames through the fire, and hurriedly said, "Slow!"

Zhou Liao asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Qilin pointed to the side railing of the donkey cart and said, "What is this on your car?"

Zhou Tan quietly took out a knife handle from under his buttocks, and said, "What happened to some wild vegetables that our host harvested after autumn?"

Wang Qilin said: "I'm not talking about what you pulled in the car, but let you see what's on the side windslide of the car!"

The five short men looked at it and said, "Did you use cinnabar to smear something on the car?

"No," Zhou Liao hurriedly jumped out of the car to see, a burlap was hanging on the donkey cart, and the burlap was blown by the wind, revealing a few bright red words.

He slammed the linen so that the side railings were exposed, and the torches shone past, and on them were seven crooked words:

Count your fate and fall asleep......

Under the flames, the seven characters were very red, and there were red marks on the handwriting, but they were all frozen.

The five-short man is illiterate, but he knows cinnabar well.

When he leaned up and reached out and touched the frozen red letters, he looked back at it, and looked at the red water in his hand and was stunned: "Yes, it's blood!"
