The little beggars bowed their heads when they heard this, and a child salivated at the sweet potato to speak, but was glared at by the eldest beggar and hurriedly retreated in fright.

Wang Qilin said: "You have a secret on you?"

Xu Da buried the sweet potatoes in the bonfire and roasted them, he took out half a roast chicken rack and roasted it on the flame, and soon chicken fat came out, the brown and red roast chicken skin was shiny, and the fragrance drilled into people's noses.

Wang Qilin asked again: "Some people say that this temple is haunted at night, what's the matter? Are you ghosts?"

The young man subconsciously said: "Naturally, we are not ghosts, we are living people!"

Wang Qilin said: "That's you pretending to be a ghost?"

The boy bowed his head in silence again.

In the end, a child couldn't help it and said: "Big brother and uncle, please give us something to stutter, I said everything, we are pretending to be ghosts, and we are holding torches to circle around this broken temple and pretending to be ghost fire." ”

Wang Qilin nodded.

Xu Da tore off the chicken and gave it to the little beggars, and the seven little beggars couldn't wait to stuff the chicken into their mouths and swallow it, shouting, "It's so fragrant!"

"Why do you pretend to be a ghost, and why don't you go to the city to beg for food when you're so hungry?"

The conversation box opened, and the teenagers scrambled to say:

"We pretend to be ghosts not to scare people, but to drill the ground to teach us, he said that if we pretend to be ghosts, there will be an official to save us, you are the official who came to the gods to say, right?"

"We can't go to the city, someone has arrested us, we were rescued by the Drill Immortals!"

"Yes, we were all arrested, they caught children and abducted children, I saw local children when I was in the dungeon......"

"We still have to wait for the official master here, the earth drill fairy said that the official master will come to us, are you the official master?"

"No, it's not waiting for the official to look for us, it's waiting for the official to come and save the earth fairy!"

Listening to the children's gossip, Wang Qilin's heart lifted.

Drill the gods?

Caught, caught and abducted, dungeons?

Waiting for the official to come and find him?

The child obviously has many secrets in them, and he needs to dig them up.

But this has to be done slowly, and you can't be in a hurry.

Xu Da took out the dough and baked it and gave it to the children to win favor, and then asked the eldest boy, "What's your name?"

The boy said, "My name is Dog Baozi. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Is this the nickname people gave you? Why is it called Dog Baozi?"

The young man shook his head and said, "My mother originally called me Baozi, but then my mother disappeared, and my father called me Dog, but there was already a dog in the village, so everyone in the village called me Dog Baozi." ”

"What village, where is your hometown?"

"My house is in Orion Village, in a mountain, but a few days ago the mountain was covered by heavy snow, and the wild beasts in the mountain went deeper into the mountains, and some people in the mountains went to chase them, and then they did not come back. Others left the mountains and never returned. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Then do you know which prefecture your village is in?"

The young man said: "I don't know, I came out with my second aunt, and my second aunt asked me to follow Uncle Jacket, who led me a long way, and finally I was arrested." ”

Xu Da looked at Wang Qilin and said, "Serial abduction, he was abducted and sold, and he sold it several times." ”

Wang Qilin nodded and asked Gou Baozi: "Good boy, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, so you tell me about your departure from the village." Oh, by the way, you just said you can't eat cats, why?"

Dog Baozi said solemnly: "Brother, you can't eat cats, cats have spirits, whoever eats cats, the lynx will eat them!"

The children became energetic after eating the hot, fragrant scones, and one of the children laughed and said, "Brother Dog is going to make up a story to scary." ”

Gou Baozi said loudly: "What I said is true! I have seen it with my own eyes, I don't believe you listen to me!"

He thought for a moment and said, "Some days ago, it started to snow in the mountains, and the snow was very heavy, and our village was sealed, and then the big guys had nothing to eat. ”

"As I said, some people went to the mountains and didn't come back, and some people left the village. But the village elder said that they were all dead, and that there were mountain spirits in the mountains who ate people, and that the road outside the village was not easy to walk, either they would freeze to death or they would fall to death. ”

But there was nothing left to eat in the village, and one day a kitten came into the village. ”

Then he was bumped into by the fattest and most powerful brother in the village, and he was very happy, and went back to kill the kitten, he plucked the hair, froze the cat skin, steamed the cat meat, stewed the cat bones, and ate it himself. ”

Hearing this, Hachimeow hissed and gasped, his eyes widened, and he suspected that the cat was born.

Dog Baozi also began to gasp, and he became frightened: "There was a strong wind that night, and then we all heard the barking of bobcats in our village!"

"Many lynxes appeared, they came into the village and shouted, the village elder brought people out to get rid of the lynx, but the wind and snow were very strong, the village old had to go back, he said that this is the lynx to take revenge, it is the lynx to cast evil spells to drive the old man to snow heavily and blow the wind. ”

"After dawn the next day, the villagers saw that the snow in front of Gua's house was red, do you know what it is?"

"It's all blood!"

"Then the village elder led the men into the house, and saw that Gua Ge was dead! his head was still intact, but the flesh of his body, arms, and legs was gone, and only the bones and internal organs were left, and the internal organs were laid on the ground, and the room was full of the cat's bloody paw prints and the wild hair of the lynx—"

"He's been eaten by a lynx!"

The children were timid, and when they heard this, they rushed together and looked at Hachimeow in horror.

Eight meows are displeased, what kind of eyes are you looking at? Meow is a dignified spirit animal, will pigs eat people if they don't eat them?

But then it reacted: Isn't it a good thing that these bear children are afraid of themselves?

So it stood up with a gloomy face and squinted to stare at the bear children, and told them with murderous eyes: What happened to eating cats, do you know?

Wang Qilin asked Gou Baozi: "In the past, in your mountains, did you ever have a lynx eat people?"

Dog Baozi shook his head.

Wang Qilin asked again, "How long after this incident did you leave the village?"

Dog Baozi scratched his head vigorously, and fleas flew along with dandruff and weed leaves.

"I can't remember, I was so hungry that I survived by eating roasted wood, and then my second aunt took me away. ”

Xu Da asked, "How do you eat roasted wood?"

Gou Baozi said: "Even if you roast the soft wood over the fire, you can also boil it in hot water, and let it be hot to eat anyway." I don't like boiled wood, it doesn't smell, I like to eat roasted wood, it smells like baked buns. ”

"What about eating?" asked the youngest child, curiously.

Gou Baozi frowned and squeezed his eyes vigorously, his face full of reluctance.

Wang Qilin asked, "You eat roasted wood and eat groggy, what about your village elders?"

Gou Baozi said: "The village elder is fine, he has been staying in the village since then, saying that there is the blessing of the ancestors here, and they will survive the heavy snow and the mountain." ”

Wang Qilin nodded slowly and said, "Have you ever thought that Brother Gua in your village was not killed by a lynx, he was killed by someone, and the meat was taken away." ”

Xu Da subconsciously shouted: "He was killed by the village elder? The meat was also removed by the village elder? There is no food in the village, and the village elder can still maintain normalcy by eating human flesh?"

Wang Qilin said: "It's not just him, this melon brother is the tallest and fattest, and the village elder is afraid that he can't control him." Dog Baozi, it's not just the village elders who can live normally in your village, right?"

Gou Baozi was already very sensible, he listened to the conversation between the two and understood what had happened in the village, but he couldn't believe it, and said, "Impossible, we all heard the bark of the lynx!"

"In the wind, isn't it normal for people to imitate the wild cat's bark a few times?" Wang Qilin shook his head.

"And the blood paw prints of the bobcats in Guago's house, and the miscellaneous hair of those bobcats......"

"Blood paw prints can be forged, and miscellaneous hair is easier to deal with, can you Orion people in the mountains have a few lynx skins?

Wang Qilin's answer was like a stream, and Gou Baozi's defense line was quickly broken, he recalled what happened in the village in a daze, and squatted on the ground and opened his mouth to vomit!

But he is sensible and knows how difficult it is to get food now.

So despite the nausea, he suppressed his urge to vomit and forced it down.

Wang Qilin looked at the other children and asked, "How did you become beggars?"

The children's answers were varied:

"If my father and mother are gone, won't I become a beggar?"

"I'm going low, and I can't find my father and mother. ”

"Brother, I was abducted, and a merchant teased me with gadgets, and then suddenly stuffed me into his big bamboo basket and grabbed me. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Then do you remember the place where he was held?"

The children shook their heads together.

The relieved dog Baozi said: "We don't know, it was the fairy who rescued us, he will drill the ground, he is a fairy, the fairy came to save us, and he also sent us food." ”

Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad, Xie Toad nodded and said: "Five Elements Escape Technique, he drilled into the ground is a soil escape, didn't the handlebar style last night say that someone saw a figure drill out of the tree at the entrance of the temple? That's Mu Dun." ”

"Could it be Huang Junzi?"

Xie Toad said: "There is this possibility. ”

Wang Qilin muttered: "I once told Huang Junzi that I am investigating the case of the Xingtian Festival, and they have dealt with the lower nine gates related to the Xingtian Festival, so it is very likely that these children were locked up by the lower nine gates and let him be rescued." ”

Xu Da said: "Seventh Master, what is there to guess here? Just ask these children directly? Hey, children, is that Drill Immortal a young man?"

Some of the children nodded, some shook their heads.

Xu Da frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Gou Baozi said: "The earth fairy is covered with his face, and we can't see his appearance. ”

Wang Qilin recalled Huang Junzi's figure and wanted to describe it, but at this time, Xu Da asked again: "Then this earth-drilling immortal, is it a little stupid?"

Children one.asxs. head.

Gou Baozi was very angry because of the insult of the immortals, he clenched his fists and shouted: "That's the spirit of the gods! I have heard people say, the gods are like this, this is called, this is called ......."

After all, he is a young man with little knowledge, and he really doesn't have a few words in his head.

Xu Da took his words and asked, "Luan Zi Feng Dao Gu?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gou Baozi barked happily, "That's it, fairy wind bones! Uncle, although you look like a butcher, you're actually a showman, right?"

Xu Da was stunned, is this praising me?

Wait, it seems that this baby just called Wang Qilin to call Brother, and it's my turn to call Uncle?

Wang Qilin didn't pay attention to these little things, he already understood that these children were really saved by Huang Junzi!

So, what about Huang Junziren?

The children didn't know either, and they said, "The Drill Fairy has sent us here, and there's a hole under here to hide, and we'll hide it during the day." So although someone came during the day, they didn't spot us. ”

"In the past, the god who drilled into the ground brought us food and drink, but he didn't come two days ago, and we were cold and hungry today, so we had to come up, and then we ran into you. ”

"It's not that he won't come, he said that there was a snow doll chasing him, so he didn't come, otherwise it would hurt us!"

"Woo, I think I'm a fairy. The youngest beggar opened his mouth and began to cry.

Hearing their words, Xie Toad asked, "He said he was being chased by a snow doll?"

Gou Baozi nodded vigorously: "Well, that's what he said when he came for the last time." also said that if an official comes, he will tell the official to save him. ”

"Yes, so we won't go, let's wait for the official to save the immortals. ”

"Could it be that the Drill Immortal is dead?" the youngest child cried again.

The voice is loud.

Then the other children came into grief and wept together.

It's like a game, one voice is louder than the other.

Wang Qilin sighed and said, "We are the official master you are waiting for. ”

Gou Baozi shouted: "You are the official master, then why did you come? Is the earth drilling immortal already dead?"

Wang Qilin covered his forehead and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry again, we won't save the Drill Immortal." ”

A beggar choked with tears and said: "It's just crying, you came so late, the god who drilled the ground died, and we cried to give him a funeral!"

Child, you chase after me and continue to cry.

Wang Qilin, who was crying, was upset, and the information he needed had already been obtained, so he beckoned to Xie Toad and said, "Let's go outside and talk." ”

Walking out of the small temple, Wang Qilin asked: "Dao Chief, what is the origin of the snow doll chasing Huang Junzi, the spirit condensed by the heavy snow?"

Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, heavy snow can indeed give birth to some demon spirits, and the most powerful one is Snow Maitreya. ”

"Snow Maitreya is a demon spirit, they are as fat as Maitreya Buddha, and they also have great magical powers like Maitreya Buddha, they like to feed on people's spirits, and their strength is strong and difficult to match!"

"But the snow miller is made of snow, so they tend to be very large, and they should not be like little dolls, so I guess Huang Junzi should not meet the snow miller, otherwise he would not have time to leave a letter to the beggars. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "If it's not Snow Millet, what kind of demon is it?"

Xie Toad said: "According to Lao Dao's guess, it should be a clean corpse!"

"How can it be a clean corpse?" Wang Qilin said: "I know the pure corpse, the "Shu Wei Ji" recorded an incident in the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Yuan Jianian, saying that someone died suddenly when he was sailing, and his son went ashore to light a fire to guard the corpse. Suddenly, I heard Yuanyuan crying and called out to my uncle. ”

The filial son was suspicious, and saw a person who came with his hair covered to his feet, and this person's hair covered his face, and he didn't see the seven orifices. The filial son talked to him and found that this person really knew the identity of his father and son, so he relaxed his vigilance and asked this person to help guard his father's body and go to find food by himself. ”

When he returned, he saw that this man was eating his father's flesh and blood, and at last only a white bone remained, which frightened him, and he fled and told the locals about it, and the locals told him that it was a demon called the corpse, because it eats human corpses, and often has to gnaw clean and only have white bones before stopping. ”

Xie Toad smiled faintly: "Only half of this record is true, that is, the pure corpse hair is covered with many faces, and there are no seven orifices, but they don't eat human corpses until they stop at the bones, but they want to peel off the flesh and blood of the corpse to get the white bones." ”

"Pure corpses, that is, the white bones of the frozen dead are condensed, and they also have a name called frozen bones!"

"The reason why it is called the name of the clean corpse, this 'net' takes the meaning of clean, they are white bone adults, so the whole body is snow-white and clean. ”

"And the word 'corpse' reveals their identity, they are corpses, very strange corpses. ”

"As I told you just now, the pure corpse is formed by the condensation of the white bones of the frozen dead, they are born out of the corpse, at first they are small babies, and then they continue to collect the white bones of the frozen dead for cultivation, and they will gradually grow up like a human grows. ”

"When they become old men, it's scary!"

Wang Qilin asked, "How terrible is it? Can you deal with it?"

Xie Toad said heavily: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, barely strong." ”

Wang Qilin pretended to be unintentional and then asked, "What about me? How many do I have to deal with it?"

Xie Toad said: "Look at what you said about how to deal with it, if you want to kill it, then you need at least ten of them at this level!"

Wang Qilin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Your skills are worthy of ten like me?"

Xie Toad said: "Don't get me wrong, Seventh Master, the old Taoist priest means that the pure corpse is not able to infinitely suck the bones of monks, ten monks of your level can support it!"

"Damn!" Wang Qilin rolled his eyes, "Then what if I want to deal with a doll-sized corpse?"

Xie Toad smiled and said: "You have heard about the Thunder God Sword and the Eight Heavenly Dragon Sword Formation, the doll-sized pure corpse can only be regarded as a little troublesome for you, you just need to be careful, there is no problem in cleaning it up!"

Wang Qilin asked again: "Then how do we go to find the corpse purification?" I don't know if Huang Junzi is still alive now, he is good at the Five Elements Escape Technique, so he shouldn't be so easy to be caught by the corpse purification, right?"

Xie Toad frowned and said: "It's hard to say, the pure corpses are snow souls, they have many magical powers in the snow, and they are very difficult to deal with." ”

Wang Qilin said: "You have to look for them, do you know how to find the corpse?"

Xie Toad said: "It's very simple, if there is a frozen dead person in the surrounding area, then you can wait for it by guarding the corpse of the frozen dead." ”

"If not, then you can only use your body as bait and go to the snow at night to walk alone, such people are most likely to freeze to death in the snow, so they can also attract clean corpses. ”

Wang Qilin sighed: "We can only go to be bait, although this snow disaster came quickly, but the people in Pingyang Mansion reacted very quickly, and I didn't hear much about someone being frozen to death." ”

"Especially this Yuma County is close to the city, Wu Jingzhan is personally staring here, the local big families and yamen are putting grain to help the people, and the life of the common people is relatively better. ”

Yesterday, the handlebar typers also said this, they walked around in and around Yuma County, and did not encounter the corpses of those who froze to death.

Xie Toad said, "Let Xu Ye stay here, and the two of us will go out for a walk tonight." ”

Xu Da was very unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Why do you let the uncle stay and watch the children? The uncle also wants to go to the people to eliminate harm!"

The last time he beat an ordinary ghost to death in Chang's workshop, he gave him unprecedented confidence, and he wanted to kill a tough ghost to pretend to be forced.

Wang Qilin persuaded: "You have to stay here, first, you are a friend of underage children, and second, this pure corpse is strong, do you want to add cultivation to it?"

Xu Da turned two wrenches, and the ghosts of Shangong Youfu and Yushanshan appeared.

He said proudly: "I have a fierce general ghost, and among the ten thousand ghosts, taking the enemy's head is like probing for things!"

Wang Qilin kicked him and said, "Don't make trouble, you also have important tasks to stay, the first is to protect these children, and the second is that they must still know some important information, help me put this information out." ”

"The one who abducted these children was a sacrifice to the heavens!"
