Although the eight-character beard was driven away, the news he brought made Shen Yun toss and turn that night and couldn't sleep.

Two more people have been gouged out!

And exactly the same as Amin's death!

Is it the work of demons again?

Both men broke their legs and had difficulty moving, so they had to lie at home. Therefore, it can be ruled out that they provoked evil spirits outside in the middle of the night.

What kind of hatred, what kind of grudge? So much so that the demon wants to run into their house and kill people!

Suddenly, a bright light crossed his heart - how did these two people fall and hurt their legs?

The two of them were so frightened that they rolled down the mountain because they saw a white-haired monster in a cave at the top of the West Mountain!

Is there really a white-haired monster?

Someone wanted to cover up this, yes, the two of them were killed?

The more Shen Yun thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason.

In this way, there must be a connection between the demon and the white-haired monster!

Early the next morning, he took a day off from the shopkeeper Wu.

He searched his stomach in advance and made up a reason why he had to take leave. No, Shopkeeper Wu didn't ask the reason at all, and responded: "Okay." Are you coming back for dinner?"

"Oh, no. I eat out. Shen Yun was full of black lines, "Uh, I'll rush back before curfew." ”

After leaving the shop, he first made a detour, went to the market to buy six white-flour steamed buns, as well as a small bag of glutinous rice and a bunch of garlic, and then headed straight for the western suburbs.

According to the plan set last night, today he will first go to the western suburbs to find out about the two peasants' hearts being gouged out, and then, wait until noon, and then go to the top of the west mountain to explore the cave on the spot.

Why wait until noon to go to the cave?

Because according to the codex of the Taishi Ancestor, the demons lie in the day and come out at night. And of the day, at noon, it is at its weakest, and it cannot move at all.

As everyone knows, he left the pharmacy with his front foot, and a man in a moon-white brocade robe suddenly appeared in his room with his back foot.

The brocade-robed man first looked around the room, and then walked straight to the cabinet.

When he saw a strand of hair hanging very secretly between the two cabinet doors, the brocade-robed man couldn't help but grin.

He didn't touch the lock at all, he stretched out his right hand, pinched a trick, and punched a red circle of light on the cabinet door.

I saw that where the aperture fell, the cabinet door suddenly thinned. After a breath, the red light flashed, and the aperture disappeared. In that place, a large round hole with a diameter of more than half a foot appeared out of thin air.

The brocade-robed man hooked his fingers slightly. The big blue baggage flew out of it.

He opened the baggage, revealing all the contents of it.

When he saw the mahogany box, a bright light flashed in the eyes of the brocade-robed man.

With a long sigh, he picked up the mahogany box and looked at it over and over in his hand. After a long time, he said to himself, "Sure enough, yes." ”

Without opening the box, he put it back in his baggage. Hit another trick upwards.

This time, the red light flashed, and the burden that had been loosened returned to its original state.

The brocade-robed man waved his hand gently.

The big blue cloth bag flew back into the cabinet by itself, and landed firmly in its place.

And the large round hole in the cabinet was also instantly bridged.

As if nothing had happened. Even the hair on the cabinet door didn't move.

The brocade-robed man stood quietly in the room for a while, and finally, with another sigh, shook his figure, and came out through the wall.

West.

According to the address Guo Zi said, Shen Yun found the village where the two farmers were located - their surnames were Yu, and they lived in Yujia Village at the foot of the West Mountain.

The village is not large, and there are more than ten or twenty families living in it.

Shen Yun didn't dare to enter the village rashly, but climbed a small hill next to him and secretly looked down on the whole village.

As he had guessed last night, there was no sign of a funeral in the village.

Unlike in the city, ordinary farmers only eat two meals a day, namely breakfast and lunch.

The same goes for the villagers here. It was breakfast time, and smoke rose from the rooftops of every house.

A few cowherd dolls led the cows and shouted home.

The whole village is peaceful and peaceful. So much so that Shen Yun thought he was in the wrong place.

After thinking about it, he walked down the hill quickly, pretending to be a passerby, and stopped the cowherd babies.

"Little brother, may I ask, where is this?" he took out two steamed buns from the package, broke them and distributed them to them, "I'm going to Xiangshui Bay." My aunt's family lives there. ”

The four cowherd babies are no more than seven or eight years old. One person got half of his white-faced steamed buns, and everyone smiled. They scrambled to speak: "We are here in Yujia Village, not Xiangshuiwan." ”

"I know where Xiangshui Bay is!" said one of them the most proudly, his voice drowning out the other three.

Shen Yun took out a big money from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Little brother, if you can tell me how to get to Xiangshui Bay, this big money is yours." ”

The boy's eyes were shining, staring at the copper coin, and he replied clearly: "Brother, you go forward, go over that mountain, and the opposite side of the river is Xiangshui Bay! I didn't lie to you." My grandmother's house is in Xiangshuiwan! I go there several times a year. ”

He didn't recognize life at all, and after speaking, he spread out his right hand and stretched out to Shen Yun.

"Brother believes in you. Shen Yun put the copper coin in his palm.

The faces of the other three cowherd babies were full of envy.

Seeing this, Shen Yun took out a handful of big money from his sleeve, put it in his hand, spread it out, and said to them: "Brother, I, since I was a child, I like to hear new things from people the most. If any of you can tell me what's happening lately, no matter what it is, my brother will give him a big sum of money for every thing you say. ”

"Really?" asked the cowherds in unison.

"Of course it's true!" Shen Yun shook the copper plate in his hand, "As long as it's something new that has happened recently." Whoever says more, the more money his brother will give him. Liars are puppies!"

"My Ah Hua gave birth to a litter of cubs last night, and there are fifteen of them!" said the one who had just gotten the money.

Shen Yun guessed a rough idea in his heart, but pretended not to know, and asked with a smile, "Who is your Ah Hua?"

"Hahaha......" The other three cowherds all hugged their stomachs and laughed.

The boy's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he replied: "Ah Hua is my big pig mother!" My mother said that a litter can give birth to fifteen cubs, and there is only one Ah Hua in the whole village!"

"Fifteen piglets in one litter are indeed rare. Shen Yun happily took out a copper coin from his hand and gave it to him.

The cowherd babies exclaimed "ah".

"I said, I'm going to say it too!" another cowherd rushed up and reached out to Shen Yun to take the copper coin.

Shen Yun shook his hand, avoided it, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Little brother, my brother's rule is to talk about things first, and then take the money." ”

The cowherd retracted his hand embarrassedly, but his two eyes stared at the copper plate in his hand, and said quickly: "Last month, the dog lost two eggs. The dog girl jumped in his house and scolded the mother for a long time!"

Shen Yun shook his head: "What happened last month is not new. My brother doesn't give money. ”

The boy lowered his head in disappointment and scratched his head vigorously: "I'll think about ...... again"

"Good. Don't be in a hurry, think slowly. Shen Yun smiled, shook the copper coin in his hand, and asked the others, "Does anyone else have anything new?"

"Does it have to be yesterday?" someone asked.

Shen Yun replied, "It doesn't have to be yesterday. In the past few days, you can do it. ”

"I said, the night before yesterday, Uncle Man Gui and Uncle Erxi died!" a cowherd blurted out.

The other three dolls all looked at him with horrified expressions.

"Can't say it!" a cowherd next to him tugged at the corner of his coat and warned, "Your father will beat you to death!"

Shen Yun was secretly overjoyed, and immediately gave him a big coin: "Little brother, don't be afraid, just rest assured." My brother is passing by, and I don't even know your name. I don't know your father, and I will never go to your father to sue you. My brother promised that he would listen to it and not talk outside. ”

The cow baby looked down at the big money in her hand, with a tangled face.

At this time, the cowherd baby who had just not gotten the money looked up and asked, "Brother, you really won't go outside to talk about it?"

Shen Yun nodded vigorously: "Brother promises!"

He no longer hesitated: "Uncle Mangui and Uncle Erxi's hearts were poached in the middle of the night. ”

"Ah, and such things, it's so fresh!" Shen Yun took out two big coins and gave them to him, "It's worth two big bucks!"

At this time, the other cattle herders were annoyed, and they stretched out their hands and quickly grabbed them.

"It was the patriarch's grandfather who reported to the Immortal Mansion. ”

"Yesterday, after breakfast, two officials came. They won't let us talk about it!"

"Yes, before they left, they set fire to the bodies of Uncle Man Gui and Uncle Erxi, and the two of them were not allowed to hold a funeral for nothing. ”

Shen Yun didn't disappoint them, one of them gave two big money, and asked again, "Is there anything else?"

Cowherds, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shake their heads.

"I'm rested, it's time to go. Shen Yun waved at them, "If I pass by your Yujia Village again in the future, I will come to you again to hear new things." ”

Watching his figure disappear at the end of the dirt road, the four cowherd babies grabbed the copper coins in their hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Shen Yun couldn't really leave. He also had to go to the top of the west mountain to find the cave where the white-haired monster haunted—the words of the four cowherd babies made him even more convinced that the two farmers had been killed.

As for why the two immortal officials helped cover it up, the reason is worth investigating.

Shen Yun was used to it in the mountains and forests. According to Oe's previous words, before noon, he found a similar cave.

I looked at the sky, and it was still a little short of noon. He hid behind a large fir tree about twenty paces away from the entrance of the cave, and while staring at the entrance of the cave, he ate two steamed buns in succession with cold water to replenish his strength.

The black entrance to the cave was about five feet high and three feet wide, and there was no movement.

Shen Yun took out the string of garlic from the small bag and hung it around his neck, and hung the small bag containing glutinous rice around his waist. The mouth of the bag is open, so that he can take rice from it at any time.

It is written in the codex of Taishi Zu that the demons are most taboo of garlic and glutinous rice. Among them, garlic can make demons dare not get close, and glutinous rice is even more powerful, which can corrode the skin of demons. Therefore, when the demon touches the glutinous rice, he is afraid to avoid it.

Once you're ready, it's almost time.

Shen Yun puffed out his cheeks, took three deep breaths in succession, took out a knife, came out from behind the tree, bowed his body, and felt towards the cave.

At this moment, there was a sudden "pop" sound in my ears!

Someone pressed his right shoulder from behind!

Shen Yun's mind instantly exploded with a "buzz"!

Who is it!

He froze and didn't dare to move.
