Chapter 24: Monsters
After killing the thief, Yun Yi returned with the axe, and after a round with the fat man, he gave the blood-stained axe to the fat man.
The fat man's task was to bury the female corpse, but the frozen ground was too hard, and he had no digging tools, so he kept it untouched, Yun Yi had to take out the drawing talisman thing, and the fire talisman burned the female corpse together.
Sensing that the soul qi had never left, Yun Yi said: "I helped you avenge your revenge, but I couldn't find out your husband's whereabouts, if I am here, I can't stay here for a long time." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yun Yi felt that his soul was approaching him, maybe the female ghost still wanted to beg him again, Yun Yi frowned and said: "The poor road has nothing to do with you, don't get an inch." ”
After speaking, Yun Yi drew a ghost talisman again, pinched the trick and recited the mantra: "The secret pass to the underworld, through the ground to attract the soul, the talisman to the practice, send the undead, Yuchen Daojun is as anxious as the law!"
After reciting the mantra, the rune paper was automatically burned and turned into smoke. The ghost talisman can make the Nine Secluded Mansions, and the edict will come to bring the wandering spirits of the world to the Yin Division.
He didn't know how long it would take for Yin Cha to get here, and he didn't deliberately wait any longer, so he called the fat man to continue his journey.
The two of them were a little tired, but after such a fuss, they were no longer tired, and the fat man on the road asked what the female ghost had told him in a dream before, and Yun Yi didn't hide it from him.
"Hey, by the way, what does the sentence that the predecessor of the dust Tongzi asked you to bring?" the fat man changed his words.
It seems to say that a woman is pregnant, and when she is about to give birth, who can think of a solution will succeed to the position of head of the house. Yun Yi shook his head and said, the sentence that Chen Tongzi asked him to bring was clueless, and he couldn't think of what it meant.
"What does inheriting the position of head of the family have to do with a woman giving birth to a child?" the fat man scratched his head in confusion.
"I don't know. Yun Yi shook his head.
"I'm afraid that if I thought of a way, the woman was already dead. The fat man pursed his lips and said, "Hey, you say, how can a woman be cured of dystocia?"
Yun Yi tilted his head and glanced at the fat man, and when he saw that he was sneering and silent, he said: "Use silver needles to pierce the three yin and two acupoints, and then pour out the two acupoints of Taichong." This method can also be used for abortion. ”
The fat man nodded and didn't ask any more.
The two of them hurried during the day and at night, and entered Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou for half a month.
March has already passed, and it stands to reason that the temperature should rise, but for some reason the weather this year is very weird, and there will still be snow from time to time, and the north wind is unusually cold.
It was freezing outside, and the two of them were thinly dressed, which was really miserable.
"We're in Wanxian County, let's go find a family to spend the night." The fat man rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and sighed again and again.
Yun Yi nodded, the fat man was a little fatter, and a thin man like him felt even colder like a hemp stick.
After paying attention, the two of them quickened their pace, and it snowed heavily on the way, and the two of them shivered with cold, and they hurried to hurry. After a day of hurrying, enter Wanxian County when the sky is getting dark.
Due to the late day and heavy snowfall, there were no pedestrians in the city. But Nanyang County is rich, Wan County is where the county capital of Nanyang County is located, here is more wealthy, the county seat is very large, and there are many shops on both sides of the street.
At this time, most of the people had already fallen asleep, and there were not many people with lights on, so the two of them looked for some lights and went to spend the night, and they all ate closed.
The two endured the biting cold wind and swayed around the city for a long time, and finally found an abandoned mansion in an open area in the south of the city. The courtyard is surrounded by wild grass, and the courtyard walls have collapsed.
The two were frozen hard, pushed open the rotten gate and entered the courtyard, which was also overgrown with weeds, and the house as a whole was still intact, but because of disrepair, the bricks and tiles were seriously eroded by wind and rain, and they had faded.
"How could such a good house be abandoned?" the fat man brushed aside the waist-high grass and walked towards the main house.
Yun Yi didn't answer, and what the fat man asked was exactly what he was puzzled about.
The door of the main house was open, and there were a lot of cobwebs hanging on the door, and the fat man reached out to open the cobwebs to open the door wider, and the two entered the house one after another. The furniture in the house is all available and neatly arranged, but a thick layer of dust has accumulated.
Seeing this situation, Yun Yi was even more puzzled, the room was neatly furnished, indicating that the original occupants here did not move out of here, otherwise they would not have left furniture. I didn't leave in a hurry, because the house was very neatly furnished.
"Sleep, sleep. The fat man walked over to the bed and tore down the rotten curtain.
"!" the fat man screamed and jumped.
Yun Yi turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that there were two white bones covered with quilts on the bed, and because they were covered by quilts, only the skulls were exposed.
Suspicious in his heart, Yun Yi stepped forward and was about to lift the quilt, and as soon as he tore off a corner, he saw the black side inside, and there were a lot of oil stains under the mattress. And there was a large amount of blood on the sheets next to the necks of the two skeletons, which had turned black due to the passage of time.
"What the hell is this?" the fat man's face twitched.
"It was as if someone had killed someone in their sleep, and the body had not been removed after death, and the body had rotted and the oil was stuck to the bedding. Yun Yi said with a wrinkled nose.
"Who is so vicious?" asked the fat man, tilting his head.
Yun Yi shook his head and said, "If there are no relatives to collect their bodies, either there are no relatives, or the relatives are also dead." ”
The fat man looked at the skeleton twice, turned to go out quickly, and listened to its footsteps as if he was going to the east chamber, and after a while, the fat man left the east chamber and went to the west chamber again.
After a while, the fat man ran back to the main house, with a horrified face: "Dead, all dead, there are more than a dozen people on both sides of the wings, dead cleanly, only white bones remain." ”
Yun Yi nodded, he had already guessed such a result, but he didn't understand who had a big blood feud with this family, and he actually did such a tragedy.
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Yi thought of another suspicious point, even if this family was wiped out, after a long time, the nearby residents should always notice that something was wrong and would come in to check the situation.
But the corpses of this family are rotten and only the bones remain, and they have never been buried, have they not been found, or no one dares to touch these corpses?
In addition, the murderer should not be an ordinary person, or even a human being, to kill a family silently, and the reason for this judgment is because the corpse has decomposed into white bones, and the weeds in the courtyard are very high, which indicates that the tragedy has occurred at least several years ago.
The fact that the area where the house is located is very empty and uninhabited by other people is enough to suggest that inhuman beings have appeared here in the past few years, and may still exist.
"I feel that this place is very evil, why don't we live in another place?" The fat man was simple-minded, but he noticed the strange atmosphere here, and his heart was frightened, and he looked left and right when he spoke, for fear that something would suddenly pop up.
"Hmm. Yun Yi nodded, although he felt that there was a yin object at work here, but just with his current slight Dao Xing, he might not be able to subdue it.
The two turned around and walked out of the house, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they sensed a strong yin qi in the courtyard, and their hearts were full of joy, and they looked closely, only to see a pair of round blood lights in the dense grass.
"What the hell!" the fat man scolded, and with his palm he slammed the doorway, throwing a wooden door towards the round blood.
The wooden door landed with a dull loud thud, but the dark red balls were offset by a few feet and were not hit.
The two round blood rays moved to reveal a body hidden in the weeds, which was five feet long, with scaly armor on its back, like a snake with legs, a columnar body, a conical head, and a long and pointed tail, which was golden and blue, and it was actually a huge skink.
Seeing the shape of this thing, the two couldn't help but gasp, although they had never seen a monster before, but this thing was full of yin qi, and its body size was hundreds of times larger than that of ordinary skinks, so there was no doubt that it was a monster.
"Damn!" the fat man was shocked and angry, shouted, and rushed to the courtyard with the Rokka's divine weapon, kicking the stone dragon's head.
The skink crawled quickly, drilled under the fat man's crotch, suddenly turned around and shook his tail and jerked, the fat man screamed in pain, and subconsciously got up to step on the tail of the skink, but the skink had already abandoned the fat man and pounced towards Yunyi.
The fat man performed the Liujia magic technique, but he was also pumped by this thing and shouted, Yun Yi did not dare to fight head-on, and retreated violently and swept to the beam, although the stone dragon acted fast, he did not jump well, and gave up Yun Yi to go out and attack the fat man again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Yi was about to draw a spell, but remembered that the cinnabar had long been frozen hard, and because he was worried about the safety of the fat man, he jumped off the beam of the house and went out to help.
The fat man was hit in the legs by the skink one after another, screaming continuously, angry, and changed the attack to hide after many failed moves, but his body was poor, and he couldn't dodge, the skink's attack was more fierce, and from time to time he bit the fat man's left leg a few times.
Seeing that the situation was critical and urgent, Yun Yi swept forward, and when the skink pounced on the fat man, he burst out and kicked him away.
After the skinks turned over, they looked at each other angrily, and then pounced on the two of them, and the two of them had palpitations, and moved left and right to avoid the skinks. They thought that the skink would turn back after it flew into the air, but they didn't expect it to suddenly burrow into the grass and disappear after a few clicks.
The two were suspicious of deception, and did not dare to look for it, and after a long time, there was no movement, and the fat man asked in a low voice, "Where did you go?"
"Ran. Yun Yi lowered his hands, the demonic aura had dissipated here, and the skink should be gone.
"Oh my mother!" the fat man grinned in pain, and looked down to examine the injury in his left leg, only to see that his left leg had been bitten open several times, and the blood was pouring out, soaking through the trouser tube.
"Where did you get such a big skink? I can't even carry the Rokko Divine Technique!" the fat man tore off a piece of his trouser tube and bandaged the wound simply.
"That's not a skink, the skink's tail is fragile and easy to break, and it will cut off its tail to confuse the enemy in a critical moment, but it will not use its tail as a means of attack. Yun Yi shook his head and said.
"What's that?" the fat man asked, confused.
"I don't know. Yun Yi shook his head, the doubts in his heart were no less than those of a fat man.
"Why did it run away all of a sudden?" asked the fat man.
After bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Yun Yi said again: "The monster is very jealous of people in cultivation, and it should sense the fluctuations of the aura in our bodies. ”
"If you say so, it's not shallow!" said the fat man.
Yun Yi did not say anything, everything in the world has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and other people are more sensitive than humans. In addition, the two of them were opened up by the dust tongzi all over the body, and the aura was unimpeded, which was easier to be perceived by aliens.
"Shall we stay here for the night?" said the fat man.
"Can I sleep somewhere else?" Yun Yi turned his head to look at him, at this time, the snow was falling, and there was nowhere to stay in the city, and he was afraid that he would freeze half to death if he stayed out overnight.
"There's that, and I can't sleep well at night, so why don't we find a way to get rid of it?" suggested the fat man, with a roll of his eyes.
Yun Yi nodded in response, his doubts would make people curious, although he was very jealous of the monster that looked like a stone dragon, but he also wanted to know what kind of monster it was.
Daoists have a keen perception of yin spirits and monsters, but this perception has a limited range, and with their current cultivation, they can only perceive the negative qi within a radius of ten zhang.
The monster had now escaped from their senses, and the two of them could only push through the grass and follow the trail of the monster's departure.
