Chapter 41: The Faceless Ghost (8)

"The land is gone......" Lin Yi was surprised, and quickly calmed down, his eyes swept towards the other party, and he looked at it carefully.

The officer and soldier looked flustered, tired and sweating profusely, the hem of his shirt was torn out of his belt, hanging under his ribs, and his trouser legs were stained with mud, apparently running all the way.

Lin Yi's expression changed sharply, and he shouted: "Spread your hands!"

The officers and men were stunned on the spot, their eyes showing confusion, and after half a ring, they hesitantly spread their hands, bewildered.

Lin Yi saw that his reaction was natural and real, not like a monster disguise, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled: "There is a message from Brother Lao, let's drink some water and rest." ”

Shao Yanling and others realized it later, and lamented that Lin Yi was cautious, but also slightly changed their views on him.

Ren Dingbei asked, "Brother, are you sure you are driving in the wrong direction?"

The officers and soldiers relieved themselves and said categorically: "My lord, the boatmen who went with me are all local fishermen, they have been running this waterway for more than ten years, and they are more familiar with it than their own backyard, and they will never deviate from the direction." And the island is only more than thirty miles away from Qingba City, and if it's sunny like this, you should be able to see the land halfway through, but there are no cherry blossoms when you get there."

"I see, let's go back. Ren Dingbei beckoned everyone and immediately set off to the mansion.

In the middle of the day, the spring sun was warm, and a group of people rushed to the mansion in a hurry, Xiang Zhicheng finished the specific passing, and several spiritual officials had a haze on their faces.

When she went to sea today, the fleet was attacked by fish monsters, and when she searched the mountains to investigate, she encountered quicksand, and Gu Wanxi was almost pulled into the ground. In the end, both sides returned in vain, and even the officers and soldiers looked at Ren Dingbei with strange eyes.

Shao Yanling said angrily: "The stupid monster dares to play with us, if you ask this girl to catch it, you have to pick its skin!"

Lin Yi used to eliminate demons, mostly on his own, and although he encountered many dangers, he could still solve them reluctantly. Now I work together with my classmates, but I feel that I am constrained everywhere and a waste of time.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yi looked around the main hall, and saw that the morale of the officers and soldiers was low, and Ren Dingbei's prestige was frustrated, so he asked: "Brother Ren, I want to go up the mountain alone and explore the reality of the monster again." ”

"It's not proper!" Ren Dingbei flatly refused. For him, the soldiers' combat power is weak and dispensable, but several spirit officers have supernatural powers, which is the key to solving the disaster, and there must be no accidents.

Seeing Lin Yi frowning, he had no choice but to rub his forehead and said solemnly: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, so I should not scatter my troops and make my own claims." If the monster strikes the west, won't it hit it?"

"Alas-" Lin Yi also knew this, so he had nothing to refute, only sighed and agreed.

Everyone was silent, Xiang Zhicheng suddenly took a deep breath and turned pale: "Senior Brother Ren...... There's something else you'd like to see. ”

Ren Dingbei hummed: "Something, take it out now." ”

"Come with me in the house. Xiang Zhicheng burst into a dry laughter, revealing a bit of bitterness.

Ren Dingbei followed Xiang Zhicheng to the dormitory, Lin Yi and the others glanced at each other, and immediately pulled their legs to catch up.

Xiang Zhicheng pushed open the door, and all the spiritual officials looked at it together, only to see the fisherman and the aunt lying on the couch, trembling violently like a sieve.

"Are they awake?" Shao Yanling exclaimed in surprise, stepping into the house.

"Don't come here!" Xiang Zhicheng roared, and waved his left palm behind him to stop Shao Yanling.

Ren Dingbei was vigilant, it turned out that the two wounded had clear mouths, runny nostrils, rolled up their eyes to reveal the whites of their eyes, and trembled with their arms, as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.

Shao Yanling came back to her senses in astonishment, and complained with a straight face: "If you don't enter the door, you won't enter the door, why do you have such a big temper?"

Xiang Zhicheng hurriedly explained: "Senior sister, forgive me, I'm afraid that their strange disease will be transmitted to you." ”

"Let me see. At that moment, a voice came from the hallway.

Lin Yi turned his head sideways, and his gaze fell on a young man: the man was wearing a yellow sermon robe, and his hands were folded in a salute, and it was the spiritual official Yin Xi

He had heard Dingbei mention this person, and heard that he was proficient in talisman spells, but because he was low-key and rarely spoke, he almost forgot that there was such a person.

Yin Xian said two words of apology, and went straight into the house, reaching out to probe the two wounded people to snort, but he was already angry.

He turned around and shook his head: "If the situation worsens, I'm afraid the two of them will be more than lucky." ”

Lin Yi observed the wounded, and when he saw that their lips opened and closed, and they kept babbling, he reminded: "Senior Brother Yin, they seem to be babbling. ”

"Oh?" Yin Xian bent closer, and a small voice came into his ears: "I can feel it...... It's eyeing me. ”

"It's eyeing meβ€”what do you mean?" Yin Xian was confused, but no matter how much he listened, the two of them repeated the sentence back and forth.

"This 'it', is it a monster?" Lin Yi muttered to himself.

"Quite possibly. Ren Dingbei agreed, and asked Xiang Zhicheng with his eyes: "Senior brother, this is the only clue we have now, can you cure them?"

"I went up to the mountains to pick some herbs and came back to give them to them, although the conditions were limited, but I did my best. The condition was completely beyond Xiang Zhicheng's expectations, and he didn't dare to guarantee it.

"Okay, you go and collect the medicineβ€”ah, wait, Senior Sister Shao, you accompany him up the mountain, and remember to take care of each other, so as not to cause accidents. ”

"Yes. Shao Yanling immediately agreed, and waited for Xiang Zhicheng to find the hoe and carry the basket, and went out together.

Lin Yi watched them leave, how could he have imagined that the two who had competed against each other in the past were now in such harmony.

Ren Dingbei said: "Senior Brother Lin, Yin ...... Senior brother, I'll stay here and keep an eye on the patients, so go and rest first. ”

Lin Yi tossed and turned last night, but he didn't sleep well at all, so he didn't excuse himself for some reason, so he took Black Eagle and Gu Wanxi back to make up for sleep.

Ren Dingbei sent away the officers and soldiers again, waited for them to disappear in the aisle, closed the door with his backhand, saluted Yin Xian who stayed in the house, and said respectfully: "Chief Yin Dao, do you have any clue?"

"There are no eyebrows yet. Yin Xian stood in front of the collapse, pointed to the wrists of the wounded, protected their vitality with aura, and then said: "This time I went down the mountain to subdue the demons, and I will appoint you as the leader, and the specific matters should be decided by you." ”

......

Lin Yi returned to the house, slept for about two hours, and suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, and immediately woke up from the haze, scared into a cold sweat.

He picked up his knife, but saw a girl standing in the doorway, casting a curious glance into the room.

Before Lin Yi could ask, he heard a woman in the corridor shouting, "Yan, don't disturb the immortal master's sleep!"

As soon as the words fell, a young woman rushed to the door, hurriedly wanted to drag the girl away, caught a glimpse of the house out of the corner of her eye, and saw Lin Yi with a knife in her hand, she was so shocked that her soul flew out, she knelt down with a puff, and said in fear: "The immortal master spares his life, blame my daughter for being rude and disturbing your rest, I will definitely punish you severely when you go back." ”

Lin Yi bowed to avoid the big gift, his mind flashed the appearance of his former mother protecting him, his chest was blocked, he immediately reined in his gaffe, rushed forward to support her, and smiled pleasantly: "Sister, don't kneel to me, Lin can't stand it." Curiosity is childish, where would I blame her?"

After a pause, he said, "Dare to ask you who ......"

Seeing that Lin Yi was smiling like a spring breeze, the young woman spoke softly, and her attitude was even more approachable, her heart was slightly less timid, and she got up and explained: "The folk girl is the insider of the village chief Guo, and this girl is my daughter. ”

It turned out to be the wife and daughter of the village chief!

Lin Yi couldn't cry or laugh after knowing the identity of the other party, hurriedly bowed his hand, stretched it to his waist, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was rude, I actually offended you against the guest, please forgive me." ”

Just by bending over, Lin Yi understood: Yesterday, the village chief moved his family away and vacated the house for the spiritual officials to rest, which gave him enough face. But tonight the moonlit night is approaching, and the island is no longer peaceful, so under the pretext of waiting, he sends back his daughter, but in fact he wants to find a shelter for his family.

The young woman exchanged a few words with him and took her daughter away. Lin Yi turned his head and entered the house, and saw Gu Wanxi resting on the table, thinking that she hadn't slept well last night, so she quietly closed the door and left.

Turning to the living room, several officers and soldiers were sitting in a daze, and they heard Lin Yi's footsteps and walked to him, before they slowly stood up. When Lin Yi waved his hand, they sat back again.

"Brothers, have you ever had an incident of a fish monster attacking a ship before?" Lin Yi suddenly asked.

"Your Excellency...... There were a few years ago. One soldier replied hesitantly, and finally came out: "Only when it is on Wayakat...... Later, the sea route was blocked, and it never happened again. ”

"Looks like we aren't very welcome on Aonami Island. Lin Yi muttered, and after a while, he asked again, "What about the disappearance of the land?"

"This is the first time to break the wilderness. The soldier looked away, hesitated for a while, and then plucked up the courage to ask, "My lord, do you have a solution, are we trapped on the island?"

"Perhaps. Lin Yi replied very generally, found a chair and sat down, and then pondered.

Seeing that the light outside the window was getting dim, and the moon was rising on the Oriental Sea, Shao Yanling accompanied Xiang Zhicheng, who had a haggard face, to return from collecting medicine, and the hostess brought out the food and told Yan to call the spirit officials to eat.

After a while, all the personnel arrived, Gu Wanxi sat beside Lin Yi with the black eagle on her shoulder, Yin Xian held the candlestick in the north corner of the hall, the candle was wrapped in yellow rune paper, and the words drawn with cinnabar were bright red and dazzling.

Xiang Zhicheng unloaded the medicine basket and was just about to report the results to Ren Dingbei, when he suddenly heard a strong wind outside the house, mixed with a piercing howling sound, which resounded through the island, like a ghost crying wolf.

Lin Yi reacted quickly, rushed to the head of the hall and pushed the door to look, only to see a few puffs of black smoke spewing out from the top of the mountain, and after a while, it floated above the fishing village, enveloping the air.

"Senior brother, close the door quickly!" Yin Xian's face changed sharply, and horror flashed in his eyes, as if a catastrophe was coming, and he was terrified.

Lin Yi slammed the door shut, turned around and asked, "Senior Brother Yin, what do you see?"

Before Yin Xian could open his mouth, the mountains shook one after another, the dishes and chopsticks in the house collided, the cups crackled and a table was broken, and the wine flowed sideways.

Immediately after, the demonic aura was surging and unfolding, and the soles of everyone's feet were sore, as if they were jumping into the sky, and then fell suddenly. The soldiers fell one after another, and several spirit officers struggled a little, and they also fell one after another.

Such a terrifying spiritual pressure, Lin Yi had only experienced it in Fengyue, and it was difficult to move even if he tried his best.

"Break!" Yin Xian bit the tip of his tongue, his mouth overflowed with blood, and he barely read a word, and the candlelight flickered, and the flame seedlings flickered and rose, filling the room with warmth, and the mountain-like pressure eased slightly.

Lin Yi put his hands on the ground, struggling to get up, but he heard the door of the bedroom creak open, and the aunt who was originally injured in the bed rolled her eyes and walked out of the house, and the fisherman with the broken foot jumped up and down to follow.

The candlelight cast a long shadow on the two of them, which looked particularly eerie.

Suddenly, the hall was silent, and everyone watched them pass by them, and no one dared to act rashly.

"Boom. The aunt kicked Lin Yi who was lying at the door with her right foot, and immediately took a step, turned her head sideways and paused...... Suddenly he bent down and reached out to grab him.

Lin Yi's heart skipped to his throat, and his blood almost coagulated.

"No!" Gu Wanxi exclaimed, her eyes were split, she raised her arm frantically, and her fingertips clasped her aunt's ankle.

The aunt's movements stopped abruptly, then turned around again, grabbed Gu Wanxi's wrist, and dragged her to the door like a poultry.

"Let go of her-" Lin Yi roared and screamed, and his memory flashed back to the robbery of the Huaijiang River, as if he had become a powerless teenager again, and could only survive under the protection of others.

But the aunt didn't seem to hear any sound, so she only grabbed Gu Wanxi's wrist blankly, pushed open the door with her other hand, and shook away.

Lin Yi could only watch Gu Wanxi being taken away from his eyes, her emerald green clothes grinding against the floor inch by inch, and her slender waist softly climbed over the threshold, gradually moving away until she disappeared into the boundless darkness......
