Chapter Eighty-Three: The Bone-Eating White Worm
In front of Feng Aya'er, Yun Wuxian felt very faceless. Although he is only a martial artist now, and Feng Aya'er is a demon subduer. The identities of the two are not the same. But Yun Wuxian is a man, and he has a man's self-esteem in his bones, how can a man fall in front of a woman?
Yun Wuxian bowed his head and said nothing.
Seeing that Yun Wuxian was a little shy, Feng Aya'er was playful. She deliberately teased Yun Wuxian, so she stretched out her finger, shook her finger, and said, "Senior brother, you died before you left the school." In the future, how can you make me believe you?"
"Senior sister, it's not me talking nonsense, I think there must be something strange about this. You wait for me here, and I'll take a look up there. Yun Wuxian said, "Qingzhou City is also a big city, and it is impossible that there is no one to guard the city gate." ”
"I'll forget it. We still have important things to do, so we don't want to make extraneous branches," Feng Aya'er said.
Yun Wuxian deliberately wanted to regain face in front of Feng Aya'er, and the more Feng Aya'er stopped him from going, the more he had to go up.
The city tower is not very high, and Yun Wuxian came to the gate of the city tower in three or two steps.
The wooden door was closed, and the clouds could not see the inside without a trace. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
No one answered.
"Anyone?" Yun Wuxian knocked on the door again.
Feng Aya'er followed, she stood behind Yun Wuxian and said, "Senior brother, there must be no one inside, otherwise, you won't be able to hear you shouting so loudly." ”
"It shouldn't. How can there be no one in broad daylight?" said Yun Wuxian as he pushed the door of the room. The door was covered, "squeaked", and the door opened.
Yun Wuxian stood in the doorway, emanating an indescribable smell from the room. Yun Wuxian hurriedly covered his nose with his hand, but he still couldn't hold back and sneezed.
Feng Aya'er thought that Yun Wuxian had fallen into a plot, so she hurriedly walked to Yun Wuxian's side and asked with concern, "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”
Yun Wuxian rubbed his nose and said, "It's okay." Senior sister, the smell in the room is very strange, you have to be careful!"
Feng Aya'er put her nose to the door, inhaled hard, and then, she turned her head, looked at Yun Wuxian, and asked puzzledly, "Isn't it just the smell of mold?
"I'm not saying it smells weird, I'm saying it's weird?" asked Yun Wuji.
Feng Aya'er shook her head.
Yun Wuxian analyzed very seriously and said: "What wafts out of the room is the smell of mold. It means that there has been no one living here for a long time. But if there is no one guarding the city gate here, why is the city gate closed? Senior sister, don't you think this is strange?"
"I thought it was weird, so I went in and had a look. Feng Aya'er bypassed Yun Wuxian and entered the room.
"Senior sister, you wait for me. Yun Wuxian hurriedly followed.
Because Yun Wuxian went in too hurriedly and didn't stand firm, he bumped into Feng Aya'er all of a sudden. Yun Wuxian was about to explain to Feng Aya'er, when he looked up and saw two corpses lying in the room, Yun Wuxian was stunned for a moment.
It's not the first time I've seen a dead person. Even, Yun Wuxian also killed people, although that killing was not from his original intention. Also, when Yun Wuxian stayed overnight in a deserted village, he met with the "ghosts of the Quartet". Yun Wuxian didn't want to be so frightened now.
Dead people are not scary. What was terrifying was the state of the dead that made Yun Wuxian feel very scared.
Judging by the softness of the bodies, two people died no more than two days. One was dressed in gray and the other was dressed in light blue, and the two were still drinking and eating before they died, because there was a plate of peanuts and two wine glasses on the table.
Both of them sat straight on the stool, and what puzzled Yun Wuxian was that the eyes of the two people were facing the upper left corner at the same time, one was looking straight ahead, and the other was twisting his neck and looking back. Whether it was the person who looked directly or the person who turned his head to look, their eyes came out.
When he was a child, Blacksmith Feng reprimanded Yun Wuxian a lot. And the most sentence that Yun Wuxian heard, no matter how hard he tried, he stared out his eyeballs. Yun Wuxian knew that this was a joke. Therefore, he never took it seriously, and he never thought that someone would really stare out of the eyeballs.
Now, Yun Wuxian saw that someone had really stared out their eyes.
For Yun Wuxian, the eyes of the two people came out, and it was not what made Yun Wuxian feel terrifying. What Yun Wuxian couldn't stand was the faces of the two people.
The faces of the dead are not pretty. I can't tell if the faces of these two people are good-looking or not-looking. Yun Wuxian saw that both of them still had smiles on their faces.
Yes, there were smiles on the faces of the two corpses.
There are many kinds of laughter, there are happy laughter, flattering laughter, weak laughter, and proud laughter. But the laughter of these two people was a terrible laugh. When a person can't control it to a certain extent, the whole person will be scared stupid, and an expression will appear on their faces that they don't even know about.
"There were no scars, these two men were scared to death. Feng Aya'er circled around the two corpses and said.
"Scared to death. Yun Wuxian felt a little incredible, it was the first time he had seen someone scared to death. "I was scared to know that someone might be scared silly, but this was the first time I had seen someone scared to death. ”
"It's also the first time I've seen someone scared to death. Feng Aya'er said, "This time, I went down the mountain in a hurry and forgot to bring the 'looking back mirror', otherwise we would have known why they were scared to death." ”
There was an inexplicable gloom in the room, Yun Wuxian didn't want to stay in the room longer, he said to Feng Aya'er: "Senior sister, we haven't found any clues here, otherwise, let's go out and see if there are any suspicious traces outside." ”
Feng Aya'er nodded, Yun Wuxian turned around, accidentally touched one of the corpses, and with a "snap", the corpse fell to the ground, Yun Wuxian felt offended by the deceased, he bent down and was about to help the corpse up. At the moment when Yun Wuxian bent over, he saw a lot of white insects crawling out of the deceased's clothes.
"Senior sister, what is this?" Yun Wuxian asked, pointing at the white worm on the ground.
Feng Aya'er had already walked to the door, and when she heard Yun Wuji's shout, she came back again. Feng Aya'er saw the white insects on the ground, and cried out in a lost voice: "Bone devouring white insects." Brother, run. ”
Before Yun Wuxian could react, Feng Aya'er grabbed Yun Wuji's arm and ran out. Yun Wuxian mixed garlic under his feet and fell. By the time he got up, the worms were already at his feet. Yun Wuxian took the foot and stepped on the bug.
"Squeak!!"
The bug was trampled to death by Yun Wuxi. Then, there was a puddle of black blood. Soon, a lot of bugs crawled out of the black blood.
Yun Wuxian was completely stunned.
Fortunately, Feng Aya'er has seen the world. She was in danger and dragged Yun Wuxian to a corner of the city wall. In the room, white insects followed, and one after another, like endless waves, surged towards Yun Wuji and Feng Aya'er.
Seeing that the insects were getting closer and closer to them, Yun Wuxian heard the "rustling" sound of the insects crawling in his ears, and the goosebumps on his body had already risen.
"Senior sister, what should we do?" looked at the boundless white insects, Yun Wuxian asked tremblingly.
"Don't talk to me, I'm trying to figure it out. Feng Aya'er said, "Corpse insects belong to yin, yin and yang are mutually restrained, yang is yang, and fire is fire." Yes, with fire. ”
Feng Aya'er took out the tongue of fire from her arms, she took off her coat and lit her clothes with the tongue of fire, and then, Feng Aya'er shook her clothes, forming a circle of fire that surrounded the two.
The effect was so remarkable that the insects that were crawling towards them stopped when they encountered the flames. Yun Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, he pulled Feng Aya'er's arm tightly, and his body kept trembling.
Seeing that Feng Aya'er's clothes were about to burn out, the white insects regrouped and crawled towards Yun Wuxi. Yun Wuxian was afraid to take off his clothes and hand them to Feng Aya'er. Feng Aya'er led Yun Wuxi's clothes, the fire was big again, and those insects retreated one after another.
"Senior brother, there will always be a time when the clothes will burn out, so we have to find a way to leave. Feng Aya'er said.
"Senior sister, there are bugs everywhere, how can we get out?" asked Yun Wuji.
"How do I know, you hurry up and figure it out. Feng Aya'er said.
Yun Wuxian looked around and said, "Front, back, left and right, all of them are insects. Unless, let's fly ......"
Speaking of flying, Yun Wuxian immediately remembered that he had learned to "fly with edgeworth". Yun Wuxian took the sword from Feng Aya'er's body and put it on the ground, he looked at the long sword, silently reciting the mantra of "Imperial Sword". Yun Wuxian finished reciting the mantra, and the long sword lay on the ground, not moving.
The clothes in Feng Aya'er's hands were getting smaller and smaller, and the flames were getting weaker and weaker, seeing that the insects were about to surround her, beads of sweat oozed from Yun Wuji's forehead.
He recited the mantra to the sword again, but it remained still.
"Senior sister, why did my spell fail?" said Yun Wuxian.
"Senior brother, you take your clothes, drive away the insects, let me come. Feng Aya'er handed the clothes to Yun Wuxian. Yun Wuxian spun in circles, waving his clothes. Drove the white bugs back and kept a circle.
Feng Aya'er recited two mantras, and the long sword floated. She first let Yun Wuxian step on the hilt of the sword, she got on the sword, and whispered: "Go." ”
After the two lifted off, the white worm on the city gate was gone.
The sword carried the two of them and floated towards the city. Since it was daytime, Feng Aya'er didn't dare to fall in the city. The two of them circled around Qingzhou City several times, and finally found an alley where no one was around, and Feng Aya'er put away her long sword.
It wasn't until this moment that Yun Wuxian let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart that had been tense was relieved.
"Senior sister, how could this be?" asked Yun Wuxian .
Feng Aya'er understood the meaning of Yun Wuxi's words, and she herself wanted to know where those insects came from. It's just that because Yun Wuxian was nervous just now, she was also nervous. Now that she knows that insects are afraid of fire, even if she finds a way to restrain them, those insects will not pose a threat to her.
