Chapter 25: The Devil Cryes and the Cat Laughs
This alley is located on the west side of Yiling City, where the houses are low and dilapidated, with mud walls and thatched roofs, even small courtyards are rare, and the streets are overflowing with sewage and foul smells.
Only the lowliest, the poorest people are forced to gather here.
It would have been a great hideout, as no one would have thought to come here to find someone.
Of course, those Wudang disciples also thought so.
But they forget that no matter how much they hide, clues will inevitably be revealed.
And the killer assassin is the one who is best at finding clues.
So they all died.
Not only did they die, but their heads were taken off.
Yu Xiaoyao had seen and killed people, but the scene in front of him still made his stomach twitch.
The smile on Fajing's face disappeared, he folded his hands and said softly, "Sin, sin." ”
Yan Tierou sighed, and Yu Xiaoyao was thrown to the ground by him, only to see his fists clenched, his eyes were about to split, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
In front of them, five Wudang disciples were neatly placed on the ground.
The reason why it is said to be neat and tidy is because there are five corpses lined up in the middle, but the heads and limbs of the corpses have been removed, the head and the head are placed together, and the left arm and left arm are placed together.
It's like a butcher who sells meat, and he has to sell the front leg of the pig separately from the hind leg of the pig.
Yu Xiaoyao leaned against the door frame and gently closed her eyes.
He no longer wanted to look at the tragedy in front of him.
Yan Tierou took a few deep breaths and suppressed the anger in her heart with her authentic internal strength method. He stepped forward and examined the body carefully.
"Elder Yan, if you don't mind, please take a look at the cross-sectional sections of the limbs and heads, are they uneven?" Yu Xiaoyao said.
Yan Tierou was taken aback when she heard this, and looked carefully, and sure enough, "How do you know?"
Yu Xiaoyao sighed and said, "Because it was torn from the body by life, not cut off with a sword. ”
Fajing suddenly realized, and said in a deep voice: "Amitabha, it turned out to be them. ”
Yu Xiaoyao whispered: "The ghost cries and the night terror, and the cat laughs and kills." I can't think of anyone else who can do this except for the ghost crying and laughing. ”
Yan Tie said softly: "The corpse still has residual warmth, they must not have gone far yet!"
Fa Jing looked at Yu Xiaoyao and said, "They are also people from the Liuhe Dao?"
Yu Xiaoyao said: "I don't know if they are the people of Liuhe Dao, but I know that they must be coming for my head." ”
Yan Tierou almost gritted the steel teeth in her mouth, "It's good! It's good! I'm going to slaughter these two ghost cats tonight!"
Just now he was complaining about the stench outside, but now Yu Xiaoyao actually felt that the smell was not so bad.
At least it smells better than the almost drowning blood gas.
There was a bone-chilling chill in the wind of the autumn night, and there was a faint cry coming from the wind.
Yu Xiaoyao perked up and was about to speak, but saw Yan Tierou and Fa Jing come to the door together, staring closely at the thatched roof opposite.
Yu Xiaoyao raised his eyes and saw two green flames floating in the air, like two ghost fires.
The two ghost fires disappeared suddenly, almost no sound was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the ghost fire appeared on the ground again, and floated towards the three of them with a tremble.
Through the moonlight, Yu Xiaoyao finally saw the body of the ghost fire.
A solid black cat.
The cat's fur was oily and smooth, shimmering in the moonlight, and it had an elegant gait, not afraid of people, and it was used to being pampered on weekdays.
Yu Xiaoyao has also seen cats in this kind of alley, all of them are dirty, with wisps of hair all over their bodies, and their eyes are shining with a fierce light that no one should enter.
Compared to the cat in front of him, it was like the difference between a beggar and an emperor.
After all, people who live in such places may not even be able to feed themselves, so where is they in the mood to raise cats.
If the cat appeared on the lap of a noble lady, or walked in the courtyard of that high mansion, it would not be strange at all.
But the cat just appeared here, in this dilapidated alley.
The black cat gracefully walked up to them, then squatted down and stared at them straight at them.
"What an aura for a cat. "Even if this cat could speak, I wouldn't be surprised." ”
The black cat seemed to understand him, and it grinned and let out a shrill laugh like a fingernail cutting through a tile.
"The slave's gift, I don't know if you have received it. ”
It actually spoke, and it was a woman's voice.
Of course, cats can't speak, and the person who speaks must be close to the left, but the sound is like coming out of the cat's mouth.
"Demon girl!" Yan Tierou burst out and leaned forward, going to catch this black cat with evil aura all over his body.
A dignified martial arts elder, a famous martial arts master, to catch a cat, it is really a simple thing.
The black cat didn't even have time to hide, and was held by Yan Tierou's big hands.
"Giggles. The black cat let out a series of oozing laughter from its throat again, and the little cat's mouth opened and suddenly exhaled a breath of black gas.
No one would have thought that cats could also plot against people.
Yan Tierou didn't expect it, so he was sprayed by this black breath.
"Ahh
Fa Jing pointed out that it was like the wind, snapped a few acupoints on Yan Tierou's body, and took out a pill from his sleeve and fed it into Yan Tierou's mouth. Yan Tierou sat down cross-legged, his heart turned to the sky, and began to exercise to dissolve the toxicity in his body.
The faint cry rang out again, this time it seemed closer.
Fajing said in a low voice: "It's better for you two to cover your ears." ”
Yan Tierou nodded and covered her ears. Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly on the side: "Master, you have untied the acupoint on my arm." ”
Fa Jing didn't say much, and reached out to untie the acupoints of Yu Xiaoyao's arms.
Yu Xiaoyao hurriedly covered his ears.
The hundred clothes on Fajing's body were swollen again by the internal force, and he exhaled and shouted: "Demon, don't show up yet!"
This sound was a lion's roar infused with the true qi of Buddhism, even if Yu Xiaoyao covered his ears and was shocked by this sound, he felt that the blood in his chest was surging, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
The cry seemed to be frightened by the lion's roar, and it stopped.
Yu Xiaoyao exhaled and said, "What a powerful Buddhist lion roars, if you used this trick just now, I would have to kneel and beg for mercy." ”
Fa Jing shook his head, he didn't need the lion's roar just now, because there were many people with internal strength among the onlookers, and his move would inevitably hurt the innocent. At this time and now, except for the three of them, those who have internal strength must be people who harbor evil intentions, and they have no scruples about talent.
"Cluck, cluck. The piercing laughter sounded again in the darkness, making people's scalps tingle.
With this burst of laughter, a woman came out of the darkness.
When he saw her, Yu Xiaoyao almost thought that the black cat had become a sperm.
She was not dark, on the contrary, her skin was like a fine piece of rice paper, delicate, white, and even faintly glittered in the moonlight. Outside of this paper-white skin, there was a pure black fur coat, as black as the black cat.
But what made Yu Xiaoyao think of the black cat was not her dress, but her elegant posture, her lazy and cold look, and her emerald green eyes.
Eerie and beautiful emerald green eyes.
"The master is so angry, it's not that he doesn't like the slave's gift. She stood three feet away from the doorway, looking at Fajing with a smile in her eyes.
Fa Jing said: "Amitabha, the female donor must be a cat laughing, the donor has created boundless killing, and it will soon bring disaster to itself." It is necessary to know that the sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore. ”
She covered her mouth and chuckled: "Master is really interesting, don't you know that the sea of blood is boundless, and there is no shore to turn back!?"
Her voice went from light to heavy, from slow to urgent, and when she said the word shore, a black smoke suddenly erupted from her mouth, and this black smoke quickly enveloped her and obscured her figure.
Yan Tierou was exercising to suppress the poison, and when he saw this scene, he thought that Mao Xiao was going to run, and he didn't care about the remaining poison, so he jumped up and wanted to catch the black mist.
The black mist suddenly exploded, and a green-scaled giant python with a thickness of a few feet suddenly shot out of the black mist, and its mouth opened wide, swallowing towards Yan Tierou, as if it wanted to swallow him into his stomach.
Yan Tierou faced the giant python, he was not afraid, his feet were steady, his right palm was closed at his waist without hair, and his left palm was drawn in a circle, which was the authentic Taijiquan.
A person and a python collided together, only to hear the sound of "pop", and the giant python turned into a black mist again, and gradually dissipated in the air.
It turned out that the giant python was an illusion.
"Cluck, cluck. Mao Xiao had already taken advantage of the black fog to jump onto the roof opposite, sneered at the three people below, and then turned and ran.
"The demon girl is not running!" Yan Tierou was angry, and his five beloved disciples were lost to this woman, how could he not hate in his heart, how not to be in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, the two had disappeared into the darkness.
Yu Xiaoyao said: "Master, if you want to chase people later, you might as well untie the acupoints on my legs first." Otherwise, if I die, I am afraid that this debt will fall on the master's head. ”
Fa Jing clicked on him a few times, not only on the acupoints on his arms, but also on the acupoints on his mouth.
Now that Yu Xiaoyao wants to protest, he can only crook his eyes.
The faint cry rang out again, circling back and forth around the room, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, ethereal, very unreal.
Fa Jing sat down cross-legged beside Yu Xiaoyao, chanting the scriptures in a low voice, he had made up his mind that he would never leave Yu Xiaoyao for half a step.
The cry circled around a few times, and then suddenly stopped.
After a pause of about a few breaths, the cry began again, but this time it was not the faint ghost crying, but the loud cry of a baby.
Yu Xiaoyao closed his eyes helplessly, he knew that Fajing was also going out.
Fa Jing really stood up and strode out.
The cry suddenly stopped, and sounded again a little farther away.
Fa Jing chased farther and farther, and finally disappeared.
Yu Xiaoyao looked at the five "people" who were neatly arranged in the room, and sighed in his heart, it seems that it is only me and you.
This may not be bad, because at least the dead don't hurt anyone.
A large, withered and thin hand suddenly reached in from outside the door and rested on Yu Xiaoyao's shoulder.
The nails on this hand were deeply embedded in Yu Xiaoyao's flesh, almost touching his bones.
But not only did Yu Xiaoyao have no way to escape, but he couldn't even scream.
I can only wait for death in silence.
"Looks like your head is mine after all. Cui Ji smiled behind him, "Don't be afraid, I'm not the ghost cat, I will use a knife." ”
A cold knife rested on Yu Xiaoyao's neck, chilling to the bone.
But the knife can't cut it anymore.
For a voice sounded behind him.
"If you cut off his head, then the slave family will have to take off your head, clucking. ”
The cold sweat on Cui Ji's forehead flowed, and the cat laughed silently behind him, but he didn't realize that such light work, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape if he wanted to.
"Let's go. Cui Jidao.
The cat smiled and smiled very happily: "If you want to steal my things, you still want to leave without saying a word, how can there be such a reason." ”
Cui Ji blinked and said, "Then what do you want." ”
The cat laughed and said, "Leave one arm and one leg." ”
Cui Ji roared angrily, his five fingers bent into the shape of an eagle's claw, his arm turned incredibly, and his right paw backhanded at the cat behind him in an incredible way.
He had used this trick to kill several people who had attacked him from behind, all by surprise and tried and tested.
So he was very confident in this move.
But his grasp was missed.
He didn't have time to appreciate what it was like to be overwhelmed by fear, and the whole person suddenly flipped over Yu Xiaoyao's head, and into this small room, he kicked the broken limbs on the ground, knocked down the table where the head was placed, smashed through the earthen wall opposite, and fled in a panic like a prey being chased by a hunter.
But he couldn't escape, in fact, he was thrown back as soon as he broke through the wall.
The cat smiled and walked through the big hole in the wall, her right foot lightly stepped on Cui Ji's arm, her laughter was sharp, but her voice was soft.
"Cluck, don't be afraid, I won't use a knife. ”
This was originally what Cui Ji said to Yu Xiaoyao just now, but at this moment, it was used on himself in turn.
Cat Xiao gently grabbed one of his arms and legs and tugged lightly.
It's like plucking a flower from its stem.
Cui Ji howled miserably, and died of pain.
The black cat walked in from outside the door, didn't look at Yu Xiaoyao, walked straight to Cui Ji's side, and licked the blood flowing from Cui Ji's body vigorously.
Although the acupuncture channel has been sealed, Yu Xiaoyao can still keenly feel the uneasy commotion in this dead and silent alley like a tomb.
The wolves lurking in the shadows are leaving.
But Yu Xiaoyao's heart was not much easier, he knew that these people who left were not terrible, what was terrible was those who were still left.
Maoxiao stuck out her tongue, like the black cat, gently licking the blood on her fingers, she looked at Yu Xiaoyao with a smile, and the green light in her eyes became even more abundant.
