Text Chapter 72 Eating Heart
The white moonlight, like a waterfall, fell on the earth.
Shuai Guo and his party arrived in the town.
The doors of the houses were closed, there was not a single pedestrian on the road, and even the watchman did not see the watchman. There are no lights in every house.
"It's only time. ”
"So early, the people of this town turned off the lights and went to sleep. ”
The painter said, "It's a little strange. ”
Walking along the street, I saw a sign hanging in front of me, which said Ping An Inn, but the door was closed, but through the window paper, I could still see the faint light in the house.
Sigh......
The painter parked the carriage in front of the inn.
Shuai Guo got out of the car, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is there anyone?"
"We want accommodation. ”
Inside, there was only a click, like something falling to the ground, and then the lights went out.
I'll go.
In ancient times, there were bells that covered their ears, and now there are knocks on the door and turned off the lights.
Shuai Guo shouted a few more times that there were people inside, but he didn't make a sound, weird, through weird.
Facing this street, I walked forward, and knocked on the doors of several inns in a row, but no one responded.
The painter said, "Strange? ”
Shuai Guo also found out that this town is strange, "It's very strange, I knocked on a few doors, but no one responded." There were people in the house, but they were silent. This means that they can't speak, or they don't dare to speak, for fear of getting something bad. ”
The painter said lightly, "Could it be that if you say something at night, can you attract any demons and monsters?"
Shuai Guo said solemnly, "It's very possible." ”
"Don't you scare me?"
"Don't worry, there is a little monk here, demons and monsters, he can suppress it. ”
The painter wondered, "How do I feel, you're fooling me." ”
Only then did you realize that in this world, there are no demons and monsters, they are all scaring themselves.
The wind blows the leaves, and it rattles.
The town was so big that it quickly came to an end.
Under a stone archway, where the carriage is parked, the inn is closed, and the carriage can only be spent one night tonight.
The painter drove the carriage for a day, and when he was tired, he fell asleep first. The little monk sat in the carriage for a day and was tired. The roaring dog was lying next to the handsome pot.
The handsome pot plate sits on the board of the car.
Looking at the roaring dog, I was very relieved, I wanted to really meet the bull ghost, snake god or something, took out the dagger, slashed the leg of the roaring dog, and received a bowl of black dog blood to suppress evil and exorcise demons.
That's what it was recorded in that book.
Another can be trusted, and it is not believed that it is not.
The dog slept soundly, and he didn't know that his master had a vicious intention of letting it bleed. If it had known, it would have been unable to sleep well this night.
Sitting on the board of the car, it was night, and the wind blew, and it was a little cold. The whistling dog rubbed into Shuai Guo's arms and curled up into a ball of meat.
Shuai Guo smiled, closed his eyes, and practiced meditation.
The wind is whistling......
When he opened his eyes, he saw a dark shadow flashing in the distance, and he said to himself, "That can't be a ghost, is it? "I hugged the whistling dog in my arms even tighter.
The Howling Dog was almost suffocated by his hugs, kicking on all fours, desperately trying to break free.
The shadow stood there for a moment, and then left.
Shuaiguo's tense nerves eased, his hand loosened, and the howling dog finally broke free, left his embrace, and continued to sleep.
Shuai Guo sat there cross-legged, paying attention to the surrounding environment, and after half a tea time, the black shadow appeared again, only to see that it was not in front of him, but under the eaves on the right.
"Did you really encounter a ghost?"
It's pitch black, I can only roughly see the outline, the handsome pot doesn't dare to move, no matter how high the martial arts are, I'm afraid of ghosts.
In fact, Shuai Guo can only use light skills, and in a moment, he can reach the position where the black shadow is standing.
One is afraid, and the other is that the other party just scared him, and did not attack him, and he still tolerated it.
The ghost swayed in the wind, swaying and swaying, strange and infiltrating.
Yes!
A scream came from afar.
It was the child's cry, but then it stopped, and the black shadow was stunned, and quickly ran in the direction of the child's cry, and the handsome pot also felt that it was not good, and woke up the whistling dog, and let it stare at the point, and if there was any problem, it barked.
Then he chased after him, with a light step, and performed light skills, 'like a shadow, moving with the wind'. Closely followed the dark shadow.
I saw that in front of me, an old witch with a face full of tumors, holding a child in one hand. The other hand, already through the child's chest, pulled away his heart.
The black shadow shouted loudly, and it was a woman's voice, "Stop it." ”
"Ziziz. ”
The heart-eating witch ignored her, as soon as her hand was released, the child's body fell to the ground, and the small heart held in the other hand had stopped beating, only to see her slowly put it to her mouth, and ate it one bite at a time, and there was blood on her hands and mouth.
Turning his head, staring blankly at the black shadow, Sen said coldly, "Do you want to eat?"
The black shadow froze there, frightening her, she had never seen such a terrifying scene, and stammered, "You... You..."
"Ziziz, little heart, it's delicious, it's just a little less. ”
"I remember your taste. ”
After speaking, she turned around and lifted the corpse, and the mechanical one left, Zheng Qi stood there in fright, not daring to move, unable to move, her legs were trembling, and she didn't even have the courage to speak or draw her sword.
Shuai Guo also saw this scene, and was also frightened, eating people's hearts, and when the heart-eating demon woman left, he saw the black shadow sitting on the ground.
Shuai Guo hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up from behind.
It's still a little soft, a little fragrant, I'll go, under this black robe, it's a woman.
Zheng Qi felt someone help him up, ah! screamed, and hurriedly retreated a few steps in fright, and when he saw it, it was the man in the carriage before, and said, "It's you, what do you want to do?"
"I just want to help you up. ”
Zheng Qi was shocked, slowed down, and said, "You saw it all?"
Shuai Guo said coldly, "Who is she?"
"Heart-eating witch. Zheng Qi said solemnly, "Eating people's hearts, I will kill her sooner or later." ”
You were so scared that you didn't dare to move, and you wanted to kill her. In fact, in the scene just now, Shuai Guo was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and when he reacted, he secretly scolded himself, he had never seen any strong winds and waves, and he was actually frightened by an old witch who ate his heart.
If he met during the day, of course he was not afraid, but now it was night.
Woo woo...
Zheng Qi suddenly squatted on the ground and cried.
Why did she cry, Shuai Guo was baffled by her, and only heard Zheng Qi say, "I'm going to die." ”
Shuai Guo looked at her carefully a few times and said, "You're not injured, why are you going to die?"
"She said that she remembered my taste, and she would definitely come to me, dig out my heart and eat it, what should I do, what should I do. ”
I said before that I was going to kill the heart-eating demon woman, but now I'm afraid to die.
To put it bluntly, I just want to eliminate harm for the sake of the name, but I don't have the ability.
"Then why did you come here at night? Looking at your previous actions, you must have come to kill the heart-eating demon woman, but you don't want to see if you have the ability to do it yourself, you didn't kill people, and you have to take your own life. ”
Zheng Qidao, "I... I... I can't just watch someone die. ”
In the past half a month, every night, someone will be gouged out of their hearts, and a few days ago, people were organized to patrol at night, but every night, there are still people whose hearts are gouged out.
At night, the patrol saw the picture of the Heart-Eater Witch eating her heart, and the frightened gongs fell to the ground and stumbled out, but they were scared silly, and they repeatedly chanted in their mouths, "Heart-Eater Witch!"
Since then, no one dares to patrol, every day when it is dark, the door is closed, the lights are out, even if they hear movement, they dare not answer or go out to see, lest the heart-eating witch stares at him.
And every night, the heart-eating witch kills one person and eats only one heart.
"Tomorrow night, she will definitely come to me, what to do, what to do?" looked up at Shuai Guo and said, "You're passing by, you'll leave tomorrow, right?"
Shuai Guo nodded.
"Take me away!"
Shuai Guo looked at her suspiciously, she was so scared that she didn't have the ability to think, you don't even know who I am, just let me take you away.
What if I'm a bad person?
Seeing that Shuai Guo didn't speak, she said again, "I'll pay you the money." ”
Shuai Guo thought about it, this was okay, and he only heard Zheng Qi say to himself, "I'm going to the martial arts sect and ask someone to get rid of this heart-eating demon woman." ”
Shuai Guo said lightly, "Even if you go to invite, why should others come." ”
"Isn't it their duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, that's what is written in the books. ”
Shuai Guo said, "If it were so easy, the rivers and lakes would be peaceful, and there would not be so many disputes." ”
"I didn't raise them for nothing, I spent money. ”
As soon as he heard the silver, Shuai Guo became interested and said, "How do you look at me?" I am also a master, you invite me, I will help you get rid of the heart-eating demon woman." ”
Zheng Qi looked at him, looking at him about the same age as himself, is he really good? Don't be like yourself, it's half a scoop of water, and the light is nothing.
Look at the big night again, lonely men and widows.
Shuai Guo also saw it, and said, "Where is your home, I'll send you back first, right?"
Zheng Qi nodded.
Shuai Guo said as he walked, "You are a little girl, you dare to come late at night to kill that heart-eating demon woman, your courage is commendable!"
Zheng Qi retorted, "My little girl, you don't look big, and you're embarrassed to say that my little girl is a family, so why did you chase after me?"
Shuai Guo thought for a while and said, "Driven by curiosity, and at that time, I didn't know that there would be people who would eat their hearts." If I knew..... I'd chase a ghost. ”
After a while, he arrived in front of the compound, and Zheng Qi led the handsome pot around the back door.
She said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll go to you and discuss countermeasures." She gently pushed open the back door, entered, and shut.
When Shuai Guo came back to his senses, he forgot that he didn't talk about the cost. Although it is said that it is to eliminate demons and defend the way, it will eliminate harm for the people. However, if you have the money to take, you will have more power.
The handsome pot turned around.
In one longitudinal, he jumped onto the roof, and in the dark night, he exerted light skills, followed the shadow, moved with the wind, stepped on the roof, and only heard a few sounds of feet stepping on the ridge of the roof, and then came to the side of the carriage.
When I got closer, the whistling dogs were asleep.
Putting you on duty, you actually fell asleep, and this time, he resisted the urge to whine the dog.
I got into the carriage, sat cross-legged and closed my eyes, and fell into a light sleep. If there's any movement, you can wake up at any time.
Nothing was said all night.
