Chapter 8 Survey and Preparation
Cui Ziyang got up and opened the door to let drunk Changfeng into the house. Ziyang washed up briefly: "Do you want to leave now?"
"Don't worry, let's go down for breakfast first, and talk while eating. Oh, call your lady, maybe you can help. ”
"Okay. Cui Ziyang went to call Wanfang in response, and drunk Changfeng went to ask for breakfast first.
By the time Ziyang and the white fox arrived, Drunken Changfeng had already drunk three bowls of wine.
"Oh my God, I drink it in the morning, and I still don't want to work?"
"If you don't drink, don't force it, I'll be thirsty if I don't drink for a while. After saying that, he drank it all.
Ziyang and the white fox sat down and listened to the description of the drunken wind while eating.
There is a beggar gathering point in the west city of Jinling, which is actually an empty courtyard and a few dilapidated houses. By the end of the evening, when all the beggars had returned, there were about forty or fifty people.
About ten days ago, an average of people died every day, and the death was strange. It's like being pecked to death by a large bird, and there is no good place on the body, and the flesh is sparse.
Yesterday, after drunk Changfeng passed by nearby and heard about it, he went over to take a look, and it was consistent with the rumors. There was a faint demonic aura left at the scene, which was smelled by the drunken long wind. Even if he didn't see the youkai side in this way, he found it very tricky.
Not to mention how high this demon's cultivation is, the one who rushes at this one with a sharp beak and sharp claws should also have wings. This brings up a very tricky problem, people can fly themselves. So he came back to rest first, and met Cui Ziyang.
Ziyang made up for the scene and looked at the breakfast in his hand: "It's disgusting, I won't eat it." ”
Bai Wanfang didn't care: "The demon who eats people is not necessarily bad, and the demon who doesn't eat people is not necessarily good." Some demons have not yet opened their wisdom, and they just rely on instinct to survive first and then cultivate.
For example, our people will never eat people, and they will eat meat and chicken, even if you say they have wings, I don't see how powerful they are.
But it's also instinctive for us to eat chicken. However, chickens are not often available, and they have not been hunted for a long time, so it is indeed good to think about the taste of chickens. ”
After listening to this, Drunk Changfeng and Cui Ziyang looked at Wanfang with wide eyes. Then they looked at each other for a moment and laughed, "Let's go." ”
The three of them went straight to Xicheng together. Yesterday, Drunk Changfeng came to see it, so he was familiar with the road and found the broken yard.
But when I came back today, it was empty, there was a corpse in the yard, and it should be a female corpse by visual height and hair, because the body was all pecked and the face was unrecognizable. It's completely impossible to tell.
After reading it, Ziyang looked at Drunken Changfeng again.
Drunk Changfeng was sniffing constantly with his nose, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and pouring wine while sniffing.
"That's right, again last night. This man is newly killed. The hair I saw yesterday wasn't that long. After speaking, he slapped himself, and said to Ziyang: "I should have come last night, but I didn't want to meet my brother, and I was happy that I was addicted to alcohol, and I gave another life in vain." ”
Drunk Changfeng was regretting it, Cui Ziyang saw a person outside the door, and took a closer look, it was the old lady last night.
When the old lady saw her benefactor last night, and looked at the corpse in the courtyard, she had mixed feelings, and she couldn't say a word, so she sat on the ground and wept bitterly.
Ziyang hurriedly went over and asked, "Don't cry for the old woman, let us know what's going on." ”
The old lady cried and said, "She is my daughter-in-law." I came back later than the two of them last night, and on the way back I met a lot of people with us, some of them were haunted, some were haunted, and some of them saw my daughter-in-law lying on the ground. They picked me up and ran, ran far away, wouldn't let me come back, and squeezed outside all night. Because I didn't see my son and daughter-in-law, I didn't feel at ease, so when the sun was high, I had the courage to come back and see. ”
When Drunk Changfeng heard that the corpse was the old lady's unfilial daughter-in-law, he didn't blame himself. Immediately restored the refreshing and cheerful mental state.
"If you are so unfilial to your daughter-in-law, don't do it. ”
The old lady cried: "She is no longer filial, and she is also her son's companion, I am old, and I am the one who should die first." My son is also gone, probably running away. That's a good thing. I'm going to find him. ”
Cui Ziyang softened his heart and helped the old lady up: "We made a special trip to investigate the murder case today, the old woman will go to find the people you are with first, it is safer for more people to be together." Your son won't lose it if he runs away, and he's not too small, right? Don't come back here for a while. Don't move the body for the time being, it's too dangerous here, you can go first. ”
The old lady had no choice but to nod, nodded and turned around and staggered away.
After sending the old lady away, Cui Ziyang turned around and discussed with Drunk Changfeng. Since the laws of human life appear at night, it is better to come and squat at night. Changfeng agreed.
Ziyang discussed with Wanfang again: "I said beauty, we are also a team, don't you sleep all day? We want to go back to make up for sleep and prepare for the big battle at night." Either you work hard during the day. ”
The white fox smiled: "It's okay if you don't sleep for three days, but you're beautiful, it's too lonely to leave me alone, so I won't do it." ”
Drunk Changfeng pointed to the body of the girl: "With it with you, will you be lonely?"
"Bah, you're sorry for you. Wanfang turned back to Ziyang and said, "Let's go first, I'll come early before dark at night." ”
Ziyang nodded and thought about it, wasting anyone's time is also a crime.
Go out and turn the street. Cui Ziyang had an idea: "I have to get some weapons, just two empty claws, and I can't chase that unfilial girl." ”
So he said his thoughts, drunk Changfeng has no shortage of weapons, and it is important to go back to drinking. Wanfang is willing to stay and accompany Ziyang to go shopping.
The two of them inquired and walked, and after an hour of turning, they finally saw a shop that sold tools to ward off evil spirits.
Ziyang explained his intentions, and the shopkeeper brought a few things. Peach wood sword, gossip mirror, jade whisk dust, cinnabar, paper and pen, etc. Ziyang looked at it and used it, and finally asked the shopkeeper to make a yellow pennant, which was simply embroidered with a few simple symbols such as ground, water, fire, and wind.
After settling the bill, the two continued to look for a blacksmith shop to get a real sword. The peachwood sword can cut ghosts, but it's not good to meet a demon with meat.
The blacksmith shop is much better in comparison, after all, it is not unpopular, the soldiers are in chaos, and those who have a little money have to buy some weapons to spare.
When I came to the front of a store, there were a variety of swords on the counter. In the spirit of improvisation, Ziyang bought a "seven-star sword" with a length of two feet and four inches, because the sword is engraved with seven stars, so it can be used without waiting for it to be cast and played. The blade of the sword is quite sharp, and the scabbard is also quaint, which is also favorite.
Out of the store, Wanfang was unhappy: "I've been shopping with you for a long time, your things are ready, what about mine?"
"By the way, what weapons did you use to fight? I said I bought them all together, but it's still early, and it's too late to buy them when I go back." ”
"You don't need it, I'll pick it and you can give it money. Cui Ziyang nodded in agreement.
On the way back to the inn, a shop selling jewelry almost put everything on the road to sell. Bai Wanfang took a silver hairpin in her hand, and Chong Ziyang smiled: "Give the money." ”
It suddenly dawned on her that this fox fairy Aimei wanted some compensation and regarded herself as a wronged leader. Ziyang nodded, and Bai Wanfang happily slipped away first.
Cui Ziyang returned to the lobby of the inn and saw the drunken long wind at a glance, mixing sauce beef with sorghum wine.
