Chapter 18 Outsiders
Tian Yinzhen practiced in the well for ten days, although the cultivation is not by leaps and bounds, it is difficult to face this rare **, and it is worth the frightened cultivation in the ghost world for more than a month, ten days later, she felt a little tired, so she regained her spirit, stretched her waist for a long time, and turned out of the well.
As soon as she came out, she felt that the atmosphere in the city was very wrong, and the yin qi seemed to be much thicker than ten days ago, so she couldn't help but leave the house and walk around the city.
Passing by a stall selling steamed buns, I bought two meat buns, and I wanted the old man who sold the buns to ask: "Uncle is doing good business?"
"Hey, don't mention it. The gray-haired old man waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Where can it be good? Since several terrible and strange things happened in the city in a few days, there has not been a day of peace, and many families have run away, and the old man's business is getting worse and worse day by day, maybe he will not be able to do it one day." β
Tian Yinzhen thought secretly in his heart, gave the old man two copper coins, and continued to shop while eating steamed buns, and when he passed by the yamen of the county guard's mansion, he found that in addition to the strict access control, there was actually a monk and a Taoist priest sitting at the door.
I saw that these two people were in their forties, with very serious expressions, and they didn't seem to deal with each other very much, and they were far away, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this.
The Taoist priest immediately stretched out his finger and pointed at her, and asked unhappily: "Little girl, what are you laughing at? I see that you are smiling with bad intentions, most of them are monsters in the city!"
"You bull-nosed, so unreasonable, I'm a demon? I think it's purely your bloody mouth!" After Tian Yinzhen changed into a woman, her temper was not much better than before, where was she willing to suffer this kind of loss in vain, and after taking a closer look, she found that this Taoist priest was not really angry, and he was not a master, so he sneered and replied.
"You... You talk nonsense. When the Taoist priest heard this, he was immediately angry, and he stood up to arrest Tian Yinzhen, but was called down by the monk.
"Amitabha, Fang Daochang, the little girl is not sensible, she is talking and laughing nonsense, so don't be like her. β
"This monk is a good man. Tian Yinzhen thought to herself, made a grimace at the monk, and was about to leave, but the monk suddenly said to her: "Little girl, the poor monk has something to understand, can I ask you." β
"Master, do you ask me?" Tian Yinzhen couldn't help but secretly say: "Is it being seen?" But he still pretended to be ignorant and innocent, and said with a sweet smile in a crisp and pleasant voice: "The master is a high-ranking monk, the little girl is still young, and she doesn't know what to do, if the master has anything to ask, if the little woman says something wrong, don't be surprised." β
"Hehe, don't blame it. The middle-aged monk also nodded and smiled when he heard this, and said, "Little girl, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Tian, the field of the field. Tian Yinzhen replied without thinking.
"Oh. Hearing this, the monk nodded and continued to ask, "The poor monk asked you, where have you been in the past few days, and where have you come from?"
When Tian Yinzhen heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, but in order not to let the other party suspect him, he had to say: "I'm not a local, I arrived in Heyang City ten days ago, and I came to visit relatives, so naturally I live in a relative's house." β
"Haha!" When the monk heard this, he looked up and laughed, shook his head and said: "Little girl, the poor monk has a good intention, why do you want to deceive the poor monk, you have just come out of a place where the yin qi is very heavy, and you have stayed for at least more than a day, if the poor monk had three suspicions before, but now he is convinced." β
When Tian Yinzhen heard this, he secretly complained in his heart: "What a powerful monk." "Just turn around and run.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest couldn't help but be anxious, and immediately wanted to pursue, but was stopped by the monk with his hand: "Fang Daoyou don't need to worry. β
"You're not in a hurry, since you can see it, why don't you catch up, this little girl is probably a terrible ghost in the city, as long as you catch her, all problems will be solved." β
The Taoist priest's words were quite unhappy, but when the middle-aged monk heard this, he laughed again: "Fang Daoyou, if you really want to chase, then go and chase, but the poor monk will not move, if the poor monk moves, then he really has no eyes." β
"What, does Master Murong think that the poor Dao has eyes and no beads?" The Taoist priest was extremely unhappy when he heard this, and the monk sighed, simply closed his eyes and continued to close his eyes to recuperate, ignoring him no longer.
Tian Yinzhen ran for a while, and saw that no one was catching up behind him, so he was greatly relieved, the Taoist priest was okay, but the monk was far more powerful than she imagined, needless to say, I am afraid that as soon as she appeared nearby, the monk would see her true body, and I don't know where the monk came from, but the Taoist priest's skills are ordinary, and when he meets the real ghost, he is afraid that it is not that he catches ghosts and subdues demons, but is easily subdued by the ghost.
Unconsciously, the whole city turned around, Tian Yinzhen finally knew the whole story of what happened in Heyang City in the past few days, since the day he found the person who died tragically on the gatehouse, there have been a series of murders in the city, either which family was poisoned and died overnight, or a fire broke out in the middle of the night on a certain street, burning down seventy or eighty houses, all in all, no less than 100 people died in just seven or eight days, and everyone was in danger, and then I don't know what happened The news leaked, and everyone in the city knew that even Li You, the son of the county guard, was killed by the evil ghost, and the atmosphere of panic was even strongerγ
Heyang County Jiedu envoy had no choice, sent 3,000 soldiers to patrol the city day and night, suppressing the evil spirit, and the people's hearts settled down a little, but the people who fled were still in an endless stream, if this situation continued, or three months, the entire Heyang County would probably become a ghost town.
