Chapter 15: Fraud 1
Teng County Yangxin County is located in the north of the Ming Dynasty, although it has just entered the winter, but due to the heavy snow in recent days, it has not stopped for three consecutive days, and the snow has reached a foot, so many merchants are no longer in a hurry, but to find an inn to stay nearby!
Five or six miles away from the county seat, there is a village called a vegetable shop. The village chief in the village saved some capital when he was young, but now that he is old and does not want to be running around, he and his son opened a hotel in the village for passing tourists to stay.
Among them were several coachmen, hauling things back and forth, and always staying with him. In the evening of that day, due to heavy snowfall, the road to the county seat was blocked.
"Well, I don't know how long the snow will stop. A few merchants on the official road walked slowly, and one of the middle-aged men sighed at the still fluttering snow. This man seems to be more shrewd, and he is the leader of this group, because he is the sixth oldest in the family, so everyone he knows calls him Wang Liulang! Generally, Wang Liulang comes forward to deal with people, and the other three are more convinced.
"Yes, although it snowed in previous years, it was never like this year, when winter first began for a few days and nights. The other chimed in.
"Strange to say, it was supposed to be snowing and not too cold on this day, but I've heard that some villages have frozen to death. "Another humane.
"Liulang, it's getting dark now, and we're going to the vegetable village soon, why don't we go to the hotel opened by the old village chief for the night? After all, it's too cold..."
The rest of the people all nodded in agreement!
At this moment, the snow was raised, and a figure flashed, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had floated out dozens of feet...
Several people who were hurrying were sprinkled by the stirred snow, and one couldn't help but say angrily: "Damn, who is so immoral?"
"Okay, third child, looking at the appearance of others, it must be someone who has practiced advanced martial arts, don't let people hear that they come back to trouble you?" Wang Liulang said quickly when he heard this fellow villager scolding!
When the townsfolk heard this, they realized something, so they stopped talking!
After a while, the four of them saw the inn and stopped. When Wang Liulang came to the store, he first asked if there was a place to live? Because of the snow, it was full today, and although the village chief wanted to make more money, he had no place for Liulang to live. So the old village chief said to Wang Liulang: The store is full.
Wang Liulang thought that the four of them had no other place to go now, and it was too cold outside, so he insisted on asking to stay and gave the village chief some more silver. When the village chief saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he pondered for a while and thought of a place, but he was afraid that the guests would not be satisfied. So he said: "Old man, my daughter-in-law just died, so I left the body in the house, and my son went out to buy a coffin and didn't come back." Although the house has a funeral bed, the house is very quiet, I don't know if Liulang would like to live?" Wang Liulang thought about it, the four of them were still afraid of a corpse, and besides, there was really no place to live, so he said to the village chief: "As long as there is a place with tiles, where do you dare to pick and choose." ”
As soon as the village chief saw that the money had arrived, he led Wang Liulang and others through the street and into the house, only to see that the lights on the table were dim. Behind the table were tents and clothes, and a quilt made of paper covered the deceased. And the place where Wang Liulang and the others slept was in the room inside. There was a large bed attached to it, which could sleep four people! They were very tired from running around all day, so as soon as their heads were touched on the pillow, their breath slowly became thicker. Only Wang Liulang was still in a daze, and suddenly heard a rustling sound on the bed, and hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see the light in front of the spiritual bed: the light was very bright, and the female corpse had already lifted the quilt and got up. After a while, he walked down and slowly walked into the bedroom. Her face was pale golden, and a white scarf wrapped around her forehead. She stooped close to the bed, and blew through the other three lying villagers. Wang Liulang felt very frightened, afraid that it would be his turn, so he quietly pulled the quilt to cover his head, held his breath and swallowed and waited. It didn't take long for the female corpse to come over and blow him like everyone else. Sensing that she had walked out of the room, she heard the sound of a quilt made of paper. He squinted and peeked, only to see that she was already lying as stiff as she had been. Wang Liulang was even more frightened, he didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly stepped on the other guests with his feet, but they didn't move at all. If you think about it, there is no strategy, it is better to get dressed and run away.
As soon as I got up and picked up my clothes, the rustling sound sounded again. Wang Liulang was frightened, so he lay down again and shrunk his head into the quilt. I felt that the female corpse was coming again, and I blew it several times in a row before leaving. After a while, he heard a sound from the funeral bed, and knew that he was lying down again. So he reached out from under the quilt to find his pants, put them on very quickly, and ran out barefoot. At this time, the female corpse also got up, as if to chase him. As soon as she left the curtain, Wang Liulang had already opened the deadbolt of the door. The female corpse ran after him. Wang Liulang shouted while running, it stands to reason that the people in the village should wake up, but the fact is that there are no vigilant people in the village. So he wanted to knock on the door of the village chief's shop again, but he was afraid that he would be overtaken by him, so he ran away as hard as he could towards the county seat.
When I arrived at the eastern suburbs of the county, I caught a glimpse of a ruined temple, and vaguely saw a trace of fire through the crack in the door, so I hurriedly ran to where, and when there was still a distance of dozens of zhang, a figure suddenly appeared in front. At this time, the clouds opened and the moon appeared, and the cold moonlight fell like water, reflecting the figure and face of the comer.
I saw that he had thick eyebrows and a high nose, a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, wearing green clothes, at first glance he looked like an outstanding scholar, but when he looked at it a second time, he couldn't help but feel turbulent, and an indescribable majesty approached the center of his eyebrows, which made people subconsciously want to look away.
Wang Liulang was shocked and said, "Sir, save me?"
I saw that the scholar gave him a strange look, and then he took a step behind him, and he didn't see how he accelerated, only took three or two steps, and in the blink of an eye, he easily crossed the space and came to the female corpse. This person is the figure that Wang Liulang and others met in the evening, when Xu Yang just learned a body method, called "Nine Steps of the Spirit Snake" is a technique in the book of life and death that can only be learned in the manifestation period, and it is also the only physical exercise that Xu Yang has learned at present, after all, although Xu Yang's soul is strong, but the body is extremely ordinary! So after learning the nine steps of the spirit snake, I couldn't help but use it, the effect is not bad, although there is no soul out of the body after a thousand miles a day, but the day travel five hundred miles is still more than rubbing! Because of the spirit snake nine steps to hurry, and missed the Caicun Hotel Xu Yang had to find a broken temple to live, and now I heard someone outside shouting for help, so I came out to check, so there was a scene just now!
At this time, Xu Yang looked at the female corpse in front of him very strangely, and couldn't help whispering to himself: "This female corpse has a faint green aura between her eyebrows. And her ears and ear chakras also have the same symptoms, if you don't look carefully, you really don't see it, it seems that someone has trained her into a corpse charm, but this corpse charm doesn't seem to be very powerful?
Although he hasn't figured it out yet, Xu Yang still didn't have the power to destroy the female corpse, in fact, it wasn't a solution, it just let go of a breath of true qi in the female corpse, after all, a master in the manifestation period was still able to deal with a female corpse that could only be regarded as an acquired level of martial cultivation.
Then he looked at the man who had just run over, but found Wang Liulang lying on the ground asleep. After all, I dared to go for a few days in a row, but I was frightened by the female corpse and ran away all the way before I fell asleep, and I just fell asleep after seeing Xu Yang solve the female corpse!
Xu Yang smiled helplessly, can't he be thrown here to sleep, right? After all, it was cold, and it would not be good if he froze to death, so he could only carry him into the broken temple and put him by the fire to keep him warm, so it took a whole night for Wang Liulang to wake up. After giving him some hot water, he asked him what had happened, and Wang Liulang hurriedly told him what was going on.
"Oh, is that so?" After Xu Yang heard this, he felt even more strange, and he couldn't understand it even more! Why was the female corpse in the inn? If someone sacrificed the female corpse, shouldn't he put the female corpse in his own cultivation place? Xu Yang, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't think about him
And Wang Liulang, who looked at Xu Yang muttering to himself, hurriedly asked, "Sir, should we report to the official?"
"Well, yes, but don't tell me about it! I don't want to get in trouble! It's best to take me to the inn you said later, I guess this female corpse is not an ordinary corpse, maybe she will come to you" Xu Yang looked at Wang Liulang and didn't want to go back to the inn, so he scared him a little.
When Wang Liulang heard this, the female corpse would come to him. I didn't think about it, I said yes, sir, you must get this thing to the bottom of it, or my life will be lost. In fact, Wang Liulang didn't want to think about it? This female corpse had already been killed by Xu Yang, so how could she come back to him? But this is the sadness of ordinary people, and they don't dare to make bold guesses if they don't have the strength. What if what the gentleman said is true?... Hey, let's go to the official first and hand over this corpse to the government.
