After a long day of walking on the mountain road, I finally arrived, but the headache had just begun.

Burning Well Village, the location of the ninth homicide, but if it was just the usual killing, it would be considered lucky. Every murder happened in the countryside, and the location was different, and the people in the government were also ** to the extreme, they didn't care at all, and the most difficult thing was that in addition to the corpse that was sucked dry blood, there were no murder weapons or traces left at the scene, only the dead air that can be felt by cultivators can be felt, and only ghosts can do it.

"Dad, it's time to rest. Zhang Yao, who was tired of shouting all the way, saw the village in front of him, and suddenly came to his senses and ran towards the village.

Zhang Jiao is the daughter of the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao, who learned Taoism with her father since she was a child, and was later very liked by her master Yu Ji, and followed Yu Ji to learn the art of cultivating immortals.

"Auntie, don't run around, such a big person is still like a child. Zhang Jiao shouted to Zhang Jiao, and then said to the three people behind him: "Bo Qing and Bo Cai, let's go to the village chief first to see what the situation is." Xiao'er, you should also go and take a rest with Xiao'er, it's really tiring after a day of walking. ”

Zhang Jiao is particularly concerned about the murder case in the village, and now all localities are already preparing for an uprising, but now such a thing is happening, which is really chaotic.

"It's okay uncle, it's not a big deal to me. Zhang Xiao smiled at Zhang Jiao very confidently, this age is indeed full of vitality.

Zhang Xiao is Zhang Jiao's nephew, a few years ago his hometown was destroyed by a flood, and since then he has been following Zhang Jiao to learn Taoism, but his talent is average, but he is hard and diligent, and his appearance is also standard. And Bo Qing and Bo Cai, one martial and one literate, Bo Qing is naturally powerful, and he is Zhang Jiao's personal guard, and Bo Cai follows Zhang Jiao to learn Taoism, and he is also a little successful.

As soon as they entered the village, everyone saw two people talking on the road, one of whom they all knew, Guan Hai, who had arrived here a day earlier. "Brother Guan Hai, here. Zhang Xiao immediately greeted Guan Hai as soon as he saw it, although his Taoism was taught by Zhang Jiao, most of his martial arts were learned from Guan Hai, and it can be said that the relationship is very good.

Guan Hai is a celebrity of the Taiping Sect, although he looks like a farmer, but he makes a good halberd method, and has no opponents in the sect, and is another guard of Zhang Jiao.

Guan Hai heard the call, waved to everyone, and led the people next to him over.

"Good teacher, this is the village chief of Branding Jing Village......" Guan Hai walked quickly to Zhang Jiao and introduced him to the village chief. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the village chief Jing, who looked very anxious and said: "Good teacher, you are finally here, such a big thing happened, the people in the village think that the evil ghosts are doing it, and now they don't dare to go out to farm during the day." I reported it to the government a few days ago, but there is no news yet, so you must help us destroy this evil spirit. ”

"Don't worry, Village Chief Jing, I'm here to solve this matter, and this is already the ninth case. Zhang Jiao hurriedly appeased the village chief of Xiajing, and then beckoned a few people behind him to come over, and then said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Bo Qing, who is my escort like Guan Hai, and they are all people with the courage of ten thousand people." This is his younger brother Bo Cai, who is also a cultivator. And these two are poor girls and nephews, although they are young, they have also been practicing since they were young, and you can rest assured that we will handle this matter, the village chief. ”

The head of the village also calmed down a lot, and bowed to everyone separately, saying, "Then I am really grateful." Quick, follow me, Wang Cong's remains are now in his house, and there is still black gas on his body, it is really terrible, and now his parents dare not live at home. Obviously, the village chief Jing was still in a hurry, and after speaking, he walked quickly towards the village.

Everyone had to hurry up, and when Zhang Xiao was about to follow, he was dragged by Zhang Xiao, "Oh, what is there to see for a dead person, they just go to see it, let's go, go out and see the scenery." Zhang Xiao looked helpless and said: "Cousin, it's good for you to play, I'm going to help my uncle get rid of the demons, such a big thing will definitely let me learn a lot." ”

"You also know that it's such a big thing, then you still get in the way, if my father wants to teach you, he will tell you directly. You've also walked for the day to relax in the wind. After speaking, he pushed Zhang Xiao and ran out of the village.

This small mountain village is not big, but the scenery here is really beautiful, a piece of terraced fields, a piece of bamboo forest, but no one is working, and the beautiful scenery has a slight chill. Zhang Xiao obviously forgot his tiredness, picking here and stepping on there, but Zhang Xiao was tired. After walking a long way, a small river appeared in front of me, "Hey, there is a small river here, it's not a stream, it's a river." After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he ran towards the river, and now if he could soak his feet in the water, it would be very happy. Zhang Xiao had no choice but to reluctantly follow, and said: "Isn't it just a river, it's not that I haven't seen it, women are trouble." ”

Zhang Xiao looked upstream of the river as he walked, and then stayed there, "Cousin, look at it, there's a place there that is getting dark." Zhang Yao turned his face to look at him and smiled, it was noon, the red sun was at the head, what is called a place where it was dark. Then she looked in that direction too, and she froze, and that place was indeed very special, as if a circle two feet wide had been drawn there, and it was pitch black in this circle, as if it were at night, but there was nothing in that place that blocked the sun, not even fog.

"It's really strange how this scene came to be, I'm going to see what happened. Zhang Yao didn't seem to be afraid of such a strange scene at all, and was very curious to run to see.

When Zhang Xiao saw this, he couldn't just let Zhang Xiao run, and just wanted to catch up and stop her, but saw her suddenly stop in place, and then quickly pulled out the bamboo sword at his waist. Zhang Xiao's alertness was mentioned at the highest, although his cousin is usually very restless, but he has never been sloppy in dealing with demons and monsters, and soon he gradually smelled a faint dead air in the air.

"That's it, good teacher, what should I do with Wang Cong's body. The village chief took Zhang Jiao and others to Wang Cong's house, and saw Zhang Jiao and Bo Cai observing the corpse, so he continued: "I was the first person to find Wang Cong, it was still morning, I was going to the field to weed, but I walked and found that there was a black gas near the bamboo forest, I was very strange, and thought it was burning something, so I walked over to see, and suddenly saw Wang Cong's face, and I ran back to the village in fright, and called the villagers to carry him back." Zhang Jiao listened to the village chief Jing while inspecting the body, there was still a little black gas on the body, although it was small, but the concentration was very high, and it could be seen with the naked eye. The most important thing is that there is a very important clue this time, Wang Cong has obvious bite marks on his neck, obviously biting people with his teeth and then sucking the blood dry, but the ghost has no substance, what will cause this?

Zhang Jiao checked the body for a while, and said to Bo Qing and Bo Cai: "You two and the village chief will go to the place where the body was found to check and see if there are any finds." Then he turned to the village chief Jing and said, "The village chief is bothering you to take them to the place where the body was found, and there may be clues available." When the village chief heard this, he hurriedly nodded in agreement, and left the house with the Bo Qing Bocai brothers.

"Guan Hai, you've been here for a day, have you found anything?" Zhang Jiao asked Guan Hai while sitting on a chair, and there were no clues to be found on this body. After hearing this, Guan Hai said: "When I found him, those villagers said that they didn't find anything strange, and there was no trace of a fight. This makes Zhang Jiao very headache, only ghosts can have death in this world, and ghosts have no substance, they don't suck blood, they are only interested in yang energy, what could it be?

At this time, Bo Cai hurriedly rushed in from outside, and hurriedly said: "Good teacher, it's not good, I just felt a dead air not long after I arrived outside, and then I sensed the aura of Zhang Yao and Zhang Xiao, I saw that there seemed to be a place by the river below the village that seemed to have no light, pitch black, and there was nothing around to block the sun, and the dead air seemed to come from there, I had asked my brother to rush over immediately, should we also rush over as soon as possible." ”

"What! a place where there's no light? It's not that thing. Zhang Jiao bounced up directly from the chair in shock, "It's full of life, it has entities, it will glow black, it's impossible, how can you encounter them, they won't appear in places where there is life activity, let alone suck human blood." Hurry, we need to get there. ”

Hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Guan Hai and Bo obviously realized that the situation was very urgent, and immediately rushed to the river, and asked Zhang Jiao: "What is this, how dangerous will it be?" Zhang Jiao explained while running: "If I guess it, it is very likely to be a ghost of Zixu, it is a ghost but not a ghost, I can't say it for a while, even my master Yu Zhenren can't destroy it." Don't have an accident. ”
