Chapter 40: The Strange Man in Black Taoist Practices
Zhang Yun walked to the hall on the first floor with Su Yi, the drunk man had already sobered up, Huang Xiaoying, Yu Zicong, and Yang Wancheng were standing aside.
Lin Fei glanced at the two of them and said, "I heard the sound of a fight above just now, and you didn't call us up." What's going on?"
"It's just a corpse cat. Su Yi said lightly.
"Oh, that's a difficult beast, did you kill it?" Lin Fei nodded and continued to ask.
Zhang Yun said helplessly: "Senior Sister Su and I, we tried our best, but we didn't stop it, but we were still run away by it." ”
Lin Feijian raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "If you can't stop it, why don't you call us for help?" When you were allowed to act alone, I said that when you encounter a situation, quickly notify the big guy, why don't you do it?"
Su Yi's cold face did not change, and snorted, "I'm afraid that you will come, and I won't be able to stop it, but I will lose your noble face, and then the gain will outweigh the loss." Lin Fei was choked by Su Yi like this, and his face suddenly changed.
The atmosphere was tense.
Seeing this, Zhang Yun hurriedly came out to play the round, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Su and I thought we were sure to keep it, so we didn't bother Senior Brother and Senior Sister, it's Senior Brother's." ”
Yang Wancheng smiled: "It's not a big deal, the battle has just begun." ”
Yu Zi walked to Huang Xiaoying, Lin Fei, and Su Yi respectively, and whispered comfort.
Lin Fei saw that everyone gave him the stairs, and he was also happy to see it. Walking in front of Su Yi, he said with a smile: "Senior brother, I am in a hurry, I offend my junior sister, look at my junior sister Haihan." ”
Su Yi was angry in her heart, and said coldly: "Senior Brother Lin is right, you are the captain, everything is right." ”
In a word, Lin Fei was pushed back.
Lin Fei smiled bitterly a few times, turned around and came to the drunkard's side.
At this time, the drunk man had already woken up faintly, and most of the alcohol in his body had gone. At first, he showed timidity, but when he saw that it was six people, the timidity in his eyes gradually receded, and he looked at the six people curiously.
Seeing him smooth his hair, Zhang Yun found that his temples were bulging high, and he looked like a good martial arts practitioner.
Yang Wancheng walked over and asked softly, "Brother, who are you?"
The drunkard saw that these six people were full of spirit, elegant bearing, splendid clothes, and wearing swords. I know that he is not an ordinary ordinary man. Hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to the six people, and the wound that had been healed by Lin Fei was cracked again, and the blood flowed.
The drunken man kowtowed while chanting: "Immortals, immortals, I beg you, show mercy and avenge the hundreds of people in my Dawang Village." ”
Zhang Yun hurriedly pulled him up, found a bench that could still be made, and helped him sit down. said softly: "Uncle, you tell us in detail about the current situation of this Dawang Village, so that we can avenge you." ”
The drunkard sighed, tears rolled down, and said in a sobbing voice: "The little one is called Wang Wu, and he is the shopkeeper of this inn." In the mountains near here, there are many wild beasts and some herbs are luxuriant. Therefore, all the men in Dawang Village are good hunters, and many traders come to our Dawang Village to buy animal skins and herbs. Our Dawang Village has gradually become prosperous and has become the largest village within a radius of 100 miles.
Men hunt, women farm at home and feed silkworms. Neighbors take care of each other like family. However, just a month ago, a strange man came to the inn. Wang Wu mentioned the strange man with a gritted teeth, eager to eat him raw.
"I still remember when the stranger came, it was pouring rain, and the inn had no business for a day, and when it was about to close, a man in black who was tightly wrapped from head to toe came in. He was dressed strangely, and his body smelled fishy. I didn't want to keep him, but when I saw that it was raining so hard outside, I couldn't bear to let him be outside in the wind and rain. In addition, there is no business for a day, and it is one to think about earning one. I had no choice but to receive him.
I asked the weirdo in black, "Hit the tip or stay in the hotel." The man in black said coldly: "I have dry food, just prepare a room for him." He took a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it to me.
I asked Xiao Er to prepare a first-class room for him.
Of course, I also joked with the shopkeeper that this weird guy would cover his prickly heat if he was dressed so tightly in the summer.
The next day, a full moon doll from the village head Wang San's family disappeared. Everyone in the village agreed that it was the wild wolf on the mountain who took the child away. Because this has happened before in the village.
The villagers, all of whom were extremely angry, slaughtered all the wild wolves on the mountain under the leadership of Wang San, before they could relieve their hatred.
Because of the slaughter of a large number of wild wolves, many traders came to the village. I was so busy with the goods and the reception of guests that I forgot about him. It took five or six days before I remembered
, this weirdo.
I asked the shopkeeper, "On a rainy night, is the weirdo who came gone?"
Xiao Er patted his head and said, "I also forgot, I've been so busy these two days, there shouldn't be any, there is no check-out record." ”
I asked again, "Did you bring him food?"
Xiao Er shook his head and said, "You didn't say it, and he didn't ask for it, so I forgot about it." ”
I reproached him, "How can you be so sloppy with a guest, even if he brought dry food, he should be spoiled on such a hot day." ”
I grabbed a few steamed buns from the kitchen and approached his room. I knocked softly on the door, but no one answered. And I noticed that a wisp of black smoke was coming out of the crack in the door. I had a bad premonition, and when I opened the door, I saw that he was sitting on the bed, and just as he had finished his work, a stream of black gas entered the top of his head. I saw him staring at me, and I saw that his face was so thin that it seemed that only a piece of skin was left hanging from his bones.
A pair of eyes are all white, extremely cloudy, the fingers are dry and slender, black and shiny, the nails are black and long, and the whole body reveals a trace of weirdness. I felt a little scared.
You can also see that I have practiced martial arts, and my Wang Wu's reputation is also a small name in the rivers and lakes, and he is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes. There is still a hint of smell for the smell of danger.
I saw the strange man in black say coldly: "Shopkeeper, what's the matter?, but the silver is not enough?" I shuddered when I heard the voice that seemed to come from hell.
I gently put the steamed buns on his table and said softly: "The silver is enough, I saw the guest officer, I haven't asked for food for a few days, so I took a few steamed buns and came over to see the guest officer."
You use it slowly. "I turned and walked out, and there was a fishy smell in the room, as if there was a hint of blood.
I didn't think much about it, I thought that he would stay for a few days and leave, there were all kinds of people in the inn, so I paid the silver, I didn't want to eat, and I really didn't run into the door without going out.
I was still complacent thinking, if I have money to make, what do I do with so much. ”
Wang Wu wiped a handful of tears, and Zhang Yun found that his spirit was much better at this time. It may be that he is in the prime of life, and he has practiced martial arts, and his physical foundation is relatively good, or it may be because Lin Fei may have absorbed some of his spiritual power when he used his spiritual power to sober him up.
Wang Wu paused, slapped his thighs with both hands, and said angrily: "I saw this strange person so weird at that time, I should be vigilant and find a way to ask the immortals for protection." Why should I play this little bargain? Wang Wu looked up to the sky and roared, bursting into tears.
When Zhang Yun saw this dignified man, the whole village was wiped out, he was crying, his eyes were red, and his heart was sour. He thought of Master Yumo, the Thousand Dao Sect was destroyed, and he escaped alone. At that time, the master must have been even more sad than this Wang Wu.
Zhang Yun gently walked behind Wang Wu and waved his hand to inject him with an aura. Let him almost go crazy and calm down.
Seeing that he was slowly calming down, Zhang Yun asked him softly, "Uncle, what happened next?"
Wang Wu sobbed, woke up a handful of snot, and continued: "That night, I heard a cat on the roof, barking all night, and the cry was really heartbreaking. I didn't sleep all night, and I went out with the shopkeeper a few times at night, and the black cat went away and came back. The next day, many villagers yawned and asked what was the matter with the wild cat. ”
"I can't explain it, I can only say that it may be a passing wild cat, and it is in estrus. That's why I'm so grumpy. See if it can come again at night, and if it comes again, find a way to kill it. ”
"The next night, the black cat really didn't come. The villagers had a good night's sleep. But early in the morning of the third day, someone was shouting at the door early in the morning, and when I opened the door, I heard the villagers gossiping that the ancestral grave in the village had been dug up. This is something that has never happened in our Dawang Village, you must know that the earth is safe, the dead are great, and no one can disturb it. The villagers also said that this time the grave was dug up in the village, Wang Dahu's recently dead father Wang Laohu's grave. I was curious for a moment, and followed everyone to the ancestral tomb.
By the ancestral grave, the villagers in a circle were talking about it. I looked over and saw that a deep pit had been dug out of the grave, and the gold and silver were all in it, but the body was missing. A villager next to me pointed in a direction for me to take a closer look.
Because it rained lightly at night, footprints could be left. When I saw the footprints, my head buzzed. On the left side of the mound are a pair of footprints, and on the right side of the mound are two pairs of footprints, one of which is in the style of the cloth shoes with imps on the soles of the feet worn by the deceased, which are unique to us.
That is to say, it was one person who came, and when it left, it was two people? I had goosebumps at that time, and the crowd around me was also terrified.
At that time, the villagers spontaneously searched for Wang Laohu's body in groups of three or five in the nearby mountains, but could not find it. The village immediately asked someone to find a Taoist priest and come to do it at night.
When the villagers heard that there were Taoist priests, they all came out to watch. The Taoist priest set up the square table at night and put the peachwood sword, only to see him pick up the talisman
, but he couldn't light it anyway, and after a while, cold sweat broke out on his head.
At this time, the sky above the village was covered with dark clouds and a cloudy wind. The villagers all left one after another, and finally I was left with the Taoist. I saw that the Taoist priest was trembling and absent-minded, so I said to the Taoist priest, it's too late, go to my inn and sleep. The Taoist priest let out a sigh, wiped his sweat, and followed me to the door of the inn, the Taoist priest sniffed the smell in the air, looked up at the second floor, and his face changed greatly. Said goodbye to me in a hurry, saying that there was an urgent matter at home. I didn't think much of it. After he left, it rained heavily, the village dog barked all night, and early in the morning, something big happened!"
