Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

The mountain road is verdant and the flowing water is Miaomiao.

Shen Yao and Xuan Qi rode fast and finally arrived near Wujia Village in the evening of the second day.

According to the map, the two turned seven times and eight turns along the mountain road, and came to a river about ten meters wide. There was a stone bridge on the river, and on the other side, there were high and low buildings and walls.

The two saw a stone tablet with a broken corner by the side of the stone bridge. The words "Wujia Village" on it could be clearly distinguished, so they knew they had arrived at their destination.

The other bank is said to be a village, but the scale is not small. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by peaks, and facing the stone bridge is a dilapidated gatehouse.Looking from a distance, the village is mostly tile-roofed houses with overhanging eaves, and several small buildings can be seen standing scattered. Some houses along the river have collapsed, and many walls have burnt marks.

At this time, the setting sun was slanting, and the opposite side was dark and silent, with no lights and life.

Suddenly, a "quack" sounded from above the head, and the sound dragged on, adding a touch of gloom to the dusk.The two looked up and saw a few crows flapping their wings and hovering on the tree.

Shen Yao and Xuan Qi looked at each other, and Shen Yao asked, "Xuan Qi, are you afraid of ghosts?"

Xuan Qi shook his head and said, "Xuan Qi has only seen people pretending to be ghosts during missions, but he has never seen a real ghost."

Shen Yao said, "Well! If you don't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, there is nothing." His tone slightly raised, and he said, "People's hearts are often more terrifying than ghosts."

Xuan Qi thought for a while and said, "My lord, can we stand still?"

Shen Yao asked, "Oh, what are your plans?"

Xuan Qi said, "Old man Jin said that there should be no one living in this village now, but someone passed by at night and heard ghost noises coming from this village. I think it might not be ghost noises."

Shen Yao interjected, "It's not a ghost screaming, it's someone pretending to be a ghost." He motioned Xuan Qi to continue.

Xuan Qi said, "If the corpses of the demon soldiers and the addictive drugs all flow into the water veins from this village, then maybe someone is hiding here to refine the secret medicine of the demon soldiers. It is better to wait until night, if there is a sound Appear, we seek the sound and go, and we can also target the target.”

Shen Yao nodded repeatedly, and said, "Just do what you say."

As the sun went down, the woods were gradually shrouded in darkness.

Out of caution, the two did not start a fire.

Taking advantage of the faint light, Xuan Qi said, "I'll go and get some dry food, young master eat some cushions first."

As he said that, he walked to the side of the tied black horse, and reached out to take dry food from the pack.

He quietly turned around and glanced at Shen Yao, and found that the man was looking towards the village, so he let himself rest on the horse's back slightly, with cold sweat already breaking out on his forehead.

The black horse turned to look at him, snorting slightly.

Xuan Qi stretched out his hand to touch its face, to comfort it, he suppressed his panting, and only wanted to get through this burst of internal injuries as soon as possible.

After a while, he felt Shen Yao walking towards him, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe his forehead.Shen Yao walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Qi reached out his hand to dig out the bag twice, and took out the cake that old man Jin gave them before, while saying, "The cake was pressed at the bottom, and I couldn't find it for a while."

Shen Yao stared at him, there was almost no light in the forest, Xuan Qi's face was not in the shadows, only his eyes were shining, looking at him, Shen Yao smiled at him and said, "Let's eat together Well, we'll have to find a 'ghost' later."

At night, the raindrops fell through the gaps in the leaves, pattering and dripping in the ears, and the body became chilly.

The two had been waiting for midnight, but there was still no movement on the other side.

The clothes on her body gradually became wet, Shen Yao raised her hand to wipe her wet forehead, and sighed softly.Xuan Qi, who was looking at the other side seriously, turned his head immediately. He looked at Shen Yao, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Please, my lord, go to the cave we passed by in the afternoon to avoid the rain. Xuan Qi just stay and watch." .”

Shen Yao frowned and stared at him, and said, "That's not acceptable." He said with his finger as high as a grain of rice, and shook in front of Xuan Qi, "If there is thunder later, I will be a little taller than you, stand Lei Gong next to you will not attack you."

"..." Xuan Qi raised her eyebrows.

Shen Yao still wanted to joke a few more words, but suddenly, there was a sound from the other side——

The voice of "ah ah" seemed to be screaming or crying, sometimes the tone dragged on for a long time, and sometimes it broke suddenly, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, drifting faintly from the opposite side.

The two quickly glanced at each other, and Shen Yao said, "Let's go!"

The two quickly crossed the stone bridge and stepped into the ruined site of Wujia Village.

Passing through the gatehouse at the entrance of the village and entering the village, the two found that the roads in the village were criss-crossed like a chessboard, with many houses and forked roads all over the place.

The strange voice became obvious, howling like an out-of-control beast when crying, and whimpering like a ghost when crying, as if it was with the air, and the chill of the bones penetrated into the skin, surrounding them in a dark maze.

The two stood at a fork in the road, Xuan Qi listened carefully, then suddenly lay down and pressed his ears to the ground, stood up after listening for a while, and said, "The sound should come from underground."

Shen Yao said, "The situation in the previous dynasty was turbulent. Looking at the layout of this village, there may be shelters for attack and defense. There should be a mystery underground."

Xuan Qi nodded, lowered his eyes, but found that with a low cry, Shen Yao's left hand clenched slightly, and shrank into the cuff.

Xuan Qi asked, "My lord is not afraid of ghosts, is he?"

"Of course." Another raised tone.

Xuan Qi's eyes moved slightly, he raised his hand slightly hesitatingly, gently squeezed Shen Yao's arm, and said, "This voice can't be a ghost, but a cry made by a person in extreme pain."

"..." Shen Yao looked at him, suddenly turned his face away, and whispered, "Of course it can't be a ghost."

"Yeah." Xuan Qi withdrew his hand.

Shen Yao glanced at his arm that was held by Xuan Qi just now, and felt that there seemed to be some information in his words that he hadn't grasped at once.

At this moment, both of them keenly felt that a shadow flashed past behind them.

The two looked back, but there was only pitch blackness where they couldn't see their fingers.

"Be careful." Shen Yao whispered.

"Yes," Xuan Qi said, and asked again, "The source of this sound seems to be in the southeast direction. Shall we go there now?"

"Well, go and find out if there is an entrance leading to the underground."

The two walked quickly in the village looking for the sound, the feeling of being followed and approached by something appeared and disappeared from time to time.

At another fork in the road, Xuan Qi was distinguishing the voice when suddenly lightning flashed across the sky, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire village. A huge shadow was cast on the wall in front of them, rushing forward.

Xuan Qi turned around quickly, a triangle dart came out of his hand, and shot straight at the shadow's head.

The shadow didn't react slowly, and immediately flipped to the side, dodging the hidden weapon.

At the same time, Shen Yao grabbed Xuan Qi's left hand and moved him to the side. The jade flute in his hand also swirled and struck towards the shadow protruding from another intersection.

The shadow couldn't dodge in time, was hit in the chest with a "bang", and took two or three steps back abruptly.

Shen Yao reached out to catch the flying jade flute, and stood with his back to Xuan Qi.

The rain became more and more intense, thunder and lightning flashed, and the sky appeared like a white dragon.

A man in a cloak appeared at the third intersection, his face was half hidden by the brim of the cloak, so he couldn't see clearly.

The shadows at the other two intersections slowly approached Shen Yao and Xuan Qi again, and the three surrounded them at the intersection.

"Hey, it seems that we have found the right place." Shen Yao said.

The two shadows were also in human form, exposed to the light of lightning, Shen and Xuan could clearly see that they were a circle larger than normal people, more than two meters tall, wearing rags and tattered clothes, The muscles all over his body exploded, and the veins clearly appeared on the skin, faintly black, rising from the neck all the way along the chest to the face, the lips were dark, the eyeballs were bulging, big and lifeless, staring at them intently.

"Is this a magic soldier?" Xuan Qi asked in a low voice.

"Well, I also saw the characteristics in the book," Shen Yao said, "Whether it is true or not, just grab him and ask."

Before he finished speaking, his men rushed towards the cloaked man like an arrow leaving the string.Xuan Qi fired with both hands, and shot hidden weapons at the two "magic soldiers".

Seeing this, the cloaked man turned his head and left.

The two magic soldiers faced the hidden weapons head-on, but turned slightly sideways, letting the hidden weapons shoot at the strong/tight muscles.The hidden weapons sank into their bodies, and only inconspicuous dark bloodstains flowed out of the wounds.The actions of the two were not blocked at all, one of them rushed to the intersection where the cloaked man was standing just now, blocking Shen Yao's pursuit, and the other rushed towards Xuan Qi, swinging his giant fist at him.

Xuan Qi dodged sideways, popped out a short dagger from his sleeve, jumped up, and stabbed the demon soldier in the neck, the demon soldier swung his arm to block, the dagger cut his arm, the bleeding from the wound was still slight, he seemed to feel no pain , the other hand punched quickly, Xuan Qi was in mid-air, one turned upside down, his feet touched his shoulders, the magic soldier stretched out his hands to grab his shoulders, but Xuan Qi turned over the eaves next to him in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Shen Yao also fought against another magic soldier, seeing the cloaked man go further and further away.The magic soldier punched and kicked very powerfully, pressing every step of the way, where the fist swept, the bricks and tiles of the wall shattered.Taking advantage of the flying bricks and tiles, Shen Yao got up and kicked the magic soldier in the chest, but unexpectedly, it was like kicking a rock, and his feet were shaken by the rebounding force, causing severe pain.The demon soldier clasped his palms together in front of his chest, jamming his right leg. Before he could speak, Shen Yao twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, and kicked the demon soldier between the eyebrows with his left foot, forcing him to let go and back away. , I narrowly escaped and landed.

It is impossible not to be shocked. Hearing that the magic soldiers made by the magic coach are invulnerable, but when they really meet this monster-like opponent, whether it is Xuan Qi or Shen Yao, they will inevitably feel a little bit confused.

On the other side, the demon soldiers facing Xuan Qi inserted their bare hands into the brick wall, and climbed up to the eaves after a few strokes, chasing Xuan Qi closely.After Xuan Qi turned over and dodged a few times, he saw his fist stuck in the tiles of the roof, leaped into the air, his body fell upside down, turned over the dagger in his hand, and stabbed fiercely at the Baihui acupoint on the top of the demon soldier's head.The wind and rain intertwined, Xuan Qi was like a dragon entering the water, his strikes were precise and swift, at the beginning of the dagger piercing, encountered a lot of resistance, the magic soldier roared, and stood up on the roof with his head on his hands.Xuan Qi immediately pressed down with both hands, exerted all his internal strength, and pierced the dagger completely.

The demon soldier roared frantically, grabbed Xuan Qi's arm, and flung him to the side. Xuan Qi was thrown out, hit a corner of the cornice of the roof, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Shen Yao turned around and leaped away regardless of the opponent in front of him. He threw his body forward, extended his arms, and took Xuan Qi who had fallen from the roof into his arms.Heavy fists came from behind like a shadow, Shen Yao hugged Xuan Qi tightly, rolled on the spot, turned over several times in a row, there was a bang and bang behind him, and the ground was flying, until the magic soldier stabbed by Xuan Qi crashed from the roof It fell and fell between them and another magic soldier, giving them a chance to breathe.

Shen Yao let go of the person in his arms, and looked nervously, Xuan Qi was slowly opening his eyes, his face was pale, with a trail of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Xuan Qi, how are you?" Shen Yao frowned and asked him in a trembling voice.

Xuan Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and called out, "Young Master, be careful!" Pushing hard with his hand, the two were separated, and the wind of the fist exploded between them. He put his hands on his knees and stood up with all his strength. Seeing that Shen Yao had also turned over on the opposite side, he shouted to Shen Yao, "Xuan Qi is okay, my lord, don't take it lightly." Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand.

When Shen Yao saw this, he felt extremely distressed. With a movement of his body, he rushed to the magic soldier first.

Xuan Qi wanted to step forward to help, but as soon as he raised his breath, he felt his heart suffocate, a mouthful of fishy sweetness rushed into his throat, he swallowed hard, his brows were tightly frowned, and from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed something on the ground——

That is the eaves of the roof, just like the body of a fish, the head of the fish is tilted up, and waves are sprayed out of the mouth, circling in circles, and it is vivid.Xuan Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he raised his head and looked around, most of the corners of the surrounding eaves were not carved, except for this broken eaves, which should have been knocked down by him just now.

"Wu's carp, Jin Jiahe,

Flying and playing in the water is fun.

The lion roars and leaps three times,

Get into the clouds and run away. "

"The situation in the previous dynasty was turbulent. Judging from the layout of this village, there may be shelters for attack and defense."

……

"Young Master, I know where the entrance to the underground is, come with me!" Xuan Qiyue rushed to attack the demon soldiers, and together with Shen Yao forced him back two steps, pulled Shen Yao up and jumped up.
