father snake

The moonlight in winter made people chill from the bottom of their hearts. Shi Xiaochuan wrapped his thick coat tightly, rubbed his hands, breathed on his mouth, stomped his feet lightly, and walked around in place.

Tianqiu's body is a snake. It was originally a cold-blooded animal. Even if it turned into a human, its body temperature would be lower than that of ordinary people. Even now, his blood flow has become extremely slow. It was only half of the normal value. When I touched it with my hand, I heard a slow heartbeat, but my skin was icy cold.Tianqiu used some mana, then stretched out his right hand and quietly held Shi Xiaochuan's hand in his palm.

Shi Xiaochuan, who was so cold that his brain was a little numb, was burned by the heat from his hands, and his whole body felt a lot better. Tianqiu also held his other hand, and the two stood side by side, with the three hands on top of each other. In the pocket of the autumn trench coat.

In this cold night, Tianqiu's palm is like a stove, warm and dry.

Lu Qingyun, who was busy next to him, muttered disapprovingly, "It's a waste of mana at this time."

Shi Xiaochuan suddenly felt hot on his face, and wanted to pull his hand back, but was firmly held by Tianqiu, and the two hands were entangled in their pockets for a while, Shi Xiaochuan didn't hold back Tianqiu after all, he could only watch The courtyard wall in front was in a daze.

This is the last entrance to the Shi Family Ancestral Hall. The first two entrances have been carefully searched, not to mention people, not even a stray cat.

Originally thought that the third entrance was the same, the gate was open for them to enter and exit, but unexpectedly, they were guarded by General Tie, and several powerful formations were attached, Lu Qingyun took a closer look, "This is the evil way of our Taoism, Some have been lost for a long time." He frowned, "I don't have much confidence that I can break through this formation."

Tianqiu took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and a few streams of white air went inside along the courtyard wall, but was bounced back by an invisible wall, Tianqiu licked the corner of his mouth, eyes faintly glowing Hong Guang, "I have a way to destroy this formation."

Lu Qingyun muttered, "How long will it take? It's not long before dawn."

"Immediately." Tianqiu smiled slightly, showing his sharp fangs, "When the psychics hunted me down, they used these things a lot."

Tianqiu walked towards the courtyard gate step by step, and lifted the other foot only after each step was solid. There was a row of clear footprints on the ground. The closer to the courtyard gate, the deeper the footprints, as if the pressure Tianqiu was under As if gradually getting bigger, Tianqiu's expression didn't change at all, but Shi Xiaochuan felt that he was a little murderous in his heart, and something inside the courtyard wall was attracting him.

The tightly closed courtyard door was within reach, Tianqiu stretched out his hand, pushed gently, and the door opened in response, Shi Xiaochuan seemed to hear bursts of angry screams from somewhere, But if you listen carefully, there is no trace of the sound.

Followed behind Tianqiu and walked into the small courtyard.

The small courtyard, which was originally neat and elegant, is now covered with a layer of lifelessness, even the clump of bamboo is withered, Shi Xiaochuan's heart is beating, he feels that his parents are somewhere in this courtyard, this courtyard is not Big, there were only a few rooms to go back and forth, so he planned to search one by one.

Lu Qingyun cautiously grabbed the impulsive Shi Xiaochuan, "Wait, something is wrong with this yard."

"What's wrong?" Shi Xiaochuan looked at Lu Qingyun puzzled.

Lu Qingyun hesitated to speak, "Don't you feel uncomfortable? You can't breathe?"

Shi Xiaochuan shook his head, this courtyard is a bit weird, but compared to the thick fog and weird formations outside, it is quite normal.

While they were arguing, a few people stumbled out of one of the rooms, and when they reached Shi Xiaochuan and the others, they fell limply on the ground one by one. Shi Xiaochuan recognized that this was the patriarch of the Shi family and Are there any talkative people in the clan?

Their faces were full of fear and fear, and they completely lost the kindness and majesty of the past, and they looked a bit like bereaved dogs.

The patriarch stood up tremblingly, and grabbed Shi Xiaochuan who was standing in front of him, "That, Shi—Shi—"

An elder next to him quietly reminded him, "Shi Xiaochuan."

The patriarch nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Shi Xiaochuan, what's going on outside—ah, outside—how?"

Shi Xiaochuan and Tianqiu looked at each other, what is going on?How did these big figures from the Shi family appear here? Judging from the situation, it seems that they are still trapped.

"Outside, everything is fine, everything is fine." Lu Qingyun took the lead, changed his usual expressionless face, and said with a smile on his face.

The patriarch was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer the question, so he said, "Okay, okay, okay. Ah, why did you come here?"

"He came in." Lu Qingyun said.

He choked on this sentence, probably because he hadn't met such an ignorant and disrespectful junior for a long time, the patriarch's complexion became darker and darker, this time he was angry, but for some reason, he still endured that Furious, "Didn't you encounter anything strange?"

"To say something strange—" Lu Qingyun dragged his voice, wanting to say something or not.

The patriarch was anxious, "What strange thing?"

"The doors were all open, we just walked in." Lu Qingyun finished speaking in one breath.

"You—" the patriarch was so angry that he almost didn't jump up. He knew he had been tricked, but he couldn't say anything. After all, they had been trapped in this ancestral hall for several days, and they couldn't even send out any news, let alone outsiders. People broke in, finally came in these few stupid boys, there is still hope.

As soon as Shi Xiaochuan drove away, Lu Qingyun, who was planning to stab the patriarch with words, walked up to the patriarch, "Patriarch, where are my parents?"

After all, the patriarch is used to being praised by others, and he still has some scruples about Lu Qingyun who is not a member of his own family and is wearing a Taoist robe. When he saw Shi Xiaochuan, although he had no impression of him, and he didn't even remember his name, But after all, it belongs to the Shi family, so he has the right to speak, "Are you from Shi Daluo's family?"

Shi Xiaochuan nodded patiently, but he was young after all, and his tone was somewhat disdainful and contemptuous, "My parents left a note saying that they were invited to this Shi family ancestral hall, and asked me to come to them, why don't you see anyone now? "

The patriarch's face changed, and his voice raised a bit, "What's your tone? How did your parents teach you to behave like this when you see an old man?"

Shi Xiaochuan was on fire, if this group of people hadn't tricked his parents here, would he have been in danger in the middle of the night?The fear just now in the thick fog suddenly exploded, Shi Xiaochuan snatched the dagger from Tianqiu's hand, and put it on the patriarch's neck unexpectedly, "Say it quickly."

The patriarch probably has never encountered such a blatant threat of violence to himself, he was at a loss for a while, and several other clansmen started to commotion, Shi Xiaochuan saw clearly that Shi Chen's father, Shi Anqing, was in the middle, and he had just mentioned to the elder. He is also the one who bears his own name.

"Hey, Xiaochuan, put down the knife, put down the knife, don't argue with the old man, your parents are in the next room, and Shi Chen is also there, you two of the same age have a good talk later, don't be impulsive." Shi Anqing extended He made a move, tentatively and lightly pulling down Shi Xiaochuan's arm.

When Shi Xiaochuan heard this, he let go of the patriarch who was held by him.

The patriarch took a step back in embarrassment, with an expression of wanting to scold but couldn't, in the end, he could only stand there with a stiff face.

At this time, Shi Xiaochuan had already run to the room that Shi Anqing just pointed out. The door was locked. He knocked on the door vigorously. It's as if you're not knocking on the door, but knocking on your own heart.

After a while, when Shi Xiaochuan couldn't help but knock on the door, the door finally opened.

It was Shi Chen who opened the door.

He looked at Shi Xiaochuan blankly, without saying hello to Shi Xiaochuan, and walked back to the room. Shi Xiaochuan quickly followed in. In the dark room, there were two people lying on the bed. They were Shi Xiaochuan's parents. Eyes wide open, with a calm face, Shi Xiaochuan grabbed Shi Chen by the collar, "What did you do to my parents?"

Shi Chen let him sway, didn't even have the intention of struggling, and there was no emotion in his eyes, Shi Xiaochuan yelled a few words, Tianqiu, who came in after him, probed under the noses of Shi's parents, and held him back. Shi Xiaochuan, "Xiaochuan, stop yelling, your parents should be fine, they just passed out after being given medicine."

Shi Xiaochuan let go of his hand, and Shi Chen sat back in the chair, motionless, like a piece of unconscious wood.

Shi Xiaochuan carefully pushed Shi Chen's shoulder, and saw Shi Chen shaking his body with his movements, but there was still no other reaction, Shi Xiaochuan looked at Tian Qiu, "Tian Qiu, what's going on? "

Tian Qiu rolled Shi Chen's eyelids and checked, "Someone has done something wrong, and his soul is incomplete."

Shi Xiaochuan was startled, who is so vicious, and Shi Chen is Shi Anqing's darling son, how could people do these things to him?

He sighed. When he saw Shi Chen in Zhoujia Village last time, he seemed to be in good spirits. He was fine. He didn't expect to meet again.

Tianqiu pulled Shi Xiaochuan's hand, and said with an unhappy face, "It's fine if the spell is broken, but if the soul is damaged, the body will always be affected, and I'm afraid there will be many diseases and disasters in the future."

He turned Shi Xiaochuan's face away and let him look at him, "Leave him alone, every time he appears you will be like this, if you want to look at me, just look at me."

It was the first time Shi Xiaochuan saw Tianqiu who knew how to be jealous. He always thought that Tianqiu didn't know that Shi Chen had liked him, but he didn't expect him to know. It doesn't make sense, and I haven't responded to Shi Chen.

But it's not easy to say it directly, so I just nodded.

Tianqiu let go of his hand in satisfaction, "Let's go out."

He walked up to the Shi family's parents, and nodded between their eyebrows. The Shi family's parents immediately stood up, with their eyes open, their eyes straight, their bodies stiff, and they just followed Tian Qiu.

Shi Xiaochuan looked at Tianqiu nervously, "This is?"

"It's okay, we can't carry them behind our backs, this spell has no effect on their bodies, and they won't remember it when they wake up." Tianqiu took Shi Xiaochuan's hand and walked out of the room.

Only Shi Chen remained motionless in the dark room. Suddenly, his neck twisted, the corners of his mouth opened and closed slightly, but he didn’t make any sound, just like a rusty machine. Shi Chen slowly, Stand up and walk to the lower left corner of the room.

There was a jar there, Shi Chen brought the jar to his mouth, gulped down the liquid inside, a faint fishy smell came from the room.

Much like the smell of blood.
