I soared after being forced to marry
Work related
, nodded, and the two learned that her eyes were not good.
"Young man," Granny Jin staggered, leading them into the back room.There is an indescribable musty smell inside, a small bed, a wooden table with tea bowls, and two chairs are all the things in the room.
"There is only one bed in the room, so you can make do with it, no problem!"
"Thank you, mother-in-law, there is no problem." There was a hint of a smile in Ji Ming's eyes.
☆, sharing the same bed
When Tang Yi was lying on the bed, he still felt unreal.
He would actually share the same bed with Ji Ming.
He slowly turned his head to the side and glanced at the man, but saw Ji Ming's hands folded on the quilt, his chest heaving and falling, and he could vaguely hear the sound of even breathing.
Probably because the candlelight in the room was too dim, which made the man's already handsome facial features more three-dimensional, and the thick long eyelashes cast two small shadows under the eyelids.
After a while, Tang Yi was about to look back, but unexpectedly, Ji Ming turned over and fell asleep on his side in his direction.He was only wearing obscene clothes, because the movement of turning over revealed a large white chest, and the young man's eyes naturally fell on the white jade pendant worn by the man around his neck.
The young man suddenly opened his eyes wide. The jade pendant seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to him, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the jade pendant.
The pattern carved on it was extremely complicated, and Tang Yi couldn't guess what pattern was carved after looking at it for a long time.But it seems more like a totem.
I found that the jade pendant was like curd fat and white like cut fat.He thought it should be almost flawless suet white jade, rubbed it for a while, and then reluctantly let go.
The young man let go of his hand carefully, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Jiming was staring at him quietly with his eyes open, the shadow of his eyelashes covering the expression at the bottom of his eyes.
Tang Yi was suddenly taken aback, and subconsciously leaned back.
For a moment, he even forgot that he was on the outside, and besides, it is very difficult to accommodate two people on this small bed, and it is possible to fall if you turn over.
Zhiming stretched out his long arms and pulled him into his arms.
"Xiao Daoist, can't you sleep?" The man raised his brows slightly, and looked down at Tang Yi with a calm expression, but his eyes were deep, like a wisp of thick ink that couldn't be melted.
Because there is only one quilt in the room, and both of them are wearing very light and thin obscene clothes, it is inevitable that there will be physical contact.
Tang Yi immediately shook his head and didn't speak. He closed his eyes and could still smell a clear and delicate fragrance lingering in his nostrils, which made him a little distracted.
The eyelashes of the person in front of him trembled slightly, Ji Ming only looked at the young man silently for a moment but did not touch him, raised his hand and extinguished the candle with a sharp palm wind.
Tang Yi originally thought that he was destined to be sleepless tonight, but unexpectedly he slept very peacefully until dawn.
It was only when he opened his eyes that he realized that the sleeping posture he was so proud of turned into an octopus, with hands and feet wrapped around Ji Ming's body.
The left leg was still straddling the man's waist.
"..."
Tang Yi couldn't help being slightly taken aback, he has always been very obedient when sleeping, I don't know if it was because he was not used to sleeping in another bed, which caused him to sleep dishonestly at night.
The young man immediately turned his head to look at Ziming, and he was slightly relieved after seeing the other person's sleeping face very peacefully, and slowly moved his legs away from him.
Just when he was about to get out of bed, he found that Ming Ming was looking at him calmly with his eyes open, and the man's eyes were clear, obviously he didn't know how long he had been awake, let alone how long he had been looking at him.
It’s over.
Tang Yi only has one sentence left in his head at this moment——
"If I am guilty, the law will punish me instead of getting caught every time I lose face."
So, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Mingming smiled lazily, "I didn't bother you since you were sound asleep."
-
After the two washed up, they found that Grandma Jin had cooked porridge.
The mother-in-law greeted the two of them for dinner, Tang Yi and Ji Ming thanked them only to find that there were not a few grains of rice in the porridge, and the side dishes were also a few rotten vegetable leaves.
Tang Yi knew that the harvest in Xiangyue Village was not good, but he didn't expect to come to the village again to reach such a field, the young man couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Ji Ming pushed his porridge to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi has not yet reached the point of ascension, so sleep and whole grains are essential for young people, since he is afraid that he will lose strength for a while.
Granny Jin cast her eyes away from them and asked, "Why did you two come to Xiangyue Village? It's better to go further away."
Since he knew the reason, he asked, "Grandma, what happened in the village?"
"Oh, the village has been haunted recently, and many villagers have been taken away."
Tang Yi asked insincerely, "Maybe they ran away!"
The mother-in-law shook her head, "I didn't even say hello, and I didn't pack my luggage."
In this way, it is indeed very suspicious.The two looked at each other, Tang Yi asked a few insincere words, while secretly speculating in his heart.
Tang Yi smiled and said, "We took the wrong path and came here."
Granny Jin nodded after thinking for a while, because none of the nearby official roads lead to Xiangyue Village, and the trails are steep, so few people would come here.
Besides, because of the haunting incident recently, except for a few people sent by the government to investigate in the village a while ago, no one else dared to come.
Unexpectedly, people from the government came to investigate.
"Grandma, since the people from the government have checked, have you found anything?"
"No," Granny Jin shook her head slowly, "The people who came couldn't find anything, so they had to let us stay at home, and try not to go out at night."
The two nodded in unison.
Thinking about it, it is true, after all, the government has intervened, and the people sent must have investigated Xiangyue Village according to the instructions from above, but they did not find Ziwu Maoyou.
Tang Yi took out some broken silver from the purse and handed it to Granny Jin, but was rejected.
The two bid farewell to Granny Jin and went to investigate outside the village.
Tang Yi didn't choose to ask other villagers, but wandered around in a forest outside the village, and Ji Ming suggested to go and see it with him.
The branches were shadowy and dark. In fact, he had noticed it when he got off his horse yesterday, but it was too late, so he only came to the forest to check it now.
Holding the sword in his hand, Tang Yi cautiously stepped into the woods, and saw a little ghost squirming on the ground with black smoke all over his body. When he saw the two of them, he rushed towards him.
Ji Ming immediately reminded him to be more careful, although the young man obediently responded with a hum, he did not dodge, and quickly took out a piece of talisman paper.
He calmly held the talisman paper between his two fingers and flew towards the little ghost's face like a sharp knife, and then only heard a scream.
Tang Yi glanced at the little ghost lightly, and saw that it fell down and turned into a wisp of black smoke, but it drifted towards Jiming's knife, and the black smoke penetrated into the pearl inlaid with white luster on the handle, without a trace, like It was absorbed by the orb.
The young man was slightly taken aback.
"Does your precious sword have a name?"
Jiming said: "Zixiao."
The young man's eyes widened suddenly, "It's actually the same as mine."
Tang Yi didn't have any characters when he was a child. The word Zixiao was chosen for him by his master after he was brought back to Qingfeng Temple. His disciples all called him Tang Zixiao.
The man looked up at him, but there was no surprise in his eyes.
"Zi Xiao." Ming Ming muttered, but he didn't know who he was calling.
The deeper the two walked into the woods, the more they felt that there was a heavy cloud and mist in it, which made the two of them squint their eyes.
The fog is getting bigger and bigger.
There was no fog when I went out in the morning, but the fog became thicker when I entered the woods, especially when Tang Yi saw the delicate and beautiful flowers under the roots of the trees, he suddenly thought something was wrong.
The mother-in-law once mentioned the recent drought and no rain, but the two didn't take this sentence to heart at the time.Looking at it now, the trees are lush and lush, and the brocade embroidered grass in the forest is growing gratifyingly, which is really unimaginable.
Tang Yi couldn't help calling out "Jiming", and wanted to remind him but found that the man beside him had long since disappeared, so he had to squat down to observe carefully.
He took out a talisman and pasted it on the flower, and the budding flower withered immediately, turning into black smoke and drifting into the mist.
I don't know the truth of Lushan Mountain, but I only see it because I am in this mountain.
There was chaos in the thick fog, and the authorities were confused by the onlookers. After Tang Yi figured it out, he stretched his feet and jumped two or three feet to step on the branch. Everything was clearly visible.
After seeing the conspicuous robe, the young man finally showed a relaxed expression on his tense face, and he immediately turned over and landed firmly.
"Brother Ming." Seeing the man staring intently at the ground, Tang Yi scratched his head and couldn't help being curious. He knelt down and glanced instinctively.
Just such a faint glance made him frown.
Because there is a string of very neatly arranged footprints on the ground.
Tang Yi was a little confused, "Why is it so neat?"
Ji Ming shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Is it the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts?" The young man's eyes lit up suddenly. He had heard that the Yin Division conducts the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts every other month, and the ghosts will check the missing ghosts.
"No," Ji Ming pointed to a series of footprints, and said, "The ghosts in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk are all floating around, guided by ghost messengers, and their feet will not land on the ground."
The two discovered that this string of footprints led from outside the woods to the inside of the woods.
Jiming suddenly suggested: "Follow the footprints and see where you are going."
Tang Yi also nodded in agreement.
There was silence all around along the way, not even a bird or insect.
The two walked all the way in along the footprints, and when they were about to reach a tall and tall tree, Tang Yi suddenly kicked a stone.
He saw the stone rolling from his feet to the tree trunk without stopping.
Instead, it fell from their eyes.
Tang Yi immediately stopped Jiming, "No, stop!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously bit his index finger, and then dotted the vertical lines between his eyebrows with blood. He opened his eyes and saw everything clearly.
There is no big tree in front of him, and the other end of the rolling stone is clearly a steep mountain cliff, which makes the young man feel terrified.
Ji Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are the footprints from the villagers?"
"Since it's not a ghost, it must be a person."
It's just that the place where these footprints lead now is a cliff.
Tang Yi showed a bit of sadness on his face. It stands to reason that only a group of people would jump off the cliff together if they were all hypnotized, otherwise there would be hordes of ghouls.
Either way, it means that the captured villagers are in danger.
Behind the "boom", there was a roar similar to that of a wild animal.
The young man's face changed.
☆, Hara Kiyoshi
Tang Yi turned around and saw that it was a black wolf with a fierce look.
It is said to be a wolf, but it is actually more like a wolf demon.The fur of the whole body is black, only the pair of eyes on the top of the head are red, and it stares at the two of them unkindly.
He pursed his lips slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Is it a wolf demon?"
"No." Ji Ming said firmly.
Hei Lang sharpened his claws on the ground, but looked at the two of them angrily but didn't charge directly, the long sword vibrated slightly in his hand.
Ji Ming looked at the young man and said, "Let me come!"
Tang Yi immediately understood.
As soon as the long sword was retracted, the young man watched the man step sideways and turn around. The blade of Yi Dao exuded awe-inspiring coldness from top to bottom, and his moves were continuous.
Tang Yi closed his eyes and saw clearly that when Ji Ming made a move, black smoke was constantly lingering around the knife, and as he moved, there was a subtle sound in the black smoke.
It was a terrible scream.
Zixiao Dao has beheaded countless ghosts.
The long blade wrapped in strength entered straight in, and its strength caused Tang Yi to subconsciously use his true energy to stabilize his body, and Hei Lang fell down with a blow.
However, after the black wolf fell down, hundreds of mice sprang out from the ground.
When the young man squatted down to take a closer look, he suddenly realized that the black wolf was composed of countless rat demons, who came to scare the two of them dressed as wolf demons.
He picked up the tail of a mouse demon, and the other party screamed in fright.
A lot of rat monsters were chopped off by the sword before, and they all turned into a wisp of black smoke that was slowly sucked into the sword by the orb, and it was clear that the long sword was taken away before continuing.
With a clang, a black chess piece was hit on the ground, and the surrounding rat monsters immediately ran away in desperation, Tang Yi stared at the chess piece in a daze.
"—Brother Qingyue!"
The lotus step of the man in the moon white brocade robe was slightly wrong, his toes lightly tapped on the branch as if he was stepping on a red lotus, and he fell lightly. He faced Tang Yi and the two.
Yuan Qingyue wore a veil on his face, and under his eyebrows were clear phoenix eyes.
"Junior Brother Zixiao." He turned his gaze to Jiming, with a little doubt.
Tang Yi introduced in the middle, and the two quickly greeted each other.
Knowing that the senior brother was on the road day and night, the young man explained what Granny Jin had said, so that the senior brother could understand it more clearly.
Yuan Qingyue nodded, and looked around, "The miasma here is serious, and hallucinations are easy to occur. You must not stay for a long time. Let's go out of the forest first."
Tang Yi and Ji Ming responded together.
No wonder Fang saw the towering trees. It turned out that the miasma he inhaled in the woods was at work, and the accident almost happened, but the stone saved his life.
"You said, could the villagers have strayed into the woods by mistake and accidentally inhaled too much miasma without any precautions, which caused them to fall down the cliff in a daze?"
On the way, Tang Yi couldn't help expressing his speculation.
Ming touched the tip of his nose, "I'm not sure yet, but it's not impossible."
"But why are the trees lush and green when there is no rain?"
This is a problem.
When the three of them came out of the forest, they bumped into several villagers head-on. Seeing that all of them were pale and thin, and their faces were even worse, they could only hear a few people talking.
"Brother Zhang didn't die until he entered the woods!" An uncle stopped a few tanned men in front of him, trying to reason with him.
"In my opinion, just set fire to this forest and let it do something wrong!"
"The water tank in my house was smashed by that murderer."
The three of them learned from the mouths of several people that because the river was dry and the weather was still not raining, the crops were dry, so they wanted to go to the woods to dig some wild vegetables to eat.
"Brother, Uncle is right. The miasma in the depths of the woods will cause people to hallucinate if they don't pay attention, and they will be trapped in it, unable to get out."
Yuan Qingyue came forward to explain to them.
The big man showed embarrassment, and muttered in a low voice: "What can I do!"
Tang Yi and the two looked at each other, and after they had left, he took out two rain charms from his arms, "Now we have to ask for rain first."
Ji Ming said: "That's the only way."
-
The five-element talisman corresponds to: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, fire, thunder, lightning and rain.
Therefore, the five-element talisman can be used to summon wind and rain.
The young man stuck the rain talisman on the body of the sword as usual, while Ji Ming and Yuan Qingyue held umbrellas and watched his every move, seeing that his movements were exceptionally clean and neat.
"—Rain is coming!"
Just as Tang Yi finished speaking, a strong wind blew first, and then a few muffled thunderclaps slowly sounded in the air, and dark clouds came along with lightning and thunder.
The patter of raindrops fell.
True Qi circulated slowly in his body, Tang Yi let out a sigh of relief.
"It's raining, it's raining!" The villagers ran out happily when they heard the sound.
The man who had just turned around and walked not far away, who was downcast and cold, was suddenly doused by the rain, turned from sadness to joy, grinned and walked home with his companions.
Ji Ming put the oil-paper umbrella on Tang Yi's head, raised his hand to touch the young man's rain-soaked clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Daoist, are you cold?"
The man was just asking in his ear, but in the eyes of others, it was Ji Ming leaning close to the young man's ear and whispering, and Tang Yi seemed to be used to it.
Yuan Qingyue looked at the two of them in astonishment.
His younger brother has always been a loner, so he was surprised when he saw a man standing beside him today, but fortunately, the relationship between the two is harmonious.
"I'm not cold." Tang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this, but because he was a cultivator, few people would ask him if he was cold, so he smiled to reassure him.
Yuan Qingyue stood for a long time and coughed. He knew that his junior brother knew that the rain might not stop for an hour, so he suggested finding a place to shelter from the rain.
When the three returned to the village, they found a place to shelter from the rain.
It was a dilapidated old house. When I entered the house, I saw only a set of dusty tables and chairs, and the bed and curtains were covered with cobwebs.
But at least it can keep out the wind and rain.
Probably because no one lived in it for a long time, and the room was gloomy. Tang Yi walked around the room with his luggage on his back, but found nothing unusual.
Yuan Qingyue took out a piece of cloth from the bag he was carrying.
He spread it on the table, "Zi Xiao, come and play chess!"
Tang Yi frowned when he heard playing chess.
His senior brother's chess skills can be said to be very superb. Back then, Tang Yi was still learning from his master in the Qingfeng Temple. He played chess with his senior brother repeatedly and failed repeatedly.
But still couldn't hold on for a few steps before being defeated.
"Brother Jiming." Tang Yi looked at Jiming eagerly.
He felt that such a person of high status should prefer to play chess.It's a pity that Hara Kiyoshi, who is crazy about chess, doesn't know what the result will be.
After watching it for a while, he felt that it was boring, so he simply sat down and meditated.
After the zhenqi circulated in the body for a few weeks, Tang Yi slowly opened his eyes and found that the rain outside had stopped, and Zhi Ming and his senior brother were still playing chess.
"How many rounds are you playing?" Seeing the two of them paying attention, he asked in a low voice.
Ji Ming said: "Ten rounds."
"How's the result?"
"Your senior brother won six rounds, and I won four rounds." The man didn't lift his head.
Tang Yi couldn't help widening his eyes when he heard this. His brother, a chess idiot, used to pester his master and uncle to play chess, and they were so scared that they took a detour when they saw him.
It is really rare to win a game from Yuan Qingyue.
As soon as Tang Yi went out, he found that it was getting late.
At the door, I saw the villagers gathered together, and the leading woman was telling them tears with red eyes, and Tang Yi raised his legs and followed.
He stood aside and listened almost. It turned out that the woman had been doing needlework in the house just now, and her son ran out to play and was kidnapped.
The thief who killed thousands of swords even left a letter asking her to pay for the ransom.
"The thief said that if I can't afford the money, he will ask someone to sell my son to the fireworks field in the county town to be a servant, and I will only have five taels of silver left!"
The woman's eyes were swollen from crying.
The other onlookers couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.
Tang Yi listened for a while before asking, "Have you informed the village chief about this?"
There is no way, Xiangyue Village is really remote, if you want to report to the officials, you have to rush to the county town overnight, by then the people will have disappeared.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then cried: "The village chief died the day before yesterday."
Tang Yi's expression changed greatly upon hearing this.
The village chief who almost killed him in the past died unexpectedly.
He walked into the house without a word.
Back in the room, Tang Yi and the two narrated what he had just heard.
"Since he was abducted just now, the ground is wet and the road is slippery, and Xiangyue Village is very remote, so it's probably not too far away." Ji Ming thought for a while and said.
"If you chase now, you should be able to catch up." Yuan Qingyue immediately put away the chess pieces.
"It's not too late. Let's divide into three groups."
"Okay." Tang Yi nodded in response.
Although the rain had stopped outside, the sun had already set.I had to hurry to find someone. If I stayed until nightfall, it would be even more difficult to find someone in the dark.
-
This was Li Si's first time doing such a thing.
"Brother, do you think it's not good for us to do this!"
"What do you mean?" Zhang San carried the fainted little boy on his back.
"I see that the villagers are all wearing coarse clothes. You don't need to think about the virtues to live. You have to tighten your belt. How can there be money to redeem people?"
"What nonsense!" Zhang San raised his leg and kicked him, saying, "If no one brings the money in two hours, our brothers will sell him to a brothel."
Li Si immediately scratched his head with a smile. Some dignitaries like this kind of children who are less than fourteen or fifteen years old, so they should be able to sell for a good price.
The two made a big circle in the woods.
"Brother, that's not right, didn't you come here just now?"
Li Si glanced at the mark on the trunk and asked suspiciously.
"Damn it, what's wrong with it?" Zhang San spat on the ground.
He hurriedly looked around, the forest was so quiet that not even a bird could be heard, it was so scary, Li Si swallowed his saliva involuntarily.
"Brother, let me see if there is a ghost in this place!"
"Stop farting!" Zhang San gouged Li Si with his eyes, "Just scare yourself, you and I even dare to sell private salt, and we are afraid of a few brats!"
Speaking of which, the two were originally two small salt dealers in the border town, but recently the private salt in their hands could not be sold, because the higher-ups strictly checked, and several brothers lost their heads because of this a while ago.The two entered Lianzhou City overnight.
If you don't take the official road, you don't have to worry about it. When you passed by Xiangyue Village, you happened to see a little boy playing with water, so you moved here with a crooked mind.
I wanted to exchange some gold and silver, but I didn't expect the village to be so poor.
How unlucky!
"Brother, we are back here again!" Not to mention, because Li Si's voice was quite high-pitched, Zhang Sanyi was frightened, but after seeing the mark clearly, he couldn't help tightening his body suddenly, he didn't believe it was really a hell Big deal!
The more Li Si thought about it, the more evil he became, "Ghost hits the wall, ghost hits the wall!"
"Shut up!" Zhang San was annoyed by his noise, and gave him an annoyed look.
The two decided to rest in place for a while.
As soon as he sat down, he felt a gust of wind blowing, Li Si jumped up as if his butt was burned, and he grabbed Zhang San nervously.
"Brother, did you hear anything?"
Zhang San pricked up his ears vigilantly, "It's the wind."
"No." Li Si was a little hesitant and worried.
Zhang San wanted to say that he must be a servant, but saw a sedan chair decorated with silver and white all around but black, floating over like a ghost.
Although the sedan chair is extraordinarily gorgeous, there is no man to carry it.
Li Si was so frightened that he passed out immediately.
Zhang San untied the rope while running. He tied the stunned child to his body for the convenience of movement. Now it seems that it is thankless.
Just when he was about to run out of the woods, he saw a man wearing a veil standing not far from him. The man was slightly taken aback when he saw him.
"Ghost! There are ghosts in the woods!" Zhang San was out of breath. He wanted to run after he finished speaking, but the man in front of him was too strong and grabbed him.
Yuan Qingyue hesitated for a moment, "The ghost you mentioned looks like this?"
As he spoke, he slowly lifted the veil.
☆, Zhou Sung-wook
A scream came from the woods.
Hearing the sound, Ji Ming raised the curtain of the sedan chair to signal to get off the sedan chair, the eight white-faced little ghosts responded neatly, and got off the sedan chair slowly, Ji Ming followed the sound and flew forward.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he saw Yuan Qingyue squatting on the ground, a little boy in common clothes sitting aside and blinking his eyes, and an unconscious person lay on the ground.
Seeing this, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Qingyue shrugged, and spread his hands innocently, "I found him fainted as soon as I came."
Tang Yi covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and before entering the forest, he wet the handkerchief with water from a leather water bag to avoid inhaling too much miasma.
There were howling ghosts and howling wolves ahead.
A man with disheveled hair was pinching a man's neck with his hands.
"Stop!" Tang Yi immediately drew his sword to confront him. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see that the tormentor's nails were sharp and long, so he cut them off without saying a word.
The man immediately withdrew his hand and turned to look at him.
Tang Yi looked at the woman's disheveled hair and dirty face, and the coarse clothes she was wearing were dirty and smelly, and stared straight at him.
He stepped sideways and turned around, and slapped her arm again with a sword, only heard a clang, as if the sword hit a copper wall, and the opponent didn't hurt a single bit.
The woman suddenly raised her arms and jumped into the distance.
The young man couldn't help being startled, all signs indicated that it was a ghoul!
"Heroes help, heroes help!" Seeing that he wanted to leave, Li Si immediately hugged his thigh.
"You were bitten by her?" Tang Yi smelled blood on his body.
Li Si nodded with a mournful face.He had just woken up and wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong quickly, but he was suddenly attacked and his shoulder was bitten.
Glancing at his shoulder, Tang Yi said, "It's hopeless, wait for death!"
"Heroes, save me, save me! I, Li Si, swear that I will never do anything harmful to nature again, and I will definitely be a new man, save me!" Li Si also knew that the woman just now was not an ordinary person, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed plead with him.
Tang Yi looked at him and frowned, finally unloaded his burden and took out the exquisite porcelain bottle for him, let him wipe it on the wound, turned and left.
Li Sizi accepted it with great gratitude, but when he opened the porcelain bottle, he found a strong bloody smell inside, so he had to grit his teeth and take the medicine silently.
Tang Yi's true energy exploded, and he flew into the air, caught up with the jumping ghoul in a split second, broke the leaves and stabbed at her.
The extremely strong force wrapped around the leaves, flying towards the ghoul like a sharp sword.
It's just that the ghoul seems to have noticed something, and after moving sideways, the leaves barely brushed against her coarse clothes, and the young man turned over to block her way.
Being blocked again and again, the ghoul was completely annoyed.
There was a broken iron chain on her wrist, and every time the woman swung it, there would be a lot of noise, and her five fingers grabbed him like eagle claws.
If scratched by a ghoul, the wound will bleed profusely.
Tang Yi's figure turned around quickly, and the long sword was blocked in front of him. His body kicked back two steps in the air, leaving the woman in the air, and he didn't dare to idle his hands.
He took out a piece of talisman and approached it, his figure moved, and raised his hand to 'snap' the talisman to the wight's forehead, his expression was a bit tired right now.
However, although the talisman was pasted, it had no effect on the corpse.
The woman turned around and gave a sharp claw, Tang Yi's pupils shrank, Mo Yun moved back out of thin air to open the distance, but his robe was scratched by his nails.
He immediately changed his strategy, turned around, and pulled out the Spirit Binding Lock from his waist.
The binding spirit lock is a strange weapon in the fairy world. It is named after the thought that all the six worlds can be bound in it and cannot break free. Even the gods of Daluo can't help it.
"Xiao Daoist," said Ji Ming's voice behind him, "I'll help you!"
The two of them, one black and one white, are staggered, and they are bound to take down the ghoul.
-
"Swallow," just as the two of them were defeating the woman, Tang Yi just tied up the corpse with a spirit lock, when he saw a man running over.
"Don't hurt her!"
The man was dark-skinned, with an unshaven beard, and his clothes were fairly neat.
Jiming put the long knife on his neck, "Who are you to her?"
"She is my first wife." The man was slightly taken aback, lowering his head and said.
Hearing this, both of them froze in place, the young man's unbelievable eyes kept turning back and forth on the two of them, and the head of the strong man lowered even lower.
The down-to-earth man rubbed his hands together, and said, "My name is Zhou Chengxu, and Swallow is the baby name of my first wife, Zhang Qiuyan."
Tang Yi could only think of the words "Zhou Chengxu".
He frowned and said, "You have a sister named Zhou Chengfang."
Zhou Chengxu's face changed slightly when he heard the words, he stared at the two well-connected people in front of him calmly, and asked, "Young Xia, do you know my sister?"
Ji Ming accepted the quarrel and said, "Your sister entrusted us to find you."
Zhou Chengxu's eyes were slightly red when he heard this, and after a long time, he wiped the tears from his face with a choked voice, and asked, "Is my sister doing well?"
Tang Yi said: "She's fine, she just misses you very much"
"I'm sorry for her."
The two gradually heard some truths from his words.
It turned out that Zhou Chengxu and his sister managed the clothing store at home together in the early years. Later, when his sister married, he also married a wife, and the family enjoyed themselves happily.
The brother-in-law stumbled and fell into the moat after drinking, and his wife, Zhang Qiuyan, became ill because of miscarriage after three years of loving married life with him.
Within two years, he completely left Zhou Sung Wook.
Unable to accept the fact that his wife died of illness, he hired a carriage to Xiangyue Village alone that night, and the carriage still carried his wife's body.
Xiangyue Village is the place where Zhang Qiuyan was born and raised.
In fact, Zhou Chengxu didn't think too much, he just hoped to bury his wife in the woods near Xiangyue Village, and it was his wife's wish to return the fallen leaves to their roots.
Unexpectedly, I met an expert on the road.
When he decided to bury him with tears in his eyes, the man in black stopped him and claimed that he could bring his wife back from the dead.
He knew that life and death depended on wealth and honor, even though Zhou Chengxu didn't quite believe what the man in black said at the time, he still followed the instructions.
Zhang Qiuyan really "resurrected from the dead".
Hearing this, Tang Yi was hesitant to speak, and the refined ghouls are actually no different from the living dead, even if they have a body that has never been used before.
In the end, it still couldn't change the result of her death.
Experts said that Zhang Qiuyan wanted to eat meat to save her life, but at that time Zhou Chengxu was still immersed in the joy of finding it again, so there was no doubt about it.
At the beginning, Zhou Chengxu called his wife by her baby name and changed her clothes. She understood and cooperated like an ordinary person. He felt that everything was alright.
But as time went by, Zhang Qiuyan's behavior became very weird.
She always walks with her arms raised flat.
And he is very sensitive to the smell of blood. Once when he went up the mountain to cut firewood and accidentally scratched his hand, he bandaged it up, and his wife sniffed him.
In the end, he almost bit him.
In order to keep Zhang Qiuyan alive, Zhou Chengxu had to go to the city every now and then to buy some chicken and pork back, and his wife's appetite was very large.
Gradually, he discovered that his wife preferred to eat live animals.
The last time he bought a live hen, Zhang Qiuyan actually ate the hen clean with blood and hair, not even a single bone was left.
At that time, Zhou Chengxu saw that the blood in his whole body was about to freeze.
A few days later, he heard people in the village say that many villagers in the village had lost a lot of livestock in recent days, including five or six chickens a few days ago.
Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
But the most difficult thing for him to accept is that Zhang Qiuyan, who was gentle, considerate and understanding not long ago, has changed drastically, and she won't even let men touch her.
Because he often went to the village to steal chickens and dogs, Zhou Chengxu had to lock his wife's hands and feet with iron shackles and lock them in the house to prevent her from entering the village again to steal chickens.
Fortunately, there were not many villagers in Xiangyue Village. Zhou Chengxu and his wife lived in a hut built on the mountain, and no one noticed that there was an extra family.
Unexpectedly, this time, somehow, the iron chain with thick wrists was broken.
"It wasn't the chain she broke free, it was someone who cut the chain."
First, if ordinary people want to quickly break free from wrist-thick iron chains, only those who have practiced martial arts for more than ten years.
Relying on a whole body of strength to break the iron chain, the iron chain is bound to be broken piece by piece, and the sound will definitely be extremely loud.
But even though the iron chain was broken right now, the iron shackles on her two wrists showed no signs of damage, and there were traces of sharp edges on the iron chain.
This is enough to prove that it was cut off artificially.
"Besides, if you are refined into a ghoul, if you don't master the fire properly, some of your original habits will remain." Tang Yi said in a flat tone.
He glanced at Zhang Qiuyan who was immobilized by the spirit lock.
And, the most important point is that ghouls obviously prefer to eat living things, including people, rather than meat, and they won't die without meat.
When they are hungry, they look for food, which of course refers to people.
"Originally, she could be reincarnated as a human being."
Zhou Chengxu's hands trembled, "What about now?"
Tang Yi said: "The ashes will be wiped out, and you will not be reborn."
What the young man said was very unreasonable, but it was true.Moreover, swallows are a huge hidden danger to the villagers, and once they bite someone, it is no small matter.
"Zhang Qiuyan is not a human being. After becoming a ghoul, she can no longer control what she does independently." She knew the man's mind clearly.
Nor is it his wife anymore.
Zhou Chengxu couldn't help crying when he heard the words. He and Zhang Qiuyan were torturing each other during the time in Xiangyue Village, but in fact she died long ago.
All that was left was a soulless corpse.
Tang Yi raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"Young man," Granny Jin staggered, leading them into the back room.There is an indescribable musty smell inside, a small bed, a wooden table with tea bowls, and two chairs are all the things in the room.
"There is only one bed in the room, so you can make do with it, no problem!"
"Thank you, mother-in-law, there is no problem." There was a hint of a smile in Ji Ming's eyes.
☆, sharing the same bed
When Tang Yi was lying on the bed, he still felt unreal.
He would actually share the same bed with Ji Ming.
He slowly turned his head to the side and glanced at the man, but saw Ji Ming's hands folded on the quilt, his chest heaving and falling, and he could vaguely hear the sound of even breathing.
Probably because the candlelight in the room was too dim, which made the man's already handsome facial features more three-dimensional, and the thick long eyelashes cast two small shadows under the eyelids.
After a while, Tang Yi was about to look back, but unexpectedly, Ji Ming turned over and fell asleep on his side in his direction.He was only wearing obscene clothes, because the movement of turning over revealed a large white chest, and the young man's eyes naturally fell on the white jade pendant worn by the man around his neck.
The young man suddenly opened his eyes wide. The jade pendant seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to him, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the jade pendant.
The pattern carved on it was extremely complicated, and Tang Yi couldn't guess what pattern was carved after looking at it for a long time.But it seems more like a totem.
I found that the jade pendant was like curd fat and white like cut fat.He thought it should be almost flawless suet white jade, rubbed it for a while, and then reluctantly let go.
The young man let go of his hand carefully, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Jiming was staring at him quietly with his eyes open, the shadow of his eyelashes covering the expression at the bottom of his eyes.
Tang Yi was suddenly taken aback, and subconsciously leaned back.
For a moment, he even forgot that he was on the outside, and besides, it is very difficult to accommodate two people on this small bed, and it is possible to fall if you turn over.
Zhiming stretched out his long arms and pulled him into his arms.
"Xiao Daoist, can't you sleep?" The man raised his brows slightly, and looked down at Tang Yi with a calm expression, but his eyes were deep, like a wisp of thick ink that couldn't be melted.
Because there is only one quilt in the room, and both of them are wearing very light and thin obscene clothes, it is inevitable that there will be physical contact.
Tang Yi immediately shook his head and didn't speak. He closed his eyes and could still smell a clear and delicate fragrance lingering in his nostrils, which made him a little distracted.
The eyelashes of the person in front of him trembled slightly, Ji Ming only looked at the young man silently for a moment but did not touch him, raised his hand and extinguished the candle with a sharp palm wind.
Tang Yi originally thought that he was destined to be sleepless tonight, but unexpectedly he slept very peacefully until dawn.
It was only when he opened his eyes that he realized that the sleeping posture he was so proud of turned into an octopus, with hands and feet wrapped around Ji Ming's body.
The left leg was still straddling the man's waist.
"..."
Tang Yi couldn't help being slightly taken aback, he has always been very obedient when sleeping, I don't know if it was because he was not used to sleeping in another bed, which caused him to sleep dishonestly at night.
The young man immediately turned his head to look at Ziming, and he was slightly relieved after seeing the other person's sleeping face very peacefully, and slowly moved his legs away from him.
Just when he was about to get out of bed, he found that Ming Ming was looking at him calmly with his eyes open, and the man's eyes were clear, obviously he didn't know how long he had been awake, let alone how long he had been looking at him.
It’s over.
Tang Yi only has one sentence left in his head at this moment——
"If I am guilty, the law will punish me instead of getting caught every time I lose face."
So, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Mingming smiled lazily, "I didn't bother you since you were sound asleep."
-
After the two washed up, they found that Grandma Jin had cooked porridge.
The mother-in-law greeted the two of them for dinner, Tang Yi and Ji Ming thanked them only to find that there were not a few grains of rice in the porridge, and the side dishes were also a few rotten vegetable leaves.
Tang Yi knew that the harvest in Xiangyue Village was not good, but he didn't expect to come to the village again to reach such a field, the young man couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Ji Ming pushed his porridge to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi has not yet reached the point of ascension, so sleep and whole grains are essential for young people, since he is afraid that he will lose strength for a while.
Granny Jin cast her eyes away from them and asked, "Why did you two come to Xiangyue Village? It's better to go further away."
Since he knew the reason, he asked, "Grandma, what happened in the village?"
"Oh, the village has been haunted recently, and many villagers have been taken away."
Tang Yi asked insincerely, "Maybe they ran away!"
The mother-in-law shook her head, "I didn't even say hello, and I didn't pack my luggage."
In this way, it is indeed very suspicious.The two looked at each other, Tang Yi asked a few insincere words, while secretly speculating in his heart.
Tang Yi smiled and said, "We took the wrong path and came here."
Granny Jin nodded after thinking for a while, because none of the nearby official roads lead to Xiangyue Village, and the trails are steep, so few people would come here.
Besides, because of the haunting incident recently, except for a few people sent by the government to investigate in the village a while ago, no one else dared to come.
Unexpectedly, people from the government came to investigate.
"Grandma, since the people from the government have checked, have you found anything?"
"No," Granny Jin shook her head slowly, "The people who came couldn't find anything, so they had to let us stay at home, and try not to go out at night."
The two nodded in unison.
Thinking about it, it is true, after all, the government has intervened, and the people sent must have investigated Xiangyue Village according to the instructions from above, but they did not find Ziwu Maoyou.
Tang Yi took out some broken silver from the purse and handed it to Granny Jin, but was rejected.
The two bid farewell to Granny Jin and went to investigate outside the village.
Tang Yi didn't choose to ask other villagers, but wandered around in a forest outside the village, and Ji Ming suggested to go and see it with him.
The branches were shadowy and dark. In fact, he had noticed it when he got off his horse yesterday, but it was too late, so he only came to the forest to check it now.
Holding the sword in his hand, Tang Yi cautiously stepped into the woods, and saw a little ghost squirming on the ground with black smoke all over his body. When he saw the two of them, he rushed towards him.
Ji Ming immediately reminded him to be more careful, although the young man obediently responded with a hum, he did not dodge, and quickly took out a piece of talisman paper.
He calmly held the talisman paper between his two fingers and flew towards the little ghost's face like a sharp knife, and then only heard a scream.
Tang Yi glanced at the little ghost lightly, and saw that it fell down and turned into a wisp of black smoke, but it drifted towards Jiming's knife, and the black smoke penetrated into the pearl inlaid with white luster on the handle, without a trace, like It was absorbed by the orb.
The young man was slightly taken aback.
"Does your precious sword have a name?"
Jiming said: "Zixiao."
The young man's eyes widened suddenly, "It's actually the same as mine."
Tang Yi didn't have any characters when he was a child. The word Zixiao was chosen for him by his master after he was brought back to Qingfeng Temple. His disciples all called him Tang Zixiao.
The man looked up at him, but there was no surprise in his eyes.
"Zi Xiao." Ming Ming muttered, but he didn't know who he was calling.
The deeper the two walked into the woods, the more they felt that there was a heavy cloud and mist in it, which made the two of them squint their eyes.
The fog is getting bigger and bigger.
There was no fog when I went out in the morning, but the fog became thicker when I entered the woods, especially when Tang Yi saw the delicate and beautiful flowers under the roots of the trees, he suddenly thought something was wrong.
The mother-in-law once mentioned the recent drought and no rain, but the two didn't take this sentence to heart at the time.Looking at it now, the trees are lush and lush, and the brocade embroidered grass in the forest is growing gratifyingly, which is really unimaginable.
Tang Yi couldn't help calling out "Jiming", and wanted to remind him but found that the man beside him had long since disappeared, so he had to squat down to observe carefully.
He took out a talisman and pasted it on the flower, and the budding flower withered immediately, turning into black smoke and drifting into the mist.
I don't know the truth of Lushan Mountain, but I only see it because I am in this mountain.
There was chaos in the thick fog, and the authorities were confused by the onlookers. After Tang Yi figured it out, he stretched his feet and jumped two or three feet to step on the branch. Everything was clearly visible.
After seeing the conspicuous robe, the young man finally showed a relaxed expression on his tense face, and he immediately turned over and landed firmly.
"Brother Ming." Seeing the man staring intently at the ground, Tang Yi scratched his head and couldn't help being curious. He knelt down and glanced instinctively.
Just such a faint glance made him frown.
Because there is a string of very neatly arranged footprints on the ground.
Tang Yi was a little confused, "Why is it so neat?"
Ji Ming shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Is it the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts?" The young man's eyes lit up suddenly. He had heard that the Yin Division conducts the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts every other month, and the ghosts will check the missing ghosts.
"No," Ji Ming pointed to a series of footprints, and said, "The ghosts in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk are all floating around, guided by ghost messengers, and their feet will not land on the ground."
The two discovered that this string of footprints led from outside the woods to the inside of the woods.
Jiming suddenly suggested: "Follow the footprints and see where you are going."
Tang Yi also nodded in agreement.
There was silence all around along the way, not even a bird or insect.
The two walked all the way in along the footprints, and when they were about to reach a tall and tall tree, Tang Yi suddenly kicked a stone.
He saw the stone rolling from his feet to the tree trunk without stopping.
Instead, it fell from their eyes.
Tang Yi immediately stopped Jiming, "No, stop!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously bit his index finger, and then dotted the vertical lines between his eyebrows with blood. He opened his eyes and saw everything clearly.
There is no big tree in front of him, and the other end of the rolling stone is clearly a steep mountain cliff, which makes the young man feel terrified.
Ji Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are the footprints from the villagers?"
"Since it's not a ghost, it must be a person."
It's just that the place where these footprints lead now is a cliff.
Tang Yi showed a bit of sadness on his face. It stands to reason that only a group of people would jump off the cliff together if they were all hypnotized, otherwise there would be hordes of ghouls.
Either way, it means that the captured villagers are in danger.
Behind the "boom", there was a roar similar to that of a wild animal.
The young man's face changed.
☆, Hara Kiyoshi
Tang Yi turned around and saw that it was a black wolf with a fierce look.
It is said to be a wolf, but it is actually more like a wolf demon.The fur of the whole body is black, only the pair of eyes on the top of the head are red, and it stares at the two of them unkindly.
He pursed his lips slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Is it a wolf demon?"
"No." Ji Ming said firmly.
Hei Lang sharpened his claws on the ground, but looked at the two of them angrily but didn't charge directly, the long sword vibrated slightly in his hand.
Ji Ming looked at the young man and said, "Let me come!"
Tang Yi immediately understood.
As soon as the long sword was retracted, the young man watched the man step sideways and turn around. The blade of Yi Dao exuded awe-inspiring coldness from top to bottom, and his moves were continuous.
Tang Yi closed his eyes and saw clearly that when Ji Ming made a move, black smoke was constantly lingering around the knife, and as he moved, there was a subtle sound in the black smoke.
It was a terrible scream.
Zixiao Dao has beheaded countless ghosts.
The long blade wrapped in strength entered straight in, and its strength caused Tang Yi to subconsciously use his true energy to stabilize his body, and Hei Lang fell down with a blow.
However, after the black wolf fell down, hundreds of mice sprang out from the ground.
When the young man squatted down to take a closer look, he suddenly realized that the black wolf was composed of countless rat demons, who came to scare the two of them dressed as wolf demons.
He picked up the tail of a mouse demon, and the other party screamed in fright.
A lot of rat monsters were chopped off by the sword before, and they all turned into a wisp of black smoke that was slowly sucked into the sword by the orb, and it was clear that the long sword was taken away before continuing.
With a clang, a black chess piece was hit on the ground, and the surrounding rat monsters immediately ran away in desperation, Tang Yi stared at the chess piece in a daze.
"—Brother Qingyue!"
The lotus step of the man in the moon white brocade robe was slightly wrong, his toes lightly tapped on the branch as if he was stepping on a red lotus, and he fell lightly. He faced Tang Yi and the two.
Yuan Qingyue wore a veil on his face, and under his eyebrows were clear phoenix eyes.
"Junior Brother Zixiao." He turned his gaze to Jiming, with a little doubt.
Tang Yi introduced in the middle, and the two quickly greeted each other.
Knowing that the senior brother was on the road day and night, the young man explained what Granny Jin had said, so that the senior brother could understand it more clearly.
Yuan Qingyue nodded, and looked around, "The miasma here is serious, and hallucinations are easy to occur. You must not stay for a long time. Let's go out of the forest first."
Tang Yi and Ji Ming responded together.
No wonder Fang saw the towering trees. It turned out that the miasma he inhaled in the woods was at work, and the accident almost happened, but the stone saved his life.
"You said, could the villagers have strayed into the woods by mistake and accidentally inhaled too much miasma without any precautions, which caused them to fall down the cliff in a daze?"
On the way, Tang Yi couldn't help expressing his speculation.
Ming touched the tip of his nose, "I'm not sure yet, but it's not impossible."
"But why are the trees lush and green when there is no rain?"
This is a problem.
When the three of them came out of the forest, they bumped into several villagers head-on. Seeing that all of them were pale and thin, and their faces were even worse, they could only hear a few people talking.
"Brother Zhang didn't die until he entered the woods!" An uncle stopped a few tanned men in front of him, trying to reason with him.
"In my opinion, just set fire to this forest and let it do something wrong!"
"The water tank in my house was smashed by that murderer."
The three of them learned from the mouths of several people that because the river was dry and the weather was still not raining, the crops were dry, so they wanted to go to the woods to dig some wild vegetables to eat.
"Brother, Uncle is right. The miasma in the depths of the woods will cause people to hallucinate if they don't pay attention, and they will be trapped in it, unable to get out."
Yuan Qingyue came forward to explain to them.
The big man showed embarrassment, and muttered in a low voice: "What can I do!"
Tang Yi and the two looked at each other, and after they had left, he took out two rain charms from his arms, "Now we have to ask for rain first."
Ji Ming said: "That's the only way."
-
The five-element talisman corresponds to: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, fire, thunder, lightning and rain.
Therefore, the five-element talisman can be used to summon wind and rain.
The young man stuck the rain talisman on the body of the sword as usual, while Ji Ming and Yuan Qingyue held umbrellas and watched his every move, seeing that his movements were exceptionally clean and neat.
"—Rain is coming!"
Just as Tang Yi finished speaking, a strong wind blew first, and then a few muffled thunderclaps slowly sounded in the air, and dark clouds came along with lightning and thunder.
The patter of raindrops fell.
True Qi circulated slowly in his body, Tang Yi let out a sigh of relief.
"It's raining, it's raining!" The villagers ran out happily when they heard the sound.
The man who had just turned around and walked not far away, who was downcast and cold, was suddenly doused by the rain, turned from sadness to joy, grinned and walked home with his companions.
Ji Ming put the oil-paper umbrella on Tang Yi's head, raised his hand to touch the young man's rain-soaked clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Daoist, are you cold?"
The man was just asking in his ear, but in the eyes of others, it was Ji Ming leaning close to the young man's ear and whispering, and Tang Yi seemed to be used to it.
Yuan Qingyue looked at the two of them in astonishment.
His younger brother has always been a loner, so he was surprised when he saw a man standing beside him today, but fortunately, the relationship between the two is harmonious.
"I'm not cold." Tang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this, but because he was a cultivator, few people would ask him if he was cold, so he smiled to reassure him.
Yuan Qingyue stood for a long time and coughed. He knew that his junior brother knew that the rain might not stop for an hour, so he suggested finding a place to shelter from the rain.
When the three returned to the village, they found a place to shelter from the rain.
It was a dilapidated old house. When I entered the house, I saw only a set of dusty tables and chairs, and the bed and curtains were covered with cobwebs.
But at least it can keep out the wind and rain.
Probably because no one lived in it for a long time, and the room was gloomy. Tang Yi walked around the room with his luggage on his back, but found nothing unusual.
Yuan Qingyue took out a piece of cloth from the bag he was carrying.
He spread it on the table, "Zi Xiao, come and play chess!"
Tang Yi frowned when he heard playing chess.
His senior brother's chess skills can be said to be very superb. Back then, Tang Yi was still learning from his master in the Qingfeng Temple. He played chess with his senior brother repeatedly and failed repeatedly.
But still couldn't hold on for a few steps before being defeated.
"Brother Jiming." Tang Yi looked at Jiming eagerly.
He felt that such a person of high status should prefer to play chess.It's a pity that Hara Kiyoshi, who is crazy about chess, doesn't know what the result will be.
After watching it for a while, he felt that it was boring, so he simply sat down and meditated.
After the zhenqi circulated in the body for a few weeks, Tang Yi slowly opened his eyes and found that the rain outside had stopped, and Zhi Ming and his senior brother were still playing chess.
"How many rounds are you playing?" Seeing the two of them paying attention, he asked in a low voice.
Ji Ming said: "Ten rounds."
"How's the result?"
"Your senior brother won six rounds, and I won four rounds." The man didn't lift his head.
Tang Yi couldn't help widening his eyes when he heard this. His brother, a chess idiot, used to pester his master and uncle to play chess, and they were so scared that they took a detour when they saw him.
It is really rare to win a game from Yuan Qingyue.
As soon as Tang Yi went out, he found that it was getting late.
At the door, I saw the villagers gathered together, and the leading woman was telling them tears with red eyes, and Tang Yi raised his legs and followed.
He stood aside and listened almost. It turned out that the woman had been doing needlework in the house just now, and her son ran out to play and was kidnapped.
The thief who killed thousands of swords even left a letter asking her to pay for the ransom.
"The thief said that if I can't afford the money, he will ask someone to sell my son to the fireworks field in the county town to be a servant, and I will only have five taels of silver left!"
The woman's eyes were swollen from crying.
The other onlookers couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.
Tang Yi listened for a while before asking, "Have you informed the village chief about this?"
There is no way, Xiangyue Village is really remote, if you want to report to the officials, you have to rush to the county town overnight, by then the people will have disappeared.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then cried: "The village chief died the day before yesterday."
Tang Yi's expression changed greatly upon hearing this.
The village chief who almost killed him in the past died unexpectedly.
He walked into the house without a word.
Back in the room, Tang Yi and the two narrated what he had just heard.
"Since he was abducted just now, the ground is wet and the road is slippery, and Xiangyue Village is very remote, so it's probably not too far away." Ji Ming thought for a while and said.
"If you chase now, you should be able to catch up." Yuan Qingyue immediately put away the chess pieces.
"It's not too late. Let's divide into three groups."
"Okay." Tang Yi nodded in response.
Although the rain had stopped outside, the sun had already set.I had to hurry to find someone. If I stayed until nightfall, it would be even more difficult to find someone in the dark.
-
This was Li Si's first time doing such a thing.
"Brother, do you think it's not good for us to do this!"
"What do you mean?" Zhang San carried the fainted little boy on his back.
"I see that the villagers are all wearing coarse clothes. You don't need to think about the virtues to live. You have to tighten your belt. How can there be money to redeem people?"
"What nonsense!" Zhang San raised his leg and kicked him, saying, "If no one brings the money in two hours, our brothers will sell him to a brothel."
Li Si immediately scratched his head with a smile. Some dignitaries like this kind of children who are less than fourteen or fifteen years old, so they should be able to sell for a good price.
The two made a big circle in the woods.
"Brother, that's not right, didn't you come here just now?"
Li Si glanced at the mark on the trunk and asked suspiciously.
"Damn it, what's wrong with it?" Zhang San spat on the ground.
He hurriedly looked around, the forest was so quiet that not even a bird could be heard, it was so scary, Li Si swallowed his saliva involuntarily.
"Brother, let me see if there is a ghost in this place!"
"Stop farting!" Zhang San gouged Li Si with his eyes, "Just scare yourself, you and I even dare to sell private salt, and we are afraid of a few brats!"
Speaking of which, the two were originally two small salt dealers in the border town, but recently the private salt in their hands could not be sold, because the higher-ups strictly checked, and several brothers lost their heads because of this a while ago.The two entered Lianzhou City overnight.
If you don't take the official road, you don't have to worry about it. When you passed by Xiangyue Village, you happened to see a little boy playing with water, so you moved here with a crooked mind.
I wanted to exchange some gold and silver, but I didn't expect the village to be so poor.
How unlucky!
"Brother, we are back here again!" Not to mention, because Li Si's voice was quite high-pitched, Zhang Sanyi was frightened, but after seeing the mark clearly, he couldn't help tightening his body suddenly, he didn't believe it was really a hell Big deal!
The more Li Si thought about it, the more evil he became, "Ghost hits the wall, ghost hits the wall!"
"Shut up!" Zhang San was annoyed by his noise, and gave him an annoyed look.
The two decided to rest in place for a while.
As soon as he sat down, he felt a gust of wind blowing, Li Si jumped up as if his butt was burned, and he grabbed Zhang San nervously.
"Brother, did you hear anything?"
Zhang San pricked up his ears vigilantly, "It's the wind."
"No." Li Si was a little hesitant and worried.
Zhang San wanted to say that he must be a servant, but saw a sedan chair decorated with silver and white all around but black, floating over like a ghost.
Although the sedan chair is extraordinarily gorgeous, there is no man to carry it.
Li Si was so frightened that he passed out immediately.
Zhang San untied the rope while running. He tied the stunned child to his body for the convenience of movement. Now it seems that it is thankless.
Just when he was about to run out of the woods, he saw a man wearing a veil standing not far from him. The man was slightly taken aback when he saw him.
"Ghost! There are ghosts in the woods!" Zhang San was out of breath. He wanted to run after he finished speaking, but the man in front of him was too strong and grabbed him.
Yuan Qingyue hesitated for a moment, "The ghost you mentioned looks like this?"
As he spoke, he slowly lifted the veil.
☆, Zhou Sung-wook
A scream came from the woods.
Hearing the sound, Ji Ming raised the curtain of the sedan chair to signal to get off the sedan chair, the eight white-faced little ghosts responded neatly, and got off the sedan chair slowly, Ji Ming followed the sound and flew forward.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he saw Yuan Qingyue squatting on the ground, a little boy in common clothes sitting aside and blinking his eyes, and an unconscious person lay on the ground.
Seeing this, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Qingyue shrugged, and spread his hands innocently, "I found him fainted as soon as I came."
Tang Yi covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and before entering the forest, he wet the handkerchief with water from a leather water bag to avoid inhaling too much miasma.
There were howling ghosts and howling wolves ahead.
A man with disheveled hair was pinching a man's neck with his hands.
"Stop!" Tang Yi immediately drew his sword to confront him. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see that the tormentor's nails were sharp and long, so he cut them off without saying a word.
The man immediately withdrew his hand and turned to look at him.
Tang Yi looked at the woman's disheveled hair and dirty face, and the coarse clothes she was wearing were dirty and smelly, and stared straight at him.
He stepped sideways and turned around, and slapped her arm again with a sword, only heard a clang, as if the sword hit a copper wall, and the opponent didn't hurt a single bit.
The woman suddenly raised her arms and jumped into the distance.
The young man couldn't help being startled, all signs indicated that it was a ghoul!
"Heroes help, heroes help!" Seeing that he wanted to leave, Li Si immediately hugged his thigh.
"You were bitten by her?" Tang Yi smelled blood on his body.
Li Si nodded with a mournful face.He had just woken up and wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong quickly, but he was suddenly attacked and his shoulder was bitten.
Glancing at his shoulder, Tang Yi said, "It's hopeless, wait for death!"
"Heroes, save me, save me! I, Li Si, swear that I will never do anything harmful to nature again, and I will definitely be a new man, save me!" Li Si also knew that the woman just now was not an ordinary person, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed plead with him.
Tang Yi looked at him and frowned, finally unloaded his burden and took out the exquisite porcelain bottle for him, let him wipe it on the wound, turned and left.
Li Sizi accepted it with great gratitude, but when he opened the porcelain bottle, he found a strong bloody smell inside, so he had to grit his teeth and take the medicine silently.
Tang Yi's true energy exploded, and he flew into the air, caught up with the jumping ghoul in a split second, broke the leaves and stabbed at her.
The extremely strong force wrapped around the leaves, flying towards the ghoul like a sharp sword.
It's just that the ghoul seems to have noticed something, and after moving sideways, the leaves barely brushed against her coarse clothes, and the young man turned over to block her way.
Being blocked again and again, the ghoul was completely annoyed.
There was a broken iron chain on her wrist, and every time the woman swung it, there would be a lot of noise, and her five fingers grabbed him like eagle claws.
If scratched by a ghoul, the wound will bleed profusely.
Tang Yi's figure turned around quickly, and the long sword was blocked in front of him. His body kicked back two steps in the air, leaving the woman in the air, and he didn't dare to idle his hands.
He took out a piece of talisman and approached it, his figure moved, and raised his hand to 'snap' the talisman to the wight's forehead, his expression was a bit tired right now.
However, although the talisman was pasted, it had no effect on the corpse.
The woman turned around and gave a sharp claw, Tang Yi's pupils shrank, Mo Yun moved back out of thin air to open the distance, but his robe was scratched by his nails.
He immediately changed his strategy, turned around, and pulled out the Spirit Binding Lock from his waist.
The binding spirit lock is a strange weapon in the fairy world. It is named after the thought that all the six worlds can be bound in it and cannot break free. Even the gods of Daluo can't help it.
"Xiao Daoist," said Ji Ming's voice behind him, "I'll help you!"
The two of them, one black and one white, are staggered, and they are bound to take down the ghoul.
-
"Swallow," just as the two of them were defeating the woman, Tang Yi just tied up the corpse with a spirit lock, when he saw a man running over.
"Don't hurt her!"
The man was dark-skinned, with an unshaven beard, and his clothes were fairly neat.
Jiming put the long knife on his neck, "Who are you to her?"
"She is my first wife." The man was slightly taken aback, lowering his head and said.
Hearing this, both of them froze in place, the young man's unbelievable eyes kept turning back and forth on the two of them, and the head of the strong man lowered even lower.
The down-to-earth man rubbed his hands together, and said, "My name is Zhou Chengxu, and Swallow is the baby name of my first wife, Zhang Qiuyan."
Tang Yi could only think of the words "Zhou Chengxu".
He frowned and said, "You have a sister named Zhou Chengfang."
Zhou Chengxu's face changed slightly when he heard the words, he stared at the two well-connected people in front of him calmly, and asked, "Young Xia, do you know my sister?"
Ji Ming accepted the quarrel and said, "Your sister entrusted us to find you."
Zhou Chengxu's eyes were slightly red when he heard this, and after a long time, he wiped the tears from his face with a choked voice, and asked, "Is my sister doing well?"
Tang Yi said: "She's fine, she just misses you very much"
"I'm sorry for her."
The two gradually heard some truths from his words.
It turned out that Zhou Chengxu and his sister managed the clothing store at home together in the early years. Later, when his sister married, he also married a wife, and the family enjoyed themselves happily.
The brother-in-law stumbled and fell into the moat after drinking, and his wife, Zhang Qiuyan, became ill because of miscarriage after three years of loving married life with him.
Within two years, he completely left Zhou Sung Wook.
Unable to accept the fact that his wife died of illness, he hired a carriage to Xiangyue Village alone that night, and the carriage still carried his wife's body.
Xiangyue Village is the place where Zhang Qiuyan was born and raised.
In fact, Zhou Chengxu didn't think too much, he just hoped to bury his wife in the woods near Xiangyue Village, and it was his wife's wish to return the fallen leaves to their roots.
Unexpectedly, I met an expert on the road.
When he decided to bury him with tears in his eyes, the man in black stopped him and claimed that he could bring his wife back from the dead.
He knew that life and death depended on wealth and honor, even though Zhou Chengxu didn't quite believe what the man in black said at the time, he still followed the instructions.
Zhang Qiuyan really "resurrected from the dead".
Hearing this, Tang Yi was hesitant to speak, and the refined ghouls are actually no different from the living dead, even if they have a body that has never been used before.
In the end, it still couldn't change the result of her death.
Experts said that Zhang Qiuyan wanted to eat meat to save her life, but at that time Zhou Chengxu was still immersed in the joy of finding it again, so there was no doubt about it.
At the beginning, Zhou Chengxu called his wife by her baby name and changed her clothes. She understood and cooperated like an ordinary person. He felt that everything was alright.
But as time went by, Zhang Qiuyan's behavior became very weird.
She always walks with her arms raised flat.
And he is very sensitive to the smell of blood. Once when he went up the mountain to cut firewood and accidentally scratched his hand, he bandaged it up, and his wife sniffed him.
In the end, he almost bit him.
In order to keep Zhang Qiuyan alive, Zhou Chengxu had to go to the city every now and then to buy some chicken and pork back, and his wife's appetite was very large.
Gradually, he discovered that his wife preferred to eat live animals.
The last time he bought a live hen, Zhang Qiuyan actually ate the hen clean with blood and hair, not even a single bone was left.
At that time, Zhou Chengxu saw that the blood in his whole body was about to freeze.
A few days later, he heard people in the village say that many villagers in the village had lost a lot of livestock in recent days, including five or six chickens a few days ago.
Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
But the most difficult thing for him to accept is that Zhang Qiuyan, who was gentle, considerate and understanding not long ago, has changed drastically, and she won't even let men touch her.
Because he often went to the village to steal chickens and dogs, Zhou Chengxu had to lock his wife's hands and feet with iron shackles and lock them in the house to prevent her from entering the village again to steal chickens.
Fortunately, there were not many villagers in Xiangyue Village. Zhou Chengxu and his wife lived in a hut built on the mountain, and no one noticed that there was an extra family.
Unexpectedly, this time, somehow, the iron chain with thick wrists was broken.
"It wasn't the chain she broke free, it was someone who cut the chain."
First, if ordinary people want to quickly break free from wrist-thick iron chains, only those who have practiced martial arts for more than ten years.
Relying on a whole body of strength to break the iron chain, the iron chain is bound to be broken piece by piece, and the sound will definitely be extremely loud.
But even though the iron chain was broken right now, the iron shackles on her two wrists showed no signs of damage, and there were traces of sharp edges on the iron chain.
This is enough to prove that it was cut off artificially.
"Besides, if you are refined into a ghoul, if you don't master the fire properly, some of your original habits will remain." Tang Yi said in a flat tone.
He glanced at Zhang Qiuyan who was immobilized by the spirit lock.
And, the most important point is that ghouls obviously prefer to eat living things, including people, rather than meat, and they won't die without meat.
When they are hungry, they look for food, which of course refers to people.
"Originally, she could be reincarnated as a human being."
Zhou Chengxu's hands trembled, "What about now?"
Tang Yi said: "The ashes will be wiped out, and you will not be reborn."
What the young man said was very unreasonable, but it was true.Moreover, swallows are a huge hidden danger to the villagers, and once they bite someone, it is no small matter.
"Zhang Qiuyan is not a human being. After becoming a ghoul, she can no longer control what she does independently." She knew the man's mind clearly.
Nor is it his wife anymore.
Zhou Chengxu couldn't help crying when he heard the words. He and Zhang Qiuyan were torturing each other during the time in Xiangyue Village, but in fact she died long ago.
All that was left was a soulless corpse.
Tang Yi raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
