This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

It was dark and windy.

In the open space in front of the main hall of the deserted temple, the seven corpses chanted a sentence repeatedly, without stopping or getting tired, as if they had to wait for an answer before shutting up.

Yan Buzhou turned to look at the headless statue in the temple. Before she climbed the mountain, she asked the villagers about the rumors of Jinding Mountain, and they all said that there were no beasts or weirdness on this mountain.

The deserted temple that popped up suddenly may have been hidden in the blind spot of ordinary people's vision, and the head of the god statue is gone, so there is no talk of boundless magic power to avenge people.

"We don't know the second Golden Crow. What kind of good did Lao Dao do before?"

Yan Buzhou hopes that Wuyan can tell Zichou Yinmao.She remembered that Mujiazong made wooden bodies for those whose bodies had been destroyed, and they would conduct in-depth investigations on those who came to ask for it.

Wu Yan shook his head without knowing the reason.Mujiazong has a set of immortal tools to identify meritorious deeds, which can roughly judge the sins of blessings and sins of those who come to ask for a body, but it cannot be specific to every trivial matter.

Besides, what happened in the Kunlun Realm can still be investigated, and it is impossible to investigate all the experience of a monk.

"One day in the sky, ten years in the human world. Lao Dao is a monster that ascended to the upper world. Calculated its time in the human world, it happened at least 2000 years ago. It must be known that the destruction of the physical body will have an impact on the soul. It has many things. I can't remember clearly, and most of what I have forgotten is my experience in the human world.

The reason why Lao Dao developed the habit of nagging was that he wanted to talk more, so as not to forget anything.It's just that no matter how much I talk about it, I haven't mentioned that it has ever been to Xiangxi. "

However, Wu Yan also felt that the Golden Crow Immortal must have something to do with Lao Dao, even if it wasn't Lao Dao's own bird, he had a close relationship with him.

The two did not continue to freeze at the entrance of the main hall, and walked out with candlesticks and lanterns.

The kneeling corpses in the open space did not see the passing living people from time to time, and continued to repeat the words of killing Hong Tian over and over again.

At this time, the setting sun should have been shining, but it turned into a dark night without light.

After the storm and thunderstorm, the seven dead men jumped into the deserted temple, knelt down and repeated in unison, pleading for revenge.

Yan Buzhou thought this scene was spooky at first, but after hearing it for a long time, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

These nonsense brought back some memories, I have never heard it before, "Xingxiu old fairy, the law drives the Central Plains."The supernatural power is vast and the mana is boundless. '

From this point of view, the exaggerated petition chanting chanted by the seven dead people is [-]% consistent with the image of Lao Dao.

Is there anything funny right now?

Wu Yan didn't ask any more questions, he was already used to the abnormalities of each monk, so he carefully checked the deserted temple.

I saw it in the rain just now, but now I can see that both the side hall and the apse are in ruins, and there are no plaques, inscriptions and other records that can indicate the origin of the deserted temple.

What makes people extremely helpless is that when the two walked out of the gate of the barren temple, the source of their origin was completely gone.

It was pitch black outside, and the lights of the lanterns and candlesticks seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness in an instant.It seems that if you take a few more steps, you will sink into the gap in the void, and you will never be able to return to the human world.

"This place is like a gap between yin and yang. It's hard to tell the reality of the desolate temple. If you want to find the way, I'm afraid there is only one way."

Wu Yan did not continue to move forward rashly, instead of rushing into the darkness unsurely, he should follow his wish and respond to the request of the Great Immortal Jinwu.

Yan Buzhou understands the need to respond to the petition of the seven dead bodies, which is probably the original intention of the deserted temple to attract the two.

As for whether this matter is the subjective wish of the Golden Crow Immortal, or due to some kind of favorable timing and location, which will passively trigger the reappearance of the deserted temple after thousands of years, those can be discussed later.

Not annoyed, the two responded to the petition, reconfirmed that there were no other clues left in the deserted temple, and agreed to investigate Hong Tian's murder case in front of the decapitated statue.As for whether to kill Hong Tian, ​​it must be investigated before it can be done.

Strange to say, as soon as the two promised, the gloomy sky turned out to be more than half bright.

Looking at the seven kneeling corpses, they seemed to have exhausted all their support, and they all fell to the ground on their backs, and a few dead strange insects fell out of their ears.

Except for the lack of wings, the few strange insects look exactly like the legless centipedes in the ancient tombs of Yin and Shang sacrifices.

"Gu art?" Yan Buzhou thought about his previous guess, and the high priest summoned a fiery monster.

The so-called mutual generation and mutual restraint.Even though the strange name of voodoo is spread all over Xiangxi, it also has the art of restraining each other.

It is natural for birds to eat insects. Are these dead people victimized by Gu techniques?To pray to the Great Immortal of the Golden Crow is to ask one thing to overcome one thing, so as to eliminate the Gu on the body?

Yan Buzhou caressed the seven corpses in the air, and then used the power of the virtual mirror to remove the strange aura from the corpses, making sure that there was no more aura like the strange insects on them.

On the other side, Wu Yan picked up a few bugs, observed carefully and said with certainty, "The aura that kills strange bugs is eighty percent similar to Lao Dao's monster aura."

Regardless of monsters, ghosts, and monsters, each has its own special atmosphere.

Wu Yan reshaped the wooden bird body for the old knife, and he was very familiar with its evil spirit, so he was only two points in doubt about this.

When a monk's physical body is destroyed, his soul is also damaged. Even if he has the chance to do ghost cultivation and obtain a new wooden armor body, his aura will not be exactly the same as before.

"It's probably quite a lot. Now it can basically be presumed that Lao Dao was the Golden Crow Immortal for a while before he ascended to Kunlun Street."

Yan Buzhou thought about the disappearance of Lao Dao and Bi Huanhuan.If the Golden Crow Great Immortal once shook the demon world in western Hunan, and the two bird demons were hard to find, then not only the fiery monsters were summoned, but they might have volunteered to do something important.

Wu Yan also thought of this possibility, and became worried in a rare way.

Bi Huanhuan has a criminal record, and he could lose his consignment identity document by accident, and an accidental encounter caused Bu to explode and die.

This time, Xiangxi's aura will change, and the two bird monsters will not want to do good things, but they will be stabbed into a big basket.

The two glanced at each other, and swallowed the words again, neither of them wanted to be careless again.

"Enter Dingzhou City first."

Wu Yan took out a simple wooden cart.When I helped Yan Buzhou make a special carriage before, I used the leftover wood to make this thing, but I didn't expect it to be really useful.

The two carried the seven corpses into the car. It is hard to judge how long these people have been dead. At present, they all appear to have died not long ago.

The corpses were not decomposed, and it was not difficult to see the scars on the corpses of the six women and one man, very similar to those left after being raped, but a detailed autopsy still needs to be done.

This will push the corpses away from the deserted temple. The sky outside turned from cloudy to sunny, and after a few breaths, it returned to normal slanting sun and sunset.

After the heavy rain, the moisture in the air has not dissipated, and the dirt road is muddy, which obviously adds a little inconvenience to the cart.

However, the two didn't feel troubled at all, and compared the detailed atlas.

It is confirmed that this place is not far from the official road into Dingzhou, and it saves a long journey down the mountain from the middle of the mountain.

At this time, there was a crash sound behind him.

Looking back suddenly, the barren temple shattered into golden light and fell into the setting sun, and there seemed to be the sound of birds singing in the afterglow.

Yan Buzhou vaguely felt that this sound was not like a normal bird call, but that it was not angry and self-imposing, so he asked Wuyan, "Did it say something?"

"Hundred-legged Gu, dead but not stiff."

Wu Yan listened to the demon's words and warned Yu Feng, "You also saw that the head of the statue was cut off by a sharp object. It seems that after the Golden Crow left the world, its enemies or enemies later destroyed the temple. Ninety percent of them are centipedes. Gu made it."

From the densely packed strange insects in the tombs of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, to the strange insects seen today are all legless, so how powerful will the Centipede Gu be?

Speaking of the all-pervasive Gu insects, the most troublesome thing about entering Xiangxi is that there is no good medicine to resist the Gu poison.Flying insects are hard to defend against, and when they are not guaranteed, they will be caught.

At the moment, being warned by the Golden Crow Great Immortal Yu Wei that there are Gu worms that are dead but not stiff, it seems that something is going on in the depths of the Wuling Mountains.

He casually said without saying anything, "I remember that the master is not a vegetarian for three meals. Before going down to the world, can you bring some dried meat to reminisce about the taste of hometown? Ask, is there any jerky meat from the nine-tailed fox?"

"On the mountain of Qingqiu, there is a beast. Its shape is like a fox with nine tails. Its voice is like a baby. It can eat people, and those who eat it don't have gu."

Sometimes, the Book of Mountains and Seas is as good as a guide to eating monsters.

It is vaguely written that the nine-tailed fox utters a baby cry, traps and kills human beings and eats human flesh.Conversely, humans can also hunt and kill it, and fox meat can make people invincible.

Wu Yan almost stepped into the mud when he heard the words, "Sir, you think highly of the poor monk. The fox with nine tails in Qingqiu can be the demon king. The poor monk has a kind heart, how can you ask him to cut out a few taels of meat for a taste.

If you are interested, sir, you might as well look forward to meeting him in the future, and ask yourself at what price you can get a tael of fox meat. "

Hearing these words, Bu Zhou smiled coyly, "I made a slip of the tongue, sitting in a well and watching the sky do not understand the situation above, forget all the wishful thinking."

Wu Yan silently recited a few Buddha's mantras, and then mentioned that Bi Huanhuan left him a branch of kangmu before he entered Xiangxi.

"The mountain of Fuxi has a tree Yan, the leaf shape is like a scorpion and the red fruit is called Kangmu, and it does not feed on it."

The leaves of this plant are like Ailanthus sinensis, if you eat the red fruit it bears, it will also have the miraculous effect of being invulnerable to all kinds of gu.

"It's a pity that it's a piece of residual wood. The medicinal effect can't be compared with the red fruit, but it can resist [-]% of the Gu poison after being refined and worn close to the body."

Wu Yan felt that [-]% of the medicinal effect was not low, so he invited Yan Buzhou, "When we enter the city, please ask Ah Yan to help me refine Kangmu together. We must be fully prepared before entering the Wuling Mountains."

"That's a duty." Yan Buzhou raised his head to look at the setting sun, not just like a runny egg that attracted people's mouth watering.

In the past month, she hasn't eaten a few decent meals.Otherwise, when it comes to eating non-eating Gu, the first thing that comes to mind is not the red fruit, but the meat of the nine-tailed fox.

Dingzhou City

Zhan Zhao first went to Dingming Temple to check the five corpses stored there.To his surprise and host Puhui's surprise, the head of the long-dead corpse had a sudden change.

At that time, the eyelids of the five corpses twitched suddenly, and suddenly five strange insects burst out of their eyes, just like the four-winged legless centipede in the tomb of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

The strange insects didn't attack the living people directly, they seemed to be dying, when they sensed the danger and wanted to fly away.

With the sword up and down, Zhan Zhao hacked to death five strange insects, and burned their bodies on fire just to be on the safe side.

He couldn't help wondering, did the strange insects break out of their corpses and escape because they sensed that the giant queer had killed their own kind?

If this is the case, the monster's perception of breath is too sensitive.Fortunately, no strange insects have been found on the body of the female body in the back alley of the brothel.

Three days ago, near the Dingshui River outside the city, the murdered female body was found in a brothel and prostitution gathering place.

It was soon ascertained the identity of the deceased. It was the young lady who had just bought into the building. She must have been murdered on the way to escape.

Tao Yao believes that the situation this time is different from the five dead people who appeared strangely at the foot of Shenji Mountain.

His feeling really came true, the five people in Shenji Mountain were infected by Gu, but the new victim was not.

However, Tao Yao couldn't be happy at all, and her complexion became even worse.

This is after listening to Zhan Zhao's suggestion, he ordered the county under Zhixia to conduct a thorough search to see if there were any abandoned corpses in the wilderness.

However, the good ones, the bad ones, really received the official documents reported by the two counties.In the wilderness of the two counties, two more female corpses were found raped and murdered.

Judging from the results of the autopsy, the two victims died within a month, roughly ten days and a half months apart, and their injuries were the same as those of the female corpse in the back alley of the brothel.

Tao Yao looked at the map. The three deceased were found scattered at three points, and the first to die was in the county farthest from Dingzhou City.

"This murderer only picked out beautiful young women, and the police found the residual fragrance in the back alley of the brothel. I was afraid that he was lurking in Dingzhou. This is really a dark cloud that threatens to destroy the city."

Who will be the murderer?

Zhan Zhao saw the residue of Mixiang, and suggested that the possibility of imitating the murder must be considered. The murderer did not know how to use Mixiang.

Hearing Tao Yao's worrying words, Zhan Zhao was even more worried that his words were inappropriate. Neither she nor Zhu Ming could come as promised.At any rate, Zhu Ming asked someone to deliver the letter, so don't encounter someone with a ulterior motive in the middle of the journey.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Before Tao Yao continued to worry about how to confirm the trace of the perverted murderer, the guards informed that someone from outside the government office came to deliver the corpse.

At this stall, Tao Yao was most afraid of hearing another corpse appear, but he couldn't help but suffer.

Who told me that there is a saying that the official rank crushes people to death.Zhan Zhao had already said that there would be two people coming to look for him, one was the owner of the antique dealer who would help him out of righteousness, and the other was someone from the big house who would come to assist in the investigation.

Zhan Zhao heard the guard announce his surname, and was thinking that Yan Buzhou might have come with Zhu Ming by chance, just now he hurried to the side door of the government office, he really didn't expect to see that long-lost reflective head.

"Master, don't come to Wuyan." Zhan Zhao smiled like a reunion after a long absence, as if he was very welcome to see Wuyan here, as if he could have another reliable helper.

However, Zhan Zhao walked to the carriage without much greetings, and quickly and seriously looked at Yan Buzhou, "I'm a day late, are you okay?"

"It's them who have something to do, take it to the morgue first."

Yan Buzhou pointed to the ox cart, thanks to Wuyan's cleansing talisman, there was no smell of corpses wafting out. "Let's go, I have to pay a visit to Tao Zhizhou first. Now let's talk about everything we know so far."

Had to sit down and talk about it in detail.

For example, two different groups of perpetrators used Gu and Mixiang respectively.Also, is it the name of an organization or a person that the deceased requested to kill Hong Tian?

This said, from dinner to the end of Haishi.

Yan Buzhou lived in the small courtyard rented by Zhan Zhao earlier, and when she heard in Tao Yao's study that there might be imitation perpetrators, she and Wu Yan couldn't help but feel worried.

The two of them dragged the ox cart to transport the corpse into the city, halfway they felt the sense of being stared at, which had disappeared for a while, but they failed to find each other's figure.It's really not the intention to do anything bad, could that line of sight come from imitating the assailant?

'Knock knock—'

Zhan Zhao paced back and forth at the door a few times, and finally knocked on the door. "Ayan, it's me. Would you like to say something?"

"Isn't all serious matters finished in the magistrate's mansion."

He said that the door was unlocked and he just walked in, "It's almost midnight, why not talk about it at night?"

As soon as Zhan Zhao stepped inside, he closed the door with his backhand.Looking around the room, he made sure the windows were closed, and then he asked with a straight face: "When the meeting just ended, Tao Yao almost made it clear that what kind of person the imitation perpetrator chooses to commit the crime, three characteristics: Not long after arriving in Xiangxi , Young and beautiful, woman. I saw that you and Wu Yan had a strange expression just now, did you notice something unusual on the way into the city?"

Yan Buzhou nodded without hiding anything, "I wanted to wait until tomorrow, but you asked quickly. Although I felt it for a moment, it was nothing. I shouldn't be so unlucky that I was targeted as soon as I entered the city. Do I think Are you so easy to bully?"

Zhan Zhao admitted that he didn't know what to say, and his face was a little bit bad, "Whether there is a shadow or not, you should take precautions before it happens. Since you have felt abnormal, you still have to close the door properly."

"I didn't want to keep the door open for the jealous cat." Yan Buzhou lifted his chin slightly and smiled, indicating to Zhan Zhao that he really came here.

Zhan Zhao's eyes were slightly lowered by the smile, who is the jealous cat?It's good for Wu Yanneng and Yan Buzhou to meet by chance, and one more person to take care of them will provide more security.And he would not be jealous at all for the fateful meeting between the two of them.

"Okay, I will keep Master Zhan's words in mind, close the door and pay attention to safety."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes and remained silent, so this is a special reminder to her? "Is there anything else you want to ask? Or, do you think this is not safe enough? Do you still want to try personal protection?"

This was meant as a joke, but Zhan Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at the softness on one side, and he proposed it seriously.

"Xiangxi is full of dangers, and Mixiang and other low-level methods are even more difficult to guard against. A room away, if something happens, I'm afraid I won't come in time. Zhou Zhou, can I stay? Just borrow a couch and lie down."
