Chapter 7: Headless Shadow
Since the incident with Chuntao, Lin Hai never asked a maid to come over to serve him. After asking Xiao An to pour a bowl of sobering soup and put it on the bedside, Lin Hai fell asleep.
I don't know if he drank too much, but Lin Hai always felt his ears buzzing, as if someone was whispering in his ears.
As Lin Hai gradually fell into sleep, this strange whisper not only did not subside, but the sound became clearer and louder. Lin Hai was extremely noisy by the sound, and he began to feel inexplicably irritable. At the same time, he also felt this way.
This sound feels familiar, like where have you heard it before?
But now Lin Hai's whole brain is about to be split apart by the noise. There is only evil in his heart, how can he still have reason?
Immediately, he sat up straight from the bed with a loud sound, and roared: "It disturbs people's dreams, can you have some quality and calm down for a while?!"
Following Lin Hai's roar, the ubiquitous whispers in his ears not only did not stop, but suddenly turned into a piercing scream as if they had found something!
Lin Hai subconsciously wanted to reach out and cover his ears, but as soon as he moved, he froze there.
Spring peach?!
The young and slightly immature face, the dull eyes and the smile that never faded from the corner of the mouth, isn't it the same Chuntao who died tragically in the bedroom that day?
No, that’s not right! She is not Chuntao!
After Mr. Liang characterized the case, he never found Chuntao's head. Lin Hai paid a carpenter to carve a head out of fragrant wood and buried it with Chuntao.
This thing, this monster with Chuntao's head on its head, is clearly the one that committed the murder in the bedroom that day!
Lin Hai stared at the monster whose head was obviously disproportionate to its body. After Lin Hai made a sound, the monster changed from standing on two feet to four on the ground, and quickly crawled towards him!
"Xiao An!"
When Lin Hai saw the monster charging towards him, he let out an angry roar, grabbed the quilt on his body and threw it over the monster who was staring at Chuntao's head.
He had only been practicing for a short period of time, and he didn't even have the most basic means of facing the enemy. He threw the quilt from the bed and planned to escape from the window.
As soon as Lin Hang stood up, he felt that the whole world was spinning. His feet felt weak involuntarily, and he fell on the bed involuntarily.
"Master, Master! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Xiao An's loud voice spread in the bedroom. It took a lot of effort for Lin Hai to open his eyes, which were glued together. What he saw was Xiao An's anxious face and the bright moonlight in the room. His racing heart finally calmed down a little.
a little.
It's okay, it's all a dream...
After a false alarm, Lin Hai fell weakly on the bed. Although the thrill just now lasted only a few breaths, Lin Hai seemed to have really survived from the edge of life and death, and his heart was still beating wildly.
"I had a nightmare, it was a bit real and it scared me."
Wiping the cold sweat on his face, Lin Hai took the hangover soup handed over by Xiao An and drank it all in one breath.
"It scared me too. I was sleeping when I suddenly heard you calling me. I ran over and saw you lying there gnashing your teeth. I thought you had some illness."
Xiao An smiled and took the empty bowl from Lin Hai and asked if he wanted to pour another bowl.
"No need, go to bed early, I will get up early tomorrow to practice."
Lin Hai lay on the bed. He didn't feel sleepy for a while. He pulled up the quilt and found something strange. He pulled up the whole quilt and was horrified to see that there were three sharp scratches on the blue quilt cover.
Most of the floc was pulled out!
Lin Hai sat up stiffly and silently from the bed, looking around the bedroom with alert and somewhat frightened eyes.
The nightmare just now clearly ended with Lin Hai throwing out the quilt to cover the headless monster.
Listening to the silence in Tao Pavilion, occasionally there is the sound of floating leaves in the bamboo forest. In the past, this sound was relaxing and comfortable. Now when you hear it, you just feel as if someone is whispering in your ear, which makes you shudder.
Mr. Liang clearly said that once such lonely ghosts vent their resentment, they will enter the underworld and reincarnate, but this one seems a little different!
Lin Hai felt uneasy, so he simply stood up and lit all the candles in the room. He felt a little safer in this room that was as bright as day. It was not far from dawn, and Lin Hai, who was not sleepy, simply started to stand in the room.
pile.
It stayed like this until dawn, and the remaining energy in Lin Hai's body was finally consumed by him. But now he didn't care so much. He hurriedly called Xiao An and went straight to the Kinmen Martial Arts Hall.
Unfortunately, Shang Yunfo actually returned to his hometown, and it would take at least five or six days to return.
Lin Hai, who had made a wasted trip, had no choice but to rush to the Zhenfusi Yamen to find Mr. Liang. The latter was also shocked after hearing his situation, and just sat there holding his beard and thinking in silence.
"Master Liang, I have no intention of blaming you at this point. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Lin Hai is relatively rational so far, which makes Master Liang feel very embarrassed. After all, he patted his chest and said there was no problem at the beginning, but now that Shang Yunfo is not here, the manpower is very tight.
"Well, I can use my personal relationship to find an innate master to come over for you, but that person is on a mission outside, and I can't guarantee whether he can come over before dark."
Lin Hai frowned when he heard this. It was a matter of life and death and he couldn't be careless. He knocked on the coffee table and asked, "Does such a big city of Youzhou not even have a ready-made innate master?"
Master Liang smiled bitterly: "You are offering a reward of 15,000 taels to yourself these days, but are there any innate masters coming to get the money? Of course there are masters, but there are more common people and counties under my rule in Youzhou, and I can't take care of them at all.
Come!"
Lin Hai began to feel uneasy. It seemed that there was a shortage of masters in this world. Thinking that he had just embarked on the path of spiritual practice, would he die in the hands of a ghost? He was too unwilling to do so:
"What about the true practitioners who have entered Taoism?"
"The true cultivators who have entered Taoism have always been like dragons in the human world. Even those who are incorporated into the imperial court are directly under the jurisdiction of Qintian Supervisor. Only when the local government cannot handle it can we ask them to take action. Now we are too late even to do so.
, the approval process alone takes a day.”
Every word of Master Liang seemed to disintegrate the hope in Lin Hai's heart. He suddenly grabbed the teacup on the coffee table, threw it to the ground, glared at Master Liang and said:
"There must be other ways. Your yamen has been guarding the world for many years and must have summed up many ways to deal with demons and ghosts. At this juncture, Mr. Liang, please stop hiding them. People will die!"
When Lin Hai said the last four words, he was almost roaring, because it took almost an entire morning just to run back and forth to find someone. If night falls today, Lin Hai doesn't know if the headless monster will directly
