The bright moon poked its head out from the dark clouds, and within a ray of sky, tranquility and brightness were restored again.
Sun Youcai exhaled heavily and said respectfully to one of the corpses: "Mr. Ishida, I have helped you kill them, and you can see my loyalty to you."
"Kaka——"
After a strange noise, a corpse suddenly split open, and an old man with a withered face emerged from it. The split corpse fell to the ground softly like rags.
It is Ishida Ghost.
This place is called Lar Mountain, thousands of miles away from the northeastern boundary. Xu Ping never thought that he would leave the northeastern boundary and come here so quickly.
Of course, if Sun Youcai, who was not from the witchcraft sect, would have disguised it as a corpse, he would not have concealed it from others.
Ishida Ghost looked much more embarrassed at this time than when he was in Qicheng, and he kept coughing when he spoke: "Ahem...Thank you, Mr. Sun. Don't worry, as a friend of Japan, you will definitely get the best treatment."
treatment."
At this moment, Ishida Ghost could only rely on Sun Youcai, who secretly caught him and instigated rebellion while in Qi City, and promised him huge profits.
When Sun Youcai heard this, he felt a little excited.
Originally, he entered the witchcraft sect because he wanted to gain fame and fortune after practicing.
Now he can regard the old man in front of him as a cash cow.
"Mr. Ishida, there is an inn ahead. Why not stay there temporarily? I will take the body into the town first and find a good place for you to rest." Sun Youcai looked at the old man in front of him and said softly.
"Ahem...thank you, Mr. Sun."
Ishida Ghost coughed twice, took out two gold bars, and said, "Mr. Sun, take this first. After I contact my entourage, I will definitely give you more in return, Mr. Sun."
"You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Sun Youcai refused with a smile, but he had already taken the gold bar, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and then stuffed it into his arms with joy, and left Xiantian with him and several corpses.
Zidong Inn.
Located outside Leigong Town, because it is close to the main road, there are not a few businessmen who usually travel, so the business is very good.
But things are different now.
There were wars everywhere, and business people did not dare to travel long distances. Therefore, the business of this inn gradually became bleak.
So late at night, with the lights still on in front of the inn door, Sun Youcai walked into the courtyard with the body, and then walked into the inn hall alone.
"Shopkeeper, I want to stay at the hotel."
The arrival of a customer so late at night startled the old shopkeeper who was dozing behind the counter.
"Hey, sir, you've had a hard time traveling so late at night. How many of you are there?"
Although his sweet dream was interrupted, the old shopkeeper still greeted him with a smile, picked up the hot tea on the stove, and leaned over.
Because it costs extra money for the shop assistants to stay up late, so on weekdays, the old shopkeeper stays up late at night.
But he was basically dozing off, and no guests would come late at night. When he met one this time, he seemed very happy.
Sun Youcai took the hot tea, took a sip to warm himself, smiled and pointed to the yard outside the door, saying: "I am the only living person, there are quite a few dead people."
The old shopkeeper looked out the door and was startled...
With the help of the two weak lanterns outside the door and the bright moon in the night sky, I saw a row of figures standing in the yard, all with their heads lowered and their bodies lifeless, which was extremely strange.
After all, the old shopkeeper ran an inn. When he was young, he also traveled all over the country for many years. He calmed down a little and asked: "Sir, you are so young, but you are also eating from the underworld?"
In this area, it is not a secret to chase corpses. The old shopkeeper has seen it before, so he is not too afraid.
Sun Youcai drank hot tea and smiled: "Shopkeeper, please don't ask me. Give me a room and bring me good wine and hot dishes. As for them, just give me a woodshed."
As he said that, he threw a few pieces of ocean and put them on the table.
Carrying two large yellow croakers in his body, he finally experienced the feeling of generously throwing money away.
"Well done, sir."
The old shopkeeper happily put away the ocean and went to the backyard to tell the cook to get up.
Sun Youcai walked to the yard, pretended to check his appearance, and whispered to Ishida Ghost: "Mr. Ishida, in this special period, in order to avoid being discovered, I can only wrong you first."
"No problem!"
Ishida Ghost's hoarse voice sounded, and he closed his eyes and concentrated. His whole body was full of deathly energy, and he looked more like a dead person.
After taking the body to the firewood shed arranged by the shopkeeper, Sun Youcai returned to his room, sipping wine and food, feeling very happy. After a while, he was drunk and couldn't sleep.
Gradually, Zidong Inn became calm again, and the snoring of the old shopkeeper sounded again in the hall.
At this moment, a melodious flute sound suddenly sounded outside the inn, accompanied by the night wind, as if a female ghost was crying in a low voice.
No one in the inn paid attention, even Sun Youcai was sound asleep, but Ishida Ghost in the woodshed suddenly opened his eyes, with fear in his pupils.
Just because the body standing next to him seemed to be awakened when the low voice came, he pushed open the door of the woodshed and walked outside.
Ishida Ghost looked horrified.
He clearly noticed that the Gu insects used by Sun Youcai to control these corpses all died suddenly when the low voice sounded.
Ishida Ghost was extremely shocked as he watched these corpses walk out of the inn and merge into the darkness. After pondering for a moment, he followed them.
…
The night was dark, and the snoring of the old shopkeeper echoed in the inn lobby.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far away, and a person walked slowly from a distance. He looked up at the inn in front of him, frowned, and walked directly in.
"The shopkeeper's, the shopkeeper's."
The old shopkeeper, who had been disturbed in the first half of the night, fell asleep not long ago. Unexpectedly, another person came in the second half of the night. He stood up helplessly, picked up the teapot and came out, still smiling.
"Sir, do you want to stay at the hotel?"
While the old shopkeeper was talking, he looked outside and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was there.
But suddenly he seemed to remember something. He looked at the figure in front of him and saw a long shadow on the ground. He felt relieved and poured a cup of hot tea.
The visitor had been paying attention to his changes, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be startled, and said a little funny: "I said shopkeeper, what are you looking at when you look left and right?"
The old shopkeeper smiled awkwardly: "The guest officer is laughing."...
The man who came into the inn was none other than Xu Ping.
After returning from Changbai Mountain, while searching for the Ninjas in the city, he accidentally got the news that Sun Youcai of the Wu Gu Cult had been captured by the Ninjas and was instigated to rebel.
And just happened to hear other practitioners say that several people from the Witch Gu Sect took several corpses with them when they left. The more Xu Ping thought about it, the more he felt there was something wrong, so he hurried on and chased them this way.
Xu Ping took a look at the inn and asked with a smile: "Honor, I want to ask you something..."
The old shopkeeper didn't wait for him to finish, and said directly: "I don't know anything. If you don't want to stay in the hotel, leave quickly."
Xu Ping didn't say anything. He took out a small yellow croaker from the bottomless pit and waved it in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and all his sleepiness ran away. He stretched out his hand to grab it, but Xu Ping dodged it.
He suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly: "Sir, if you have anything to ask, feel free to ask, I am the one who specializes in asking questions in this area."
"I just want to ask you if a group of people with several corpses has passed by here in the past two days." Xu Ping asked softly.
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he turned around involuntarily and glanced towards the backyard with a vague look in his eyes.
Xu Ping also followed his gaze and suddenly noticed that there was still a faint aura of death coming out of the backyard.
As an old shopkeeper who has been in business for many years, he knew that he could not betray his customers, but looking at the little yellow croaker in front of him, he really couldn't help it.
Giving too much.
"To be honest, in the middle of the night, a young man stayed in the shop with several corpses. The bodies were in the woodshed, and the young man was living in the shop at this time."
When Xu Ping heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he ran towards the backyard.
He guessed that the Ishida ghost was probably hiding inside the corpse, which could perfectly avoid the attention of all practitioners.
When the old shopkeeper saw the little yellow croaker running away, he immediately chased after him. His body's reaction speed was much faster than usual.
But when he came to the backyard, he found that the door of the woodshed was wide open. He suddenly looked horrified and murmured: "It's a corpse scam, it's a corpse scam."
Xu Ping ignored his crazy words and rushed over to enter the woodshed. He was shocked to find that apart from the debris, there was no one in the woodshed, and there was only a faint aura of death lingering there.
He turned back in shock and looked at the shopkeeper, "Where is the body?"
The old shopkeeper stopped shouting and shook his head like a rattle: "I don't know, I don't know anything."
"Where is that young man now?"
Xu Ping didn't bother to talk nonsense to him and directly threw the small yellow croaker in his hand to him.
The shopkeeper said without hesitation: "Room A3."
The words just fell.
A gust of wind blew up out of thin air in the yard, and the figure in front of him disappeared instantly. After being stunned for a second, he immediately ran back to his room, hid under the quilt, and shivered while holding the little yellow croaker.
Xu Ping came to Room A3 and heard the snoring coming from inside. He pinched his hands and saw the surrounding space fluctuate before he entered the room.
There were leftovers on the table, and there was a young man lying sprawled out on the bed, his whole body smelling of wine.
Xu Ping didn't hesitate at all. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. A blue palm stretched out from his palm and covered his head. All the scenes when he left Qicheng were shown in front of his eyes like a horse racing through flowers...
When the final scene was fixed in this room, Xu Ping frowned.
Why do the corpses in the woodshed, which were fine, suddenly disappear?
Could it be that Ghost Ishida secretly manipulated the corpse to leave?
Xu Ping felt that this possibility was unlikely. He was unfamiliar with the place. He needed a place to cultivate and refine the divine power in Yamata no Orochi. He would definitely not kill the person in front of him for the time being.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Ping checked Sun Youcai's memories again, including the erotic dreams he had when he was sleeping soundly.
But this time, he clearly captured that in the dream, there was an extremely discordant flute sound, and after hearing the flute sound, he immediately identified that this was the manipulating Gu insects and people in the Miao territory.
Corpse Spell.
After discovering this, Xu Ping crushed the man's soul and let him die painlessly in his sleep.
He walked into the woodshed again, guided the remaining dead energy, breathed it into his mouth and nose, and refined it. He could somehow sense the location of the corpses.
After thinking for a while, he plunged into the darkness without hesitation.
As he galloped along, he discovered two sets of footprints. The footprints in the front were very messy and were obviously left by multiple people, while the footprints in the back were made by only one person.
Perhaps Ishida Ghost also heard the sound of the flute, was attracted to it, and planned to follow it to have a look.
The more Xu Ping thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, so he followed the footprints, left the plain, and slowly entered the mountain forest.
Howling wind and howling wolves sounded from time to time in the mountains and forests. Xu Ping followed the footprints all the way, but found that the footprints disappeared in front of a wide river.
under the moonlight,
The broad river was sparkling with water, and the sound of rushing rapids could be heard endlessly. Xu Ping could no longer find the footprints and could only guess in his mind.
Was the body thrown into the river or crossed the river?
According to common sense, it is impossible for the corpses to be manipulated by the flute to jump into the river, but how could the corpses cross the river?
Xu Ping sensed the refined death energy again. Although it was very thin, he still clearly sensed that the death energy was on the other side of the river.
Not thinking about this complicated problem, Xu Ping jumped across the river and continued to explore according to the direction he perceived.
The aura of death was getting thinner and thinner. After walking for less than half an hour, it was almost dawn and the aura of death was gone, but Xu Ping still found nothing.
What is hidden in the mountains and where does the sound of the flute come from? Xu Ping cannot figure it out on his own.
The mountains and forests became more and more lush as we walked, and in some places there were no roads at all.
Like a headless fly, searching in the mountains and forests is to no avail.
Looking from a distance, not far from the foot of the mountain, there was a small town with lights on. Xu Ping decided to go down the mountain first and go to the town to inquire about it.
Maybe someone in the town can know what is so strange about this mountain and where the sound of the flute comes from.
…
The next day.
so easy.
Xu Ping entered this town when it was getting dark and learned that it was called Leigong Town.
The people living in the town are all Miao people.
After looking for the Chenghuang Temple but not finding it, Xu Ping found a random inn and stayed there.
The town still retains its simple folk customs, with the clan as the leader and no official government.
Early in the morning, Xu Ping inquired about the most famous teahouse in the town.
The teahouse is full of people, and a place like this is the best place to inquire about news.
In front of the storyteller in the teahouse, a large number of people gathered, either holding tea or porridge, or holding cigarette sticks in their mouths, telling a story to start a beautiful day.
Shake the fan in front of others, wake up and bang the wood on the table.
"The book continues from the previous chapter. It is said that a thousand years ago, the Shushan Sword Immortal rescued a stunning woman from the hands of bandits in the Western Regions."
"Do you know who this woman is?"
As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, he was interrupted by a group of people laughing.
"I've heard the story of the fox demon hundreds of times and I still come here."
