Liu Pingzhong shouted in surprise, "What? Did you guess where the guy hid his body?"
"Yes! Come with me!"
Liu Pingzhong followed Li Huaiyun to the Earth Temple at the end of the street. This temple was only about half a person's height. Inside, there was an earth statue made of earth, incense candles were lit, and some fruit tributes were placed.
In the dark environment, this earth statue looks a bit eerie.
In addition to incense candles, there is also a cauldron in front of the temple. It is filled with incense for worship.
Since today is relatively special, it is the birthday of the Emperor of Heaven in Taoism. People who believe in gods burn incense at their doorsteps to worship the Emperor of Heaven.
Therefore, in addition to this temple, believers in temples in many places burn incense and worship.
Li Huaiyun pointed at the temple and said, "Do you smell this special smell?"
Liu Pingzhong sniffed his nose, then shook his head, "It's a very ordinary scent! Is there anything special about it?"
"Don't smell it? Then smell this!" Li Huaiyun walked up and moved the cauldron full of incense away from it, "Smell it inside."
ah! Liu Pingzhong glanced at the gloomy clay statue in the temple, and leaned down reluctantly. When he brought his head close to the temple, he did smell a different fragrance. It seemed that he had smelled this smell before.
"Is it similar to the scent in Cai Dashi's study and bedroom? The scent is a little different from other incense."
Liu Pingzhong straightened up and frowned, "When you say that, it's true."
He pointed around, "But look around, the area near this temple is so small, how could the bodies of those brides be buried here?"
"As long as this incense can spread, there may be brides tortured to death buried in the area below."
Liu Pingzhong lowered his head and looked at his feet. The breeze blew through the street, and the thin sound he made seemed to be filled with the resentment of the dead bride.
He felt a hint of coldness, "You mean there are all those bones under this road?"
"Yes, I said that this street is controlled by a wealthy businessman like Cai Dashi. He is responsible for the construction of the street. It is naturally quite simple for him to bury the body here."
"This bastard really deserves death!"
Li Huaiyun walked to the back of the temple, "This kind of incense is what the abducted brides smelled before they were alive. They were also tortured to death under this smell."
"So the streets where they appear must also carry this fragrance."
Liu Pingzhong frowned, "They all died innocently and unjustly, how can they know this smell?"
"This may be a special obsession. The smell in this temple makes the brides buried underground even more stubborn. A lot of resentment continues to gather, which makes them gradually turn into ghosts and appear in the streets. Take human lives."
Li Huaiyun looked towards the other side of the river, "In addition, the bones are buried here, and this place is close to the river, and there are a lot of willow trees gathering shade, making these ghost brides even more unscrupulous."
"Then why these ghosts can always avoid the pursuit of the Demon Slayer Division? It's because the Yin Qi here is blocked by something!"
"That's true. Probably the bones buried underground contain the kind of jade carvings that shield the aura."
Based on the clues provided by Li Huaiyun, Liu Pingzhong began to carefully review the case that he had investigated for so long, and reorganized the entire case based on the previous clues found.
"Your speculation is correct. All the basic doubts of the case have been perfectly guessed."
He knew that those bones were buried under this street. Every time he stepped on the ground, he felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet. "We must quickly deal with all these ghosts, and then find someone to come here to clear away these long-standing grievances." "
"That's right! Now we have to deal with the ghosts in front of us first! They should be coming soon!"
When Liu Pingzhong heard this, his mind suddenly jumped. He looked around. The dark streets looked even more gloomy, and subtle footsteps rang in his ears.
He blinked hard, wondering why he felt so sleepy all of a sudden, but no matter how hard he held his eyelids open, he still couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Why am I so sleepy?"
Liu Pingzhong slapped himself hard, and the pain made him wake up a little, "What's going on? I really want to sleep!"
"Hold on, inhaling this smell will have serious side effects on the body."
"Don't you want to sleep?"
"Think! So, I have bitten my tongue!"
Liu Pingzhong slowly looked up and saw a trace of blood left at the corner of Li Huaiyun's mouth, so he followed suit and bit his tongue.
Li Huaiyun grabbed Liu Pingzhong's shoulders, and then shook his shoulders vigorously, "Those watchers were probably frightened to death in their dreams, so they looked like they died quite hideously."
"Ah! In a dream! Then we...!" Liu Pingzhong clenched his fists. The severe pain in his mouth temporarily prevented him from falling asleep. He took out the stylus and held it in his hand. This situation had indeed never happened to him before. There is actually the possibility of being invaded by ghosts. If you accidentally get caught, you may die in your dream.
Why! As the helmsman, I am not as alert as a low-level monster hunter.
"Since we can't fall asleep, those ghost brides shouldn't be able to do us any harm!"
"That's right, but they have become fierce ghosts and vow to kill people. Therefore, if we are not in the dream, we are also in danger. The only thing to be thankful for is that in reality, we have a chance. If we are in the dream, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for death!”
"You're right!" Liu Pingzhong immediately used a stylus to draw a golden bell around it. "This may be a little more resistant to the ghost brides."
"Luck, get the drug out of your body, otherwise, we will still be easily tricked."
The two of them calmed down, activated the zhenqi in their bodies, and dissipated the drug in their bodies.
After a while, a slight sound came from the dark street. Listening carefully, it was the footsteps, accompanied by the bursts of cold laughter, which suddenly made the two of them feel a special feeling in their hearts. chill.
The smell of the earth, accompanied by bursts of rotten smell, was constantly drifting towards them. As the footsteps got closer and closer, they saw the bright light in the distance of the street through the dim moonlight. wearing bright red clothes, walking slowly in the night.
Li Huaiyun and Liu Pingzhong stood still and looked at the approaching ghost bride.
A breeze blew through the gloomy street at this time, driving the bright red hijab, making the whole scene look particularly weird and terrifying.
Although they had already understood this scene, the gust of wind still made their backs feel cold and the hairs stood up when they blew gently.
At this time, a neat row of ghost brides appeared in the alley not far away, with slight smiles.
For a moment, Li Huaiyun himself began to become nervous. Although he was inside the golden bell, his safety was not guaranteed. Besides, these ghost brides had already turned into evil ghosts, and they were even more resentful, so it was up to them whether they could be dealt with.
His first thought was to find someone for help. His supreme fist was of little use against such a ghost.
Liu Pingzhong grabbed Li Huaiyun's arm, "Sure enough, it showed up! What should we do now?"
Li Huaiyun said, "The best way is to ask Sikyong, but you have to spend some energy to run out of here."
"Are we surrounded?"
"Yes, the reason why these ghost brides appeared must be because we went to the Earth Temple on the other side of the river and inhaled the fragrance, which made them surround us and target us."
Liu Pingzhong looked around, "Then how should we escape? Go and ask for reinforcements?"
"Fight! We can only fight hard first. After finishing the fight, maybe we can give you another chance."
The brides exposed their slender, sharp and black nails, which directly broke the golden bell cover they painted. Fortunately, Li Huaiyun punched with all his strength, bringing about the natural atmosphere around him, which bought Liu Pingzhong some time.
Liu Pingzhong controlled the stylus, and then began to draw quickly in the air. The ink seemed to have magic power and stayed in the air. As more and more strokes were made, the drawn things became clearer.
A Buddha statue with angry eyes and a shape similar to King Kong appeared in front of him, holding a staff in his hand, full of majesty.
A gentle tap of the staff on the ground would cause the surrounding ground to shake violently.
With such a powerful dharma image, it seems that dealing with those brides should not be a big problem! Li Huaiyun felt a little relieved. He had fought too many tough battles before and almost lost his life. This time he could finally lie down. He finally didn't have to work so hard. It felt pretty good to fight soy sauce and shout 666. of.
However, the golden bell cover of this painting was easily broken, which still made him startled, "Is it okay?".
Liu Pingzhong held the stylus tightly, his expression was not so relaxed and relaxed, and his spirit was relatively tense. Little did Li Huaiyun know that as the helmsman, he could not make any retreat, otherwise he would not be able to convince the crowd.
"It's not a big problem, just take your time and watch."
Li Huaiyun took two steps back and quietly admired the battle between Buddha and ghost. He felt in his heart that the only suspense was how long this Buddha statue could subdue all these ghost brides.
At this time, he sighed a little. There should be tables and stools with a circle of delicious food on them. In this way, one could enjoy and eat at the same time. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
However, just before he was happy, something seemed wrong about Liu Pingzhong, and the painted Buddha statue became slender and blurry, as if the painting on paper had been blown away by the wind.
"Ah!" Liu Pingzhong squatted down, with the stylus in his hand stuck on the ground as a support point. A large amount of blood poured out of his mouth, and his whole body was trembling.
Not far away, there were rows of ghost brides standing there, wearing red hijabs and big red phoenix robes. They let out sharp and vicious laughter, which made people tremble involuntarily.
Upon seeing this, Li Huaiyun immediately stepped forward and helped Liu Pingzhong up, "Master Liu, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say it's easy to deal with these ghost brides?"
Liu Pingzhong covered his head, "I don't know what's wrong, I can't concentrate, and there seems to be something wrong with my body."
He said in a weak voice, "Although I don't know clearly, I know it should be that these ghost brides have invaded my consciousness through sound and severely damaged your consciousness in the spiritual world. Once the spiritual world collapses, in reality, your The body will receive a huge backlash! It will also cause the body to overreact.”
"Ah! These evil ghosts actually have such powerful methods, so how should I deal with them? As a martial arts practitioner, what I worry about most is encountering such a situation!"
