The old witch couldn't speak when she was practicing, and even with her eyes closed, she couldn't see outside, only darkness.
This time, there seems to be no difference between staying in the consciousness space and staying in the magical artifact.
Shen Yi wanted to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep without feeling sleepy. He could only float back and forth like a balloon in this strange space full of twisted lines. As time went by, he involuntarily began to digest the red gas, which was fast. It's become a habit.
So accidentally, the red energy of three units was gone.
After checking it again, Shen Yi felt speechless.
How can I put it, there are some things that you can never spend if you don’t care about them.
But once you pay attention to it, it is like running water, and a lot of it evaporates without paying attention.
It seems like time has passed. In the blink of an eye, I have lived in this world for more than half a year.
Well, there is no chance of relying on this little popularity to support the Zhu family.
You can guard against others, but you cannot guard against yourself.
…
The second night came quickly. Du Daniu walked out of the room with a lantern. Facing the night, he was still a little scared, but compared to last night, he was much bolder and did not forcefully follow Tsurumi Chuyun. , I felt very comfortable patrolling the village.
Tsurumi Chuyun himself walked around the village just like yesterday, and then left the village to see if there were any traces of evil spirits outside, but unfortunately, he still found nothing.
I just saw a dozen graves without tombstones.
She wanted to go further afield to take a look, but because of Du Daniu, she didn't choose to do so because she was afraid something would happen to him if she went far away, and she would be too late to come back.
She and Shen Yi spent the whole night chatting, including guessing what kind of evil spirit was causing harm to Caizi Village. However, Tsurumi Chuyun had lived in Yunqiu City or Qingyuan Sect almost all his life. Those places basically No evil spirit dared to come close, so she only encountered evil spirits a handful of times, and she didn't know much about them.
The second night passed quickly, and during the day, Du Daniu was still fine and in high spirits.
On the third night, he completely let himself go. Not only did he dare to walk in the village at midnight, he even took a stroll outside the village.
On the fourth night, Du Daniu even walked around with the gong and played the gong, acting as the watchman.
Four days passed, and not even the evil fur was seen.
The people in the village didn't treat He Jian Chuyun badly. They killed pigs and sheep every day and had plenty of fish and meat, which indirectly made Shen Yi feel good.
But what must come will still come.
On the fifth night, because he had not gained anything for four consecutive nights, Tsurumi Chuyun simply stopped going out and just lay on the couch and reviewed the contents of the Little Alchemy Sutra.
On the other side, Du Daniu came to the door of his cousin's house as usual. He leaned over and crawled in front of the door and listened to something, but unfortunately there was no sound inside. He couldn't help but be a little confused. When he passed by here two nights ago, He would hear the loud noises made by his cousin and his wife while they were having sex, and then he would yell loudly to scare them both.
For some reason today, there was no sound at all, but that didn't stop him from wanting to play tricks on people.
clang!
He suddenly hit the gong in his hand hard, and with the frightened screams of women and the cries of children, the place became a mess.
"Du Daniu! You are looking for death!"
The woman's screams quickly turned into angry shouts, followed closely by the robber's voice.
Sensing something was wrong, Du Daniu hurried away, with a satisfied look on his face, shouting: "You're just kidding, you're kidding!"
Yes~
The door of the house was opened, and a woman walked out with an angry face and a hatchet in her hand. She wanted to chase him, but after watching Du Daniu's figure disappear into the darkness, she still couldn't control the fear in her heart. , returned to the house and closed the door heavily.
boom!
When Du Daniu ran away and saw that no one was catching up, he said disdainfully: "What a coward." After saying that, with a proud smile on his face, he shook his head and walked forward.
But just before he reached a fork in the road, what he saw made him stop.
Under the corner of the wall in the distance, a black shadow was moving. He couldn't see it very clearly. He moved closer to see it clearly, but still couldn't understand it, so he asked aloud: "Who is it?"
As soon as the sound came out, the black figure paused and turned around suddenly, and Du Daniu was also stunned.
…
"not good!"
At the same time, He saw that the small alchemy sutra in Chuyun's hand had disappeared, and he suddenly stood up from the couch, opened the door and walked out.
"What's wrong?"
"Then something happened to Du Daniu."
When she asked Du Daniu to use him as bait, she gave him a piece of bright jade and quickly crushed it when she saw something was wrong so that she could be notified in time.
But considering that Du Daniu was just an ordinary person, she was afraid that he would not be able to react if something happened, so she made two preparations and put a talisman on him. Now that the jade talisman has not been crushed, the talisman is An abnormality came from the side.
As soon as she went out, a crystal clear glass ball appeared in her hand. The light lit up from inside the glass ball, illuminating her surroundings. Feeling the information fed back from the talisman paper, she quickly moved in the direction of Du Daniu. Running away.
The other party was not far from her, and she soon found him in the open space in the center of the village.
Seeing He Jian Chuyun, Du Daniu's face was happy and he hurried forward, but he didn't notice the cold look on her face.
As soon as he got close, his eyes blurred, his feet felt sharp pain, and he fell to the ground the next second.
When he came back to his senses, he saw the cold sword edge touching his neck.
"Zhuang...Miss Zhuang, what are you doing?" He looked into the other person's eyes, and the coldness in those eyes made him scared at the time.
He wanted to get up, but he could barely stand up, and the sharp sword tip pierced into his skin. The pain was transmitted to his nerves, and Du Daniu did not dare to move.
"What did you do to him?" He Jian Chuyun shouted coldly. Du Daniu in front of him was stunned by this sound, and his face was full of doubts: "Miss Zhuang, what are you talking about?"
"You still want to pretend to be stupid?"
"I...I didn't do anything! Miss Zhuang!" The confusion on his face turned into confusion, and then quickly turned from confusion into panic. Seeing that "Zhuang Luan" in front of him didn't believe it, he continued to explain in a trembling voice: "I really didn't do anything! Miss Zhuang, believe me!"
"No, no, no, don't be impulsive! I'm Du Daniu!"
"Do not kill me!"
"I beg you!"
Voices begging for mercy echoed in the night sky one after another. People in the surrounding houses opened their windows and looked over cautiously.
He Jian Chuyun, who was holding a sword in his hand, frowned and looked directly into Du Daniu's eyes, somewhat confused about the situation.
"Lie down and don't move."
"Yes, yes, I won't move, just don't kill me." Du Daniu raised his hands and lay down flat.
Soon, Tsurumi Chuyun squatted down, brought the shining glass ball closer, and opened the other person's eyelids to look at it carefully.
After more than ten seconds, she stood up.
Du Daniu was still the same Du Daniu, and nothing happened to him.
"Get up."
"Oh oh oh." Hearing this, Du Daniu didn't dare to be vague at all. He got up from the ground in a panic. After patting the dust on his body, he was a little shocked.
"Miss Zhuang, what happened?"
"Did something happen to you just now?"
"No."
Tsurumi Chuyun circled around and looked at him.
"But why is the talisman behind your back missing?"
"talisman? What talisman?" Du Daniu touched his back, but found nothing. He didn't remember that Tsurumi Chuyun had put talismans on him, but he soon remembered something and said quickly: " Oh, by the way, I was scared by someone just now at the fork in the road."
"Scared... who?"
"It's Du Xiaogang, he's pretending to be a ghost to scare me."
"Who is Du Xiaogang?"
"He's my cousin, and his family lives over there."
"Why did he scare you? Didn't I already remind everyone to hide at home and not come out at night?"
"..." Du Daniu was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
How can you tell others such things?
Moreover, there is still a yellow-flowered girl in front of her.
Tsurumi Chuyun looked at him with calm eyes, and finally exhaled a breath and walked forward. He quickly picked up a piece of talisman paper that fell on the ground in the distance and put it on Du Daniu's back again. He said: "Don't mess around anymore. Whether you can get rid of the evil spirits in your village depends on you."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"If anything happens, crush Mingyu."
"Don't worry, Miss Zhuang."
Glancing at him, He saw that Chuyun was too lazy to say anything, so he turned around and walked towards the house, but not long after, Shen Yi's voice rang in his mind.
"Old witch."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Something weird."
"What's weird?"
"I counted the day before yesterday. There are ninety-seven people in this village except you. Then I counted again just now. Guess what? There is one more person."
Upon hearing this, her steps suddenly stopped: "Where are there more people?"
"How do I know?" In the consciousness space, Shen Yi shook his head. In fact, this feeling should be said to be some kind of invisible but real organ. It is better to say that it is looking than touching.
An object, or creature, emerges in a form that is difficult to describe.
The old witch asked herself where there were more people. It was like there were a hundred identical chopsticks in front of her, and there was one more chopstick among them. Then she asked herself to find the extra chopstick. How to find it?
Just count how many chopsticks there are. How can a normal person remember the details of all the chopsticks?
Seeing that Chuyun didn't speak anymore, He began to think deeply, and then asked again after a while: "Are you sure there is really one more person?"
"right."
"Everyone except Du Daniu stays in the house?"
"Um."
"I understand." She nodded and walked quickly towards the entrance of the village.
"I'll go, you won't want to go see each family, right?"
"Then what else can I do?"
"Okay." Shen Yi nodded, not wanting to care about her.
Let the old witch do whatever you want, she will do the hard work anyway, and you can just be an audience on the side.
But just as he was thinking this, someone in his consciousness actually dimmed.
Shen had seen this situation many times, and he immediately realized that someone was dead!
So he hurriedly said: "Old witch! Go back!"
"What are you going back for?"
"Someone died in the house."
"where?"
"Go back, take the road to the right."
"Then what?"
"Turn right again, the second house on the left."
Under Shen Yi's instructions, she quickly came to the place he said, stopped at the door, and said in her heart: "Is it right here?"
"It's right here, people die in it."
If Du Daniu were here, he would find that this is the home of his cousin Du Xiaogang.
After receiving Shen Yi's confirmation, Hejian Chuyun raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Is there anyone inside? Open the door quickly."
No one in the room answered, but Shen Yi said: "What are you asking for? The door has been kicked down, it's important to save people!"
He Jian Chuyun remained silent, and after seeing no response from anyone inside, she forced the door open. For a moment, a strong smell of blood penetrated her nostrils.
She frowned and looked into the room, and saw two people lying on the ground, a woman and a boy who looked to be only seven or eight years old, both lying in a pool of blood.
Next to the woman's body, a man squatted down and struck the body with a sickle in his hand, carving out shocking bloody holes one after another.
After hearing the sound of He Jian Chuyun breaking through the door, he slowly stood up and faced her. This person was Du Xiaogang.
However, he is now covered in blood, both from his wife and children, and from himself. His wife struggled violently before her death, which caused him to suffer serious injuries. One hand was cut off by a hatchet, and the wound There was still blood coming out.
"It's a pity that two more people died. I didn't want to kill them, but they didn't know how to appreciate them, so they had no choice but to kill them."
"Du Xiaogang" said, as if he was explaining his behavior, but Tsurumi Chuyun in front of him looked at him with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Old witch, be careful, there is someone under the bed." Shen Yi reminded, but the other person didn't even look at him, his eyes were fixed on "Du Xiaogang".
The moment he raised the scythe, she dodged and rushed over. She raised her sword and knocked the scythe away from his hand.
Without his weapon, "Du Xiaogang" froze there, but the next second, a black and purple mist emerged from his body, and he swooped under the bed.
The evil spirits were transferred, and Du Xiaogang became a dead man, and his body fell down weakly.
Soon, there was movement under the bed. A man quickly climbed out and stood up. Tsurumi Chuyun turned around and swung a sword without hesitation. The other party reacted very quickly and immediately bent down to avoid this attack. A sword.
Along with a cold light, the embroidery on the wall "teared" and was cut into two by the sharp sword blade.
The man didn't pay any attention to it, flew up and knocked open the window, and ran away wildly outside. However, when he looked back at Tsurumi Chuyun, his eyes were shining brightly.
And she didn't dare to delay, and immediately left the house, with a faint green light shining on her body, as light as a swallow, and chased after him.
On the rugged mountain path that was as winding as an intestine, the two men chased each other and fled as if they were walking on flat ground.
But Tsurumi Chuyun had obtained the true inheritance of Qingfengyu after all, and was extremely fast when performing the Qingyun Jue. Even though the man ran with all his strength, he was eventually caught up.
The coldness emanating from the sword's edge made him feel cold all over his body. When he looked back, his face changed slightly, and he leaned half a foot to the left in an extremely strange posture.
Uh-huh!
When the cold light came down, he managed to save his life at the cost of having his arm cut off. He didn't dare to be stunned and turned around and continued running towards the mass grave not far away.
After entering the range of the mass grave, he was heard shouting loudly: "Gloomy wind bursts! Silent forest howls!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw himself flying into the air, then falling heavily to the ground. After rolling around, he saw his headless body. (End of chapter)
