Somehow, the surrounding suddenly became lively.
Aluan came to the backyard alone. There are many people here and the space seems a bit small. Many people were chatting here, and there were a few Taoist-looking people sweeping the floor and chatting. There were many people resting on the lawn, and almost all of them were talking. Everyone's voices were loud or soft, but Aluan couldn't hear what they were saying. He only felt that the purity of the Taoist powerhouse still remained.
But...where did they come from? It seemed to come out all at once, happening in an instant, but she didn't notice the abruptness, and it was as smooth as a dream. She looked around and saw that the buildings were relatively new and not as dilapidated as when she first entered. She wanted to go back to the mountains and seas and shuttle among the crowds, but no matter how hard she walked, she couldn't get back to her original place. No matter where I go, I'm always going around in circles, these familiar scenes coming and going.
This kind of noise gave her the same feeling as when she strayed into the underworld as a child, and suddenly returned to silence from the strong noise. But now, there must be no swordsmith to take him back.
Mu Wan didn't have much patience for long. She stepped forward, interrupted the conversation between the two Taoist priests, and said sternly:
"I don't know where Aluan went."
"I didn't see her walking out, maybe she ran to the back."
When Shi Wuqi said this, he looked at the mountains and sea carefully. His anxiety was clearly reflected on his face, and he was not as calm as Dai Luan when he was usually playful and running around. So he thought that Shanhai was indeed aware of Linyou's problem.
But no one can tell clearly what the problem is.
Several people hurried to the backyard, shouting Dai Luan's name everywhere, but no one answered. So they spread out even more and continued looking.
Shi Wuqi smelled a special smell. With his many years of experience, he could definitely tell that this was the smell that only corpses would emit. Unlike corpse odor, its irritating smell was downplayed, and only a simple smell of death pervaded. If there were incense burning, maybe he wouldn't be able to smell the smell.
The outdoors was relatively empty, and the bodies were buried deep, so he needed to find some work. Shi Wuqi glanced in the direction of the specially set up cemetery, where the bodies of the poor and unclaimed were buried. Rich people don't sleep here.
But this smell doesn't come from there. This is fresh death, and it's not human.
He turned back to look for Linyou's position and found that he was looking at him. Rather, Linyou looked at Qi beside him. This made him slightly unhappy, but he couldn't say anything. Before Shi Wuqi spoke, the other party walked up first.
"Your corpse control skills remind me of a well-known person in the world."
"The person you are talking about is not famous in the world." Shi Wuqi stared at his red eyes, "He is only famous among demons."
At this time, Mu Wan ran from behind Linyou. He turned around and looked at her with Shi Wuqi. But Mu Wan ignored it and walked directly to Shi Wuqi. She was running a little fast, and she was breathing quickly.
"Have you found Aluan?"
"No" she shook her head, "There is something else, come and see with me."
When he said this, Mu Wan also glanced at Lin You, as did Shi Wuqi. This subtle hint in the eyes made all three parties aware of each other's attitudes. Linyou naturally knew that they had some opinions about him, but he remained calm and composed, as if he had something planned, but also as if he didn't.
Naturally, he followed along.
After walking a few steps, Mu Wan pointed to a piece of small stones, all square. On the way over, Shi Wuqi noticed that the scent he had smelled before was getting stronger. He knelt down and looked at the stones carefully. Not only are they square, but they are also placed very neatly. You can tell at a glance that someone has done this deliberately.
He turned his head and glanced at Lin You. The smile on Lin You's face no longer existed, but he was not anxious either. He just looked at him calmly.
"I feel a very weak demonic aura." Mu Wan pointed to the area, "But I'm not sure. I just think it's not normal for such aura to appear in a Taoist temple."
"It's a cemetery, yes." Shi Wuqi stood up, "But the ones buried are not Taoist priests, nor other common people."
"That is?"
Shi Wuqi turned around and looked at Linyou, answering Mu Wan's question:
"The one buried is Wong Tai Sin."
"Huang...are they the ones killed by the demon hunters?"
"I think so. Taoist priest Lin... you said you have always lived here, right?"
Depending on the situation, it will take some time for the demonic aura on a monster that has died not long ago to dissipate, and the same is true for a person's aura. The decomposition of corpses also requires a process, not to mention mana. It’s just that ordinary people don’t have that much on them, so they disperse quickly.
As for Shan Hai, he found his apprentice. In a very remote corner, he saw Aluan muttering to the wall. He immediately stepped forward, bent slightly, and patted Aluan on the shoulder. She had no response, so Shan Hai moved closer to hear what she was saying. The strange thing was that he couldn't distinguish the small words in her mouth. It doesn't look like a complete sentence, nor does it look like a spell. It's like a dream, mumbling words that no one can understand.
Don't you think you've been possessed again? But how could there be such great evil in the land of Dao Sect? But thinking about it carefully, Aluan's character is too weak, and it is indeed easy for dirty things to take advantage of it. Moreover, this Taoist temple has been abandoned for a long time and has no righteousness to calm it down, so it makes sense that something happened.
So, what happened?
If you don't know what the problem is, it will be difficult to solve it. Shan Hai doesn't dare to make random attempts when dealing with his apprentice. He wanted to call the others over, but his companions were nowhere to be found. Shanhai wanted to pull her away first, so he grabbed her hand. It didn't matter if she didn't pull her. He put a little force on her arm, but Ah Luan suddenly turned her head and startled him.
Although Aluan looked at him, his eyes looked like he was looking at a stranger.
"I'm not going!" she shouted.
"Aluan, listen to me, we..."
"Don't pull me! I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for the mountains and seas to find me!"
"...Calm down, I am your master. Do you recognize me?"
"Go away, go away, go away!"
Dai Luan's words were completely inconsistent with Shan Hai, and she seemed not to have heard what he said at all. She suddenly rushed over, as if trying to push away something, Shanhai quickly moved out of the way, and she ran away. If his heart breaks, he will chase after him.
This was some kind of illusion, and it was most likely Linyou's fault. Shan Hai is not stupid, he knows very well.
Shi Wuqi and the others saw the figure of a girl running towards her from a distance, with Shan Hai chasing after her. Not caring about asking Linyou anything, the two of them took Miss Qi and chased after him. But their worries were obviously unnecessary. Shanhai took out the talisman from his sleeve, recited a spell, and threw the talisman onto Aluan's back. She suddenly froze in place and almost fell down, but was pulled back by an external force on her back. After that, she just stood there blankly. Aluan's eyes were still very frightened, and he was shouting and screaming, as if he had seen something that others could not see.
"What happened?"
Mu Wan ran over to check on Aluan. Shanhai stretched out his hand and made a forbidden gesture, walked up, and pasted another talisman on Aluan's forehead. Only then did she calm down completely, as if she was immobilized.
"If she was caught in some illusion, her time should be at a standstill now." Shan Hai turned his head and focused his gaze on Lin You, who was sitting on the wall at some point. "Does this Taoist priest really not want to explain?"
"Oh, you guys are so awesome."
Although he said this, Lin You didn't feel very shocked. The tone was indeed approving, and their actions did surprise him. But there was clearly a hint of joking in his tone, as if he was sincerely causing trouble and watching the fun.
Mu Wan took out his umbrella and pointed at him: "Stop talking nonsense, come down!"
"Yo yo yo, you are so fierce. Being angry is not good for a girl's skin." In a blink of an eye, the elegant Taoist priest put on the face of an old gangster, "What a pity, I thought you could fall into the trap. But. You are so smart, I was unlucky, I met the Onmyoji I hate the most when I came up, and there were several more."
"Really? So you plan to eat the visiting pilgrims?" Wu Qi asked him.
"I'm only interested in...part of a person, such as the brain." He pointed to his temple, "You are so smart, and I was lucky enough to think that if I could capture you, I could save hundreds of years of practice."
But judging from his calm tone, he might have been prepared to fail.
"The ones buried in those graves are all your kind, and you ate their brains too?"
Mu Wan's expression and tone were disgusting, and she showed this emotion clearly. Shan Hai understood what he heard from these words, and he immediately asked:
"You said that other Onmyoji killed them, is that true?"
Linyou smiled again. There was obviously no difference in his expression, but after revealing his malice, he looked much more frivolous.
"Ah, I didn't lie to you about that. It's true that I hate Onmyoji, and it's true that he killed them - cannibalism also helps the demon power, but I won't eat them. They are my family."
He said all this without hesitation, making it difficult for people to tell the truth from the lies. Perhaps confusing reality with reality in this way is also his purpose. The five kinds of family immortals are all good at such word tricks.
"You hate Onmyoji. You just want to seek revenge on those who killed them. Why harm innocent people?"
"Are you kidding me? Are you asking me to fight the murderer who killed more than twenty of my relatives at the same time? Do you want me to die directly? Girl, you are so funny."
"But you are not a Huangxian." Shi Wuqi looked at him. "Although you hide your evil spirit tightly, the smell on your body is not human, and it is also very different from a weasel."
"So didn't I say it at the beginning?" He spread his hands, "I am Lin You, it's Lin You."
ah.
They get it.
Not a yellow weasel, but a lonely weasel.
