In the west of the city, at noon, the sun directly overhead was suddenly blocked by a thick layer of clouds, the sky darkened instantly, and a cold wind sprang up in the already cold weather.
At the entrance of the Tong family's house, the red door is slightly open, and the red silk wedding lanterns are swaying in the wind, which looks very strange.
Shen Xichen and Jin Mu entered Tong's house one after another. The creaking sound of the door was particularly abrupt. Some swords and magic weapons were scattered on the ground leading to the inner courtyard. The weapons without the blessing of spiritual power were nothing more than a pile of mortal objects. There was a Taoist man lying on his face at the steps in front. The two of them quickly stepped forward and turned over to check. They found that he was already dead. His spiritual energy had been sucked out. He died with his eyes open.
Looking up through the hanging flower door to the front yard, the huge yard is full of people lying on the ground.
corpse
"living hell..."
When he learned that no one from more than a dozen groups of monks had come out, Ayu knew that their fate was grim. But facing so many deaths, Ayuren found it shocking.
"The corpses are all those of cultivators. There are no Tong family members. Find them first and then find a way to lure the sneak out. How about it, Taoist Master Shen."
Jin Mu stood with folded hands, looked at Shen Xichen with a smile, and asked for his opinion.
"No need to look for it. The Tong family is in the backyard. There are three in the main house, one in the east and west wing, and two in the back courtyard, but there is still one that cannot be found."
After saying that, he walked to the backyard
Jin Mu looked at Shen Xichen's back, his smile deepened, he was really smart, he was worthy of being the number one person in Qingfeng Mountain.
"That Jin Mu just finished asking, how come you already know it?" Ayu was curious, maybe Shen Xichen could predict other people's thoughts.
"When I entered the Tong family, I already sensed it with my spiritual sense. Although the Tong family members are still alive, their souls have left their bodies. This sneaky person not only wants to kill them, but also tortures them. Life is worse than death."
Really worthy of Shen Xichen.
After listening to his words, Ayu also had some derivative thoughts: "If he hates the Tong family so much, he will definitely not let them die easily. Since the breath is still there, the soul must still be in the hands of the evil ghost. If we find a way to let him If you hand over your soul, the Tong family may still have a chance to survive, am I right?"
"Miss Jade has a good idea, but if it is really the Tong family's evil deeds that led to such disasters, then their death or death will be their retribution, so why should we worry about it."
Near Mu is now following them.
Shen Xishen stopped, turned to face Jin Mu, and said, "What about this matter? It's not yet..."
"Chen Xichen, it's okay." Ayu interrupted him, flew to Shen Xichen and said to Jin Mu.
"Taoist Master Jin Mu, if he had been harmed by the Tong family during his lifetime and committed such a serious crime, there would be laws in the human world to punish the Tong family. As a ghost after his death, if he has any grievances, the underworld will be responsible for it. But now because of his obsession, not only He harmed the Tong family and more than a dozen lives in the front yard, and the people in the city were displaced and worried all day long because of him. He who was originally innocent is now the biggest sin. I don’t know if I can save the lives of the Tong family. No matter how many sins it is, I really want to help him, and he can’t make the same mistake again and again.”
Okay, she's done.
After hearing what she said, Shen Xichen raised a slight smile on his lips, turned Ayu back, looked at Jin Mu, and his tone changed:
"Taoist Master Jin Mu, I made groundless speculations before. Please forgive me if I have a bad attitude. Since the Tong family is still alive, how can we, as a cultivator, ignore death? I, a little evil boy, want to help this evil spirit. Of course, I don’t count. After all, the truth of the matter is still unknown. Whether this evil ghost will have the opportunity to go to the underworld to atone for his sins in the future, or whether he will be eliminated by us, all depends on his fate. If Taoist Master Jin Mu is still with us It’s best if we take the same path, but if we have other ideas, we will never force it, just leave it here.”
Shen Xichen has always been wary of Jin Mu, but now he can't stand him even more. In this case, there is no need to fight with him anymore. Since Jin Mu dares to make provocations, Shen Xichen is not a vegetarian. .
"I'm the one who said something rude, so I'll apologize to you two first, but you two have such a tacit understanding of each other that you sing and sing in harmony with each other. In this case, it's their fate. I came here for the imperial city, so naturally we have the same purpose. Let's continue , let’s continue.” After Jin Mu finished speaking, he smiled and put his hand forward.
"Please."
Shen Xi got off the donkey down the slope, turned around and took Ayu towards the direction of the Tong family.
Ayu used spiritual energy to form an arm and poked Shen Xichen's arm and said: "If I understand correctly, you mean that if this ghost is willing to return his soul in the future to atone for the mistakes he committed, then you will let him go. If he Regardless of whether he continues to do evil, then get rid of him, right?"
"I can still understand human speech." Shen Xi turned his head and scolded her with a smile.
"Thank you, Shen Xichen, thank you for your willingness to understand and protect my ideas. I don't know if what I did is right, but if he does continue to do evil things, please take action to get rid of him. , don’t give me face.”
"Fool, if you believe me so much, what if I fall into the hands of that evil ghost?"
"Stop bluffing me. If you die, I will die too... Wait, let me think about it... No, no, if you die, I will be finished too." Ayu realized that she had said, If you make a mistake, try to make up for it.
"So do your best, but don't die."
"Okay, I don't dare to die for you, little devil."
"I'm not evil!!!!"
Ayu was a little bit crazy, but she didn't know which sentence or word it was because of.
Walking to the backyard, the scene in front of Ayu was unexpected. The man who was so deep that he couldn't even find his breath hanged himself in front of the main house. Lying in the courtyard were two children, the sons and daughters of the eldest young master.
The three people lying side by side in the main room are Tong Si, Tong Da and Master Tong, who were the first to fall in the Tong family. In the east room is Mrs. Tong who is lying on the bed. In the west room is Tong Wu who is huddled in the corner and is still young and has not yet left the cabinet. Girl, then the person who hanged himself is Mrs. Zhou, the daughter-in-law of Tong’s parents.
Based on the information already available and the situation at the scene, Shen Xichen knew what happened.
First, after the men of the Tong family fell, the women of the Tong family worked together to place them in the main house, and then Mrs. Tong. After the remaining few found out that even Mrs. Tong was like this, they knew that this evil spirit was not just targeting people. The men of the Tong family want to harm the entire Tong family.
So the few people left hugged each other for warmth, and then it was Miss Tong Wu's turn. Maybe Zhou, who stayed at the end at this time, was a little crazy after everything she had experienced, but she still fled to the courtyard with her children. Unfortunately, she didn't even have a pair of children. As a mother, she lost her last hope and went completely crazy, so her face and body were covered with wounds caused by herself, but Xie Sui let her go because she was not a member of the Tong family with the blood of the Tong family, but She ended up killing herself.
When she saw her husband, family members, and even her children become so inhuman, she might have been ready to accompany her children. However, after a long time, she finally confirmed that she She is the only safe person in the Tong family, but will she be happy and grateful that she is still alive? Obviously, she gave the answer.
Who would have thought that the evil spirit obviously wanted to harm the Tong family, but why was she the only one who experienced all the pain and suffered the most?
After placing the Zhou family in the west wing, he placed the rest of the Tong family behind the main house, and then went to the front yard to dispose of the bodies of the dozen colleagues.
In Tongjia's courtyard, a group of people were piled on top of each other. After a fire, thick smoke billowed out.
The clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sun once again illuminated the imperial city.
"Evil ghosts don't appear during the day. The Tong family doesn't have much evil spirits. It seems they haven't appeared for a few days. If we use spiritual energy to attract them, I wonder if they will come tonight." Jin Mu put his hands behind his hands. He stood and looked at the fire and asked Shen Xichen.
"All the Tong family members in the imperial city have been killed, but all the descendants of the Tong family have been scattered. Although I haven't heard of the same for other Tong family members, I can't be sure. Now the last two daughters of the Tong family have married out of town and I don't know the situation. , The evil ghost will not come to the Tong family again tonight, the imperial city has no value." Shen Xi analyzed the current situation calmly.
"It's been so many days. Those side clans and Miss Tong Er and San are no longer in trouble."
"Don't worry, Miss Jade. The evil ghost has absorbed a lot of spiritual energy before, but too much spiritual energy in a short period of time is not good for him, so now he will only hide in a deserted place to refine spiritual energy. It's not too late for us." Mu thought about it and continued: "But I only knew the information about the second girl Tong's husband's family before. No one seems to know the information about the third girl except the Tong family. Now the evil ghost's next target cannot be determined. Why don't we set off separately? , I’m going to investigate the current situation of the Tong family’s branches, you go to Miss Tong’s place.”
Shen Xi thought for a while but did not refute Jin Mu's idea. He took out the exorcism bell and whispered the mantra, the bell lit up, and then handed it to Jin Mu.
"This is an ordinary exorcism bell. I have attached a spirit to it. If the evil ghost's target is a sideline, you can use your spiritual power to ring the bell and we will come over. But I don't think the evil ghost will let go of the Tong family's daughter easily."
Jin Mu took the bell and put it away, "I know that if nothing happens here, I will rush to Miss Tong Er's house immediately. As for Miss Tong San, I can only wish her good luck. Miss Yu, we will see you later."
After saying that, Jin Mu gave Shen Xi and Shen Tonger's address, turned around and used his spiritual power to move away in an instant.
Ayu also came up to look at the address and then urged Shen Xichen, "Then let's set off as soon as possible. Qilin Town, is it far? How long does it take to ride there on horseback? Can we make it in time..."
Shen Xichen squinted at Ayu and said unconvinced: "Why, do you think I'm worse than Jin Mu? He can use his spiritual power to teleport, can't I? Qishan Town is far away, but I want to go there. Sunset Come forward, we'll definitely get there."
"Hahahahahaha, Shen Xichen, why are you so petty now, and you still know how to compare." Before Ayu could finish laughing, she felt that her spiritual power was in chaos, no, it was moving very fast, so fast that she felt dizzy and could only close her senses. .
When I opened my eyes later, I was outside the imperial city.
When I opened my eyes again later, the town was no longer visible.
It’s great to have spiritual power!
