The fire in the incense shop was completely extinguished until nearly midnight, because the fire was saved in time and the outline of the house was still there.
It was already late at night, and most of the people fighting the fire had dispersed.
There was a mess here just now, everyone was trying to save the fire, and no one had time to pay attention to Qiaoyi, a little foreign girl. What's more, they didn't know why the fire started. After the fire was extinguished and Qiaoyi handed the veil and helped put it away, someone told her their guess about the cause of the fire. The reason is that the shop is full of flammable objects such as incense candles and paper figurines, and it was probably done accidentally.
Qiaoyi naturally doesn't think this is an excuse to do business. So, after everyone had dispersed, Qiaoyi stepped into the ruins with a lantern in one hand and her skirt in the other. Only then did she realize that although this unremarkable incense and candle shop looked like a wooden house, there were actually a lot of things on the outside. Separated by a stone wall, no wonder the fire was so big just now. It didn't burn much of the house next to it, and it also saved the young master from the trouble of losing many lives when he first took office.
She walked boldly inside. Although the stone wall blocked the fire, it also locked in the choking smell. After the fire, it was obvious that the beams and columns were under their weight and were in a shaky state.
The more Qiaoyi looked at it, the more suspicious she became. The broken house didn't look very obvious from the outside. The neighbors who came to help put out the fire said it was a messy and crowded small store. But after the fire, Qiaoyi didn't feel like this. The house is not considered "small". What's more, the stone wall craftsmanship is complicated and the cost is high. How can a shop that specializes in dead people and the shop owner is a blind old man afford it?
There was a sudden sound in the darkness. Qiaoyi froze in fright and did not dare to turn around to look. She now feels that this shop is extremely weird, and she only hopes that her young master can give her the courage to leave here without disturbing the thing...
"Why are you here?" A female voice that didn't sound very kind put a hand on Qiaoyi's shoulder. Qiaoyi's heart jumped into her throat and she didn't dare to breathe. But after the hand was removed, a blood mark was clearly left on the shoulder. Qiaoyi couldn't bear it any longer and screamed, "Ghost!"
"What did you say?" Du Anchen frowned and pulled the little girl back. Qiaoyi trembled and didn't dare to open her eyes: "I, I, I... I don't know anything, I can't see anything, wuwuwu, young master!"
Just after reading a few sentences, Qiaoyi suddenly heard a cough. This voice sounded familiar. When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be Jie Nanshi. His face was pale and he covered his mouth while coughing, but his clothes were not stained with dust. As long as my benefactor is here, there won't be any trouble. Qiaoyi felt relieved when she saw Du Anchen's face was full of disgust and he didn't even look at her. He was covered in dust and looked embarrassed, and his hands were dripping with blood: "Why are you scaring me?!"
Du Anchen had no intention of explaining to Qiaoyi. He straightened his clothes and patted the dust.
The current situation did not look like the arrangement and instructions of the young master. She stood dumbly for a while and then saluted Jie Nanshi as if she had just woken up from a dream: "My dear friend, you are here too!"
"Is it Song Yu...?"
"Exactly." Qiaoyi answered solemnly, refusing to say another word.
Although Xie Nanshi didn't know the master and servant of the Song Dynasty well, he felt that Qiaoyi should be a smart girl, so he had to ask again: "What about others?"
"There was a murder in the city, suspected to be the work of a strange ghost. The young master went to investigate. It happened to be a fire here, so the young master asked me to come over and see if there was anything unusual."
Another White Walker? ! Xie Nanshi's expression changed slightly and he said, "Take me there."
Qiaoyi held up the lamp and led the way without much thought. From the programming of the program, it was destined that she would not want to leave the young master for too long. Without the young master's order, except for the shopping period required for work, she can only wander within a range of about one thousand meters from the Song Dynasty. If she leaves for a long time, garbled characters will appear - of course she does not understand what garbled characters are. .
…
Song Yu's action seemed bold, but in fact he was panicking inside.
He currently has no level, no skills, and may not be as good as a servant NPC who seems to be able to fight a little. But in order to leave the game, he must search alone in this mansion where white ghosts kill people to find the key to a plot that is completely different from his memory. When he pretended to be mysterious and pretended to be sophisticated, he really discovered something.
Logically speaking, the White Walkers also need to practice, and occupying human skin and entrusting themselves to the human body only makes their practice more stable. Therefore, after most ghosts take over human skin, unless they have great abilities, they will hide their identity or even pretend to be the host to live with people for a long time.
If the strange ghost that was uncovered in the Security Department last night had not been found by Xie Nanshi and was determined to avenge his "sister", I am afraid it would have been able to lurk and hide for a while.
From this point of view, things in the Zhang family are strange. The White Walkers finally killed someone, but abandoned the human skin and arranged a scene in a ritualistic manner? No matter what you think, it's wrong.
When he was led to the central hall by the NPC, he was so angry that he stopped laughing. He pointed at the huge statue on the shrine that was so high that it almost penetrated the roof of the house, and said word by word: "You call this a statue?"
Song Yu admitted that his cultural level was relatively average, but this thing looked abnormal. How could he be worshiped as a god?
"This... but the master said it was a divine statue with great supernatural powers." The servant paused, then sighed and muttered, "But it couldn't protect the master's life."
This sentence was like a switch. After finally resting for a while, Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears and started crying again.
Song Yu looked at the group of NPCs with no worries, and even his expression became dull: "Worship such an honor every day...won't you have nightmares?"
"But aren't all the gods and Buddhas in the world like this? They either make people look up to them or fear them. This statue has both, so it naturally has some magic power." Mrs. Zhang wiped the corners of her eyes softly and weakly, and suddenly she exploded. He cried, "That's what my officials said, and I believe it. If I had met the master of the Department of Peace earlier, my officials would not have worshiped the wrong Bodhisattva."
She is both a god and a bodhisattva. Although Mrs. Zhang is an NPC, she is obviously an NPC with a lot of drama. Song Yu gave the plan a thumbs up in his heart. But now it seems that this family has no in-depth understanding of this statue, and they can't ask any more questions. The rest still have to rely on him to pick up clues.
The central hall is filled with a strong smell of incense, obviously there is no lack of worship on weekdays. However, there was still a broken incense stick stuck in the incense burner in front of the statue. Apparently it broke when it was half-way through the incense burner, which looked unlucky. Song Yu walked towards the statue of the god. The statue had two appearances, the left and right. The left side was solemn and the right side was ferocious. The closer it was, the more one had to look up, and the more terrifying it became, making people's hearts beat with fear.
"Does this look like it was brought back by your master?" No matter how he looked at it, Song Yu felt that such a big thing couldn't fit through the small door.
"This..." Everyone looked at each other, obviously a little strange about this, "That's right? The master promised the children to go home for two days, and when they came back, they seemed to be here. On weekdays, the master doesn't allow us to take a step forward. Even the sweeping was done by the master himself."
No useful clues. Without the two thugs Jie Nanshi and Du Anchen, Song Yu didn't dare to take action rashly: "Do you know what material this is made of?"
"It's copper."
"Oh." In the light, the surface of the ghost statue is flowing with metallic luster, which is obviously carefully crafted...
Just when Song Yu was observing the statue carefully, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he felt that the statue seemed to blink. The old boss didn't seem to be very comfortable in this room. With a slumped face, he wanted to go out for some air. Unexpectedly, the door was closed at some point: "Huh? Who is so unethical as to close the door? Open the door!"
"Window!" Song Yu's expression changed and he hurriedly opened the window. The wooden window lattice didn't move at all. With the dark wind blowing behind him, it was not a wise choice to turn his back on the ghost statue. Song Yu took the lead in facing it, glaring at it angrily. Although I felt very guilty, my momentum was indispensable.
The ghosts and gods regarded him as an ant. He had just lost a clone and was in need of nourishment. Now the people in this room are the best materials. The huge statue of ghosts and gods began to move, first with its eyes, slowly looking at the people in the room. Then came the mouth. The ghost face stretched out its tongue as long and slender as a letter and licked the lips, while the Buddha face muttered a rebirth mantra with a strange tone.
The old master, Mrs. Zhang and the servants who came in together had never seen such a scene before, and they all cried like ghosts. At this moment, the old master remembered who his superior was, and placed all his hopes of survival on the young steward Shangguan: "Sir, your lord!"
Song Yu had no time to talk to the old master and others. He was quickly browsing his space backpack. Although he had looked at it countless times and saw that all the useful things in it were useless, he always hoped when facing an emergency. There can be one or two things that work. Thanks to his sorting last time, all the usable props were put in a pile and easy to rummage through. Song Yu's eyes quickly glanced over, and as expected, there were no props that could be used for attacks.
At this time, the limbs of the statue also moved. The Buddha's Lighting Lamp Jue turned into a weird seal that didn't look like it could be made by human hands. The rebirth mantra he muttered also changed, and he started laughing wildly. The ghost was even more arrogant. He squeezed the snake hard, causing the long copper snake to twist. His other hand put the head into his mouth and chewed it raw.
Then, it slowly walked down from the shrine.
Its movement is not very fast, but Song Yu has already felt a huge sense of crisis. Looking carefully, the blood volume displayed on the top of the boss's head directly shows three? It was obviously something he was not worthy of observing at his level.
Song Yu's expression became even more anxious. There was nothing he could use among the full system packages. No matter how much red medicine he takes and how fast he takes the medicine, there is no way to guarantee that this level of blood will not be lost by the boss in one move. If he can't find a way to attack or defend, he can only wait for death!
And the weird scriptures, the ghosts chewing the copper heads, the screams of the snakes, the screams of the old master and others, and the banging on the doors and windows were even more noisy, blocking Song Yu almost from thinking about doing anything. Even the descriptions of the items in the backpack are almost unclear.
"It's so noisy!" Song Yu felt his anger rising, but there was nothing he could do! He is not a god, he can be as calm as Jie Nanshi at all times! He took a long breath and tried to calm himself down. At the same time, he turned to the next page. This part of the backpack was used to store some props that were never needed and were ready to be cleared at any time. Unexpectedly, this look shows that waste can really be used.
Suona - a commemorative prop given in the Fox Bride chapter. When the suona sounds, it means either ascending to heaven or worshiping in the hall.
What to use to deal with ear piercing caused by magic sound? Use musical instrument rogue suona! It is impossible to worship in the church. It depends on whether the ghost statue can be raised to the sky.
