Hearing Changsheng's words, Yu Yi walked over and picked up the infant baby. At this time, the baby had expired. Yu Yi chanted a line of Amitabha, and then silently recited the sutra, compassionate salvation.
Datou dragged the giant rat in front, and Yu Yi followed behind with his baby in his arms. He was worried that the giant rat and others of its kind were lurking in the dense forest, so Chang Sheng was not in a hurry to leave. He stood at the edge of the dense forest and observed for a moment before quickly following up. Two people.
There were a lot of rocks in the field, and the giant rat was knocked awake by the rocks before the big head was dragged far. With a quick glance, Yu stepped forward and kicked the giant rat again before it could turn over and bite someone, knocking it out again.
The reason why those hungry people stayed near the porridge was so that they could receive rice porridge early tomorrow. After being frightened, they did not leave too far, but gathered near the inn, using the light of the lantern at the inn's door to dispel their fear. Stabilize your mind.
When such an incident happened, the policemen who were traveling with them and the postmen at the inn had to come out to check the situation. The woman who had lost her child was kneeling at the door of the inn, crying and begging, hoping that the postmen could help find and rescue her child.
The postmen are just ordinary soldiers. They have no spiritual energy and cannot see in the dark. Even if they want to help, they are unable to do anything.
The detectives at Yushitai did have spiritual skills, but they were not allowed to act at will without orders from their superiors.
When the three of them approached, some sharp-eyed people saw a huge mouse dragging behind Datou, and some saw Yu Yi holding a baby in his arms. The woman was reminded by others, and turned around to see Yu Yi holding a baby in his arms. The swaddled baby rushed over eagerly, and while thanking him repeatedly, he snatched the swaddled baby from Yu Yi's arms.
Before the woman could lift the swaddling clothes, Yu Yi said, "Your child has been bitten to death by a monster."
After hearing Yu's words, the woman's little hope that had just risen was instantly shattered. She eagerly opened her swaddling clothes, and then let out a heart-rending wail.
Yu Yi did not comfort the woman, but just stood aside and looked at her helplessly.
At this moment, Changsheng began to regret bringing the baby's body back. As long as she didn't see the baby's body, this woman could still have illusions and hope.
But on second thought, it was right to bring the baby's body back. The unknown is the most torturous. Compared with the endless worries and doubts, the cruel truth seems less cruel, because no matter how cruel the truth is, it is still more painful than the endless worries and doubts. Unknown is better.
"Why are you still standing there? Go get the rope quickly." Datou shouted to several postmen who looked frightened.
Hearing the shouts, the postmen hurriedly turned around and ran into the post station to look for ropes.
Although the hungry people had been frightened before, they were not so scared when they saw the true face of the monster. They all came over to look at the giant gray-furred rat with its belly facing upward.
At this moment, the tail of the giant rat suddenly moved. Seeing this, everyone was frightened and ran away.
The postmen quickly took out the ropes. Seeing that they were timid and trembling, many of the arresters from the headquarters were disdainful and took the ropes and tied them up.
Worried that they were not tied firmly, Datou took matters into his own hands and tied up the giant rat.
Datou knew how to make Changsheng look good. After tying up the giant rat, Changsheng pointed his fingers and said to everyone, "This is Mr. Li, the Crown Prince of the current dynasty, the Secretary of the Ministry of Households and the Imperial Censor. Mr. Li is the pillar of the country, a versatile man in both civil and military affairs." , this monster was surrendered by Master Li himself."
Changsheng was thinking about how to deal with this giant rat at this time. When he heard Datou talking about his reputation, he waved his hand at it, indicating that it was enough.
After waving his hand, Changsheng raised his head and looked at the postman at the door of the inn, "You are the guards here, do you know anything about this monster?"
Seeing the postmen all shaking their heads, Chang Sheng asked another question, "Is this the first time this monster appears, or has it appeared before? Have monsters harmed people in this area before?"
The postmen still shook their heads, but someone from the hungry people on the side spoke, "Things like throwing children away have happened many times over the years."
"Not only are children lost, livestock are also often lost inexplicably."
"We thought it was a tiger or wolf in the mountains causing trouble, but we didn't expect it was a rat spirit."
"I heard from my grandpa that there is a black-haired monster in this mountain that eats several virgins every year."
Just as everyone was talking, the giant rat woke up again. Seeing people standing around him, he instinctively wanted to escape, but found that he had been tied up. Then there was a sharp scream and a violent struggle. .
While struggling, the giant rat kept changing back and forth between its original form and its human form. Under the dim light, this strange change looked very scary. I don't know if it is because the monster is still young and cannot change at will, or because it is tied to its head. The rope was tightened too tightly, and although the giant rat struggled violently, it was still unable to break free from the rope.
Seeing that it was impossible to break free, the giant rat suddenly became quiet and stared straight at Changsheng with its two glowing eyes.
The moment he looked directly into the eyes of the giant rat, Chang Sheng had a feeling of déjà vu. The so-called déjà vu did not mean that he had seen this giant rat before, but that the creepy and numb scalp feeling of being stared at by the giant rat was very familiar to him. Whenever there was thunder and cloudy weather when he was in Wangjiakuang, he would hide in a cave outside the village. On the way to the cave, he would often feel numbness in his scalp.
He didn't know why he felt this way at the beginning. After entering Longhu Mountain and listening to some senior mages' talk, he finally understood that when being secretly coveted by aliens, a person's natal soul will sense the approaching danger. This kind of The feeling of numbness in the scalp is a warning from the natal soul.
As he stared at the giant rat for a long time, his scalp became numb and his feeling of panic and shortness of breath gradually increased.
Changsheng has been studying the magic of Longhu Mountain during the period after the year. He knows that some aliens have the ability to disturb people's minds and influence other people's minds, which is what the world calls "sleeping people". At this time, this giant rat directly Staring at him seductively, he was undoubtedly using Meng Ren's skills to control his mind.
Seeing this giant rat that eats people and kills people dare to try to control him, Changsheng's anger suddenly arose, and murderous intent suddenly emerged.
At the same time that he had the murderous intention, his scalp was numb and his feeling of panic and shortness of breath disappeared.
Unable to sleep, the giant rat looked quite painful, and then turned to look at the postman at the door of the post station. The moment he was stared at, the eyes of a postman became hollow and blurred, he pulled out the saber from his waist, and slowly walked towards the giant rat. .
Yu Yi had been paying attention to the giant rat's every move and noticed something unusual. Before the postman could cut the rope with his knife, he kicked the giant rat in the head.
When he kicked it down, the giant rat screamed in pain, and the postman came back to his senses, looking around blankly with a puzzled look on his face.
"Be honest with me!" Big Head yelled angrily.
Changsheng originally wanted to try to communicate with the giant rat in order to learn more about the strange monsters. When he saw that the giant rat was still screaming in pain after being scolded by the big head, he guessed that the monster might not be able to understand human speech. Since you don’t understand, you naturally won’t be able to speak, fearing that it will be difficult to communicate.
After the giant rat gradually calmed down, Chang Sheng said in a cold voice, "Alien transformation people always have to practice Taoism for more than a hundred years. If you don't devote yourself to practice and gain enlightenment from the sky, but you cannibalize people and cause trouble in the world, you are really asking for your own death. "
Chang Sheng stared at the giant rat while speaking. Judging from the expression and demeanor of the giant rat, the giant rat could not understand what he said.
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, the giant rat showed no reaction, and Big Head shouted from the side, "Tell me, where is your home base? Do you have any accomplices?"
The big head suddenly made a sound, startling the giant rat, and then started fighting and struggling again.
At this moment, the woman who had lost her baby rushed over screaming and rushed to the giant rat like crazy, scratching and beating it.
Worried that the giant rat would hurt the woman, and also worried that the woman would untie the rope while fighting, Datou ran over and pulled the heartbroken woman away.
After Datou pulled the woman away, Changsheng turned to look at Yu Yi.
As soon as I realized it, I drew my sword and slashed, directly cutting off the head of the giant rat that was struggling fiercely.
The onlookers screamed and backed away. I shook my wrist and used strength to knock away the blood droplets attached to the blade, and returned it to its sheath.
The giant rat's blood was very smelly. Changsheng hated the smell, so he walked towards the gate of the inn. Big Tou also let go of the woman and followed quickly.
Yu Yi took out two taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the woman who had lost her child. "When the child was alive, he didn't have enough to eat and his life was precarious. This misfortune can be considered a relief. Let's buy a coffin so that he can be buried alive."
The woman burst into tears and could not express her gratitude in words, so she had to kneel down and kowtow.
Yu Yi had already walked towards the gate at this time. When he saw the woman kneeling down, he motioned to the postman at the gate to help her up.
The three of them returned to the inn, followed by the police from the headquarters, and each went back to his room.
It was the third watch when the incident occurred. It was only the fourth watch at this time, and it was still early before dawn. After returning to the house, Changsheng went to bed again and closed his eyes to rest.
This was not the first time that he encountered this kind of situation. Similar situations had already happened many times when he went to Gezao Mountain alone. He had seen it so much that it was no longer strange.
Although his eyes were closed, Changsheng did not fall asleep immediately. The phrase "When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters" lingered in his mind. The reason why he wanted to interrogate the rat spirit was because he hoped to find out who had become strange creatures by interrogating them. What is the pattern of their coming out to cause trouble? To put it bluntly, what is the reason that causes monsters to appear in large numbers? How do they sense that their country is about to perish?
No matter what happens, there are rules to follow, and national luck and luck are no exception. If we can interrogate these anomalies and find out the root causes that affect national luck and luck, can we make corrections and changes under the hood?
After thinking about it for a moment, I felt sleepy and my consciousness gradually blurred.
While half asleep and half awake, Changsheng suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. The footsteps were very light and the pace was very slow.
Changsheng was familiar with the footsteps of Yu Yi and Da Tou. The footsteps outside the door were not theirs, nor those of the policeman and the postman, because both the policeman and the postman were young, and young people walked very fast, while the footsteps outside the door The voice was soft and slow, he must be an old man.
Just when Changsheng was confused and wanted to listen carefully, he suddenly found that he couldn't move. His mind was clearly awake, but his body couldn't move.
Although a similar situation had never happened before, Changsheng knew that he was being possessed, because this feeling was exactly the same as what people in the world call being possessed.
Just when he was nervous and confused, the footsteps stopped in front of the door, and with a slow creaking sound, the door was pushed open...
