255. Shadow Murder (1/2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"It's weird--it's weird!!!"

The screams pierced the silent village and then stopped abruptly.

The shadow covering the three people beside the fire,

Suddenly it spreads around!

then,

The three thieves wrapped in the shadow were also forced to stretch their limbs because the shadow sticking to them spread out in all directions - they struggled to stretch - and were eventually torn apart by the shadow at the same time.

Blood spilled everywhere,

Broken limbs and broken bodies were scattered in a messy manner.

Three people died at the same time!

The shadows regrouped into vague human shapes,

This figure is missing its right hand.

——The hand of the zombie ghost that Su Wu initially accommodated was a right arm.

It always grew out of his right armpit.

now,

He summoned the power of the ghoul's hand,

Condensing this shadow figure,

But only the right hand is missing.

This seems to contain some symbolic meaning,

It shows that Su Wu’s ‘Ghost Hand’ is always a mutilated ghost.

The shadow appears and I don’t know where I am.

But as long as Su Wu uses the power of the corpse ghost hand frequently enough, it will still randomly appear somewhere around Su Wu and start chasing Su Wu.

And the real corpse ghost,

It's still in the secret realm now.

Su Wu knew where it was - after all, he had transferred history, and everything in the simulation of the hidden realm had overlapped with reality.

He witnessed the death of 'Guangfa' in the simulation,

Guangfa Boneyard,

This is where the 'Zi Tuo Ghost - Master of the Corpse Forest' is located.

Only Su Wu truly accommodated these two tricksters,

Only the shadow human form condensed by him will be complete.

However, these two monsters are very scary,

In the simulation, the Master of the Corpse Forest showed that he had the power to rival the Mother of Evils. It must be a desolate level of evil.

In the past, Su Wu suspected that Yinggui was a ferocious Ligui.

Its killing pattern is relatively easy to circumvent.

But after Yinggui chased him several times, his belly gradually grew bigger, as if he was pregnant - this gave Su Wu new doubts.

Shadow Cree is probably also a Fierce Cree that exceeds the 'ferocious level'.

Its specific level is unknown.

so,

Now the shadow of my own fierce and strange power is condensed,

The ones that are incomplete are also incomplete.

After all, it is the power at your disposal.

The black liquid on the dark figure squirmed and condensed into a python,

He swallowed the salted chickens, ducks, and piglets hanging on the shelf and dragged them into the shadow world.

These livestock cannot be taken away and raised in Heifeng Village. After all, these thieves have no fixed abode. Today they are eating and drinking happily, but tomorrow the officers and soldiers will have to pack up and run away. Where can I find the time to raise chickens, ducks and pigs?

sheep,

It is extremely difficult to raise several mules and horses.

But they didn't waste it. After slaughtering it, they were about to make it into cured meat and take it away.

Everything is cheaper now Su Wu.

The mutilated figure passed by the still bubbling cauldron,

A cold and mysterious rhyme covers the past,

The water in the cauldron suddenly became cold,

The firewood under the pot suddenly went out, as if the burning wood was buried in the soil and turned into charcoal.

A gap appeared in the figure's chest,

follow closely,

Cui Yulan's head poked out from the shadows,

Half of her body then squeezed out of the shadow, and she broke away from the figure. She looked at the figure behind her who was missing her right arm with lingering fear, and saw that the blurred facial contour of the figure gradually became clearer.

Su Wu's face is clear in black and white, and her cold eyes are revealed from her face.

He looked at her and said, "Look to see if there are any living people around.

Chase that woman back,

Give her a change of clothes."

talking,

The shadow stretched out his hand and held out a bright knife.

"Hold it for self-defense."

"Yes." Cui Yulan responded quickly, looking beyond the shadows and looking at the naked woman running away in panic - that was her familiar sister-in-law Zhaodi.

She spread her long legs,

Go after the opponent immediately.

"sly?

Where is the trick?!"

"Where is the trick!"

"Second brother!"

At this time,

A burst of noisy shouts and footsteps came from the alley to the east.

More than a dozen men of different heights, sizes, and weights, but with their clothes more or less stained with blood, ran out of the alley.

At a glance, they saw Cui Yulan chasing after ‘Sister-in-law Zhaodi’.

The joy has not yet appeared on his face,

Then I saw the dark figure standing next to the cold iron pot again,

The gangsters' scalps went numb,

Someone screamed: "Oh my god, it's really weird!"

"Run, run, run!"

"Run!"

The bandits were panicking,

I immediately wanted to run away - however, some people ran to the left, some ran to the right, some moved forward, some retreated, so they were all huddled together, like a group of rats in the sewer with their tails entangled with each other!

Gala!

The figure without a right arm turned to face them,

There is still dark liquid squirming on it,

The huge black python extended from its body and spread out in an instant,

Cover all the gangsters!

Gala, Gala, Gala!

The heads of the group of bandits were covered by shadows, and they were lifted into the air.

Their legs kept kicking and struggling!

But the head is firmly covered by the shadow python!

About a minute later,

The legs of these bandits hang straight down,

There was no movement.

The shadow python suddenly retracted,

Corpses with bulging eyes and extended tongues fell to the ground.

The figure blends into the ground instantly,

disappeared without a trace,

And the screams of bandits began to be heard from all over Shili Village.



About a moment passed,

Shilihe Village became extremely quiet.

The crows sitting on the dead branches fled,

The thieves and bandits wandering around the villages and plundering money fell to death one after another.

Su Wu sat cross-legged at the entrance of the village,

A piece of rag was spread in front of me,

He put the copper coins and other valuable items he had collected from the thieves on rags.

Copper coins were sparsely spread out on the rags,

There are about a thousand pieces,

That is always money.

In addition,

There was also a copper ring, a pair of copper bracelets, and a jade buckle—all of which were worth very little.

He tied the rags into a small bundle,

Left to the custody of the shadow python squirming beneath my feet,

At this time,

A pitiful cry came from the distance,

Cui Yulan pulled a platoon cart,

Sister-in-law Zhaodi, who was almost insulted by the bandits, was pushing the cart behind, and the two women were crying all the way.

There were several corpses wrapped in straw mats in the car.

They are all the bodies of their family members who were killed in the bandit attack.

Several crows howled in the distance,

to the wail of a woman,

It seems that the village below is getting more and more desolate.

Su Wu said nothing and let the two of them push the cart forward.

Get out of the village.

He holds a burning stick and throws flames everywhere,

The whole village was surrounded by raging fires,

The sky burned bright red.

Su Wu helped the two women bury their parents, husbands, and parents-in-law.

He first looked at Zhaodi, a woman who had lost her husband.

The other party is not old,

Only twenty-three or four years old,

At this age in later generations, I have just stepped out of society,

And at the moment,

But he has already experienced all kinds of hardships.

"Where do you want to go next, sister-in-law? Do you still have parents and family that you can go to?" Su Wu asked Zhao Di.

Zhaodi had just experienced a disaster,

Nowadays, I am always full of fear towards strange men.

Even though this thin young man seemed to be a good person and helped her bury her parents-in-law and husband, she was still very afraid of Su Wu and did not dare to say anything.

She hid in the arms of Cui Yulan, who was much younger than her and had tears on her face.

"He's asking you something, sister-in-law.

I remember your natal family is in Dashiqiao Village?

Why don't we send you to your parents' house later?" Cui Yulan felt extremely sad when she saw the miserable corpses of her parents, but she suppressed her emotions and gently stroked Sister-in-law Zhaodi's back and whispered softly.

Comfort her.

"Send, take me back to my parents' home..."

Sister-in-law Zhaodi murmured to herself,

As soon as your eyes are closed,

Suddenly two lines of tears flowed down: "Yeah, it's okay, just go back to your parents' house..."

Although she promised so,

But Su Wu knew as soon as he heard it,

Returning to her parents' house didn't seem like a good place for her.

How is this going?

Su Wu frowned.

Cui Yulan patted Zhaodi's back. Seeing Su Wu's confused eyes, she beckoned him to come closer and whispered to him: "The years are not good, and Dashiqiao Village is also relatively poor...

She returned to her parents' home,

If the situation is better, my parents can arrange marriage again.

If the situation is not good, you may die because of your observance..."

What is meant by ‘die in righteousness’?

A woman who has no food, no water, and no support from her natal family,

I can only commit suicide by myself,

Earn a good reputation for your mother's family.

The government built a memorial arch for it, and my parents' family also got some money.

Su Wu understood what Cui Yulan meant.

He nodded,

Looking at Sister-in-law Zhaodi,

After thinking in silence for a while,

Suddenly he said: "Sister-in-law, we can't stay here any longer."

When he said this, he meant to drive the other party away.

Zhaodi was frightened after hearing this.

But I also know my integrity,

She broke away from Cui Yulan's arms and pursed her lips: "I, I know the way back to my parents' home. Thank you brave man for the rescue. I will go home by myself. I will just go home by myself..."

She was talking,

He had to kneel down and kowtow to thank Su Wu.

Su Wu stopped her,

He said directly: "Next, we have to go to the surrounding mountains and deal with all the bandits.

After finishing this matter, it will probably be dusk.

My sister-in-law can’t continue to follow us.

In order to avoid shocking you, it is not good to splatter your blood when killing someone."

He was talking,

He took out a few hundred dollars and handed it to Zhao Di: "Sister-in-law, why don't you take this money yourself and see where you can find a way to make a living?"

"Are you going to kill those bandits in Heifeng Village?" Zhao Di did not accept the string of copper coins handed to her by Su Wu. She raised her oval face and stared at Su Wu's face closely.

Now there was no fear in her eyes.

Instead, there was a fire burning.

"yes."

Su Wu nodded and shook the bunch of copper coins in his hand: "So my sister-in-law should take advantage of the dawn and leave on her own. These few hundred dollars will be my gift to my sister-in-law."

A bad premonition arose in his heart,

I always feel like I shouldn’t talk like this,

It may produce unintended consequences.

really--

Zhaodi still didn't accept the money he handed over. She just knelt down and kowtowed to him: "Zhaodi is willing to go to Heifeng Village with the warrior to avenge her late husband!"

"Although I am not as strong as a man,

But it can also pull a plow to cultivate the land,

Grinding rice!

You can always help the strong men!"

Su Wu fell silent after hearing this.

After having dinner with Master and others this morning,

He, Gou Sheng, and the mute girl have all become official disciples of the Yinxi lineage.

He himself is the elder brother of Kitchen King Shenyin Ximai.

So I hope that there will be more men under my sect, so that in the future, I can imprison the weirdos, open temples and set up stoves, and there will always be someone who can share the workload.

But judging from the current situation,

The reality gradually diverged from what he expected.

Yin Xi Yin Xi, is there something wrong with the name of this lineage?
