Several chirpings of birds suddenly sounded in Wenzu Alley, cheering up the spirits of the night watchmen who were ambushing here.
Zhu Xiucai was looking up at the sky just a moment ago, muttering: "Isn't it going to rain when the dark clouds cover the moon? The clothes I changed after I was released from prison today are still hanging to dry."
After hearing the chirping of birds, his expression turned serious. He looked towards the direction where the 'cooing' sound came from and whispered: "Coming?"
Qin Shaoyou and Cui Youwei did not speak, but nodded slightly, and like Zhu Xiucai, looked quietly in the direction where the "cuckoo" sound came from.
It turns out that these 'cooing' sounds are not real birds, but a special warning mechanism of the night watchman.
Qin Shaoyou had people set up this kind of mechanism at several must-pass places in Wenzu Alley early on. Once something comes and goes around it, he will activate it and let it make a sound similar to that of a bird to warn.
However, Qin Shaoyou and the others who were lying on the roof heard the warning sound of "Gu Gu", but they tried their best to open their eyes wide, but they did not see any sign of the monster.
Zhu Xiucai blinked his eyes and rubbed his hands again, but still saw nothing.
He couldn't help but feel a little confused. He poked Cui Youying next to him with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "Old Taoist, have you seen where the monster is? Why didn't I see anything?"
Cui Youyou shook his head gently: "I didn't see it either, and I didn't even notice the ghost's aura."
Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but frown: "Could it be that the ghost didn't come and the warning mechanism was accidentally triggered?"
Cui Youyou also had such suspicions, but before he could speak, Qin Shaoyou suddenly made a 'silence' gesture towards them, and then pointed to a direction in Wenzu Alley, indicating that the two of them should go there.
look.
Cui Youyou and Zhu Xiucai quickly cheered up and looked in the direction of his finger.
But they looked left and right and still saw nothing.
Zhu Xiucai turned his head and looked at Qin Shaoyou with a blank expression.
Qin Shaoyou had no choice but to remind in a low voice: "Look at the ground, there is a piece of 'turf' moving."
Land?
Cui Youyou and Zhu Xiucai were both stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Qin Shaoyou's finger again.
Qin Shaoyou whispered the directions for them: "Close to the street on the right, coming towards the alley, there is a pile of fallen leaves in front, and we just passed a pawn shop..."
Under Qin Shaoyou's guidance, Cui Youyi and Zhu Xiucai indeed saw a piece of "land" that was moving.
This piece of 'land' is perfectly integrated with the street surface in Wenzu Alley. In addition, after the moon is obscured by dark clouds, the surrounding light is dim, making it difficult to detect its existence.
If it weren't for Qin Shaoyou's talent for [eyesight], his ability to observe the subtleties, and his ability to see things that ordinary people can't see, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed this piece of 'territory'.
And if it weren't for Qin Shaoyou's guidance, Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai and others would have to wait until this piece of 'turf' moved under their feet before they could realize something was wrong.
If that time really comes, it will be dangerous...
"The earth can actually turn into spirit?"
After Zhu Xiucai was surprised, he couldn't help but marveled.
Even though he is well-informed and has heard that stones, trees, and even horns can turn into spirits, he has never heard that land can turn into spirits.
Zhu Xiucai first flattered Qin Shaoyou, praising him for his sharp eyesight and his ability to detect monsters even if they were hidden like this.
Then he asked Cui Yougui: "Old Taoist, what's going on with that 'land'? Is it an escape technique or an illusion? It can't really be that the land becomes a spirit, right?"
Cui Yougui replied: "It's probably not an escape or illusion, because I didn't feel the fluctuations of the demonic energy. It doesn't look like the earth becomes a spirit. It's possible that the demon has some special talent that allows it to perfectly integrate with the ground."
.When I was traveling before, I encountered a butterfly demon. It had a special talent. It could turn itself into the appearance of a dead tree and leaves, just like the real thing. Once this butterfly demon escaped into the forest, its eyesight would
Even the best masters are hard to find."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "A butterfly monster with the talent of transforming into a dead tree and a dead leaf? Couldn't this be a monster cultivated by the dead leaf butterfly? If you put it that way, this one in the alley can compete with
Could it be that the demons and ghosts that merged with the surrounding environment are chameleons? Aren’t chameleons distributed in the tropics? Why are they here? And why do they suck human blood, imprison their souls, and judge people’s crimes?”
Qin Shaoyou was just making wild guesses when Zhu Xiucai came close to his ear and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you want to do something?"
"Don't worry, let's take a look later."
Qin Shaoyou shook his head gently.
He was afraid that this moving piece of 'land' was not the demon itself. After all, even Cui Yougui had not sensed the demonic energy from it. If the demon brought it as a means of probing or investigating, wouldn't it be a mistake to act rashly?
Secondly, although they also set traps in Wenzu Alley, the main traps are still concentrated in Xiang Piaopiao's residence.
Regardless of whether this piece of 'land' is the demon itself or the spy's method, it will definitely go to Xiangpiaopiao's residence.
Because Lai Cha and others were there at the moment, the demons smelled their scent and wanted to rush over to judge them.
After 'Di Di' enters Xiang Piaopiao's residence, his identity will be determined.
If it is really the demon itself, it will not be too late to take action at that time, and it can also ensure that there will be no accidents in the action.
Afraid that someone might be unable to hold back, Qin Shaoyou whispered again: "Pass this on, so that everyone can obey the order and not act rashly!"
"Yes." Zhu Xiucai accepted the order, quietly slipped off the roof, and disappeared into the darkness to convey Qin Shaoyou's order to his companions.
After a while, Zhu Xiucai returned to the roof.
And that piece of 'land' has already arrived in the alley.
It didn't notice Qin Shaoyou and others lying on the roof nearby, and moved straight to the door of Xiang Piaopiao's residence, and then slowly stood up.
As it stood up, the mimetic effect disappeared, and the 'land' revealed its true appearance - it turned out to be a wooden sign.
This made Qin Shaoyou and others lying on the roof stunned.
They had speculated on various scenarios, but they never thought that the 'land' would be a wooden sign.
How come wooden signs have the ability to mimic?
Just as they were surprised, they saw the erected wooden sign slowly floating up again, and a figure floated out from the wooden sign and stood in the alley.
This is a woman with a graceful figure, especially her pair of pectoralis major muscles, which are extremely large.
Her appearance is not bad either, and her beauty also has a bit of charming charm that makes people remember her at a glance, and even remember her deeply.
Zhu Xiucai's expression changed slightly after seeing this woman.
Because the woman and the wooden sign were in the alley below, he did not say anything this time, but lip-synced to Qin Shaoyou and Cui Youxian.
"The fragrance is delicious!"
Qin Shaoyou read these three words from Zhu Xiucaibi's mouth movements.
Xiang Piaopiao's soul was indeed imprisoned and enslaved!
And now that Xiang Piaopiao's soul has appeared, the wooden sign below is undoubtedly the monster that took her life!
Qin Shaoyou's eyes were fixed on the wooden sign, wanting to see clearly what it was.
After releasing Xiang Piaopiao's soul, the wooden sign stopped floating, slowly fell, and was inserted into Xiang Piaopiao's back.
This look reminded Qin Shaoyou of the death row prisoners on the execution ground.
When a condemned prisoner is beheaded, not only will his hands be tied behind his back with a rope, but a wooden plaque will also be inserted into his back.
The prisoner's name and crime will be written on the wooden sign. A large circle will be drawn with cinnabar and the word "Behead" will be written inside.
This sign is called the Death Sign among the people, but officially it is called the Guilin Sign!
So, is this murderous ghost actually a spirit made from guilty cards?
This can explain why this monster likes to pronounce crimes before killing people.
But at the same time, new questions also emerged in Qin Shaoyou's mind.
Most of the guilty cards are one-time use, so how can they become monsters?
