Seeing Fang Xiu knowingly asking questions and smiling playfully, Uncle Qian didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
This kid had clearly guessed that he was hiding next to him. At this time, he was clearly trying to squeeze on him, and he really deserved a beating.
Uncle Qian didn't want to talk to Fang Xiu. Besides, at this moment, the clone of the blue-skinned monster turned into blue smoke. I'm afraid it wouldn't exist for long.
It would be good if it could return to its true form. If they kept following it, they would definitely be able to find the true form of the blue-skinned monster.
But once the green smoke disappears, they may still have to spend some time to find the location of this strange thing.
Uncle Qian was already the fastest at this moment. He grabbed Cao Yiyi and Fang Xiu and completely caught up with the dissipating smoke.
However, not long after, Uncle Qian stopped with an ugly expression on his face.
The smoke has dispersed!
It's a pity that this green smoke cannot support it to return to its original form.
At this time, Fang Xiu made a haha in order to lighten the atmosphere.
"Uncle Qian, this clone is too inexperienced."
"It's not like you were too heavy-handed, and you didn't even notice the clone. If you had been gentler, maybe it would be able to support it until it returns to its original form."
When Fang Xiu heard this, he didn't take it seriously and felt a little confident.
"It's not like you still don't pass on all your true skills to me, so that I can't even see the clone of this weird thing at my half-full level."
When Uncle Qian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly glanced ahead.
"It stinks!"
Instantly, Uncle Qian couldn't help but frown.
Isn't this the smell of evil spirits smelled in Guo Yuan's residence?
Fang Xiu also raised his head at this time, because not only was there a foul smell, there was a familiar scent coming from the left, just like the clone of the strange thing from the deserted temple before.
Good guy!
The evil spirit and the strange thing were not found at first, but now they appeared at the same time.
The three of them, Uncle Qian, looked at each other and immediately had an idea.
The troops were divided into two groups.
This way you won't miss any of them.
However, this blue-skinned monster was much scarier than the evil spirit of the maid outside Guo Yuanwai, so although the three of them did not speak, they made a joint decision.
Qian Bo went to chase the blue-skinned monster, while Fang Xiu and Cao Yiyi cooperated with each other to chase the evil spirit from Guo Yuan's wife's house.
With Fang Xiu's strength, there shouldn't be any problems.
The worst case scenario is that Fang Xiu and the two are at a disadvantage, but they can still save their lives.
"Chase!"
In an instant, without any sloppiness, the three soldiers split into two groups and chased their respective targets.
………………
Fang Xiu and Cao Yiyi followed the smell and arrived at a deserted village. The villagers here must have moved out long ago.
However, after the two of them actually set foot in the village, they discovered that the village was even more dilapidated than they imagined.
In addition, it is windy and rainy tonight. Although the rain is lighter now than before, looking at the village from a distance, through the heavy rain curtain, makes it a bit unreal.
It wasn't until Fang Xiu and the two came closer that the veil woven by the heavy rain was lifted, and they were shocked to realize the desolation of the village.
At first glance, you can see either incomplete roofs or collapsed walls. Many large beams have rotted wood and even grown fungi.
The walls of the houses in the village were washed away by the rain at this time, and muddy water dripped down directly.
"ah……"
At this moment, a half-exclamation suddenly sounded, and Fang Xiu immediately looked back, only to find Cao Yiyi standing motionless with a straight face.
It turned out that under Cao Yiyi's feet, there was a withered corpse lying in the muddy water. Only one arm was kicked out and flew far away.
Fang Xiu didn't say a word. He walked over, picked up the arm bone, and put it back into the corpse's arms. It was best not to disturb the corpse of the deceased.
Fang Xiu then turned around and continued walking towards the village. Cao Yiyi also calmed down at this time and walked forward with him.
As they walked deeper into the village, they suddenly found many coffins placed inside, and these coffins were as dilapidated and decayed as the village.
The coffins under the half-collapsed roofs were okay, but the coffins directly exposed to the wind and rain were already covered with moss and weeds.
Even among the dark green moss and weeds, there were some black and withered hands and feet sticking out of the coffin.
Cao Yiyi's face couldn't help but stiffen, and you could clearly see the disgust in her eyes.
"What, do you feel uncomfortable?"
"No, these are just some dead people."
Cao Yiyi's answer was a bit pretentious. She was a girl after all, so she naturally felt uncomfortable with this kind of scene.
At this time, Cao Yiyi still stiffened her neck and defended, "I haven't seen any scenes when I was in Ye Zhensi in Kyoto, or even when I was the head catcher in Yong City. These are just small scenes!"
Finally, perhaps because she felt that what she just said was not convincing enough, Cao Yiyi directly added another sentence.
"Furthermore, in the battle of Fuso, we saw countless times more dead people than this!"
Fang Xiu did not refute. After all, what Cao Yiyi said was true, and this issue was not worthy of their continued exploration.
The two of them had already walked to the middle of the coffins and found that these were dead people. Although they looked horrible, there were no other abnormalities.
strangeness.
They clearly followed the smell of evil spirits, so why are there no abnormalities in these bones?
The two of them were not afraid and were ready to investigate again.
After all, how can they be afraid of the dead body? What they are afraid of is actually the thing outside the body.
Fang Xiu and the other two didn't say anything. They looked at each other and began to go their separate ways to look for traces of the evil spirit.
Soon after.
"Fang Xiu! Fang Xiu!"
Suddenly, Cao Yiyi called out in a low voice. Fang Xiu heard her call and immediately followed the sound and found Cao Yiyi.
"I found it."
Cao Yiyi couldn't help but excitedly pointed at a large house that looked intact and shouted.
Fang Xiu heard this and looked carefully in the direction of Cao Yiyi's fingers. This house was made of stone with blue tiles.
The thick door was tightly closed, the roof and walls were intact, and it stood out among the ruins, while a stench was faintly emanating from inside.
sharp!
This Cao Yiyi really has some skills as a night town guard, and she found the rightful owner so quickly in the wind and rain, among so many dilapidated ruins.
At this time, Fang Xiu marveled at his dazed effort. Cao Yiyi saw that Fang Xiu had already reacted, so she didn't waste any time and couldn't wait to push the door open and enter.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu also regained his alert look on his face and followed Cao Yiyi cautiously. If any abnormal situation occurs, he will take action immediately.
"Be careful."
Fang Xiu couldn't help but remind him.
"I know!"
Cao Yiyi said that she heard his reminder and was a little cautious in her movements. She didn't worry too much and walked into the house bravely.
As soon as she entered the house, Cao Yiyi looked left and right in the house, not daring to take it lightly for a moment. However, although there was the smell of evil spirits, there was actually nothing special in this house.
strangeness!
At this time, Fang Xiu didn't see the evil spirit hiding in it. Feeling disappointed, he began to carefully look at this only well-maintained house.
At this time, Fang Xiu looked at the furnishings of the house and confirmed that this house was the village's ancestral hall, because the table at the top was filled with spiritual tablets.
There are some lamp stands on both sides. Of course, the lamp oil on the lamp stands has dried up long ago, leaving only some brown stains, proving that this place was once glorious.
There was a hole on the roof near the door, which was previously blocked by the high wall of the deserted village. Neither of them noticed that this was also a somewhat damaged wall.
But from this point of view, although this ancestral hall seems a bit rare in a deserted village, there is nothing strange or unusual about it.
However, the only weird thing about the whole house is that there is a large stone platform in the center of the house. It is placed alone in the empty hall, which is a bit eye-catching and weird.
Cao Yiyi looked around, and finally looked at the big stone platform with great interest. She walked around it for a while, but found nothing wrong.
The two of them went out for a walk at this time and found that the evil spirit smell they just smelled was in this village.
But they couldn't find any abnormalities, which made people feel frustrated. What secrets were hidden here?
At this time, Fang Xiu heard a thunder in the sky and thought of the scene where the blue-skinned monster's clone appeared in the deserted temple.
Could it be that you need to relax your vigilance for them to appear?
Thinking of this, Fang Xiu couldn't help but speak directly, "Miss, it's getting late at this time, why don't we take a rest first?"
Cao Yiyi was also very alert. Although she didn't know the intention of Fang Xiu's words, she immediately cooperated with Fang Xiu because of her trust.
The two of them immediately prepared to rest. It happened that the stone platform was flat and of a suitable length and width, so it could be used as a bed.
Cao Yiyi seemed a little excited at this time, turned to Fang Xiu and said:
"That table belongs to me, why don't you make do with it first?"
Fang Xiu blinked a few times, feeling very pleased with Cao Yiyi's tacit understanding, and then said with a smile:
"Please, Miss."
………………
"Miss! Miss!!"
Cao Yiyi opened her eyes suddenly, only to find a big green face in front of her.
Just now she cooperated with Fang Xiu and pretended to sleep, but she didn't expect that she actually fell asleep and was woken up by a strange green thing.
She couldn't help but tremble, and in panic, she almost screamed, but her mouth was blocked by something strange, and even her hands were held down.
Cao Yiyi couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, but she also had a fierce personality. Although she couldn't move her hands, the true energy of the Night Traveler realm was about to explode.
"Calm down, young lady, look clearly, it's me!"
The green-faced monster shouted lowly, but the voice was very familiar. Cao Yiyi hurriedly stopped, looked carefully, and found that the monster turned out to be Fang Xiu.
Cao Yiyi stared at Fang Xiu blankly for a while, as if she hadn't woken up from the fright. Then she trembled her lips and said:
"You...how did you become a monster!?"
Looking at Fang Xiu's green face, Cao Yiyi was a little surprised. What happened when she lost consciousness just now?
"Miss, you are joking, I am still a human being, not a trick!"
Even though Fang Xiu had expected it, he was still a bit dumbfounded at this moment. He didn't expect that Cao Yiyi would think that she had turned into a monster.
At this time, he didn't care to say anything else, but raised his finger in front of his lips, making a silent gesture, and then pointed lightly around.
Cao Yiyi took a look and discovered that there were faint green lights burning on the lamp stands next to the spiritual tablets.
The green light danced, reflecting the entire ancestral hall room like a ghost.
And when she saw Fang Xiu's green face just now, it wasn't because he was dead and turned into a ghost, but because he was dyed by the green light.
Cao Yiyi's panic at this time calmed down a little. Fortunately, nothing happened to Fang Xiu, otherwise she might not be able to escape.
At this time, Cao Yiyi inadvertently raised her head and saw something staring at her from a small hole in the roof of the ancestral hall.
Thinking of this, Cao Yiyi couldn't help but shudder.
"There's...something's wrong here!"
Thinking that Fang Xiu woke him up, he must know something, but at this time Fang Xiu saw that Cao Yiyi had woken up, and he walked to the door of the ancestral hall.
Just at this time, Fang Xiu waved to her, and Cao Yiyi quickly walked over on tiptoe and couldn't help but whisper:
"you……"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Fang Xiu making a "shush" sound, signaling her not to speak, and then pointed to the gap in the door.
Cao Yiyi nodded silently, then followed Fang Xiu's direction and looked outside along the crack in the door of the ancestral hall.
At this time, the shower stopped, but for some reason a mist appeared in the village. The light of the turbid blood moon sprinkled down from the sky, illuminating the mist faintly.
What's even more terrifying is that there are a large group of figures in the fog, walking slowly outside the ancestral hall.
"What's going on?"
Cao Yiyi was a little confused and turned around to ask Fang Xiu softly. She vaguely felt that it was now the critical moment to find the evil spirit.
Fang Xiu did not answer, but pointed to the side outside the crack of the door. Cao Yiyi couldn't help but look in the direction he pointed.
There was a completely collapsed building. At this moment, one of the tattered coffins was lying among the ruins.
They had inspected this coffin before and there was nothing abnormal!
Sudden.
The coffin shook slightly, and the lid slowly slid down, revealing a shriveled corpse with its mouth open as if moaning silently.
Then I saw it standing up from the coffin, then shakily moving, and merged into the crowd in the fog before.
"This...this..."
When Cao Yiyi saw this, even though she was already a master in the realm of Night Traveler, her heart was already in her throat at this moment.
"This is..."
Then suddenly there was a slight rubbing sound in the back room, and Cao Yiyi felt that her heart was in her throat, and she was panicking.
Following the sounds coming from the room, she slowly turned around and found that the stone platform she had just been lying on had a crack.
………………
The large figures in the mist were all heading towards the ancestral hall, and then the door of the ancestral hall was slowly pushed open by them.
Immediately afterwards, the mist rushed in along with the large group of figures, and in an instant, the lampstand was blazing green.
As soon as the firelight shone, the fog in the ancestral hall dissipated, and those figures finally revealed their true appearance. Who are these people!
Their withered and yellow hair, shriveled torsos, and rotten clothing materials were all clearly visible, and they were clearly corpses that had just crawled out of the coffin!
This group of dead people stood neatly in the hall, separated into standing orders like living people, and then they all knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in front of the stone platform.
While the dead man was kowtowing, the stone platform suddenly vibrated, and with an unpleasant friction sound, the "table" of the stone platform slowly moved away.
At the same time, there was an inaudible movement on the beam above the stone platform.
It turned out that Fang Xiu and Cao Yiyi had just made a decisive decision and hid on the beam. When they saw the "stone platform" opened, they couldn't help but frown.
They had inspected this stone platform before and found nothing unusual, but the current situation was obviously unusual.
I was afraid that some evil spirit might really appear here. Cao Yiyi was worried and couldn't help but make a sound.
Fortunately, the movement of the stone platform being opened was not small, covering up the small sounds made by Fang Xiu and the others, so luckily no problem occurred.
The two of them stared closely at the "stone platform" that slowly opened. At this time, they saw another dead man clearly jumping out from inside.
It's just that this dead man seems to be richer than the dead monsters kneeling on the ground. Even his hair still has a little luster, and even his muscles, bones, skin and flesh still have some color of a living person.
Fang Xiu's face was heavy. He hadn't noticed anything unusual before. The strength of this strange thing was probably extraordinary.
Cao Yiyi's expression turned even colder. After all, she actually slept on top of a strange thing!
She couldn't help but give Fang Xiu a fierce look, and she didn't know whether he knew there was anything abnormal about the stone platform.
At this time, the strange stone object came out of the sarcophagus and closed the coffin again.
It stood behind the sarcophagus. When it raised its hand, all the dead creatures underneath stood up. Then it waved its hand, and several dead creatures walked out.
After a while.
Those dead and mysterious creatures returned to the ancestral hall, but Fang Xiu and Cao Yiyi couldn't help but shrink their pupils.
Because the dead creature brought in this time turned out to be a living person!
However, Fang Xiu and Cao Yiyi carefully inspected the entire ruined village before, and there was no living thing at all.
