"Evil, evil evil! Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
Chief Qiu screamed, and the officers quickly drew their knives and surrounded him.
At this time, Cao Li, who was holding a seven-ring sword, did not forget to move the iron ring on the back of the sword in the same direction.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is at an advanced stage and there is no hope.
Looking away from Cao Li, Jiang Wuji said calmly: "It's just the wind..."
After a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Under Cao Li's arrangement, everyone performed their duties, collecting firewood to light the fire, sharing grain to feed the horses, etc.
When it gets completely dark, the trees in the forest begin to sway in the same direction, and their dense branches and leaves rustle.
Master Qiu was lying on the wicker chair and had fallen asleep. However, he changed his position and was not in the temple. Instead, he asked the guards to build a simple shed.
"Crack crack crack"
The bonfire was swaying, and Jiang Wuji, his sister, and Cao Li were all sitting by the bonfire to keep warm.
As for the officers, some of them dispersed to keep watch overnight, some slept on the carriages, and some of them guarded the main register.
"Little Taoist Master, the Yin Temple you mentioned before..." Cao Li couldn't help but ask about the evening.
Jiang Wuji did not answer, after all, it was his nonsense, so he asked: "Since Mr. Cao is so afraid of evil spirits, isn't there anyone capable in the Yamen?"
"I understand what the little Daoist means. In fact, in larger places, the court will arrange some extraordinary people to help, or the magistrate will find some capable people in the local area to serve as worshippers. But our Yong'an County is too small, and martial arts are easy to find.
, Strangers are hard to find..." Cao Li looked helpless.
"What are you going to do about the zombies in Qingyu Mountain?" Jiang Wuji asked.
"What else can be done?"
Cao Li sighed and said, "Actually, my brother also works in the Inspection Department. Like me, he is a ninth-grade martial artist."
"I escorted the chief clerk to Lecheng, while my brother investigated the demon's exorcism. But I estimate that as long as the demon stops causing trouble, this matter will be settled. It's a pity that the people of Qingyu Village have escaped the plague.
, but failed to escape the poisonous hands of the demon, alas..."
"But according to my guess, since this monster chose a remote place to loot property, he must not be very strong! If I can catch him, I will cut him into pieces!"
Jiang Zhiyu, who was holding Jiang Wuji's arm, couldn't help but tighten his hands.
Sensing the change in Xiaoyu, Jiang Wuji stretched out his other hand and gently shook the catkin.
"Get some sleep, I'm here, don't worry."
The girl's dark eyes flickered slightly, and finally she nodded, quietly leaning on Jiang Wuji's shoulder and closing her eyes.
…
As the flames of the campfire grew smaller and smaller, the surrounding darkness grew deeper and deeper.
Jiang Wuji, who was sitting cross-legged and breathing, opened his eyes and wanted to add some firewood, but he later realized that what he had added before was the last firewood.
Looking at the swaying flames, Jiang Wuji said heartily: I hope I can hold on until dawn.
And at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye!
"who!"
Jiang Wuji drew out his copper coin sword and looked at him like a hawk.
About thirty meters away, there is a figure. Because the light is too dark, it is impossible to see the person's true appearance. Only a vague outline can be seen.
But from the outline, you can already tell that it's not the person on your side!
"Little fish! Little fish!"
Jiang Wuji stared at the strange shadow and wanted to wake up Xiaoyu, but he shouted several times but didn't get any response.
"Cao Li!"
"Cao Li!!"
"Qiu Weiliang!"
"Where are the people! Have they all slept to death?"
Jiang Wuji looked back at the place where Xiaoyu had just slept, only to find that there was no one there at all!
Not only that, Cao Li, the chief secretary, the servants, and even the carriage were gone! There was nothing but a pile of extinguished bonfires and a ruined temple!
Suddenly, a feeling like a light on my back arose spontaneously.
Jiang Wuji didn't even think about it, he slashed behind him with his sword, and at the same time, he used his feet to retreat into the ruined temple!
The sword just struck didn't hit anything, but the darkness swallowed up the bonfire and the carriage like a tide. The strange figure was still there, but quietly moved its position with the darkness.
Jiang Wuji stared at the black shadow, thinking about how to deal with it.
But at this moment, a cold breath fell on the back of the neck without any warning!
Jiang Wuji immediately turned around, only to find that there was a clay statue in this empty temple!
Headless and four hands! Exactly the same as the clay statue in the hut on the back mountain!
How could this happen? How could the clay statue enshrined by the village chief appear here?!
Is this clay statue alive? Otherwise, what happened to that snort just now?!
There was no time to think too much when a familiar voice suddenly came from the darkness.
"Don't panic, disciple, my master will help you exorcise evil spirits..."
"Village chief? Qing Xuanzi?! No! Zhang Fugui!!!"
Just when Jiang Wuji was about to risk his life, he suddenly felt heart palpitations!
The bonfire appeared in front of me again, but the flames did not go out.
Jiang Wuji swallowed and found that he was already sweating.
After looking at Xiaoyu who was sleeping on his shoulder and Cao Li who was snoring like thunder beside him, Jiang Wuji let out a long breath.
"I actually had a nightmare..."
"I never imagined that dreams can happen in this world, and they can be so scary."
"Brother..." The girl's eyes were sleepy and her voice was soft.
"Brother, you should also take a nap, I'll watch over you."
Jiang Wuji stretched out his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of the girl's mouth, and joked: "You look so ugly when you sleep."
"Ah, brother~" The girl covered her face shyly, wishing she could crawl into the cracks in the ground.
At this moment, Jiang Wuji looked towards the woods as if on conditioned reflex.
In the place where the bonfire could not illuminate, a strange figure was facing them...
"Evil!"
Jiang Wuji's voice was like a thunder on the ground, instantly waking everyone up from their sleep.
"Where is it! Where is it!"
Cao Li and several other officers hurriedly came to Jiang Wuji's side.
When they followed Jiang Wuji's gaze, their faces suddenly turned green and white!
"Evil, evil spirits..."
"The evil spirit is coming!!!"
The black figure staggered out of the darkness, completely exposing itself to everyone's sight.
There is a hole in the opponent's chest, only half of his face is left, and you can even see wriggling maggots!
And the moment he saw the other party's appearance clearly, Jiang Wuji's pupils shrank hard!
Immediately afterwards, he immediately covered Xiaoyu's mouth that was about to murmur!
