When Li Jiujiu raised his eyes and looked under the umbrella, he saw the woman with a cold tone, her face covered with a jade rabbit mask that did not match her temperament.
The mask looked a bit old, with a slightly yellowish tint on the surface, but it was extremely well preserved.
Neither the edges of the mask nor the two easily foldable ears that stand up are damaged at all, and it looks like it is deeply cherished by its owner.
Although he didn't know what kind of face he had under the mask, Li Jiujiu saw a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
Her eyes were very light, just like her, light and clear, clearly within reach but out of reach.
Kachen and Yeliang both stood up from their chairs.
Ye Lian first took a deep look at the woman holding the umbrella, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said, "Why does A Jing have such strong murderous intent?"
She hadn't seen her so abnormal for a long time.
Li Jiujiu glanced at the expressionless woman holding the umbrella with a strange look on his face, not feeling any murderous intent or danger.
The cold woman did not answer, but a faint voice came from under the mask: "Doing business."
Ye Lian smiled slightly, squatted down towards the woman Sanniang who was lying twisted on the ground, stretched out a slender finger, and casually touched the center of her eyebrows.
After closing her eyes for three breaths, she said: "Well...it's just a fierce ghost with a lingering resentment."
As he spoke, his fingers left her eyebrows.
Sanniang's ferocious expression suddenly froze, and a wisp of black mist essence seemed to be magically stuck to her finger, pulling away from her body.
Soon, she was like a deflated rubber ball, her limbs fell limply to the ground, and she passed out with a pale face.
The fierce ghost was hooked on the index finger by the leaf curtain, like a snake pinched seven inches, and its breath was weak and difficult to move.
She swung it casually and threw it towards Kachen: "He is not strong, but his resentment is very strong. He is a poor man. Let's get rid of him."
Kachen had a compassionate smile on his face, clasped his hands together, and hung the rosary beads on his palms. The yin body suddenly condensed in front of his eyebrows, and he recited the scripture silently.
Seeing the dark body filled with evil and violent aura, the pitch-black color gradually dissipated and turned into a pure white color, taking on the appearance of a young girl. Her eyebrows were peaceful, her eyes were closed and she bowed deeply to Kachen.
present.
As Kachen's eyes opened, a ray of sacred golden light penetrated his pupils, and the girl's soul was carried by a strange force and floated towards the west.
Seeing such a magical scene, Li Jiujiu and his senior sister were already stunned.
Senior sister Huang Ying asked curiously: "Which eminent monk is this? The soul-transferring Buddhism has reached its peak."
Li Jiujiu also showed admiration and said quickly: "I have offended you a lot just now. Please forgive me for my blindness, little girl."
Kachen watched the girl's soul leave and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be a senior monk. I am just a young monk from Jialuo Temple."
"Jialuo Temple?" Li Jiujiu looked suspicious, thinking that there seemed to be no such force in the ancient Xianmen Temple today.
"Is it time for greetings now?" The cold voice was as light as a cold spring. It sounded very pleasant but gave people an inexplicable chilling feeling.
She casually discarded the white paper umbrella in her hand, and the raindrops fell on the umbrella. Even though no one could see her in full, her movements in the dim light of the night gave people a thrilling sense of beauty.
She is dressed in unadorned white clothes, yet it is pleasing to the eye.
But facing such a beauty, Li Jiujiu didn't dare to look at her any longer. Instead, the hairs all over her body stood up for no reason, and she felt cold from the inside out.
After Kachen walked to the counter, he who had just been praised as an eminent monk actually opened a jar of Nuerhong without asking.
He sighed: "The Huadiao wine in this city really smells bad. It smells exactly like the rotting corpses in the river west of the city. It's really disgusting."
The younger brother who was huddled in the corner suddenly showed his face. Even though he was in awe of the monk's method of dealing with evil spirits, when it came to the reputation of the hotel, he still couldn't help but stand up and explain angrily:
"Is it possible that this master has a weak nose? Our city, Xihe, is famous for its wine, and this daughter's red is the only treasure among them.
Once the jar is opened, no matter how deep the alley is, it can't cover up the aroma of the wine. If you don't like the aroma of the wine, that's it. Why would the wine and the river be buried together like this? How can the river in the west of the city smell like corpses?!
"
"Really?" Jia Chen smiled half-heartedly: "What do you think of Miss Li?"
What else could Li Jiujiu think? She was now extremely shocked.
She looked stunned: "How...how did you know about this?"
Kachen said that there were indeed rotten corpses in the river west of the city, and there was definitely more than one.
But the discovery of the rotting corpse was only three sticks of incense ago, and it was she and her senior sister who discovered something strange in the river with their own eyes. She could ensure that... she and her senior sister were the only two people at that time.
The news was blocked before it had time to spread.
How did he know?
Three days ago, the disciples of the Lihe Sect were entrusted by the Lord of the City at the foot of the mountain. There was something evil at work in Xihe City, and a young girl had disappeared this year.
It's just that the time between the disappearances of the girls in the first few years was not too short, and the officials only thought it was the work of human traffickers.
However, in recent days, cases of missing girls have become more frequent. The city lord has blocked the city gates and placed tight security, and vigorous searches have yielded no results.
What's even more bizarre is that some of those girls clearly don't leave their homes and are strictly guarded by their families in their boudoirs.
But despite this, those girls were still able to disappear into their homes in extremely strange ways.
This act of committing crimes against the wind completely angered the lord of Xihe City.
So the city lord submitted a piece of revised book to the Lihe Sect.
Xihe City has worshiped the Lihe Sect with human incense and religious power for many years. When this city suffered a disaster, the Lihe Sect could not stand by and watch.
Since Li Jiujiu separated from Bai Lian last time, it was no longer difficult for his Taoist mind to enter a state of concentration and cultivation, so he took the initiative to ask for help and went down the mountain.
The old sect master thought that a mortal city was haunted by ghosts, but his beloved daughter had already reached the Kaiyuan realm. In addition, she had gained a lot in the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, so even with those treasures to protect her, she would not be able to do anything.
If something serious happened, she would be left alone.
Li Jiujiu, who was as good at wine as his father, did not stay in the city lord's mansion after coming down from the mountain. Instead, he was warmly invited by the most famous wine shop merchant in Xihe City and moved into the east wing of his mansion.
Today I just investigated with my senior sister, and based on various clues, we found the river in the west of the city.
What is shocking is that in just a few sticks of incense, a large number of corpses of young girls appeared in the river, floating one after another like water from a sluice.
What's even weirder is that the corpse stench is clearly towering, and the body is rotten and dilapidated, but each corpse has not been dyed red in the river water, as if the blood has been drained out by something.
Li Jiujiu and Huang Ying set up a formation to keep strangers away, and isolated the corpses in the river. They were about to start the next step of the investigation, but they met several of them when they returned here. If you like Long Night Journey, please collect it: (www
