Chapter 147: Exploring the Mortuary at Night
In the middle of the night, I quietly flew out from Niu's house, and swept towards the south of Shankou Village, and after a while, I jumped onto the branch of a big tree, and looked at a dilapidated courtyard in the south of the village, in the dim light, I saw a low cherry tree planted in the dilapidated courtyard, this is the old man's home, the old man told me that as long as I see a cherry tree in a small courtyard, it must be the old girl's home.
In fact, I still have a way to judge whether it is Lao Lao'er's house, that is, just look at the door, Deacon Yan sent two of his disciples to guard at the gate of Lao Lao'er's courtyard, I looked up, and sure enough, someone was at the door, but I saw a person. The other person couldn't see it, and after thinking about it, I immediately flew down from the branch and jumped up on the roof of the old man, and now I could see that it was indeed two disciples guarding there, but one of them was asleep against the wall.
The other disciple was also staggering and napping, I smiled and shook my head, so undutiful, if Lao Yu'er came back at this time, even if he bit them to death, they may not know how. But when I was about to jump into the courtyard, I accidentally stepped on the roof tile and smashed a piece of it, and a crisp sound of "pop" came out, and I saw the disciple Huo Di standing at the door standing up straight, and at this moment, I dodged away in horror!
In the blink of an eye, I hid in the alley outside the courtyard wall, but fortunately, I practiced the Spirit Void Walk, otherwise it would be impossible for me to teleport outside and hide in such a quick time. At this moment, the disciple standing outside turned his head to look into the courtyard, and in a panic flew up and kicked the other person who was sleeping, and the other person jumped up in an instant, and shouted in shock: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" What happened?! ”
As he spoke, he was about to draw his sword, but the disciple who kicked him waved his hand to stop his movements, and whispered, "I just heard movement in the courtyard!" Why don't you check it out? ”
"There's movement? Isn't the old slipper back?! ”
The disciple seemed to swallow his saliva, glanced at it, hurriedly retracted his head, and then slapped his companion again: "You, why don't you go in?" You found it first, you should go in and check it out, I'll help you at the door! As he spoke, he turned to the outside, with a look on his face.
The companion disciple dragged him back, and said angrily: "You were sleeping just now, and I was guarding it alone, now it's time for you to behave, or you go!" ”
Looking at their pushing and shouting, I couldn't help but smile, this kind of timid look is really like when I first entered the Taoist apprenticeship, and I was also scared everywhere. Soon, the lazy disciple said timidly, "Why don't we both go in together?" To be honest, I, I'm a little scared...... The old man bit two villagers after defrauding the corpse, although he was rescued without biting to death, but it was too scary, in short, I didn't dare to go in alone. ”
"I, I'm ...... too"
The other disciple swallowed his saliva and spoke his heart. Then, the two of them sneaked into the courtyard, but when they reached the door of the hall, they didn't dare to take any more than half a step forward, and one of them hurriedly said, "It seems that there is nothing, do you see anything?" Hearing his words, the lazy disciple hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he hadn't seen it, and the disciple continued, "Then what are we doing here?" Let's guard the gate outside, the main thing is that we can always slip away in case there is a movement! ”
"Yes, yes!"
As soon as the two of them combined, they hurriedly ran out and continued to guard the gate in style. I smiled quietly, waited a long time, and saw that they had begun to nap again, and then I came to the courtyard in three steps and two steps, and then I gently pushed the door open, and then went into the house, and closed the door. I turned around and looked outside through the crack in the door, and I was relieved to see that they hadn't noticed.
As soon as I turned around, Huo Di saw a hanging rope appear in front of me, which scared me all over my body, but fortunately I didn't shout, and exhaled a deep breath, I shook my head, and said that people are timid, and I was also taken aback. It's just that this sudden sight caught me off guard, and when I relaxed, I calmed down again, quietly opened the eye of the sky, and the dim room instantly became brighter.
I glanced up at the upper rope hanging from the beam, could it be that this was used by the old slipper? That's not right! If he hanged himself, then how could the old man say that he was bitten to death by a zombie? According to the old man, after he was bitten, he ran home and died in the end. After his death, the villagers buried him, and in the process, he shouldn't have had a chance to hang himself, if he knew that he was going to die, how could he do it again?
Then this hanging rope is difficult to explain......
Then, I looked down and scanned around, and found that there was a trace of blood on the ground in front of the place where the god case was placed, and when I bent over to look at it, the blood stains were black. But there is no sign of clotting on this bloodstain, no, this is not human blood, this is corpse blood! Seeing this, I stood up and looked closely, only to see two tablets placed on the case, and after a careful look, I found that it was the tablet of Lao Liu'er's parents.
Nothing else, it seems. Instead, I went to the inner room again, and found nothing, except that the air inside was extremely cold, as if the air had condensed and stopped. I frowned, and finally went back to the hall, looking at the blood on the ground, and then at the hanging rope on the beam. Is there any connection between the two? What does it mean that there is corpse blood on the ground? Didn't Lao Yu'er run back to worship his parents after the corpse changed?
How is this possible? He was transformed after being bitten by a corpse demon, and at most he became a zombie that could bite people, and he should not have spiritual intelligence. However, it is not possible to ensure that there is really wisdom...... Assuming that Lao Yuer has a certain amount of intelligence, then the blood under the god case should be left in the place where Lao Yuer appeared, my mind turned sharply, and then I turned my head to look up, and the hanging rope ...... Thinking about it, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I hurried to the door, quietly opened the door of the hall, and when I went out, I flashed into the low stove house.
Glancing at the board of the stove house, I opened my eyes slightly, and after thinking about it, I seemed to think of something, there was no trace of messiness in the inner room, only a mess in the hall, which can only show one point, Lao Liu'er has come back, and he came back after the corpse. He just entered the hall, turned around and walked away, and he tried to hang himself in the hall...... Is it because he can't die?
I hurriedly overturned the logical thinking just now, and combed it again, assuming that after the old man deceived the corpse, he had a spiritual wisdom by chance, and the first thing he did would definitely be like a zombie looking for blood to suck, so the two coffin bearers in the village became his target, and the zombie's sensitivity to smells was beyond the reach of ordinary people, or even unimaginable. The two coffin bearers sent Lao Yu'er to the grave, and the smell remained around the grave, and Lao Liu'er's corpse changed, looking for the smell and finding the two people, but the two people escaped when they were bitten by Lao Yao'er.
Lao Yu'er's wisdom should have played a role at this time, he returned home, worshiped his parents, and hated himself for becoming a zombie who was not a human or a ghost, so he thought of dying again. But when he hung on the hanging rope, he found that he couldn't die at all. So what will he do next? If his intelligence still works, according to the urine nature of ordinary people, he must be wronged and debtor, then, is he looking for the corpse demon who turned him into a zombie?
If you reason like this, it seems that everything is logical, and I just found out that there is no kitchen knife in the stove house, and it is impossible for a person who lives at home to not even have a kitchen knife, so the kitchen knife disappears, and it can only be speculated according to the simplest logical reasoning that Lao Yuer ran to the corpse demon who turned him into a zombie with a kitchen knife. Fortunately, there are not many furnishings in Lao Yuer's home, and according to the way of thinking of ordinary people, this is the simplest and most direct step.
In any case, I have to find out the truth according to the results of my reasoning. The old man said that Lao Xiao'er was because of what happened in the mountains when he was herding cattle, and the cow was gone, and he came back covered in blood, so I will go to the mountains now to look for it, if the cow is also bitten, then I should be able to find the carcass of the cow, even a little wreckage can help me a lot. If the cow hadn't been bitten and it was just the old man who had been bitten, then the cow would have run away, so I could have found some clues as long as I found a place where people lived.
What's more, if Lao Lao'er really followed my reasoning step by step, I should be able to find his traces, and Gu Ling'er once told me that the three caves are the same as the mark of the blood clan. Coupled with these trivial clues, I faintly have hope in my heart, thinking of this, I turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, I was shocked to see a few figures appear outside the courtyard wall, walking towards this side, take a closer look, the secret is not good, it is no one else, it is the deacon of the Discipline Hall Yan Zhaolin who has come to inspect with people!
It's easy to deal with those two guards, but it's not so easy to deal with this Yan Deacon, I have to leave immediately. With my feet stomping on the ground, I flew up, but before I could rush out of the range of Lao Yu'er's house, I heard Deacon Yan's shouting: "Huh? Who's that?! Go after it!! ”
