Volume 1 Rhine Chapter 29 Investigation

It must have been carried into the house.

That night, Su Xuan had a bizarre dream.

He dreamed that he had come to the sea of clouds, as if his soul was out of his body, and he was fluttering like a fairy.

The clouds and mist dispersed beneath his feet, revealing a cemetery full of crossed swords, and there was a mournful voice wafting in the graveyard, pact, contract, contract...... Trouble.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder, he looked back, and there was no one.

Like a voice from the space separated by glass: Those who break the contract will be judged......

In the cemetery, a ghost hand suddenly pierced through the black wasteland, suddenly rose from the ground, stretched out extremely quickly, and grabbed him.

He only heard a thud, and when the ghost hand touched the mist under his feet, it was violently bounced back.

It's dangerous.

The space beneath his feet began to crack like a spider's web, and he tried to escape, but he couldn't move his legs.

Space shattered, he fell from the sky, the cemetery dissipated like smoke, followed by the tiled roof of a house.

Breaking through the tile roof, Su Xuan sat up from the bed suddenly, covered in cold sweat.

It turned out to be a nightmare!

I don't know why, but he didn't let go of it.

It was still dark outside, but the calibrated terminal showed 8 a.m.

Pushing open the door, Su Xuan remembered that the wind and sand swirling around the town blocked the town from the outside.

There is not much difference between day and night in the town.

If you want to say the only difference, that is, there are more pedestrians on the street, and there are bits and pieces of traffic, for some reason, Su Xuan feels that the town is even more bleak and deserted.

"Have you heard about that ghost lady? I heard that the Zhang family actually found the corpse skin in those rooms. Do you think our young lady would have been made into a painted skin by that ghost lady earlier! ”

Sitting on the eaves wall, I heard several patrolling guards talking in whispers outside the wall.

"Shhh, you be quiet, be heard, be careful that your job is not guaranteed, and don't bother me when the time comes."

The other man was mysterious, first accusing the guard, and then he also raised his voice and said, "You only know about this now, as early as the day of the groom's accident, someone said that there was a smell of corpses coming from the house. ”

"I was still assigned to patrol outside the courtyard to protect the young lady, and suddenly I heard the groom's screams coming from inside the house, do you know what that sound looks like?"

"Heartbreaking, I thought the king of the East Village was a pig again. When something happened, and even the head of the Zhang family showed up in person, I knew that something was wrong. ”

"I went in with the crowd at that time, and I saw that Zhang kid running around the yard nervously, with his hair scattered, babbling and not knowing what to call."

Another voice said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be the escort of the relatives, big brother!" "Being able to be assigned this job is all important siblings around the master." What happened later, did you see our young lady, the little young master of the Zhang family is crazy, that is what the heavens want, but this is none of our young lady's business. ”

The high-ranking guard said earnestly: "Xiao Zhi, it's good to know some things from the bottom of your heart, but if you say it, something big will happen." For example, the young master of the Zhang family, although he is not lovable, on the surface, we still have to call him respectfully as usual, even in private, we can't talk nonsense, maybe when others will listen to him. ”

After finishing speaking, he changed back to his previous tone, "As for our young lady...... At that time, the head of the Zhang family was present, and even if I was fishing in troubled waters, I didn't dare to walk over, I only dared to look at it from afar. But according to the expressions of the people inside, there was no one else in the cave house. You don't know, their faces are like ghosts.

You also know the situation in our town, but there will be some ancestors running to the town on the western cliff.

I thought it was really a patriarch who came here, but when I thought that this was the Zhang family of the famous demon suppression family, how could it be possible for the patriarch to run to the inner courtyard.

To deal with the ancestor, the guards of the Zhang family are the masters, and those of us who were arranged by the master to accompany the young lady are just following up to make up the number of people and make a festive and lively picture.

Later, I carefully inspected the fence outside the courtyard several times, but I did not find any traces of my grandfather.

Xiaoqing's girl has been following Miss since she was a child, and when Miss had an accident, she was squatting outside the cave house, but no matter how I asked her, she refused to speak. I don't know what those people in the Zhang family did to her! Fortunately, we were patrolling the outer courtyard at the time, and I heard that the servants and maidservants who knew the truth and were in a position were silenced. ”

"So there is such a thing." Another guard said that Ben still wanted to show off, but he didn't want to bump into the main one.

"Good job, boy. Our master is very good, and he won't treat some of our brothers badly. ”

"Thank you, big brother, for reminding me."

......

The voices of the two gradually faded away, and Su Xuan lay on the ridge of the eaves, motionless.

"Far away."

A voice kindly reminded him.

Su Xuan sat up at this time, lowered his legs along the sloping eaves, and greeted the woman who was also sitting on the wall like him, "Girl, you have seen it." ”

Hu Yue's elusiveness is even more inscrutable than those missing brides.

It seemed that everything that happened in this prostration could not escape her eyes and ears, as long as she wanted to understand.

"Is that boy going to help that lady now?"

"What's the girl's say, I'm just worried that if I help her, Senior Brother Lu Yu's medicine will have to be delayed."

"Don't worry about this, I have asked the owner of this house to help us deliver it, in addition, the bone washing fruit is not ready to be used after picking, it needs at least three weeks to neutralize the fierceness, otherwise, its fierceness is enough to make a horn scale fatal."

"No wonder the medicinal materials are gone, but that grandfather is not in a hurry!" Su Xuan muttered to herself in a low voice.

"Girl, you said you weren't from the Demon Suppression Family."

Su Xuan asked, "If you compare with the ancient families in those small towns, who has a bigger status...... I mean, are they going to help us, or are we going to coordinate with them? ”

Hu Yue shook the rattan basket, and the blade inside made a gurgling sound, "The people who hold this sword are all the same people, and they are all the guardians of this land. I don't want to deal with them, though. Because of the meeting, the opportunity is different from what you said, and the status is different. ”

Su Xuan looked at the dome of Hanging Spirit Town and whispered, "Understand, understand." ”

O man who guards this land, he is the most difficult, for even if everyone betrays him, he cannot betray it.

This has been the case both inside and outside the circle, from ancient times to the present.

"By the way......" Su Xuan was just about to jump off the wall, when he suddenly asked, "What is the 'Ancestral Master' they just said?!" ”

"It's the corpse on the other side of the Hanging Spirit Cliff, that's what we usually call it here."

Su Xuan suddenly, in terms of age, he is really from the "grandfather" generation. I don't know what's going on, but at this time he remembered the dream he had last night.

Nightmares are usually forgotten after people wake up from a dream, but at this moment, Su Xuan remembers clearly what happened in the dream.

Could it be that the "ancestors" gave him a dream? No, there are no ghosts or gods in this world. When a person dies, the spirit disappears. The universe will eventually go to zero, and everything in the world will be conserved, so there is no need to be surprised or frightened even if something strange happens.

He told himself.

casually went to the town to find a shop and made a breakfast, Su Xuan asked Hu Yue about the situation of this town, and paid attention to the conversation of the people around him.

At the end of the street, a gong suddenly sounded, and a group of people, dressed in red robes and red flowers, passed in front of them with joy.

Hu Yue shouted, "It's the team to welcome relatives." Her gaze followed the red sedan chair in the middle of the line.

"The greeting procession? It's completely different from ours. "The chaotic music, the team with the red theme color, Su Xuan thought it was some kind of classical exorcism ceremony, after all, something so strange had just happened in the town.

"Welcome!" Su Xuan asked, "At this time, they are not afraid?" ”

"Anyway, let's go ahead and have a look." Hu Yue proposed.

She was the first to stand up and follow the group of fifty or so men.

Su Xuan was about to stand up, but he was pressed by a hand on his shoulder, and the boss wearing a round hat looked down at him condescendingly.

His face was gloomy, "Little brother, pay first and then leave." ”

Su Xuan shuddered and called the money bag out, and after the man counted a few copper shards by himself, he let him go.

The difference between Hanging Spirit Town and other small towns of the Luohe Clan is that this piece of land is actually bigger than it seems.

Wait until Su Xuan pays the money to the boss and chases the team.

In front of me, there were no human figures, and even the earth-shattering music disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

He remembered the conversation between the two guards in the morning, if he wanted to guard against thieves, the town here would be much more difficult than outside.

"Childe, this way!" At the corner of the intersection, a man beckoned to him.

I want to come to find that I have lost it, and come back to him.

Su Xuan explained, "I'll settle accounts with the boss, and when I turn around, you'll be gone." It seems that the placement here is much more difficult than the one outside, and it is no wonder that no one knows that something happened to the three brides. ”

As they spoke, they chased after the welcoming procession, and although there was an anomaly in the space here, the woman with a keen sense of hearing found it easily.

Maybe at this time, if Su Xuan is deaf, then Hu Yue is a normal person.

Hu Yue followed the team from a distance, neither losing nor being discovered by others.

She is also a guardian who holds the "god of God", but she has to hide herself extraordinarily.

She told Su Xuan, "On the day of the accident of the three brides, the great array of heaven and earth should not have been opened. Only when it encounters danger, it will be opened, the wind and sand array is a kind of maze array, people who can't distinguish the direction will easily get lost, and the road they have walked will be repeated. It is very effective to deal with Master Zu. ”

At this moment, Su Xuan's heart sank again, he thought that there was both "Master Zu" and the sound insulation effect of this kind of ruler in this place, if it was really "Master Zu" who ran to the house, there was also the possibility of not being discovered.

But now, he finds the problem even more bizarre than he thought.

"Having said that, when did the 'Ancestor Master' you mentioned start to appear, according to the time, the Demon Venerable in the Falling Star Valley should have been trapped there for nearly fifty years. This classical demon suppression family shouldn't only have a history of fifty years. ”

Hu Yue said, "I heard the elders say that if the ancestor was obsessed too much during his lifetime, was buried on the stone cliff, and absorbed enough earthly qi, he would return to his home and walk around the places he went before his death." This is the 'ancestral master' of a long time ago, they will not hurt people easily, and the demon suppressor family is responsible for finding a good cemetery for them again, burying them, and transforming their heroic spirits.

Since the Demon Venerable came into the world, the ancestor has become violent, especially the thousand-legged puppets that have been separated from the Demon Venerable, which can directly attach to the ancestral master's spine, like the puppeteer's control puppet. The patriarch asked me to stay at the Gathering Spirit Pass, and be wary of those puppets running to disturb the rest of the ancestors. The rest will be left to the families of these demon suppressors to deal with. ”

Su Xuan remembered the lunch break in Mengyang Garden, where a kindergarten teacher on duty stared at the children in the room.

It's just that Hu Yue is not staring at children, but the ancestors who are old and toothless and more peaceful than children.

"Then do you think it's because in the past few days that you've been away, the ferocious ancestor has come to the town to harm people?"

"There is this possibility, but last night, I went to the house of the two newcomers outside the Zhang family to investigate, and I found no trace of Master Zu."

"When did you go?" Su Xuan exclaimed, "Didn't you rest?" But you are in better spirits than I am. ”

Because of the nightmare yesterday, Su Xuan felt uncomfortable today.

Maybe it's just a matter of adaptation.

Hu Yue didn't answer his words, but continued, "But there is a newcomer's house, but there is a trace of being slashed by a sword. It was new, and the sword was there, broken. ”

"That is." Su Xuan said, "This newcomer has fought with the murderer, but they are not opponents at all? ”

Hu Yue's head tapped, "Dead, killed by his own sword." ”

"Does this mean that this is actually not done by Master Zu?" Su Xuan asked.

"Where Master Zu walked, especially in the closed room, a cyan flame would appear when it was ignited with yellow rune paper. When I went, I was afraid that these qi had already dissipated, but listening to what the two guards said in the morning, the Zhang family must have found something in the room. ”

"It turned out to be Ca3P2." Su Xuan said, "Since it is the Zhang family of the Demon Suppression Family, it is naturally very likely that the phosphorus fire was discovered in the first place. However, if this thing is walking on the street, I am afraid that the smell will cover three streets, how could the well-guarded Zhang family not notice it. ”

"Tighter bride!" Hu Yue reminded, "This time we will stay in the bridal room and see what happens?" ”

Pay attention, Su Xuan found that the woman is not simply less wise, she is actually very smart.

Instead of following the clues of hearsay to find the ancestor in the clouds, it is better to fish with bait and wait for the rabbit.
