Chapter 21: Traces of the Fox Demon
That night, Devil Cry once again wandered in the river and lake in a boat, but still found nothing.
However, the next day, the old drunkard sent someone to the door.
The one who came to the door was a little beggar.
Armed with a hat and a weapon, Ghost Cry followed the little beggar to a gate, and gave the little beggar a few pennies, and the little beggar ran away happily.
Walked to the door and knocked on it.
After a while, the door opened, and it was a strange middle-aged man.
The ghost cried and flashed the token, and the middle-aged man turned sideways silently and let the ghost cry in.
I walked in and came to a courtyard.
Only then did Ghost Cry realize that there were already five or six people in it, and one of them was the same colleague Ghost Cry had met yesterday.
Everyone was silent with serious expressions.
In the middle of the courtyard, a corpse was parked, and the old drunkard was next to it.
He saw the ghost crying and beckoned, "You are here, come and have a look!"
Ghost Cry walked up, crouched down, and looked at the corpse.
The owner of the corpse was lean and looked like a monkey.
He was also gouged out of his heart, judging from this technique, there must be no doubt that it must be the fox demon.
However, he did not die after being drained of his energy, and judging by all indications, he did not die by gouging out his heart.
Ghost Cry looked at his head, there were five holes in his head, and Ghost Cry gestured with his hand, and it was already clear.
This person was attacked by the fox demon, just one claw, his head was grabbed out of five holes, and he died on the spot, judging from his face, he didn't react until he died.
A claw grabbed through the human skull, and this force made the ghost cry a little chilly.
"Do you see clearly?"
"See clearly. Ghost Cry nodded, walked to the side of the rockery, clasped his hands to his chest, and thought to himself.
At that moment, the door opened again, and a tall, frosty woman walked in.
Like the ghost crying, she looked at the corpse and stepped aside.
"Now that we're all here, let's talk about it. The old drunkard was lazy, and there was a crackling sound, and his original hunchback immediately became straight.
He stood up, like a javelin.
The momentum came up at once.
Suddenly, everyone's hearts sank.
"This time, the problem is very serious. The old drunkard pointed to the corpse on the ground: "Some of you know him, some of you don't, but it's okay, the old man will introduce you to him." ”
"His name is Lin Monkey, the iron card of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, his ability is not small, the light body kung fu and the hidden weapon kung fu are first-class, and the more powerful is the concealment kung fu and tracking kung fu, in Hangzhou City, there is no one he can't find, if he doesn't want to appear, no one can find him. Just yesterday, he found some clues about Qin Xianglian. He was cautious by nature, and he was afraid that he would not be caught, so he found the old man and chased after him with him. As a result, he was attacked by Qin Xianglian first, and he was not killed at that time, and the old man also fell into the illusion and received a ruthless blow. The old drunkard coughed twice, coughed up blood, and his face was flushed, and he grabbed the collar and tore it open, revealing his chest.
Right on his chest, there were black paw prints and five bloody holes, and the old drunkard said with palpitations: "Almost, the old man's heart was dug out by the fox." ”
The ghost crying pupils contracted, although he had never seen the old drunkard make a move, but as the silver medal of the Heavenly Master Mansion in Hangzhou City of the Great Song Dynasty, his methods were definitely not weak.
As for the forest monkey, being able to be an iron card shows that its means are extraordinary, and it definitely does not lack combat effectiveness.
But even so, when a silver medal and an iron medal are combined, they are still seriously injured, which is a bit of a big problem.
(The Heavenly Master's Mansion is divided into gold medals, silver medals, iron medals and wooden plaques, the gold medal is the person in charge of a country, the silver medal is the person in charge of important areas, the iron plaque is the person in charge of the county and town, the iron plaque is equivalent to the field staff, the wooden plaque is the peripheral personnel, and the brand they receive when they receive the task is also a wooden plaque, which belongs to temporary workers)
"The old man has begun to gather other iron cards, and ask Zhang Chenghuang for help, all the wooden cards in Hangzhou City have also begun to act, you are all Junjie, when acting, you must be cautious, it is best for the two to act together. The fox demon has become a climate. ”
After speaking, the old drunkard's back went down again, coughed a few times in a row, and said, "The old man is tired, so he will leave first." ”
As he spoke, he left with the silent middle-aged man who was in charge of opening the door, leaving Ghost Cry and a few others.
"New brother, no introduction?" shouted one of the men.
"Nope. Ghost Cry said that he was not interested in dealing with other people or meeting new people.
Hell, the two words were like a big mountain, pressing on top of his head, making him breathless.
For the sake of merit, he thought about doing something in terms of food, and then he found out that the food production in this world is extremely high, and the reason why there is still famine is because of all kinds of disasters, because of those wild beasts and monsters.
He thought about researching gunpowder, which was a big killer, but the recipe was right, it just didn't work, and it couldn't even burn.
Going back and forth, there is only the urgency of spending some money to save people, killing more people and monsters, so as to earn merit.
Therefore, naturally I don't have the heart to intrigue with them.
The ghost cried and pushed the door out, and whatever they wanted to talk about behind their backs, let them go.
The person who spoke had an ugly face, secretly spit, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Nangong Woman......"
Before he could finish speaking, the tall woman with a cold face also moved lightly and went out.
A teasing laugh rang out, and the man's face became even more ugly.
At night, on the river, on the boat.
The ghost cry caused the boatman to remove the table and stand on the bow of the boat, lowering the hat, and the narrow eyes were like lightning.
Tonight was windy and cold, cold to the bone.
As a result, there are fewer boats on the river, but the boats are more lively.
The singing on it is intoxicating, the orchestra is long, and the silk and bamboo are curling, and you can imagine a cheerful scene of warmth like spring inside, singing and dancing.
A small boat approached the building boat.
Then, a man with a sharp knife with ox ears, a face full of meat, and a body as strong as an ox, jumped from the boat to the boat with a group of men.
The boat was overwhelmed and squeaked.
This is very common.
The building boat will not dock until dawn, and if there is an emergency, if you want to get off the boat, you can only rely on these small boats.
Six men squeezed into a small boat, and the boatman on the boat rowed his oars at the stern.
The ghost wept and rolled his eyes, but the sight did not arouse his attention.
The next moment, however, was a little unusual.
The Jianghu person, who looked like the boss of the gang, actually went straight to the stern of the boat, hugged him, and the boatman walked to the cabin.
Then a strong man took over the boatman's work, rowing along the shore to a remote place.
The boat passed by the boat at the feet of Devil Cry, and the lantern hanging from the bow of the ship illuminated the scene, and out of the corner of Devil Cry's eyes, he glanced at the pretty and charming face under the boatman's hat, and he noticed something unusual.
"Boatman, turn around. ”
The ghost cried and turned around and said, "Quick!"
"Okay!" the boatman didn't ask why, and turned the bow of the boat.
Devil Cry stared at the unusual ship with his eyes, and asked the shipowner to adjust the direction again and again.
Gradually, the noise became farther and farther away, the lights became scarcer, the surroundings became darker and darker, and the environment became more and more remote.
Following this way, the bell on the long knife behind his back suddenly came out, and the light ringing of the bell, this time, the ghost cry is almost certain that the fox demon is on the boat.
