Chapter 185: The Noodles Are Hanned
The way of this black-shirted old ghost has survived for more than a hundred years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Xiuyuan even beheaded the Dragon King of Wujiang, the City God, and the Ghost King had to bow their heads in front of him, not to mention this little old ghost, to deal with such a ghost, he couldn't even use his own identity, and he could take it down by some of the simplest means of exorcism.
However, this black-shirted old ghost still has the ability to confuse ordinary people, and his own guards were confused by him just now.
Looking at the arrow that sank deep into the ground, Li Xiuyuan felt that the strength of this arrow was very terrifying, at least more than five stones, and this was still without being full.
If it is full, I am afraid that the strength will be even more amazing.
The point is that this bow is easy and effortless to pull, and I don't know what method the Mudao people used to build this bow.
I really want a treasure, and if a good shooter holds it in his hand, it will definitely be a coveted bow.
At this moment, the guards, seeing that this old ghost had been nailed to the ground by an arrow in a blink of an eye, and they couldn't break free, and at this moment, they admired their young master's method of catching ghosts and eliminating demons even more.
"You go and stop this wedding team and rescue Qiao Nu, it just so happens that we are also going to Hua County, and tomorrow we will go to Hua County to return this woman to Qiao's family. Li Xiuyuan commanded at this time.
"Don't worry, young master, we will definitely rescue that woman. ”
The two guards answered, and immediately turned over and mounted their horses with willow sticks, and caught up with the bridal procession.
With the wave of the willow stick in the hands of the guards, a servant beating gongs and drums was broken in the head, and half of his head flew out, but when he looked closely, where was a servant, just a paper man, I don't know what kind of magic tricks were used, so that the paper man moved by himself.
"Bump, bump, bump!"
The guards were startled at first, and then saw the paper figure that had been knocked to the ground by their own stick, but they suddenly became bolder.
It turns out that these ghosts are all scaring things, all of them are paper figures, no wonder since the beginning these people didn't react at all when they were subdued by the old ghost, they just rushed on their own.
Since it is a paper man, then they are even more afraid, riding a horse in the ranks of rampox, knocking out all these servants who beat gongs and drums, with the hooves of the healthy horses, these servants who fell to the ground all turned into paper figures scattered on the ground, and then with the surrounding wind and sand blowing, I don't know where they were swept away.
After the spell was broken, these paper figures became ordinary objects, and they were no longer capable of moving.
Soon, the guards beat the paper figures to pieces, and finally stopped the sedan chair.
"Look, young master, all of them are paper people, there is no living person, there should be only that old ghost, and we don't see other ghosts. The guard said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "This is nature, if there are other ghosts, they will definitely not be able to escape my eyes." ”
After speaking, he walked to the side of the sedan chair, tore it twice, and the paper sedan chair was disassembled, and the woman in the sedan chair seemed to know everything outside, sitting quietly in the sedan chair, motionless.
"Something is wrong, this woman is motionless, isn't she already dead. The guard said in a suppressed voice.
Li Xiuyuan frowned, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he directly lifted the red cloth on the woman's head, and immediately his face changed slightly.
But I saw that the woman's face was a little pale, her blood was insufficient, her eyes were closed, and she had no breath.
"Young Master, this bride is really dead. The guard reached out and sniffed, then said.
Li Xiuyuan looked at it and said: "It's not completely dead, this corpse is still alive, it should be that the soul has left the body, as long as you can find this Qiao girl's soul, then it should be able to bring her back to life." ”
The real dead, the corpse was absolutely cold and stiff at this time.
But this Qiao girl's corpse is still warm, bloody, and not stiff, which is exactly the same as the sign that the soul has lost people.
"Young Master, what now?" the guard asked.
Li Xiuyuan said: "There's no way, since you meet it, you can't throw this Qiao girl's body on the side of the road, take her with you." ”
The guard nodded, and had to take the female corpse with him.
Li Xiuyuan turned around and returned to the old ghost who was nailed to the road at this moment, and asked, "Do you know where the soul of this Qiao girl is?"
"No, I don't know. The old ghost shook his head again and again, ignoring the pain, and hurriedly said.
Li Xiuyuan asked: "I really don't know or I don't know?" Now that your life is hard to protect, do you still want to keep secrets?"
The old ghost in the black shirt cried and shouted, "I really don't know. ”
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "You are very strict-mouthed, but you said before that the Qiao family married a daughter, then let me ask you, who are you going to marry this girl?"
"I don't know this, I'm just in charge of giving it away, and I don't know anything else. The old man in the black shirt said.
Li Xiuyuan frowned, he looked at this old ghost seriously, this old ghost must know the reason for this matter, but because he was afraid of something, he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
Of course, there is another reason.
That is, this old ghost really doesn't know anything, he just escorts this family sending team.
"Well, since you don't know, then I won't ask you, you will continue to be nailed to the ground like this, and it will be dawn in a short time, I hope you will not regret this hard mouth. ”
After saying that, he didn't bother to continue to torture the old ghost, and when he saw that the guards had moved the body of the Qiao girl to the horse, he waved his hand.
"Continue to hurry, this happened in Hua County, and it will naturally be clear when you arrive in Hua County. ”
He believed that if he found the parents of this Qiao girl, he would naturally be able to ask clearly.
Soon, the group continued on their way.
The old ghost who was nailed to the ground wailed: "Please let me go, I really don't know, I only know that there is a highly skilled paper-binding craftsman in Huaxian, these paper people are bought from him, you can go and ask the paper-binding maker, he must know what is going on." ”
"There are many nonsense stories, not a single one of them is really convincing, and now even if the truth is told, I have to doubt one or two. ”
Li Xiuyuan didn't bother to pay attention to this evil ghost, and quickly left with the guards.
This black-shirted old ghost saw that Li Xiuyuan was really gone, and he panicked at this time.
"Rao, spare your life, I said, I'll say everything, don't go...... Please let me go, I'll tell you everything now. ”
However, at this time, Li Xiuyuan had already walked far away, and he couldn't hear the old ghost's shout.
After shouting for a while, the black-shirted old ghost was sure that Li Xiuyuan was really gone, but he was full of regret, he wanted to reach out and pull out the arrow that was nailing him, but he couldn't pull it out anyway, as long as he also touched this arrow, his hands and feet would be weak.
If the pure yang energy above is not dispersed, he will not be able to take out this arrow.
However, it is estimated that it will take several days for this yang energy to dissipate.
But it was a few hours before dawn, and when the scorching sun shone down, he was thrown into a pan of oil, and he was in pain to death.
However, after being delayed by this matter, Li Xiuyuan and the guards could have gone to Huaxian, but now they didn't go to Huaxian until the sky was slightly bright.
But when I got here, it was already populated, there were villages nearby, there were post stations on the roadside, and tea shops.
The outline of the county seat can be seen in the distance.
"Stop, take a break at this tea shop, and grab a bite to eat. Li Xiuyuan said.
He is considered a person in cultivation, and he is full of energy, so much so that the guards around him can't stand it.
Although it is still early, the tea shop has already opened, and the industriousness of the people is sometimes unimaginable.
"There doesn't seem to be a disaster here. Li Xiuyuan looked around when he was resting, and saw that the ground was dry and there was no trace of flooding.
"Young Master, this place has walked out of Guobei City's hundreds of miles, and it must not be within the scope of the disaster, so it seems that the area affected this time is not large. ”
The guards were a little hungry, so they ate tea and noodles.
"You can't think of it that way, it's normal that the terrain here is high, and the water can't spread here, but the real disaster is the low-lying and downstream. Li Xiuyuan said.
As the sky gradually brightens, there are people from nearby to Huaxian one after another, and some people will eat some noodles when passing by the tea shop, drink tea and take a break, and settle down.
However, among these people, Li Xiuyuan also saw several groups of victims.
The flood washed away their houses and fields, and they had to flee in all directions.
At this moment, a group of able-bodied victims strode towards this side, and then took up a table with a big grin.
"Xiao Er, hurry up, come with five or six bowls of noodles, if it's late, beware of me demolishing your shop." ”
A man covered in tatters shouted.
Seeing that this group of people was not easy to mess with, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted, brought tea and water, and boiled noodles and sent them.
While eating and drinking, this group of people pulled their voices, they didn't know what to say, their words were all in the local dialect, accent, Li Xiuyuan couldn't understand eight out of ten sentences.
"Senior young master, do you want to drive these people away, they don't look like good people. "The guards are vigilant and wary of these people.
"No, we'll wait until the horses are full and we'll leave, and leave them alone. ”
Li Xiuyuan gestured, and didn't bother to pay attention to these people, just looked bored, took out the book of life and death from his arms, and flipped through it.
I am bored to check the life expectancy and happiness of some people, such as their parents, friends, maids around them, maidservants, etc.
There is no limit to flipping through the book of life and death, anyone can flip through it, since he has this opportunity, then he naturally wants to see the situation of the people around him in advance.
However, at this time, after a man at the table next to him had eaten and drunk, he saw that there was still half a bowl of noodles in the bowl, and he couldn't eat it anymore, so he quipped to his companion: "You see, I don't look like the woman who hanged herself." ”
After saying that, he hung up a noodle and formed a circle, and the idle man stuck his head in, rolled his eyes, and then looked straight into the distance, stuck out his tongue, and pretended to be a hanged ghost.
"Haha, kind of like, kind of like. The companion next to him smiled and patted the table.
"Hey, that woman is so stupid, it's a shame that our brothers just got along with her once, and then hanged themselves. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
"Young Master, this group of people seems to be the thieves who killed the group of victims yesterday. ”
When the guard heard these words, his eyes immediately shrank, and he saw the idler pretending to be a hanged ghost, looking very much like the woman who had been humiliated and hanged.
There is no doubt that this group of people is the thief.
"There is no one left and right, it is better to end up with this gang of thieves, and they are caught in the government for such a crime, and they will inevitably be stabbed. ”
Another guard pressed Shen Yu and said, under the influence of Li Xiuyuan, he also became jealous and hateful, and when he encountered such a villain, he couldn't help but want to draw his sword.
Li Xiuyuan raised his head slightly, looked at the group of idlers, and there was a little coldness in his eyes.
Suddenly, on the neck of an idler, he saw a small wooden sign with his name written on it.
"Shi San. ”
"Check it out. ”
Li Xiuyuan immediately looked down at the book of life and death in his hand.
At this time, after the person named Shi San finished laughing, he pushed away another idle man and said, "Your hanged appearance is just a little similar, look at me." ”
After saying that, he took his head and got into the noodle again, rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and looked like a hanged ghost.
"Haha, like, it's very like, much more like it was just now. The idlers laughed again.
However, everyone laughed, but this Shi San kept this appearance, motionless, his body seemed to be frozen, frozen in place, his eyes rolled up, his tongue was spit out, and his breath was gone.
