Dingshan County, Xuezhu Town.
This town is located in the northwest of Dingshan County, quite close to Tonglin County. It is famous for the nearly 100-mile-wide snow bamboo on the Dingshan branch behind it.
In addition to farming and some service industries, the rest in the town are all large and small workshops that use snow bamboo as raw materials.
On weekdays, Xuezhu Town is very lively, because the Xuezhu products in the town are easy to sell, and many merchants come to the town to purchase. If you want to make more money, you can also go to the county on your own. Even state capital sales.
However, in the past few days, the atmosphere in Xuezhu Town has obviously been different. Everyone has lost their smiles when they met, as if there was a dark cloud weighing on people's hearts.
“Did someone die yesterday?”
“I haven’t heard any news yet.”
“Has no one reported to the mayor? ?”
“I don’t know.”
Five days ago, a night-time care worker from Dazhufang died in the workshop. People in the town reported it to the county. In the end, Wu Zuo came to the conclusion that he died of natural causes.
So everyone didn’t take it to heart, thinking that there was something wrong with him and died suddenly, so they did whatever they should.
But the next day, another caregiver from Li Ji Zhufang died, and everyone felt that something was wrong.
After reporting to the county again, the yamen and the old man came to check again and came to the same conclusion as before.
Not to mention that the people in the town didn’t believe it, even the yamen and the boss didn’t believe the conclusion they had come to, so they reported the matter decisively.
However, it takes time for things to be reported to the higher-ups, so the people of Xuezhu Town can only wait.
So, on the third and fourth days, two more ordinary people died unexpectedly.
This is the fifth day now.
But now it is the afternoon of the fifth day, but no one has reported to the official.
"Didn't anyone die today?"
As soon as this question arose, a town citizen trotted over in a panic from a distance, "Come on! Come on! Dead!"
"Who! Who is dead?"
"No, not one, but two. Li Dahe and his wife did not go to work today. He was found dead at home."
"Two!"
"Oh my God!"
"The more dead, the more! ”
“What to do!?”
“No, I don’t know. Why hasn’t the imperial court sent someone here?”
“Several elders from the town have gone to Xuanhe Temple in the east of the county. I heard that the temple The talismans signed by Taoist priests are efficacious and can subdue demons and eliminate demons!"
"Really! Then when will they come over?"
Several people were panicking. While discussing with each other, the two Taoist priests had already arrived not far outside Xuezhu Town.
"Senior Brother Yuanjing, I will trouble you again about Xuezhu Town." It is our duty as a person in this world."
Of these two Taoist priests, one looks to be less than thirty years old and is wearing the blue Taoist robe of Baiyun Temple. It is Yuan Jing.
There is also a younger one, wearing a black and blue Taoist robe with a black black crane woven on the sleeve. He is the direct disciple of the contemporary master of Xuanhe Temple, Taoist Linghe.
However, it is only limited to ordinary foreign objects that are not powerful. If you encounter powerful ones, you have to go to Yizhou Mansion to seek help from those Taoist temples.
Of course, in recent decades, I have also gone to Tonglin County to seek support from Baiyunguan. For example, Yuan Jing has come to Dingshan County for support several times.
But this time is different. This time, Yuan Jing found Xuanhe Temple first, and was about to ask if there was any news about anyone being weak or dead due to the yang energy being sucked in. There was Xue People from Zhuzhen came to burn incense and ask for help.
So Yuan Jing did not waste any time, left behind the slow-moving people of Xuezhu Town, and hurried over on her own.
Of course, Xuanhe Temple cannot pretend that it has not seen this, not to mention that those people actually came to beg them, so the master of Xuanhe Temple immediately sent his chief disciple, Taoist Linghe, to follow him. Give me a hand and help.
The two of them traveled all the way and arrived at the boundary of Xuezhu Town at midnight on the fifth day. They stepped into Xuezhu Town before the afterglow completely set.
The two took two steps along the street in the center of the town. Linghe asked worriedly, "It's getting dark. I don't know when the ghost will come out?"
Yuan Jing looked at the sky, then looked around, pointing to the square five-story building in the center of the town, "Let's go to that restaurant and have a look. If a ghost takes action, we should be able to find clues. "
Linghe followed Yuan Jing's fingers and looked over, his expression stagnant.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Jing discovered something was wrong with Linghe.
He said, "Well, that is the largest brothel in Xuezhu Town."
Yuan Jing, "..."
Why is the largest building in a town a brothel? The largest building in Tonglin County is Mingyue Tower instead of Chunfeng Tower!
Yuan Jing sighed, "It doesn't matter, let's not go in, let's go directly to the roof."
Linghe nodded repeatedly, "That's no problem."
It was already the end of Youshi, the sky was already half dark, the sun had already set, the entire Xuezhu Town had been engulfed in darkness, the pedestrians on the street had already gone home, and the streets were extremely cold.
Not just on the street...
“Is this a brothel?”
Yuan Jing came to the building and looked up at the upstairs , only a few rooms were lit with dim lights, and most of the other rooms, including the halls on the first and second floors, were all pitch black.
Linghe blinked, "Maybe it's because people have died every day recently."
Everyone was hiding at home, not daring to come out at all.
But in the face of this foreign object, just hiding at home, isn’t it deceiving yourself?
"Let's go! Get up!"
Yuan Jing gently cheered up and jumped onto the second floor of the building. Then, her body was flying like catkins, climbing up one floor after another. Arrive at the roof of the building.
Of course Linghe was far worse than Yuan Jing, but this kind of climbing over eaves and walls was not a problem for him. It only took him a moment to reach the roof.
It’s just that he made a little noise, which caused a few exclamations from the room in the building, and then a low-pitched gasp.
Linghe glanced at Yuan Jing with some embarrassment, but Yuan Jing did not look at him, and looked carefully around the town.
Linghe also straightened his expression, looked around, and asked cautiously, "Can we find that ghost?"
Yuan Jing shook his head, "I don't know. ”
If the other party is not weak in moral conduct, his aura will not leak out, and naturally they will not be able to sense it.
Yuan Jing stood in the center of the town, not only sensing the breath, but also hoping to see the other person.
…
Time passed bit by bit.
Just when Haishi was about to pass and Zishi was about to arrive, a wave of mana suddenly erupted in the east of the town.
"Someone take action!"
Just as Linghe said this, he found that Yuan Jing had already flown past.
"Senior brother, wait for me!"
Linghe hurriedly followed.
Yuan Jing flew downstairs, and the white clouds under her feet lifted her up. She flew over the rooftops of the town and soon arrived at the scene.
In the small courtyard, a ghost dressed in white with disheveled hair was surrounded in the center, and three women wearing pink peach-patterned spring cloud brocade skirts were surrounding, either holding troops or making seals.
In just a few rounds, the three women killed the ghost cleanly.
"Peach Blossom Goddess!"
