Chapter 13 Encounter in the mountains

Li Yaner was stunned.
"Didn't you say you're going to stay for two more days? Why are you leaving now?"

She looked at the sky outside. It was already evening, and it would be dinner in another quarter of an hour.
"Have dinner before leaving?"

Gu Shiyi shook his head,

"I can't wait. It turns out that Niu Da and his family were killed two days ago..."

"what……"

Li Yaner and the king were shocked. Gu Shiyi told them the news he heard outside in a few words.
"Even if the Qingling Guards are dispatched, it means that the murderers are not ordinary monsters..."

They are located in a remote place, and their aura is not very rich. The spirits and monsters they can produce are not of any Taoist nature. At most, they are resentful ghosts like Niu Da's wife, or mountain spirits like the king. Although they have thousands of years of Taoism, they are still alive. It doesn't know any spells to hurt people. If it encounters a Taoist with a little bit of magic power, it can only escape underground and has no ability to hurt people.

Gu Shiyi and the old Taoist priest have been here for several years, and they have already found out all the monsters and monsters nearby, so they concluded that those who killed the cows must be from other places. Most monsters and monsters have a strong sense of territoriality, unless there is a big change. , most of them will not leave the main body too far. For example, the king, in fact, the main body is still on the mountain behind the ruined temple. It just entrusted a ray of essence to Gu Shiyi. As long as the main body is still there, this ray of essence will The soul will be lost outside, and it can only be allowed to rest for a hundred years at most, and then new souls will be produced.

Therefore, the possibility of demons and monsters committing crimes is small, but the possibility of evil cultivators committing murder is high!
Gu Shiyi thought of the Tongxuan Mirror hidden in his body.

"So Master told us to leave in three days. Is he sure that once the treasure mirror's secret is leaked, they will come looking for it?"

And it would be fine if the righteous cultivators came to the door, but now looking at the method of killing, the evil cultivators came to the door first!

When Gu Shiyi thought of the way Niu Da's family died, he felt the hairs on his back stand on end and his spine felt cold.
"We'd better leave early!"

Li Yan'er and the king were stunned for a while. These people had never seen much of the world. One had lived in a peaceful world for more than 20 years and had never seen a real operation that killed an entire family if they disagreed. Born in the deep mountains, although it is usually a bit domineering, it has never seen humans being torn into pieces as soon as they come up!
"Let's go, let's go!"

Gu Shiyi packed up his things, went out to settle the bill at the shopkeeper's place, then went back to the backyard to pick up the old horse that he had raised for a few days, hitched it to the carriage, and then staggered out of the inn and walked out of the town. .

"Eleven, where are we going?"

The clay figurine was hanging on her collar, watching the town getting smaller under the sunset, and asked Gu Shiyi in confusion and panic. Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"We are going to Xuancheng, but we will not take the main road, but take the small road... I know a small road that can lead directly to Xuancheng. Although the road is difficult to walk, it is better because there are fewer people..."

This path is rugged and difficult to walk, and it is often in the wilderness where spirits appear from time to time. Ordinary people would naturally not dare to walk on it, but people like Gu Shiyi, who has a good sense of morality and magic, are not afraid at all.

Gu Shiyi drove the carriage for a while until it was dark and there were no people on the road. Then he turned right and entered a small road covered by weeds...

She didn't know that just as she was listening to people gossiping in the inn, a ray of light flew from far to near to the town next door, and flew to the top of Niu's Liquor Shop before stopping. Suddenly there was a brilliance, and a jade plaque floated out from it, and slowly fell in front of the gatekeeper. The clerk stretched out his hand to take it, took a closer look, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"I've met Lord Lingwei!"

"Ok!"

Someone responded, with a soft voice. After the light descended, the government officials looked up and saw three men in white robes standing in front of them. The leading man was slightly fat, with a round face, and his facial features were not outstanding, but He has a pair of natural peach blossom eyes and slightly upturned corners of his mouth. When he smiles gently, he immediately makes people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze. He looks very amiable and approachable, not at all like the aloof Immortal Master Qinglingwei.

The officials looked a little dazed. The leader smiled and glanced at everyone with a gentle look. Strangely enough, although his eyes were gentle, when the officials' eyes met his gaze, they felt an inexplicable feeling of fear in their hearts. Not daring to look further, they all lowered their heads. Only the class leader saw more, and despite the fear in his heart, he stepped forward and saluted,

"Lord Lingwei, the crime scene is inside, please!"

The leader of the squad made a gesture to lead people in. The leader Qing Lingwei glanced at the wine shop in front of him and said softly,

"Don't bother, you all just stand down!"

The government officials were stunned, and hurriedly bowed their heads and retreated. As soon as the people left, the leader Qingling Guard raised his hand and fired a magic spell. Within three feet of the Niujia Liquor Shop, a white light flashed, and a streak of something like something appeared. A blank white light shrouded the outside. This light shield blocked everything. No matter what happened within three feet, the mortals outside would not know.

"Lord Baiwei..."

At this time, one of the three men raised his hands to the leading man and said,

"Lord Baiwei, let your subordinates go in and check..."

The leading man thought for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile,

“Then there’s Brother Laowen!”

The man surnamed Wen nodded and walked into Niu's Liquor Shop. The smell of blood in the main hall still lingered after these days. As soon as the man entered, he smelled the smell of blood and blinked his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there were silver threads flashing in his pupils. When he scanned the hall, he could see a thick evil aura floating in the hall, and where the evil aura was the strongest, there seemed to be a few shadowy shadows shaking.

The man snorted, raised his hand, and clawed into the air with his five fingers. He saw a phantom coming out of the thick evil aura. Seeing this, the man stretched out his hand and the phantom floated away. When he arrived in front of him, the appearance and facial features of the phantom were the same as those of Big Daddy Niu. However, his eyes were dull and his face was a little twisted and ferocious. It turned out to be the soul of Daddy Niu.

After the soul of Daddy Niu appeared, he saw the stranger's eyes flashing red, and the expression on his face became more and more ferocious. He stretched out his hands to grab the man. The man named Wen smiled contemptuously. When the man saw this He took out a small copper bell and murmured something in his mouth. He held the small copper bell in his hand and shook it gently for a few times. Then the red light in the eyes of the old man Niu's soul gradually faded, and his face became dull and his eyes were dull.

The man looked at Big Daddy Niu's soul and murmured a strange sound. The soul of Big Daddy Niu began to shake. After a while, he also made the same strange noise. The two talked for a while, and the man Then he raised his hand to summon out the soul of Mrs. Niu, and then summoned out all the souls of the five members of the Niu family in the same way. After asking, he took out a small cloth bag from his waist and put the souls of the five people into it, and then he retreated. .

"Lord Baiwei!"

The man went out to recover his life,

"The hearts of these five people were all taken out by humans, and their souls were imprisoned in their blood. If I don't wait, I'm afraid that after seven days, these people will become blood evil spirits and start to cause trouble to this town. !”

The leading man frowned when he heard this.
"This is the Yinsha Sect's method!" The Yinsha Sect is an evil sect in Baima Prefecture, and it is considered a top sect in Baima Prefecture. Why did they come to such a small town and kill several mortals? And also imprison their souls in their blood to nourish evil spirits?
The man named Nawen said,

"The villain has already asked. The souls of these five people all said that there were five murderers. They entered the tavern originally to inquire about an old Taoist priest and a woman. The Niu family pointed out to them where the Taoist priest and the woman were hiding. In the mountains behind the town, five people had drinks and food in the tavern. Later, for some unknown reason, one of the five people suddenly became fierce and turned into ten sharp blades with his hands, killing them all in a few breaths. Divided the body..."

"Old Taoist priest? Woman?"

The leading man raised his eyebrows and narrowed his peach blossom eyes as if he was thinking about something in his mind. The man named Wen

"Yes, Mr. Baiwei, the five people from the Yinsha Sect came for the old Taoist priest and the woman, and they also asked the Niu family about the way into the mountain..."

The leading man nodded,
"The souls of these mortals have been contaminated by blood evil and need to be purified by additional spells. Have they been collected?"

"Already put away!"

"Okay, let's go!"

As they spoke, the three of them turned into a ray of light and soared into the sky. At the same time, the government servants who were guarding outside Niu's shop only heard a gentle voice saying,

"The things here have been taken care of, you can just bury the body in it!"

"Yes!"

The government officials hurriedly responded, and when they raised their heads, they saw a ray of light passing above their heads, flying towards the mountains behind the town extremely quickly...

Gu Shiyi was driving the old horse and pulling the dilapidated cart onto a rarely traveled path. The road was rugged, the ground was uneven, and sometimes there were big rocks blocking the road. It was really difficult to walk. Fortunately, Gu Shiyi had some magic power, so when he encountered When a boulder blocked the road, she luckily moved it out of the way and drove the carriage over. She was not in a hurry and walked slowly all the way. After three miles, it was already dark.

"Let's spend the night here!"

Gu Shiyi drove the carriage to a small valley with a relatively gentle terrain. There was a gurgling stream flowing just a few feet away. Gu Shiyi went over to fill some water in a water bag and gave it to the broken earthen jar. The king poured water, then untied the old horse and let it eat grass and drink water nearby. A fire was lit in this compartment, and he sat beside the fire. Within a moment, the cold air in the mountains dissipated, and Gu Shiyi took out a piece of dry bun. Come and heat it up. He smiled at Li Yaner who was sitting on the big stone on one side and said,

"Fortunately, neither you nor the king need to eat or drink. It's just me, so I can save a lot of money!"

Li Yan'er smiled, but her smile was a little lonely.

"I've forgotten what food tastes like!"

Gu Shiyi saw her disappointment and comforted her quickly,

"When you find a suitable body, you can eat as much as you want. It's best if you come from a wealthy family, where you can prepare delicacies from mountains and seas!"

Li Yan'er nodded and smiled,
"You're right... I will definitely eat all the delicacies in this world from now on..."

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a horse neighing. Gu Shiyi was startled and turned to look at the old horse, only to see it snorting heavily from its nostrils and running towards the fire with a clatter. The old horse was stunned. It is also clever and will hide behind its owner when it senses conflict.

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows and jumped up, but at the same time he reached out and grabbed the baggage on the side, and pulled out the old Taoist priest's mahogany sword from it.
"what happened?"

Li Yaner hid beside the king with a nervous look on her face. The king twisted his body and said in a high-pitched voice,

"Gu Shiyi, he has a strange aura..."

Gu Shiyi looked solemn, looked around, nodded and replied in a deep voice,

"It does have the aura of spirits, don't be afraid..."

A lone traveler in the mountains is most likely to provoke mountain spirits and wild monsters. She and the old Taoist priest have encountered them countless times. Looking around, Gu Shiyi's eyes fell on the dark woods not far ahead, and the corner of his mouth raised. teased,

"It doesn't matter, I guess the Taoism is not deep..."

After saying that, she sat back down as if nothing had happened. She picked up the soft baked bun and took a few mouthfuls with water. She looked at the grass in front of her calmly. The king snorted,
"He's just a little weirdo who dares to be arrogant in front of this king!"

Gu Shi rolled his eyes at it.
"Shut up. As far as I know, there are some powerful spirits in this mountain. All of them have been practicing for hundreds of years. Although you have lived for 1000 years, you are just a pine tree spirit. Apart from bullying other plants and trees, You don’t know how to seize territory, so don’t be arrogant!"

If it is like this, if it is noticed by other spirits, it has no ability except to sneak into the ground and jump away. If it meets a spirit that is also proficient in earth escape, it will be given away this ray of spirit in vain. A portion of the meal!
The king was stabbed in his weak point by her, and he did not dare to speak loudly anymore. He stood there motionless. Li Yan'er, seeing this kind of battle for the first time, couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She lay down behind the broken earthen pot and poked half of her head out. , and looked in the direction Gu Shiyi was looking. Sure enough, there was a thin rustling sound coming from there, something was coming!

Li Yaner looked nervous,
"what?"

The king shook his body and responded,
"It's just a grass spirit, don't pay attention to it!"

No matter how bad you are, you can't be afraid of this little grass spirit!
"But... you have to be careful. If you are caught by someone and crushed by a few feet, you will not be possessed by anything and you will become a lonely ghost!"

The life of a lonely ghost is not good. When you encounter those ghost kings with profound knowledge, you are turned into a ghost slave and enslaved. Unless your soul is gone, you will never be able to escape!
Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes at the king and comforted his frightened best friend and said,
"Don't be afraid. Plant and tree spirits are afraid of fire. As long as there is a fire, they won't dare to get too close!"

As he spoke, the rustling stopped, and something stopped in the grass near the fire. Not long after, something dark poked its head out of the grass. Li Yaner took a closer look and saw a A lumpy human-shaped thing emerged from the grass. The thing had a head, a body, and limbs. Wherever the firelight shone, you could see that the round thing like a head had a few grass sticks on it. , but it is full of lumps, has no eyes, ears, mouth, nose or facial features, and is about the size of a human palm.
"so small……"
