Fairy Desire

After dinner, seeing Yan Shi who was dawdling and unwilling to go back to his room to rest, Meng Xiang showed a playful look: "Shitou, are you really afraid that ghosts will come looking for you at night? You are a dignified man, what are you afraid of? Then, didn't the old man say that if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Shitou, you are so afraid, have you done something wrong?"

Yan Shi was a little annoyed by Meng Xiang's teasing: "Brother Meng, what nonsense are you talking about? We've been together all this time. Don't you know if I've done anything wrong?"

"Tsk tsk!" Meng Xiang shook his head, "Shitou, you are a real person, you can't take a joke."

"Okay. Brother Meng, let's stop joking. Are you really not afraid of buying this 'haunted house'? You must know that the previous three homeowners who were greedy for cheap are all dead."

"Stone, do you really believe in ghosts?"

"Brother Meng, don't you believe it?"

"I believe it, but I don't believe there are ghosts in this house."

"However, the previous three homeowners all died in this house, each of them was sucked out of blood, and a dozen people turned into skinny skeletons overnight, and there was no trace of the murderer at all. If ghosts didn't kill them, how did they die, and how did they die so strangely and horribly?"

Meng Xiang raised his head, glanced at the dark night outside the house, and suddenly asked in a faint tone: "Stone, do you have the guts?"

"Bold? Of course I have. Brother Meng, why are you asking this?"

"Since you have the guts, why don't you stay with me tonight, and let's find that harmful 'ghost' together?"

Yan Shi's face was a little cloudy, and he said, "Looking for ghosts? Brother Meng, isn't this too exciting?"

"Counseled? Shitou, let me tell you, we will live in this house for a few years. If you don't find out that 'ghost', you will be terrified every night for the next few years. Of course, if you don't want to look for it, I won't force it, anyway, it's not me who suffers."

Yan Shi thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay. Brother Meng, I'll go catch that ghost with you."

"This is a man." Meng Xiang patted Yan Shi heavily on the shoulder, showing approval.

Just when Yan Shi wanted to ask Meng Xiang how to find the ghost, he suddenly heard the bactrian flying camel in the stable in the backyard making an uneasy cry, as if it was frightened by something terrible.

"The 'ghost' has come out." Meng Xiang's eyes showed a gleam of excitement, he jumped up from the chair, and hurried to the stable in the backyard.Yan Shi looked at the back of Meng Xiang who was going away quickly, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly followed.

When Yan Shi rushed to the backyard, he found that apart from Meng Xiang, there was no other eye-catching thing at all, and naturally there were no so-called "ghosts"!But he soon realized something was wrong. For some reason, Meng Xiang stood there straight and motionless.

Could it be that Brother Meng has been poisoned by that harmful "ghost"?Yan Shi's heart tightened suddenly, and he felt a little out of breath.After about five seconds, he took a deep breath, and slowly turned in front of Meng Xiang, ready to see any changes on his face.

Just when he was about to see Meng Xiang clearly, a powerful big hand pushed him aside, and at the same time, a somewhat impatient voice came into his ears: "Stone, I asked you to help, you block it." What are you doing in front of my eyes? I am looking for the trace left by that 'ghost'."

"This..." Yan Shi showed an embarrassing expression, "Brother Meng, you...have you found that harmful 'ghost' already?"

"I didn't find the 'ghost'. But I found some clues. Look at the hind legs of that flying camel." Meng Xiang pointed to the left leg of a Bactrian flying camel that seemed a bit uneasy, and walked over .

Yan Shi followed, and quickly discovered the abnormality pointed out by Meng Xiang. There were some small red spots the size of sesame seeds on the back of the flying camel's left leg.If it weren't for his sharp eyesight, he couldn't see at all in the dark night.

However, for a while, he couldn't guess what those little red dots were.However, Meng Xiang didn't let his doubts last too long. He stretched out his fingers and touched those red dots, and his fingers immediately turned red.

"Blood? Why is there blood on the flying camel's legs?" Yan Shi looked around, his expression suddenly tense.

"Don't be afraid, those are the blood of the flying camel itself."

"Fei Tuo's own blood?" Yan Shi showed a puzzled look, but he soon understood why those blood drops appeared.

Meng Xiang peeled back the flying camel's fur, and he could clearly see that its skin was covered with small holes the size of pinholes, and blood was slowly flowing out from those small holes.

"Brother Meng, isn't that so-called harmful ghost a real ghost, but a monster that sucks blood?" Yan Shi showed all his thoughts.

"Shitou, you're not stupid enough yet." Meng Xiang nodded.

"Brother Meng, what kind of monster is that? Isn't it too fast? We rushed over just after we heard the movement, but in the blink of an eye, it had already disappeared."

Meng Xiang ignored him, but carefully opened the grass next to the stable, as if looking for something.After about 5 minutes, he stopped under a pillar supporting the stable, staring at the ground, watching carefully, and seemed to have made a major discovery.

Yan Shi couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, walked over, and cast his eyes on the ground as well, but after looking for a while, he didn't see anything.In his eyes, it was just an ordinary piece of ground, nothing unusual.

"Brother Meng, what did you find?"

Meng Xiang didn't answer his question, stretched out his hand and broke off a thin grass stalk from the side, and gently inserted it into the upper left corner of the open space.Yan Shi's eyes followed involuntarily, and he gathered his eyes together, looking at the place where the grass stem was inserted.

This time, he finally discovered the abnormality. There were some small holes that were thinner than the grass stems where the grass stems were inserted and its surroundings.

Suddenly a thought flashed through Yan Shi's mind, and he blurted out: "Could it be that the monster that sucked the blood of the flying camel came from underground?"

This time Meng Xiang finally responded, but instead of answering his question, he drew out the long knife at his waist and slashed towards his feet.

Yan Shi pushed his feet hard, and while jumping up, he shouted: "Brother Meng, what are you doing? Why are you cutting..." Before he finished speaking, he found that his feet seemed to be entangled by something, and he couldn't jump at all. stand up.

At the same time, Meng Xiangzhong's long knife turned into a swimming cold light and quickly circled around his feet, and then the light of the knife flashed, and the long knife was put into the scabbard.

Yan Shi moved his legs that had regained their freedom, and found that there were many dark brown threads that were not much thicker than a hair on the soles of his feet, ankles, and calves.

After tugging, he found that those thin wire-like things were extremely strong, even stronger than iron wire of the same thickness.He tore some off with all his strength, took it in his hand, and asked, "Brother Meng, what is this?"

Meng Xiang didn't answer his question, but just pointed to Fei Tuo's injured leg, which made Yan Shi exclaim: "Could it be... Could it be that these things are blood-sucking monsters?"

Meng Xiang glanced at him, then suddenly pulled out the knife again, and stabbed him in the chest, Yan Shi was startled immediately, and fled to the side in a panic.

Almost at the same time, Meng Xiang took a step forward, the long knife passed through Yan Shi's original position, and then his wrists moved together, the long knife cut out pieces of light, followed by a series of crackling sounds of cutting things .

Yan, who had just gained a firm foothold, noticed from the corner of his eyes that some waving, snake-like things were cut off and fell to the ground when the knife flashed past.

Meng Xiang walked over and picked up a long strip that was cut off by the long knife with the tip of the knife.This time, Yan Shi finally saw it clearly. It should be the root of a plant, about the thickness of a little finger, and there are many dark brown threads on it that are exactly the same as those wrapped around his feet before.Their identity should be the roots on the roots.

Imagining those roots piercing into the skin to suck blood, Yan Shi couldn't help shivering all over his body. He hurriedly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and looked around to prevent those terrible roots and the roots on it from suddenly emerging from the ground. Come out and launch a sneak attack.

At this time, Meng Xiang put the long knife back into the scabbard, and said lightly: "Stone, don't be nervous anymore. The monster has already left."

In view of the weirdness of the roots and the roots above, although Yan Shi believed in Meng Xiang's judgment, he still did not dare to relax his vigilance. When Meng Xiang went back and forth in the yard looking for something, he kept following him with his knife Behind him, he maintained a posture of making a move at any time.

Facts proved that Meng Xiang's statement was correct. For the next half an hour, neither the weird root nor the smaller roots on it appeared again.

Gradually, Yan Shi relaxed and asked, "Brother Meng, what kind of root is that? Why is it so scary?"

"I don't know about that either." Meng Xiang shook his head, "But judging from the situation just now, the previous three homeowners and their families should have been sucked to death by this bloodthirsty monster."

Speaking of this, Meng Xiang raised his head and pointed to the side room not far away: "Stone, go and get the shovel, shovel, pickaxe and the big basket of soil I bought. I want to take this blood-sucking monster Dig it out."

Did Brother Meng already know what a monster is?Otherwise, how could he have bought the tools for digging in advance?Yan Shi didn't ask any more questions, and went to get the digging tools, but Meng Xiang became more and more unpredictable in his mind.

In fact, Yan Shi guessed right, Meng Xiang did know what was playing tricks in the house, but it was not because of Meng Xiang's own cleverness, but because of his past life memories.

In his previous life, Meng Xiang knew the existence of this "haunted house" shortly after he came to Ironwood City.He knew it from the wandering homeless people, because some homeless people once entered here, and then they never appeared again. In the end, only skeletons that had been sucked dry of blood were found.

As for the real unraveling of the secrets of the "Haunted House", we will have to wait until the Dragon Gate Conference a few years later.There is a fairy sect that participated in the Longmen Conference called Jingxu Sect. The cultivators of this sect are all women, and they are unwilling to live in the guest house arranged by the city lord Qi Changzheng, so they fell in love with this "haunted house". Only the nuns of Xuzong unraveled the secret.
