Kunlun one millet

Chapter 3 Lishan hides the evil spirit

Zhao Mi was awakened by a scream, he turned over and got up, but Ling Xiao didn't show up, her voice sounded in his mind: "Things have changed."

"There's no reason." Zhao Mi had just changed into clothes when someone slammed on the door outside the guest room.

"What happened?" Zhao Mi asked as he opened the door.

The servants of the Dai family were panicked: "Master, master... the guest, go and have a look!"

"lead the way!"

Zhao Shu carried the bamboo box on his back, and followed the servants to the other courtyard suspiciously. What he saw was a bloody scene.

The body of a servant fell on the stone steps outside the door, the chest and abdomen were torn apart, the broken internal organs were thrown everywhere, there was an obvious wound in the throat, blood flowed all over the place, and there were blurred bloody footprints extended to the courtyard wall.

On the other side of the other courtyard, Mr. Dai fainted and fell down. The housekeeper's servant pinned him down, his chest hung down, and he didn't wake up at all.

"I'll do it." Seeing this, Zhao Mi dug out a small porcelain bottle from the bamboo box. After uncorking the bottle, a burst of purple smoke slowly rose. Zhao Shu hurriedly put the porcelain bottle under Master Dai's nose and shook it gently.

This soul-returning incense is the most precious thing in Zhao Mi's bamboo box. It can not only wake up the comatose people, even if the dying person smells it, it can barely hang their lives and explain the funeral.

Master Dai took a sharp breath, and Zhao Mi pulled his hands in pain, and carefully put away the porcelain bottle. Before he could speak, Master Dai wailed:
"My son—"

Zhao Mi didn't want to waste time, so he asked the housekeeper, "What happened? Where's your young master?"

"I don't know. I heard someone shouting, so I rushed over with the master." The butler was sweating coldly, and he was terrified at the first glance: "Young master, he seemed to have been hit by something evil. He bit the boy servant to death, and then Climb out of the courtyard wall and run away..."

Zhao Mi gritted his teeth, got up and went outside the bedroom, walked around the bloody corpse in front of the door, and entered it carefully.Seeing that the situation inside was even more tragic, a maid fell on the bed, and the blood stained the bedding curtains into red and black.The maid's throat was also bitten open, and her belly was dismembered, with the expression of fear at the moment of death still on her face.

A courageous health servant glanced into the room, and was immediately startled and turned around to run away. There was a sound of vomiting in the distance.

"How did this happen?" Zhao Mi was also full of confusion, and asked Lingxiao secretly: "The wolf dog spirit monster that was attached to the young master of the Dai family before has been completely wiped out. The "Shenhu Yinwen" you taught me can deal with spirit monsters." The evil spirit is very effective, it is impossible to reproduce it again and again."

"Now I can only use your eyes and ears to judge. Ordinary miscellaneous spirits can only attach to those who are weak and mentally weak. If it is really a ferocious ghost, this young master of the Dai family can't support you to get rid of it." , the vitality will be exhausted." Lingxiao gave his own judgment: "There is something hidden about this matter, it's not like ordinary ghosts."

"Is it possible that the Dai family was cursed by people from Nightmare Town?" Zhao Mi asked, "I heard on the way that the Dai family is not well received by the people inside and outside Chengyang County."

Lingxiao replied: "It's not impossible. But when ordinary people cast witchcraft and nightmare charms, the effect is uncertain, and they often do too much but have no results. Like Master Dai, he was possessed twice in succession, even to the point of devouring people and blood. It's definitely not an ordinary nightmare technique."

"A powerful person is eyeing the Dai family?" Zhao Mi scratched his head, he obviously planned to do some work for the big family to exorcise evil spirits and build houses, who would have thought that there was something behind it?
"What are you going to do?" Lingxiao's tone was more scrutinizing.

"It's up to you." Zhao Mi simply replied: "If I go back to the Huaiying Hall now, it won't be easy to do it in front of the head seat. First find the young master of the Dai family, and I think I can follow the clues to find the mastermind behind it."

Walking out of the bedroom, Mr. Dai was still sitting slumped on the ground, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant, Zhao Shu said in relief: "Mr. Dai, since I haven't left yet, this matter will naturally not be ignored. The situation is unknown now, and I need Find your son first. If there are no other accidents, please don't report to the official."

Zhao Mi is a talisman official in the Huaiying Museum. Although he has no serious rank, he is exempted from corvee and tax. After all, all the museums in various places are reserved for the state, and the talisman official is considered a public figure.If you go one step further, it will be equivalent to a formal official status.

But if something like this happened to the Dai family, it would be a big loss of face. If the young master of the Dai family hurt someone outside, it would be difficult for the officials.Master Dai understood the reasoning, and nodded with difficulty: "Then I'll have to thank Mr. Zhao."

Asking Dai's family to leave the other courtyard, Zhao Mi took out the Qingxuan pen and swiped it lightly in front of his eyes. The "Yingxuan Illumination Technique" that can understand the flow of air flow was activated, and he naturally saw the fierce aura all over the garden. Also mixed with other air machines.

Whatever you do, you will be angry.Especially in places where killings have occurred, it is often difficult to conceal the fierceness.If there is a fortune teller who is good at horoscope and divination, at this moment, he can infer the current location of the assailant by sensing the aura, unless the assailant knows how to hide and hide.

However, Zhao Mi didn't have a deep understanding of Zhanhou's study, and only relied on the techniques taught by Lingxiao to gain insight into Qi.

Looking at the ray of evil spirit in the evil spirit, Zhao Shu picked up the pen to draw falsely, condensing the evil spirit into the tip of the pen as if peeling off the cocoon.Then take out the white paper and cinnabar, write a chasing talisman on the white paper, fold it into a paper crane, and recite the mantra:

"The red talisman pursues and hunts down evil spirits. Everything is wrong, and I am ordered to reveal it!"

After chanting the mantra, the paper crane naturally flew into the air, circled twice above Zhao Mi's head, and flew towards the outside of the courtyard wall.Seeing this, Zhao Shu picked up the bamboo box on his back, kicked off the wall with his feet, and climbed over the wall vigorously.

……

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the heat was unbearable.Wang Miaoshou carried two buckets of water to the edge of the vegetable garden.An old man about his age came walking with a cane, one of his trousers was empty and tied with a small knot.

The old man Chuaiai brought a gourd, scooped up water and splashed it on the vegetable field, and at the same time said: "Boss Wang, when you went to Dai's house yesterday, those rascals came to steal vegetables again."

Wang Miaoshou looked around and said, "There are a lot of dishes."

"I chased them away." The old man with clubs and claws sighed: "The strength has become more and more weak in the past two years. If it were back then, I would have broken their necks with my bare hands."

"Okay! Just like you were back then?" Wang Miaoshou joked: "The first time I went to the battlefield, I just peed in my crotch. I was clearly wearing heavy armor, and I was shot by the barbarians of Jiuli Kingdom. I didn't even have skin Broken, immediately cried for father and mother. Later, the old general punished you with thirty lashes, didn't I carry half of it for you?"

The old man with club abducted laughed, and Wang Miaoshou continued, "Don't worry, I will be able to give my brothers a home in a few days."

"What's the matter? Dai Jia is willing to spit out what he eats?"

Wang Miaoshou curled his lips and said, "Just wait, don't ask too many questions."

"Boss Wang." The old man stopped and said, "What's the matter with you recently? You haven't seen anyone for three days, and the brothers are worried about you."

The old man Chuaiguai still wanted to talk, but Wang Miaoshou suddenly stood up and looked up at Zhao Mi who was pinching a paper crane outside the vegetable garden.

"Zhao Fuli? Why are you here?"

Zhao Mi followed Zhishe Zhihe all the way to the south of the city, and stopped for a while when he saw Wang Miaoshou halfway.Judging from Yingxuan's landscape photography technique, this old man has strong vitality and killing blood. Thinking of the stick technique he used against Young Master Dai yesterday, if he could help him, he might be able to save a lot of trouble.

"Wang Miaoshou, can you take the liberty to negotiate?"

Seeing that Zhao Mi didn't intend to come in, Wang Miaoshou put down the bucket, wiped his hands and walked out of the vegetable garden, and asked with a restrained face, "I don't know what orders Zhao Fuli has?"

"It's not about instigating." Zhao Mi looked around, under the scorching sun, heat was rising from the withered and yellow earth, the light and shadow in the distance twisted, and the scenery was in a trance.A leaky General’s Temple, several sections of dilapidated rammed-earth courtyard walls, and old soldiers with severed limbs curled up under the corners, who resemble statues, are the real situation of this land.

"I wonder if Wang Miaoshou saw the young master of the Dai family passing by?"

Hearing this question, Wang Miaoshou was taken aback for a moment: "Master Dai? Is he awake?"

Zhao Mi nodded: "Not only did he wake up, but the situation was more serious than yesterday. He killed two servants at home and fled Chengyang County. I was trying to track down the evil spirit with magic, but the evil spirit was destroyed by the sun after leaving the city. The clues are slim, so I want to ask you if you notice anything unusual."

Wang Miaoshou was at a loss: "How could this be? Obviously Zhao Fuli had already killed the spirits yesterday, and I have also checked, and there is no external evil on the young master of the Dai family."

"I suspect that someone is trying to suppress witchcraft and nightmares against Dai's family." Zhao Mi asked, "Wang Miao has been guarding Chengyang for a long time. Do you know of any monks who are good at this?"

"This...to tell you the truth about Zhao Fuli, my little old man, the temple guardian, is not very authentic. I really don't recognize a few local magicians. Like that Mr. Zhu, I saw it for the first time yesterday." Wang Wang The temple guard was ashamed of his words.

Zhao Mi nodded slightly. He looked to the south, and he could vaguely see hills rising and falling, so he asked, "What is the name of that mountain?"

"That's Alexander."

Zhao Mi frowned: "Where is Mr. Zhu's cave?"

"Yes." Wang Miaoshou said: "It is said that a long time ago, a fairy descended from Mount Li, and at night you can still see colorful lights soaring into the sky."

"Is it the same now?" Zhao Mi suddenly became interested.

Seeing Wang Miaoshou shaking his head: "Where are there any more now? Outside the city at night, it's dark."

"I'm going to visit Mount Li. I wonder if I can go with Wang Miaoshou?" Zhao Mi asked.

Wang Miaoshou showed a look of embarrassment, and he motioned to the vegetable garden behind: "Zhao Fuli, this..."

"I was abrupt."

Zhao Mi also understood that most of the village temples could not live a prosperous life. Wang Miaoshou had to take care of a group of disabled old soldiers, so life was hard to avoid, and he needed to carry water and grow vegetables by himself.

After saying goodbye to Wang Miaoshou, Zhao Mi continued to travel south.Not far away, I heard Lingxiao suddenly say: "That temple guard has a fierce aura about him."

"What's so strange about this?" Zhao Mi didn't think it was strange: "He is an old soldier who has experienced the Great War of the Five Kingdoms. I have seen many such people. Yes. The battlefield is cruel, so I don’t think I need to say much.”

"Since ancient times, wars have been fierce and dangerous, and old qi and ghosts are the most likely to breed and form evil spirits." Lingxiao reminded: "In my opinion, the current Kunlun Continent seems to have subsided from the war, but it has not wiped out the old qi with openness. causing the scum to rise."

"You have been sealed for thousands of years, and you have only been with me for a few months, and you can understand the current world?" Zhao Mi was a little curious.

Lingxiao didn't hide it: "I'm not ignorant in the Zhenyuan lock. Every time I change hands, I can more or less notice the changes in the current situation."

"Okay." Zhao Mi said: "But I can't control too much, first go to Lishan to find Mr. Zhu, he may know something about it."

Lishan Mountain is not a majestic and towering famous mountain peak, but it is also an ordinary vegetation from a distance, and there is not much magical weather to be seen.When Zhao Mi went to the foot of the mountain, he happened to bump into a woodcutter going down the mountain, so he went up to chat and inquire, and learned the general direction of Yanquan Cave.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhu didn't seem to understand the art of forbidden formations, and there were no other obstacles to go to Yanquan Cave except for the rugged mountain road.

Zhao Mi crossed the mountain ridge and saw a small stream, so he knew that Yanquan Cave was close at hand.At the same time, he noticed that all kinds of qi around him were converging towards a higher place.

"Mr. Zhu is exhaling and refining Qi?" Zhao Mi was a little surprised: "Mobilizing the Manshan Qi machine, this is not bad!"

"No." Lingxiao warned: "The qi mechanism is inhaled but not exhaled, this is not the art of inhaling."

Zhao Mi made a decisive decision, and shook out a spell from his sleeve. The hand formula changed instantly, and he shouted: "The golden armor protects the body from death!"

A layer of golden light that is difficult to detect with the naked eye flows around Zhao Mi's body. This is the "Golden Armor Technique" passed down by the Huaiying Pavilion.Zhao Mi not only mastered this skill, but also wrote it into a spell early for backup.

Holding the Qingxuan pen in his hand, Zhao Mi didn't dare to be careless. He followed the stream and approached the Yanquan Cave carefully, and then walked hundreds of steps to the high place, and saw a horrifying scene when he looked up.

In a huge cave, there is a strange wooden sculpture.It was the hollow shell left after the vines strangled the tree, with intertwined branches extending in all directions, roughly humanoid.But Mr. Zhu was trapped in the vine, countless roots pierced his chest, and then grew out of the seven orifices on his head and face. It is impossible to imagine the tragedy under his skin.

"Who are you..."

Mr. Zhu's body trembled, and he made a strange hoarse voice, and the roots of the seven orifices with dried blood swayed alive.

Zhao Mi didn't bother to reply at all, he was sure that the mountain spirit in front of him had become a climate, and he would only answer it when he was crazy.Although Mr. Zhu was arrogant, but at least he had good skills, but he was still killed by him.

In short, in Zhao Mi's eyes, this demon vine uses Mr. Zhu as a medium to absorb Lishan's energy and nourish itself.

The two sides faced each other silently for a while, except for the sound of the gurgling stream, the atmosphere inside and outside the cave was deadly.

Whoosh!
With the sound of breaking through the air, the demon vine threw out several vines and attacked.Zhao Mi didn't recite the mantra, and didn't make any formulas with his hands, and he pointed forward with the Qingxuan brush, and a few sparks suddenly appeared, and they rushed towards the demon vine.

At the beginning, Mars was as small as a firefly, but in an instant it swelled up like a fist, scorching people's faces with raging heat.The demon vine reacted quickly, and the vine instantly curled up into a shield, blocking a few sparks and sending sawdust flying, but it was not enough to shake the foundation.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mi didn't fight it to the end at all, took advantage of the monster vine to protect himself, turned around and ran down the mountain, as fast as a swipe.
