It turns out that zombies have limited endurance and cannot run a marathon.
After leaving Jiang Baiyan's courtyard, Shi Dai took Qingqing all the way back to the front yard of Shi Mansion and met the others waiting here.
"It seems that my talisman can control it to travel for two hours at most."
Song Ningyan stroked Qingqing's cheek: "Two hours, is it enough?"
The zombie narrowed his eyes slightly and rubbed Song Ningyan's palm.
"Of course it's enough."
Shi Dai smiled: "In two hours, not only can zombies travel throughout Chang'an City, but they can also visit surrounding towns. The delivery business in Chang'an City alone can make a lot of money."
Although she can't do long-distance express delivery, short-distance takeout is also very good. It's all about making money, and she doesn't choose.
Meng Ke was also very satisfied.
Zombies are fast, efficient, and most importantly, good at fighting. Their strength far exceeds that of most escorts, so you don't have to worry about being robbed along the way.
A perfect delivery to the chosen one!
Ah Li, who was lying on Shi Dai's shoulder:...
From being a well-known evil creature to being a deliveryman in Dazhao, does a zombie have no respect for it?
Zombies won't feel tired. Qingqing has been running wildly for so long and is now full of life.
Happy to be praised, the famous fierce creature jumped twice on the spot, with the corner of its mouth raised slightly, as if it could still fight for three hundred rounds.
Ahri:......
Well, zombies don’t want to lose face.
"As for Miss Achun, I will take her to the powder shop tomorrow to have a look."
Meng Ke smiled like a fox: "After you and Qingqing left, we discussed a brilliant idea. We can let Achun put makeup on the zombies so that they look like normal people and will not scare people when walking on the road. ."
One plus one is greater than two, this is called a combination card.
After the group's discussion was over, Shi Dai went back to her room to rest. It was already ugly time.
Ah Li was so sleepy that his eyelids were twitching. He was lying on her shoulder, half asleep and half awake, when he suddenly heard Shi Dai let out a light sigh.
Only when she opened her eyes did she realize that a pure black envelope had fallen in front of Shi Dai's bedroom window.
The envelope is painted with dark gold and complex patterns, which is the unique mark of Zhenesi.
come to live?
Stepping forward through the falling snow, Shi Dai opened the envelope. As expected, she saw clearly a line of large characters with flying dragons and phoenixes:
"Tomorrow, at the time of You, we will suppress Esi."
strangeness.
In "Records of Common People", the original owner did not receive this letter.
"It's called the butterfly effect."
Ahri said: "In the original owner's life path, she took the initiative to go to Zhen'es today and took on a monster-catching mission. You met the Painted Skin Monster on the way, which is different from her experience."
After speaking, he sighed with regret: "Unfortunately, if you follow the plot, you can predict the future."
Shi Dai had no interest in this.
Instead of following the plot on thin ice and reaping the dividends of "unforeseen events", it is better to live according to your own preferences and follow your heart.
After folding the letter paper, Shi Dai entered the bedroom.
"Speaking of which," Shi Dai turned her head and looked at the snow-white plush, "How can we find clues to the world-destroying disaster you mentioned?"
"There have been no clues recently."
At the mention of this matter, Ah Li was startled: "After a while, changes will gradually occur in Da Zhao. You should work hard in Zhen'Esi and pay more attention to the news."
Shi Dai: "No problem."
To her, Dazhao is like a picture scroll depicting thousands of gods, ghosts and evil spirits, strange but beautiful.
Being able to see more in Zhen'Esi was just what she wanted.
It was getting late, and the moon was hidden among the clouds.
Shi Dai touched the little white fox's plush head and said, "See you tomorrow, good night."
*
When Shi Dai got up and went to the dining room the next day, she happened to meet Jiang Baiyan.
He has a light taste and often eats plain soup noodles and cakes.
Unlike Shi Dai, I like all kinds of delicious food, sour, sweet and spicy.
This man's eating habits were also different from hers. He was eating a bowl of Yangchun noodles slowly with his eyes half lowered, quietly and with his back straight.
Shi Dai did not forget the scene when the blood poison attacked last night and caught a glimpse of his pale profile: "Mr. Jiang, are you feeling better?"
The blood on his face is very light.
Looking at the palm that was scratched by his own hands, there was no bandage, but the bleeding had stopped, and a long dark red mark appeared.
Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes.
Last night he put his sword across Shi Dai's neck, and anyone else would have backed away from him.
Judging from her calm expression, she seemed to really not care.
Following Shi Dai's gaze and glancing at the hideous blood marks on his palm, Jiang Baiyan said softly: "It's okay, thank you Miss Shi."
"It's better if you put a bandage on it."
Shi Dai kindly reminded: "Otherwise the wound may be more serious."
Even if you apply medicine, you can still get infected.
Shi Dai inexplicably wondered whether Jiang Baiyan didn't even take the medicine.
"Miss."
The maid picked branches and waited aside: "Come and enjoy your meal. Today the cook made your favorite single-cage golden pastry."
Speaking of food, Shi Dai came to her senses for a moment: "Is there any soft date cake? I can smell the fragrance."
"Yes."
Caizhi smiled and said: "I originally made fish soup, but unexpectedly a cat suddenly ran in and took the fish in its mouth."
Shi Dai found it interesting and laughed: "Did that cat fly over the eaves and walk over the wall? It's a very light skill to be able to get into the courtyard wall of the mansion."
"I ended up getting caught anyway."
Meng Ke's voice sounded from behind: "Look, the cat got both the stolen goods and the stolen goods."
Shi Dai turned around and saw Meng Ke holding a black cat in his arms, standing with Shen Liushuang in front of the dining room door.
Meng Ke couldn't stop talking: "Earlier, Liu Shuang and I came to the dining hall and just saw it jumping out."
"Liu Shuang captured him in one fell swoop."
Meng Ke lowered his head and gently pinched the side of the black cat's face: "It runs very fast."
The black cat opened his round eyes wide and looked at her pitifully.
Shi Dai rolled his eyes, closed his two front paws, and bowed to Meng Ke: "Sir, the grass cat has realized his mistake. Please spare me."
Her laughter was clear and clear, with a hint of coquettishness toward Meng Ke, and fell on her ears like a clear spring stirring rocks.
Jiang Baiyan raised his long eyelashes and glanced at Shi Dai's fair face.
Children from aristocratic families in Chang'an are often gentle and decent, with a noble air in their actions.
In comparison, Shi Dai’s character can’t really be called a follower of the rules——
He loves to eat and play. As long as he feels happy, he will smile without concealment. His vitality is too great for people to ignore.
It is difficult for Jiang Baiyan to understand such a person.
Just as he didn't understand why an ordinary black cat could make her smile and look happy.
He never thought there was anything special about these animals. For him, the various pastries were only useful for wrapping his belly.
Suddenly, Shi Dai, who was playing with the cat, turned her head.
Their eyes met, she raised her lips, held the cat's paw and waved it: "Master Jiang, do you want to come and take a look?"
The fingertips lightly rubbed the knife mark on his palm, and the pain gave him a brief moment of joy.
After looking at Shi Dai for a moment, Jiang Baiyan looked away: "Thank you, no need."
*
Youshi is evening.
Shi Dai went to Zhenesi this time. Besides Ah Li, there was also a small shadow following her.
——Shi Yunsheng walked beside her with a sullen face, occasionally puffing out his cheeks and kicking away pebbles on the road.
After the child was retrieved from the wolves and returned to the Shi Mansion, he studied in the school for a period of time.However, Shi Yunsheng had no interest in studying, but was keen on learning swordsmanship from Shi Jingcheng.
Today, when I heard that Shi Dai was going to Zhenesi, the child's eyes showed envy, but he quickly suppressed her.
Shi Dai was keenly aware of it and asked him openly if he wanted to visit Zhen'es.
"I-I don't really want to go."
While following her obediently, Shi Yunsheng stuttered and muttered in a low voice: "It's just... difficult."
Shi Dai smiled and stretched out her hand to touch his head: "Okay, okay, reluctantly."
what is this?
The duplicitous and arrogant little wolf touched it first, and it turned out to be soft.
Being suddenly attacked by Shi Dai, Shi Yunsheng's back stiffened slightly, a low whine came out of his throat, and he glared at her with his dark eyes.
Unfortunately, the aura was soft and non-threatening.
Within the Jokhang territory, every state has a Zhen'e division, which is responsible for the affairs of ghosts, gods and evil spirits, and gathers people from all three religions and nine streams.
This place in Chang'an City is where the headquarters is located.
The red door is wide open, and the golden nanmu plaque is thick and solemn.It can't be called luxurious, but it contains a rich aura. The most eye-catching thing is the various people walking through it.
Tibetan monks, Miao Gu masters, Taoist monks, and Nanhai maidens all gathered here. No matter how many times she came, Shi Dai found it novel and interesting from the bottom of her heart.
Turning her eyes, Shi Dai inadvertently touched a familiar shadow.
Jiang Baiyan was actually in Zhenesi, and standing in front of him was a strange young man with a happy face.
Today he was wearing a bamboo-patterned robe with wide sleeves. Even though he had a sword on his waist, he didn't look too murderous. He looked like a young man from an aristocratic family who came to enjoy the winter snow.
Before Shi Dai could say anything, she saw a cold light flash beside her——
Shi Yunsheng drew his sword and rushed towards Jiang Baiyan.
Jiang Baiyan did not raise his head, his long sword was unsheathed, and he met Shi Yunsheng's long sword without leaning to either side.
The swords collided, making a clear sound in the cold wind.
The majestic sword energy was unstoppable. Shi Yunsheng grunted and was shaken away quickly.
……hateful!
The child sheathed the knife angrily, not forgetting to glare at Jiang Baiyan with an unconvinced look on his face.
Jiang Baiyan's expression remained unchanged: "Miss Shi, Young Master Shi."
Shi Dai sighed secretly, feeling a little headache.
For some unknown reason, Shi Yunsheng regarded Jiang Baiyan as his number one rival and wanted to fight him every day.
Of course, never won once.
"Why are Mr. Jiang here?"
Shi Dai tilted her head: "And this..."
Just now, Shi Yunsheng and Jiang Baiyan made a move, and the one who was most frightened was the strange young man in brocade clothes.
This man is young, about the same age as Shi Dai, has handsome features, and is dressed in such a way that he looks extremely wealthy.
Her black hair is tied up with a valuable jade crown, she is wearing a white fox cloak, a brocade sachet is tied around her waist, and she wears an emerald-colored jade ring on her right hand, which is crystal clear.
This young man, who looked very expensive at first sight, was so frightened that his face turned extremely pale, and he stepped back and almost fell down.
"Here, I'm Yan Qinghuan."
After barely calming down, the young man took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's the first time I've come to Zhen'es today... I'm laughing."
"He's the bell doctor."
Seeing Shi Yunsheng's confused expression, Jiang Baiyan explained: "The bell-ringing doctor practices medicine and is a charlatan who walks around the streets. He only needs to ring the bell in his hand, and people can hear the bell and seek medical advice."
Shi Dai had heard of this kind of doctor.
In my impression, the bell-ringing doctor lives all over the world and has nothing to offer, but this one in front of me...
Shi Dai looked at the priceless jade ring in Yan Qinghuan's hand.
"My father gave this to me."
Feeling her gaze, Yan Qinghuan said in surprise: "I have studied medicine since I was a child. I decided to become a bell doctor half a month ago, and then I left home and came to Chang'an."
Shi Dai was stunned: "Master Yan is not from Chang'an?"
"I'm from Yuezhou, Jiangnan."
Not knowing what he thought of, Yan Qinghuan clenched his fists excitedly: "In the storybook, most of the chivalrous and righteous things happened in Chang'an. I came here because of its reputation."
Storybook.
After capturing the key information, Shi Dai nodded clearly.
Understood.This is a rich young man who reads a lot of martial arts novels and dreams of slaying demons.
This is indeed the case.
Yan Qinghuan's heart was racing, and he nervously clenched his sleeves and looked at the three people in front of him.
He couldn't sleep last night. He finished watching "The Battle of Chang'an" for the fifth time on No. 20. He was full of expectations for Zhen Esi and looked forward to the morning.
Looking at it now, it is indeed extraordinary.
Is this the legendary General Secretary of Chang'an City?
It's so thrilling, so immersive, and even the way of greeting people is so unique, greeting each other with swords.
He won't die one day after being greeted warmly, right?
"My name is Shi Dai, and this is my younger brother, Shi Yunsheng."
Shi Dai smiled: "Young Master Yan and Young Master Jiang know each other?"
"See you for the first time."
Yan Qinghuan couldn't hide his excitement: "I got the order yesterday. From today on, I will investigate the case with your team."
a team?
Shi Dai looked at Jiang Baiyan.
There are twelve guards in Zhen'es Division, and each guard is divided into three squads.
Shi Dai joined Zhenesi not long ago and is currently an idler with no fixed team.
That is to say...
"The Zhen'e Division has issued an order, and the three of us will form a team for the time being."
Jiang Baiyan said in an ordinary tone: "Let us investigate the matter of the puppet master in Chang'an City."
Shi Dai: "Puppet master? The one we met last night?"
Shi Dai is very self-aware.
She and Yan Qinghuan are both newcomers. Although Jiang Baiyan has just entered the town of Esi, he has already made a name for himself and solved several major cases.
Let Jiang Baiyan lead the two of them, which is the old way of leading the new.
Thinking about it from another perspective, this task was given to them, which shows that it is not difficult.
"Exactly."
Jiang Baiyan took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms: "This case is very interesting. There was a chaos in Yongqingfang yesterday, and those who were manipulated by puppetry were all painted-skin demons."
Shi Dai poked her head curiously: "What is this piece of paper?"
"At the same time that the Painted Skin Demon appeared, someone wrote a story about a strange monster on paper and pasted it on the wall of Chang'an."
Jiang Baiyan handed the page to her: "In the story, a wealthy businessman did many evil things. He abandoned his wife and children, robbed people of their property, and forcibly married a young orphan girl as his concubine. On the night of the wedding, he saw the orphan girl peeling off her human skin. Bare withered bones. This story is called "Painted Skin." "Painted Skin corresponds exactly to the Painted Skin Demon.
Shi Dai's heart moved slightly and she nodded.
"What's even more interesting is that in "Painted Skin" it is said that the protagonist lives in Yongqingfang——"
Jiang Baiyan raised the corner of his mouth: "Yesterday, the only person who died in Yongqingfang was a businessman named Mu Tao. But unlike "Painted Skin", this man did not abandon his wife and children, and robbed civilian girls. Instead, he was a well-respected businessman. Good people."
In any case, the identity and place of death match. This is no coincidence.
After Yan Qinghuan heard this, he got goosebumps all over his body.
He, he, none of the horror stories he had read were so exciting.
Shi Dai suddenly realized: foretelling murder.
In the detective novels she read before, it was written that some murderers would use code words or stories to announce the target and location of the murder in advance.
In this way, it can cause panic and gain attention to a great extent.
"I met a painted-skin demon last night. According to her, the instructions given by the puppet master were just to scare people."
Recalling what Achun said, Shi Dai thought thoughtfully: "So... the puppet master has no intention of attacking civilians. The only person he really wants to kill is Mu Tao."
Since he only wanted to kill one person, why did the puppet master control so many painted-skinned monsters and cause trouble in the city and everyone knew about it?
Why kill a chicken with a bull's knife?
Shi Dai didn't have time to think more.
An exclamation interrupted his thoughts, piercing the dusk like a sharp arrow.
"No, it's not good!"
The person who came was a middle-aged man in a coarse cloth jacket. He hurried to Zhenesi Gate with a panicked look on his face: "Sir, someone has pasted that kind of paper in the Furong Garden... that kind of paper with stories written on it! "
They are the people who came to report the crime.
Shi Dai's heart skipped a beat: "Is there anyone dead in the story, and where did they die?"
The man stammered: "Chang, Changlefang!"
*
In the evening, the lanterns of Chang'an City were turned on, and the sunset was magnificent.
On the way to Changlefang, Yan Qinghuan was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
It's a murder case.
On the first day he entered Zhen'es, he encountered a murder case. It seemed that it was a series of major cases.
The middle-aged man in charge of the newspaper did not dare to tear off the pages in the Furong Garden, and gave them an outline based on his memory.
This time, the strange story is called "The Hanged Ghost".
As the name suggests, it is a ghost who hanged himself to death.
The protagonist of the story is a sanctimonious teacher. Because of his excessive greed, he took away his neighbor's life-saving money for medical treatment, causing the neighbor's whole family to hang themselves.
Needless to say about the ending, evil people will be punished, and the teacher was haunted by an innocent ghost and died tragically at home.
If the situation is the same as last night, a teacher will die in Changlefang tonight.
Seeing Yan Qinghuan's restraint, Shi Dai comforted her warmly: "Don't be afraid. Mr. Jiang is very skilled in swordsmanship. As long as he is here, nothing will happen."
Jiang Gongzi?
Hearing what she said, Shi Yunsheng beside him snorted lightly, and the next moment, someone touched his head.
Shi Dai held back a smile and said to Yan Qinghuan: "My brother's sword is also very powerful. I'll show you later."
This is the truth.
She remembered that Shi Yunsheng was extremely talented in swordsmanship. At a young age, he had already read several complicated sword manuals.
She praised her so bluntly that the child pursed his lips and looked away, feeling a slight heat behind his ears.
Flowers…Fancy words.
Before entering Changlefang, you can notice an oppressive and lifeless atmosphere.Dark fog gradually rose in the long street, and ghosts lingered.
Because he was a doctor, Yan Qinghuan knew nothing about martial arts. He leaned next to his teammates and caught a glimpse of Shi Yunsheng with a cold face from the corner of his eye.
The child followed him all the way, his face expressionless from beginning to end, and he only showed irritation when listening to Shi Dai's praise of Jiang Baiyan.
Judging from his expression, he is actually calmer than an adult like him.
No, it can't be.
He came to Chang'an to slay demons. As a knight, how can he be more timid than a child.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, Yan Qinghuan took a deep breath and walked into Changle Square with the other three people.
The long street was filled with gloom and gloom, not only Yan Qinghuan but also Shi Dai could not help but feel uneasy.
It was her first time handling a case, and it was much more exciting to experience the ghosts surrounding her than to watch a horror movie.
Subconsciously, Shi Dai looked at Jiang Baiyan.
Until now, he seemed to be strolling around, indifferent to everything around him.
This kind of leisurely laziness stems from Jiang Baiyan's extremely strong strength.
Because of this, being with him is very reassuring.
Shi Dai thought quietly that if she wanted to use a metaphor, Jiang Baiyan was like a high-level boss with full skill points in the game, taking a few of them out of the novice village.
He is indeed a good teammate of Dazhao.
Her gaze was uncovered and was quickly captured by Jiang Baiyan.
"Miss Shi."
His tone was light and his smile did not reach his eyes: "Afraid?"
Shi Dai nodded honestly: "A little bit."
As far as the eye can see, this place is full of wandering ghosts.As a normal person of flesh and blood, how could she not be afraid.
Shivered by the cold wind, Shi Dai moved closer to Jiang Baiyan again.
Very good, very safe.
Probably not expecting her to admit it so readily, Jiang Baiyan was silent for a moment.
"But, having said that—"
Before he could speak, Shi Dai asked again: "If a person is killed by a demon and has deep resentment, will he also become a demon?"
Shi Dai thought seriously: "In this way, wouldn't it be possible to go head-to-head with the ghost who killed her?"
Death is not a new beginning. Everyone is a ghost. I am still afraid of you.
Shi Dai thought about the scene of two ghosts having sex.
It was very exciting and vivid, and I wasn’t very scared immediately.
Yan Qinghuan was persuaded by her and her fear subsided: "Miss Shi is right!"
Jiang Baiyan:......
It is difficult to understand the strange questions in Shi Dai's mind.
"Those who are harmed by evil spirits are attracted by the impermanence of black and white, and their souls return to the underworld."
Jiang Baiyan blurted out: "Li Gui is a fish that slips through the net to seduce people's souls. They stay in the human world. I'm afraid they won't be able to see each other despite the yin and yang."
He actually explained it seriously.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Baiyan pursed his thin lips.
On the other side, Shi Dai was already discussing countermeasures with Yan Qinghuan: "Then report it to Black and White Wuchang. There is a ghost that doesn't go to the underworld and should be punished."
The method is always more difficult than it is.
Being interrupted by Shi Dai, the tense atmosphere relaxed a lot.
The night was gloomy, and she was alert to changes in all directions. Shi Dai looked into the distance and paused——
I don’t know since when, the houses on the street slowly twisted and gradually changed their shapes.
Like a soaked scroll, the pavilions, long streets and alleys blur into one, making it difficult to distinguish between east, west and north.
"Beware of the maze."
Jiang Baiyan also noticed something strange and whispered: "It's a ghost breaking the wall."
Ghost hit the wall.
Shi Dai quickly searched for information in her mind.
A common confusion is caused by excessive ghost energy and the intertwining of yin and yang. It is said that it can replace the space and make people unable to find a way out.
To put it simply, as long as someone enters it, they will be randomly transported to different places.
Of course, it is within the scope of ghosts hitting the wall.
"So, we'll spread out."
Shi Dai thought quickly: "Where to meet?"
Jiang Baiyan looked at her quietly.
Shi Dai encountered a ghost hitting the wall for the first time. She was obviously very nervous, her body was tense and her face was slightly pale.
But those eyes were still clear, and they did not panic or panic.
"In "The Hanged Ghost", the deceased was a teacher."
Before his vision changed, Jiang Baiyan said: "Ask where the teacher at Changlefang Middle School lives and meet in front of his house."
*
After the time of a stick of incense, southeast of Changlefang.
I don’t know what happened today, countless demons and ghosts appeared here, and every house closed its doors and windows.
The streets were deserted, and a small figure huddled in the dark alley.
It was a six or seven-year-old girl who was trembling with fear. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands and did not dare to make a sound.
Not long ago, she was playing alone on the street and accidentally saw a few bloody ghost figures. In a moment of panic, she quickly hid in this alley.
The tears had long since dried up, and the girl didn't know what to do. She could only close her eyes tightly and wait for everything to pass.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Not long after, a ghostly chuckle sounded in my ears——
It was discovered!
The girl opened her eyes and faced an extremely pale face.
Li Gui, dressed in red, stood at the entrance of the alley, like a poisonous snake that found its prey, walking towards her step by step.
She wanted to call for help and run away, but there was no strength in her body. She was trembling and turned into a puddle of mud.
The feeling of despair was overwhelming, and the girl's voice was like a mosquito: "No..."
The bone-like fingertips were about to touch her neck, but for some reason Li Gui suddenly paused.
Immediately afterwards, there was a clear voice:
"Nine palaces of fire spirit, destroy ghosts and eliminate evil. Imperial order!"
Bright flames suddenly rose up, and the ghosts screamed, being burned by the fire without leaving a trace.
At the entrance of the alley, stood a beautiful sister wearing a white cloak.Next to her, there was a fluffy white fox.
survived?
The girl was choked and speechless, and her tears flowed more violently.
The light from the ghost-killing talisman in her hand dissipated, and Shi Dai looked at the tearful little girl and let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you hurt?"
Stepping forward to pick up the girl, Shi Dai wiped the tears from her eyes: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay."
Her tone is soft and her throat is clear. Because she grew up in an orphanage, she knows how to make children happy.
Caressing the other person's back, Shi Daiwen comforted: "I'll take you home. Where is your home?"
The girl sobbed, raised her head with tears in her eyes, and found that there were several people standing behind her beautiful sister, all of whom she had met before.
One of the women said: "I know him. This is the child of the Chen family on Nan Street."
Shi Dai turned around and smiled: "Thank you."
After encountering a ghost hitting the wall, she was separated from the other three people and was transported to a strange street alone.
The demons and ghosts were making trouble, and many people had no time to hide.She saved people all the way, and the people behind her were all the people she saved.
She asked the rescued residents in detail about the residence of the middle school teacher in Changlefang, and visited them one by one. So far, she has visited three houses, and nothing happened.
Next, only the house at the end of the long street remained.
As written in "The Hanged Ghost", today's Changlefang is full of hanged ghosts who hanged themselves.
This ghost has a bloodless face and a long tongue.Shi Dai specifically tested them, and even if they approached them proactively, they would not hurt anyone, and some even protected passers-by.
In other words, the puppet master really had no intention of harming innocent people.
However, although the hanging ghost did not harm anyone, the accumulated Yin Qi attracted more evil spirits with malicious intentions.
These uninvited guests are very dangerous.
Holding a piece of bright yellow talisman tightly in her hand, Shi Dai could drive away the evil spirits that were attacking one after another. Thinking of Shi Yunsheng and others, Shi Dai felt uneasy.
The ghosts beat the wall and scattered them all over the place, wondering what happened to the others.
She is not worried about Jiang Baiyan. Yan Qinghuan is a weak scholar. I wonder if he has encountered any trouble. As for her brother...
Thinking of Shi Yunsheng's grinning look, Shi Dai calmed down.
She knew the child's strength, and it was easy for Shi Yunsheng to deal with the lonely ghost.
But as a sister, even if she knew that he was strong enough, she would still feel uneasy and couldn't help but worry about him.
I hope they can gather at the deceased's home as soon as possible.
"Girl, that's right there."
A man said: "Master Chen's home."
It was an old courtyard.The courtyard door was open, rough and mottled, and before we even got close to the courtyard, we could already smell the smell of rust.
It's bloody.
Shi Dai's heart tightened, she quickened her pace, and met several dark shadows beside the courtyard door.
In addition to her, several evil spirits wandering on the street were also attracted by the blood. They smelled the living breath on her body and showed greed in their eyes.
After traveling through time for several days, Shi Dai had become increasingly familiar with how to use the talisman. She picked up the talisman paper with her fingers and turned it toward the courtyard door.
As soon as the talisman came out, the evil spirits with murderous looks on their faces were as if struck by lightning, their faces were ashen and they fled in all directions, not daring to stay for a moment.
Shi Dai turned her head again and saw the scene in the courtyard clearly.
The owner of the house was nowhere to be seen, and there was a river of blood in the yard.
The corpses of more than a dozen monsters were scattered everywhere. Some were disemboweled, some were pierced through the heart by a sword, and some were shocked by the sword energy and had bleeding from all their orifices.
A hellish, cruel and bloody scene.
In the center is Jiang Baiyan holding a long sword.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Baiyan turned his head slightly.
Half of his face was swallowed up by the shadow, and he stood in a pool of blood. When he saw Shi Dai, he smiled softly.

After leaving Jiang Baiyan's courtyard, Shi Dai took Qingqing all the way back to the front yard of Shi Mansion and met the others waiting here.
"It seems that my talisman can control it to travel for two hours at most."
Song Ningyan stroked Qingqing's cheek: "Two hours, is it enough?"
The zombie narrowed his eyes slightly and rubbed Song Ningyan's palm.
"Of course it's enough."
Shi Dai smiled: "In two hours, not only can zombies travel throughout Chang'an City, but they can also visit surrounding towns. The delivery business in Chang'an City alone can make a lot of money."
Although she can't do long-distance express delivery, short-distance takeout is also very good. It's all about making money, and she doesn't choose.
Meng Ke was also very satisfied.
Zombies are fast, efficient, and most importantly, good at fighting. Their strength far exceeds that of most escorts, so you don't have to worry about being robbed along the way.
A perfect delivery to the chosen one!
Ah Li, who was lying on Shi Dai's shoulder:...
From being a well-known evil creature to being a deliveryman in Dazhao, does a zombie have no respect for it?
Zombies won't feel tired. Qingqing has been running wildly for so long and is now full of life.
Happy to be praised, the famous fierce creature jumped twice on the spot, with the corner of its mouth raised slightly, as if it could still fight for three hundred rounds.
Ahri:......
Well, zombies don’t want to lose face.
"As for Miss Achun, I will take her to the powder shop tomorrow to have a look."
Meng Ke smiled like a fox: "After you and Qingqing left, we discussed a brilliant idea. We can let Achun put makeup on the zombies so that they look like normal people and will not scare people when walking on the road. ."
One plus one is greater than two, this is called a combination card.
After the group's discussion was over, Shi Dai went back to her room to rest. It was already ugly time.
Ah Li was so sleepy that his eyelids were twitching. He was lying on her shoulder, half asleep and half awake, when he suddenly heard Shi Dai let out a light sigh.
Only when she opened her eyes did she realize that a pure black envelope had fallen in front of Shi Dai's bedroom window.
The envelope is painted with dark gold and complex patterns, which is the unique mark of Zhenesi.
come to live?
Stepping forward through the falling snow, Shi Dai opened the envelope. As expected, she saw clearly a line of large characters with flying dragons and phoenixes:
"Tomorrow, at the time of You, we will suppress Esi."
strangeness.
In "Records of Common People", the original owner did not receive this letter.
"It's called the butterfly effect."
Ahri said: "In the original owner's life path, she took the initiative to go to Zhen'es today and took on a monster-catching mission. You met the Painted Skin Monster on the way, which is different from her experience."
After speaking, he sighed with regret: "Unfortunately, if you follow the plot, you can predict the future."
Shi Dai had no interest in this.
Instead of following the plot on thin ice and reaping the dividends of "unforeseen events", it is better to live according to your own preferences and follow your heart.
After folding the letter paper, Shi Dai entered the bedroom.
"Speaking of which," Shi Dai turned her head and looked at the snow-white plush, "How can we find clues to the world-destroying disaster you mentioned?"
"There have been no clues recently."
At the mention of this matter, Ah Li was startled: "After a while, changes will gradually occur in Da Zhao. You should work hard in Zhen'Esi and pay more attention to the news."
Shi Dai: "No problem."
To her, Dazhao is like a picture scroll depicting thousands of gods, ghosts and evil spirits, strange but beautiful.
Being able to see more in Zhen'Esi was just what she wanted.
It was getting late, and the moon was hidden among the clouds.
Shi Dai touched the little white fox's plush head and said, "See you tomorrow, good night."
*
When Shi Dai got up and went to the dining room the next day, she happened to meet Jiang Baiyan.
He has a light taste and often eats plain soup noodles and cakes.
Unlike Shi Dai, I like all kinds of delicious food, sour, sweet and spicy.
This man's eating habits were also different from hers. He was eating a bowl of Yangchun noodles slowly with his eyes half lowered, quietly and with his back straight.
Shi Dai did not forget the scene when the blood poison attacked last night and caught a glimpse of his pale profile: "Mr. Jiang, are you feeling better?"
The blood on his face is very light.
Looking at the palm that was scratched by his own hands, there was no bandage, but the bleeding had stopped, and a long dark red mark appeared.
Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes.
Last night he put his sword across Shi Dai's neck, and anyone else would have backed away from him.
Judging from her calm expression, she seemed to really not care.
Following Shi Dai's gaze and glancing at the hideous blood marks on his palm, Jiang Baiyan said softly: "It's okay, thank you Miss Shi."
"It's better if you put a bandage on it."
Shi Dai kindly reminded: "Otherwise the wound may be more serious."
Even if you apply medicine, you can still get infected.
Shi Dai inexplicably wondered whether Jiang Baiyan didn't even take the medicine.
"Miss."
The maid picked branches and waited aside: "Come and enjoy your meal. Today the cook made your favorite single-cage golden pastry."
Speaking of food, Shi Dai came to her senses for a moment: "Is there any soft date cake? I can smell the fragrance."
"Yes."
Caizhi smiled and said: "I originally made fish soup, but unexpectedly a cat suddenly ran in and took the fish in its mouth."
Shi Dai found it interesting and laughed: "Did that cat fly over the eaves and walk over the wall? It's a very light skill to be able to get into the courtyard wall of the mansion."
"I ended up getting caught anyway."
Meng Ke's voice sounded from behind: "Look, the cat got both the stolen goods and the stolen goods."
Shi Dai turned around and saw Meng Ke holding a black cat in his arms, standing with Shen Liushuang in front of the dining room door.
Meng Ke couldn't stop talking: "Earlier, Liu Shuang and I came to the dining hall and just saw it jumping out."
"Liu Shuang captured him in one fell swoop."
Meng Ke lowered his head and gently pinched the side of the black cat's face: "It runs very fast."
The black cat opened his round eyes wide and looked at her pitifully.
Shi Dai rolled his eyes, closed his two front paws, and bowed to Meng Ke: "Sir, the grass cat has realized his mistake. Please spare me."
Her laughter was clear and clear, with a hint of coquettishness toward Meng Ke, and fell on her ears like a clear spring stirring rocks.
Jiang Baiyan raised his long eyelashes and glanced at Shi Dai's fair face.
Children from aristocratic families in Chang'an are often gentle and decent, with a noble air in their actions.
In comparison, Shi Dai’s character can’t really be called a follower of the rules——
He loves to eat and play. As long as he feels happy, he will smile without concealment. His vitality is too great for people to ignore.
It is difficult for Jiang Baiyan to understand such a person.
Just as he didn't understand why an ordinary black cat could make her smile and look happy.
He never thought there was anything special about these animals. For him, the various pastries were only useful for wrapping his belly.
Suddenly, Shi Dai, who was playing with the cat, turned her head.
Their eyes met, she raised her lips, held the cat's paw and waved it: "Master Jiang, do you want to come and take a look?"
The fingertips lightly rubbed the knife mark on his palm, and the pain gave him a brief moment of joy.
After looking at Shi Dai for a moment, Jiang Baiyan looked away: "Thank you, no need."
*
Youshi is evening.
Shi Dai went to Zhenesi this time. Besides Ah Li, there was also a small shadow following her.
——Shi Yunsheng walked beside her with a sullen face, occasionally puffing out his cheeks and kicking away pebbles on the road.
After the child was retrieved from the wolves and returned to the Shi Mansion, he studied in the school for a period of time.However, Shi Yunsheng had no interest in studying, but was keen on learning swordsmanship from Shi Jingcheng.
Today, when I heard that Shi Dai was going to Zhenesi, the child's eyes showed envy, but he quickly suppressed her.
Shi Dai was keenly aware of it and asked him openly if he wanted to visit Zhen'es.
"I-I don't really want to go."
While following her obediently, Shi Yunsheng stuttered and muttered in a low voice: "It's just... difficult."
Shi Dai smiled and stretched out her hand to touch his head: "Okay, okay, reluctantly."
what is this?
The duplicitous and arrogant little wolf touched it first, and it turned out to be soft.
Being suddenly attacked by Shi Dai, Shi Yunsheng's back stiffened slightly, a low whine came out of his throat, and he glared at her with his dark eyes.
Unfortunately, the aura was soft and non-threatening.
Within the Jokhang territory, every state has a Zhen'e division, which is responsible for the affairs of ghosts, gods and evil spirits, and gathers people from all three religions and nine streams.
This place in Chang'an City is where the headquarters is located.
The red door is wide open, and the golden nanmu plaque is thick and solemn.It can't be called luxurious, but it contains a rich aura. The most eye-catching thing is the various people walking through it.
Tibetan monks, Miao Gu masters, Taoist monks, and Nanhai maidens all gathered here. No matter how many times she came, Shi Dai found it novel and interesting from the bottom of her heart.
Turning her eyes, Shi Dai inadvertently touched a familiar shadow.
Jiang Baiyan was actually in Zhenesi, and standing in front of him was a strange young man with a happy face.
Today he was wearing a bamboo-patterned robe with wide sleeves. Even though he had a sword on his waist, he didn't look too murderous. He looked like a young man from an aristocratic family who came to enjoy the winter snow.
Before Shi Dai could say anything, she saw a cold light flash beside her——
Shi Yunsheng drew his sword and rushed towards Jiang Baiyan.
Jiang Baiyan did not raise his head, his long sword was unsheathed, and he met Shi Yunsheng's long sword without leaning to either side.
The swords collided, making a clear sound in the cold wind.
The majestic sword energy was unstoppable. Shi Yunsheng grunted and was shaken away quickly.
……hateful!
The child sheathed the knife angrily, not forgetting to glare at Jiang Baiyan with an unconvinced look on his face.
Jiang Baiyan's expression remained unchanged: "Miss Shi, Young Master Shi."
Shi Dai sighed secretly, feeling a little headache.
For some unknown reason, Shi Yunsheng regarded Jiang Baiyan as his number one rival and wanted to fight him every day.
Of course, never won once.
"Why are Mr. Jiang here?"
Shi Dai tilted her head: "And this..."
Just now, Shi Yunsheng and Jiang Baiyan made a move, and the one who was most frightened was the strange young man in brocade clothes.
This man is young, about the same age as Shi Dai, has handsome features, and is dressed in such a way that he looks extremely wealthy.
Her black hair is tied up with a valuable jade crown, she is wearing a white fox cloak, a brocade sachet is tied around her waist, and she wears an emerald-colored jade ring on her right hand, which is crystal clear.
This young man, who looked very expensive at first sight, was so frightened that his face turned extremely pale, and he stepped back and almost fell down.
"Here, I'm Yan Qinghuan."
After barely calming down, the young man took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's the first time I've come to Zhen'es today... I'm laughing."
"He's the bell doctor."
Seeing Shi Yunsheng's confused expression, Jiang Baiyan explained: "The bell-ringing doctor practices medicine and is a charlatan who walks around the streets. He only needs to ring the bell in his hand, and people can hear the bell and seek medical advice."
Shi Dai had heard of this kind of doctor.
In my impression, the bell-ringing doctor lives all over the world and has nothing to offer, but this one in front of me...
Shi Dai looked at the priceless jade ring in Yan Qinghuan's hand.
"My father gave this to me."
Feeling her gaze, Yan Qinghuan said in surprise: "I have studied medicine since I was a child. I decided to become a bell doctor half a month ago, and then I left home and came to Chang'an."
Shi Dai was stunned: "Master Yan is not from Chang'an?"
"I'm from Yuezhou, Jiangnan."
Not knowing what he thought of, Yan Qinghuan clenched his fists excitedly: "In the storybook, most of the chivalrous and righteous things happened in Chang'an. I came here because of its reputation."
Storybook.
After capturing the key information, Shi Dai nodded clearly.
Understood.This is a rich young man who reads a lot of martial arts novels and dreams of slaying demons.
This is indeed the case.
Yan Qinghuan's heart was racing, and he nervously clenched his sleeves and looked at the three people in front of him.
He couldn't sleep last night. He finished watching "The Battle of Chang'an" for the fifth time on No. 20. He was full of expectations for Zhen Esi and looked forward to the morning.
Looking at it now, it is indeed extraordinary.
Is this the legendary General Secretary of Chang'an City?
It's so thrilling, so immersive, and even the way of greeting people is so unique, greeting each other with swords.
He won't die one day after being greeted warmly, right?
"My name is Shi Dai, and this is my younger brother, Shi Yunsheng."
Shi Dai smiled: "Young Master Yan and Young Master Jiang know each other?"
"See you for the first time."
Yan Qinghuan couldn't hide his excitement: "I got the order yesterday. From today on, I will investigate the case with your team."
a team?
Shi Dai looked at Jiang Baiyan.
There are twelve guards in Zhen'es Division, and each guard is divided into three squads.
Shi Dai joined Zhenesi not long ago and is currently an idler with no fixed team.
That is to say...
"The Zhen'e Division has issued an order, and the three of us will form a team for the time being."
Jiang Baiyan said in an ordinary tone: "Let us investigate the matter of the puppet master in Chang'an City."
Shi Dai: "Puppet master? The one we met last night?"
Shi Dai is very self-aware.
She and Yan Qinghuan are both newcomers. Although Jiang Baiyan has just entered the town of Esi, he has already made a name for himself and solved several major cases.
Let Jiang Baiyan lead the two of them, which is the old way of leading the new.
Thinking about it from another perspective, this task was given to them, which shows that it is not difficult.
"Exactly."
Jiang Baiyan took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms: "This case is very interesting. There was a chaos in Yongqingfang yesterday, and those who were manipulated by puppetry were all painted-skin demons."
Shi Dai poked her head curiously: "What is this piece of paper?"
"At the same time that the Painted Skin Demon appeared, someone wrote a story about a strange monster on paper and pasted it on the wall of Chang'an."
Jiang Baiyan handed the page to her: "In the story, a wealthy businessman did many evil things. He abandoned his wife and children, robbed people of their property, and forcibly married a young orphan girl as his concubine. On the night of the wedding, he saw the orphan girl peeling off her human skin. Bare withered bones. This story is called "Painted Skin." "Painted Skin corresponds exactly to the Painted Skin Demon.
Shi Dai's heart moved slightly and she nodded.
"What's even more interesting is that in "Painted Skin" it is said that the protagonist lives in Yongqingfang——"
Jiang Baiyan raised the corner of his mouth: "Yesterday, the only person who died in Yongqingfang was a businessman named Mu Tao. But unlike "Painted Skin", this man did not abandon his wife and children, and robbed civilian girls. Instead, he was a well-respected businessman. Good people."
In any case, the identity and place of death match. This is no coincidence.
After Yan Qinghuan heard this, he got goosebumps all over his body.
He, he, none of the horror stories he had read were so exciting.
Shi Dai suddenly realized: foretelling murder.
In the detective novels she read before, it was written that some murderers would use code words or stories to announce the target and location of the murder in advance.
In this way, it can cause panic and gain attention to a great extent.
"I met a painted-skin demon last night. According to her, the instructions given by the puppet master were just to scare people."
Recalling what Achun said, Shi Dai thought thoughtfully: "So... the puppet master has no intention of attacking civilians. The only person he really wants to kill is Mu Tao."
Since he only wanted to kill one person, why did the puppet master control so many painted-skinned monsters and cause trouble in the city and everyone knew about it?
Why kill a chicken with a bull's knife?
Shi Dai didn't have time to think more.
An exclamation interrupted his thoughts, piercing the dusk like a sharp arrow.
"No, it's not good!"
The person who came was a middle-aged man in a coarse cloth jacket. He hurried to Zhenesi Gate with a panicked look on his face: "Sir, someone has pasted that kind of paper in the Furong Garden... that kind of paper with stories written on it! "
They are the people who came to report the crime.
Shi Dai's heart skipped a beat: "Is there anyone dead in the story, and where did they die?"
The man stammered: "Chang, Changlefang!"
*
In the evening, the lanterns of Chang'an City were turned on, and the sunset was magnificent.
On the way to Changlefang, Yan Qinghuan was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
It's a murder case.
On the first day he entered Zhen'es, he encountered a murder case. It seemed that it was a series of major cases.
The middle-aged man in charge of the newspaper did not dare to tear off the pages in the Furong Garden, and gave them an outline based on his memory.
This time, the strange story is called "The Hanged Ghost".
As the name suggests, it is a ghost who hanged himself to death.
The protagonist of the story is a sanctimonious teacher. Because of his excessive greed, he took away his neighbor's life-saving money for medical treatment, causing the neighbor's whole family to hang themselves.
Needless to say about the ending, evil people will be punished, and the teacher was haunted by an innocent ghost and died tragically at home.
If the situation is the same as last night, a teacher will die in Changlefang tonight.
Seeing Yan Qinghuan's restraint, Shi Dai comforted her warmly: "Don't be afraid. Mr. Jiang is very skilled in swordsmanship. As long as he is here, nothing will happen."
Jiang Gongzi?
Hearing what she said, Shi Yunsheng beside him snorted lightly, and the next moment, someone touched his head.
Shi Dai held back a smile and said to Yan Qinghuan: "My brother's sword is also very powerful. I'll show you later."
This is the truth.
She remembered that Shi Yunsheng was extremely talented in swordsmanship. At a young age, he had already read several complicated sword manuals.
She praised her so bluntly that the child pursed his lips and looked away, feeling a slight heat behind his ears.
Flowers…Fancy words.
Before entering Changlefang, you can notice an oppressive and lifeless atmosphere.Dark fog gradually rose in the long street, and ghosts lingered.
Because he was a doctor, Yan Qinghuan knew nothing about martial arts. He leaned next to his teammates and caught a glimpse of Shi Yunsheng with a cold face from the corner of his eye.
The child followed him all the way, his face expressionless from beginning to end, and he only showed irritation when listening to Shi Dai's praise of Jiang Baiyan.
Judging from his expression, he is actually calmer than an adult like him.
No, it can't be.
He came to Chang'an to slay demons. As a knight, how can he be more timid than a child.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, Yan Qinghuan took a deep breath and walked into Changle Square with the other three people.
The long street was filled with gloom and gloom, not only Yan Qinghuan but also Shi Dai could not help but feel uneasy.
It was her first time handling a case, and it was much more exciting to experience the ghosts surrounding her than to watch a horror movie.
Subconsciously, Shi Dai looked at Jiang Baiyan.
Until now, he seemed to be strolling around, indifferent to everything around him.
This kind of leisurely laziness stems from Jiang Baiyan's extremely strong strength.
Because of this, being with him is very reassuring.
Shi Dai thought quietly that if she wanted to use a metaphor, Jiang Baiyan was like a high-level boss with full skill points in the game, taking a few of them out of the novice village.
He is indeed a good teammate of Dazhao.
Her gaze was uncovered and was quickly captured by Jiang Baiyan.
"Miss Shi."
His tone was light and his smile did not reach his eyes: "Afraid?"
Shi Dai nodded honestly: "A little bit."
As far as the eye can see, this place is full of wandering ghosts.As a normal person of flesh and blood, how could she not be afraid.
Shivered by the cold wind, Shi Dai moved closer to Jiang Baiyan again.
Very good, very safe.
Probably not expecting her to admit it so readily, Jiang Baiyan was silent for a moment.
"But, having said that—"
Before he could speak, Shi Dai asked again: "If a person is killed by a demon and has deep resentment, will he also become a demon?"
Shi Dai thought seriously: "In this way, wouldn't it be possible to go head-to-head with the ghost who killed her?"
Death is not a new beginning. Everyone is a ghost. I am still afraid of you.
Shi Dai thought about the scene of two ghosts having sex.
It was very exciting and vivid, and I wasn’t very scared immediately.
Yan Qinghuan was persuaded by her and her fear subsided: "Miss Shi is right!"
Jiang Baiyan:......
It is difficult to understand the strange questions in Shi Dai's mind.
"Those who are harmed by evil spirits are attracted by the impermanence of black and white, and their souls return to the underworld."
Jiang Baiyan blurted out: "Li Gui is a fish that slips through the net to seduce people's souls. They stay in the human world. I'm afraid they won't be able to see each other despite the yin and yang."
He actually explained it seriously.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Baiyan pursed his thin lips.
On the other side, Shi Dai was already discussing countermeasures with Yan Qinghuan: "Then report it to Black and White Wuchang. There is a ghost that doesn't go to the underworld and should be punished."
The method is always more difficult than it is.
Being interrupted by Shi Dai, the tense atmosphere relaxed a lot.
The night was gloomy, and she was alert to changes in all directions. Shi Dai looked into the distance and paused——
I don’t know since when, the houses on the street slowly twisted and gradually changed their shapes.
Like a soaked scroll, the pavilions, long streets and alleys blur into one, making it difficult to distinguish between east, west and north.
"Beware of the maze."
Jiang Baiyan also noticed something strange and whispered: "It's a ghost breaking the wall."
Ghost hit the wall.
Shi Dai quickly searched for information in her mind.
A common confusion is caused by excessive ghost energy and the intertwining of yin and yang. It is said that it can replace the space and make people unable to find a way out.
To put it simply, as long as someone enters it, they will be randomly transported to different places.
Of course, it is within the scope of ghosts hitting the wall.
"So, we'll spread out."
Shi Dai thought quickly: "Where to meet?"
Jiang Baiyan looked at her quietly.
Shi Dai encountered a ghost hitting the wall for the first time. She was obviously very nervous, her body was tense and her face was slightly pale.
But those eyes were still clear, and they did not panic or panic.
"In "The Hanged Ghost", the deceased was a teacher."
Before his vision changed, Jiang Baiyan said: "Ask where the teacher at Changlefang Middle School lives and meet in front of his house."
*
After the time of a stick of incense, southeast of Changlefang.
I don’t know what happened today, countless demons and ghosts appeared here, and every house closed its doors and windows.
The streets were deserted, and a small figure huddled in the dark alley.
It was a six or seven-year-old girl who was trembling with fear. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands and did not dare to make a sound.
Not long ago, she was playing alone on the street and accidentally saw a few bloody ghost figures. In a moment of panic, she quickly hid in this alley.
The tears had long since dried up, and the girl didn't know what to do. She could only close her eyes tightly and wait for everything to pass.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Not long after, a ghostly chuckle sounded in my ears——
It was discovered!
The girl opened her eyes and faced an extremely pale face.
Li Gui, dressed in red, stood at the entrance of the alley, like a poisonous snake that found its prey, walking towards her step by step.
She wanted to call for help and run away, but there was no strength in her body. She was trembling and turned into a puddle of mud.
The feeling of despair was overwhelming, and the girl's voice was like a mosquito: "No..."
The bone-like fingertips were about to touch her neck, but for some reason Li Gui suddenly paused.
Immediately afterwards, there was a clear voice:
"Nine palaces of fire spirit, destroy ghosts and eliminate evil. Imperial order!"
Bright flames suddenly rose up, and the ghosts screamed, being burned by the fire without leaving a trace.
At the entrance of the alley, stood a beautiful sister wearing a white cloak.Next to her, there was a fluffy white fox.
survived?
The girl was choked and speechless, and her tears flowed more violently.
The light from the ghost-killing talisman in her hand dissipated, and Shi Dai looked at the tearful little girl and let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you hurt?"
Stepping forward to pick up the girl, Shi Dai wiped the tears from her eyes: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay."
Her tone is soft and her throat is clear. Because she grew up in an orphanage, she knows how to make children happy.
Caressing the other person's back, Shi Daiwen comforted: "I'll take you home. Where is your home?"
The girl sobbed, raised her head with tears in her eyes, and found that there were several people standing behind her beautiful sister, all of whom she had met before.
One of the women said: "I know him. This is the child of the Chen family on Nan Street."
Shi Dai turned around and smiled: "Thank you."
After encountering a ghost hitting the wall, she was separated from the other three people and was transported to a strange street alone.
The demons and ghosts were making trouble, and many people had no time to hide.She saved people all the way, and the people behind her were all the people she saved.
She asked the rescued residents in detail about the residence of the middle school teacher in Changlefang, and visited them one by one. So far, she has visited three houses, and nothing happened.
Next, only the house at the end of the long street remained.
As written in "The Hanged Ghost", today's Changlefang is full of hanged ghosts who hanged themselves.
This ghost has a bloodless face and a long tongue.Shi Dai specifically tested them, and even if they approached them proactively, they would not hurt anyone, and some even protected passers-by.
In other words, the puppet master really had no intention of harming innocent people.
However, although the hanging ghost did not harm anyone, the accumulated Yin Qi attracted more evil spirits with malicious intentions.
These uninvited guests are very dangerous.
Holding a piece of bright yellow talisman tightly in her hand, Shi Dai could drive away the evil spirits that were attacking one after another. Thinking of Shi Yunsheng and others, Shi Dai felt uneasy.
The ghosts beat the wall and scattered them all over the place, wondering what happened to the others.
She is not worried about Jiang Baiyan. Yan Qinghuan is a weak scholar. I wonder if he has encountered any trouble. As for her brother...
Thinking of Shi Yunsheng's grinning look, Shi Dai calmed down.
She knew the child's strength, and it was easy for Shi Yunsheng to deal with the lonely ghost.
But as a sister, even if she knew that he was strong enough, she would still feel uneasy and couldn't help but worry about him.
I hope they can gather at the deceased's home as soon as possible.
"Girl, that's right there."
A man said: "Master Chen's home."
It was an old courtyard.The courtyard door was open, rough and mottled, and before we even got close to the courtyard, we could already smell the smell of rust.
It's bloody.
Shi Dai's heart tightened, she quickened her pace, and met several dark shadows beside the courtyard door.
In addition to her, several evil spirits wandering on the street were also attracted by the blood. They smelled the living breath on her body and showed greed in their eyes.
After traveling through time for several days, Shi Dai had become increasingly familiar with how to use the talisman. She picked up the talisman paper with her fingers and turned it toward the courtyard door.
As soon as the talisman came out, the evil spirits with murderous looks on their faces were as if struck by lightning, their faces were ashen and they fled in all directions, not daring to stay for a moment.
Shi Dai turned her head again and saw the scene in the courtyard clearly.
The owner of the house was nowhere to be seen, and there was a river of blood in the yard.
The corpses of more than a dozen monsters were scattered everywhere. Some were disemboweled, some were pierced through the heart by a sword, and some were shocked by the sword energy and had bleeding from all their orifices.
A hellish, cruel and bloody scene.
In the center is Jiang Baiyan holding a long sword.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Baiyan turned his head slightly.
Half of his face was swallowed up by the shadow, and he stood in a pool of blood. When he saw Shi Dai, he smiled softly.
