Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 11 Gnats (2)
Zhang Long ran all the way, sweating profusely and panting, saw Duanmucui drawing water in the courtyard from a distance, and shouted: "Sister Duanmu, it's not good, something happened."

Duanmucui greeted the door, Zhang Long held onto the fence door with one hand, out of breath: "Sister Duanmu, Zhao Xiaoda is gone."

"Missing?" Duanmucui frowned, "Such a big living person with legs growing on his own body, why not find him for a while?"

"No." Zhang Long couldn't tell for a while, stomping his feet anxiously, "Something really happened, and the guard Zhan couldn't leave, let me hurry to find you."

Sure enough, something went wrong.

Seeing Chen Liu's body, Duanmucui gasped.

"The blood in his whole body was almost sucked dry." Zhan Zhao frowned, "I've never seen such a way of death."

"I checked the scene just now and found footprints on the beam." Zhan Zhao looked up at the beam, "Duanmu, this footprint is very strange. When a person stands on the beam, the footprints will only stay on the front of the beam, but this footprint is printed on the beam. The underside of the girder... Duanmu?"

Seeing that Duanmucui's face was pale, Zhan Zhao hurriedly helped Duanmucui to sit down: "This room is a bit stuffy, do you want to go outside for a while?"

Duanmucui shook her head, suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Zhan Zhao's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Zhan Zhao, I made a mistake."

Zhan Zhao saw that Duanmucui's lips were almost bloodless, and the hand holding the hem of his clothes trembled slightly, he couldn't bear it, and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I made a mistake." Duanmucui's eyes were red, "I should have seen that the gnat lived in Zhao Xiaoda's body for more than fifteen or sixteen years, but I believed Zhao Xiaoda's words and blindly entrusted him, costing a life in the world .”

"How can I blame you." Zhan Zhao comforted her, "Then Zhao Xiaoda said so, and we all believed it, and you didn't realize it for a while."

"How do you understand?" Duanmucui seemed to be a little emotionally uncontrollable, her chest heaving violently, "The master of the fine flower stream collects ghosts from the world, but I am the master of the fine flower stream, but I neglect the monsters lightly. Don't think about punishment. , just to create this kind of murder..."

"Duanmu!" Zhan Zhao was annoyed, "Chen Liuheng died, we are all very sad, but one thing is another thing, Chen Liu was not killed by you, how can we say that you were responsible for the murder."

"I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. If it wasn't for my negligence, how could Chen Liu lose his life." Duanmucui suddenly thought of something, and murmured, "No, I want to kill him here." Stop it before it kills again."

"What are you thinking of?" Zhan Zhao noticed that Duanmucui's expression was different.

Duanmucui just shook her head, got up suddenly, before Zhan Zhao could react, she had already flew away.When Zhan Zhao chased him out, he had already lost sight of Duanmucui.

Just as he didn't care about it, he saw Gongsun Ce rushing over and asked, "Guard Zhan, Miss Duanmu's expression is not right, so where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Which way did she go?"

"Going north to Xuanwu Street, she..." Before she finished speaking, she felt a red shadow flashing in front of her eyes, and when she realized it, there was no shadow of Zhan Zhao?
"One is like this, and two are still like this." Gongsun Ce shook his head and sighed.

Zhan Zhao felt bad.

Ever since she knew Duanmucui, every time she collected ghosts and monsters, Duanmucui has never been like this. When facing the enemy, he still doesn't know where the enemy is, and he has already lost his position.

Although Duanmucui has great supernatural powers, if he faces the enemy with such a loss, he is afraid that he will capsize in the gutter.

Duanmucui kept heading north, exiting Xuanwu Street and entering the northern suburbs, the population gradually became less and less, and there was only one thought in his mind, to stop the gnat before it could do more evil.

The little gnats are panting in the world, and it is not easy to survive. In order to satisfy their hunger, they are often on the verge of death.So there was a particularly clever and clever one, who chose a single host, and only sucked the blood of the host wholeheartedly.

If it’s just a small need, it’s fine to stop it every drop, at worst, it’s not enough until you die.It's a pity that this gnat was nourished by the flesh and blood of living people. After a long time, it gradually turned into a ghost to play mischief, and turned back to the host, becoming a disaster.

Fifteen is a gnat, twenty begins to become a sperm, twenty-five wears a skin, and it is a disaster for half a year.

According to the prophecy, the gnats will become sperm after staying in the human body for more than 20 years; after 25 years, the gnats will become hostile, "piercing the skin of the host", and there will be a ghost inside; "banjiazi" will become a disaster after 30 years people.

Thinking about it now, the gnat may have lived in Zhao Xiaoda's body for more than 30 years.

Zhao Xiaoda was sucked by the gnat until he was left with nothing but skin. The so-called "fifteen or sixteen years" was just the gnat's self-protection words, and it was enough to deceive Zhao Hu and the others. How could the master of flow be so negligent?

When the gnats were just gnats, a little human blood could satisfy their hunger. Now that they have grown into such monsters, they can suck up a person's blood in a short time. If they are not stopped early, more people will suffer.And all these murders stemmed from her negligence.

There seemed to be some movement on the side, Duanmucui suddenly stopped and looked up at the trees beside the road.

An adult macaque, whose blood had been sucked dry, was lying softly on a tree branch, its tail drooped, and it swayed gently with the wind.

This is a very secluded and deep forest, and it gets darker as you go in.The wind passing through the forest seems to be colder than outside, with the smell of rotten and wet leaves.

Duanmucui walked towards the depths of the dense forest, taking every step carefully.

Ordinary gnats have a lifespan of less than three months, and now they have to deal with gnats that have survived for more than 30 years.Duanmucui secretly kept a trace of luck, hoping that this gnat spirit is just an illusion of an ordinary house gnat.

Not far away, there is a stagnant pond full of rotting leaves.

Mosquitoes breed in water, it should be here.

Duanmucui gathered herself together, bent three fingers of her right hand, and pinched a Samadhi True Fire Jue.

There was a sound of teng, and a large black cloud rose from the surface of the water.The black cloud stopped in mid-air for a moment, then rushed towards Duanmucui.

Duanmucui quickly retreated a few steps, and flicked her right hand towards the air.I saw a tongue of fire meandering in mid-air, at first it was just a tongue of fire, but in an instant it expanded into a huge fire barrier, separating the swarm of gnats from Duanmucui.When I looked closely, I saw thousands of gnats on the side of the fire barrier, the size of half a finger, the tentacles and three pairs of legs were about a finger long, and there were faint white spots on the slender legs .Knowing that this is the most ferocious type of gnat, Duanmucui couldn't help but feel a sinking heart.

Are they laying eggs so quickly?

Duanmucui's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Go."

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the flat fire barrier overlapped in half like a ruler cloth, wrapping the large group of gnats in it.The buzzing sound suddenly rose, and then became silent in an instant, only the smell of burnt smell came from the end of the nose.The fire barrier shrinks back to a ray of flame until it disappears without a trace.

Duanmucui breathed a sigh of relief, then went to the pond, walked to the edge of the pond, leaned over to have a closer look.

Ordinary gnats lay thousands of eggs at a time, and the only ones that are wiped out are the first-grown larvae.On the surface of the water, there should be larvae that have just hatched.

Sure enough, even though the pool water was dirty, Duanmucui could still see countless larvae wriggling on the surface of the water.

Duanmucui smiled slightly, and was about to pinch the Samadhi True Fire Art again, when he suddenly thought of something, his body froze, and a chill spread from his back.

She always thought that the human face in the water was her own reflection, so she didn't pay much attention to it, only now did she realize that the face was swollen and pale, with a strange smile.

That was clearly Zhao Xiaoda's face!
Duanmu Cui cried out secretly, it was too late to get up.Six gigantic legs protruded out of the water, two caught Duanmucui's neck, two wrapped around Duanmucui's waist, and the remaining two hooked around Duanmucui's ankles, instantly bringing her into the stagnant water.

As soon as she entered the water, the sound was silent, Duanmucui only felt countless thorns piercing her whole body, at first she felt slight pain, and then she felt numb.Knowing that the gnat spirit would use her own blood to feed the larvae, Duanmucui was anxious, and without knowing where the strength came from, she stretched out her hand to choke the gnat spirit's throat, jumped up and parted the water.He made a sharp turn in mid-air, and was about to break free from the entanglement of his legs, but he didn't know that the spirit followed him like a shadow, his steps tightened suddenly, Duanmucui was so entangled that he couldn't breathe, lost all strength, and fell into the water with the spirit side.

The spirit turned Duanmucui to the ground, making a whoo-ho sound from its throat.When Duanmucui looked up, it was clearly Zhao Xiaoda's face, but the head was distorted into a hemispherical shape, the compound eyes turned upside down, and the upper and lower jaws rubbed lightly.The huge beak thorn fell towards her throat.

Duanmucui used all her strength to avoid the blow from the thorn, but the thorn missed its aim and pierced into Duanmcui's right shoulder.Duanmucui only felt the excruciating pain, the blood in her body was churning, and then the blood all over her body rushed to her right shoulder, when she was about to pinch the formula, how could she have any strength?His eyes gradually blurred, and he could only hear the strange swallowing sound in his ears.

Suddenly, Zhan Zhao shouted angrily: "Duanmucui!"

The spirit froze, and before it could raise its head, four sleeve arrows came through the air, two arrows in the upper and lower directions, and they were extremely fierce, breaking the spirit's beak thorn into three pieces.

The spirit screamed in pain and fell backwards.At the same time, Zhan Zhao had already approached, stretched out his arms to support Duanmucui, and asked anxiously, "How are you?"

His eyes touched Duanmucui's right shoulder, blood was gushing like a spring, his heart trembled, and he stretched out his hand to press her wound, how could he hold it?I can only feel the warm blood continuously overflowing from between the fingers.Duanmucui was extremely weak, and said intermittently: "What a monster, the poison in its body prevents my blood from coagulating..."

Without hesitation, Zhan Zhao pulled off the hem of his official robe and went to bandage Duanmucui's wound. He suddenly heard a noise behind him, and when he looked back anxiously, the spirit staggered to its feet. It was almost as tall as a person. , the upper and lower sawtooth grinding sounds in the jaw.

Zhan Zhao's heart trembled, and he blocked Duanmucui behind him.Duanmucui tried her best to say: "Go quickly, you are a mortal, you can't beat it."

Zhan Zhao whispered, "Unless Zhan Zhao is dead, he must not let him touch you."

Duanmucui's eyes became hot, and before he could answer, Zhan Zhaoye jumped into the air, and the giant que's cold light was like water, and he slashed at the monster's chest and abdomen.But he felt that the blade was as hard as iron, and he was horrified.This monster's beak is easy to break, it's probably like a door, but its whole body is covered with iron armor, I really don't know how to hurt it.

He hurriedly turned his head to look at Duanmucui, and suddenly moved away, making up his mind to lure this spirit away.This way, even though he is in a dangerous place, Duanmucui may be able to escape, it is better than the two of them suffering.

Duanmucui struggled to help the tree to stand up, seeing Zhan Zhao rushing away, knowing his intentions, she shook her head secretly, because she thought, you might be able to save me from this predicament, but if you are no match for it, let the ghost go It had a chance to breathe, let it give birth to evildoers, and I don't know how many lives were lost.

Thinking of this, Duanmucui tried to calm down a bit, squeezed the Samadhi True Fire Art in his hand, looked for the right moment, and shouted: "Zhan Zhao, get out of the way!"

Zhan Zhao was in a hurry to fight with the monster, when he suddenly heard Duanmucui shouting, he didn't have time to think about it, he retreated a few feet.Before he could stand still, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, scorching a few strands of hair on his temples.When I looked up, the spirit seemed to be wrapped in a fire cloth, screaming again and again, and after a while, black smoke rose into the air, and the scorched smell filled the forest.

Duanmu Cui's lips curled into a smile, and he leaned against the tree and collapsed.Zhan Zhao hurried over, supported Duanmucui to sit down slowly, and wrapped up Duanmucui's wound.

Duanmucui smiled and said: "You don't have to be busy, it's useless."

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, he just helped Duanmucui to bind the wound tightly, when he turned to look at her again, he was suddenly struck by lightning, speechless for a while.

Ordinary people lose blood, but their face is pale. On the other hand, Duanmucui's face was pale at first, and then gradually turned transparent.Seeing that Zhan Zhao was stunned, Duanmucui calmed down and said, "I am negligent, and God will punish me. I have lost the blood of mortals, so I will no longer be able to stay in this world."

According to the legend, the immortal is not allowed to stay in the world for a long time. If he wants to stay, he will be transferred to the human womb. Once the blood is exhausted, he must return to the cave.

Zhan Zhao asked: "Is it possible to stay with the blood of mortals?"

He pulled the giant gate out an inch, and drew a deep stroke with his arm, brought the wound to Duanmucui's lips, and said softly: "It was agreed to take away the spirits from the world, but the spirits have not been taken away yet, how can we leave?"

Zhan Zhao went back to the thatched cottage with Duanmucui on his back.

At the beginning, Duanmucui was very light, Zhan Zhao didn't even dare to turn his head, fearing that if he turned his head, the person on his back would have disappeared.

Later, Duanmucui's aura became stronger, Zhan Zhao's heart settled down, and he said softly, "Do you feel better?"

Duanmu Cui hummed lightly, as if something was on her mind.

After waiting for a long time, Ai Ai finally opened his mouth and said: "Zhan Zhao, it's just a gnat monster, it can be subdued in two or three strokes, but I was so embarrassed by it, I lost my face when it spread, can you... don't say it!" go out?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned at first, then dumbfounded.He originally thought that Duanmucui's reticence was due to physical discomfort, but he didn't know it was because of such a trivial matter, so he laughed and said: "Duanmucui, you are so good-looking."

Then he said sternly: "I will consider not to speak out."

"Just thinking about it?" Duanmucui said impatiently.

"That's right." Zhan Zhao suppressed a smile, "Since you have something to ask for from me, of course you can't just beg verbally. It just so happened that the lord mentioned the day before yesterday that the Kaifeng mansion needs to be cleaned and the mansion is not enough. If you... "

"You want me to clean up the Kaifeng mansion?" Duanmucui was furious, and twisted Zhan Zhao's arm hard, "You're dreaming..."

Hearing Zhan Zhao's cry of pain, he remembered that the place he twisted was exactly where Zhan Zhao was cut just now, so he quickly withdrew his hands in fright: "You, do you feel pain?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head back, with a smile on his face: "Such a fierce mouth, but also such a hard attack, it seems that it's really all right."

Duanmucui's heart warmed up.

Back at Duanmu Thatched Cottage, it was already evening, before reaching the door, Duanmucui asked Zhan Zhao to put him down.

"As the master of Xihualiu, I can't come back in such a state of embarrassment."

The reason was good, but her legs became weak as soon as she stood on the ground, if it wasn't for Zhan Zhao's sharp eyesight and quick hands to hold her up, she might fall down again.

"Then let you help me in." Duanmucui sighed.

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was obviously helping her, but Duanmucui's tone seemed to be begging to help her.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard noises in the house.The two were stunned, and saw the blue and white porcelain bowl, yes, it was the blue and white porcelain bowl with the gap in the mouth, holding its head in its hands, its two thin legs were turning faster than the wheels of a car, and it fled out of the house quickly, not forgetting to yell loudly : "Just looking at the stars, just looking at the stars..."

"Sitting by the river all night, it's as simple as looking at the stars?" Another fine-grained flower bowl chased out from the door, waving a stick in its hand, "Xiao Die told me everything, she said that you still don't know what to do?" Poems and poems talk about the philosophy of life..."

"Looking at the stars?" Zhan Zhao and Duanmucui looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help looking up at the sky.

The starry sky tonight is indeed exceptionally clear.
