Six Gods

Chapter 58

The golden morning sun is falling, and the rustling of leaves makes the air faintly filled with the fragrance of plants.

On the river dam outside Zhangwan Village, two police officers with bloodshot eyes yawned continuously.

They didn't sleep all night, and they stood guard here, and they couldn't hold on anymore.

"Oh my god, how long do we have to stay here?" Yawning and rubbing his sore eyes, Zhao He glanced at Zhangwan Village not far away.

"The city order didn't say anything, so we have to stay here.

I can only hope that those who guard the yamen will come soon. "Looking at the big sun above his head, the old policeman Song Shangtao was smoking a dry cigarette.

Stretching his waist, Zhao He rubbed his stomach: "Hungry, Uncle Song, I'll go buy some breakfast, let's eat."

"Okay, nothing will happen in broad daylight anyway. Go and come back quickly."

In broad daylight, the old policeman also felt that there would be no accidents, so he nodded and asked the young policeman to go and buy some food.

After standing on guard all night, his stomach also growled a little.

"Come on. Uncle Song, what do you eat? Or fried buns, fragrant rice porridge?" Zhao He asked after stretching his waist and moving his body twice.

"Whatever." Nodding, Song Shangtao knocked the pot of the cigarette bag on the sole of his shoe, took out new tobacco from the small pouch on the stem and put it on.

After Zhao He left, only Song Shangtao was left alone on the river dam, looking at Zhangwan Village, which seemed to be dead.

"What a village, it's just ruined like this. Tsk tsk, what a pity."

The wheat field outside Zhangwan Village is already golden, and it is obvious that it has been a bumper year.

But in this harvest season, this village suffered a catastrophe, and the whole village died completely.

Sighing, Song Shangtao shrugged and said to himself, it seems that it is safer to live in the city.

Sucking on the cigarette holder, light gray clouds of smoke came out along Song Shangtao's nose.

The smoke confuses and dances in the air
"Huh? That's..."

The smoke floated in front of his eyes, and Song Shangtao habitually narrowed his eyes.

On the small road at the entrance of Zhangwan Village in the distance, a figure was walking towards this side.

Putting down the pipe and pot, Song Shangtao stood up and held the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand, frowned slightly, and shouted at the figure walking towards this side: "Who is it!"

"Don't be nervous, I'm human." Hearing Song Shangtao's shout, the figure on the opposite side quickly raised his hands, signaling that he was not threatening.

Hearing the sound, Song Shangtao's brows eased a little.

At this time, the figure also approached, it was Wei Ming who disappeared strangely in Zhangwan Village, and Sun Deyi and the others thought it was the ominous Wei Ming!

"You are... yesterday's hidden soldier.

What, are you also staying here to be garrisoned? Recognizing that Wei Ming is the hidden soldiers who came to deal with the ghosts yesterday, Song Shangtao let go of the lying knife and took the cigarette pipe and pot again.

Seeing Wei Ming walking out of Zhangwan Village, the old police officer thought that he was also left in Zhangwan Village to stand guard.

"Yeah, I kept watch all night." With a tired face, Wei Ming smiled helplessly, and walked to Song Shangtao's side.

Raising the cigarette pot in his hand, the old policeman quickly smiled and said, "Can you smoke? Take a couple of puffs to refresh yourself."

"Okay."

With a smile on his face, Wei Ming stretched out his hand to pick up the cigarette bag and pot delivered by the old catcher.

"You are..."

Looking at Wei Ming who was pinching his wrist in astonishment, Song Shangtao looked bewildered.

"Didn't you cheer me up?"

The smile on his face was stiff and gloomy, Wei Ming opened his mouth, his scarlet sticky tongue forked from the middle, revealing a fist-sized face with a pair of pale pupils.

"you you you……"

His face was pale, and Song Shangtao began to struggle vigorously, trying to break free from the wrist held by Wei Ming.

"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all."

Smiling to comfort the terrified Song Shangtao, the face on Wei Ming's tongue suddenly turned into a white shadow.

With a bang, it stabbed into the old catcher's head.

Song Shangtao's eyes turned white, and he moaned unconsciously.

After a while, the corpse collapsed to the ground.

"I'm getting older, the taste is much worse." Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wei Ming indifferently glanced at the old policeman's body at his feet, raised his legs up the embankment, and prepared to go down the ferry.

And at this moment, Zhao He, the little catcher who was carrying two oiled paper bags in his hand and still exuding a strong fragrance, came back humming a little song.

"Hey, this one is much younger. It should taste better."

Smiling, Wei Ming took the initiative to meet the returning Zhao He, with a pair of hands as white as snow, with glaring blue-black veins, he skillfully grabbed the little catcher's wrist.

……

Sun Deyi, who ate his breakfast hastily, wiped his mouth, and called everyone to set off for Zhangwan Village.

After leaving Xiadu, the six of them arrived at the river dam outside Zhangwan Village in less than a quarter of an hour without any delay.

"It's broken, something happened!"

When he came to the river dam, Sun Deyi saw two figures lying on the ground from a distance, let out a low shout, and hurried up his pace.

Zhao He, whose forehead was pierced with a big blood hole, opened his eyes dully, and the horror and distortion from before death remained on his face.

On the other side, Zhang Tianxue also ran to check on the dead Song Shangtao.

Sun Deyi closed his eyes for Zhao He with a gloomy face, and Sun Deyi got up slowly, without saying anything, but his right hand holding the Soft Scale Knife was already bulging with veins!
"It seems that the ghost has left Zhangwan Village.

A ghost that can appear during the daytime..."

Zhang Tianxue's expression was dignified, and the ghosts who could haunt during the day were almost the most powerful characters at the same level.

In other words, the ghost who killed the two catchers and Wei Ming is very likely to be stronger and more difficult to deal with than the giant baby ghost.

"Go to the village first and find Wei Ming's body." Taking a deep breath, Sun Deyi spoke slowly.

Now that Yin Gui had left Zhangwan Village, they would have to spend a lot of effort to find it.

Entering Zhangwan Village again, this time, Xiang Yuan could clearly feel the eerie feeling, which faded a lot.

Although the whole village was still silent, the chill that sent chills down the spine from yesterday was gone.

To be on the safe side, when searching for Wei Ming, a two-person team was adopted, Niu Da and Song Ning, Fan Guchun and Xiang Yuan, while Sun Deyi and Zhang Tianxue acted alone. A total of four teams quickly searched the village. stand up.

After searching for a while, everyone gathered at the entrance of Zhangwan Village again.

"No?"

Looking in astonishment at the crowd who came back empty-handed, Sun Deyi frowned.

"Is Wei Ming still alive?"

Wei Ming's body was not found, and everyone was both happy and suspicious.

The joy is that Wei Ming may still be alive and has escaped from Zhangwan Village.

The doubt is, since even the two guards guarding the river dam were killed by that ghost, how could he let Wei Ming go?
And look at the method of that ghost, it is only sucking people's brains, and has no interest in other parts, so it is unlikely that Wei Ming was eaten and even lost his body.

"Let's go back to Xiadu first. Zhao Shiling must be notified as soon as possible. If the ghost is transferred, if it sneaks into Xiadu city, something serious will happen."

The failure to find Wei Ming's body cast another cloud over Sun Deyi's heart.

There is no way, everyone can only go back to Xiadu first.

……

In Xiadu City, seeing the bodies of Song Shangtao and Zhao He, Zhao Guang, who was ordered to cross the city, almost collapsed to the ground.

"This, this... how could this happen?!"

Being supported by someone beside him, Zhao Guang's voice trembled.

Zhao He is his own nephew, and he was asked to guard the river dam in the hope that this incident could be used to gild him so that he can be promoted in the future.

But I didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

"Old Zhao, don't be too sad, I'm to blame for this.

It's just that I didn't expect that there are actually two ghosts in Zhangwan Village, and one of them can still haunt during the day. "

With a gloomy expression, Sun Deyi spoke to calm Zhao Guang.

In the final analysis, he really did not think about this matter. After all, Xiadu has seldom seen ghosts for so many years, even if multiple levels of ghosts broke out in the center of Liaohe this time.

The impact on Xiadu is also very small.

So in this environment, Sun Deyi subconsciously underestimated the danger of Zhangwan Village, which indirectly led to the disappearance and death of Wei Ming and the two police officers.

Being helped to calm down on the chair, Zhao Guang said, "Where is the ghost who killed my nephew?"

"That's what we're going to tell you.

The ghost is missing now, you must immediately order your subordinates to post notices and impose a curfew at the same time!

Although that ghost can walk in the daytime, he will not blatantly do harm in broad daylight.

He will definitely wait until night, looking for opportunities.

Now there is not much time before dark, you must hurry! "

Hearing that Yin Gui was missing, Zhao Guang's face became even more ugly.

Resisting to walk in front of Sun Deyi, the order of crossing the city leaned into the ear of the town guard, gritted his teeth slightly.

"Do you know how the higher-ups will deal with you and me once there is a case of ghosts wantonly hurting people!

I will immediately send someone to do what you said, and you guys should hurry up and find that ghost, and then execute the Fa on the spot!
Only in this way can you and I keep our black hats! "

Zhao Guang gritted his teeth almost word by word.

Knowing that this matter is indeed serious, Sun Deyi nodded silently: "Don't worry, Lao Zhao, even if you don't tell me, I will do my best."

……

Down the streets, notices were pasted at the gates of the city walls and on the bulletin boards of the market.

"Why is there a sudden curfew?"

"Yeah, why is there a curfew? I just want to attract some guests at night."

"It is impossible for the Yamen to have a curfew for no reason. Maybe something happened."

As soon as the notice was posted, a group of people gathered around and started discussing it immediately.

Even ordinary people here, there are vendors who rely on small business at night, and there are also servants and cooks of some big families in the city.

They gathered around the notice, discussing the reasons for the curfew.

In the small alleys in the city, several people guarding the yamen scattered and searched.

According to Sun Deyi's estimation, this ghost obviously possessed a certain amount of wisdom, otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding in Zhangwan Village to ambush Wei Ming, who was singled out.

So in broad daylight, it will definitely not hurt people in full view.

However, some sparsely populated and quiet alleys may become the scene of its murder.

After searching an alley, Xiang Yuan came to the street, and the traces of sweat can be clearly seen on his back.

Although Xiadu City is not as big as Ruyang, the workload of searching with only five or six people like Xiang Yuan is really not small.

Taking a breath, Xiang Yuan turned around and was about to walk to the next alley.

Missing the two men, Xiang Yuan's eyes suddenly fell on the short knives they were holding.

"Soft Scale Knife? Both of you, please stay."

Seeing the standard knives of the hidden soldiers in their hands, Xiang Yuan's eyes moved.

Turning around after a pause, the two men, one tall and one short, also heard that Xiang Yuan recognized their soft-scale knives: "Colleague?"

"Colleague, take a step to speak." Xiang Yuan slightly tore open the clothes on his chest, revealing the breastplate inside.

Seeing the breastplate, the two men showed a clear look.

The three of them walked into an empty alley, and the two men holding soft-scaled knives bowed towards Xiang Yuan:

"Xiangshan Shen Hongfei (Tong Ping), under the order of Shangfeng, came to the Liaohe area to suppress ghosts."

"Xia Xiangyuan, like you, also came to Liaohe to help suppress ghosts."

Notifying each other of their names, Shen Hongfei, who was a little taller and good-looking, said: "My two brothers have just arrived in Baodi, and they are looking for a local guarding the yamen.

I wonder if Brother Xiang can lead the way. "

"Naturally, but it's not a coincidence that you came here.

In the past two days, there have been two Ding Shangyin ghosts in Xiadu one after another. One has been killed, and the other is missing. It is estimated that it is hidden in the city.

Now all the hidden soldiers guarding the yamen are searching for traces of ghosts in the city.

Now you have gone to guard the yamen, and there is no one. "Xiang Yuan explained.

"Two Dings are superior? Is the situation in Liaohe so serious?" The one who spoke this time was Tong Ping, who was slightly shorter but obviously stronger.

This man with a pair of green eyebrows, spoke very crisply, with clear words, which made people sound very comfortable.

"Well, the escaped ghost is very strange. It has already killed two police officers and a local hidden soldier."

"Have hidden soldiers died in battle?"

Hearing that some hidden soldiers had died in battle, Shen Hongfei and Tong Ping's eyes sank slightly.

"Since that's the case, let's stay and help.

Anyway, our mission this time is to assist the local yamen in Liaohe to suppress ghosts. Looking at each other, Tong Ping said.

"That would be great." It is naturally good to have two more people to help.Xiang Yuan nodded immediately, and took Shen Hongfei and Tong Ping to the yamen to find Sun Deyi who was sitting there.

……

"The jackal and other hidden soldiers Tong Ping, the dog and other hidden soldiers Shen Hongfei. I have met the guard!"

When they came to the local yamen and found Sun Deyi, Shen Hongfei and Tong Ping saluted Sun Deyi with their right fists clasped over their hearts.

Sun Deyi was overjoyed when two helpers came to employ people.

In particular, Tong Ping was a hidden soldier like Jackal, which added a huge boost to everyone.

And just as Sun Deyi and the two were expressing their gratitude, Zhang Tianxue hurried back with a solemn face.

"found it!"

……

In a dark alleyway, there are many tattered tables, chairs and benches piled up around them. These discarded furniture almost occupy half of the entire alleyway.

It made the already narrow alleyways appear more crowded.

In the alley, a corpse with a pierced forehead was lying flat on the ground. Judging from the tattered clothes and emaciated body, it should be a beggar.

"It was the guy from the restaurant who found the body.

In the afternoon, he came here to take the damaged chairs as firewood. While moving the tables and chairs, he found the dead body in the alley.

Wu Zuo had already seen it, and the time of death did not exceed two hours. "

Clenching his fists, Sun Deyi looked sullen:
"It really entered Xiadu City."

"It's going to be dark soon, after dark, this ghost must be even more rampant.

We need to hurry to find him. Zhang Tianxue pursed his lips and said after glancing at the beggar who was dying on the ground.

"We searched for a whole day but couldn't find him. At night, wouldn't it be..." Niu Da said with a frustrated expression.

"Perhaps we can help."

Just when everyone was showing embarrassment, Tong Ping, who had just arrived, stood up and declared that he had a way to find the ghost.

He took out a square wooden box the size of a palm from his bosom, Tong Ping opened the wooden box, and there was an iron-blue beehive in the wooden box.

This is……

Seeing the hive, Xiang Yuan's breath tightened suddenly.

This hive is equipment!

His heartbeat quickened, and Xiang Yuan's eyes were full of brilliance.

But in this situation, even though he found out that the hive was equipment, it was impossible to grab it.

Suppressing the desire in his heart, he looked away, and when Xiang Yuan raised his head, he happened to meet Shen Hongfei's gaze.

Sensing the other party's strange gaze, Xiang Yuan moved his lips twice.

"Is this a clever bug?"

Seeing a boar-nosed beetle lying on the hive in the small wooden box, Sun Deyi looked happy.

"Brother Sun has good eyesight, he is just a clever bug.

This time when we came out, the guard of our family considered the complicated situation here in Liaohe, and specially asked us to bring this clever bug.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy. Smiling, Tong Ping took the wooden box and came to the dead beggar's body.

With a flick of the wrist, the clever insect in the wooden box spread its wings and flew to the forehead of the corpse, where the wound was left by the ghost.

The pink pig's nose gently sniffed around the wound, and after a while, the worm's belly squirmed, and it actually laid four sesame-sized, milky white eggs in succession.

"It's broken, this ghost has the ability to differentiate." Putting away the magic bug, seeing the four eggs, Tong Ping's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice.

Taking two steps forward, Sun Deyi pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "If you wait for a long time, the ghost with the ability to divide will become more and more difficult to deal with, and must be eradicated as soon as possible.

However, after splitting, the strength of ghosts will drop a lot.

We now have eight people, in groups of two, we must kill them all before they split up again!

Tianxue, take Niu Da with you.

Gu Chun, you are with me, Xiang Yuan, Song Ning, you two are in a group.

Tong Ping, I'm sorry for troubling you to carry out such a dangerous task when you are new here. "

Waving his hands, Tong Ping said, "No way, suppressing ghosts is our bounden duty as hidden soldiers."

Here, Sun Deyi arranged a number of people, and the four insect eggs on the forehead of the beggar's corpse also quietly hatched four short, small insects like flying mosquitoes.

As soon as the four little bugs were born, they slowly found a direction and started to fly away.

Quickly coming to Xiang Yuan, handing over a letter bullet, Sun Deyi said:

"If you lose to Yin Gui, release the letter bomb immediately, and we will come to help you as soon as possible."

Among the four groups, only Xiang Yuan and Song Ning were hidden soldiers like dogs, so Sun Deyi was a little worried.

"Don't worry." After receiving the letter, Xiang Yuan nodded.

Without further ado, in order to prevent the ghosts from splitting up again, the four groups of people immediately rushed in four directions under the leadership of the clever flying mosquito.

When the four groups of people set off, the sky had already begun to darken. Under the effect of the curfew, the streets and alleys that were supposed to be brightly lit had become sparsely populated.

Holding the Soft Scale Knife at their waists, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning, led by Ling Ji Chong, came to the Xiadu storage area.

In the five-meter-high log fence, tall warehouses stand quietly after the sunset.

In the dark with a little dark blue, the workers responsible for loading the goods went home early because of the curfew.

In the entire storage area, only two dark yellow lanterns hung at the door, which could illuminate the boundary of Zhang Xu in front of the door.

But inside the storage area, there was a gloomy and silent darkness.

Taking down the lantern hanging at the door, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning exchanged a glance, smashed the big lock on the wooden door, and followed the inspiration flying mosquito into this quiet and somewhat gloomy place.

The rustling sound of the soles as they make contact with the ground is even more pronounced in the quiet storage area.

Following the inspiration, Flying Mosquito came to a huge warehouse. The door painted with dark red lacquer was like a silent giant standing in front of the two of them.

Blocked by the gate, the Ingenuity Flying Mosquito stopped in front of the gate.

Without rushing to open the door and go in, Xiang Yuan walked around the warehouse with a lantern.

The warehouse is more than ten meters high, the walls are smooth and there is no reception point, only a row of vents less than one meter wide are opened under the top eaves.

The vent is so narrow that only a five or six-year-old child can pass through it.

Obviously, this is the builder of the warehouse, preventing someone from entering the warehouse through the vents along the wall and stealing the contents.

Back at the warehouse door, Xiang Yuan shook his head: "There are no other entrances around, the only way to get in is through this door."

Glancing at the big brass lock on the vermilion door, Song Ning glanced at his mouth: "This lock is so strong, when we smash it down, all the ghosts inside will be alarmed."

"That might not be the case." Passing the lantern in his hand to Song Ning, he stepped forward to Yuan in two steps, the muscles on his thick arms swelled like rocks carved by wind and sand.

Grasping the bottom of the door knocker on the gate, Xiang Yuan exerted strength with his arms, the veins on his arms swelled up, he took a deep breath, and slowly pulled it out.

Boo!
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xiang Yuan pulled the knocker out of the door even with the big lock.

Looking at the door knocker in Xiang Yuan's hand in astonishment, the corner of Song Ning's mouth twitched: "It's fucking okay..."
