At what age are you still being a traditional monster?

"The emperor's spirit is exhausted in the east of the river, and how can a concubine enter the Han Palace. The green blood turns into grass on the river, and the flowers bloom more red than azaleas."

The old man recited the poem blankly, shook his head and ran away from Lin Xu.

Lin Xu watched the old man walking away while muttering, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Sheng Ge grabbed Lin Xu, and said: "Taoist, this place is a bit weird, what are the people here wearing flowers for?"

Lin Xu shook his head and said, "This flower is not for wearing."

Sheng Ge opened his eyes wide and said, "Could it be that they can grow up?"

Lin Xu nodded.

Shengge was speechless, and anyone would think it was a fairy tale to grow flowers on the top of a person's head.

Lin Xu asked a few more people to question, and the reactions of those people were the same as that of the old man, with dull eyes and inexplicable words in their mouths.

Some are swearing, some are telling their children to eat...

It's all nonsense.

Lin Xu turned around and walked into a tavern. A beggar at the door of the tavern was knocking on a bowl, with the same dull eyes, and said in his mouth: "It's blooming..."

Sheng Ge saw that the flowers on the top of the beggar's head were blooming extremely beautifully, and was about to reach out to touch them, when Lin Xu said:

"Don't pull it out."

Sheng Ge shyly withdrew her hand and said, "I'll just take a look."

Lin Xu shook his head lightly, and stepped into the lobby of the tavern.

Someone was wandering in the tavern, just like the passers-by outside, muttering words and walking aimlessly.

Some people had already reached the edge of the wall and continued to move forward, hitting her scalp and scratching off half of her shoes, exposing bloody toes that were entangled in twigs.

Lin Xu pulled her away, but she walked forward again. Seeing that it was of no help, Lin Xu could only turn her around and let her walk towards the door.

She walked out of the door and tripped over the threshold, but her whole body was still in a walking posture, her feet were beating the ground, she was muttering something, and her head was bleeding from the ground.

Shengge couldn't stand it anymore, helped her up, and said, "Wake up, what's wrong with you, wake up!"

But she was still 'walking', broke free from Shengge, bumped into the wall of the tavern again, and continued walking.

Sheng Ge felt goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly grabbed Lin Xu.

"Taoist, this place is evil, let's go!"

Lin Xu nodded, and was about to walk out of the tavern when a person walked in.

The man wore a veiled hat, but instead of gauze, a thick layer of coarse cloth hung down from it, completely covering his face.

Not only the head, but all the exposed skin on his body was covered with a layer, no, just looking at it, you can't even tell whether he is a man or a woman.

The only thing that can tell his identity is that he is dressed like Lin Xu, wearing a Taoist robe.

There is no need to doubt, just because he was a little surprised when he saw Lin Xu and Sheng Ge at first sight, he knew that he was different from other people in this town and had a mind.

When the man saw Lin Xu, he spoke first, "Who is it?"

Sheng Ge saw that the man was dressed strangely and appeared inexplicably, and when he finished speaking, he immediately threw a row of throwing knives from his waist.

Lin Xu was slightly taken aback, he didn't realize that this girl had martial arts skills.

The flying knife flew to the man's face, and he grabbed it lightly, and then pinched it hard.

Shengge's face was shocked. She didn't expect her flying knife to be vulnerable in front of that person, which obviously exceeded her expectations.

Lin Xu looked carefully, the man clearly used a magic spell to absorb Shengge's flying knife, and then cast a magical spell to crush the flying knife.

This person knows magic.

The man threw off the broken iron on his body, and the next moment he was in front of Shengge, and he was about to grab Shengge with his hand.

Land shrinking technique.

Lin Xu grabbed the man's hand, and with the other hand he used a sword formula to poke at it.

The man sensed the sword energy on Lin Xu's finger, stretched out his hand and made a three-mountain tactic, and forced Lin Xu's sword finger down.

Immediately, Lin Xu's whole body seemed to be carrying a heavy burden, and he fell towards the ground uncontrollably. Following this force, Lin Xu swung his tail with a scorpion, and kicked the man, knocking him back several steps.

After opening the distance, Lin Xu protected Sheng Ge with one hand, stretched out the other hand, and said:

"Fellow Daoist, slow down!"

The man shook his drowsy head from being kicked by Lin Xu, and then said angrily: "It's obvious that you guys did it first!"

"..."

Lin Xu smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and looked at Sheng Ge behind him, who stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

"Impulse."

Lin Xu turned his head and said, "It's my...er...sister, offended, I will accompany her to fellow Taoist."

The man was still angry, and said: "When we meet, we will kill you. You are also a Taoist priest. How can you recognize this strong sister?"

Sheng Ge said angrily: "You are the strong man! This lady is a chivalrous woman, a chivalrous woman!"

Lin Xu hastily smoothed things over and said: "Fellow Daoist, calm down. Actually, I just came here for the first time, and I saw that this place is weird. Fellow Daoist, you are also dressed in a sneaky way. She acted out of fear for a moment, and I hope you will forgive me."

The man said: "It's because of the weirdness of this place that I wrote the four big characters 'Do not enter to strangers' at the entrance of the town, you must be blind!"

It turns out that you are the one who left the words at the entrance!

Lin Xu said: "Don't hide it from fellow daoists, fellow daoists should have noticed that the poor Taoist is a practitioner. Seeing the strangeness of this place, I'm afraid there may be some monsters at work, so I came in to find out."

"Oh? If that's the case, tell me your name, which mountain are you from, and which Taoist priest?"

Lin Xu raised his hand and said: "Heifeng Mountain Changchun Guan Ling Xuzi also."

This is Lin Xu's nonsense, Heifeng Mountain and Changchun Temple are separated by twenty miles, you can't just say that you are a mountain monster practicing Taoism, there are so many Taoist temples in the world, I don't believe you can recognize them all.

Sure enough, when the man heard it, he thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember such a place, but he still reluctantly raised his hand and said: "It turns out that it is Lingxuzi Taoist friend of Changchun Temple. I call myself Jiugong Taoist. He is a casual cultivator in the countryside. No mountains."

Lin Xu said: "I've met Fellow Daoist Nine Palaces, since you came here before me, can you clear up my doubts?"

Taoist Jiugong was about to speak, when suddenly, a gust of wind blew the door of the tavern.

"No, it's windy!"

Taoist Jiugong hastily closed the door of the tavern, and jumped up to the second floor without dying.

"What do you still see, come with me!"

Although Lin Xu was puzzled, he still obeyed, grabbed Sheng Ge, and jumped up to the second floor.

Taoist Jiugong pushed open the door of a room to let the three of them in, then closed the door, turned over and closed all the windows.

This alone was not enough, Taoist Jiugong picked up a few white cloths from the table and stuck them on the doors and windows, covering the room in a drowsy state.

Feeling that there was still wind coming in through the crack of the door, Taoist Jiugong hurriedly took out the talisman paper on his body and stuffed it into the crack to prevent any wind from blowing in.

Lin Xu frowned tightly, what kind of monsters and ghosts should be in such a serious battle, not letting go of even a little bit.

Outside the window, there was a sound of wind, blowing sand on the street.

The three of them stayed quietly in the room, listening to the wind pass by.

After waiting for a long time, the Taoist of Jiugong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'm fine."

Sheng Ge felt puzzled and said, "Wait a minute, isn't this just a gust of wind?"

Taoist Jiugong said: "That's right, isn't this wind terrible?"

Shengge looked surprised, and felt that the only normal person in this small town in front of him seemed a little abnormal.

Chapter 72

Different from Sheng Ge, Lin Xu has been quietly watching everything that Taoist Jiugong did. When Taoist Jiugong opened the window again, Lin Xu finally spoke:

"Friend Daoist, is there something in this wind?"

Taoist Jiugong looked out of the window and said calmly: "You have seen all the people in this town."

Lin Xu thought for a while and said, "Is their strange appearance related to this wind?"

Taoist Jiugong nodded and said: "That's right, if you don't want to become like them, you'd better wrap yourself up like me."

Lin Xu said: "What kind of evil wind is this?"

Taoist Jiugong shook his head and said, "I also came here ten days ago. I just stayed here for one night. When I walked out of the inn, I found that some people had abnormalities. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it because of some small spirits. But then suddenly a strong wind blew one night, and the town became what you see now."

Lin Xu said: "So you guess that everything has something to do with the wind? Then the wind seems to be quite suspicious, but besides all those people seem to have lost their souls, there are also flowers growing on the top of their heads, which is..."

"This, I don't know, I haven't figured out the situation until now."

Seeing that Taoist Jiugong didn't know more about the situation, Lin Xu decided to figure out the joints by himself.

So I went downstairs and randomly pulled someone up.

"Fellow Taoist, can you know the art of drawing banners and summoning souls?"

Taoist Jiugong said: "Do you think the wind blows away their souls, which makes them crazy?"

The man who was pulled up by Lin Xu, disheveled and drooling at the corner of his mouth, read: "Hey, beauty, beauty."

It seems that this person was in some Yanliu alley before the accident happened, but now he came to this tavern insanely.

Lin Xu said: "It's just a guess."

Taoist Jiugong nodded, ejected a circle of talismans, threw two pieces into the air, pointed his finger, and the talismans burned in the air.

"Souls come and go!"

The talisman burned up on the top of the man's head and landed on the flowers growing on his head, but it didn't bring back a sliver of his sanity, and he was still like a fool, chanting:

"Beauty...hehe...beauty..."

Thinking about it, he got up and walked, and rushed straight to Shengge.

Lin Xu stopped him, and stopped Sheng Ge's flying knife between his fingers, and said to Taoist Jiugong:

"Spiritualism is useless, so the three souls and seven souls are not lost."

After finishing speaking, he touched the man's wrist again, and said: "The pulse condition is weak, um, there are some symptoms of kidney qi loss, but overall it is still normal."

"I haven't lost my soul, and I'm still alive. The only abnormality is the flowers growing on my head... Fellow Daoist, when did all the people in this town become like this?"

Taoist Jiugong replied: "When I first came here, I only saw grass growing on some people's heads. I thought it was a custom here. Until five days ago, there was a strong wind that blew for four days. I I stayed in the room and didn't go out, and when I came out again, I saw flowers blooming on their heads, and they became demented."

It turned out that Taoist Jiugong only discovered this situation in less than a day.

"Five days..." Lin Xu's eyes gradually became sharper, and he asked, "Have they ever eaten?"

"How can you eat after all this?"

Lin Xu nodded and said: "That's wrong. People can go hungry for six or seven days, but they can't last three days without water. Logically speaking, they should have died of thirst long ago."

Taoist Jiugong was suddenly enlightened by Lin Xu's words, "That's right! Why are they still alive?"

Sheng Ge added: "It's fine to be alive, but they can still walk, the kind that can't be stopped."

Lin Xu thought for a while, and said, "Fellow Daoist Nine Palaces, isn't anyone dead in this town?"

Jiu Gongdao said humanely: "How do I know this, I'm not idle, I just click on their heads every day, besides, they wander around like this every day, maybe they went somewhere."

Lin Xu got up and said: "Go, go out and search, see if there are any corpses."

The three of them left as they said, but they wandered around the street for half a circle, and they didn't see half of them down. They were all walking around with flowers on their heads.

Lin Xu pushed away a private house.

"Look inside."

The three of them were like robbers who robbed houses, broke into houses, and looked at each one.

After working for a long time, I still haven't found a body.

Shengge leaned on his waist and bent down to pant. His feet felt soft, and he saw that he was stepping on a field of flowers. For a moment, he felt pity and love, so he quickly moved his feet away.

But the moment he moved his foot away, he realized something was wrong.

Here is the street, not to mention how smooth the road is, it is also paved with bricks. Even if some flowers and plants grow, it is not as large as before.

"Taoist, here!"
