255, Shadow Killing (1/2)
"It's so weird!!!"
The screams pierced the silent village and then stopped abruptly. Google search reading
The shadow covering the three people beside the fire,
Suddenly spread around!
then,
The three thieves wrapped in the shadow were also forced to stretch their limbs because the shadow sticking to them spread out in all directions - they struggled to stretch - and were eventually torn apart by the shadow at the same time.
Blood spilled all over the floor,
Broken limbs and broken bodies were scattered in a mess.
Three people died at the same time!
The shadows regrouped into vague human shapes,
This figure is missing its right hand.
——The hand of the zombie ghost that Su Wu initially accommodated was a right arm.
It always grew out of his right armpit.
now,
He summoned the power of the ghoul's hand,
Condensing this shadow figure,
But only the right hand is missing.
This seems to contain some kind of symbolic meaning,
It shows that Su Wu's 'Ghost Hand' is always a mutilated ghost.
The shadow appears and I don’t know where I am.
But as long as Su Wu uses the power of the corpse ghost hand frequently enough, it will still randomly appear somewhere around Su Wu and start chasing Su Wu.
And the real corpse ghost,
It's still in the secret realm now.
Su Wu knew where it was - after all, he had transferred history, and everything in the simulation of the hidden realm had overlapped with reality.
He witnessed the death of 'Guangfa' in the simulation,
Guangfa burial ground,
This is where the 'Zi Tuo Ghost - Master of the Corpse Forest' is located.
Only Su Wu truly tolerated these two tricks,
Only the shadow human form condensed by him will be complete.
However, these two monsters are very scary.
The Master of the Corpse Grove showed in the simulation that he has the power to compete with the Mother of Evils. It must be a wild-level Cree.
In the past, Su Wu suspected that Yinggui was a ferocious Ligui.
Its killing pattern is relatively easy to circumvent.
But after Yinggui chased him several times, his belly gradually grew bigger, as if he was pregnant - this gave Su Wu new doubts.
Shadow Cree is most likely also a Li Cree that exceeds the 'ferocious level'.
Its specific level is unknown.
so,
Now the shadow of the condensed force of my own evil,
The ones that are incomplete are also incomplete.
After all, it is the power at one's disposal.
The black liquid on the dark figure squirmed and condensed into a python,
He swallowed the salted chickens, ducks, and piglets hanging on the shelf and dragged them into the shadow world.
These livestock cannot be taken away and raised in Heifeng Village. After all, these thieves have no fixed abode. Today they are eating and drinking happily, but tomorrow the officers and soldiers will have to pack up and run away. Where can I find the time to raise chickens, ducks and pigs? sheep,
It is extremely difficult to raise several mules and horses.
But they didn't waste it. After slaughtering it, they were about to make it into cured meat and take it away.
Everything is cheaper now Su Wu.
The mutilated figure passed over the still bubbling cauldron,
A cold and mysterious rhyme covers the past,
The water in the cauldron suddenly became ice cold.
The firewood under the pot suddenly went out, as if the burning wood was buried in the soil and turned into charcoal.
A gap appeared in the figure's chest,
follow closely,
Cui Yulan's head poked out from the shadows,
Half of her body was squeezed out of the shadow, and she broke away from the figure. She looked at the figure behind her who was missing her right arm with lingering fear, and saw that the blurred facial contour of the figure gradually became clearer.
Su Wu's face was clear in black and white, and her cold eyes were revealed from her face.
He looked at her and said, "Look to see if there are any living people around.
Chase that woman back,
Give her a change of clothes. "
Talking
Shadow reached out and held out a small, bright knife.
"Hold it to defend yourself."
"Yes." Cui Yulan responded quickly, looking beyond the shadows and looking at the naked woman running away in panic - that was her familiar sister-in-law Zhaodi.
She spread her long legs,
Go after the other person immediately.
"sly?
Where is the trick? ! "
"Where is the trick!"
"Second brother!"
At this time,
A burst of noisy shouts and footsteps came from the east alley,
More than a dozen men of different heights, sizes, and weights, but with more or less blood on their clothes, ran out of the alley.
At a glance, they saw Cui Yulan chasing ‘Sister-in-law Zhaodi’.
The joy has not yet appeared on his face,
Then I saw the dark figure standing next to the cold iron pot again.
The gangsters' scalps went numb.
Someone screamed: "Oh my god, it's really weird!"
"Run, run, run!"
"Run!"
The bandits were panicking,
I immediately wanted to run away - however, some people ran to the left, some ran to the right, some moved forward, some retreated, so they were all huddled together, like a group of rats in the sewer with their tails entangled with each other!
Gala!
The figure without a right arm turned to face them.
There is still dark liquid squirming on it,
The huge black python extended from its body and spread out in an instant,
Cover all the gangsters!
Gala, Gala, Gala!
The heads of the gangsters were covered by shadows and lifted up into the air.
Their legs kept kicking and struggling!
But the head was firmly covered by the shadow python!
About a minute later,
The legs of these bandits hang straight down,
There was no movement.
The shadow python suddenly withdraws,
Corpses with bulging eyes and extended tongues fell to the ground.
The figure blends into the ground instantly,
disappeared without a trace,
And the screams of bandits began to be heard from all over Shili Village.
…
About a moment passed,
Shilihe Village became extremely quiet.
The crows sitting on the dead branches fled,
The thieves and bandits wandering around in various villages and plundering money fell to death one after another.
Su Wu sat cross-legged at the entrance of the village.
A rag was spread in front of him,
He put the coins and valuables he had collected from the thieves on rags.
Copper coins were sparsely spread out on the rags,
There are about a thousand pieces,
That is always money.
In addition,
There was also a copper ring, a pair of copper bracelets, and a jade safety buckle—all items of little value.
He tied the rags into a small bundle,
Left to the custody of the shadow python squirming beneath my feet,
At this time,
A pitiful cry came from the distance,
Cui Yulan pulled a platoon cart,
Sister-in-law Zhaodi, who was almost insulted by the bandit, was pushing the cart behind, and the two women were crying all the way.
There were several corpses wrapped in straw mats in the car.
They are all the bodies of their family members who were killed in the bandit attack.
Several crows howled in the distance,
Along with women's cries,
It seems that the village below is getting more and more desolate.
Su Wu said nothing and let the two of them push the car forward.
Get out of the village.
He holds a burning stick and throws flames everywhere,
The whole village was surrounded by raging fires,
The sky burned red.
Su Wu helped the two women bury their parents, husbands, and parents-in-law.
He first looked at Zhaodi, the woman who had lost her husband.
The other party is not old,
Only twenty-three or four years old,
At this age in later generations, I have just stepped out of society.
And at the moment,
But he has already experienced all kinds of hardships.
"Where do you want to go next, sister-in-law? Do you still have parents and family that you can go to?" Su Wu asked Zhaodi.
Zhaodi had just experienced a disaster.
Nowadays, I am always full of fear towards strange men.
Even though this thin young man seemed to be a good person and helped her bury her parents-in-law and husband, she was still very afraid of Su Wu and did not dare to say anything.
She hid in the arms of Cui Yulan, who was much younger than her and had tears on her face.
"He's asking you something, sister-in-law.
I remember your natal family is in Dashiqiao Village?
Why don't we send you to your parents' house later? " Cui Yulan felt extremely sad when she saw the miserable corpses of her parents, but she also suppressed her emotions. She gently stroked Sister-in-law Zhaodi's back and comforted her in a soft voice.
"Send, take me back to my parents' home..."
Sister-in-law Zhaodi murmured to herself,
As soon as you close your eyes,
Suddenly two lines of tears flowed down: "Yeah, okay, just go back to your parents' house..."
Although she promised so,
But Su Wu knew it as soon as he heard it.
Returning to her parents' home didn't seem like a good place for her.
How is this going?
Su Wu frowned.
Cui Yulan patted Zhaodi's back. Seeing Su Wu's confused eyes, she beckoned him to come closer and whispered to him: "The years are not good, and Dashiqiao Village is also relatively poor...
She returned to her parents' home,
If the situation is better, my parents can arrange marriage again.
If the situation is not good, you may die because of your observance..."
What is meant by ‘die in righteousness’?
A woman who has no food, no water, and no support from her natal family,
I can only commit suicide by myself.
Earn a good reputation for your natal family.
The government built a memorial arch for it, and the natal family also got some money.
Su Wu understood the meaning of Cui Yulan's words.
He nodded,
Looking at Sister-in-law Zhaodi,
After thinking in silence for a while,
Suddenly he said: "Sister-in-law, we can't stay here any longer."
When he said this, he meant to drive the other party away.
Zhaodi was frightened after hearing this.
But I also know my integrity,
She broke away from Cui Yulan's arms and pursed her lips: "I, I know the way back to my parents' home. Thank you brave man for saving me. I will go home by myself. I will just go home by myself..."
She was talking,
He had to kneel down and kowtow to Su Wu to thank him.
Su Wu stopped her,
He said directly: "Next, we have to go to the surrounding mountains and deal with all the bandits.
After finishing this matter, it will probably be dusk.
My sister-in-law can’t continue to follow us.
In order to avoid shocking you, it is not good to splatter you with blood when killing people. "
He was talking,
He took out a few hundred dollars and handed it to Zhao Di: "Sister-in-law, why don't you take this money yourself and see where you can make a living?"
"Are you going to kill those bandits in Heifeng Village?" Zhao Di did not accept the string of copper coins handed to her by Su Wu. She raised her oval face and stared at Su Wu's face closely.
Now there was no fear in her eyes.
Instead, there was a fire burning.
"yes."
Su Wu nodded and shook the bunch of copper coins in his hand: "So my sister-in-law should take advantage of the dawn and leave on her own. These few hundred dollars can be considered as a gift from me to my sister-in-law."
A bad premonition arose in his heart,
I always feel that I shouldn't talk like this,
It may produce unintended consequences.
really--
Zhao Di still didn't take the money he handed over, but just knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to him repeatedly: "Zhao Di is willing to go to Black Wind Village with the warrior to avenge her deceased husband!"
"Although I am not as strong as men,
I can also pull the plow to plow the land,
and push the mill to pound rice!
I can always help the warrior!"
Su Wu fell silent after hearing this.
After having dinner with his master and others this morning,
he, Gou Sheng, and the mute girl have all become formal disciples of the Yin Xi lineage,
and he himself is the eldest brother of the Kitchen God Yin Xi lineage,
so he hopes to have more men under his tutelage, so that there will always be someone to share the affairs when imprisoning the ghosts and opening temples and stoves in the future.
But judging from the current situation,
the reality is gradually going against his expectations.
Yin Xi Yin Xi, is there something wrong with the name of this lineage?
