ghost man, please let me go

Chapter 231: Struggling

Following Xu Qing's gaze, I saw some dark red flesh and blood on the top layer of white bones. Although the face was so rotten that I couldn't see its original appearance, there was still flesh and blood on it. Proving that these corpses have not been around for a long time is indeed contradictory to what the old woman said about being abandoned for a long time.

"Maybe someone didn't know the weirdness here, so they buried the body here." I said speculatively.

After hearing what I said, Xu Qing raised her eyebrows, but she didn't refute my words.

The two of us stared at the bones for a while, and found nothing unusual, so we waved to the trembling villagers standing in the distance, signaling them to come over.

When the villagers saw my gesture, they subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when they thought that they had nowhere to go besides following us, they could only reluctantly walk over.

I looked at the villagers, and said calmly, "Don't worry, we will watch by your side, nothing will happen, let's bury the corpse quickly, just leave here, otherwise we will delay here The longer it takes, the more dangerous it is."

After hearing what I said, the villagers thought about it, and felt that this was indeed the case. They picked up the shovel that they had left on the ground just now, and walked towards the pit again, wanting to finish their work quickly so that they could go back to rest.

Although the temple is also very weird, it is better than guarding a pile of human bones and corpses here.

The villagers moved very quickly this time. After cleaning up the surrounding soil, they quickly buried Er Zhuang with only a pile of bones in the rag we found when we came.

After doing all this, we breathed a sigh of relief, and now we just need to fill in the soil again.

The villagers also knew that it was almost over. Seeing that we had been here for so long and nothing strange happened, they gradually became more courageous, telling jokes while working.

We saw that the villagers were not so scared and did not restrict them. After all, even though they said this, their hands were not slow. The soil was almost filled, and we can call it a day and go back.

A large piece of loess was filled into the pit by the villagers. It was originally a huge pit, which was already level with the ground, but the soil looked much softer than the surrounding soil.

When I saw that it was enough, I asked the villagers to stop, "Okay, it's almost there, let's go back quickly." As I said that, I looked up at the sky. It was dark, and even on the path we came over just now, there was a thin layer of mist, making it difficult to see the real situation.

Looking at the blurry forest in the distance, I suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. Now that the body of Er Zhuang has been dealt with, it is better for us to leave here as soon as possible.

"Let's go, we can't stay here for long." Thinking to myself, I spoke to the villagers.

The villagers didn't want to be here for a long time, and now they saw me talking, they nodded quickly, and they didn't even want the shovel they brought over just now, and walked towards the path just now.

Seeing that the villagers had already left, we quickly followed them. However, as soon as we walked a distance of 50 meters, we saw a figure standing vaguely on the path ahead.

I stopped vigilantly, preventing the villagers from moving forward.

However, the figure in front seemed to have heard our movements, and just after we stopped, the figure slowly turned around.

It turned out to be the old Taoist who was killed by us!

Xu Qing and I looked at the strangely smiling figure in front of us in shock. I clearly remembered that just last night, Xu Qing cut off the head of the old man with his own hands. Why did the old man appear here now?

"Ah, isn't this the one we buried?" Suddenly Zhang Daleng yelled, pointing at the old Taoist in front of him and said inexplicably.

The swarthy man and another villager were also obviously terrified by this scene. Anyone who saw a dead person buried by himself and suddenly appeared in front of him would be scared to death, okay?

I was even more surprised when I heard Zhang Daleng's exclamation. Hearing Zhang Daleng's tone, they really buried this old man, so why does the old man appear here again now, and look at the old man under him? The shadowy shadow is obviously not dirty.

Seeing us standing there without speaking, the old Taoist still had obvious shock in his eyes, and a slightly weird arc at the corner of his mouth, "Why, you were shocked to see me?"

I didn't speak, I just looked at the old Taoist in front of me coldly, thinking about how the old Taoist was different back then.

Seeing that we were not talking, the old Taoist lifted up his Taoist robe in embarrassment, and walked towards us loosely. Seeing this, I looked at the old Taoist secretly vigilantly, and signaled the villagers to back off. No matter whether the old Taoist is a human or a ghost, why did he appear in this place? Here, in short, it will definitely not be a good thing for us!

Kunpeng felt the vigilance and uneasiness in my heart, and looked at the old Taoist not far away with his dark and deep eagle eyes. The old Taoist seemed to feel Kunpeng's lightning-like gaze, and Muran turned his head to look at Kunpeng on my shoulder.

In an instant, the old Taoist's originally calm face suddenly changed, his pupils shrank slightly, and he was surprised and speechless looking at Kunpeng on my shoulder.

Xu Qing and I looked at each other, looked at the old man's expression solemnly, and looked at the old man's reaction. I was sure that the old man recognized Kunpeng's identity, otherwise he would never have such a surprised look.

The old Taoist stared at Kunpeng for a while, and found that he was absent-minded. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at us, "I didn't expect you to be able to find the ancient beast." Looking at Kunpeng.

Kunpeng felt uncomfortable being stared at by this look, he couldn't help shaking the dark feathers on his body, raised his eyes, and half-squinted to look at the old man, with a serious and undisguised attack.

I am connected with Kunpeng now, even if there is no communication, I can still feel Kunpeng's hostility towards the old Taoist. I stroked the pure black and shiny feathers on Kunpeng's body comfortingly, signaling him to be calm and calm.

"Aren't you dead?" Zhang Daleng finally couldn't help it, and pointed at the old man, with obvious fear in his eyes.

The old Taoist glanced at Zhang Daleng, moved his lips, "Didn't you see me now?"

When Zhang Daleng heard the old man's answer, his expression became more complicated, and he retreated again and again.

"So, the person that day wasn't you at all?" Xu Qing looked at the old man in disbelief and asked.

The old man didn't answer, but his eyes clearly told us that Xu Qing was right.

Xu Qing and I looked at each other. I didn't expect that what we spent so much effort to kill that day was just a puppet of this old man. With solemn expressions in our eyes, we looked at the old man in front of us cautiously. It was just a puppet. Let us spend so much energy that day, and now the old man is standing in front of us, we have to re-evaluate the old man's ability.

"The person that day should have been created by an experienced Taoist." Xu Qing suddenly said to me after a while.

I nodded quickly when I heard the sound. In fact, I also thought of this, but I just felt a little unbelievable. After all, we remember the old Taoist that day clearly, and he didn't look like a puppet at all.

Seeing that Xu Qing and I were muttering non-stop, the old Taoist snorted coldly.

"Don't think that if you have Kunpeng, I can't do anything to you."

I raised my eyebrows, looked at the greedy look in the eyes of the old man, but said calmly, "Oh? Then we want to see what you are capable of."

The old Taoist frowned slightly, and looked at us disdainfully, "Just you ants, as long as I make a move, you have no power to fight back. If you are sensible, you should hurry up and hand over Kunpeng to me, so that I can still look after Kunpeng." I save your life for the sake of my face." The old Taoist's eyes were haughty, as if saving our life is a great gift to us.

As soon as the old man said something, Xu Qing looked at the old man with a sneer on his face, with a sneering smile on his lips, "This old man is really thick-skinned. He took other people's things, and he is ashamed to say that he will spare others here." Xu Qing's voice was not Xiao, the surrounding villagers and old Taoists all heard Xu Qing's words.

After the villagers listened, there was a sneer on their faces, and the old man was even livid at Xu Qing's words, staring at Xu Qing with vicious eyes, "I advise you to say a few words less, or you won't even have the strength to seek death in a while." .”

Xu Qing raised her fair chin, without any fear in her eyes, "Then I want to see how you make me not even have the strength to seek death."

Looking at Xu Qing's attitude, the old Taoist knew that it was impossible for us to hand over Kunpeng to him obediently, so he showed an ugly face, pointed to the villagers behind us and said sinisterly, "I will remind you one last time, if you really If you don’t hand over Kunpeng to me, then you guys don’t want to get out of here today.” The old Taoist said, with a flick of his right hand that was originally drooping, the surrounding mist gathered quickly and moved towards the place we occupied. coming from the direction.

Seeing the old man's movements, Xu Qing hurriedly reminded, "Everyone, get out of the way, the fog is poisonous, shut your breath."

When the villagers heard the words, they quickly covered their mouths in horror, not daring to breathe.

The old Taoist said that this was just a warning to us. Seeing our reaction, his face softened a little, and he said coldly again, "If you don't know your senses again, it won't be so simple next time."

The villagers were startled, with slight struggle in their eyes.
