Rebirth of Beigu Sirius

At noon, with Situ Lin and Yun Zhuo at the head and Duan Zhaoying behind, with the two little ancestors in between, the group of five cautiously entered the lifeless Wangquan Town.

This place, which used to be closely related to the two of them in the past, has changed its appearance long ago. The mud houses have been replaced with tile-roofed houses, and the dirt road has become a stone road.It's just that it's still as terrifyingly silent as seven years ago, with no insects, birds, water, or wind. It's still worse than the desolate and dilapidated scene when they exorcised demons.

In such a big town, the only vague smell of blood wafted around, accompanied by the intermittent footsteps of several people, echoing alone on Qingshi Street.

Yun Zhuo held his sword in front and looked around as he walked. Seeing that there was no sign of a living person after walking around, his heart sank for half a minute.

——As those teenagers said, the place is dead and strange, not to mention human voices, and there is almost no wind and grass.Could it be that this town has not been able to escape the many disasters of Gui Litan in the past few years, and was completely slaughtered by the ghost king.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, but he didn't know that his footsteps didn't stop even when he was absent-minded, and he bumped into Situ Lin's back in front of him without noticing.

"Rin...Brother Situ?"

Seeing the person in front of him suddenly stop and seemed to be thinking, Yun Zhuo rubbed his sore nose and almost blurted out: "What's wrong?"

"It's different here."

Not in a hurry to answer, Situ Lin squinted his eyes and stood in front of a house at the entrance of the town. After a while, he stretched out his hand to push the door with a solemn expression, but seeing that it was locked tightly without leaving a gap, he became even more worried.

Then, when he looked up, he suddenly saw something, and waved to the two young men behind him; "Zihan Baixiao, come and take a look, this is the grocery store of Miss Zhao's house that you mentioned earlier?"

grocery store?

Hearing the sound, Yun Zhuo's heart stopped, and he hurriedly followed the man's gaze to look up, but saw an old wooden plaque engraved with "North and South Grocery" quietly hanging on it under the eaves made of blue tiles .

"Brother?"

Although she didn't know why, Situ Ling who was behind them still stepped forward as she said, took a closer look, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, this is the shop opened by Miss Zhao and her parents."

Bai Xiao also hurriedly said: "Yes, Situ Zihan and I fought at the door of this store. Why, is there something unusual here?"

Situ Lin said: "I just used my ghost pupils to find out a little bit, and found that there is a hidden resentment in the whole town, but it is not very strong, but relatively speaking, only this house has the strangest smell, it seems that there are people gathered in it. Many people."

After a pause, he said again: "It's not too late, let's break open the door and have a look."

After saying that, he tentatively raised his foot and kicked towards the shop door.Unexpectedly, I don't know whether it was due to insufficient strength or the door was locked too tightly. After a crack, although the old wood creaked and broke a few cracks, it was still closed as before, as if it was blocked by some heavy object.

"Can't open it? What's going on here."

Hearing the cause and effect and seeing that the door was not open, Yun Zhuo's heart sank even more: "Even if the people in this room sleep in the middle of the night and are afraid of thieves thinking about it, they shouldn't block the door like this."

"Hey, who cares what's going on! Go in and find out!"

Duan Zhaoying, who was walking at the end, couldn't hold back two steps forward, and pulled out Lan Shuang: "How can you open this door with a gentle manner like you?! Get out of the way for the Taoist."

After saying that, he raised his true energy and swung the long sword, a few cold sword lights caused the room to vibrate endlessly, and within a moment the two wooden doors and the wardrobe blocked behind were cracked to the ground.

But after the debris flew and fell in response, the situation in the dimly lit grocery store made everyone gasp.

——In that small shop, there were nearly ten dead bodies, including men and women, old and young.His skin was pale and bloodless, and the expression on his face was terrifyingly ferocious, as if he had been greatly frightened before he died.

"My God, my God?!"

Seeing this tragic scene, the five people were all stunned in astonishment. Bai Xiao, who was at the door, let out a scream, and shrank behind Yun Zhuo tremblingly.

However, perhaps Tiansheng Guitong had seen a lot of these things, after a moment of stalemate, it was Situ Lin who came to his senses first, and took two steps forward: "Don't panic."

After finishing speaking, he tentatively touched the corpse closest to the door with his foot, but saw that the pale corpse rolled mechanically twice, but his body was still stiff and unresponsive, so he breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and waved Everyone gathered around and looked at it: "Fortunately, there is not much resentment, and the corpse has already become a dead body, so it should not change into a dead body."

Hearing this, Yun Zhuo squatted down beside him, but saw that the corpse at the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a burly figure and thick beard and hair, his hands were bent forward, his eyes were about to split open, his eyeballs were clouded by death, and the tip of his tongue He had also been bitten open due to panic, and he obviously tried his best to resist the door before he died, but it was a pity that he failed at the last moment and could not escape death.

"And, wait a minute!"

Following the crowd slowly moving forward, the startled Bai Xiao just poked his head and saw the miserable scene again, immediately shrunk his neck in disbelief, rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Here, isn't this the boss Zhao from the grocery store! "

"It was him."

Situ Ling on the side also stagnated, and immediately asked suspiciously: "And brother, why is his complexion pale?"

……Pale?

The words were unintentional, but Yun Zhuo frowned. When he took a closer look, he saw that the color of the corpse was as white as a ghost. .

Frightened to death, blood sucked dry... These descriptions seem familiar.

He rubbed the center of his brows, turned his head and looked at Situ Lin, both of them looked solemn, but seeing that the other party also took two steps forward, lightly tapped the thin blade with his fingertips, and carefully slashed open the corpse's arm.

——Stiff muscles emerged from under the white skin, but there was no trace of blood, and not a single drop of blood flowed out.

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped even more, and Situ Lin frowned slightly as if predicting, turned his face to Yun Zhuo and whispered: "But I still remember Li Yuan'er."

Li Yuaner.

Yes, it was Li Yuan'er!

The memory of being in Wuming Village when I was young is unforgettable, not to mention talking about it with Daoist Duan again not long ago, Yun Zhuo recalled the strange and evil spirits he encountered when he was exorcising demons that year, and his breath suddenly stagnated.

The tragic death of the bride, the accidentally leaked demonic energy, the corpse that has been drained of blood, the half-human, half-ghost crazy witch, the almost crazy way of renewing life...

The same loss of blood, the same unreasonable death, and even now the place has not changed.

Thinking about the cause and effect, he seemed to have vaguely grasped a trace of the cause and effect of the tragedy in the town. He couldn't help but look back at Situ Lin, clenched his fists and frowned and said, "You mean, this ghost king Mo Yao is just like that Li Yuan'er. A half-human, half-ghost monster that needs to be fed by raw blood... so it will spare no effort to slaughter this town, just to suck the blood of these townspeople?"

Situ Lin nodded, and said, "That's right, and this ghost king is obviously more difficult than the original Li Yuan'er."

Yun Zhuo raised his eyes: "...Is it because Li Yuan'er killed six people while Mo Yao killed a town?"

"more than."

Situ Lin added: "Furthermore, it took half a year before and after Li Yuan'er killed people to get blood, but this Mo Yao could kill Wangquan Town overnight. I think these people died in order, but no one can hide from them." After this calamity, I really lost my conscience."

"You said there is a priority?"

Yun Zhuo suddenly realized: "So the ghost king should start killing from the entrance of the town, so the refugees who found out later gathered in the grocery store in the north farthest from the entrance of the town? He also tried his best to block that door ?”

Situ Lin nodded: "It's a pity that the ghost king needs the blood of a town to support him, so he must have a plan, let alone an ordinary person. I think these people couldn't escape in the end, even if a door is locked They were brutally murdered. If you don’t believe me, go in and see if the other corpses are as bloodless as this.”

"Look at what!"

Duan Zhaoying scratched her head in annoyance, her chest heaved and heaved with anger, she shook her hands and went out: "This, what kind of ghost king and demon king is this, he is so sinful! It's inhumane! Hey!"

As the footsteps gradually faded away, Bai Xiao and Situ Ling didn't know whether they were frightened or stunned and remained silent.After pondering for a moment, I didn't know what to whisper, each patted the dust on the hem of their clothes, and went into the inner room together with their heads down.

It's only been seven years, and even though it was considered a temporary cessation of the evil spirits back then, this place still has not escaped the catastrophe.Yun Zhuo sighed, and went into a side room with Situ Lin to check, but saw the corpses of an old woman and a young woman huddled in the room, both of which were completely devoid of blood as Situ Lin said.

"Ugh."

Seeing the tragedy ahead, the two couldn't help but shook their heads.

No matter how vicious Li Yuan'er was back then, she only killed less than ten people, but this ghost king slaughtered an entire town overnight, so ruthless.

So could it be that in just a few years, the ghostly aura of Guilitan from the evil sect leaked out again, and only then did they attract such insane monsters?

"woo woo woo woo!"

Unexpectedly, there was another mournful cry from the bedroom in the back room, the voice was soft but pitiful, as if it came from Bai Xiao's mouth: "Miss Zhao!"

Just now, I was just looking at those horrific corpses, and when I heard the name, I remembered that the three of them came here to find the girl in the town. Yun Zhuo had always taken care of the child, but now his mind was a little stagnant, and he hurriedly approached Situ Lin. The bedroom where the accident happened ran.

When he arrived at the door, he saw Situ Ling half-kneeling on the ground in silence, biting his lips tightly, his eyes dim, as if he was trying to suppress the sadness that was about to burst out.Not far away, Bai Xiao sat cross-legged on a stone bed, holding a dead body in his arms. His body was stiff, and his pale face showed a slight surprise. He probably just woke up from sleep and was killed. It should be a rejoicing or a sigh.

"Miss Zhao, oh, wake up, I won't, I won't flirt with you anymore, and I won't fight with Situ Ling to scare you anymore..."

The young man was always emotionally straightforward, but now he was crying even more, his eyes were red.Twitching for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand to wipe the girl's unclosed eyelids, out of breath, said: "Wuuuu, look, we have come to apologize to you, you, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu die."

The girl's body swayed slightly with Bai Xiao's movements, but unfortunately there were still some mechanical stiff tremors, and she was unable to respond at all.

After watching for a long while, Situ Ling's face that was as frosty as ice for thousands of years finally did not tense up, and a bit of sadness crept into her eyebrows, and a few tears fell down: "Miss Zhao, I'm sorry, we're late...but you Don't worry, I, Bai Xiao and I, will definitely avenge you."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head reluctantly, as if trying to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes.However, when he inadvertently glanced at the beams of the bedroom, his pupils shrank suddenly, and most of the sadness on his face dissipated. He immediately grabbed Bai Xiao's ankle and dragged him off the bed: "Be careful!"

But it was too late and then too soon, before Yun Zhuo and the others realized what had happened, and before the inexplicable Bai Xiao rolled to the ground, an unknown mass of scarlet feathers suddenly flew down from the beam ——It has a small head with a sharp beak, and its wings are spread wide. It seems to be a bird.

And it was a bird, but it was not like a normal bird at all, not to mention the weird coat color, and it was full of evil spirits.At this moment, he spread his wings and went straight down, only to hear a "bang", and a big hole was punched out on the bed where Bai Xiao was originally sitting.

This blow was extremely powerful, but seeing that Bai Xiao wasn't hurt, the bird let out a long hiss as if he didn't feel any pain. Immediately, he jumped out of the big hole with his wings trembling, as if he was about to attack again.

"Get out of the way!"

Immediately, Situ Ling yelled again, that young man had drawn out the long bow behind his back at some time, the sound of the string pierced the air, and the feathered arrow shot straight out.

This bow was left by Ye Xuanju, the mother of the two brothers. It is made of cold wood and embellished with fetal jade.But seeing a flash of white light, a feathered arrow instantly shot through the bird's body, nailing it to the wall behind the bed, unable to move anymore.

"cracking--"

The sound of skin being torn apart was clearly audible, but the bird that was shot through the vitals still opened its sharp beak like a blade, fluttered its feathered wings without pain, glared at it with murderous eyes, and was still in shock. Bai Xiao.

The shock was over, and there was a mess under the bed. Situ Ling, who was sitting slumped on the ground, hung tremblingly on the ground with one hand, and held the longbow firmly with the other, as if she was in lingering fear.And Bai Xiao, who "escaped from the dead" next to him, had already shrunk into a ball, staring at the bird that had completely lost his mind, and said in a daze: "Wait a minute! Isn't this the parrot raised by Ms. Zhao? How did it become like this?" look."

"Yeah, what's going on?"

Seeing the dark evil spirit that seemed to surround the bird's whole body, Yun Zhuo also felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly looked at Situ Lin: "Could it be that when the ghost king arrives, not only people in the town... All dead, even the animals have changed?"

After hearing the words, Situ Lin didn't rush to respond, if he walked around the two young men who were still in fear, he walked forward in silence, scrutinized the bird with a pair of dark red eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's because of the excessive evil spirit and alienation. "

After a pause, he shook his head and explained: "So many people died overnight in this small town, there must be great resentment. That's why many animals in the town have mutated because of this, and they have become ferocious beasts that only attack people. "

"Brother Situ is right! I was almost attacked by these beasts when I was investigating in the backyard just now!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and Duan Zhaoying walked in holding Lanshuang in one hand and a rooster whose neck had just been cut off in the other, then raised her hand and threw the dead rooster away. In front of them, said: "Look what this is!"

Everyone heard the sound and looked closely, but saw that the chicken that was thrown on the ground was also full of scarlet feathers, its eyes were wide open, and its body was surrounded by evil spirits, it was really frightening.

But Bai Xiao, who poked out half of his head from behind Situ Ling tremblingly when he heard the movement, only took a look, and then cried out with a changed expression: "God! This, this is the crowing chicken in the town."

"Striking chicken?"

Hearing this, Yun Zhuo looked even more solemn: "So, that parrot was not the only thing that was alienated just now. It seems that nine out of ten animals in this town have something to do. Is it heavy..."

"wrong."

Situ Lin, who hadn't said a word for a long time, leaned against the window and shook his head, wondering: "Since the resentment in this town was so severe that even animals could change, why didn't I feel it at all when I entered the town. And the resentment came from As for the corpses of those who died in vain, why did the animals mutate before even the corpses of the closest people mutated?"

"That's not necessarily true, is it?"

Yun Zhuo said without hesitation: "What we know now is that the corpses in this room have not changed. It is unknown if the corpses in other places have other conditions."

After finishing speaking, he silently helped up Bai Xiao whose legs were a little limp from fright, and motioned to the man: "Brother Situ, in my opinion, rather than staying in the same room with these corpses that may mutate at any time, you might as well first Go and see what's going on elsewhere before making a decision!"

Situ Lin nodded: "That's exactly what I mean, but remember to be careful."

Now, a group of people exited the grocery store full of dead bodies one by one lightly, and then followed the town's trail to check all the way to the end of the town.As a result, as Situ Lin deduced, there were fewer corpses left in the direction of the Wuming Mountain. Although the doors and windows of each house were closed, the corpses in the room were still drained of blood and lay pale on the ground, which was very horrifying to watch.

What's even more strange is that they encountered many mutated animals along the way, ranging from insects to cattle and sheep, all of which looked like they would attack anyone they saw, but those houses should have been mutated long ago. The corpses of the townspeople were quieter than the last, and they couldn't even feel the slightest resentment of their unjust death.

——The whole town was massacred overnight, and dozens of people died in vain, so there must be a lot of resentment.But except for a few alienated animals in this town, the rest of the grievances have disappeared completely. How is it possible? !Could this resentment disappear out of thin air?

When the investigation came to an end, when the five of them squeezed into an empty hut to rest for a while, Yun Zhuo became even more suspicious, but a trace of unforeseen feelings gradually loomed in his heart-the strangeness of the town and the various reasons behind it, I am afraid that it will Far beyond his expectations.

"Young Master Rong."

Unexpectedly, when he was in a trance, Bai Xiao beside him also changed his expression slightly. He patted him on the shoulder a few times, and made a gesture of silence with his other hand, pointing out the window tremblingly: "Shhh."

what happened?

The young man looked nervous, Yun Zhuo hurriedly held his breath and listened carefully.But besides the movements and murmurs among the five people in the room, there was a strange sound in the original deathly silence.

Tom - Tom - Tom -

It was a sound different from that of the mutated animal just now. It was more like the sound of a person's extremely steady footsteps, mixed with the hiss of metal sharp objects rubbing against the ground, echoing on the street, getting closer and closer to them.

At this moment, Situ Lin, who had been silent for a long time after entering the room, suddenly opened his eyes suddenly as if feeling something, and shook his head in disbelief: "This is? How could it be..."

Yun Zhuo slapped him suspiciously on the shoulder, with unabated doubts on his face: "Brother Situ?"

Situ Lin lowered his voice and said to him: "The person who came towards us has a lot of resentment...and the resentment on him seems to be left by the townspeople in this town!"
