Obsessive hunting Ⅰ

Fuxian Lake has a nice name, but in fact, it is just a dead lake exuding thick black air. The surface of the lake is turbid, with intertwined aquatic plants floating, the trees on the shore are all withered, and the bony branches are twisted into hideous shapes. , Looking from a distance, it makes people shudder.

Black and White Wuchang said that this Fuxian Lake is equivalent to the Tibetan Corpse Lake in Fuxian Town. Whenever the Gu masters in the town fail to refine Gu, they will throw the corpses of outsiders who have died tragically into the lake and let them sink to the bottom of the lake slowly. Rotting, leaving no trace.

Walking east along the edge of the lake, within seven miles, I came to Fuxian Town. As soon as Li Yunsheng stepped on this land, he felt a chill down his back—not because of the heavy yin, but because of coming. The townspeople who came and went looked at themselves as if they were sizing up their prey.

"These people are not good at anything, and..." He lit a cigarette for himself, half-closed his eyes and smiled in the diffuse smoke, "It seems that what the seventh master and the eighth master said is really good , most of the Gu Masters in Fuxian Town are women, in comparison, those men seem to be much kinder."

While talking, he suddenly saw a young woman about 20 years old by the side of the road, scooping up a ladle of water and pouring it towards him with a sneer, obviously intending to extinguish the smoke in his hand, Li Yunsheng's eyes froze, but unexpectedly, Qi Mo reacted faster , dodged to block him almost at the same moment, so the ladle of water was splashed on Qi Mo's body, soaking a large area of ​​his clothes.

Li Yunsheng took the last puff of cigarette, and flicked the cigarette butt that was still glowing with a little force with his slender fingers, and hit the woman's eyebrows impartially, causing her to cry out in surprise, and turned her almond eyes to stare at him .

He walked away without looking back, and after walking for a while, he smiled and muttered: "Hey, am I being too ostentatious like this? I'm going to provoke you when I first enter the town."

Qi Mo replied calmly: "If she dares to splash you with incense ash water, she should be mentally prepared. You are being polite to her like that."

"It's actually incense ash water?"

"Correct."

The so-called incense ash water is a special water used by warlocks and the like to intoxicate the soul. It is very unlucky in the eyes of ordinary people. Since the woman poured incense ash water, one can imagine her evil intentions.

Xuese snorted softly: "Because she didn't do anything too outrageous, let's spare her life for the time being. The most urgent thing is to find a place to live, otherwise we won't have a place to stay at night."

Li Yunsheng grabbed a male townsman who was passing by, and asked politely under the cautious gaze of the other party: "Excuse me, is there an inn that can be used for accommodation near here?"

"...There is no inn in Fuxian Town."

It made sense for him to think about it, after all, as soon as outsiders entered Fuxian Town, they were arrested to refine Gu, so why would they need to stay in an inn?

"Is there a place to stay?"

The man seemed worried about being seen by other female Gu masters, hurriedly pushed his hand away, lowered his head and pointed forward: "Go straight and turn into the entrance of the alley, the two-story stone building at the end is unoccupied, you can do whatever you want."

Li Yunsheng looked at his back in a hurry, thinking: "I guess there is something wrong with this two-story stone building."

Qi Mo smiled: "Which one of the places we have experienced has no problems?"

"It makes sense, so hurry up and take a look. I just happen to be sleepy too, so let's go to sleep first."

"Okay."

The three of them walked like a stroll in the courtyard, bathed in the murderous gazes from all directions, and arrived at the destination not long after.In the night, the small stone building exudes a slight chill under the moonlight, full of a sense of long history, quiet and mysterious.

The heavy wooden door was covered with dust, and it took Li Yunsheng a lot of effort to push it open. He took the fire talisman paper and lit the old oil lamp on the table. All the furnishings are not exquisite, but they are simple and tidy.

It is not difficult to guess that the original owner of the small building loved cleanliness and was not sloppy.

The stairs from the first floor to the second floor are also made of stone. Qi Mo climbed up the stairs with another oil lamp in his hand. He lowered his eyes and noticed that there were mottled black traces under his feet, winding and covering the entire stone staircase. It also feels weird to the touch, like dried slime left by some kind of creature.

Such marks appeared more and more densely on the ground of the second floor, extending to the wooden chair near the window—the wooden chair had a broken leg and fell askew on the ground. , there are clear marks of being scratched by nails.

Qi Mo called out in a deep voice, "Yun Sheng."

Li Yunsheng was about to go upstairs, when he heard his voice, he subconsciously quickened his pace: "What's wrong? What did you find?"

"I guess something happened on the second floor, but I can't verify it now."

"It's not completely impossible to verify." Li Yunsheng smiled, "If you want to know, just go back with me and find out."

Xue Se stood at the top of the stairs, yawning boredly: "Before then, aren't you going to catch up on sleep first? The bed downstairs is quite big enough for the two of you to lie on."

The two looked at each other, and Qi Mo said warmly, "That's fine."

However, it turns out that if they can really sleep peacefully, it will be contrary to their identity as obsessed hunters.

Not long after Li Yunsheng lay down, he was half asleep and half awake when he heard a loud "bang" sound from the window. He sat up vigilantly for a moment, but the next moment, he felt Qi Mo's hand gently covering the top of his head.

"Scared?"

"……No."

Xue Se sat cross-legged on the table, listening with a puzzled expression, and said, "There seems to be something scratching on the second floor."

Not only that, but the "hissing" sound of an unknown creature, the heavy panting of a young man, and... the giggling laughter of several women came from the second floor.

"What a big show." Li Yunsheng didn't sleep well, and his tone was very irritated, "Could this be deliberately making trouble for us?"

Xuese strolled around, and returned downstairs after a while, shaking her head casually: "There is nothing, it's just that the yin is heavier."

If the Yin Qi is heavier, it means that there are dead souls haunting this small building.

"I see, don't want to sleep tonight."

Qi Mo sat by the bed, with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Then don't sleep, let's go, let's do something serious."
