Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Tree shadows swayed and crows flew around.

The ghostly cries of whining pierced the ears, and then a few red lanterns were lit up in the distance, fluttering in the wind.

Just as Lu Min was feeling the novelty, Mr. Jin Shui said beside him: "Actually, the will-o'-the-wisps are blue. Anyone who has heard the storybook should know... Oops!"

He suddenly screamed, and the will-o'-the-wisps in the distance were frightened to a halt.

Mr. Jinshui was sweating profusely, clutching his right leg, the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak.

The ink carp used internal energy to stimulate the affected part of Mr. Jinshui's right leg just now, the effect was immediate, the congestion quickly disappeared, and he could walk on the ground immediately, but he might not be able to walk steadily.

——It's not because the injury is not healed, but because the sharp pain remains, which makes people feel that they dare not use force.

In Mr. Jin Shui's feeling, the pain was like a long needle piercing into the bone marrow and stirring it twice.

"I'm sorry, the road here is rough and difficult. If you leave it alone, the bumping of the carriage will aggravate your injury." Mo Li sent another wave of spiritual energy, this time to relieve the stiff muscles.

The meridian was stimulated, and the scholar instinctively flicked his right leg.

The ink carp had been prepared for a long time, and after avoiding it, he raised his hand steadily to support him.

On the other hand, Mr. Jin Shui was flustered, scratched his hands, and blurted out a panicked cry.

Only halfway through shouting, the foot has landed firmly on the ground. Apart from the faint pain, the ankle and the sole of the foot seem to have recovered.Mr. Jin Shui knew a little bit of medical skills, so he found it even more incredible. He didn't see the silver needle in Mo Li's hand at all, but his foot was indeed healed. Looking up, he saw Lu Min looking at him with a strange expression.

"You scared the ghosts away."

Just imagine that in this desolate wilderness, a person suddenly screamed, followed by a second sound that stopped abruptly, and there was no movement at all-a distance away, who knows what happened here?

Murdered?

Encountered a wolf?

The person pretending to be a ghost was frightened and did not dare to approach again.

Seeing those red lanterns suddenly go out, Lu Min sighed regretfully.

After sighing, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately said righteously: "Guo... Sure enough, there are bandits gathered here, and they dare to pretend to be gods and ghosts in front of Zhuhou Temple, it is really abominable!"

The second prince thought that Meng Qi must be very angry. The place where the old man was buried turned into a wilderness, and the ground was in such a mess that no one could bear it!Meng Qi had no expression on his face, and Lu Min became more flustered immediately, fearing that Meng Guoshi would explode.

Just as he was worried, someone bumped into him blindly.

Ha, this is just sleepy and someone handed a pillow!

Lu Min looked at the dark place full of hope, Mo Li didn't know what he was thinking, and thought that the second prince had been in the palace for a long time, and it was rare to see people pretending to be ghosts.

"..."

One can't help but worry about the Emperor Yongchen in the palace at the moment.

The ink carp woke up quickly, and was secretly surprised at the same time.

The former prince and the current Emperor Yongchen always seemed to have people involuntarily standing by his side, helping him think about problems, and worrying about his headaches.

This is not because of Lu Jie's own ability, but because of his bad situation.

The more you understand, the more you can't help but want to find a way out, just like a person who is good at chess sees an endgame.

"Bang, bang..."

Mo Li's thoughts were interrupted by a dull impact.

This movement sounded like a very heavy cloth bag hitting the ground non-stop, very regularly. At first it was just one cloth bag, and then there were several. The sounds came and went in a wonderful rhythm.

The heart seemed to be beating violently together.

Mr. Jin Shui was the first to feel uncomfortable. He opened his mouth wide, his face flushed, and he fell into an inexplicable panic.

Even though he suspected that someone was playing tricks in the dark, listening to the dull rhythmic voice and seeing the desolation around him, he couldn't help but panic, and even had the illusion that his heart was breaking.

"Interesting." Meng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.

This kind of rhythm, like the sound of a drum, can match the sound of the beating heart, and then it becomes more and more urgent, but it is within the range that people can bear. Although it is not fatal, it is not easy.

Mo Li and Meng Qi have internal strength and won't be affected, the other two don't have such good luck.

Mo Li even heard a few angry curses coming from the place where the red lanterns were originally floating. These people dressed in black and carrying lanterns pretending to be will-o'-the-wisps didn't seem to be in the same group as the cloth bags.

How can there be several groups of people pretending to be ghosts in a deserted Zhuhou Temple?

Mo Li was very puzzled, and after looking at Meng Qi, he found that Meng Guoshi didn't know what was going on.

"Boom!"

The sound of the cloth bag was louder, which indicated that they were getting closer.

Mr. Jin Shui was almost out of breath, and then his pupils shrank, and he pointed at the dark tree shadow tremblingly, only to see a tall and stiff figure jumped and jumped out.

Sure enough, he was wearing clothes like a sack, covering his head and face, so he couldn't see clearly.

The arms are stretched out straight, and the legs are also straight and do not bend when jumping up. Mr. Jin Shui's eyes are about to pop out, because this dress is very similar to the Xiangxi corpse in the storyteller's mouth.

When a person dies in a foreign land, relatives will pay for the exorcist to ring the bell to cast spells, and take advantage of the dark to drive in the wild, not entering the village or crossing the river.Paper money is scattered along the way, and the dead body will jump and walk, the body is stiff, stepping on the paper money cut out of yellow paper with every step.

Now there is no paper money on the ground, and I don't hear the bell of the corpse driver... Could it be a corpse scam?

Although I know that there are people pretending to be ghosts here, but such a, no, a group of cloth bags approaching slowly while maintaining an inhuman posture, still makes people feel scared.

When a normal person jumps forward continuously, it is impossible to maintain the stiffness of the limbs without bending.

Mr. Jinshui tried his best to keep calm, trying to identify whether the hands and feet of these "corpses" were tied with wooden sticks. It is said that exorcising corpses in Xiangxi is a scam, and the corpses are all fake. This method will be used to avoid being seen.

As a result, a gust of wind blew by, and the sackcloth he was covering fluttered, and he could clearly see his bare arms, with nothing tied inside.

Mr. Jin Shui yelled and wanted to run.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Li slapped his backhand, and Mr. Jinshui, whose heart was about to jump out of his chest, passed out.

Lu Min looked at the cloth bags jumping in front of him, and at Mr. Jinshui who was leaning against a tree supported by Mo Li, and waved his hands frantically: "No, the doctor is merciful, I won't run or scream , don't knock me out."

Ink Carp: "..."

Just acupuncture!What stun, didn't use such a heavy hand!

Mo Li was about to get rid of the group of bouncing cloth bags, but as soon as he raised his hand, Meng Qi held it down.

Doctor Mo's face was puzzled, if he didn't make a move at this time, should he wait for the cloth bag to jump in front of him?

- That's right, that's it.

With a mocking smile, Meng Qi looked at these "corpses" whose limbs were stiff and could only jump around like a monkey show.

The dull sound of thump, thump, thud, seemed to hit people's hearts, and Lu Min had to tightly cover his ears.

Closer, closer.

The walking corpses surrounded the carriage, and their outstretched arms almost poked Meng Qi.

Then the scene fell into an embarrassing dead silence.

The people surrounded by intimidation neither ran nor screamed, just stood there watching the walking corpse with great interest.

The walking corpses are also in a difficult situation. They have never encountered such a situation. Usually after scaring away pedestrians, they can loot pedestrians' belongings.

Stealing wealth is different from killing people. If people die frequently, the government will come to clean them up. How will everyone live?

After the dead silence lasted for a while, the walking corpse felt that this was not good, so he hurriedly jumped a few times in place to cover up.

The dull sound that was originally in line with the strange rhythm was broken, and the thud sound became chaotic.

Some of the walking corpses who realized something was wrong stopped, some tried to adjust, and the result became more ridiculous, and they returned to reality from the chilling spooky atmosphere, like a group of rabbits bouncing around.

"Hahaha!" Lu Min laughed unceremoniously.

This time he couldn't pretend at all, the man who looked like the leader of the walking corpse threw off his robe angrily, pulled out the knife hidden under his clothes, and threatened in a vicious voice, "Hand over all the money!"

Immediately afterwards, all the cloth bags had a big transformation, and all of them had short knives or iron rods in their hands.

It was terribly dark, and in order to pretend to be walking corpses, everyone was wearing an airtight black cloth robe, so their vision was very blurred. Now that Tu Qiong saw him, he suddenly found that the person opposite seemed a little unusual.

Meng Qi could bluff others with his face and aura.

Even people who have never seen anything in the world will instinctively feel that something is wrong and suspect that they have kicked an iron plate.

"Which way are you on?" The corpse leader had a strange face, prominent cheekbones, and the corners of his mouth were crooked when he spoke.

At this moment, he was energized, with a sinister aura all over his body, and opened his mouth like a set of Jianghu incisions, "What kind of incense are you burning, and which Buddha are you worshiping? Brothers are all out to eat, get some road money, and don't take human lives." .”

Mo Li was surprised by this man's sudden retreat, and followed the other's line of sight, it turned out that the carriage on his side had leaked.

The road ahead was filled with all kinds of gravel and mud pits.

Clear spots of mud can be seen on the legs of the two horses, and the shafts and wheels are completely free of mud, which is very strange, unless the carriage is flying over, and the wheels do not need to touch the ground at all.

Those who dare to pretend to be ghosts usually don't believe in ghosts themselves, so flying is impossible, and the only possibility left is to be carried over by someone.Those who pretend to be walking corpses can be said to be half Jianghu people. They have learned the evil skills of the corpse exorcisers in western Hunan, and use this to make money, but if they fight hard, they will shrink back.

The leader of the crooked mouth was very afraid that he would provoke a hard idea.

The kind of young heroes who come from a famous family, those who encounter robbery and beg for money, often kill them without saying anything.

The leader of the crooked mouth looked at Meng Qi, then at Mo Li, and felt that the two of them were young and good-looking, and they were probably the kind of young people from a martial arts family who had just shown their talents, so he softened his mouth.

"Boss, why are you being polite to them..."

"shut up!"

The leader of the crooked mouth stopped, he squeezed out a smile, and said to Meng Qi, "If you save face and send a little money, the brothers will help you. To be honest, there are not only people asking for money near Zhuhou Temple In our family, there are no powerful people, but there are quite a few immortals who release white doves. They often pretend to be lost business travelers or women, crying and crying to win sympathy and go with passers-by. When they arrive at a town dozens of miles away, they will swarm up and identify them as kidnapping women. , insisting on dragging them to meet the officials, forcing people to lose their money. Even though they are skilled in martial arts, they don't want to go a long way, so they have to deal with a few liars! Our brothers are in the Zhuhou Temple, and our prestige is very high. There are still some, and we will escort them and take care of those young people who dare not get close."

Meng Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "According to what you say, isn't this neighborhood a den of liars?"

The crooked leader froze for a moment, but was still reluctant to give up.

As more and more people suffer, people who often run business will no longer pass by here, only some strangers who don't know where they are from stray into this place, and poor scholars who don't have a penny.

There are so many sheep and widows, even if the leader with a crooked mouth occupies the best position, maybe he hasn't been able to eat for a long time.Today I heard that two horses and a cart came in, and everyone was overjoyed. Seeing that the ruts came from the pier, it was probably a pedantic scholar who wanted to visit Zhuhou Temple.

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, as long as you scare away two horses, you can still eat meat!

As a result, horse meat could not be counted on at all, and the leader with a crooked mouth was not reconciled, and showed his natural instinct to squeeze out a little oil from a stone, and used his three-inch tongue to persuade Meng Qi to give him money to buy the way.

The small calculations in the leader's heart are crackling, what is the trouble that those young heroes of the famous and decent families don't want to be involved in, isn't it lawsuits or people who collude with the government and the government to cheat?If you cause trouble for the master, can you still have good fruit to eat when you go back?

Seeing the person pretending to be a dead body begging for money in different ways, Lu Min was furious.

"What kind of liar? If you dare to come here, I will beat you up! I don't think it's troublesome, and I don't think it hurts!"

The leader with the crooked mouth was very surprised, the master didn't say a word, why did a coachman speak?

However, Meng Qi was not going to give them face either.

"Your evil method is from the Xiangxi exorcists." Meng Qi's face darkened, and he shouted: "Say, why are you pretending to be a ghost here to scare people?"

The crooked mouth leader took a step back with a vigilant expression.

Seeing that the situation was not good, one of his subordinates quietly retreated and wanted to run away.

"Ah!" The eyes of the fleeing man blurred and he fell to the ground screaming.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and they were shocked to find that the ink carp who was in the other direction just now blocked the way of a fleeing person at some point.

An impulsive guy grabbed the iron bar and rushed over, but a gust of wind caused him to turn stupidly for half a circle, and when he stopped, he found that he was back to the original position.

This strange phenomenon made them pale in shock.

Fortunately, this group of people were courageous and knowledgeable, so they didn't shamelessly shout about ghosts.

The leader of the crooked mouth belatedly realized that Meng Qi Moli's background might be different from what he thought. He desperately thought of a way to escape, but Meng Qi didn't give him a chance to come up with a lie, so he just grabbed his clothes and put his whole body on the ground. picked up.

The sound of infusion of inner strength appeared in the ears like thunder.

"Where is your lair? Where are you hiding during the day? Is it Zhuhou Temple?"
