The folk customs of Lushui Town are really tough, ever since Fang Shiyi brought the bearded man into the house, he has never heard him stop scolding.

Xiao Minghe had just been scolded for a long time, and he didn't understand a few words. When he heard the familiar pronunciation, the tips of his ears moved slightly.He always asked questions when he had any questions, which was quite different from his awkward temper, so he raised his hand and stopped: "What does that sentence mean?"

The bearded man took time out of his busy schedule, and said in a correct tone: "Fuck your mother!"

Xiao Minghe: "..."

Holding the sword and pestle beside him, Xiao Minghe gritted his teeth and reminded himself not to hurt others.The bearded man continued to point at Fang Shiyi and scold him for his wickedness, but the culprit stroked the broken fan and smiled, unmoved.

There are no leisurely and elegant landscapes on the fan, just a single word, which shows the essence-a "handsome" with strong ink and color.

When the bearded man was tired of cursing and his throat was thirsty, Fang Shiyi also looked around the small room, and thoughtfully poured him a glass of water: "Continue?"

The bearded man twitched angrily, and brushed his messy hair heavily.I don't know how long I haven't washed it, it's greasy.

Xiao Minghe backed away three feet, covering his mouth and nose.Everything in this room is covered with layers of black dirt accumulated over time, if Fang Shiyifei didn't drag him in, he wouldn't even want to go in.

"Who the hell are you guys?" The bearded man drank the water in one gulp, looking ferocious, "I tell you, this town cannibalizes people, so hurry up and leave at dawn!"

Fang Shiyi paused: "Cannibalism?"

"Tsk, I told you not to ask." The bearded man sat down on the chair.With a squeak, he barely sat down.

Xiao Minghe took out a face mask from somewhere and put it on, and said in a muffled voice, "What do you know?"

The bearded man was extremely impatient: "See, you guys know some supernatural powers, are you juniors from some cultivating sect to practice, right? Don't think that you can take care of any shit if you have three points of Taoism, that's how little brats are. Quite big."

"We can also ask other people." Fang Shiyi turned a deaf ear and tapped on the lame table in front of him, "You must not be the only one who knows about this town. Just now, my junior brother and I walked around the town and heard that this Is there any celestial master in the town?"

The bearded man's expression changed drastically, and his voice became stern: "Let you leave it alone!"

Fang Shiyi smiled and said, "Sorry, we'll take care of it."

Their eyes met, and the bearded man froze.The pupils of the young man in front of him were black, clear and deep, and seemed to be able to read people's hearts.He didn't know what to say for a moment, and turned away with a dark face.

Fang Shiyi observed him seriously for a moment, then suddenly said, "Are you a monk too?"

Before the bearded man could speak, Fang Shiyi said again: "The spiritual power is too weak, I almost didn't notice it."

"..." The bearded man was angry, "You are enough!"

Xiao Minghe's mood was terrible, he had already lost his patience: "Fang Shiyi, how long are you going to talk nonsense with him?"

The blurted name clicked like a key to unlock the lock.

The bearded man's eyes suddenly lit up, he jumped up, his body leaned forward suddenly, but his legs moved back hesitantly, he was a little embarrassed and excited, and his voice trembled when he spoke: "You, you are the one in the rumors. Fang Suiyi?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Suyi knew something was going to go wrong.Quietly glanced to the side, sure enough, Xiao Minghe sneered again and again, and said nothing more.

Fang Shiyi sighed secretly, and nodded calmly at him: "It's not from the rumors, this is Fang Shiyi."

Thanks to the titles of "Wen Xiuyue's Big Disciple" and "Fang Suyi in the Rumor", which were blown up by the Xiuxian tabloids, everything is easy to talk about.

The bearded man turned his face faster than the book, washed his hands enthusiastically, poured hot tea for the two, and licked his dry lips: "It's better to see once than to hear for a long time... Although I have only been in contact with the fur of cultivation, I have also heard about Fang Shaoxia. name."

Fang Shiyi saw Xiao Minghe's face getting more and more ugly, so he quickly stopped: "Strong man, let's talk about the business first."

The bearded man nodded, and sat back on the chair with a bang——with a bang sound, fortunately, the chair was strong and held on so it didn't fall apart.

"I..." The bearded man rubbed his hands, peeking at the popular figures on the Xiuxian tabloid, with a shy face, "Can I ask for an autograph first?"

"..." Fang Shiyi touched the sword at his waist, and said sincerely, "You can choose to speak out yourself, or I will beat you up before speaking out."

Xiao Minghe sneered again.

The bearded man could only sit down obediently, and continued to stare at Fang Shiyi with fiery eyes: "Fang Shaoxia may not know that small places like Lushui Town, which are located in a remote location and are not within the protection of the sect family, will go out together. Qian, invite a 'celestial master' to sit in charge."

Fang Shiyi nodded in understanding.

Talk is better than nothing.

Big Beard is the Celestial Master that Lushui Town once invited.

Xiao Minghe raised his thin eyebrows, his eyes full of sarcasm.

The bearded man was as thick-skinned as Fang Shiyi, pretending not to see it, and continued: "That Mu Tianshi...the so-called Mu Tianshi!" Seeing his hatred for the name, he gritted his teeth and beat it hard. Desk, said coldly, "Since he came to Lushui Town, nothing good has happened!"

Mu Tianshi came to Lushui Town half a year ago.

Since the arrival of Master Mu, strange things have happened frequently in Lushui Town.The bearded man is a three-legged cat, and he is really powerless, and his prestige is declining day by day.And every time things got out of hand, Tianshi Mu would descend from the sky, pinch his fingers in a fairy-like manner, solve the problem, and then float away.

The bearded man wanted to save his image and status, but he couldn't do anything. He watched the townspeople trust the shoehorn face of unknown origin more and more.

Until there is a problem with the cemetery outside the town where the dead children are buried.

Mu Tianshi told Fang Suiyi that seven parts were false and three parts were true.Lushui Town is indeed poor, and children often die young. The cemetery outside the town occupies a large area and is lifeless. On weekdays, the townspeople would not go there.

One night half a year ago, a few lieutenants Mojin suddenly came to the town. They went out of the town blindly, thinking it was some kind of old town, and dug out something with a shovel.

Seven or eight living people were sucked dry of flesh and blood, leaving only skin and bones.The child's bones were exposed to the sun, and they were dripping with blood.

Since then, strange things have happened frequently, and there are often mournful cries inside and outside the town at night.Not long after, people died in the town, and everyone was in danger and panicked.

The bearded man really couldn't figure it out, the townspeople felt that they had paid for a free meal, and since Tianshi Mu's prestige was getting higher and higher, they simply kicked him down and went to hire Tianshi Mu crying.

The bearded man was driven from the best residence in the town to this leaky broken house. He was extremely wronged. He felt that Mu Tianshi was a bit weird, so he secretly followed Mu Tianshi out of the town, hoping to see how he would solve the problem.

This trip was inevitable, he hid behind a tree and saw Mu Tianshi kneeling in front of a small blood-red coffin in the cemetery, listening respectfully.

The bearded man pinched his fingers and counted, isn't this the scene in the horror storybook, fearing that if he took a few steps forward, he would be killed if he heard something he shouldn't have heard, so he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

When Fang Shiyi heard this, he couldn't help applauding: "You are courageous and resourceful."

The bearded man showed a shy expression.

Xiao Minghe expressionless: "..."

Seeing that scene, the bearded man vaguely guessed that the frequent strange events in the town were related to Mu Tianshi, and sought out the mayor to explain the matter, but unfortunately, instead of being trusted, he was spit on by a bunch of people and chased him out.

Tianshi Mu really solved the strange thing smoothly, and when he came back to listen to the complaints from the townspeople, he waved his hand very generously: "Hehe, brother Zhang must have resentment against me, it's all my fault, everyone don't need to be angry with me."

The bearded man was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Minghe said coldly: "These foolish people are just like that, they don't know how to tell the truth from the fake."

"So your surname is Zhang." Fang Suyi's focus was on another aspect, "Zhang Zhuangshi, in that case, why didn't you leave Lushui Town?"

The bearded man swallowed his saliva, his face turned pale for a moment, his eyes filled with fear, and he involuntarily lowered his voice: "It's not that I don't want to leave...it's that I can't leave."

He couldn't help getting closer to Fang Shiyi, trembling slightly, "During the past six months, no matter day or night, as long as I wanted to leave, before I stepped out of the town, I felt something staring at me... It seems that as long as I go out Take a step, and you will die immediately. Once I packed up my things in the middle of the night and wanted to run, but just after a few steps outside, the feeling came up again. I boldly looked back and found... hundreds of people wearing white masks People, I don’t know when they quietly stood behind me, they all stared at me, as if they were looking at a dead person, I was so fucking oozing, I almost fainted from fright!”

Xiao Minghe's expression turned pale immediately, and he quietly moved to Fang Shiyi's side.Fang Shiyi was thoughtful, and turned his head to stare out the window: "No wonder I always feel that someone is staring at us... ah!"

The previous sentence had already scared people enough, but when the latter came out, the bearded man trembled and almost jumped into his arms.

Xiao Minghe almost collapsed, his whole body exploded: "Why are you yelling so loudly!"

Fang Shiyi pointed to the broken window of this humble house, and said solemnly, "Just now there was something staring at us outside the window."

The bearded man trembled: "..."

Xiao Minghe's body stiffened: "..."

The two became woodcarvings for a while, neither of them dared to look back.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Fang Shiyi smiled: "Don't be nervous, I lied to you."

Weird.

Xiao Minghe gouged him out, took a breath, took out a dozen talismans from the treasure bag, twisted his index and middle fingers together, recited a mantra in a low voice, and threw it away casually.The talisman was pasted on the wall, and there was a faint golden light on the four walls.

Although the bearded man only understands superficiality, he also understands that Xiao Minghe temporarily set up a talisman formation, and the evil spirits can't get close to this house for the time being.

He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off his cold sweat: "Fang Shaoxia, let's stop joking."

Fang picked up the relics but smiled and said nothing.

"...I found out that I couldn't leave the town, so I could only stay in fear." The bearded man rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and regained his composure, "Fortunately, that thing is not very interested in my life."

Although Lushui Town is small, people will still come.

Most of the people who cultivate immortals can travel around, subduing demons and eliminating demons.Within half a year, two casual cultivators came to Lushui Town, and the bearded man thought he had caught a savior, so he couldn't wait to tell them about it.Sanxiu waved his big hand, raised his sword and went up. He thought the situation could be solved, but unexpectedly, the body was found on the street the next day, in a miserable state of death and torn apart.

When the second rogue cultivator arrived, the bearded man told him about it again. The rogue cultivator went to find Master Mu, but he never appeared again.

The bearded man said and sighed: "That's why I urged you to leave quickly when I saw you, thinking that you hadn't been discovered by those crazy townspeople..."

Fang Shiyi caught the key word: "Crazy?"

"Yes, they are crazy." The bearded man rubbed his forehead, "The shoehorn does not know what kind of magic tricks to deceive people, and tricks the folks around. He said that the blood-red skeleton is the ghost of a dead child Fitting together, those children are unwilling to be broken by themselves, and want people in the town to die with them. To suppress the resentful spirits, they have to be locked in coffins, and rituals are held from time to time, but the symptoms are not cured. ..."

"What else do you need?"

"I have to, I have to find someone...to replace me."

Fang Shiyi's eyebrows twitched suddenly: "Replacement, what do you mean?"

The bearded man smiled wryly: "Fang Shaoxia is so smart, he can't fail to understand. That's right, he is acting as a scapegoat. The shoehorn said that everyone in the town owes his life to the child ghost. As long as an outsider dies for him, he can save his life."

This town is remote and small, almost like a village. From the street to the end of the street, there are not many people who are not relatives.

No one wants to die, so they will stick together, trick outsiders into the town, and die instead of themselves.

It's a good deal.

Fang Shiyi vaguely had a guess, and his face darkened: "If a scapegoat is found, will a sacrifice be held, with a group of people wearing masks and weeping around a small blood-red coffin?"

The bearded man nodded and licked his lips: "I wear a mask to prevent the ghost from recognizing me. You and this young hero should meet tonight. The person who was caught as a scapegoat this time was a child who wandered here ...I'm afraid he's dead."

Fang Shiyi suddenly got up: "Where is he?"

"It's in the temple where the sacrificial ceremony was held." The bearded man said awkwardly, "The child must have been completely cold."

Fang Shiyi didn't care about scolding, and pushed the door out without hesitation.

Xiao Minghe followed up in two or three steps, with an ugly expression on his face: "It's late."

Fang Shiyi pursed his lips, without saying a word, and flew towards the temple at high speed.

This town is small, and you can get there in three or two steps if the front heel touches the back heel.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, the sacrificial ceremony was destroyed, and the townspeople had already gone back to rest. Master Mu was nowhere to be found, and the coffin was also gone.The fire in the brazier in front of the temple was dimly lit, and incense candles were lit inside the temple. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the flickering candlelight seemed to radiate a slight blood color.The door is wide open, like a bloody mouth, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

Fang Shiyi grasped the hilt of his sword and looked at the small temple ahead that revealed an ominous atmosphere: "I will enter the temple, and you go and catch Tianshi Mu. If there is any danger, I will stop the evil spirit, and you go and protect the other people in the town. Inform Master Uncle to help."

Xiao Minghe frowned, with disgust on his face: "A group of stupid people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, why protect them!"

Fang Shiyi glanced at him calmly: "I am a senior brother, listen to me."

Having been classmates for more than ten years, Xiao Minghe has never stopped resentment over Fang Suyi's "Jiehu".

This is the first time he said such a thing.

Xiao Minghe was slightly taken aback, Fang Shiyi had already walked into the temple.

The moment you step into the small temple, the world is spinning.There is a universe inside the temple, which is much bigger than it looks from the outside.In front of it is an altar of joss sticks, incense sticks and paper money, and a memorial tablet with only a bloody handprint on it.

Apart from the altar, there are only... coffins in this temple.

Dozens of coffins, as if painted with blood, exuded a slight bloody smell, lying quietly around.

Fang Shiyi guessed who was inside, stepped forward silently, and picked them away one by one with the tip of his sword.

They were really long dead people.

Both men, women and children, their faces were black and blue, their expressions were distorted, and their eyes were staring straight up, or turned white.Fang Shiyi took two steps, and found that those people had turned sideways silently, staring at him quietly, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "The injustice has the leader, the debt has the owner, I didn't harm you, don't you!" Look at me like this."

He wasn't short-sighted, of course he panicked.

Slowly turning to the last coffin, Fang Shiyi took a deep breath, carefully picked out the coffin nails, and opened the coffin lid.

The candlelight danced, plunging into the long and narrow blood.

Inside lay a half-grown child quietly.

Compared with those who died uniformly and miserablely before, this child is much more decent.

He clasped his hands obediently on his stomach, with a peaceful expression, sickly pale cheeks, and bloodless lips, but he couldn't conceal the delicate features, as beautiful as a mountain elf.Under the black messy forehead, there is a faint blood-red flame mark, which seems to be dancing with the candlelight.

Fang Suiyi couldn't help but have a meal.

This is... the child the bearded man was talking about?

What a pity for such a beautiful child.

Fang Shiyi has a natural liking for beautiful things, looking at the child's young and tender face, his suppressed mood still fluctuates, he exhales slowly, and prepares to take the child out.

Unexpectedly, the moment he leaned over, the bright knife light suddenly flashed and struck quickly!
