Spirit Demon Master

Chapter 16 The Inescapable Vicious Circle

Hearing that Du Yu nodded thoughtfully, but he was thinking about the priest, so he asked, "Why don't we go to the priest first?"

Xie Yun: "Of course the pastor is looking for it, but do you know where that church is?"

Du Yu shook his head, and Xie Yun continued, "Let's go to the village chief's house first, maybe we can learn something."

Wang Jinjue also interjected: "But Brother Xie, people in this village are obviously avoiding us, so we just went to the village chief, will he tell us? And do you know where the village chief's house is?"

Xie Yun: "Just find the most luxurious house in this village. As for whether you are willing to say..." Xie Yun shook his clenched fist in front of the two of them, "Let him decide for himself." It was a bit ruthless, and even Du Yu had to re-examine Xie Yun.

But soon Du Yu discovered that Xie Yun said these words deliberately loudly, and the people in the surrounding rooms could hear them clearly. Hearing the door opening, it was obvious that he had gone to inform the village chief.

Xie Yun was also straightforward, and took out a thousand paper crane made of talisman paper from the universe bag. As soon as the thousand paper crane left Xie Yun's hand, it shook its wings and flew up.

Du Yu hadn't figured out how the thousand paper cranes on the stack of talismans could fly, so he heard Xie Yun beside him say, "Follow me." He hurriedly trotted a few steps behind the thousand paper cranes.

When Du Yu and the others came to the northeast corner of the village, they saw the paper crane stopped by the roadside. Xie Yun went forward to put the paper crane in his bag and knocked on the door.

Taking advantage of this time, Du Yu looked at the gate in front of him. This gate was indeed more majestic than the one he saw in the village just now. It was painted with vermilion lacquer. Because of the rainy season, the gate was damp , there are strings of water drops hanging on the top, and the water drops on the vermilion lacquer seem to be dyed vermilion.

Du Yu couldn't help but reached out and touched the water drops on the door. The original white fingers seemed to be dyed red, but after a closer look, they were still transparent white. The previous red seemed to be just an illusion.

After waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door. Wang Jinjue was the most impatient. If Xie Yun hadn't been watching, he might have broken in by now.

Just when the three of them were waiting impatiently, the door opened, and it was an old man who opened the door. He saw three young people who had never seen him outside, and wanted to close the door.Xie Yun inserted his arm into the crack of the door. Of course the old man was not Xie Yun's opponent. Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man stopped thinking about closing the door and asked instead: "Who are you looking for?"

Xie Yun didn't talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point, "This is the village chief's house, right?"

The old man waved his hands again and again, "The village chief is not here, not here."

Wang Jinjue had been waiting outside the door for a long time, but Xie Yun couldn't hold back his temper, and pushed open the door straightforwardly, "Brother Xie, what are you talking about with him? There is still time to spend time with him."

Xie Yun nodded and entered the room.Du Yu was the last one to enter the house, and the old man timidly hid at the door, looking at them with a pale face, his eyes full of horror. "You, you will be punished." After saying this, the old man ran out without paying attention to their expressions.

Only Du Yu and the other three stood in the middle of the courtyard. The village chief's house was very big, and there were several rooms on the side of the big courtyard. When the old man ran away, the whole house became quiet, as if no one lived there.

Xie Yun took the lead to check each room. Every time he entered a room, Du Yu's heart felt cold. The furnishings in the room were very simple, but there were traces of hastily cleaned up by the owner. The chairs are covered with a thick layer of dust, and there is a washbasin on the floor that I accidentally tripped and didn't put in time.

Wang Jinjue: "Brother Xie, it seems that this family has already left, what should we do now?"

Xie Yun drove into the last side room. This side room had obviously been tidied up, and there were still some clothes of the old man. It could be seen that the old man who opened the door first lived in this room.Xie Yun walked around the room before saying, "I'll be here today for the rest of the night."

Du Yu didn't have any objections. He was away from home, let alone in this kind of place. Being able to share a room with Xie Yun obviously improved his chances of survival a lot.Wang Jinjue refused, "Brother Xie, this place is too small, and there is only one bed, and the old man slept there, how can we live here?"

Xie Yun: "If you think you can't live in it, go to the side by yourself, clean up the house and move in."

Wang Jinjue seemed to recall the thick layer of dust that he saw just now. He might not be able to clean it up even after dark. He will move in after he gets tired. If he doesn’t live here tomorrow, wouldn’t his work be in vain? .Thinking of this, Wang Jinjue didn't object anymore.

During the rainy season in the south, once it rains, it will never stop. Du Yu and the three of them simply cleaned up the house, and it was already raining heavily outside.

Fortunately, Du Yu went to the kitchen just now to have a look. There are rice and noodles in the kitchen, and there is a basket of freshly cut celery next to it. At least there is dinner.

The old man who was scared away by the three of Du Yu was probably the gatekeeper of the village chief's house, so he didn't seem to dare to live here today.Du Yu quickly kneaded the flour, planning to make some noodles later.

Rainy nights also get dark very early, but at the beginning of 5 o'clock, the sky darkened faintly, and it was completely dark at 6 o'clock. There is not a single street lamp in this village, and the outside is completely dark. If anyone sees it, It is said that this is a dead city, and some people believe it.

After washing the dishes, Wang Jinjue returned to the house from the kitchen in the rain. He rubbed his hands back and forth on his arms involuntarily, and his teeth were still chattering when he spoke, "Why is it so cold all of a sudden? Didn’t the weather forecast say that the lowest temperature is 28 degrees today? I don’t think it’s 28 degrees, it’s about 18 degrees.”

Du Yu took out the lighter and lit the kerosene lamp on the table, "If you're cold, why don't you lie down on the bed first?"

Wang Jinjue waved his hand under the dim light, "No, the old man's quilt has never been exposed to the sun."

Xie Yun sneered: "Oh, really? Don't drill in when it gets cold."

Wang Jinjue stopped and rubbed his hands back and forth, "Brother Xie, what do you mean?"

Xie Yun glanced at Du Yu, who was also dazed, took out a coat from his Qiankun bag, and handed it to Du Yu, "It's very cloudy here, put it on first, or you won't be able to carry it later."

Du Yu reached out to take the coat, nodded obediently, and put it on slowly. As soon as Du Yu received the coat, he knew it must belong to Xie Yun. On Du Yu's body, Du Yu's figure was set off even more petite.Fortunately, there is no electricity here, only the faint light of the kerosene lamp, Xie Yun did not see Du Yu's flushed face.

Wang Jinjue yelled from the side: "Brother Xie, what about me, you can also lend me a coat to wear."

Xie Yun: "Your skin is so thick, why do you need a coat?"

Du Yu couldn't help laughing, shrank his toes, looked at Xie Yun's calm face in front of him, lowered his head and thought dejectedly, Brother Yun only cares about him in general, don't think too much, or you will feel even more uncomfortable at that time.

Wang Jinjue didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Xie Yun, so he sat down on a chair, put his head on the table, looked at the kerosene lamp in front of him and muttered: "What the hell is this place, there is no electricity, wouldn't it be cold to death in winter?" .”

Xie Yun ignored Wang Jinjue, and walked to the window alone. There was a window in the side room facing the alley outside, and if there was any trouble, he would know immediately.Xie Yun stood there watching for a while. Du Yu put on his coat and moved over. A hunchbacked figure appeared.

It was an old lady with a hunchback. She carefully took down the red lantern at the door, lit it on fire, and hung it back on the door. After lighting two lanterns like this, the old lady The wife went back to the house, and soon the whole alley was lit with red lanterns. The lanterns swayed slightly in the night wind, casting mottled shadows on the bluestone road.

Wang Jinjue also came over at some point. Seeing this scene, he quietly said: "Why do I see that the lamp is more terrifying than not lit?"

Indeed, under the light of the red flickering candlelight, the whole village was gloomy and infiltrating.

Xie Yun said lightly: "Do you smell anything?"

Du Yu and Wang Jinjue couldn't help but move their noses when they heard the words. Du Yu had been in the kitchen for a long time, and he only felt that the smell in the air was a bit like the smell when he was cooking lard.

Wang Jinjue: "It's the smell of sebum."

Xie Yun nodded, "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, the burning candles in the hanging lanterns outside are made of sebum, but I don't know whose sebum is used."

Du Yu swallowed silently, and withdrew from the window.

Wang Jinjue was still scratching at the window. From his direction, he could just see two lanterns hanging at the door of the village chief's house, but they were not lit.Wang Jinjue raised his chin in the direction of the lantern, "Brother Xie, is our lantern important?"

Xie Yun also left the window, walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and said, "No, let's stay here to see if the monster will come if we don't. Besides, Jin Jue , do you dare to order?"

Xie Yun teased Wang Jinjue, Wang Jinjue was scared, he really didn't dare, who knows if the sebum is what he thinks.Wang Jinjue touched his cold arm, and also came down from the window.
