Strange Records of Xijing

Shen Hongying killed the Taoist priest, no longer cared about the guards, but turned around and opened the door.However, her hand just touched this seemingly ordinary door, and she immediately let out a howl, and stepped back again and again.

The ghost baby in the room sensed the puppet's pain, and let out a shrill cry, which resounded throughout the courtyard, causing everyone to cover their ears with their hands.

Su Yan, who had been hiding outside the courtyard, also felt a headache when he heard the crying of the ghost baby.Just when he was about to show up to stop him, there was a rush of footsteps from behind him.

Su Yan hurriedly hid again, only to see a middle-aged Taoist priest hurried past him, maybe he was focused on the baby ghost, and didn't notice Su Yan who was so close.

This person is the Golden Taoist. He has unique skills, and he was hired by Zhu Zhiwen with a lot of money, so he came to sit in Zhu Guogong's mansion, and tried to catch those monsters for Zhu Zhiwen, so that Zhu Zhiwen and the other three could feast on them.

Those little demons were just playing tricks. Although Zhu Zhiwen felt a little regretful after they were lost, at the same time the Golden Taoist caught the baby ghost, Zhu Zhiwen let it go after sighing a few words.

The Golden Taoist knows the truth that wood is better than forest, so he dare not make too much publicity.He was originally afraid that Zhu Zhiwen would let him catch some little demons again, and he was worried that he would expose his whereabouts, but he didn't expect Zhu Zhiwen to get a ghost baby, so he left all these behind, and the Golden Taoist became more and more fond of this ghost baby.

Now that the ghost baby suddenly let out such a shrill scream, but his apprentice did not deliver the letter for a long time, it must have been an accident in this courtyard, so he got up in a hurry and came in a hurry.

Entering the courtyard, I found that the courtyard was full of green smoke—without the restraint of the young Taoist priest, the ghost baby would be out of control—the golden Taoist dared not be careless, he held a mahogany sword in one hand, and knotted the other hand on his chest. Seal, chanted a few incantations aloud, and set up a formation around his body.

Shen Hongying, no, or it should be said that the ghost baby in the room found the Golden Taoist coming, as the so-called enemy met, he was extremely jealous, Shen Hongying roared, and a pair of sharp claws flew towards the Golden Taoist!

The Golden Taoist stared wide-eyed, and let out a loud reprimand. Shen Hongying seemed to hit an invisible wall, and was ejected before she got close to the Golden Taoist.

The force of this bullet was not small, Shen Hongying rolled on the ground several times in a row, and did not stop until her back hit a rock, her face was bruised and her nose was swollen, and her body must also be bruised and purple.

The Golden Taoist cast a disdainful glance at Shen Hongying, who was lying aside, and was about to walk towards the room where the ghost baby was, but unexpectedly, Shen Hongying got up suddenly and rushed towards the Golden Taoist again!

"Overestimate your own strength!" The Golden Taoist didn't take Shen Hongying seriously at all. He threw the mahogany sword forward in his hand and hit Shen Hongying hard in the heart, but unexpectedly he felt something splashed on his face. There were bursts of burning pain, and when I reached out to touch it, the palm of my hand was also very painful.

Shen Hongying had already pushed away at this time, and the liquid on her face seeped into her eyes along the corners of her eyes, and the Golden Taoist felt that her eyes were about to burn.

"Puppet's blood?" Golden Taoist desperately wiped it with his sleeve, and said with difficulty, "Impossible, it's just a baby ghost, how could his puppet be so powerful!"

Shen Hongying let out a piercing laugh from the side, and suddenly pushed forward with both hands, aiming at the Golden Taoist's chest and grabbing it!

Even though his eyes were blinded, the Golden Taoist still had keen hearing. He felt a sudden gust of wind and the sound of breaking through the air in front of him, and immediately stepped on the ground with one foot, taking advantage of the momentum to retreat.

"Evil!" The Golden Taoist who escaped Shen Hongying's fatal blow became furious and cursed.

Golden Taoist no longer wiped the dark red blood on his face, but stuck his left index finger into his mouth, and then wiped each eyelid on both sides.

Shen Hongying seemed to be aware of the danger of the Golden Taoist's move, and did not dare to attack rashly. Instead, she stepped aside, hid behind a rockery, and closely observed the Golden Taoist's next move.

The Golden Taoist prides himself on being unparalleled in Taoism and law, and often laments that the way he cultivates runs counter to the so-called right way in the world, so he is not tolerated in the world, and he cannot be compared with the national teacher Zhou Yuyi and others.Now that he was so embarrassed by a mere puppet of a ghost baby, he lost his composure completely in his heart, and forgot about the task that Zhu Zhiwen had entrusted to him. He was bound to catch this puppet and smash it to pieces A corpse in ten thousand pieces.

This gave Su Yan a chance.

Although the Golden Taoist intends to kill Shen Hongying, Guiying is not an upright person. He has been immersed in the underworld for many years and has many tricks. On this day, and in the courtyard with jagged rockery and lush trees, he hid in Tibet and played hide-and-seek with the Golden Taoist.

Su Yan saw the right moment, and when the Golden Taoist was attracted to a distance by Shen Hongying, he stepped down a bit, and under the cover of green smoke, pushed open the window and jumped into the room through the window.

Perhaps in order not to be used by the ghost baby, there is nothing else in the house except for a small sarcophagus in the middle.There are four iron chains at the four corners of the sarcophagus, and the other ends of the iron chains are respectively tied to the four pillars in the house.

These four iron chains kept shaking and made fierce clanging sounds. It was obvious that the ghost baby sealed in the sarcophagus was desperately trying to escape.

Su Yan didn't dare to stay for a long time, he walked around the sarcophagus, the ghost baby in the sarcophagus probably sensed Su Yan's arrival, and struggled harder.

Su Yan saw that the sarcophagus was covered with talisman papers and ink lines were tapped, so he knew that he would not be able to break free from the imprisonment imposed by the Golden Taoist.But this was not difficult for him, he untied from his waist the Qiankun bag that his master had given him, and then pulled out the mahogany sword he was carrying on his back, and cut off two of the iron chains first.

As soon as the iron chain was broken, one end of the sarcophagus simply jumped up from the ground, hitting the ground non-stop—this was the baby ghost struggling more intensely as it felt the confinement of the outside world had decreased.

But Su Yan is not an ordinary person, so of course he won't let Guiying succeed so easily.When he unfolded the universe bag in his hand, one end of the sarcophagus shrunk several times and was sucked into the universe bag.Then Su Yan raised his sword and fell, the other two iron chains snapped, and the sarcophagus was sucked into the universe bag in an instant.

Su Yan quickly tied up the opening of the Qiankun bag, took out three more talisman papers, and pasted them on the Qiankun bag, the shrunken sarcophagus inside stopped moving and was completely safe.

After finishing all this, Su Yan heard the sound of the door being broken, so he didn't stay for long, just swooped and went out the same way through the window.

When the Golden Taoist rushed in, he could only see an afterimage flashing past the bed. He hurried to catch up, but he could only see a black shadow running out of the yard, and quickly disappeared into the night.

He cursed, then turned around and went out, bumping into Shen Hongying who was about to attack him.

The Golden Taoist was furious, and a piece of talisman came out, perhaps because the ghost baby was sealed in the sarcophagus and confined in the Qiankun bag, Shen Hongying was directly hit by the talisman this time, and let out a miserable scream , fell straight backwards.

Fortunately, the Golden Taoist was eager to recover the sarcophagus, but did not make up a sword, and Shen Hongying was able to recover a life.

Not long after Golden Taoist chased after him, there was a rush of footsteps outside the yard, and a dozen lanterns surrounded a young man, illuminating a small area of ​​the world.

This young man is Zhu Zhiwen. When he entered the yard, he found Shen Hongying lying on the ground. After a closer look, he found that the clothes this strange woman was wearing were not what the maids of the Duke's Mansion could wear. He immediately called out to the side. A servant: "What's going on?"

The servant showed embarrassment: "Your Majesty, as you ordered, no one is allowed to approach this courtyard without your consent. We really don't know about this woman."

Zhu Zhiwen scolded, "Where are the guards? Where did they all die?"

Everyone held the lanterns and looked around, only seeing a few Taoist priests and guards lying in a pool of blood and dying for a long time.After counting, I found that there were a few people missing.

Zhu Zhiwen scolded: "It's a waste of raising them to run away! You guys, find me quickly!"

Then, he nodded to the servant closest to him, and said without batting an eyelid: "You, let me go in and see if the sarcophagus is still there."

The servant who was named turned pale. He could be regarded as Zhu Zhiwen's personal servant, otherwise he would not have been able to stand so close to Zhu Zhiwen. Of course he knew what was trapped in this room.

Thinking of the ghost baby with blue skin, red eyes and fangs, the boy's legs began to tremble.

Zhu Zhiwen was on the head, seeing that the boy didn't move, he immediately kicked him over: "If I tell you to go, you can go, why is there such a big air!"

The servant dared not refuse, so he trembled, approached the room with the wide open door cautiously, and looked inside.

The house was empty, except for four severed chains, there was nothing left.

When the boy saw this, a big stone fell from his heart, heaved a sigh of relief, then pretended to be anxious, ran to Zhu Zhiwen, and whispered: "My lord, the sarcophagus is gone."

"Missing?" Zhu Zhiwen looked at another servant, "Where is the Golden Taoist?"

The servant quickly replied: "Back to my son, the Golden Taoist is gone too. His Taoist boy said that the Golden Taoist just sensed something strange in the sarcophagus, so he came to this courtyard alone to check, but I waited back and forth on the way to look for it." Twice, the whereabouts of the Golden Taoist were not found."

Zhu Zhiwen frowned, took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness of the strange disappearance of the sarcophagus, and ordered in an orderly manner: "You guys, collect all the corpses in the yard, and wash the blood and everything on the ground with water. , must not let other people find out, do you know?"

"Yes." Several people who were pointed out took the order and immediately went to do it.

"You two, transport that woman out of the city for me, tie a boulder, and throw it into the river."

"Yes."

"And you guys, immediately find the escaped guards and escort them to my yard."

"Yes."

Only Zhu Zhiwen took two steps, when suddenly the two servants who were supposed to deal with Shen Hongying came back and said nervously, "My lord, that woman is gone!"

"It's gone?" Zhu Zhiwen didn't believe it. "He's such a big living person, how could he just say he doesn't see him? It's not like you missed it."

"Your Majesty, it's really gone." Seeing that Zhu Zhiwen didn't believe him, the servant hurriedly said, "We searched that place with a lantern, even in the rockery and behind the bushes, but there was no one there."

The word "human shadow" fell into Zhu Zhiwen's ears on this dark and windy night in this yard where the ghost babies were trapped. There was a shudder.

Another servant said tremblingly: "My lord, this woman, she must be some kind of ghost, right?"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Zhiwen was furious, and cursed, "It's obvious that you are not good at doing things. I warn you, if you can't find this woman, you will go to be ghosts!"

The two servants nodded obediently, and hurried on to look for it.

The other servants around Zhu Zhiwen didn't dare to speak, but followed Zhu Zhiwen and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

He had only taken two steps, and suddenly another servant rushed over. Seeing Zhu Zhiwen, he was overjoyed, and hurried forward: "My lord, there is an urgent report."

Zhu Zhiwen waved his hand, and the other servants took a few steps back.

The servant came to Zhu Zhiwen's ear at this moment, and said in a low voice, "The killer who was sent to kill Niu Chunhui is gone."

"Disappeared?" After Zhu Zhiwen heard this, he just felt that the year was not good, and one or two things were terrible, not to mention happy events, and there was not even a single good thing.

"That's right, according to Shizi's order, the killer should have come to me to collect the remaining half of the commission after he succeeded. But after I heard the news that Niu Chunhui was killed and Pei Jingxing was arrested, I didn't wait for the killer. I sent People went to inquire, only to find that the place where we originally met was already empty."

Zhu Zhiwen took a deep breath, and ordered: "Take someone and look for it quietly. You must not let others find out, do you understand?"

The servant took the order, but before he could take a few steps, Zhu Zhiwen stopped him again.

"Wait, just take someone to look for him in Xijing. If he's not in Xijing, or if he can't find him within three days, then you don't have to look for him anymore."

The servant was puzzled, and reminded Zhu Zhiwen: "My lord, this person knows our plan."

Zhu Zhiwen shook his head and said with a smile: "Since he is willing to give up a lot of money to escape, he knows that if this matter is leaked out, he will be the first to die."

"But Pei Jingxing is still in prison. I heard that Princess Minglang sent someone to find Jing Zhaoyin. If he is released, then we..."

"No." Zhu Zhiwen interrupted him, and said firmly, "Niu Chunhui is dead, the killer has escaped, and everyone around Niu Chunhui has been bribed by me. There is no one in the world who can save Pei Jingxing." .”

The servant heard that Zhu Zhiwen was right, so he took the opportunity to flatter him: "No, thanks to the foresight of the son, the two hidden dangers were eliminated together."

Zhu Zhiwen waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can send someone to look for it."

"Yes."

Because it was still under curfew, this person got Zhu Zhiwen's order, so he went to the backyard to find some subordinates. After some plotting, he hurried back to sleep, but he didn't take a few steps. Passed out.

Standing behind him was a person with a mahogany sword on his back and a Qiankun bag around his waist. In the bushes next to him stood a Shen Hongying with a talisman on his face. Who could it be if it wasn't Su Yan?
