The good heroine became the attack
Chapter 10
After the surprise, the shopkeeper quickly calmed down. He got up and closed the store door first.
After turning around, he carefully looked at the group of young boys and girls in front of him, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
After all, the shopkeeper of the inn is well-informed. He has heard many guests who came to the inn say that these immortals have boundless magic power and always keep youth, so they cannot be judged by their appearance alone.
"You said you were invited by the mayor, but do you have any tokens that can prove your identities?!" The shopkeeper was still vigilant.
He didn't suspect that this group of people were fox demons in disguise, but he was more worried that he had met people who were eating and drinking.
Song Qingshuang waved her hand, and a letter appeared out of thin air on the desktop.And this letter was written by the mayor himself, and was handed over to the sect by the disciples of the outer sect.
Not to mention whether the words on the letter were written by the mayor himself, the doubts in the shopkeeper's heart were completely dispelled just by the hand of the fairy head.
He hurriedly called his wife and cleaned up the best upper rooms in the inn for several immortal elders to settle down.
Song Qingshuang and the others were not in a hurry to rest, they were more eager to know the current situation in Guhuai Town, so they could find a way to deal with it.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the current atmosphere in Guhuai Town, things may have become a big mess.Otherwise, the people here wouldn't be so afraid, they wouldn't even dare to go out.
"What's your surname, shopkeeper? Can you tell us about the situation here?" Mei Jingqiu said gently.
The shopkeeper gave a long sigh and introduced: "Miangui's surname is Xu, he is a native of Guhuai Town. He has lived here for more than [-] years and makes a living from this inn."
"It turned out to be shopkeeper Xu. It's a pleasure to meet you. Since shopkeeper Xu is a local, he must be very familiar with what happened?!" Fuyang, who was sitting on the side, became interested.
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Xu shook his head and smiled wryly: "To be honest, I really only know the superficiality of this matter, which is similar to the rumors circulated outside."
According to shopkeeper Xu, the incident happened on the Shangyuan Festival a year ago.
Due to the grand celebration ceremony held in the town, everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere in the first half of the night, and did not notice anything unusual.
It was not until the end of the celebration in the middle of the night that everyone returned home one after another.That's when someone found the body on a trail.
According to the person who found the body, the dead person seemed to have been sucked into a human body, but with a smile on his face, it looked weird and terrifying!
At first, the people in the town just took it as a gossip. Some people thought that there was a perverted murderer in the town, and some people preached it as a ghost story.
After a few months, everyone quickly forgot about it.However, at this moment, a new victim appeared in the town.
After that, three people died one after another, and the people of Guhuai Town noticed a pattern.That is, on the fifteenth day every three months, a new victim will appear in the town!
Gradually, people in the town discovered that things were not as simple as they imagined, and panic gradually spread among the people.
Three months later, another [-]th day came. After a long night, people who got up early found the town's scholar running on the street with bare feet and disheveled hair.
He ran and shouted loudly, 'The fox demon is coming!The fox demon is here! '
It was at that time that the saying that 'fox demons make trouble and suck the energy of men' began to spread in Guhuai Town.
Everyone, even the mayor, believed in this, and invited many eminent monks and Taoists from outside. However, without exception, all of these people's whereabouts disappeared in the end.
"Shopkeeper Xu, isn't that right? If this fox demon kills one person every three months, counting the time, the number of victims so far is four at most, how come it has become seven now?!" Fu Yang pinched his fingers and calculated, There was a hint of doubt on his expression.
Shopkeeper Xu smiled wryly: "As I said just now, a scholar finally escaped from birth. After hitting somewhere, the frequency of this fox monster's harm has changed from three months to once a month. The 'seven' this This number is still the same as before, but now it has become eight! After calculating the time, it will reach fifteen in a few days, and maybe another one will die." Shopkeeper Xu shook his head after he finished speaking, with an expression on his face. All a little numb.
Shopkeeper Xu knew only a limited amount of information, so he asked almost all questions soon.
Seeing that it was getting late outside, everyone went back to the house to rest, and planned to go to the mayor's house tomorrow to find out the news.
Because of the murder of the fox demon, there were no other guests in the inn.Those spare rooms are enough for each of them.
-------------------
In the early morning of the next day, several people came out of the house one after another and came to the lobby of the inn.
The last one to come out was Shao Han, the youngest. Her eye sockets were darkened, and it seemed that not only had she not had a good rest, she probably hadn't even been in samadhi.
Mei Jingqiu came out relatively early, he went out early to buy some pastries, and wanted the elder sister to taste them for herself.
In fact, he didn't settle down last night, but kept recalling the plot, trying to find a way out of it, so as to prevent the senior sister from being injured.
The plot of Guhuai Town belongs to the earlier part of the original text, because it was relatively long ago, so he really didn't have a deep impression.
He doesn't remember much about this part of the plot, and needs to collect more information.In this way, even if he can't remember, as long as he can reconnect the plot, he must be able to achieve his goal.
Under the warm hospitality of shopkeeper Xu, they had breakfast at the inn, and Song Qingshuang didn't touch any of the cakes that Mei Jingqiu bought, but Shao Han and Fu Yang ate them all.
Mei Jingqiu felt lost, so she could only comfort herself, maybe the cakes he bought were not to the taste of the elder sister.
After everyone had breakfast, under the leadership of shopkeeper Xu, they set off for the mayor's house.
In Guhuai Town during the day, scattered people can still be seen shopping on the road.It's just that most people looked panicked and left in a hurry after shopping.
Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but sighed when he saw this: "Ever since the murder of the fox demon, the people in the town are living in fear. Not to mention the closed doors of every house at night, even going out to buy something during the day and night, Or set up a street stall, you have to worry about it, for fear that you will be targeted by the fox demon."
"I don't know if the elders have noticed, but now most of the people who come out to buy or set up stalls are women. Because they know that the target of the fox demon is not themselves, they dare to come out and walk around." After talking, the mayor's house arrived.
The mayor's house is a mansion, and the plaque above it is written with two characters of "Qin Mansion".
Shopkeeper Xu stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a few breaths, the door opened a gap from the inside.
The servant saw shopkeeper Xu through the crack of the door and glanced back, only to find that shopkeeper Xu was followed by several young men with extraordinary looks in moon-white gowns.
Probably because he was told by someone, the servant immediately opened the door and said respectfully: "I wonder how many of you are the immortal elders sent by Tianyu Sect?!"
The elder sister Song Qingshuang stepped forward and took out the letter written by the mayor, and also showed the token representing her identity. "We are disciples of Tian Yuzong, and we are ordered by our master to solve the strange things that happened in Guhuai Town."
"Several immortals, please come in quickly. The master has ordered you early in the morning that as soon as the elders of Tian Yuzong appear, you will be brought to see him immediately." After confirming that it was correct, the young servant's attitude became more respectful and cautious.
Shopkeeper Xu's tense mood eased when he learned that these people were really experts specially invited by the mayor.He cupped his hands and bid farewell, not wanting to disturb their business discussion.
Song Qingshuang was worried about his safety, so she asked one of the juniors to take him back to the inn.
Probably shopkeeper Xu himself didn't know what to do, so he didn't refuse after hearing Song Qingshuang's arrangement.
Led by the servant, they came to the lobby.Not long after, an old man in his fifties rushed over and was so excited that he couldn't speak after seeing them.
After he calmed down, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his cuff, and said in a choked voice, "Don't blame the gods, it's really because the old man saw the gods...emotional... emotional for a while, I hope the gods will forgive me for being rude. !"
Mei Jingqiu deliberately slowed down her voice, and said in a gentle tone: "Mayor, don't worry, we came to Guhuai Town this time to solve the fox demon problem. It's just that we are new here, and there are some things that the mayor needs to introduce to us in detail."
"Oh, the old man knows. Apart from the people in the yamen, I am afraid that no one in Guhuai Town knows this matter better than the old man..." The mayor's old face was full of indelible sorrow.
According to the mayor's account, after the No. 1 deceased person was found to have been arrested on the Shangyuan Festival last year, the people in the yamen began to investigate the matter.
After an autopsy, it was found that not only the whole body of the deceased had been sucked dry, but even the heart had disappeared.It was just that it was dark at that time, and the clothes of the victim were intact, so the person who discovered did not notice this.
The county government also investigated for a long time in the direction of homicide, but failed to find any results.
Unexpectedly, another case occurred in Guhuai Town three months later!
The same person was sucked dry, and the same heart disappeared. It is hard not to wonder whether the two cases were committed by the same person.
The mayor felt that there might be some kind of murderer in the place under his jurisdiction, and organized the young and strong laborers in the town to patrol together at night.
However, after three months, another one died in the town!
Now the whole Guhuai Town was in a state of panic, and the people in the yamen were overwhelmed, but they didn't have any clues.
Until the next March, a scholar in the town was almost killed, and somehow he was forced to escape.
When he was discovered the next morning, he kept yelling, "The fox demon is here, the fox demon is here".No matter what other people ask him, his answer will always be these four words.
Although the scholar survived, he was already delirious and could not provide any more information.
The mayor felt uneasy, and vaguely felt that what happened in the town was a bit sinister, so he began to find some Taoists and eminent monks through his contacts.
As a result, after these people came to Guhuai Town, without exception, they all said that the town was full of evil spirits, and that there were big monsters lingering here!
Among the high-level people invited by the mayor, some took their things and ran away without receiving a penny.There are also people who have the courage to exorcise evil spirits, but their whereabouts are unknown in the end, and it is not known whether they were caught by the fox demon to fill their stomachs.
Later, the mayor couldn't even invite anyone. Just when he and Guhuai Town were in despair, someone who happened to have a good relationship with him knew an outer disciple of Tian Yuzong.
He also gave up his old face, and then begged that disciple to send a letter to the master, and finally hoped for these immortals!
"Then I want to ask, have the mayor and the people in the town ever seen the so-called 'fox demon' with their own eyes?!" Fu Yang, who was sitting quietly listening to the story, suddenly asked.
"This...it seems that I have never seen it before..."
"If anyone has really seen a fox demon, I'm afraid Zhang Xiucai is the only one. It's just that Zhang Xiucai has become stupid and stupid after that incident, and I'm afraid he can't provide much help to the fairy elders." The mayor shook his head and sighed, saying to Zhang Xiucai. Xiucai obviously had little hope.
"By the way, can some immortals check to see if there is a demon spirit in the town? If there is a demon spirit, does that mean that the fox demon is real?!" The mayor had a flash of inspiration and proposed his own idea.
"This is a good way. So far, we really don't feel the evil spirit in the town. But today we can investigate Guhuai Town and some surrounding villages separately, maybe we can find the problem!" Fu Yang said to the mayor. Proposal agreed.
"Since Junior Brother Fuyang thinks there is no problem, if other people have no objection, then act according to Junior Brother Fuyang's ideas."
After turning around, he carefully looked at the group of young boys and girls in front of him, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
After all, the shopkeeper of the inn is well-informed. He has heard many guests who came to the inn say that these immortals have boundless magic power and always keep youth, so they cannot be judged by their appearance alone.
