Wearing a sick and weak master

"Not good." Shen Linan seemed to have sensed something, and rushed out the door, "Is the will-o'-the-wisp still there?" He asked looking in the direction of the beam.

Li Yun looked in the direction he pointed, and the place where the lantern was originally hung was indeed empty now, and the white lantern had disappeared.

"It's gone!" he exclaimed.

Shen Linan thought about the recent events with a sullen face. First, Hu Mei died tragically, and then Hu Blacksmith and his son died tragically.

Hu Er... Hu Er...

His eyes lit up, and he said to Li Yun, "Go back to the inn!"

"Ah?" Li Yun was stunned for a moment, scratching the back of his head, why did he go back to the inn first?

"What are you thinking, let's go!" Shen Linan patted him, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the inn.

As soon as he stepped out of Blacksmith Hu's yard, Shen Linan realized something was wrong. The surrounding atmosphere was extremely cloudy, and the previously lively street became lifeless.

Standing behind Shen Linan, Li Yun looked up and was startled by the scene in front of him.

When they left the inn, the weather was very bright, and it was not long since Sishi arrived, but it took less than an hour to enter and leave Blacksmith Hu's house, but now the sky was gloomy, as if it should be a scene in Xushi.

"It's getting dark, it's time for them to come." Shen Linan said slowly, "Follow me, don't lose it."

Li Yun looked at his master, a little surprised, how his aura had changed, as if he had returned to before the Lingshan Conference.

Shen Linan cast spells with both hands, and followed his induction to a suburb outside the town.

The yin air in the suburbs was much heavier than that in the town, Li Yun looked at the strange branches around him, feeling a little flustered for no reason.

Those trees look very similar to human beings, especially the skull-like patterns on the bark. The branches are very thin and tough, like human bones under the moonlight. There are also some red ribbons on the branches, some of which have faded Broken, tangled in a tree is horrific.

"Master, what is this place? Why is it so cloudy, and the surrounding trees are still scary." Li Yun followed closely behind Shen Linan, fearing that she would get lost with her master.

Shen Linan was blind, so naturally he didn't see him, and ignored him, but just walked in one direction.

They came to a cemetery, and the cemetery was full of thick mounds, and some of them were put directly beside them because there was not enough space.

When they walked into the cemetery, wind and sand blew up everywhere, and some of them almost fell into Li Yun's eyes.

As he walked deeper, the fog quietly spread from all sides. Along the way, Li Yun saw many strange faces.

Not to mention that there is a deathly silence here, and sometimes there are creepy laughter.

Suddenly, Shen Linan stopped and did not leave, he stopped in front of a new coffin.

"What's the matter, Master, is there something wrong with this coffin?" Li Yun asked.

"Open." Shen Linan opened his mouth slowly, his tone was very cold, Li Yun's back felt cold, and he came to the coffin and used his sword to pry open the mouth of the titled coffin.

"Snapped……"

The coffin lid was opened, and the rotten smell of the corpse permeated instantly. Both Shen Linan and Li Yun subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

Li Yun looked at the person in the coffin, not knowing what to say, "This... Hu Er?"

Shen Linan nodded, "The real Hu Er died a long time ago, yesterday's is a fake."

When Li Yun thought about it, there was indeed some truth. If that person was real, how could his sister die tragically like a normal person.

And yesterday when they wanted to open the coffin, fake Hu Er tried everything to stop them, obviously they didn't want us to open the coffin.

They distinguished their identities along the only tombstones in the cemetery, but there was no Hu Mei's, neither the tombstone nor the coffin.

It stands to reason that this should be a cemetery, and people in the town will be buried here after death, but they didn't see Hu Mei's coffin at Blacksmith Hu's house. They thought it might have been carried to the cemetery, but they searched the cemetery There is no sign of Hu Mei in any of the new museums.

"Could it be that my deduction was wrong?" Shen Linan scratched her head with one hand, silently reorganizing what happened in the past two days in her heart.

The injuries on Hu Mei's body were checked and they were all real, and there was no possibility of her being alive. Zhou Yong and Su Xiaoxun were her friends, and they should have come to worship her.

But what they were wearing yesterday, one was wearing dark purple clothes, and the other was wearing decorative hairpins, no matter how they looked at it, they didn't think they were here to worship.

Also, the deaths of Blacksmith Hu and his son today are a bit too strange...

"Master, there's a box here!" Li Yun squatted beside a mound and scraped away the dirt with his hands. In the mound, he saw a red lacquered wooden box.

Shen Linan heard the sound and came over. Li Yun handed the wooden box to Shen Linan's hands. When Shen Linan got the box, she felt that something was wrong. The lock on the wooden box had been damaged by the wind and rain for a long time, but it was still very tight. firm.

Shen Linan groped for a long time before opening it. There was some mud inside, which must have been seeped in after it rained.

Not a lot though, there are some letter papers in the box.

Li Yun took out the outermost piece of letter paper, the words on it were still clearly visible, and he read it to Shen Linan word by word.

Recently, the town is very unstable, and the disease often breaks out, so many people died. Thanks to the help of the immortal family, the disease was brought under control.

After reading it, he took out a second one.

Hetang Town mainly lives by producing lotus seeds and food in the water, lives by the lake, and sometimes catches some fish.

But recently the fish are a little abnormal, I tried to persuade them not to eat them, they.Take my words as deaf ears.

After Li Yun and Shen Linan looked at each other one after another, they vaguely guessed that something was wrong.

Then the third, fourth, and until they saw the eighth, they got some clues.

Tiejiang Hu is actually very patriarchal, Hu Mei.When he was less than 12 years old, he was called around by his father and brother like a maid, and sometimes even beat her, so people on the street often heard Hu Mei's screams.

"I thought Tiejiang Hu loved his daughter very much. It turns out that he is patriarchal and treats his daughter like a human being." Li Yun said.

"It's just a feudal concept. I think men are more useful than women, but who knows, women are sometimes braver than men." Shen Linan folded the letter papers one by one and put them back in the wooden box.

He threw the wooden box to Li Yun, then turned around and prepared to go back to the town, "Take it and don't throw it away."

"Oh good." Li Yun put the wooden box into his space, and then followed.

Surrounding the cemetery was a patch of sparse weeds, and a familiar figure quietly walked out of the weeds.

He looked at Shen Linan and the two of them leaving, and said, "This should be the real you, right?"

After Shen Linan and the others left the woods, all those weird trees showed their true colors, the dead branches revealed white human bones, those red ribbons turned into pieces of bright red flesh, and the water stains on the ground also turned into pieces. blood...

All trees are like this, not one exception.
