[Comprehensive Martial Arts] The heroine is not human

Since three months ago, there have been strange deaths in Qingping County.

The couple surnamed Wang from Wangjia Village, the young master of a rich family surnamed Yan, the hunter in the mountains, and Liu San who lived in the city the night Zhan Zhao came to Qingping.

The relationship between these five people has long been studied repeatedly by the county magistrate Chen Yushan.There was absolutely no connection between them, and it would be nonsense to say that they conspired to kill someone.

But these five people do have something in common - if Zhan Zhao's guess is correct.

Zhan Zhao turned over and got on the bed, and was about to check on these people's homes, Hu Po was in a hurry, and grabbed him, leaving a few more bloodstains on his arms.

Even without Hu Po talking, Zhan Zhao could guess what this little beauty would say. He smiled slightly and said, "Does Hu Po want to investigate the case with me? Yang Qi...should be enough, right?"

Speaking of these words, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed, so when he spoke the last half of the sentence, he even lowered his volume a bit.

Amber would not be shy because of this kind of thing, she checked vigilantly, and made sure that Zhan Zhao didn't mean to leave her behind, then stretched her waist, touched her belly, and said, "It's enough." Oh... look."

In fact, I can't see anything, I can only see Hu Po's slender and white waist, but Zhan Zhao only took one look, and his ears became extremely red, and he almost didn't dare to look again.Amber reached out and grabbed the dress and put it on, and put on the veil again.

In any case, she still didn't want to face the sun.

After packing up and dressing up, they set off together to investigate the case.

The first one to go is Wangjia Village.

There was no one in the couple's home, but their neighbor was still alive, and the things Zhan Zhao wanted to ask were very simple, and there was nothing unreasonable about it.

He only asked an old lady in the neighbor's house, did the couple have any other children before giving birth to this precious son?

This kind of thing can't be hidden from the neighbors. In a small place like Wangjia Village, people don't have much to talk about. Little things can be spread everywhere.What's more, the precious son of Wang and his wife had such a big and shocking incident, so people talked about their family's affairs and talked about it.

The Zhanzhao government was handling the case, so the old lady naturally knew everything and said everything.

The baby son of the couple surnamed Wang is five years old.

Six years ago, the two got married, and the daughter-in-law did get pregnant very quickly, but gave birth to a daughter. Their family was poor and didn't want a daughter, so they threw the newborn daughter into the urinal and drowned.

The old lady had no teeth, her mouth was like a black hole, she said sullenly: "Maybe...the child will have this strange disease because the dead girl came back to reincarnate. "

Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't say much, just thanked him lightly, and went to Yan's house again.

It is inappropriate to ask the rich family about the matter of the Yan family, it is better to ask the servants of the family.

The Yan family has been passed down from generation to generation, and Young Master Yan is an only seedling.

At this moment, the generational single inheritance means that there is only one son for each generation. As for the daughter, it is not counted in the list of "passing on the family line".Therefore, it is possible to have a daughter in a single pass from generation to generation.

But what Ling Zhanzhao didn't expect was that the Yan family had never had a young lady.

The Yan family is a big family in Qingping County. For several generations, no daughter has been born!

Probabilistically speaking, this is just too weird and weird.

But the answer to the question is often very simple, because this family doesn't like daughters, and once they give birth to daughters, they will kill them! !

And the method of killing the baby girl is really chilling.

——Kill the baby girl first, and then bury the baby girl under the street, so that thousands of people will trample on it. The purpose of doing this is to frighten these reincarnated female ghosts, so that they will not dare to reincarnate into their Yan family!

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao was speechless.

Even Hu Po was frightened, she stared at the old lady of the Yan family who was arrested by them for questioning.It's just unbelievable... Do people in this world hate their daughter so much?

In fact, she never understood why Dingniang died.

In her opinion, it's just a small thing. If you don't like living in this place, you can just change to another place. Why do they have to work hard for such a simple thing? And lost two of their lives?

Even when she questioned the old lady of the Du family at the end, she really didn't understand what it was for.

Now, she seemed to understand a little bit.

The two came out of Yan's house in silence, and walked on the street in silence. Amber looked at the men and women in the street, and suddenly felt that this was a very strange world.

Under the calm and peaceful appearance, there is a lot of dirt and decay hidden.

After a while, she suddenly asked Zhan Zhao: "Zhan Zhao, do people in the world regard men as noble and women as inferior?"

Zhan Zhao was also silent.

He glanced sideways at Amber and said, "Yes."

Amber asked again: "...why?"

Zhan Zhao said, "I don't understand either."

Are the poor the original sin?Born to suffer; is woman the original sin? ... There are even so many girls that even being born has become a luxury.

Amber said: "...There are things in this world that you don't understand?"

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly.

After a while, he said, "Amber, there are many things in this world that I don't understand."

After leaving Yan's house, the two went to the Orion's house at the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, the Orion's first child was also a daughter. Orion didn't like daughters, so he took the baby to the mountain and threw it away. Fend for itself.

... So his way of death was to be trapped in the mountains and starve to death.

So far, what is still unclear?

Combined with the mass of resentment flying from the direction of Wangjiacun to Guiyi, combined with the time when that mass of resentment appeared, things are already very clear.

It was indeed the grievances of the baby girls who were killed at birth.

It’s just that the initial wish of this cloud of resentment was to be born again. It was chaotic and had only the wish to live, so it entered the stomach of a boy. This is the origin of the strange disease of the son of the Wang couple.

The five-year-old boy was full of grievances, among which were the sins his parents had committed.

The child is innocent, but his parents are not. It is hard to say that this group of grievances is not without jealousy... I died, but you were born. You were born so naturally, but I died so naturally...

But the result is of course not good, just a mass of resentment, lifeless, parasitic in the body of a boy, it is absolutely impossible for it to be born again, so when the pregnancy period in October comes, the resentment bursts out , but still not reborn.

Not only that, the innocent child died tragically because of this, and the couple surnamed Wang were heartbroken.

The resentment was attached to the ghost clothes by a coincidence of fate.

Then, it gets its revenge.

Revenge on all those who... kept them alive.

The first target of revenge is the heartbroken couple surnamed Wang.

And in the past few months, every person who died actually had the blood of these baby girls on their hands, but compared to killing an adult, killing a newborn baby is too easy, and there is no need to see blood at all. , It is also so convenient to discard, so there are no tragic scenes, and there are no people who cry and don't want to die.

All of this is a sinister light hidden under the peaceful and peaceful daily life.

This is the truth of this matter, the truth of this matter is so cruel and so chilling.

It was getting dark.

The afterglow of the setting sun slowly disappeared above the horizon, and on the other side of the sky, a lofty, dark color slowly permeated and covered it, swallowing the sky and plunged the earth into darkness.

The night wind was blowing coldly again, and they were at the door of Du's house at this moment.

Ghost clothes... what should I do with the ghost clothes?

Zhan Zhao himself didn't know.

Amber didn't know either.

The ghost clothes are not Dingniang, and Dingniang's soul is gone, leaving nothing behind. Dingniang's resentment has long been engulfed by the resentment of these baby girls, making her unable to recognize her anymore.

However, is it necessary to completely wipe out this ghost clothes?

Amber is a very natural person, she thinks this should not be done, because resentment has never killed people indiscriminately, it... no, it's them, they just want to take revenge on those who killed themselves.

It is the most obvious truth in this world, and it is also the easiest truth to understand.

What about Ke Zhanzhao...?

He is an upright gentleman who abides by justice, and he came to Qingping County, a small place, just to solve this case.

What would he think at this moment?

Amber didn't dare to think about it.

Zhan Zhao took a deep look at her, and seemed to have seen her worries at this moment, but he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand to hold Hu Po's hand, and said softly: "It's getting late, let's go back and rest. , are you tired today?"

He looked like nothing happened.

Amber hesitated for a moment, hummed, and said, "...I'm fine, I'm not tired."

The two of them planned to go back to the inn first.

On the way back to the inn, they had to pass the county government office. The two walked in silence, but when they passed the county government office, they suddenly saw a touch of blood red.

The blood-red robe fluttered, and in the blink of an eye, he had already entered the county government office. The two of them were startled, and immediately understood that it was the ghost clothes who were about to kill again!

Zhan Zhao was about to enter the county government office to chase after him, but at this moment.Amber suddenly let out a cry of pain, she was a little unsteady, and was about to fall to the ground.

Zhan Zhao stopped immediately, quickly went to help Hu Po, and said, "Hu Po, are you okay?"

Amber's face was pale.

Suddenly, another mouthful of white mist came out of her mouth. This white mist had a sweet fragrance... Zhan Zhao had seen white mist before, when they just met.

This is the demon mist that Amber uses to confuse people. This sweet mist, as long as one inhales a small amount, it can make people feel powerless, and they will no longer be able to fight.

Amber actually used it again now!

Zhan Zhao said in surprise, "Hu Po, what are you doing...!"

Without saying a word, Hu Po grabbed Zhan Zhao's waist and dragged him to a dark alley next to him.

Her face was a little pale, she bit her lower lip and looked at Zhan Zhao, the corners of her eyes were moist, as if she was about to shed tears, she looked at Zhan Zhao, as if it wasn't herself who poisoned Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao who bullied her.

Zhan Zhao said: "...Amber."

Hu Po made up her mind, and said to Zhan Zhao: "... Gui Yi kills the one who deserves to be killed, and I can't let you stop it."

After saying this, she ran away without looking back, and entered the county government office together with Guiyi.

She can no longer face Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao is the rarest kind person in the world, he is so gentle and just, in fact, Amber feels that getting to know him has been the luckiest and happiest thing she has experienced in the past 20 years.

But now, she is hindering Zhan Zhao from handling the case.

Zhan Zhao won't like her anymore, and won't give her any more yang energy. He will definitely be very angry. He promised to take her out of Qingping County, and he will definitely not do it. She will return to Du's house and continue Hiding in that haunted house, living in a daze, maybe one day she will be wiped out... Who knows, anyway, she is already dead, so it's no big deal to die again.

Even so, she had to choose to prevent Zhan Zhao from handling the case, because it was only right and proper to kill for life!These hateful people killed the weak baby girl, and now the baby girl has become a ghost and comes to claim her life, what's wrong?Why stop them?Does anyone have a way to avenge them?

... No, all the yamen will not bring them up for justice, because this kind of thing has happened for thousands of years, and it is tacitly understood. If someone speaks out and someone dares to resist, that is a big treason.

Just like Dingniang's "Great Rebellion".

Zhan Zhao's sword can slay demons and ghosts, but Hu Po can't see ghost clothes being slashed.

She ran away in a flash, and ran into the county government office, but tears kept streaming down her pale face. With a wipe of her tears, she followed the breath of the ghost clothes and came all the way to a small courtyard.

The people in the yard were already entangled in ghost clothes. It was an old scholar in his 50s and [-]s, with a gray beard and an inner coat.

His beard and hair are very neat, and his clothes are also very clean. At first glance, he looks like a decent man, but at this moment, this decent man is wrapped in a blood-red ghost clothes. In front of him is a basin of water, and the ghost clothes are Slowly, slowly, he plunged his head into the water basin. The old scholar's face was ferocious, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he seemed to want to struggle, but his whole body was entangled in resentment, and he couldn't help it at all. move.

At this moment, he saw Amber standing not far away.

Amber was wearing a veiled hat, and her face was covered by a light veil, so the old scholar could not see her face.

It's really abnormal for a woman in light clothes to appear here in the middle of the night, but what else does the old scholar care about at this moment?He clearly couldn't care about anything, he only heard him shouting: "Girl! Girl! Save me! Save me!!"

Amber tilted her head, but there was no movement.

The old scholar's head was pushed into the water basin, he struggled desperately, but this struggle was firmly controlled by resentment, which prevented him from overturning the water basin.He was terrified and opened his mouth to scream, but countless water filled his mouth.

Guiyi relaxed his strength, causing him to raise his head suddenly. The old scholar coughed frantically, his eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing that Amber was still watching, he coughed and pleaded: "Girl, girl... please...! Help me, I am the teacher of the county government, girl, I will be very grateful...!"

A gust of wind blew over, blowing the veil on the amber veil, revealing her pale face, she had just cried, the corners of her eyes were red, but the bright color of her lips became more and more beautiful, and the blood in the corners of her eyes The red eyeliner is as sharp as a knife.

People who have no ghosts in their hearts will only feel beautiful and strange, but those who have ghosts in their hearts will tremble with fear.

After seeing Hu Po's face, the old scholar suddenly felt cold all over his body, his complexion slowly changed, and there was a gurgling sound from his throat, even the muscles on his face were twitching non-stop, he suddenly lost his voice: "You... ...You...are a fox demon, a fox demon! Impossible, impossible! You are clearly dead!! How could...how could..."

Amber tilted her head, suddenly thinking of him.

She murmured: "...you are Master Li."

That Master Li who dragged her to the county government office with tricks.

More than 20 years ago, he was still a young man. More than 20 years later, he has gray hair, wrinkles and age spots all over his face. After so many years, how could Amber recognize him in the first place?

However, Mr. Li remembers Amber very clearly. This may be because Amber is very beautiful, or it may be because... the result of this incident is so tragic that Mr. Li has always been afraid of her coming back for revenge, so he Encourage the county magistrate to skin her, chop her body into pieces and feed it to the dogs...

The crueler the method, the more it represented his fear.

At this moment, Master Li's fear has reached its peak!

He sat down on the ground and said in a broken voice: "It's you...! It's you who came back to take revenge on me... No, no, I don't care about this matter, I just acted according to the magistrate's request!! At that time The county magistrate is already dead, and the Du family has been killed by you... If you want revenge, don't look for me...don't look for me!!!"

Amber looked at him coldly.

Guiyi put his head in the water again and let him accept the cruel waterboarding.

Guiyi seems to enjoy this way of torturing those who killed them.

After a while, the ghost clothes were loosened again, and Master Li was able to breathe. At this moment, his face was completely pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was dying to speak, and he couldn't cry out at all.

He stared at Hu Po with a kind of hatred, and murmured: "Fox demon who doesn't understand human relations and nature...you, what right do you have to kill me?! What are you, to take care of other people's Du family's affairs...! You, you damn! If I die, you will drag me into the water...you...you...!"

Hu Po said, "Then what qualifications do you have to kill a newborn baby girl?"

Master Li was taken aback, and lost his voice: "...What did you say?"

Amber shook her head, and said: "It's not me who wants revenge. You can clearly see what is killing you, but why do you keep looking at me? Could it be that you have only killed me in your life, and you have never killed... Who else?"

Master Li turned his head stiffly as if struck by lightning, and looked at the bloody ghost clothes flying in the air.

The ghost clothes are wrapped in something.

The shape of that thing is like a baby.

Master Li was too scared to speak.

... A year ago, his youngest daughter-in-law gave birth to her third child, all of whom were daughters. In a rage, Master Li threw the girl into a basin of water and drowned her.

Basin, drowning...

He suddenly trembled all over his body, as if he had thought of something terrible. The clever Master Li may have thought of the truth about the deaths of people who died one after another recently, but this realization was too late.

Before he could say a word, he was pushed into the water basin by Gui Yi again.

This time, he didn't struggle for long, and was soon drowned.

The red ghost's clothes fluttered around the dead Master Li. The color on its body seemed to be a little lighter, and the dark resentment was gradually dissipating.

... They have a clear target for revenge, and their revenge seems to be coming to an end.

There is a grievance and a debtor. After they killed the person who killed them, this entangled resentment began to gradually dissipate here.

Amber stared blankly at the dissipated resentment, and only said in her heart: I only hope that there is such a thing as reincarnation in this world, and I only hope that in your next life, you can be reincarnated into a good person's family, and don't be as rigid as this life. You die at birth, and don't be like Ding Niang, as long as you live, you will always be tortured by your family.

She stood in a daze, but suddenly a hand clasped her shoulder.

It was a man's hand, slender and warm, stable and powerful.

The owner of this hand carried a pleasant, cleansing scent of acacia.

...It's Zhan Zhao.

Amber startled and turned to look at him.

Zhan Zhao stood behind her.

He is still the same, dressed in dark blue clothes, tall and straight like a green pine, with a giant sword pinned to his waist, with a handsome face and a good figure.

He frowned, looked at Amber, Amber was startled, subconsciously broke free from his hand, took two steps back, and said vigilantly: "...you, what are you going to do? Are you angry and think that I... stop You closed the case."

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

He glanced at Mr. Li on the ground. Mr. Li's beard and hair were already wet, sticking to his face. His face was pale and ferocious, as if he were a drowned water ghost.

The ghost clothes fluttered beside him, and the resentment was constantly dissipating.

Hu Po suddenly stretched out her hands, blocking Gui Yi's face, her eyes widened, as if to say, I was right!I am right!My choice is right!

She said: "...don't kill it, it has finished its revenge, it is about to disappear!"

Her eyes were red, as if her heart had been broken to the extreme.

...Because she thought that she was about to lose Zhan Zhao.

From now on, she will be a fox again, Zhan Zhao will definitely be angry, and will definitely leave. The two of them are completely different, and they will act as if the events of the past few days have never happened at all.

Amber thought it must be.

Zhan Zhao's expression also slowly changed.

There was a vague anger between his brows... He was never angry, even when he was scratched by Amber on his shoulder, he was not angry at all, but at this moment... Zhao was angry.

When he was angry, the edges and corners became more distinct, and the gentleness in the eyebrows and eyes disappeared, replaced by dark eyes, as black as ink, which made people see him, and for no reason. Afraid, and on the back of his hand, there were strips of blue veins bursting out, and all the muscles in his body tensed up, as if he was restraining some huge anger.

He stared at Amber, gritted his teeth tightly, and couldn't help closing his eyes when he saw the red eyes of the fox beauty. Zhan Zhao's chest heaved violently twice, and then opened his eyes again.

His voice was a little hoarse, and he said in disbelief: "...Hu Po, in your heart, what kind of person is Zhanmou?"
