Crack

In the early morning, the wind blew the raindrops on the windows, and the old windows made a slight sound.

In the inn room, Jiang Yi was lying on the bed with a rosy face, sleeping sweetly as a baby; her hands were placed on Zuo Lingquan's chest and legs were also placed on Zuo Lingquan's waist, and her nightgown was pulled a little, and the graceful curves outlined by the soft armor were still revealed. The soft armor was refined from snake scales, looking like a beautiful snake wrapped around her body.

Jiang Yi lived alone in previous years and liked to sleep with Leng Zhu. Obviously, she didn't expect that she would make such inappropriate actions after she fell asleep.

Zuo Lingquan actually didn't expect that he had been paying attention to the movement outside, but in the middle of the night, Jiang Yi started to roll in front of him, touched him a few times, and his hands were stuck in his chest, thinking that he was wondering why Leng Zhu's chest was gone; then he rubbed his sleeping face very unhonestly, and he was still breathing like orchid, almost unable to control him.

Fortunately, it was finally dawn after staying up all night.

Zuo Lingquan leaned over and lit it on Jiang Yi's lips.

"Yeah~..."

Jiang Yi's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. She first looked at the surroundings in a daze. After realizing that her posture was wrong, her eyes widened and quickly retreated to the wall. She hugged the bedding and panicked:

"What's wrong with you...you're going to do with me?"

It seems that I haven't woken up yet.

Zuo Lingquan lay down without moving, his eyes feeling helpless:

"I was lying down from last night, and I didn't even move my butt. How could I do the princess?"

“…”

Jiang Yi blinked her eyes and noticed that it seemed that she was first to move her hands, and her face suddenly turned red. However, she quickly regained her calmness, turned over and over Zuo Lingquan, stood on the ground, and changed the topic:

"Get up quickly, I have to investigate the case. What if the people disappear again..."

While speaking, he ran to the back of the screen and started changing his skirt.

Zuo Lingquan laughed twice, but did not tease Jiang Yi. He got up and changed into clean clothes. He hung the talisman clips, swords and other objects on his body, took out the bird food and insect food, and fed breakfast to the two pets.

The little beetle ate a lot of vein-breaking centipedes, but now it looks like a spiritual pet. It has not changed, but its toxicity is obviously stronger. As for how to see it, it is a simple ball that has become larger. Now it can eat the little beetle in one bite, but when I held it in my mouth, I found that the taste was wrong, so I threw it aside with a bite.

The black-black little beetle was not angry. She dragged the dried centipede into the porcelain bottle. While the dumpling was not paying attention, she stole a dried fruit back. When the dumpling found that it had already crawled into the porcelain bottle, the dumpling that couldn't get into the porcelain bottle kicked the porcelain bottle around the table.

Jiang Yi also needs to eat, but the fairy market sells the "fasting pill", which allows Qi Refining Cultivators to avoid eating for a short period of time and have trouble eating outside. Jiang Yi ate one, so she doesn't have to worry about her fiancé going downstairs to buy breakfast.

After preparing for a while in the inn, both of them brought their equipment and walked out of the inn together.

It was still raining outside, and even when it was dawn, the town still looked gloomy.

Aunt Li, who was shocked last night, sat at the door in a daze; there were more people on the street, and some people from the martial arts world came from the west and headed towards the county city.

Zuo Lingquan took Jiang Yixian to inquire about the news from Dahuangling in the town. However, the two of them walked around for a long time and did not hear any rumors of ferocious beasts outside the county town. Instead, they met many city ladies talking about haunted things. They heard that there was someone who ran back from a ghost.

According to the news, Zuo Lingquan came to a private house in the county town. The house was doing rituals to summon the soul. He sneaked in and took a look. The person who was summoned was unconscious and was being treated by a doctor and could not ask about anything.

After inquiring in the city without success, Zuo Lingquan had to take a stupid approach and go to Dahuangling with Jiang Yi to find clues by himself.

Dahuangling is located on the north side of Pengyu County, and there is a mountain road of about 40 miles. There is a village on the road. Other places are deserted and only a few pieces of land on the hillside are visible. The so-called "Dahuangling" is just a relatively large mountain between the mountains, with a small river between the valleys. The river water is muddy and yellow under heavy rain.

Jiang Yi washed her cleanly last night. When she walked near Dahuangling, she turned into a phoenix. The white hair of the dumpling was wet and stuck to her body, and she looked a little thinner.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Jiang Yi looked very serious. She held a wooden stick in her hand and searched among the trees, and occasionally looked at the traces on the trunks.

There are not people in the deep mountains. You can occasionally encounter paths opened by woodcutters, but unfortunately the rain has washed away most of the traces.

Zuo Lingquan was also observing clues, but not as thin as Jiang Yi could see. After searching for a while, he found nothing and asked:

"What are you looking for?"

Jiang Yi looked serious and looked through the haystack in the rain, responding casually:

"Looking for feces."

"Well……?"

"What's so weird? Whether it's ferocious beasts or spirit beasts, their habits are not very different from ordinary birds and beasts; for example, dumplings like ordinary sparrows love to eat seeds, and they sleep habitually find safe and soft places. Most ferocious beasts that can cause trouble are transformed by violent beasts accidentally eating spiritual herbs. The beasts have their own territory and will enclose the land with excrement. If you find them, you can determine the species and approximate range of activities."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking seriously, she snorted:

"They are often done with such dirty and tiring tasks. You, a rich young master from a wealthy family, don't know that these are normal."

Zuo Lingquan knew this knowledge, but he did not expect to track down the ferocious beast in reverse. He chuckled:

"The princess is very knowledgeable, but it rains heavily and we don't bring hounds. It's not easy to find shit all over the mountain."

Jiang Yi found nothing after searching for a long time, and knew that this method was not good. She asked Zuo Lingquan to take out the treasure-seeking compass and take it around the mountains:

"Where there are ferocious beasts, there must be treasures in heaven and earth. No matter how bad they are, there are a few spiritual herbs, most of which are near the ferocious beast's nest. In the past, the arresting department followed the clues and found a lot of good things, and they were all handed over to the national treasury..."

Zuo Lingquan smiled at the corner of his eyes, and he looked for it blindly when he saw this. He honestly served as the imperial guard, followed Jiang Yi behind him and searched in the huge mountains.

It’s a pity that even if Jiang Yi has the experience of tracking ferocious beasts and helping the treasure Exploration compass, it is impossible to find traces in places without ferocious beasts.

Jiang Yi took the compass and turned from morning to dusk in Dahuangling. She searched for all corners and corners in a radius of nearly ten miles. Not to mention spiritual herbs or feces of feces, she could not even find the root hair.

It was dark very quickly, the rain gradually became heavier, and muffled thunder sounded in the sky. The mountain wind rubbed against the leaves, making a "whim" sound.

I searched carefully for two days until it was completely dark before I found something strange on the hillside of Dahuangling.

Jiang Yi took the light pearl from Zuo Lingquan's hand, looked at the slope next to the winding path, used a stick to push away the bushes and weeds, and said:

"The grass poles and branches were crushed, and someone should have rolled down from above. However, the range was not large, and only one person rolled down, without any trace of the ferocious beasts chasing."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly, looked up at the hillside above about four or five meters high, and it should be a flat ground. He asked the dumpling to fly up and take a look. After confirming that nothing was wrong, he hugged Jiang Yi's waist and rushed up the hillside in a few big strides.

There is an open space on the hillside, and next to the mountain wall is a disrepaired mountain temple. Most of the eaves collapsed, and you can see the dilapidated statues inside.

The statue fell to the ground, with a broken arm, and the rain poured into the hole and sprinkled on the cracked statue. The statue's head faced outside, and the carved eyes seemed to be staring at them.

Jiang Yi frowned slightly. She first searched in the open space in front of the mountain temple, but found no traces. Then she came to the front of the ruined temple and pointed to a pile of black marks in front of the statue:

"Someone has made fire here, and there is a bundle of medicinal materials and dry food next to it. It should be a medicinal farmer who is digging medicine in the mountains. He made fire here to cook. When he encountered something, he ran out and rolled down the hillside."

"What happened..."

Zuo Lingquan felt something was wrong, so he took out the case file of the Demon Warning Office and read it again, and after confirming that it was written on it, "It seems that there are ferocious beasts appearing", he put it away again:

"No matter how I think this isn't ferocious beast, it's more like a haunted person. The rumors in the county may not be fake."

Jiang Yi has been in charge of the palace for several years and has developed a habit. The more nervous she is, the more serious and steady she looks. She glanced around and said softly:

"You are not even afraid of living people, but you are still afraid of dead people?"

Zuo Lingquan was not afraid, but just held the hilt of the sword and said:

"No matter how powerful my sword is, it cannot deal with souls. It doesn't matter whether I'm afraid or not."

"I've come here, can I still be scared away? Let's take a look first."

Jiang Yi took off the talisman clip from behind her waist and held it in her hand, and carefully entered the ruined mountain temple, looking for clues in it.

Huhu

The mountain temple was airtight on all sides, and the rain did not diminish after entering, but instead became a little more gloomy.

Zuo Lingquan took out Mo Yuan's sword and walked back to back with Jiang Yi, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Jiang Yiqiang calmed down and looked down at various traces, but as he looked, he found something was wrong.

It seems that something is looking at her too!

Jiang Yi's eyes moved to the stone statue of the mountain god lying on the ground next to her, and the hollow eyes carved out seemed to be staring at her.

Jiang Yi felt creepy and wanted to poke the stone statue's head with a wooden stick.

But as soon as I raised my hand, I found that black red blood slowly flowed out of the stone statue's eyes...

thunderbolt

Another lightning flashed by!

Jiang Yi suddenly stood up, her heartbeats like a drumbeat, her face turned pale, and she stared at the stone statue.

The stone statue returned to its original state, leaving only a pair of gray eyes staring at her, and the rain flowed down from above, as if it was just an illusion.

Jiang Yi leaned against Zuo Lingquan and said softly:

"What's wrong with this place. Did you see the stone statue bleeding from your eyes?"

There was no response behind it.

There was a gust of wind in the mountain temple, and only the sound of silent rain could be heard.

Jiang Yi's body was slightly stiff, and Tuanzi was so scared that she got into Jiang Yi's sleeves. The mountain temple fell into silence, as if there was no one, and there seemed to be one more person.

Jiang Yi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she wanted to look back and check, but Zuo Lingquan said to remind him at this time:

"Don't turn your head."

Jiang Yi stopped moving. Although she didn't look back, she clearly saw a faint shadow moving on the wall of the Mountain Temple, and a sound in her mind was heard:

"Ah~I feel pain~Mom..."

The voice was shrill but hoarse, with blood foam in his throat, and it seemed to come from the bottom of the water, making people shudder.

Jiang Yi's spine was cold, and she felt the thing approaching. She gritted her teeth and said, "

"I am a princess of a country and a true descendant. How can I be afraid of lonely ghosts? Is it scared me?"
