death

Chapter 68 Soulless Corpse, Movement is Spirit

Although everyone in the village suspects that the legendary "old back" did it, no one has ever seen that thing, and no one will be afraid of it when it is said, so almost all the labor at home during the Chinese New Year is dispatched. Farm tools such as shovels and hammers went into the mountains to help Wang Yong and his wife find their children.

Of course, Mai Xiaorou and I were also included.

But the two of us didn't have any tools, and we met an acquaintance along the way. This person is Zhao Xiaoyu, who is my elementary school classmate. However, our relationship is not very good. The most we meet is to say hello.

A group of us walked along the footprints into the mountains. When Zhao Xiaoyu saw me, he ran over to say hello to me, and then said to me: "I heard that you brought back a beautiful girlfriend. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. No wonder these days You have been staying at home and not coming out, because you are hiding for fear of being seen by others."

I asked Zhao Xiaoyu how she was doing recently, and whether she had a girlfriend.

He shook his head and said, not yet.

I chatted with Zhao Xiaoyu for a few more words, and I knew that he was studying at a university in the capital, but he was quite good. He started making software by himself when he was a sophomore and then sold it to some companies for money. I heard about the annual leave. When he arrives at school, he will set up a company.

I have to say that this Zhao Xiaoyu is really capable.

But my mind is not on his showing off, but on those footprints on the ground.

When everyone chased along the footprints, they didn't damage the traces, so even if we were behind, we could clearly feel the yin in the footprints.

Judging from this, the person who "carried away" Wang Yong and his wife's child was definitely not alone.

As for whether it is the old back of the legend, I dare not say, because the description in the legend is very abstract, that is, it often goes into the village to carry the child away secretly, and then it disappears. There is no description of its appearance at all, and it even carries the child. Well, no description either.

When I was thinking about these things, Zhao Xiaoyu said again: "Chen Yu, do you know that the Liu Group that is going to invest in us after the next year is quite strong, and it is a large enterprise that can be ranked in the whole country. "

Liu Group! ?
Zhao Xiaoyu's words stunned me for a moment, because Tang Qing said that among the huge Daoist family, the Liu family has a sect in Sejong, and what they established is the Liu family group. Could it be that they are the ones who invested in Zhao Xiaoyu?

Seeing that I seemed to be interested, Zhao Xiaoyu continued: "Chen Yu, after you graduate, if you don't have a job, come to my company to work for me, and I will pay you a high salary!"

Hearing what Zhao Xiaoyu said, I smiled directly at him without saying a word.

Mai Xiaorou said, "Our family, Chen Yu, will not work for anyone in the future. He is someone who wants to make big things happen."

After finishing speaking, Mai Xiaorou pulled me forward and walked quickly. She probably didn't want to listen to Zhao Xiaoyu showing off.

Zhao Xiaoyu is also smart, so he didn't catch up, but went to chat with others, but what he said was all about his own company. Seeing him, he wanted to use a loudspeaker to tell the whole village that he was going to set up a company to do business. Boss now.

But I always have a feeling in my heart that Zhao Xiaoyu and I will really have some dealings in the future. I don't know why, but I just have such an intuition, which is very strange.

After walking a few steps forward, I asked Mai Xiaorou if she knew where these footprints came from.

Mai Xiaorou shook her head and said: "I can't be sure, this is the first time I have encountered such a case, but one thing is certain, this footprint is definitely not left by a person, if it is a person, it is impossible to walk in the snow with bare feet It’s so far away, and there’s still such a dark atmosphere along the way.”

I said, "It can't be a ghost either, because ghosts don't have physical bodies, so they can't leave footprints."

Mai Xiaorou smiled at me and said, "Smart!"

I was a little worried and said to Mai Xiaorou: "If this matter is really not caused by humans, it will be considered a case. Your current physical condition..."

Mai Xiaorou said to me: "I don't think it's very sinister, so this time you come to this case, I won't take it lightly, and I will guide you by the side."

Hearing that Mai Xiaorou said she wouldn't make a move, I felt relieved.

We walked along the footprints in the snow for more than 20 miles. Many people were tired and left behind. Only Wang Yong and his wife, Mai Xiaorou and I, and a few relatives of Wang Yong's family in the village were still there. Follow that footprint.

At this time, one of Wang Yong's relatives said: "We have been chasing for so long, but the footprints are still moving forward. Wang Yong, you should call the police first. I'm afraid we won't be able to find the child in a while!"

Although this statement is a bit frustrating, it is also true.

Wang Yong and his wife originally thought they could find the child by following these footprints, so they didn't choose to call the police, but now they were a little panicked. They only reacted when they heard someone call the police, and quickly called the police.

At this time, Wang Yong also noticed me and Mai Xiaorou, so he nodded to me as a gesture of gratitude.

I also nodded back.

When they called the police, their speed slowed down a lot. I said to them: "Let's continue to chase."

Mai Xiaorou and I are both cultivators. Although I haven't been cultivating for a long time, I have already seen the results of my breath adjustment in the past few months. After walking for such a long time, I don't feel tired at all. She has a lot of physical strength. Although Mai Xiaorou can't use spells, her physical strength is still higher than mine.

So after the two of us speeded up, Wang Yong and the others couldn't keep up.

Seeing that the distance between us was getting farther and farther, Wang Yong shouted from behind: "Chen Yu, be careful."

I turned around and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yong, we will definitely catch up with the thief who stole the child and get the child back for you."

Wang Yong said another word of thanks, but I didn't hear it very clearly, because now there was a sudden wind, and the sound of the wind interfered with my hearing of Wang Yong's voice.

Seeing Feng Mai Xiaorou, she said, "We have to hurry up, otherwise the wind will cover the footprints with snow foam, and it will be difficult to find that thing again."

So Mai Xiaorou and I speeded up again.

We have completely left Wang Yong and others behind, and some people who can't see them when we look back.

After chasing for a while, Mai Xiaorou suddenly said, "Be careful."

I sensed the breath around me through breath adjustment, and found that the Yin Qi around here began to become heavier.

We seem to be getting closer and closer to the "righteous master".

Our speed began to slow down, and the footprints began to be covered with snow foam. It was not very clear. We could barely distinguish that the footprints entered a ravine. We walked along the ravine and heard a child not far away. cry.

Mai Xiaorou and I glanced at each other and became excited, we should find that child.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

Following the sound, we saw a child sitting on the snow and crying non-stop, but there was nothing beside him.

As for that child, I have seen it twice, and it is indeed Wang Yong's child.

Before I had time to think about it, I went straight over and picked up the child from the snow.

But when I was holding that child, a black figure suddenly emerged from the snow next to me, and grabbed the child directly.

I dodged to the side, as if I stepped on something under my feet, I couldn't help but staggered, and fell to the ground with the child in my arms.

Mai Xiaorou hurried over to help me up, then took the child in my arms and said, "I'll take care of the child, you can deal with that thing, it's not very strong, you should be able to handle it."

At this time, I also saw the appearance of that black figure clearly. It was a frozen woman with no blood. She was wearing a black single dress, her head was tilted, and her feet were bare.

Her skin was abnormally pale, which was obviously frozen.

"K... ka... ka..."

The woman was making weird voices, high and low, as if she was talking to me, but I couldn't make out what she meant, but from the way she acted, she seemed angry.

The yin energy on that woman's body is very heavy, without any yang energy, so it can basically be concluded that she is not a living person.

But her body is not an incorporeal body, but a solid body, so it is possible that she is a corpse like Mai Xiaorou! ?
At the same time, I also glanced at my feet, and found that the thing I stepped on just now turned out to be the corpse of a child, but the child had only bones wrapped in clothes left!

Could this be the child that the woman stole from another village?
Looking at that woman, I was slightly chilled, and I asked Mai Xiaorou if it was a corpse.

Mai Xiaorou shook her head and said, "It's not a pure corpse, because she doesn't have a soul in her body, she just relies on a sense of grievance to support her consciousness."

I didn't understand what Mai Xiaorou meant.

She continued: "After death, the memory will be left to the soul and the brain respectively. When a person dies, the brain also dies, but the memory hidden in the brain is still there. When the woman died, although the soul did not turn into a ghost, But the resentment in her body was very great, and this resentment lingered around her body for a long time, and slowly merged with the memory in the brain to form a spiritual consciousness, and then the spiritual consciousness began to control the body, which is now standing The look of the woman in front of me."

Resentment combined with memory to form spiritual consciousness! ?
Mai Xiaorou continued: "It takes a lot of resentment to form, but she has such a heavy resentment, her soul should be transformed into a ghost, but why didn't she become a ghost? Could it be that after her death, Someone performed a ritual for her and forcibly dispelled her soul?"

The woman still didn't rush towards us, but continued to make a threatening sound of "Ka...Ka...Ka".

Mai Xiaorou continued: "I heard from my grandfather that this kind of thing is called a 'resentful spirit', and it is already inhuman, but to kill this kind of thing, you have to take her head and stab her with a sharp object. in her brain, or directly smash her brain!"

Hearing what Mai Xiaorou said, I suddenly felt that I might not be able to make that move!

At this moment, my Snake King Pendant suddenly reacted, and a feeling of disgust was conveyed to me. Does it also hate this wraith?
