Feather to Luoshui, the wind does not blow

The crisp birdsong spread far and wide in the mountains, occasionally mixed with the low roar of unknown beasts.Lush plants fill the forest, and you may not be able to see the sky when you look around.

Somewhere deep on the top of the mountain, a small bamboo house stood, and beside it, there was an open space of more than ten feet in the verdant green land.

The doors and windows of the bamboo house were tightly closed, even the midday sun was completely blocked out.In the darkness, the person sitting cross-legged in the middle of the bed frowned, the sweat dripped down from his temples and cheeks, but the movements of his hands didn't stop for a moment.It was another effort of injecting incense, the man finally stopped, and suddenly, the palms of his hands were facing each other in front of his chest, he let out a mouthful of turbid air, his frowning brows relaxed, and his closed eyes slowly opened .Although his movements were a little stiff because he hadn't moved for a long time, the man slowed down a bit, got out of bed slowly, and opened the door.

The sun was a bit dazzling, and the eyes that hadn't seen the sun for a long time slowed down for a while before reopening.He went back to the house and opened the only window in the small bamboo house, counting with his fingers, it turned out that more than ten days had passed.

Simply move your body, the first thing you do when you leave the level is to take a good bath and then find something to eat.

……

At one point on the mountainside, wisps of white smoke rose. Although the smoke drifted across the forest in a blink of an eye, it still added a bit of popularity to the deep mountain.

"Miss Xiaoxun, you haven't come for a long time." In the simple wooden shed, a middle-aged man wearing a turban was kneading the dough while talking enthusiastically.

The proprietress next to me skillfully filled the noodles and said, "It seems to take longer this time."

The girl who was sitting just smiled modestly, "I was delayed by something, so I came here to eat noodles in my free time."

These words made the proprietress giggle amusedly, and brought a bowl of steaming noodles in clear soup to the girl, "Miss Xiaoxun can talk. But, if you don't come again, we will be in trouble!"

"But the talisman papers are used up again?" the girl said, and took out a stack of talisman papers from the wide Taoist robe and put them on the table. Come."

The proprietress smiled, and took it quickly, "Miss Xiaoxun is really powerful, she can know everything." The proprietress who put away the talisman said, "There is also that kid from the Wu family in the south, who seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable recently. His mother wants to find you to have a look!"

"Really? That's it, I'll go take a look later."

"okay!"

Finally having a full stomach, the girl stood up, said goodbye to the proprietress, and headed south.

"Hey, mother-in-law, why did you say that this little girl Xun became a Taoist priest at such a young age!" Seeing the girl in a loose gray Taoist robe gradually disappearing from his eyes, the man kneading the dough stopped his work, He straightened his waist and sighed with the proprietress beside him, his tone full of regret.

"How can Miss Xiaoxun be like us?" The proprietress also looked at the direction where the figure disappeared, and she turned around when she heard the man's words.

"Hey, the little Xun girl's talisman paper is really easy to use, and she's a nice person, but it's too hard to touch. You may not be able to see it once in ten days and a half months. What if you don't come here in the future? Woolen cloth?"

"Hey, he is not the same kind of person as we are. If we meet each other, we will lose each other. In this life, we must rely on our own stature." The proprietress said while wiping the table.

"Those who practice Taoism are powerful, but those who can catch evil spirits, with such a great ability, will definitely not just stay in the mountains! Besides, Miss Xun is also a seeker of Taoism, she is better than those." The middle-aged man nodded. Nodding his head, he felt quite touched after hearing what the proprietress said, "But anyway, it's a pity that Miss Xiaoxun became a Taoist priest at such a young age." The man shook his head and sighed, then buried his head for a while and continued work in hand.

……

After coming out of the family surnamed Wu, it was already the moon hanging on Liushao. After declining the enthusiastic persuasion, the gray-robed girl shuttled through the forest wearing a starry sky, and her wide Taoist robe was rattling by the night wind.

It's just that in addition to the usual smell, there is an unusual smell in the air.The girl stopped her pace and twirled her left hand lightly. The clouds were broken, the fog was thick, the moon was thick and the birds were frightened. It was an ominous omen! It seemed that the situation was not good. The girl raised her sword eyebrows, exerted strength under her feet, and instantly stood on the canopy of the tree.Looking down the mountain, the Fengling Mountain in the night is faint, revealing a dead silence...

……

As you get to the foot of the mountain, the smell of blood becomes stronger, and even the beauty of the mountain cannot hide it.

Fengling Mountain is located on the border of Yegan Country, stretching for more than a hundred miles, and the mountain is full of exotic flowers and fruits, rare birds and animals, and full of spiritual energy, it is a good place for cultivation.Such an environment originally attracted many cultivators to come here, but due to various reasons, they all had to leave in the end.Therefore, Fengling Mountain, which was already sparsely populated due to its remote location, was almost even less populated.Only at the foot of the southernmost mountain, there is a small village with more than a hundred people, where the ancestors lived. This is also the largest village around Fengling Mountain.The rest are those who set up households on the mountainside within a dozen miles from the foot of the mountain.

Now the gray-robed girl's destination is the small village with more than a hundred people at the foot of the mountain - Fengjia Village.

The families near Fengling Mountain rely on the mountain for food, so they all have some self-defense methods, but the current situation is not optimistic at all.

Quiet, chest tight quiet, the surrounding air seemed to thicken.Even though it was near the mountains and forests, but there was not even a whist of wind and grass, and the chirping of birds and insects could not be heard. The gray-robed girl frowned.

Walking into the village, the sight is full of mess. Unidentified scratch marks are scattered on both sides of the street, sporadically covered with dark red blood. The doors of the houses are all wide open, creaking in the night wind.The indoor tables and chairs are also scattered, and it is difficult to have a foothold.

I don't know where it is, but there are roars one after another. I don't know what kind of beast the cry is, but I can clearly feel the excitement in the roar.

Following the sound of that roar, figures slowly appeared in the originally empty village, but the figures were densely packed, one after another.

The gray-robed girl squinted her eyes and looked at the figures approaching from all around. Through the moonlight, she could see clearly that those so-called "people" all had pale complexions, blue eye sockets, and long fangs protruding from their mouths.With both arms stretched out in front of him, his hands were also bloodless, and they all stood up and jumped forward.

As these "people" gathered more and more and got closer, the gray-robed girl pulled out a stack of talisman paper from her sleeve, waved it with her fingertips, and a dazzling light burst out instantly.The gray-robed girl flung out the talisman paper in a circular arc, and a white long sword appeared in her left hand for a moment. It took only a cup of tea. Those monsters all fell to the ground and died.

The girl approached and inspected carefully, and found that the corpses without exception had two bite marks on the neck and no abdominal organs.The girl twisted her fingers again, her brows furrowed more and more tightly as time passed, and finally the flames shone brightly.The gray-robed girl is now looking at the crackling village outside the village, Feng Family Village no longer exists.Together with the hundreds of corpses, they were buried at the foot of Fengling Mountain.

……

Qiuyang City is the closest city to Fengling Mountain. Although it is on the edge of Yegan Country, it is a very prosperous place compared to the surrounding area of ​​Fengling Mountain.People who rely on Fengling Mountain occasionally go to the city to go to the market to buy some household items.There are also a lot of merchants coming and going, buying various mountain goods from Fengling Mountain.However, Qiuyang City, which is considered lively now, has been replaced by a bleak one.

Bafang Temple, the largest ancestral hall in Qiuyang City, where all the people in Qiuyang City gathered at this time.

"Tong Daochang, the condition of this corpse is obviously the same as that recorded in the ancient book! Time is waiting! If we don't take action, we will stay here for a long time!" A short middle-aged man with a goatee looks pointed at the crowd surrounded A row of corpses spoke with great emotion.The corpse had sunken eye sockets, blue complexion, dry body, blackened fingers, stiff limbs, and two clear blood holes on the neck.

Tong Daochang next to him showed embarrassment, "Look at the condition of this corpse. It took only a few hours after the blood was sucked dry, and the corpse poison had spread all over the body. And these two corpses," Tong Daochang said, pointing to the one on the far side. The two corpses "not only have their blood sucked dry, but their internal organs have also been taken out. I'm afraid the situation is different, the way of the corpse king is no longer something you and I can easily deal with!"

As soon as Tong Daochang said this, the people onlookers were in an uproar.

"Quiet! Be quiet, everyone!" A man in an official uniform stopped at the side, and the people gradually calmed down.

"Tong Daochang! In your opinion, what should we do now?" The man in the official uniform was obviously a little panicked, but he still tried to calmly maintain his rationality and asked Tong Daochang.

"Hey, although Qiuyang City is close to Fengling Mountain, it is a good place to practice, but for many years, there are very few people who practice Taoism here. I will not mention the reason for this. Now, there are only 16 monks in Qiuyang City. Humans, and the seeker is only poor. This evil beast is only recorded in ancient books. Although it was easy to surrender at the beginning, it is too late for us to find out now. Cultivation level. If my guess is correct, then the villagers of Fengjia Village at the foot of Fengling Mountain may have all suffered accidents."

"That thing is a yin and evil thing, and it hides by day and comes out at night, so the plan for now is to organize people to find its hiding place during the day, and destroy it with peach trees at noon. Don't go back at night. Family, gather here, we have the protection of our ancestors here, so we can take care of you all. Then please order someone to sprinkle a circle of black dog blood and raw glutinous rice around the ancestral hall, and light more torches. The monks and I will watch the night , even it must not dare to come rashly... According to the current situation, it sucks the flesh and blood of so many living people, so it should not wait to attack me in a short time, but we don't have much time left It’s gone. Three days at most, if you still can’t find it after three days, then you have to escape from this place.”

"These corpses should be burned as soon as possible, and then sprinkled with black dog blood to exorcise evil spirits and suppress them. There is nothing the poor can do about the rest."

……

The first night was uneventful.

"Tong Daochang! All the dogs in the city were killed!" The man in the official uniform heard the subordinate's report and told Tong Daochang with an ugly face.

It was quiet last night, if any evil spirits appeared, there would be visions from the chickens and dogs, even though they were in the ancestral hall, if the chickens were crowing and the dogs were barking, they would definitely be able to hear the movement.But now...

"The big thing is not good. It seems that it has cultivated spiritual wisdom!" Tong Daochang paced the room with his hands behind his hands, "The black dog's blood is very good at suppressing evil, and livestock are also very sensitive to evil. It will kill all the dogs in the city." Death, his heart can be punished!"

After finishing speaking, Tong Daochang stopped, turned to the man in official uniform and said, "My lord, quickly order those corpses to be cremated, and then capture all the roosters in the city and lock them up in the ancestral hall, otherwise, we will definitely not survive tonight!"

"Okay!" The man in the official uniform nodded in agreement, quickly turned around and made a gesture to explain, but was stopped by Tong Daochang behind him, "My lord!"

The man stopped and looked at him.

"My lord, please write down everyone's birth date, it will be useful for the poor."

"I will order someone to do it!"

……

On the second night, the strong smell of blood filled everyone's nostrils, but instead of the black dog's blood from last night, it was replaced by rooster's blood.

"Tong Daochang, tonight..."

Tong Daochang stood in front of the hall of the ancestral hall, with one hand behind his back, standing straight, "Don't worry, my lord, tonight, there will be no danger."

Although the slightly panicked face of the person next to him was a bit puzzled, he didn't speak any more.

When the night wind picked up, the roosters in the ancestral hall flapped their wings desperately in the cages, and the roosters kept crowing. Seeing this scene, everyone panicked.

"Everyone, don't panic!" Taoist Tong's voice resounded in the ancestral hall with spiritual power, and everyone gradually quieted down and looked at him.

"Keep an eye on the torch, pay attention to the movement around you, and don't be disturbed! Remember that glutinous rice and chicken blood cannot be broken!"

Before Tong Daochang finished speaking, the monk who was watching the wind shouted, "There, there! There is something!"

In the dark night, I couldn't see anything clearly, only a black mass in the distance with the dust and smoke was quickly approaching the ancestral hall.

Tong Daochang jumped onto the roof of the ancestral hall, stared at it, and said, "Dear friends, there are 64 formations in all directions!"

Hearing his shout, other monks also jumped to the roof one after another. After making the same handprints, they each flew down to the outer wall of the ancestral hall. The whole ancestral hall was enclosed in a golden gossip, and the black shadow had already arrived. in front of.

"Mouse! It's a mouse!"

Someone yelled, the group of rats had come into contact with the golden gossip circle, and the rats in front were instantly enveloped in golden flames.A strong smell of barbecue and rancid smell pervaded the air, but they didn't intend to stop at all, and continued to rush forward. Many mice still broke through the gossip circle.The mice rushing through the gossip gnawed and sprinkled glutinous rice and chicken blood one after another, like locusts crossing the border, the chicken blood and glutinous rice in the outer circle were wiped out by the rats in a short time, and many mice rushed into the ancestral hall.

Tong Daochang let out a loud shout, and lit the paper talisman, which was made into flying swords and turned into lights and shadows. All the rats that broke in were doomed to death, and then they were wrapped in flames and burned to death.

Immediately afterwards, he drank again, "The way of heaven is not scattered, and the fire is gone!" Then he drew a dazzling wall of fire to surround the ancestral hall.

This wall of fire is much stronger than that of the gossip circle. The rats collided with each other, instantly crushing their bones and ashes, and everyone dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know how long it took before the black tide receded, Tong Daochang put away his spiritual power, and his steps were vain.

"Taoist!" The adult called him.Tong Daochang waved his hand slightly, indicating that he was fine.

"It seems that I still underestimated that guy." Tong Daochang said softly, and slowly turned around and entered the inner room of the ancestral hall.

……

Third night

"I still haven't found it..."

Everyone watched the last ray of sunlight disappear into the horizon, and the fear in their hearts was maximized.

"Tong Daochang... the glutinous rice is gone."

Tong Daochang sighed, stood up quietly, and looked up at the dark sky outside, "That's all, it's a poor man, and he should have such a calamity in his life."

"My lord, please order someone to scatter this thing around the inner wall of the ancestral hall, remove all the excess torches, and the lighting will be sufficient."

"Taoist..." The man in official uniform took the porcelain bottle handed over by Tong Daochang, hesitant to speak.

Daochang Tong sighed, "Remember, remember, no matter what happens, don't leave the ancestral hall!", and left.

"Taoist!" The lord stretched out his hand to keep it, but his hand was empty, so he could only lower his head and tightly clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand.

No matter how everyone prayed, the sky was completely dark, just like people's hearts.

In the middle of the night, in the Bafang Temple, which had been silent for a long time, accompanied by a loud bang, the heavy door of the temple was blasted open by a force, and the two solid wooden doors shot straight into the middle of the open space of the temple. The monks quickly opened a door together. The barrier was only able to catch the two wooden doors that rushed over.

Immediately, cries, wailing, and screams filled the ancestral hall.The monks holding on to the barrier met each other and pushed down the two pages of the door with all their strength. They all clenched their weapons tightly and jumped onto the open space, half surrounded, looking at the door warily.

The moon has been completely covered by clouds, and because of Tong Daochang's words, only a few lights are left in the ancestral hall for illumination.Because of this change, everyone gathered back together, and the gate was shrouded in the dark night like splashed ink.

Everyone was drenched in cold sweat, and there was a slight breeze blowing. It was unknown whether it was the cold in the night or the extreme tension and fear. Whether it was the common people or the remaining fifteen monks, their bodies could not stop shaking.

In the silence of the night, this stalemate continued until the end, when it was broken by a dazzling light and the accompanying cracking sound. Everyone looked at the light in a clever way.

With a low growl, the sound of fighting came from a hundred meters away. Several monks discussed quickly, and only five guards remained, and the rest rushed towards the sound of fighting.

There was no need for them to rush, the sound of fighting reached the door in an instant, and the ping-pong sound of hard objects colliding was also mixed with people's panting.

"Run!" A hysterical roar stopped the few people who went to check, and also stunned the crowd behind, but it was too late.

The ten people in front had already stepped into the dangerous zone. After a roar, cold claws followed one after another. Before the ten people even had time to see the scene in front of them, they were chopped off in a straight line, scarlet and sticky. The blood took the half of the monk's unrepentant body and spewed fleeting arcs in the air, falling into the crowd behind, and the organs were only thrown out when they hit the ground, which immediately aroused the crowd to burst into sharp bursts that pierced the sky. Call.

"Naughty beast! You owe a lot of blood! The poor will kill you at all costs today!"

The one who fought with that unknown monster was the departing Tong Daochang.After he finished speaking, he didn't have any extra strength left, only a few low shouts and panting occasionally.Even so, he still tried his best to pour his spiritual power into his mahogany sword, making the sword glow slightly in the dark night.

The moon did not know when it came out, and through the dim moonlight, everyone could see the scene clearly.Tong Daochang's Taoist robe can no longer see its original color. It was caught by sharp claws and mixed with khaki and dark red into several strips of cloth hanging on his body. His inner shirt was also stained red with blood, and his neat bun was also beaten. Scattered, with messy hair and blood all over his face.If it weren't for what he said just now, no one would have recognized that this is Tong Daochang.The monster he was fighting with could also be seen clearly, but it was not the "zombie" Tong Daochang said before.

After death, the limbs are stiff, the head is not lowered, the eyes are not tilted, the legs are not divided, and the corpse does not rot, turning into a "zombie"-this is Tong Daochang's original words.

But the monster in front of him is not even humanoid.Although it was in a standing posture, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a beast.It is very tall, more than ten feet tall, completely covering Tong Daochang in its shadow.The two standing "legs" are more like thick hind limbs, and the "hands" fighting Tong Daochang are still shining coldly, they all look like sharp claws of beasts.

Tong Daochang tried his best, but he didn't hurt the monster at all. The mahogany sword with its spiritual power couldn't pierce the flesh that seemed to be wrapped in armor.In addition to provoking it to provoke more violent attacks and a few threatening roars, it made myself scarred, more and more exhausted, and lacked spiritual power.

Although the monster didn't suffer substantial damage, it didn't have the patience to continue pestering him any longer.His red eyes glanced at the place where there was still a faint light behind him, and his tongue unconsciously licked his lips.

Tong Daochang also felt its change, clenched his blood-foaming teeth, and resisted its increasingly powerful attack.Then the monster slapped it with one claw, Tong Daochang couldn't hold it anymore, he was thrown out by Lian Ren with his sword, and hit the doorpost of the ancestral hall directly.Tong Daochang then coughed a big mouthful of blood, fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

Maybe it was because they were so scared that they were almost sluggish, or maybe they knew that resistance was useless. Seeing Tong Daochang being knocked down, everyone could only watch the monster getting closer and closer. They didn't see its appearance clearly until it was ten steps away.

Its body is more than ten feet tall, but on its neck is the head of a dog, with a scarlet tongue, bloodshot red pupils, dark yellow bloody fangs, and thick black hair that has been soaked in blood for a long time. On the body.This is what a tall black dog looks like standing up.As it approached, a strong smell of corpses rushed over.

Although the remaining five monks knew that they were invincible, they still stood at the front trembling. The people closest to it did not have such a good mentality as them, and one of them collapsed first.He was shaking like chaff, his lower body was wet and there was a stench, and suddenly he yelled, "Monster, monster, monster! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Don't!".He had probably lost his mind, screaming, and ran towards the door past the monks in front of him.

This is undoubtedly an act of courting death.The sudden situation stunned the monks and everyone around him.The man also successfully attracted the attention of the strange dog. The black dog tilted its head and looked at him, and its sharp claws glowing with moonlight fell in everyone's eyes...

Boom!

There was a sound, and there was no expected blood and flesh flying. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The heads that had turned away because they couldn't bear to see the cruel scene slowly turned back. It turned out that it was blocked by a silver-white long sword. took that claw strike.The person who was about to die on the spot looked at the monster that was close at hand, and a drop of saliva was dripping on his head.The strong smell and strong visual impact made him completely collapsed. After a strange cry, he collapsed to the ground with his body limp. His pants were covered with moisture again, and he passed out.

Being blocked by the sword, the monster was very angry. It stopped caring about the man who smelled bad. It grinned and showed two rows of fangs, and raised its sharp claws to look at the dark place in front of it guardedly.Obviously, the strength of the visitor made him very concerned, and he didn't directly jump up and bite.

A thin figure jumped out of the darkness, and the long sword flew back and was being held in the hand of someone who came.

"Stop hurting people"

When the visitor stood still, the five monks all stared wide-eyed.Tong Daochang was supported by an adult, and when he saw the person coming, he also showed an expression of disbelief.

"Master Dao, this..."

"Ahem, ahem, that sword, Feng Family! Ahem, we, we are saved..."

"Feng Family!"

The gray-robed girl held the long sword in her left hand, and held the talisman with two fingers in her right hand. After a few rounds, she pasted the talisman paper on the monster's forehead.The monster immediately stopped moving and fell silent.

yes, saved...

This is the strength of the Feng Family.

"Feng, Daoist Feng..." Tong Daochang was tempted by two guards to cross the crowd with the adults to the girl, saluted the girl, and called out respectfully.

The girl nodded in return, and took out a pill from her sleeve and handed it to Tong Daochang.Tong Daochang was overwhelmed by the flattery, surprised, quickly thanked him, took it and took it.

"Master Feng, this is..."

The girl turned around and looked at the tall figure without saying a word.Seeing the tragic scene around him, he secretly sighed that he was still a step late.In the end, they overestimated the abilities and strength of these people.

"Ahem, a few days ago, I found corpses infected with corpse poison. All of them had stiff limbs and blue faces. Although there were paw prints on their bodies and two of them had their internal organs eaten, other than that, It is completely in line with the description of 'zombies' in the ancient books. So..." Tong Daochang stopped talking, and looked at the monster next to the girl again, with a sigh in his tone, "But now it seems..."
