Chapter 7 The seventh demon blood

The autumn wind is full of courtyards. The originally bright sky had turned dark at some point. Long Fei suddenly noticed and looked up. The sun was already hidden in a dark cloud. The dark cloud was like a pair of magic hands, suddenly took the sun away. Xiao Li also opened the coffin lid at this time. The lid of the coffin was nailed on with iron nails, but there were only two iron nails. Xiao Li took the nails and Gaekal lifted them off at once. For him, this is of course a piece of cake. As soon as the coffin lid was opened, Fei Du Xiaoli's complexion changed drastically, and even Long Fei's complexion also changed.

The one lying in the coffin was the Shuiyue Guanyin whom Long Fei saw last night, and Xiao Li's wife Xianjun who had been dead for three years! She appeared in the bamboo forest last night and disappeared in the white smoke, but now she unexpectedly appeared in this coffin. She lay there quietly, eyes closed, with a peaceful expression, but her complexion was like chalk, not like that of a living person at all. She was already a dead person. But she has been dead for three years! A person who has been dead for three years and buried in the ground for three years, even if his bones may not have been turned into bones, his muscles should have rotted out of shape.

Is this a god?Is it a ghost?or people? Xianjun, Xiao Li let out an exclamation, and the coffin lid dropped to the ground. The capillaries all over Long Fei's body couldn't help but stand on end. Shuiyue Guanyin still held the lotus flower in her hand, which was stained with a lot of blood. Her white clothes were also mottled with blood, her left brain was cracked, her muscles were ripped apart, her ribs were exposed, three of them were broken, and the heart was wearing on one of the ribs! This is clearly like being inserted by a sharp weapon to break the flesh and bones, and grab the heart out.

Long Fei couldn't help but think of that strange man's strange hands covered with snake scales and long, sharp nails. Was it that strange hand that grabbed the heart of Shuiyue Guanyin? The flesh and blood were fresh and tender, and although the smell of blood was strong, it did not stink. How can flesh and blood be like this after a person has been dead for three years? Before Long Fei could think about it, Xiao Li had already leaned over and passed the Shuiyue Guanyin's neck with one hand, helping her up from the coffin. Bai Sanniang had been listening and watching, her face was pale with fright, her whole body was trembling, at this moment she couldn't help but blurted out: Madam, I will kowtow to you, I beg you to read before I follow. You have been for decades, don't scare me like this again!

She cried out and knelt down and kowtowed. Xiao Li also hissed: "Xianjun, Xianjun, what do you want, just say it, why bother!" While screaming, he held the face of Shuiyue Guanyin and shook it. Long Fei watched and listened, his whole body trembled involuntarily. At this time, something even more terrifying happened! Xiao Li shook the face of Shuiyue Guanyin a few times, and it fell apart and fell off piece by piece. It's like chalk coming off a wall because of the shock. Behind the chalky face, there seems to be another face! Xiao Li also noticed it, and hurriedly stopped.

Long Fei involuntarily bent down, stretched out his hand to brush it away, and Xiao Li also intervened and pinched it. Bai Sanniang heard the strange cry, and stopped kowtowing, got up, and was stunned at a glance. The face of Shuiyue Guanyin was actually brushed off by Long Fei and Xiao Li one by one, and it was taken off! After the face, there is another face! A man's face! This face is as handsome as a woman's. If it weren't for the beard hidden on the lips and under the chin, it would be easy to be mistaken for a woman in this dress. When he saw this face, Xiao Li also stared blankly. This face was obviously very familiar to him.

Long Fei was a stranger. who is this Xiao Li suddenly screamed in a heart-piercing way: Yulang! Bai Sanniang immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Young Master!"Young Master, why are you doing this? Long Fei heard it very clearly, and couldn't help asking: Could it be that he is Xiao Lidao: He is Yulang! Long Fei muttered, "What's going on here?" Xiao Lidao: I don't know what the hell the little beast is doing, but he is dressed up like his mother! Long Fei said: Then I'm afraid it was him that I saw last night. Xiao Lidao: It is also unknown. Long Fei said: But as a human being, how did he disappear last night?

Xiao Li smiled bitterly and said: Why do you ask me? Long Fei said: There is one thing, senior will definitely know. Xiao Lidao: Do ​​you mean that their mother and son both dress up as Shuiyue Guanyin? Long Fei said: Exactly. Xiao Lidao: His mother liked Shuiyue Guanyin's attire since she was a child. When she was born, she always liked to dress up as Shuiyue Guanyin. Of course, she didn't always hold lotus flowers in her hands, but when she was happy, she would break the lotus. Hold it in your hand, as if watching the water and the moon. Long Fei said, "It's no wonder Brother Yulang's wooden statue is also carved in the shape of Shuiyue Guanyin."

Xiao Lidao: As for why the little animal is also dressed as Shuiyue Guanyin, I have to ask the little animal. Long Fei asked in a hoarse voice: I'm afraid he couldn't help himself. Xiao Li suddenly said: You mean he was fascinated by ghosts?Be haunted by demons? Long Fei didn't dare to say yes, and he didn't dare to say no. Although he never believed in such things as ghosts and ghosts, his confidence was already shaken after these strange encounters. Bai Sanniang immediately recited the Buddha's name. Muttering Amitabha's desolate Buddha's name hit Long Fei Xiaoli's heart like a hammer.

Xiao Yulang's pale lips trembled before he uttered the Buddha's name. Long Fei saw it at a glance, and shouted strangely: "Look at his lips!" It didn't sound like his voice at all. Xiao Li also saw it, and shouted: Yulang!If you have something to say, just say it. With Daddy here, don't be afraid, just say it! Xiao Yulang's mouth didn't seem to be open yet, but suddenly a small, slender, black thing stuck out, just touching Xiao Li's left hand that was supporting Xiao Yulang's chin, and it shrank back. Xiao Li shuddered at least nine times in a row, and with a strange cry, he squeezed Xiao Yulang's mouth open.

A mouthful of blood gushed out of Yulang's mouth immediately. Before the blood dripped down, a lizard jumped out of its mouth and landed on the back of Xiao Li's left hand! Black Lizard! Xiao Li exclaimed, shook his hand, the lizard fell to the ground, and was about to escape, when a sword light hit it! Long Fei's sword! The black lizard was instantly crushed by the sword, but a part of its tail was still jumping. Long Fei turned his body and stepped on the lizard's tail, the wrist holding the sword trembled. It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a strange and terrifying thing, and cold sweat was already dripping from his forehead. It's like he just had a nightmare and just woke up from a nightmare. Bai Sanniang was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground. Xiao Li was naturally more sad than the two of them, the muscles of his whole face were trembling, he was extremely sad and indignant, and suddenly laughed wildly. In fact, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. He laughed wildly and said: So that's the case, I finally understand, I finally understand! Long Fei said in a hoarse voice: Senior, what exactly do you understand? Xiao Li looked up to the sky and hissed, "The mouth of the wooden statue was split open, and the black lizard crawled out, which is the omen of this event!" Long Fei nodded involuntarily. Xiao Li cried sadly: Is this revenge? Long Fei was startled. Xiao Li then roared: "If this is revenge, it should have happened to me. How could it have happened to my son." His canthus burst open, he glared at the sky angrily, and shouted: "Heaven, heaven, what is the law of heaven?"Where is the law? Long Fei couldn't help asking: Senior, what is going on? Xiao Lidao: Look!Vigorously turned Xiao Yulang's body upside down, and tore off the clothes on his back with one claw. There is a mole on his back near his left shoulder. The mole was one inch long, and it looked like a black lizard crouching there. Xiao Li pointed to the mole and said: Did you see it? Long Fei said: It's a mole. Xiao Lidao: On the surface it seems so. Long Fei said: Is this mole different from the normal ones? Xiao Li nodded, closed his eyes, and fell silent. Long Fei could only wait. Xiao Li didn't make him wait for a long time, he quickly opened his eyes and said: Speaking of which, this was an old event more than twenty years ago. His voice gradually calmed down, and Xiao Li's excited mood had obviously calmed down, and he continued: "I forgot the details of the day, but I only remember that one summer day, Ding He and I were walking in the wilderness and saw a lizard by accident." ! Long Feidao: Black? Xiao Li nodded and said: Yes, it is a black lizard. That black lizard is at least twice the size of a normal lizard. I hate snakes, insects, rats and ants the most in my life, so I stabbed at them naturally. At that time, Ding He Once blocked again and again! Long Fei said: Why? Xiao Lidao: His reason is that lizards are not a kind of pest, and such a big lizard is really rare, it would be a pity to kill it, and it would be against the law of nature! Long Fei said: Did senior assassinate him in the end? Xiao Li nodded and said: No one has ever been able to stop me from doing what I want to do. Long Fei said: My Uncle Ding must have been very upset at that time. Xiao Lidao: He was a little unhappy, but just for a while, he laughed and told me that the lizard is so huge, maybe it has a psychic, and I will kill it, lest it will linger and seek revenge on me. Long Fei said: Oh? Xiao Lidao: Of course this was just a joke, and I didn't take it to heart at all. Who knew that strange things would happen shortly after that. After a pause, he continued: First of all, such a black lizard-like mole appeared on Yulang's back. Long Fei said: "Senior, when he found this mole, he would definitely think of my uncle Ding's words. Xiao Lidao: At that time, I was really shocked and didn't know what to do. I had no choice but to wait and see what happened and see what the future would bring. Long Fei nodded and said: That's the only way. Xiao Lidao: After that, nothing happened in the next few years, but the mole became more and more obvious, and the character of the little animal became more and more weird. Long Feidao: How weird is it? Xiao Lidao: He is timid and fearful, and becomes weaker and weaker day by day, but he seems to be against me in every way. For example, when I ask him to practice martial arts, he always doesn't work hard and slips out when he is free. Look at the old man Qiu in front of the village Carving Buddha statues, and even privately worshiped the old man Qiu as a teacher to learn carving from him. With a sigh, Xiao Li continued: "He is very attentive in this aspect, and soon he got started. Old man Qiu also seemed to see that he is a genius, so he completely taught him the ability to press the bottom of the box a few times. By the time it stops, it's too late. Long Fei was not surprised, it seemed that it would not be difficult for a careless person like Xiao Li to hide him. Xiao Li sighed and said: After old man Qiu died, the little animal even took over to carve Buddha statues for those nearby monasteries. In a fit of anger, I strictly forbid him to step out of the house again. Who knew he would carve lizards at home. Not long after , In the courtyard where I live, there are lizards everywhere, big and small, hundreds of them, he is exquisitely carved, just like the real thing, so that when I step into his courtyard, I can't help but jump in fear! Long Fei said: Why is he like this? Xiao Lidao: There is only one explanation. Ding He is not wrong. The big lizard really has a psychic, and the soul of the grievance is still attached to Yulang. Long Fei smiled wryly and said: It seems that this is the only explanation! Xiao Li said sadly: But this is the disaster I caused alone, there is no reason to blame my son. As he spoke, he put down Yulang's body, held up the coffin and the body with both hands, and walked towards the lobby. The steps are heavy and slow. At this moment, he seemed to have aged several years. Long Fei saw it in his eyes, and didn't know what to say for a moment, only a slight sigh. Xiao Li took two steps forward, as if he just remembered Long Fei, he stopped and turned his head and said: Xiao Fei, you really came at a bad time today. Long Fei shook his head and said: Senior must definitely Xiao Liqian said with a smile: I have lived to this age, there is nothing I can't see, I will invite you to drink again in a few days. Long Fei was speechless. Xiao Li turned around and said, "San Niang, see off the guests for me." Bai Sanniang was in tears, sobbing and nodding. Long Fei's footsteps were about to rise and fall, and he said in a deep voice: "Junior!" Xiao Lidao: You may speak directly if you have something to say. Long Fei said: This junior hopes to visit the place last night again. Xiao Li said without hesitation: Good!Ask San Niang to guide you. He started again, took a step and then stopped, saying: "Zizhu, be careful there, her statue may be in the hands of that strange man, it may have other effects." Long Fei was shocked, and said: The younger generation will be careful. Xiao Li moved for the third time, and this time he didn't stop. Long Fei watched Xiao Li enter the lobby, and then said to Bai Sanniang: The old man told me which way to go, let me go there by myself. Bai Sanniang shook her head and said: Come with me. Long Fei could only follow behind Bai Sanniang. Turning to the corridor, passing through a moon cave gate, a flower path, and another moon cave gate, Long Fei's eyes caught the spot, and he couldn't help but tremble. Inside the moon cave gate is a fairly spacious courtyard, big and small, and lizards are crawling everywhere! Black Lizard! Some are only a few inches short, some are more than a foot long, some hold their heads up and stick out their tongues, as if swallowing the sky, and some stretch their teeth and claws, as if they want to choose someone to eat, but they all lie there, motionless. Long Fei picked up one of them and saw that it was woodcut, but it was painted black. The carving is fine and vivid. Bai Sanniang immediately turned her head and said: This is where the young master lives. Long Fei said: He spent a lot of time on these lizards! He wasn't like this before.Bai Sanniang's tears flowed down again. Long Fei asked: Then, when did this start? After the lady died.Bai Sanniang's footsteps became heavier. Long Fei turned around and asked, "Apart from Senior Xiao, the three fathers and sons and you, who else is there in this manor house?" Bai Sanniang said: "Not anymore." Long Fei said: Senior Xiao only has two sons? Bai Sanniang said: "Not bad." Long Fei said: There should be several servants to take care of such a big manor. Bai Sanniang said: "Originally there were. After Madam died, the master resigned one by one." Long Fei said: And for what? Bai Sanniang said: "My lord, firstly, it can save money, and secondly, it will make my ears clean." Long Fei said: Oh? Bai Sanniang said: "It's because the Eldest Young Master is not doing his job properly, and the Second Young Master is born an idiot, talking nonsense all day long, those servants are thinking blindly to themselves, so they can't help but gossip. Long Fei said: They are all gone, it must be very hard for you to manage such a big place by yourself. Bai Sanniang said: "It's not too hard to wash clothes and cook food." Long Fei said: I believe the old man has been here for a long time. It has been decades, Bai Sanniang recalled and said: I was bought by the old master since childhood to serve Miss Xianjun. Long Fei suddenly said: The old man is from the Bai family. Bai Sanniang said: This manor was originally the property of the Bai family. Long Fei said: Oh? Bai Sanniang explained again: Master is the son-in-law of the Bai family. Long Fei realized: No wonder the old man said that he has been here for decades. Bai Sanniang said: I watched the young lady grow up, watched the young lady get married and have children, watched the eldest young master grow up, who knew I would watch them die Speaking of sad places, Bai Sanniang couldn't help but shed tears again. Long Fei sighed slightly: "Since the incident has already happened, it is important for the elderly to take care of their health." Bai Sanniang didn't seem to hear it, and suddenly sat down beside a huge wood-carved black lizard and cried bitterly. Long Fei stayed aside, not knowing what to do. Although Bai Sanniang was sad, she did not forget Xiao Li's order. After crying for a while, she stood up and staggered on. Turn around the flower path, pass through the moon gate on the east wall, and finally come to the backyard. The grass was shankless, the wind was blowing, and even in the daytime, the backyard looked utterly desolate. Long Fei's eyes turned, from the rockery, the lizard lying on the rockery, and the crow that he stabbed to death in front of the rockery with a sword, all the nightmare-like encounters from last night came before his eyes one after another. He blurted out and asked: Why is this backyard so desolate? Bai Sanniang replied tremblingly: "After Madam died, the neighborhood became a bit uneasy. Although Master does not believe in evil, he also does not want servants to come and go in and out of Madam's favorite place before death, so he simply closed this backyard." She pointed to a low wall over there, and continued: There was originally a door there, leading to the place where the servants lived, after it was sealed, if you want to come here, unless you go through the back door, you must pass through the place where the young master lives. While speaking, the two had arrived. Long Fei casually asked: Do you young masters often go out and never return? Bai Sanniang said: "Three years ago it was true. Since Madam's death, he seems to have changed into another person. He has to stay at home alone, and from time to time, day and night, he hides there and carves lizards. Is this man really possessed? Is there really such a strange thing? Long Fei was extremely strange. Lonely sycamore deep courtyard locks Qingqiu. Long Fei came to that small building again. The small building looks like a faded fan in daytime. Although faded, it is still cute. There seems to be some kind of indescribable horror hidden in this cuteness. Long Fei felt this way. Is it because of what happened last night? Bai Sanniang suddenly asked: "Master Long, did you really see our wife here last night?" Long Fei said: "It's true, but it might be your young master." Bai Sanniang asked again: Then it turned into white smoke and flew into the sky? Long Fei said: Except for that white smoke, I actually didn't see anything. Bai Sanniang cried and said: Madam was a good person in life, how could she become like that after death, it must be the lizard's fault!definitely is! Long Fei smiled wryly and said: She lived in this small building all the time before she was alive? Bai Sanniang said: "Before marriage, but after marriage, she will sometimes come to sit and sit during the day." Long Fei stepped into the small building and asked again: Do you have a big black cat here? Bai Sanniang said: Yes, Master Long has seen it? Long Fei said: Last night. Bai Sanniang said: "There! Long Fei said: It was in this small building, when I saw it, it was holding half a dead mouse in its mouth.As he spoke, he raised his finger. The half dead mouse was still on the ground. Bai Sanniang looked around and murmured: No wonder I couldn't find it anywhere yesterday, so it hid here, but how did it get in? Long Fei said: This small building has been vacant all this time? Bai Sanniang said: "It's Madam's idea." Long Fei said: "Also closed all the time?" Bai Sanniang said: "Except for me coming every half month to clean it, everything is closed. Long Feidao: When was the last time you cleaned it? Bai Sanniang said: "It happened a few days ago. Long Fei asked: Did the old man forget to close the door? Bai Sanniang said: Although I am old, I still have this memory. Long Fei turned around and asked: Naturally, the back door of the manor is even less open. Bai Sanniang replied: It has not been opened for at least three years. Long Fei said: Last night, it opened as soon as it was pushed. Bai Sanniang said: I thought you guys jumped in and out of the wall. Long Fei said: Oh? Bai Sanniang said: I checked the door this morning, but it was locked inside. Long Fei was startled. Bai Sanniang walked over to pick up two broken window lattices, and picked up the dead mouse. Long Fei immediately asked again: Senior Xiao was not at home last night? Bai Sanniang nodded, and said: It's been two days since I went out, and I just came back this morning. Long Fei said: No wonder he didn't come to see what happened last night. Bai Sanniang said: Master has a lot of friends, and he could almost count them when he was at home. After Madam died, all thoughts were lost, so he stayed at home, but in a month, there are always three or two days when he goes out to relax. Long Fei said: He still looks so forthright. Bai Sanniang sighed, didn't say anything else, and walked out with the dead mouse in her arms. Long Fei didn't call Bai Sanniang to stop, and began to observe carefully in the building with his hands behind his back. He walked around slowly and stopped before the screen. The blood stains on the screen have congealed! Is this human blood?Is it rat blood?Or demon blood? His eyes stayed on the pool of blood for a while, then suddenly moved down slowly and landed on the ground. On the ground under the screen stand, there was another drop of blood. The drop of blood was very small, and it was under the screen frame, so it was not easy to find without paying close attention. Long Fei squatted down and looked inside again. There was a small puddle of blood in the drop of blood. There was a severed finger on the blood! At this time, the sound of Bai Sanniang's footsteps had turned back to Xiaolou, without hesitation, Long Fei quickly picked up the amputated finger with his right hand, and at the same time took out the sweat towel from his bosom with his left hand, and wrapped the amputated finger. When Bai Sanniang entered the small building again, Long Fei had already stood up and hid the sweat towel wrapped around his severed finger in his sleeve. He looked around for a while as if nothing had happened. Bai Sanniang looked at it, and couldn't help but ask: What exactly are you looking for? Long Fei pondered and said: I saw a screen here last night. Bai Sanniang asked in surprise: Isn't the screen beside you? Long Fei said: The screen I saw is not like this. Bai Sanniang said: "What is that?" Long Fei said: On that screen is a half-human half-lizard monster, sucking a woman's brain. Bai Sanniang shivered, shook her head and said: I have never seen a screen like the one you mentioned. Long Fei said: but Bai Sanniang said: "It must have been transformed by sorcery!" Long Fei could only smile wryly. Maybe I should go to my uncle and ask straight to the point to clarify. Long Fei pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly at Bai Sanniang: If that's the case, is he looking for it himself? Bai Sanniang said: "What do you think, my lord?" Long Fei sighed slightly, and said: It's better to go back for now. Bai Sanniang said: I also have to go back there to see how the master is doing. Long Fei said: I'm really sorry to disturb you at this time. Bai Sanniang said: "Young master's words are serious." Long Fei bowed slightly and raised his footsteps. Bai Sanniang followed and said, "I heard that the young master is going to marry Miss Zizhu soon." Long Fei said: That's the plan. Bai Sanniang said: Miss Zi Zhu is really a very good girl, but it's a pity that our Eldest Young Master didn't live up to her expectations and made her hate her. Long Fei tentatively said: Your wife's objection is also a reason, I heard. Bai Sanniang said: "Yes." Long Fei said: What is it for? Bai Sanniang said: It seems that their temperaments are incompatible. She whimpered and said: What are you talking about now? Long Fei also left Xiaojiazhuang amidst Bai Sanniang's sobs. It's the back door.
