Wear a Thriller To Protect the Boss - Chapter 59

The two finally tactfully rejected the old man’s kind reminder, after all, compared with ordinary people who are clear and clear, the ghostly place is the main target they chose.

Bounty spy, how can you make a living if you don’t do this business?

From the moon to the middle of the sky, the night was deep, and the carriage creaked and stopped at the entrance of the village.

“This is Xiliang Village?” Huo Yinting let go of his horse’s rein and looked inside. “It’s really desolate.”

Yin Yun jumped down from the carriage, and said impatiently: “Don’t be sneaky, it’s all here, just go in and take a look.”

“Did you talk to elders like this?”

“…”

In all fairness, this village is really evil. The ground is black and red, and there is no grass growing. Even the air temperature is much colder than outside the village. The few remaining old trees seem to have died, and the rugged branches are reflected in the moonlight. Next, there was an inexplicably sad and hideous breath.

There was a **** dog tied with an iron chain next to a tree. The black dog was hidden in the night and it was not easy to be spotted. At this moment, seeing an outsider entering the village, he roared instantly and horrified Yin Yun.

He was shocked and turned his head: “It’s the night, why do you tie the dog here?”

Huo Yinting looked at the black dog for a long while, and said blankly: “This dog seems to be tied here on purpose, to remind the villagers that outsiders are here.”

As if to confirm her words, as expected, all the households that had just closed their doors closed the doors in unison at this moment, revealing a pair of secretly observing eyes.

The emotions can be concealed well in the middle of the night, but Yin Yun can still clearly feel that the eyes of the villagers are full of indifference and numbness, as if they are looking at…the dying person.

“The yin atmosphere here is very heavy. It seems that the village called the cursed village is not groundless.” He frowned. “It is likely to be similar to the situation in Chishui Village at the time. I want to find a family willing to take us in. It’s also difficult.”

Huo Yinting calmly blinked those beautiful and moving eyes. She stood in the moonlight, looking clearly a beautiful and weak girl.

Although what she said next, she quickly destroyed this sense of beauty.

“It’s okay, you can open the door, who do you want to open?”

“…Forget it, it’s meaningless to discuss this with you.”

“I’m just talking about it casually.” Huo Yinting suddenly smiled softly, “Actually, someone is signaling us to pass.”

Yin Yun was quite surprised. He immediately looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a middle-aged man in a coat standing not far away, slowly waving at them.

The two walked swiftly side by side, and went straight to the man. Seeing the other party with their sleeves closed, they spoke very worriedly.

“How did the two of you find here? Taking advantage of the weather, it’s not too late, hurry out of the village to find another place to stay.”

Yin Yun said: “It’s getting late, isn’t it? If you refuse to take us in, we will have to sleep in the wilderness.”

The man sighed in annoyance: “I tell you the truth, it is better to sleep in the wilderness than to die in the village.”

“…We have heard the rumors about Xiliang Village. Why, what strange things have happened in this village before?”

Seeing that the man hesitated a little, Huo Yinting calmly added: “Please don’t worry, we two have a little knowledge of some spells to drive ghosts and demons, and it is not a problem to subdue ordinary evil.”

“Exorcise ghosts and demons?”

“Yes, don’t doubt, we are not the same as those liars.” Her expression is serious. “People who are truly capable will not brag about themselves in a high profile. For example, we, on the surface, are going to stay overnight, but in fact they are coming to your village. solves the problem.”

Yin Yun nodded when he heard the words, and cooperated with her with a somewhat inscrutable smile, which can be regarded as very clever demeanor.

The man was obviously soft-eared, and seeing them insisted again and again, he hesitated for a while and finally reluctantly agreed, and invited them into the house sideways.

A kerosene lamp was lit in the house, a dish of peanuts, edamame, and a glass of homemade rice wine were placed on the table. From this, the overall living conditions of the village can be roughly judged-although it is not rich, it is self-sufficient, otherwise It will not be blocked for so many years and still have food and clothing.

“Are we disturbing your wine pleasure?” Huo Yinting whispered, “My surname is Huo, his surname is Yin, dare to ask your name?”

Yin Yun cast a glance at her in wonder, when did this bird give herself a surname?

The man quickly responded: “You are welcome, my name is Li Ming. If you are young, just call me Big Brother Li!”

“Okay Brother Li, can you tell us about the past of Xiliang Village now?”

Li Ming rubbed his hands awkwardly and pondered his words for a long time. At this time, I eagerly replied: “I don’t know how to explain it. There is a long-abandoned adobe house behind our village. There is a large bronze mirror at the door of the house. It seems to be attached to… well, in short, it is a terrible thing. As long as people outside get close, they will be sucked into the mirror and disappear. They will not be found until the next morning, and…”

“And what?”

As Li Ming said, he couldn’t help but shudder: “Moreover, there is no whole body, the flesh and bones are broken into pieces, and even the appearance is not complete.”

Yin Yun was peeling the edamame. He heard a chill, and put the edamame back: “That house has always been like this? How many people have died so far?”

“It turns out that it is not. That bronze mirror only appeared ten years ago. Now, with the addition of the villagers who died accidentally due to curiosity, as well as the mage and Taoist invited from outside, there are almost…20 or 30 people.” Li Ming subconsciously After a pause, he said anxiously, “So you two, do you really think that you are capable of solving this disaster? Don’t give your life in vain.”

Huo Yinting half-squinted his eyes and rested his cheeks with his hands, and sighed lazily: “You don’t have to spare your life in doing our business. Don’t be afraid, Brother Li, as trivial matters won’t happen.”

Yin Yun was speechless: “Did you **** my lines?”

“do not mind the details.”

“…Is this a trivial matter? This is the top priority that has plagued Xiliang Village for ten years. Because of the curse of being unclear, we have been almost isolated from the world for these ten years, and even relatives and friends dare not come to visit. If you want to escape, you will be blocked by invisible force as soon as you arrive at the entrance of the village. Everyone complains and can only live in fear. Isn’t that important?”

Huo Yinting thoughtfully: “Brother Li suddenly became fluent in eloquence.” It is conceivable how long he has been suffocated, I am afraid that I have long been looking forward to the day when the clouds will clear up.

Now, he pinned his hopes on the two of them.

She turned her head to look at Yin Yun and found that the latter was also looking at herself at the same moment, but for a moment, they both raised their eyebrows and reached a consensus.

“Why don’t you go and see now?”

Although it sounds unreliable to explore the haunted house at night, using magic tricks in the middle of the night is after all much more concealed than in broad daylight, and it can avoid unnecessary riots.

When Huo Yinting and Yin Yun came not far from the adobe house, somehow, the night breeze on all sides suddenly roared, and the two of them stepped on the dim and dim moonlight under their feet. They were silent for a long time, and frowned at the same time.

“The blood is very heavy here.”

According to Li Ming, the person who recently died in this old house was a foreign fortune teller. About two months ago, after hearing about the disaster in Xiliang Village, the other party reported a high price and volunteered to go to exorcise ghosts. Who knew the money hadn’t gotten, and the next morning, it became a rotten pool exposed to the sun. Meat.

“Very evil.” Yin Yun said with a calm face, “It seems that we can’t come to any reliable conclusions by standing at the door if we don’t go in and find out ourselves.”

“That’s right, then go in.”

“You are really audacious.”

Huo Yinting really didn’t understand whether the nonsense of “Yi Gao Bird is bold” was regarded as praise. Seeing him casually walking and trying to walk, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

“Wait, you are outside to meet you, I’ll go in.”

“…” Yin Yun obviously didn’t like to listen to this, and couldn’t help but glance at her, “Why? I don’t think it is necessary to meet you, so I can just go together.”

“It may be dangerous inside.”

He is now the target she needs to protect, and if possible, it is best to minimize the risk.

Yin Yun snorted coldly: “Come on, is Que Ling great? I am a bounty spirit detective. This is my own business. What is the reason for you to do it for you, do you look down on people?”

So, a man’s self-esteem is really strong sometimes.

Huo Yinting knew that he couldn’t hold back him, so after thinking about it, he stopped insisting.

“Then when you go in later, remember to follow me.”

“In my opinion, it’s better for you to follow me for the little girl’s house.”

“I am eight hundred years old.”

“… long-winded.”

The moment the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, the rising dust caused the two of them to cough continuously. Yin Yun squinted his eyes and saw that the ancient bronze mirror Li Ming said was close at hand.

The mirror refracted a faint gleam, like some kind of silent attract.

Unexpectedly, he hadn’t waited for him to speak with Huo Yinting, but felt a strong suction on his face, like an invisible big hand, pulling the two into the dark adobe room at the same time.

After the sight was clear again, Yin Yun looked around and instinctively wanted to call Huo Yinting. Then he felt his palm warm. It was Huo Yinting who shook his hand from behind.

He was startled slightly.

“This is troublesome.” Huo Yinting said softly, “We seem to be trapped in the formation. I don’t quite understand your spirit detective terminology. What kind of formation is this?”

Yin Yun felt awe-inspiring. He saw where he was. It was obvious that it was not just a simple earthen house, but a strange space containing hundreds of bronze mirrors. There was no gap between the bronze mirrors. , Connected into an intricate maze of terrain. There was candlelight in every bronze mirror, and the blood-red candle was visible but not touchable. Only the flame flickered slightly, rendering an eerie and terrible atmosphere for no reason.

“This is… the obsessive soul mirror.”

Master Yin He once taught him that if a person who has passed away has a deep grievance before death, he can turn his obsession into a murderous mirror, which is like a curse, so that those who enter without permission will die.

Every bronze mirror here clearly reflects the figure of him and Huo Yinting at this moment. Every red candle is calculating the last hour—the moment when the red candle burns out, all the bronze mirrors will shatter collectively, and the outside of the mirror People will be crushed with themselves in the mirror.

This is the reason why the villagers and Taoist priests will die inexplicably. They are eager to break the mirror and escape the maze, but they don’t know that this will only lead them to a dead end faster. After all, any broken mirror will become an invitation from Huangquan.

Huo Yinting’s eyes gradually darkened: “We must go out before the candle burns out without destroying the mirror surface.”

“It seems impossible to me. It is difficult to reach the sky if you want to find the exit of the maze in such a short period of time.” Yin Yun bit his finger as usual and dripped blood on the blank talisman paper, preparing to use magic to lead the way. I soon discovered that this method was not feasible at all, “…Oops, casting a spell here will increase the burning of the candle.”

Seeing that he intends to tear off the talisman paper, Huo Yinting decisively stopped: “No, you continue to cast the spell, this is our only way out.”

“you sure?”

“Well, it’s too late to think about other methods, you can use talisman paper to lead the way, we can run out.”

As long as it is fast enough, don’t even turn your head back.

Yin Yun sighed: “In fact, if you change back to the body, you can fly out by yourself.”

She is a sparrow, as long as she is not dragged down by this human being, it is not difficult for her to fly away from the formation as long as she acts on her own.

“I said I want to protect you, I will definitely protect you.” Huo Yinting’s tone was categorical, “There is no room for negotiation, don’t waste time.”

Yin Yun was taken aback for a moment. He looked up and saw that the **** talisman paper had already left his fingertips, flying towards the exit of the maze.

In the next second, he was pulled tightly by Huo Yinting and ran away with the talisman.

The candle oil in the mirror is like blood and tears, burning towards the end bit by bit.

The mirror reflected more than a hundred faint candlelights, like a chain of soul-hunting, surrounding Huo Yinting and Yin Yun, no matter what angle they looked at, they could see their hurried and anxious image in the yellowed mirror.

There is no doubt that any broken bronze mirror will signal the end of their lives.

The speed of the talisman paper leading the way is much slower than the burning speed of the red candle. Tears of the candle are like blood, slowly gathering into a pond. Seeing that the flame is about to go out, the last time is coming.

“It’s too late.” Yin Yun’s tone was extremely severe, “Shiratori, let’s take a gamble.”

“What do you want to do?”

“Using my red maple hand-punch.”

The enchantment set by the Red Maple Hand Kushiro does not protect them from the damage of the Mirror from the Soul, but it can stop the burning of the candle for a short time-and no one can guarantee how long it will stay.

Said it was a try. In fact, Yin Yun knew how risky this move was, but he had no choice.

“That’s right, if my spells can’t last for so long, you will leave first-the noble race of linglings, originally the number is small, I don’t want to have another funeral.”

Huo Yinting didn’t say much, she glanced at him sideways, and silently turned away.

Yin Yun closed his eyes and chanted a few words in a low voice. When he opened his eyes again, the red maple hand on his wrist was already red, almost suppressing the refracted candlelight on all sides, and those in his sight The candle that was hidden in the mirror and was about to burn out, actually stopped burning with great skill, as if frozen in the gloomy painting.

At the same time, his blood stained on the talisman suddenly appeared in wisps of smoke, and the speed of leading the way was only several times faster than before. Finally, when it was near the exit, it was completely turned into ashes and dispersed into the air.

“right here!”

Yin Yun almost felt the coldness of the night breeze. Unexpectedly, just before he was about to be free, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist. It turned out that the magic of the red maple hand had failed.

Master Yin He once said that in the formation formed by strong obsession, even the magic weapon of Lingtan has little effect. This is about the principle that everything in the world regenerates and restrains each other. Even if you are a spiritual detective, you are not omnipotent.

The red candle in the hundred-faced bronze mirror disappeared in an instant, and every crack that appeared on the mirror surface overflowed with murderous aura, and fell apart with the crisp sound.

With no time to think at all, Huo Yinting acted decisively and instantly raised her hand to push Yin Yun towards the exit. This action made her escape from the scene delayed for a moment. Her whole body was golden and she instantly transformed back into the white bird’s body.

At the very moment, Yin Yun, who had already set foot on the safety zone, turned back again. His wide sleeves hurriedly flung Huo Yinting into his cuffs and rescued from the mirror. At the same time, a tearing pain came from his right arm. Already blood dripping.

He lay on his back on the icy ground, panting for a long time while clutching his wound, and looked at Huo Yinting, who was trembling with wings.

“Eh, Shiratori, are you okay?”

Huo Yinting remained silent for a long time, and finally changed back to a human form. Her long hair was draped in a mess, and a **** mouth spread directly from her neck to her shoulders, blood gurgling out, and half of her white clothes were dyed.

Yin Yun panicked, hurriedly moved in front of her in spite of the pain, nervously began to look for the hemostatic charm from his arms: “You…you hold on!”

“…What am I holding on?” Huo Yinting sighed, “Take away your talisman paper, I don’t need that.”

She put her hand on the wound on her neck, and after a long while seeing the soft golden light shine, the wound slowly collected blood stains and turned into a scab scar.

She has strong healing ability and it is not difficult to stop the bleeding, but it will definitely take time for the wound to heal and disappear completely.

“You ran out, why bother to come back?” She touched his injured arm, and for a moment, she also stopped the bleeding for him, “I can’t fly.”

Yin Yun gritted his teeth, and gave him a vicious breath: “You still said? Why did you push me out just now? I’m afraid you will die in it, and I can’t owe this favor.”

“Oh, then you’re kind of a thank you.”

“Can you be a little more serious?”

Huo Yinting just didn’t hear these words, she rubbed her painful shoulders, looked around, and spoke calmly.

“Have you noticed that this place is not quite right?”

Yin Yun frowned: “You mean… this is not like the Xiliang Village we were in anymore?”

“right.”

“I also find it strange that since you and I escaped from the mirror array, the aura of this earthen house has been different.”

The two men happened to look at the adobe house in front of them, and saw that the exit had been completely restored to the appearance of a brick wall, as if nothing had happened before.

Not long after, the two people sitting at the back of the room suddenly heard the noise coming from the front of the room a hundred meters away. There seemed to be many people arguing there.

The two walked slowly against the wall, found a hidden location, and carefully observed the situation.

Under the deep night, it turned out that the villagers of Xiliang Village were gathering together, and one after another loudly condemned a thin young man living here.

“Xiliang Village does not exclude foreigners. At the beginning, your husband and wife were kindly taken in to live in the village, and we were considered to be benevolent and righteous! But now your woman has a strange disease that can’t be cured. If you don’t get rid of her quickly, you will get more infections. People, should we all accompany the suffering?”

The man seemed to be crying, and even his voice was full of deep crying: “Please, folks, Dr. Li has already said that my wife’s disease is not a terminal disease, as long as everyone does not step into this earthen room, they will not be infected. She is taking medicine and will get better. Please give me some time…”

“No!” Someone immediately refused, “The crappy quack doctor surnamed Li, can you believe what he said? I think you have only two roads now. Either take your wife and leave Xiliang Village quickly, or you Give her up, let us burn her, one hundred!”

A hundred words, a hundred words and a word, really taught people like falling into an ice cave, from the bottom of my heart to the limbs and limbs.

Unexpectedly, such a proposal was approved by most people present.

“Yes! I heard earlier that this strange disease with purple spots all over the body caused the evil upper body. Even if she is driven away, it is difficult to tell whether the dirty stuff will remain in our village, only a fire will be cleaned. Don’t worry about it!”

Seeing that the voices were getting louder and louder, some villagers had already lit the torch in their hands. The young man was forced so hard that he finally knelt in front of the crowd with a “plop” and clasped three heads.

He tried his best to hoarse: “Please! My wife is my life! She is just sick and did not provoke any evil, she will get better!”

However, no one would listen to him to explain, the villagers who are obsessed with ghosts only want to avoid future troubles, so this fire must be burned tonight.

The young man was outnumbered. Even though he desperately tried to stop the menacing villagers and prop up a safe space for his seriously ill wife, he finally found out in despair that this was simply impossible.

The villagers violently tried to tear him away, and some even cursed him, threatening him to stop him again, and even burn him to death.

In such a remote place, the law does not take care of it, and the silent end of a human life does not seem to be worth mentioning.

“Doctor Li—Doctor Li! Come out and be fair—”

However, Dr. Li, who was the only life-saving straw, did not appear from beginning to end.

Yin Yun stood in place, his finger joints turned white, and even the pain of the wound could not cool his anger.

At this moment, he heard Huo Yinting’s voice behind him.

“This is Xiliang Village about ten years ago, and it is the origin of all disasters afterwards.”

“These villagers really don’t have the slightest humanity.”

“You can’t bear it?”

“I want to help that couple, but this was ten years ago, and I can’t change the established history.”

“So…” Huo Yinting sighed in a meaningful tone, “That man didn’t survive in the end.”

Yin Yun looked not far away again, and saw that the young man saw the villager’s torch, he had already lit the adobe house, and he could not save his beloved wife anyway, he suddenly pushed everyone away crazy. , Climbing and rushing into the burning back room.

“I will die here with her tonight! No matter how many years I become a ghost, I will not let all of you go!”
