Chapter 77 Lamp Grass (First Update)

Outside Qingshan City, there is a village with about a hundred households. The village is protected by a tall wall.

Wang Ergou is one of the guards in this village. He holds a torch in one hand and a spear in the other hand, walking on the lower road inside the village wall with one step at a time.

He was always proud of his status, because he had the highest status among the guards in the village. He did not have to go out early and come back late to work in the fields like ordinary villagers. He was exhausted every day.

All he does is protect the villagers from going out to work every day, and it is his turn to keep vigil every three days. In his opinion, this is much easier than working in the fields.

As for the dangers mentioned by the old man in the village, such as monsters and monsters, he was scared to death at first and did not dare to watch alone at night. However, he had never seen any monsters and monsters in the past few years, so he regarded them as a trick to scare people.

It was not like he had never encountered danger before. Once, he encountered several wild boars. In the end, he and his companions stabbed them all to death and beat them to death.

That meat is so delicious!

After turning a corner, a hut appeared under the wall of the village. Wang Ergou shouted, "Second Naughty, it's time to change your shift! I'm really sleepy, yawn~~~"

But no one agreed!

Wang Ergou was a little annoyed. He had woken him up in advance during the last lap. Did he fall asleep again?

He strode towards the hut, thinking about how to wake him up and pour cold water on him? Pinch your nose? Or use urine to treat it?

Just after taking two steps, his body suddenly stopped and he looked at a white lantern hanging outside the door of the hut with a surprised expression.

"Huh? I remember it was a torch. When did it change to a lantern?"

"Besides, this lantern is too broken. Even though it's leaking air everywhere, why is there still a large piece of lantern paper missing?"

Wang Ergou complained a few words and continued to move forward. He came to the door in a few steps and was about to open the door.

Whoosh~~~

A white silk ribbon suddenly entangled itself tightly around his neck.

"Woo~~"

Bai Ling was tightened so tightly that Wang Ergou could only whimper weakly. He turned his head with all his strength and saw Bai Ling protruding from the tattered white lantern.

Through the hole in the lantern, he saw that what was burning in the lantern was not a lamp grass, but a small person.

That person is clearly a troublemaker!

His face was full of fear, and there was a pale flame burning on his head. His hair had been burned off, and in the pale halo, he looked like a bald monk.

The sky is brightening and the sun is shining brightly.

In the city guard's mansion, city guard Li Yuanbiao listened to the reports of his subordinates with a gloomy heart.

He was having a headache how to mediate the conflicts between the four major families, but his subordinates came to report that there was another ghost!

This time outside the city, two tragedies happened on the same night!

One was the Pegasus Escort Agency outside the city. There were hundreds of people under the head escort of the Self-Forging Body Marrow Refining Level, Ma Qianli. All of them died, their flesh and blood had been drained, and their bodies were covered with strange gray-black lines, which was extremely terrifying.

The other place was Wangjia Village outside the city. Most of the hundreds of people in the village were killed. The dead were all burned alive, with all their flesh and blood burned away, leaving only charred skeletons.

However, dozens of people in the village escaped with their lives, but they were all crazy and could not ask any questions.

He can only say "white lantern", "lamp grass", "monk" and other illogical words.

Li Yuanbiao had no choice but to put aside the affairs of the four major families and rush to the scene to check. At the same time, he ordered his men to ask the four major families to send people to the scene to jointly deal with the ghost matter.

The Pegasus Escort Agency is located three miles outside Qingshan City. At that time, the chief escort agency, Ma Qianli, was a highly skilled man and was so bold that building the agency's headquarters here created a sensation.

But unexpectedly, it has now been reduced to ruins.

When Li Yuanbiao and Mr. Fu Master Li arrived, they only saw ruins on one side with traces of the raging fire, and more buildings that had been destroyed by violence.

In the ruins, you can see dead mummies scattered everywhere.

Li Yuanbiao looked carefully and found that the appearance of these people was the same as what his subordinates reported. Their flesh and blood were drained, they were skinny and bones, and their bodies were covered with gray and black lines.

But he also discovered some unheard information.

Although these people had distorted looks, they could still see expressions of extreme fear. They must have seen something terrible before they died.

Another very important point is that every dead person is surrounded by a mess, covered with destroyed items and even buildings.

The identity and strength level of the deceased can be judged from the clothes of the deceased, and the higher the strength, the greater the area of ​​destruction around the person.

In other words, the formation of this ruins owes a lot to the crazy counterattacks of these victims before they died.

"It's Shadow Ghost!"

Mr. Fu Master Li took one look at the deceased and said with a heavy expression.

"Didn't the shadow ghost's body disappear and form a black figure on the ground?" Li Yuanbiao asked doubtfully.

"Not entirely. Sometimes after the shadow ghost harms someone, the victim's body will not disappear, but this is the situation in front of him." Mr. Li shook his head and answered.

"That's it!" Li Yuanbiao sighed.

At this time, someone came to report, "Please report to the city guard, the head of the Yu family, Yu Renlong, is here to assist."

"Oh? Invite him in quickly." Li Yuanbiao was slightly surprised.

Although he sent people to invite people from the four major families, he did not expect them to come. After all, they had a fierce internal strife just last night, and they had to deal with private family affairs today.

Therefore, Yu Renlong's arrival made him feel surprised, but also a little satisfied, and a lot of his grudges were removed. Being able to come is a sign of respect.

"I've seen Li Chengshou and Mr. Li!" Yu Renlong came in quickly and saluted with clasped fists.

The two of them returned the greetings in a hurry, and Li Yuanbiao smiled and said, "I am honored that the head of the Yu family is willing to come here!"

"The city guard is joking, I am just doing my duty."

Yu Renlong smiled faintly.

The reason why he came here was that he thought of the two ghosts killed by his wife and son last night. According to his son, the two ghosts killed should be clones, and their original bodies were at most injured, but not dead.

When he heard that there was a ghost outside the city, he immediately connected it with this matter. When the ghost was injured, it would definitely hunt blood to recover.

He came here to see if he could find clues, follow the clues, and eliminate the original body of the ghost.

Yu Renlong's arrival seemed to be a trigger. Not long after, Wang Haotian actually came.

However, no one from the Chengjia Meng family came.

Li Yuanbiao also understood that since the pillar of the family had died, he would definitely not be in the mood to care about things outside.

The group quickly explored the Feima Escort Company, and then came to Wangjia Village ten miles away.

There was a big fire here. Most of the houses in the village were thatched houses. The whole village was reduced to a scorched earth.

The scene here was different from that of Feima Escort. All the dead were gathered at the village wall at the entrance. All of them were burned into a pile of bones.

After checking, everyone came to a heavily guarded open space outside the village. There were dozens of crazy villagers on the open space. Each of them had a terrified face, dull eyes, and kept muttering something.

"This is the survivor of Wangjia Village. Although he is crazy, he also said some clues. There are only three words that can be understood."

Li Yuanbiao looked at the villagers with a solemn expression.

"That is the lamp grass, the white lantern, and the monk!"
