Chapter 290 Uncle Master, wait! Don’t kill me yet! That’s money! (Update)
This time their mission is to collect the bodies and send them back to the hometown mentioned by Hu You for burial.
Huyou will wait for them in his hometown.
As luck would have it, they were somewhat familiar with their hometown Lindu, which was in western Yunnan, not far from Phoenix City.
A group of people stood in front of the valley, and a beast car happened to pass by them.
The driver stopped his winged horse and asked, "Where are you going, fellow Taoists?"
Yan Qing smiled and said, "Go to Hongfeng Ferry."
"What a coincidence, we are here too. It's almost night time. You look young, why don't you wait until the sun comes out before leaving?" The driver said with a smile, afraid that they didn't know the inside story. "I take passengers to the Red Maple Ferry every day, but I never go through the valley at night. But today a distinguished guest chartered the car and insisted on leaving now, so we came here. But now I'm afraid we have to spend the night outside the valley."
"You don't know, there are many evil spirits in the valley. It is said that... the evil spirits that have entered this Central Plains come from here."
The people of the Supreme Sect were startled when they heard this, "But we haven't heard of this before?"
Yan Qing looked at Lin Du, "Uncle Master, is it in the official report?"
Lin Du shook his head. "This place doesn't belong to any sect, and it's close to the border of Zhongzhou, so the news didn't reach us."
Yan Qing walked towards the driver and asked with a smile, "We checked the Zhongzhou Chronicles before we came here, but we didn't hear that there are evil spirits here?"
"Hey, it's only been in the past few years. Hasn't the world become increasingly unstable?" The driver's face was exposed to the sun and the wind, and the tung oil tree was shining in the sunset. "It's been seven or eight years. Before, people could walk on the road at night, but later, fewer and fewer people walked on the road at night. There were more and more traces of evil spirits. We are all ordinary people, so we dare not walk on the road anymore."
After hearing this, Lin Du had a plan in mind and nodded to Yan Qing.
Yan Qing smiled and stuffed a few spirit stones into the driver's hand, and the group of seven walked into the valley.
"Hey! You bunch of fools! Why don't you listen to my advice?" The driver shouted a few times, and finally shook his head helplessly, turning to look inside the car, "Hey, my dear guest, what do you think of this world..."
A withered hand slowly stretched out from the shared carriage. The hands were unnaturally dark blue. "Now, cross the valley."
"My dear guest, the sun has set!"
"I said, cross the valley!" the man shouted word by word.
Upon hearing this, the driver could not help but glance behind him in surprise, intending to explain in detail how could someone rush to get on with his life? If the person had a high level of cultivation, he would have definitely flown away directly and would not have hired a car.
"Now, just..."
The driver's eyes fell on the man's hand, and his heart skipped a beat. It was not the same color just now.
The red sun finally sank below the horizon, dusk fell, and the indigo night swept in, pressing down inch by inch on the sky that was dyed red, like an evil demon devouring the light, pressing down heavily on the bright colors and ushering in a dark world.
Lin Du suddenly stopped and asked, "What's that smell?"
"What? The smell of money?" Yuan Ye replied subconsciously.
Hou Cang's voice came from the disciple tokens on their waists, "It smells like evil."
The sound of the sword being unsheathed was clearly audible, and Lin Du turned around suddenly.
The young man drew his sword, and at this moment his dark blue hand reached out to the driver's shoulder.
The bright sword light pierced through the dark sky, and with terrifying sharpness, it accurately cut off the outstretched hand.
The driver jumped off the carriage in a panic, but still refused to leave and clung to his horse tightly.
The young man in white wielded his sword and broke open the roof of the carriage. With a loud crack, the carriage broke into pieces, leaving only the bottom frame and the fence that was stubbornly scattered like a withered flower.
"Oh my god! My car, my life...Ah!!! Ghost!!! Oh no, it's a demon!!!"
The driver crawled and rolled, pulled out the dagger from his waist, cut the wheel of the carriage, mounted his horse and ran forward.
Hou Cang lowered his eyes and looked coldly at the strange blue-black "zombie" with a severed hand. As dusk finally fell, the man raised his head stiffly and met the face of the ruthless exiled immortal. He opened his mouth, but only a strange hoarse sound came out of his throat.
The sky finally darkened completely. The small lights installed on all four sides of the carriage sensed the darkness and suddenly lit up, illuminating the appearance of the man inside.
In other words, they can no longer be called human beings.
That thing was expanding rapidly, like a giant growing rapidly, and a strange roar came from its throat. The robe that was originally wrapped tightly was now shattered and cracked. The rapidly expanding body was covered with strange black runes, as if some thick oil was infiltrated on the skin, but a closer look seemed to be under the skin, and what was protruding was like a scar.
Hou Cang didn't plan to wait for the thing to expand completely. Just as he was about to strike with his sword, a group of children's heart-wrenching shouts came from the token, "Spare his life!!!"
"Uncle Master, wait! Don't kill him yet! That's money! That's our money!"
"Brother, don't move!"
Hou Cang was at a loss for a moment, and the sword energy he had swung out could only be forcibly retracted. As a result, the sword energy with white light at the tip of the sword turned a tail and was retracted abruptly like a flowing cloud turning a corner.
He turned around and saw the little bastards who had asked him to wait outside running towards him with six trailing auras, shouting and running wildly.
"Uncle Master!!!" Yuan Ye took the lead and ran wildly in front, the talisman in his hand shining brightly, "That's our customer! Our customer!!!"
Hou Cang: Huh?
He turned around and saw that the thing had completely transformed. It kicked its hind legs, leaped high into the air, and rushed straight towards the fairy in the sky who was closest to it. It had ferocious fangs, bloodshot eyes, and ferocious, protruding bones and muscles, giving it a very inelegant appearance.
Before he could speak, Yuan Ye's voice started shouting again, "Little Master!!! Our client seems to have changed!! He wants to bite people, what should we do!!"
"Then let's bury him in peace! Fourth Brother! Leave his body intact so we can bury him!"
Lin Du's voice was not even out of breath, and he was calm and steady, but the murderous intent was already evident.
Hou Cang responded, raised his hand and made a gesture, the golden light on his forehead reappeared, and he slashed the demon fetus with one sword.
The white light penetrated the body of the thing, and this time the floor of the carriage shattered with a sound, leaving no residue.
The driver who had not yet run far: ...
The six people were running around making quite a noise. The driver still hadn't figured out why his customers were clearly human when they got on the bus, but turned into demons at night. Why were they clearly his customers, but turned into those young and foolish customers?
And why... those youngsters can run like thousands of horses and troops.
Lin Du was the first to arrive at the crime scene. He put on the shark skin gloves immediately. Before he started to test them, he heard the man behind him say, "Did you see clearly what trick I used just now? Use it the same way from now on."
Lin Du nodded perfunctorily to indicate that he understood, and took out the rabbit head-shaped tracking aura in his hand. The rabbit's eyes instantly lit up and turned red.
"It is indeed an evil demon."
"But it is clear that the soul is our client."
There is no way the Soul-Chasing Guidance Talisman can go wrong.
Yuan Ye picked up the storage bag and the broken jade pendant on the ground, put them together and studied them for a while, "Junior Master, this is our client. The name on the jade pendant is Hu Feiwei, the person Hu You commissioned."
"That's a really ridiculous name." Mo Lin walked around with the sword stick in his hand. "It looks pretty ridiculous now, too."
Xia Tianwu approached and prepared to check the body. "Obviously, the person was not dead when Huyou placed the order. Why did he let us collect the body? Did he calculate it?"
Lin Du's hand, which was wearing a gray-black glove, was still holding the spiritual weapon. "It's hard to say, but the driver was right."
She looked back into the valley, "It's dark now. There are indeed evil spirits in the valley. There are a lot of evil spirits."
Xia Tianwu's gaze fell on the tracking magic weapon. The rabbit ears turned in a strange direction and pointed directly into the valley, and the panel showing the quantity directly reached the maximum value.
"Is this Hu You trying to set a trap for us?" Yuan Ye also came over, "It seems that three million is not easy to take."
Ni Jinxuan suddenly thought of something, "Master Junior, did we forget something?"
Lin Du nodded, "Yes, Qi Zhen, he is still in the Qin state, and can't run fast."
"I didn't forget, I did it on purpose."
Her eyes were dark and deep, and she said lightly, "I left Han Yueling behind as well."
Han Yue Ling is the moonlight that can become invisible.
Lin Du set the trap on purpose.
