Chapter 70 A strand of black hair
Wen Ling carefully checked the situation around the Marquis's wife and saw a series of rat footprints beside the bed. It turned out that the rat had indeed run out from under the bed.
"Is it a rat spirit?" Wen Ling felt that it was not likely: "I have never heard of a rat spirit harming people and making them unable to sleep."
"The rats that have become spirits are very vengeful. If you provoke them, it will be troublesome indeed. However, even rats that have become spirits are very timid.
They usually don't attack people head-on, but mainly attack by surprise. A rat spirit that can attack by surprise is already a very powerful one.
Most of the ordinary little rat spirits will at most destroy your property and cause you to lose money.
A long time ago, there was a landlord who killed a whole nest of mice of a rat demon. Later, the vengeful rat demon and its mice ate up all the food in his house, destroyed the crops in the fields, and even stole all the money. In the end, the landlord became a poor family with nothing. ”
Wen Ling also gave them an example of a house being destroyed by a rat spirit.
But it is obvious that this is not the case at all in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Before this, apart from the fact that the wife of Marquis Zhenbei couldn't sleep, there was nothing unusual at all.
After hearing this, the maidservant beside the wife of the Zhenbei Marquis said, "Our wife is usually kind and benevolent. She believes in Buddhism and doesn't even eat meat. How could she possibly offend a rat spirit?"
"So I think it's unlikely that it's a rat spirit." Wen Ling said as he continued to check.
The Marquis of Zhenbei had already clenched his fists beside him: "If it is really the evil rat that caused my wife to suffer like this, I will destroy its rat nest directly!"
Wen Ling glanced at the murderous Zhenbei Marquis.
You don’t say, you really don’t say, this is really a ruthless guy with good fighting ability.
Ghosts and monsters are afraid of cruel people. If you meet a cruel person like Zhenbei Hou who will attack you at the slightest disagreement, even if you have practiced for a hundred years, you may not be his match.
He will fight you to the death and you won't get any advantage.
Therefore, ordinary evil spirits will not provoke such a ruthless person.
That's strange. You don't dare to offend the ruthless person, but you dare to offend the ruthless person's wife. This sounds unreasonable.
What’s more, someone like the Rat Demon is cautious and timid.
After careful inspection, Wen Ling finally found a well-hidden tuft of black hair in the Marquis's hair.
Mrs. Hou is in her forties and has started to have some white hair, but she also has a lot of black hair.
If you don't look carefully, without Wen Ling's ability to use magic, you won't be able to notice her unique black hair.
This tuft of black hair is particularly black and shiny, with about four or five strands hidden on the top of the head.
Wen Ling apologized and pulled out the tuft of hair.
Everyone was puzzled as to why he pulled out the hair.
In front of everyone, Wen Ling took the lock of hair to the bright lantern and pulled it open to show everyone.
Only careful people can see the difference.
Zhu Hongtao was the most attentive. He asked in surprise: "Why is this hair glowing red?!"
I saw this tuft of black hair, shining with a bright red light under the light. The red light seemed to be dyed with human blood, which was very strange.
Wen Ling looked at her hair, her lips curled slightly, as if she had seen something interesting.
"Because this is not ordinary hair, you all step back and show everyone something interesting."
Wen Ling said this, opened the lampshade, and placed the strand of hair over the dancing candle flame.
Under the burning of the candle flame, the strand of hair did not burn immediately, but began to twist gradually.
This was a very strange and terrifying scene. A strand of black hair seemed to have life, twisting and struggling under the burning flames.
But no matter how it struggled, it could not escape Wen Ling's hand.
"ah---!!"
Suddenly, the hair let out a shrill scream.
It was a woman's scream, sharp and carrying sound waves, as if it would burst everyone's ears.
Everyone in the room was so shocked by the scream that they covered their ears. Some did not have time to cover their ears and felt dizzy. Even the Marquis of Zhenbei was no exception.
Gu Chenran was the one who retreated to the outside of the room as soon as he heard Wen Ling's reminder and was the least affected.
When the strand of hair found that it couldn't break free from Wen Ling's hand, it turned into a black mist and floated out of Wen Ling's palm and directly out of the door, trying to escape.
Wen Ling sneered, "Finally you're not pretending anymore? I thought you were very patient."
As she spoke, she quickly made hand gestures with one hand, ready to hit the black mist accurately.
The black mist let out another piercing scream.
When the dispersed black mist condensed again, it turned into a human head floating in the air.
The human head has long hair, the entire head is covered with hair, and it is impossible to tell which side is the face.
Wen Ling used another spell to hit it: "You want to escape after you hurt someone? No way!"
The man was extremely agile and dodged the attack with a quick move.
Feeling the power of the explosion, it knew that it had met a tough opponent today.
The head knew he couldn't win, so he looked around and suddenly pounced on Zhu Hongtao, the most gentle and weak one.
The long black hair was about to entangle Zhu Hongtao's hair.
Everything happened in an instant, and Wen Ling didn't have time to use his magic.
But she was not panicking. Even if it threatened Zhu Hongtao as a hostage, it could not escape her pursuit today.
But all he heard was a "clang!" sound as a sword came out of its sheath.
The Marquis of Zhenbei, who had been standing next to Zhu Hongtao, suddenly drew out his sword and chopped the hair of the person's head.
The knife was steady, accurate and ruthless, carrying with it a tremendous force, as well as the full anger of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
The Marquis of Zhenbei's eyes widened with anger, and he roared, "Monster, it was you, a dirty thing, who killed my wife!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the head could react, Zhenbei Hou raised his knife and slashed at it again.
The head was hit hard by the knife and was chopped into pieces into a ball of black mist.
Now everyone, including Wen Ling, was stunned.
The courage and background of Marquis Zhenbei are truly shocking. No wonder he was able to join the army with a butcher knife, kill his way up to become a general, and finally be named Marquis Zhenbei.
This kind of violence and courage is not something that ordinary people can do.
Zhu Hongtao was also shocked by his father.
He was originally angry at his father's stubbornness in not believing in the existence of evil spirits, but now he was just convinced.
It turns out that even though his father didn't believe it, if an evil monster really appeared, his father would really pick up a knife and chop it, he was not afraid at all!
Even the human head was frightened. How could an ordinary person without any cultivation be able to hurt it? !
Just as the Marquis of Zhenbei was about to continue slashing at the black mist, Wen Ling's voice came: "Show mercy, Lord Marquis, if you kill it now, we won't be able to find out who is behind it!"
