Chapter 64: A Hundred Corpses Become Corrupted
"It's over?"
"How can it be?!"
Zhang granny stood on one leg in the doorway of Liu Xiaoxi's house, the doorway was open, her eyes carefully looked in, her expression suddenly strange, the inside of the house was empty, very neat and clean …… only the deep, long sword marks on the ground, told her that the house had experienced a thrilling fight.
She also looked at the yard outside the house, the yard than the house can be much more messy, because of yesterday's rain, the ground is printed with messy footprints …… She recognized that the smaller, wearing board shoes footprints are Meng Fan's; and the two larger, sharp toed …… must be the ghost creature's. It was the ghost's.
In addition to the footprints, there were messy sword marks all over the ground, splattered dirt, and stars of fishy liquid ……
There is also a human skin thrown near the doorway, which is broken and twisted …… as if it was torn off raw in the rage of that ghostly creature!
Next to the human skin there is also a little bit of blood ……
Here clearly experienced a shocking fight, and lasted for a very short time, short enough for her to notice from, and then run over from the backyard, it was already over ……
People had also disappeared!
"Something is not right ……"
Zhang granny slowly walked into the house, her eyebrows twisted into a bulging lump, first checked inside the house, the result was that the more she checked, the paler her face became and the more rapid her breathing ……
As if she had discovered something extraordinary!
"Meng Fan ……" At this time, a girl ran in, still holding a pair of scissors in her hand, gripping it in front of her chest, trembling unceasingly, "Meng Fan . . where is everyone?"
Seeing that Meng Fan wasn't there, her eyes were suddenly wet, and her tears looked like they were about to fall.
Granny Zhang glanced at Xiao Xi and said in a deep voice, "Don't cry first …… Meng Fan he ……"
"He always says he's very powerful ……"
The girl choked, looking at the empty room, looking at the shocking sword marks, no need to think to know what happened here, her heart clenched up, as soon as she opened her mouth, she finally cried ……
"But, Grandma ah …… he is actually not powerful right, he is all bragging …… he is very stupid …… I used to give him math problems, a problem several times, and he would still come over to me and ask, "Xiao Xi, how do I solve this problem?" …… He really is too stupid, so stupid that he thinks he can solve all the problems ……"
"Xiao Xi!" Granny Zhang s voice rose solemnly, "He didn t lie to you …… He is indeed very good!"
Granny Zhang sat down holding the chair and took a deep breath, "Granny just said that she made a mistake because it suddenly occurred to her that the ghost had sucked in a large amount of Essence Yang, and I'm afraid that his cultivation had already far exceeded Meng Fan's, and it was no longer something Meng Fan could deal with …… But it seems that right now, that stupid kid is afraid that before he also retained his cultivation, this sword mark is not something that can be done at the second level of Spirit Condensation …… Moreover, things are not as simple as cultivation!"
Granny Zhang pointed to Liu Xiaoxi's bed with a complex expression, "Granny had thought that the courtyard outside was the main battlefield, but looking closely, this house is what's filled with countless killing machines ……This bed, without a trace of mess, is clearly Meng Fan didn't let that ghostly creature take a single step closer… . he should have stabbed out a sword on the bed and repelled the monster!"
She also pointed to a pot of greenery next to the bed, "This pot of flowers moved a little bit because the ghost creature endangered this place when it retreated, and while he forced the ghost creature away, he protected this pot of flowers with his hand …… There are still his fingerprints on the pot, come and see for yourself!"
Liu Xiaoxi suppressed the sadness in her heart, looked at the bed, and then looked at the pot of flowers, there is a shallow fingerprint on it, tearfully nodded her head, Grandma deduced that it should be correct.
Zhang granny pointed to the table beside her again, the corners of her mouth slightly trembled: "Later, that ghostly creature retreated to the table, placed his hand here, a piece of paper on the table top was creased …… It was here that he swung that amazing sword, a sword to the end, splitting this sword mark on the ground ……"
After a pause, she said, "This is no longer a method of using the sword, but rather like using the sword as a sword, vigorously splitting down, without the slightest regard for his own brokenness, is the path of desperation ……That's a mahogany sword ah, such a deep sword mark, such a waste of true qi, why would he do that, there's nothing on the table either. , by no means like that kid s style …… here, grandma some want to not understand!"
Liu Xiaoxi, however, listened to the tears like rain, walked to the table, spread the paper flat open, above is a poem she casually wrote down …… is exactly the one he read to her, "long dry line"!
Lang rode the bamboo horse to come, around the bed to get plums.
Live together in Changgan Li, two small without suspicion.
Granny Zhang glanced at it and sighed, "So desperate, just for a piece of broken paper …… really is a stupid boy!"
"He …… is not stupid!"
A moment of silence …… The atmosphere in the room was a little stuffy, mixed with the sound of repressed sobs …… The night wind of late fall blew into the room, a little cold …… Liu Xiaoxi clasped her hands to her chest and put the The paper was pasted in the position closest to the heart, tears fell, wiped, and then flowed out …… can not stop the look ……
Out to play Ah Fu finally returned home, drilled into the house, open round eyes looked at the two, and ran out, looking at the yard messy footprints, sniffed his nose, smelled a trace of stench …… also smelled a familiar smell ……
The mood slightly slowed down some, Zhang granny opened her mouth again, trying to make her tone sound calm: "Not only the bed, it is the flower pot, it is the broken paper …… All the furnishings in this house, that stupid boy is protecting … …Distracted so much, he must have also suffered some losses, or the condition of this house is by no means …… intact as it is at the moment. Just do so is it worth it …… a broken house only …… smashed then smashed, there is nothing more important than life ……"
Despite the calm tone, but after finishing, Liu Xiaoxi cried even more.
Perhaps the most sincere emotion is not a beautiful poem or a moving oath, but …… what he secretly did for her when she couldn t see it ……
Zhang granny stood up, a pair of withered hands gently put on the shoulders of Xiao Xi, together they walked to the outside of the house, then, Zhang granny pointed to the tattered human skin on the ground and said: "It was that sword that angered the ghost, forcing the ghost to retreat to the outside of the door, and in a rage, the ghost tore the human skin off …… revealing its true form, it decided to kill that silly boy!"
"It was also here that the silly boy was struck and sprayed blood …… It's these blood stains that are in the form of spatters." Zhang granny pointed to the blood stains on the ground, her speech speed up, "To the courtyard, that silly boy finally no longer have any worries, exerted full force, his footprints seem messy, but it is a secret of the nine palace eight trigrams of the footsteps, step by step ferocious, the sword sword, true qi agitation, in the ground cut out a road sword marks, soil splatters … …On the contrary, that ghost, footprints messy, staggering footwork, frequently hit the sword, flowed a fishy blood, under the unbeatable, ultimately escaped …… that silly boy must be trying to cut off the roots and chase that ghost to go!"
"He did all these things, and only in the blink of an eye, I still somewhat underestimated that stupid kid!" Granny Zhang's gaze appeared to be in awe and admiration, followed by some pride, "That silly boy deserves to be Granny's little master, ruthless and sentimental enough, haha ……"
After saying that, she even grinned widely.
"Grandma!" Knowing that Meng Fan was temporarily fine, Liu Xiaoxi let out a long breath and snapped, "He's spewing blood, and you're still laughing …… So when is he coming back?"
Zhang granny stopped laughing, squatted down to the ground, sniffed the foul-smelling blood, and looked grave again, "If I'm not wrong, this is the smell of an adult carrion …… According to the traces of the fight at the scene, this carrion already has considerable cultivation, but the silly boy is even more powerful, a carrion he should be able to deal with. Come on, if the chase goes well, he can definitely come back tonight ……"
"A ……" Liu Xiaoxi heard the crisis implied in her grandmother's words, "Will there be many of these things ……? "
Zhang granny sniffed and hesitated for a moment before smiling miserably, "Granny doesn't want to lie to you, rotting corpses rotting corpses, a hundred corpses become corrupted …… inevitably there won't be only one!"
