Chapter 183: Cut off
In the quiet Zhuangzi, Chen Ming sat quietly, gradually falling into deep thought.
With the visitor's explanation, he quickly figured out what happened.
"The maid at my uncle's place disappeared. She said she encountered a ghost, but she couldn't even find her body..."
"Yes, it is...."
The visitor's face was pale, his body was trembling, and his speech was somewhat unclear: "As a result, a lot of strange things happened in the house during this period, and several people went crazy."
"The master has also been having nightmares, so he had no choice but to ask me to find the eldest son."
"I see."
Chen Ming nodded casually and said, "I'll go over there later."
After all, Chen Yu was his uncle, and if something happened now, he couldn't just ignore it.
It just so happened that he was alone here during this period of time and had nothing to do with worldly matters, so it would be nice to go and have a look.
That afternoon.
"Is this where it is?"
After getting off the carriage and looking at the narrow alleys around him, Chen Ming spoke calmly.
Next to him was a girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The girl was young, wearing a sarong, and her appearance could only be considered ordinary. Standing in this place, she was trembling all over.
She seemed to be mentally disturbed, her face was pale and bloodless, and she could not help but tremble as she stood here. When she spoke occasionally, her voice was trembling, and she could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.
This is the person who witnessed that day. It is said that she was the lucky one of the two maids who survived. During this period, she was mentally disturbed. She often stared at the wall in a daze and did not respond for a long time.
Before coming here, Chen Ming also tested it, and finally found that there was something extra on her body. There was an aura of participation remaining on her body, which was cold, strange, and ominous, and seemed to affect her spirit.
When he walked to the alley, Chen Ming wanted to take the girl in to take a look, but the girl seemed to be crazy, with fear in her eyes and crazy behavior, like a madman.
Even if someone was dragging her, they couldn't take her one step forward, let alone let her take Chen Ming to the place where the previous incident happened.
"Let her take it outside."
Looking at the girl's appearance, Chen Ming said casually: "I'll go over and take a look."
"Aren't you going to send two people to follow you?"
Beside him, a tribesman was a little worried and asked.
"No need."
Chen Ming shook his head and expressed his refusal.
The power of evil things is hard to say, but they are often the weirdest.
With Chen Ming's body as Guiyuan, he has no worries about protecting himself, but it would be troublesome to carry him around.
With these thoughts in mind, he walked into the long and narrow alley.
The long and narrow alley looks like an ordinary old alley. Although it looks very long, it is narrow and dilapidated, and it is filled with a sense of twilight and coldness.
Old houses are scattered around, dividing the alley into different directions. At first glance, it seems a bit complicated.
Chen Ming walked among them, quietly feeling the feeling.
After a while, he walked to an intersection, then turned around and looked at a corner of the wall.
On the old walls, patches of dark green moss grew there, as if green hair had grown on the walls.
Between the dense moss, once a faint color emerged, it caught Chen Ming's eyes.
It was a small piece of blood, and it had already dried up by now, but it shouldn't take too long, only two or three days at a time.
I just don't know if the blood stain was left by the maid in Chen Yu's house or by someone else.
There's not just one victim around here.
According to the investigation results sent by Chen Ming, more than ten people have disappeared in this place in just a few days, which has caused panic in a small area. However, because the time was too short, the impact was not too great.
The missing people include men and women, old and young. Like the maid in Chen Yu's house, most of them got into trouble after walking into this alley.
However, the situation in this alley is strange. Even if you enter this alley, some people will die and some will not. Unlike the evil spirits in other places, as soon as you see them, you will be finished immediately.
There may be some kind of pattern in this.
Elsewhere in the alley, Chen Ming gained something.
He found a wall.
On the wall, there were layers of jet-black ash, staining it and turning it into a deep black, as if it had been burned by fire.
Chen Ming stretched out his hand to wipe away the gray on it, but in the end he couldn't help but frown.
After the gray on the wall was erased, some inexplicable lines were revealed, which finally converged into a Buddha sitting on the ground, naked and looking like he was laughing.
The appearance of the Buddha is very exaggerated, and the lines look very distorted, like a child's graffiti. The entire Buddha's head takes up half of the size, which looks completely out of proportion and has a strange and weird feeling.
Looking carefully at the portrait of the Buddha, Chen Ming squinted his eyes, and there were golden threads in his eyes. The Buddha's power rose faintly, blessing his eyes, helping him see through the illusion and see the truth in an instant.
From the perspective of Buddha Eyes, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and layers of faint black mist rose up, like a real life form, whistling there.
In front of his eyes, the Buddha's eyes opened. A pair of pure black eyes looked strangely at Chen Ming, staring at him.
From those eyes, Chen Ming felt a violent and cruel emotion, as well as an endless desire to kill, which gave him a vague feeling of déjà vu.
Soon, he recalled the source of this feeling.
It is his old Chen family home in Changzhou.
Back then, when he had just returned from King Wu's world, when he returned to the Chen family's old house, there was a lot of evil going on in that place.
He eliminated the evil spirits in his home and then searched the old house. He once saw many terrifying things in an old house, as if he had seen the entrance to hell.
But now, the feeling the Buddha gave him was the same as the feeling he had in the old house.
He was thinking about this in his mind. The next moment, he looked to the side with some confusion. Then the Buddha power surged all over his body, and Buddha lights appeared on the surface of his body. They were extremely soft, but also extremely sacred, making him look like
As divine and majestic as the birth of Buddha into the world.
A big pale hand just put on his shoulder, trying to grab his throat, but it was directly illuminated by the Buddha's light, and it was set on fire as if it was being roasted, with large wounds and ulcers appearing on it.
, revealing the white bones behind it, and then suddenly retracted it with a sound.
Chen Ming exerted force on his legs, and his figure disappeared quickly like lightning. His body rushed out in a certain direction, trying to catch the owner of the big hand.
The figure was much faster than he expected. He only saw a rickety figure wearing a raincoat turning around, and then the whole person disappeared.
Following the direction in which the figure disappeared, he rushed forward and finally came to an inexplicable corner.
"dead end?"
Looking at the completely blocked alley in front of him, Chen Ming frowned.
"Child...child..." A slight murmur sounded in my ears.
Where Chen Ming's spiritual sense was covering him, a shadow appeared inexplicably at the corner.
He looked in that direction. Not far away, a rickety figure wearing a raincoat sat there quietly. His figure was thin, lonely and wandering.
In the narrow and cold alley, a person suddenly appeared in a place where no one should be. If someone discovered this scene, it would probably scare a large number of people to death. No matter how brave they were, they would be afraid and subconsciously stay away.
Chen Ming had no fear at all. His face was calm from beginning to end, and he looked at the people on the ground calmly.
In order to see more clearly, he started to walk forward and stopped only two meters away from the figure. He stretched out his hand, preparing to lift off the man's raincoat to see what he really looked like.
boom.
A cold, pale hand stretched out from the side and accurately grabbed Chen Ming's arm, temporarily defeating his plan.
At his feet, the rickety figure slowly raised his head, revealing a rotten, hollow face, looking straight at him.
Looking at her appearance, Chen Ming was not surprised, but smiled.
"You finally stopped hiding."
As soon as he finished speaking, a long knife was unsheathed.
The long knife is pure black. It looks very rough and has a poor image, but it is very useful for dealing with evil spirits.
This is a long sword that Chen Ming collected from the fragments of divine weapons in the past. Although it has a poor image, it has some divine weapon aura on it and can be used to kill evil spirits.
This is the first time this knife has been used since it was built.
boom!!
The divine power was formless and formless, bombarding down with a bang. In the alley, Chen Ming's whole body was glowing, and the acupoints all over his body were vibrating. There was a vaguely huge concussive force coming from his body.
Cut it off with this knife.
Chapter completed!
