Just like pushing down dominoes, the cracks spread in all directions at an alarming speed. At this moment, I was also honest. Although the female ghost was scary, she was at least more friendly to me than this unknown ghost place. I let her drag me back quickly.
Boom!
The unknown in the center of the crack suddenly exploded and burst, and the broken tiles flew everywhere. Some hit the glass behind. The double-layer glass was cracked all over in an instant. You can imagine how great the impact was.
A black shadow rushed out from the flying fragments. Its speed was too fast. In addition, the light in this room was not very good. I couldn't see its specific appearance clearly. I could only vaguely see that it was tall and seemed to be covered with black hair.
The speed at which the female ghost pulled me back was already very fast, but it was still dwarfed by this black shadow. In just a few breaths, the black shadow had caught up.
The female ghost was also straightforward and threw me away without hesitation. She pushed forward with both hands. I saw her two arms stretched like rubber bands and slapped the black shadow in a flash. I heard a muffled "bang" and the black shadow was immediately knocked over and fell dozens of meters away!
Dengdengdeng!
There were rapid footsteps on the stairs. Zhang Daoxuan and Zhang Xinya didn't know where they ran to. They finally arrived at this time.
When the female ghost saw Zhang Daoxuan coming, she immediately fled away, passed through the glass, jumped into the backyard, and disappeared without a trace after a few jumps.
"Interesting!"
Zhang Daoxuan held the long sword upside down and looked at the back of the female ghost. I don't know what he thought of. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes fell on the monster covered with black hair. The other party was getting up from the ground at this time, with stiff limbs and a sense of machinery.
Zhang Daoxuan threw the ancient sword in his hand directly. His movements were very casual, but the ancient sword seemed to have eyes, and it rushed towards the black-haired monster with great precision. At the moment when the other party stood up, it pierced through its head with a "puff", and the remaining power did not diminish, nailing the other party directly to the ground.
The black-haired monster twitched a few times and was completely motionless. Only the place where the ancient sword pierced was "sizzling" with green smoke.
A crisis was resolved just like that.
I looked a little dazed, still with lingering fears, but I was really curious about what it was, and followed Zhang Xinya silently.
This was a monster with a foul smell all over its body. From the shape, it was no different from an ordinary person, but its skin was covered with black feathers the size of fish scales, white hair and red eyes, and a mouth full of fangs, with a very strong fishy smell.
"What is this?"
I scratched my head and tried to recall the legendary dirty things, but none of them matched the one in front of me. This thing didn't look like a corpse, a ghost, or a demon. I was really unsure for a moment.
Zhang Xinya had her uncle's good genes and was very brave. I had never noticed that she had this trait before. Facing such a stinking evil thing, she actually squatted down and looked at it carefully. In the end, she even put her green jade fingers into the feathers on the monster's neck and picked out a shiny thing from it.
It was a necklace, shining with gold.
"Interesting."
Zhang Xinya raised her lips slightly and said to me: "It seems that your classmate is not a human?"
"Xing Wei?"
My brain was a little insufficient, and I hesitated: "Explain it clearly."
Zhang Xinya took out a photo from her pocket and handed it to me, saying: "Here, take a closer look, and then you will know what I am talking about."
This is a family photo. There are only three people in the photo. Xing Wei is among them. On his left and right sides are a middle-aged man and woman. There is a shadow of this man and woman between Xing Wei's eyebrows. They should be his parents.
In the photo, Xing Wei's father is wearing a shirt with the top button unbuttoned. You can see a gold necklace around his neck.
"Is this monster Xing Wei's father?"
I was a little horrified and said: "Is he a corpse and turned into a black evil?"
The black evil I am talking about is a kind of zombie.
People live with one breath, and they die with one breath. If they die but they don't stop breathing, there will be problems. They are likely to rise up and become zombies. Zombies absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and their cultivation becomes deeper and deeper. Soon, their bodies will be covered with black hair, which is called black evil by the people.
Dong!
Zhang Xinya hit me hard on the forehead and said unhappily: "Donkey hair stuffed in your ears? What black evil, you are still the Black Mountain Old Demon, what I mean is that your classmate's family is not human, this thing is called Yumin, my uncle gave me a complete collection of strange things before, it said that Yumin is a kind of strange monster that has existed for a very long time, living in 36 countries overseas, they have long heads, feathers on their bodies, white hair and red eyes, do you think it looks like this thing in front of you?"
I was still a little confused, mainly because I couldn't accept it. If you say that people turn into ghosts or corpses after death, I can accept it. If you say that animals become spirits, I will accept it. Anyway, the things I have come into contact with in the past two days have overturned my three views, but now inexplicably there is another thing that is neither human nor animal and becomes a thing. It is really difficult to understand what kind of existence it is.
Zhang Daoxuan had already pulled out the sword from the monster's head, picked up the monster with the tip of the sword, turned it over, and then poked the left and right sides of the other side's spine, where there were obviously two more bones.
"Originally there should be two wings here, but they didn't grow out."
Zhang Daoxuan said lightly: "This shows that this family of feathered people is not that powerful, and they have degenerated too much!"
According to Zhang Daoxuan, the truly powerful feathered people will grow wings on their backs. Not only can they fly, but they are also proficient in witchcraft. They are very powerful, and the essence of their whole body is in this pair of wings.
Seeing that I was still confused, he gently explained to me that in the final analysis, there are only eight words-the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things!
Corpses, ghosts, demons, these are only the largest proportion of these evil spirits. In addition, there are some alien tribes, which are similar to jackals, tigers and leopards. They can be said to be some rare species. Feathered people are one of them. All such things are powerful and no different from ghosts and gods. Now they are basically invisible. If there are any, they will shrink in the deep mountains and old forests and dare not come out. Like Xing Wei's family, they disguise themselves as humans and mix in the crowd. It is really rare!
"This thing has existed for a long time. Some people even think they are our ancestors!"
Zhang Xinya came up to me with a mysterious look and added: "These aliens appeared earlier than us humans. When we were still monkeys, they had already gathered in the mountains. For example, the Yumin people were very active in the 36 overseas countries in ancient times. There were many of them at that time. Many ancient books mentioned them. They were absolutely bandits, plundering everywhere, and they were poisonous. However, after the rise of humans, they basically disappeared, especially after the emergence of the feudal dynasty. The Yumin people never appeared again. I didn't expect that they have not yet become extinct, and there is a nest next to you!"
I looked at the corpse in front of me with a complicated expression.
Xing Wei's father is a Yumin, so he... should also be this kind of thing!
With this gene in his body, he is much more powerful than me, a half-baked ritual official. Zhang Xinya also said just now that the Yumin people are proficient in witchcraft...
To put it bluntly, he knows more than me, why does he need me for those little things at home?
Unless...
But I couldn't figure it out. I had no money and no skills. What was the point of him harming me?
A nameless anger rolled in my chest. I looked at my paper-like hands and felt confused for the first time. I couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of me. I was in the center of the vortex storm, feeling powerless.
"You will understand some things later. As for your classmate, I believe he is still alive and has already escaped. The reason why his father stayed is because his blood was almost drained out and he was sure to die. The truth will come out one day and it will come to you. Keep your "why" in your heart and live well to have a chance to ask it."
Zhang Daoxuan looked at the broken ground, where a dark passage was left. Xing Wei's father climbed up from there. He stared at the tunnel with a faint gaze and smiled, "There should be some clues below. Follow me and let's see what your classmate is up to!"
His hand reached out in front of me. When I looked up, I met his eyes. Those eyes were deep and sparkling with wisdom. There was a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, which made my cold heart inexplicably warm.
Then, I nodded heavily and reached out to hold his hand. Those hands were heavy and powerful. With a light lift, he pulled me up.
It was just a simple action, but at that moment I felt like crying. No one understands the feeling of being in despair and betrayal when someone pulls you out of the mud. I even have a hunch that he just pulled me out, and I will never be able to repay him in my lifetime...
