Outside Yang spring/lust county city is a big open farmland, at this time is late autumn, in the field only remains the stubble after crops harvesting, dreary. The distant place can see the continuous mountain faintly, autumn the red, yellow and green woods beauty that particularly the hills embellish. 杨春县城外是一大片开阔的农田,此时已是深秋,田里只剩作物收割后的茬子,一片萧瑟。远处隐隐能见到连绵的高山,秋天红色、黄色、绿色的树林将群山点缀的分外秀丽。 Today the colorful Yanggao photo, on the major road often can see the pedestrian, under such weather, monster major road Xiren is extremely rare, Du Kang now is member boldness because of one's skill, hurries to Donghua Town. 今天艳阳高照,官道上不时能见行人,在这样的天气下,妖怪官道袭人是极少见的,杜康如今已经是修士艺高人胆大,独自一人就向冬华镇赶去。 Du Kang has outside the city gate, depends on a pair of meat leg to hurry along earnestly, the horse that the previous time the duty rides is Hong Sihai provides, when the wolf monster comes the horses are panic, the sword wielder was fallen horse comes. Therefore, now, although more than 60 teal of silver, but has not bought horses riding instead of walking domestic animal, was worried oneself are unable to deal with the monster immediately flexibly. 杜康出得城门外,就靠一双肉腿埋头赶路,上一次出任务骑的马是洪四海提供的,狼妖现身时马匹惊慌失措,还有刀手被摔下马来。所以,如今身上虽然有六十多两银子,但也没有买马匹这种代步牲畜,担心自己在马上无法灵活应对妖怪。 Is good because , the mud major road was exposed to the sun one day by Sun yesterday, subarid, Du Kang walks is smooth, the line can also run into the caravan occasionally and hunts for the monster troops, mostly forms groups, a person like Du Kang hurries along rare. 好在,烂泥官道昨日被太阳晒了一天,已经半干,杜康走的还算顺畅,一路行来偶尔也能遇到商队和猎妖人马,大多都成群结队,少有像杜康这样一人赶路的。 The roadside often can see one type has the palm of the hand big wild flower, the natives calls it the dry lotus. 路边不时能看到一种开的有巴掌大的野花,当地人都叫它旱莲。 Why does not know, when Du Kang passed by this type of food always unconscious secretion saliva, this possibly is food that a stud bull likes. Thinks oneself have the stomach of food grass, Du Kang picks one to squeeze in the mouth conveniently, only thinks that sweet juice scatters in the mouth, is light and refreshing, like the peach, could not bear several finish eating a dry lotus. 不知为何,杜康路过这种食物时总是不自觉的分泌口水,这可能是一种牛喜欢的食物。想到自己已经拥有食草之胃,杜康随手采了一朵塞入口中,只觉一股甘甜的汁水在口中四溅,口味清新,像桃子,忍不住几口就将一个旱莲吃完。 „It seems like Cow Stomach Law also changed my sense of taste.” “看来牛胃法还改变了我的味觉。” Du Kang foot journey Jikuai, the dry lotus of roadside also finds at everywhere now. Eats the lace to hurry along, Donghua Town is the town closest to Yangchun County, finally when center the sun rushed to outside Donghua Town. 杜康如今脚程极快,路边的旱莲也随处可见。边吃花边赶路,冬华镇又是离阳春县最近的一个镇子,终于在日头正中的时候赶到了冬华镇外。 The town encircled a fence of wooden, the fence is not big, the city gate that be only about two zhang (3.33 m), by open greatly can see the crowded construction and dirty street. 镇子围了一圈木质的围墙,围墙也不高大,只有两丈左右,透过大开的城门能看到拥挤的建筑和肮脏的街道。 Du Kang spoke thoughtlessly the inquiry to ask Xie Residence to be in the town/subdues, saw a very big dwelling along the main street direct acting quickly, the white wall grey tile, several old branches stretched out from the courtyard wall, was incompatible with the surrounding ruined low construction. 杜康在镇中随口打探就问到了谢府所在,一路沿主街直行很快看到了一座很大的宅院,白墙青瓦,还有几枝老树枝从院墙内伸出,与周围破败低矮的建筑格格不入。 Sounds the front door, the quick gatekeeper appears, Du Kang demonstrated after the number and route plate and explained the purpose in coming, the gatekeeper did not notify to welcome in the institute Du Kang directly. 敲响大门,很快门房就露头,杜康展示腰牌并说明来意后,门房也不通报直接将杜康迎进了院里。 „My family master has told, the Bloodstained Cloth Society chief instructor came certainly is not possible to neglect, you first drank tea in the living room, master immediately.” The gatekeeper is smart, after Du Kang arranges, withdrew from the living room. “我家老爷早就吩咐过了,血衣会的教头来了一定不可怠慢了,您先在客厅喝茶,老爷马上就到。”门房是个机灵的,将杜康安排好后,就退出了客厅。 The side that Mr. thanks comes is quick, Du Kang in the living room the moment, saw that wore the old man who the supernumerary official took to enter the living room plumply and fair-complected, went forward on the deep bow, grabbed the hand of Du Kang to try to get close. 谢老爷来的极快,杜康在客厅了片刻,就看到一个白白胖胖身穿员外服的老头走进了客厅,一上前就深深一躬,抓住杜康的手就套近乎。 „Has seen this chief instructor, old man Xie Xian, you came finally, the evildoer/monstrous talent of Xie Residence must by the chief instructor come, except that.” “见过这位教头,老夫谢贤,您终于来了,谢府的妖孽就要靠教头来除了。” Du Kang receives to reach behind the back to look, unexpectedly is a small spindle gold, was supposing can have 12, the sigh with emotion landlord landlord is natural. In the golden income bosom, receives the matter of person wealth loyal person, Du Kang starts to inquire the situation in Xie Residence. 杜康收回手一看,竟然是一小锭金子,估摸着能有一两,不由感慨地主老财就是大方。将金子收入怀中,收人钱财忠人之事,杜康开始打听起谢府的情况。 „Below surnamed Du, does not know that these date and time Xie Residence may have what clue.” “在下姓杜,不知这些时日谢府可掌握什么线索。” „Is open about the facts Instructor Du, these days I have delivered to the county city the family, in the mansion only kept house guard and tenant farmer, but still cannot hold this evildoer/monstrous talent, even the shadow of monster has not been seeing.” “不瞒杜教头,这几日我已经将家眷送到了县城,府中只留家丁和佃户,但依然没能抓住这妖孽,甚至连着妖怪的影子都没见到过。” „Its murder is silent, must die every three days a person, now in mansion flustered, the tenant farmer had run, this way house guard must be exposed.” “其杀人无声无息,每隔三日就要死一人,如今府中人心惶惶,佃户已经跑了,再这样下去家丁也要跑光了。” Mr. thanks the Du Kang introduction backyard, this place has placed five corpses, the time that perhaps the corpse places was long, but also without entering institute Du Kang smelled odor. 谢老爷将杜康引入后院,此地已摆放了五具尸体,许是尸体摆放的时间久了,还没有进院杜康就闻到了一股恶臭。 „This was dying house guard protects the institute, I deliberately considered on the corpse possibly to have the clue, does not dare to bury them, and other chief instructors came to see to discover the useful clue.” Said that beckons with the hand, nearby house guard raises the plain white cloth of corpse top head. “这是死掉的家丁护院,我寻思着尸体上可能有线索,一直不敢埋他们,就等教头来看看能不能发现有用的线索。”说完就摆摆手,一旁的家丁就将尸体上盖的白布掀起。 Suddenly, the wicked stink in institute was stronger, five corpse whole body scarlet fruits, 一时间,院中的恶臭味更浓了,五具尸体都全身赤果, And two corpses of earliest death swelling, changes beyond all recognition, on several corpses that the attention main centralism of Du Kang is dying newly. Because the corpse is takes off/escapes Yang and dies, Du Kang examined the corpse with emphasis. 其中最早死亡的两具尸体已经肿胀起来,面目全非,杜康的注意力主要集中在新死的几具尸体上。由于尸体是脱阳而死,杜康重点查看了尸体。 Such situation lets in the Du Kang heart one happy, needs to attract the cultivation of masculine essence will not be the fierce evil spirit, the big probability will be the fox, the cat monster, butterfly monster type in the young monster stage not powerful monster. 这样的情况让杜康心中一喜,需要吸男性精气的修炼的都不会是厉害妖物,大概率是狐妖,猫妖,蝶妖这种在小妖阶段并不强大的妖怪。 „Mr. thanks, I had known fairly well, does not know when the monster will come?” “谢老爷,我已心中有数了,不知妖怪什么时候会来？” „Monster three days one, comes each time is 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, its previous time comes to be three days ago, calculates that the day also meets tonight.” “妖怪三天一来,每次来都是子时,它上次来还是三天前,算算日子今晚还会到。” „Good, Mr. thanks, all as usual, I cut certainly to kill this monster tonight.” “好,谢老爷,今晚一切照旧,我一定将这妖怪斩杀。” Du Kang suddenly discovered that Mr. thanks the look is somewhat strange, seems the hard thing to bring up, then opens the mouth: „Does Mr. thanks, plan why not proper place?” 杜康突然发现谢老爷神色有些古怪,似有难言之隐,便开口:“谢老爷,难道计划有何不妥之处？” „This...... Instructor Du, frankly, I lived in other institute in town/subdues recently at night, if tonight you need to protect coordinate, told directly Li two are.” Is saying on a finger/refers of body side robust man. “这……杜教头,实不相瞒,我最近夜间都住在镇中的别院,今夜你若需要护卫配合,直接吩咐李二便是。”说着就一指身侧的壮汉。 ...... …… The Du Kang heart said that no wonder the tenant farmers were exposed, your pillar is not, who is willing to work oneself to death for you. To come also to be frightened by the pitiful condition of corpse, such cause of death to the man was too painful, looks painful. 杜康心道,难怪佃户都跑光了,你这主心骨都不在,谁愿意替你卖命啊。想来也是被尸体的惨状吓到了,对男人来说这样的死法实在太痛了,看着都痛。 Mr. thanks and Du Kang smalltalk several, then gave a pretext has the important matter to say goodbye, wants to come not to stay in this place. 谢老爷又和杜康客套几句,便借口有要事告辞了,想来是不想呆在这个地方。 Du Kang looks to man, his heavy features, the country character face, the body is sturdy, wears a loose protecting institute clothing/taking unable to conceal muscle. 杜康看向身旁的汉子,他浓眉大眼,国字脸,身子壮实,穿一身宽松的护院服也不能掩饰一身的肌肉。 „Li Huyuan, is exhausted you to lend a hand tonight.” “李护院,今晚就劳烦您帮衬了。” „Does not dare, does not dare, you are the Bloodstained Cloth Society chief instructor, is Xie family eliminates the matter of monster to be laborious, has anything to arrange you to tell on the line.” This guy voice is vigorous, listening to him to give people in a moment feeling of the faith. “不敢,不敢,您是血衣会的教头,又为谢家除妖之事辛苦,有什么安排您吩咐就行。”这大汉嗓音浑厚低沉,听他说话就给人一种信赖之感。 Then Du Kang starts to inquire several people of murdered time carefully, the place, rushes to the situation with them, Li two can reply in good order, place that the arrangement that later guard goes on patrol, Du Kang has not thought, Li two also supplement very proper. 接下来杜康开始仔细询问几人遇害的时间,地点,与他们赶到现场的情况,李二都能回答得井井有条,之后护卫巡逻的安排,杜康没想到的地方,李二也补充得很到位。 Du Kang sighs with emotion, can work in the rich people also takes a skill, although kills the monster is not good, but the management is smart. 杜康不由感慨,能在大户人家做事也是要一身本事的,虽然杀妖不行,但办事机灵。 The following lunch dinner, Du Kang has not eaten in Xie Residence, but eats the cake that some brought, the water that drinks continually is own water bag that uses. 接下来的午饭晚饭,杜康都没有在谢府吃,只是吃了一些自己带的馕饼,连喝的水都是用的自己的水袋。 The walk rivers and lakes, do not have the blunder carefully. 行走江湖,小心无大错。 Quick, the time has arrived at the night, the entire Xie Residence is still gloomy like the ordinary day flame, the guard who only then stands night watch holds the flare to inspect in the mansion back and forth. 很快,时间已来到深夜,整个谢府依然如平日般火光暗淡,只有守夜的护卫举着火把在府内来回巡视。 „Third Brother, master feared death in other institute to go, was painstakingly we. Three days ago goes on patrol, small six followed in me behind, the labor madame in an instant not to have, waited to find the person time had been attracted.” “三哥,老爷自己怕死到别院里去住了,可是苦了咱们。三天前巡逻,小六就跟在我身后,不过一转眼的工夫人就没了,等找到人的时候已经被吸死了。” „Yes, small four, Instructor Bloodstained Cloth Society who this time comes does not know the real skill, if cannot catch the monster today, many money fathers is not dry to the father.” “是啊,小四,这次来的血衣会教头也不知道有没有真本事,要是今天抓不到妖怪,就是给老子再多的钱老子也不干了。” „, Li two came.” “嘘,李二来了。” The corner, the hand lifts Li of flare two to bring a squad to appear, two teams have said a hello, presses the original course patrol respectively. 转角处,手举火把的李二带着一支小队出现,两队打过一声招呼,各自按原定路线巡逻。 „Li two are will also flatter, conceited anything, installs to look that to whom conscientiously, who does not know that he is the wife rests.” “李二也是个会拍马屁的,牛气什么,装兢兢业业给谁看啊,谁不知道他是老婆睡上去的。” „Let alone, spunked up, when chopsticks, I do not want in our team some people dead tonight.” “别说了,都打起精神来,快子时了,今晚我不希望咱们队里有人死。” Although one line of five people in the mouth are speaking, but all looks nervous, what at this time they through is a plant quite a lot courtyard, under shining of moonlight, the shadow of branch makes threatening gestures to like the ghost. 一行五人虽然口中说着话,但全都神情紧张,此时他们通过的是一个植物颇多的院落,在月光的照耀下,树枝的阴影张牙舞爪有如鬼影。 The people are holding the flare single-handedly, is on the one hand grasping the blade of waist, in the pair of eyes glance courtyard the gloomy corner, only feared that suddenly kicks out a monster, the speech to ease the nervousness. 众人一手举着火把,一手抓着腰间的刀,双眼扫视院落中阴暗的角落,只怕突然扑出一个妖怪,说话只是为了缓解紧张的情绪。 The team goes out of this courtyard, changes course a porch to relax. 队伍走出这个院落,转进一条门廊才松了口气。 „Third Brother, I also thought that if tonight cannot catch the monster, I did not come. This way of the world human life is inexpensive, but works on farm can always mix half full, always compared with feels alarmed and anxious dead daily strongly here.” “三哥,我也想好了,今晚要是抓不到妖怪,我也不来了。这世道人命贱,但土里刨食总能混个半饱,总比天天担惊受怕死在这里强啊。” Cold wind has blown, unmanned response. 一阵冷风吹过,无人回应。 The squad like decided the body to be the same, stopped the footsteps. 小队如同被定身一样,停住了脚步。 „Third Brother, do not frighten us......” “三哥,你不要吓我们……” The squad in trembling to rustling turns head, the original team final Third Brother has disappeared. 小队在颤颤瑟瑟中回头,原先队伍最后的三哥已不见踪影。 „Monster- came......” sad and shrill shout to reverberate in Xie Residence. “妖怪-来了……”凄厉的喊声在谢府回荡。 ...... …… The Xie Residence guest room, sat cross-legged Du Kang that sat to open the eye, the pair of eyes miraculous glow flashed through together. 谢府客房,盘膝而坐的杜康睁开了眼睛,双眼一道灵光闪过。 In the world of spiritual eye, many spiritual energy mixed air/Qi confuse sea, at this time, Northeast one group azure monster qi such as the torch in darkness is striking. 在灵眼的世界中,诸多灵气杂气混淆成一片大海,此时,东北方向一团青色的妖气如黑暗中的火炬般醒目。 Du Kang sets out to push the door, does not take the common road, jumps up on the jumping up courtyard wall, steps on the courtyard wall to pursue to the monster. 杜康起身推门而出,也不走寻常路,纵身一跳就跳上院墙,踩着院墙向妖怪追去。 This monster speed is extremely fast . Moreover the familiar terrain, often in the Donghua Town disorderly tunnel moves sideways to slide out of the line of sight of Du Kang several times, if not open the spiritual eye, with losing. 这妖怪速度极快,而且熟悉地形,往往在冬华镇杂乱的巷道内几次闪身就能脱离杜康的视线,如果不是开启灵眼,早就跟丢了。 Perhaps was sees is not always able to throw away Du Kang, the monster jumped out of the Donghua Town city wall after several jumps, escaped to the ravine. 也许是见总无法甩脱杜康,妖怪在几次跳跃后跳出了冬华镇城墙,向山间逃去。 Stands in the city wall, looks town that made noise, with is running the far monster, Du Kang coldly smiles, followed to jump down the city wall to pursue. 站在城墙上,看着喧嚣起来的镇子,和正在跑远的妖怪,杜康冷冷一笑,也跟着跳下城墙追去。 Makes use of local resources, Donghua Town warms up to prepare food to depend entirely on the firewood, therefore outside the town/subdues is sparsely vegetated, Du Kang pursued one li (0.5 km) to pursue into a mountain forest, outside a stretch of open area in the forest stopped the footsteps, because the monster stopped here. 靠山吃山,冬华镇取暖做饭全靠烧柴,因此镇外草木稀疏,杜康足足追了一里地追入了一片山林,才在林中一片空地外停下了脚步,因为妖怪停在了这里。 Du Kang has not stepped into the open area, but stopped in the shadow of air-to-surface edge trees, many years of film and television, the animation, the novel repertoire told him, do not enter the battlefield that the enemy designated at will. 杜康并未踏入空地,而是停在了空地边缘树木的阴影里,多年的影视,动漫,小说套路都告诉他,不要随意走进敌人选定的战场。 Under the gloomy moonlight illumination, sees only a wear cool woman to lose a guard in the under foot, faintly visible tall and slender snake core takes back from the guard, slides into the shorts of woman. 在暗淡的月光照射下,只见一个穿着清凉的妇人将一个护卫丢在脚下,依稀可见一条细长的蛇芯从护卫身上收回,滑入妇人的短裤。 „Snake woman? Aren't you a monster?” “蛇妇？你不是妖怪？” The snake woman who Du Kang said is magic arts, after the female builds will produce a snake core to be well-known, it can instead prick within the body of opposite party in the big harmony, is extremely wise assassination magic arts. 杜康说的蛇妇是一种法术,因女性修成后会生成一条蛇芯而闻名,其可以在大和谐中反刺入对方的体内,是一种极为高明的暗杀法术。 „This young master, why you have pursued the slave not to put, wants to become friends with the slave?” “这位公子,你为何一直追着奴家不放,是想和奴家交朋友吗？” „I do not dare to make you such friend.” Du Kang said while took down the bow and arrow of conducting the back. Thinks that tall and slender snake core, Du Kang feels the pain. “我可不敢交你这样的朋友。”杜康边说边取下了背上的弓箭。想到那条细长的蛇芯,杜康就觉得痛。 „Young master, the slave is such woman, you also willing to shoot?” “公子,奴家这样的弱女子,你也舍得射吗？” The women aimed by the bow and arrow, does not move aside unexpectedly, instead in same place covering mouth chuckle. 妇人被弓箭瞄准,竟也不躲闪,反而在原地捂嘴轻笑。 At this time two people are away from, be only 30 meters, after holding the bow aiming, Du Kang loosens the bowstring without hesitation. 此时两人距离只有三十米,持弓瞄准后,杜康毫不犹豫松开弓弦。 No matter what demons and monsters, what beautiful woman evildoer's disguise, first shot one round to say again. 不管什么妖魔鬼怪,什么美女画皮,先射一发再说。 „Whiz.” The arrow arrow leans beyond one zhang (3.33 m) to plunder the body from the body of woman. “嗖。”箭矢从妇人的身侧一丈外掠身而过。 The mountain breeze sways, the full moon hangs, Du Kang only feels to send coldly, in his arrow law, missed the goal in 30 meters unexpectedly. 山风吹拂,圆月高悬,杜康只觉得心中发寒,以他箭法,竟然在三十米内射偏了。 Also very oddly. 还偏得很离谱。 „Haha...... the young master, you are really a showing tender affection person.” The women smiled, this time smiles the flowering branch to shiver all over. “哈哈……公子,你果然是个怜香惜玉之人。”妇人又笑了起来,这次笑得花枝乱颤。 This is the first time that Du Kang confronted with the cultivator, he only knows that the snake woman law is the snake core assassination technique, but has other ability, he knows nothing. 这是杜康第一次和修行者对阵,他只知道蛇妇法是蛇芯暗杀术,但是否有别的能力,他一无所知。 After this time goes back, a book of book collection pavilion building must read, the information in the fight was too important. 这次回去之后,藏书阁一楼的书一定要读,在战斗中情报实在太重要了。
