After becoming a ghost, hold the boss's thigh tightly
Chapter 16: Borrowing the life of a fox demon and meeting Maoshan Qingzheng
Mu Yang and Liu Yang, two experienced policemen, quickly decided to go to the crime scene to investigate after learning about another bizarre case. Mu Qing, who had just become the team's psychic consultant, was also full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge about such cases. She took the initiative to ask Liu Yang to go with her. Liu Yang looked at Mu Qing's determined eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement to her request.
Liu Yang drove the police car and drove Mu Qing to the crime scene. When they arrived at the scene, they saw many onlookers gathered there, talking and whispering, and the air was filled with tension and oppression. Mu Qing and Liu Yang ignored them and walked straight to the crime scene to start the investigation.
The other police officers at the scene looked at Captain Liu Yang curiously when they saw him approaching with a beautiful woman. So, they all made way to allow Mu Yang and Liu Yang to enter the crime scene smoothly.
When Mu Qing arrived at the scene, she found the door ajar and there were already police officers busy inside. She approached the door and saw that the person who reported the case was a young woman. She looked haggard and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety. She told Mu Yang and Liu Yang about her discovery:
In the morning, she came to see her boyfriend because they had a quarrel the day before, so she returned to her room at night and did not live with her boyfriend. The next day, she felt that she might have been too impulsive, so she wanted to apologize and make peace. But the door was ajar. She thought her boyfriend forgot to close the door, so she was ready to go in. However, when she opened the door, she saw an old man lying on the ground. She walked closer curiously and found that it was a man who looked like her boyfriend, but his appearance had changed drastically overnight. She was so scared that she ran out in a hurry, and it took her a long time to remember to call the police.
The team members were asking the witness some personal information about the deceased, trying to understand whether the deceased had any grudges or enemies. At the same time, Liu Yang was also investigating the scene, carefully observing every corner and not missing any details, while Mu Yang went to conduct a preliminary inspection.
When Qiu Mian saw the body, he could not help but frown. Qiu Mian smelled a strange smell, which was similar to the one he had encountered before and made him feel uncomfortable. Qiu Mian and Mu Qing looked at each other, then quickly separated, knowing the murderer in their hearts.
After a preliminary examination, Mu Yang found that the body was exactly the same as the previous one: the body was rapidly aging and the organs were failing, just like an elderly person. At this time, Mu Qing said, "Not only is the way of death the same! The murderer is the same person."
Liu Yang was stunned when he heard this, and remembered what Mu Qing had said before, and couldn't help asking: "Are you saying that it was done by a monster?"
Mu Qing nodded and said firmly: "Yes, but it is a fox demon."
Mu Yang remembered what Mu Qing had said about monsters before, and couldn't help but frowned: "Didn't they say that old monsters are not allowed to enter the world where people live at will?"
Mu Qing explained: "But a very small number of demons will disguise themselves as humans and live in the human world. Some of them will also intermarry with humans. These fox demons may have come to the human world for some purpose."
Liu Yang asked worriedly: "How do we catch them? Are they afraid of guns?"
Mu Qing thought for a while and replied, "As long as they don't use their cultivation, the gun can hurt them, but they must be suppressed before they can be shot."
Mu Yang took off his gloves, thought for a moment and then said, "Then how do we find them? If we don't close the case soon, it will cause panic."
Mu Qing took a deep breath and said, "I have a way. I will use the breath tracking technique to track the breath of the fox demon. Because the body is stained with a little of their breath." After that, she shot out a wisp of breath and used secret methods to track the source. The breath turned into a bird in the air and flew south.
"You are slow. I will send you the location when we get there." After saying that, Mu Qing took out a piece of talisman paper from her pocket and stuck it on her leg. Her figure suddenly became blurred, and then she quickly ran eastward. Seeing this, Liu Yang on the side immediately called the team members and drove the police car to follow closely.
The moment the bird flew up, Qiumian quickly followed it.
The little bird that Qiu Mian followed flapped its wings lightly and flew eastward, leading Qiu Mian away from the noisy city and into the quiet and desolate forest. The trees here were sparse, with only a few towering trees standing alone, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Along the way, Qiu Mian occasionally saw a few lively squirrels playing in the trees and birds singing happily on the branches.
Following the guidance of the bird, Qiumian went eastward into the forest. Gradually, the scene on the road began to become strange. There were some bones scattered on the ground, some human and some animal, and some messy hair, as if telling the tragic scene that had happened here.
Qiu Mian continued to move forward cautiously. Suddenly, a green mist filled the air ahead. The green mist was very dense and emitted an unpleasant smell, which made Qiu Mian feel dizzy and his vision blurred. Qiu Mian was startled and remembered the fox poison mist described in the novels he read in his previous life. So Qiu Mian immediately held his breath, took out the cleansing talisman that Mu Qing had given Qiu Mian before from his pocket, held it tightly in his hand, and silently chanted a spell to keep himself awake.
Through the blurred vision, Qiu Mian saw four or five little foxes standing on the tree, their tails raised high, their buttocks sticking out, as if they were brewing something. Sure enough, after a while, they released poisonous fog, and the green fog spread instantly. Qiu Mian was glad that he noticed the danger in time, and quickly performed the invisibility spell and gently landed on the branch.
Qiu Mian quietly listened to the conversation of the little foxes. One of the white little foxes said excitedly: "Grandma said she would treat us to delicious food today! The meat we had last time was so delicious." After that, the red tongue swept across the sharp fangs, and another fiery red fox asked worriedly: "A while ago, the little aunt came back from a serious injury. Its fur has been burned by the fire and it doesn't look so good. I don't know how serious its injury is? But the ancestor said that he would give the little aunt some nourishment, maybe we can drink some soup!" Hearing this, Qiu Mian's heart tightened, these foxes seemed to have eaten human flesh.
Just as Qiu Mian was concentrating on listening to the conversation of the little foxes, he suddenly felt a strange breath approaching. Qiu Mian looked up and saw a young man in Taoist clothes running towards him. He held a magic weapon in his hand and came to the fog with a serious face. He cast a talisman paper, and the fog immediately dispersed, revealing the little foxes on the tree. The little foxes were frightened and screamed, and ran away one after another.
Qiu Mian saw the Taoist man whispering, "The fox that escaped earlier fled in this direction. This should be her lair." After that, he continued to move forward and disappeared from Qiu Mian's sight. Qiu Mian thought to himself that the Taoist man seemed to be tracking those foxes as well. Qiu Mian decided to follow him and continue to investigate the secrets of these foxes.
Before leaving, Qiu Mian deliberately left some information to inform Mu Qing, letting her know Qiu Mian's whereabouts. Then, Qiu Mian carefully followed the Taoist man and entered the grove ahead.
In the woods, the sun shines through the sparse leaves, casting mottled shadows. Several little foxes shuttle between the light and shadows. They are agile and nimble, jumping between branches. A little fox with fiery red fur is particularly eye-catching. Its fluffy tail dances like flames in the air when it jumps. Another little white fox is more cunning. Its eyes are shining with wit, and it looks around from time to time, as if looking for something.
As they continued to move forward, an unpleasant smell of fox suddenly came towards them. This smell was pungent and disgusting. Qiu Mian was glad that as a ghost, his sense of smell could be slightly weakened, but the man obviously couldn't stand this smell. He frowned, took out two nasal plugs from his sleeves, and quickly stuffed them into his nostrils to try to block the unpleasant smell. Then, he took a deep breath and continued to move forward.
A few minutes later, he stopped beside a big tree. Qiumian also stopped when he saw this. At this time, the foxes around him suddenly became unusually quiet. They all crawled on the ground, their bodies close to the ground, and their tails were tightly clamped between their legs. Their eyes were full of awe and piety, as if they were welcoming a respected person.
As a deep and loud voice sounded, a ball of green energy burst out from the tree hole. After circling in the air for a while, this ball of energy turned into a huge fox head. The fox head's eyes flashed with a faint green light, and it majestically scanned everything around it. The foxes that were originally crawling on the ground also raised their heads at this moment, looking at this huge fox head with admiration.
One of the little foxes, with snow-white fur, slowly stood up, bent its front legs, and lowered its tail, as if performing an ancient ritual. It shouted in a childish voice: "Greetings, ancestors!" Then, the other little foxes followed suit, and the voices echoed in the woods.
At this moment, Qiu Mian seemed to see a mysterious and solemn ceremony being performed. These foxes welcomed the gods in their hearts with their most sincere respect.
The green energy gradually dissipated in the air, and then, an old woman with a green cane slowly appeared in front of them. Although her face was old, her eyes were unusually bright, flashing with the cunning and depth unique to foxes. As she walked, the little foxes retreated behind the old fox, as if they had found a safe haven.
On the right side of the old man stood a pale woman in red. Although her face was pale, her eyes showed a hint of determination. Qiu Mian guessed that she should be the fox that was injured before. She quietly served the old man, as if she was his right-hand man.
"Children, you must be getting impatient waiting." The old woman said in an old and kind voice. Although her voice was low, it was full of power, which made the foxes around feel very relieved.
Hearing the old man's words, the little foxes' eyes immediately lit up. They gathered around the old man, some rubbed their heads against his legs, and some rolled on the ground, showing their intimacy and admiration for the old man.
"Open the feast!" Following the old man's order, a rooster crowed. Qiu Mian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dozen chickens being driven out. These chickens were dull and fat, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding foxes.
However, when Qiu Mian carefully observed these chickens, he found that something was wrong with them. Their eyes were empty and lifeless, as if they were controlled by some kind of force. Qiu Mian couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart, are these chickens really for eating?
At this moment, a loud shout rang out: "You bold monster! You actually eat humans!" Qiu Mian looked up and saw that the Taoist man had jumped off the tree. He held a sharp sword in his left hand and a talisman in his right hand. His eyes were full of anger and justice, as if he wanted to catch all these foxes in one fell swoop.
"Human flesh!" After hearing what the Taoist said, Qiu Mian looked at the chickens again. Only then did Qiu Mian realize that there were human souls hidden in the bodies of those chickens! No wonder Qiu Mian felt something was wrong!
"Master," the fox ancestor asked calmly, "we foxes have been guarding the forest and practicing hard, not caring about worldly affairs. I wonder what you want from me?" Although her voice was calm, it revealed a power that should not be underestimated. Qiu Mian knew that a war was about to break out.
The Taoist's anger burned like a raging fire, his eyes were ignited by the flames, and sparks of anger flashed. He tightly grasped the sword in his hand, and the sword body flashed a cold light under the reflection of the setting sun. The talisman in his other hand was tightly grasped by him, as if he wanted to crush it and release a more powerful force.
"You bold monsters! How dare you eat humans? You are totally devoid of conscience! If I don't catch you all today, it will be against the will of heaven!" The Taoist's voice rolled in like thunder, shaking the leaves rustling, as if even the earth was shaking.
