hell in disguise

Mrs. Zhao really set up a family banquet for Yan Fei and Tan Yangzi. As a female family member, it is against the etiquette to drink at the same table as a man, but Mrs. Zhao seems to be careless.Perhaps women from the Zhao family are more open-minded than ordinary people, so her daughter Zhao Xijun is also generous, treating others like a man.

During the dinner, Mrs. Zhao was still attentive, and she seemed to have a little bit of powder on her face.Although it is nearly fifty years old, it is well maintained and still has a mature and elegant charm.She was very polite to Tan Yangzi, but she smiled brighter to Yan Fei, and there was still a hint of infatuation in her eyes, but it was much lighter than in the daytime.

I think this change of love string is also time-sensitive. After time, the other party's love string will eventually return to its original state.

Yan Fei knew that he had to hurry up, otherwise, if he didn't touch her again tonight, he might return to his previous attitude tomorrow.So he mentioned it instead of Tan Yangzi, saying that he could pay his last respects to Zhao Yuanwai's remains.

Mrs. Zhao looked very embarrassed, and some hesitated to say that Zhao Yuanwai's last appearance was not very elegant, and it would be better not to see him.

Tan Yangzi didn't say much, just silently observed Mrs. Zhao's expression.There were traces of the head-dropping Gu on her body, but she didn't show any signs of being infected by the Gu, so it was a bit strange.

Could it be that she turned love into hatred and played a trick on her husband?

Later, Yan Fei begged several times, and even offered his doggy eyes that made Tan Yangzi confuse every time, Madam Zhao couldn't help but immediately agreed.Watching the whole process, Tan Yangzi was furious in his heart, holding back all his strength to teach this brat a lesson, the chopsticks were all rattled by him.But fortunately, he is very good at putting on a cold and expressionless face, so ordinary people can't see anything.

After drinking tea, they followed to the mourning hall.Madam ordered someone to push the coffin down a little...

It had been less than seven days since he had been dead, but it was summer night after all, and the corpse had already begun to emit a rotten smell.As soon as the coffin was opened, the stench with a hint of fishy sweetness immediately permeated the room.Mrs. Zhao had already backed away, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeve in disgust, not daring to look into the coffin.

However, Yan Fei and Tan Yangzi had already seen so many disgusting scenes in the world and hell beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so naturally they would not have much reaction when they saw a dead person.But for ordinary people, Zhao Yuanwai's death is indeed too ugly.His skin was a bulging blue-gray, and there were large black corpse spots floating on his face and neck.Because the support of the muscles has been lost, the skin and flesh have collapsed.And his expression added a bit of horror and hideousness to this rotten ugliness. His eyes were so wide that they were already covered with a foggy film like dead fish.His mouth was also wide open, his jaw seemed to fall off, and his entire face was stretched and deformed. The black tongue in his mouth was stuck in his throat, like a sticky slug.

It was an extremely terrified face, and he must have seen something terrifying before he died.

But other than that, his neck was not long, it was even a bit stubby, and there was no trace of a red line.It seems that he was frightened to death, rather than being possessed by the head drop Gu.Yan Fei looked up at Tan Yangzi.Tan Yangzi nodded.They thought of the same person—the concubine named Caizhu.

When Tan Yangzi went to Caizhu's room yesterday, he was affected by the corpse candle and couldn't see Caizhu's face, so he didn't notice her neck.However, I heard that Caizhu was also frightened, and then fell ill and became weak.If Zhao Yuanwai was scared to death, could it be because he saw Caizhu's head detached?

After all, it's not unheard of for flying heads to scare people to death.

Just at this moment, another little servant girl ran in and hurriedly said to Mrs. Zhao, "The doctor came just now and said that my aunt's condition is not very good... Do you want to prepare..."

When Tan Yangzi and Yan Fei heard this, they became more and more sure of their guesses.After the two said goodbye to Mrs. Zhao, they returned to the room to discuss.Tan Yangzi said, "Tonight, you and I will keep an eye on the room of the colorful beads. Flying headman has been leaving the body around the middle of the night."

So when it was approaching the third watch, the two of them hid in a sycamore tree near the small courtyard.The luxuriant leaves can just cover the two of them.The drum of the third watch had already sounded, and the whole courtyard of the Zhao family was deadly silent, and even the young servants who were watching the house last night dozed off.And this small courtyard is even more unusually quiet, almost desolate, and only the swaying clump of evening primrose still has a little life.There was a gap in the window above the tuberose, and it was dark inside without any sound.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and both master and apprentice were a little irritable.But at this moment a gust of wind blew, Tan Yangzi felt that the scales on the ghost dormant in the body suddenly stood up, a chill climbed up the back, and even the hairs stood upright.He immediately tensed up and looked around.

But at the corner of the short alley outside the small courtyard, a dark thing floated out vaguely.

Tan Yangzi whispered, "Here we come!"

Yan Fei hurriedly followed Tan Yangzi's line of sight, and also saw the weird black thing.Appears to be a sphere, but is covered with fur, with a sinuous strip trailing behind it.Yan Fei narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.The thing was getting closer and closer, and he could see it more clearly, Yan Fei suddenly felt a chill.

The spherical object was the head of a man, his eyes were closed, he seemed to be in deep sleep, but there was a strange and unnatural smile on his mouth.His hair was disheveled and floating at the back of his head, and the thin, long and extremely soft noodle-like thing...it seemed to be his neck...

The head came around the corner and hovered in the air for a while, as if hesitating.Then it seemed to be frightened suddenly, and quickly retreated.

At this moment, the sound of squeaks in the silent night was very distinct. Tan Yangzi and Yan Fei looked away, only to see that the slightly gaped window in the small courtyard was opened a little wider, slowly, looking out from the darkness. A pale face came out.

It was a woman's face, with bluish-white skin, not pretty, but because of her youth, she was still pretty.It's just that this face still has its eyes closed, and the corners of its mouth are raised, with that weird and unnatural smile.Long black hair hung down the sides of the face and swept down among the tuberose bushes below.

It looked like she was just looking around through the window with her eyes closed.But then her head got deeper and longer, and finally flew out completely.The moment it completely flew out of the window frame, a flesh-colored bug-like thing could be seen shrinking back, it must be her neck...

The colorful bead's head flew straight out of the small courtyard, into the backyard, and disappeared in the direction of the human room.Tan Yangzi and Yan Fei quickly jumped down from the tree and entered Caizhu's room.I saw a woman's body lying neatly in the quilt, but without a head.The neck is much longer than the average person, and the cross-section is very neat. You can see the intact trachea and blood vessels, and there is no drop of blood.

"It seems that she was the one who was poisoned, and then she was infecting other people." Yan Fei said, "Tell me, is it that Mrs. Zhao did it? Then how did Yuanwai Zhao die?"

"Ms. Zhao said that Mr. Zhao had a heart attack. Maybe he was frightened to death when he saw the separation of Caizhu's body and head." Tan Yangzi thought for a while, "In this case, I have to go back to hell to get the lost head. Come on, Dan, otherwise we won't be able to separate the flying headman from the bodies of these infected humans."

Yan Fei hurriedly said, "Okay, then let's leave quickly?"

"No, I'll go by myself. You stay here and try to prevent Feitouman from infecting more people." Tan Yangzi said, "I'll be back soon."

However, Yan Fei's face suddenly collapsed, "...you said the same thing when you went back to hell by yourself last time...and the result?"

"...The situation was different last time! This time I just took some medicine!"

"Who knows if there will be another mistake. Master, you let me guard here, and I don't know how to stop the flying head man?"

"You just need to keep your eyes on those heads, use the soul bell to confuse their hearing, and make them lose their sense of direction. Maybe I will come back without waiting until it gets dark tomorrow. If Mrs. Zhao asks during the period, you can Just say I'm out to discuss business."

Yan Fei was still unwilling, folded his arms, and stopped talking.Seeing that he was making a fuss, Tan Yangzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then I'll stay, you go back and get it?"

"That's not the same! Besides, I'm gone, Mrs. Zhao, or what if Miss Zhao takes a fancy to you!"

"You still have the guts to say it! I don't know who is the one who has been luring others to take a fancy to me!" Tan Yangzi felt a little regretful when he was done.

Yan Fei was also choked, so he had no choice but to reply, "This is for work!"

"I have worked alone for more than 300 years, and I have never had such a need!"

"...Okay, okay, if you don't like it, then I won't use this trick in the future!"

Tan Yangzi was stunned, coughed a few times, and turned his back, "I just said it casually, you don't have to take it seriously. You should use it when performing tasks, but be careful and be careful."

The master and apprentice were silent for a while in embarrassment, but Yan Fei showed weakness first and tugged at the master's sleeve, "Then you should come back early."

Tan Yangzi also softened his tone, reached out and rubbed his head, "Take care of my body, don't let outsiders see it."

............................................................

After Wen Na returned to Fengdu, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right.

The busiest streets in Wuchang Mansion suddenly seemed to be quite empty. The restaurants and restaurants on both sides used to have many black, white, green and red Wuchang who were on vacation or skipped work, but this time there were very few of them. Ye Youshen and Ma Mian, who opened the shop, wiped the tables and calculated the accounts with sad faces, and some even closed the shop altogether.

Jian Na grabbed a night tour god and asked, "Why are there so few people in the store today?"

Ye Youshen gave him a blank look, "You don't even know about such a big thing?"

Qian Na shook his head and said, "What's the matter?"

"Heavenly Court sent a god to do some inspections, and all impermanence, no matter what color, was thrown out."

Qian Na frowned slightly, "What Shangxian?"

"It's Changgeng Xingjun who came. Even King Yan Mo, who hasn't shown up very much, came to receive him in person. There are eleven gods and gods in the whole Feng. We young people are all on alert day and night, and no one is there. Dare to be idle.

Now, even Jinna couldn't help opening her eyes wide.Changgeng Xingjun, that is an immortal who is like the right and left hand of God Ziwei.Living above the Lihen Heaven, he seldom even goes to the Taoli Heaven on weekdays.Now why did they condescend to come to their Yemotian now?

That Ye Youshen said, "It seems that something happened. Anyway, he brought Lihentian's edict, saying that he found traces of Bo Xun's remnant party in the world, and asked All Wuchang to go out and search. Once he found any suspicious whereabouts, he would report back immediately, and if he found anything suspicious If you see the Sutra of the Truth of the Six Desires, you must immediately bring it back and hand it in. Anyone who dares to hide it will be dealt with as a collaborator.”
