Mortal bone

"It turns out that Sister Qingmei is also a hard-working person just like me. Since you don't dislike her, you can live in my yard tonight."

Xu Taiping nodded sympathetically.

When Liu Qingmei heard the words, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face, and there was a flash of excitement in her eyes.

"Thank you, Little Hero of Taiping. When Qingmei's injury recovers, Qingmei will definitely bring a generous gift to thank you, Little Hero of Taiping, for saving her life."

With tears in her eyes, Liu Qingmei said gratefully.

"Sister Qingmei, that monster wolf might still be lying in wait. I opened the courtyard door rashly, maybe it could get in. Why don't you turn around and watch the surroundings for me, and then rush in quickly after I open the door. It's more secure."

Xu Taiping said to Liu Qingmei with a vigilant face.

Liu Qingmei was slightly taken aback when she heard this, then nodded repeatedly and said:

"Taiping, you're right. I'll help you keep an eye on it right now. You'll let me know when you open the door."

After saying this, Liu Qingmei quickly turned around.

And the moment she turned her head away, the gentle expression on Liu Qingmei's face disappeared like a face-changing expression, and instead revealed a cruel expression, then raised the corners of her mouth, and whispered in an inaudible voice:

"It looks cautious, but it's actually dull. It's ridiculous that you didn't notice it when you were about to die."

But just as she said these words, the roots of her ears trembled, and a crisp sound of the bowstring being tightened came into her ears.

"you!……"

"Whoosh!"

Liu Qingmei was about to run away, but the sound of arrows piercing the air had already exploded behind her, and an arrow covered in frost pierced straight through her chest.

"you wanna die……"

"Whoosh!"

Looking at the arrow in her chest, Liu Qingmei roared with a livid face, but just after she said the roar, another sharp arrow pierced through the air, piercing her throat.

At this moment, Liu Qingmei had already turned her head, her eyes happened to meet the young man standing on the courtyard door behind her, and she followed her and asked in disbelief:

"How...how did you notice it?"

"Whoosh!"

Xu Taiping raised his hand and shot another arrow, the arrow directly pierced Liu Qingmei's forehead, leaving a hole the size of a fist.

"Sister, remember to change into a pair of suitable shoes when you go out to collect medicine next time."

Under Liu Qingmei's angry gaze, Xu Taiping continued to nock his arrow and draw his bow, while speaking calmly.

As if she had received a great humiliation, Liu Qingmei suddenly became angry from embarrassment, regardless of the injuries on her body, she jumped up suddenly, and then used her suddenly swollen claws to grab Xu Taiping who was standing on the top of the courtyard gate.

"boom!"

Before Xu Taiping could make a move, a cyan light popped out from the barrier in the small courtyard, like a heavy slap in the face, it knocked Liu Qingmei who hadn't even been killed by three arrows, and flew out backwards.

"what!……"

Liu Qingmei who fell to the ground suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Immediately, a stream of black smoke was spit out from her mouth, and then the black smoke turned into a black whirlwind, rolling up a cloud of dust in front of the courtyard.

"Boy, unless you don't come out of this small courtyard again, sooner or later it will fall into my hands. At that time, I will let you live or die!"

In the black whirlwind, a man's roar sounded with a sharp voice and a ruthless tone.

"I don't seem to have offended you, why do you want to kill me?"

It was the first time Xu Taiping had encountered such a monster, and he was trying to calm himself down. While he was questioning the monster, he pulled the bowstring in his hand again.

"You'll find out soon enough!"

Accompanied by a burst of wild laughter, the black whirlwind whizzed out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Could this be the spirit ghost mentioned in the jade slips?"

Xu Taiping looked at the direction where the black whirlwind dissipated and muttered to himself.

According to the jade slips, in the mountain forest where the disciples of the outer sect lived, apart from the monsters in the deep mountains, there are also spirits and ghosts haunting them.

And these spirits and ghosts often like to possess some wild beasts or corpses of dead people, and then lure other living people, sucking their flesh and blood and anger to practice.

Because they are all spirit monsters and have no body, so if they want to kill them completely, only some spells can do it.

"With such a monster hiding in the dark and attacking secretly, it will be a little troublesome to hunt around in the future. The most important thing is that I don't know anything about him yet."

Xu Taiping glanced at the corpse on the ground, then frowned slightly.

It is reasonable to say that this situation can be reported to the Zongmen, but after this period of understanding, he is very clear that even if it is reported to the Zongmen, no one will come to check.

In his eyes, his registered disciples of the outer sect are dispensable existences, and he will not spend too much energy on them.

"call……"

Just when Xu Taiping was having a headache about how to guard against that ghost, suddenly another gust of wind blew up at the gate of the courtyard.

At this time, the sky has completely darkened, so when the overcast wind blows, it feels particularly penetrating.

"Could it be that the ghost came so soon?"

Xu Taiping immediately raised his arrow and opened his bow with a vigilant expression, looking around.

"Young man, I am here."

But when Xu Taiping found nothing, dots of green fireflies suddenly flew out from the female corpse in front of the door, and finally turned into a nearly transparent female figure.

This phantom is exactly the same as the corpse on the ground.

"You still dare to show up?"

Xu Taiping aimed the arrow in his hand at the phantom of the woman.

Before the freezing period, although the bow and arrow in the hand could not kill the ghosts and souls, the arrows wrapped in the true energy of the remnant clouds could still cause some damage to them. This point was also mentioned by Ziyang Zhenjun in his lectures.

"Young man, spare your life, young man, please forgive me, the little girl was only coerced by that ghost, and she had no choice but to come here to lure you out, young man."

The soul of the woman repeatedly begged for mercy.

"A ghost?"

Seeing that her tone did not seem to be fake, Xu Taiping heard her reveal the identity of the previous ghost, so he moved the bow and arrow in his hand to one side.

"Yes, that's exactly a ghost. The little girl was harmed by him at that time, and became his servant, and was humiliated by it every day."

The female ghost gritted her teeth when she spoke, and her eyes were full of remorse and resentment. It seemed that she really hated the ghost.

But with the lesson just now, Xu Taiping will naturally not believe her one-sided words, let alone leave the hospital to see her.

"Young man, you don't have to worry about the little girl harming you. The little girl's soul is already incomplete. Just now, the young man fired three arrows with your true energy. The effort of a cup of tea at most, the little girl will be out of her wits."

The woman's soul seemed to see Xu Taiping's thoughts, and hurriedly explained something to him, but at the end of the sentence, her tone was full of desolation.
