Chapter 75: Code of conduct for foggy dogs

Chapter 75 Code of Conduct for Dogs in the Foggy Sky

  Although I was accused of "eyes killing" out of thin air.

 But Jiang Xia thought about it and found that it sounded more handsome than "scaring people to death".

So he pretended not to hear anything and folded his outstretched wings as if nothing had happened - it was quite tiring to stand all the time.

Then he walked towards the old monk and picked up the old corpse from the ground.

The person was no longer breathing and seemed to be walking peacefully.

Jiang Xia planned to take the body out, but Xiu Nian happened to fall at the door, blocking the way.

I was trying to get the little monk to move away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as their eyes met, the little monk suddenly covered his heart in panic, with the words "It's over, it's over, I'm going to die if it looks at me" written all over his face.

 Jiangxia: “…”

 He pushed Xiunian aside with his wings, reached out to open the door, and took the body into the corridor.

 …

 In the room, Xiunian stayed for two seconds and found that he was still alive, and he breathed a sigh of relief in confusion.

—The foggy dog ​​didn’t seem to have any intention of killing him, otherwise he would have died just like the old abbot with a look in his heart.

Thinking of this, Xiunian got up and ran into the corridor, hesitantly following Wutian Dog, who seemed to have no ill intentions towards him.

Although at first glance, Wutian Dog's appearance is indeed somewhat similar to his brother.

 But after calming down, Xiunian intuitively felt that this monster was not Zhongnian.

 Perhaps it’s just an ordinary face-bump.

It may also be that his brother picked up a young foggy tengu when he was a child. During the service, the tengu looked more and more like his brother. When he grew up, the tengu went out to travel and came back to find that his brother was dead, so the tengu killed the old abbot to repay his kindness + revenge... Well, when I think about it, it seems reasonable.

 …

Xiunian followed up lightly and secretly observed the pair of Wutian Dog's wings that were sticking out from the cracks in his clothes and were quietly folding behind his back.

No matter how you look at it, I think it is the real thing.

 He was convinced again that he had made up his mind, and then asked cautiously: "You...what else do you want to do?"

—I heard that monsters need sacrifices and humans to perform specific rituals for them.

 Without these, they would eat humans.

Xiunian: "..." Looking at the situation now, the old abbot must have been used as food rations.

 But after the foggy dogs took away the abbot, they still did not return to the woods, but continued to wander in their temple...

Xiunian was worried that Wutian Dog would eat his senior brother or two innocent guests again.

So I wanted to risk my life to discuss with Wutian Dog whether he could eat incense and other things instead of eating people.

 …

However, when Wutian Gou heard Xiunian's question, he did not order, but replied: "I just said it."

 “Huh?” Xiunian was startled.

He thought carefully and found that Wutian Dog only said two sentences in total.

—“If you want to bring your performance back to its peak, it’s actually very simple. You just need to make one more victim of the ‘Fog Dog’ here.”

  —“…I think you are a good fit.”

Then, as soon as Wutian Dog finished speaking, the old monk died on the spot.

Xiunian: "..." It seems that the target of Wutian Dog is really the old abbot who borrowed his name to commit crimes?

This, this is a good monster who is not angry and sensible!

 Not to mention that Mr. Wutiangu also helped his brother get revenge.

 …

Thinking of this, Xiu Nian couldn't help but feel a little moved, and the look he looked at Wutian Dog was no longer so frightened, but more awe and grateful.

Furthermore, Xiu Nian thought, this Master Wutian Dog is indeed not barbaric at all. He did not go straight to his destination by banging through the wall like in the legend, but walked along the corridor and politely walked to the solitary room...

 …

Jiang Xia can't read minds, so she doesn't know that the little monk behind him, as quiet as a chicken, has so many mental activities that it's dizzying.

 He led the old monk into the solitary room, then raised his head and looked at the well-like room.

The new ghost died a tragic death - he was about to bring his beauty home, but suddenly "committed suicide" and watched his childhood sweetheart marry someone else.

Jiang Xia just signed a contract with the Tengu Ghost through deceit and deception. After signing, my conscience ached a little, and I felt like I was taking advantage of others, so I decided to help the new ghost cut off his obsession and let the old monk experience the feeling of being killed by a tengu. …

 Only now, after arriving in the confinement room.

Jiang Xia suddenly realized that there seemed to be some problems with this plan.

—When I visited the temple before, a lock was hung on the door of the solitary room to deny entry to tourists. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Jiang Xia did not come in.

Now, actually standing here, he realized that although the ceiling of this small rectangular room was high, it was very narrow horizontally, with the length and width seeming to be less than three meters.

Jiang Xia carried the old monk's body, hesitated for a moment, tentatively spread his wings, and waved them unskillfully.

With a dull groan, Xiu Nian, who was standing at the door, was blown away by one of his wings, and the other half of the wing hit the wall hard.

 Jiangxia: “…”

 …The person who compiled this legend must not have carefully investigated it.

How can you fly up here? Climbing up with wings is enough.

Jiang Xia silently poked the wall with the tips of her wings, gestured, and found that it was impossible to fly up.

So I had to change a way and planned to go from the outside.

As soon as he turned to the door, he saw Xiunian running back. The little monk knelt down on the ground with a bang, and apologized in panic: "I'm sorry! It's all our fault for making the solitary room too narrow!"

Jiang Xia: "..." Why is this person still here?

 …

There is a waterfall next to it. The roar of the water is so loud that your voice will not be heard.

 Jiang Xia's plan did not go smoothly and she was not happy. He waved his wings to chase people away: "Go away, don't disturb me."

Xiunian is not worried.

But Mr. Kiritengu said so, and he didn’t dare to stay any longer. If Mr. Kiritengu felt embarrassed because he couldn’t fly up, and hung him as a witness on the beam, it wouldn’t be good. …

Xiunian’s desire to survive finally revived.

He got up, bowed, and ran back to the dormitory.

 …

 The surroundings are a little quieter.

Jiang Xia took the old monk outside the house.

Although he could also take the stairs to the top of the solitary room, his plan was to use the "Fog Sky Dog" method to hang people up, so he had to stick to his word and fly up with the people himself once before it would count.

Moreover, this is the first time Jiang Xia has encountered a puppet with wings. It is impossible to say that he is not curious and does not want to drive a few laps to try...

 …

 Speaking of which, compared to the wings, the skills awakened by the new ghost fetus are very difficult to describe.

 This skill is similar to Death Reappearance.

 However, it is a "reappearance of death" in the physical sense, and can only affect the user himself.

  In other words, this skill allows the user to commit suicide with one click in a specific death state.

Just now, the contract ended. Jiang Xia looked at this skill for a long time and couldn't think of a way to use it.

 In the end, I had to pretend it didn’t exist and concentrate on studying the wings.

 …

 The weight of the puppet can be adjusted, but the weight of the old monk is fixed.

Jiang Xia spent half the night trying to steal from the birds in the forest. Finally, with her wings familiar, she carried people and flew up from outside the house in the style of a tengu.

 Plan pass√

Jiang Xia took out a piece of rope and hung the old monk's body on the beam on the roof of the solitary room. …

The beam has not been taken care of for two years and has accumulated a thick layer of dust.

Jiang Xia carefully used the new organs on the puppet, and finally left no footprints on the beam, leaving only a few wing prints.

But the foggy dog ​​kills people and prints wing marks.

This is not a flaw, this is a deliberate proof that "the foggy dog ​​came here for a visit".

Jiang Xia looked at the corpse on the beam, clapped his hands happily, and called it a day.

 He flew around the area again and experienced a new perspective. Then the puppet was lifted.

 …

 When the puppet is on, the physical sensation is not obvious.

 As soon as he returned to his true body, sleepiness suddenly came over him.

 Fortunately, after signing the contract just now, Jiang Xia moved his body back into the quilt, and now he can just close his eyes and sleep.

Jiang Xia yawned, thinking that if he was unfortunate enough to suffer from insomnia in the future, he could summon this puppet and fly it around a few times with heavy objects, so that he would be able to sleep soundly when he came back.

 He discovered the new function of the puppet and fell asleep happily.
