In the dim and oppressive temple filled with the scent of sandalwood, Li Huowang stood in front of three clay statues, thinking about the question in his mind. "Is the sound reality or illusion?"
When I first entered this village, I didn’t even see Zai Wangdao, but I was confused by myself.
Just as Li Huowang continued to think about this problem, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A white-haired temple priest held a lantern and stuck half of his head out of the door. The dim candlelight illuminated everything in the temple.
With the faint light of the lantern, he looked around the inside of the village temple, paying special attention to the beams.
However, he took pictures around and found not even half a person.
"It's strange, there are no thieves, why is the lock broken?" After the suspicious temple priest made another inspection, he took out a hemp rope and wrapped it tightly around the tiger-head door handle.
He was just about to go into the house and go to sleep, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt uneasy, so he simply took a mat from the house and lay down at the gate of the village temple. "Hey, I won't be robbed now, right?"
."
Li Huowang, who was in the temple before, naturally could not be locked in by him. He had already sneaked out and was standing on the roof nearby, silently watching every move of the temple festival below.
But except for the sound just now, everything else is very normal.
If the letter hadn't said that there really were traces of the existence of Zaowangdao here, Li Huowang would have even thought that this was an ordinary village.
If I had passed by this place when I was on my way, I would have simply ignored it.
Thinking of the previous voice again, Li Huowang's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly.
"This won't work. I can't believe what I'm feeling right now. It seems like we should let Bai Lingmiao and the others come in and let them see if there is any sound."
Thinking of this, Li Huowang no longer hesitated, got out of the room and walked out of the village.
The village is very quiet at night, except for the faint barking of dogs coming from far away, there is no other sound.
In the narrow path, dots of fireflies were flying up and down among the grass in the corners. Li Huowang was walking on this path, but the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.
This feeling is not the sharp feeling of someone watching, but some kind of indescribable feeling.
Looking out of the corner of his eye, there was no one behind him.
"What? Someone discovered me?" Li Huowang, who was walking, suddenly leaned against the mud wall next to him and slowly moved towards the previous corner.
In the invisible state, he moved very steadily, but not at all slow. His hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to slash at anyone who came around the corner.
It's getting closer, getting closer, and Li Huowang's heart is beating faster and faster.
At that moment of turning, Li Huowang took a deep breath, pursed his lips and was about to draw his sword, when a yellow wall of earth appeared in front of Li Huowang.
Looking at the wall in front of him, Li Huowang felt as uncomfortable as hitting cotton with his clenched fist.
Li Huowang wanted to turn around, but was firmly restrained in place by a pair of iron-like hands.
"How is that possible! I'm obviously invisible now! How did he find me!" Before Li Huowang could think about this problem, a voice came from behind. "Shh~ don't move! Seduce them for a while longer...
..Please quote more..."
As soon as this extremely low voice came out, Li Huowang's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He stayed where he was according to the other party's instructions, constantly thinking about the identity of the person in front of him in his mind.
"Hey, what bad luck, I ran away again."
When Li Huowang felt the strength holding his arms disappear, the first thing he did was to turn around and look at the speaker.
Through the faint light of fireflies dotted around him, Li Huowang saw a blind man.
He was a lean old blind man. He was wearing a wrinkled black coat and a pair of old cloth shoes. Apart from the bamboo basket behind his back, the waxy yellow bamboo pole in his hand was the last thing he had.
There are black watermelon hats on his white eyes, and the sparse goatee under his mouth not only does not give him a trace of immortality, but also adds a touch of wretchedness.
Seeing him like this, Li Huowang knew why the other party noticed him so easily, because he was simply blind.
While Li Huowang was looking at him, the man was also looking at Li Huowang, but he was not looking at him through his eyes, but through his nose.
"The smell of blood is very strong. Are you someone sent by the military strategist? My surname is Chen. If your friends don't dislike it, you can call me blind man Chen. I am the Renzu of Jian Tiansi." An iron plate similar to the one in Li Huowang's hand
appeared in his hands.
"No, my junior Nestorian monk, Erjiu, is a soldier of Si Negui. I have met Senior Chen." Li Huowang also took out the sign.
Hearing Li Huowang say this, a hint of understanding suddenly appeared on the other party's face, "Oh~ It turns out they are those people from the Ao Nestorian Church. Since you are here, you should be the reinforcement I am looking for, right?"
After saying that, he hit the ground repeatedly with a stick in his hand and walked quickly towards the outside of the village.
"Let's go and talk as we go. I came earlier than you. I can tell you some things first."
Looking at his back, Li Huowang followed him with a smile.
"Senior Chen, were you responsible for handling this place before? Can you tell me what happened to this village? What are they that you just mentioned?"
"I don't know what it is. Aren't you looking for a way to be sure? I know that they can move in the mud. Just now, they saw you and planned to attack you."<
/p>
"Really? Then the evil spirit this time is a bit tricky." Li Huowang responded calmly.
"Who says it's not? God knows what this kind of evil spirit that can escape the earth looks like, but it's precisely because of these things that we can get paid."
"By the way, boy, since you are a reinforcement sent by the company, do you have anything special about you?"
"Senior Chen is joking. There's nothing special about me. I'm just an ordinary Nestorian." While Li Huowang answered, he kept staring at the man's eyes.
"Haha, this is true. Who doesn't know that you Nestorian people are not easy to mess with? It's just that every time you do it, it's hard to find the introduction you need. By the way, you came here alone?"<
/p>
"Ah, I came alone. Did Senior Chen come alone too?"
"Ah, yes, I am the same as you. I came here alone. Haha." After Chen Xiazi said this, no one spoke anymore and they continued to walk outside the village.
When they arrived outside the village, the two began to talk again.
"So, Senior Chen, are you saying that there is nothing we can do about them now?"
Sitting on the moss-covered stone, Blind Man Chen sighed, "Who would have thought that one day I, Blind Man Chen, would have to mobilize reinforcements? You also know that I am a blind man, and those mud devils are just like loaches, they cannot be caught at all, even if
Once you catch it, you can only catch one."
"Hey, by the way, little boy, do you have any way to deal with this situation to force them out?"
Speaking of this, Blind Chen's tone became very confident. "You just need to think of a way to force them out. Don't look at me blindly, but you really want them to beat gongs against gongs and drums. Chen Blind
I’m really not afraid of it!”
