The sun gradually turned westward, and a village gradually appeared in front of them on the roadside, with various tall and short houses scattered here and there.
"Look, this is the village I'm talking about." With a smile on his face, Li Zhi pointed to the large black tiles in front of him and strode towards the inside.
"Come with me, I have a fellow villager here, and we can stay at his house for free."
Looking at the retreating figure, Li Huowang waved his hand gently, and the two donkey carts also drove towards the inside.
Walking to the loess road between the houses, Li Huowang and others looked around at the quiet surroundings.
But the strange thing is that no one is seen in the fields or yards.
"What's going on? Where are the people in the village?" The confused Li Huowang thought to himself.
Just when he was thinking this, Li Zhi poked his head out from around the corner. His old face was filled with excitement.
"Hey!! Come on, there's a lot of excitement here! It seems like my father-in-law is crawling on the ashes! His face is scratched, not to mention how exciting it is!"
"Crawling on ashes? What is crawling on ashes?" No one answered Li Huowang's words. He turned around and saw that the others looked embarrassed, and Bai Lingmiao even blushed and lowered her face.
"Senior Brother Li, let's not join in the fun. It's all other people's family affairs."
Li Huowang glanced at her doubtfully, turned around and strode towards Li Zhi.
As soon as I turned the corner, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I saw men, women, and children dressed as farmers, three inside and three outside, surrounding the door of a family. Li Zhi stood on the edge of the crowd, putting his feet on others' shoulders and looking around.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the whole village came to join in the fun.
"What is ashes crawling?" Li Huowang walked to Li Zhi and asked.
"My father-in-law steals his daughter-in-law. Is there any other name for it in your area? Who are you from?" Li Zhi looked at Li Huowang up and down again with a surprised look on his face.
After hearing the other party's explanation, Li Huowang was speechless. No wonder Bai Lingmiao had that expression just now.
"Ah~!!" A woman's ear-piercing scream rang out in the center of the crowd, and the crowd of onlookers roared and retreated in a large circle.
Through the gap, Li Huowang saw a strange scene inside.
A naked woman, with her limbs and joints twisted like a snake, was coiled on the Eight Immortals table, screaming and trembling.
"Oh, it's broken. It doesn't seem like it was crawling in ashes, but someone bumped into it." Li Zhi clapped his hands in annoyance and pushed him inside.
"Um, please give me some space. I'm a great dancer. Please give me some space. Hey, who the hell is stepping on my feet!!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Li Huowang, who was about to turn around, stopped and asked, "Is he planning to use his method to start exorcising evil spirits?"
After finally getting into the crowd, Li Zhi looked around and waved to Li Huowang, "Master, come on, what are you doing so far away?"
Li Huowang thought for a while and then pushed his way into the crowd.
This guy looks a little out of place, so we can take this opportunity to see how strong he is.
If he is just making a small fuss, there is no need to let him help solve his problems, lest Danyangzi eat him like the Buddha.
When he came to the center of the crowd, he saw more clearly that something was obviously very wrong with the strangely behaving woman on the Eight Immortals Table.
There is no black kernel in her beautiful Danfeng eyes, and she seems to have five eyelids.
Standing next to them were two people, one old and one young, whose faces had been scratched. They looked like victims of suffering.
"Master, look at this, are you coming or am I coming?" Li Zhi asked in a low voice again.
"Why don't we do it together? When you're done, you can ask for more money and we'll split it in half, so we don't break the rules of dancing."
"No, I'm not good at exorcising evil spirits, so you should do it." Li Huowang refused because he didn't know how to do it.
Hearing Li Huowang's explanation, Li Zhi looked surprised. "Are you fooling me? You can't even drive away evil spirits. Are you a fake Taoist?"
"Go quickly, look at this woman, she's almost breaking her bones." Li Huowang pointed at the woman on the Eight Immortals table and said.
The woman who was still in bed just now had bitten her lip, blood dripped all over her chin, and the joints of her limbs were twisted and creaking.
"It seems that ordinary people are not as far away from these things as I thought, but these people will uniformly explain it by using evil spirits." Li Huowang thought to himself.
"What if Li Zhi happens to be absent today? What should they do?" Li Huowang thought as he looked at Li Zhi, who was negotiating with the sufferer.
Looking at the old farm tools in the house, the bare feet stained with yellow mud, and the old and young people with grimaces on their faces, the answer to this question is very simple and cruel.
This kind of thing is probably the same as how poor people get sick. They have minor illnesses next to them, and they have to carry serious illnesses. If they can't resist it, they just lie down.
"Ahem~!" A cough silenced the buzzing chatter of the surrounding crowd.
"Boom~!" As Li Zhi tapped the old drum on his waist with a small stick, everyone present trembled in their hearts.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" "Please~~God~~le~~!"
This confident, extremely high-pitched voice shouted out, suppressing all the sounds around it.
Li Huowang turned his head and looked outside the house. The red light in the sky was gradually disappearing, and the silent night was coming.
"The sun sets over the west mountain~~It turns dark~~! The dragon returns to the sea and the tiger returns to the mountain~The dragon returns to the sea and can make rain~The tiger returns to the mountain and sleeps peacefully~Ahem~~..."
As Li Zhi sang words with the same rhythm as the drums, the body of Ershen, who had always been invisible next to him, began to tremble, and the red hijab on his head and the colorful cloth strips on his body also trembled.
"Seven-star glazed tiles are on the head of the head, and eight-edge purple gold bricks are on the feet. The ground is mined with the feet, and the sky is above the head. Take a long step and walk in a circle, stand firmly against the camp board. Burn incense and drums to invite the old immortal~~..."
p>
While beating the drum, Li Zhi took out a few sticks of incense to light, and inserted them around the woman on the Eight Immortals table.
The disheveled woman bared her teeth like a beast, and was just about to pounce, but she whimpered and shrank back after touching the white smoke.
The white smoke from the incense head did not disperse, but slowly swirled around the room. After a while, the room began to become hazy.
The corners of Li Huowang's eyes twitched, and he began to feel inexplicably irritable. He glanced at everything that was completely normal around him, frowned slightly, pinched the back of his neck with his hand, and took two steps back.
"Gah~!" The woman under the red hijab made some movement for the first time. She began to hiccup, and a rustling sound came from under the red hijab.
The crowd watching around was obviously frightened and dispersed a little more than before, and some timid people ran home before it was completely dark.
Hearing the sound of hiccups, Li Zhi looked back and continued singing while playing the drums.
"Old Immortal~ I know you are coming, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, you have a lot of majesty and a lot of murderous aura, don't bring with it a majestic and murderous aura~"
"The house is small, Galado, it's great to bump into each other. It's easy to deal with a gentleman, but it's easy to talk to a villain~ eh~~"
