A narrow path connects to the broad official road and winds into the deep forest of wild trees.
The morning light was fading, and the gate of Chang'an City had just opened. Pedestrians were gradually coming and going on the official road, but no one was seen passing by this narrow path.
At this time, there was a middle-aged man in gray clothes, riding a horse crookedly, heading toward the city gate along the official road, and was passing by the narrow path.
The cold wind blew by, carrying the smell of alcohol on the man on the horse.
Pedestrians looking at the drunken man avoided him and did not want to get close to him.
"Uu——"
The fat horse carried the middle-aged man through the intersection leading to the narrow path, heading towards the towering city gate. At this time, the man tilted his head and looked at the narrow path, and then pulled the horse. The reins caused the horse to turn its head and step into the path with shallow grass and no horseshoes.
"Go and see what Hei San'er is doing at home?
Go to Hei San'er's house, go to Hei San'er's house..." The man on the horse muttered drunkenly. His mount seemed to be spiritual. It listened to his instructions and actually carried him along the path and across the road. At the end of the deep forest of wild trees, after passing several high hills and gentle slopes, we entered a small village with only twenty or thirty households.
Mist shrouded the village located in a depression.
There are occasional dogs barking and roosters crowing in the village.
The fat horse carried the drunken man to the gate of a large courtyard and stopped.
The door of the courtyard is open, but two pale lanterns are hung in front of the door, flickering in the blue-gray mist. The word "Dian" on the lanterns indicates that the owner of this courtyard has a new funeral in his family, and the funeral is currently being held. A funeral.
From the masonry hall, bursts of mourning could be heard.
"Here, who passed away?"
The drunk man pushed away the white lantern above his head. After he saw the word "Dian" clearly on the white lantern, he finally realized something. He grabbed the saddle, turned over and slid off the horse, rolling directly to the ground. Covered in dust and mud, he staggered up, not bothering to pat the dirt on his body. He led the horse through the low gatehouse, entered the door and shouted into the hall: "Hei San'er, Hei San'er!"
I'm coming to see you!
Hei San'er!
Someone in your family passed away? Why didn't you tell me?"
After the shouting, a big dark man walked straight out of the main room. When the big man saw the middle-aged man leading the fat horse swaying in the yard, his originally sad eyes suddenly turned to surprise, and he looked at the middle-aged man. The man shouted: "Wu Zongfeng!"
This black man is what middle-aged men call the ‘Hei San’.
Hei San hurriedly approached the middle-aged man, supported him, and said with some emotion and some worry: "My wife died for some reason. We have no relatives and friends here. I thought no one would come to express condolences, but no Thinking of Wu Zongfeng coming here...Wu Zongfeng, why do you smell of alcohol? Where did you drink? "
"There are so many sad people in the world, Hei San'er... Pei Min, General Pei Min's mother passed away. He asked me to paint a painting for his mother in Tiangong Temple to comfort the deceased. I went over and watched a sword dance. I got the 'Eighty-Seven Immortal Scroll'..." The middle-aged man known as 'Wu Gongfeng' pulled Hei San's sleeves to support his body. His eyes were blurred and he said, "I still remember, Hei San Son, we were dancing with swords, painting and calligraphy on the mass graves. In the blink of an eye, two or three years have passed...
How could your wife, such a young and healthy woman, die so soon? Hei San'er..."
This 'Wu Chongfeng' is now the famous 'Wu Daozi'. His painting skills are highly praised by the sages of the government and the public, and now the reputation of 'Painting Sage' has been spread among the people.
The 'Black Three', on the other hand, is just a country wanderer.
When Wu Daozi's reputation was not yet apparent, he was especially worshiped in the ban, and his status was much higher than that of ordinary people. His acquaintance with a wanderer like Hei San was purely accidental.
Hei San listened to Wu Daozi's stuttering but still relatively fluent words, and finally figured out why Wu Daozi came suddenly. He was not upset because the other party came to visit him only after he was drunk and thought of his old friend.
Not dissatisfied, but more moved.
It's just that there are still important things in his family that need to be dealt with, but he can't have a long talk with Wu Daozi.
He turned his head and glanced at the door of the main room. At the door of the dark main room, two young children stuck their heads out and looked at Hei San with tears on their faces.
"My wife passed away not because of illness, but because of something else...
In just a few words, I couldn't explain it clearly to Wu Chongfeng.
It's just that my home is not a good place at the moment, so Wu Chongfeng should not stay too long. I asked my neighbor to send Wu Chongfeng back to the capital. If there is a chance in the future, Hei San'er will definitely come to visit and thank him for the offering!" Hei San'er turned back and explained to the drunken Wu Daoxuan.
After a few words, regardless of whether the other party in the drunken state could understand what he said, he directly hugged the other party's waist and carried the other party onto the fat horse.
He took the reins of the horse and hurried outside the courtyard to invite some neighbors to come over and send Wu Gongfeng back to Chang'an first.
However, the drunk man immediately refused to leave like this.
Wu Daoxuan shouted: "What's the accident? Can't you tell me?
Is the government killing people? Is the noble clan trying to seize land? You say it, as long as you say it - I will try my best to solve it for you. Now... I am no longer the painter who allowed others to bully me. I have no problem speaking out for my friends.
!
Hei San'er, say it, say it!"
As he spoke, he rolled off the horse again - this time, fortunately, Hei San caught him in time, otherwise if he fell off the horse this time, his neck would fall exactly where the big hooves of his mount fell, and he
His mount could crush his neck with one hoof.
In this way, there will be no so-called painting sage, and there will be no such thing as the "Hell Transformation Picture Scroll"!
"Just say it, Hei San'er!
If you don't tell me, you don't want me to be your friend. I'll take note of it and won't come back again!" Wu Daozi said.
He clutched Hei San's clothes tightly. Hei San had no choice but to sigh helplessly, shook his head and said: "It's not because of some government conspiracy or the noble clan's coercion, Wu Gongfeng...
It's true, it's true - my wife was killed by a trick!
It has not yet been determined whether that strange thing is still hidden in my home!
I have asked the bad guys to come over to help with the inspection and suppress the sneaky, Wu Zongfeng, you don’t have to worry about this, just go home first, I will visit you later..."
"sly?"
Even if the morning sun is rising and the sky has already appeared, suddenly hearing the word "weird" can still give people a chill.
Even Wu Daozi, who was drunk, was stunned when he heard that the death of Hei San's wife was related to "Gui". He turned his head towards the main room and saw Hei San's children leaning against the door, looking concerned.
Looking over towards him, the main room behind the two children was completely dark, with no light at all.
"There are people who are sneaky and harm people's lives..." Hei San lowered his voice. Seeing that Wu Gongfeng seemed to have listened to his words, he explained a few more words to him, "My wife died yesterday, and her body is already smelly today...
…”
It is still early spring, and the weather in Chang'an is still a bit chilly.
In such weather, it is impossible for the body of a newly deceased person to stink even if he remains inactive for seven days. The occurrence of this situation in Heisan's home just shows that the death of his wife is extraordinary. She was killed by a powerful trick and was tricked.
Corpses infected with rhyme will often show signs of decay within a short period of time and produce corpse odor.
Wu Daozi turned back and shook his head.
Hei San thought he was finally persuaded. Hearing that there was something sneaky and causing trouble in his home, he was frightened and wanted to retreat. He was secretly relieved. How could he have expected that after Wu Daozi shook his head,
He immediately said:
"You - I'm not afraid either!"
"General Pei Min and the old man were dancing with swords and painting in Tiangong Temple. The old man made the "Eighty-Seven Immortals Scroll". Even the real person in Tiangong Temple at that time said that there were real gods living in the painting, which could scare away evil spirits and capture sneaky things!
Hei San, I will draw a picture to help you catch the mystery at home!"
Wu Daoxuan stood up holding Hei San's arm and walked towards the gloomier-looking main room. As he approached the steps of the main room, he smelled a faint corpse odor - the corpse odor emitted by the dead was far from nothing.
The body odor of a dead dog or cat is comparable.
If such a stench is smelled by living people, some weak-minded living people may even become seriously ill or even unable to survive the illness!
Because such a stench makes people smell it, not only will they feel disgusted and have the desire to vomit, but they may also feel fear in their hearts, and then they will have random thoughts, which will lead to the invasion of external evils and the body will contract diseases.
The corpse odor loomed between Wu Daoxuan's nose. He unscrewed the small gourd at his waist, took a swig of wine, and used the aroma of the wine to suppress the corpse stench. He took a step forward and was helped up the steps by Hei San.
, walked into the main room, which was still gloomy and gloomy even though it was lit with candles and incense.
A pair of wooden boards was erected on the open space directly opposite the main door.
A layer of coarse cloth covered the bed with four feet off the ground, and a human figure was faintly raised.
Hei San let go of the arm holding Wu Daoxuan. He did not try to persuade Wu Daoxuan at this time, but walked closer to the two young children.
Two young children were kneeling on the side of the bed, silently burning paper money.
It seems that they have been kneeling here, burning paper money, and have not moved.
Wu Daoxuan intuitively felt that something was wrong in the current situation, which was a bit strange, but it was difficult to tell clearly what was wrong with his confused mind. He looked around the hall and saw a clay figurine and a bundle of willows placed in each corner of the hall.
branches, a bowl of water, and a handful of charcoal ash.
"These are the five elements placed in the four corners of the house in the order of the 'five elements reversed'.
Once upon a time, I invited a Zao team member who was passing by to have dinner with me. The young man from that Zao team taught me this method, saying that this method could trap Li Gui so that he could not harm anyone for a while. "Hei.
San looked at Wu Daoxuan, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his whole face became uncertain under the candlelight in the darkness, "I'll get you paper and pen, you look at the painting -
You don’t know when the bad guys will come. If you can use a painting to trap Li Wei or scare it away, that would be the best..."
As he spoke, Hei San walked away from the side of the bed and went to the opposite side room to get paper and pen.
The two young children kneeling beside their mother's body turned to look at Wu Daoxuan. The whites in their eyes seemed to be too much, so that the kernels were only as big as soybeans.
Wu Daoxuan looked at 'Hei San' who was kneeling on the side of the bed with pale faces and almost stern eyes.
Yu Wu's Tong'er was shocked in his heart. No matter how much wine he drank before, he was sober now!
But he didn't want to sober up——
It’s better to just get drunk and die!
——Hei San and his two children, even if they are not the guile now, they must have been possessed by the guile. ——Wu Daoxuan felt regretful in his heart now. Why did he insist on leaving when Hei San, who was still normal at the time, persuaded him to leave?
Show off?
Now, I might lose my life here!
Thinking of this, Wu Daoxuan clenched the wine gourd in his hand, thinking that instead of being killed by Gui, it would be better to get completely drunk. If he was killed by Gui while drunk, he would just die. It would not be that painful after all - he directly
He put the wine gourd to his mouth and forced a full gourd of wine down his throat.
This wine is the finest 'Lihua Chun', a famous wine given to Wu Daoxuan by General Pei Min.
He sent his servants to deliver ten altars to Wu Daoxuan's residence. Wu Daoxuan took the full gourd with him, half-drinking and half-pouring the gourd, but most of it was left.
According to Wu Daoxuan's drinking capacity, just half of the gourd wine would not make him drunk.
However, he was already in a drunken state before, and now he drank most of the gourd of 'Lihuachun'. The alcohol suddenly rushed up and directly knocked away his gradually awakening consciousness!
Heaven and earth are spinning!
Wu Daoxuan was in this rotating world, swaying, unable to stabilize his figure at all. He sat down on the ground, and saw Pei Min holding a low table in front of him. His skin was dark,
The man who looked like an iron tower suddenly transformed in front of Wu Daoxuan into a woman with a long, thin face and a pale complexion, dressed in red. The woman had green eyes and stared at him without saying a word.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He raised his head and looked at the woman.
Waves of cold air that invaded the bone marrow drifted away from the woman in red. Wu Daoxuan immediately hugged his arms and shouted: "Cold! Cold!
I’m so cold!
Hei San'er! Hei San'er!
General Pei Min! Dance your sword quickly, dance your sword quickly!"
I don’t know if it was his shouting that ‘awoke’ Hei San, or some other unknown circumstance. Hei San, who had transformed into a slim-faced woman in red, suddenly changed back again.
He looked at Wu Daoxuan who was sitting on the ground and urged Wu Daoxuan in fear: "Why are you still here?!
There is something strange in my house, Wu Chongfeng!
Let’s go, let’s go!”
For a moment, he smiled and said to Wu Daoxuan: "Please paint a picture. Use your painting to help us suppress that sneaky..."
"What's so difficult about this?!"
Wu Dao
The ink pen seemed to turn into a sword and gun in his hands.
He muttered in his mouth: "I will kill you, the evil trick, kill you, the evil trick..."
The brush in his hand kept drawing an outline of a burly man in red robe with a ferocious look. The man's red face and flying beard were actually somewhat similar to General Pei Min. At this time, the man in red robe formed a sword finger with one hand, pointing to the void in front of him, and grabbed the sword with the other hand.
, raised it above the head, and stabbed forward into the void!
The meaning of exorcising evil spirits and slaying evil spirits emerges from the painting!
At this moment, Wu Daoxuan's sexual consciousness seemed to fly out of his body and merge with the god in the painting - the sword dance picture came to life. The god in the painting flew up a sword light and stabbed the slender-faced woman in red in front of him.
And go——
The woman in red howled, turned into a ball of red blood and fled away!
However, the divine sword light was as powerful as a dragon, and after all, it was faster than the sneaky one. In an instant, it was nailed through and nailed to the wall!
In the main room, there is skylight shining down.
The whole house suddenly lit up!
On the wall of the house, there is a picture of a "god dancing with a sword" posted there. In the picture, a god with a red face and a flying beard holds a sword above his head. The tip of the sword is stained with a mass of blood!
The body covered by a coarse cloth on the bed turned into pus, and a vague human shape leached out from the coarse cloth.
The strong smell of corpses filled the bright hall.
Hei San and his two children fell around the bed. At this time, his chest was rising and falling, and he was breathing heavily. Wu Daoxuan staggered up and walked out of the main room. He vomited violently, and then fell down at the foot of the main room steps.
He passed out drunk and fell unconscious.
At this time, several horses galloped over, dismounted in front of the Black Third Courtyard, and several people ran into the courtyard. When they suddenly saw the unconscious Wu Daoxuan, they all had shocked eyes: "Is it too late?!"
“Run here after receiving the news—you guys go check to see if any of the neighbors have been harmed by the sneak!”
"You guys follow me inside to investigate the situation!"
These seven or eight men who came in a hurry were none other than the bad guys of the Tang Dynasty.
…
Huashan Mountain is sometimes called "Huashan Mountain" because its peaks are like lotus branches and are not scattered. Because the mountain is close to the Yellow River Basin, the root of China, it is also regarded as the embodiment of the root of China, so it is named "Huashan".
The mountain is steep and the scenery is amazing. Therefore, countless celebrities and scholars from all dynasties have often climbed the mountain and left numerous inscriptions and poems on the mountain.
There are many gates and palaces in the mountain. When Su Wu and his party went up the mountain, they saw no tourists. They only saw a few Taoists in Qingyi going back and forth between the dangerous mountain roads. Jiujiu warriors would have to hesitate again and again when approaching such a mountain road. Those seemingly
However, the old Taoist can walk on this as fast as flying, and his steps are as strong as an ape's.
The bad guy Zhang Fang stopped a Taoist who was going up the mountain. According to Su Wu's instructions, he asked the Taoist: "Taoist, it is said that there is a mysterious creature in Huashan Mountain. Therefore, the government sealed Huashan Mountain and prohibited tourists from climbing it."
, I don’t know if this is true or not?”
The Taoist looked at Zhang Fang, then turned his gaze to Su Wu, who was vaguely surrounded by everyone in the center, and said loudly: "What is true or false, how can a poor Taoist determine it with just one word?
There is indeed no peace in Huashan Mountain these days - the 'Zhang's wife' who jumped off a cliff to her death a few days ago often appears in Huashan Mountain at night, wailing and asking for the life of her unfaithful man, and there are also people in the 'Thunder God Cave'
Thunder continued all day long, but when one approached the gap in the cave, the thunder fell silent for a moment, and the cave became completely dark, with no thunder light visible.
There is also the woodcutter who died of old age while watching chess in the mountains. Now he is also active in various places in the mountains. He has attracted more than ten tourists in the past and disappeared.
Do you see these signs that something serious is at work?"
Zhang Fang scratched his head when he heard this. He was originally asking the old Taoist a question, but he didn't expect that the other party would turn around and ask him, how could he know if there was really something evil in the mountains?
But since the bad commander is coming to Huashan on this trip, something will happen in the mountain.
All the weird things that the old Taoist said seem to be evidence of that kind of change.
