The night was hazy, and the lantern with the word "Dian" written on it was swaying gently in the wind.
squeak~
The door opened quietly, and the man in the room hissed at the woman inside, and walked to the room across the hall. Through the slightly opened window and the pale paper lantern, he saw the sleeping children inside.
Gently push the door leaf open little by little.
The child had difficulty falling asleep. Hearing a slight movement, he opened his eyes in confusion and saw a figure stretched out on the ground in the light of a lantern outside, slowly approaching.
Ding.
The boy suddenly trembled. He hurriedly sat up from the bed and jumped to the end of the bed. His whole body was shaking so hard that he faced the door behind the figure and cried out in fright: "Mother!!"
But the mother's figure did not appear, only the man whose face could not be seen clearly approached step by step, and he could vaguely hear the other man laughing softly.
"mother!"
"mother!"
The child cried and leaned against the wall and slowly moved his feet, but the big hands that grabbed him grabbed his neck and dragged him to the man.
"Your mother is lying on the bed. As for you, don't you miss your father? I'll send you to see your father later, okay? Don't worry, it won't hurt too much. You can see him in the blink of an eye."
The man pinched the child's neck with one hand to prevent him from moving. He reached into his pocket with the other hand and quickly pulled out a few short nails, which he tried to press into the child's bun.
"do not move!!"
The man roared violently and felt the pain of the spikes. The child struggled even more fiercely. He suddenly remembered what the statue in Zhenjun Temple said. He felt anxious and cried: "Zhenjun promised to check on my father."
If you die, you can’t run away, the true king will kill you!!”
True King?
The thumb that pressed the short nail hesitated for a moment, and the man was stunned. In a short period of time, he had heard it twice. Could it be that Miao Zhu who came today discovered something?
Seeing that the child was still noisy, he strangled him hard and shouted: "Shut up! What the hell, Zhenjun, tomorrow I will push the statue!"
Phew~
The wind outside became a little stronger. At this time, the door over there creaked. Mrs. Cheng put on a single coat and came out. She heard no movement and approached carefully. Passing by the mourning hall, she saw that she was lying straight on the wooden board.
The husband, who was covered with a white cloth, felt fear for no reason and called out to the door that opened in front of him.
"Is it done?"
After a moment, the woman saw the man dragging the child back out, looking at the woman with a somewhat unsightly expression: "Have the temple ministers from the Zhenjun Temple done anything since they came in during the day?"
When Mrs. Cheng saw that the child was still alive in the hands of the man, she quickly moved away from the child's sight and whispered: "You didn't do anything. You just asked me if I wanted to perform a ritual. When I refused, you left."
Quack, quack…
Suddenly a strange tone sounded in the courtyard, the green trees in the courtyard rustled wildly, and even the lanterns swayed wildly under the eaves. The long-bright lanterns in the mourning hall were instantly extinguished, and the standing spiritual tablet fell down and fell to the ground. The man was shocked.
He and the woman looked around with trepidation.
"You...didn't you say you knew magic? Come and see if this damn ghost is back!"
"Fart, I sealed the soles of his feet and the top of his head. I can't tell the officials, I can't tell the city god, he can't even leave the body, how can he turn into a ghost!"
The man yelled loudly, but now even he was a little doubtful about what he said. He hurriedly took out a willow leaf and scratched his eyelids, using the little magic he accidentally learned outside to look around, and saw a courtyard wall not far away.
The hand the size of a millstone in his hand slowly climbed up the wall, and a long, gray oval face appeared, with a pair of gloomy eyes looking directly at them.
"What the hell are you looking at? Tell me what did you see?!" Seeing the man's open-mouthed expression, the woman hurriedly asked him to ask. The man came back to his senses and simply crossed the willow leaves.
The woman looked at him and moved her face to the courtyard wall.
Cheng was speechless for a moment. What she saw in her eyes were those huge gray and gloomy eyes. She didn't have a straight face, and she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
At this time, the man had no intention of caring about the child anymore, and threw him aside. He tried his best to be brave. The master who taught him magic once said that you should not be afraid of evil spirits. If you are afraid of the sun and fire, you will lose one point.
No more fear that there will only be one left.
He calmed down and asked loudly:
"What kind of ghost are you? You dare to break into other people's houses in the world!"
hehe……
What answered the man was the low, gloomy laughter coming from the long oval face behind the wall. It seemed to be standing up and slowly rising up. In the man's eyes, it was higher than the wall, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
"This certain person is a ghost servant under the command of the True Monarch Ling Xian. Please come with me."
Faced with such a mortal who was not even a monastic, Wang Zhaoyuan didn't understand where the other party had the courage to dare to push the statue of Zhenjun, "Don't worry, you don't even have to think about going to the City God's Temple."
The man didn't listen to these unclear words, but looked in disbelief at the ghost that gradually walked in from outside the courtyard wall. It turned out to be the ghost of Zhenjun Temple.
Are the statues in the temple really spiritual?
The man realized that he had no intention of staying for a long time. The ghosts in the temple were not as easy to deal with as the lonely ghosts. He quickly took out a mahogany comb, threw it directly towards the opposite side, and turned around.
He rushed to the courtyard door, quickly opened the door with his hands and feet, and rushed out to the street in one breath.
He moved his feet wildly, looking back from time to time, and saw a tall figure in the mist chasing after him, even much faster, and it wouldn't take long to catch him.
But it's late at night, and there's no place where people gather. The nearest brothel requires two stone bridges across Wutiao Street.
"To be able to send such a dark ghost... I can't stay in Luo anymore. I'll leave the city at dawn tomorrow!"
Ordinary ghosts do not touch water. The man walked quickly. When he saw the stone bridge in front of him, he simply took a deep breath, climbed over the stone bridge and jumped directly into the water.
This river is a branch of the Rui River outside and crosses Luodu. It is one of the water sources for the entire city.
Plop!
The figure jumped off the bridge, water splashed high, and he wiped the water stains on his face. Seeing that the evil ghost had not chased him yet, he hurriedly swam towards the water gate. He remembered that there was a painting boat in front of him, and there were many prostitutes on it.
Guests, as long as they can board the ship, they can spend the night safely with the help of the Yang energy gathered by so many people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was roughly decided in this way. The man quickly scratched the water with his hands, and when he passed through the bridge hole, his kicking feet seemed to touch something, but he did not go into details.
He just moved forward, but in the next second, a long curtain of water rose up from the water, surrounding him in the middle.
"What...what?"
The moment the man struggled, his whole body was suddenly entangled, and then he was lifted up. His eyes met the cold vertical pupils, and the words he wanted to shout suddenly stopped.
I swallowed hard, and across from me was a huge snake head, swallowing the letter.
The water curtain faded away, revealing a thin patch of white scales. The long and bloated body immediately tightened, entangled the man, and rolled him up in the air to look at each other.
At this time, the Yin Qi spread over, and Wang Zhaoyuan felt a familiar evil spirit under the bridge. He slowly leaned half of his body downwards and saw a long white shadow, wrapping around the man he wanted to hunt.
"White Snake, I am a ghost under the command of the True Lord! The True Lord wants to arrest this person."
But the White Snake over there didn't know the ghost in front of her, and she didn't know who the true lord was. She only knew that she had managed to escape from the overnight parade and lurked in from the water gate, and then she was kicked in the face by this man. How could she bear it?
.
Now he was scolded by another ghost, and he immediately tightened his body, strangling the man until his face turned red, and he kept begging for mercy.
…
As if feeling the evil spirit, in the City God's Temple outside Luodu City, the City God's Dharma Minister walked out of the painted clay sculpture, looked at the city, and raised his thick eyebrows: "What a courageous monster, dare to sneak into the city and cause trouble, go and arrest him!"
On both sides of the city, the God of Punishment, the Master of the Evil Underworld, stepped out of the clay sculpture to show his Dharma body, took the night parade and a group of evil spirits, and rode the evil wind to rise into the sky.
…
Hiss~~
The waves rushed to the river bank in circles, creating large waves. The struggling man hit the snake's body with all his strength. The white snake turned its head sideways, and tightened its long body suddenly. There was a click, and the man suddenly became stiff and his orifices
A stream of blood was squeezed out from all of them.
"Haha, just right!"
Wang Zhaoyuan saw that the man was dead, but he became happy. He stretched out his arms and directly grabbed the body whose bones had been broken. He pinched the phantom that had just fluttered out in his hands.
