The pothole that occupies half of the backyard is like a shocking scar.
The morning breeze blows slowly.
Chen Yuan looked at the scene of father and son recognizing each other and then parting ways, and his heart was incredibly complicated, just like the master left without any hesitation.
"Sir, two Taoist priests."
Qin Tongshan came around the pothole, his eyes were still red, but his expression was no longer as sad as before, "Three benefactors, please accept my father and son's worship."
He knelt down with the child in his arms and bowed down. Feihe in front glanced at Chen Yuan and quickly stepped forward to help the father and son who had survived the disaster to their feet.
"Master Qin, please hurry up. Conquering demons and exterminating demons is what we monks do for the people. It's just that your father, second uncle, and cousin should have been dealt with by the government, but now, they are dead. , Pindao will stay later and is willing to testify for Mr. Qin and explain to the government."
The Tianshi Mansion was appointed by the imperial court, and it was registered with the government. The words are quite convincing, not to mention that almost everyone in the Qin family house knows that there are zombies drilled underground, and there are many refined zombies underground. The utensils are sufficient to be used as evidence.
"Qin Shuyin and his son killed your father, and used the excuse of moving the grave to ask you to sacrifice your life, so that two generations of your family can change their destiny for them, from a merchant's home to an official's family, and even worship evil Buddhas in their homes to avoid them. If there are karmic obstacles and bad intentions of raising ghost fetuses underground, these poor people will report them to the government and the Tianshi Mansion one by one."
"Tongshan thanked the Taoist Master."
Qin Tongshan was about to bow down again, but was stopped by Feihe, who asked him to take his children outside to see the doctor. He also gathered the servants and maids at home and waited for the government to send a police officer.
After Qin Tongshan left with his son in his arms, Feihe looked at the mess in the courtyard and sighed. It was really surprising that he had simply moved the grave, but he was lucky to have discovered it early and did not cause a bigger disaster. .
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'll leave the rest of the matter to you. Pindao stayed here to deal with the aftermath, and then rushed to Chang Hao to inform the master's sect that your master had recovered his memory and was also involved in the Tianshi Mansion. I'm afraid this matter can only be dealt with by the Tianshi Master. Come forward."
"Then we will divide the troops into two groups, and I will go after the zombie." Chen Yuan nodded, and then looked at Sun Zhengde: "Old Sun, you go and drive the bullock cart and follow behind. I will drive the sword!"
Sun Zhengde nodded in agreement with a rare solemn expression.
"No problem, our ways are not what they used to be! You've seen it too, just go after it, I promise to keep up!"
The discussion has been decided, Chen Yuan quickly walked out of the eaves with Yuelu in his hand, pointed his sword, and with a sound of "Clang!", Yuelu flew out of the scabbard, Chen Yuan jumped up, and the moment he grasped the hilt of the sword, he soared into the sky. It turned into a shooting star and streaked across the bright morning sun.
Sun Zhengde said "tsk, tsk" twice, envied when he saw the light of Dharma disappearing into the sky, he cupped his hands towards Feihe, turned around and strode to the front yard, then went out to find the bullock cart, and said to Lao Niu He said: "Old man, we know each other. Please run faster and don't lose your master."
Lao Niu nodded understandingly. He had known what happened in the courtyard for a long time. He even waited patiently for the wooden sculpture with a bull's head and human body to appear again in the carriage. Unfortunately, there was no movement until dawn.
Moo!
The old cow held up his head and called out, then started trotting through the streets of the city, pulling the tall carriage, turning here and there, following his master's breath, out of the east gate of the city, and ran all the way towards Hengyan Mountain.
at the same time.
In the sky above Lingxian County, wisps of clouds flew quickly past both sides of Chen Yuan. He held the hilt of his sword and pushed away the oncoming wind with Dharma light, overlooking the small and stretching mountains and forests below. It was a different kind of scenery. This
Ordinary people in this world may never see it in their lifetime.
Vendors on the roadside and farmers in the fields occasionally took a break and raised their faces. What they saw was a ball of light flying across the sky. Someone lost his hoe and ran on the ridge of the field. He screamed in surprise: "There is a god!"
"Everyone, look to the sky!"
The surrounding farmers who were startled by the words looked around and vaguely saw a figure flying across the sky, dragging a long light tail, and falling into the mountains ahead.
…
The sound of the sword hummed softly.
The figure crossed the sky and landed at the foot of a nearby mountain. The moment it hit the ground, Chen Yuan landed smoothly in the forest. She unsheathed the moon and strode out of the woods to the mountain village ahead.
There were few farmers working in the surrounding fields. From a distance, before Chen Yuan entered the village, he heard the noise of panic and screaming inside, as well as the sad cry of a woman.
The villagers gathered around, whispering, or shouting something in the local dialect. There were also many men trying to get down into a pothole. No one seemed to notice that Chen Yuan, a strange face, walked into the village.
The village is not big. In the southwest corner of the entrance to the village, there is a hole several feet wide. Two houses fell into it. A woman was sitting by the hole, slapping the ground with her palms and crying loudly.
It should be that zombies passed by here and the arch collapsed underground...
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly blew a breath towards the crowd, and a strong wind blew up from the ground. The fine sand and stones were blown and tumbled in an instant, rising into the air, and suddenly there was flying sand and rocks.
The surrounding villagers covered their faces and screamed, hurriedly covering their faces, or squatting on the ground to avoid the sudden strong wind.
Here, Chen Yuan walked to the pit, looked at the house that fell to the bottom of the hole, felt the breath of living people inside, and suddenly leaned forward and fell down.
When his body landed lightly, Chen Yuan waved his sleeves to sweep away the piled rubble, rammed earth, and reached out to grab a man inside. He picked up a man inside from the air and held it in his hand. He jumped to the raised position on the cave wall.
He used his strength to jump back to the entrance of the cave, threw the person in front of the wailing woman, turned around and walked out of the village.
Follow the direction in which the zombies are spreading and continue to pursue them with your sword.
After climbing over the overlapping mountains, Chen Yuan was in the sky, his eyes filled with Dharma light, looking at the terrain. The remaining corpse energy in the mountains was heading east, towards the north of Xiangzhou.
'There seems to be no underground devil's cave over there. Where is it running to and what is it doing?'
As for where the master went, Chen Yuan felt that he might have returned to one of the five demon caves. Could it be that the zombie was also looking for the demon cave? Back to the abyss?
…
In July, the evening is so hot that it makes people sweat. As a Taoist, Ming Hui and other Taoist priests from Tianshi Mansion are not inappropriate. Even Qiaoer, who is worthy of entry, does not feel too hot.
But the palace eunuchs and officials who accompanied him all the way complained endlessly. After looking at the sky, Minghui chose this abandoned inn in the mountains as a resting place.
There were all earthen stoves. Everyone took off their burdens and weapons and set up pots to cook. When the smoke slowly rose, Minghui looked around and laid out medicine that was difficult for snakes and insects to get close to. As for the ghosts and ghosts in the mountains, he saw so many Taoist priests.
, I’m afraid I won’t dare to come.
After he returned from spreading the medicinal powder, he heard Qiaoer's laughter coming from inside as he walked under the eaves of the inn.
"... I didn't expect that wood carving opera is so popular here in the south. Hehe, you senior brothers must not know that it is a story written by my eldest brother."
"I know, you've said it eighteen times on the road, and several of us can memorize it..."
"But the story is really good. When I was passing through a county town, I listened to a short passage on the street while eating. There were wood carvings on the stage that came alive. The story was quite fascinating."
"Yeah, I just said that big brother is very powerful."
Qiao'er's chirping voice was mixed with a boastful tone, but the people present were all her senior brothers, and they doted on her so much that no one showed any displeasure. On the contrary, they would make some jokes about Qiao'er, which made the guards or resting officials in the hall laugh.
, the eunuchs all started laughing.
"The little Taoist priest is really smart and well-behaved. I wonder who will be so lucky in the future!"
The rouged eunuch raised his orchid finger and joked, which made Qiaoer's face turn red. She quickly shut her mouth and sat aside in shame.
"We won't joke around, so as not to make the Taoist priest embarrassed and annoying me."
The eunuch stood up with a flattering smile, waved his handkerchief, and called two guards to go to the toilet with him. After all, there must be a lot of snakes and insects in such an abandoned building in the wilderness.
"You two will wait for us outside."
After leaving the inn, I walked to the toilet outside. It was a tall, long and narrow room. The door had long been damaged, and the cesspool inside was dry. There was no smell.
The eunuch said something, then lifted up his robe and walked in. He closed the toilet door and tightened the bolt with his hand.
Bahba...
The two guards standing outside heard the noise, and one of them whispered: "What's the sound?" The other person turned around and saw rocks sliding down the mountain wall in the distance. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Why are we being so cautious? We are all doing our errands."
Now that we've done it, can someone still come to harm us? But I do wonder if there are demons and ghosts coming out. I've never seen them once in my life."
The guards were chatting and laughing, the setting sun in the west burned the sky red, and night gradually fell.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
There is no plot of falling in love and killing each other.
What the crazy old man said before leaving: "You can't be my apprentice." Savor it carefully.
But that plot is also to introduce the other two gods and connect them to the larger plot.
