As the moon rises above the eaves, there is no one on Erli Street for a long time. The watchman holding the light is banging his clapper and shouting the same words that have not changed all year round, gradually disappearing into the distance.
"...My uncle said, don't worry about worldly things. Well, I am not greedy for beauty and have married several concubines."
"Don't talk about what's going on inside the door outside... What should we do later?"
"Of course it's casting spells, testing and testing."
"Then I'll come first and scare him!"
In a quiet alley, a group of four figures walked along the street muttering to each other, with a faint light of magic in their eyes. They looked at the inn with flags and flags flying in the distance. The person in the front turned back and said, "That person is right here."
"
After saying that, they each cast their spells, and their figures gradually disappeared. They ran quickly through the streets and plunged into the wall of the inn in front. The sleeping old cow shook its tail and noticed something strange. He quickly sealed away the evil spirit and half-closed his eyes.
Quietly looking at the courtyard wall over there, a few blurry figures stopped not far from the thatched hut, looking towards the inn.
"...That person is right up there."
"Do you feel that this qi machine is a bit familiar?"
In the words that only a few people could hear, one of them, a young man named Yu Feihong, who was dressed with tightly tied wrists and a tall and slender figure, looked at the window lattice with candlelight, took out something and spread it out in the palm of his hand.
"If you want to scare people, just find something recently and try to see if this person is a swindler."
The man picked up the magic formula, muttered some words, and clicked the disk-shaped object in his hand, and a burst of white smoke suddenly appeared.
…
Bang bang~~
The sound of the banging sound of the watch could be heard far away on the long street. Inside the lighted window lattice, the crazy old man was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, with a little drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Wow~
There was a soft sound of pages turning. Chen Yuan was sitting at the table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He was turning over a page, looking for any places with spiritual trees in "Miscellaneous Mysteries of Huangchuan" so that he could write them down. He hadn't finished reading yet.
, I was already surprised by the vegetation above.
There is even fairy grass... If you plant it in your home, you can see beautiful women dancing in the garden at two o'clock in the afternoon.
The flower of Gouchi can disperse a strange fragrance. Smell it and it will make you feel restless. It can be used as a sexual aphrodisiac.
He hadn't read much of the pages about exotic flowers and exotic plants at the back. A closer look would make people think about it. Fortunately, he was only looking for spiritual trees, so these things were hard for him to see at this time.
"Three-branched Sophora japonica... is produced in Yangzhou. It has a five-dimensional body and only three branches. They are as dense as umbrellas. It brings good fortune to the house..."
I won’t be using this for now, so I’ll look through it again.
Chen Yuan continued on, briefly reading through several magical herbs and exotic flowers, and finally found one on the seventh page of the exotic flowers and exotic herbs section.
"There are no ancient pillars. In the land of Lingzhou, there are strange noises in the mountains, rocks collapsing in the mud, and strange trees. The pillars have no branches and are ten meters wide. They are walking on the ground with a pestle. There is a strange person who is good at it. Capture him and get a small
When cut, it is very fragrant when burned, it can drive away hundreds of ghosts, can bring down mountain spirits and stone monsters, is indestructible to water and fire, and cannot be broken by lightning."
No ancient, no ancient.
Since no one knows its origin and the process of its creation, the body is ten circumferences, which is the circle circled by the thumb and index finger of both hands. The ten circumferences are also very large. If you can get one, it will be enough to replace the second master and the others.
body.
"That's it!"
At some point, Guan Zhang, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Lu Bu all stood at the table, gathered around half a circle to carefully read the contents of the book, and nodded in agreement.
call!
The night wind squeezed into the window, and the oil lamp standing on the table shook. In the dusk, something seemed to be watching him from behind. When Chen Yuan raised his face, he also looked at the five wooden sculptures one by one, and saw the air behind him.
I don't know when a round human face appeared, the face was like a white plate, the eyes were closed tightly, and then the eyes suddenly opened, revealing scarlet red, and the teeth were grinning.
The five puppets also looked at me, and I looked at you, and murmured in a low voice.
"What is this?"
"The face is as round as a pancake."
"...What are you here for?"
"It floats. If I ride it, I don't know if I can bear it."
The round human face as white as a plate looked at the wooden carvings on the table and talked about it, not afraid of it, and even felt that... the words he said were a bit hurtful.
At the table, Chen Yuan was pressing the scroll and looking at it. He suddenly thought of the people he met when he entered the city today. He was afraid that they would follow their qi and come to trouble him, but with this big round face?
Thinking about it, I casually took the brush on the table, dipped it in the ink I had prepared, and wrote directly on the strange face, writing one big word: Get out!
The strange face seemed to have been greatly insulted and disappeared in the light for an instant.
"You just ran away?"
"What a courageous thing, how dare you come like this."
"Continuing to discuss what we just said, where did someone talk about?"
While talking, the five wood carvings didn't take that thing to heart at all. They sat cross-legged in front of the book, discussing who would be the first to carve a new wood carving, and then started arguing on the table.
Chen Yuan ignored them, stood up and moved slightly closer to the window lattice, glanced outside, and vaguely sensed someone in the backyard.
"It's indeed them, haha."
…
Below, the men and women gathered around looked at Yu Feihong who was casting a spell, waiting expectantly for the screams from above.
They have seen that strange face. They heard that Brother Yu's father obtained Panyu (medicine) in the mountains and forests and turned it into essence. It is as big as a millstone and can also do some small magic. If it is a swindler, it is enough for the other party to eat.
A pot.
"Brother Yu, what's wrong?" one of the three men asked softly.
Before Yu Feihong could speak, a strange face suddenly appeared in the air beside him, and it twisted in aggrieved manner. Everyone came over, straightened their faces, and saw a big word "GET" written on it.
"That guy is so insulting!" Yu Feihong gritted his teeth in anger.
"Let me do it!" A woman took out a few silver needles, "Wait a while, it will be difficult for me to let him sit down and sleep."
At this time, another girl next to her suddenly shuddered and gently pulled the sisters' sleeves, "Do you feel like you are being watched?"
These words suddenly made the other three people react. When their companions said this, they really felt like they were being watched.
"Don't scare yourself, we used concealment..."
Yu Feihong subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the hay shed. He saw an old cow standing there, tilting his head and looking at them curiously. Seeing that it was an animal pulling a cart, everyone was relieved, and then...suddenly
A chill crept up the back of my neck.
How could the cow see them?
The four people turned their heads and looked again. Not only the old cow, but also a tall black shadow stood there with a sinister air. The long face slowly cracked open, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
There were dense red eyes blinking all around. When the four of them took a closer look, they were all puppets with weird postures clinging to the pillars, walls, and stone troughs of the hut.
Gu~
The four of them swallowed their saliva together, carefully raised their feet and moved back, turned around and plunged towards the courtyard wall. Then, after four "bah, bah, bah, bah" sounds, the four of them squatted down, covering their foreheads.
The pain made her mouth and eyes squint.
Immediately, he used the wall penetration technique again, and then rushed out, screaming "Ah!!" and ran away on the street.
backyard.
The old cow took a mouthful of grass, chewed it slowly, and turned his head to look at the ghost next to him.
"Why did you scare them? There is no chance."
"I just smiled at them kindly... Who knew I was so scared!" Yin Gui touched the long face, sighed, turned into a puff of smoke and retracted the wooden altar in the carriage, and conveniently closed the lid.
Cover well.
The surrounding wood carvings also crawled back into the carriage one by one.
…
On the long street, four panicked figures ran around in panic for a while. When they saw that nothing was catching up with them, they gradually calmed down and started talking stammeringly.
"That cow just now must be a monster."
"There are still a lot of ghosts... Ordinary ghosts don't look like that!"
"Listen to my dad, the Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion are in the city!"
"I know the address."
"Let's go! Find them to eliminate the demon! And the evil cultivator!"
The four of them talked for a while, calmed down, and quickly rushed over according to the address known by one of the girls. They found the house where Tianshi Mansion was staying. They kept polite and knocked on the door, ignoring the little Taoist priest who opened the door.
, and walked straight to the nave.
"Four of you, the Taoist priest is waiting for guests, please don't barge in!"
The four people only said that there were monsters in the city and came to ask the Tianshi Mansion to get rid of the monsters. While they were shouting, they arrived in the middle hall, where bright lights were shining from inside.
From a distance, I saw Mingguang sitting in the front seat, joking with someone.
"This Taoist Priest!"
Before Yu Feihong entered the door, he cupped his hands and said impatiently: "There are monsters in the city, and there are monsters and ghosts around me."
The other three people came in together and nodded in agreement.
"We also saw it, so evil!"
"How could there be such evil things in the city?"
"That's right, that's the one named Chen Yuan. The court wants to build a shrine for him!" The girl among the four said loudly. She suddenly saw the figure talking to Ming Guang over there. She looked familiar. When she saw it,
Looking sideways, he couldn't help but smile: "It's you!"
Only then did Yu Feihong and the others discover that it was the Taoist monk they met on the roadside during the day.
"Just in time, there are a lot of people, let's go and arrest that person together!" The four of them were quite excited and quickly asked each other's names, "By the way, I haven't asked my Taoist friend for his name yet."
Over there, the lights flickered, and the figure joking with Mingguang slowly turned his face, immersed in the dim light, and grinned, revealing his white teeth.
One word at a time.
"Under-Chen-Yuan."
The smiles of the four people suddenly froze in the light, and they did not dare to express their anger.
