The dance performed by Mr. Mo was very simple, with six steps as a cycle. With each step, Zhou Shi could feel the Yin Qi in his body weakening a little.
Soon, Mr. Mo stopped and changed the tobacco in the pot, letting Zhou Shi take a few more puffs.
"Cough, cough..."
"How was it?"
Zhou Shi pinched his throat, which was sore from choking on the cigarette, and couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
"Phew - OK, better."
"What did you do, kid? If it's a little later, the Yin Qi will invade your Dantian, and even I won't be able to save you!"
Zhou Shi slumped on the ground weakly and recounted what happened in the scholar's residence. However, he did not mention that he used a fire stick to detonate Mr. Hu's escape. He only said that he was bitten by a centipede before the yin energy entered his body.
.
After hearing this, Mr. Mo touched his chin and said, "Flying centipede? That's a very powerful poison. If you hadn't brought the poison master's antidote, I'm afraid you would have ended up like that scholar.
"What you did is correct. If you don't burn the flying centipede to death, it will kill many more people. I hope the fire will not hurt the neighbors."
Who wouldn't say yes...
"Where's the letter you rescued? Take it and read it."
Zhou Shi took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, spread it on the table, and picked out three consecutive pieces.
This letter took three pieces of paper, and the password of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce was drawn on the last page.
The letter begins with "Your Majesty, Mr. Yu."
"The ancients said: If you want to save money without a boat, you will live in a shameful sage. Just sit and watch the fishermen, just envying the fish..."
This letter is written with great literary talent and is quite subtle. The general meaning is to ask this "Master Yu" to select talents for the imperial court, so that the "wild land" with outstanding people can also have the opportunity to serve the imperial court.
"Based on the codes, this so-called 'barbaric land' should be Bashu. I hope Lord Yu will benefit Bashu? What is the official title of Lord Yu that can protect Bashu?" Zhou Shi analyzed and asked Mr. Mo for his opinion. "I don't know, I'm not good at court matters. But do you think this has something to do with the scholar's murder?"
Zhou Shi thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. After all, the scholar's house was turned upside down and this letter was not taken away. Instead, the book he copied before his death was missing. Although this letter is also very important."
Suspicious."
It is normal to hire a scholar with good calligraphy to copy a letter to a big shot, but why not add the code after getting the copied letter back?
"Either Xiucai is from the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, or he stole this letter. Listen back to what he has to say."
Zhou Shi looked at the empty shop and asked: "Well, the ghosts have dispersed, will the scholar come again tonight?"
"Don't worry, you will watch."
Mr. Mo took a bowl of Yin wine and limped out of the store.
"Mo Lao, let me do it!"
"No, you have just been exposed to Yin energy. It will be dangerous if you come into contact with something heavy in Yin energy."
Mr. Mo traced the word "wine" on the Yin Hun Inn's wine flag with Yin wine.
"A scholar has a lot of resentment and will be forcibly summoned by the inn's wine flag."
"Well, when he comes, do I have to avoid him?"
Mr. Mo took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled it, making Zhou Shi's whole body enveloped in second-hand smoke.
"This smoke is also a treasure of Zouma Yi Xing, so that the Yin Qi will be resisted by the smoke outside your body. But it is better to deal with it quickly."
Mr. Mo pinched his fingers and said, "At three o'clock, you can decide what to do."
As soon as Zhou Shi turned around, the haggard scholar was sitting in the corner.
He sat next to the scholar, cleared his throat, and said, "I just went to your residence and found..."
The scholar slowly raised his head
Their eyes met, and he jumped back in fright.
The scholar's face doubled in length, with almost no flesh left on his face. It became skin and bones. The two sunken eye sockets were like black holes, and there was no trace of human appearance at all!
"Old Mo!"
The scholar opened his mouth and slid his chin all the way to the ground. The mouth was big enough to swallow himself!
He stood up suddenly and rushed towards Zhou Shi with a huge mouth!
Zhou Shi retreated in a hurry and bumped into the counter. Mo Lao from behind the counter suddenly rushed out and threw a handful of glutinous rice at the scholar who had turned into a ghost.
"Wow——"
The glutinous rice fell, forming an invisible barrier that hindered the scholar's progress.
"Throw coins!" Mo Lao shouted at Zhou Shi.
"Ah?"
"Throw paper money! Hurry!"
Mo Lao stuffed Zhou Shi with a stack of yellow paper, and wiped it on his face twice. A whip and a small drum appeared in his hand, and he danced a dance that could dispel the negative energy.
Zhou Shi threw the pen and paper towards the scholar, Mo Lao clapped his hands, and the paper money suddenly caught fire and stuck to the scholar's body one after another!
"As the sun sets, the sky becomes dark, and every house is barred.
The main road is blocked for vehicles, and the small road is blocked for pedestrians.
Magpies and birds fly to the eaves, adults and children want to sleep peacefully.
Only one door is left open, whipping up whips and beating drums to invite the gods..."
As Mr. Mo danced, he was still mumbling words. Zhou Shi looked at Mr. Mo's dance and felt that he seemed to have changed into a different person, exuding madness and majesty!
"With your feet on the ground and your head up to the sky, Laojun takes a walk in the furnace.
Golden wings spread, silver wings peak,
Golden wings can run a hundred thousand miles,
Silver wings can soar to the horizon,
There is that Optimus Prime in the sky,
There is an old immortal standing under the pillar.
Old god, listen to me, I am the duke walking in the world.
There are evil things happening in the world. Please hurry up and pack up the gold and silver whips.
Spread your golden and silver wings,
Follow me and return peace and health to the world..."
Mo Lao danced faster and faster, and his voice became deeper and deeper, as if he was a tireless marionette dancing wildly!
Zhou Shi was shocked by the pressure on Mr. Mo, and his legs trembled unconsciously.
The scholar was trapped by the paper money on his body and could not move. When Mr. Mo danced crazily, his figure was also twisted, and he was pulled to a length of more than ten feet and twisted in the store!
It seems that the scholar who turned into a fierce ghost is being suppressed by Mr. Mo!
While Mr. Mo was intoxicated in the dance, Zhou Shi took the iron abacus into his hand and took out Duke Hu.
The effect of the smoke subsided, and when Zhou Shi, who had just been exposed to the Yin Qi, touched Lord Hu, it was like touching a piece of ice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But he didn't consider his own efforts. If Duke Hu could disperse Cheng Youyi's nephew who turned into a resentful spirit, he should also be able to suppress the evil ghost!
Sure enough, the scholar's struggle became much weaker and continued to be stretched and twisted...
"Pick up King Wen's drum in your right hand, and Erlang's whip in your left hand;
King Wen's drum is not called a drum, and Erlang's whip is not a whip.
Let’s talk about the drum first and then the whip. My drum is not ordinary.
Ten-year-old willow wood was selected and tiger skin was cut to cover the face.
It was chopped and rounded, and eight strings were tied at the bottom;
Hang up, Nezha is in the Vajra Circle of the Sea,
After the painting, Zhong Kui became even more impressive in catching monsters..."
Mo Lao, who was dancing wildly, stretched out his hand, shook the whip away, and roared with a voice like thunder:
"Squat down!"
Zhou Shi immediately complied, and Mo Lao whipped out his whip and whipped it hard at the scholar who had been coiled up into a ball with only his huge mouth exposed!
"Hit it once, knock it three times, hit it three times, knock it nine times,
Three in the front, four in the back, left, five in the right, sixty-eight..."
Mr. Mo's whip whipped around in accordance with his chants. It was hard to imagine that that deformed body could explode with such amazing power!
The scholar seemed to be held by a big hand, and his body slowly shrank, but the huge mouth had not yet been closed——
A cold light flashed in the giant mouth——
"One hundred and eight places in the sky,
A total of one hundred and eight lashes - ugh!"
Mr. Mo suddenly paused and the whip in his hand softened.
A slender tongue suddenly shot out of the scholar's huge mouth and pierced Mr. Mo's abdomen!
"Old Mo!"
The dancing stopped, and the scholar's twisted body slowly spread out, returning to his human form.
The giant mouth is still wide open, and the chin reaches just under its feet. But its body is no longer skin and bones, and it is obviously stronger than before!
Its tongue was withdrawn from Mo Lao's body, and then shot towards Zhou Shi, who was trying to take Mo Lao out!
