Jinguang Temple Chapter 14 Grievances (2)
(14)
"That's right, that person is the housekeeper Qiu An, to be exact, the 'living dead' Qiu An. Chu Zhuang said indifferently.
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. They all discussed, Chu Jushi actually said that the housekeeper was a living dead, what did this mean?
After Chu Zhuang waited until everyone was quiet, he continued: "During the day, Ah Lei and I met a big blue-scaled python in the forest in the mountains, which was exactly the same as what everyone saw just now, except that the python's two eyes were intact. Later, it was stoned to death by me using the 'Ice Fall Hail' technique. After death, the python reverted to its original form and turned out to be a tree lizard. I was very strange at the time, if the tree lizard could have the power to transform the python, it would definitely not be so vulnerable, and at that time, Ah Lei also said that the python was exactly the same as the one he had encountered, except for the blind one. ”
Yu Wenlei nodded, agreeing with what Chu Zhuang said.
Chu Zhuang pondered for a moment, pointed to Qiu An's corpse, and then said, "When I saw the worms flying out of his mouth, everything was already in plain sight. The flying insect is called the 'Enlightened Heart Worm', and it mostly inhabits the deep mountains and rivers, and rarely touches the villages inhabited by humans.
This insect has a peculiarity, it likes to eavesdrop on travelers walking in the mountains, steal their thoughts, and then conjure up the terrifying existence in the hearts of travelers, so it is called 'enlightenment'. It has very little aura of its own, and basically has no attack ability, and can only transform by forcibly occupying the bodies of other living beings.
At noon today, in the mountains and forests, it overheard the conversation between me and Ah Lei, so it flew to the place where we must pass in front of us, and got into a tree lizard and conjured up the green scale python that Ah Lei said, and was killed by me. Not wanting it to escape, he hid and continued to eavesdrop on our conversation, getting more information about the python. ”
At this time, the time for the steel dart to pierce the heart worm had arrived, and Chu Zhuang put the paper talisman into his sleeve with a wave of his robe, and then pointed to the dead insect that fell to the ground, leading everyone to come forward to watch.
Yu Wenlei, Qiu Yuanwai and the others leaned over to see that this heart worm was the size of a baby's fist, shaped like a ladybug, with wings and tentacles. Chu Zhuang saw that everyone was watching, threw out a piece of talisman paper, and fell lightly on the heart worm, and then pinched the trick with one hand and chanted the mantra, poof, the flames rose, and the heart worm turned into ashes.
After finishing, Chu Zhuang said: "The spirit in the mountain has a tenacious vitality, just in case it harms the people again, so I have to make this decision." Then he continued what he had just said:
"It followed me all the way and learned about my relationship with Qiu Yuanwai. Later, in this Qiu Mansion, I found the yellow skin hiding in the shadows, because it was good at understanding the heart, and this yellow skin had a strong obsession, so it was naturally easy to find.
In order to achieve the purpose of absorbing Ah Lei's aura, this heart worm decided to use the yellow skin. So it burrowed into the body of Qiu An, the housekeeper who came back in the evening, sucked his brain marrow, and controlled his body. In this way, he took advantage of Qiu Yuan's inattention to tear off the talisman he was wearing. This talisman of mine can ward off demons and evil spirits, but it is ineffective against the living dead like Qiu An. ”
Hearing this, Qiu Yuanwai hurriedly touched his waist and said hurriedly: "That's right, the talisman given to me by Engong is indeed gone!"
"Don't worry, I'll give you ten or eight later. Chu Zhuang said indifferently.
Qiu Yuanwai's heart was full of joy, and he hurriedly made a gesture. Chu Zhuang waved his hand, and continued: "The rest of the matter, I think everyone knows about it. Huang Pizi saw that the talisman on Qiu Yuanwai's body had been removed, so he naturally couldn't wait to get on his body, and this heart worm also took advantage of the chaos to restrain Ah Lei and absorb his aura. But now that the Enlightenment Worm has been removed, and the spirit has returned to Ah Lei's body, it's just that Qiu An died unjustly, so you can take care of his family and bury him. ”
Qiu Yuanwai nodded again and again, and responded in his mouth: "Yes, yes, yes." Everything was done according to Eun Gong's words. ”
After other things, Chu Zhuang slowly walked in front of Huang Pizi and asked sullenly: "If you don't listen to my advice, you will cause a big disaster, what should I do with you?"
Huang Pizi closed his eyes tightly, his ears drooped, and all his thoughts were discouraged and he only hoped for a quick death.
"I won't kill you, I think you are still pure in your demonic spirit, and it seems that you have not gone into the evil path. It's not easy to have this kind of cultivation, you can go!" With that, Chu Zhuang waved his hand and recalled the confinement talisman attached to the back of the yellow skin.
Huang Pizi thought that the limit had come, but who knew that the peak would turn around. Now that the shackles have been removed, it opened its eyes and looked at Chu Zhuang, its gaze was soft, and it seemed that it had something to say.
Chu Zhuang took out a paper talisman from his sleeve, pasted it on the forehead of the yellow skin, and then pressed it with his hand, put the index finger and middle finger of the other hand together, and put the twist on his chest. This is the Enlightenment Talisman, which was transformed by the ancestors according to the ability of the Enlightenment Worm.
After a while, Chu Zhuang took away the trick, took off the paper talisman, stood up, and said to Huang Pizi: "I already know, and thank you for telling the truth." I hope you can find a deep mountain Daze, work hard and ascension, and ascend as soon as possible. With that, he pointed to the outside of the hospital. Huang Pizi was amnesty, bowed his head and worshiped Chuzhuang, turned into yellow smoke and left.
Qiu Yuanwai asked in a low voice, "Engong, it won't come to harass Qiu Mansion again, will it?"
Chu Zhuang looked at the direction where Huang Pizi was going, and replied: "Don't worry, it must have come to its senses after this catastrophe and fled away." ”
Qiu Yuanwai finally got rid of his heart disease, and his joy was abnormal, and he nodded again and again: "That's good! That's good!" Everyone was overjoyed when they saw that the disaster in the house had been eliminated.
In this lively scene, only the two seem to be out of the way, forming a strong contrast, and they both seem to be preoccupied. The two looked at each other and seemed to have something to say.
When the two returned to their room, it was already the second half of the night. Yu Wenlei was full of curiosity about the content of Chu Zhuang and Huang Pizi's conversation with Siwei, he was like scratching his boots, and he couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Uncle Chu, what did Huang Pizi say to you?"
Chu Zhuang said lightly: "It just said what I guessed in my heart, that is, the reason why it didn't show up that day." ”
When Yu Wenlei heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Chu, what is the reason, is it related to the black-robed man?"
Chu Zhuang shook his head: "I'm not sure if the person it said is the same group of people as the black-robed people who attacked the Hidden Village at night, or even the same person. ”
Yu Wenlei was even more confused, who knew that Chu Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Rest, it's not early." I'll talk about it tomorrow, and I'm not in a hurry to do it. ”
Early the next morning, the two had breakfast in the room, and then went to say goodbye to Qiu Yuanwai. The staff was reluctant to give up, and begged the two of them to stay longer. Helplessly, Chuzhuang really has something urgent, and he has already decided.
Qiu Yuan couldn't do it outside, so he had to ask his subordinates to prepare more silver taels and personally send the two out of the door. Before leaving, Chu Zhuang took out a few paper talismans, handed them to Qiu Yuanwai, and said, "Just like before, just sew them in the sachet." ”
Qiu Yuanwai couldn't help but be overjoyed, took it with both hands, and shook it again and again.
At this time, Chu Zhuang suddenly remembered something, so he opened his mouth and asked Qiu Yuanwai: "Yizhi, during the tenth day of the first month of last month, did the shopkeeper of the inn under your name report to you that there were any strange guests staying in the hotel, such as on the third and fourth watches, there was an old man and a young person staying overnight?"
Qiu Yuanwai shook his head and said, "There is no shopkeeper to report any strange guests. Back to Engong, although this Fenglai town is not prosperous, there are occasionally guests who only care about hurrying, miss the accommodation, and stay at night. This is all the discretion of the treasurer, and there is no need to report it to me. Don't worry, I'll send someone to call them, and you can just ask. ”
Chu Zhuang waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm just asking casually." Yizhi, you must do more good deeds in the future, and don't be unkind to the rich!"
Qiu Yizhi hurriedly leaned over and said yes again and again. Chu Zhuang nodded with satisfaction and floated away with Yu Wenlei.
Leaving Qiu's mansion, the two went straight to the dock, Yu Wenlei became more and more confused, and wanted to ask several times, but he still couldn't bear it. In the end, Chu Zhuang couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I see that you have been full of doubts since yesterday, even if you ask, I will know everything." ”
Yu Wenlei scratched his head and asked, "What did the yellow skin tell you?"
It said that the reason why it didn't show up to harass Qiu Mansion that day was because it felt two huge spiritual pressures in Fenglai Town, and the spiritual pressure was so strong that it trembled, so it hid far away. It wasn't until the next day that the spiritual pressure disappeared and he dared to come back here. So that strikes me as weird. ”
Yu Wenlei was just about to open his mouth to continue asking, but the two had already arrived at the dock, and Chu Zhuang hired a canopy boat. The captain untied the boat cable, picked up the penny, and gently propped it up at the bottom of the river, and the boat slowly sailed out of the dock.
Chu Zhuang didn't wait for Yu Wenlei to speak, and then continued: "Do you think that there were two people who settled here that day, which just proves that it was those two black-robed people?"
Yu Wenlei nodded and asked, "Isn't it just two black-robed people, at that time, one attacked you, and the other attacked Grandpa and others at the same time in the Mountain Temple, I think the one I met that evening should be one of the two of them." ”
"It's not what you think, in fact, there was a third person who attacked my 'Meditation Circle' that day, and the ability is by no means inferior to those two black-robed people. Among the people who have fought with me, there are no more people who can use talismans except for my second senior brother, and this kind of advanced magic has not even been learned by my master. ”
Yu Wenlei's pupils widened, and he stammered, "Uncle Chu, do you mean to say that ...... that night?"
"That's right. Chu Zhuang interrupted him and said, "That night, there was a fire in the village, and when I went out to fight the fire, I was afraid that you would get in the way, so I used a sleepy charm on you. ”
Yuwenlei has a black line, do I have such a waste of wood?
"Later, I didn't feel at ease, so I put three royal talismans on the door, but when I came back, I was actually turned away by a talisman technique. There are water and fire spells, and from the water stains that dripped on the ground at that time, it can be judged that he should be using the water rune, and the water stains are slightly dry, it should have been a while, so it can be concluded that the third person should have been hiding on the cliff at that time, and when he saw me going down, he appeared, and cooperated with the two black-robed people to carry out the action. ”
Yu Wenlei realized: "So that's the case, so when Huang Pizi told you that there were two spiritual pressures, it made you feel confused." This is strange, at least three people attacked the Hidden Village that day, but only two of them settled in Fenglai Town, maybe the third person left directly?"
"Even if you go, you should go down the mountain and pass through here, do you know that to go to the hidden village, you must pass through Fenglai Town, there is no fork in the road. And the yellow skin is the most keenly felt among the demons, it belongs to the perceptual monster, and it is impossible for a person with such a powerful spiritual pressure to pass through it without feeling it, so there is only one possibility......"
At this moment, the canopy boat suddenly stopped. After a few moments, the captain came in, and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed, two, there is a girl on the shore who wants to take a boat, saying that she also wants to go to Anping City." I don't know if the two of you can make it convenient. ”
Chu Zhuang was interrupted, his face was impatient, he waved his hand at the captain, and said, "Men and women don't kiss, no, let her go to another family's boat." The captain couldn't, so he had to put down the curtain, turn around and go out to resume his life.
Unexpectedly, the captain went out for a long time, and the ship did not move at all. The two of them were wondering in the cabin, when the captain suddenly stumbled in, and said in a panic: "It's not good for you, I just passed your words to her, who knows that the girl doesn't know what to do, this boat can't move alive or dead!"
