Chapter 4: The Rabbit Demon
Lin He and Lin Quan were gone, and there was no figure on the street, there was silence all around, Wang Yihui looked around blankly, and a chill gradually rose from the bottom of his heart: This can't be ...... It can't be a ghost cave, right? As soon as Wang Yihui thought of the ghost word, he saw a gust of yin wind in the middle of the street less than five meters away from him, and the yin wind swirled and rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground and floated towards him in the air.

"This ......" Wang Yihui didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere when he looked at the scene in front of him, and at this moment, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, and he immediately screamed and jumped forward and ran forward.
Wang Yihui ran forward a few steps and didn't hear any movement behind him, so he couldn't help but glance back, and he was stunned at this glance: What kind of ghost is there behind him? Only a kind old man stood there with a stunned face, his right hand still raised forward and did not take it back, obviously he patted Wang Yihui on the shoulder just now.
When the old man saw Wang Yihui looking over, he put away the astonishment on his face, withdrew his right hand and asked, "Young man, what's wrong with you?" β
Wang Yihui stopped curtly, and in order to alleviate his embarrassment, the wicked person sued first: "Old man, why did you come behind me silently?" Still slapping me with your hands? I don't know if people are scary and scared to death. β
The old man laughed when he heard this: "Hehe, young man, this is not to blame the old man: although the old man is not a master, he has opened up a meridian and entered the third-rate realm, so the footsteps are lighter than ordinary people, but they are by no means silent, as long as you pay attention to some, you will definitely be able to hear it; The old man doesn't know what you're doing, but he must be distracted, right? Otherwise, you should have heard my footsteps a long time ago. β
"And what are you filming me for?"
"You're not from this town, are you? The old man just saw that you were injured from behind, so he wanted to ask about your situation and invite you to the old man's medicine for treatment. β
"Is the old man a doctor?" Wang Yihui's eyes lit up, "I am indeed not from this town, and I came to the town to treat my injuries." Can the old man help me? β
"Of course." The old man said proudly, "The old man Chen Zimo, known as Hulangzhong, in a radius of thousands of miles from Hulin Town, the old man's medical skills dare not be said to be the first, but no one dares to say that he is better than the old man!" β
"Then ask the old man to help me heal my wounds." Wang Yihui felt that he understood the reason why Ding Qiankun asked him to come to Hulin Town: a good doctor.
"Young man, don't worry, the old man didn't bring a medicine box when he went out this time, and now he can't help you heal his injuries, and besides, this street is not a place to heal his injuries." Let's go with the old man, let's go back to the medicine house for a careful examination and then treat the injury - in the old man's opinion, your injury is not serious, it doesn't matter if you treat it a little earlier or later, you don't have to worry. β
Wang Yihui agreed without hesitation: "Okay." Old man, where is the medicine house you are talking about? β
"The old man's medicine house is in the northwest direction, against the wall, you can just come with the old man. By the way, what's your name? β
"My name is Wang Yihui." Wang Yihui was worried that Chen Zimo would ask his origin again, so after saying his name, he hurriedly asked, "Old man, why can't you see anyone on the street?" What about the people of Hulin Town? β
"Hulin Town used to be called Lin Jiaji, ninety percent of the residents in the town are the Lin family, more than a hundred years ago the Lin family produced a top master, he became famous after the Lin family set changed to Hulin Town, but the Lin family is becoming more and more prosperous, except for a few people like the old man in the town have joined the Lin family, and today is the day of the Lin family's annual big competition, all the people of the Lin family except for the vigilance and patrol have gone to their martial arts, and everyone else has gone to watch the battle, so there is no one on the street."
"Why don't you go, old man?"
"The old man is not from the Lin family, and secondly, he doesn't like to practice martial arts, how can he go to watch other people's martial arts competitions? How good is it for an old man to study herbs? β
"Isn't that right? Even if everyone gathers together, it's impossible not to make a sound, right? Since it is a martial arts competition, how can there be no movement? β
"Hehe, you don't know this, I heard that more than a hundred years ago, the master of the Lin family later got the immortal fate and cultivated the immortals, he came back fifty years ago, and left a fairy array for the Lin family, once it is opened, it can be isolated from the inside and outside, and Dabi is very important to the Lin family, the fairy array is naturally opened, so you can't hear a little movement outside, and therefore the guard of the wall is not as strict as it is on weekdays, because there is an immortal array to protect you and don't have to worry about the monster sneak attack."
"Immortal Array? What is that? β
"The old man is just a third-rate, where can he understand what is going on with the immortal array? That's the stuff of the immortal family, it is said that most immortals don't understand, only a few immortals understand, how can the old man and a mortal understand this? Chen Zimo said that the tone here was a little bad.
"What do you mean by the third-rate, top-notch master, old man?" Wang Yihui changed the topic with interest.
"Well," Chen Zimo paused suddenly, pointed ahead, and said, "The old man's medicine store is just one street in front, and you can see it when you turn around." Well, you want to know about third-rate masters, second-rate masters, first-class masters, right? That is, you don't know if you're an ordinary person, otherwise you won't ask the old man, but since you have already asked the old man, I'll tell you, it's not a secret anyway. Did you know that the human body has meridians? β
"I'm a little impressed, but I can't tell."
"Then listen to the old man tell you. There are a total of 365 acupuncture points in the human body, the number of Zhou Tian, these acupuncture points are divided into twelve canons, eight great scriptures, people who practice martial arts must first get through the twelve canons, so the rivers and lakes will open up a meridian is called a third-rate master, open up four meridians for a second-rate master, open up eight meridians for a first-class master, open up all the twelve canons and eight wonders in the vein, Ren is the top master, these are collectively known as the acquired masters; When all the 12 canons and the eight great scriptures are opened, and the yuan force penetrates 365 acupuncture points, you can be promoted to an innate master. β
"What about the immortals?"
"Immortals?" Chen Zimo hesitated, until he turned to the street he just said and did not answer Wang Yihui's question, but raised his hand and pointed to the right side of the street, "See?" That's the old man's medicine. β
Wang Yihui looked in the direction pointed by Chen Zimo and saw that it was a very ordinary house, not much different from the other houses on both sides, the only difference was that there was a wooden stake more than three meters high in front of the door, and a yellow gourd the size of a four or five-year-old child hung on the top of the stake; A horizontal plaque is hung on the lintel of the house, on which the words "Yaolu" are written.
The door of the medicine house was closed, Chen Zimo quickly stepped forward and pushed it open, then turned around and looked at Wang Yihui with a smile: "Come in." β
Wang Yihui suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't understand why he was uneasy, and he didn't find anything wrong with Chen Zimo after taking a closer look; After thinking about it again, there is nothing to plot on me, what is there to be afraid of? It's a big deal, just give up the silver cake in your hand. Thinking of this, Wang Yihui immediately put the uneasiness in his heart behind him, and stepped into the medicine house.
The space in the medicine house is not large, only the size of three rooms, the room is empty, and the counters, medicine shelves and other furnishings are also very ordinary.
Chen Zimo followed him into the medicine house, closed the door casually, and then explained to Wang Yihui, who looked back: "No one will come to see the doctor today anyway, and the old man has no plans to open it, so as not to be disturbed." Okay, the old man will take you to the back to check it out, come here. As he spoke, he walked around the counter and lifted the blue-black cotton curtain to reveal a doorway.
Wang Yihui believed Chen Zimo's explanation, and when he walked over, he saw a small courtyard behind him, three earthen houses opposite, and the doors of the houses were also closed; There were a lot of medicinal herbs in the middle of the courtyard, there was a grape trellis on the left, and a person on the right was squatting on the ground with his back to the two of them, he lowered his head, and he couldn't see what he was doing; When the two entered the courtyard, he did not look up, nor did he look back, as if he was completely unaware.
Chen Zimo didn't care about him when he entered the courtyard, he just turned to Wang Yihui and said, "Okay, take off all your clothes." β
"Check here? Why don't you go inside the house and check it out? Wang Yihui was taken aback - the fence of the courtyard was nearly two meters high, but it could not completely block the view of others, and besides, there was another person in the courtyard.
"Check? What to check? Chen Zimo looked at Wang Yihui funny.
Seeing Chen Zimo's expression, Wang Yihui's heart sank, but there was still a little bit of luck, hoping that he was joking: "Aren't you going to check my injuries?" β
"Haha...... What a naivety! How naΓ―ve! The old man hasn't seen such a naΓ―ve person as you for a long time, and the old man casually said that you are still serious. β
"What are you trying to trick me in?" Chen Zimo's wild laughter took away Wang Yihui's last bit of luck.
"Hmph, there are so many questions, the old man has been annoyed for a long time, you don't want the old man to answer you again! Rabbit, signal the owner to come. β
"Okay." The rabbit crisply agreed, and as he signaled, he stood up and turned around. It was indeed a rabbit: about one and a half meters tall, dressed in human clothes - although the clothes were too large to fit on it; The two long ears were tied with a palm-wide strip of cloth, plus it had its back to Wang Yihui and its head down, squatting there was almost indistinguishable from a thin person, so Wang Yihui couldn't recognize its identity just now.
"This ...... Who the hell are you? What do you want to do? Wang Yihui looked at the rabbit that had taken off his clothes and revealed his yellow fur and understood the reason for his previous uneasiness, but he still didn't believe that an old man or a rabbit could be a threat-although the old man revealed that it was weird, and the rabbit could speak human words, it should be a monster.
At this time, the rabbit's three-petal mouth opened and showed two front teeth, and he spoke again: "The master said that it is inconvenient for him to come now, and he will come again after dark, so let's tie up the people first." Will you come or will I do it? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and picked up a weapon from the ground, but it was a pestle that was pounding medicine, and it turned out that it was pounding medicine just now.
Chen Zimo glanced at the rabbit who was eager to try: "It's better for the old man to come." You have to remember that your identity is a medicine rabbit, don't think about doing it all day long, it is difficult to explain it when others see it. β
The rabbit pouted: "I haven't had a fight since I came to you, every day is to pound medicine, pound medicine, pound medicine, pound medicine, and pound medicine, and the bones will rust." Why don't you have a good time today? Didn't you say that there wouldn't be anyone in town today? β
"There will be no one in the town, but there are still people patrolling the wall, and it will be difficult to explain if someone patrols by and finds clues nearby."
"Hmph, you have to live by this wall, if you live in the middle of the town, you don't have to worry about being discovered." The rabbit tossed the pestle and said impatiently.
"Let's not talk about whether we can get to the ground in the middle of the town, and even if we get it, can we live in it? Isn't that a problem for the owner? β
"Hmph, you have a lot of reasons. You deal with it, I'll make the medicine. The rabbit put on his clothes again and crouched back.
Chen Zimo and the rabbit were not in a hurry to deal with Wang Yihui, and he did not act impulsively, but first threw away the silver cake, and then took off his clothes to prepare for a big fight: the clothes don't fit, it's too much of a hindrance, it's still convenient to take off, not to mention that the pants don't have a belt and have to occupy a hand? As for becoming naked because of this, it doesn't matter; The silver cake is also not helpful for the next battle, if you win it, you can pick it up, if you can't win it, holding it will not do anything.
Wang Yihui took off his clothes here, and Chen Zimo smiled slightly: "That's right, it's better for you to do it yourself, otherwise you will inevitably suffer when the old man makes a move." Now don't move obediently, let the old man tie you up, and when the master comes in the evening, you will be free. If you're lucky, you'll be able to become a person like me. β
"Beings like you? What is that? β
"Although I said just now that I won't answer your question, but who let you ask this question well, the old man will talk to you again: the old man is not a mortal, but a servant."
"Huh? Haven't heard of it, don't understand. β
The rabbit interjected again at this time: "Old fellow, what nonsense are you talking to him?" Hurry up and catch him, won't you get it? You're not afraid of being spotted by patrols now? β
Chen Zimo said with a smile: "The old man and him are just talking, even if they are seen by others, what can they do?" Besides, the master won't be able to come until the evening, and the time is still long, so it's fun to tease him, isn't it? β
"Hmph, it's a lot of reason for you! But don't mistake the master, or the master will definitely not spare you. β
Chen Zimo's body trembled, he didn't know what he remembered, his face suddenly changed, and he said to Wang Yihui: "Okay, you can be arrested, the old man can make you suffer less." Well, after you are tied up, the old man can answer you three more questions. As he spoke, he pulled a rope out of his bosom.
"It's a pipe dream for me to tie your hands and catch you!" Wang Yihui said and looked at Chen Zimo vigilantly, but his feet moved to the door - Chen Zimo behaved strangely, claiming to be a man, not a human, that is also a monster, I don't know if the demon slaying ghost spirit jade card in his hand can deal with him, if not, he should take the road and escape.
"That's not good." Chen Zimo sighed and moved his feet, and floated towards Wang Yihui silently.
Chen Zimo's speed was much faster than Wang Yihui expected, and seeing that he reached out and grabbed Wang Yihui, he had the idea that he couldn't dodge, so he could only block it with both hands. The palms of the two sides intersected, and Wang Yihui suddenly let out a miserable scream, but after he was caught, he felt that his hands were not his ownβso painful that he almost lost consciousness; At the same time, Chen Zimo also let out a terrible scream that was not like a human voice, and a large puff of thick black smoke came out of his outstretched right hand, mixed with a pungent fishy smell.
"What's going on?" The rabbit looked back in surprise and looked at this scene in disbelief, "What did you do to Lao Chen?" β
While questioning, the rabbit picked up the medicine pestle and rushed to Wang Yihui, but after running two steps, he found that the clothes on his body were very obstructive, and stopped to take off his clothes; Wang Yihui also reacted at this time, knowing that this was Chen Zimo who caught the demon slaying ghost spirit jade card when he caught himself, and he was injured by the jade card, which means that the jade card is useful to him! Thinking of this, Wang Yihui's eyes lit up, and he immediately endured the pain and raised the jade plaque to Chen Zimo.
Chen Zimo completely lost his composure at this time, and the rope in his left hand had already been thrown away, and he kept screaming and slapping his right hand, but no matter how he slapped it, it was useless, and he couldn't stop the black smoke from continuing to come out, and the position gradually extended upward; After a few slaps, the left hand also began to smoke. He didn't dare to slap any more, and turned around to run into the house, when the jade plate slapped him on the back of the heart. This time, Wang Yihui obviously didn't use much strength, but Chen Zimo suddenly let out a miserable howl that he had never had before, and at the same time, his body flew off the ground, his hands and feet flew out wildly, and he hit the eaves with a "bang", but the eaves didn't have anything at all, but his whole body turned into black smoke and slowly dispersed around!
The rabbit happened to take off his clothes at this time, and when he saw this, he was furious, and rushed to Wang Yihui with a roar: "I'm going to kill you!" Its speed was only slightly faster than that of a normal person, but with each step it made a muffled "thump" sound, and the ground shook with it.
Seeing the jade card meritorious Wang Yihui's face was surprised, but in a blink of an eye, he was shocked when he saw the rabbit rushing over: this rabbit is obviously extremely powerful, and must not resist hard, and I don't know if the jade card can make a meritorious service, and the first problem to face is how to let the jade card touch it. It's not easy to do, so it's better to leave the courtyard first. Wang Yihui thought about it and went back to the pharmacy.
At this time, the rabbit also came to the door, raised the pestle and pounded forward. The cotton curtain hanging on the door was originally light and weak, but it was torn apart with a "snort" after being touched by the pestle; Wang Yihui had just run out of the range of the medicine pestle at this time, and he was not hit, but the gale that was stirred up by it hit his back like a substance, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", and his body hit the wall on one side, and then rebounded to the ground.
Wang Yihui knew that the rabbit was chasing after him, and he didn't dare to stay, and after falling to the ground, he vomited a mouthful of blood and felt a lot better, and immediately ran forward with a roll; The speed of the rabbit is slightly faster than that of ordinary people, that is, faster than Wang Yihui's, and he is naturally inferior to the rabbit now even rolling and crawling, and he was caught up by it in three or two steps and smashed it down with a pestle. Fortunately, he had already arrived at the counter at this time, Wang Yihui rolled on the spot and hid behind the counter, and the rabbit smashed into the air, suddenly smashing the ground into a pit the size of a human head, and the ground around the pit also cracked a spiderweb-like gap.
After the rabbit fell short, the pestle was swept away, and the counter was swept to a large area with a "bang", but at this time Wang Yihui had already taken the opportunity to stand up and run to the door of the medicine house, and when the rabbit put away the medicine pestle and chased after him, he had already rushed to the back of the door, but what he didn't expect was that before he opened the door, the door was suddenly knocked open, almost flattening his nose, and it hurt so much that he squatted down as soon as he covered his nose with both hands, and at the same time heard someone outside the door: "Chen Langzhong!" Come out! β
At this time, the rabbit also rushed to the front again, and it didn't care who was outside the door, it raised the medicine pestle and smashed it on the top of Wang Yihui's head.
The people outside the door seemed to be taken aback: "Rabbit demon! Then an arm flashed through the door and set up the pestle. I don't know how much strength the rabbit smashed down the medicine pestle, and it smashed into the wooden door of the medicine house before it fell, this wooden door was five or six centimeters thick, but it was like a piece of tissue paper after being touched by the medicine pestle, and it didn't stop the medicine pestle at all, but it was such a pestle that was blocked by a not strong arm, and it didn't even shake after it was blocked, as if it was just a mosquito.
"Tiger Fist!" After the person outside the door set up the medicine pestle, the other hand immediately clenched his fist and attacked, and the fierce fist wind rose out of thin air, forcing Wang Yihui to stop breathing; Halfway through the fist, a lifelike tiger head was born, wrapped around the fist and rushed towards the rabbit's head.
The rabbit wants to dodge but where is the time? I only had time to pull back the medicine pestle in front of the head, the tiger head arrived, only to hear a muffled sound of "bang", the medicine pestle has been smashed and bent, and then hit the rabbit's head directly knocked off the whole head, flew out, leaving the headless corpse in place The blood spurting straight to the roof, and then splashed down, falling Wang Yihui's head all over his face, and then the medicine pestle "bang" fell to the ground, smashing out a fist-sized pit, and finally the rabbit's headless corpse also arrived on the ground, and the limbs kept twitching.
"Huh? How are you? Then the man outside the door spoke again, and then walked inside, "How did you get here?" β
Wang Yihui wiped the blood on his face and looked up, it was no one else who walked in, it was Lin He, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "You guys ran too fast, I couldn't catch up, and then I met a person who called himself Chen Zimo, he said that he would help me heal my injuries, and then ......"
"What about Chen Zimo and the others?" Lin He interrupted Wang Yihui's words and asked.
He ...... He's dead. Are you looking for him? Wang Yihui's mind turned and he didn't say that he killed Chen Zimo by himself.
"Dead?" Lin He frowned, subconsciously thinking that it was the rabbit demon who killed Chen Zimo, then turned around and walked out, and instructed Wang Yihui as he walked, "You just stay here, don't run around anymore, and I'll send someone to look for you later." β
Lin He didn't stay outside the house, he said "go" and left with someone, it turned out that he didn't come alone, there were five or six people behind him, one of them was the little fat man Lin Quan, he was still holding a fainted teenager in his arms, the boy's face looked a little similar to Lin He, it should be his younger brother Lin Qing.
