Lu Sheng was tied up for more than a day before he was freed.

The day before, he was so good at talking and persuading that his mouth was dry, but the little boy was tenacious and abnormal, neither leaving nor responding, just blindly reading and learning words, and let Lu Sheng's tongue be a lotus, and he stood still.

If it is summed up in folk slang, it is really a stone into the pot, and oil and salt do not enter. Lu Sheng was both helpless and indignant, but after all, Xie Ying was a swordman, and he was a fish and meat, so he couldn't help it.

Lu Sheng can also see clearly, even if there is no one to serve Xie Mansion, this little boy is also very comfortable, just need an order, there are hares serving tea, hedgehogs offering fruits, green snakes carrying water, frogs sprinkling and sweeping, all without him having to spend any effort.

Lu Sheng became more and more frustrated, even if he used the toilet as an excuse, he would be relieved for a while, and there were several big snakes with thick mouths beside him, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

So calm until the second day, at night, suddenly cold, the wooden window was suddenly slammed again, and there was no wind to get up automatically.

Immediately, the female voice outside the window sounded again, still feminine and soft: "Brother Ying, Brother Ying." ”

Xie Ying didn't say a word, took a small peachwood sword and inserted it into the window, and the loud whistle outside the window started again, but it lasted longer than the last time, and it sounded for half a cup of tea, and then it was silent.

When the peachwood sword was recovered, more than seventy percent of the sword body had turned into charcoal, and only the intact sword body less than a finger long remained in front of the hilt.

Even if Lu Sheng didn't know anything, he saw some clues, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and asked, "But there are other means to resist?" ”

Xie Ying's brows furrowed slightly, and without saying a word, Lu Sheng understood that there was no other means, and he said in a low voice: "Ah Ying, let go quickly, I will protect you." ”

The boy sneered, "What can I do if I let you go?" ”

Lu Sheng knew that he had a perverse temperament and couldn't listen to half a word of questioning, so he didn't mention that he was young and weak, and only said: "The two of us worked together and fled to Xingshan Temple, where the light of the Buddha shines, and the monster will not break in." ”

Xie Ying still frowned, and said bluntly: "The demons are haunting, which is both chaotic and contrary to the earth's guidelines, why do you want me to escape?" He refused to talk to Lu Sheng any more, took the candlestick, got up and walked out of the house.

He carefully inspected the several magic circles left by his master outside the house, because this time Ge Hong had been traveling for a long time, the magic circle was exposed to the wind and sun, the patterns were blurred, and the loss was seventy-seven, eighty-eight, so that the evil spirit had a chance to take advantage of it.

It's just that his cultivation of occult arts is still shallow, and he can only try his best to repair a little, which is better than nothing.

After being busy for half a night, Xie Ying rubbed his sour eyes, washed up and went back to rest, still lying beside Lu Sheng as the day before yesterday, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Lu Sheng was worried for a long time, and when he saw him return safely, he breathed a sigh of relief, moved his wrist, only to feel stiff and sluggish, because there was no light in the four places, but he forgot that Xie Ying was only a ten-year-old child now, and he was tied up for a long time, so he was inevitably aggrieved and unwilling, and said in a low voice: "Ah Ying, my hands hurt." ”

Before the words fell, the boy got up and untied the ropes in his hands.

Lu Sheng was surprised and delighted, hurriedly thanked him, withdrew his hands and massaged the blood, but listened to the little boy say: "If you dare to escape, I will also take your life if you chase you to the ends of the earth." ”

Although Lu Sheng didn't understand why He tied him up two days ago to prevent him from causing harm, but now he is not allowed to escape, he still smiled and said, "Ah Ying, don't worry, I will never leave you half a step." ”

The boy only snorted softly.

Xu is close to the water, it is clearly close to the Dragon Boat Festival, in early summer, but the night is getting colder and colder like winter, the silk quilt covered by the two is a little thin, the little boy slept in a daze, squeezed a pair of cold feet into Lu Sheng's calves and rubbed, Lu Sheng woke up from the cold, but he couldn't bear to push him away, so he had to not move, and reached out to take the little body into his arms for him to keep warm.

After a while, Lu Sheng also fell asleep in a daze.

When he fell asleep, the little boy suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head from Lu Sheng's arms, carefully looked at the young man's sleeping face, and whispered after a while: "Are you serious, don't leave?" ”

But the young man slept soundly, and did not hear a word.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the third day, Lu Sheng searched the island, and although there was a dock on the island, there were no ships anchored. He took a closer look at the nine-curved bridge connecting the island in the middle of the lake and the shore from a distance, and the nine-curved bridge was twisted and turned, and even the fence had not been erected, so the traffic must be unobstructed, and it was all in the eyes of the guards guarding the bridge, and it was impossible to break out.

He had no choice but to turn back, and accompanied Xie Ying to chat and study the Xuanshu during the day, and then spent it peacefully.

At night, the monster came as promised, and the doors and windows were banged, which was weird, and there was a big commotion on the island, but Xie Fuzhong was still quiet and quiet, and no one noticed anything wrong.

Seeing that the doors and windows were smashed into cracks, and sooner or later they would not be able to support it, Lu Sheng squatted down and said, "Take the peachwood sword and come up." ”

After all, the little boy was only ten years old, and there was a little confusion in his cold eyes, and he said blankly: "What to do, what to do?" ”

Lu Sheng said: "Out of the island, he will be fully prepared in the future, and then he will fight with it." ”

Xie Ying sighed: "I raised the flag for three days, and I didn't see anyone coming, but I was afraid that I would be trapped by it a long time ago, how could I break out." ”

Lu Sheng said proudly: "You have to give it a try, how can you sit still and wait to die?" ”

Xie Ying's eyes widened slightly, he was free and withdrawn, rarely saw people, but this young man was like the sun, enthusiastic and persistent, and now the form was sinister, but he was still indomitable, which made his heart rare and warm, and he didn't feel that there was a little more hope...... A little dependence.

The little boy held the peachwood sword in his hand, lying on Lu Sheng's back, when it was, the wooden window held on for several days, and finally was knocked open, and a black shadow broke in with a strong wind and a strong fishy atmosphere, accompanied by the sound of wings flapping.

Lu Sheng carried the child on his back, supported the ground with one hand and quickly dodged, but he didn't know what he was suddenly tripping over, he secretly said that it was not good, but he tried his best to maintain his balance, and he did not fall Xie Ying down, but he fell to the ground with both knees, and his knees smashed on the ground of the bluestone bricks, making a loud bang.

His face turned pale in pain, but he didn't have time to care about it at all, and then flashed to the right side, avoiding the attack again, Xie Ying was also quick-eyed, and with a backhand sword, he stabbed into the black shadow.

Still a companion

Xie Ying looked at Hei Yu thoughtfully, but Lu Sheng didn't have time to look aside, because the wooden door was silent, he was afraid that the thing that hit the door would also enter through the window, but fortunately, he glanced at the corner of his eye, but found the thing that had tripped him before, the narrow scabbard was wrapped in black and brown fish skin, and the hilt was wrapped with a black cotton rope very easily, because it was wrapped with his own hands, Lu Sheng naturally recognized it at a glance, it was actually his hanging pot.

Lu Sheng was overjoyed, and he didn't bother to think about why this saber appeared here, and hurriedly ran over and stepped on the scabbard, and pulled out the hanging pot.

As soon as he changed his hand, the shadow had already slammed through the window, but it was impartial, as if it had actively hit the tip of the sword, but this time it was too late to scream, and it turned into black smoke and disappeared, leaving only a few small black feathers, fluttering and swaying, slowly falling in front of the two.

Lu Sheng was shocked, and he didn't feel heavy when he carried the little boy on his back, so he only stood in place panting, holding the little boy in one hand and holding the sword in the other hand as his chest, for fear that there would be another evil spirit attack.

But a few breaths of effort, the wooden door was hit by the yin wind in an instant, but there was no black shadow to break in, the moonlight outside the door was bright, the hibiscus pavilion in the distance, there were flower buds slightly open, white petals bathed in the moonlight, like white jade light.

A plainly dressed woman turned her back to Manchi Xianhua and stood in front of the two. She combed her gray hair very neatly, and her appearance was only thirty years old, and her expression was sad, looking at the two of them.

Lu Sheng only felt that the little boy lying on his back suddenly grabbed his shoulders tightly, and immediately as if he was facing a great enemy, he shouted with a horizontal sword: "Where is the demon, report your name!" ”

The woman didn't say a word, and her figure suddenly turned into countless black feathers, swept away with the yin wind.

Lu Sheng stood blankly in place, but he noticed that the coldness around him gradually dissipated, and the strange sense of oppression that made the scalp explode disappeared, and he heard Xie Ying say, "Let me go." ”

Thinking that it should be fine, Lu Sheng squatted down, put the little boy back on the ground, the two of them helped up the tables and chairs, and covered the doors and windows, but the doors and windows were damaged, Lu Sheng could only hastily repair them, find a few fine firewood to block them, and call craftsmen to repair them tomorrow.

After he was busy, he turned back to the wing, but saw Xie Ying twisting a black feather with two fingers in contemplation, Lu Sheng asked, "Ah Ying, but there is a clue?" ”

Xie Ying said: "That woman's surname is Yuan, she was originally my nursing mother, and she went to the suburbs of Beijing to pick up books for me in March, but she was bitten to death by a wild wolf. ”

Lu Sheng said movingly: "Could it be that Yuan Nurse can't rest assured after her death, and she can't come to visit you?" What kind of monster is that monster that broke through doors and windows...... Ghosts? ”

Xie Ying lowered his eyes, put the black feather in his hand close to the candle flame and burned it, and then said, "If my guess is right, this thing should be a ghost car." ”

Ancient books are loaded, the ghost car is the unjust soul of a pregnant woman who died in vain, flying at night and hiding by day, clothes and hair for birds, and hair for women. And because of a wisp of obsession, the most like to take the son of man to raise, the night with blood spots children's clothes as a mark, the day to fly and take it.

It is to prevent ghost cars from abducting people, and the people have always had a taboo not to let children's clothes get stained with night dew, and they should be withdrawn into the house before sunset and the door should be closed.

Lu Sheng naturally heard about it, and sighed unconsciously: "Before the ghost car was born, they were all poor people. ”

Xie Ying glanced at him, although he was seven or eight points similar to his adult demeanor, but because of a round little face and a pair of big round eyes, he was not as arrogant and spicy as an adult, but a little more coquettish like a gamble, Lu Sheng watched from the sidelines, and his love in his heart inevitably increased.

"I was pitiful in life, but after I died, I was willing to be the lackey of Emperor Lihe's mother, and my sin was unforgivable."

Lu Sheng asked blankly, "Emperor Heli ...... Where is it sacred? ”

Xie Ying frowned slightly, but still patiently pointed to the table, on the pear blossom wood table painted with raw lacquer and smooth as a mirror, a few pomegranate seeds that were crystal clear and red as cinnabar appeared at some point.
