In front of the black hall of Kongtong Temple, on the dead branches and leaves, a few black crows suddenly stopped. The eyes of the black crow roamed the quiet courtyard of the house, and saw a few figures swaying in the courtyard, but they did not fly away.
In the underground secret room of the Mahavira Hall, behind the lighted door, there was a bloody thing sitting on a futon. Incense burned in the room, but it couldn't hide the heavy smell of blood. The scarlet mass had been skinned, and from the head down, the skin was halfway peeled, and the left shoulder was still covered with intact flesh, but the right shoulder was already halfway up.
The skin with two holes exposed at the eyes hung lifelessly like the blanket of a monk hanging down from his waist, and no hair could be seen. And the flesh and blood sitting inside was simply miserable. It looks like freshly chopped pork, and the eyeballs are unobstructed by eyelids, and they are unusually prominent. There are also terrible white teeth, which are so gloomyly exposed, that at first glance it looks like a smile.
Shen Man turned his head and saw such a scene, and almost fainted with fright. "What's going on, this person who has been skinned is the Master Jingjing? Lian Yi is stripping people's skins again? β
Tang Jiuyue's bone china mask couldn't see any expression, and even his eyes were cold, "Lian Yi has no reason to rip off his human skin, someone is planting it." β
"Master Jingjing is the only monk in Kongtong Temple, Lian Yi pretended to be a little monk, if he can't see anyone tomorrow, he will definitely expose this matter." Shen Man frowned worriedly, "And this method of peeling is so unique, it is very reminiscent of the Chen Zhou case." Not to mention anything else, Ning Tao has seen Lian Yi, in case someone finds out the case, Lian Yi is afraid that it will be difficult to preserve. β
Tang Jiuyue's eyes were cold, "It's not just Lianyi. β
Shen Man suddenly said, "Even the matter of being in Taige will be exposed, so it will be difficult for Taige to protect." β
Tang Jiuyue smiled with relief, "Yes, you will also think about Taige." β
Shen Man was ashamed, "It used to be that my ideas were too simple. β
Tang Jiuyue walked up to the blood and half-squatted down to observe. Shen Man saw that she was not afraid, and felt that he couldn't be too timid, so he stepped forward boldly.
Tang Jiuyue looked at the bloody body for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
Shen Man was so frightened by her smile that he almost jumped out of his throat, and hurriedly asked, "What are you laughing at?" β
Tang Jiuyue said unhurriedly, "The appearance of this bald monk being skinned is really like the clay sculpture with needles I saw in the Danmen at the beginning." It's also half covered with skin, half exposed bones and veins......" She looked hesitantly at the blood on the ground and frowned, "but the scene is not so dirty. Then he covered his nose and said in disgust, "It's not so stinky." Then he got up and walked back.
Shen Man was dumbfounded on the side, in such a disgusting scene that he looked, Tang Jiuyue could actually be regarded as looking at the fake clay statue of the person in Danmen?
"Miss Tang, what are you doing?" Shen Man saw Tang Jiuyue put down two jade artifacts at the door, respectively in the Kun position and the Kan position, these two positions were the positions for subduing demons and eliminating evil. "There will be demons here?" She immediately retreated and hid by Tang Jiuyue's side.
Tang Jiuyue said helplessly, "Look at this secret room, under the Daxiong Treasure Palace, what is in the Daxiong Treasure Palace?" β
"Buddha Shakyamuni." Shen Man replied.
Tang Jiuyue didn't want to bother more, but the object was Shen Man, so she was a little more patient, "Can you take a closer look at the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha?" And the eighteen Arhat statues were originally to suppress evil things, and this secret room was dug under the Buddha statue, which is the place where the Buddha statue was to suppress. I don't know what was buried here before, but now it's like a feng shui murder place. No matter what dies here in the future, it will become ferocious. β
Shen Man was more and more frightened by what she said, "Then you quickly cast a spell to suppress it!" β
Tang Jiuyue rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Are you a Taoist priest or a nun?" β
Shen Man looked at her black and soft hair, and said from the bottom of his heart, "You are the youngest and most promising Yin and Yang family ever!" β
Tang Jiuyue was vaguely proud, "What else?" β
Shen Man seemed to understand her thoughts, "The smartest, most beautiful, and most tasteful gate guard!" β
Tang Jiuyue replied lightly, "The sycophants are good." But I couldn't help but smile on my face. Since I am your master, if the master has an order, the disciple will never obey? β
Shen Man had a vague bad premonition, but he still stiffened his neck and nodded.
Tang Jiuyue smiled treacherously, "Then let's borrow your blood and energy." As he spoke, he grabbed Shen Man's right hand, cut off her fingers, held her hand and pinched the blood hard, and wrote crooked ghost drawings on the torn strips of cloth while pinching.
"Master......"
"Good apprentice." Tang Jiuyue smiled lightly, like a flower, and was fascinated by it, "Being a teacher is by no means stingy with your own blood, but your blood is more useful." β
"Are you sure that the blood of an unlucky man of mine is able to suppress evil spirits rather than strengthen them?" Shen Man asked sincerely, looking at his slightly blue knuckles, a little tingling.
Tang Jiuyue had just pasted a ghost drawing talisman in the middle of the bloody forehead, and when she heard this, she shook her hand, and then smiled embarrassedly, "It should be...... Yes, right? β
After setting up the formation to eliminate the anger, Tang Jiuyue looked at the bloody body, and then at Lian Yi, who was pointed at the acupoint, and finally couldn't bear to let Shen Man carry the bloody body out. He coughed lightly and said, "You carry Lianyi on your back, let's leave quickly." β
"Huh?" Shen Man was a wolf, and now he broke his fingers and contributed blood, Tang Jiuyue actually let himself carry people out?!
Tang Jiuyue said, "Lian Yi is clearly here to blame people, tomorrow we will see who makes the decision to lead people here, who is most suspected of killing Jingjing." β
Shen Man nodded solemnly.
After leaving the secret room and letting go of Lian Yi, Shen Man looked at the scene of Kongtong Temple and felt that things might be getting more and more difficult.
Tang Jiuyue suddenly stood in front of her and said, "Stretch out your hand." β
Shen Man stretched out his hand, Tang Jiuyue took it, carefully looked at her fingers, and then poured out a yellow powdery thing from his arms and covered Shen Man's wound. Then wrap it in a soft silk scarf.
Shen Man's heart was full of warmth and joy, but he heard Tang Jiuyue whisper "Oops" and said, "This seems to be ...... Not an anti-traumatic cream? β
Shen Man, "......"
Tang Jiuyue apologized with three points, "Fortunately, you are invincible." Then he threw off Shen Man's hand, found a gap, and sneaked away.
Shen Man stood alone, watching her run away like smoke and running around her back, and after being silent for a while, he actually smiled.
Lian Yi was lying on the carved wooden bed, this bed was full of style, and after Shen Man entered the house, he devoted himself to how Lian Yi could move such an exaggerated and extravagant bed to this ghost temple in the deep mountains overnight.
Tang Jiuyue sat on the edge of the bed, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and spread it out, only to see the short and long silver needles neatly arranged inside. She picked up a needle, pierced Lian Yi's Zhongchi point quickly and hard, picked up another needle, and pricked it again.
Shen Man hid to the side and watched, poking his head out.
It is said that when the gate supervisor of the court is proficient in the six major categories of Yin and Yang Dao, except for the Jiaozheng Gate. Then this comes from Danmen's needle pricking technology, which is naturally first-class, Shen Man is convinced of this. When Tang Jiuyue got serious, she had a familiar cold face, and her focused eyes would not move a little away.
This made Shen Man very admired and worshipped, and compared with Fang Cai, she seemed to have changed as a person.
"There's a bathtub behind the screen, and you go and fetch water to clean it yourself. There is also a deck chair here, so you can stay here at night. Tang Jiuyue said while pricking the needle.
Shen Man looked at Lian Yi worriedly.
"Don't worry, I can still do this with Cheng DΓΉ's distraction," Tang Jiuyue looked at Shen Man, "There is already a patient here, if there is another typhoid fever, I don't care." β
Shen Man smiled and hurriedly went to fetch water.
After a while, the water in the house was loud. Tang Jiuyue raised her eyebrows to look at the graceful figure looming behind the screen, and the very inopportune pleasant sound of water, she lost her mind for a moment, and then cleared her throat and said, "Are you taking a bath or watering the ground?" β
Shen Man's side immediately fell silent.
Tang Jiuyue looked at it curiously and listened carefully.
It took a while to hear a few very small noises, but the sound was strange.
Tang Jiuyue walked over slowly, bypassing the screen, but she didn't see Shen Man. Looking into the bucket, a pair of hands were wrapped around her neck like the hands of a water ghost. Tang Jiuyue wanted to slap this hand off, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help it. Because she saw a man under the water.
Tang Jiuyue was pulled into the water for a moment and got up, bringing out Shen Man, who was not wearing an inch by the way. The two looked at each other for a while.
Tang Jiuyue asked, "Why are you hiding in the water?" β
Shen Man replied sincerely, "You won't make a sound when you take a bath in the water......"
Tang Jiuyue glanced at her exposed fragrant shoulders and took off her mask, "Apprentice." β
"Master." Shen Man looked at Tang Jiuyue, her fair skin was stained with a little droplet, which was extremely clear.
Tang Jiuyue suddenly dodged Shen Man, pressed her into the water by the way, turned around, clapped her hands, left, and continued to prick needles.
Shen Man, "Gollum ......"
After Shen Man finished spitting out the bath water, Tang Jiuyue also got a needle here. She looked Shen Mandao up and down, "I'm afraid Lian Yi won't be at peace tonight, you live here and watch her, don't let her run around at will." β
Shen Man nodded and pulled out a curtain sermon, "Then I'll tie her." β
Tang Jiuyue, "...... Whatever you want. β
