To this day, Tang Ying has been gone for a month.

Li Chunfeng stood in the inner courtyard, looking at the angry ice-blue magic circles in the four corners of the courtyard, and knew that those were coming again.

It happened on the night of the second day after Tang Ying left. The wind gradually blew fiercely, and he felt very distressed when he thought of Tang Ying walking against the wind on the road.

Call!

The wind blew the snow open his broken window, and he was shocked to find that the window paper had begun to peel off at some point. When he got up to close it, his hand touched the lattice, and he thought to himself: This is really an old and dilapidated house, just like him. It is a sin to call the phoenix-like shadow to perch on rotten wood instead of sycamore......

As he closed the window absentmindedly, he saw a bright light flickering outside. Scarlet pairs of light floated on the walls of his outer courtyard, looking like the scene of the night walk of the hundred ghosts in the middle of the year every year. With his visual power, he could clearly discern what it was, and the only explanation he couldn't really see was that the things themselves were covered by something.

That's right, Halloween. This year, he didn't go to defend Zhongyuan's Halloween, and he didn't have enough strength. So, is this the ghost who escaped at that time coming to him?

He quickly put on his robes, plucked his mahogany sword from the wall, and pinned all the charms that existed in the house to his waist or tucked them in his sleeves. Although his aura is gone, his physical strength is slowly exhausted. But the instinct to save his life rekindled his spirit. He can't die here, this moment. He told himself, at least, until Ah Ying returned.

With the courage to kick the door open, he jumped into the middle of the courtyard. One by one, the shadows in the darkness appeared, and they turned out to be small beasts wrapped in dead air.

There are lynxes, hares, grass snakes, and even hedgehogs or something. These small animals have never come to the realm of human habitation, so how can they make an exception today?

He picked up a stone on his tiptoe, grabbed it in his hand, and bounced his thumb at the nearest hedgehog. The hedgehog didn't hide and took a beating, and his round body shook twice before falling off the courtyard wall. The other beasts didn't react, and stared at him as motionless as specimens, only turning their heads toward him as he moved.

Are they waiting for anything?

Li Chunfeng suddenly remembered the demon beasts that he and Tang Ying had seen on the outskirts of Bingzhou, guarding outside the bookworm cave, and suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.

It is true that the puppets of these demon beasts have extremely low intelligence and cannot inflict fatal damage on him. But he is now old, his body has not fully recovered, and if he falls into a protracted battle, I am afraid that he will run out of vitality.

Exhaust yourself...... Is this the purpose of the black-robed man?

He took a step back and closed the door to the hut from the outside. Then he picked out all the charms that could fix the soul, and sandwiched a dozen of them on the left and right bows.

There are four of them on the courtyard wall on the left, and the little hedgehog that fell down has not yet returned. There are five on the right. The speed of the lynx must be the fastest, and it is also necessary to prevent the grass snake from being taken by surprise, and the rabbit should not be taken lightly...... At this moment, he was a little secretly sad. The dignified Li Chunfeng, the Li Chunfeng who can control the four gods, now has to take great pains in the face of several possessed small animals, which is really ridiculous and sad.

In the depths of the dark forest, a crow cries rang out unexpectedly. As if it was a signal, the beasts on the wall arched their backs one after another and rushed towards Li Chunfeng.

The first was posted on the center of the lynx's eyebrows, and it immediately fell like a stone. Then he sent out two of them at the same time, and when they were pressed against the foreheads of a grass snake and a hare, they also fell down like lynxes.

He plucked onions from dry land and climbed the eaves, taking advantage of the fact that the remaining animals pounced on the spot where he had just stood, and shot the remaining charms in one go. In the small courtyard, only a few "poof, poof" heavy objects fell on the ground, and then calm was restored.

He came to the outer court. The little hedgehog was still trying to climb the wall, and he nailed it to the base of the wall with his sword. When the hedgehog stopped moving, he stepped closer to take a look. The "hedgehog" was so rotten in some places that bones could be seen.

It's a puppet.

He picked up some branches and set up a fire outside the yard. Throw the carcasses of these beasts outside, and burn them all out in a fire.

It was clear that the attack did not intend to kill him. Maybe the black-robed man wanted to harass him to get him out of this small courtyard. Maybe he thought that if he left here, he would definitely take Bai Zetu with him, or go to the place where Bai Zetu was hidden.

Does the black-robed man know that Bai Zetu is no longer in this small courtyard? If he could sense it, why would he stare at this small courtyard? What the hell did he have to let himself go? Where the hell is the black-robed man? Why is it so delayed? Could it be that he hasn't recovered since he was injured last time? But that's not right, Ah Ying clearly said that the black-robed man followed her thousands of miles to Mount Tai.

Li Chunfeng was puzzled. Anyway, Bai Zetu was not here, he was sure that he would have no worries about his life until the black-robed man got it.

As a result, he strengthened his belief in waiting for Tang Ying to come back here. He had a hunch that if he was really forced away, he would probably never be able to get close to Tang Ying again, and he couldn't be separated from her so inexplicably. For him to see Tang Ying, and for his own little dignity. He was determined to carry it until Tang Ying came back!

He flipped out all the yellow sheet paper in stock. Draw talismans during the day, set up formations at night, and stick to this dilapidated courtyard almost obsessively. Xiao'er and Xiaomeng were also called to help.

In order to fight against demons, he began to practice the secret art of immortality again. Although his appearance was gradually weakening, he felt a new force surging around his shattered fox pill, like a butterfly that had just broken out of its cocoon and was reborn.

Occasionally, while he was sleeping, he could hear Bai Zeshen whispering in his ear, but he could never hear what he was saying.

The monster's attack on the small courtyard is gradually escalating. Whenever the crow of the night shift sounded, a group of increasingly ferocious beast walking corpses rushed towards his yard. First it was a goat, a fox, and then a black bear. These puppets are tireless and endless. But he was made of flesh. Every day's fatigue is piling up. He thought that the hateful black-robed man might be watching him in the dark, waiting for the day when he would collapse from exhaustion, waiting to see the beasts swarm up and tear his fragile body to shreds.

He competed with the black-robed man and himself. Ate almost all the stocks of pills. In order to prolong his life, he did not hesitate to do anything even if side effects such as nosebleeds became more and more obvious.

Every day when the sun sets, his battlefield begins. Once upon a time, he stood on the peach blossom tree overlooking the entire Chang'an City, an imperial city, more than 100 lifang, and millions of people under his protection. And now his battlefield is just a hundred-square-meter courtyard. This small city is the most important place in his life.

Whenever night fell, he stood on the eaves of the house, looking at the monster beast walking corpses rushing towards him, and there was only one thought in his heart. Hold on and wait for Tang Ying to come back!
