47. Evil and troubled times
Evil and troubled times
It is true that although the crown prince Li Heng is timid and easy to vomit when he sees disgusting things, he is still very charismatic on the whole.
No, he just stood here arrogantly and said that to Zuo Qianhu, Zuo Qianhu believed it, this is not some kind of witchcraft, but the personality charm of the emperor.
Maybe this young prince can really make a difference in the country.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and Zuo Qianhu asked, "Your Highness, what should we do next?" β
The crown prince Li Heng looked at Baili Yu, who had almost rested, and said, "Dao Chief, what do you think?" β
Zuo Qianhu originally thought that this powerful man was just a subordinate of the prince, but now it seems that the prince actually trusts him very much. Zuo Qianhu was afraid that when the time came, a demon monk Pudu Cihang would appear again, and he made up his mind to observe Baili Yu carefully. γ
And Baili Yu didn't know that he had been targeted by Zuo Qianhu, and when he saw the prince Li Heng asking him, he said his thoughts: "Although this Buddha envoy died here, Poor Dao believes that when she was dying again, she had already passed the information to Pudu Cihang to let him know." Pudu Cihang is not such an easy Buddha to deal with, and what we have to do is ...... It's to find foreign help. β
After listening to Bai Liyu's analysis, Prince Li Heng's expression was a little depressed: "However, Yan Chixia's whereabouts are unknown so far. β
Baili Yu thought for a while and said, "The prince doesn't need to worry, the reason why Poor Dao chose Guobei Town is not without second-hand preparations. Poor Dao used to come here when he was young...... There is a Lanruo Temple in Guobei Town, and there is a tree demon in the Lanruo Temple who has practiced for thousands of years, and his mana is strong, so he must be able to fight with Pudu Cihang. β
Prince Li Heng's eyes lit up, but he instinctively felt fear of the monster, so he asked, "Tree demon...... Is the dryad a good demon? β
Baili Yu shook his head: "No, no, no, the tree demon is vicious by nature, and it manipulates female ghosts to seduce passers-by and men to absorb yang energy for practice, and it is very evil." β
Zuo Qianhu became more and more incomprehensible, and asked first: "Then how can such a tree demon help us get rid of Pudu Cihang?" β
"Heaven must not be divulged." Baili Yu mysteriously didn't plan to continue, Zuo Qianhu still looked puzzled, but the crown prince Li Heng showed a clear expression.
In fact, after Baili Yuyi knew that this world was the world of the so-called Chinese ghost story, he already had the idea of taking advantage of the fisherman in his heart.
First of all, why are many of the protagonists in a lot of trouble? Because they like to make enemies everywhere and then turn powerful enemies into allies to deal with them together. Although it can achieve the effect of rapid leveling, it is also easy to kill teammates.
In the first life, Baili Yu was still an ordinary person, and when he had not yet fallen into this kind of adventure, he had seen a very popular movie promotion, and the movie was called "When Sadako Met Ga Coconut". The movie has not yet been released, but there is a scene in the promotional film that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - Gaco crushes Sadako's videotape.
As the so-called snipe and clam compete, the fisherman profits, Baili Yu feels that he can be this fisherman, let Pudu Cihang and the tree demon grandma dog bite dog, Bai Liyu already has a plan in his heart, but the so-called success is in the people, and the plan is in the sky, whether it can be followed or depends on the will of heaven.
In any case, Guo Beizhen can't go back, the Buddha envoy was directly in the restaurant at that time to recite the Sanskrit sound of asking for life, presumably did not put the lives of ordinary people in his eyes, in order not to cause unnecessary harm, the prince of Baili Yu Li Heng and Zuo Qianhu decided to stay in Lanruo Temple tonight.
Lanruo Temple, originally Lanruo [re], is derived from the Sanskrit word [aranya], which means a place of silence and no distress and trouble.
But few people know the deeper meaning, but they think that the name of this temple is really very poetic.
But in fact, it is a dilapidated temple, there are no monks, and the Buddha statue is also dilapidated, looking more like a demon cave.
Baili Yu was a little embarrassed, the temple that the demons were most afraid of was full of demons and monsters, and the monks who had attained the Tao were actually transformed by demons.
The death of the country will produce demons, Buddha is not Buddha, and demons are not demons - Baili Yu looked at the prince Li Heng who had been dragging his sleeve because of the deep ghost aura of Lanruo Temple, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, obviously he was just a teenager, but he shouldered the fate of changing the entire country.
Baili Yu took the crown prince Li Heng and Zuo Qianhu into Lanruo Temple, found a room with a relatively good location and walked in.
Zuo Qianhu picked up some firewood and lit it to bake clothes.
And the crown prince Li Heng took out all the food that had been packed in the package, and at the same time took out a neat set of men's clothes to change into - anyway, it has been discovered, so there is no need to disguise it anymore.
Baili Yu walked around the room, and finally found an open space to sit in the middle, sealed his hands and recited a mantra, and then drew a circle on the open space that could not be seen by the naked eye, and then said to Zuo Qianhu and the prince Li Heng: "Wait for the poor road to go out and arrange some things, the prince and the master of Qianhu will hide in this circle, remember not to go out of this circle no matter what happens." β
The crown prince Li Heng, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the cover with the women's clothes in his arms, and asked puzzledly, "Circle?" Where is there a circle? β
Seeing that Zuo Qianhu was also completely puzzled like the crown prince Li Heng, it was only after a hundred miles that Yu remembered that the crown prince Li Heng and Zuo Qianhu couldn't see anything without opening their eyes.
So, Bai Li Yu took out two charms from his arms and lit them in front of the eyes of the crown prince Li Heng and Bai Li Yu respectively, and then both of them were shocked to find that the empty space where there was nothing really had a circle with a faint golden light, and it seemed that the circle seemed to be very safe.
Seeing that the two of them could finally see the circle, Baili Yu said: "Poor Dao used a spell to open the eyes of heaven for the two of them for a short time, and they can see things that ordinary people can't seeβincluding the original appearance of demons and monsters, although the appearance is a little terrifying, but it will not be tempted by those beautiful female ghosts in Lanruo Temple." β
The crown prince Li Heng walked into the circle with a little excitement: "I've seen the appearance of the centipede essence, and there is nothing to scare Lone." β
Zuo Qianhu nodded, obviously his thoughts were the same as those of the crown prince Li Heng - moreover, it was obviously much safer to be able to see demons and monsters than to not see anything.
After the three of them had filled their stomachs, and after Baili Yu repeatedly explained that he couldn't get out of this circle no matter what, he left the room and closed the door.
******************************
Baili Yu, who left the room, thought about it, walked to the lake of Lanruo Temple, he found a clean place to sit down, and then threw the stone in his hand into the lake, setting off a ripple for a moment.
He's waiting.
Wait for someone.
Or rather.
Wait for a female ghost.
When he felt a burst of ghost qi coming, Bai Liyu knew that he was waiting for that ghost to come.
He pretended not to know anything and threw a stone into the lake, and at the same time, a woman's delicate and soft voice sounded behind him: "Childe, is it alone?" β
Baili Yu turned his head, and the person who came was a beautiful female ghost.
This female ghost was dressed in purple clothes, combed high in a bun, and obviously had a face that could be called innocent, but at this time she looked a little sluggish.
In fact, the sluggishness of the female ghost was given by Baili Yu...... The shock came.
Bai Li Yu, who was originally dressed in black, was sitting by the lake, and the female ghost couldn't see Bai Li Yu's face at all. And the moment he turned his head, the sad eyes, the handsome face, the lips that made people want to kiss, and the black hair that was blown by the wind all reflected the heart of the female ghost.
She had never seen such a good-looking man, and the sorrow in his eyes told her that he was a man with a story, not one of those vulgar ordinary people who couldn't extricate themselves when they saw beauty.
The female ghost suddenly didn't want to β‘β‘ directly with her body as before, she wanted the man to remember her name, and she didn't want him to die, so she said softly: "Zi'er has seen the child, it's cold in the middle of the night, let's go back and rest early." β
Baili Yu didn't expect that this female ghost was actually a literary type, and she didn't take off her clothes to tease without saying a word.
However, the play still had to be performed, so he still maintained that slightly sad appearance, and lowered his voice: "It's cold in the middle of the night, why didn't the girl rest earlier?" β
The female ghost Zi'er was stunned by Baili Yu's rhetorical question, and then walked over and sat in a relatively safe position not far from Bai Li Yu: "Alone...... It's a little lonely. β
Baili Yu tilted his head slightly and looked at Zi'er, and said, "What a coincidence, I'm the same as the girl, I can't sleep alone to breathe." β
Zi'er paddled barefoot in the water in the lake, and then said to Baili Yu, "What's the trouble with Childe?" Can you tell Zi'er? Zi'er may not be able to help Childe come up with a solution, but she can also make Childe feel more comfortable. β
Bai Liyu shook his head: "What can a dying person have on his mind?" β
Zi'er asked puzzledly: "Childe is in the prime of life, how can he be a dying person?" β
Baili Yu paused, and suddenly asked, "Girl, do you believe that there are demons and monsters in the world?" β
Zi'er panicked in her heart, and said in her heart, could it be that her identity was discovered? But seeing that the other party was still unhurried, he tried to suppress the suspicion and worry, and said with a slightly tangled look: "This ...... Zi'er has never seen it, and she doesn't dare to say that she has it, and she doesn't dare to say that she doesn't. β
"And I've seen it." Baili Yu stared at Zi'er's eyes, and when she found a hint of panic in her eyes, she continued, "I was originally a general in the court, but I was framed because I saw through that the national teacher of the dynasty was transformed by demons. After escaping from the capital, he was hunted down and killed one after another, and now he ...... I could sense that he was coming, and when he came, I couldn't leave. β
Zi'er looked at Bai Liyu, as if judging whether what Bai Li Yu said was true or false: "However, you don't seem to be afraid at all." β
"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, I have been running away for too long, and I don't want to run anymore." Speaking of this, Baili Yu seemed to find that he had talked too much, and said to Zi'er: "Miss Zi'er is right, it's getting late, it's really time to rest...... Miss Zi'er, let's rest early. β
When Baili Yu returned to the room, the crown prince Li Heng had already fallen asleep in the circle, while Zuo Qianhu was sitting in the circle with a sword with a vigilant face, and he was already ready to attack when he heard the door open, but he was relieved to see that the person who came was Bai Liyu.
Baili Yu found a relatively clean place to lie down, and then said to Zuo Qianhu: "You sleep, it should be fine tonight." β
"Hmm." Zuo Qianhu nodded and didn't say a word, or rather, there was no common language between the two people.
******************************
And Bailiyu's plan is also going on as planned, or in other words, the current trend is much better than the original plan.
His initial plan was to take the initiative to seduce female ghosts who seduce men to absorb yang energy, and then first be reserved to make female ghosts feel different. After that, he still planned to make a fake entanglement with the female ghost who couldn't resist the temptation, and then just gave up taking advantage of the main topic when he was about to get into the main topic, and then said that he was coming, and the old monster called Pudu Cihang was here, so he fled without saying a word.
At that time, the female ghost will definitely tell this strange phenomenon to the Dryad Grandma, and the Dryad Grandma will take this monster called Pudu Cihang in her heart no matter what. As the saying goes, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, there are so many big monsters in this world, but each monster has its own territory, and Pudu Cihang is likely to be remembered as an intruder by the tree demon grandmother. When the two of them have the opportunity to meet, they will definitely start fighting directly, and at that time, the tree demon grandma will not have the opportunity to join forces with Pudu Cihang.
Baili Yu thought very beautifully, but he was still afraid that he was not attractive enough, not enough for the female ghost to treat him as a special being, but he never expected that he himself was too good, or too charming, and the female ghost was directly fascinated by him.
No, after Baili Yu left, the female ghost Zi'er went back directly to find the owner of this Lanruo Temple, the tree demon grandma.
The tree demon grandmother is a tree spirit who has been cultivating in Lanruo Temple for thousands of years, and her demon method is profound, and her subordinates control thousands of female banshees and ghosts, specially used to confuse strong men to absorb β‘β‘ soul cultivation. And the tree has no gender, although the tree demon grandma is called grandma and also wears women's clothes, but his voice is sometimes male and sometimes female, without gender.
And on this day, when the tree demon grandma saw Zi'er coming back empty-handed, her originally good mood disappeared all of a sudden, and she asked with a displeased face: "Zi'er, you dare to come back to see me without bringing back the man's yang energy!" β
Zi'er listened to the words of the tree demon grandma and quickly knelt on the ground, her face revealing a panic that could not be concealed: "Grandma, it's not that Zi'er is lazy, but that the cooked duck flew!" β
The dryad raised her eyebrows, and her ugly bark-like face came out in a voice that was both male and female: "Oh? Could it be that Yan Chixia came out to make trouble? β
Zi'er shook her head, with a look of shock and fear: "Grandma, this time it's not Yan Chixia's stinky Taoist priest, but a great monk." β
The dryad grandmother wrinkled her orange-peeled face, and asked with concern, "Monk?" Where did the monk come from, can you know the details? Tell me what happened today. β
Zi'er paused, and said the reason she had made up on the road directly to the tree demon grandmother: "Back to grandma, here's the thing, and listen to Zi'er tell you carefully." Zi'er met a young man full of yang energy today, two
This time the tree demon grandma also had to pay attention, although he and Yan Chixia were different, but Yan Chixia would not stop his people from killing those who should be killed, the so-called people who should be killed are those men who are tempted by female ghosts.
It is easy to be deceived by women to do beastly things, such a man is also despised by Yan Chixia, so Yan Chixia naturally will not stop the tree demon grandma from killing that group of scum to practice, but suddenly this monk appeared, listening to Zi'er's description, it seems that he is not the kind of person who will care if the dead should be killed......
The tree demon grandmother can be said to be very angry, she will not allow anyone to come to her territory to smash the field, so she said in the voice of the man and woman: "It is like this...... Pudu Cihang is right, he dares to come to my territory, and he dares to be so arrogant, if he is caught by me, he will definitely make him look good! β
In this way, Pudu Cihang was remembered by the tree demon grandmother.
And what will Purdue Cihang do now? He was on his way, and the target of the rush was naturally Guo Beizhen.
The moment the Buddha died, he got the memory of the Buddha's dying moment, and he also knew that the people who killed the Buddha's envoy were Baili Yu and Zuo Qianhu.
Bai Liyu's slap in the face made him angry, and Zuo Qianhu's backlash and betrayal made him even more angry, and the incompetence of the Buddhist envoy also made him feel disgraced, so he decided to solve this matter in person.
So, he took three Buddhist envoys of the same level as the Buddha envoy and a group of humans carrying a sedan chair and began to go to Guobei Town to arrest people.
Of course, he and the Buddhist envoys flew to Guobei Town, and those who carried the sedan chair were temporary workers from the local yamen.
No matter what, this posture is still indispensable, and the most indispensable thing for him to be a national teacher of Cihang Hall is momentum.
It is worth mentioning that although centipedes are easy to reproduce, they are only some Taoist centipedes that can parasitize the skin of humans, and ordinary centipedes can't do it, which is also the reason why Pudu Cihang's subordinates have no low-level demon soldiers, only intermediate demon soldiers and high-level demon soldiers.
