Chapter 44: Into the Bone Marrow
"โโ Tsuk"
"Tuk! Tuk โโ"
"The third watch of the child is safe and sound. โ
"Bellโ"
In the middle of the night, the night was quiet.
The people of the entire Chang County fell into a deep sleep.
It's quiet.
The night was getting darker.
Knock! Knock!
Knock!
Under the silent night, the sound of many people's footsteps in a neat line was heard in Chang County, and the footsteps were neat and loud, as if there were thousands of troops and horses marching.
There was a lot of movement.
At this time, the people in the vicinity were still sleeping deeply.
There are not many people who hear the movement of the Yin soldiers.
Even if someone occasionally hears the sound of the Yin soldiers marching in a half-asleep room, they only think that they are dreaming, turn over and continue to sleep, and few people notice the abnormality.
Even if someone really notices something unusual, and it's curfew time, they don't dare to go out to check it, for fear of being corrected on the spot.
The voice of the Yin soldier gradually faded away.
Disappear into the night.
The west gate of Chang County disappeared in the east direction of Chang County.
East of Chang County.
Lin Lu's family.
The white coffin in the courtyard is still in good shape, and everything is safe.
Benches, lime powder, large cloths to shield the moon, copper basins, paper money, incense and candles, bills, and other things were also placed in the courtyard.
In the courtyard, there were several men of the Lin family who were strong-blooded, and they were eating meat and drinking wine to keep vigil.
Guarding the white coffin in the courtyard.
The old Taoist priest was not guarding the coffin tonight.
In the past few days, after tossing in the mountains for so long, the old Taoist priest has not eaten well and rested, and he has just returned to Chang County today, and he has not had time to catch up on sleep.
And after all, he is old, and his physical strength is naturally inferior to that of young people.
So after he came back from Deshan Building, he went back to the house to make up for sleep, and if there was any movement in the yard, let the Lin family come and call him.
The old Taoist priest was so tired that he slept in the dark.
There was thunder of snoring in the house, and the sound of grinding teeth, the sound was so noisy that even a few men of the Lin family who were guarding the coffin in the courtyard heard it.
Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock!
It was as if the neat footsteps of thousands of troops and horses were coming from far and near, and as they got closer, the footsteps of many people became louder and louder.
Even the old Taoist's snoring like thunder and grinding his teeth could not suppress the sound of marching footsteps, and the old Taoist was woken up from his sleep.
The old Taoist priest didn't react at first, thinking that someone was making such a big noise outside, he just wanted to open the window to see the movement outside, but as a result, the sound of marching footsteps had already entered the courtyard of Lin Lu's house.
The old Taoist priest's face finally changed greatly, and he thought that this was a Yin soldier borrowing the Tao!
And the hundred ghosts have entered the courtyard at night, I am afraid that those men of the Lin family who are keeping vigil are already more auspicious.
The old Taoist priest hurriedly closed all the doors and windows, and then took out all the evil spirits he had with him and pasted them all over the doors, windows and walls.
After the old Taoist priest finished doing this, he didn't feel that it was enough, so he took out the rooster blood mixed with cinnabar to ward off evil spirits, and began to scribble on the four walls like flying "Xingqi Golden Light Seal".
"Xingqi Golden Light Seal" contains the name of Thor, Xingqi Jue, calligraphy and so on.
This is a famous Taoist mantra to ward off evil spirits.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is like a ghost drawing talisman like a book from heaven.
And the rooster blood is not ordinary rooster blood, it is the rooster blood that is slaughtered at noon and absorbs the noon yang energy.
The old Taoist priest was glad that he was cautious, and even when he was sleeping, he didn't forget to take these eating guys with him.
Otherwise, he would have been in a panic and had nothing to prepare, so he could only sit on the ground and wait for death.
The old Taoist priest swore an oath.
The speed of his hands in his life has never been so fast.
Fortunately, he did not lose his ancestral craft.
I usually think about the "Xingqi Golden Light Seal" handed down by my ancestors.
Otherwise, he would have been able to keep up with his hands.
It's too late to copy books temporarily.
After the old Taoist priest finished writing the wall of the window, he began to write the wall with the door frame, and even the window paper and wooden doors were painted with incantations.
Then he painted the other two walls with incantations.
Even if the hand is already sore and painful.
People were sweating profusely.
But the old Taoist priest still didn't dare to delay, the whole heart of the person was tense to the extreme, and his hands were sore and he wrote that it was better than being detained by the Yin soldiers and throwing away his life.
Under this desperate effort, the old Taoist priest burst out with unprecedented potential, and finally caught up in a critical moment, and all four walls were painted with golden light seals.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest dropped the pen and cinnabar in his hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However!
The old Taoist priest was not happy for long, he seemed to remember something, and scolded badly!
The old Taoist priest looked up at the roof that was eight or nine feet above the ground, and his face turned earthy for a while.
Sure enough, the old Taoist priest felt that his soul seemed to be hooked by something at this time, the person was like falling into an ice cellar, the wind gusted in the underground, and the next moment, the person was detained as if he had nothing.
At the moment when the old Taoist priest's soul was taken away, the scene in front of him changed, the four walls of the house were full of exorcism charms, and there were no exorcism charms on the wall at all, only his physical body, still lying on the bed in the room, covered with a deep sleep.
Before everything struggled.
Everything draws spells.
It was all a dream of his.
The moment he was detained by the Yin soldiers was also the moment his dream was shattered.
Before the old Taoist priest had time to grieve, his spirit had already "penetrated" through the solid wall and stood in the courtyard with a gust of wind and wind.
The men of the Lin family who were in charge of the night vigil in the courtyard were still eating meat and drinking wine, and they didn't seem to hear such a big movement from the Yin soldiers.
The old Taoist priest wanted to run over and shout for help, but those Lin family men drank not ordinary Fenjiu and soju, but Sanyang wine specially left for them by the old Taoist.
In his eyes, these Lin family men are like blazing hot stoves, and their souls are like pins and needles.
"Those who drown in the water swim naked!"
Looking at the situation in front of him, the four words "cocoon and self-restraint" should have been the most appropriate, but the old Taoist priest was sad from his heart, and suddenly realized another life motto.
His soul was detained at this time, and he had no physical body to protect his fragile soul, wasn't he swimming naked in the sun!
After the Yin soldiers took advantage of the Dao to detain the spirit of the old Taoist priest, they continued to march forward, gradually moving away and disappearing into the thick night.
......
Inn.
The night was silent, many people had fallen asleep, even the candles had been extinguished, and the whole inn was plunged into total darkness.
sub-hours.
Jin An had just fallen asleep for a short time.
After he returned to the inn, he did not fall asleep immediately, but first practiced martial arts diligently, and then fell asleep in the middle of the night.
And just when Jin An felt that he had just fallen asleep for a long time, he was recruited!
Knock, knock!
Knock! Knock!
In the middle of the night, he actually heard the sound of the army's marching and fighting.
The sound of footsteps came from far and near, getting closer and closer.
Listening to his movements, he walked straight through the streets, through the buildings, through the inn, and at last, the sound of many marching footsteps appeared in the courtyard outside his door.
Yin soldiers borrow the way!
Jin An's scalp instantly exploded, and the person turned over from the bed and sat up in shock, shuddering and looking out of the dark door in the night!
