Chapter 55 (6) The Shadow of the Thief on a Moonlit Night

This is not the karma in superstition, but the law between heaven and earth, everything in the world must follow the law, you go beyond the scope of what you should achieve, and you will go your own way to fight against the law under the drive of greed, and you will definitely eat it. Everything will maintain balance on the whole, and the balance in each place is constantly being broken, and it is constantly being repaired, just like the theory of yin and yang, every opposition is complementary, flowing and supplementing, and achieving balance. The ancients said that the avenue is like water, not referring to the loveliness and beauty of water, but to the fact that water is always flowing and replenishing, balancing everything else. The reason why our old generation of "I Ching" is called "Yi" refers to change, the law of change. Yi means to change. ”

Listening to these, A-Ning seemed to understand something. But she didn't interrupt Hu Shuan's story. Hu Xuan's profound knowledge and extraordinary wisdom are exactly what she is proud of, and after getting acquainted with Hu Xuan, she realized that she knew too little before.

In the distance, there seemed to be a faint sound, if there was nothing, listen carefully, but disappear again. A-Ning said: "You see, there is a deserted grave in front, it is desolate, sometimes you will see foxes refining pills, in the quiet night, there are fireballs running around, people say, it is the fire of the fox refining pills. ”

"Bang, bang," the voice became louder and louder, but it was not a fox alchemy, a young man came out of the dark road, and it was a big victory.

"Come on," Da Sheng trotted to the earthen hill and whispered to Hu Xuan: "I can see clearly, carrying a big burden, sneaky, looking at the figure, it is the entourage of the fairy." ”

"Okay, act as planned." Hu Xuan said.

Dasheng agreed, and ran into the distance again.

Hu Xuan and A Ning both lowered their postures and lay on the top of the sand and soil hill, and after a while, they found a dark shadow walking along the road.

The black shadow was dressed in black clothes, wearing a black hat, carrying a black bag, the whole pitch black, almost indistinguishable in the night, and what was even more strange was that he was still carrying a bamboo pole, and the black shadow walked very softly, as if his feet did not touch the ground, and soon came to him.

Hu Xuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't see the face of the black shadow clearly, and as for whether it was the immortal's entourage, he couldn't tell. The shadow quickly walked towards the village. Hu Xuan and A Ning quietly slipped down the earthen hill and followed.

In the village, Da Sheng and his partners have already set up sentry posts, just waiting for the enemy to take the bait, after the black shadow entered the village, he stood and looked at the village, under the moonlight, the small village was silent, some houses were still lit with lights, and the yellow light came out of the windows, and some houses were already pitch black.

The black shadow looked left and right for a while, walked forward along the street, stretched out his head as he walked, sniffed with his nose, Hu Xuan understood, he was scouting where there were cattle, and the people who raised cattle in the village generally set up a simple cowshed in the courtyard by the courtyard wall, and the cowshed smelled of cow dung in the cowshed, accumulated over the years, it was very strong, and experienced people could smell the smell of the cowpen and cowshed on the street.

The black shadow sniffed for a while, and found a family of cattle keepers, two big trees in front of this house, it seemed that cattle were often tethered, and there was a circle of cow dung scattered under the trees, the black shadow walked lightly, walked under the courtyard wall, took out a piece of wood from the baggage, and leaned against the wall.

This piece of wood is made into the shape of "work", and the general craftsman often uses it to make a simple scaffold or ladder when plastering the high wall, and the black shadow steps on the wooden frame, and as soon as he stands up, his head stretches over the courtyard wall, and the action is very skillful. He glanced in, then took out a handful of grass from his baggage, picked it with a bamboo pole, and stretched it out to the courtyard.

Hu Xuan, who was following behind, suddenly realized, this black shadow was obviously a veteran, using a short wooden ladder to climb the wall, using a bamboo pole to deliver forage to the courtyard, the forage must have done its hands and feet, the cow ate the grass and then poisoned, and no trace could be left, this poisoned guy didn't even need to enter the hospital at all, and he did everything from the outside, which was really cunning.

Soon, the black shadow got off the I-shaped short wooden ladder, carried the burden, picked up the wooden ladder, and continued to walk forward, still sniffing as he walked.

Later, Hu Xuan and A Ning followed closely behind the poisoned thief. After the thief walked by, the courtyard door opened, Ah Zhen came out, she was hiding in the cowshed just now, when the thief handed the forage inside, she could see it clearly, but did not make a sound, and when the thief's head disappeared from the wall, she quickly snatched the forage from the cow's mouth and took it aside. After packing up, he came out to catch up with Hu Xuan and A Ning, and A Ning asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”

"It's okay, the cow isn't eating."

Earlier, the black shadow found a family of cattle raisers, so the trick was repeated, using bamboo poles to send poisonous weeds to the cowshed, Hu Xuan and others only followed, did not interfere, the cowshed in the yard, had already arranged for people to squat, do not worry about the cattle will be poisoned.

The nose of the black shadow is very smart, looking for the cowshed, extremely accurate, a total of six cowsheds into the forage, the burden on the back is empty, then turn around and walk to the outside of the village, the whole process, familiar with the road, clean and neat, only took a while, then to the six cowsheds to do the hands and feet, Hu Bolt couldn't help but admire, "This guy is a unique job, really a champion." ”

The thief completed the task "smoothly", carried the bamboo pole out of the village, and walked to the main road outside the village, perhaps because he was in a happy mood, and hummed a little tune in his mouth. was proud, and suddenly felt a trip under his feet and fell down.

This fell suddenly, he fell into the mud, threw away the bamboo pole, and fell off the hat, which made him hum, rubbed his ass and got up, and looked into the ground, but there was no ditch, just now he obviously tripped over something, but nothing was found.

He patted the dirt on his body and stood up, and found that the hat could not be found, and looked left and right, the road was empty, there was some thatch growing on the side of the road, and there was a field of crops next to it, and there was no one near and far, where did the hat go? Do you let the wind blow away? But now the night is quiet, and there is no wind.

Although he was puzzled, he had no choice but to stop his hat, and continued to hurry bareheaded, and in the dead of night, he began to become more careful, and the minor tune in his mouth stopped humming, and he quickened his pace, walked about dozens of steps, and suddenly stumbled under his feet, and fell again.

This head fell almost exactly the same as just now, but he had the lesson just now, he didn't fall as hard as he just now, he didn't gnaw mud in his mouth, he held it with both hands, and made a big fuss, he learned well this time, he didn't hurry to get up, turned his head to look around, and it was still quiet outside, and there was no one in sight, and the weeds next to him and the beans and peppers in the field were silent in the dark night.

The silence around made the thief shiver, and an inexplicable panic surged in his heart, he got up looking around, patted the soil on his body, and suddenly found that his bamboo pole and burden were gone.

The second time he fell, the bamboo pole was thrown by him, and the burden seemed to fall to his side, the terrain here is flat, there is no steep slope or pothole, it is impossible to roll or fall elsewhere, is it possible that the burden and the bamboo pole will run away with legs? He began to feel his scalp tingle and shiver all over.

When he stood up, he found that one of his shoes had also fallen off, and the fallen shoes were no longer found without exception, and there was no trace of what he had fallen in his near and far sight. Under the moonlight, the road is like a white line, leading to the distance, and in the silent moonlight, there seems to be infinite mystery and horror.

"Mom," he cried, his voice filled with unspeakable fear, and he ran on his legs, stumbling on one foot, and running forward. (To be continued.) )
