Chapter 46 Huzhou City

Previous Chapter

The four apprentices of the old Tao walked around the crowd, but there were very few Dao talismans sold.

The four apprentices looked at the thick pile of Dao talismans in their hands, their faces were solemn, and then they turned around and entered the crowd again to sell.

"Stinky Taoist, who are you scaring about? Just make up a ghost story, like asking us ordinary people to exchange ten taels of silver for a useless piece of yellow paper? Are you too black-hearted?"

"Yes, yes, that's ten taels of silver, this old man is clearly a liar?"

"Liars... Liar..."

“...”

Under the pavilion, suddenly a person began to coax, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

Wanyue smiled "poof", then looked at Mu Xie and said: "Ten taels and one piece, this old way is too good at making money, this is good, it can't be sold..."

"Well, not necessarily, the price is just a number, and some things are easy to buy, but hard to find. ”

"The key depends on whether his talisman has an effect, whether it can really exorcise ghosts!" Mu Xie's voice paused, then smiled and said to Wanyue.

"Well, you seem to have some truth in what you say, but ah! That's ten taels of silver. I still think this old way is too dark-hearted. ”

"Whatever, we won't need it, but if he can sell it, why don't we also have a good time and take out the pile of Dao talismans given by Qin Yun in the room and sell them for a good price?" Mu Xie said, laughing, sunny and handsome, revealing a row of white teeth.

Lao Dao put down the brush in his hand unhurriedly and stood up.

In the breeze, his body was straight, and if you didn't look at his pale bun, you couldn't tell that he was an old man.

One of Lao Dao's apprentices secretly glanced at Lao Dao from the crowd, looked at the serious expression on the face of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone Master, and listened to the abuse and "shhh" in the crowd, but he secretly smirked a few times. It seems that he is particularly willing to see the master make a fool of himself.

"Old man, you said that there is a ghost possessed by a rich man, is there any evidence?" a middle-aged man in a coarse blue coat and a thin face shouted angrily at Lao Dao.

"Yes, yes, you catch a ghost for me, so that everyone can open their eyes, I have never seen a ghost look like when I grow so big and I have never seen it again?"

"Lao Dao, I believe you, didn't you say that there are ghosts? I believe it, what about you, catch a ghost now, let everyone see, if there are really ghosts, your charms, don't say ten taels, it's twenty taels, I have all the bags. But if you can't catch the ghost, you should get out of here, leave our Tianjing City, and don't swagger here. ”

Mu Xie looked for a voice, and a young man in high-end clothes in the crowd was discussing something with the people around him, and it was this person who shouted at Lao Dao just now.

Lao Dao clasped his fists into the crowd, and then removed a small bag in the shape of a sachet from a wooden hook next to the table.

He held up the bag in his hand and showed it to the crowd.

"Blind dates, do you really want to see what the ghost looks like? You don't need to catch it, there is a ready-made one in my little bag. I can open him up right now and open your eyes. Lao Dao was unhurried, pointing to the small bag and said.

The crowd under the pavilion heard the old man's words, and they were skeptical, but the bluffed birds were silent.

The crowd in the audience began to discuss, if it was true, what should the ghost do if it came out to hurt people? Then Lao Dao released a ghost, he himself had to stop it, if it was fake, just to see Lao Dao make a fool of himself.

"Everyone, then I'll let this ghost out now!" As soon as Lao Dao's voice fell, he untied the small bag with his hand.

"Wait... Forget it, I don't either... Afraid.. You... Open it!" the young man in high-end clothes stammered.

Lao Dao opened the small bag through a small opening, and in an instant, a burst of black smoke came out, and the black smoke slowly rose and turned into a ball.

The cloud of black smoke seemed to be a dot on the screen, frozen in mid-air, not moving at all.

The crowd in the audience was frightened when they saw the scene in front of them, and they were stunned one by one. The young man in high-end clothes was already trembling with his legs and his face was pale.

Suddenly, the black smoke doubled, and a human head with long hair scattered appeared in the smoke, the human head had no eyeballs, and the black hole hole was dripping with black blood.

"Uhhhhhh

With a terrible ghost scream, black clouds of smoke swirled in the air for several weeks, and flew into the sky above the crowd with a "whoosh".

The crowd was stupefied, and some of them, seeing the grimaces above their heads, fell to the ground in fright.

"Give me my life... Give me back my life..."

The ghost head opened his mouth, grumbling and crying above the crowd. The sound is ear-piercing and creepy.

"Exorcism, bright talisman. ”

Lao Dao shouted at the apprentices in the audience, and the apprentices who were close to the ghost head jumped up, only to see him volley a volley next to the ghost head, and he pulled out a talisman to stick to the ghost head.

"Uhhhhhh

The talisman appeared next to the ghost's head, and the black smoke immediately drifted to the side.

When the ghost head floated to the other side of the crowd, another little Taoist priest used the same technique to show a talisman. The black smoke immediately drifted quickly in the other direction.

"Everyone, this is proof that Fu can drive away evil spirits. ”

As soon as Lao Dao's voice fell, he rose into the air, and his heel touched a peachwood sword on the table, and the wooden sword flipped into his hand.

Lao Dao pointed his finger at the wooden sword, whispered, and recited a few incantations. Then he volleyed a sword in the direction of the ghost's head.

"Certain...", the old man shouted.

The six talismans flew out of the hands of the little Taoist priest near the location of the ghost head, and these six talismans instantly surrounded the ghost head in mid-air.

The ghost head bared his teeth and grinned, opening his bloody mouth to try to break through the talisman array.

When the ghost head touched one of the runes, suddenly several other runes instantly stuck to the ghost's head, and then several runes turned into a ball of flames and burned at the same time.

The ghost head let out a terrifying wail in the flames.

Shogun.

The firelight disappeared, and several lines appeared around the ghost's head, which glowed with blazing white light, enclosing the ghost's head, and then the black smoke was frozen in mid-air again.

Lao Dao muttered a few spells, pointed his sword at the black smoke, and then shook the tip of the sword, and the black smoke moved with the tip of Lao Dao's sword, and was included in a small bag that resembled a sachet, and then Lao Dao tied the small bag with blood-stained red thread.

After this series of actions was completed, everyone under the pavilion also believed in the existence of ghosts, and also witnessed the magic of the Taoist talisman painted by the old Taoist, so the ten taels and the Dao talisman in the hands of the four little Taoist priests were quickly snatched up.

When the old Taoist saw that the talisman had been sold, he thanked the people, packed up his things and left the pavilion with his disciples.

Mu Xie and Wan Yue came to see the excitement, but they didn't buy a single one, besides, Mu Xie has a bunch of Taoist talismans. After the Taoist priests left, they turned around and walked in the direction of the restaurant.

"Mu Xie, you said that the ghost in the hands of the Taoist priest, is it true?" Wan Yue asked Mu Xie with some doubts.

"It looks like it's real. ”

"You said that no one bought it, but when you see the ghosts released by the old way, they are not too expensive, and they have taken out the money, what is the reason!"

"That's human nature! That's what we are human beings are, they just pay for their inexplicable fears. Mu Xie said with a relaxed face.

Wanyue blinked her eyes and looked at Mu Xie, who seemed to be a wise man who saw through the world in her mind at this time.

There is a blue brick house on the outskirts of Huzhou City, which is a gathering area for some outsiders.

Smoke curling, white walls and gray tiles, this ordinary building complex on the outskirts of the city is separated by several small rivers, and it is a water town scenery.

Su Manxue was lying on the windowsill and looked out of the window sadly, dense raindrops poured down from the sky, and the noisy raindrops seemed to intentionally evoke the memories of homesickness.

The scenes of her and the wood evil together in the past, passing through her mind like a marquee, she thought about the bits and pieces with the wood evil, and felt a pang in her heart.

"Wood Evil... Where are you? I don't know when I'll see you again. Su Manxue looked at the wet leaves outside the window in a daze, and shouted silently in her heart.

"Mu Xie, has he been to the back mountain of Ling Jian Mountain, and has he seen the words I left for him from the cave?"

"Why hasn't the wood demon come to me for so long? Have you forgotten me?"

Su Manxue's mind was very chaotic, she couldn't control her thoughts, and she kept thinking nonsense.

Suddenly, her body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes blurred, and she choked softly and burst into tears.

A terrifying scene suddenly appeared in her mind, and it was this scene that made her feel so terrifying in an instant that her body trembled.

A picture suddenly appeared in her mind, in the picture, Mu Xie was pierced through the back by a long sword, Mu Xie's mouth slowly opened and closed a few times, his eyes changed from clear and bright to blood red, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Mu Xie's mouth, and then Mu Xie's body slowly sank, and this scene seemed to be in front of Su Manxue's eyes, Su Manxue stared at the sinking Mu Xie like this, and the Mu Xie's mouth in the picture seemed to be shouting his name...

Su Manxue lay on the windowsill and cried bitterly...

It's been nearly a month since I left Shuiyan Town. This one turned out that Su Manxue and the others chose a road from Shuiyan Town to the north, and chose two villages in the middle, but they all gave up for various reasons.

It wasn't until they arrived at Huzhou City in the north of the Southern Snow Country that they found a house in the suburbs to settle down.

Although the daily expenses of the three of them are very small, they are also afraid of sitting and eating nothing, so Fu Ze wants to find an errand in Huzhou City and earn some wages to supplement the family.

Because Fu Ze was literate, he found an errand for a shop guy in Wanqing Pawnshop in the south of Huzhou City.

Wanyue was a girl's family after all, so she stayed at home to take care of Ling Yanqiu.

On the day of the third watch, the Li family, a large family in the city of Kyoto.

On such a late day, ordinary people get up early and turn off the lights to rest. But the side room next to the main hall of the Li family, a large family, was lit by candlelight.

You must know that this is the bedroom outside of the Li Yuan.

At this moment, there was a man in black sitting at the round table, this man was holding a mirror in his hand to carefully look at his face, he had an obvious sword wound on his face, the wound was very freshly scabbed and had not yet turned black.

This person is the ghost knife Chengkuan, he just hid in Li's house last night.

At this moment, there was a young and beautiful female corpse on the bed, the female corpse did not have any clothes on her body, and there was an obvious bruise on her neck, which was obviously choked by someone and suffocated to death. The corpse's hair was disheveled, and there were some finger marks on the corpse's body, as if it had been insulted.

On the ground not far from the bed, there was a disheveled male corpse, and this corpse was Li Yuanwai.

At this time, the murderer of the couple was looking in the mirror to examine his own face.

In the courtyard covered by night, there were actually the bodies of dozens of people living in this courtyard, and these corpses were scattered in different places in the courtyard, including men and women. The eldest is a housekeeper over sixty years old, and the youngest is only eleven years old, and he is the son of Li Yuanwai's knees.
