Uncle, can you help me pick up the marbles? ”

In the darkness, the sweet voice of a little girl was heard.

Li Mo swallowed his saliva and looked down at his feet, a marble was on the tip of his toe at the moment.

The marbles are green all over and look very good.

At this moment, a sweet laugh sounded in his ears, and Li Mo turned his head, and a pair of red eyes just stared at him.

Li Mo panicked, that's right, although he had experienced so much, Li Moyi was still very afraid of these elusive demons, and seeing this scene unfolding in front of him at this moment, he was instantly ready to defend.

Then he was hit in the back by something, his head was dizzy, his eyes were closed, and he fell to the floor.

It was a little cold, Li Mo closed his eyes and groped for a while, but there was a weed under him, and there was no feeling of lying on a cotton sheet, and as for the thin quilt he was looking for, there was no trace.

Where is he?

As soon as Li Mo opened his worried eyes, he suddenly widened when he saw his situation clearly.

He did not sleep in the inn room, but lay on the floor of the broken temple, at this time the sunlight had already shone in through the gap in the broken wooden window, Li Mo blocked the sunlight with his hand, and sat up violently.

By this time, the memories of last night had come back to his mind.

"Gollum."

Li Moyi swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, "Dreaming, is it dreaming?" ”

He reached out and pinched his cheek, and then slapped himself lightly, "I ran to this broken temple in the middle of the night to sleep, and I had a nightmare?" ”

Li Mo frowned, and his heart was full of doubts.

"Hiss~"

I don't know if the amplitude of the palm movement is too large, the laceration at the tiger's mouth that had healed overnight was broken open again, looking at the laceration at the tiger's mouth, Li Moyi immediately confirmed it.

So it was true to hear marbles last night, and it was also true to see a little girl last night.

"What a deal~"

Li Mo scolded and said, what kind of karma did he create, why did the demon on the mountain find him again.

……

At the foot of Mt. Nagayama.

"Little sir, I haven't seen you come to my inn to eat recently, I'll ask your cook to add a few more slices of beef to your noodles later, don't lose your body."

It was earlier, Li Mo was about to eat at the foot of Yongshan, and he came to the small inn at the foot of the mountain and asked for a bowl of beef noodles, which is also strange, this small inn at the foot of Yongshan Mountain has a surprisingly hot business, and everyone doesn't seem to feel bad because of the demon on Yongshan.

Li Moyi slept a little long this night, and it had already passed the hottest time of the lunch market, and there were guests in the small inn in twos and threes, Li Moyi occupied a table and ordered a bowl of signature beef noodles.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Li Moyi was thinking about what happened last night, when a sound from around him reached his ears.

When I looked at it, I could see that the proprietress was talking to a guest.

With a sad look on his face, the guest pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and did not speak again.

"You, if you want to open up, if your father were alive, he wouldn't want to see you so depressed."

Hearing this, Li Moyi paid attention to it, and looked carefully at the appearance of the guest, as if it was the paper shop guy he saw on the street yesterday.

Yesterday, just because the mother of the young buyer was not mentally normal, he gave the other party a discount, and he was also a well-wisher, and Li Moyi left a mind on him.

Perhaps because the business was not busy now, or perhaps because the proprietress of the small inn did have a close friendship with his father, she simply put down the business, sat down next to the man, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him in a deep voice.

"By the way, what are you going to do with your shop's business?"

The proprietress pointed to the direction of the paper shop, "Your shop is not particularly profitable, when your father was alive, there was also a fast entry item, now your father is gone, relying on the three melons and two dates is not a thing, according to my aunt's idea, the rent of our street is rising every year, the area of your shop is not small, you can rent at least two hundred taels a year when you rent out, which is completely worth the money you make, you are still young, there is no need to spend on this paper shop, relying on the rent, you can do a lot of things." ”

Being able to say this shows that the proprietress really treats the other party as her beloved junior.

The man's eyes flashed, then he lowered his eyes and whispered, "This is the last thing my father left me, no matter what, I still want to run this shop well, as for my father's skills, I have also learned seventy-seven eighty-eight, and I can also earn some extra money to increase the income of the store." ”

Hearing this, Li Moyi was a little confused, and he was still puzzled by the fast entry item outside the paper shop that the two of them said, what extra money can a paper shop earn?

"Mu Lin, have you learned your father's skills?"

The proprietress added an accent: "Your father also taught you the ability to subdue demons?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Mo immediately looked at the man and walked with him...... Or is it a Soul Raider?

This young man's name is Yang Mulin, and his father is Yang Liu'er.

The proprietress obviously knows that Yang Mulin's adoptive father, Yang Liu'er works part-time as a full-time priest, and often takes on some work to choose tombs and catch demons.

In the past, the proprietress often saw Yang Liuer wearing a robe, taking some of his eating guys and following different people out of the paper shop, but in the eyes of the proprietress, those are all bluffing tricks, as a neighbor's relatives and friends, the proprietress is not good to talk about him, but she never expected that he also taught this deceptive trick to his son.

"You can't learn from your father."

Yang Mulin is an innocent good boy, the proprietress doesn't want to see him not good at learning and being caught in prison for cheating.

Li Mo's heart jumped, not because he was afraid that he would be caught in prison, but because he didn't expect that there were people in Dexin County who had this ability.

Thinking of the little marbles girl who appeared last night, Li Moyi was very suspicious that Yang Liu'er, the adoptive father of the young man in front of him, was a full-fledged man with real skills.

"What are you talking about, in the woman's opinion, Brother Yang is a whole person with real skills, and it will become a liar in your mouth."

A middle-aged fat man came out of the kitchen behind him with a bowl of hot beef noodles, he put the noodles in front of Li Moyi, and then patted the proprietress on the back with his thick big meat palm.

Looking at this intimate action, Li Moyi already knew that this cook was the husband of the proprietress.

"Mu Lin, is it true that you said that you learned your father's seven or eight things, I always feel that my neck is very sore recently, has I touched something dirty."

is different from Yang Liuer's wife, who doesn't believe in Yang Liuer's wife, but the middle-aged fat man is convinced of evil and evil theories, and he has always felt that Yang Liuer is a person with real skills.

I remember one night when the middle-aged fat man finished tidying up the back kitchen of the small inn and was about to go home, he saw Yang Liuer talking to the air in the alley.

When he came home that night, he acted like nothing had happened, and he hadn't even told his wife about it.

"Haha."

Yang Mulin laughed dryly twice, how could he have any ability.

"Uncle, your skills have improved, the taste of this beef is amazing."

Yang Mulin hurriedly lowered his head and sandwiched a slice of beef, changing the topic in time.

"If you like it, eat more, see how thin you are."

The middle-aged fat man really didn't dwell on the previous topic anymore, and saw that Yang Mulin liked the beef he made, and his face smiled.

"By the way, Mulin, about the rebuilding of the ruined temple in Yongshan, those people bought a lot of yellow paper and white candles from you."

"The price has been negotiated, and I heard that they will start construction at noon today."

“……”

Yongshan ruined temple rebuilt?

As soon as he heard this, Li Moyi knew that he had something to do today. He didn't listen to the gossip in the back.

After Yang Mulin and the proprietress talked a few words, they finished eating the noodles and walked in the direction of the paper shop.

……

Along the way, Li Moyi has been quietly following behind Yang Mulin.

When I returned to the paper shop from the small inn, I saw Yang Mulin open the door of the shop, took out a key from the cabinet in the inner room, and walked into his adoptive father's room.

Seeing this scene, Li Mo stepped up lightly, followed him into the back room of the paper shop, hid in the dark, and silently observed through the crack in the window.

The room was very rudimentary, with a bed, a table, a wooden wardrobe, and a bedside wooden cupboard, and there was very little room to hide things.

After entering the door, Yang Mulin first bowed a few times to the tablet on the table, and then put on a stick of incense.

After applying the incense, Yang Mulin began to rummage through the things in the room, but when he searched all the places he could, he didn't find anything valuable.

Just as Yang Mulin was about to leave in disappointment, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with a certain plank under his feet, which seemed to be loose.

He quickly crouched down and pried up the loose planks on the ground, and sure enough, there was a box hidden under the planks.

Yang Mulin opened the wooden box, and there was an ancient book in thread binding, and the cover said Fu Daquan, which looked like a miscellaneous book for ten cents a piece on a street stall, in addition to this ancient book, there was also a box of cinnabar, and a few pieces of yellow paper.

Among them, there are a few yellow sheets on which the talismans have been drawn, and Yang Mulin does not understand what words are written on them, and naturally he does not know how to use them.

It's just that the existence of these things proves the correctness of some of the guesses in Yang Mulin's heart, he let out a long breath, and then began to study against this ancient book.

A quarter of an hour's work was enough for Yang Mulin to check the talisman

Daquan found out the effect of the few talismans that had been drawn, and let him draw the scoop according to the gourd himself, but it was a bit difficult for a strong man.

Five talismans, one Zhentong talisman, one immobilization talisman, and three more, the effect of these talismans is written on the talisman encyclopedia, which gives Yang Mulin a little more confidence in the next foreign business.

After finding these talismans and knowing their efficacy, Yang Mulin left his adoptive father's room, closed the door of the paper shop, and walked in the direction of Yongshan.

Zhentong Fu Li Mo has been familiar with it again and again, but he doesn't know what Yang Mulin is going to do with this, as well as the weird thing about the broken temple in Yongshan last night, so he naturally chooses to continue to go to Yongshan to see what is going on.

……

"Work hard! This temple has been repaired, and you will have a reward! ”

“……”

As soon as I reached the halfway point of the mountain, I heard the sound of bricks colliding from the ruined temple in front of me.

At a glance, you can see more than a dozen strong craftsmen coming in and out of the ruined temple, carrying things like weeds and clods in their hands.

On the side, a few other strong men were moving two stone statues.

Looking closely, the taller one of the two stone statues is familiar to Li Mo again and again, who can it be if it is not Yi Xian?

And the slightly shorter stone statue, Li Moyi also felt unsightly, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but how

I can't remember where I've seen it.

At this moment, Yang Mulin had already approached the gate of the broken temple and talked to the foreman who had just greeted him loudly.

Li Moyi was far away at this time, and he didn't hear what they were talking about too clearly, but he saw that Yang Mulin handed over a talisman in his hand to the man, and the man gave a money bag, which should contain money and silver.

Earn money with talismans?

It turned out to be such a way, and Li Moyi nodded as if he knew something.

After collecting the money bag, Yang Mulin didn't stop much and turned to leave. He naturally knew that there was a demon in Yongshan, and it was said that strange things would happen as soon as it was dark.

Seeing Yang Mulin leaving, Li Moyi didn't continue to follow, but hid in the shadows, waiting for those strong workers to disperse.

……

After about three hours, the sky began to get darker.

"Okay, okay, it's going to be dark, I'll do it here today, please be early tomorrow." The man who looked like a strong foreman greeted everyone, and led the way down the mountain.

Sure enough, Li Mo, who was dozing off, woke up. Finally waited for this moment.

Seeing the crowd walking away, Li Mo stepped forward alone and entered the broken temple, at this time the broken temple was much cleaner, the ground was almost spotless, the weeds were no longer visible, and the gaps in the surrounding walls were filled with clods of soil.

Looking at the two stone statues in the center of the temple, Li Moyi's eyes never left the short one.

Déjà vu?

It's a strange feeling, as if I've seen it somewhere but I can't remember it.

At this moment, he completely ignored the tall stone statue of Yi Xian, and only stared at this shorter stone statue in his eyes.

The footsteps unconsciously walked forward, turned to the back of the stone statue, and took a look, there were words engraved on it, and Li Mo was overjoyed.

If you take a closer look, there is only one word "Li".

"Li II?" He touched his head, feeling a little overwhelmed, if it was the stone statue of Li II, he had seen it a few times, not to mention that he had completely memorized the appearance, but it didn't seem to be like this.

Who is this stone statue carved on?

Li Mo's brows furrowed, but he was puzzled.

What happened today is so strange, first the little girl with marbles last night, then the descendants of her peers at noon, and now I see an inexplicably familiar stone statue of a broken temple.

The events of the day were swirling in my mind, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the night was dark, there were no kerosene lamps in the temple, there was no light at all, and it was pitch black.

yawned, Li Moyi was a little sleepy.

Despite this, Li Moyi held on and didn't fall asleep, took out two pieces of yellow paper and a brush in his arms, and hurriedly drew a few times on the yellow paper.

Holding a talisman in each hand, his eyes were fixed on the doorway, wanting to see if the little marbles girl would appear.

Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye, and it was midnight. The time of the day when the yin energy is at its peak.

"Plop plop."

It was so quiet that Li Moyi could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

Could it be that the little girl is not going to play with him?

Just as Li Mo was thinking this, he heard the creaking sound of the old wooden door.

Someone approached.

"You knocked the new demon envoy unconscious last night?"

An old, echoing voice rang out over the temple.

"Niuniu is good, Niuniu doesn't."

The sweet voice of the girl, Li Moyi's eyelids jumped wildly, he could hear it, this was the voice of the little girl last night.
