Chapter 12: The Disappeared Li Fugui
When Erdan saw that I had made up my mind, he didn't say anything.
After dinner, Li Fugui took me and Erdan to the old man's house.
From Li Fugui's mouth, I knew the old man's name, the same as I guessed, this old man's surname is Fang, his name is Fang Daniu, and he is a person with real skills.
When we arrived at Niu's house, he didn't greet us, and asked us to find a place to sit casually.
I saw that he was arranging things in his yard at the moment, and in the middle of the courtyard there were two platforms about a foot from the ground, and on the platforms were covered with a red cloth, which was densely painted with things.
Directly in front of the platform, there is a long wooden table that is the same as this afternoon.
However, at this moment the wooden table was full of things, on which were tributes, tea and wine, and on either side were two red candles, and in the middle was an incense burner jar, on which no incense was inserted.
After the old man had prepared the things he needed on the wooden table, he began to fetch the others.
I saw that when he came out of the deep house, he already had a big earthen pot in his hand, and seeing the appearance of the old cow carrying it hard, the weight must not be light.
After the old cow had all the things he needed, he lay down on his chair and began to smoke a dry cigarette.
Seeing that Niu Lao didn't speak, the three of us naturally didn't say anything.
Seeing that it was boring like this, it was boring for several hours, and it was late at night.
Niu Lao looked up at the moon above his head that was covered by dark clouds, pinched his fingers in his hand, whispered a few words, and then got up and walked to the deep house.
When he came out again, his clothes had changed, and he was wearing a dark yellow Taoist robe, with a large gossip pattern in the center.
Holding a wooden sword in his right hand and a compass in his left hand, he walked to the square table and shouted to me and Erdan, "The time has come, open the altar!" ”
I walked over with Erdan, and Niu Lao smiled at me and told me that it was okay, everything was with him.
After speaking, he also patted me on the shoulder and told me to let me take a good look at it later, this is the Fang family's unpassed technique.
I didn't say anything, just nodded.
Niu Lao let me and Erdan sit cross-legged on the platform, and then he started to light the candles.
Red candles are lit and beams of fire sway back and forth in the breeze.
Niu Lao took out three long incense sticks, and then lit them on the flame of the candle, and after burning the candles, Niu Lao respectfully raised the three long incense sticks, bowed to the moon in the sky three times, and then inserted the long incense into the incense burner of the long table.
Then, Niu Lao put the compass in the middle of the long table, took out a stack of yellow paper, and threw it on the compass until the compass was completely covered.
Suddenly, he only felt that Niu Lao's momentum changed, he pulled out the wooden sword from the wooden table, and chanted something in a low voice.
Waiting for the recitation to finish, Niu Lao bit his index finger and dripped blood onto the wooden sword.
Suddenly, I only felt a faint red light glowing from the body of the wooden sword.
Niu Lao raised the wooden sword horizontally and poked it towards the yellow paper on the wooden table, and when he lifted it, there were already a few more pieces of yellow paper on the wooden sword.
Elder Niu put the wooden sword in front of him, and then shouted loudly: "Lingbao talisman, proclaim for nine days; Qianrodana, Donggang Taixuan; Kill demons and bind evil, save thousands of people, and be as urgent as the law! Open! ”
After listening to Niu Lao, the yellow paper on the wooden sword actually spontaneously combusted strangely.
Niu Lao then stabbed the wooden sword at the yellow paper on the wooden table again, and suddenly, the yellow paper was rapidly ignited, and the flames soared into the sky.
When the fire cleared, the strange thing on the wooden table showed no sign of burning.
Niu Lao pinched his fingers sharply in his hand, and then quickly picked up the compass on the table.
At this time, the dark clouds that had covered the moon actually dispersed strangely, revealing the big and bright moon, which was a full circle larger than the fifteenth moon, which was very strange.
I saw Niu Lao raise the compass to face the moon, which was originally a dull compass, but at this moment it began to glow with a little white light, and the white light continued to brighten.
It wasn't until the white light on the compass became like a beam of light that he stopped.
I could see that at this time, the old cow spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body weakened rapidly.
Seeing this, I wanted to go down and hold Niu Lao, although I don't know why he spits blood, but I can know that he is like this for me.
However, Niu Lao glared at me fiercely, and then shook his head.
I didn't move, but my eyes were starting to redden.
I've been close to my grandfather since I was a child, so as long as it's an older person, I can see my grandfather's shadow from them.
After seeing that I didn't move, Niu Lao turned the compass in my direction violently, and for a moment, the dazzling white light made me unable to open my eyes.
The next moment, the characters on the long white cloth I was sitting on actually began to rotate under the white light, although I didn't understand what these were, but I could see that those characters were beginning to gather towards the image of gossip.
When the characters gathered into a gossip image, a circle of golden light suddenly appeared beneath me.
The white and gold beams hit me, and I felt my whole body start to become hot, white smoke began to rise above my head, and my limbs began to tremble involuntarily.
Seeing this, Niu Lao called Li Fugui on the side and asked him to come over and hold the compass, and he went to open the black earthen pot on the ground.
There is nothing special about the earthen pot, I saw Niu Lao come to me with the earthen pot in his arms, and said with a tired expression: "I will help you reshape your body now." ”
With that, the old cow moved very quickly, and poured the liquid inside the earthen jar upside down and the commander above my head.
The liquid was dark and viscous, but it didn't have any special taste.
I saw that after the liquid was poured on me, it disappeared strangely quickly.
But in the next moment, I just felt like my body was about to crack, and my internal organs hurt so much that my teeth clenched.
Niu Lao shouted in my ear, "Hold on!" If you can't hold on to this, then you don't deserve to inherit the life of our family. ”
I was so tormented by the pain that I couldn't think at the moment, and I knew that I had to persevere, even if it was for the sake of Niu Lao.
My body trembled more and more, and the surface of my skin changed from sweat at the beginning to blood-colored dirt later.
I persevered like this for about half an hour, and the heart-rending feeling in my body was slightly lessened.
Niu Lao saw that my body was no longer trembling, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed.
But just when Niu Lao was about to take a rest, a voice suddenly came from the door.
"Fang Da Niu, you are looking for death!"
A rickety figure pushed the door in, and I barely opened my eyes, and I could see that the figure was Granny Ji.
Granny Ji walked in tremblingly with a cane, she was still dressed in the morning, but with an extra black cloth bag.
When Niu Lao saw Granny Ji walking in, his face was instantly gloomy, he coughed a few times, and said angrily: "Old woman, you actually dare to beat my family's idea, I think you are impatient!" ”
Granny Ji snorted coldly, "What kind of thing is your Fang family, it's just to make some crooked ways, look at how I abolished your old bald donkey today!" ”
Hearing Granny Ji's words, Niu Lao laughed loudly.
"You're the only one left in your Ji family, right? Grandfather is right, our family is the man of destiny, and when this kid inherits the Fang family's mastery, the treasure must be in the bag of our family. While Niu Lao was talking, his hand movements were not idle, and he directly picked up the wooden sword on the table, and began to chant incantations in his mouth.
"All gods salute, and serve the thunder. The ghosts and demons are frightened, the spirits are forgetful, and the gods and thunders descend from the sky to help me destroy the demons, and I am as urgent as the law! ”
After listening to Niu Lao, the wooden sword moved towards the sky, and it was a cloudless night sky, but it was cloudy again in an instant.
With a 'boom', the silent night sky began to thunder, and the next second, a 'click' of thunder and lightning suddenly slashed, like a silver giant snake, lighting up the entire sky.
The thunder and lightning fell violently on the wooden sword in Niu Lao's hand, which was originally a dull wooden sword, but under the thunder and lightning, there were electric sparks, and there was a 'zila' sound, which made people's hearts tremble.
When Granny Ji on the opposite side saw this, a solemn look appeared on her face, although she was jealous, she didn't turn around and fled.
Instead, I took out a bell from my cloth bag, and the moment I saw the bell, my mind instantly lost my mind, and I almost spurted blood from my mouth.
I can't be wrong about that bell, it's the 'insect bell' of our insect master.
I haven't seen this thing in real life, but I've only seen it in a book my grandfather gave me.
It is rumored that this insect control bell can control insects for self-drive and help insect controllers solve all kinds of troubles.
Even grandpa doesn't have this thing, why does this mother-in-law Ji have this thing, could it be that she is also an insect master?
Moreover, I had a guess before, since this Granny Ji can see that there are dead insects in my body, and she promised to help me get rid of them, she must not be an ordinary person.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that she was also an insect master.
It seems that since I came to this Gejia Village, everything that has happened has exceeded my imagination one after another.
I saw Granny Ji's right hand quickly shake the bell, and she began to chant a spell in her mouth.
Niu Lao saw Granny Ji take out the bell, and the expression on his face was also solemn, but he didn't hesitate at all, and directly stabbed at Granny Ji with a wooden sword.
Niu Lao was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Granny Ji.
Thunder flashed above the wooden sword, and the snake of thunder and lightning 'crackled' and exploded.
Just as the wooden sword was about to stab in front of Granny Ji, a sudden gust of wind suddenly rose in front of Granny Ji, rolling up the dead branches and leaves on the ground.
The wooden sword in Niu Lao's hand pierced into the wind, and the next moment, there was a sound of metal delivery, and then there was a 'bang' explosion, Niu Lao flew directly backwards, and his feet dragged out two long scratches on the ground.
The wind dissipated, and in the middle of it appeared a four-horned beast, like a bull, with a layer of cyan carapace attached to its body, and a single horn on its head, which emitted a cold light in the dark moonlight.
On the body of the beast, there was a pitch-black scar, and green blood flowed from it.
I'm afraid this is caused by Niu Lao's blow just now, and it seems that the injury is not light.
I was surprised to see the insect bell in Granny Ji's hand, but when I saw this fierce beast shaped like a rhinoceros appear, I was even more surprised that I couldn't close my mouth, this beast was none other than an insect.
Named 'Tie', it feeds on iron, and since ancient times, there has been a legend that a fierce beast fed on iron and devoured millions of soldiers overnight.
Moreover, looking at this iron figure, and the single horn glowing with cold light, if my guess is correct, this is a worm king!
The body of the iron is as hard as iron, and the attack power is extremely strong, and now it is a insect king that has not been encountered for a thousand years, I don't know how this Mother-in-law Ji surrendered.
And, with such a Tie, will Niu Lao be an opponent?
Besides, Granny Ji's true identity is now revealed as an insect master, an insect master like me, should I choose to believe her?
However, Niu Lao was willing to give up Shouyuan just now to help me reshape my body, this is something that cannot be faked, could it be that such an old man who is good to me will be a bad person?
Which one is the good guy?
Who should I trust?
I glanced at everyone present, and suddenly, my eyebrows furrowed violently, what about Li Fugui, why is he gone?
Although I believe in Li Fugui the most in Gejia Village, the more I have contact, the more I know.
The secret of Li Fugui is no less than that of Granny Ji and Niu Lao, and now that he has disappeared in and out, where will he go?
Is his disappearance a blessing or a curse?
