Xiao Laodao walked to the door and pushed the door, the door was closed from the inside, but he couldn't push it open, Xiao Laodao suddenly frowned, patted the door and shouted twice, "The ninth and eleventh of the first month, are you inside?" "There's still no movement in the house.

Seeing this, the master walked to the window, gently pushed down the window, the window was pushed open with a "squeak", the master looked into the room, the space in the house was not large, there were two beds on the left and right walls, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi were lying on the bed respectively, and the two of them were motionless at this time.

The master hurriedly greeted Xiao Laodao, and the two of them jumped into the house through the window, first walked to Xiao Shiyi's bedside, and when they looked at it, they saw Xiao Shiyi's eyes closed, his face was peaceful, and the quilt on his chest fell along with his breathing, obviously sleeping.

Xiao Laodao and my grandfather looked puzzled, how could they sleep so deadly, they couldn't wake up when they shouted outside.

Xiao Laodao stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Shiyi's face gently, "Eleven, it's not early, it's time to get up." ”

After two pats, Xiao Shiyi slowly opened his eyes, looking confused, and then found Xiao Laodao and my grandfather beside the bed, stretched out his hands on the quilt, and gestured to Xiao Laodao: Master, what is this place?

Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment, and said: "This is our home, you are sleepy, we came back yesterday." ”

When Xiao Shiyi heard this, he wanted to sit up from the bed, pressed his hands on the bed, and immediately bared his teeth, and gestured to Xiao Laodao: Isn't it building a city wall?

"What kind of wall?" Xiao Laodao suddenly stared at him.

Xiao Shiyi gestured again: We were arrested and taken to build the city wall...... It hurts all over my body, and my arm hurts......

Seeing this, the master said to Xiao Laodao: "I don't understand the eleventh gesture, wake up the ninth brother and ask." ”

The two of them came to Xiao Chujiu's bed again, Xiao Chujiu was also sleeping very heavily at this time, Xiao Laodao shook his body, shouted several times, and finally woke up.

Xiao Chujiu looked at the master and Xiao Laodao beside the bed in a daze, the whole person was a lot more sober, sat up from the bed with his body propped up, and said weakly: "Master, I had a dream just now, I was arrested to build the city wall, but now I am very tired. ”

When the master and Xiao Laodao heard this, they glanced at each other, looked at each other, and the master asked, "Do you have Eleven and Miss Lan'er in your dream?" ”

"Yes, the three of us were arrested together."

Xiao Laodao followed up and asked, "Who arrested you?" ”

Xiao Chujiu replied: "I don't know, I can only hear the voice, and I feel that someone is pushing me behind, but I can't turn back, I can't speak, I was pushed to the city wall, and I moved stones to build the city wall." ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he frowned, "The people in the village next to him are also dreaming of being caught and taken to work, is it possible, they have the same dream?" ”

After speaking, Xiao Laodao hurriedly walked out of the room, and the master also came out, Xiao Laodao walked to the lame Taoist's room, and the master glanced at the room of the showgirl, turned around and went back to Xiao Chujiu's room, and told Xiao Shiyi to get up, call Miss Lan'er, if there is no one in the room to answer, you jump in through the window and wake her up. Xiao Shiyi is a child after all, and they are all adults, so it is not suitable to jump into the girl's room.

After finishing the order, the master also walked towards the lame Taoist's room, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard the voice of the lame Taoist inside: "Senior brother, you said yesterday that it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, and it seems that you have not been able to avoid it." ”

The lame Taoist didn't speak, so he heard Xiao Laodao say, "Then why didn't Bingshou and I arrest it?" ”

Without waiting for the lame Taoist to answer, the master stepped into the house, and the two of them glanced at my master at the same time, and the lame Taoist turned his head and asked Xiao Laodao, "Did you and Brother Liu sleep last night?" ”

When the master and Xiao Laodao heard this, they were both stunned, and glanced at each other, Xiao Laodao nodded, "That's right, yesterday the two of us looked for a cow in the middle of the night, even if we wanted to dream, we didn't have a chance." ”

However, Xiao Laodao quickly glanced at the lame Taoist suspiciously, "That's not right, junior brother, you slept all night yesterday, why didn't you arrest it?" ”

When the lame Taoist heard this, he immediately laughed bitterly, "Senior brother, I also had this question at the beginning, when those villagers started dreaming, they came to me for divination, and they asked me, have you dreamed?" I said I didn't, and they felt that our house had good feng shui and could ward off evil spirits, so many villagers asked to stay with us for the night, and I agreed. ”

"And why is that?" Xiao Lao Dao was puzzled, "Could it be that because you have been practicing hard in the past few years and have been diligent in your Taoism, those things don't dare to provoke you?" ”

"No......" The lame Taoist shook his head with a wry smile, "You listen to me, later, I went to their village and asked them one by one, the more than 200 people in the village, except for children under the age of twelve and the elderly over fifty, the rest of the people, both men and women, all had the same dream, but there were two exceptional young people in the village, one was born with a disability and the other was a fool......" Speaking of this, the lame Taoist smiled bitterly and patted his lame leg, "Senior brother, do you understand?" ”

The master and Xiao Laodao immediately understood, and they were not very good in their hearts, so they didn't ask if they knew it, Xiao Laodao scolded him, "His grandmother's, these ghost things, and they still look down on people!" ”

After being silent for a while, Xiao Laodao said: "Senior brother, you said that the person who took away the spiritual energy of the mountain heart stone will be the same group as the one who took away the first nine of them in the dream?" ”

The lame Taoist nodded, "Nine times out of ten, it's a group of people." ”

At this moment, Xiao Chujiu pushed the door in and asked, "Master, uncle, what do you want to eat, I'll make you breakfast." ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at him and waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to eat, you came just in time, let me ask you, where were you arrested?" ”

Xiao Chujiu suddenly showed a blank expression, "I don't know, it's just a city wall, and I build stones on it." ”

"Stones?" Xiao Laodao was puzzled when he heard this: "But the area near us is all Tulingzi, where did the stones come from?" ”

Xiao Chujiu replied: "It's a stone pulled by a little green ox, and I heard them say that with this little green ox pulling the cart, there is no need to send someone to carry the stone." ”

"Little green cow?" Xiao Laodao's eyes widened suddenly, "Then do you know who they are?" ”

"I don't know, I can only hear the voice, I can't turn my head to look away, my body doesn't obey at all."

"It's really weird." Xiao Laodao immediately waved his hand to Xiao Chujiuyi, "It's none of your business, go cook, you can eat whatever you want." ”

Xiao Chujiu agreed, turned to leave, and at this time, the lame Taoist said: "The little green cow pulling the cart should be your piece of the spirit of the heart of the mountain, right?" ”

Xiao Laodao nodded in agreement, and said indignantly: "It's really sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster comes from the sky!" Immediately, Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather, "Brother, what do you say we should do, this matter is not done by anyone!" ”

The master pondered for a moment and said: "I heard my father say that some immortal families, when there are not enough people, will find some mortals to detain their souls and hire their souls to do things, but at most, they will only hire for a day or two, and when the things are done, they will be given a certain amount of remuneration. ”

Xiao Laodao asked again: "Then do you have any way to find out about them?" ”

The master shook his head, glanced at the lame Taoist, and said, "If you can find out, the hexagram of the original Daoist brother, I'm afraid it won't be miscalculated." ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly, "According to my brother's meaning, we have no way to do it, and the meat on the chopping board is slaughtered...... Oh yes, unless you don't sleep at night! ”

The master said: "Why don't we go to bed early tonight to see if we can dream, if we really dream, let's see the situation in the dream." ”

Xiao Laodao nodded helplessly, "The only way to do this is to do this, otherwise, we will have to leave here, but if we really leave, the little green cow will be given to others in vain." ”

Out of the lame Taoist's room, Xiao Shiyi woke up the showgirl at this time, the showgirl was holding a wooden basin, standing in front of the water tank in the yard with a tired face, it seemed that she wanted to scoop water and freshen up, but the weather was cold, and the water in the water tank was frozen, so the girl took out the dagger she carried with her and chiseled the ice.

Seeing this, the grandfather walked over and said to her: "Brother Chu Jiu has already gone to the kitchen to cook on the fire, wait for the water to boil, get some hot water to wash." ”

The girl glanced at my grandfather and said with a smile: "I haven't washed my face with hot water in the morning since I was a child, so it's fine." ”

When the grandfather heard this, his face showed a hint of praise to the girl, because the grandfather rarely used hot water, and then the grandfather asked the girl, did she also dream last night?

The girl replied that she had a long, long strange dream in which she was called to work under a section of the city wall, and that she woke up in the morning tired and tired.

After breakfast, Xiao Laodao took the grandfather to the nearby village to wander around, and the girl wanted to follow, but because of the pain all over her body, she finally gave up.

Taiye and Xiao Laodao walked around the village for a long time, and inquired about the strange dream with the people in the village, but what the people in the village said was similar to what Xiao Chujiu and the three of them said, they were all building stones, and they were building like a city, but many people had different divisions of labor.

The two of them didn't get any useful information, as for the little green cow pulling the cart, the villagers said that they didn't have it before, and they only started to see it yesterday, which made the Taiye and Xiao Laodao more certain, the little green cow pulling the cart was the aura in the mountain heart stone, and the one who detained everyone's soul was not one or two, it was a group of ghosts or spirits, but they could only hear the sound, and no one saw them.

In the blink of an eye, it's night......
