Panting, Tan Mo leaned against the wall.

He had already run away, and at the moment when the girl had brought back the roast chicken, and the smell of him was covered by the scent, he ran towards the door with all his might.

After escaping, he didn't stop for a moment, until his body's strength couldn't keep up.

Tan Mo hadn't taken off the painting skin on his body at this time.

It was inconvenient to take it off, and he didn't dare to take it off.

Tan Mo was very suspicious, this peony county was probably not a human-dominated county at this time. Although there are many people in the shops on the street at this moment, Tan Mo still thinks so.

Because he didn't see the officials, or the guards!

Peony County is a tribute paid by several major families to the nearby anti-king, and Peony County is not a place where soldiers must fight, and the mutual restraint between the anti-kings is that it is tacitly allowed to be neutral.

In this case, even if the yamen does not exist and there is no yamen, but several major families, even if they do not join forces to organize private soldiers to patrol and defend, they should each send guards to patrol everywhere after dividing the territory.

In this place, looking at the shops on the street, and the big mansions, there is no doubt that they are the areas where the rich live, but if you don't see the guards patrolling, all the people in a big mansion have died mysteriously, and only a pair of mother and son who are a little abnormal are left. A house not far away is occupied by three unknown strange things.

Even, those three weird things imitate big families, and draw lots to determine their respective identities.

The old woman, the young master, and the maid.

It's bizarre and weird.

Tan Mo wanted to leave the county seat immediately, but thinking of them, he had to find a place to hide. Near that house, he didn't dare to stay, so Tan Mo quietly went back, and after leaving a mark at the door of the mansion of the eldest brother of Jiebodhi, he immediately ran away.

There is a tower at the gate of Peony County, which has long been abandoned, and only a little shelter from the sun remains.

Tan Mo climbed up, and then hid in the tower.

When he took off the skin, as soon as he took it off, the skin disappeared along with the box of rouge gouache. Tan Mo can still sense it, but this time it is very vague, and there is no relevant picture in his mind, and no matter how he senses it, the painted skin and rouge gouache no longer appear.

It seems that this painted skin and this box of rouge gouache, as he guessed, can only appear once in a day.

Facing the sun, Tan Mo crossed his knees, and then began to chant the scriptures.

Facing the sun and chanting in your heart, this is a way to ward off evil spirits. Not only Buddhism, but also Taoism, called the Golden Light Mantra, spread more widely than Buddhism, almost everyone knows, but can master its essentials, but there are very few.

Tan Mo didn't know if this would work, but at least it would make him feel at ease, anyway, he didn't dare to move around at will now, who knows if he would bump into other demons, and then he wouldn't be as lucky as he is now.

didn't let Tan Mo wait for a long time, and soon, Bai Guzi and they followed the mark.

They hadn't looked at the mansion for long.

Tan Mo climbed down from the tower, folded his hands, and beckoned, "Three senior brothers." ”

"Little junior brother, but what's wrong?" Mirror Void asked, Tan Mo hid in this kind of sunny place that can cause people to suffer from heat stroke, undoubtedly encountering something not very good.

Tan Mo told him what happened to him in that house, 1510. It was only when he mentioned the painted skin that he used a burst of strange fragrance to waft in, interfering with the three people, and he escaped by taking advantage of this.

"This peony county doesn't seem to be quite right......" Mirror Void Mu grimaced and muttered to himself.

"It's really wrong." Bai Guzi nodded, his face serious.

"In my eldest brother's house, we didn't find anything, and my sister-in-law's mind didn't seem to be normal. In that case, let's go back overnight. After thinking about it, Bodhi said, "This place is not suitable for a long time. ”

"I know if we'll go back overnight, but how are we going to get back?" The white bones stretched out their hands towards the precept Bodhi.

The precept Bodhi looked stagnant.

When they came, they happened to meet the boat that was coming back, but now they looked at the river next to this peony county, which was empty, and there was not a single boat coming and going.

"What about the carriage?" The precept Bodhi asked tentatively.

"Do you have a way out?" White Bones glanced at him.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, life does not bring the Adua things that death does not bring, and poor monks have never carried it on their bodies." The precept Bodhisattva's face was straight, he raised his mouth and announced the Buddha's name, folded his hands, and said slowly.

"What about the money your eldest brother sent you every month before the accident?" Bai Guzi couldn't help but ask.

These were personal possessions, and he had never asked Bodhi about them before.

"Naturally, it's about using as much as you want. I ordered a robe and a string of fine agate prayer beads in the town next door last month, and I ran out. Speaking of this, Bodhi suddenly turned his head, looked at Tan Mo and said, "Little junior brother, I have a set of robes that I can't wear, but it's not broken at all, if you don't dislike it, take it and wear it." ”

"Thank you, brother." Tan Mo had a wooden face and thanked him very sincerely.

Bai Guzi knew that the precept Bodhi took the opportunity to change the topic, but he didn't know what to say. But taking the carriage, this is a lot of travel expenses, which makes him really feel sorry for his money bag.

So after thinking about it, Bai Guzi looked at the mirror void and said to Tan Mo: "The cost of this carriage is not cheap, I really can't afford it alone." Otherwise, third junior brother, junior brother, how about you give me an IOU? The four of us share it equally? When you have the money in the future, you will return it to my senior brother. ”

Mirror Void rolled up his sleeves, pretended to shake, and then took off his shoes, the top of the sock had already been torn, and at this moment the toes of his feet came out and shook from side to side.

"Second Senior Brother, can you bear to ask me for money?" Mirror Void asked Bai Guzi.

Seeing this, Tan Mo shook his sleeves, and then was about to take off his shoes, when he saw Bai Guzi pinching his nose, waving his hand again and again, and said, "Okay, okay, the little junior brother has been damaged by you." You two don't have to pay this money, I and the fifth junior brother will share it equally. ”

As he spoke, Bai Guzi pointed to the precept of Bodhi and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, you have no objection, right?" ”

The precepts didn't value these possessions, so he nodded and said, "Naturally, there isn't." This time I came to Peony County to take an adventure, it was also because of my business, no matter what, I should pay part of the travel expenses. My brother is still settling accounts! ”

"Then we'll take the boat back. As for today, there is no need to rush back, let's go to the temple in the county to borrow a few days, just to ask what happened in Peony County. Bai Guzi thought for a moment and said.

"But what if the temple is already in trouble?" Mirror Void asked.

"Then this shows that the problem is big, we are very likely to come and not be able to leave, so let's stop doing useless struggles and wait for death with peace of mind!" Bai Guzi squinted his eyes and looked at the mirror void with an unkind expression.

Seeing this, the Mirror Void nodded, and then put on his own shoes.
