Chapter 1: Blood Paves the Way

The wind is howling, the sand is flying, and the night is so deep and cold.

It stands to reason that it's not winter yet, why is this area in front of you so unkind? I don't know what this place is, but I know that not long after I left Qinhuangdao with Master, this area seems to be still in the bay. Master said before that we were about to pass through Tianjin, and that we would be able to reach Cangzhou City further south, but we were walking along the coast and going around in circles, which confused me.

There seems to be a large lake in front of me, and I don't know exactly what kind of lake it is. This lake seems to be not far from the beach in front of it, and between the lake and the sea, there is a dam, the locals call it a reservoir, some say that the reservoir is for water storage and the dam is for interception, whatever it is, anyway, I want to find a village to spend the night now, and get some food by the way.

Not far away, Master suddenly pointed to a small village in front of me and said, "Ergou, we might as well spend the night in the village in front of us and leave tomorrow morning." It's almost past the hour, it's too late! "When I heard Master's words, my eyes almost popped out, once upon a time, did Master say such heart-warming words? It seems that in Master's world, in addition to desperately slaying demons and subduing demons, he is desperately hurrying, all over the world, constantly hurrying.

It was always me who insisted on stopping and resting, and Master would reluctantly agree. And this time, Master actually took the initiative to stop and spend the night, the sun really came out in the west!

I grinned, hurriedly ran to Master's side, glanced at the village in the distance, and immediately said with a smile: "Master is wise and martial, transcendent and holy, immortal and clever, and has a masterful demeanor...... Apprentice, my admiration for you, Master, is like a surging river, flooding more and more......"

"Shut up!"

Master glared at me, and then said, "I don't know that I have so many advantages, but your eyes are bright!" And there is more and more nonsense, are you complaining in your heart, before being a teacher, you only cared about the road, and did not let you have a good sleep and a full meal? We cultivators should seek truth from facts and not lie, don't you say? "Hearing Master's words, my eyes rolled, has Master also learned to joke? No, Master is so abnormal, first took the initiative to let us find a nearby village to rest, and then asked me such a low-level question, which may be deceitful.

But since Master said to seek truth from facts, I had to nod and say, "Master, your old man is really so wise, did you call sleeping before?" I've never slept at all, and is that called eating? It takes three or two days to find some wild fruit and tree roots to satisfy my hunger, and sometimes I can't even drink water...... Master, you made me tell the truth! Alas, I didn't expect it to be a fraud......"

Master's eyes widened slightly, and I suddenly even had the heart to die, and sure enough, Master said angrily: "Trick you into a big-headed ghost!" Although the teacher is a little stricter, aren't you also good now, don't you lack arms and legs? Bastard boy, find a place to live later, and punish you to read the Tao Te Ching ten times before you can sleep! ”

"Huh?"

My face suddenly turned bitter melon color, and I said even more bitterly: "Read the Tao Te Ching ten times, isn't it all bright that day?" Master, I was wrong Master...... Master, I was wrong, your old man is merciful, don't punish me, okay? I guarantee that the part that praised you earlier is from the bottom of my heart, and there is no lie, and the so-called seeking truth from facts after that is all a joke, haha! Are you kidding, Master, don't take it seriously......"

"It's still nonsense, add it ten more times!"

"Master, you ...... you"

"If you don't want to read it, you can not read it, you can change it to copy it twenty times......

"Don't! I read, I read! ”

It wasn't until we unconsciously came to the entrance of the village in front of us, and after some bargaining, the final result finally rose to 20 times, good guy, I finally understood a truth, anyone in this world can be offended, but you can't offend the master...... It's so ruthless, you can make me obey without moving a finger, but it's better to kick my feet. Alas, Master, this old stubborn, I won't joke in front of him casually if I am killed in the future.

"Master, why don't you go into the village?" I was looking down and calculating how long it would take to recite the Tao Te Ching twenty times, but I felt that the master was in the way in front of me, so I asked casually, but I didn't hear the master's response, and I raised my head coldly, and I was inexplicably stupid. This, this, this...... "Master! What the hell is this village? Is this Hades? That's not right! I didn't open the eye of the sky, and now what I see with my naked eyes should be the real world in the yang world, but this ...... Why is this village like this?! ”

The world is so big, there are no surprises, but it really responds to the first two sentences. This village, stretching from the entrance of the village to the inside of the village, as far as the eye can see, the road around the village is full of blood...... Blood paves the way!

What is this custom? Too weird, right? I've never heard of the idea of paving roads with blood, and the blood is still bright red, and it makes sense that it doesn't take long for the blood to coagulate and turn black. But the blood on the ground didn't seem to show signs of clotting, as if it had just been released. In addition, on the big trees on both sides of the village, there are paper lanterns hanging on each side, and under the light of the withered yellow, it seems that the blood is even more terrifying!

I turned my head tremblingly and glanced at the master, at this moment, the master's face was not in sight, his eyes were quietly staring at the village in front of him, and he didn't say a word. After a while, Master bent down to investigate the blood on the ground, and I hurriedly bent down and touched it lightly with my fingers, and then put it in front of my nose and sniffed it.

"It's dog blood, and it's black dog blood!" Suddenly, Master said in a cold voice.

"Master, how do you know it's black dog blood?"

I looked at the master in astonishment, but when I saw the master pointing to the handful of black dog hair that fell into the blood not far away, I immediately understood, and then said, "I thought it was someone dead in this village, but since this blood is black dog blood, why...... Why do the villagers here get so much black dog blood to be sprinkled on the roads around the village? Also, Master, you see that the blood has not shown signs of coagulation and remains bright red, what is the reason for this? ”

"It's simple, as long as you add some salt to the blood, it won't coagulate!" The master frowned again, seemed to think of something again, and said: "The blood of the black dog is the blood of the yang, second only to the boy's eyebrow, and the blood of the cockscomb is the same yang blood, which can be used to draw talismans, spells, etc., but many people don't know yet, blood is blood, no matter how much yang qi is in the blood, it is still blood after all!" And once the bloody gas is dispersed, aside from the regular use, it is very likely to provoke the blood-eating ghosts to come, the so-called blood-eating ghosts, that is, the evil ghosts that smell the bloody breath, and those who eat blood, once they provoke the blood-eating ghosts, the consequences will be very serious. Even if there is no blood-soaking ghost coming, once the black dog's blood touches the ground, you must know that the ground is full of filthy things, and it also has a filthy qi, then the yang qi of the black dog's blood will inevitably be broken! ”

"Master, what if it's broken?"

I hurriedly asked.

Master paused, then said, "If the Yang Qi is broken, then the black dog's blood will become filthy blood, and instead of being able to play the role of the righteous path, it will become a filth that destroys the qi veins and feng shui!" You must know that in everything, if you use it on the good side, you will help others, and if you use it on the bad side, you can harm others. There are no absolutes in the world! ”

"Master, in that case, these black dog blood paved the entire village road, that is to say, either the villagers of this village offended someone from another village, and someone deliberately came to harm the villagers of this village, so so much black dog blood was paved. Either...... It's that this village slaughters dogs for a living, and all this blood is killed by killing dogs, Master, do you think my analysis is reasonable? ”

I reached out and scratched my forehead, as if the second possibility was too small, because even if it was a dog killing, it would not be possible to sprinkle the dog's blood all over the village and spread it so evenly. When Master heard my words, he shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe it is, or maybe not." Now I don't know why these black dog blood is being paved on the road, but at least it is certain that this village is full of blood, which will inevitably provoke evil spirits from all directions, and if there are still people living in this village, it will inevitably cause trouble! ”

"So, do we enter the village or not? If we enter the village, we can notify the villagers inside to take precautions, but we ourselves will be contaminated with the blood of these black dogs, but if we don't enter the village, it doesn't seem appropriate! ”

I stood up slowly, and under the light of the withered yellow paper lanterns, I looked at the deep village alley, which was pitch black, as if I couldn't see the edge at a glance. The surrounding atmosphere is even more dead and quiet, and in the middle of the night, you can't even hear the cry of a bug, it's really weirdly tight!

"Do you know it's inappropriate?"

Master glared at me again, and walked into the village without saying anything, and I trembled, and Master really went in. Alas, I know that once I encounter an evil thing, if I don't care about it, the master will not be able to pass that level, let alone the life and death of a village, this is not a trivial matter, with the character of the master, no matter what is a strange thing, I am really superfluous. The master had already entered the village, and I had to enter even if I didn't enter, so I had to step on these dirty black dog blood and cautiously enter the village.

After the entrance of the village, standing on the road in the village, looking forward, looking left and right, I am really not afraid of waste, there is black dog blood everywhere! The streets and alleys, even the corners are not spared, this, what kind of fame is this?!
