Cinnabar powder suppresses evil spirits, and can also solve ghosts and cover eyes.

When the old Taoist priest smeared cinnabar powder on my eyebrows, I realized that I was indeed next to a big tree. But this tree I have seen, it is the hollow old willow tree that the old Taoist priest worshipped.

Other than that, I went to look for the snake path again, but I found that there was no snake road at all. It's just that the weird smell of snakes is still there.

Could it be that some snake demon deliberately lured me here? But what was the snake demon's purpose in luring me under this hollow old willow tree?

I'll tell the old Taoist priest what I just did.

The old Taoist priest said that he couldn't figure it out either.

However, when the Nine Yin Temple was there, this old willow tree had been there for an unknown amount of time. The old willow tree is very mysterious, and in some areas of the Northeast, the reason why the snake demon is called the willow fairy is because some snake demons who have become good spirits often use the hollow old willow tree as their nest.

Could it be that there is still a snake demon hidden in this old willow tree?

The old Taoist priest and his master, the mystery of the Nine Yin Views that he said is also related to this snake demon? I will speculate, speaking to the old Taoist priest, he said that he had not heard of the snake demon in this old willow tree before.

This matter can be regarded as an episode, and the old Taoist priest and I searched near this old willow tree, and there was no trace of the python at all. Where snakes often move, there are usually things like snake molts, snake oil, or snake foam, but there are no near the old willow trees. Don't dwell on this matter anymore, at the moment, the most important thing is to find Xiao Xuanzi and them.

Now that the old Taoist priest has found Xiao Xuanzi's yellow talisman, it is very likely that it is a clue deliberately left by Xiao Xuanzi. I went with the old Taoist priest, and I originally wanted to call the second fat, but the old Taoist priest said, time is urgent, we can't delay, the two of us go to look for it first, if the second fat can't find us, he will go to the Taoist temple to wait for us.

When the time comes, find Xiao Xuanzi and them, and we will return to the Taoist temple again, and it will not be too late to meet Erfat.

Following the old Taoist, we walked for more than ten minutes, and came to the three forks where we caught ghosts before. On the ground in front of him, another yellow charm fell.

The old Taoist priest immediately went over and picked it up.

"This is also left by Xiao Xuanzi." He said.

However, there are three roads here, leading in three directions, I don't know, which road Xiao Xuanzi was taken to. The old Taoist priest was also a little embarrassed, he looked around, and said, "Lin Daoyou, what do you see over there?" ”

I glanced at it, as if I saw a piece of paper money on the ground, I went to pick it up, and the old Taoist priest said, "This is the money to buy the road, and someone borrowed the road from here to leave." ”

Of these three forks, I only know one of the roads, which leads to Longyuan County. I didn't know where it led, so I asked the old Taoist, "Where is this road going?" ”

At night, the road stretches into the darkness in the distance, and the road appears to have a very gentle slope.

He said, "This road leads to the mountains." ”

"In the mountains, what kind of mountains are the mountains here?" I asked, I hadn't heard the old Taoist priest say that there were mountains here. I hadn't seen it in the daytime, there was a mountain in the distance, and I thought, maybe it's overgrown here, and the grass is taller than people, so I just obscured my vision, so I didn't think much about it.

The old Taoist priest said to me: "The mountain is near Longyuan County, so it is naturally called Longyuan Mountain." However, this name was called after the fall of the dragon, followed by the name of Longyuan County, and it has nothing to do with the legendary ancestral lineage of the dragon clan. ”

"Are there evil things on the mountain?" I asked.

"I don't know this, Longyuan Mountain has always been very peaceful, and I have never heard of anything strange happening. Perhaps, Xiao Xuanzi was to avoid being chased by the Yin soldiers, so he hid on Longyuan Mountain. The old Taoist priest said.

"Then let's go up the mountain and look for it." I said, if Xiao Xuanzi really hid in the mountains, he would definitely not be able to go far with so many children, and we would probably be able to catch up with us all the way.

Hearing me say this, the old Taoist priest nodded slightly and headed towards that road.

The mountain fog is thick, the humidity on the mountain is heavy, and there is a strange fishy smell in the air, a bit similar to the smell of snakes. I don't know if it's my delusion, but I feel like the smell is almost everywhere, and I can smell it everywhere. The old Taoist priest hurried away without saying a word, as if he was worried about Xiao Xuanzi and those children.

I briefly comforted him, but he only responded with a match.

Yamashita.

Near that Taoist temple.

The second fat shuttled through the barren grass until he reached the vicinity of the Taoist temple and got out of the grass. Behind him, there were more than a dozen children, one of whom was Xiao Xuanzi.

After inquiry, Er Fat learned that after we left the Taoist Temple, near the Taoist Temple, many Yin soldiers and ghosts came to besiege the Taoist Temple. The formation was carried for a while, but it still couldn't be carried after all. Before the formation was broken, Xiao Xuanzi folded some paper figures and stained the blood of those children on the paper figures.

In this way, the Yin soldiers are confused.

Then, Xiao Xuanzi took those children and escaped from the cave behind the Sanqing statue from the Taoist temple. Shuttling through the weeds, Xiao Xuanzi finally took those children and hid in the hollow old willow tree after worshipping the old willow tree. Later, some of the ghosts of the Yin soldiers chased them over, and searched for a long time near the old willow tree, but they were never found hiding in the hole of the tree.

As a result, Xiao Xuanzi and those children escaped the catastrophe.

The reason why Xiao Xuanzi took those children to hide in the willow tree was because the old Taoist priest had told him before, and he had memorized the magic of the old willow tree.

However, outside the Taoist temple, there is a mess, leaving traces of the tragic death of the Yin soldiers.

It shows that there has been a vicious battle outside the Taoist temple, and it is not Xiao Xuanzi who fights with those Yin soldiers. Although Xiao Xuanzi knows some Taoism, he is not strong enough to kill all the Yin soldiers with the power of one person.

It is difficult to know who killed the Yin soldiers.

Erfat took Xiao Xuanzi and returned to the Taoist temple, thinking that the old Taoist priest and I could not find Xiao Xuanzi's whereabouts, and they would come back to meet, but after waiting for a while, no one returned.

The second fat was a little worried, so he let Xiao Xuanzi stay, and he went out to have a look.

Who knows, as soon as the second fat foot went out, he saw that the old Taoist priest was walking towards this side. He was in a hurry, and when he saw the second fat, he said, "Lin Daoyou, have you found the children?" ”

Xiao Xuanzi heard the voice and followed from behind.

"Found it! Grandpa, I took a few brothers and brothers and hid in a hollow old willow tree. Xiao Xuanzi said, the old Taoist priest touched his head and said, "Xiao Xuanzi is really clever." ”

"Senior, have you seen my boss?" The second fat looked behind the old Taoist priest, but there was no trace of me.

The old Taoist priest frowned slightly, and he said, "He hasn't come back yet?" I thought he was back! ”

The expression on Erfat's face was a little ugly.

"I'll go out and look for it." Erfat said.

The old Taoist priest glanced at Xiao Xuanzi and the other children, and said, "It's okay, Lin Daoyou, you go, I'll stay in the temple and take good care of these children." ”

Xiao Xuanzi walked over and said, "Grandpa, those Yin soldiers have been killed, and they shouldn't come back." You can accompany your uncle and go to find that Uncle Lin together, there is me here, grandpa don't worry! ”

Xiao Xuanzi is very sensible.

However, at this time, the old Taoist priest looked at the second fat.

A hint of weirdness flashed in the eyes of the second fat, and he said, "Senior, otherwise, you should stay and take care of these children." My boss has the ability, and there will definitely be nothing wrong, maybe he is worried about the little Xuanzi and them, and he has been looking for it! ”

"Thank you Lin Daoyou for your understanding!" The old Taoist priest arched his hand and said.

The second fat nodded and stepped out of the Taoist temple.

Longyuan Mountain.

In the middle of a mountain stream.

The fog was getting heavier and heavier, and I followed the old Taoist priest and walked all the way into the mountains.

This mountain stream, as if there is no end, we have been walking, walking for an hour, but the old Taoist priest in front of him still did not mean to stop. I asked, "Senior, we've all been walking for so long, can't we be going in the wrong direction?" The humidity on this mountain is so heavy, and there are no footprints of a child on this mountain road we walk. ”

After all, the children walked slowly, and the road we walked was not close, if the road was right, we should have caught up with Xiao Xuanzi and them.

"Lin Daoyou, it's late at night now, if you are sleepy, go back first. I'll go into the mountain alone to look for it first, even if I'm not here, I don't take a look, this heart is not steady! The old Taoist priest said.

"Senpai, that's not what I meant."

"I know, it's okay!" He said.

The mountain road is rugged, the fog is thick, and the leaves of the mountain will drip from time to time, falling on the neck, cold and biting, making people shiver.

There was a rustling sound in the mountains and forests.

The sound was as if a snake was weaving through the grass in the woods, and just hearing the sound made my scalp tingle.

"I remember, there's a cave in the mountains ahead, and we're almost there! Xiao Xuanzi and them are probably hiding in the cave. ”

At this time, the old Taoist priest spoke.
