Chapter 203: The First Wave of the Night
In the face of the villagers' condemnation, although he was a little embarrassed, the expression on his face was still smiling.
"It's not good for you to get rid of me!"
I opened my mouth and said word by word.
The Taoist priest standing next to me also added.
"It's not a question of not leaving, but that there are already things around our village...... Even if you leave now, it's useless, let alone ......"
The Taoist priest suddenly turned his head to look at me, and I nodded understandingly.
"I'm not 100% sure, but I can still help if I stay here."
Seeing the two of us say this, the villagers were stunned for a moment, and then nodded silently.
The village chief stepped forward, and so did my father, who took care of me.
"This is the time when the village is at its most critical, and it is time for all of us to work together to fight the crisis."
"The village chief is right...... That's why I propose that we stick together. ”
With the village chief's message, the villagers had significantly fewer opinions about me staying here.
Although I can stay here, it doesn't mean that the crisis is half a point less.
That night, at my suggestion, the Taoist priest erected one heaven and earth talisman after another around him. Until nightfall, everyone gathered in the open space in the middle of the village, brought out all the various beef and mutton of their own family, and enjoyed a good meal together.
In the words of the village chief, this was also a treat for me, and I was naturally grateful, and vaguely felt that the burden on my shoulders was a little heavier.
It didn't take long for it to get dark, so I asked the villagers to go back to their houses.
In addition, every villager in the village has been put with heaven and earth charms.
And I repeatedly told you not to go out unless necessary, and not to open the door no matter what happens.
After repeating the instructions, the villagers said that they would obey it, and everyone dispersed.
At this time, I followed my father back to the house where I lived.
"Do you think we can beat it tonight?"
The Taoist priest sat in front of me, turned around and asked, somewhat uncertainly.
Although he is also a Taoist priest, he has never encountered such a sharp and strange thing.
I shook my head and didn't say anything.
After entering the house with the Taoist priest, we quickly set up the heaven and earth talisman.
A candle was then lit, and the Taoist priest placed a yellow talisman underneath the candle.
I didn't understand, so I asked.
"In this way, the effect of the yellow charm will spread through the candlelight of the candle."
I nodded.
This candle is also known as the shelf.
It is said to have been made by a Taoist priest himself.
The raw materials used are unknown, and even the Taoist priest can't say this, but he just said that it was left by his master.
I could feel the difference between the candles and one glance.
First of all, the candle light is very bright.
It stands to reason that a small candle is far from enough for the house we are in now, but now after lighting a candle, the whole room is as white as day.
And at the bottom of the candle, a small dragon was carved.
Even the color of the candle body is a little golden.
I figured it had some gold dust in it, or it wouldn't have been that color.
I checked the surroundings once.
The Taoist priest also pasted yellow charms around the house, and all the places where yellow charms could be pasted.
I also followed along.
There are no anomalies.
Although I am fully prepared now, I know that when the time comes, all this preparation will be useless.
My Taoist priest, the two of them sat down on the edge of the Heaven and Earth Talisman.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a dog barking not far away.
"Something's coming......"
I said coldly.
Hurriedly raised his eyes and looked over, it was pitch black outside the glass window, and nothing could be seen.
"What are these things......?"
"Don't come closer, don't come near ......"
I heard what seemed to be a few shouts coming from behind our house.
The Taoist priest and I looked behind us at the same time, but luckily there was also a glass window at the back of the house.
A few brave villagers walked out of the house with torches in their hands.
"Damn, what can I do if this continues!"
I exclaimed, a little angrily.
The Taoist priest was also in a better situation than me, so he didn't go anywhere, and looked at the villagers with some anxiety.
"I've already told them not to go out, why are they just disobedient!"
Even though I was angry, I was still trying to figure out how to save them.
I couldn't see what they were seeing from my vantage point, but the two dog barks just now made them absolutely unusual.
If the doors and windows of the house are closed, and the heaven and earth talisman is placed in the house, a temporarily confined space can be formed.
But the villagers had already opened the door.
That is to say, the destruction of this confined space.
As a result, the role of the Heaven and Earth Talisman has been greatly reduced.
"Let's go out and save people!"
The Taoist priest pulled me and said.
I nodded, but was about to approach the door when I suddenly heard a loud noise outside.
"Open the door!"
The Taoist priest had a lot of yellow talismans in his hands, so he couldn't open the door, so he was a little anxious to let me open it.
"No."
I said coldly.
Hurriedly leaned over to the window and looked in the direction of the gate.
There was already a completely black thing standing in the doorway, with no face.
"You're about to open the door!"
The Taoist priest continued.
But seeing that my face changed, he hurriedly came over, and then he also saw the all-black thing.
As the two of us observed, the thing suddenly turned around slowly, and leaned its entire body against the window.
If it's just all black, it's fine, but ...... When the thing slowly turned around, it stuck to the window like a gummy, and then the part that was attached to the window, in an instant, revealed a face.
The face of a villager with horror and despair.
"I'm afraid that those villagers have already encountered an accident, and it doesn't make much sense for us to go out now......
I continued to speak coldly, but my eyes were fixed on the face.
On the other hand, I was relieved.
Besides, I have done my duty, and I have warned those people not to go out, but they just won't listen, and in that case, they have given their lives for it, and the responsibility will not be placed on my head.
After all, there is nothing to regret when an unruly person dies.
However, the only thing I feel sorry for is the families of those people.
Once the confined space is destroyed, unless they hold the Heaven and Earth Talisman tightly, otherwise, it is unlikely that they will survive.
