Chapter 21: The Rifle Inn 3
The black shadow stood motionless in the corner, Zhuang Zhengde's legs and stomach were a little tendoned, after all, it was the first time he had seen a haunted thing with his own eyes, and his mind couldn't turn for a while.
Hu Bulai tentatively waved the mahogany sword, and then pulled out a yellow talisman to prepare to strike first. The dark shadow suddenly turned around and drew its sword, and rushed towards the two of them. Hu Bulai was startled, and the yellow talisman in his hand fell to the ground. Zhuang Zhengde was about to make a reminder, but when he saw Hu Bulai, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he collided with the hero, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Zhuang Zhengde saw that Hu Bulai was angry, and he hated it so much that his teeth itched, this cowardly bag is really a cowhide bastard, and he just said that the king of heaven Lao Tzu came to retreat, this will fucking kneel faster than anyone else. Zhuang Zhengde stood aside with a cold face and didn't dare to move, the black shadow was also startled by Hu Bulai, tilted his head in some confusion, looked at this sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man, opened his mouth to speak, but the voice sounded very hollow, as if it came from all directions.
"Are you ordinary people? Why fight against Ben? Isn't it the spy sent by the foreigner? Hurry up and recruit from the truth! Then he raised his sword and made a gesture to slash.
Zhuang Zhengde looked at the black shadow's face gradually clear, it was a square-faced man with leopard eyes and round eyes, with a beard, hearing the black shadow speak, Zhuang Zhengde replied, "The two of us are just passing by here, and then settle down at this inn to rest." I don't know where the general is, and what is his surname? ”
Hu Bulai lay on the ground motionless, as if he was pretending to be dead, and he didn't dare to come out, how could he still have the appearance of being called a thunderbolt archmage?
The black shadow was a little puzzled, "This general is Zhang Biao, the general of the Zhenshan Battalion in Shuozhou Prefecture, who has been fighting against the foreigner recently, why did he come to this inn?" I don't think you two are like that foreign scout, what are you doing here? ”
Zhuang Zhengde was a little headless and brainless by the words of this black shadow, "General Zhang, there has been no battle in recent days. I waited until I heard that the inn was haunted, so I came here to find out. I don't want to disturb the general, I am offended. ”
The black shadow pondered for a long time, and felt that he couldn't remember many things, "Impossible, the Holy Tongzhi Master did not order me to wait for the defense, this fight has been killing for more than half a month, how can there be no battle?" The two of you don't want to frame me, if you dare not tell the truth, you will not be spared today. ”
When Hu Bulai heard this Tongzhi Ye, he didn't pretend to be dead, he lay on the ground and said, "General Zhang's grandfather, this is all Guangxu Ye ascended the throne, where else did Tongzhi come from?" What are you doing with me? Isn't it a general's grandfather who doesn't know that he is dead? ”
The black shadow heard the nonsense of the man lying on the ground, raised his sword and cut it down, Hu Bulai heard the whistling sound in his ears, and a donkey rolled to the side of the bed. He got up and picked up a yellow talisman and threw it over, only to hear a crackling sound, and the yellow talisman hit the black shadow with a burst of fire. The black shadow was kicked back three steps by this yellow talisman, and he was annoyed and angry, and rushed towards Hu Bulai with a swing of his sword.
Zhuang Zhengde lost the charter for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to run away, "General Zhang, this is now the Guangxu period, and there is indeed no Tongzhi Ye, are you thinking about it carefully, have you died on the battlefield a few years ago?" ”
The black shadow didn't make a sound, but he fought with this Hu Bulai, who also had two brushes, got up to dodge, and the yellow charm kept flying and fighting back. For a while, it was very lively, and the crackling sound was endless. Zhuang Zhengde was in a hurry, he was an unlucky scholar who was powerless, and he was really not good at fighting.
Hu Bulai dealt with it carefully, and he still received a few swords on his body, although this ghost general did not have a physical object, but his soul hurt to death when he hit his body. There was no way for him to grin for a while, so he could only swing his sword and fight back. Every time this peachwood sword stabbed, the black shadow roared, but there was nothing to be done.
Hu Bulai was a little anxious, and shouted, "Brother Zhuang, what are you watching from the side?" Hurry up and think of a way to restrain this, Mr. Big didn't teach you some body techniques? If I go on like this, I can't burp today, what kind of big thing will I do? ”
Zhuang Zhengde dodged and shouted, "Hu Bu come, I have a chicken feather technique, you just bragged about the earth-shattering sound, will you show that you have no tricks?" Suddenly remembering the piece of jade pendant that Old Man Bai handed over to him, Zhuang Zhengde hurriedly took it out, he was in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do, so he pinched the jade pendant and shouted, "My Uncle Bai, Grandpa Bai, Ancestor Bai, you have a trick." If you don't support you, I'll wait for my dad and you to ask for someone! ”
But after shouting for a long time, Yu Pei didn't react at all. Zhuang Zhengde, who was angry, really wanted to smash it, Hu Bulai and the black shadow had already fallen into a stalemate, and the two of them were so lively that they came and went, and there was only a dinging sound left in the room. Hu Bulai is already a little out of breath, after all, he is old, and his physical strength is a little worse than that of the old one.
Hu Bulai saw that this was not a solution, so he bit the tip of his tongue ruthlessly, and sprayed at the black shadow when he found the opportunity. This mouthful of old blood sprayed a black shadow, and I heard a sound of cheering. Zhuang Zhengde was sweating profusely, and the gray light around the black shadow was much dimmer.
The black shadow took a move, and was a little sluggish, turning around and jumping into the corner of the wall, ready to retract into the wall. Hu Bulai quickly drew a yellow talisman and hit it according to the corner of the wall, only to hear the black shadow hit the wall with a bang, and he sat down and didn't move.
Zhuang Zhengde looked at Hu Bulai's smooth operation, and secretly applauded in his heart. However, this kind of thing, Zhuang Zhengde can only coax the seedlings, and there is no way at all.
After a while, the shadow still didn't move, just sat there and didn't move. Zhuang Zhengde asked in a low voice, "Hu Bu comes, what's the situation?" Is this restrained? ”
Hu Bulai sighed, and his speech was a little vague, "Zi live and sa sa will live zi, I don't know the situation, you ask you to be a disciple of the great ancestors, it is really useless." I can't make a move yet. ”
Zhuang Zhengde heard that there would be kung fu ridicule if he didn't come here, and he knew that it was not a big deal. Rolling his eyes, he didn't know if Hu Bulai had seen it, Zhuang Zhengde stood aside and didn't say anything.
The black shadow sat like that for a long time, and Zhuang Zhengde only watched the gray energy around the black shadow gradually begin to dissipate, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Hu Bulai cautiously got up and leaned over, the peachwood sword gently poked the black shadow's feet, the black shadow snorted, as if he wanted to stand up, but he only felt weak, and sat down again.
Hu Bulai held a peachwood sword and stalemate with the black shadow, the black shadow snorted for a long time, and said, "Two, Tong Qian is around here?" The two of them called her, and I had something to tell her. The black shadow's voice was a little weak, and it lost the feeling of emptiness just now.
Zhuang Zhengde listened to the black shadow call the name of the shopkeeper Tong, hurriedly responded, ran to the corridor and shouted a few times to the shopkeeper Tong. The shopkeeper didn't know where he went, and after hearing the shout, he hurriedly ran in through the small door in the backyard of the inn.
Zhuang Zhengde found the candle and groped for this light, and the shopkeeper Tong trotted all the way into the house, but he was a little confused, a Hu Daochang stood aside and panted, and Zhuang Zhengde sat at the table and didn't know what to do staring at the corner. Hu Bulai remembered that this ordinary person couldn't see this ghost, "Brother Zhuang, you eat a piece of willow leaf for the shopkeeper." ”
Only then did Zhuang Zhengde react, took out a few pieces from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper Tong. Shopkeeper Tong chewed it in and frowned, and after a while, he saw the figure lying in the corner, and when he looked at it, Shopkeeper Tong cried out with a wow, "Husband, I can be regarded as finding you, how can you bear to leave me alone and have no news?" It's so hard for the slave family to find you. With that, he ran towards the black shadow, trying to hold the black shadow in his arms, but his hands could only pass through it.
The shopkeeper Tong was unable to support it, and he also sat on the ground, covering his face and sobbing at the black shadow.
The black shadow slowly raised his right hand and touched the hair of the shopkeeper Tong lovingly, "Qian'er, it's not the husband who left you." After this in the army, it was defeated by the foreigners, I was a small soldier, I couldn't help myself, my battalion brothers fought hard for several days, but they couldn't beat the foreigners' muskets and artillery, I only remember a loud bang, I just don't feel it anymore. ”
"Since then, I've been in a daze, just following the place I remember, looking for your breath all the way to this inn. But under this inn is buried a general who joined the army in the Tongzhi period, I can't beat him, I want to jump into reincarnation when I see you, but I was robbed of my soul by this old general. If it weren't for today's fight, I'm afraid my husband would never see you again, my Qian'er. ”
The shopkeeper Tong couldn't cry when he heard this, Tong Qian and this husband are childhood sweethearts, but since the two got married, they haven't spent much time, and they thought that their husband would come back to live with him, but this goodbye is already yin and yang.
Zhuang Zhengde also sighed when he listened to it, when will this world be like this?
Hu Bu looked at the two who met again, and he didn't bother. Just standing quietly aside, this commotion came and went, killing an old general, and a small soldier came out. The fact that this inn is haunted is already strange. If it is said that this ghost does not harm people, there are few cases. But today's kind of thing, Hu Bulai has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and it is the first time to see it.
Shopkeeper Tong wiped his tears, choked up and said, "Husband, don't worry." Qian'er has been able to take charge of herself, and after opening this inn, she can barely get by, but she misses her husband every night. If it weren't for the help of the two Dao Masters today, Qian'er wouldn't have seen you. It's just that the husband is bitter, and Qian'er can't give birth to a son and a half daughter for you. ”
Zhuang Zhengde saw that the figure of the black shadow gradually began to blur, and began to dissipate from his feet to his head little by little. Xu is a wish has been fulfilled, and he is about to enter reincarnation.
The black shadow sighed and said softly, "It's okay if you don't have children, let you take care of the children alone, and the husband can't be blind even under the nine springs." You just find a good person to marry, you and I have ended our fate today. If there is an afterlife, you will meet and fall in love. Qian'er, I'm leaving. Take care. ”
Before the words fell, the black shadow had turned into a puff of green smoke and curled up.
When the shopkeeper Tong saw this scene, he cried hoarsely again, and the pear blossoms brought rain. Zhuang Zhengde didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to walk closer and help the shopkeeper Tong stand up, and the shopkeeper Tong threw himself into Zhuang Zhengde's arms, crying even more. I have been waiting for several years, but I have waited for such a result. For a while, Shopkeeper Tong still couldn't accept it calmly.
Zhuang Zhengde smelled the fragrant wind, but he didn't dare to think nonsense in his mind, in case this black shadow came back and hammered himself, wouldn't it be a disaster.
Hu Bu came to see that this important matter was over, and the strength of the hanger came up again, with a lewd face, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhuang, I think it is better to take this opportunity, wouldn't it be beautiful for the two of you to successfully get married." If Brother Zhuang can't bear to drag down the shopkeeper, this matter will be handed over to Poor Dao to do, and Poor Dao is also tired of the life of the four seas as his home, and he has long wanted to hug the beauty back, leisurely. ”
When the shopkeeper Tong heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, gently pushed Zhuang Zhengde away, turned his head and took a sip, "The slave family will not marry you prodigal son even if he dies, or our Zhuang Gongzi, this shoulder is thick, and it feels comfortable to hold it." I've cried this time, and the two of you don't think I'm unkind. People cannot be resurrected from death, and life must go on. The slave family thanked the two Taoist masters for their help here. ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper Tong gave a blessing to the two. He knocked his head three times at the corner of the wall.
