Chapter 18: The Demon House
At nine o'clock in the evening, the three of them came to the shop that sold beef and mutton in the market town, and the owner, Xu Dajun, had been waiting at the door for a long time......
"Little pigtail apprentice, bring the compass for the teacher." "Uh...... Be. As soon as the blind man Liu entered the door, he began to pretend, saying that Chen Xiaobraid and Lu Dagang were his apprentices, and the puppy wanted to refute it, but he thought that it was also to make money, so he pouted and agreed.
"Well, tonight is the night of the full moon, and the old man happened to break the demon." At this time, Liu Blind was completely a charlatan, pretending to be presentable, claiming that he was a star and would be able to subdue demons and catch monsters.
"You go to the hotel in town for two nights! The old man's demon hunting is very dangerous, and ordinary people can't watch it. "Good! Okay, I'll listen to the master. But Xu Dajun was very convinced of him, and was coaxed by him in the clouds, so he obediently left the house and went to find another place to live for two nights.
"Hehe, it's up to the two young heroes next." But as soon as the army left, Liu Blind turned around and immediately changed his appearance......
"The old man is old, so let's go first!" After explaining a few words to Chen Xiaobraid and Lu Dagang, he ran away in a panic, how could he still have the style of an immortal master just now, he was completely like a coward and a profiteer.
"This old man doesn't say what kind of ghost he is, he runs really fast." "Well, I guess he doesn't know." Originally, the two young people wanted to learn more about the ghosts in the house from him, but they didn't think that Liu Blind had just stepped out of the door as soon as he finished speaking.
"Forget it, no matter what kind of ghost it is, the soldiers will block the water and cover it, let's go and meet it first." Chen Xiaobraid has followed his father for many years and has really learned a lot of things, but he has never had the space to perform independently, and he doesn't know much in front of him, so he can only take one step at a time.
Chen Xiaobraid carefully recalled Liu's blind man's account before, and took Lu Dagang to a large wooden barrel in the courtyard to observe carefully.
"What's so nice about this barrel?" "The lord said that the ghost often came here to steal blood and drink." Because the pigtail remembered that in the narration of the blind man, the ghost would come to the barrel every fifteen full moon nights to steal blood and drink, which was a clue.
"It's the full moon tonight, and we're here to watch it." Tonight is the night of the full moon, and Chen Xiaobraid estimates that the thing will still come, so it is better to wait here.
"What are you doing here?" "You know what, let's see." Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobraid took out a bundle of soul ropes from his bag and measured it in front of the barrel.
"My father said that this bundle of soul ropes is the treasure of our Xianjia Mountain, and there are many things that can be done." According to his plan, he was going to make a wire trap on top of the barrel, and if that thing came, it would not be able to escape.
"Act according to the plan for a while, remember, don't act without my instructions." "Oh, I see." According to the plan, the two of them had to stay on their own side, but Da Gang turned around and was about to leave but was stopped by pigtails, and repeatedly instructed several times. Although the pigtail is not usually on the right track, he has a strong premonition at this time that tonight's things may not be easy to deal with, and his nerves can't help but tense.
After telling Lu Dagang, the pigtail wrapped the soul rope in his hand around a wooden stake at the door of the wing room twice, grabbed one end in his hand, and then hid behind the door of the wing room.
Lu Dagang was arranged to hide in the window of the main house so that he could observe the situation of the wooden barrel filled with cow and sheep blood at any time. Unexpectedly, more than three hours had passed.
At first, Da Gang's nerves were still tense, but he waited too long, and after a day's farm work, he unconsciously closed his eyes, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling from the window.
Da Gang hurriedly looked out the window, but when he saw it clearly, he instantly felt excited, and he was completely sleepy......
Da Gang really couldn't understand what kind of horror he was seeing, there was an oversized centipede hanging outside the window at this time, but the head was a human skull. It's scary......
Chen Xiaobraid didn't dare to sleep, always vigilant, at this time he had already pulled up the steel cable in his hand and made all preparations.
I saw that the big centipede with the appearance of a skeleton was staring at the bucket of raw blood at this time, and did not notice the two people hiding in the shadows at all...... I saw it shake its head twice in front of the barrel, and then plunged into the barrel of raw blood, and suddenly the blood overflowed, and the sound of sucking and drinking blood came from the barrel from time to time.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Xiaobraid jumped out from behind the door of the wing room with an arrow step, and pulled the soul binding rope in his hand back vigorously. Chen Xiaobraid used the wooden stakes that are usually used to tie cattle and sheep as pulleys, and quickly tightened the soul rope tighter and tighter.
The steel cable sleeve that had been set up at the barrel before played a role at this time, and as soon as it was tightened, it was stuck on the head of the skeleton centipede, and the centipede was startled and immediately arched itself.
"How's it going, did you catch it?" The centipede struggled with the barrel and was temporarily controlled, and Lu Dagang was curious for a moment and ran out.
"Who the let you out! Didn't you say that you would listen to my command? Get the hell out of here. "What's wrong? Didn't you catch it? This frightened Chen Xiaobraid, and hurriedly shouted for Lu Dagang to go back quickly, but Lu Dagang was a little stunned at this time.
Chen Xiaobraid understood that this kind of thing was full of sensory organs, and when he heard someone approaching, the uncontrolled tail swept violently, and hit Da Gang's abdomen fiercely.
"Ahh It hurts to death! "Lu Dagang, you bastard." Seeing that Dagang had suffered a loss, the pigtail screamed angrily, wrapped the soul rope around again and ran in the direction of the main house, and at this time, the skeleton centipede smashed the wooden barrel against the brick wall, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at Chen Xiaobraid.
"It hurts! You bastard. "Dagang, how are you?" The pigtail pulled the steel cable hard, and the skeleton centipede was pulled farther and farther away from Dagang, and when he saw Lu Dagang get up from the ground, he knew that he was not seriously injured, and his heart was lowered.
"Quick, you pull the soul rope and run towards the house!! Find a place to tie it up! Chen Xiaobraid handed the soul rope in his hand to Lu Dagang, and instructed him to pull it into the house and tie it up, and he reflexively faced the big skeleton centipede.
At this time, the head of the skeleton centipede had been dragged to the direction of the wing, but the tail still swept violently towards Chen Xiaobraid, if it weren't for the pigtail's quick reaction, it would have been next to each other this time!
"Pigtail, are you alright?" By the time Lu Da had just bolted the soul rope out, the skeleton centipede had already been dragged to the stake.
"Leave me alone, you've been poisoned, take a look at yourself first!" "What... What the? Poisoning? Listening to Chen Xiaobraid reminding him that he was poisoned, Lu Dagang was a little confused, and he didn't feel any discomfort.
"It can really add to the chaos, eat this, this is made of red rat pills, my father said that this can cure a hundred poisons." "Why? Why did I get this color on my body! As soon as Lu Dagang stretched out his hand, he found that his whole body was a little blue, and he gradually felt a little numb, Chen Xiaobraid took out a red pill from his pocket and threw it to Lu Dagang, asking him to eat it quickly.
"Is it okay to be so small?" "Less nonsense, this one is worth four or five thousand! If you hadn't acted without permission, wouldn't the master have lost money! Lu Da just started thinking that this small pill was a little too little, and he wanted to ask for two more, but it can be seen that Chen Xiaobraid swallowed the words that came to his mouth with a violent face.
"Damn, how much did the master earn this trip? It's a big loss! "Cut, it's like the real thing." Seeing the appearance of the pigtail gritting his teeth, Da Gang was also a little vague in his heart, is this pigtail really willing to give himself such an expensive medicine? This is too different from his usual personality, but how did he know that what the pigtails said was all true, and at this time it really hurt the pigtails.
"Don't ink, eat quickly, and find two bamboo poles after eating." At this moment, Chen Xiaobraid took out a sharp ancient knife with a cold light from his bag, and that state suddenly startled Lu Dagang.
"You dead beast, look at how the master broke your body into thousands of pieces." Lu Dagang ran out and pulled out the two bamboo poles that Xu Dajun supported the shed at the door, ran back and handed them to Chen Xiaobraid......
"If you dare to hurt me and lose money, you must have the ability to bear my anger." Chen Xiaobraid was very angry at this time because of the big loss, and all his anger was sprinkled on the skeleton centipede's body with the murderous aura of the knife.
The skeleton centipede also felt the murderous aura, and suddenly its tail kept stabbing the ground, making a posture of resistance.
"Da Gang, you stand here." Chen Xiaobraid braided his face, drew a line on the ground with the sharpened bamboo pole, and instructed Lu Dagang to stand outside the drawn line.
"Where are you going? Am I just standing here? As soon as Lu Da saw that he was standing, the pigtail hid to the side, making him stunned, he thought that he was going to fight the centipede, but why did he stand here honestly.
Soon he understood, because a large black centipede tail clinged to his body like a bolt of lightning, whistling to the ground. If you stand a little bit in front of you, you're greeting yourself......
At this moment, Chen Xiaobraid jumped into the air with a sharpened bamboo pole at one end, and there was no need to think that the guy must have used himself as bait again.
Chen Xiaobraid's timing was just right, at this time, the tail of the skeleton centipede had just been inserted into the ground, and the bamboo pole in his hand had also arrived, nailing the centipede's tail to the ground.
"Damn! You've hurt me! "This little injury is more in line with your big hero's temperament." Because one end of the bamboo pole was sharpened very sharply, close to Dagang's thorn, it actually took off a piece of skin from Dagang's nose, Dagang felt a cold nose, and when he touched it, the blood had oozed out.
Chen Xiaobraid's heroic praise Lu Dagang's next curse was choked back in an instant, and at this time, Chen Xiaobraid came to the skeleton centipede with a sharpened bamboo knife.
At this time, both ends of the skeleton centipede were nailed to death, and there was no longer the majesty just now, and the squirming hundred feet looked a little anxious and flustered.
"Braid, why does this centipede grow like this?"
"This thing is a blood centipede, born in the dry bones of the coffin, the bigger it is, the more Tao it is, and the skull on top of it will become one after a long time! It's useless except to be scary. ”
Lu Dagang saw that Chen Xiaobraid was about to do it, but he didn't know what it was after tossing all night, so he was busy asking, Chen Xiaobraid was holding a bamboo knife and comparing it with the centipede, and at the same time told Lu Dagang about the centipede.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Xiaobraid saw the seventh joint of the centipede's body and slashed down with a bamboo knife, and the centipede broke into two in response.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you say that this centipede was poisonous! "What do you know, this centipede has a heart in its body, and it can't die if you don't dig it out." Seeing what Chen Xiaobraid was wearing leather gloves and digging into the centipede's body, Da Gang was a little strange, and when he heard Chen Xiao Braid say that it was to kill it completely, Da Gang didn't think much about it.
"That's it! Succeed with flying colors. "Wow, it's dawn, but there was no danger last night." After the two of them killed the big centipede after some tossing, the sky had already begun to brighten, and the sound of the rooster announcing the dawn came.
The two of them rested a little, packed up their things, and it was dawn......
"The two young heroes have worked hard! The old man is late. It didn't take long for me to hear a knock at the courtyard door, and it turned out to be Liu Blind who walked in with his guide cane again.
"Well, when I smell this fishy and rotten smell, it is estimated that it is a demon insect, it seems that it has been knotted by the two young heroes, admire and admire!" That Liu Blind Man does have some Taoism, and before the two of them answered, he pinched his nose and smelled it, and he understood the attributes of the monster, and he also guessed the matter.
"We have won awards and awards, but we are not as well-informed as Uncle Liu, we are far behind." The blind man Liu can speak, a young man, an admirer, and praise the two young people with joy.
"Where is it, the young man is decisive, he is a model for the world!" "Hehe, pigtails, we're really geniuses!" The pigtail knew that this was flattery, but it sounded pleasing to the heart, and Da Gang was even more praised that he couldn't find the north!
So the big and small foxes began to compliment each other, and at first Dagang was fine, but the more he listened, the more goosebumps arose.
"Uncle Liu, or the three of us will form a gang of three to form a gang of three to run rampant in the capital. What do you think? ”
"Fuck off, you little pigtail doesn't take advantage of the old man, the old man is the same generation as your father!"
Da Gang finally saw the nature of the big and small foxes this time, and he really can't compare with this rough man.
"That, Uncle Liu! Even if we marry Jinlan, the money should be given! ”
"Fuck off, the master hasn't given me the money yet, I can't put it on first! Where did I get the money for a blind man? ”
Although he was confused on his lips, he didn't forget his pigtails, and he still remembered his hard work in his heart! In front of this sleek old fox, he is really too tender.
"Uncle Liu, how did you get these eyes? I heard my dad say that you used to be a mountain walker! ”
"Alas, don't mention that I was young and vigorous at that time, and I suffered a big loss in the end!"
However, the pigtails can see that this old guy is deeply hidden, and it is definitely not simple, but now he is blind and has to face this kind of life. The pigtail thought to himself as he walked, and when he went back, he must let his father tell him the story of this blind man.
