The mountain road is winding, walking and resting, but it is still quite tiring to walk. This road is indeed basically abandoned, and the more you go, the more barren it becomes. The direction of the road was still clearly visible, but the weeds on both sides were growing wildly, vying to cover the road, and the road was only a line that zigzagged forward in the grass. In some places, weeds have grown between the cracks of the stone slabs on the pavement. The so-called lively road does not grow grass, and it seems that no one has walked on it for a long time. Fortunately, I asked the uncle who stayed at the house last night to understand that there is only this stone road to the bridge, and there is no need to fork, just follow the stone road. The two of them kept walking, it was almost noon, and the bridge should be arrived after calculating the distance. Sure enough, I turned another mountain pass and saw a bridge in the distance, which was exactly the same as what was said on the Internet. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and finally arrived, this trip was really enough, and it was also a difficult task to go back. Now that we've arrived, let's go over and have a look. Just as he was about to move forward, Xiao Lao Dao suddenly beckoned Lin Xiaoqiang to stop.

"Don't move!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoqiang was suddenly nervous.

"The ancient money moved just now, and there was something strange in front of it."

"Are you sure? Look again! ”

Xiao Lao Dao took out the ancient money and spread it in the palm of his hand, and handed it over for Lin Xiaoqiang to see. Lin Xiaoqiang stared at it for a long time, didn't move?

"You think he'll be able to jump? This is the spirit in it, you see, moving again. ”

"I'm a! I don't think that's the case! Okay, okay, I'm mortal, I can't see it, right? What do you mean by this money? Ghost ahead? Got youkai? At risk? ”

"I don't know if it's a ghost, a monster, or a monster. Anyway, there's something strange ahead. ”

"It's a plain story. I'm asking you, are we still over? ”

Judging from its reaction, it was just a reminder to me, not a warning. It doesn't seem like a great thing. It doesn't hurt to walk over. But let's be careful and make some preparations. ”

Xiao Lao Dao reached out and took off his backpack, put it on the ground and took things out. first took out two talismans, asked Lin Xiaoqiang to open his coat, one on his chest and the other on his back, saying that this is a talisman that can save his life at a critical moment. took out another talisman, and actually tied it to the thread, tying the thread at the other end to Lin Xiaoqiang's hair. Said that this is a puppet talisman, in case there is a situation to withdraw, pull the line, throw the talisman far behind him, this talisman can emit a strong breath, so that the demons and monsters mistakenly think that this is a person, and the person will take the opportunity to run away. Lin Xiaoqiang doesn't understand these Turre's spirits, anyway, the matter has come to this point, and only what he says is what, just let him toss.

Xiao Lao Dao took another talisman and pasted it on his chest, and took out a dagger-like thing less than a foot from his bag, which didn't look like metal, but like wood, and there was pulp on it, which looked like an old object. Xiao Lao Dao said that this is a peach wood sword given by the master, an authentic magic weapon of Xuanmen. Stick your sword at your waist. Then hold seven or eight talismans in your left hand and carefully clamp them between your fingers. In his right hand, he took out two more talismans and waved his hand, used the technique of looking at qi, took out the sword and held it in his hand, and whispered to Lin Xiaoqiang, Follow me and go.

The two of them walked out dozens of steps one after the other, and when they were closer, Xiao Lao Dao could see this breath clearly.

"Well, it's a demonic aura."

"Damn, demonic! Are there really youkai? Let's withdraw. ”

"Withdraw what? This is just a little monster who has just practiced a little, and I don't pay attention to it yet. ”

"Don't brag, according to what you said, this is really a monster! If you can't clean it up, there's no one here to help! Let's go! ”

"Rest assured. It's a small matter, I looked at it carefully, and I still have to grab it. It's not startled yet, we go back and scare it away, it's not beautiful. ”

Striding back to the place where the bag was placed, Xiao Lao Dao said that he would first set up a formation to trap it. This little old man said that he was going to catch demons on the spot, and Lin Xiaoqiang was still a little nervous. Xiao Lao Dao was not in a hurry, first looked around, the surroundings were quiet, except for a few occasional bird calls, it was indeed no one coming. If there is no idler, you can rest assured. Xiao Lao Dao took out a few nail-like things, all of which were glued with charms, and then took out a roll of red thread. First remove all the talismans on Lin Xiaoqiang's body, hand the nails and threads to Lin Xiaoqiang, and ask Lin Xiaoqiang to take them, so and so on, and so on.

"Why don't you go? That's a youkai! ”

"I have the Dharma Qi in me now, and I'm afraid I'll scare it away. You're mortal, and you can't be shocked by it. Rest assured, after so many years, it is nothing more than harming a few dogs, and there is no legend of harming people, right? This monster's cultivation is still shallow, and it can't hurt people. Rest assured, after you cross the bridge, do as I say, and come back when you're done. ”

"Then I'll go. I'm really going! I said, "Why don't you give me one?" ”

"No, no. I ran away with fear. You can rest assured that the past is bold! ”

It's easy to arouse people's curiosity when there are strange things somewhere, but I really tell you that there is a monster here, although I have repeatedly said that this monster does not hurt people, but I still beat a drum in my heart when I want to go to the bridge. Li Bing didn't dare to say anything. Lin Xiaoqiang limped and walked over tremblingly. This bridge has not been walked on for a long time, and weeds have grown on the bridge. Although there is no railing, the thick stone slab is usually reassuring to look at, but now I always think that there are monsters, and I can't be frightened, so I scare my feet soft. Wobbly walked over, nailed the nail to the ground, tied the line again, back and forth a few times, according to the old way, the four nails were nailed, and the line was also tightened, and it was a square to enclose a slightly larger area than the bridge with a line. Tie the thread and cut the remaining thread, Lin Xiaoqiang hurriedly walked back. When Xiao Lao Dao saw that Lin Xiaoqiang had finished and walked back, he asked him to stand here and watch from afar.

Xiao Ruotong shook his spirits, held a talisman in his left hand, picked up the sword in his right hand, and rushed to the bridge in a few arrow steps. Stand still in the middle of the bridge, raise your left hand and wave it first, and then two talismans will be ignited, and when you throw it, the talisman will fall under the bridge while burning. At this moment, the talismans on the nails on all sides suddenly became windless and automatic, and all the "rubbing" stood up straight, as if the hair had passed the static electricity and all stood up.

The two burning talismans have not yet fallen to the surface of the water, and there was a sudden big splash on the water surface. This splash passed, and then a waterline rose on the surface of the water, like the back of a big fish, and the water was dripping, and it rushed to the upper reaches of the stream. At once, it jumped to the position surrounded by the red line, as if it hit the wall directly, stopped suddenly, and then shook violently a few times, and the water splashed everywhere, as if it was trembling sharply by the electric current. The waterline saw that this road was impassable, and turned around and ran back. Running past or hitting a wall. The waterline swam around at great speed, and all four sides were bumped over, but they still couldn't get out, so they had to turn around in this red line circle, and the disturbed water surface was rattling, and the red line in the air seemed to be under a strong impact, and it trembled non-stop. At this time, the little old road burned another talisman, as soon as the talisman fell to the surface of the water, he saw that a whirlpool suddenly rose in the water, at first it was only the size of a finger, the whirlpool turned more and more sharply and bigger, and finally there was the size of a small basin, and the water flow around was sucked into the whirlpool, and as the water flowed to the whirlpool, the waterline was pulled into it despite its struggle. As soon as he saw that the waterline had entered the whirlpool, the little old road was another rune that burned down, and a black shadow jumped out of the whirlpool with a "rub", and went straight to the little old road, the little old man was not in a hurry, the left hand was exhausted, and the hand was flattened up, the palm was facing the black shadow, and he hurriedly recited a few words of incantation in his mouth, and the black shadow seemed to have suddenly been hit by a stick on the head, and it fell directly into the water with a bang. Lin Xiaoqiang couldn't see it from a distance, the little old man could see it clearly, it turned out that this was a mouse more than a foot long, the whole body was black, counting the tail, it had to be half a meter long.

As soon as Xiao Lao Dao saw the rat fall to the surface of the water and floated motionless on the water, he knew that this was just a fool, so he hurriedly took out a few more talismans, incinerated them one after another, and landed around the mouse. Finally, there is one left in his hand, wrap and wipe the sword in his right hand, hold the talisman in his left hand, insert the sword in his right hand back into his waist, free his hand to take out a small gourd from his arms, bite the plug with his teeth, hold the gourd high in his right hand, face the mouse, wave forward with his left hand, the talisman will burn into a small fireball, go straight to the mouse, hit the mouse, take off as if it exploded, and then a golden light is like nothing, as if there is a suction suck, fluttering, and being loaded into the gourd.

As soon as he saw that the golden light was all in the gourd, Xiao Lao Dao hurriedly plugged the stopper, took out a few more talismans, sealed the mouth of the gourd, and wrapped a few pieces on the gourd, and then walked to the nail, even ripped off the red line of the talisman on the nail, and began to circle around the gourd, walking around and around, until the red line and talisman on the four nails were wrapped around the gourd, and a few knots were tied to entangle the red thread to death. He chanted it for a while, and finally turned into a talisman. This is done, and he waved Lin Xiaoqiang over.

Lin Xiaoqiang stood far away and couldn't see it really. Seeing the little old man beckoning, he knew that it was over, and hurriedly rushed over. The little old man pointed at it, and Lin Xiaoqiang looked down, oh, what a big mouse!

"This is the demon?"

"Yes, a rat demon, it hasn't taken off its original form yet."

"Does that mean you've killed it?"

"Eh, how can you kill indiscriminately. But it's just a matter of subduing it. ”

"Acceptance? Isn't that motionless already dead? ”

"It has taken off its skin for him, but this demon spirit has been subdued in this gourd, and it must no longer disturb this ground."

"That's it? What did you do, I think you burned a few talismans and danced around, and it didn't take long? ”

"Third Senior Brother, you don't know, the red line I asked you to pull is the Four Elephants Formation of the Day After Tomorrow, this formation is extremely powerful, and it can trap this monster in the formation. When it can't escape, then I urge the demon charm to force it to show its form, and then use the Five Thunder Method to stun it. Finally, collect his soul in this gourd. ”

"It's really fast. You've got two hits. Is this the soul of a youkai? What does it look like? Can you take a look? ”

"The third senior brother is messing around. This gourd has already trapped the monster inside with a formation, where can you see it? ”

"Okay, okay, don't chew the words, talk about people! You said that this monster was taken by you, so you just took it away? Don't get killed? ”

"Put it in the gourd first, and when the second gentleman comes back or I go back to the mountain, I will tell the master to dispose of it."

"Just kill it, it's over! Where is it so troublesome! I said, can't it be that you don't have the ability to die? ”

"This, this, this is nothing more than a two-way thing to kill it! I won't be anywhere! However, it did not do great evil, nor did it go about wandering. Even if you kill a few dogs, you don't hurt people after all. Then you can't just kill! My master and Mr. II both said that if everything in this heaven and earth can be cultivated by creation, it is all due to organic fate. It is not easy to create, and the opportunity is rare, so you must not kill for no reason. ”

"Cut! Sooner or later, it will be a problem not to die. Lin Xiaoqiang's experience in the rivers and lakes is to eliminate the evil and cut the grass and eradicate the roots: "Hey, by the way, what is the way to deal with this demon if it is caught?" For example, what do you say the second gentleman or your master will do when they see this monster? ”

"I don't know. I haven't seen it either. Xiao Lao Dao's face was suddenly full of joy: "Let me tell you, this is my first time catching demons, and I haven't had the chance to see them before." If I go back to the mountain and offer this gourd to the master, then I can stop the mouths of my senior brothers! ”

"Why are you gagging them?"

"Hey, I'm not the youngest, I didn't get started as early as them, I didn't learn as much as them, and I usually always rely on my age to teach me with a straight face, this is not right, this is not right, this is not good. Hmph, I'm. Now I'm really catching a monster, see what else they have to say, hahahaha. ”

It turns out that this little old road is also angry in Qingcheng Mountain. Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing couldn't help but laugh secretly. Although this Ruotong has some ability, but after all, he is young, and he is really a child's heart, and he still wants to slap people in the face.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Ruotong. You can catch demons alone, it seems that your Taoism is a small success, right? ”

"I can't talk about what I can't do, and I can't talk about it. Anyway, I caught one, so I can gag them properly. Aren't you quite good at blowing? Don't you know everything? I didn't see you really catch a demon and come back for me to see? Hahaha. ”

This is really happy and crazy, Lin Xiaoqiang doesn't know what to say. The little old man continued: "When I show the master, I beg him to pass on my method of practicing demons, and after I learn it, I will train this little demon to become a pet, and when the time comes, I will take it with me wherever I go, and I will kill them with greed and anger." Haha, I think about what their faces will become, haha, it's fun to think about! ”

"Demon refining? Can this demon still practice? ”

"Absolutely. But I've only heard. The specific way to practice it is still to be taught by the master. It's a pity that it's a mouse, and it's not majestic when it's practiced. If only the lion and the tiger had been. But it's better than nothing, little mouse, it's pretty cute! ”

Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing were straightforward, and as soon as they caught a mouse, their morale was high, and they didn't know that they were too much. Or a lion and a tiger? The real lion and tiger have become demons, so why don't you jump into the sky with your ancient money and tell you to hide far away? But the first time I heard that there is really a magic of refining demons, my heart said that this spell is not bad, and we will learn it if we have the chance. Turning his head and seeing where Xiao Lao Dao was still alone, he was really angry and funny.

"Okay, okay, don't be beautiful anywhere! Anyway, I don't understand, whatever you say is what it is. I saw you kill a big mouse. ”

The two argued for a while, and Xiao Lao Dao put away the four nails on the ground again, and carefully packed the gourd into his backpack. After cleaning up, I took out dry food and drank water and ate a little. Sit by the bridge and take a break. The corpse of the rat has been carried away by the running water, and I don't know where it will stop and become food for the insects and ants. The sun was just right at noon, and the people who shone were slightly tired and yawned. The valley is quiet, the breeze is light, the birdsong is crisp from near and far, and the stream under the bridge is clear.

Although this trip was hard, it was still quite rewarding. Xiao Lao Dao finally realized his dream of catching demons, and now he can show off, and Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing have also reconfirmed the existence of demons and spells. Although Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing saw the little old road on the bridge, a big mouse died in the water.

Spells do exist, and that's the most important thing. The little old Taoist will know, then Uncle Yang will only know more than the little old Tao. Hey, this Uncle Yang is really an uncle, he doesn't leave any seams, I really don't know how to let him teach himself. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoqiang and Li Bing were depressed.

Pack up, rest enough, and hurry back. Although it is mostly downhill to go back, this is a soft foot pole on the mountain, and it is not easier to go back than the way you came. Fortunately, Xiao Lao Dao was extremely excited, and dragged Lin Xiaoqiang all the way with a belt, but he arrived at the old man's house a little earlier than the original time. As soon as I said hello, the old man and the old lady were still cooking. Today I said that I would eat here, and it would be more abundant than yesterday. Needless to say, the old bacon is a large plate, egg soup, and freshly steamed retort rice. On this day, the tiredness of going up and down the mountain is not light, and as soon as I smell the aroma of rice, my stomach growls uncontrollably. Lin Xiaoqiang shook off his cheeks and ate a round belly. After dinner, I showed the old man the photos taken along the way. Hot water scalded my feet, rested early, and went out the next day to give a lot of money. The old man said too much, don't don't, Lin Xiaoqiang doesn't care so much, just stuff it into the old man's arms and run.

It is also a walk and a car, and you don't have to go into detail. Seeing that this is in front of the Baozhen Temple.

"By the way, Senior Brother Ruotong, you said that we are going to catch demons, do you want to tell Uncle Yang?"

"Oh, don't you say I didn't think of it yet. Do you mean to say it or not? ”

"I'm not sure I'm paying attention to that. Let's talk about it, what if Uncle Yang reprimands us with a black face? What if you confiscate your little goblin? Don't talk about it, this Uncle Yang must be better than you, wouldn't it be more embarrassing if we were seen through when we entered the door? ”

"That can't let him confiscate my little goblin! Well, let's not talk about it first, and Uncle Yang doesn't necessarily know that we caught a demon and went back. ”

"What if he knew?"

"In case he knows, ask and talk. Anyway, I can't let him take my little demon away. That's it, it's up to me! ”

"That's good. It's none of my business if I'm scolded and punished. It's all you staring at. ”

"Well, it's all mine!"

Returning to the view, there is nothing unusual. Uncle Yang didn't ask much. At night, Lin Xiaoqiang held his mobile phone and told Uncle Yang about rafting and climbing, while secretly observing Uncle Yang's expression, Uncle Yang listened with relish and didn't ask anything. Now it's kind of putting most of my heart in my stomach. Back in the room, Xiao Lao Dao was still afraid of being discovered, so he wrapped the little gourd in old clothes and hid it deep in the corner of the bed.
