Chapter 189: Variables in the Dark
Everyone didn't mean to say hello, and no one spoke for the time being, because everyone saw that Tang Jiadao was carried out and put on the ground in front of the steps. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 I don't know if it was burned by fire or smoke, and if he didn't say anything, everyone didn't know what the situation was.
The three children cried and came around, but Tang Jiadao's body was so smelly that they didn't pounce on them, and stood aside and watched their father crying. Tang Jiadao, who was lying on the ground, watched everyone gather around and look at him, and he couldn't help himself anymore and suddenly cried uncontrollably. Everyone looked at Tang Jiadao with each other, looking at his pitiful and pathetic demeanor and appearance, although they didn't know what injuries the fire left on him, everyone was a little secretly sad in their hearts.
What was surprising was that the Ninth Master, who had just rushed over, did not come over immediately, but stood in the position where Tang Batian was facing him, his fingers still calculating. In the eyes of others, it was a little unpredictable, and even the people next to him held their breath and looked closely at his increasingly serious face. He looked around the Tang family's Taoist house solemnly, but his last gaze fell on the spiritual shed of the guest Qiong Cuihua.
It was as if he was staring there, as if he had seen through something. Even if these ordinary people couldn't see anything, he was still a little stared. Originally, his fingers moved very quickly on the knuckles, but at this time, he actually slowed down, and it often took three or four seconds before he made a movement. Although everyone doesn't know much about it, after all, they have seen it more or less in ordinary times, and they know that the Ninth Master is calculating, so no one bothered him.
Over there, Tang Jiadao cried for a while, and then moaned softly, obviously more or less injured by the fire in the attic, as for the extent of the injury, everyone still can't know.
Looking at the Ninth Master's increasingly darkened face, Tang Batian, who was originally a little relieved on the side, couldn't help but lift his heart again at this moment. Although he is not very interested in this Ninth Master, it is also because he has Luo Ran by his side. Even after the incident in Wanfuting last time, it is said that the Ninth Master was also hit hard. Because of this, he was able to invite Luo Ran to come out of the mountain and show his hand, and those people in the township government now know Luo Ran's existence.
Because of the contrast between the Ninth Master and Luo Ran, the villagers naturally degraded the Ninth Master to nothing. But obviously, he had also heard Luo Ran comment on this person, and Luo Ran's fair judgment made Tang Batian naturally know more about the Ninth Master. After all, although everyone has nothing to do with each other, the Ninth Master is also famous in the surrounding countryside after all. Luo Ran's statement at the time was that although the Ninth Master was not a powerful master, at least he was also a master who had learned how to do it.
You must know that in the Xiangchu area, people who can be called masters will know at least a few things.
One is to collect the soul excessively, the second is to draw talismans to drive away evil spirits, and the third is to observe the wind and identify it!
Soul collection is the basis of Shigong's work, and many monks and Taoists will do this. Drawing talismans to exorcise evil spirits is a means of doing things, and only the Taoist Sanqing school is a specialty. However, Xiangchu has been fused since ancient times, and many methods have been gradually integrated into the skills by everyone here, so many people who have the means will also have these mysterious spells and have this ability after becoming the master of this special profession.
And there are many people who don't know much about this style recognition.
In fact, it is easy to say, this wind recognition is actually two skills. That is the basic instinct that a master has learned after being inherited by his master. When you encounter something that needs to be solved, use a pair of eyes and a pair of ears to observe and perceive. This kind of observation and perception is the so-called wind discrimination. The highest level of this is naturally not to be discerned by eyes and ears, but to be perceived by spiritual consciousness alone.
Among them, the observation of wind refers to observation and touch, which can observe the surrounding situation with one pair of eyes, and use one's five senses and body to contact the difference in the surrounding environment. As for this kind of discernment, it is a more advanced contact, arguing about the distinction between things and the categories of them, using one's eyes, ears, mouth, nose and body to discern what these are! Knowledge is the final judgment, which is basically a definitive conclusion, and the right medicine is used to deal with it.
Tang Batian didn't know much about this, but after all, he often heard Luo Ran say some things, so he naturally knew more than ordinary people. Usually whether you believe in ghosts or gods or not, at least you know some ways to cast them.
At this time, seeing the Ninth Master who was originally full of confidence, it was obvious that the whole person was no longer in the right situation. At this time, although he didn't pull down his face in front of people, looking at that demeanor, he looked preoccupied and cautious, and he obviously didn't pretend. Not to mention that Tang Batian has read countless people, these moments will be understood. Even with Tang Batian's own name, he also had enough self-confidence to know that the Ninth Master would not act cowardly in front of him.
"Mr. Nine, is there any trouble that is very tricky?" Tang Batian tentatively spoke up on the side, if it was an ordinary villager who asked this, it would naturally add a bit of mystery, and it would also make the Ninth Master a little more proud. But it was a famous cow master in ten miles and eight towns, and the people on the side didn't dare to interject when they heard it.
"Northwest! Trouble in the northwest! The Ninth Master did not answer Tang Batian's words, but suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed, and his hands actually trembled slightly. Obviously, he seemed to be frightened by something, and as a master, it was really surprising and worried that such an expression appeared. Seeing him raise his head suddenly, a pair of sharp eyes stared blankly behind him, which was the northwest position of the Carrying Forward Hall.
Many people in the village committee saw that the fire was extinguished and Tangjiadao was also erected, so they gathered to Tang Batian and Tang Ruhai. Hearing the words of the Ninth Master, although everyone was surprised, although it did not snow again at this time, the sky around them was gloomy, but they did not see anything unusual at all.
Although it gets dark early in winter, it is not yet dark at this time of year.
Although the house is not much higher than the mansion of the Hongyangtang, it is located in the position of the slope of the back hill, so standing in front of this step, you can still see the distance through the tall house of the Hongyangtang. You can even see the towering buildings of Gao Yantang at the foot of the opposite mountain.
Everyone didn't see the slightest abnormality over there, although there seemed to be a hint of cooking smoke, but it was no different from usual.
Many villagers from the Carry Forward Hall came to see the excitement and help put out the fire and save people, and at this time it stabilized, and many people gathered around Tang Jiadao, and they comforted and asked. Everyone doesn't know if Tang Jiadao was burned by the fire, and the villagers don't look down and see each other, although Tang Jiadao usually doesn't like to speak, after all, they are neighbors who live together, and everyone has some relatives in their hearts.
But seeing that his hair was almost burning, and his body was covered with the smell of stinky urine, although seeing that his face was black and red, and I didn't know if he was injured, everyone didn't dare to touch him for a while.
Although Tang Batian glanced over here, he saw that Tang Jinqi was actually standing beside Tang Zhuhai and did not move, although he was a little surprised in his heart, but when he saw him staring at the Ninth Master tightly, he was even more surprised when he thought that he began to call people to find the Ninth Master. Many people don't know about his relationship with Tang Jinqi, and he has never mentioned these things to anyone, but he knows the power of this old man.
When he was young, Tang Qiqi was at least in the top three, if not the most powerful figure in the promotion hall. Because this old man was good at Thirty-six Road South Boxing back then, more than ten young adults couldn't get close at all. Although I don't know why he has been silent later, Tang Batian once pestered him to teach himself some punches and kicks when he was young.
Although Tang Zhuqi taught some routines, Tang Batian was also happy to do it back then. Later, for some reason, Tang Zhiqi drew a clear line with himself, and he never showed his skills in front of others, but Tang Batian knew that Tang Qiqi now had no problem dealing with one or two people. However, what Tang Batian is most curious about is that Tang has very good skills, but it seems that none of his sons have gotten it.
Thinking of Tang Qiqi's past, although Tang Batian felt a little emotional, but after so many years, Tang Zhuqi had already become an old man who was about to die, and he had reached the age when he was about to know the destiny of heaven, and Tang Batian had no interest in understanding this. However, when he saw Tang Qiqi's demeanor at this time, he instantly understood that none of these old people around him were fuel-efficient lamps, but after the big movement, they didn't dare to show it.
Tang Batian didn't have the heart to care about Tang Jiadao at this time, as long as he came down, he didn't have to worry about it, seeing Tang Qiqi's demeanor, he moved slightly in his heart and approached the Ninth Master, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Nine, what's wrong over there?" “
"Great evil, great omen!" The Ninth Master sighed, and suddenly saw Tang Zurao in front of him looking at him in a daze, and his heart was a little inexplicable. But looking at this young man, he seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while, so he had to nod slightly at Tang Zurao in embarrassment.
Tang Batian coughed lightly, seeing that Tang Zurao, who had always been kind, had a strange face, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say, "There's nothing wrong here, Zurao, do you want to go back and take a look?" “
Only then did the people on the side remember that this Tang Zurao lived in Gao Yantang, and this Gao Yantang ancestral house was still the house of his ancestors. The Ninth Master said to his face that there was a big murderer, presumably Tang Zurao was naturally uncomfortable when he heard it. Ren is Tang Zu has a good temper, and being said these words is like being cursed for nothing. Everyone was a little strange in their hearts, but it was difficult to persuade him.
Just when Tang Batian spoke up, everyone was secretly relieved in their hearts, and suddenly they didn't know who exclaimed: "It's a fire, it's a fire, Gao Yantang is on fire!" “
Everyone looked, and sure enough, they saw a thick smoke rising from Gao Yantang, mixed with a burst of firelight, which was particularly dazzling in this gloomy sky.
Tang Zurao was stunned for a moment, as if he had been frozen, as if he had thought of something, and the muscles on his face actually shook quickly.
