Chapter 384: Hidden Cat Demon
"Huzi hasn't come back yet?" Mr. Peng asked Zhao Yueyue, who was standing at the door, while putting the double jiao under the long robe.
Zhao Yueyue bit her lip and shook her head gently: "He just went out when he arrived at the third watch, and he hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid I'm ......" Zhao Yueyue didn't finish her words, but the meaning of the words was already very clear. The words fell, and there were already tears in the corners of her eyes.
"You have to trust him." Mr. Peng laughed, stepped forward and patted Zhao Yueyue's shoulder twice, "I know that my son has some ability, he doesn't look like a short-lived person." After Lin Tang and I go out, I will have to bother you and Shankun to take care of the house, if anyone asks to come to see something, just block it first, or we will come back soon. ”
"That little tiger, is there really nothing going on?" Zhao Yueyue asked again.
Mr. Peng took out three paper puppets and handed them to Zhao Yueyue. On the back of these three paper puppets, "Peng Hu", "Peng Xiuzhen", and "Li Lintang" are written respectively. Mr. Peng smiled and said, "Isn't this puppet still good for you?" This shows that Huzi is fine. He didn't come back until dawn, most likely before us, to the location of the circle, so we should hurry up. ”
Zhao Yueyue looked at the three puppets, felt a little relieved, nodded, took out the gourd from her arms, and handed it to Mr. Peng. Mr. Peng was about to say something, but he heard a knock on the door. It was just dawn and it was raining, so it was supposed that no one should have come. Li Lintang and Zhao Shankun had just incense on the tablets of Sanqing and the patriarch, and it was in the front yard that Zhao Shankun went to open the door. saw the people outside the door, but they were stunned.
Li Lintang frowned and asked, "Xiao Guogong, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
It turned out that it was no one else outside the door, it was Nalan Lang who was dressed as a subordinate and his long-term follower Xiaoyue. Nalan Lang also saw Li Lintang's frowning brows, and said with a smile: "Master Tie, is it your way of hospitality to stop people from the door?" ”
Li Lintang also knew that he couldn't let Nalan Lang outside, so he beckoned, asked Zhao Shankun to give up a position, and invited two people into the courtyard, and Zhao Shankun turned around and bolted the door again.
At this time, Mr. Peng and Zhao Yueyue rushed over from the backyard and saw Nalan Lang, Mr. Peng was also stunned, and before he could speak, Nalan Lang hurriedly spoke first: "I've seen Mr. Peng." Mr. Peng, just call me Brother Lang. ”
After thinking for a while, Mr. Peng understood what Nalan Lang meant, so he said, "Okay, then call Brother Lang, it's raining, don't talk outside with an umbrella, go to my place to rest." But do you want me to help you call Fang Xuebin and them? ”
Nalan Lang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to let Mr. Peng call them, but you have to trouble Mr. Peng to lead the way and take me to them." I have come to visit the wounded. ”
Fighting a war is not only about armaments and logistics, but also about the people's morale. When the military heart is available, the cauldron is broken, and the boat is sunk, "Xiang Yu is aware of the leading troops to cross the river, all of them are sunk, the cauldron is broken, the house is burned, and the food is held for three days, so as to show that the soldiers will die, and none of them will return the heart", this is to win more with less and more with the weak to defeat the strong. When the military heart is not available, embattled, a generation of overlords love Ji is in his arms, and Wujiang kills himself, which is the heart of others, and he is defeated without a fight.
The regiment is now having a very hard time. On the one hand, the supply of food, medicine, guns and ammunition was insufficient, and on the other side, the Japanese united with the army of the imperial court and strangled the regiment in many ways. It is also necessary to say that Changtu Province is not the front line, and the regiments in Yingkou, Lushun, Dalian, Yanbian and other places have faced the forces of the Qing, Japanese, and Russian, and their lives are even more difficult.
Nalan Lang came to visit the seriously wounded, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, so that people would not have the intention of retreating. The vast majority of these seriously wounded will never be able to go to war again. Some are missing arms and legs, so they are disabled, and some are too seriously injured and hurt their internal organs, and they can't lift their strength in this life and can't do heavy work.
However, those who are alive among them will eventually leave the Sun Temple, and they will pass on what they have seen and heard here to all parts of the Changtu Mansion. They would tell their comrades-in-arms that when they were seriously wounded, the head of the Changtu Prefecture Regiment had personally changed their dressing and bandaged, and even washed their feet and fed them.
The so-called soldier is the death of a confidant, and those rough people at the bottom of the regiment who have not read much may not be able to say such a thing, but they will definitely understand such a truth. In their simple thinking, those in charge of the regiment should be regarded as officials, but they have not seen any officials wash their feet and feed ordinary people.
Most of them were meeting the leaders of the Changtu Prefecture for the first time, and if it weren't for Fang Xuebin's testimony, they might not have been able to believe that this young man was the one who gave orders and arranged plans. It's just that Fang Xuebin only called him Brother Lang, neither called him by his full name, nor did he call him a prince of Xiaoguo, nor did he mention his surname.
After all, the regiment is a rebel organization derived from the revolutionary party, and whose life is the revolutionary party? It is the lives of these Manchu nobles that are revolutionary, and Nalan Lang's identity is too sensitive to say more.
It stands to reason that when Nalan Lang came to the Sun Hill Temple, Mr. Peng should also stay here. He is the master of this place, and there is no reason to put Nalan Lang aside. But now that things are going wrong, we can't act on common sense. Although the paper puppet is in hand, ensuring that Huzi's life is worry-free, after all, he does not know his whereabouts, and it is unknown what danger there is. According to Mr. Peng's guess, the biggest possibility is that Huzi went to the place mentioned in the letter before them.
The danger is self-evident, and Mr. Peng doesn't want to spend more time with Nalan Lang, anyway, Zhao Yueyue and Zhao Shankun are at home. After explaining, Mr. Peng summoned Jiao En in the gourd, cast a spell to make it lead the way, and he and Li Lintang walked into the rain curtain with their robes.
The two brothers left but didn't care, but they didn't know that in Mr. Peng's room, a book on the bookshelf rolled down. Obviously there was no one around, but the pages turned on their own, and after a while, a monster that looked like a man three points and a cat seven points like a cat came out of the gap in the pages with difficulty.
What is this book? Where did this book come from? This has to be said in the future. said that night, Huzi and Zhao Shankun intended to capture Jiao En for questioning, but Huzi stayed in Chunfeng Yuan and did not wait for anyone, Zhao Shankun waited for Jiao En to go out and sneaked into Jiao En's house. This Jiao Endou couldn't recognize a basket of characters, but the two found this runic seal catalogue on the beam of Jiao En's house.
Later, because the thoughts of the ghost family were put on Jiao En himself, this somewhat strange talisman catalogue was put aside, and now the monster is this book.
There is a saying in the previous book, saying that Jiao En made money by eating black rice, so he bought the house, and on the first night he moved in, in the middle of the night, the "immortal master" appeared next to his bedside and congratulated him on his "housewarming". He Xi can't always come and go empty-handed, this rune seal catalogue made a pressing thing for Jiao En, which can be regarded as a "congratulatory gift" from the "immortal master".
Speaking of this monster, he hunched his body, landed on all fours, circled the room twice, shook his body, and turned out to be hiding. Then I could see the window move for a moment, and then it was back to normal.
Mr. Peng has arranged formations all over the Sun Hill Temple, but these formations only have the function of warning, and have no ability to kill, and they are not external and internal, and all the means that can resist the incoming enemy need to be presided over. After all, this is where I live, and there are people coming and going, so I can't move, and I have to be careful everywhere I go.
This gave the cat demon a chance. The cat demon who hid his body wandered in the Sun Hill Temple, as if he had entered a no-man's land. I walked around the front and back yards, and looked at everything carefully. Nalan Lang was face to face with this cat demon, but he was unconscious.
Zhao Shankun, who was watching at the door, saw that something was wrong. Although he is a disciple of the martial arts, his practice is not purely foreign kung fu, and it is by no means a decoration to engrave his body and possess the spirit. He couldn't look at the ordinary hidden fairy monster carefully like Huzi, but he could indeed feel it, and another filthy aura slipped in through the window.
At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, this was in the Sun Mountain Temple, Zhao Yueyue was a younger brother, and it was normal for the immortals in the hall to inspect the surroundings. As for this breath that made him feel uncomfortable, in Zhao Shankun's guess, Xu was an immortal family like a breeze and smoke soul.
But if it is really said that it is the immortal family on Zhao Yueyue's Hall, they should all know that this door is all capable, and they will be very particular about passing through the house and transferring the house, and they will never stay in the room for more. But this filthy aura lingered around Nalan Lang for a long time, and it also circled around Nalan Lang from time to time, which made Zhao Shankun feel that something was wrong.
didn't think much about it, Zhao Shankun casually picked up the latch of the door, took two steps up, handed it forward, and stopped in front of Nalan Lang, which frightened Nalan Lang, Xiao Yue, Fang Xuebin and the wounded soldiers of the regiment. Nalan Lang opened his mouth to speak, but he heard Zhao Shankun shouting loudly: "Where did the demon come from, dare to come here to spread wild, don't you want to die?" Don't show up soon! ”
If this had been put in the past, Nalan Lang would have said that Zhao Shankun was pretending to be a ghost and wanted to coax some silver out of his hands. But now it's different, he is a person who has seen demons and monsters with his own eyes, and he also knows that this door has real skills, seeing Zhao Shankun say this, he hurriedly took a few steps back and asked, "What is it?" ”
Zhao Shankun doesn't know, but he can't say he doesn't know, how embarrassing is that? He just waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”
The cat demon was also taken aback by Zhao Shankun, and walked around Zhao Shankun twice in disbelief. Although Zhao Shankun really couldn't see it, he could also detect it, and his eyes followed the cat demon. Seeing that his deeds were indeed revealed, the cat demon didn't say a word, but jumped out of the window.
Zhao Shankun didn't have such a good mind to go out of the door, followed behind the cat demon, broke out of the window, threw the latch in his hand as a hidden weapon, and shouted: "Bah! Goblin Hugh Away! ”
