Chapter 18
In the early morning, the dead city begins to be noisy, the horns of passing vehicles, the shouting through the streets and alleys, and the complaints of office workers, although chaotic, but it is a true portrayal of urban life!
In the paper shop, I didn't close my eyes all night, my eyes were blood-red, and I leaned listlessly against the wall, watching the wall clock turn the minute hand, tick-tock, tick-tock, every sound struck heavily in my heart.
Because I know that a minute after the passage of time is a sign that death is approaching me for another minute!
Tomorrow is my birth day, and Huang Qingling should also be the time to take my life, and Dong Dabao and I were sure that we could win this turnaround battle, but at the most critical time, the rootless Taoist disappeared!
This is undoubtedly the heaviest blow to me, because the rootless Taoist is my last trump card, but now, his paper shop is blocked by the cordon, leaving a pool of blood on the ground, and the person has disappeared without a trace, we don't know what happened to him at all, without him, in the face of Huang Qingling and the baby ghost, Dong Dabao and I are lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and we have no power to fight back.
What's more, there is Lan Huanxi, she was captured by the demon monk because of me, and if I don't rescue her, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!
Bang Dang!
Just as I closed my eyes and pondered what to do next, a loud bang came from the backyard of the paper bunk.
Fluttering!
Dong Dabao, who was asleep, suddenly turned over and shouted vigilantly: ", someone!" ”
I also got up from the ground, puzzled, and hurriedly crept to the backyard door with Dong Dabao, and saw a thin young man, wearing a student uniform, standing up by a broken flower pot, holding a medium-sized foam box in his hand.
Thief?
I immediately thought of a thief, but what I wondered was that in broad daylight, the thief dared to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard, and he was bold, right? Could it be that he knew that the Rootless Daoist had disappeared, so he dared to come in and steal?
Dong Dabao rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out to grab this student, I hurriedly grabbed him and whispered, "Don't panic first, see what he wants to do." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the student scolding, and then walked towards the back room with a foam box, we turned over and hid at the base of the wall, and watched the thief enter the back room, that is, in two minutes, the thief sneaked out again, and then carried a stool under the corner of the wall, ready to go out over the wall.
I'm a little confused, a thief can't be so fast, right? Two minutes to go through every corner of the house?
"Dabao, you outflank him left and right, what purpose might this guy have!"
I rolled up my sleeves and said, but there was no response when the words came, and when I looked back, I was stunned, I wiped it, Dong Dabao, who had been following me, disappeared at some point.
I hurriedly looked around, only to see that behind the thief's left side, a sturdy figure was crawling on the ground, slowly moving towards the thief, it was Dong Dabao, and the thief didn't notice it at all, and was still busy preparing to climb over the wall.
I said in my heart that Dong Dabao is an unorganized and undisciplined guy, and if you want to start rounding up, you have to at least tell me, and immediately quietly leaned towards the thief, Dong Dabao saw me coming, and hurriedly made a gesture, which meant that I surrounded me from the right side.
I nodded, picked up a brick from the ground, jumped out and yelled, "Stop! ”
Fluttering!
The thief who was climbing over the wall was startled, his feet slipped and fell directly from the stool, after looking at me, his face was pale and ran back, Dong Dabao hurriedly rushed out to hug the thief, and then turned around, grabbed the thief's clothes with his right hand, buckled the thief's belt with his left hand, and directly fell over the shoulder!
Bang!
The thief was smashed to the ground, screaming in pain, Dong Dabao yelled: "Grass and mud horses, dare to steal under my nose, and I don't want to think that Lao Tzu was the ancestor of the thief back then!" ”
The thief hurriedly shouted: "Don't hit me, I'm not a thief, I was asked to come by the Rootless Dao!" ”
"Dabao, wait a minute!"
Hearing the name of the Rootless Daoist, I hurriedly shouted, then walked over and picked up the thief and asked in a cold voice, "Who did you say sent you?" ”
The thief said with a painful expression: "A Taoist priest named Rootless Daoist, he gave me three hundred yuan and asked me to deliver the box on the morning of the 29th, and told me to go over the wall and send it in." ”
Dong Dabao glared at the beads of his eyes: "Fart, it's only the twenty-eighth today!" ”
The thief said: "We have to make up classes tomorrow, and the school is not on holiday, so I thought about sending it over today." ”
I hurriedly asked, "What else did he say?" ”
The student recalled and said, "By the way, he also said that two people will go to the store to look for him on the 29th, I think it should be the two of you." ”
I was shocked, and suddenly I thought of something, tomorrow the 29th is my birth day, and the Rootless Daoist asked a student to send something, indicating that the Rootless Daoist already knew that I would be in a catastrophe tomorrow, so will the disappearance of the Rootless Daoist have anything to do with Huang Qingling?
"Where did you put your stuff?" Dong Dabao asked viciously.
The student pleaded weakly: "Just put it on the table in the back room, I don't know anything and haven't opened it, you can let me go." ”
Dong Dabao threw away the collar of the student, followed me quickly back to the back room, and saw the foam box on the table from a distance, I was very curious, there must be something important in the box, otherwise the rootless Taoist would not let people send it, immediately opened the lid of the box, only to see a note inside, but under the note was a bunch of things.
Bang Dang!
There was the sound of students climbing over the wall outside, and we couldn't take care of him, so we opened the note and saw a sentence written on it: "The enemy came to the door and the ghost king was born, and they flew separately when the disaster came, if there is a fate, see you in the rivers and lakes!" ”
When I saw this sentence, I was stunned, and I didn't understand what it meant to be a rootless Taoist, and the enemy came to the door?
Could it be that his disappearance has something to do with the enemy's visit? But what does it mean for this ghost king to be born?
Without him, my life with Dong Dabao is almost gone, and we are still talking about a fart goodbye?
"Nanzi, look at it, this is something left to us by the old forced lamp!"
Dong Dabao suddenly pointed to the foam box excitedly and shouted, I hurriedly turned my head, and saw a bunch of things in the box, including chicken blood vines, talisman pendants, peach wood swords, and three talismans painted with cinnabar, and a jet-black thing similar to a broken bowl, as if it was a bowl used to hold ink.
"Tsk!"
Dong Dabao licked his lips with bright eyes: "Let's divide the magic weapon, one for each person, with the magic weapon, I am not afraid of Huang Qingling and baby ghosts." ”
I nodded, these magic weapons are a charcoal in the snow, giving us the most powerful shot in the arm when we were most desperate, it seems that the rootless Dao people have long expected everything, knowing that we are not Huang Qingling's opponents, so they will let people send the magic weapons to us, as for him, it may be that the enemy has run away.
I took a talisman pendant and a chicken blood vine, Dong Dabao took three talisman seals painted with cinnabar, and two peach swords.
Dong Dabao picked up the black ink bowl and looked at it, and said, "I guess this thing was dipped in ink when I was writing a brush with a lamp, and it's useless to keep it, throw it away!" ”
"Wait!"
I stopped him, put the ink bowl down and said, "Although I don't know what it is for, but what the Rootless Daoist gave must be a magic weapon, let's keep it for now, maybe it will be useful in the future!" ”
Dong Dabao didn't care, and frowned: "Who do you say is the enemy of the old man?" He's so awesome himself, is there anyone more powerful than him, otherwise he wouldn't have run away. ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know!" ”
Dong Dabao asked: "Then what should we do now?" ”
I gritted my teeth and said: "Instead of waiting for Huang Qingling to come to the door, let's take it first and catch her off guard, let's go back to the urban-rural junction immediately, and use the magic weapon in our hands to kill Huang Qingling tonight to avenge Xiaowen!" ”
Bang bang!
However, as soon as we finished speaking, suddenly a knock on the door suddenly came out, and Dong Dabao and I suddenly shuddered, not knowing who else would knock on the door of the rootless Taoist at this time.
Bang bang!
The knock on the door was very urgent, Dong Dabao looked at me and said, "No matter, let's run over the wall from the backyard." ”
I nodded, but I had only taken a step when suddenly a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Xiangnan, are you inside?" ”
Airplanes!
Hearing this voice, my brain suddenly exploded, and I suddenly turned my head to stare at the door of the paper shop, and my heart was instantly confused.
"Who is it? How did you know we were here? Dong Dabao asked.
I gritted my teeth and said, "This is Lao Liu's voice!" ”
"Damn, he's here!" Dong Dabao exclaimed: "Then should we open the door?" This guy may have brought Huang Qingling and the baby ghost. ”
I took a deep breath: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, open the door, I want to ask things clearly!" ”
After saying that, I squeezed the peachwood sword in my hand, and then walked cautiously to the door, and after hesitating for a while, I opened the door with a creak, and suddenly a familiar face appeared outside the door.
Hiss!
I gasped, and a mixed emotion welled up in my heart.
The person outside the door is Lao Liu, the old Liu who has hidden countless secrets!
