When Xu Zhixin woke up, the plane had already descended to the ground. He looked out the window as the plane slowly taxied toward the terminal. The passengers on the plane were already impatient, and many took out their mobile phones to contact their relatives and friends. From time to time, it comes out: "I'm about to get off the plane, you guys are waiting at the door!" Such words.

He also took out his mobile phone from his pocket, it was a Nokia N97, he turned it on, and it was already 1:20 noon. There was some expectation in his eyes, and he was a little excited in his heart: "I didn't expect the plane to be very fast, and it wasn't late." ”

Then he dialed Sunan's phone, and a twenty seconds later, an eager voice came from the phone: "Brother Zhixin, have you gotten off the plane?" ”

With a smile on his face, he said unhurriedly into the phone: "Brother Nan, not yet!" The plane is still taxiing, but it's fast, have you returned to Hangzhou? ”

Sunan held the mobile phone in his left hand and drove the car with his right hand, and said with a ashamed expression: "In Hangzhou, I just came back from Shaoxing, I just came out of the Su family compound, and it is estimated that it will take about an hour to arrive at the airport, so I want you to wait for a long time, so I'm sorry!" ”

Xu Zhixin still had a smile on his face, a little strange in his heart, and said in his heart: "When did Brother Nan become so polite?" Then he said into the phone, "It's okay! No hurry! Drive slower! The plane is stopped, I'll get off the plane first, and I'll contact you later! Then he hung up the phone, only to see that the passengers in the cabin stood up, opened the luggage rack on the top of the seat, took their respective luggage and waited to get off the plane.

The passengers were staring ahead, their eyes full of eagerness and impatience. After a while, he got off the plane and walked towards the exit.

Sunan drove the car around the corner and got on the airport expressway, although he didn't sleep all night, but he was very energetic, and the car was still very stable. Looking at the road signs in front of him eagerly, he said anxiously: "I used to think that it was very close to the airport, about an hour, but now I feel that this distance is several times longer than usual, and it is less than half a day!" ”

After a while, his mobile phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was a message from Xu Zhixin: "I'm waiting for you at Exit 2, don't worry, drive slowly!" ”

He put his phone back after reading the text message, his mood eased a lot, and his eyes were calm. Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the parking lot of the airport, parked the car and walked towards Exit 2.

Xu Zhixin took out his mobile phone, dialed Sunan's phone, and after ringing twice, the phone hung up. He said strangely in his heart: "Why didn't Brother Nan answer the phone?" ”

Then I heard a deep voice say, "Brother Zhixin, long time no see!" ”

He raised his head, and Sunan's figure came into his eyes, his face was haggard, the dark circles under his eyes became more and more obvious, he had a big belly, and his face was much rounder than a few years ago. He took a few steps forward and hugged Sunan, with a smile on his face, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and then choked up and said, "Brother Nan is a lot haggard, it's hard for you!" I'll drive the car in a while, you rest, I'm quite familiar with the road anyway! ”

Sunan's heart warmed, his eyes moistened again, and then he said in his heart: "Recently, these tears have been a little disobedient, in this life, I can have friends like Zhixin Brother and Brother Zhen, what more can I ask for?" ”

Then he said to Xu Zhixin: "With friends like you, no matter how difficult it is, I can persevere, Brother Zhixin, come with me, let's go to the Su family compound, there is an old friend waiting for us to go back!" ”

Xu Zhixin looked surprised, his eyes were full of expectation, and he said, "Who?" ”

Sunan turned his head to look at him, and said mysteriously: "You'll know when you arrive!" ”

Xu Zhixin was stunned for a moment, and said with some helplessness on his face: "People who are dozens of years old are still so mysterious!" ”

More than an hour later, the two of them arrived at the gate of the Su family's compound, Xu Zhixin parked the car, followed Sunan into the gate of the compound, and then walked straight to the right.

Zhang Zhen and Su Ming were chatting without a word, a day had passed, and Su Ming's face was still haggard, his eyes were empty, and he had no energy. Suddenly, Sunan walked in, followed by a man. Zhang Xin looked at him with some joy in his heart, and then stood up from the chair, and Su Ming also stood up from the chair.

Zhang Xin was a little excited, and took the lead in opening his mouth: "Brother Zhixin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't seen you for many years, do you still recognize me?" ”

Xu Zhixin looked at him, a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said with surprise in his eyes: "Brother Nan, who is this?" ”

Sunan looked at him, then at Zhang Xin, suddenly laughed, and then said, "This is Brother Zhen!" We went to your house together more than 20 years ago, and you showed us all over the CD! ”

Xu Zhixin looked surprised, inexplicably excited in his heart, stared at Zhang Xin, and said with some apology in his eyes: "Brother sincerely! I'm really sorry, more than 20 years have passed, and you have not heard from you at all, and I have forgotten about you! Look at my memory, it's almost worn out by those books of the Xu family! Don't be surprised! ”

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Brother Zhixin, it's mainly my problem, I've been in Guiyang for more than 20 years, let alone with you, even my family, I can't contact them." ”

Xu Zhixin looked surprised, a little curious in his heart, and asked casually, "Is Brother Zhen in any trouble?" ”

Zhang Zhen nodded, and said with a helpless expression: "It's hard to say, I'll talk to you in detail when the Su family's affairs are resolved." ”

Xu Zhixin said: "Okay! Then he turned his head to look at Su Ming, feeling a little uncomfortable, walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Ming's mourning, everything will pass!" You have to cheer up, the Su family needs you! ”

Su Ming looked at him, his eyes gradually became a little different, and he said to him: "Thank you Brother Zhixin for your concern, I will adjust myself!" ”

Time was passing quietly, and it was eleven o'clock in a blink of an eye, and there were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall on the right side of the Su family's compound. In addition to Sunan, Su Ming, Zhang Zhen and Xu Zhixin, there are six or seven Su family members, who seem to be the same generation as Sunan. Xu Zhixin looked at his watch, then stood up from the chair and said to everyone: "Now start arranging the formation, let's catch turtles in an urn!" ”

He was carrying a box, the box was red, very old, it looked a little old, there were many iron nails nailed to the two ends of the box, and a totem was carved on the baffle on both sides of the box, the left side was like a dragon, the right side was like a phoenix, and there was an old-fashioned lock in the middle. He was followed by a dozen people and walked towards the compound. When the group came to the middle of the compound, he opened the box and took out a lot of yellow charms from it.

Then he divided the talisman into more than a dozen parts, distributed them to them, and then said to them: "This is the Xu family's special trapped corpse talisman, you paste these talismans on the wall of the compound. As long as he comes in, don't think about going out. After everyone has posted the charms, come here to gather. ”

Everyone took the charm and walked in all directions of the compound, and after more than ten minutes, everyone returned to the middle of the compound. Zhang Xin said with some eagerness in his eyes: "Brother Zhixin, what should I do next?" ”

Xu Zhixin looked at him, took out a stack of green charms from the box, and said with a slight smile on his face: "This is an anti-corpse talisman that can prevent zombies from entering the room." Stick these charms on the doors and windows of each room, as well as on the walls, and besiege the city in a circle, with more than one person between the two charms, not too far. ”

He then distributed those charms to the others, but not to Sunan and Zhang Zhen. He looked strange, and there was a look in his eyes that he didn't give me. Xu Zhixin looked at them and said slowly: "You two have other tasks!" ”

After speaking, he took out a ball of red thread from the box, and there were many bells hanging on the red line, and then threw the ball of thread to Sunan, he took the ball of thread, and said with a surprised face: "Brother Zhixin, what does this mean?" ”

Xu Zhixin looked at him, then looked at Zhang Zhen and said: "This is the ghost ringing bell, if he comes, this bell will ring, the two of you hang this bell under the eaves of each room, remember not to break the line, it is enough to hang one under the eaves of each room." ”

The two of them nodded and then started to act, the two of them said as they walked, Sunan looked at the red line bell in his hand, and said to Zhang Zhen with a face full of surprise: "The old muddy Brother Zhixin has completely disappeared, and now standing in front of us is a Taoist master, all kinds of magical things in the box, it looks amazing!" ”

Zhang was full of emotion in his heart, remembering his days in CD, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes! Back then, he inherited the family business in order to help me find a gossip map, and Brother Zhixin was also a Taoist wizard, who only started in his twenties, but now he is so powerful! ”

The two of them hung the bell while chatting like this, and the time passed quickly, and before they knew it, more than ten minutes had passed, and the other people had already pasted all the green charms and returned to the courtyard. Xu Zhixin looked at them and said to them categorically: "You all go back to your room, no matter what happens, don't go out of the room." By the way, you go and inform the others, you must not leave the room tonight, even if you want to go to the toilet, you have to hold it for me, and you will never go out when it is not dawn! ”

Several of them nodded, and then dispersed, while Su Ming stood where he was, with no intention of returning to the room. He looked at Xu Zhixin and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I want to stay here and help!" ”

Xu Zhixin was a little uneasy in his heart, shook his head and said: "You have to go back to the room, it's enough to have Brother Nan and Brother Xin here, if we fail, at least there will be you, you know?" ”

Su Ming's eyebrows tightened, and he thought for a while: "What you said also has some truth, then you should be careful, if you can't beat it, you will run!" ”

Xu Zhixin nodded, and Su Ming quickly left the compound and walked towards the room. Xu Zhixin looked at his distant back, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He then crouched down and continued to search the box. I saw him take the compass out of the box and place it in the middle of the compound, and then took out a red thread from the box that was slightly longer than the diameter of the compass, and a copper coin was tied at each end of the red line.

He placed the red thread on the compass and did not let go until the red thread coincided with the needle on the compass. He then took out a peachwood sword from the box and closed it.

About five or six minutes later, Sunan and Zhang Zhen had hung the bells all over the Su family's compound, only to see Sunan pulling a red line in his left hand and a few bells in his right hand, and said to Xu Zhixin with an expression of not knowing what to do: "Brother Zhixin, what should I do with the rest?" ”

Xu Zhixin looked at the bell and red thread in his hand, pointed to the compass on the ground and said, "Just tie it to the compass, but I'll do it myself, you still have one more important thing to do." ”

Zhang Xin's face was shocked again, and he said in his heart: "Brother Zhixin today really opened my eyes and admired me to the extreme!" ”

Then he looked at Xu Zhixin, and said with some eagerness in his eyes: "What's the matter?" And it's been so long, are you almost done? ”

Xu Zhixin said with a smile on his face and a confident look in his eyes: "I'll do something, don't worry, it's just the last thing, it will definitely be completed before twelve o'clock, and there are still more than ten minutes!" ”

After speaking, he took out a ball of red thread from the box, and wore a lot of copper coins on the line. Then he threw the thread ball at Sunan, who reached out and caught the thread. He threw the thread ball up a few times, and said with a puzzled expression: "It's quite heavy, what does Brother Zhixin mean?" ”

Xu Zhixin looked at him, then pointed to the sky above the compound and said: "This is a rope to tie up the corpse, you two hold the head and the other hold the tail, hide on the roof of the compound and listen to my orders, when I call you out, you must come out at the same time to put this rope on his body and tie it up." ”

The two of them said in unison, "Good! ”

Zhang was a little puzzled in his heart, and said with a serious face: "When will we go up?" ”

Xu Zhixin looked down at his watch and said, "Now!" Before the words fell, I saw the two disappear in front of Xu Zhixin in an instant, Zhang Xin was ambushed on the left, and Sunan was ambushed on the right.

He held a peachwood sword in his right hand, and stood behind the compass with a red talisman between the fingers of his left hand, his eyes constantly turning, staring at the movement around him.

As the minutes passed, the surroundings of the compound were surprisingly quiet. Xu Zhixin looked at the watch in his hand, 11:59:32. His face was expressionless, and he counted down in his heart: "Twenty-eight, twenty-seven, twenty-six......"

After the countdown was completed, a sudden gust of wind blew. The hands on the compass are constantly jumping, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. The wind was getting stronger, his hair was swaying in the wind, he squinted, looked around through the gap between his upper and lower eyelids, and then stared at the pointer on the compass, which gradually slowed from beating frequency, and the yin wind gradually stopped.

Suddenly, another gust of wind blew harder than before, almost blowing him off the ground. With his right hand, he thrust the wooden sword into the ground, glancing at the compass with both eyes, only to see the pointer stop. He struggled to pull out the wooden sword with his right hand, stretched out his right hand, pointed the wooden sword forward, kicked his feet back hard, and flew in the direction pointed by the compass in an instant.
