Chapter 217: Rosemary

There are four windows on the outer wall of the mourning hall, two on the north and south walls, and we are crouching at the base of the north wall, and above our heads, there is a hollow wooden window.

Liu Shangang straightened up slightly, glanced into the bed, and then stretched out a finger towards it, then pointed to his own eyes, and pointed to me.

I couldn't understand his gestures at all, so I couldn't help but whisper to him, "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Shangang rolled his eyes, and also lowered his voice and said to me: "There is a person in the mourning hall, if we enter through the window, we will definitely be discovered." ”

I frowned, stood up slightly, and looked into the window, and there was indeed a figure in front of the coffin, and that person seemed to be keeping vigil for the corpse of the old lady of the Zhu family.

Judging by the silhouette of the shadow, the man must have been curled up on his knees, his head pressed low, almost buried in his chest, and I pressed my ear to the window, listened carefully for a moment, and heard a slight snoring.

The man fell asleep on his knees in front of the coffin.

I silenced Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, then opened the window and jumped in, because my body was so heavy, even if I could control the sound when I landed, it was difficult to control the slight vibration of the ground when I landed.

The man in front of the coffin seemed very alert, and as soon as I landed, he suddenly raised his head.

I said to myself, "I'm sorry. I quickly caught up with him, reached out and grabbed the back of his neck, and squeezed it hard, he fainted before he could snort, and I dragged his upper body, which was about to fall, and gently put him on the ground.

After that, I went back to the window, held it up, and motioned for Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai to hurry into the house.

The two of them moved much more lightly than I did, and when they climbed through the window, there was no sound, and the ground did not shake.

After Liu Shangang and Liang Houcheng came in, I quietly walked to the window of the south wall and looked twice into the front yard.

At this time, the people who were keeping watch in the mourning hall were already asleep, and everyone's snort was tinged with a slight snoring sound.

I glanced at Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, and then pointed to the yellow wooden coffin in the room.

The two of them immediately understood what I meant, and quickly ran to the wooden coffin, and the two of them grabbed the coffin lid one left and one right, and at the same time ...... Failed to lift it.

Liang Houzai shook his head at me, and I waved at Liu Shangang and motioned for him to come to the window to be on guard.

Liu Shangang walked towards the window very quickly, and I came to the coffin, grasping the coffin lid with both hands, and slowly exerting force, this coffin lid that seemed to be made of wood was indeed very heavy, and I used almost ten percent of my strength to open a gap in it.

I didn't dare to use force just now, because I was worried that the coffin lid and the coffin body might be glued together, so I rashly opened it with force, and it might make a noise. Now, since the coffin lid can be quietly opened by me, it means that it is separate from the coffin, so I don't need to worry too much about it.

I took a heavy breath, let the muscles of my body relax a little, and then used a fierce force, quickly lifted the coffin lid, Liang Houzai immediately jumped into the coffin, I carried the weight of the coffin lid, almost with all my strength, to make the dead lid fall again at a very slow speed.

There was no sound, and I let out a long breath and rubbed my arm to regain my strength.

After Liang Houzai had examined the corpse of the old lady of the Zhu family, I had to lift the lid of the coffin again.

The air in the coffin was thin, I didn't dare to wait too long, three minutes later, I opened the coffin lid for the second time, Liang Houzai quickly climbed out of the coffin, and cooperated with me to close the coffin lid. At this time, Liu Shangang suddenly turned his head and pointed out the window with an impatient expression.

As soon as I saw his expression, I knew that this was someone.

I took a quick scan of the room, and the only places I could hide in this room, except for the coffin, were the two large steel pots near the west wall.

But to get to the Western Wall, we have to go through the entrance of the mourning hall, so that people outside will still see us.

Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, I immediately returned to the north wall, opened the wooden window, and jumped out, Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai followed me and left the mourning hall.

The three of us quickly removed the backyard gate, and Liu Shangang re-locked the gate.

When the iron cable is buckled, it inevitably makes a "click" crisp sound.

At this time, I heard something rushing into the backyard through the window of the mourning hall, and I quickly pulled Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang out of the backyard gate.

No sooner had we left than something was pressed against the back door, opening a gap between the two locked door panels.

The three of us pressed our bodies against the wall almost at the same time, so it would be difficult for things on the other side of the door to see us.

I could suppress the sound of my breath and squint my eyes in the direction of the backyard gate.

By the moonlight, I could see the hairy arm sticking out through the crack in the door, the arm was thin and very long, with sharp claws on the fingers, and a faint green glow in the moonlight.

The hand reached out of the crack and groped along the door until his finger touched the axle on the left side of the door, and then quickly retracted it.

After that, I heard a "click-and-click" sound from the other side of the door, and it sounded like some kind of animal licking its paws.

It didn't take long for the voice to stop, and then a voice came from yin and yang: "Safflower oil? ”

This voice is so unique that I knew it was Wong Tai Sin speaking as soon as I heard it.

Thinking of the arm that just came out of the crack in the door, I became more and more sure that this so-called Wong Tai Sin was changed by Huang Pizi.

At this moment, the footsteps of another person sounded in the backyard, and someone walked near Wong Tai Sin and whispered, "Zhu Gang, they are not quite right, Da Xian, go and take a look." ”

Wong Tai Sin: "yes, I see. ”

I winked at Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, and then raised my chin at a mud house not far away, signaling them to move towards that place.

After that, the three of us quickly moved against the wall, and when we moved, everyone deliberately slowed down. After leaving the courtyard wall, he rushed into the dilapidated house made of loess as fast as he could.

After entering the house, I glanced out the window, and just saw Wong Tai Sin running up the courtyard wall, he was lying on the wall, acting like a real yellow skin, and was looking around with his neck held high.

This time, his neck was sticking out of the neckline, and I realized that his neck was very long and covered with yellow fluff.

And Wong Tai Sin's eyes were still glowing with a faint green light in the night.

I saw him through the window, but he didn't notice me.

Huang Tai Sin looked at the wall for a while and then went down, and I heard Huang Shu shouting to him from a distance: "Zhu Gang's side can't control it!" ”

After that, there was a rush of footsteps in the backyard of the mourning hall.

Liang Houzai came to my side and asked me, "It looks like something happened to Zhu Gang, should we go over and have a look?" ”

I shook my head and said, "Go find Yan Xiaotian first, and let Zhu Gang's affairs go first." ”

When Liu Shangang heard me say this, he showed an unhappy expression: "Isn't it, are you going to find Yan Xiaotian again now?" In case Zhu Gang burps tonight, won't this business be in vain? ”

Liang Houzai said to him: "Now Huang Daxian is already suspicious of us, and the people in the village are all interested in his way, let's go to Zhu Gang at this time, in case we run into Huang Daxian, he will use these people to blackmail us." The top priority is to find Yan Xiaotian first, and let him distract Huang Taixian's attention, so that we can act with confidence. ”

Liu Shangang sighed: "Alas, why is it so troublesome? That Yan Xiaotian is not worry-free enough, even if he drives like that, let's make an appointment with him to enter the village, but he hasn't come yet. ”

I waved my hand at Liu Shangang, signaling him not to speak yet, and then I asked Liang Houzai: "Has the body of the old lady of the Zhu family been checked, how is it?" ”

Liang Houzai thought for a while and said: "The reason why the old lady's body has not rotted for many years is because the body has been infused with a large amount of demonic energy. And in the coffin, I also found this herb. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out an elongated herb from his pocket, which looked a bit like the pine branches of a pine tree, and the main body of the herb was a long, grayish-brown stalk with many narrow green branches growing obliquely.

I always felt like I had seen this herb somewhere, but I couldn't tell where I had seen it.

At this time, Xian'er came out of my shoulder, she looked at the herbs in Liang Houzai's hand, and said to me, "Isn't this rosemary?" In the first two years, Chai Ye was still planted. ”

By the way, this thing is rosemary, and my master did plant some in the yard in the first few years.

It's no wonder that the smell of rice wafting out of the rice was familiar to me before, and that was the smell of rosemary!

Liang Houzai saw Xian'er lying on my shoulder, so he smiled and said, "Yo, are you always waking up?" ”

Xian'er gave him a blank look, then looked around and asked me, "What is this place?" ”

I said, "A deserted village with yellow skins." Xian'er, I've noticed that you've been getting better and better at sleeping lately. ”

"Of course, sleeping more helps with beauty," Xian'er first answered me casually, and then said, "Yellow skin? No wonder the smell of this place is so strong. What about Chai Ye, why didn't you see anyone? ”

"My master didn't come," I replied to her, "This time, Master asked us to handle it independently." By the way, Xian'er, do you know much about the yellow skin? ”

Xian'er thought for a while and said, "Huangpizi, I know better, their cultivation methods are similar to those of foxes, and if you cultivate wildly, the techniques you cultivate are similar, in short, they are about the same." ”

Liang Houzai asked her: "What kind of cultivation method is Ye Xiu?" ”

Xian'er responded: "It's a practice that only has chance, not inheritance. Some yellow-skinned people, foxes, and snakes are born with spirituality and can perceive the spiritual charm of heaven and earth. Generally speaking, wild cultivated animals will have very few spells, and the spells that can be cultivated are generally related to their characteristics, just take the yellow skin as an example, their spells are generally used to demagogue, as well as release poisonous gas, otherwise, it is to conjure the soul and attract the soul, after all, the yellow skin is born to see dirty things. By the way, I still remembered this, my master told me earlier that if the yellow skin with relatively low mana wants to summon souls, it seems that he must use rosemary as a soul guide. ”
