Chapter 228: Back to the Reeds
I still don't understand what he means by rakshasas, in our industry, no one has ever called an evil corpse a rakshasa, and the so-called rakshasa usually refers to a very vicious cannibal.
I guided it down and said, "What does that Rakshasa lady you said look like? ”
Wong Tai Sin didn't need to think about it at all, and responded directly: "When we just dug up the Rakshasa coffin earlier, she was a dry ancient corpse, but one day I inadvertently woke her up, but she became a plump woman, she said that she was a native of the Western Han Dynasty when she was alive, and she called herself Rakshasa Niangniang. ”
I asked it again, "The soul-attracting lamp and the soul-hooking rope are all in that coffin?" ”
Wong Tai Sin nodded.
Now, things become a little unreasonable, the soul attraction lamp and the soul hook rope are the treasures of the Soul Village, and before the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, these two things have been placed in the Soul Village. But since it disappeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty, how could it appear in the coffin of the Western Han Dynasty?
I thought about it for a while and said to Wong Tai Sin, "Did you dig up anything else besides digging up such a coffin?" ”
Wong Tai Sin shook his head.
I said, "Didn't you dig up the grave?" ”
Wong Tai Sin still shook his head: "No, the coffin is buried in the soil, it is a coffin with very fine workmanship, after we dug it, we also thought that there might be a big tomb underground, but then we dug down for a long time, until we dug to the rock formation, and no tomb was found." ”
At this time, Huang Shu suddenly interjected: "Now, that thing that claims to be the Rakshasa Niangniang occupies Daxian's nest, and the entire clan is in her hands, and she uses this to blackmail Daxian and let Daxian help her collect geismans." ”
I touched my chin and said to Wong Tai Sin, "These spirits, did that Rakshasa Lady ask you to collect them?" In other words, the 'Huangquan Road' outside the village was also laid out at her behest? By the way, in the first two days, there were two yellow skins who let out poisonous smoke in this house, was that also arranged by the Rakshasa Niangniang? ”
Wong Tai Sin only answered my last question: "Big Ash and Abba were sent by me, and the two of them usually don't live on the other side of the river, and the Rakshasa didn't find them when she woke up, so she didn't control the two of them." ”
I asked it again: "What about Zhu Gang's earth soul, which the Rakshasa also asked you to collect?" ”
Huang Daxian shook his head: "No, I shot at Zhu Gang and his party just to take revenge." ”
At this time, Huang Shu said on the side: "There is an agreement between Daxian and Rakshasa Niangniang, she taught Daxian how to deal with Zhu Gang, and Daxian collects wandering souls for her on the fifteenth day of each month for her to absorb soul elements. However, those two magic weapons Daxian has only just started, and he is not very good at using them, and today is the first time to help Rakshasa Niangniang summon spirits. ”
Liu Shangang scratched his head and said, "The means to deal with Zhu Gang? Isn't Zhu Gang just an ordinary person, if Huang Daxian wants to deal with him, does he still need to be taught by others, won't it be over if he kills Zhu Gang directly? ”
Huang Shu shook his head and said: "But if it is a direct killing, the Great Immortal will be punished by God, the Rakshasa Niangniang said, as long as Zhu Gang and their earth souls are hooked, and their earth souls slowly dissipate in the soul pile, then Zhu Gang's group of people will just lose their souls but will not die, and the Great Immortal will not ......."
Before he could finish speaking, Liang Houzai interrupted him: "Nonsense, but if you do evil, no matter what way you do it, sooner or later there will be a day of retribution." Huang Taixian, you hooked Zhu Gang and their earth souls, there must be other reasons, right? ”
Huang Daxian glanced at Huang Shu before answering Liang Houzai's question: "I don't want to kill anyone, I just want to teach him a lesson when I get Zhu Gang back this time, but my Taoism is too shallow, and after hooking out their earth souls, I can't let these earth souls return to their original body." ”
When it spoke, it looked at Huang Shu several times, and every time he looked at Huang Shu, Huang Daxian had a trace of guilt in his eyes.
I know that the reason why it feels guilty is because it didn't have a ruthless heart to kill Zhu Gang, and it probably felt that its kindness was a betrayal for Huang Shu and Zhu Xuanzhu.
But I think this yellow skin is very cute, I always thought it was just a beast that did not enter the stream, but I didn't expect that he was more human and more conscientious than many so-called "people".
Huang Shu didn't mean to blame Huang Tai Sin, when Huang Tai Sin finished saying this, I also saw Huang Shu nodding towards Huang Tai Sin, and that kind of chin gesture was not an expression of understanding, but a kind of recognition.
There's no way, as soon as I see people like them, I can't help but want to help, Luo Youfang is right, I am indeed a woman's kindness sometimes, and occasionally my compassion is overflowing, but a woman's kindness is a woman's kindness, I can't change the things in my nature.
I put the Qinggang Sword back into my baggage, and then said to Huang Daxian: "Don't worry, I have already helped you deal with Zhu Gang's earth soul." I just want to know now, how long has it been since that Rakshasa lady you said has been awake? ”
Huang Tai Sin thought for a while and said, "For more than a year, during this time, she has been hiding on the other side of the river. ”
I frowned: "I've been there in the reeds, but I haven't sensed the corpse gas in the river." ”
I heard Huang Daxian say again: "She hides very deeply, and the local demonic aura is heavy, probably to cover up the corpse qi on her body." ”
I nodded and said to Wong Tai Sin, "Let's make a deal." ”
Wong Tai Sin was stunned for a moment, he stared at me for a long time, as if he wanted to see what I was thinking, I just looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.
It was a long time before Wong Tai Sin asked me, "What deal?" ”
I smiled and said to him, "As for me, I can help you kill that rakshasa on the condition that you follow me back to Shandong." ”
Huang Daxian looked at me suspiciously: "Go back to Shandong with you?" ”
I said, "Yes." I don't think this condition is too much for you, if you follow me back, maybe my master will be happy one day, and he can pass you some spells or something. ”
Wong Tai Sin still had that extremely puzzled expression, he just stared at me silently and didn't say anything more.
Liang Houzai also asked me on the side: "Brother Dao, you just take it back like this, can Grandpa Chai agree?" ”
I said to Liang Houzai: "Master, I will go and talk about it, and I think that if the soul-attracting lamp and soul-hooking lock can fall on his hand, it can be regarded as having its own providence in the dark." ”
At this time, Yan Xiaotian also interjected: "Zuo Youdao, you have to think clearly, it's a demon!" ”
"I know he's a demon," I turned my head and said to Yan Xiaotian and Liang Houzai, "Don't you think that if we can take Wong Tai Sin on the right path, it will be considered a merit?" ”
Yan Xiaotian rolled his eyes at me: "Forget it, anyway, Huang Daxian was caught by you, and what you want to do with it is your business." ”
Liang Houzai also said with some worry: "Brother Dao, did you make this decision too suddenly?" ”
I smiled at Liang Houzai: "It's nothing sudden, just leave it at that." When it was over, I said to Wong Tai Sin again: "How is it, have you thought about it?" ”
Huang Daxian looked at Liang Houzai and Yan Xiaotian behind me, and then asked me, "Can you count what you say?" ”
I raised an eyebrow: "Do you still have a request?" ”
Wong Tai Sin said, "I'll go with you, it's okay, but I'm going to take my clan with me...... There is also Huang Shu. ”
I glanced at Huang Shu and nodded at Huang Daxian: "No problem." ”
Huang Daxian still hesitated for a while, and then asked me, "Is your master really Chai Zongyuan?" ”
I nodded yes.
After that, Wong Tai Sin seemed to have made up a lot of determination, and nodded at me: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Seeing that things had been negotiated, I just stood up, just now I had been squatting and talking to Wong Tai Sin, my legs were a little numb, after standing up, I moved my knees and ankles indefinitely, patting my calves and stomach, while saying to Huang Shu: "Get some food to eat, tossing for a night, I'm hungry." ”
Yan Xiaotian asked me on the side: "Aren't you going to deal with the rakshasas, why are you going to eat again?" ”
I said, "Wait until the sun comes out to go to her, now I'm hungry and I'm going to eat." ”
Huang Shu smiled at me, then got up from the kang and trotted all the way to the mourning hall.
Yan Xiaotian sent Huang Shu into the back door of the mourning hall, looked at me again, and muttered, "Zuo Youdao, what are you thinking about?" ”
I ignored him, walked to the kang and sat down, closed my eyes and rested.
Now the streets are full of wandering spirits, and the yin energy emanating from the village can cover the boundary of a hundred miles, and even the reeds are shrouded in it, if I go to find Rakshasa at this time, she has the right time and place, and I don't know what her strength is, and it is very dangerous to go.
It's better to wait until tomorrow morning, the wandering soul is also hidden, the yin energy is also dispersed, and the reeds are full of yang energy.
It is said that Yan Xiaotian has been walking outside for so long, I wonder, why can't he even think about this kind of thing? Originally, he seemed to be quite clever, but when he stayed in a place like Baiwu Mountain, he grew up, and smart people have become fools?
After about an hour, Huang Shu came back with the food, the meat dish was still a small pot of fragrant rat meat, and he also fried a spicy wild vegetable, this meat and vegetable two dishes were eaten together, and it was really very delicious.
After eating, I lay down on the kang and fell asleep, until the next morning, when the sun showed my entire body from the horizon, Yan Xiaotian couldn't wait to wake me up.
I woke up Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang again, and went to Luweidang under the leadership of Wong Tai Sin.
When I was about to cross the canyon outside the swing, Wong Tai Sin suddenly stopped, turned around and said to me: "The whole race is in the hands of the Rakshasas, let's just swagger over, I'm afraid of ......."
I picked up his words: "You're afraid your people will be threatened. I was also pondering this on the road just now, and I think you had better find a way to trick the Rakshasa out. ”
Huang Shu, who was standing next to me, shook his head: "It's not that easy, for more than a year, Rakshasa has been hiding in the cave and hasn't shown up at all, we can't contact her, let alone trick her out." ”
