Under the moonlight, you can see that on the west side of the alley is a row of doormen of different heights, and on the east side of the alley, this is a row of old houses that look very old, because of disrepair, many of the top floor tiles have fallen off a lot, revealing bare beams.

In my memory, there is indeed such an old house near Juyizhuang, and when Juyizhuang was still there, there were still people living in these old houses. Unexpectedly, after so many years of demolition, these old houses have been preserved.

When I was about to reach the mouth of the alley, I faintly saw a glimmer of fire, the light came from a yard next to the alley, and I looked at the roof of the yard, and the same large bricks and tiles fell off, revealing a very long beam. The beating light of the fire was reflected on the beam, which looked very mysterious.

Liang Houzai and I exchanged a look, and lightly came to the gate of the courtyard, the two wooden doors were so hidden, through the crack in the door, I could vaguely see a figure in the house shaking, a large amount of pure yin qi emanating from the house, slowly flowing towards the north.

I frowned and whispered to Liang Houzai, "It seems that someone is doing it." ”

Liang Houzai shook his head: "Not necessarily, further south, the yin aura is stronger than in this room." It is also possible that the people who live in it are homeless. ”

I went back into the alley and looked at the walls of the courtyard, which were made of yellow mud mixed with stones, and although they were a little old, they still looked very strong.

Although the wooden door is not closed tightly, if you rush to push the door in, the rusted door shaft will definitely make a noise.

If you want to enter the courtyard without knowing it, you can only climb over the wall.

I patted Liang Houzai, and raised my chin towards the courtyard wall: "Up!" ”

Liang Houzai nodded, climbed over the wall with a vertical body, and then grabbed the edge of the wall and fell to the ground carefully.

After that, I also rushed to the top of the wall in three steps, but when the soles of my feet stepped on the tiles at the top of the wall, I heard a very clear "click", and the tiles could not bear my weight and cracked in half.

Just as the voice was remembered, a loud shout came from the room: "Who! ”

Immediately after, a man in a Taoist robe rushed out of the room, holding a peachwood sword in his hand.

Just looking at his dress, I knew that he was not a vagabond, and he was stained with a lot of yin qi, so I immediately concluded that the large amount of yin qi that filled the alley was caused by his practice.

"Catch him!"

At the same time as I shouted at Liang Houzai, I also jumped into the courtyard.

Liang Houzai rushed to the man with an arrow step, and saw that the man rounded the peachwood sword and slashed at Liang Houzai's shoulder.

Although he was ruthless, but the speed in his hand was not fast, Liang Houzai avoided it slightly sideways, and at the same time a whip leg swept on his calf, don't look at Liang Houzai is thin, but the strength on his leg is surprisingly large, the person dressed as a Taoist priest was swept off the ground by Liang Houzai on the spot, and fell heavily to the ground.

I rushed over, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and with a hard squeeze, he was pinned to the ground.

Liang Houzai quickly rushed into the room, and after a few seconds, he rushed out again and said to me: "There is a ritual vessel for the table inside, and it is his practice that attracts yin qi." ”

The man on the ground grabbed his shoulder and grinned in pain, but he was not idle, and kept shouting at us: "You demons, if my master knows that you have ruined me, he will definitely not be finished with you...... Oops, it hurts, it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts—"

I slammed my hand twice, and all he had left was to cry out in pain.

I reached out again, grabbed him by the other shoulder, lifted him up, and pressed him into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw an offering table in the middle of the room, on which were placed incense burners and a gilt bowl.

In addition, there is a portrait of the three please on the wall facing the door.

A stream of yin qi flowed from the hole in the south wall into the gilded bowl on the offering table, and after circling the bowl three times, it flew towards the side of the alley.

And on the surface of the gilt bowl, there are also three spiritual runes.

Liang Houzai walked to the offering table and looked at the three talismans carefully, then turned his head and asked the Taoist priest, "Is this the evil talisman you draw?" ”

The Taoist priest was grabbed by my shoulders, so painful that he couldn't speak, he just looked at Liang Houzai with a very disdainful look, and in this disdain, there was still a bit of unyielding and resolute.

When I saw his eyes from the side of his face, I had the illusion that Liang Houzai and I were the bad guys.

But then Liang Houzai's words made the Taoist priest's firm eyes instantly disperse.

I saw Liang Houzai point to the upper left corner of one of the talismans and said, "You drew it wrong, this line should go in the opposite direction." ”

Hearing Liang Houzai's words, the expression on the Taoist priest's face sank suddenly, and his whole face became pale, I felt that he should not be in pain, but frightened.

A Taoist priest who can even draw the wrong charm must not have any Taoism, I thought so, and let go of the force in my hand, this time he was able to speak, so he hurriedly asked Liang Houzai: "I really ...... these talismans Is it really wrong? ”

Liang Houzai ignored him, picked up the cinnabar pen from the offering table, redrew three blocking charms, and replaced the three waste charms on the gilt bowl.

As soon as the talisman was replaced, the yin qi coiled in the gilded bowl could no longer pour out, and could only linger in the bowl constantly.

The gilded bowl seemed to be able to dissolve the yin qi, but when the yin qi was poured into it, the yin aura inside had no tendency to become stronger, and it remained in its original state.

Liang Houzai stood next to the gilt bowl and waited for a while, knowing that he had confirmed that the yin qi in the bowl was no longer leaking, before he turned his head and said to me, "Brother Dao, let him go." ”

I raised my head towards the gilt bowl and asked Liang Houzai what was going on.

Liang Houzai pointed at the Taoist priest and said to me with a smile: "I didn't pay attention to the first time I came in, I just saw the gilded bowl on the blocking charm I reacted, he put this formation in our vein, called the Qi Blocking Array, is the simplest blocking array, but after he brought the Yin Qi over, he drew the wrong charm, and failed to block the Yin Qi." ”

I understand that this Taoist priest was originally well-intentioned in doing this, but unfortunately there was a mistake in the technique, so that he did bad things with good intentions.

As soon as the Taoist priest was able to move, he rushed to the gilded bowl like a gust of wind, carefully compared his own blocking charm with Liang Houzai's blocking charm, and then heard him mutter: "It's over, it's over, it's really the wrong drawing, if the master finds out, I'll be finished, oops, it's over." ”

Liang Houzai walked up to me and said to me, "This Taoist priest is too sloppy, he can even draw the wrong sigils. ”

I looked at the back of the Taoist priest and the six gods, and my heart was also a chill, three minutes ago, Liang Houzai and I had just attacked him, but after he learned that the magic circle had gone wrong, he only thought about whether his master would punish him, and had completely forgotten the existence of me and Liang Houzai.

I have a vague hunch that it is strange that this Taoist priest in front of me can't get it right, so it's best to draw a line with him quickly and stay away from him.

Before he came back to his senses, I said to Liang Houzai: "Ignore him for now, it's more important to find the source of yin qi." ”

Liang Houzai still seemed a little uneasy: "Do you want to leave now?" But I don't think something is right with this Taoist priest. ”

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Liang Houzai thought for a while and said, "Actually...... It's not that there's something wrong, I just think that this Taoist priest must be extremely unreliable in terms of magic, and if he is left alone, he will have to make some kind of moth. ”

I said, "Let's find the source of the yin qi first, as long as the source is suppressed, he won't be able to poke out too big of a building with his own way." ”

As I spoke, I pulled Liang Houzai and walked outside.

At that time, I always had a feeling that if we were too deeply involved with the Taoist priest in front of us, we would get into trouble.

But just as I was pulling Liang Houzai and was about to walk out of the house, the Taoist priest suddenly turned his head, I didn't intend to pay attention to him, but after he glanced at me, he actually called out my name: "Huh? Don't you have a left way? ”

As soon as he said that, I had to stop and ask him, "Do you know me?" ”

He said to me with a smile: "I'm Wu Xiangsong, have you forgotten me?" ”

I thought about it carefully, and among the people I know, there doesn't seem to be a person named Wu Xiangsong, to be exact, there doesn't seem to be a person with the surname Wu among the people I know.

Seeing that I didn't respond, he said, "Alas, you forgot, when your master brought you to Xianyiguan two months ago, I still led you into the view." ”

Listening to him say this, I remembered, during the summer vacation, the master taught me to draw talismans, in order to let me perceive the spiritual charm of heaven and earth, once took me to a trip to Xianyiguan, the master said that Xianyiguan is the most abundant place in our county, and practicing drawing talismans in that place can do half the work.

This immortal temple is the Taoist temple opened by Chen Daochang, and the Taoist priest named Wu Xiangsong in front of him is a closed disciple of Chen Daochang. When we came in that day, he did receive us, but at that time he only spoke a few words to my master, and I had zero communication with him, and I didn't know his name.

Now I finally understand why I have that ominous premonition. What kind of master teaches what kind of apprentice, in Wu Xiangsong, there is also a bit of Chen Daochang's unique temperament, that rogue temperament that makes people headaches.

But since he is a Taoist friend of Xianyiguan, I can only be polite to him.

I hugged him and said to him, "It turned out to be Daochang Wu, disrespectful and disrespectful." I'm still a little bit ahead of schedule, you get busy. ”

I didn't expect him to laugh at me when he heard me talk like this: "What is disrespectful and disrespectful, what age do you still say such things, have you watched too many martial arts movies?" Oh, I just heard you say that you want to find the source of yin qi, right? ”

I didn't expect him to speak so politely, but he looked older than me, so I still said politely: "Yes, I do have this plan, the yin qi in this area is too heavy, if you don't suppress the source of yin qi, I'm afraid there will be chaos." ”
