The second thing is that I entered the new group yesterday, and suddenly a book fan asked me, so I will answer here together: This year's three evils are located in the south and southeast, the calamity and the new year are due south, and the calamity is southeast; The main rush to the south, the flow of the year in the south, the water is prosperous in the north, it is advisable to be quiet and reckless -- I hope you will pay attention. )

Just about three or five seconds ago, it occurred to me that I remembered what the hell that smell was—it was the smell of a large Yanmar, and it was the smell of Heinrich's room!

Formalin!

If I didn't know what to do with them at this point, I was a good guy, and I had already guessed it the moment I smelled it, so I decided to pretend to leave and sneak back to observe the hotel.

I don't believe it, the two big living people will disappear in just a few minutes, this must be the trick of the old man Heinrich, combined with his trick of drugging the old man in Taiping Village, I can basically be sure that this grandson must be wearing gold-rimmed glasses, full of white hair, and his mind is full of intrigues... Needless to say, this disappearance was definitely made by him, and there must be something greasy behind it!

The hotel, gas station, and repair shop are very large, and we don't know how long it will take to find them, and we may encounter danger at any time, so I think it is better to use the trick of the 36 strategies to capture and indulge, and the idea will be implemented immediately.

Hmph, I don't believe you don't leak some tails to come out.

Out of the hotel, I didn't walk directly across the street, but instead walked through the parked car on the side of the hotel, as if I didn't plan to go directly to the opposite side first-but at the same time, I gently pulled Zhang Shihong, pulled him closer, didn't move, and said in a low voice: "Team Zhang, remember, don't go into any house after you get to the opposite side, just look outside, call people, stay in the open street, don't separate!" ”

"Well... Well? Zhang Shihong turned his head to look at me, "Then you..." "Don't turn your head," I immediately whispered, "Look ahead." ”

This guy's reaction was very fast, as soon as I said this, I immediately turned my head back naturally, and continued under my feet, but my eyes looked straight ahead, and I said to myself: "... Section Chief Chen, why don't you go over? ”

"I'm not going," I took in the feeling behind it, and when I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, I quickly turned around and glanced around, not seeing any signs of surveillance or voyeurism: "I'm hiding behind the car, you draw their attention, and then I'll go back to the hotel to have a look—pay attention, drag back and help me get in the way!" ”

The action is so fast, the coordination is so good, I don't even notice the Kansai and the thin man in the back, and I'm already perfectly hidden!

They continued to walk all the way, and I am sure that Zhang Shihong will explain it to them when they find out that I am not there, and all I have to do now is sneak back to the hotel to see what the secret is!

I lay quietly under the car, and when I heard a crackling knock and shouting from across the street, I got up from the other side of the car, and then bowed and rushed to the hotel window at a speed I couldn't have imagined, and secretly looked around...

Although the hotel is not big, there is still a hall of nearly 100 square meters below, in addition to the reception desk, there is also a customer rest area and a handicraft area, all of which are handicrafts from Tibet, all kinds of things, and some wood carvings - it was at this moment that I found that there was an empty piece of wood carving pile, as if something had been taken away.

What's there?

Ahh!!hh

A scream came, and I quickly turned my head, but I only saw the corner of my clothes flashing at the door of a house opposite, and I was suddenly pulled in, and the three people who were originally at the door were gone!

The doorway of the black hole was like a giant mouth, swallowing them all.

"Not good!" I screamed in my heart, and was about to rush towards the opposite side, but I had only run a few steps before I suddenly stopped—a thought suddenly appeared in my head, like a basin of water pouring down from my head, and I suddenly woke up!

It's a trap, it's a trap! A trap for me, for my keel blade!

It dawned on me.

The other party's goal is very simple, that is, the dragon bone blade in my hand - the Yanma failed to steal, and I must have made contact with the old man Heinrich, either because I couldn't get it, or because I had already used it, anyway, this guy immediately escalated the operation from stealing to kidnapping and substitution, and this old man will deal with me.

After discovering that I was going to Kham, this old man probably returned to the small courtyard to set a trap, but coincidentally, Tang Mu arrived first, so this guy took him by the way, and then lured me to Huangliang Town.

There must have been something going on between the old man taking Tang Mu and him preparing to lure me to Huangliang Town, although I haven't guessed it yet, but the overwhelmed plant behind the small courtyard is a proof. From my point of view, I naturally hope that this is going in my favor, such as encountering enemies, revealing my whereabouts, etc., and maybe even meeting someone who contacted me with a blue screen phone.

I'll talk about this later, but let's just talk about the trick of the old man - after this guy captured Tang Mu, he deliberately left a flaw, which made me think that I had seen through his plan to pretend to return to Kham and actually go to Huangliang Town, so as to underestimate the enemy. When we got here, he took advantage of our dispersion to first catch Curly and Four Eyes, and then because of my pig-like plan, he took the opportunity to arrest the Kansai and the others...

How am I so stupid! It's like being mentally retarded! Why do I understand such a simple truth now?

I hit my head twice, and my anger and regret came to my heart at the same time, and I didn't know what to do for a while...

it! If that's the case, I might as well just give him this keel blade!

This thought flashed through my mind, and for a moment, I really felt that it was very feasible: you see, the dragon bone blade was used to restrain the monsters under the square bone tower, and they must have held it, so why didn't I? In other words, it's like a lot of people in ancient movies grabbing a treasure and then using this thing to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

From my point of view, if he can use this thing well, I will save trouble!

The only difference is that the price of this thing is too expensive, so you can only choose two ways: mortgage lease and buyout, depending on the right choice!

But it was just a thought, and it soon dawned on me that it wasn't feasible: Tell me, what if Professor Heinrich wasn't trying to suppress the youkai, but was in cahoots with the youkai? There are a lot of people like this, who knows if he's not?

This was the thought that flashed into my mind at that time, and it was just a thought, if you really asked me to give it to him, I wouldn't dare, who knows what this old man would be? Maybe he's a monster himself—huh? It's just that, if that's the case, can I use this method to lure them out, yes, yes, it seems to work......

……

I was thinking of a trick, and at this moment, I suddenly heard a sound of 'sonor, sonor...", the voice was simple and dull, the rhythm was monotonous, but it sounded indescribably eerie, like a stick hitting my heart!

Keng ......

It's like the sound of wood hitting a stone slab!

Knor, sonor......

It almost shatters the soul of a man, knocks it apart!

Clanging, clanging, clanging......

The sound is getting closer, louder and louder!

In the bleak night, a figure slowly appeared, and he slowly walked out of the back of the hotel, his movements were very stiff, like a zombie, and like a puppet in a puppet show!

I pulled out the keel blade suddenly!

The figure gradually came out of the darkness, and the whole appeared in the light, with a stiff face and straight eyes, and the feet could not be bent or bent, and the whole person walked out straight and stiff - it was actually two wooden carved dolls, two wooden carved dolls in clothes!

The entire head of the wood carving is carved from a single piece of wood, and the paint paints the eyes, ears, nose and mouth, and the complexion is red, but the joints of the body are connected by bolts and can move. The joints around its body are constantly bending, stretching and contracting, coordinating the body step by step, and walking towards me little by little!

I gasped - although I haven't seen this thing with my own eyes, but I have seen similar statements in the book, such as what is written in "Demon Magic" in "Liao Zhai": There is a person surnamed Yu who is sick and goes to someone to tell his fortune, and the fortune teller says that he has a catastrophe, unless he spends ten taels of gold to buy his life, and the surname Yu did not agree, and in the evening, three monsters came one after another to kill him.

The first one is a paper man, the second is a clay figure, and the third is a wood carving, all of which were killed by Mr. Yu, and the next day he went to the fortune teller to settle the account, and the guy was instantly invisible, but he was splashed with dog blood by Mr. Yu's friend.

This is a typical method of exorcism, if you follow the classification of the five buckets and five elements, this is the 'yin art' that belongs to the previous 'five buckets', mainly to make all kinds of ghosts and gods power, through which to move.

I turned my head to look at the craft area in the lobby of the hotel, and then looked at this thing, only to find that the wood carving puppet was similar in color to the wood carving crafts inside, and it looked like it should be the same kind of thing, but I don't know how he got it, and the time gave him the ability to move.

Now that I had seen it, I wasn't too worried, but I put the keel blade back, glanced around, and found nothing but a broken brick in the flowerbed—and then, I quickly mobilized the yang energy of my physical strength to operate, and tried the driving situation of the nine-character mantra.

Yes, the nine-character mantra has been restored, and I can use any of these spells at any time.

Seeing the puppet getting closer and closer to me, my body couldn't help but bend slightly, ready to grab the bricks and pick them up, and smash him with peach blossoms on his face first, but at this moment, the puppet suddenly stopped.

I watched the puppet's movements vigilantly, and saw that he stopped without any aggressive expression, but one of them pulled out a large white cloth from his pocket, shook his hands and straightened them, revealing the words on it:

"Swap, bone dagger for everyone's lives!"

Simple, straightforward, and without hiding his hatred as a villain, he said his purpose as soon as he came: I want your dragon bone blade, if you don't give it, I will kill all these people!

In that case, I'll take it by surprise... (To be continued.) )
