In the month or so that Shen Yulin fell ill, the weak king still did not find his grandfather's house. However, someone in Wujiazhuang, not far from the old river, saw the shadow of a jumping zombie in the middle of the night. This shows that the weak king is getting closer and closer to Thrush Village. This news was sent by Situ Zi to Thrush Village. Situ Zi didn't know about the festival between his father and the weak king, and thought that he could ask his father to go to see it when he came to Thrush Village, but he didn't expect his father to say that zombies would not hurt the people of Wujiazhuang, so he didn't go to Wujiazhuang with him to have a look.

More than a month later, Shen Yulin recovered. He asked his grandfather to take the initiative with him and subdue the weak king before he discovered Thrush Village, taking it by surprise.

Shen Yulin believes that the weak Lang King can quickly chase here from the distant Tibet, but he has been searching here for a long time, this is because his grandfather is often active in this area, and there is more breath left everywhere, and it is a simple way to come back in the field, and the breath left behind is also single-line, and the weak Lang King is naturally very fast to find the breath of the single line, and there is his breath everywhere near Thrush Village, so it is very slow to find.

Grandpa listened to his words, and couldn't help but sigh again: "I feel that the closer I get to the answer to Xie Xiaomi's reincarnation, the more confused I become, and it is similar to the situation of the weak Lang King chasing me. It can be seen that all the principles in the world are the same. ”

Luo Buzhai agreed with Shen Yulin's opinion.

Grandpa asked Luo Buzhai, "What star is on duty today?" ”

At that time, Luo Buzhai was learning the twenty-eight constellations from his father. In order to facilitate the observation of the movement of the five planets of the sun, moon, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the ancients selected 28 constellations near the yellow and equator as symbols, collectively known as the 28 constellations or 28 constellations. Horn, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei, these seven stars form an image of a dragon, in the eastern sky at the spring equinox, so it is called the Oriental Green Dragon Seven Houses; Fighting, bull, female, void, danger, room, wall, these seven stars form a group of turtles and snakes intertwined image, the spring equinox in the northern sky, so called the northern Xuanwu seven houses; Kui, Lou, stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, ginseng, these seven stars form an image of a tiger, in the western sky at the spring equinox, so it is called the Western White Tiger Seven Houses; Well, ghost, willow, star, zhang, wing, zhen, these seven stars form the image of a bird, in the southern sky at the spring equinox, so it is called the southern Vermilion Bird Seven Houses. The images of the four animals composed of the above seven dwellings are collectively called the four elephants, the four dimensions, and the four beasts. The ancients used the haunting of each of the four elephants and the 28 constellations and the time of their arrival in the middle of the heavens to determine the seasons, and also to judge the auspiciousness of the day. People born in their stars can also combine his eight characters to determine the good fortune and evil of life.

However, there are only 27 Nakshatras in the Nakshatra fortune-telling method, which does not include the "Ox Nakshatra". This is because the horoscope-telling method is derived from the "Esoteric Astrology" in Buddhism - the Sutra of Manjushri Bodhisattva and All the Immortals on All Good and Evil Days, Good and Evil in the Tripitaka Sutra, and Buddhism was introduced to China from India, which changed China's 28 Nakshatras into 27 Nakshatras and included the Ox Sutra into the female Nakshatra. It may be that Indians observe the stars at different positions and angles. There is definitely a difference in angle between the Chinese watching the sky in the Yellow River basin from a distance and the Indians watching the stars at lower latitudes. The brightness and darkness of the stars in the sky also differ between the two places. This makes it possible for China to have 28 and India for 27. Therefore, in this fortune-telling method, it is impossible for anyone's birthday to appear in the star "Ox Nakshatra".

Luo Buzhai was very interested in the twenty-eight constellations, so he asked his grandfather to teach him. During that time, Luo Buzhai must see what star is on duty on the yellow calendar before going out every day.

"Today is the day of the Horned Star." Luo Buzhai replied, "The horned star belongs to the wood, is the Jiao, is the head of the Seven Houses in the East, and has two stars like the two horns of the dragon. The dragon's horn is the first rush of the fight, so it is fierce. ”

These formulas were all taught to Luo Buzhai by his grandfather. Luo Buzhai was not very familiar with these mantras, so he recited them whenever he had the opportunity, both explained and memorized.

Grandpa nodded and said: "Today's sacrificial marriage is not successful, if it is used as a burial day, there will be disaster and fright within three years, and naturally it cannot be used as a day to compete with the weak man." ”

Grandpa calculated: "If today is the day of the Horned Star, tomorrow will be the Horned Star." Kangxing belongs to gold, is a dragon, is the second house in the east, and is the neck of the dragon. The dragon's neck is guarded by dragon horns, and the changeant drives the whole body, so it is Dorjee. So let's go find the weak king tomorrow night. ”

Luo Buzhai, Shen Yulin and Ze Sheng nodded in agreement.

Luo Buzhai asked Shen Yulin: "Do you still need anything?" Iron bars? Clip? Or something else? "Luo Buzhai and his father used things like bamboo poles and iron rods when they captured the weak king in Radish Village, and they thought that Shen Yulin also needed similar tools.

Shen Yulin shook his head and said, "You all saw that night when I drove the corpse, I have a soul bell, and a soul exorcism whip is enough, no other needs are needed." ”

Luo Buzhai asked his father again: "Ma Xiucai, why don't we prepare some beans and irons?" We almost succeeded, and we might be able to use it again this time. ”

Grandpa hurriedly stopped him from talking, worried that Ze Sheng would know too much about his details and attract Ze Sheng's attention. Grandpa waved his hand and said, "It's definitely not okay to repeat the old trick." It has suffered losses before, and it will definitely guard against it in the future. ”

Ze Sheng looked at his father, then at Luo Buzhai, and said with interest: "Ma Xiucai, Mr. Luo, have you ever dealt with the weak king before?" ”

"Don't talk about the past." Grandpa avoided the heavy and said lightly.

Shen Yulin nodded and said, "Let's focus on the matter of capturing the weak king tomorrow night." If we want to look for it, we won't necessarily find it. Tomorrow night, if we go separately, it's too dangerous. It's better to go to Wujiazhuang for a field trip first to see which places are suitable for zombie action and which places are inconvenient for zombies. If it wants to come out, it will generally choose a path that is more convenient for it to walk. ”

Ze Sheng said: "Will zombies still pick the road?" ”

Shen Yulin explained: "Although we corpse chasers can use spells such as downhill skills and bridge crossing skills, we try to avoid uneven places when driving corpses, so as to save ourselves trouble. We are like this, and so will the zombies. Just like when you go up the mountain, you will definitely choose the mountain road and will not stumble through the trees and grass. Isn't it? ”

"That's right." Zesheng Road.

So, Shen Yulin went to Wujiazhuang in advance to walk around, familiarize himself with the terrain of Wujiazhuang, and use his experience in choosing a route when driving out the corpse to figure out the route that King Jiaolang is most likely to take.

The next night, Grandpa, Luo Buzhai, Shen Yulin and Zesheng went to Wujiazhuang together. Naturally, the bamboo slipper does not stay at home alone, and it trots all the way after it.

After arriving at Wujiazhuang, led by Shen Yulin, several of them walked slowly on the trail in Wujiazhuang, looking for shadows passing around as they walked, and listening to whether there were jumping footsteps nearby while walking.

Luo Buzhai came to Wujiazhuang during the day and told everyone in every household, telling them not to come out tonight no matter what sound they heard or what they saw, and it was best to turn off the lights and go to bed early. So at this time, Wujiazhuang seemed to be an uninhabited village, and there was no one else except for a few of their intruders.

Grandpa secretly observed Ze Sheng and found that he didn't have a scared look.

The first to hear the sound was the bamboo slipper.

It suddenly squeaked, breaking the silence, and then quickly sprang in one direction.

Grandpa and Luo Buzhai glanced at each other, and hurriedly ran with Zhu Yuzi. Ze Sheng and Shen Yulin followed.

After running for a distance, Daddy heard the sound of jumping. But after following the sound to find the place, it turned out that it was not the weak king who was jumping, but a group of scarecrows!

Standing in front of this group of scarecrows is Li Xiaocheng of Li Jiaao.

At his feet was a pitch-black wild cat.

The wild cat saw his father and grinned, "Meow......"

Daddy knew they were here to help, and he was speechless with gratitude.

Li Xiaocheng nodded at them, then looked at the wild cat at his feet, and said, "It learned that you will come here tonight to deal with the weak king from Tibet, so it will come to my house to borrow a scarecrow to help you." It told me that the scarecrow has no flesh and blood, and will not be touched by the weak king, and can act as a human hand, but also can leave no trouble. So, I came with it. ”

Ze Sheng saw the dense scarecrow behind Li Xiaocheng, and his eyes lit up and said, "It's amazing!" It's a scarecrow army! I've been in business for many years, and I'm not as good as a cat demon......" He consciously lost his words and immediately shut up.

Luo Buzhai looked sideways at Ze Sheng and chewed on what he had just said: "...... have been in business for many years."

Ze Sheng smiled and said, "No, no." I mean, I'm ashamed that I've lived for so many years and isn't as capable as a cat. ”

Grandpa said to the wild cat: "Last time I said that you have been practicing for many years but you can't even speak human words, it is because I have eyes and don't know Taishan." ”

The wildcat still meows and does not speak.

Li Xiaocheng said with a smile: "Ma Xiucai, it told me before it came, it said that it used to despise your strength because it was stronger than you, and it brought so many zombies to disturb you and your father, and it felt very guilty, so from now on, it will never learn human tongues and speak human words in front of you." ”

Grandpa couldn't help but arch his hand and said, "I can't stand it!" ”

After all, cats and mice are natural enemies. When the wild cat first saw Bamboo Slipper, its eyes suddenly became sharp, but it knew that Bamboo Slipper was Daddy's companion, so it didn't immediately pounce on it. And the bamboo slip has always been bold, and it does not avoid people, and it swaggers and ignores it when it faces the cat demon. But when Li Xiaocheng said that the cat demon bowed down to his father, Zhu Yuzi hurriedly jumped to his father's feet and quickly climbed onto his father's shoulder. The audacity of the bluff was immediately exposed.

But it makes sense. When encountering ordinary cats, Zhu Yuzi naturally relies on his own little cultivation and is not afraid, and he may not fall behind when he really fights. But the cat in front of him is a cat that worships the moon and becomes a demon, in addition to being the natural enemy of mice, Xiuwei is also many times stronger than Zhu Yuzi, and Zhu Yuzi is afraid that it is a matter of course.

Luo Buzhai stood on tiptoe and looked at the scarecrow behind him, and sighed: "It's really similar to an army!" ”
