Chapter 36: Nightmares
Jiang Youdao and others walked to the city gate, but were stopped by two red-haired devils, "whoosh" twice and raised their muskets, as if they had seen a ghost, and shouted at Jiang Youdao, seeing that they were about to shoot.
Jiang Youdao immediately stopped, swallowed deeply, and said, "A few foreign masters, the poor road is passing by here, please be merciful!" ”
“! @#¥%......"The foreign soldier poked Jiang Youdao's hat with the head of his gun, looking confused, not knowing what the other party was about.
Faced with an incomprehensible language, Jiang Youdao was dumb and ate coptis, and when he saw that the red-haired devil seemed to be going behind him, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but was immediately hit by the head of the gun.
Jiang Youdao had no choice but to let the red-haired devil dictate. One pointed here, dotted there, and the other kicked with his foot, and a "corpse" fell straight to the ground, and the hat fell to the side.
Jiang Youdao's heart was in his throat, and he took three steps and two steps to prevent being seen, and immediately picked up the hat and covered the face of the "corpse", wanting to explain again.
At this time, from the dark corner under the city gate, a drunken foreigner stood up and slowly walked in front of Jiang Youdao, looking like he should still be an official.
From his stiff Chinese, you can hear that he has a little understanding of the customs of the Central Plains.
"You're a Taoist?"
"Yes, passing through here, please let the poor go over."
The foreign officials looked Jiang Youdao up and down, pointed to the people around him and asked, "What are these people doing?" ”
"Lord Hui, these are not people, they are corpses."
After Jiang Youdao finished saying this, the foreign officials and soldiers were obviously stunned and took a step back cautiously.
"Corpses, how can corpses move?"
"That's right, these people are dead people who have died in a foreign land, and at the request of their families, they are entrusted to give them a ride and go home to the earth."
"Also...... There is also this kind of thing, the Central Plains culture is really broad and profound, I don't know how you let them walk? The foreign official was suspicious, so he picked one at random, and was startled when he saw the blue face under the hat, and said to himself: "It's really a dead man, what a powerful spell." ”
Taking advantage of this effort, Jiang Youdao picked up the "corpse" that had fallen to the ground just now and put on a hat, at this moment, he felt the strong heartbeat of the man, and it seemed that he had to leave immediately.
In the face of the "praise" of the foreign officials and soldiers, Jiang Youdao calmed down a little, shook the soul bell in his hand, and all the "corpses" jumped forward, once again scaring the foreign soldiers far away.
"It's amazing, why is the bell in your hand so powerful, can you show me?"
Jiang Youdao had no choice but to hand over the soul bell to the foreign officials, and as soon as he took it, it seemed that a child had seen the toy of his dreams and kept playing with it in his hand. The crisp bell rang immediately, but the "corpse" did not move, which made Jiang Youdao embarrassed, afraid of revealing his feet, so he stepped forward and explained randomly.
"It's moving, it's moving......" With the excited expressions of the foreign officers and soldiers, a team of "corpses" followed him around the street.
Jiang Youdao muttered in his heart, when is this going to play, sooner or later he will be exposed, so he rushed to the foreign officials and soldiers, blocked his way, and said: "My lord, I still have to hurry up on the poor road, and I can't afford to be offended if I delay the hour!"
The foreign officials and soldiers are on the rise, how can they listen to him, and the other two red-haired devils are also coaxing, lest the world be chaotic.
Time passed minute by minute, after all, it was not a real corpse, seeing that those people were slowing down and a little overwhelmed, Jiang Youdao was anxious, but he couldn't find a better reason for a while. Due to the big movement, the residents on the street opened the doors and windows one after another, came to see the excitement, and immediately talked about it. Only then did the foreign officials stop ringing the bell, knowing that they had lost their identity, they walked up to Jiang Youdao and deliberately handed over the soul bell, Jiang Youdao just wanted to take it back, he immediately withdrew his hand and asked, "Can you give me this thing?" Jiang Youdao was full of question marks, and said in his heart What do you want this thing for, but I don't have this, what do I rely on to drive out the corpse, and then I think about it, they are not real corpses, so I borrowed his personal favor and made up another reason casually, it is better to go out of the city first. Seeing that Jiang Youdao hesitated, the foreign official asked again, and at the end he also said: As long as you give him the soul bell, you will open the city gate. This can be said to be Jiang Youdao's heart, full of promises, without the soul bell, he can only grope in the Qiankun bag to see if there are other utensils that can be replaced, after all, there are still so many people watching. But he has never been a Taoist priest, and subconsciously thinks that he can only find someone who can speak decently, and his hard work pays off, so that he can find a magic weapon - cymbals. The cymbal consists of two round copper plates with a raised part in the middle, tied with a red rope. Jiang Youdao held a piece of each, and before the joint attack, he made a statement to the "group of corpses": "Yin people start, Yang people avoid ......" As the voice fell, the city gate slowly opened, and Jiang Youdao breathed a sigh of relief...... After that, it had nothing to do with Jiang Youdao, but he couldn't return to the city for the time being, so under the cover of Taoist costumes, he began to travel around the country, and by chance he rescued a female Taoist priest, and they fell in love with each other for a long time. But the other party is a person in the Taoist sect, which is inevitably out of line, but the female Taoist priest disagrees, putting aside the worldly vision, not only teaching Taoism, but also living the life of a fairy couple. Decades of travel have made this "Thirty-six Techniques of Taoism" and become the heirloom of the Jiang family. I always thought that the life of the ancients was boring and boring, but I didn't expect that there would be such an enviable and longed-for legendary career around us. The three of us chatted, talking and laughing, the time soon reached midnight, and I don't know if it was bad in my heart, although I didn't mention it, in fact, I was afraid that this moment would come, because so many things happened, no one knew if the night of the first seven days could be spent peacefully. In the mouths of the old people, it is not a good thing for the deceased to have revenge and revenge, and besides, I can't fight with Runzi and Ma Company Commander Eight Poles, in case the finger is pointed at us, isn't it the unfortunate thing that wet shoes by the river and the fish in the pond are affected. I watched that Jiang Jiezheng had hardly stopped smoking, and I didn't know how nervous I was, wasn't he the one who "killed" Company Commander Ma. At this time, even a cat meow outside the window can make him have an adrenaline rush, phlegm to his throat, and he will die with a whimper. I thought to myself about what I had and didn't have, but I didn't know that the nightmare of the night had slowly approached us, and the whirlwind from far and near knocked softly on the glass outside the window, and it was not pleasant to hear. "Bang dang dang ......", I don't know when, from the flickering window crack constantly came out of the barking of the dog, mixed with the owner's beating and scolding, it really made people restless. Junko was irritated and wanted to close the window tightly, but as soon as he held the window frame steady, his eyes became terrified, and he trembled and liquid flowed from under his legs. I didn't need to look at it to know that Runko was peeing again, and I wanted to laugh, but because of the tension of the atmosphere, I just took it back.
