Chapter 50: Escape
Zhang Yuan's soul gradually became empty, but the paper figure in Wu's hand slowly became smart. We know that Zhang Yuan has been attached to it.
I looked at the paper figure in a daze and called softly, "Master." "
Zhang Yuan didn't answer me.
Paper Zha Wu put the paper figure in the coffin, and then reached out and pulled the beautiful woman out.
The beauty was still groggy and sleeping, as if she were unconscious. Paper Zha Wu handed me the beauty, and then, reaching out to close the lid of the coffin.
The three of us knew that this place was dangerous and abnormal, and we couldn't stay for a long time, so we hurriedly ran outside.
The coffins outside were quiet, and there was no movement, which was a good sign. However, when we reached the middle of the yard, we realized that something was wrong almost at the same time.
Just now, the old man and the mute had been fighting, shouting loud and small, but they never stopped. Now, however, it is quiet.
There is only one possibility, the old man has been killed by the mute. It also means that the dumb man is about to come back and block us in the coffin shop.
Paper Zha Wu let out a low voice: "Hurry up." Then he rushed out of the gate.
At the critical moment, the abbot stretched out his big hand, grabbed him, and said urgently: "You stupid, the dumb man will definitely go to the front gate when he comes back, and he will hit us face to face." Let's get over the wall. "
Paper Zha Wu patted his forehead: "I'm confused, I'm really confused." Let's go, let's go over the wall. "
However, as soon as he finished saying this, there was a knock on the door of the coffin shop, and then a gentle sound of footsteps came.
It's over, the dumb has returned.
At this time, it is too late to jump off the wall again. A few of us bent down and hid behind a coffin, trying to hide.
The mute's footsteps were soft, but to me they sounded like a sledgehammer on the heart. I swallowed and frothed, nervously listening to the voice. Fortunately, the sound is getting farther and farther away, and it is estimated that it is about to enter the house.
I felt a burst of joy in my heart: "Saved? "
However, I didn't expect happiness to be sad. The beautiful woman who had been sleeping on my back woke up at this time, and as if she was whispering, she whispered, "Where is this?" "
This voice, if it were in normal times, I would definitely think it was a natural sound. However, in this situation, this sentence is like a death sentence for me.
After the beautiful woman said this, she fell asleep again. However, the sound of mute footsteps had already come towards here. Obviously, the sound just now had alarmed him.
I, the abbot, paper Za Wu. The three of us were pale, and we all looked like we were dying.
I was so anxious that I was about to cry, and my hands were clenched together, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that the dumb man was coming, at this time, Paper Zha Wu suddenly jumped up, shouted, and rushed out.
The abbot and I were surprised and grateful, and we didn't even have the courage to look up, but just listened quietly.
I don't know if they were fighting, but they kept wailing, and his voice was getting weaker and weaker.
The abbot's face was as dead as ashes, and he did not dare to make a sound, so he gestured at me with his mouth and said, "He can't hold out for long." "
I shook my head, motioning for him to calm down.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the sound stopped abruptly. I cautiously glanced outside, then tugged at the abbot and said, "Let's go." "
The abbot's face was frightened: "You don't want to die?" "
I pulled him up: "Don't worry, the rooster crows." "
The two of us stood up, and sure enough, there was no one in the yard.
The abbot was still a little puzzled: "What's going on?" "
I said, "When the rooster crows, it means that it is dawn." All imps are to be avoided. When Zhang Yuan's old guy was there, he told me to get up at this time of the day and feel the yin and yang, and I already had a biological clock. "
The abbot and I didn't delay, and rushed to the Dasheng Temple with the beautiful woman on our backs.
Theoretically, no ghost would dare to arrest someone in the temple in broad daylight, so we had a whole day to escape.
The abbot and I were tired and frightened all night, and we were already exhausted.
The two of us fell crookedly on the main hall, panting against the futon.
The abbot said: "I really didn't expect that Old Man Wu is usually so timid, and when the matter comes, he is really righteous." "
I nodded, "yes, I really didn't expect that." However, you're not bad, abbot. Although this trip didn't help, you are willing to come, which is already very face-saving. "
The abbot looked disdainful: "It seems that you have played a good role." "
Then he pointed to the beautiful woman lying on the ground: "What's the matter with this girl?" How do you sleep all the time? Why don't we try to wake her up? "
I nodded: "Of course you have to wake up, otherwise you will carry her to Xi'an in a while?" "
The abbot sighed: "Xu You, are we really going to Xi'an?" As soon as your master's upper lip touched his lower lip, we went to Xi'an to find some character who died hundreds of years ago. Why do I think it's a bit of? "
The two of us were talking, when suddenly a long voice came from the corner: "If you want to die, don't go." "
The sound was so close to us that it startled me and the abbot.
Originally, the two of us were frightened along the way, but when we heard such a sound, we immediately jumped up in fright.
The abbot shouted as he stumbled and ran outside, "There are ghosts." "
I was a little more rational than him, and although I was not lightly frightened, I fortunately did not run away, but pulled out the peachwood sword and shouted, "Who is talking?" "
Then I heard the voice come out again: "I am under the altar." "
By this time, the sky was already dawning. I cheered myself up: "In broad daylight, can you scare the ghosts?" If I didn't even have the guts, I wouldn't have to go to Xi'an. Thinking of this, I picked up the tablecloth on the altar with a mahogany sword. There was a layer of dust underneath, and in the midst of that dust lay a blood-stained paper figure.
I looked at the paper figure under the altar and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
At this time, the paper man said quietly: "I am Paper Zha Wu." "
I shook my head again and again: "Impossible, the paper is tied to death." "
The paper man laughed, and his voice was full of pride: "Leave a line in everything, I want to see it in the future." I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, can I not leave a way back for myself at the moment of life and death? It was a part of my soul that followed you to the coffin shop last night, and the rest was in the paper figures. "
When I said this, I couldn't help but believe it. No wonder at a critical juncture, the usually timid paper Zha Wu is so heroic, it turns out that he has a back hand.
As I thought so, the paper figure suddenly made a soft noise, and more blood gushed out, and now, it was completely red.
Although I am not proficient in Taoism, I can also feel it at this time, and the situation of paper is not very good.
Sure enough, Paper Zha Wu said in a very weak voice: "The dumb man is too bad, he knows that my longevity is over, and if I stay in the paper man again, I will definitely be caught by him." "
I nervously asked, "What then?" "
Paper Zha Wu was silent for a while and asked me, "Do you have a peachwood sword?" "
I pointed to the peachwood sword in my hand, "Here." "
Paper Zha Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Xu You, I have helped you so much, if you want to store your soul on your sword, you have no problem." "
I readily agreed: "Of course it's fine, what's wrong with that?" Ay? Wait a minute. "
Something suddenly felt wrong. Judging from the tone of paper Zha Wu just now, he seemed to be worried that I would not agree. Why should I disagree? Could this be bad for me?
I suddenly remembered that Zhang Yuan had instructed me to sacrifice this sword with blood every day, only in this way, with the improvement of Taoism, this sword will become more and more powerful. Could it be that it has something to do with this matter?
I told me what I was thinking about. Unexpectedly, he was very frank: "If it was someone else, I would have been fooled by the abduction." But we are different, after all, we are born and die, and we have a little feeling. I won't hide it from you, if you let me attach it to the peachwood sword, the two of us will be equivalent to a blood contract. "
This sentence shocked me. Because I remembered that Li Xiaoxing's family was here. At the beginning, Paper Zha Wu made a blood contract with them, and as a result, the chickens and dogs were tossed by others.
As if he knew what I was thinking, he said in a very flat tone: "After the blood contract, the two of us share honor and disgrace, one loss and one glory." If you are in any danger, I will definitely do my best to help you. It won't hurt you. Now it's up to you to see if you're willing to get entangled with half of a bad old man's soul. "
I'm still groaning. And Paper Zha Wu finally couldn't help but urge: "You'd better hurry up, I can't hold on a little anymore." "
I nodded heavily, "Okay, I agree." "
As soon as he finished saying this, the paper figure lying on the ground burst into flames. Then, the fire gradually rose, igniting the peachwood sword.
I heard a tired voice say, "Before it gets dark, you must flee Taiyuan." "
Then, the fire gradually went out. And my peachwood sword seems to be a little brighter than before.
I looked at the peachwood sword and groaned. As soon as I turned around, I found the abbot right behind me. He looked at me in surprise: "Paper Zha Wu, inside this sword?" "
I nodded, "Seems to be." "
The abbot sighed: "Shall we run away before dark?" I really can't bear this temple. "
Before the abbot's words fell, the voice of Paper Zha Wu sounded again: "The abbot doesn't have to go, you are not from our faction after all, as long as your life is not over, no one will move you." "
The abbot grinned: "It's good if you don't have to go, it's good if you don't have to go." "
Then, Paper Zha Wu said softly: "I am seriously injured, so I will recuperate in this sword for a while." If you manage to escape, call me in the middle of the night. Let's talk about the next steps. "
After saying this, there was no more sound from Paper Zha Wu.
I looked at the abbot: "Looks like we're going to have to say goodbye." "
The abbot waved his hand lonely, turned around and walked towards the meditation room: "Let's go, let's go, the incense in the temple will be mine in the future." Then he slammed the door shut, and he didn't mean to send it off.
