Chapter 7: Yin Arrow

I felt that I had poked someone, so I hurriedly looked back, only to see a middle-aged man standing behind me next to Mrs. Mai, whose face was full of rotten blood at this time, grinning at me, and reaching out to grab it.

Seeing this, Zhang Xu outside the door rushed in and pushed me away, and kicked the middle-aged man's heart with his foot. The middle-aged man kicked him and fell straight to the ground, but before his back touched the ground, he stood up like a spring again.

The man in front of him is not a living person, but a walking corpse controlled by Mai Lao.

Zhang Xu saw the walking corpse stand up again, buckled the bronze mirror on his chest with his backhand, and hit it directly with his body, and the copper mirror on his chest burst out of a light under the collision, and the male corpse let out a painful roar, flew directly out of a few meters, and struggled for a few seconds after landing and couldn't get up. Zhang Xu quickly stepped forward, detoured in front of it, buckled its chin and pressed it to the ground, looked up and shouted at me: "Quick, take off the hemp rope on its body." ”

I was scared, but the matter was right in front of me, and I had to do it if I was afraid, so I went over in a panic, avoided the hands of the male corpse dancing wildly, and touched him for a while, and sure enough, I touched a thumb-thick hemp rope around my waist, and I pulled it out without thinking about it.

The hemp rope was taken away by me, and the male corpse calmed down at once. Seeing that the walking corpse was completely motionless, I sat down on the ground, and it took a few seconds to react, and I hurriedly got up and closed the door, and then carried the paper coffin under the eaves.

After finishing and preparing to ask Zhang Xu what to do with the corpse, he happened to see him pick up the hemp rope on the ground and put it in his pocket, and asked puzzledly: "What do you want this thing for?" ”

Zhang Xu patted the dust on his body and said: "The Mai Sect's corpse control technique is a unique skill, don't look at it as a hemp rope, it is stained with the blood of a thousand-year-old corpse, and the walking corpses below the thousand-year-old Dao will not dare to move when they see this hemp rope." ”

After listening to the introduction, I regretted it a little, and I knew that I shouldn't have thrown it away. But a hemp rope has such a great power, and the linen clothes on the Mai old lady are probably even more precious.

I pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "What about him?" There are four more in the cemetery. "It's not the old society now, and this matter can't be explained at all, and the body is exposed, so he and I have to go to prison.

Zhang Xu frowned and said, "It's a little troublesome, find a place to hide it first, and then talk about it after dawn." Don't worry about the cemetery, whoever got it, he will clean it up himself. ”

If something happens to me, he can't run away, and since he said so, I can only do it. The two of them worked together to carry the corpse to the firewood room and sprinkled some stove ash to cover the corpse stench. When I returned to the courtyard, I drew blood bamboo with my backhand and said to him guardedly: "You'd better tell me your identity!" ”

"Hey, I said why do you kid have a tendon?" Zhang Xu was a little helpless, pulled out a jade pendant from under his neck, and muttered: "If it weren't for the fact that my master owes your grandfather a favor, I would not want to interfere in this matter." ”

As soon as he lit up the jade pendant on his neck, I breathed a sigh of relief, his jade pendant was only half, and the other half was on my body, I have been wearing it since I was a child, and my grandfather said that the owner of the other half of the jade pendant can be entrusted with important things, so the possibility of the paper coffin in his master's hands is very high.

I lit up the jade pendant, and then said: "It turns out that you are not kind enough to help me, but just to repay the favor, in this case, neither of us owes anyone!" ”

I can't afford to pay for the Dao talisman he saved in ten years.

Zhang Xu smiled helplessly: "You kid, how can you be like your father, you can't suffer any loss." ”

His words were like a needle, piercing my heart, and I stepped forward and grabbed him by the shoulder and asked, "Have you seen my father?" ”

Zhang Xu's eyes flickered a little, and he stumbled and said, "That... That, I also heard Master and his old man mention it. He opened my hand and said, "I will take you to his old man's house when I have the chance, and ask him face to face when the time comes." By the way, don't you have a question to ask? ”

The mouth grows on his face, and I can't help it if I don't say it, unless there is a means to force him to say it. I was a little disappointed knowing that I couldn't ask anything, but my grandfather's whereabouts of my parents hid from me until he died, and ten years have passed, and I am not in a hurry to meet for a while.

I sat down on the stone steps, pointed to the paper coffin and asked, "What's the matter with the corpse inside?" And I think it's exactly the same as the surname Bai, could it be her corpse? ”

"The corpse is invisible, whoever you think in your heart, it is what it looks like!"

When he said this, my face was hot, because I was afraid, and I really thought in my heart at that time, if only the surname Bai was here.

Seeing that I was silent, Zhang Xu continued: "But this thing has a relationship with the white girl, ten years ago, I don't know why, the corpse fell into the hands of your grandfather. But there will be no corpse pill in the normal corpse shadow body, but after my master got it, he found that there was a corpse pill, and knew that someone was borrowing the soul coffin to raise the pill, so he asked me to bring the paper coffin to the surname Bai to ask what was going on. ”

Zhang Xu suspected that the corpse pill was placed in it by the surname Bai, and now the surname Bai is looking for a paper coffin, and the purpose is naturally for the corpse pill, no wonder she said that she didn't stay for the paper coffin, but actually lied to me.

I asked him again what the origin of the corpse pill was, Zhang Xu sighed and said: "I'm afraid that only the surname Bai can tell the reason for this matter, but now it seems that whether it is the corpse pill or the corpse shadow, it has a lot to do with Miao Jiang." Otherwise, they won't come to the door desperately to find you, now you and I just need to protect the soul coffin, and the rest will wait for the white girl to come back and talk. ”

Miao Jiang, the most mysterious place in Xiangyun, how could grandpa mess with these people?

Zhang Xu talked to me until dawn, and found that he didn't know more than me, but when it came to the blood bamboo in my hand, he said what my grandfather didn't finish.

Settle down with blood bamboo, divide yin and yang, and break the world.

It's a pity that he only knows this sentence, and he doesn't know how to use it.

When the rooster crowed, he stood up and said, "While no one gets the corpse to the back mountain, the Mai faction will deal with it themselves, after all, they are also afraid of getting into trouble." ”

I'm worried that the people of the Mai faction and the Miao brothers are still in ambush in the back mountain, and I am a little worried. But Zhang Xu said: "It's all something that can't be seen, and now they don't dare to come out and make trouble." ”

When I heard this, I found a few torn clothes to wrap the body, and the two of them carried it to the back mountain and secretly threw it into the cemetery.

Zhang Xu didn't rest much, he tinkered with the bamboo strips I put in the yard all day long, got a crooked paper figure out, stared at it for a few minutes, kicked it a few times, and said: "The paper man is still a skeleton, but it's a pity that you haven't learned anything, otherwise you can take advantage of the absence of the surname Bai, let's go to Miaojiang to find out the news." ”

That's what I'm thinking about, since the paper coffin is related to Miao Jiang, it's not a matter of waiting. It's a pity that, as he said, if you don't have the ability, you will never come back after leaving this door.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xu asked me for the key to the store, and he wanted to go and see it, so I left me alone at home to guard the paper coffin.

The store is not worth much, what can be exchanged for money is grandpa's craftsmanship, not to mention that the inventory is sold almost the same, just an empty shell, I am very relieved to give him the key.

After Zhang Xu left, I moved the chair, sat in the sun and felt steady, plus I tossed all night last night, I was very tired, and I fell asleep unconsciously, until there was a rustling sound of tearing paper in my ears, I shivered and woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already dark, the lights were not turned on at home, and it was pitch black, so it could be seen that Zhang Xu had not come back yet. I glanced at the paper coffin under the eaves, and the strange sound was coming from inside, and it was releasing a white mist outward.

I got goosebumps on my body, hurriedly pulled out the blood bamboo coiled around my waist, and ran towards the hall on guard.

Zhang Xu is not here, I don't care what the corpse shadow does, just save my life.

But just as I was climbing the stone steps, there was a sudden knock at the gate. My nerves were tense and I jumped at the knock on the door. However, the sound in the paper coffin stopped abruptly at this time, and the overflowing white mist slowly retracted. ”

"Who!" My voice was out of tune.

No one answered outside the door, except for two more knocks.

I didn't dare to go over when I went down to the courtyard, and asked again, "Zhang Xu, is it you?" There was still no response from outside the door, and there were two more knocks, much weaker than at the beginning.

"Could it be an accident?" Thinking of something bad, I walked to the door lightly, leaning against a door to make sure it wouldn't be pulled out, before I used the blood bamboo to pick the deadbolt open.

The deadbolt fell, and the door was slammed open, and a white shadow pounced in, fell to the ground and rolled over, and a red umbrella fell out of its body.

"The surname is white!" I exclaimed in surprise and hurried over to help her, but at this time her face was pale, her lips were closed, and there was no breath in or out.

I carried her back to the living room and laid her flat on the sofa, and after turning on the light, I saw a blood spot the size of a mung bean in the center of her eyebrows, and wiped it with my hand, and there was blood in it.

Just when Zhang Xu came back at this time, he shouted excitedly in the courtyard: "An Yan, your grandfather really left a hand." ”

When I heard the voice, I didn't even ask him what he had found, but rushed to the door and dragged him in, pointing to the one surnamed Bai and saying, "Look at it, what's wrong with her?" ”

Zhang Xu frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that she was just going out for a few days, how did she do this?" As he spoke, he squatted next to the surnamed Bai, took out a bronze mirror and looked at her eyebrows, his face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Yin arrow!" ”

I gasped and asked in disbelief, "How is this possible!" ”

The Yin Arrow is just a legend, it is said to be an arrow shot in the underworld, and a good person on weekdays suddenly loses his breath when he is planted in it, and the one in the middle is the Yin Arrow.

In history, there was also the case of Yuan Tiangang shooting the evil dragon with a yin arrow, and the person who might have borrowed the yin arrow has long since ceased to exist in the world.

I glanced sideways at the bronze mirror, and on the image inside, there was a black broken arrow stuck in the center of the white eyebrow.

Zhang Xu quickly put away the bronze mirror, and said with a solemn expression: "You can't stay here, we can't afford to mess with the people who can hurt her." ”

"Hurt? Isn't it out of gas? "I tried the snort of the surname Bai again, and it was indeed out of breath, and I was in a mixed mood when I said this, and I didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Zhang Xu said: "Ordinary people will definitely die if they are hit by the Yin Arrow, but the white girl will not, just find a pure Yang man for her to carry the Yin Arrow, and she will naturally wake up." Come, carry her on your back and let's go! Zhang Xu picked up the one surnamed Bai and motioned for me to carry it.

When I heard him say this, I was relieved in my heart, and hurriedly asked: "It's dark, and this pure yang man won't be able to find ...... for a while."

"Why are you so long-winded!" Zhang Xu was a little irritable, and I realized that he was very nervous, and there was even fear in his eyes. I don't have a good heart, the paper coffin just attracted people from Miao Jiang, but this surnamed Bai seems to have more troubles on his body.

Seeing that I was stunned, Zhang Xu forcibly put the surname Bai on my back, picked up the red umbrella on the ground and said, "Hurry up and go to the paper shop." ”

"Paper shop?" I'm a little confused. When I got to the gate, I remembered that when he came in, he shouted, saying that grandpa left a hand, could it be that he left something in the store?
