Listening to the threatening words of the hunchbacked old man, Noamo, who was as timid as a mouse before, tightly guarded the knife on his waist, glared at his big cowbell eyes and said: "I will not give it to death, I will pass on this knife to my son in the future, and I will never give it to you." ”

The hunchbacked old man looked at his sturdy ox-like figure, and then looked at the backs of Lu Dongzan and Li Yuntong who paused, measured each other's strength, and did not rob hard, but said repeatedly: "If you don't give it, you will die." If you don't give, you ...... die."

Noah Mo was furious by what he said, and raised his foot and kicked it.

I knew that although the hunchbacked old man's words were ruthless, his body was useless, and he kicked him, and rolled down the steps in front of the door like a gourd, and rolled all the way to the back of Lu Dongzan.

He reached out and grabbed Lu Dongzan's ankle, as if trying to stand up with strength.

When Lu Dongzan felt something coming behind him, he took a step forward, just staggering the hunchbacked old man's hand.

"Young man, please help the little old man to get up." The hunchbacked old man still stretched out his hand.

If the man in front of him wants to help him, he will have to turn back.

As if he hadn't heard it, he walked forward, and called Noamo in his mouth, "Since you are reluctant, go quickly, so as not to be entangled by those greedy ghosts." ”

The hunchbacked old man watched Noamo walk past him, and glared at him with his knife in his hand.

He could feel that if he forced it again, the tall, burly man in front of him would make a move.

Although he didn't know what Lu Dongzan was going to do if he was entangled any longer, the hunchbacked old man was able to live in a place like Yizhuang for so long, and he had his own way of life.

He rolled to the side, under a locust tree, and rattled to know what he was muttering.

Perhaps because of his collision, several birds flew out of the locust tree, and two of them swooped down towards Lu Dongzan and Noamo.

Lu Dongzan knife in the sheath, standing with his hands down.

Noah Mo also had a knife in the scabbard, but his hand was on the scabbard, and he had to draw the knife one step faster.

But by the time Noamo's knife was unsheathed, Lu Dongzan's knife had already cut off the birds that flew down, and the knife was put back into its sheath.

The hunchbacked old man muttered, "What a fast knife, I'm afraid this deal won't be made today." ”

He shuffled his steps, picked up the wind lantern that had fallen on the ground, and walked towards the morgue's house.

After Noamo cut off the bird, he picked it up and looked at it, and said with a sad face: "Great Minister, what should I do?" We killed the Divine Bird. ”

Lu Dongzan glanced at the jet-black bird in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, in the Central Plains, the crow is not a sacred bird, they regard it as unlucky, and they will feel bad luck when they encounter it." ”

The crow has a particularly sensitive sense of smell, the long-term sick and dying patient will release the smell of decay before dying, the person is not dead, the crow has already smelled it, even if it is far away, it can smell the faint smell of the decomposition of the corpse, so as to fly to it, so it is regarded as a mourning bird by the Han people, a bad thing.

But for the Tibetan people, the heavenly burial is the highest funeral, after death the flesh and blood can be eaten by vultures, crows is a good thing, which means the most noble almsgiving, only the people who did evil in life will not even birds and beasts are unwilling to peck at food, so in their opinion, vultures and crows that do not eat living things and only eat corpse flesh are sacred birds.

Therefore, despite listening to Lu Dongzan's reassurance, Noamo was still sullen, and he carefully put the two crows aside and made amends one after another.

When they got out of the courtyard, Li Yuntong, who was riding on the horse, was already waiting a little impatiently, "Why are you guys so long?" Did the old man blackmail you? ”

Noamo told him what had happened before, and when he said that the hunchbacked old man asked for his waist knife, Li Yuntong snorted coldly, "His appetite is really big, and he is not afraid to hold on." Ignore him, all the money on his body is promised, and it's fine. ”

When they said that they had cut down the two crows, Li Yuntong's face changed greatly, and he waved his horsewhip, "Hurry up, I'm afraid that those crows are raised by someone, and if they are killed by you, maybe there will be big trouble." ”

She hurried up and chased in the direction that Zhang Shengyuan had driven the carriage away before.

Lu Dongzan and Noamo glanced at each other, and quickly untied the horses tied to the tree in front of Yizhuang, turned over the horses, and chased away.

At this time, the hunchbacked old man, who had left all the morgue doors wide open, also walked to the gate of Yizhuang's courtyard, and he laughed like a night owl towards the disappearing backs of Lu Dongzan and others, "The yin spirit has moved, and the monk can't run to the temple, see where you can run." ”

Seeing that he was about to enter the city, Li Yuntong reined in his horse, looked at the few crows chasing them all the way in the sky, and squinted.

If it weren't for a little moonlight, the shadow of a crow fell on the ground and she saw it, but they were afraid that they would be chased to the door, and they would not have found that there was a crow following all the way.

When Lu Dongzan and them caught up, Li Yuntong said: "You go first, I'll come later." ”

When the crows saw that Li Yuntong was not moving forward, they did not chase anymore, and kept hovering in the sky.

Li Yuntong took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, drew an ecstasy spell on it, lit it with a flint, and raised it in the wind before driving the horse on.

The crows lost their orientation and flew like headless flies, and none of them followed them anymore.

Li Yuntong breathed a sigh of relief and drove his horse to catch up with Lu Dongzan and them.

Lu Dongzan was waiting for her not far ahead, his eyesight was excellent, even from a distance, he could see Li Yuntong's movements clearly, and when he was on a par with her, he asked curiously: "It's just a few birds, you need to be so careful?" ”

"Don't underestimate the crows, my master said that they are known as the best of the birds, and if one crow falls into the hunter's net at a certain place, even if the hunter uses a completely different trap, he cannot trick the second crow into the trick. When they snatch the meat and bones that the dog eats, a few of them will often peck at its buttocks, and when the dog reflexively attacks, the others will quickly snatch the bones it has put down......"

"When it comes to memory and tracking, neither the hunter nor the pigeon is their match, but because of their ominousness, few people use them for their purposes. But for some people who like to raise corpses and use yin spirits to do evil, crows are their best tool, just imagine, who will notice the crows flying in the sky? ”

Lu Dongzan was silent for a moment after listening, "His Royal Highness's master is really a master, even these will teach you, if he has the opportunity in the future, can he help the minister introduce him?" ”

Li Yuntong immediately looked at him left and right, "Oh, it's almost time, if we don't return the souls of Lou Tianxiang and Duan Jianbi to their places before the time, when the yin qi is in full bloom, I'm afraid that we will be taken away by other lonely souls and wild ghosts, we have to go quickly." ”

She whipped her horse, whistled from her mouth, and her mount rose to its feet and galloped forward.

Lu Dongzan shook his head and chuckled, "What a little slippery head." The whip chased after him.

Fortunately, everything was as smooth as Li Yuntong's previous divination, and when Zhang Shengyuan released Lou Tianxiang's soul from the vial he hung around his neck, she helped recite the soul-attracting spell and then said goodbye.

She still has to go and help Duan Jianbi's half-soul return to her body, the next thing here is to wait for Lou Tianxiang to wake up, Zhang Shengyuan explained the reason to him, whether it was funny to cry, she didn't have to stay and take a closer look.

Although she asked Chuncao to bring the words back before, but when she returned home so late, she had to listen to her parents' teachings, and during the day tomorrow, she would have to prepare the things needed for the Seven Stars Continuation Array, and as soon as the sun set, she could set up a formation for Zhang Shengyuan to continue her life, and those seven hours could not be interrupted for a moment, and she had to find a good excuse to explain the reason why she would not go home tomorrow night......

When Duan Jianbi's soul returned to his body and came out of the Jiguo Mansion, Lu Dongzan and Noamo were naturally not at ease, so they escorted Li Yuntong to the gate of Jiangxia County Palace, and then drove back to their residence to rest.

As soon as Li Yuntong entered the gate, he saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, and his heart was not good, so he walked towards the door of the inner courtyard.

Seeing the figure under the porch, a smile appeared on her face, and she grabbed the cloak with both hands and wanted to run forward—

Cloak!

She suddenly remembered that she hadn't returned Lu Dongzan's cloak to him in a hurry just now, and now she had put on one on top of her cloak.

Moreover, Lu Dongzan's cloak was obviously long, because a small half was dragged on the ground, and it was inconvenient to walk, so she thought about pulling it up...... Now, the excuse that she was wearing men's clothes so she wore a men's cape was useless.

Dressed in other men's cloaks, this is for her mother to see, and she doesn't know how to discipline her.

Li Yuntong's pace slowed down, she untied her cloak as she walked, Lu Dongzan's and hers were untied together, and they were all in a ball and handed over to Dongqing, who greeted her.

At this time, she was secretly glad that she was wearing a dark cloak today, and the two were wrapped together, and she couldn't see it for a while.

Dong Qing is the new big girl who was brought up after Dong Xue encountered the accident, and the tacit understanding with Li Yuntong is not as good as a few others, she is holding the boss's clothes, and her body can't help but fall down, and she is stunned for a while.

Xia Yu, who was on the side, was clever, and hurriedly put down her hand, and said in a low voice: "The princess of the county wants to talk to Her Royal Highness the princess, what are you doing here?" Don't take these back yet, and prepare to change the clothes for Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Listening to her words, Li Yuntong suddenly had an idea, she stopped two steps away from the princess of Jiangxia County, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm going to my cousin's house to see Jian Bi today, although she is nothing serious, but in the end she is a little sick, I have to change my clothes and talk to you again, and besides, I'm hungry, you have to ask someone to prepare some food for me......"

The princess wanted to say something, but when she saw that her daughter was tired, she was obviously talking to herself, so she said softly: "You go to change your clothes, and you don't have to go over me, my mother arranged a meal and put it there for you, when you eat, let's talk ...... it."

Seeing Li Yuntong turn around, she couldn't help it, choked up and said: "My son, seeing that you are about to leave Beijing in a few days, the days of our mother meeting are as few as one day, it is so easy to ask the Son of Heaven to marry you at home, and you still run out all day, and my mother didn't even ...... when she saw you talking."

Li Yuntong had to turn around and comfort her mother: "Mother, as soon as I see you, you cry, how dare I talk to you!" Don't cry, I'll sleep with you tonight, can I listen to you? ”
