Chapter 7: Spellcasting
Wu Xing pursed his lips: "Your mother is really a wicked chicken woman, when you grow up, beat all the people she beat you back - beat her father back, you have to beat her to her knees and beg for mercy." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Niu Dayong nodded vigorously: "Well, I always suspect that she is not my mother, when I grow up, see if I don't kill her!" Ouch - hiss - it hurts so much in the face. ”
Just as Wu Xing was about to continue to instigate Niu Dayong to teach his mother a hard lesson when he grew up, there was a sudden sound of "dangdang" tapping on the basin in the east of the village.
Wu Xing hurriedly turned his head and looked around, and then he frowned: "No one has a fire in the village, and there is no smoke column on the mountain, who sent the alarm?" ”
It is said that from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, once there was a fire, the chief of the village would knock on the gong to warn, and then there was a basin, and then the basin was used, after all, not every household has a gong, in case the chief did not find the fire, then it will delay the matter?
Niu Dayong was also full of doubts: "That's it, there is not even smoke, why are you striking the gong?" ”
Wu Xing rolled his eyes, and then pulled Niu Dayong: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
Niu Dayong looked at Wu Xing's pocket with toys, and said unhappily: "What's there to see, how good is it to play with toys for a while?" ”
Wu Xing patted Niu Dayong's head: "Toys won't run, and the excitement will be gone." ”
Niu Dayong had no choice but to let out an oh and followed behind Wu Xing.
The two soon came to the east of the village, and when they got closer, they found that it was Lao Li Tou who knocked on the basin.
Wu Xing's face is really not ordinarily thick, he only stole toys and foreign paintings from Lao Li Tou last night, and when he saw Lao Li Tou again today, he didn't even have a little embarrassed expression.
At this time, the villagers had just finished breakfast, and before they had time to work in the field, after everyone heard the movement, they all gathered on the rice field in front of Lao Li Tou's house.
After Lao Li saw Wu Xing, he quietly stretched out his little thumb to him, meaning to say, "Don't forget our gambling contract."
Wu Xing had long been so excited to get toys and foreign paintings that he forgot about this stubble, and at this moment, when he saw Lao Litou's gesture, he remembered it, Wu Xing secretly thought: Could it be that this old boy wants to gather everyone over, and then find out the murderer?
Wu Xing immediately became interested, and he pulled Niu Dayong to stand on the stone mill, ready to see how Lao Li Tou would find out the murderer.
Soon, Niu Huahua, Xiao Wu and others also came over, and a group of children looked curiously at the field.
When the villagers had almost gathered, Lao Li Tou spoke: "The reason why I summoned everyone here is because I found the murderer who killed that woman. ”
"Wow-"
The crowd immediately exploded:
"What? Found the killer? ”
"Who's the murderer? Is it from our village? ”
"Did the spirit do it?"
Lao Li Tou waved his hand at the crowd: "Everyone be quiet first, and after I cast the spell, everyone will do what I ask, so that you can know who the murderer is." ”
The crowd immediately fell silent, Lao Li Tou picked up a small bag from the table, took out a white piece of debris from it and put it on the table in front of him, and then he picked up a yellow charm from under the table, closed his eyes and began to chatter.
When everyone was stunned, Lao Li Tou suddenly burst out: "Unjust souls and evil ghosts have their own lives!" All causes and conditions have a cause! I'll give orders on Yama's behalf! Come and show your true feelings! ”
Niu Huahua, who was standing behind Wu Xing, was startled by Lao Li's loud shouting, and immediately grinned and cried.
Wu Xing was about to cover her mouth, when he saw Lao Li slap the charm in his hand on the white crumbs, the charm seemed to be affected by some kind of force, and it actually burned with a "snort"!
Seeing this, everyone immediately "whooped" and took a few steps back, revealing the expression of seeing a ghost, and Niu Huahua, who was originally crying in Wow, was also frightened to close her mouth, she blinked her eyes wet with tears, and looked at the burning spell in a daze.
After Lao Li Tou finished doing the Fa, his face turned pale, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, looking as if he had just run dozens of miles of mountain roads.
Wu Xing's jaw almost fell to the ground, he stared at his two dark eyes, and said in a daze: "Is this the skill of the phase master?" It looks like a monster casting spell in "Journey to the West". ”
Lao Li wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, arched his hand towards everyone and said: "Lao Dao has finished casting the spell, now please come over one by one, put your hands on the table, I only need to take a look at it, and I will know who the murderer is." ”
The villagers were all shocked, everyone had long heard that Lao Li Tou was a Taoist priest before, but they had never seen him show any skills, so many years have passed, everyone has long regarded him as an ordinary person.
At this moment, after watching Lao Li Tou's shocking performance, everyone knew that people had real skills, and when they heard Lao Li Tou's orders, everyone did not dare to disobey, and soon, everyone acted in accordance with Lao Li Tou's requirements.
Lao Li Tou looked at everyone's palms very seriously, every time he looked at someone, he smiled at each other, after reading all the palms of everyone, Lao Li Tou's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and then he said: "The murderer has been found out by me, for the sake of everyone who has known each other for many years, I will give you a day, and please take the initiative to go to the police station to surrender, otherwise, I will expose your true face in public at this time tomorrow!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads and looked around, and their eyes showed the meaning of looking at each other.
Wu Xing thought to himself: Can the murderer be found in this way? Isn't that too wicked?
Lao Li Tou's eyes swept over Wu Xing intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes revealed a sense of confidence, Wu Xing looked at a spirit, he waved his hand to his friends, turned around and walked out: "This is an adult's business, let's go play games." ”
For a whole day, Niujia Village was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and the originally very affectionate neighbors did not greet each other, as if they were afraid that they would be suspected of being murderers as soon as they opened their mouths.
This is not the case with children, who have a lot of fun, and as for what they see in the morning, they have long been squeezed out of their heads by the fun of games.
That night, Wu Xing's grandfather didn't go to Lao Li Tou to play chess, so Wu Xing had to go to bed early.
Wu Xing had a dream all night, he dreamed that he had become a physiognomist who knew magic, and he was majestic everywhere to subdue demons and catch ghosts.
Early the next morning, the villagers spontaneously gathered at the door of Lao Li Tou's house, waiting for Lao Li Tou to announce the results, everyone's expressions were very worried, as if they were worried that they would be identified as the murderer by Lao Li Tou.
