When I jumped on the roof again, the Sheng family music in the direction of the west end of the village also sounded. This time, the music was no longer as methodical as it had just been, but with a flurry of panic. When I looked back at the river, a jet-black log had poked its head out from behind the water temple. The direction that the log points to is exactly the west end of the village.

The gloomy wood outcropped, the drumbeat on the river, and the ceremonial music of the Sheng family came to an abrupt end at the same time. In the whole Anping Village, except for the whirring wind, there is no sound at all.

Tan Yue and I looked at the water temple with binoculars, and a row of wooden railings suddenly rose from the river leading to the west end of the village. The railing that broke through the water happened to block the front of the Shen Yin Wood, blocking the log with a diameter of nearly one meter behind the Water Temple.

"! The Sheng family plays yin! ”

As you can see from the color of the wooden railings, the row of railings will never be sunk into the water for more than a week. The people of Anping Village would not do this, it must be the Sheng family who are playing ghosts.

As long as they stop the gloomy wood, the log will definitely turn its way under the impact of the current and drift to the east. The purpose of the Sheng family is to let me face the ghosts and gods, and they are good at making trouble behind their backs.

"Tan Yue, you are optimistic about Mudong, I'll go up and have a look!"

As soon as I was about to jump over the rooftop, there was a torrential drum above the river. The loud sound was like a war drum urging the formation, and the originally calm river suddenly swept into the sky in the sound of drums.

As I watched the white dragon formed by the condensation of the water condensed rise from behind the water temple, the three-meter-long gloomy wood suddenly stood upright in the center of the river, and after a moment's pause, it smashed into the wooden fence across the water with a thunderous force.

After a loud bang, the wooden fence several meters long immediately split apart, and the broken wood and water splashed all over the field at the same time. Shen Yinmu rode the wind and waves in the dense drum beat, and rushed straight to the west of the village.

"Blocking ......"

The Sheng family's voice declined, and Shen Yinmu had already grabbed the west wharf of the village under the impetus of the current.

Several Sheng family warlocks who were not weak leaped forward, each shook out a spear, and inserted it horizontally under the rolling log in the posture of "picking up the pulley", as if they were preparing to pick the Shen Yin wood back into the river.

It was not difficult to tell from the muscles of their several bulging arms that they had done their best. Before they could do so, Shen Yinmu ran down the barrel of the gun and crushed in front of them. According to common sense, a few people let go and retreated, and there should be a possibility of escape.

But the men were all stunned in place, and it was not until the gloomy wood rolled onto the barrel of the gun and hit several of them in the chest that they came back to their senses, instinctively reached out and hugged the log, and together they held the log in their hands.

"Let go—"

They clearly heard someone shouting, and seemed to be about to let go and throw away the log, but their arms tightened and half opened, and then they hugged the log back and staggered a few steps, and at the same time fell to the ground on their backs.

The heavy log crushed over several people in an instant, and rolled towards the gate of Gao's courtyard with a loud rumbling sound, and did not stop until it hit the fence.

The warlocks who had hugged the Shadow Wood didn't get up again. Although I can't see their specific situation, I can also estimate that they are probably more than lucky.

When I took a deep breath and jumped off the roof, Du Miao had already extinguished the fire, and Ye Sen also ran back with a smile: "Brother, my brother played beautifully with that hand just now, right?" ”

I was stunned for a moment: "What did you just do?" ”

"Add some ingredients to the Sheng family!" Ye Sen laughed: "I threw the detonator in the manure pit of that house." You didn't look at it, it was a spectacular ......."

"Stop! Stop it! "I don't want to hear Ye Sen describe the scene of the Yellow River rolling upside down. No wonder there are people screaming on the Sheng family's side, and whoever sees that spectacular scene will probably be so frightened that they will scream, and then jump to their feet and scold their mother.

I didn't bother to pay attention to this, so I walked directly into the house and asked Mu Dong, "Have you ever heard the head drumming before?" Is it the same as the sound of drums coming from near the Shadow Wood? ”

Although there are various Taoist systems in Paijiao, there is one thing that is interconnected, that is, the head of the row and the drum. When the platoon is released, a large drum will be placed on the wooden platoon, and the drum will be played along the way to get rid of evil spirits. This is the method handed down by Chen Silong, the ancestor of Pai Jiao.

In the eyes of people in the Shudao, the behavior of the leader of the platoon is not so much to beat drums to drive away evil spirits, but to greet the ghosts and gods of all parties who block the way, so that they know that the people who let them out of the platoon have arrived, and everyone is convenient. However, I don't know anything about how to beat the drums.

Mu Dong said: "I heard my grandfather play the drums a few times. The drum sound you hear at the beginning is the open drum; Later, the one that was struck at once was called the Shaking Mountain Drum. What the last paragraph was, I don't know, and my grandfather didn't knock it. ”

Mu Dong's answer was similar to what I guessed.

The opening drum is to say hello; The shaking of the mountain drum is taking stock; The last drum sounded, probably meaning to charge into battle.

After thinking about it, I said as tactfully as possible: "Are there any opponents in your village?" Or have you disappeared from the ranks that have a grudge against the people in the village? ”

Mu Dong still heard what I meant: "You mean, the ghost god who kills people is the leader of our village, right?" I'm telling you, absolutely impossible! The people in the village won't do that! ”

I couldn't see anything to ask, so I simply didn't ask. Since Shen Yinmu has not reached the east, I also have time to look for other clues.

What I didn't expect was that early the next morning, Gao Qun led someone to carry the Shenyin wood outside the courtyard, and called out confidently: "Mu Dong, this wood should have come to you, but your immortal master played tricks and drifted to my house." I can't take it, you have to stay! ”

Ye Sen squinted his eyes and said, "The surname is Gao, I think you want to die, right?" ”

"Want to play sideways again? Tell you, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you! Gao Qun didn't mean to be scared at all, it seemed that he was prepared.

I stepped forward and sneered, "Why do you say that Shen Yin Wood will definitely be able to float to our side?" ”

Gao Qun said stiffly: "Immortal Master Sheng has set up such a big battle to pray for me to bless and drive away evil spirits, it is impossible for Shenyin Wood to float to me!" If you hadn't thrown explosives into the dung pit, how would I have gotten the demons to target you? You're responsible! ”

I snapped, "I'm responsible?" I also put the fence on the river? You've already calculated that you're going to block the Shen Yin Wood, right? ”

"I ...... I ...... "Gao Qun" and "I" didn't say a reason for it for a long time, and finally simply played a scoundrel: "You got Shen Yin Mu over, you can't rely on it!" Brothers, throw the wood down for them, let's go! ”

"Who dare?" Lao Guo Tou walked over from a distance with a group of people: "Gao Qun, Gao Qun, what do you want me to say about you?" There is no shame in being greedy for life and afraid of death, who is not afraid of death? But the rules of the village can't be broken! ”

"When no one dares to get up and look out, you can do things with a clear conscience? I'll tell you, I watched everything that happened last night. You've broken the rules! ”

Lao Guo stomped his feet fiercely and shouted sharply: "Come here, come according to the rules of the village, tie him up, throw him to the Water Temple, and ask the Water God to deal with it!" ”

Gao Qun knelt on the ground with a puff: "Guo Ye, you can't!" I'm old and young, I can't die! ”

Lao Guo Tou shook his head and said, "You can't die, Mu Dong can die?" You think he's an orphan, no worries, and a dead death, right? ”

"He can ...... for the girl"

"I-" Lao Guo Tou spat Gao Qun's face fiercely: "No matter how careless he is, he is still a child." You can't die alone? Saving your life is precious, greedy for life and afraid of death! You've broken the rules of the village! What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and tie him up! ”

"Uncle! Spare me! Uncle—"

After Gao Qun cried and was dragged away, I asked, "Guo Ye, I want to ask, what did you say about letting the Water God deal with Gao Qun?" ”

Lao Guo Tou said: "It is to hang on the beam of the water temple for five days without eating or drinking." As long as he can live, it means that the water god atonement for his sins, and he will be the same in the village in the future, and no one will look down on him. If...... Hey......"

If you hang it for five days, you can't still be alive. Even if they really don't die, their hands will die because they don't have blood for a long time. For a person who eats water rice, losing his hands is no different from killing him.

I looked at the old Guo Tou who bowed his head and said silently, "I think you should let him out." If he dies before the gloomy wooden coffin takes shape, I can't guarantee what will happen next. ”
