Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Thousand Cranes Arrive
Following
The sky is cloudless, and the sun is scorching.
It was noon, the weather was hot and muggy, and Bai Yun and the four-eyed Taoist were hiding in the house to discuss the Taoism.
Hah~
Twitter, twitter, chirping
The birds, which had been hiding in the trees to escape the heat, seemed to sense something, restless, and the birds chirped incessantly.
It seemed to feel that uneasiness getting closer and closer, and in an instant, thousands of birds flew away.
Inside,
Bai Yun looked at the current vision outside the door, which made him frown.
"Uncle Shi, such a different phase, I'm afraid that a demon was born."
Bai Yun knew that this should be the story of the Thousand Crane Daoist escorting zombies passing by, but he couldn't say it clearly, otherwise it would be difficult for Uncle Shi to explain how he knew when he asked.
"But I have regularly cleaned up the demons around the dojo, and it stands to reason that there should be no too strong demons around, unless they are from other places."
The four-eyed Taoist is not a vegetarian, and for him who often chases corpses nearby, he has cleaned up all the demons around the dojo that have become a climate, after all, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore.
But now, an ominous aura is coming to my face, and I don't know if it's coming for him.
However, even if the demon comes at him, it doesn't matter, after all, the nephew of Baiyun and the monk Yixiu, who are not weaker than him, are here, if this demon comes to seek revenge, then he will be unlucky.
……
boom
Knock knock~
Suddenly a drum beat from far and near,
Bai Yun, who had been looking at the door, and the four-eyed Taoist rushed out of the door as soon as they heard a movement, followed by Jia Le.
Looking to the left, Master Ikkyu and Jingjing also heard the sound and stood at the door.
Bai Yun looked at the road where he came that day, and there was a team of ten or twenty people walking slowly towards them.
This group of people is quite strange, the first two people are carrying flags, and seven or eight people are pushing a coffin with a cart, looking very difficult, I don't know why they don't use animal power to pull the cart.
Four people carried a child in a small sedan chair, and someone in the back pushed a small box with a small cart that they didn't know what to hold.
is in the Republic of China, and he is still wearing Manchu clothes, and he looks like a remnant of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Senior brother!"
A man dressed as a Taoist priest in the team greeted him when he saw the four-eyed Taoist chief.
Seeing that it was his junior brother Qianhe, the four-eyed Taoist chief led everyone forward.
"Senior Brother" "Senior Brother"
"Uncle Shi" ×2
"Thousand Crane Daoist, Amitabha!"
Master Ikyu also stepped forward to greet Michitsuru with a smile on his face when he saw Chizuru Michi.
"Master Ikkyu!"
A few people gathered around and were about to chat for a while, when suddenly a sharp voice interrupted several people.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! What are you doing here? Next to the sedan chair, a person wrapped his head in a cloth, like the girls at the gate of Yihong Courtyard, waved to several people with a handkerchief.
Hearing this person's question, Daoist Qianhe hurriedly turned around and explained, "Steward Wu, I'll borrow some glutinous rice from Senior Brother." ”
"Glutinous rice?"
The steward cocked his orchid fingers with both hands, pinching his handkerchief with some doubts.
When the child in the sedan chair saw that it had stopped, he said, "Wu Shilang, let's take a rest!" ”
"Alright! Let's all rest! Come on! Wu Shilang beckoned everyone who carried the sedan chair to rest, and signaled to the head of the Thousand Crane Road and the others to hurry up!
The four-eyed Taoist chief glanced at Jia Le and ordered, "Jia Le, go and get some glutinous rice for Uncle Shi." ”
"Yes, Master."
Knorr answered, and turned back to get it.
The four-eyed Taoist leader stepped forward to look at the unusual coffin, his face solemn.
"The bronze horn and gold coffin are wrapped in an ink fountain net, is it inside..."
"Yes, it's a zombie!"
Chizuru confirmed the four-eyed Michicho guess.
"Then why didn't you burn it? Zombies have no humanity and may be finished if you are not careful. ”
Qianhe is also an old man, how can he not know the danger of zombies, the four-eyed Taoist pointed to the coffin and wondered.
It's not up to him to decide whether to burn it or not, and he can only agree to the employer's request as much as possible, and the head of the Thousand Crane Daoist said helplessly: "This zombie is the royal family of the frontier and can't be burned, we have to transport it to Beijing as soon as possible and wait for the emperor's whereabouts." ”
"They only have two or three provinces left, so what are they doing with this kind of energy to transport zombies all the way back to Beijing?
Aren't these remnants of the old era thinking about how to regain their territory, and what are they doing when they transport zombies back, to clean up these evil demons. ”
"Shhhh Master Baiyun, it doesn't matter to us what they do, I'm just helping them transport this zombie back. ”
Qianhe put his index finger on his lips and motioned to Baiyun to be quiet, saving himself from causing trouble, after all, the most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes is to make less trouble.
Master Ikkyu circled around the coffin and said to the Chizuru Daoist: "Chizuru Daoist, why don't you dismantle the tent and let it absorb more sunlight and reduce the corpse qi?" ”
Michitsuru Michichi glanced at the tent on the coffin and felt that Master Ikyu had some point.
"Master Ikyu is right, thank you for your advice!"
"Uncle Qianhe, the weather in the south is changeable, the sky is clear one second, and the next second it may be stormy.
If you don't have time to put up the tent and the corpse gas doesn't decrease much, then the torrential rain will dilute the ink on the inkfountain net, causing the zombies to escape. ”
Just as he was about to recruit his apprentice to dismantle the tent, the Thousand Crane Daoist suddenly heard Bai Yun's words, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he held back the words he had just wanted to say.
"It's still Baiyun's nephew who is thoughtful!"
Seeing that Yixiu's suggestion was questioned by Bai Yun, the four-eyed Taoist sneered.
"Do you think we don't know, I just didn't say it because I knew it was risky. It's like some people haven't figured it out, there is one thing to say, and there are many mistakes. ”
Seeing that he didn't react to the ridicule, the four-eyed Taoist suddenly felt bored.
Jia Le, who had just gone to get glutinous rice, trotted to Uncle Chizuru and handed over a small bag of glutinous rice.
"Uncle Shi, the glutinous rice you asked for is here."
Reaching out to take the cloth bag, Chizuru turned his head and thanked the four-eyed chief.
"Senior brother, thank you."
"You're welcome, I hope you don't need this bag of glutinous rice." Simu said with some concern.
……
"Hey~ It's time to go, and so much more! Let's go, let's go! ”
Wu Shilang urged impatiently.
After stopping for so long, if it is any later, I may not be able to make it to the next station tonight, and then I will have to sleep in the wilderness.
"Alright, let's go!"
While putting the glutinous rice in his hand into his pocket, the Taoist Chizuru beckoned his disciples to get up.
"I won't delay you, junior brother, there will be a period later." Seeing that Chizuru was really not available, the four-eyed Taoist said.
"Senior brother, master, there will be a period later!"
"Senior Nephew Baiyun, say hello to Senior Brother Xuanxin on my behalf! Leave! ”
"There will be a date later!"
Everyone saluted and said goodbye one by one.
……
The team pushed the coffin past several people, and Knorr looked at the coffin and said, "This coffin is very beautiful, it must be very valuable!" ”
"Of course, it's made of gold."
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely work hard to make money and buy an identical pair of filial piety to your old man."
Jia Le didn't know that the copper horn golden coffin was used to trap zombies, and the four-eyed Taoist stared at Jia Le when he heard this, and his face turned black.
Master Yixiu snickered all over his face, glanced at the four-eyed Taoist, and said to Jia Le: "You are quite filial." ”
Hahahaha......
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and left with a smile!
"Knorr, the bronze horn and golden coffin are used to hold zombies."
Bai Yun kindly reminded.
"Ahh When Jia Le heard this, he looked up at the master, and sure enough, he found that the master's face was black.
At this moment, Knorr felt that his life was bleak.
Bang~
Thundered~
Thunder sounded!
Thunder on a sunny day seems to be a sign of bad luck.
The four-eyed Michicho looked worriedly in the direction where Chizuru had left.
"Well, I hope they're okay..."
"Let's go! Let's go back too! ”
