Chapter 5 The paper man blocks the way, and the dream demon is recited
"I'm hungry, eat something to pad my stomach."
Mrs. Bai took out the six steamed buns and pickles that were left over from yesterday, and said, "Deal with it first, I'll cook later, you eat first, I'll go to the kitchen to wash my hands." ”
"Thank you, Madame Bai."
Li Daotong was not polite at all, picked up a steamed bun and ate it with pickles.
Zhang Yuanmian's mind was still on the incident last night: "Something must be wrong, there is a big problem in this village, didn't you see the chaos last night, mutual beating, and violence." ”
The little eunuch was puzzled: "National teacher, didn't you say that you also kicked the village chief?" But we didn't look like he was hurt just now? ”
Zhang Yuanmian said: "This is what I don't understand. ”
"Senior brother, you can tell me in detail about last night's incident, and I will analyze and analyze it, and I may be able to deduce the problem." Wang Daotong, who had been frowning and thinking, touched his chin and said.
"Okay, I'll elaborate." Zhang Yuanmian was overjoyed.
Because Wang Daotong finally spoke, Zhang Yuanmian unintentionally heard the master say that Wang Daotong went to Deyunguan from Beijing to study and learn, and he must have seen a wide range of worlds, and there may be a solution.
"Here's the thing, I slept on the grass for a while last night, and when I woke up, I lay on the bed, tied hand and foot by Madame Bai."
The little eunuch listened carefully with his chin against his chin.
Wang Daotong pondered.
Li Daotong had just finished eating a steamed bun and reached out to take the second one.
Zhang Yuanmian said: "Mrs. Bai is still holding a child in her arms, which is her own child...... The corners of my mouth are full of blood, my eyes are scarlet, and I still ask if I want to eat? Shock, you say? ”
The little eunuch and Wang Daotong continued to listen.
Li Daotong reached out for the third bun.
Zhang Yuanmian continued: "In my hurry, the sword qi exploded, cut off the strip of cloth that bound me, and pushed Madame Bai out of the door...... Some villagers hugged other people's daughters-in-law and kissed and kissed. ”
The little eunuch and Wang Daotong listened with horror on their faces.
Li Daotong stretched out his hands, took the fourth and fifth buns, and ate them with pickles.
Zhang Yuanmian said: "What's more...... Can you think about this obscene picture? The loss of humanity, the degradation of morality. ”
Li Daotong reached out for the last bun.
The little eunuch said: "I didn't expect it to be so terrible. ”
Wang Daotong touched his chin and said: "What's even more terrifying is that there is chaos at night, normal during the day, and the villagers don't have any memory. ”
Zhang Yuanmian and the little eunuch asked, "What do you say?" ”
"At the moment I only have a little eyebrows, and I'm not sure yet, unless I can see last night with my own eyes."
"Will last night's scene be repeated?"
"If I'm not mistaken, I'll reappear, and see, if I can recreate yesterday tonight, I'll know why."
"It is worthy of coming from Beijing, and seeing the world is wide." Zhang Yuanmian was full of praise for him, "It's hard work, junior brother Wang, come, eat a steamed bun to cushion your stomach." ”
He reached out for the steamed buns on the plate and took them empty, "Where are the steamed buns?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Daotong Li Fengxiao.
Seeing that he picked up the last pickle with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, he said with a puzzled face: "Yes, what about the steamed buns, I don't feel like I have started eating it yet, why is it gone?" ”
Mrs. Bai, who had just come back from washing her hands, frowned and looked at the empty plates, "Did I come out without steamed buns, I'm not sure, let's go to the kitchen and take a look." ”
……
Time flies, and night is coming.
Lori kiln village entrance.
There are Zhang Yuanmian, Mrs. Bai, the little eunuch, Daotong Wang Dalong and Li Fengxiao, and three children.
Zhang Yuanmian said: "Act according to the plan." I, Wang Dalong and Li Fengyan all have martial arts, let's go into the village to investigate the situation, you just wait outside, don't come in no matter what happens. ”
Then wait quietly for the night to fall.
Soon, darkness came like a tidal wave, annihilating the day, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be dyed with a black veil.
Night falls.
Zhang Yuanmian drove the carriage and slowly drove into the village, and the moment he entered the village, the others disappeared in place.
Appeared in the White Lady's bed.
Just like last night, her hands and feet were still tied with strips of cloth, and the only difference was that Mrs. Bai in the room yesterday was replaced by the village chief.
The village chief with a mouth full of old yellow teeth smiled, his mouth was full of blood, and he said with a smile:
"Husband, do you want to eat? Oh, forgot, you're tied up and can't move,
"Vomit ......"
Zhang Yuanmian almost threw up.
Quickly mobilized the sword qi in his body, cut off the strips of cloth that bound his hands and feet, jumped up, and beat the disgusting village chief.
"It's disgusting." Zhang Yuanmian left the room and walked out, there was still chaos outside, except for the story of the village chief, everything else was exactly the same as last night.
More than a dozen villagers had scarlet eyes, beat each other with hoes in their hands, and were covered in blood, "The pumpkin is mine, whoever grabs it, kills whom." ”
The two women pulled each other's hair: "You slut, dare to seduce my husband and eat my punch." ”
In the distance on the pile of straw, there was a group of men and women.
Zhang Yuanmian stopped watching, and hurriedly looked for Daotong Wang Dalong and Li Fengxiao.
They were as confused as yesterday.
"Wake up." Zhang Yuanmian instigated two slaps on the face.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Unlike yesterday, Liangdaotong already has a sense of vigilance, even if there is no Zhang Yuanmian's slap, he can bite the tip of his tongue and wake up.
The two woke up in a daze, and Li Fengyan said, "Why do you feel that your face is hot?" ”
After a few slaps, can it not be hot?
Zhang Yuanmian "cough" covered up the past, pointed to the surrounding pictures, and said: "Senior Brother Wang, the scene last night has reappeared, as you guessed, you know what's going on, right?" ”
Wang Dalonghuan stared at the chaos in the village and said, "Violence, blood, anger, resentment, fornication...... Now I can be completely sure that something is wrong with this village, this village is targeted by monsters, using all kinds of people's grievances, blood and emotions as a net, weaving dreams, to strengthen themselves, the world we are in now is actually a dream world woven by monsters using the villagers, no wonder it can return to normal during the day, I see. ”
"What kind of monster is this, and how do we break the game?"
"This kind of monster is called the Dream Demon, if you want to break the game, you have to find the hiding place of the monster, it may have an entity, let's be careful."
"Let's split up, I'll go this way."
Zhang Yuanmian walked to another place and didn't find it after looking for a long time.
Just as he was about to go back, he asked the two boys if they had found it, when he suddenly felt that someone was following him, and he sped up, turned the corner, and jumped on top of a thatched hut.
I saw a dozen strangers sneaking after me in the alley.
"Who are you, I have never seen you in the village." Zhang Yuanmian can be sure that these are definitely not people from the village.
"Kill."
Five of them jumped up, intending to destroy Zhang Yuanmian.
Zhang Yuanmian slashed out with a sword, slashing the five people who jumped up to death with a sword, to his surprise, there was no bloodshed, but instead turned into paper figures.
It was the first time he had seen this kind of paper figure trick, and if he didn't guess wrong, the others might also be paper figures.
"Who are you?" Zhang Yuanmian's face was solemn.
"Kill."
It's still one word.
Many paper figures began to besiege Zhang Yuanmian.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuanmian's basic swordsmanship was not bad, and when another sword went out, he fell to the ground one after another, turning into paper figures, and almost instantly there were only two of the more than ten paper figures left.
The two paper figures turned around and ran, at a fast speed.
Zhang Yuanmian chased after him, and shouted at the same time: "Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Wang, come here, there is a paper man here." ”
The two boys had already heard the sound of the fight, and were hurrying here, when they happened to see the two paper figures running outside, and they were about to stop them.
"Don't stop them."
"Got it."
Both Dao Tong understood what the senior brother meant, that is, he wanted the paper man to lead them to the caster.
The three chased all the way.
Chasing and chasing, they came to the Puliu River, and the two paper figures committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Zhang Yuanmian noticed a small boat in the Puliu River, and on the bow stood a monster with a human body and a bull's head.
The monster was stunned: "What the hell, how did you find me?" ”
It knew last night that the national teacher and his party passed through Lori Kiln Village, and it had the idea of running away, but it didn't expect the national teacher to leave, so it thought about continuing to stay in the village.
I didn't expect the national teacher to return again, so I planned to run away tonight after the last vote, and continue to plague another village.
Wang Dalong said: "It's going to run away, this thing will definitely hurt people again, senior brother, please use your sword to cut it." ”
"It's so far away that my sword can't cut it."
Zhang Yuanmian was a little embarrassed, because the Dream Demon had already crossed the river and had reached the center of the river, and he might not be able to see the demon shadow for a while.
At this distance, if you can advance to the ninth rank of kendo, you may be able to give it a try.
"Hahaha." The Dream Demon laughed wildly, "At this distance, you can't cut me, don't waste your efforts, go back and sleep well." National teacher, there will be a period later, we will see you again, see you next time, I hope I can use your head as a wine glass. ”
"It's too arrogant, senior brother, take out your sword and kill him."
"It's too far away."
"You are a white-clothed sword god, what is this distance, a sword out, not to mention opening the world, cutting off the river is not a big problem."
"I'll try."
Zhang Yuanmian tried to draw his sword to cut off the river.
The Dream Demon became nervous, and hurriedly rowed and ran to the opposite side.
But the next moment, I saw that Zhang Yuanmian did not cut off the river, but only splashed a wave more than ten meters high.
"Hahaha, laugh at me, you sword god is so good, but it's in vain, the next time I see you, I have the confidence to use your head as a wine glass."
"I'm." Wang Dalong gritted his teeth, "Just let it run away like this, hateful." ”
"Hahaha, don't be angry, the head of a young man is white, failure is the mother of success, I'll go first, you guys slowly scold the street."
The Dream Demon was in a very happy mood, probably seeing them deflated, "Cool, in this situation, you should drink wine and eat meat to celebrate." ”
The Dream Demon took out a small wine jar and took a sip, "Tsk, it's so cool." ”
Then he faced Zhang Yuanmian and the three of them, as if he was respecting the dead, and sprinkled wine on the bow of the boat three times, "National teacher, farewell, see you next time, please be careful of your head." ”
Wang Dalong and Li Fengxiao were so angry that they stomped their feet, but the distance was too far for them to catch up, and they couldn't kill them.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanmian slowly spoke:
"I can still let you go."
This monster is too arrogant, Zhang Yuanmian has to give it a little color to see.
