It didn't stop for almost a moment, even on the dark mountain road, Zhou Weimin didn't dare to step on the brakes, the shadow in the reflector was too scary, what if he chased it out.

rushed all the way to the county seat, stopped the car at the door of the Shentai store, and the mobile phone showed that it was almost eleven o'clock. At this time, he found that there were more than a dozen missed calls on his phone, and even the usual chat APP was a variety of red message prompts.

When I clicked on it, it was a phone call from my mother and words of concern. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Weimin still used the chat app to reply to a message, briefly covered it up, and told her that she would sleep in the hotel tonight.

There is no nightlife in the small county town, and the dim street lamps on both sides of the road can't give him a sense of security, standing on the empty street, Zhou Weimin couldn't help but shiver, and after thinking about it, he went directly to the back of the Shentai store.

Just like he remembered, the back of the Shentai store was only one meter seven or eight meters above the ground, and there was a square ventilation window with a size of no more than fifty centimeters leading directly to the toilet.

The whole person came in head-down, and he almost fell headlong into the toilet pit, but fortunately no one came here for a long time, and the ground was still dry.

After taking a breath, Zhou Weimin slowly got up, turned around and locked the window, and then walked out of the toilet.

Directly opposite the toilet door was a sink with a piece of glass on it, and Zhou Weimin's hazy silhouette was reflected in the black glass, which made him shudder involuntarily.

Walked straight to the outermost part of the Sanjin façade, where various gods were placed undoubtedly gave Zhou Weimin a lot of courage, and the moment he turned on the light, his whole person relaxed.

I found a few incense sticks in the cabinet, and he devoutly put on three incense sticks in front of the Lotus Hand Bodhisattva, that is, Guanyin Bodhisattva.

In his mouth, he even muttered: "When sentient beings are in distress, they recite their names, and the Bodhisattva immediately observes their sounds, there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south..."

I don't know if it's the incense or the reason for chanting, Zhou Weimin's whole person gradually calmed down, and it seems that the shadow of Xiayang Village is gradually fading.

I took off the string of Buddhist beads on my neck, and looked carefully at it through the light, there were a total of eighteen black Buddhist beads, all of which were exactly the same size, and they looked black, and there was no obvious difference from ordinary Buddha beads, but there was one in the hole of its string, you could see a little gray trace.

I don't know if one of them is a bone bead or the entire eighteen, Zhou Weimin couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only wear this string of Buddhist beads around his neck again.

Looking at the incense sticks burning in front of him, a thought suddenly popped into his mind, and then he took root tightly.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready, Zhou Weimin lay quietly in the middle of the triangle, holding three burning incense sticks tightly in his hands, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Supreme Xuanhuang Chengtian Jianguo Ascension Blessing Lingyou King."

The incense sticks continued to burn, and as Zhou Weimin chanted in a low voice, the smoke from the three incense sticks drifted upwards in three straight lines, and when the smoke drifted to a height of two meters above the ground, the smoke was divided into three, drawing an oblique line, and falling towards the three vertices of the triangle.

The smoke falls to the vertex and then follows the three sides of the triangle against the ground, from one vertex to the other, and so on. New smoke kept falling and piling up on it, and the moment the incense burned out, the smoke formed a smoke shroud about two meters high, enveloping him all over the place.

Holding the incense stick tightly with only bamboo sticks left, Zhou Weimin swallowed her saliva, and just lay down quietly waiting for the result, with expectation, uneasiness, panic, and nervousness in her heart.

The billowing smoke was like thick clouds on the eve of a rainstorm, constantly accumulating, and the flickering candlelight at the three vertices loomed in the smoke, like an occasional flash of electric light.

At this moment, he felt that the smoke above him was rolling and seemed to be pressed down, and the whole person suddenly felt like falling into the water, surrounded by a sense of suffocation, and all kinds of dull chanting sounded in his head at the same time.

Those voices were loud or small, and they sounded layer upon layer, and Zhou Weimin couldn't help but listen to them, as if they were directly emitted in the cochlea, which made people feel irritable.

After a few seconds, the voices were louder, like a sleepy person who had been carried to the vegetable market, and his whole head was about to explode.

Zhou Weimin was completely unprepared for this sudden situation, he struggled hard, wanting to raise his hand to block his ears, but there was no place in his body and limbs to obey his command, he could only lie still, unable to move, and withstand the constant impact of those turbulent chanting.

His eyes were closed, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and even the muscles on his neck were bruised, and he felt so uncomfortable that he felt like a mouthful of thick phlegm in his chest, and the whole person was about to be suffocated.

"Shut up! Don't read it! ”

Zhou Weimin roared angrily in his heart, venting his crazy emotions, he felt that his tense nerves were about to break!

The next moment, all the sounds dissipated at the same time, the whole world returned to calm, all the unbearable pain faded like a tide, Zhou Weimin took a big breath, and a pleasure of relaxation surged into his heart.

Before he could open his eyes, he felt his whole body float, and then it continued to spin as if it had been swept up by the wind. His head hit his knees, and his hands touched his heels.

Another wave of nausea, like motion sickness, churned out from his stomach, and he threw it out, until he vomited a river and a sea.

I don't know how long it took to vomit, but it seemed that after the stomach was completely emptied, Zhou Weimin fell to the side in a dejected manner.

Lying weakly on the ground, he looked up at the top of his head, and a question arose, where is this?

It was like a very quaint room, with red wooden beams crisscrossing the top and layers of the usual black tiles above it.

Struggling to sit up, he looked around and found that this place was very similar to the ancient place where the official office held a trial like he saw in the TV series, and it was quiet all around, as if he was the only one here.

"Hey! Anyone? ”

Zhou Weimin walked along the surrounding walls with his weak legs, and after shouting a few times, he could only give up helplessly, this room was only forty or fifty square meters, except for a long table and a chair for interrogating prisoners in the front, there were two screens on both sides.

Behind the long table, there was a passage on the left and right sides, but those passages were shrouded in billowing smoke, like an invisible glass wall, and it was impossible to enter.

On the other side of the long table, there was a wooden door that seemed to be pushable, and he did not dare to open it at present, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

This is the Qi Realm? Zhou Weimin groaned in her heart for a moment, then walked behind the only wooden table and slowly sat down on the chair.

The originally wide Taishi chair, after Zhou Weimin sat down, unconsciously shrank several times, inexplicably fitting his figure, and then on the wooden table in front of him, a burst of smoke surged, and a rectangular booklet with a white cloud pattern cover on a red background and gilded edging appeared.

Puzzled, I opened the booklet, and on the first page, I wrote two sentences like poems and couplets in ancient seals - 'The gods and tigers fly to the sky to punish the evil, and the spirit of the ten thousand demons is bundled in the town'.

When I opened the second page, the pen and ink on it seemed to be alive, constantly swimming on the paper, sometimes melting into ink balls, sometimes scattering into stars, until the first page was completely pasted on the book cover, and the ink gradually stabilized and turned into four words: 'Chenghuang is temporarily missing'.

What do you mean? This is the City God Temple? But there is no Chenghuang?

According to the doubts in his heart, Zhou Weimin continued to turn backwards, and two or three pages in a row were exactly the same as the second page, but the official positions were different, and the back was marked as temporary vacancy without exception.

It wasn't until page 6 that the three names 'Prison, Torture Temple, and Treasury' appeared. There is a blank behind the first two names, only there are some objects registered with ancient seals in the library, but Zhou Weimin doesn't know any of them.

Gently closed the book, and before he could think about it, there was another puff of smoke rolling on the table, and a faint red light was faintly seen flickering inside.

After a few seconds, the red light turned into a boxy official seal, Zhou Weimin tried to reach out to take it, but he didn't move, and there was even a slight pain that was pricked by a sewing needle, so he couldn't help but quickly let go of his hand.

It seems that he should not be qualified enough to touch this official seal, Zhou Weimin couldn't help but think. Maybe you still have to start from the scripture left by your grandmother and learn more about what the situation is in the Qi world.

This room seems to have nowhere else to look at at the present, Zhou Weimin according to what the scriptures say, silently chanted 'Supreme Xuanhuang Chengtian Jianguo Shengfu Lingyou King', stepped on the triangular path under his feet, and after walking seven times in a row, the whole person suddenly felt a sinking and fell down involuntarily.

The next moment, there was another overwhelming feeling of dizziness, and then as if someone had been fished out of the water, I opened my eyes again and returned to the Shentai store.

The triangle remains in place, but the three candles at the apex have each turned into a mass of wax.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Weimin picked up a broom and a dustpan to clean up the incense ash and residual wax marks that had been spilled on the ground, and used a wet mop to wipe off the traces of the triangle by the way, and then ran to the toilet to wipe the gold paint on his eyebrows with alcohol.

After inserting three incense sticks in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva again, Zhou Weimin found a reclining chair and lay down sleepily.

Before falling asleep, he made up his mind that early tomorrow morning, he would go to Hetang Street and take out the scriptures in the wooden box and read them carefully.
