Chapter 33: Night

"Zhao Gongzi, please come in."

Zhao Bin was uneasy in his heart, he chased the county order outside just now, but the county commander trembled and didn't say a word, and left with those black-clothed officials.

At this time, when he heard the sound of the call in the house, he was also hesitant for a while. The old servant on the side shook his head vigorously and signaled his son-in-law not to go in.

"Childe, the situation in the house is unknown, don't go in."

The old servant's face was sad, and he sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that this is really a wave of unsettled waves in the family.

"Childe ......"

At this time, Zhao Si walked over.

He explained the situation to his son-in-law, saying that the two people in the house were brought by himself, and they were the immortal chiefs who came to subdue demons and subdue demons, and they made it clear that they didn't want a bounty.

"I see."

Zhao Bin, the son of the Zhao family, stood up, he tidied up his clothes slightly, and then walked into the room with the worried eyes of the old servant.

"Two immortal elders, Zhao Bin is polite."

Zhao Gongzi is worthy of being born in a rich family, even if he is still a little flustered in his heart, he has not lost his manners.

As soon as he entered, he saw two men of his own age.

One is a black-clothed swordsman with a long knife in his arms and a strong suit.

One is a golden-crowned immortal sitting indifferently and wearing a robe.

"You may be seated."

Xia Zhician pointed to the seat opposite him:

"Zhao Gongzi, you don't have to be so uneasy. The two of us are here to rid your family of evil things, and we have no bad intentions. ”

Zhao Bin sat down, of course he wouldn't really let down his guard because of the other party's words, but after all, he saw that the other party was a reasonable person, not the fierce and evil person he thought in his heart.

I was still a little relieved.

"Thank you two immortal elders, but I don't know where the two of you are practicing in the cave?"

Zhao Bin said this in order to find out the details of the other party. These famous warlocks will look for some places with beautiful mountains and rivers to practice, so as to enhance their image as a high-ranking immortal.

Xia Zhician took out the golden seal from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Bin, the son of the Zhao family.

Zhao Bin has seen the golden seal, just now this thing flew out and smashed a big bag on the forehead of the county order, and after the county order saw this golden seal, it was like seeing a ghost, and he was so frightened that he panicked and urinated.

"Heavenly officials bless and there are no taboos."

Zhao Bin looked at the vigorous handwriting on the front, and then turned it over and saw the small characters engraved on the back. The content of those words indicates the identity of Xia Zhicicada.

"It turned out to be ...... Lord Lingguan, the villain is really disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Zhao Bin actually still had doubts, after all, the Lingguan lineage was not as famous as the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and there were few legends about them in the rivers and lakes.

But since the people confidently took out the golden seal to prove their identity, coupled with the frightened performance of the previous county order, it should show the authenticity of Xia Zhiciao's identity.

Zhao Bin hurriedly respectfully handed back Xia Zhiciao's golden seal, then stood up and saluted Xia Zhician again:

"I didn't know the identity of the adult before, I was offended, and I ask for forgiveness."

"Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to be polite."

Xia Zhician actually saw that Zhao Bin still didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't care too much, but waved his hand casually.

"I wonder when Lord Lingguan will be able to eliminate demons for my family?"

"In three days' time the demon will come, and I will capture him."

Zhao Bin nodded, and just opened his mouth to say something else, when he heard Xia Zhician continue:

"As for your father, he is just overly frightened, just find a Lang Zhong to prescribe a few calming decoctions."

"Uh...... Thank you, Lord Lingguan. ”

What Zhao Bin wanted to ask just now was his seriously ill father, but when he saw that the other party said it without waiting for him to ask, he believed a little more in Xia Zhiciao's identity.

……

The golden black falls, and the jade rabbit rises.

The black curtain of the night has just been lifted, and the bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are shining brightly.

Under such a night scene, there are people with bad intentions.

Two arm-thick red candles swayed from side to side in the autumn wind, and the ever-changing light enveloped the entire altar.

The three-pillar fragrance was lit by a candle in the hands of the old Taoist Qi Si Niu, and a wisp of green smoke soared up.

"Heavenly Spirit Spirit, Earth Spirit Spirit, Nine Heavens Exorcism Ancestor Quickly Manifest ......"

With words in his mouth, Lao Dao inserted the three pillars of incense into the incense burner in front of him.

He wore his hair loose and held a brand-new peachwood sword in his hand.

Step on the foot and recite the mantra silently.

Syllable!

The peachwood sword stretched forward and dipped lightly on the altar.

Countless pieces of yellow paper flew out and wrapped around the body of the peachwood sword, and then Lao Dao stretched the sword to the candle flame, and the flames that rose made the entire sword body burn.

Cracking sound.

There was a hidden sound of wind and thunder, resounding on the body of the peachwood sword.

Strange to say, the flames did not ignite the body of the peachwood sword, and the yellow talismans that burned out only left black lines on the body of the sword that twisted and entwined like spider webs.

"In vain!"

The old man shouted.

Immediately after the sound of hurried footsteps, several young Taoists ran out of the house, each holding a dark clay pot in their hands.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

The little Taoist boys threw the clay pot in their hands in front of the altar of the old way, and then burrowed back into the house without looking back.

With the sound of the clay pot cracking, clouds of black and yellow smoke rose.

"Woo woo woo ......" the woman's cry.

"Hahaha......" the man's laughter.

"Quack, quack, quack......" weird roar.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled down, and when it fell on this courtyard, it dissolved as if it had been swallowed by something.

Like the first snow in the middle of winter, I saw the midsummer in June.

"Phew! You wait for the lonely souls and ghosts, why don't you kneel when you see this immortal! ”

Lao Dao glared at him, and his left hand swiped lightly on the peachwood sword.

Cracking sound.

Silver-white lightning poured out from the body of the peachwood sword, and the arc flickered and sent a sonic boom through the air.

"Hahaha, just rely on you, a stinky Taoist priest......"

Out of a cloud of pitch-black smoke emerged the face of a man, with no eyebrows, no eyes, and only a simple outline of his facial features.

The other smoke also emerged in its own contour shape. Some are rickety old men, some are legless women, some are young babies and strange beasts.

Without exception, they all raised their heads and swallowed, and the moonlight sprinkled from the sky fell into their mouths like melting snow, and then disappeared.

The sun is pure yang, and the moon is pure yin.

For these ghosts who can only walk at night, the moonlight in the sky is a great supplement, and only by devouring the moonlight all year round can they improve their cultivation over time.

They were all sealed in clay pots, and they hadn't seen Yuehua for many years.

Click!

A thunderbolt of silver light galloped out along the sword body, directly splitting the black mist male ghost who had just made a joke into a cloud of flying ashes.

Ahh

Lao Dao stroked his beard with his left hand, held a peachwood sword in his right hand, and the autumn wind blew his robe swaying with the wind.

Puff, puff.

The candles on the altar flickered, and in front of the old Tao was a large kneeling block.

"The immortals spare their lives, and we are willing to listen to the drive."

"Hmm."

Lao Dao squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, and he pointed the peachwood sword forward.

The clouds of smoke kneeling on the ground trembled like chaff, for fear that the terrible thunder just now would suddenly smash into his head.

"Listen, go to the west courtyard of the Zhao family tonight and kill all the people in the house, leaving no one behind."

As he spoke, it was three points colder than the cold wind of the early autumn night.

"When this is done, I will set you free......"

"Yes, follow the instructions of the Immortal Chief."

The smoke agreed in unison, some of them flew up the smoke and flew to Zhao's house, while others hid in the shadows and disappeared.

Lao Dao pinched the peachwood sword and let out a few sneers.

As his eyes flickered, a dark black mist slowly rose, filling his entire pupil with black.

Murderous, jealous, greedy.

The three hearts immediately started, and all the righteous Dao hearts he had cultivated over the years were demonized. The most important thing for a cultivator is to keep his heart and not be bewitched by desires.

One thought is born, and all evil is done.

The old way has entered the demon path because of today's thought. He is now full of desire to kill the two people who made him make a fool of himself, then kill the entire Zhao family, loot all the money, and finally kill the county magistrate, and become the county magistrate himself.

Once you enter the demonic path, you will be controlled by your own terrible paranoia, and you will do many things that are completely unreasonable.

……

The Zhao family's compound, in the bedroom of the Zhao family's master.

"Oops......"

Master Zhao was lying on the bed, with a cooling towel on his forehead, he pinched his temple with his left hand, and his mouth kept screaming in pain.

There was a creak, and the bedroom door was opened.

Zhao Bin and an old servant with a decoction medicine walked in.

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

Zhao Bin personally served the decoction, first tasted it himself to make sure that the decoction was no longer hot, and then handed it to his father's mouth.

"Bin'er, what kind of sin have you done for your father. Why did you say your sister was ......?"

Old Man Zhao sighed with a sad face.

"Dad, it's okay. Come, take the medicine first, and the most important thing is to take care of your body. ”

Under Zhao Bin's persuasion, Master Zhao drank the decoction.

Hand the medicine bowl to the old servant and let him leave first.

After that, only the father and son were left in the room, Zhao Bin hesitated for a while, and he was seen by Master Zhao with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"Bin'er, just say something, is there anything between father and son?"

Master Zhao waved his hand and motioned to his son to just say it.

"Father has seen a wide range of knowledge, so do you know the 'five-colored spirit official'......"

Zhao Bin sat on the stool next to the bed, and he roughly told his father what happened during the day today.

In fact, it was still that question, and he had concerns about Xia Zhicicada, who was of unknown origin.

"One year for my father, I went to the capital of our Daqi to sell Shu brocade, and I heard the merchants in the capital mention it. It is said that the Lingguan lineage is a mysterious sect that can compete with the Taoist sect of Longhu Mountain and the Buddhist sect of Wanfo Mountain......"

Master Zhao is worthy of going south and north for many years, and his knowledge is indeed far-reaching.

"Longhu Mountain, Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain...... Aren't they all the fairy gates where the legendary immortals are? ”

Zhao Bin's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears.

"yes...... My father remembers that a friend in the capital once mentioned that when the spiritual officer walks the rivers and lakes, it seems that the court will have a golden seal given by the emperor......"

Master Zhao may have drunk the medicine, his head began to stop hurting, and the memories of his youth came up little by little, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Golden Seal!"

Zhao Bin nodded dumbly, he had seen the gold seal engraved with his identity.

"yes, what's wrong with you, Bin'er?"

Zhao Bin didn't know what expression he should show, and his face stiffened:

"The Golden Seal...... I've seen it. ”

……

Whew-

The autumn wind pierced through the treetops, making a sound like crying.

Outside the wing room in the west courtyard, clouds of black or yellow smoke gathered.

Or an old man, or a beautiful woman, or a ghost baby, or a monster.

In the autumn wind, mixed with a voice that could not distinguish between men and women, he whispered:

"We ...... Let's go to the ...... All of them...... Kill them all! ”

"Kill...... Light! ”

The autumn breeze blows on the doors and windows at night, making a sound like banging on the door.

Inside the house, Xia Zhiciao, who was meditating cross-legged, frowned.

It's like a cool night in the middle of summer, sleepiness wells up, your eyelids sink, and you are about to fall asleep when you suddenly hear the annoying buzzing of mosquitoes in your ears.

Stretch out your finger and flick it on the gold crown above your head.

Dingβ€”β€”

The annoying "mosquitoes" outside the house crackled and fell to the ground.
