All eyes on you.

The atmosphere is up.

A steady stream of people came, and after they came, they knelt down at Xie Toad, and the rural road was quickly blocked, Wang Qilin looked at it and saw a bunch of back of his head.

One of them had a small and black back of his head, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Eight Meows.

Eight Meow mixed in the crowd and also knelt down stupidly.

Wang Qilin went up and took it out, pointed at Xie Toad and said, "Who do you see they are kneeling in? What are you learning from them?"

Eight Meow struggles: Let go of me, I can still kneel!

Xie Toad stood proudly, gusts of wind swept by, his wide sleeves kept flying, his gray beard kept swaying, from his hair to his shoes, it was full of fairy wind bones, and there was even more feather clothes between his gestures.

The conjuring is over, and the summoning begins.

"Xianyou lock the pillar, the corpse dog returns to its place!"

The fourth yellow paper figure quickly burned.

Then the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, and everything went well.

Until the last yellow paper villain.

With Xie Toad's shout, 'Xianyou lock the pillar, non-poisonous return', the tenth yellow paper villain lay quietly in the bowl, and he didn't stand up and burn.

Xie Toad looked left and right, and shouted again: "Xianyou lock the pillar, non-poisonous return!"

Hearing this, Wang Qilin felt a chill in his heart inexplicably, something was wrong, the voice of the old Taoist priest was different from just now.

From the beginning of shouting the soul, Xie Toad's voice was high-pitched and excited, but although the voice of shouting this sentence was still very high, it did not have the taste of being able to penetrate the three mountains and five mountains before.

Xu Da also heard the question and asked, "Is Dao Ye's voice hoarse?" Hurry up, take a pot of water and moisten Dao Ye's throat." ”

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Amitabha, go and find him a pot that has just been boiled." ”

Wang Qilin was about to scold the two of them not to talk nonsense, when the dry and thin child suddenly opened his eyes, he looked around in confusion, and got up very neatly and asked Lao Liu: "Grandpa, why are you crying like this?"

The old Liu Tou, who was looking at Xie Toad anxiously, was stunned, he slowly looked down at the child in his arms, and hugged him into his arms, with tears running down his face.

The lock pillar didn't know why so many people surrounded him to burn incense and make offerings, but when he saw his grandfather crying, he sensibly wiped his grandfather's eyes with his little hands.

Wang Qilin was still staring at the sea bowl, and the remaining villain was still lying quietly in the bowl, not burning at all.

Gradually, the confetti from the burning of the other villains turned into carbon foam, covering the villain.

The villagers are celebrating the rescue of the lock pillar, no one pays attention to the remaining villain who has not burned, even if someone pays attention, they don't care, the lock post has been rescued intact, they don't understand what is going on with the remaining villain not burning.

They tentatively let the lock post talk and walk, and after seeing his shadow and red light on his face, these people were really convinced, and bowed to Xie Toad.

Xie Toad looked intently at the lock pillar, and Wang Qilin walked up and asked, "The last spirit can't come back?"

"Providence, perhaps. Xie Toad sighed.

"But it's not necessarily a bad thing," he added, "this child's life is extraordinary, and being taken away by the big demon is not necessarily a bad thing!"

Someone wanted to go to see the lock pillar, he shook his head and asked Wang Qilin to take out the demon knife and hand it to the lock pillar, and let him take the demon knife and take it away.

The lock pillar is a child, the soul is not strong, and now that he has just been called back to the soul, the three souls and six spirits are even more shaky, if the soul is not fixed when the soul is returned, then the child is still easy to be hooked up by ghosts.

The demon knife is already terrifying, and he fought with Wang Qilin in all directions, killing I don't know how many demons and monsters, and now the lock pillar can suppress the soul and deter the demons.

The rest of the villain was not burned, and Xie Toad did not throw it away, he folded the villain and hung it on the neck of the lock post with a red cloth and the two handfuls of golden-rooted, white-tipped hair.

Without this spirit, the wisdom of life will not be affected, but once you stay in the place where the evil qi is condensed for a long time, you will be easy to get sick, and you will be prone to serious illness.

The people around didn't care about this, they came up to Xie Xie and bowed and bowed, and pleaded in various ways:

"Old fairy, please help, my kid was hooked by a ghost when he walked at night in his early years, please go and show it to the old fairy." ”

"The old fairy saved me from Ershui Township, this township has been dry for several years, last winter it was said that there was heavy snow in many places, and some places were snowstormed, but we only had a layer of frost here. ”

"Yes, yes, begging the old fairy to go to the Dragon Lord and ask, did his old man forget about us when it rained?"

"The old fairy showed me the marriage, where is my daughter-in-law? Why can't I find a daughter-in-law? ”

Xie Toad waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you all stand up and speak, and straighten your waists." Immeasurable Tianzun, the big guy is blocking the road now, this is not good, let's go back first, go back and talk slowly. ”

Wang Qilin is concerned about how the soul of the lock pillar will be lost, this is the three souls and seven spirits are all gone, generally speaking, when encountering demons and monsters, they will not do this, they will either snatch a soul or directly kill people, rarely only snatch the three souls and seven spirits.

Lao Liu led them home, and hurriedly went to the neighbor's house to borrow a teacup to make tea for them.

There were no tea leaves in the teacup, only a few grass roots, and the water poured out of the kettle was a little muddy, Wang Qilin smiled and took a small sip to drink.

Xie Toad was taken out by the villagers, they entangled this living immortal, knelt down and kowtowed at every turn, and the old Taoist priest had no choice but to help them solve the problem.

Old Liu Tou hugged the lock pillar, and then the lock pillar began to talk about how he lost his soul.

As the man who led them on the road said, Suozhu was a diligent child, and he went out with a small dustpan to collect cow dung and firewood before dawn in the early hours of this morning.

But it was too dark to see clearly, and he was a little depressed. As a result, just as he was about to go back, he suddenly saw a caravan of horses and carts coming from the main road.

"This team of carts and horses is magnificent, there are more than 20 tall horses alone, in addition to dozens of mules and old oxen pulling carts, and the boxes and bags are full, as if moving. ”

The lock post couldn't help but marvel.

Old Liu's face was ugly.

"And you don't see, every car in the convoy has dead wind lamps hanging on it, and the road is bright, and I have never seen people with such lamps, as if they don't burn lamp oil......

This magnificent scene first shocked him, and then surprised him.

He was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, he was small and bold, and he didn't even think about where a convoy came from before dawn, just thinking about how much dung so many cows and horses could pull and how much dung he could pick up, so he followed the convoy beautifully.

Then it was about to dawn, and a layer of fog appeared in the sky, and this fog slowly descended, and the road was covered by a thick fog.

The convoy gradually became unable to see clearly, and the lock pillars could barely see the dead wind lamps hanging on the car, flickering green in the fog.

Although he was not small, he was also a little scared at this time, he didn't know where he was now, just seeing the faint green lights in front of him, he wanted to go back in a panic.

But something else happened to him that made him ecstatic, and after the convoy had disappeared into the fog, he saw a wet calf lying on the road ahead, as if a cow had come to lay down somewhere.

There were cows in the convoy, and he wondered if it was a lost cow in the convoy, so he shouted.

But there was no response.

How much a cow cub helps a family like theirs, the lock post is clear.

But Lao Liu Tou taught him well on weekdays, and he didn't think and didn't dare to take advantage of other people's calves, so he waited on the side of the road with the calves, thinking that if the people in the front convoy found out that something was wrong and came back to find the calves and give them to others.

Then he waited for an unknown amount of time, but no one returned, but a thunderous cry came from the sky calling him home.

He heard his grandfather's voice, but he wanted to go back, but he found that he couldn't find the way.

At this time, the grandfather's shouting suddenly stopped, and then a child in yellow ran out of the fog with a grin, took his hand and said why don't you hurry home on the lock post, and as he spoke, he broke the hand that was holding the calf and pulled him away.

"I felt so tired and sleepy while walking, I didn't want to go and just wanted to sleep, but there were many children in yellow clothes who came together, and they pulled me away, and finally I didn't know what happened, I was confused, but I suddenly opened my eyes and saw my grandfather. ”

The boy said this and made all the words clear.

Wang Qilin couldn't help but touch his brain, and said to Lao Liu, "How old is this child?"

Old Liu Tou said: "Just past the year, he was just six years old. ”

Wang Qilin sighed lightly: "The six-year-old baby is so sensible and has such a strong logic, it is simply a genius. ”

The Lockpost was not greedy and saved his life, but fortunately he just stayed where he was and guarded the 'calf', and did not pick it up and take it for himself and try to take it home and hide it.

If he guessed correctly, the 'calf' is an ecstasy bait set by a monster, and whoever wants to take the bait home after biting the bait will be lost and automatically thrown into the hands of the monster once it moves.

On the contrary, the lock pillar stood in place and did not move, which means that the soul left the body but was not taken away by the monster, so Xie Toad easily succeeded when he shouted to him to summon the soul.

This is the evil of heaven can still live, and this is also the heaven does not save everyone to save themselves.

Old Liu Tou grinned when he heard him praise his doll, and the wrinkled old walnut's face was almost oily, and he said proudly: "Hero, what kind of genius is this baby in my family? ”

Listening to their words, the lock pillar showed a hesitant expression on his face again.

Bite one's tongue.

Wang Qilin was about to ask questions, when a man in an old Xuanyi hurriedly walked over and asked, "Uncle Liu, I heard that there are immortals in our township? What's the matter? Don't let people be deceived!"

This is the small seal of the local Heavenly Supervisor.

Lao Liu Tou was very familiar with him, scolded him for not talking nonsense, and then apologized to Wang Qilin: "My nephew is straightforward, he is listening to the heavenly prison on an errand, and he has seen many bad things, so the heart of defense is very heavy, you heroes should not take his words to heart." ”

Wang Qilin smiled, took out the bronze lieutenant seal given to him by Wang Zhijun and handed it to Dahan.

Dahan took the bronze lieutenant seal at random, and his eyes immediately widened when he looked at it.

This detail made Wang Qilin see that he had never seen the world, at least he had not seen the bronze seal.

The big man was also illiterate, and when he saw the red copper seal, he knelt down: "Qiao Zhinian, the little seal of Ershui Township, is humble to meet Lord Tongwei!"

Wang Qilin helped him up and said, "No need to be polite, Lord Qiao, please get up." ”

Qiao Zhinian stood up cautiously, and asked cautiously: "I don't know what the adult's name is? ”

Wang Qilin said: "I'm not on an errand in your Longdong and Longxi areas, it's normal that you can't recognize me, my name is Wang Qilin......"

Qiao Zhinian was directly stunned: "Lord Wang Qilin, the first small seal in the world?"

Wang Qilin smiled and said, "What is the first small seal in the world?" What is this name?"

Qiao Zhinian grabbed his wrist as if he saw an idol and shouted: "Lord Wang is listening to the example of all the small seals in the Heavenly Prison, from the small seals all the way to the bronze captain within a year, this is simply stepping on the clouds!"

Xu Da grinned: "It starts from Youxing!"

Wang Qilin waved his hand, there was no need to pretend to be forced.

He looked at Lao Liu Tou with interest, and the old man suddenly fell silent after knowing his identity, and subconsciously moved his grandson in front of him.

It's a posture of guard.

Wang Qilin vaguely knew that he had found the right person, but he didn't talk to Lao Liu Tou directly, but made a gap by the lock pillar: "Little pillar, what did you have to say to me and grandpa just now, right?"

The lock pillar snorted: "No, nothing, maybe I read it wrong." That is, I was dragged away by a group of yellow-clothed children, and a yellow-clothed child followed us, but he kept crying, crying behind me......"

Old Liu Tou obviously knew what was going on with these so-called yellow-clothed children, and his lips trembled when he heard this.

He thought of the little yellow paper figure in the bowl that didn't burn at the end.

Wang Qilin knows the identity of the crying child, which can actually be said to be the non-poisonous spirit of the lock pillar.

Old Liu Tou also guessed this, he hugged his grandson tremblingly and wanted to kneel down at Wang Qilin, Wang Qilin held him and said to the left and right: "I have something to ask Old Man Liu, the rest of you go out." ”

Xu Da took the lock pillar with him, and he easily won the friendship of the dry boy with a packet of fragrant oil residue.

The doors were closed, the sunlight was blocked, and the inside of the small mud hut became groggy.

A shadow fell on the old Liu's head, making him look like a dilapidated clay statue.

A clay statue that is old and has been exposed to wind and rain.

Wang Qilin asked, "Do you know what I'm going to ask?"

Old Liu Tou said slowly: "The old man was born from a humble background, he was humble when he was in his hometown, and he was also humble when he returned to his hometown, just like a half-rotten wheat straw.

"So, what the adults want to ask is obviously related to the experience of the old man when he was not in his hometown. ”

Wang Qilin said: "Yes, I want to ask you about the upside-down hanging army!"

Old Liu Tou pursed his lips and lowered his head.

There was silence in the room.

Laughter suddenly sounded outside, and I didn't know how Xu Da teased him, he was laughing non-stop.

Old Liu Tou sighed and said: "The old man left the army and returned to his hometown, never mentioning the past in the army, and he never wanted to mention it again in his life." ”

"But the lord is my grandson's savior, and if the old man doesn't answer, he can't say anything. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked directly at Wang Qilin, and said, "But please forgive the old man, the white-eyed wolf, you came today, the old man's grandson also had an accident, and he happened to be rescued by the adult's subordinate Taoist, isn't this too coincidental?"

Hearing this, Wang Qilin was depressed.

It's a coincidence.

It's no wonder that people suspect that Lao Liu Tou has not had any strange things in the township for decades, but he encountered this kind of thing before he came to ask about it, which inevitably makes people not think about it.

Wang Qilin had no choice but to say frankly: "Your suspicion is reasonable, but this matter has nothing to do with us, you can inquire that we only came to your county seat yesterday, and we haven't left the county seat when the lock pillar accident happened." ”

"Moreover, I, Wang Qilin, have acted all my life but have a clear conscience, and I have never done anything wrong!"

He said this sentence openly.

Old Liu Tou sighed lightly and said, "Don't be annoyed, the old man believes in you." You are a bronze lieutenant, and your subordinates have all kinds of skills, if you want to ask a few words from the old man's mouth, how can you use so many brains?"

"The old man just said that, just to find an excuse for not answering. ”

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, and said: "Hanging the army upside down, saving the people from fire and water, and relieving the people from hanging upside down." In fact, if the adults don't talk about it, the old man sometimes forgets that he once straightened his waist and lived a few years like a real man. ”

"Upside-down army, upside-down army. Old Liu Tou laughed bitterly as he spoke, "But how can there be an upside-down army now?"

Wang Qilin said: "The upside-down army has always been there, you are alive, the upside-down army is in your heart, I am alive, the upside-down army is in my heart." If the reputation of the Inverted Hanging Army is spread, then as long as there is a person who knows about this Iron Army alive, the name of the Inverted Hanging Army will not be buried!"

Old Liu Tou was not moved by his words, he smiled bitterly: "There are many things that adults don't know, so I dare to say this." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Then you can explain it to me clearly." ”

Old Liu Tou asked: "But my lord, what are you asking the inverted hanging army for? The imperial court has not mentioned the inverted hanging army for 20 years, why did you suddenly ask this army?"

Wang Qilin said: "The two thousand elite soldiers of the upside-down army died unjustly in Shangyuan Mansion, they have turned into heroic souls, I have seen them, and made a great wish to return them to justice, and will never let them die unclear and unclear!"

Old Liu Tou looked at him in surprise.

Wang Qilin nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, the upside-down army fought for the people and the country, but in the end they died unjustly, I want to give them justice!"

Old Liu's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly asked: "Who are you investigating the matter of the overturned hanging army? For the imperial court, for the saints, for listening to the heavenly prison, for the upside-down hanging army, for General Huang, and for ...... For whom?"

Wang Qilin said: "No, I'm investigating for justice!"

Old Liu Tou laughed violently, and smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, it turns out that you don't know anything!"

Wang Qilin said unhappily: "What do you mean?"

Old Liu Tou knelt down all of a sudden and kowtowed heavily to him.

Wang Qilin felt inexplicable, and hurriedly helped him up and said: "You don't have to make such a big salute, it is natural for me to find the innocence of the inverted hanging army, if you thank me, tell me what you know, and you don't have to salute me." ”

Lao Liu Tou said: "Lord Wang, the old man kowtowed to you to thank you for saving the lock pillar and saving my old life." My life is worthless, but the lock pillar is a child, he hasn't seen the world yet, and he shouldn't just be gone. ”

"The old man kowtows to you to thank you for having a good official like you in the world, but not for the sake of hanging the army!"

"Lord Wang, don't check the matter of the upside-down army, the old man doesn't dare to hide it from a great benefactor like you, I do know some things, but these things are more important than my life and the life of the lock pillar......!

He raised his head and stared at Wang Qilin deeply: "This is the Holy Decree!"

Wang Qilin said: "What about the holy decree? I have to find out the truth no matter what, and no resistance can stop me!"

"You are a good man, a good man who stands up to the sky!" Old Liu Tou hurriedly interrupted him, "Lord Wang, if you dare to say this, the old man will admire you! But this matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it!"

He gritted his teeth and clenched his remaining hand, and finally made a decision: "Lord Wang, the two thousand soldiers of the upside-down army died well!"

That's explosive!

Wang Qilin looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you know what it means to die well?"

Old Liu Tou said: "They are seeking benevolence and benevolence! Lord Wang, you are my great benefactor, there are some things I would rather die than say, and there are some things I can tell you." ”

"There are 8,000 people in the upside-down army, how can 2,000 people be called a 'army'? But as you know, there are 2,000 people who died in the Uehara Mansion, so where are the remaining 6,000 people?"

"Lord Wang, this matter is very important, you must not check it again, but you will definitely know the answer in your lifetime. ”

"Actually, it won't take that long," he calculated and said, "Soon, the truth is about to be revealed, Lord Wang, you will wait for another two or three years at most, and you will definitely know the truth!"

Wang Qilin wrote down his words, and then asked repeatedly: "You said that the two thousand soldiers of the upside-down army died well?"

Lao Liu nodded heavily: "They seek benevolence and get benevolence, and they deserve to die!"
