Chapter 78 Orthodox symbols
Yang Xiaoyang saw that the body pulled out by Lao Dao was still complete, and it should have been buried for a few days.
Lao Dao groped around the corpse a few times, then put the corpse in a bag, picked up the torch with a shovel on his back and left.
Although Yang Xiaoyang was curious about what he wanted the corpse for, he had no intention of finding out, so he ran back to the carriage.
Li Congwen was sitting outside the carriage with a sword in his hand at this time, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Yang Xiaoyang walked in and listened, only to find that he was muttering: "There are no ghosts...... No ghosts ......."
Li Congwen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Xiaoyang coming, and hurriedly asked, "Who is over there?"
Yang Xiaoyang patted the dew on his body, "You said it was a coincidence, it was the old Tao I met this morning." ”
Li Congwen raised his eyebrows, "What is he doing over there?"
He took a compass and found a place, then dug a hole, dug a corpse and carried it away. Yang Xiaoyang said nonchalantly.
He is half a southern Xinjiang person in his bones, and he doesn't care as much about the corpse as Li Congwen, although he feels that Lao Dao is doing something wrong, but he has no intention of delving into it.
However, Li Congwen was not so relaxed, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said angrily: "How dare this person do such a hurtful thing? No, I'll go and arrest him right now!"
Yang Xiaoyang hurriedly stopped, "Why be so anxious, it's too dark now, it's better to go tomorrow morning." ”
He didn't want to toss around any more in the evening.
"Now that old man is conspicuous at night with a torch, if tomorrow, the shadow of his running is gone, how can I find it in this vast forest?" Li Congwen was anxious.
In order to get a good night's sleep, Yang Xiaoyang had to use his brains and persuade him with good words: "The land of this willow forest is wet and soft, and people will leave traces on it, and besides, the old road is still carrying a corpse and holding so many things, the traces must be difficult to cover."
And that old man is old, and he can't walk far in one night, so he is not afraid that he will not be found tomorrow morning.
Besides, we must always leave one man to guard the carriage, and if you go alone, you will not be able to see at night, and if you also carry a torch, it will be difficult to find him if you are found and escaped by the old way, and if the other party is on guard.
Besides, I think that the old Taoist is a person who cultivates immortals, although his realm may not be high, but I am afraid that he has some special means. Let's have a good rest tonight, and we'll work together tomorrow morning to take him down. ”
Li Congwen first nodded slightly, and then looked Yang Xiaoyang up and down a few times, "Then why don't you go?"
Yang Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, thought about it before smiling and said, "I'm not afraid that you will be unwilling if you don't do it yourself." ”
Yang Xiaoyang felt that this reason was really far-fetched.
However, I didn't expect Li Congwen to nod, and he looked like he understood my heart very well.
Now that they have a plan, they are ready to rest. The forest was too wet and there was no dry firewood to light a fire, so Yang Xiaoyang and Li Congwen had no choice but to set up a tent and get in.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Congwen rarely got up early, and while nibbling on dry cakes, he urged Yang Xiaoyang to leave quickly.
Ju Yeqian yawned, Yang Xiaoyang saw that her face was paler than the first time, and he was a little anxious, not knowing when this congenital deficiency disease would find a way to cure.
"Didn't you find Willow Village last night?" Ju Yeyan took a sip of the cotton wine brought out by Willow Village, and felt the coldness recede slightly.
"No, I happened to meet that old man last night, Yang Xiaoyang saw that he was digging other people's graves, and today my son is going to arrest him back and ask him well. Li Congwen also took a sip of wine and said viciously.
Ju Yeyan was furious, and a shout startled the birds in the forest, "What?
Yang Xiaoyang, who was explaining to Xiao Di what are the benefits of not eating meat in the morning, listened, and looked at Ju Yeqi with a sad face, why did you scold people and take me?
However, judging from the attitudes of these two people, ordinary people should attach great importance to such a thing as being buried after death, otherwise they would not be so angry.
After a few people repaired, Yang Xiaoyang drove the carriage to the place where he met the old road yesterday.
Yesterday's footprints and traces were still clear, and Yang Xiaoyang chased them all the way along the tracks.
In fact, Yang Xiaoyang was also quite curious about what the other party wanted a corpse for, and he really couldn't think of what the corpse could do.
When he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that the other party was an immortal cultivator, and his hearing should be very accessible even if he was old.
I'm afraid I'll be found out very early when I drive the carriage over, and it will be a lot of work to catch up when the time comes. Yang Xiaoyang didn't want to chase Fang San for a few hours like he did last time, it would be too much trouble.
"Congwen, you set up the carriage and walk slowly behind, and I'll go to the front to track. The carriage was moving too much, and I was afraid that the old man would be alert and run away for him. Yang Xiaoyang won't tell him that he is actually too lazy to chase, and besides, he can see if Li Congwen can drive a carriage, and if he can, he will at least have to take turns with him in the future.
Li Congwen didn't think much about it, took the whip and waved it at Yang Xiaoyang.
Ju Yeqi poked his head out and said solemnly: "That old Taoist has been cultivating for many years, you have to be careful of his Taoist methods. ”
Yang Xiaoyang's face twitched, I don't have any Taoist means in your eyes?
At this time, Xiao Di flew out, "Don't be afraid, little sheep, I'll go with you." ”
Yang Xiaoyang thought about it, he felt that the old Dao cultivation was not as high as him, and he should be at most in the middle of the innate stage, and it should not cause any harm to Xiao Di, but he still seriously instructed: "Well, then you follow me and try to stay away." By the way, how is your Lei Fa cultivation?"
Xiao Di tilted her head back and said proudly: "Hmph, congenital perfection!"
......
Yang Xiaoyang took Xiao Di to trot along with the traces left by the old road, and Xiao Di flew behind.
He was a little frustrated while delighted with Xiao Di's cultivation, although he understood that Xiao Di's cultivation was naturally as high as possible, but he still couldn't help but think: If Xiao Di's cultivation is higher than me, won't I be needed?
Yang Xiaoyang quickly shook his head when he thought of this, at least Xiao Di still needs to buy his own food, cook and feed him, how can he not need it?
The traces left by the old road extended to the bottom of a small hill, and Yang Xiaoyang looked forward and found that although the trees on the mountain were also dense, they were much fewer than those in the willow forest.
It's just that the yin and moisture at the foot of the mountain are equally heavy, and even excessive.
Yang Xiaoyang walked a short distance up the mountain and found that the ground here was much harder, and there were no footprints.
Yang Xiaoyang looked around again and found that the forest, which was originally full of willow trees, had unconsciously added a lot of ginkgo, and many trees had already bloomed in clusters. The original damp environment around it was also a lot warmer and drier, which made Yang Xiaoyang a little more comfortable.
Yang Xiaoyang thought for a while, looked at the road, and found that it was inconvenient for the carriage to go up the mountain, but considering that the carriage should not be fast, he still had time to explore around.
"Xiao Di, you fly closer and help me keep an eye on the surroundings. If you encounter that old way, you will retreat away. Yang Xiaoyang said to Xiao Di behind him.
It is said that Yang Xiaoyang has not been alone with Xiaodi for a long time, which makes Yang Xiaoyang recall the days with her in Sichuan, Shu and Zhongnan.
It was so comfortable back then, but it seems good to think about it now.
Yang Xiaoyang saw Xiao Di spinning in circles, followed behind suspiciously, smiled, and continued to walk towards the mountain.
I don't know when I can't see a willow tree around, Yang Xiaoyang secretly said Could it be that this tree also has spirituality?
Just as he was passing by a ginkgo, Yang Xiaoyang suddenly felt the fluctuation of aura behind the tree, and then saw a withered yellow leaf flying over.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for a leaf to fly straight forward, but the leaf shoots at itself like an arrow.
Yang Xiaoyang was startled, and just wanted to avoid it sideways, but saw the leaf falling straight in front of him, as if it suddenly weighed a thousand catties.
Yang Xiaoyang saw that the leaf fell to the ground and remained motionless, so he still cautiously took a few steps back, and suddenly saw that the withered yellow leaf burned on its own, and the fire was very large, burning into a large ball.
Yang Xiaoyang looked at the fire in amazement, not understanding how a small leaf could burn so vigorously.
"Ah, you're not allowed to look at it, little sheep!" suddenly exclaimed.
Yang Xiaoyang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, thinking that Xiao Di had seen something, and hurriedly took two steps back, then turned his head and asked with a solemn face: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Tu shook his head and said seriously: "You must want to remember what this leaf looks like, and then you will find this leaf to make a fire!
Yang Xiaoyang opened his mouth wide and was messy in the wind for a while......
Feelings: Do you think it's a great pleasure to use the thunder method to make a fire? And how is it possible to have a leaf that can catch fire on its own?
"No, no, even if we find this leaf, we will definitely find you to make a fire. Yang Xiaoyang hurriedly coaxed.
Seeing Xiao Di nodding in satisfaction, Yang Xiaoyang cautiously walked behind the tree next to him.
I saw that there was a rune paper pasted behind the ginkgo, and there was a blank on it, Yang Xiaoyang guessed that it would become like this after using it, but he still poked out his divine sense and observed it carefully, and found that there was indeed no aura, so he reached out and took it off.
This rune paper is yellow paper, with the smell of cinnabar remaining on it, which should be a very orthodox kind of talisman.
Well, it's not as casual as the thunder talisman given by Chongxiao Zhenren, although his old man gave it very well.
"Little lamb, was this talisman drawn by the old man?" Xiao Di had seen the talisman drawn by Ju Yeqi, and also recognized that this talisman had been used.
Yang Xiaoyang nodded, after all, there should not be a second person in this wilderness who can draw talismans, it is still a very orthodox kind.
However, judging from the effect of this talisman, it should not be used to hurt people, but more like it is used to drive away wild beasts.
So the old man's home is on this mountain?
Originally, Yang Xiaoyang was too lazy to think about it, but this time when it comes to Xiaodi's safety, it is better to think about it in detail.
