Chapter 31: Passive
Evil spirits are accustomed to haunting in the middle of the night, because at this time the yang energy dissipates and the yin energy pervades, which is most suitable for their activities.
Chen Youniao sat upright in the hall, and did not light the lamp, it was dark. He waited while doing his homework, and between his breaths, long and short, there was a subtle sense of rhythm.
This is the effect of cultivating the Laoshan Suzhen Tao Sutra.
Because of the drawing, although Meimei slept and ate a full meal, she was still a little tired and needed to adjust in time.
As the night wore on, the entire estate fell silent.
There are dogs on the village, and the dogs were not alarmed when there was an accident two nights ago, mainly because these dogs are placed at the gate of the village, as well as on the side of the courtyard wall, responsible for guarding the door, and if there are thieves coming, the dogs can be found immediately. However, evil breeds inside, hiding the watchdog's ears, eyes, and sense of smell.
Different evil cults have different means and abilities. or psychedelic, or infected, or corrupted, or cursed......
It's weird, it's very weird, and it's hard to guard against.
Fortunately, the exertion of these abilities depends on the strength of the evil itself, such as the lowest evil spirits, resentful spirits, their means of harming people are relatively simple, mainly "hallucination", confusing people's minds and spirits, making people crazy, or become demented. Generally speaking, resentful spirits do not have the ability to absorb the soul and blood of people, so they can only retreat and suck the blood of livestock to strengthen themselves.
It's addictive, that is, as long as you smoke it for the first time, you will have a second and third time......
Therefore, Chen Youniao arranged tonight's lure the snake out of the hole, and the evil origin was hidden and could not be found, so he had to let it send it to the door by itself.
In the inner room, a lamp is like a bean, Song Tianfu is restless, he hangs a talisman around his neck, not a town house peace charm, but another more mysterious talisman, its value is equivalent to twice the town house peace charm, used to be obtained at a high price, worn on the body all year round, never left and right.
In addition to this amulet, he also held a knife tightly in his hand. This knife is not ordinary, and the Taoist priest has opened the light, which has the effect of driving away evil and suppressing evil.
The Song family is a big family, the family is wealthy, and there are a lot of magic talismans prepared at home in case of emergency. However, because the world has been peaceful for a long time, people are used to living a comfortable life, and it is inevitable to slack off and relax.
Unexpectedly, this laxity caused an incident. The utensils of the manor were in disrepair, their mana was lost, and they were exploited by evil spirits.
Thinking about it this way, the magic weapons enshrined in the family have not been replaced for some years, and it is doubtful how much mana is left. Even the talisman on which he relied on his body has been worn for three years. According to the original drawer, this talisman is worn for a period of three years, and after the deadline, the mana gradually declines, and it will slowly become a piece of waste paper.
Magic talismans are expensive, and they may not be able to be bought, especially now, if there is chaos and evil spirits emerge in endlessly, the market will be even more difficult.
Song Tianfu has the heart to make friends with Chen Youniao, and the root is here. Of course, the premise is that Chen Youniao has the relevant strength.
This time, it was both a helper and a test.
Time passed silently, I don't know how long it was, I don't know what time it was, there was no movement outside.
Syllable!
The lights flickered.
At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, Song Tianfu seemed to see a dark shadow flashing outside the window. He was startled, jumped to his feet, and even knocked over the chair.
The black shadow just now was quite strange, with a long neck and long hair, like a woman.
"Childe, what's wrong?"
Amid the shouting and questioning, two bodyguards guarding the door rushed in. They are not ordinary servants, but trained family members, and they are good. When they were at home, the two belonged to the nursing home, and when they went out, they worked part-time as bodyguards.
Force is one of the important foundations for maintaining family security, and we must be willing to spend money to hire and support people.
Song Tianfu was shocked: "Just now, did you see anyone passing by?"
The two bodyguards looked at each other, shook their heads and replied, "No." ”
"Am I dazzled?"
Song Tianfu muttered: "No, it is clear that someone is outside the window, and the shadow is reflected by the light." ”
It seems that this evil is not simple.
"Let's go, go out and have a look. ”
Under the protection of the bodyguards, Song Tianfu came to the hall with a lantern and saw Chen Youniao still sitting there.
Chen Youniao's eyes raised: "Brother Tianfu, why did you come out?"
Song Tianfu immediately told him what had just happened.
Chen Youniao frowned and thought for a while: "I didn't notice any movement. ”
Song Tianfu's face changed: "Let's go, take a look outside." ”
Outside the house, a big fat sheep tethered there was safe and sound, good and decent. This sheep is still newly bought. The sheep raised on the farm have been killed, and the only farming cow has also been poisoned.
"This ......"
Song Tianfu was very puzzled.
Chen Youniao sighed: "Evil is impermanent, there is no sound, and it is the most treacherous, so it is difficult to deal with." ”
Song Tianfu asked, "You mean it has been here, but it hasn't been fooled?"
"The evil that has drunk blood will become more cunning when it is tainted with ferocity. ”
"What then?"
Chen Youniao replied: "It can't get out of the area of the manor, it will keep coming out to move, drinking blood, and its whereabouts will not be able to hide sooner or later." ”
Song Tianfu was anxious: "Then all the livestock on my manor must not be eaten...... No, it's coming out tonight, will it bite other livestock? Call people, light a fire, check!"
Soon, the gong sounded, and the peasants got up. After a check, it was found that the two watchdogs were gone, just like cattle and sheep, and only two dog skins stained with some blood stains were left on the ground, looking terrible.
The peasants were talking, and their eyes were filled with fear. There are some things that cannot be hidden, and if they are not controlled, they cannot be suppressed, and they will run away. It won't be long before the entire estate is abandoned.
Song Tianfu sighed, he came to Chen Youniao, the original intention was to cut off the evil, but now it seems that Chen Youniao is still too tender and lacks the ability to do things. It's no wonder that he wasn't an official Taoist priest after all.
Chen Youniao picked up the dog's skin with a wooden stick to look at it, and in an instant, he felt a wisp of yin qi. This is because the other party has not been gone for a long time, the situation at the scene has been preserved, and the residual yin qi has not dissipated.
Yin Qi is a harmful breath, and if it is entered by Yin Qi, it will cause very troublesome consequences.
Chen Youniao's movements were cautious, and he couldn't help but shudder when he felt the presence of yin qi.
Song Tianfu asked the steward to dismiss the peasants and go back to the farmhouse to sleep, but there was another trick in the village, and even the watchdogs were harmed, and it is difficult to say whether these peasants slept peacefully.
"Brother Chen, look?"
Chen Youniao said: "It's a bit tricky. ”
I know my own affairs, but in the final analysis, it is because of my lack of cultivation, I have not officially become a Taoist priest, and I have not mastered more Taoist means, so that I am overstretched in the face of evil and appear passive.
Song Tianfu didn't say anything more.
When the night passed, everyone did not sleep soundly, for fear that the evil would go and return.
The next day, at noon, the Song family came again. It was Song Tianfu's third uncle Song Ziyin, who heard about last night's incident, and immediately became furious, pointing at Song Tianfu and reprimanding: "I said earlier, the kid of the Chen family is a fake Taoist priest who deceived you so much, and now you are satisfied, right?"
Song Tianfu spread his hands: "What does the third uncle mean?"
"For a change, I'll call someone. ”
Song Ziyin's tone was strong, he had already made up his mind to make a big fuss about this matter and severely reduce the status of this nephew in the family. From then on, it was him Song Ziyin who was in charge of the family.
