Shi Congyi was overjoyed: "So that person used Zhang Yunsheng's blood to defile Bo Wutu, it's useless! It still won't let go of that guy! Great, wonderful, then we'll follow it, hmm-" In the end, it was stuck.

The monster has been in the painting from yesterday to today, how can it lead the way?

Yan Saburo asked Zhang Hancui: "Why didn't Fang Cai say it all the time?"

"I, I'm not sure. Zhang Hancui said, "Daddy is only familiar with the Hongwu Treasure Seal, I have only used it once, I don't know if Bowu can really chase the murderer, and I don't know what will happen after the seal is defaced." ”

The young man nodded: "It's getting dark, let's take Bowutu out of town." ”

Shi Congyi said: "Take the painting and go together?"

"Yes. Yan Saburo had already picked up the bookcase and opened the lid with his hand, and the white cat jumped directly into the box from the tree, "No one knows what will happen." To be on the safe side, we'll keep Bowu out of the crowd. ”

Shi Congyi had no objections, but just issued an order and quickly gathered more than a dozen elites.

After walking together for so long, he knew very well that this young man was assertive and measured.

Of course, he didn't forget to send someone to watch Zhang Yunsheng's father and daughter.

An old man, a small-town woman, can't even ride a fast horse, and taking it with her will only slow down her own speed.

Yan Saburo also left the weasel family as a guard.

The group went straight to the Bowu Temple and took the portrait. Lao Miaozhu was very dissatisfied, but when the court officials were here, he had nothing to do.

Afterwards, the dozen horsemen rode their horses eastward.

......

Behind him, the sky was full of sunshine.

The day is almost over again.

Shi Congyi rode his horse beside Yan Saburo, and asked him in the whirring wind, "How do you know that the monster will definitely come out tonight?" Otherwise, this tossing will be useless.

"Do you remember the legend of Bowu?" Yan Saburo remembered very clearly, "There is such a sentence on the portrait, one day sleeps, one day eats." ”

"What do you mean?" Shi Congyi has been so busy lately, how can he have the time to read the legends of the countryside, "Sleep a day and eat a day?"

He understood it literally, and Yan Saburo gave him a thumbs up: "Yes! It ate people the night before yesterday, but it didn't move last night, maybe it was asleep." ”

"That is, this monster only came out to eat people the next day, so it should have made an action tonight. Shi Congyi still felt unreliable, "But this is all a legend, can you believe it?"

"Believe it. Yan Saburo shrugged his shoulders, "Otherwise, do you have a better way?" ”

Stone from the wing silly. At this time, the dead horse had to be a live horse doctor, not to mention that Yan Xiaozi's statement sounded a little bit of truth.

The white cat shrunk into the bookcase, and its head didn't poke out. It's so cold outside, especially when Yan Saburo is riding, the cold wind swishs to the back of his head.

As a comfortable cat, it is better to hold the hand warmer and spread the flatbread well.

However, she still heard Yan Saburo's question: "Why didn't you trigger the heavenly machine this time?"

The horse's hooves rumbled, and most of the people could not hear him. But Yan Saburo was still cautious and didn't say the wooden bell.

The magic weapon that can absorb the vitality of the living, they have also dealt with it - Spring and Autumn Pen. The appearance of that pen directly triggered the wooden bell to distribute tasks.

"Probably because it was originally a human thing. Chitose said leisurely, "Unless more than half of the human beings in this world are suddenly killed or injured, the heavenly machine will not be out of balance because of this." "Human beings always think too highly of themselves, in fact, in the way of heaven, human life is nothing more than a mustard ear.

She paused: "I thought about it, the function of the Hongwu Treasure Seal is probably to allow the sealer to use his life as collateral." ”

"Mortgage?" is a bit new.

"Putting on the seal is actually equivalent to signing a contract, and temporarily giving your life to the contract. Chitose has always had her own opinion on all kinds of supernatural powers, "The fifteen-day period is safely passed, the transaction is completed smoothly, and the contract only receives appropriate remuneration." That is—"

Yan Saburo has already understood: "Seven years of life." ”

"But if the contract is not completed and the person who made the contract dies suddenly, then his soul cannot enter the reincarnation of the underworld, but is taken away by the contract as collateral. The transaction itself will be interrupted at the same time, so that what has come true in the painting will not have a period of time to be restored, and it can continue to exist. ”

"It is a creature made out of thin air, and it is a living creature. Yan Saburo nodded, "Even if it's the power of a magic weapon, it's too much." ”

After another two quarters of an hour of running, the people entered a valley.

Of course, the river freezes to ice during this season, and there is a large open space in the forest.

"It's good here. "It's a long way from Sanjiao Town, and there is a large forest farm here, and there are three or four wooden houses and a few barns for miscellaneous items.

Yan Saburo dismounted, found a branch and stuck it on the ice, and then hung Bo Wutu on the branch, and then clapped his hands: "Okay." ”

Shi Congyi waved his hand, and everyone led the horses into the forest and went into the house to avoid the wind. Although you can't light the lights, it's a blessing to have a place to live in when it's cold.

Next, a few aliens set up a formation along the forest farm, isolating the breath of humans. In this way, even if a beast or evil cult approaches, it will not notice that there are still living people inside.

The next thing to do is to wait.

When the last man entered the house, the barren forest was calm again.

The cold wind passed through the woodland, the night owl howled occasionally, and Shi Congyi shook the big qi on his body: "Can you eat, I've been running around for a day." "Mizumi hasn't hit his teeth yet.

"Don't eat meat. Yan Saburo lowered his voice, "This thing has a very smart nose. ”

“...... All right. Shi Congyi had to take out dry food to gnaw. At night in the countryside, the water drips into ice, and the soft white rolls are exposed to the cold air, and they can freeze as hard as wood in less than ten breaths.

He also scored his precious mana to roast it softly.

Shi Congyi's mouth was stuffed with food, and his speech was slurred: "When do you think it will come back to life?"

"I don't know. Yan Saburo told the truth, and then closed his eyes and breathed.

"No need to send someone to keep an eye on it?"

"No, I don't. The boy didn't open his eyes, "If it comes back to life, I'll know." ”

It's going to be a long night.

......

The moon rises in the east and sets in the west.

There was silence in the woods. All the anomalies that night were a herd of wild boars going around the woods and hitting a few logs.

It's dawn, isn't it? Shi Congyi rubbed his dry eyes and sighed in a low voice. Time is precious, but this night is nothing.

He looked sideways at Yan Saburo beside him, and found that this kid was breathing evenly and long, maintaining the same rhythm from beginning to end, like a well-wound puppet.

You can't be asleep, right?
