Chapter 14: The Dionysian Sacrifice
The door opened, and the Ghostface was gone.
Ran away?
Or is it another trick?
Li Changan didn't dare to slack off, urged Chong Longyu, and found a trace of residual fragrance and walked along the Yongdao to the gate.
It did run, but there was a trace!
The Taoist priest's expression moved, and he quickly dragged up the beggar next to him.
This person is also strange, since he was in prison, he has looked like he has lost his soul, he does not make noise, does not speak, and does not know how to hide when the sword stabs him.
Now the Taoist priest pulled him over, and he obediently followed, without the slightest resistance, as if he had been lost and cursed.
At present, time is pressing, and Li Changan has no time to study it carefully, so he hurriedly took him out of the prison door.
Over there.
The head of the squad happened to wake up and was lying on the ground, with seven or eight men pressed on his body, trembling and pointing at the Taoist priest.
"Let go of the witch ......"
The Taoist priest's face darkened.
Catching a glimpse of a extinguished torch on the ground, he picked it up on his toes and volleyed it with a volley, and with good luck, ten paces away, right in the middle of the door, smashed the rest of the noise and front teeth back into his belly.
Ignore it and turn away.
It is important to pursue the murderer, and these rats will come back to cook.
......
After the wind raged.
The hall in front of the door was in shambles, some suspicious liquid was spread all over the ground, and the strong fishy stench made the Taoist priest frown.
Take a look around.
The brothers of the Zhang family were panting by the wall in a cold sweat; the ranger and the butcher fell to the ground stiffly, not knowing whether they were alive or dead; Feng Daoren fell to the ground, his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling violently; as for the swordsman named Xu Zhan, when he saw that it was Li Chang'an, he came out of the corner of the wall and smiled awkwardly at the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, shoved the beggar to him, and quickly pushed the door out.
......
Outside the door is a small courtyard.
The public place is bare, and there is nothing to see.
Only the mist was like frost, and it was shallowly knotted.
The hustle and bustle in the distance faintly came, but the courtyard became more and more deserted.
Li Changan, who was in a hurry in prison, went out of the door, but stopped.
He held the sword at his waist and looked up.
But see the moonlight in the sky.
Above the courtyard wall, there is a corner of the cornices that provoke vines like waterfalls.
The ghost-faced man stood on the cornice, his red skirt followed by purple vines, and the short sword in his hand and the moon behind him reflected a faint halo.
She looked at Li Changan quietly.
Then he jumped lightly, like a light smoke melting into the moonlight.
At this time.
"Li Daoyou. ”
Li Changan looked back, it turned out that Feng Chong was holding on to the wall and trying to get up, with a round face as white as a freshly baked bun.
He called the Taoist priest, but before he could spit out half a word, a mouthful of old blood came out first.
"It's ......"
"It doesn't matter. ”
He waved his hand.
"The spell is backlashing, and it is difficult to control the qi and blood for a while...... Wow. ”
Before he finished speaking, he vomited a small mouthful of blood, which made his face more and more pale, and his eyes became more and more blue.
He simply shut his mouth, took out an object from his bosom, and threw it far away.
The Taoist priest took a look, but it was a pair of armored horses.
The palm-sized yellow paper, strung with red ropes, with complex patterns printed on the edges, and a small man galloping on a horse drawn in the center, with the words "white clouds rising" written on it.
There are many demons and monsters in this world, and there are often charms and magic weapons on the market, but nine points are fake, and the remaining ones are really some big road goods, such as Li Chang'anhui's evil charms.
There are many different ways to come, and each has its own merits. The only thing in common is that it is mostly unconventional, denominational, and cultivated, and it can be easily used.
Cheap masters will occasionally buy some and keep them on their bodies to make up for the lack of Taoist inheritance of small sects.
So Li Changan also learned a little about it, such as the pair of divine armor horses in his hand!
He is worried about the ghost-faced human body and the ghostly and fast, and he can't catch up with himself.
It's just in time.
The Taoist priest thanked him, hurriedly tied the armor horse to his calf, and read:
"I hope to invite the god of Liuding and Liujia, the god of white clouds and crane feathers. The clouds on the soles of my feet are as fast as the wind, like I fly in the blue sky. I was taken by order of the Nine Heavens Xuannu. ”
As soon as the words fell, the footsteps were a little.
The person was like a "monkey in the sky", "whoosh" and flew out.
............
Murderous machines burst out in the desert of the prison here, and the festival over there was lively and celebratory.
The long streets on both sides are lit up and full of tourists.
The central waterway is connected by boats, as if a street market has been paved on the water.
The musicians, prostitutes, Youling, and Baiju all geared up to show their powers, attracting loud applause from the audience on the bridge, on the shore, upstairs, and on the boat.
Among them, the one with the highest voice, the loudest applause, and the largest audience is the painting boat of the three ladies.
The painting boat stops in the middle of the waterway, holding a rope to connect the flowers and trees on both sides, and the lanterns are hung on it, illuminating the water surface sparkling, as if the painting boat is hanging in the sky Milky Way.
The deck was emptied and a stage was set up, on which an acrobatic show was being performed.
A fat woman carried a large bamboo pole, about twenty feet high, and many small poles were running across it, and it was full of colored lanterns. Nine eleven or twelve-year-old girls were playing on the poles, as swift as apes, as light as birds, or dancing whirlwind, or juju, or sumo......
The end is thrilling, exciting, and exquisite!
The woman also occasionally pretended to stumble and pretended to be wrong, which frightened the audience on both sides of the strait to scream.
And every time at this time, a small boat will be opened next to the painting boat, and a small boat lady will prop it up to the shore, and the audience will be pleased with a glutinous voice.
With such a festival, such an atmosphere, and such a wonderful show, who is embarrassed to be stingy?
And so.
There is always money raining down on the ship.
And among them, the one who shouted the most and appreciated the most was none other than the young catcher Bo Ziyu.
Originally, there have been frequent murders recently, and the government is a tense moment, even tonight, he should patrol and keep vigil with his brothers.
However, the long-loved lady of the Liu family asked someone to send a message to travel with him tonight.
Where does he still have any patrol thoughts?
Hurriedly took off his soap clothes, changed into robes, untied his waist knife, took a folding fan, and pretended to be a beautiful son.
I also took out all my savings to laugh at the Pomeranian tonight!
The little boat lady is also clever, got a big reward, and laughed out of a pair of small dimples.
"Thank you, Lang Jun and lady for the reward. ”
In and out of the words, Bo Ziyu and the lady of the Liu family next to him were connected.
caused Bo Ziyu to laugh, which made the lady of the Liu family blush, spit to hide her face and run away, Bo Ziyu smiled and chased after her.
A moment later.
The man and woman of the private meeting went to a shop, in front of which there were many lanterns carried on poles, and the top one was the most exquisite, and the lanterns were colorful and colorful.
The lady of the Liu family couldn't take her eyes off when she looked at the past, what an opportunity to be courteous, how could Bo Ziyu let it go?
But when I inquired, people didn't sell it, only gave it away.
But the premise is to guess the lantern riddle.
......
"When you draw a circle, when you write a square, when you write a short time, when you spend a lot of time in summer. ”
couldn't stand the expectant eyes of the beauty, so he had to bite the bullet and go up.
But he was about to scratch the Tianling Gai, and he still didn't have any idea in his head.
Fortunately, the store was an old acquaintance of his uncle Xing Zhutou, and he was half an elder, so he quietly handed over a note.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, hid the note in the palm of his hand, turned it around, and glanced at it secretly by means of the lantern.
But I haven't seen it yet.
Suddenly.
A figure jumped down from the roof, tiptoe against the wall, like a gust of wind passing over the heads of the crowd, causing a burst of exclamation, and along the way, the note was also wiped away.
Bo Ziyu's mind was dazed, and he was at a loss.
Another figure jumped from the roof, but the latter was not as light as the former, and fell straight down, smashing a pole of lanterns to pieces.
Then, like a flea, it leaped over the heads of the frightened crowd.
Bo Ziyu stared blankly at the wreckage of lanterns all over the ground, and then turned his head to look at the mist on the autumn water of the Liu family.
A wave of anger erupted.
He hatefully turned his head to look for the two men.
But seeing the former stepping on the rope, he ran quickly towards the painting boat.
The latter fell heavily on the boat of the little boat lady, and the bow of the boat sank, and then rose into the sky with the help of force, and rushed straight to the former.
The other Bo Ziyu didn't know, but the flea-like guy in the back, where would he forget?
I am now speaking leaky, but it is all thanks to this person.
Li Xuanxiao!
He gritted his teeth and cursed, but when he thought about it, didn't this guy hide in a big prison, delusionally trying to use a beggar as bait to ambush the murderer?
How did it get here...... He rolled his gaze and landed on the former.
Woman, red dress, plain clothes, short sword, ghost face.
A stirring suddenly occurred in my heart.
At this time.
"Well?"
The two officials were full of oil and wine, and the big stabbing stabbed and sheathed the crowd.
"What are you shouting here?"
Bo Ziyu had already grabbed it in one step, and snatched away the waist knife.
"The demon has appeared!"
He grabbed the other party by the collar and drank viciously.
"Go and call someone!"
