Chapter 34: Demon Search
Draw eyebrows.
Apply snow.
Purse your lips.
Gather the temples high, and sway diagonally.
In the brass mirror, the beauty looks delicate, shy and timid.
It's a pity that when he opened his mouth, it was a male duck voice that destroyed the artistic conception.
"Mother, my hair is so heavy that my neck hurts. β
"Smack. β
The woman slapped the paw of the "daughter" restlessly stretched out to the haired mane, and scolded angrily.
"To be honest, if it is scattered, I don't have the leisure to save another one. β
"Daughter" pursed her lips, but did not mumble.
Outside the door.
"Mother, brother. β
The little stammerer broke in.
"Fang is bringing and catching and catching to the door. β
"It's all said, you can't be called 'brother' on this day, you have to call it 'sister'. β
The woman first lectured her youngest son a lesson, and then complained, "What trouble has happened to-day, and how can these dogs be sent away?" β
After that, he left behind his loveless "daughter" and went out.
Got to the door.
Fang Zheng has been waiting for a long time with a servant.
The woman hurriedly squeezed out a smile.
"Yo, what kind of wind is blowing you through the door? β
"Less elephants. β
Fang Zheng was the boss impatient, holding a few yellow talismans.
"We have good luck in the workshop, and recently there is no life in the city, Qingping is a real fairy heart, and specially gave us the talisman to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace. β
"Yo, Huang Fu. β
The woman laughed, but was not busy taking the rune paper.
"What's so uneasy about this blue sky and white day? Let's talk about it first, the lintel of my house can be open......
Halfway through the conversation.
"Less nonsense. β
was interrupted by Fang Zheng's sentence.
"The real person is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want money, so he will do the next. I've got to go to the next one. β
Without saying anything, he shoved a handful of talisman paper into the woman's hand.
Tell me before you go.
"Remember, this is for women. At night, stick it on the door. β
............
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Somewhere in the square.
"Do those spells really work?"
Bo Ziyu was a little restless.
"To ward off evil spirits or reluctantly, warnings are more than enough. β
Feng Daoren's face as he answered became more and more depressed than before.
There are dozens of households in this square, each household has as little as one or two, and more than a dozen, and the number of yellow charms required is quite a lot. Feng Chong ran out of inventory and was still insufficient, so he had to make another batch of temporary work. He was already seriously injured and had not yet recovered, and such a high-intensity mobilization of mana almost caused the injury to recur.
But it's also something that can't be helped.
Previously, the concubine's dream aroused the suspicion of several people.
After some more investigation.
It was found that in this lane, most of the school-age women had the dream of "red luan into the belly".
As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be demons.
Especially at this juncture of the demon plague, it has to attract the attention of the three of them.
However, the victim women are all over the house, and the way of victimization is also very hidden (harmonious) and obscure, making it difficult for people to trace the traces of the monster, and even not sure whether the monster really exists.
Coupled with limited manpower.
The three of them came up with a stupid way, that is, to distribute yellow talismans to each family, and if they were violated by monsters, the yellow talisman could convey a warning to the three people guarding the workshop.
Inevitably, the people in the workshop didn't pay attention to Huang Fu, so they pulled the tiger skin of Qingping Zhenren.
"Is it too rude to use a real person's name like this?"
The rune paper was all distributed, but Feng Chong hesitated.
Li Changan smiled and waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter. β
"If there really are monsters, it's also a merit for us to do this. The real person is high-spirited, and I don't care about it. β
The Taoist priest was very shameless and gently lifted the topic, so he beckoned Feng Chong and Bo Ziyu to come up and point to a simple map of the workshop.
"Let's stay in this workshop for two nights, I am at the head of the workshop, and the two of you are at the end of the workshop. Although the monster has not harmed people's lives, just in case, if you get a warning signal, please deal with it quickly, don't delay. What do you two think?"
Bo Ziyu has no opinion.
Feng Daoren hesitated.
"According to the previous 'man turned demon', this monster may have been just an innocent person before, and it didn't kill anyone. If it is against the enemy, should the means of facing the enemy be more relaxed?"
Feng Chong first came out of the mountain gate, and he was still naΓ―ve. Before he bumped into the monster, he had compassion first. It's a pity that the two people on the other side are not good people.
One wanders the rivers and lakes, and the other is old in the market.
Look at each other.
Give a tactful and cold answer.
"Take care of people first, and then catch demons. β
............
"Three shifts in the middle of the night, lock the door, fire and theft. β
The woman pushed the door open.
It's quiet in the brewery.
The night fog was heavy and pervasive, making the sound of the beating more and more distant.
She picked up the oil lamp and went to the temple.
As soon as he entered, he saw his eldest son lying on the futon and sleeping soundly.
"It's useless, you can't keep a vigil all night. β
Although she complained, she looked at her son's little face that was still aggrieved in his sleep, and finally couldn't bear to wake him up, but covered him with the bedding she brought.
Then, close the door lightly.
Back in the courtyard.
The fog thinned and the moonlight cleared.
Suddenly.
In the reflection of the corner of the wall, something seemed to creep (harmoniously) for a moment.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Hurriedly turned his head to look.
Call~
It turned out to be mud.
"This ghost weather, foggy all night long, makes people's hearts frizzy. β
She cursed a few words and was about to go back to the house.
The ghost sent the gods, and then looked back at the mud, only to feel inexplicably uncomfortable in the bottom of his heart.
She was originally a tough character, she had always ignored the gossip on the streets and alleys, and she also scoffed at the yellow talisman sent during the day, but now, ......
"I didn't ask for money anyway. β
She muttered, went back to the house, pulled out the rune paper, and pasted it on the doorbeam.
Then, he quickly closed the door.
A moment later.
Snoring began to sound in the room.
Under the cold moonlight.
The puddle of mud that the woman had looked at again and again suddenly began to churn, and some red mud turned out of the mud and gathered together like living creatures, creeping (harmoniously) towards the door of the woman's room.
Just got under the door.
The yellow talisman on the door beam curled up slightly like a leaf about to burn.
The movement of the red clay was abrupt.
Seems to hesitate for a moment.
Change direction.
Go to the shrine where there is no charm to shelter, and go to the direction of another "woman" in the family.
............
The little stammering brother had a strange dream.
He dreamed that the unscrupulous Bacchus uncle stuffed a cloud of red light into his belly, and then his belly grew as big as a pregnant woman.
The children around him came to laugh at him, saying that he was a freak and wanted to give birth to a freak.
He was very aggrieved.
This is not what he thinks, it was the old lady who forced him!
He ran home crying and crying......
"Wow, Wow, Wow!"
A dog barking woke him up from his dream.
As soon as I woke up, I felt that something was wrong.
It's cold and slimy down there.
Fortunately, the long lights in the shrine were not extinguished, and he stared at the misty sleepy eyes.
But just one eye.
Sleepiness flew out of the clouds.
But before I knew it, my two legs were broken apart, and I almost became an inverted W (harmony) shape. A small red figure lay on his stomach between his thighs, his hands on his thighs, and his hairless face was facing his "elephant", revealing an indescribable confusion.
Then.
The little red man seemed to sense his sobriety and looked up.
The two sides immediately glared at each other.
One is frightened, the other is confused.
Before he could scream, the little man suddenly plunged down to him as if he were diving.
"Ahh
Pause.
Heart-rending screams pierced the night sky.
It is really sad for the listeners, and tears for the hearers.
The people in the vicinity were like boiling water opening a pot, and the sound of scolding, roosters, dogs, and children crying all started at once.
The woman was awakened by the commotion, and realized that the screams were coming from the temple and from her eldest son, so she hurriedly picked up her stick and slammed out of the room in a panic.
Hurriedly rushed into the shrine.
But it was like a thunderbolt, and he stood on the spot.
I saw the eldest son crying, struggling, and rolling on the ground. Between his thighs, the crimson baby-like monster had already squeezed half of his body. Thanks to the big dog during the day, he grabbed one of the monster's legs and pulled it out desperately.
"Mother, save me!"
The woman woke up from a dream and hurriedly picked up her club and stepped forward.
But at this time.
The monster took the initiative to pull it out again, grabbing a ball of red clay in his hand and throwing it at the big dog's head. The dog "whimpered", let go of its mouth, and fell to the ground.
The monster took the opportunity to roll into the corner and disappeared.
Later.
The door was slammed open.
Li Changan and the three of them hurriedly broke into the door.
"What happened?"
The woman shuddered and grabbed Feng Chong.
"Demons, demons, monsters!"
......
It took the boss's strength to let the woman let go of her hand, and let the crying boy finish what had happened.
The three of them left a pair of plasters, and rushed to trace the demons, leaving the mother and son to hug and cry.
"Mother. β
This kid has already cried and spent his face.
"It's okay not to pretend to be a wine concubine. β
"Okay, okay, my mother listens to you, and I won't pretend to be in the future. β
"So, is it okay for us to have a dog?"
The woman is accustomed to refusing, but when she thinks of the desperate rescue of the big white dog, her heart is soft.
"Mother listens to you. β
"Great!"
The boy's face jumped with joy for a moment.
"Xiaobai, you can finally live in our house. β
"Wang. β
"There are also little black, little yellow, flowers, ......"
The woman's face turned black to the bottom of the pot.
............
Putting aside the problem of the two mothers and sons raising dogs.
Li Changan and the three of them followed the traces left by the monsters, pursued them all the way, and finally arrived at a family.
Against all odds.
It turned out to be the Hou family that he had only visited during the day.
"How? Do I have a monster in this house?"
Hou Yuanwai asked very politely.
This is not surprising either.
Anyone who was woken up in the middle of the night was told that there was a demon infiltrating the house, and that they would be searched inside and out, and everyone would find out their identity.
No one will have a good word to send.
But fortunately, the three of them have special identities, and they also have a relationship during the day, plus the rumors in the city recently. Hou Yuanwai didn't sweep the three out of the house in the end, but pinched his nose and agreed.
Merely.
Li Changan sacrificed Chong Longyu, Feng Chong held the compass and searched the mansion inside and out, but he didn't find the demon at all.
At this moment, the other party has no reason to be patient.
"Strange. Feng Chong scratched his head anxiously, "That monster obviously entered this house, and there is still a demonic aura in the house, and there is no sign of leaving, why can't you find it?!"
Bo Ziyu was a little unwilling, and wanted to go up and argue with Hou Yuanwai.
But the Taoist priest quickly stopped him.
"It's me who is reckless and harassing your mansion. β
"It doesn't matter. β
Although the staff has a stinky face, they haven't turned their faces.
"The three of them are also the hearts of fists. β
It's over, maybe I'm worried that the three of them will come up with some moths, but they took the initiative to send them out.
I just got to the door.
I was about to wave my sleeves goodbye.
Li Changan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed him.
The layman was silent. β
Hou Yuanwai was surprised to meet the fierce gaze of the Taoist priest.
"The monster is in the belly of the lady!"
