In fact, Su Dazhuang can also be regarded as a famous figure in Qingtuan Village.

Under the shade of the ancestors, the old Su family has nearly 20 acres of land in the west of the village, and they have hired people to cultivate and take care of it diligently over the years. While accumulating a lot of family foundation, he also renovated his family house and married a beautiful daughter-in-law.

Su Dazhuang is kind and generous, and he often helps one or two with something in the neighborhood, and has won an excellent reputation.

Walking on the road, the villagers who are ten years old should also call him sincerely: Brother Zhuang.

But now, his heart is empty and unsteady.

That's the way it is.

The evening before yesterday, the Su family was brightly lit. The door of the inner room was closed, and the midwife's voice came from inside, "work harder, work harder".

Su Dazhuang paced back and forth at the door of the outer room, his anxious expression overflowing.

Suddenly, it was dark without warning. The surroundings were plunged into a complete, frozen darkness.

Nothing can be seen.

Su Dazhuang couldn't help but panic, and he shouted at the darkness around him:

"What's going on? Yun'er? Yun'er, are you alright?"

A strange and terrible cry overhead drowned out his voice.

"Chirp—"

Su Dazhuang felt his scalp heat slightly.

It's supposed to be a strange bird, right?

Suddenly there was a warm light in the darkness. Su Dazhuang walked along the light. Walking in, he saw clearly that it was a statue of Daode Tianzun placed in the center of the table.

I saw an old man with white hair and long beard sitting on top of the lotus, holding a golden gourd vase in his left hand and holding the dust lightly in his right hand.

In the light of a dreamlike bubble, the dust seemed to sway slightly.

Su Dazhuang's heart jumped, he rubbed his eyes, and when he looked at it again, it seemed to be an illusion.

The darkness in the room was fading.

He glanced out of the room. It's still the ultimate darkness, frozen like a solid.

Su Dazhuang was anxious in his heart, and suddenly a crisp cry came from the room. This cry was immature and clear, like the first sound of the world.

Then, nine days away, a muffled thunder exploded.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the darkness outside the house faded like a tide.

Heaven and earth returned to normal.

The door of the inner room opened, and the midwife trotted out and said happily to Su Dazhuang: "The owner, it is the handle, the mother and child are safe." ”

Su Dazhuang didn't seem to hear it, and asked in a daze, "Did anything happen in the room just now?"

"It's nothing," the midwife looked confused.

Su Dazhuang followed into the room like a wood and took the baby from the midwife.

Looking down, I saw that the baby's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and he met Su Dazhuang's gaze, and then showed a smile.

Da Zhuang suddenly had a grotesque feeling and hurriedly looked away.

"Look at our children, crying so loudly. A smile appeared on his wife Yun'er's pale face.

"You said he was crying......"

"Boss, it's a blessing to cry loudly!" said the midwife.

Isn't he laughing...... Su Dazhuang's lips trembled, he didn't say the second half of the sentence, and squeezed out a reluctant smile.

On the one hand, he was afraid of frightening his weak wife, on the other hand, in the presence of outsiders, he was afraid of rumors, and on the third part, he suspected that he was delirious and hallucinating.

When I looked down again, I saw the baby crying with his eyes closed.

Anyway, the cry is real. Su Dazhuang comforted himself so much at that time.

————

For two days, the village was shrouded in an atmosphere of panic.

In broad daylight, the village was also as dead silent.

With a little family background, those who can still walk have already dragged their families and fled out of the mountain. The old men and old ladies who couldn't walk could only lock themselves in their homes.

The floating population carries the news of the movement, and the Youth League Village is famous. One spread ten to hundred, so the small place of Baishan County is also famous in the state.

There were Taoist priests who claimed to be ghost hunters who came to the county seat in groups and set up hexagram stalls.

If you want to say why don't you go to the Youth League Village to find out, but you can't find the way. As for the villagers who have just escaped from the mountains, they are all unwilling to come forward and do not want to get involved in this bad luck.

There seems to be no popularity in the village of Qingtuan Village. The barren weeds seized the opportunity to grow violently.

Su Dazhuang also had the intention of leaving. But thinking that his wife was still weak and weak, he might not be able to bear the pain of the long journey, so he gave up.

At noon that day, there was a knock on the door of the Su family.

Su Dazhuang felt a little strange, who else was wandering around outside in this scene?

He stood behind the door and whispered, "Who is it?"

"Da Zhuang, I'm the village chief. I invited the Heavenly Master from the county. The Heavenly Master has great powers, and he wants to solve this Laoshzi matter for us today. The village chief was full of confidence, and said loudly while continuing to bang on the door.

"Come with me to the village and gather at the head of the village to watch the Taoist master cast a spell to eliminate demons. ”

Su Dazhuang had no choice but to take away the wooden stake against the door, remove the deadbolt, and open the door.

"I still have a few more to call, let's go. ”

He looked confident. Although his face was pale due to lack of sleep, he was in good spirits.

Su Dazhuang trotted back to the house and said to his wife, closed the door, and followed the village chief.

He was banging the door of another house.

Su Dazhuang followed the crowd to the head of the village. It's bustling here. For two days, everyone locked themselves in their homes, and kept silent about the strange things of the day before yesterday, for fear of committing any taboos.

At this moment, there are more backbones, and there are many people who are courageous, so the words will naturally be unable to be contained.

Looking up, I saw a table covered with red cloth in front of the crowd, and there were talismans, compasses and other things on the table. Behind him stood a Taoist priest with a bun of hair and a peachwood sword at his waist.

This Taoist priest looked arrogant, raised his chin slightly, and glanced at Su Dazhuang and the others at this time, and then looked away without interest.

Su Dazhuang listened silently to everyone's conversation.

“...... I've lived half my life, and I've never seen that scene. ”

"That's right. Fortunately, God sent down thunder. ”

"Isn't it an old demon who has become a fairy and suffered a catastrophe?"

The old man of my family said that he heard the trees all over the mountain as if they were crying. It's not good, it's a dryad!"

Su Dazhuang had never heard the sound of the trees. But he suddenly remembered that the moment before the thunder sounded, his own flesh and blood just cried for the first time. There is also an inexplicable smile behind the eyes......

The more I think about it, the more unsteady I feel.

Could it be that I gave birth to a demon? Su Dazhuang muttered in his heart.

At this moment, the Taoist priest cleared his throat with a hum and drew his attention away.

I saw that the Taoist priest's left hand was placed behind his back, and his right hand turned into a palm and pressed down.

The crowd quickly fell silent. He glanced around and said slowly:

"This celestial master has lived in the mountains for a long time, and he is often accompanied by birds and beasts. After cultivating for 20 years, he has always taken it as his responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate demons and help humanity. Hearing that there is a change in this place, I will consolidate my responsibility, so I will not hesitate to hear it. ”

Everyone stared at him with eager eyes.

"But!" the Taoist priest paused, then said, "The law is not empty. What you gain will lose something. He stretched out his five fingers and faced the crowd.

Su Dazhuang had a bad premonition in his heart.

The crowd fell silent for a moment. The atmosphere was awkward. Finally, it was the village chief who spoke up.

"Heavenly Master. Five taels of silver as incense money, which is a little bit of everyone's heart. ”

The Taoist priest remained motionless, still holding out five fingers.

"Ten...... Fifteen taels!" said the village chief through gritted teeth.

The Taoist priest nodded, and said without changing his face: "The Tao is natural, and sincerity is spiritual." ”

He picked up the compass from the table: "This way will find out the culprit and eliminate the demon guard." ”

He paced back and forth, holding a compass in his left hand and a sword finger in his right hand, and the words in his mouth.

“...... Haste as a law!"

When I looked at it again, I saw that the compass pointer was spinning at a very fast speed.

The Taoist priest showed a puzzled expression and patted the compass.

Isn't it broken? I've never had such a problem?

The Taoist priest quietly glanced at everyone. They don't seem to be aware. He breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that there seemed to be a very old locust tree growing around him.

So he looked down at the spinning compass, and walked quietly towards the locust tree, pretending to be guided. The villagers did not dare to speak out and followed.

Walking up to the locust tree, he raised his head, stared at the locust tree for a long time, and then said loudly: "That's right, the locust tree is a ghost in the wood, and it stands at the head of the village, exhaling the breath of the living and the essence of the sun and the moon, gradually opening up the wisdom, and eventually becoming a disaster." ”

"Wait for this way to cast a spell to get rid of this demon. ”

The Taoist priest took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, wrote "Five Thunder Oil Pool Fire Talisman", and said loudly:

"This oil is not an extraordinary oil, Lu Ban gave me to burn the evil master, the evil law oil, the disciple wears a fire cap on his head, wears a fire suit, and steps on fire shoes, burning the Eastern evil master, burning the Western evil master, burning the northern ghosts and demons, burning the central evil law, all the spirits turn into dust, I respectfully ask the six stars of the Southern Dipper, the seven stars of the Big Dipper, I am in a hurry like a law. ”

As the sound fell, he threw the talisman into the air with his left hand, and took the peachwood sword with his right hand and stabbed forward. The tip of the peachwood sword pierced through the talisman and nailed straight to the tree.

Immediately, I saw the talisman spontaneously combust and turn into ashes.

The Taoist priest secretly said that it was not good, and he really bumped into the main master.

"Whew-"

A black strange wind rose from the ground, rolling up the sky-high dust, and there was a faint scream mixed with it, enveloping the Taoist priest with his head and face.

Before Su Dazhuang and the others could react, they were blown east and west by this gust of wind, and in the dust, they closed their eyes in a panic.

When the surroundings were quiet, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the Taoist priest lying to the side, his face pale, his eyes closed, and dark red blood flowing from his ears.

"Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master!" the bold one tried to scream.

The Taoist priest remained motionless.

Su Dazhuang felt that the big thing in his heart was not good, and suddenly he heard a scream in his ears.

Someone pointed in the direction of the locust tree and trembled in a voice: "Blood, the locust tree is bleeding." ”

Bright red blood slowly flowed out of the tree, staining the mahogany sword red.

"Snap"

The peachwood sword fell. Su Dazhuang's heart jumped.
