Chapter 4: The Great Terror
"And what do we do now?" the old man almost cried.
Ying Wuxin said with a serious face: "Taboos generally have a range of limitations, it can't be too big, most of it is the entire courtyard here, we can be safe if we quit." β
The old man picked up the fortune-telling banner he had dropped earlier, and was about to run out of the yard, but when he saw Ying Wuxin bowing down and withdrawing from the house, and walking cautiously backwards, he also understood, and hurriedly followed the example, bowing down and retreating a little bit, for fear that he would be too reckless and encounter misfortune.
Taking a few steps back, the old man's gaze flickered a few times at the wooden house, and he was about to subconsciously think about what happened to Liu Gencheng just now, but another consciousness in his heart hurriedly issued a warning, don't think about it-danger.
However, even though he knew the danger, his mind still couldn't control his thoughts in that direction, and the frightened old man was excited, and he quickly shook his head vigorously.
"Smack-"
Ying Wuxin's backhand was a big slap and pulled out, and he said with a fierce face: "Old man, what's your name?"
The old man was beaten with a confused face, but he still replied honestly: "Back to the words of the little Taoist, the little old man's name is Wang Yixian, and he lives by telling fortunes to others, because the calculation is more accurate, he is often called half an immortal." β
Syllable!
Another resounding slap in the face.
"You've been called half-immortals, where else can you go?"
Wang Banxian covered his red face that was pumped, and his aggrieved tears rolled in his eyes, "Little Dao Ye is clear, I am actually not too bad at the old man, I want toββ"
Bang Bang Bang ......
With three big mouths in a row, Wang Banxian's face was swollen and his nose bleededs.
"What so much nonsense, whatever I ask you, you will answer, and if you dare to be verbose, I will leave you. β
Wang Banxian's face turned pale with fright, and he nodded in fear.
Syllable!
"Where do you live?"
Syllable!
"How many people are in the family?"
Syllable!
"How did you think about coming to Sanliuzhuang?"
Ying Wuxin slapped Wang Banxian's big mouth while asking, Wang Banxian was beaten and dizzy, but he still answered honestly, and the two of them didn't stop, went out of the courtyard gate, and finally went outside.
Ying unintentionally raised his hand to continue fighting, Wang Banxian jumped away, protected his face with one hand, and warned with the other: "Little Daoist, enough, enough, we have come out safely." β
"Do you know why I hit you?"
Wang Banxian squeezed a pig's head like a face and smiled: "Of course I know, this is Xiao Daoye's order to save me and prevent me from thinking cranky and encountering taboos." β
Ying Wuxin smiled, "You're very smart." β
Wang Banxian smiled, and was quite complacent, although he was beaten, he saved his life, much stronger than Liu Gencheng.
"Then do you know why I'm asking you all kinds of questions?" Ying Wuxin said with a wicked smile.
Wang Banxian was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually widened, and his gaze looked at Ying Wuxin in disbelief.
Ying Wuxin said seriously: "The question is just to keep you from thinking nonsense." β
"Then why did the little Taoist still beat me?" Wang Banxian was about to cry when he was wronged, he felt that his face was also very painful, and his head was buzzing, which showed how serious he was beaten just now.
"Guess!"
After a few rounds of eyes, Wang Banxian knelt on the ground with a puff, hugged Ying Wuxin's thigh and said: "Little Daoist is gracious, my little old man is also poor, in order to support his family, he deceives the world once or twice from time to time, and he has not harmed the people too much, and I have deceived all bad people, I can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor, I beg the little Taoist to raise his noble hand, for the sake of my old age, there are not many years to live, so I will go around the little old man." β
Ying Wuxin glanced down at him, "You are really smart." β
"No, no, no, I'm not smart at all, the little Taoist is the real talent, no one can match it, my little trick was seen through by you all at once, and the Liu Gencheng just now, hiding so deep sins, let you see at a glance, you are really smart, the top of the smart, there will never be a second one in the world like you, a wise and extraordinary Taoist. β
Ying Wuxin nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, okay, get up, I slapped you a dozen times just now, and your punishment is over, but if you dare to go to the trap and deceive in the name of Daoxia in the futureββ"
"You're going to kill me!" Wang Banxian said neatly.
Ying Wuxin glared at him and reached out to close the door.
Wang Banxian got up from the ground happily, patted the dust on the hem of his robe, turned his head to look behind him, but at a glance, the scene in front of him made him instantly stunned, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, from the top of his head to his heels, from his fingers to his heart.
After closing the door of Liu Gencheng's house, Ying Wuxin also noticed something, and turned his head to look behind him vigilantly, but when he saw it, he was also stunned, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What's the matter?"
Under the bright moon, there is a river three or four zhang wide in front of you, the water surface is like a flat mirror, there is no slightest wave, and there is no sound of flowing water, and the jade belt winds into the hazy and dark night in the distance, and gradually disappears.
"Little Daoist, what's the situation?" asked Wang Banxian with trembling legs, the expression on his face was even more panicked than when he encountered the taboo just now.
Ying Wuxin's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not an illusion, this river is real, we should be-"
Before the words fell, Wang Banxian had already turned around in panic, pushed open the door of Liu Gencheng's house, and wanted to rush in to dodge, but after the door opened, the situation inside completely changed.
Wang Banxian only glanced at it, his legs were weak, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground anymore, and under the horror, he struggled to retreat away.
"Don't moveβ"
Ying Wuxin screamed, and pressed Wang Banxian's shoulder, so that he could not retreat, and at the same time reached out to close the door.
Behind the door was dim, and the courtyard and the hut were gone, except for a vague view of two large dam-like things slowly closing up and down, and a small black object five feet long and the thickness of a bucket was sandwiched in the middle.
Chirping!
The little black creature let out a cry, and then it was squeezed and burst, and the black liquid splattered out.
The distance was very close, and the unknown liquid was about to splash out, so he unintentionally slammed the two wooden doors shut.
Puff puff!
There was the sound of liquid pounding against the door behind it, and the sound of flesh crushing and bones breaking.
Squeaky ......
Then there was a terrifying friction sound like a ghost in the netherworld, which sounded chilling, and it felt like a chill was beginning to rise in my bones.
Whew-
With a sigh of relief, Ying Wuxin felt that his beating heart had finally fallen, his back had been wet with cold sweat, and he was blown by the night breeze, and the cold was in his heart.
"Little Daoist, in thereβ" Wang Banxian asked, pointing to the wooden door, his mouth trembling.
"Great terror. Ying Wuxin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "If we deal with the wrong thing just now, the end will be to fall into it." β
Thinking of the terrifying scene he saw just now, if he fell into it, it would be even more terrifying than falling into hell, and Wang Banxian's body stiffened by half.
Although he really wanted to leave this ghost place, the river that suddenly appeared in front of him and the great terror in the courtyard behind him made Wang Banxian no longer dare to act rashly, for fear of encountering misfortune.
