Chapter 353: Night Walking
Chen Tang jumped down, his body was light. With the continuous growth of the true qi in his body, his martial arts improved rapidly. Among them, "Nine Extreme Techniques" has been blended to a great realm, whether it is fists, or palm techniques, or finger claws and leg skills, etc., all of which can be trusted and change at any time. And "Grass Reckless Sword Technique" is even more subtle, coupled with the self-created move "Breaking the Cauldron", which is extremely powerful. It can be said that he has gone from being a second-rate in the Nanfu County period to becoming a first-class.
Second-rate, it is Yan Huandan's evaluation of him.
The foundation of progress lies in the qi of heaven and man, and if you want to improve your breath, you must continue to absorb it. The situation of evil infestation is a disaster for many people, but for Chen Tang, it is an opportunity.
At night, most of the manor was dark and dreary, outlined in the faint light of the stars and moon, like a huge beast. There are a lot of dogs in the manor, and they take care of the family. The barking of the dog had been heard before, but it quickly fell silent, highlighting the anomaly.
Of course, Chen Tang was not the only one who was alarmed by the sound of the dog, but the others all cowered in the room, and even rolled up the quilt together, hiding inside and shivering.
In the past, the manor had always been very stable. The high-walled compound was patrolled by family members, and nothing happened. After all, this place is the Gu family's industry, although Gu Xuezheng's authority has been weakened, he is always a big member of the party, and no one dares to provoke him.
But now, things are changing.
Chen Tang moved quietly, sweeping towards the direction where the dog's barking was the first to sound. Lanterns hung on the outer walls of the manor, and figures could be seen walking in the light of the fire, which were strong men who were keeping vigil. They obviously also felt that something was wrong, but they were afraid and did not dare to come and inspect, but hid on the sentry post and gathered together to strengthen their courage.
These strong men can only do some superficial fists and feet, if they are allowed to deal with the bandits, they may still fight hard, but if they face the unknown evil, everyone will be weak in their hands and feet, and they will not dare to move.
In a sentry post, three men nested back to back, holding short knives in their hands, and the firelight reflected three frightened faces.
"Second Fang, did the dog bark badly before......
"Nonsense, don't you hear that too?"
"Then do you think there will be a thief who has touched it......?"
"I think it's a thief, but where do you get in? Don't you hear, those dogs only bark a few times and then they stop. ”
"The dogs don't bark anymore, can they all be killed?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. There are at least more than 10 dogs in the manor, what means can kill them at once? Farm chickens and dogs are not only as simple as livestock and poultry, but the two often have some special symbolic meanings......
The second Fang swallowed his saliva vigorously and said hesitantly: "You say, could it be that the things in the field ran out?"
The other strong man's teeth chattered: "Don't scare me. ”
"Saying that my legs and stomach were weak, at dusk, I heard Wu Ada's mouth, saying that Song Xiaoyi was very strange when he fetched water, it seemed that something in the well hooked him, and then pulled him into the well. ”
A gust of wind blew, and the three of them were all shivering.
"I remember, some time ago, didn't an immortal master from the Divine Lotus Sect pass by, pointing and pointing, saying that our manor is full of evil spirits, and a catastrophe is coming?"
Fang Lao Er asked: "Is there such a thing? Why don't I know." ”
"The steward has already ordered us not to come into contact with the immortal master of the Divine Lotus Sect, and he even sent someone to drive the other party away at that time. But I think that the immortal master seems to have real skills, and he must have seen something. ”
"According to what you mean, you should invite the immortal master of the Divine Lotus Sect to sit in charge, not someone sent by Xingongzi?"
The strong man hurriedly said: "I didn't say it, but you think, what the gods are talking about, you should let special people deal with it." ”
The two nodded when they heard this, very agreeable. This understanding has long formed a consensus in the market and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Speaking of which, they didn't trust Chen Tang and his entourage, and felt that they lacked some heat. If the incident cannot be suppressed, there will be a lot of trouble and there will be more deaths, but it will be serious. Who dares to guarantee that it will not be their turn next? Although they didn't dare to question it in front of Chen Tang, it was no problem to discuss it secretly.
Fang Lao Er sighed: "The immortal master of the Divine Lotus Sect is walking in the countryside, preaching and preaching. I've heard that in some places, they travel with a whole team of honor guards, with great fanfare, men and women, very grandiose. There are really a lot of believers, chasing after donating money. ”
"But the steward said that they are all liars, or chaotic parties, caught by the court, and want to raid their homes and behead. ”
Although the situation is chaotic, the existence of the imperial court is still deep-rooted, at least in the lower ranks, it still has unquestionable authority. The scope of activities of the Divine Lotus Sect is mainly concentrated in the countryside on the outskirts of Panzhou, and although there are people in the city who do things, they are not on the surface.
"You should not say these things, lest you get into trouble. If the steward hears it, he will kick us out. In this world, how can you survive outside?"
Hearing this, they didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Who?"
Suddenly, Fang Lao Er seemed to notice and shouted suddenly.
The other two were taken aback, Huo Ran stood up, holding a short knife in his hand, and asked nervously, "Second Fang, what did you see?"
Fang Lao Er's hand holding the knife was trembling slightly: "Just now, I seemed to see a figure floating outside. ”
"Floating?"
The two of them suddenly felt their scalps tingle, and one said, "Otherwise, let's beat the gongs and drums." ”
It's an urgent warning that once it sounds, the whole manor will be alarmed.
"But I'm not sure if I'm dazzled ......."
Fang Lao Er licked his dry lips, unable to make up his mind. At a glance, I didn't see it clearly.
"So, let's go out and have a look?"
The three of them looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and always made up their minds to go out together to have a look. They agreed that no matter what the situation, they would not disperse, walk together, and if they found something wrong, they would ring the gong.
Call!
However, before the three of them could go out, a gust of wind swept in and whined.
This is a yin wind, blowing on the body, and the whole body is cold.
"What?"
Fang Lao Er, who was walking in front, was shocked, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he was about to ring the gong in his hand. It's just that when the wind blows, the whole person feels depressed, groggy, and can't do anything.
There was a babbling sound, but the wooden gate of the sentry post was blown and slowly closed.
The wind dissipated, but the lights were still on, and from the outside, the whole outpost was very calm and uneventful.
