Zhang Daozhen reluctantly let go of the big rooster, and then said: "This golden-eyed colored chicken is a divine object, according to classical records, with the blood of the Xuanniao, you have to give birth to it, maybe one day it will be able to transform into a divine bird."

Zhong Jushi, do you know that as the saying goes, the pheasant becomes a phoenix, which is to talk about these feathers with the blood of the divine bird, once the spiritual wisdom is opened, the Taoist heart is successful, and it will be incarnated into the divine bird above the nine heavens. ”

"Is this chicken really so powerful?" Zhong Ming was skeptical.

Xuanniao Zhongming has heard of it, according to the "Book of Songs": the Xuanniao of Heaven's destiny descended to give birth to business.

The story is about Shang Qi's mother, Jian Di, who accidentally ate the eggs of the Xuanniao in the suburbs, and became pregnant and gave birth to Shang Qi.

Shang Qi is the ancestor of the Shang tribe, and it is also the earliest civilized tribe in the humanistic records of this era, which can be regarded as the source of the original cultural inheritance.

Therefore, Xuanniao is also worshiped as a sacred bird, before the establishment of Qianchen, Xuanniao was also used as a totem of some countries, until later Qianchen established an empire, unified the vassal states before abolishing the Xuanniao's divine position.

In ancient records, Xuanniao is an existence similar to a phoenix, with black feathers, a red beak, a large body, a piercing cry, a piercing cry, and the magical power of the imperial envoy ghosts and gods.

That's why the old Taoist said that this golden-eyed colored chicken is of great use, and the evil corpse is an obscene thing, which is just restrained by the supernatural power of the Xuanniao.

But what Zhang Daozhen said was too mysterious, Zhong Ming looked at the big rooster in his arms and looked at it, and he really couldn't see that this dumb guy had any mysterious bird blood.

Throwing the Iron General to the ground, the big rooster flapped its wings and flew over the hillside, and it probably went home.

General Tie is extremely homely, except for going out to find green worms to eat on weekdays, he nests on the wall, either the roof of Zhong Ming's house or the roof of Liang Yu's house.

This Cailing big rooster was originally a pheasant in the mountains, but the heavy snow closed the mountain a few years ago, probably because there was no food, so he ran to Liang Yu's house to steal chaff to eat, and was just caught by Liang Yu.

On that day, Liang Yu grabbed the big rooster that was fluttering, and planned to open the meat, kill the chicken and make a tooth sacrifice, and happily came to find Zhong Ming to show off.

When Zhong Ming was curious, how did this big rooster survive.

A few years ago, there was a shortage of food, not to mention a pheasant, even a mouse could not be seen, and during the famine years, people could not even gnaw on the bark and grass roots, how could they leave a pheasant.

It is not easy for this pheasant to live, and it must be a little spiritual to avoid the clutches of those hungry people.

Zhong Ming bluntly asked Liang Yu to leave it and serve as a living clock for the village to ring at dawn.

Liang Yu was not very happy, and always thought that he would slaughter the rooster that day, so that he could open the meat.

It wasn't until later that Liang Yu took General Tie to the city to fight cocks with the group of green-skinned cocks and big roosters, winning eighteen games in a row, and becoming the famous chicken king, Liang Yu offered it as a treasure.

After all, the green-skinned hooligans always have some color in cockfighting, and General Tie won a lot of money for Liang Yu.

In the end, no one dared to fight with Liang Yu, no matter how good the rooster was, he couldn't make two moves under the claws of General Tie.

Liang Yu had no choice but to raise General Tie as the dawn bell of the village, and his attitude was much worse, and after the rooster crowed every day, there was always Liang Yu's scolding and scolding.

But he didn't think that he would save a divine object with a good thought that day, which made Zhong Ming unexpected, which was an unexpected joy.

Watching the big rooster flutter its wings and disappear behind the hillside, Zhong Ming couldn't help laughing, although there are constant trivial matters these days, there are always some accidents, but there is always no danger, and he has asked for a lot of benefits.

Counting the time, it was probably from the time he saved the big rooster, and Zhong Ming's luck improved.

It's still an excellent kind, first to ask for a cheap uncle, and then to the family heirloom knife and cheats, and the old willow ghost gives aura......

It took a long time for the bell to ring before he came back to his senses, and at this time Zhang Daozhen had already walked towards the village, and he said as he walked: "Poor Dao County is looking for a place to settle the apprentice, my apprentice has suffered internal injuries and needs to recuperate urgently." ”

"Zhang Daochang, wait a minute, I'll take you back to my house. ”

Zhong Ming shouted, and he turned around and told Liang Yu: "You are not allowed to make any more trouble for me, let me stand here honestly until dawn, if I make another mistake, I will definitely not spare you!"

Liang Yu nodded resignedly, holding the lamp and not daring to look at Zhong Ming.

He was very empty in his heart, and the matter of kneeling down to the immortal stone before had been hovering in Liang Yu's mind, and he didn't dare to talk to Zhong Ming, for fear of revealing anything.

Zhong Ming didn't see anything abnormal, and then he led Zhang Daozhen back to his house.

After settling the old Taoist priest at home, Zhong Ming hurriedly walked to Old Man Sun's house, and the people came back to give them an explanation, so that they could rest assured.

Zhong Ming walked out of the house, closed the door of the fence railing, and walked on the path of the muddy village.

The surroundings were quiet, there was not a single light, only the occasional red light of the Seven Star Array could see the surroundings clearly.

The mud village is like a ghost village, shrouded in red light.

When Zhong Ming walked to the vicinity of Old Man Sun's house, he heard the sound of whispering, and saw that there were many people standing or sitting around the courtyard of the Sun family, everyone was tightly crowded together, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Usually, if those mothers-in-law get together, there must be endless parents to talk about, but at this time, they are close to their own men and dare not whisper.

Only a few bold men occasionally asked how the situation was.

As soon as Zhong Ming approached the crowd, the crowd like a backwater pool immediately came to life, and someone shouted: "Mr. is back, it is Mr. Zhong who is back." ”

"Mr. Zhong, has the demon in the barren mountain hill been suppressed?"

"Sir, I just heard a big noise outside the village, is there something wrong?"

"Let's go, don't get in Mr. Zhong's way. ”

A group of people asked questions, Zhong Ming was not easy to answer, if he told the truth to this group of villagers, they were afraid that they would be scared to death.

Zhong Ming could only deal with it: "I have taken care of the matter, don't panic." ”

After a few words of comfort, the villagers were no longer so flustered, and they were relieved to hear the young man's words.

Since Zhong Ming has done several big things for the village, everyone has regarded him as the backbone, and when they saw Zhong Ming return safely, they have a lot of reliance in their hearts and are much more down-to-earth.

Walking through the crowd, Zhong Ming saw the old man Sun in the courtyard and immediately greeted him with a worried brow: "Xiao Zhong, how are things going?"

Glancing at Zhong Ming's two eyes, Old Man Sun had a look again: "Xiao Zhong, what about the two Dao Masters, why didn't they come back with you." ”

"Uncle Sun, come into the house and say. ”

Some of the words still don't want the villagers to hear, lest they think wildly.

Zhong Ming entered the house with Old Man Sun, and simply told him what happened in the barren hill, of course, he picked what he could say, like the death of the old mandrill and Li Que, Zhong Ming didn't say it, he was vague, and he said a word.

Old man Sun's brows furrowed even tighter after hearing this: "In this way, those evil spirits still ran out to harm people." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, anyway, the disaster won't harm us, but there may be changes in the border in the past two days, Uncle Sun, you have to tell everyone to go out less.

That's it for tonight, with Liang Yu and them supporting the big array, there will be nothing wrong in our village, you tell everyone to go home and sleep, everything will wait for dawn. ”

Zhong Ming explained to Old Man Sun that he didn't want to stay here any longer, he never liked to listen to the crowd arguing.

The next thing was handed over to Old Man Sun, and Zhong Ming turned around and walked out of the house.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Sun Luolian coming up from the side, and the little girl's face was full of worry: "Brother Zhong, you just went out, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired and want to go home and rest. ”

Waving his hand, Zhong Ming really felt tired, and didn't want to say more to Sun Luolian.

Sun Luolian bit her lip, nodded and said, "Then Brother Zhong should hurry home and rest." ”

"It's not too early, you go to bed early, you're fine, you don't have to wait here. ”

Zhong Ming smiled and comforted the little girl, and he was about to go out again, but before he took two steps, Sun Luolian pulled his sleeve.

Zhong Ming looked back and saw Sun Luolian pointing to his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhong, your clothes are so torn, take it off and I'll make it up for you." ”

At the place of the shoulder, there was indeed a hole, I don't know if it was torn when I was fleeing for my life or during the fight, Zhong Ming stared at the hole twice, and then didn't make a sound.

Sun Luolian thought that Zhong Ming couldn't believe her needlework, after all, she cultivated the mandarin duck into a fat duck last time.

The little girl's pretty face turned red and said, "Brother Zhong, don't worry, my sewing skills are much stronger than embroidery." ”

Zhong Ming also understood the little girl's embarrassment, he smiled slightly, and took off the brocade robe outside: "Xiaolian, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Don't bother, when I finish repairing it, I'll send it to Brother Zhong. ”

Holding Zhong Ming's scholarly robe, Sun Luolian's face flew with a double glow, and she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

Rubbing Sun Luolian's head, Zhong Ming smiled: "Then I'll go back and rest first." ”

When Zhong Ming turned around and left, Sun Luolian hugged the brocade robe, looking at the young man's back and was stupid.

What followed was the sigh of Old Man Sun's hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

"You silly girl. ”

Old man Sun shook his head and sighed, but Sun Luolian turned a deaf ear, snickered and entered the house with a brocade robe.

The muddy village, which has not been lit for a long time, finally has a light tonight, it is the small courtyard of the Sun family, and a girl who is falling lotus is sewing and mending her sweetheart's clothes under the oil lamp.

On the other hand, Zhong Ming didn't think much about it, he casually dismissed the villagers and let them go home.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard of the Sun family, Zhong Ming met Carpenter Li in a robe, his face was worried, it should have been Hu Su who told him that Fang had just shaken the light and was attacked by the evil corpse.

Carpenter Li looked at the door and asked in a deep voice: "Boy Zhong, this big array is really easy to use, why did I hear about it......

Before Carpenter Li finished speaking, Zhong Ming interrupted him in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Li, many people are here." ”

Pointing to the group of villagers behind him, Zhong Ming didn't plan to go around in circles with Carpenter Li again.

Carpenter Li has always been a master who is not shocked, and he is a figure like a crane on weekdays, and rarely asks about trivial things like sesame mung beans like the people in the village.

Tonight, he can make Carpenter Li open Chrysostom abnormally, not because his eldest son Li Guangling is still holding a bronze lamp on the Tianshu throne, he is worried about his son.

These careful thoughts, Zhong Ming can understand at a glance.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, Guangling will not be in danger, if you don't worry, just ask Hu Orion to take a look, you can't leave, this time you say you want to stop, and it will be dawn." ”

After speaking, Zhong Ming waved his hand, turned his head and walked back: "I'm going home to sleep." ”

Zhong Ming's perfunctory answer was in his ear, and Carpenter Li looked at his back and sneered: "This kid is really a ghost." ”

It wasn't until Zhong Ming's figure disappeared on the country road that Carpenter Li smiled and said, "The grass and the young swallow are heroic, don't wait for the princes to wait and see." ”

......

Under Zhong Ming's advice, Old Man Sun persuaded all the villagers of Mud Village to sleep at home.

Said to go home to sleep, in fact, most people can't sleep, although they haven't seen the tide of corpses descending the hill with their own eyes, but the strange atmosphere and sound are enough to make them scared.

Everyone waited at home, waiting for the dawn to break.

The instinctive fear of the night may be in their hearts, and when the day dawns, the evil is gone.

But is it really all about that?

No one can say for sure whether the tide of corpses will recede tomorrow.
