Chapter 375: The Father-in-law of the Land

Please enter the text, but no one has actually seen it. www.biquge.info By this time, these officers should have received the news, such as that they would encounter demons on the way. The orders handed down in the army are different from the rumors of ordinary people. This means that the thing is real, and it is highly likely to be encountered, to say so.

"It is said that evil is invincible and right...... "Fire Commander Xu Mou muttered to himself, his tone trembling slightly, as if he felt fear, "Why do you say that those demons have turned the sky upside down now." Why are you still swarming on the road and killing people? Doesn't it mean that the yang qi of Xingwu is heavy...... Why don't those immortals care?"

Ding Min's face was not good-looking. But as the commander of this small team, of course he can't be discouraged at this time. He shook his head: "Those immortals, alas, high in the sky, where can they see this little thing about us? General Li's son is a big man in our eyes, but in the eyes of the immortals, he is not even a fart!"

"Maybe the demons will run rampant for a few more days...... The immortals are in charge. Ding Min shook the fire with a dark face, "We have to hold out until then, and we have to take the brothers out safely." ”

The five fire captains seemed to be convinced by his explanation, and nodded in unison. I was slightly relieved to see it.

But Li Yunxin only smiled. These soldiers.

In their hearts, the monks of the Dao Tong and Sword Sect were immortals, omnipotent, and the embodiment of justice and justice. But really? Their immortals don't know it, and they don't wipe it out with a wave of their hand—they see it as an even rival.

And the immortals...... It's not the kind of immortals they imagined.

He listened to the conversation of the five junior officers, and he could also hear the conversation of ordinary non-commissioned officers over there. And those soldiers don't seem to know about the "demons" thing. The terrible inside story was only reported to the fire chief, and the officers at the grassroots level did not seem to be willing to explain the truth to the soldiers in advance, only saying that they might encounter fierce and terrible beasts.

Beast...... It's still something that is in common sense. If you say that there are really demons, I'm afraid there will be deserters halfway through.

By this time the night was getting deeper. Originally, these officers and soldiers made fires, boiled water, and baked cakes to eat. Now that he has eaten and drunk enough, he intends to rest.

However, at this time, a few soldiers were pulling under the fire for a while, and pulled out a lump of mud. The earth was blackened by the fire, and the surface became a hard shell. The soldier drew the short knife from his waist and struck it hard with the back of the knife, and the hard shell cracked.

Suddenly, the smell of meat overflowed, making many people's eyes straighten.

Li Yunxin was distracted from listening to their small talk, and learned that when he was camping here, he accidentally caught a rabbit. At this time, the rabbit is sticking to the autumn fat, fat and beautiful. But when marching in the field, there is a rule - the squad cannot eat blood at night. The original intention should have been to say that he was afraid that the bloody gas would attract wild beasts. But at this time, I was probably more afraid of attracting demons.

So the soldiers secretly wrapped them in mud and burned them under the fire, and then they took them out.

Seeing this scene, the officers Ding Min and Xu Mou first came over and reprimanded a few words. But in the end, their relationship with the soldiers is good, and it will be over. A veteran is not too hot to tear his hind legs and give it to the commander. But where can rabbits cooked in this way be delicious without skinning or gutting?

The officers didn't eat it, but the soldiers didn't dislike it, and rushed up. In the blink of an eye, only half of the rabbit remained, and some internal organs remained.

The six officers looked at them like this, and their faces looked a little better. It was probably such a lively and joyful scene that slightly diluted the gloom in their hearts - and they saw popularity again.

That's when it ...... Suddenly, there was a gloomy wind in the woods.

This yin wind will be strange for anyone with the most nerves. The wind was blowing against the tip of the grass, and although it was not large, it blew a few bonfires rattling and flickering, as if they were about to be extinguished. Although it was a cool autumn night, the wind was even cooler—it blew through the armor and the thin cotton clothes, and went straight to the marrow.

As a result, the camp, which was originally slightly noisy, suddenly fell eerily silent. The soldiers looked at each other with unswallowed food in their mouths, and the six officers' faces became even worse, and they clenched the handle of their waist knives and shouted in a low voice to cheer them up.

After three breaths, the yin wind dispersed. The forest was calm again, as if nothing had happened. However, in the darkness of the forest not far away, an old man slowly walked out. This old man's face was so wrinkled that he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, and there were all vertical and horizontal ravines. The sparse white hair was loosely pulled up on the top of his head, and his beard had fallen out.

But he wore a red robe and a wooden crutch. With one hand on his back, he walked slowly towards the camp, looking as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

When the soldiers saw that it was an old man, some of them didn't care and ignored him. Others, who believed in ghosts and gods, stared at him with round eyes and amazement—an old man suddenly ran in the middle of nowhere, and it always seemed strange to men.

Only the six officers who knew the inside story were like a great enemy.

But I saw that Ding Min held the short knife on his waist, stepped out, and shouted to the old man: "What person?!"

The old man did not answer him immediately. Instead, he walked a few more steps unhurriedly, and when the two of them were less than ten steps away, he squinted and laughed: "Oh, who are you descendants?"

His smile was a little kind, and his voice was hoarse and low, sounding like an ordinary old man. Ding Min glanced at each other with several fire captains, and said in a deep voice: "We are soldiers of Daqing. ”

The old man squinted and smiled: "Wow...... The soldiers of Qingguo. Passing by my land...... How can you steal my food? ”

Ding Min was slightly stunned. was about to speak, but the old man stretched out his hand to the fire and pointed: "This one you eat is the treasure of my red aunt's heart." Sneaking out today, and now like this, isn't she going to trouble my old man?"

His eyes rolled again, and he swept around: "And burned my firewood—ate my flesh, burned my wood, but made no offerings." ”

Don't laugh at that. Putting the wooden crutch on the ground, he paused angrily: "You descendants, don't respect ghosts and gods, hmph, do you still want peace!"

When the people heard him, they looked at each other again. Na Ding Min frowned, stared at the old man and said, "You...... Old man, Ah, sir...... Who the hell is it?"

The old man said, "Go and see what's under your fire!"

The fire he was referring to was the one whose soldiers had burned the rabbits before. This is a strange thing. Therefore, without waiting for Ding Min's order, the soldiers next to the fire had already thought about it and hurriedly used the spear shaft to move the firewood aside.

The dirt under the fire burned loosely, revealing what was underneath. It turned out to be ...... A small, broken shrine (kan). It seems to have been buried under shallow soil, and now it has only been revealed. The soldiers took a second look through the light of the fire.

The statue carved in the shrine is not this old man or who?

Those who are literate also saw a line of vague handwriting engraved on the niche - "Houdi Gonghu Lord Divine Seat".

Deng Shi was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. Ding Min and the fire chiefs also saw this thing, and their eyes were full of surprise. They knew about demons beforehand, and naturally they also believed in ghosts and gods. Now that I have encountered such a case, I naturally believe in seven points. But he only believed that the old man in front of him was not human, and he did not dare to believe that he was really the "lord of the thick land" - this means...... This old man is the local god of the land.

The officers knew they might encounter demons. Looking at this old man now, I only feel a chill down my spine. Na Ding Min gritted his teeth and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency...... Is it really the land here?, we are all rough men in the ranks, and we have offended you......"

The old man waved his hand, and his eyes rolled again: "That's it." ”

With that, he glanced at the bones and entrails of the hare beside the fire. Suddenly, there was a wriggling in his mouth, and his face looked like it was about to be deformed. He quickly turned around and coughed a few times.

Li Yunxin was beside the cold eyes from beginning to end—from the moment the yin wind swept by.

Of course, he could see that it was a demonic wind. The breath is mixed and impure, and the demonic power is also low. It can be seen that the spirit that emitted this demonic wind may just be a cultivation of artistic conception, and even the human body has not been transformed, so it can only be used as a trick.

At this moment, this "land" turned his head and coughed again, and Li Yunxin saw it clearly-

Where is the cough? Obviously, I saw the flesh and bones, and smelled the yang aroma of human cooking, and I was so hungry that I couldn't hold it anymore. That's why he hurriedly turned his head—and the half of his face showed its original shape.

It turned out to be a red-haired fox that was so old that he didn't have a few beards left. He grinned, and his crimson tongue licked quickly on his lips, and then he coughed a few times and turned his face out.

Then he turned his head again, narrowed his eyes, tried not to look at the food, and said, "That's it." You soldiers, do you know that there are many demons here, and all of them want to eat people? When you get here, you don't worship me, and if you go dozens of miles further, you have to be caught!"

Then he turned his eyes again, glanced at the pack horses in the woods, and then at the piles of goods, and said, "You have to follow me—I will take you to the west, and take another way, that you may be safe!"

If it were ordinary people and caravans who met such people on such a night, they might believe it. Ordinary people in this world are afraid of ghosts and gods, but they are not as prosperous as Li Yunxin's previous world. Therefore, some of the soldiers were terrified, and took his words seriously.

But this Ding Min frowned again. After thinking silently for a while, he pressed his waist knife and walked to the "land" step by step. When he was a step away from him, he stopped, bent down and made a gesture, and said, "The gods are above—"

The night was dark. Taking advantage of the dim night, Ding Min's right hand reached into the cuff. When these four words came out of his mouth, he straightened up suddenly—there was already a yellow paper note in his palm.

Li Yunxin heard him say it before, and he also knew it-along with the order that "you may encounter demons", there was also such a talisman. It is said that it can drive away evil spirits and ward off ghosts. Now that Li Yunxin finally saw this thing, he realized ...... Maybe it works. But it can only be used to deal with those real lonely ghosts and demons with extremely low Taoism.

It's too late, it's too soon. Ding Min spat on the rune paper, and then slapped the rune paper on the head of the "land" with lightning speed.

But when he heard a howl, a puff of green smoke rose from the old man's face and the place where the yellow fu had been glued. How could he stand this sharp pain? The figure shook in the darkness, and the buzzing sound turned into a puff of green smoke and dispersed.

As soon as Ding Min succeeded, he knew that this was not a "god", but a demon! Immediately, he took out the short knife on his waist and slashed it in front of him and in all directions, but he did not hit anyone.

Fire Commander Xu Mou also saw this scene. After being slightly stunned, he immediately shouted: "There is a demon...... There is a demon way! Formation, formation!"

After this sound, the forest suddenly became cloudy and whining. The trees shook as if they were about to topple over—the old fox was annoyed, and first let out a terrible laugh, and then the voice came from all directions: "You stupid men, dare to hurt me, whoa, yes, yes—I am the god of the land under the throne of the great king of Tongtian, the great general of the red fire under the throne of Yujun, and I will make it impossible for you to die well tonight!"
