111. Fire

"Oh, you have to beware of her revenge, Yin and Yang are famous for being difficult characters in the Demon Path. "Jiang Xing is good

Yi said: "It seems that you taught her a lesson last night, and she must hate you to death." ”

"I know, I'm not afraid of her. "Oriental Magnolia is full of confidence.

"Brother, Sister Yaoyao has a letter......

The little palace master of the West Gate entered the room and handed Jiang Xing's secret piece.

After reading the secret document, Jiang Xing's face was grim, his lips as thin as a blade were pursed, and his eyes were cold.

"Son, Elder Han is here!"

"Haha, Old Han, I'm sorry for you this time!"

The immortal wind and bones of Han Xinde Han Old Man wore a cyan robe, and his smile was cute: "Haha, Jiang Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for many days, you are too polite." ”

"Is it going well with Xiao Su?"

"Very good! The little junior sister is worthy of being a cultivation wizard, and she has successfully crossed the tribulation, and now is the period of consolidation. ”

"That's good, do you think it's a different place?"

"The old man of the place has been found, hmph, see what the demons are capable of, dare to violate the laws of heaven and make waves!"

Green Park. It is indeed a veritable exquisite village, surrounded by pine and cypress as the garden fence, with the green bamboo as the courtyard wall, and the field holly as the road railing.

The grass is like shade, and the flowers and trees are sparse. Small pavilions, fake flashes, lotus ponds, and gardens are embellished like a delicate little color painting.

The whole house is green, and it is so green that it is full of business.

As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, there is a green flower stand, and the two corridors are several rows of various bonsai arranged quite unconventionally.

Old Man Han smiled: "Brother Jiang, this is it." It's time for us to prepare, time is running out, and it's still too late to prepare early. ”

The whole house was so busy for a while, and everything stopped at the beginning of the third watch.

Jiang Xing's room is divided into two couches on the left and right, Jiang Xing on the left and the small palace master of the West Gate on the right. On Jiang Xing's bed, a huge lotus pot was placed, and he was half-lying and half-sitting in the jar. There is a basket at the mouth of the tank, and nine large and thick iron pots are covered with it. At the top, a small candle with a dark appearance was lit.

The master of the small palace of the West Gate sat cross-legged on the couch, and there was a whetstone on the top of his head to press the bun. On the neck, there is a three-inch-wide peachwood sword, only one minute thin, three feet long, well-proportioned and smooth, and at a glance you can know that it comes from the hands of a skilled craftsman.

Old Man Han sat in the center of the room, with his treasure chest beside him, on the left and on the right, each with a wood

A tripod for work, in front of him, a large basin filled with ink. Behind him, a wooden stake was erected, and on the horizontal log on the top of the pile, a large rooster squatted.

The doors and windows were all hidden, and the only light was the small black candle placed at the bottom of the pot on the flower head in the fog, quietly

The ground emitted a hazy light, and the whole secret room seemed eerie and ghostly.

Old Man Han was closing his eyes and recuperating, his expression was calm like an old monk.

"Is this old man okay?"

Hartol asked curiously, returning with a full load.

"Xiao Su's senior brother, the head of the first line of heaven, there should be no problem. ”

Jiang Xing affirmed.

Three corrections, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the patio, and a whirlwind pillar was formed in a moment, blowing the fallen leaves in the patio into clusters, and the sound of dead leaves rubbing the ground was audible

The hair stood on and shuddered.

The window door slammed, and a black air burst through the crack in the window.

The flame of the candle flickered, began to elongate, and finally turned a dark green.

In an instant, the blue light increased with the black qi and began to rotate around the small candle, and the dark green flame flame also writhed and shone.

The blue light and black qi swirled faster and faster, and suddenly converged.

......A strange sound that made the teeth ache and tighten came out, and sparks splashed.

The first cauldron that covered it was scraped off by the blue light, except for the remaining five-inch pot base

Otherwise, the rest became broken iron filings.

The three-foot diameter of the large iron pot only had the bottom of the five-inch pot left, and the small candle flame on it was beating for a while, but it was not extinguished.

The black gas and blue light rose, swirled around the room, and in a moment it came out of the window, and the flame of the small candle returned to its original state.

Jiang Xing, who was hiding in the tank, broke out in a cold sweat and said in shock: "Old Man Han, is the witch gone?"

"Don't speak, it's not a witch who comes. "What kind of monster is it?"

"Demon Knife. ”

"This ......"

"Don't speak, the demon knife is about to go and return, and it won't retreat without blood. Here it comes. ”

The black gas was wrapped in blue light, and sure enough, it came back through the window, and without hesitation, he turned to the iron pot to repeat his old tricks.

Eight times in and out, scraped off eight large iron pots.

When the eighth pot was destroyed and the demon knife came out of the window, Old Man Han took out a wooden ladle and scooped a ladle of ink and poured it on the ninth pot.

Qingguang entered through the window for the ninth time, and under a spin, suddenly the green light flashed, with a soft sound, the black gas dispersed, the blue light jumped several times, gradually shrunk, and jumped on the bed, like a loach that suddenly left the water and was exposed to the sun, beating and trembling sharply, and finally jumped under the bed.

Old Man Han smiled coldly, took out a pair of tongs, protruded a loach-like blue light, sneered and threw it into the ink basin, and said to himself with a sneer: "One prosperity, two declines and three exhaustions, nine times in a row, it is too immeasurable." But you're not going to give up, come on!"

Outside the window, there was a sudden sound of an urgent wind, and the window door opened.

The golden mangs were dazzling, and at the same time there was a deafening thunderclap.

The light of the candle beat several times, but it was still not extinguished.

The whetstone above the head of the master of the small palace of the West Gate exploded into a burst of stone chips. Her face turned pale with horror.

The candlelight dimmed, a ghost roared outside the window, and a ghost fire floated in, turning into a villain when it touched the ground, and his body was violent

long, in the blink of an eye, he became a huge and friendless ghost king with hair, with a tile on his head, his eyes shining like a bowl with blue light, terrifying, his hands were open, and he was about to grab Old Man Han.

"Demon bold!"

Old Man Han sighed, took out the curved ruler in the treasure chest and said, "Come, let the old man see how tall you are." ”

Pinching the magic trick in his hand, he compared the ruler, and the ghost king suddenly became three feet shorter, and then he measured it three feet shorter.

"Huh, you're only an inch long, how can you be so scared?" said Old Man Han with a sneer.

Three quantities and five quantities, the ghost king really shrunk into a small puppet with a height of an inch.

Old Man Han grabbed the ghost king, dipped it in ink, then pressed it to the ground, took out a hammer and a bamboo nail, nailed the ghost king puppet to the tripod, and said coldly: "You only have this little bit of Taoism, you dare to put down the dragon gate array, you really don't know whether you live or die." ”

The puppet first writhed, and after the tip of the needle entered the wood, a star of blood flowed out, and then it fell silent.

Old Man Han stood up, slammed his face, and said to himself: "Good demon woman, it is too poisonous to actually sacrifice the Yin and Evil Yuan Shen, so don't blame the old man for doing it." ”

He took out a white jade ink bucket and quickly cut nine lines around it, forming a polygonal pattern, and surrounded himself in it. Ready to stop, snap your fingers, the only small candle is extinguished, and the room is so dark that you can't see your fingers.

Outside the room, there was a sudden gust of cloudy wind, which blew more and more tightly, and finally turned into a violent wind, and the doors and windows opened and closed, slamming.

The wind was raging, and the sound was like a galloping horse.

Countless ghost fires suddenly floated into the room and converged on Old Man Han. But a vision appeared, and the ghost fire approached the ink fountain

The periphery of the line was suddenly extinguished. It seems that the line is not drawn on the ground, but forms an invisible wall, and even the top door is closed, and there are no gaps, not only to keep the ghosts out, but to destroy them one by one.

The last cloud of ghost fire disappeared, the wind suddenly became more violent, and a green rainbow entered through the window, shooting directly at Old Man Han's Heavenly Spirit Gai.

Old Man Han bit the tip of his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood, blocking Qinghong.

Qinghong folded and flew out through the window, and it was fleeting.

For a moment, the black fog was cloudy, the cold air invaded the bones, and the whirlwind

Entering through the window, there was a strange sound of chains dragging the ground, and there seemed to be many people in the room dragging chains around the outside of the coils.

"Smack!" someone tripped over a tripod.

Old Man Han was no longer calm, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

The green light flashed, and it was a spirit banner glowing with green light entering through the window, and the void beckoned to Old Man Han, and the ghost howl was piercing.

He took out a three-point chisel, first cut his middle finger and dipped it in some blood, and began to recite the incantation silently, using it as he went

The chisel draws a talisman in the void, holding down the heavenly spirit cover with one hand, and when the chisel waves, the spirit flag swings slowly.

With a thunderclap, the spirit banner was urged, and suddenly it swept like lightning with an overwhelming sound.

Old Man Han leaned down, and the spirit banner passed by. The big rooster on the wooden pillar behind him, the head of the chicken suddenly broke off.

The conjuring banner flew out of the window, and the wind stopped.

Old Man Han let out a long breath and said to himself: "It's amazing, this witchcraft is not shallow." She's already seeing blood, so she probably won't come, so she should be satisfied, right?"

He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat off his face, and was about to stand up, when he suddenly saw the green rainbow entering through the window, and the whole room was reflected in the slight, and the human face was reflected in the green light

Below, it is extremely ugly, extremely terrifying, like a dead man's face.

The green rainbow suddenly grew, first with a slender, claw-like strange hand, as if from an infinite sky

Stretched out, just in the short space of Lu Ban stretched out from the window to the skillful hand, this terrifying strange hand turned from a big bowl to a thick giant hand, with five fingers and one hand, it was actually more than a zhang, and quickly grabbed Old Man Han.

Old Man Han snorted coldly, pulled out the peachwood sword on his belt, stretched out his foot, the basin flew up, the ink in the basin splashed on the giant hand, and with a loud roar, the peachwood sword broke through the air and flew.

"Ah......h

There was silence, and in the distance, there was the sound of drums from the fifth watch.

Old Man Han seems to have lost his strength, and uses the meditation style of the Five Mountains to recuperate.

After a long time, he struggled to get up, groped for a light fire, and lit a silver lamp.

The peachwood sword fell under the windowsill, and there was a normal one underground

The size of a broken arm, the hand is wrinkled and pale, and the nails are very long, and at first glance it is an old woman's hand.

Old Man Han removed the only nine five-inch-large pot bottoms left after the robbery, uncovered the xiaoji, helped out the faint Ximen little palace master, and shouted, "Get water quickly." ”

Footsteps sounded outside the room, and after a while, the maid brought a bowl of water and exclaimed, "Old man, home...... Miss Home

How...... What's going on?"

Old Man Han smiled bitterly: "The enemy is too strong, I have to remove the ban and extinguish her natal candle, therefore."

She's unconscious, it doesn't matter. ”

He took the water bowl, chanted words in his mouth, and drank saliva and sprayed it on the face of the little palace master of Ximen.

The little girl woke up suddenly and asked in surprise, "Uncle, what's the matter...... What's wrong?" Old Man Han began to pack up his clutter and said, "Fortunately, the witch has been injured and is not a matter of harm. ”

"Where's she?" Jiang Xing asked in surprise.

"I don't know where it is, but I guess it may be about three miles nearby. ”

Jiang Xing let out a long breath and said abruptly: "It turns out that the old man can also use Xuanmen spells, and I thought that the demon witch had practiced to not break the magic body." ”

Old man Han: "I don't have knowledge. He was actually in the mood to laugh at Jiang Xing: "Not bad, the Vajra Dharma Body is the Zen Technique of Buddhism, and the Shrinking Technique or the Golden Dun Technique is the Xuanmen Dao Technique, how can they be mixed together? Those are two completely different cultivation methods, and no one can smelt the two techniques of Buddhism and Taoism."

A furnace, that will go fire demons, and the cultivation will be completely destroyed. ”

"Then you ...... say"

"Xuanmen Taoism has a better function of relieving calamities than Buddhism Zen Gong, and the cultivation focuses on resisting swords and water

fire, that's why there are five elements of retreat to help cultivators survive the calamity. ”

Old Man Han shook his head and smiled: "Without the master's order, I can't use spells." This is not a spell, but a self-defense technique inherited from the sage master to his disciples, and you don't understand it, and you can't say, oh! Go find a bowl of tung oil, and a handful of lamp grass. ”

The maid hurried away, and soon came with the little girl of Oriental magnolia, and brought tung oil and lamp grass. The little girl had sharp eyes and shouted in horror: "Old man, there is a hand outside the window." ”

Old Man Han nodded and said, "Yes, it's the hand of an alien witch." Her nickname is the One-Armed Witch, and this time it's time to be called the Armless Witch. ”

Jiang Xing stepped forward and said, "I'm going to bury my arm, it's terrible to put it in the room." ”

Old Man Han stretched out his hand and said: "I can't move, before the rooster crows, you can fly back as soon as you are popular, then you will be numb."

Annoying. ”

"That ......"

"When I get rid of the witch's evil spirit, you can choose to bury it again. After Mr. Han finished speaking, he took the oil bowl and the lamp and candle to the tripod.

Jiang Xing saw the puppet nailed on the tripod and asked in surprise, "Old man, what is this?"

Old Man Han dipped the lamp grass in tung oil, stuck it on the puppet one by one, and said, "It is said that the demon is afraid."

Tung oil, you can't get off if you are stained with tung oil. The witch attaches itself to the puppet with seven spirits, and is called the Yin Shen Yuanshen. If the three spirits are also attached, it is called the natal primordial god. The natal spirit is still spiritual, and it only takes revenge on the enemy. If you don't trap the first yin evil to death, then seven will appear, so it is called the seven evil souls, where the mana goes, people and animals suffer. ”

He covered the puppets with oil-stained lamps and set them on fire.

The puppet suddenly began to writhe, and a strange shrill cry could be faintly heard, but if you listened closely, it was

Nothing was heard.

Old Man Han let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "It's not that the old man is ruthless, but this witch is too vicious, if she doesn't destroy her Yin Shen Yuanshen, I don't know how many people she will kill in the future." ”

"Is the witch dead?" asked the little palace master of Ximen in amazement.

"She can't die, the three souls are still there, only the seven spirits are destroyed, she has become an idiot and a waste;

The arm was also broken, if it hadn't been for the kind people who took her in,

I probably won't live long!"

Old Man Han waited until the puppet turned into ashes, then Fang took the treasure chest and said, "Okay, you clean up the room, the old decay is going to rest." ”

The little palace master of Ximen bowed his head on the couch and said, "Uncle Han, thank you old man." ”

Old Man Han laughed and said, "Child, you're welcome. Hehe, you don't have to worry about the outside world, you know?"

It was dawn, and Xie Yong and Wen Tianjian, who were guarding outside the house, also withdrew. During the night, they were on strict alert, but they did not realize that such an incredible and unbelievable strange thing had happened in the secret room of the inner court.

Old Man Han didn't go to bed, and immediately said to Jiang Xing: "Little Brother Jiang, you quickly take someone to the north of the village to find the witch." ”

"Where is the witch?" Jiang Xing asked.

"Between one and three miles, you can look near the peach grove or the aspen and you will probably find her. One of her arms is broken, and she is now a walking corpse. ”

"Then why bother looking for her, isn't she already a walking corpse?"

"But she will return to her lair on instinct. When you find her, don't alarm her, just follow her. Remember, bring some water and food, just in case

She traveled long distances, starving to death of thirst on the way. I'm here, you can go with confidence. ”

"Okay, I'll go. Jiang Xing said hurriedly.

A servant rushed in and saluted: "Two heroes have come to Taohualing in Xiaomo Mountain to ask to see, one surnamed Zhou and surnamed Wu." ”

Jiang Xing's thick eyebrows tightened, and he shook his head and said, "The sky is blue and the sun is white, they shouldn't come." ”

Soon, two sturdy men hurriedly entered the hall, and the leader saluted: "In the next week, please see the old man and the free son." I wonder which of you two is responsible for the current situation?

Jiang Xing invited the two of them to sit down, and said with a smile: "My surname is Luo, and I am currently acting as the director." But I wonder what the two of you are doing here?"

Zhou Hua flipped his wrist, and it was a red dragon-shaped token, "The dragon king has an order, and the small one comes to wait for the patrol envoy." ”

Jiang Xing also took out the token, and after the two of them investigated, they both nodded. Jiang Xing asked, "How is your situation there?"

Zhou Hua said with an uneasy expression: "My master received news from Hanyang this morning that the four uglies of Jin Yongcheng have already set off, probably for you Gongzi Luo. Old Man Han nodded and said, "Those four ferocious and vicious old demons will not stop if they don't kill them when they do it." ”

Jiang Xing was taken aback and asked, "You mean the four uglies of Jin Yongcheng?"

"It's them. ”

Jiang Xing asked with a solemn expression, "Brother Zhou, don't you have a large number of brothers nearby?"

"Yes. ”

"You use javelins and arrows. ”

"Yes. ”

"Can't you stop the four ugliness?"

"The brothers of Oshan are all people who dare to kill and fight, and if they really want to fight with the four ugliness, it is not difficult to stop them. However, the eighteen monks of Bao'an Temple in the north have left the county seat and may have come, and the brothers of Yishan are not afraid of fighting to the death with the bald donkeys, but are afraid of implicating the prince, and the suspicion of bandits is not trivial, so we must avoid it for the time being. As a last resort, the Chang family sent down to inform us that before the eighteen monks of Bao'an Temple left the vicinity, our brothers must stay away from this neighborhood. ”

"Oh, that means we're on our own. ”

"I'm sorry below. Zhou Hua said apologetically.

"Okay, you guys can leave, please greet your lord, thank you. Jiang Xing said politely.

"What Childe avoided......"

"Prepare now. "Well, I took my leave......

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yong rushed in in panic and shouted: "It's not a good thing, the eighteen monks of Bao'an Temple have surrounded Ben."

house, the people who wanted to come in to search for Xiaomoshan insisted on asking the prince to go out to negotiate outside the door. ”

Old Man Han was shocked and blurted out: "Oops! ”

Zhou Hua's face also changed color, but he was still calm, and he said: "I hope that among them, no one will recognize the identity of the next one?" ”

"Okay, you guys go back and hide, the old decay will stand in their way. ”

Old Man Han instructed Brother Zhou Hua and Jiang Xing to take shelter in the inner hall for the time being, not to go out, and if the master did not come forward, he could deal with it calmly.
