Chapter Ninety-Three: Demon Suppression Pagoda
86_86410 In the early morning, Zi Xiaoyun was already busy cleaning and carrying water in the courtyard of the nunnery, because he did not have any silver taels on his body, and he could not eat and drink in vain when he lived in this ancient river nunnery, and Zi Xiaoyun's personality would definitely be uneasy in his heart.
At that time, Zhixuan kept patting the back of her head and walked out of the room groggily, she was very surprised to see Zi Xiaoyun so energetic. "Why are you still working? You, aren't you sleepy?"
"Sleepy, sleepy, it's past breakfast time, you just woke up, you are really rich, willful・・・・・・" Zi Xiaoyun said while pulling a bucket of water from the well.
"Didn't you get heard last night? That wailing should be so close to here that you should be able to hear it. ”
"Oh, you mean that call, I heard it on the first day during the days you were unconscious, but the teachers and wives here all said that it was a wild cat in the forest and didn't pay much attention to it, and besides, I've been listening to it for a few days, and I'm used to it. ”
Zhi Xuan heard Zi Xiaoyun say that it was a cat's meow, and felt more and more strange, the wild cat's cry was even sharper, it shouldn't be so wailing, and even if the forest was not far from here, but with the sound of the wild cat, it would not be able to reach this side, Zhi Xuan guessed in her heart that this kind of cry was mostly from a creature that was bigger than the wild cat.
"Xiaoyun, I feel that this is a little strange, I can still distinguish the call of the wild cat, so I will not hear it wrong. Let's go and inquire again, we can't stay here and have nothing to do. Zhixuan didn't wait for Zi Xiaoyun to agree, so she took Zi Xiaoyun's hand and ran out.
Just wanted to go out, but Ju'an Shitai walked in, Zhixuan immediately took a footstep, and Zixiaoyun learned from the Buddha to salute Ju'an Shitai.
"Two donors, where are you going? Female donor, your injuries are good, but it is not advisable to move around a lot, especially your daughter's house, if you enter the nearby deep mountains and forests, it will not be good to meet beasts and demons. ”
Zi Xiaoyun wanted to tell Mrs. Ju'an that they were going out to find out about the late-night wailing, but Zhixuan immediately grabbed Zi Xiaoyun's sleeve and laughed at Zi Xiaoyun. Zi Xiaoyun originally felt puzzled, but Zhi Xuan glanced at Zi Xiaoyun with a side face, Zi Xiaoyun was not dumbfounded, Zhi Xuan's intention was to let herself not tell Ju Anshi too true, the reason Zi Xiaoyun didn't need to know, according to what Zhi Xuan said, it was okay not to tell Ju Anshi too true.
"Mrs. Shi, my friend has just woken up, and I really want to go to the town to see the excitement, the water has been selected, and the yard has been cleaned, so we will leave. Zi Xiaoyun took Zhi Xuan's hand and quickly ran out.
Mrs. Ju'an didn't see any clues from it, but said a few words of "Amitabha", looked at Zixiaoyun and Zhixuan in the distance and said: "The young boys and girls now are all affectionate, hehe, ask what is the love in the world・・・・・・"
On the street, Zi Xiaoyun and Zhixuan walked side by side in the crowd, and Zi Xiaoyun asked curiously, "Why don't you want me to tell Master Ju'an the truth?"
Zhixuan was looking around for something, glanced at Zi Xiaoyun and said, "Didn't you hear that? She just wanted to tell us not to go to the back mountain woods! There must be something strange, why don't you let us know what the wailing is? and don't let us go to the back mountain・・・・・・
Zi Xiaoyun thought about the word "Houshan" for a while, and said slowly: "I seem to have heard people here say that there is a demon suppression pagoda in Houshan. Xuan, did you say that Master Ju'an was too worried that it would be dangerous for us to walk into the Demon Suppression Pagoda. ”
"No way, if we were worried that we were in danger, she would immediately tell us the truth and make us stop thinking, but everyone in this ancient river nunnery deliberately concealed the facts, for fear that we would know what was in the woods!" Zhixuan pointed to a fruit shop in front of her and said happily: "They don't let us know, we want to investigate clearly! Let's go, go there first and ask about the situation." ”
On the side of the street in Yinhe Town, there was a fruit shop, and Zhixuan immediately walked into the store with Zi Xiaoyun, and after asking a few words, she walked out with Zi Xiaoyun in contemplation.
"I said Zhixuan, why do you ask them how much fruit they buy on weekdays?"
"Sure enough, I saw in the nunnery that some of the fruits they had stored seemed to have been transported to the woods in the back mountains, so I wondered if they had prepared food for something. Zhixuan thought about it and said.
"Oh, no wonder the boss said that there was more fruit than in the past days. Zi Xiaoyun slapped his palms and smiled.
Zhixuan nodded, pointed to a butcher shop in front of her and said, "Let's go ask that shop again." ”
The answer is just as Zhixuan thought, Furukawa-an is full of people who believe in Buddhism and don't buy some fish at all, but according to the owner of the butcher shop, Furukawa-an has indeed bought a lot of meat in recent days. If there is nothing that needs to be eaten meat, why do people who believe in Buddhism want to buy meat Zhixuan and Zi Xiaoyun glanced at each other and determined what they thought in their hearts.
Back in the ancient river hermitage, Zhixuan told Zi Xiaoyun about her plan, and the two prepared each other to return to the room. The night has ended, and the Dao aunts in the ancient river nunnery have returned to their rooms, and in the quiet courtyard, as agreed, Zhixuan and Zi Xiaoyun have come to the door on time, and the two of them have given each other instructions and slipped out cautiously.
The forest in Furukawa-an is not far away, and the forest is on top of the hill when you go around the street and go straight to the path. At this time, everything was silent, standing on the mountainside, I saw that the entire Yinhe Town was dark and quiet, and no one in the ancient river nunnery found the whereabouts of Zixiaoyun and the others.
Zhixuan asked Zi Xiaoyun to wait in place, and just when it was ugly, a wail came from the woods. Zhi Xuan immediately got up and ran for the sound, Zi Xiaoyun naturally lagged behind, watching Zhi Xuan's figure desperately catch up.
Unconsciously, the two of them had come to the deepest part of the woods, because it was night, so the sight was not so good, until walking in front of them, Zi Xiaoyun realized that what appeared in front of him was a dark gray majestic pagoda. This pagoda is the town demon pagoda that the villagers in Yinhe Town say, and the four bottom sides of the pagoda are buckled with an iron chain as thick as a wrist, and the four iron chains extend to the ground not far from the four directions. Looking up at the pagoda, you can find that the four corners of the pagoda and the roots of the big trees in the four directions are connected to a thin red line, and the red line is closely attached to the charms.
Zhixuan stood quietly by the door of the pagoda, and the sound of wailing came from the pagoda again, this time it was clear and clear. "Listen, this cry is coming from inside the tower. ”
Zi Xiaoyun ran to the door of the pagoda, a palm-sized yellow rune was pasted on the door, Zi Xiaoyun leaned his ear against the door, and he could faintly hear a rapid panting sound in the pagoda.
"Yes, there's something in there, and it looks like it's still weak. Zi Xiaoyun thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, "Xuan, it's really just like you think, this Dao Gu in Guhe Nunnery deliberately concealed it from us, and the things in the tower must have been caught by them." Shall we go in?"
Zhixuan walked to the tower gate, looked at the rune carefully, nodded and said, "This rune is just used to trap demon beasts, it has no effect on people, we can go in." But I don't know what is trapped in the ・・・・・・, in case it ・・・・・・"
Before Zhixuan finished speaking, Zi Xiaoyun heard that he could go in, so he immediately tore off the runes in the tower, pushed the tower door, and walked in without saying a word. Zhixuan was taken aback, and thought to herself, "Why is this guy so reckless! ”
And at the moment when Zi Xiaoyun tore off the runes, the bells hanging in front of the doors of each room in the Furukawa Nunnery began to ring. This bell is spiritual, and it is closely related to the rune, how once someone breaks into the demon tower, then all the people in the ancient river hermitage will know it at the first time.
Zi Xiaoyun and Zhixuan entered the tower, they didn't know that in the ancient river nunnery below the mountain, the torches lit up the night. All the Dao Gus stood outside the main courtyard with swords in their hands, and Master Ju An was also facing all the Dao Gu, holding a torch in one hand and a saber in the other.
Now that all the people up and down of Guhe Nunnery have entered the guard, all the disciples listened to the order and hurried to the Demon Pagoda in Houshan Town, and the third generation of disciples stayed in the nunnery to take precautions. Master Ju'an walked down too quickly.
Suddenly, two Dao aunts hurriedly ran over and said, "Those two young people are gone." ”
