This night's rest is different from yesterday, although I am still nervous, but my anxiety has weakened. And the excitement and comfort are even more uplifting. Hu Buwei sat cross-legged on the bed, sleepless again. Because I slept a lot during the day, I was refreshed at this time, and I didn't feel a trace of sleepiness. The steed was tethered to the window, snorting. Hu Buwei was afraid of making yesterday's mistake again, so he persuaded the old man to tie the horse under the window of the side room and keep vigil in person. I don't believe that any more horse thieves would dare to harass him.

On this day, he has gained many profits, treasures and horses, and indeed fortune and fortune have relied on. The two frightens the day before yesterday were not unjust.

After all, it's the middle of summer, the weather is hot every day, and there are more mosquitoes and bedbugs. Hu Buwei was thinking about good things while fighting mosquitoes. There was no light in the house, only his own breathing and the sound of horses snorting outside the window in the darkness. Outside the door is very quiet and seems to be very mixed, if you don't listen, you will feel like an empty well, except for the occasional insomnia dog barking piecemeal, and the muffled sound of the wind vibrating the window pages, there is no sound of people walking. If you listen carefully, it is like walking in the downtown area, cicadas chirping, frogs chirping, grasshoppers also flapping their wings under the trees at the root of the wall, and the sound of flying mosquitoes is endless, it is really very lively.

I couldn't sleep, so I thought about how to arrange my life. This trip made him fat and scrape oil and water, which he had not obtained for a long time, but he had to calculate carefully, whether he should replace some new tables, chairs, cages and drawers at home, and whether he should buy one or two pieces of land. Or...... I am not young anymore, and I should think of some ways to give birth to a few sons and daughters. Thinking about it here, and thinking of the secret technique of the bed that Sun Jia was taught at night, all kinds of fascinating realms during it, and the joy of returning to the heart, I was stunned for a while.

Time flies, the time passes, and the ugly time comes. Hu Buwei began to feel a little sleepy, dozing off against the wall. In the silence, a loud "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the south of the village.

In a few moments, even the ground shook, and the things in the house fell and rolled all over the ground. The horses outside the window were also restless, and stood up with their front hooves croaking as if they wanted to break free from the reins and run away. Hu Buwei didn't know what to do, Huo Ran stood up, his face colorless with fright. Hurriedly ran out of the house and looked at the south of the village. That is the direction of Wutong Village, where the guardian beast of Xialin Village is located!

Many families in the village were dressed up, and everyone was frightened, and they didn't know what was happening. After a short time, all 126 people in the village poured out of the door to listen for the news.

"Youkai! Youkai is coming!" suddenly heard the villagers living in the south of the village shouting in their voices, and with this shout, the ground shook violently, and the sound of 'buzzing' intensified. It seems that thousands of troops are rushing straight over. At that time, there were women and children crying in panic, men rushing around, pigs and dogs barking endlessly. Its screams were miserable and chaotic, as if the sky was falling.

Hu Buwei was mixed among the crowd, and his general lips lost blood and he was at a loss. He had a distant eyesight, and faintly saw a few clouds of mist in the sky above the south of the village. At that time, in the middle of the moon, the stars were like rain, and several gray clouds surrounded the moon, but they did not cover it. The inky cloud looked very abrupt in the air. After a while, I saw clearly that it was a flock of strange birds, thousands of them, and they were thrown from the overwhelming village.

At this time, even the ordinary villagers can see what is striking at night, those birds have wide faces and deep eyes, like human faces, black plumage, and the size of domestic dogs. Flapping wings and flying, 'Pingwa, Pingwa' its sound is dull and ugly. What's even more strange is that these strange birds have a slender tail behind them, which twists and turns like a snake's end.

Hu Buwei's anti-evil nail in his arms sounded again, and the blue light came out through the gap in the placket. The burning sensation of sticking to the skin is especially better than in the middle of the day. It was as if his mind had been hollowed out, and he could no longer move. In the past two days, there have been many adventures, which have not been heard of in the past few decades. Its fright, ups and downs, like peaks and valleys, are all incredible. In the old days, if someone told him these strange stories, he would have laughed at them. But now that he has experienced it himself, he feels that it is terrifying. It's not a pleasure.

The people panicked and fled for their lives, but at this moment they heard a long howl, which seemed to rise from the ground, and leapt to the ground. The gloom is as thick as a lion and tiger roaring, and it instantly resounded through the four fields. The earthquake had long since stopped, but the wind was blowing so hard that everyone could see it, and at the southern end of the village, the red light was so bright that it was blind. When everyone was protecting their eyes, there was another roar, and a huge and incomparable red beast rose into the sky, its wings blowing in the wind, and it was fierce and stopping, stopping in front of the flock of strange birds.

It was the guardian beast of the village! Wide-snouted, fanged, winged like bat's wings, and holding a halberd in one hand. It's just that its shape is like a mountain, but its height is not the same.

Hu Buwei, together with the villagers, opened their mouths wide to see this strange phenomenon that was rare in the ages. Guardian Beast! How is it possible? This Guardian Beast is incomparably effective, and it is really a divine beast that guards the safety of the villagers! Strange birds flew in, and they were afraid that it would be unfavorable to the people of Xialin Village. The guardian beast unexpectedly did its best and emerged from the statue. This is the manifestation of the true God! Everyone was stunned, and they did not know who took the lead, and everyone fell to their knees and kowtowed.

The huge guardian beast hung in the air, its wings spread out, and it was as long as a hundred. When the strange birds saw the divine beast in front of them, they seemed to know it very well, and the sound of 'Pingwa' was very panicked and chaotic, and they fled. But listening to the sound of the wind drumming in the 'volt', it was dull and deafening, and the divine beast slashed with its halberd. A long red shadow from the top right to the bottom left, as if cutting a bright red mouth on the sky, the wind and clouds rolled up, and the strange birds were sharply swept in and fell suddenly.

The muscles and flesh behind the guardian beast rose up, and the red halberd swept wildly, and only the red staff shadow danced in the sky, and there was nothing to beat its edge. The halberd slammed like a windmill, and the sound of 'booming' sweeping the wind and clouds was somber like a thunderstorm. The strange birds quacked and wailed, and their bones were swept apart, and their feathers flew sideways. At this moment, the wind and clouds are rolling, and the yellow sand is soaring, and its momentum covers the moon.

"God is as powerful as hell, and God is as graceful as the sea. Hu Buwei's mind is just this sentence that appears repeatedly.

But it is strange to say that although the wind is fierce and vicious, it blows on people, but there is no feeling of pushing and tearing by the winter wind. I think it's also due to the compassion of the divine beast.

Everyone looked at it with a sway, watching the divine beast slash all the strange birds to the ground like the autumn wind sweeping leaves, and the sky turned clear again. It was only half a cup of tea, and there was no more human-faced strange bird in the air. The sky is clear, and the moon is still as bright as a jade plate.

Unexpectedly, the guardian beast still stood proudly with its halberd, hanging quietly in the air, as if there was something else to do. Looking from the ground, I saw that it had a wide back and a slight bow, and its huge wings flapped slowly, making a sound of 'lying down'. Hu Buwei screamed even more for the anti-evil nail in his chest.

In the middle of nowhere, the sky is like a burst of thunder rolling by, rumbling endlessly. The guardian beast seemed rather uneasy, flapping its wings more often, and laying its halberd flat in front of it. They looked up, but saw nothing. As if a rainstorm was coming, the air was very dull, and the frog chirping had long since ceased. The wind began to blow again after a while, and several small dragon whirlwinds swept the ground around the ground. After a short time, the wind blows harder, and there are more whirlwinds on the ground. The villagers' hearts were like deer, and they prayed secretly. I don't know what kind of monsters the future will be.

The beast let out a low roar. Hu Buwei's eyes were sharp, and he saw a burst of blue-blue flames flying from the southern sky very quickly, like arrows, shooting fiercely. When it flew into the sky, everyone heard a sharp sound like a torn scarf, rolling from the distant hills. This monster flew at extreme speed, and it came before the sound of breaking the sky, which was really terrifying.

"Ahh

Hu Buwei also saw clearly that the offender was the nine-headed bird.

In folk legend, the nine-headed bird is an ominous thing, and one of them comes out, and great disasters follow. It is rumored that every time you see a nine-headed bird, you will encounter a flood, a drought, or a plague epidemic. There are many mortals. Although everyone has never seen it in person, the rumors are widespread, and they all know that the body of the nine-headed bird is like a shuttle, the plumage is gray and black and withered, and there are nine strange-shaped bird heads, which are called like babies.

And this nine-headed monster flying in the air, it is true that it has nine heads, but its body is covered with thick feathers, and the blue electric light flows on it, and its body is huge and friendless, which can be compared with the divine beast. But it couldn't match the rumors. There are quite a few worshippers of Buddha among the villagers, seeing that this monster is dangerous, they immediately twist up the rosary and secretly pray.

The nine-headed bird flew in front of Baizhang and also paused. The nine undulating songs sang in unison, like a group of babies crying each other, crying endlessly. The sound of noise came into his ears, and Hu Buwei felt disgusted in his chest, and he couldn't stand anymore, so he quickly covered his ears, returned to the eaves, and looked with bated breath.

It seems that the divine beast did not dare to be careless, his muscles bulged out, his hands held the weapon together, and pointed at the nine-headed bird. The strange bird cried for a while, and suddenly became difficult, and with a flap of its wings, the tiny blue electric light swarmed towards the divine beast. The crowd exclaimed.

The beast's long wings flapped, and it was raised in vain, and the lightning passed under its feet, crackled for a while, and melted into the wind. Seeing that the first blow did not work, the nine-headed bird screamed more and more, and was about to wave its wings again, but saw that the divine beast was condescending, and quickly and incoherently split out a halberd. It reacted quickly, spread its wings and slapped sharply to the side, let it go, and flew around the divine beast, and did not dare to attack again.

The guardian beast was quite anxious when he saw that it was going around in circles and couldn't hit it. When it flew in front of it again, it slashed with a halberd and blocked its way, and the nine-headed bird waited for it at this time, seeing the halberd slashing closer, it suddenly burst out, but it was a little higher than the divine beast, and its claws were flexed, hooking the opponent's face.

The two giants are wrying and wrestling in the air, just like turning over a river and a sea. The wind and clouds were stirring, and the leaves on the ground were blown to break and roll up. The sound of 'funging' is like a drum or a cymbal. Everyone couldn't stand it, so they avoided it one after another, and retreated until they left the village, and then stopped to watch.

After all, it was the brave beast that deliberately stopped moving, and when the nine-headed bird turned to attack, he desperately tried to be caught on his arm and pierced the halberd from behind. The nine-headed bird was overjoyed, but he knew that there was a deception, and at the moment when the claw hooked into the opponent's back elbow, his right wing hurt, and the halberd had come out through the feathers. The bird's 'wow wow' screamed strangely, and blood rained down. Endured the pain and retreated, flapped his wings and flew straight up the sky, running towards a cloud, and was about to escape.

The divine beast held the halberd in its right arm, lunged and stretched out, and threw it hard, the halberd was like a flying dragon outside the sky, rushing straight away!

Everyone saw that the divine light flashed suddenly, and the halberd tail followed the nine-headed bird into the clouds and disappeared. The cloud burst into a flash of lightning. When I looked closely, I saw that the halberd had returned to the hands of the divine beast, and I didn't know if I had killed the nine-headed bird.

When the wind was a little quieter, it was finally settled, the yellow sand fell, and the guardian beast returned to the carving. Seeing the same, everyone returned to the village one after another.

I couldn't sleep that night. It was not until the storm had subsided for a long time that there was no change in the village, and the village cautiously looked south of the village. The ground was covered with minced flesh and bones, and belly feathers were scattered among the grass and bushes. There are also those with half of the body left, and there are also those with only one head left, which are distributed horizontally and vertically, and are not in order. The shape of the bird was also clearer than before, with a short beak and a white face, and its eyes sunken into its forehead, which resembled a man by eight points, except that it had no eyebrows. The feet are very sharp, and it is easy to scratch the dogs. Everyone deliberately looked at its tail, which was arm long, thick in front and thin in the back, with yellow-brown fluff scattered on it, mostly like the tail of a mouse.

Everyone was secretly amazed, such a strange shape, don't say you've seen it, but you haven't even heard of it. The Guardian Beast is no different. The people of the village know its effect, and feel its kindness, and in the future, the incense will be offered, and the festival will bow and worship itself.

Hu Buwei was frightened again, and he only felt that this place was no longer good. Although the guardian beast is powerful, who knows if there will be no danger of negligence in the future. I just want to escape as soon as possible and return home.

Like ants in a hot pot, when the light penetrates the pane, he hurriedly packs his luggage, feeds the horses to eat grass and drinks, and sets off when the sky is bright. Seeing that he was in a hurry, the old man and the two of them didn't keep him anymore, but only burned breakfast and slaughtered a chicken for him to eat. In summer, the nights are short and the days are long, and by the time it is about midnight, the sky is already dawn. Hu Buwei and the old man Yu were eating in the main hall, chewing chicken legs in their mouths, but they thought in their hearts that they would go back soon, and they didn't feel that the food in their mouths was delicious.

After hastily finishing the meal, Hu Buwei went to the window to untie his bridle and said goodbye to the old man. As soon as he stepped into the stirrups, he suddenly heard a miserable cry from the south side of the village, and many other vague and chaotic shouts. His heart was tight, and he didn't care about anything else, turned over his horse, raised his whip and hurriedly, and no longer ignored the old man's suspicion of his immortal title and character, and rushed towards the north avenue of the village at a gallop, and finally ran away from this place of right and wrong.

Unbeknownst to him, two young men had died in the village in this morning. One is a blacksmith who strikes iron, and the other is an oil seller. Both of them were twenty-six or seventeen years old, and they died very strangely. He died uninjured and smiling. It was their wife and mother who were crying.

The village sent someone to report to the official, and the yamen came to examine the autopsy, but there were no signs of scars and poisoning, only one was strange, and the two people had two lines of words on their forearms as thin as a fly's head, and the color was transparent, if they didn't look closely, they would definitely not be checked. It doesn't seem to be the result of the portrayal.

The words are: "provide for me, support me", "be blessed, blessed".

The horse-made Lu is fast. The heart becomes a meteor chasing the moon. Hu Buwei's mind flew home early.

The sound of 'son, son', rode into the dust, and looked north against the blue sky. This is indeed a good horse. Hu Buwei saw the trees on both sides brushing and brushing back quickly, and the wind was loud in his ears. The jujube red horse held back his strength, and this time he let go of his feet and had a big mind, which can be compared with Hu Buwei's excitement.

With only a bag of cigarettes, I traveled more than ten miles, and I saw the peaks and mountains on both sides of the road, and the forest was like the sea. Hu Buwei was full of pride in his chest, if he was not fleeing for his life, and his literary talent was not enough, he was afraid that he would have already "come to the sky like an angry sky, like water, and ride through the wind and clouds" to express his poems.

From Xialin Village to the north, it is the official road for sixty miles. The official road was smooth, and the fast horses flew over, but the speed was more than twice as fast as running on the rugged mountain road. As long as you reach the official road, there are many merchants and travelers, and there are ranger warriors, among which there are many capable warriors who subdue dragons and tigers. There's no need to be afraid of anything. Seeing that the red horse's feet are extremely strong, I know that after another hot tea work, I can get rid of the sea of suffering. Hu Buwei's thoughts became more and more earnest, he lifted the reins and shouted "Drive!".

The red horse heard the master's urging, and hurried forward, with a bend in front of him, his feet were not closed, and he gently and skillfully leaned down and turned over. The speed has not decreased at all, and it is indeed a carefully selected horse. Hu Buwei only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the woods in front of him were about to press his face, and after the red horse did not close his feet and turned the corner, the shadow disappeared suddenly, and the blue sky and white clouds appeared in front of him, and a straight loess road came. I couldn't help but shout "Okay!", and I had more love for the horse.

Just as he was relieved, the red horse suddenly stopped, and the man stood up and screamed. Hu Buwei was caught off guard, was thrown off the saddle, and threw up a cloud of yellow dust. When I was dizzy, I heard someone shouting in the forest in front of me, and I didn't know why, so I stood up, looked up, and couldn't help but be terrified.
