Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Seal Hall Turns Black

What is the dark cloud gathering on the top of the spirit

As soon as the day dawned, the number of people walking on the road gradually increased. Although it was the time when the Song and Liao countries were fighting for war, all industries were struggling, but at this time, the lives of the people in the Jiangnan and Central Plains still maintained their usual operation. In the past, except for the sudden increase in the number of displaced people who fled and lost their places, the rest of the trade and freight were not affected.

Two people sat on the side of the road to rest. One is an old man, and the other is a childish teenager. The two are grandfather and grandson, residents of the vicinity of Xiaoquan Town in Gwangju, and they want to take advantage of today's Mid-Autumn Festival to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to take the pumpkins grown at home to the market to sell, and a thin donkey carrying a few cloth bags bows his head to graze beside them.

I saw a line of golden light piercing through the blue mountains in the distance, reflecting clearly for a long time. The cold mist is gradually showing signs of retreating. The old man had rested enough and stood up. "Let's go, you have to hurry up, you can't sell it at a good price if it's late. The boy answered, pulled the donkey's long ear, and the two got back on the road.

"The weather is so nice today, I can see the moon at night. The boy thought as he walked, looking at the sky, the thick clouds that had been gray yesterday had miraculously dissipated, and now they were all swept up to the edge of the sky. "After selling melons, Grandpa Yang will buy mooncakes and go back to eat them with my younger brother. ”

In the past few years, the emperor raised troops to invade Liao, and the government levied extremely heavy taxes. At that time, they couldn't even eat enough, so how could they dare to eat moon cakes? It was rare that after the defeat of the first battle at Qigou Pass last year, the Great Song Dynasty was forced to retreat and hoard heavy troops in the border towns. At this time, the private tax collection was reduced. I often hear adults say that that the battle wounded the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty, and the emperor no longer had the ambition to retract the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The boy was not very old. How can he see the hidden worries implied by the victory or defeat of these killings, he only cares about the present. This year's outlook is slightly better than last year's. Although the family is not rich, they can barely eat. It's not an exaggeration to buy a cheap mooncake in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Just thinking about how to talk to grandpa, suddenly, in the woods on the left, something flashed very quickly in the middle of the green leaves. The young man caught a glimpse of it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah!" but before he could take a closer look, the air rippled, and everything was back to its original state. The boy stopped. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, yes, nothing. Ten thousand strands of gold were piercing through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the thin mist.

"Why did it stop?" the old man in front of him asked when he noticed that his grandson had stopped.

"I saw a dead man. ”

The old man's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly ran over: "Go, go, what is there to see about the dead, there is no dead one day." Phew! I have a mouth! Dajili City! There are no taboos! There are no taboos!" The old man finished the curse, and lowered his face and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't say these things that are not clean!"

"No, grandpa, not your average dead man. I saw him fly over the tree, but he couldn't see in the blink of an eye......"

"How dare you say!" Bodhisattva bless! Bodhisattva bless! Say one more word and I'll tear your mouth apart!" The dead can fly, which is even more ridiculous than the joke of a cow with wings. How could the old man believe it. He angrily taught his grandson: "Today is a good day, don't dare to talk nonsense." Crashing into the gods, you're so comfortable!Hmph!"

Seeing that grandpa was really angry. The boy didn't dare to say anything. led the donkey to follow slowly, but he was unwilling, and looked back after walking a few steps. He had seen a dead man covered in bruises speeding through the treetops, but how could he suddenly disappear?

The young man's heart was cold, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he followed his grandfather silently to the east. There was a town there, Hanshanji, which was the destination of their trip.

The sun is rising and the heat is rising. Both the grandfather and grandson took off their jackets and put them on the donkey's back. Autumn weather is like this, winter in the morning and evening, and summer at noon. Kankan walked for more than an hour, and it was less than ten miles away from Hanshanji. The sound of horses' hooves was heard in front of them, and another group of travelers galloped towards them.

"What!Thousands of ghosts!?"

Before anyone arrived, the sound was heard first. Someone shouted in surprise. But the content of this sentence gave the boy goosebumps all over his body. It's really weird today, I first saw that terrible thing in the morning, and it was just over an hour before I saw a few people, and what they said turned out to be like this...... That doesn't imply anything, does it?

The boy looked nervously forward.

The three horses galloped side by side, but they were still far away, and they were obscured by a layer of mist, and their faces could not be seen clearly. After a few moments, the horses burst through the fog and ran closer, and the young man stiffened suddenly, his eyes widened instantly, and there was a man in the middle...... Oh my God! Oh my God! He ...... He...... There is a yellow talisman on his forehead!

The boy's face turned white with fright. Grandpa used to tell him a story, saying that when the immortal masters and Taoist elders subdued the corpses of the manifest spirits, they all used yellow talismans to stick to the foreheads of the dead corpses, as if they were called soul suppression talismans...... Isn't the answer obvious that this person in front of him has a head on his head? Dead ghost! This man must be a dead ghost!

The boy's whole body stiffened, and his eyes stared at the dead ghost.

The dead ghost was unaware of the attention of others, and still shouted in surprise: "How can there be so many?!How is this possible?" In order to express his surprise, he actually lifted the yellow talisman with his hand and looked at the woman running on the left.

He could still scream! What a terrible dead ghost! The young man saw his face as white as there was no blood, his beard was large, and his black and white eyes were spinning rapidly! Terrible! It was terrible! The boy couldn't speak, and his body shook sharply, and he saw two people and a ghost running past him with a gust of wind. In front of the dead ghost, there seemed to be a small child.

"Grandpa, I'm going to die......" It took a while for the boy to say to his grandfather with a crying voice. I have heard adults say that if you see these unusual things in a row on the road, you may have a long life.

The three horses ran away.

Hu Buwei, who was walking, didn't know that the charm on his forehead would cause a teenager to have a nervous breakdown. He was still shocked by what had happened while he was shaping his soul. "Senior Fan, isn't the iron order sealed in the jade plate, why did it suddenly come out?"

Fan Tongyou said: "The iron order is yin, and the jade plate is yang." These two things were originally yin and yang, and they maintained a balance. But when I mold your soul. The entire formation has become the most yin, and the inside and outside are under the attack. Do you think the yang energy of the jade brand can still resist it? It was stirred up from the inside by the evil qi of the iron order, and it was broken. ”

"Oh!" Hu Buwei nodded. After thinking about it carefully, he asked again, "But, how did it attract so many ghosts? "Imagining the scene when the ghost clouds covered the sky, the courtyard wall collapsed, and everyone fled one after another, I couldn't help but be afraid. can be regarded as a great blessing and a great life, and he can still survive in this turmoil.

It's just that when I was possessed by hundreds of ghosts, it didn't seem so interesting. It's okay for this to happen to someone else.

"I don't know. Fan Tongyou replied. "Maybe this thing was originally something that gathered yin energy. If you get the formation to trigger, you can exert your power even more. ”

"Exert your power......" Hu Buwei's heart moved. Silent thought for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Senior Fan, I have heard people say before that the study of yin and yang is broad and profound, and if you can deeply comprehend the mysteries, it is rare to meet one in 10,000 people, and you can reshape my soul back, you must be everyone in this regard. ”

"Hey, not necessarily!" said Fan Tongyou with a smile. "I'm a ...... for everyone"

"Why don't you count, what are you? Everyone can do what ordinary people can't, and know what others don't know. I have also learned some knowledge of yin and yang, but it is far from being compared to Fan's predecessors. It is known that the real thing is yang and the virtual thing is yin, the south is yang, and the north is yin. Haha, I'm really ashamed to say it. Fan's predecessors have such attainments. I don't know how many lifetimes it will take me to learn. ”

Qin Su next to him looked sideways slightly. Brother Hu praised people so hard, but I haven't seen it for more than a year. Just according to the experience of years ago. When he has finished praising people, he will ask them for something. In the past, I used to ask people for directions and clothes, but now I don't know what the plot is.

Sure enough, the habits of liars cannot be concealed after all. After a while, when Old Man Fan was praised and happy, he just raised his head and closed his eyes and stroked his beard. The surnamed Hu pointed out the purpose without a trace: "...... I often wonder why the anode gives birth to yin and the cathode gives birth to yang? I asked a few people before, but none of them could answer, Fan's predecessor's soul shaping formation reversed yin and yang, how did it happen, I really couldn't grasp it at all. ”

"Hahahaha!" Old Man Fan said with a triumphant smile, "The exchange of yin and yang is not a profound truth in the first place, but if there is no one to show the way, it is really difficult to understand." There are still some tricks in this, how can ordinary mages and magicians understand that the yang is just a phenomenon, and it is not just a matter of pushing the yang energy to the extreme, it needs a series of steps......

"I suppose the old-timers must have used some subtle spells, right? Hehe, if you want to reverse yin and yang, this has always been a matter of immortals, and the spells used are extremely exquisite. ”

"Spell spells aren't very subtle, but spells are only one side of the story, and they need to have a supporting device, and they need to be accurate in time and place, and so on. You must know that there is a huge yin and yang array between heaven and earth, and there are twelve hours a day, and the trend of yin and yang is different from time to time......"

"Ahh

"No, the solitary yang cannot grow, the yin alone cannot be born, and there is no time when only yin and yang exist. ”

"What is the matter with the yin and yang of heaven and earth? When the old-timers molded my soul and chose the son, I can still understand this, but what is the point of choosing the place and placing the utensils?"

......

More than half an hour later, Hu Buwei had a first glimpse of the mystery of the transformation of yin and yang, and his wish was fulfilled, and he scratched his ears and cheeks with joy.

The Iron Order of the Torturer is stimulated by the formation and can exert more power. It was the word "might" that hooked Hu Buwei's mind.

At this time, it is a turbulent year, and the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and there is often a risk of unforeseen. Hu Buwei came to the realization from his own experience a year ago that disasters will not give people time to prepare. It will never tolerate you growing up slowly, if you don't have enough strength and luck, maybe an accident ahead will bury his Hu family father and son under the abyss.

So, go for it. Just like the grass in the desert, we must cherish every drop of rain we get, seize every opportunity to grow, and have one more chance to survive when the next disaster strikes.

Fan Tongyou's words touched his inspiration, if he didn't do anything, he would be able to master the layout and operation of the formation. Wouldn't it be a great life-saving technique? In the future, if someone is beaten up, he can suddenly release an iron order to torture soldiers. Scared them half to death, and then calmly escaped on their own.

It's just that. There is another question that is very annoying. The release of the iron order of the criminal soldiers is to scare others and themselves, and if you are also half-dead like others, it is not interesting to think about it...... But I don't know if there is a good way to save myself from the disaster, after solving this problem, the wind can blow the fallen leaves, and the trees will not be alarmed.

"Senior Fan, today really solved my confusion for many years! Hahahaha! Great, if I hadn't met you. In this life, I'm just afraid that I'll have to live in confusion. However, I have another worry, the evil spirit of the iron order is so powerful, we are sealed in the jade plate like this, is it safe? In case the jade plate is broken again one day, it will be bad, I want to ask Senior Fan, is there any way to resist the murderous aura of this iron order?"

"This ...... Not...... Let me think about ......"

A few people talked about it, but they didn't feel that time was flying. Hu Buwei knows that the opportunity is rare. It's a thirst for knowledge. tried his best to solve the problem, praised Fan Tongyou, slowly pulled, and slowly asked the way to stimulate the iron order of the criminal soldiers. Old man Fan lived in a deep valley for a long time and lived alone. He has ever met such a character who can lead to the topic, and every praise from Hu Buwei is silent. It's all the old man's favorite thing to listen to, and he occasionally asks about related questions. Always to the point, and really humble to seek advice. aroused the old man's interest and talked about it, not only solving his confusion about the yin and yang knowledge that Hu Buwei wanted to know. In the study of souls, there are also some bits and pieces faintly revealed.

"Brother Hu, your qualifications are still good. It's good to remember, and it's good to understand. If he had studied spells for more than ten years in the morning, he would be a character today. "By noon, Fan Tongyou had changed the title of 'Mr. Hu' to 'Brother Hu'.

Hu Buwei was happy in his heart. After all, it is always a pleasant thing to be complimented. He smiled and said: "Where, where, that's Brother Fan's wrong eyes, hehe, I just did some bad things to deceive people in my early years just to make a living, so I learned like this." ”

"Heroes don't ask for a way out. What's more, whether the qualifications are good or bad has nothing to do with whether or not to deceive people...... Just look at Xiao Hu Tan, they all say that there is a father and there must be a son, you look at his memory......"

Little Charcoal is scratching the horse's long neck. Muttered and slurred speech. What "Qianzun Yao Ling, Kun Shun Neiying, Eryi Jiaotai, to be Helizhen, should feel Xuanhuang, Xiangzan Fu General...... "What" Nuo Nuo Yiye, no choice of day, follow what the fight points out, and God ......" He was repeating the spell spell that Fan Tongyou and Hu Buwei explained just now.

Just now, Fan Tongyou talked happily, and casually clicked on Hu Buwei's soul learning. These spell recipes have only been said once, but who knows that Xiao Hu Tan actually memorized them. The little doll has been forced by his father and Qin Su to recite scriptures since he was a child, and he is extremely sensitive to these sentences, and once he hears them, he can't help but remember them silently. The five formulas are fragmentary, and the language is jerky and extremely awkward, but just like this, Xiao Hu Tan actually remembered six or seven out of ten.

"Such a good material, no wonder Old Man He likes it so much, he always mentions it several times a day. Fan Tongyou thought, thought about it, and couldn't help but be secretly proud: "But one person has a person's fate, and there is no way to do it, who makes you not have the courage to make decisions like me?"

Coughing slightly, Fan Tongyou asked Hu Buwei: "Brother Hu, what are your plans to leave Hejiazhuang this time?

Hu Buwei scratched his head. Originally, he was going to go into the old forest and be a mountain dweller with his son. Who would have thought that Qin Su would fall from the sky last night, crying so loudly, that he said everything that should be said and what should not be said...... With this big girl by his side, of course, his idea could no longer be put into practice.

Seeing Hu Buwei's expression, Fan Tongyou understood. I secretly boasted in my heart: "God is also helping me." His face remained unmoved, and he said lightly: "If you have no place to put your feet, go to me." Xiao Hu Tan is too young to be suitable for the upward road of the rivers and lakes. What's more, he is at the age of remembering at this time, and if he doesn't quickly find a stable place to teach well, he is afraid that there will be deviations in the future. ”

Glancing at his son who lowered his head and spoke vaguely, Hu Buwei was still a little hesitant. Where Fan Tongyou lives, to this day he still does not know. Would there be any inconvenience for him, his son, and Qin Su to go to live together in other people's homes without any preparation? Fan Tongyou was his savior, and he was not willing to lead the calamity he brought to other people's homes as well.

When there is concern in the heart, the color appears on the face. Fan Tongyou saw it. He added, "Now that there is turmoil in all directions, it is very dangerous to walk around like you. Monster. Devil, enemy...... Which one is not a deadly thing? Could it be that you still want to go back to your hometown for refuge? Think about it. To the north of Yanmen Pass, the dogs of the Liao State are heavily pressurized, and there is a danger of breaking through the pass at any time, you should know the terrible disaster of the army. In such a dangerous situation, of course, you can't go back. ”

Hu Buwei's face was slightly moved, Fan Tongyou secretly calculated, couldn't help but smile, and said: "And the south is the territory where the Luomon sect is raging. You swaggered over with two treasures, it was like sending them to death, let me tell you, when I first came to Jiangning Mansion, this dog sect didn't know how insidious it was, and actually hid against me, how many bugs and ants were hidden behind the leaves...... Damn it...... Oh...... Oh, don't talk about this...... Ahem! This ...... You can't go to the south, and then to the east. It's Jiangning Mansion, Old Ghost He is busy sending disciples to find you, and I guess you don't want to see him. ”

Hu Buwei is silent.

"So, it's best for you to go to the west with me. My home is hidden in the valley. There was a large array of yin and yang outside, and even if hundreds of people came to attack, they couldn't rush in. The charcoal is hidden inside. It was very safe and I taught him to read every day. Teach him spells, you think. With his qualifications, coupled with my Master, wouldn't he be a powerful figure in more than ten years? When the time comes, hahaha, not to mention the few little apprentices surnamed He, even if it is the Shushan Immortal Capital, ......" The more Fan Tongyou thought about it, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his two eyes looked at Hu Buwei eagerly, and he just wanted to reach up with his two hands to help, and helped Hu Buwei nod his head hundreds of times in agreement.

"yes, home...... There is also Qiannan, there is no need to go anymore. Hu Buwei thought to himself, and felt a sense of loss in his heart for no reason. Where there is no way to go, where there is no place to go...... At this time, compared to three years ago, the situation is even more different from the abyss. Then...... Alas, forget it, don't think about it, go to the West, the West may be good. Hu Buwei thought silently in his heart. With Fan Tongyou, a master, by his side, it is much safer than jolting around, and he can also take the opportunity to ask him about the transformation of the Yin and Yang formation, maybe in three or five years, he can also master a few profound exercises, and then it is not too late to find the enemy who killed his wife to take revenge. Thinking of this section, his spirit was lifted again, and he made up his mind at the moment, took the opportunity to get off the donkey down the slope, and said with a smile: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and trouble Brother Fan." ”

"No trouble! No trouble!" Fan Tongyou's heart trembled with joy, and the corners of his mouth smiled to the root of his ears, "A distant guest is coming, it is a happy event that cannot be sought! What is the trouble!" His eyes fell on Xiao Hu Tan intentionally or unintentionally, and he only secretly boasted in his heart: "Hehe! Good boy, it will finally fall into my hands." ”

The two of them got their own wishes, both of them were dancing with their eyebrows, and they were happy, and it took more than half an hour to talk about it, and it was noon, and they just entered a town to have lunch.

There are several restaurants in the town, all of which are more luxurious than usual. The wine flag is fluttering, and you can see it when you are far away. A few people found a nearby restaurant and went in, but they didn't expect that the restaurant was full of diners, and more than a dozen tables under the hall were about to be full, and people kept coming in.

Hu Buwei was shrewd, and after noticing the tension at the dinner table, his two eyes flew quickly, and when he saw that there was still an empty seat under the stairs, he was busy and rushed forward to occupy a seat before the first few guests. "Brother Fan, Miss Qin, come on! there's a table here!" he shouted as he patted the bench beside him, and when he saw the angry eyes of the guests in front of him, he smiled and looked up at the ceiling, pretending not to see.

Not long after, Xiao Er came over to serve tea, and a few people ordered food.

The wine bar business was very good, and after a while, even the box on the second floor was full, and Hu Buwei couldn't help but feel proud when he caught a glimpse of a shopkeeper bowing and apologizing to the disappointed latecomer at the door. Although it is a small matter to grab the table to eat, but the dining table is limited, but the first to get it, if there is no courage to make a decision and the eye to observe the nuances, maybe now the one who shakes his head and goes away in disappointment, is a few of them.

Yes, isn't this exactly what happens in the world in many cases? Good things were originally there, but if there are too many monks and few porridges, how can they be fairly distributed to all the people in the world? Many people often realize it later, and when they find out that this matter is possible, it is too late, and those things have already been divided up by others...... Hu Buwei faintly seemed to realize something in his heart, and he was silent for a while, staring at the door with blank eyes, and he couldn't even hear Qin Su calling him a few times.

"Brother Hu!" Seeing a gloomy look on Qin Su's face, Fan Tongyou, who was sitting at the opposite table, couldn't look at it, so he shouted in a loud voice. Hu Buwei "Ah!" retracted his soul.

"Miss Qin asked you, would you like a bowl of ginseng and chicken soup? She was worried that you were still weak. ”

"Huh?" Hu Buwei turned his head to look at Qin Su, and saw that the poor girl was lowering her head, thinking that she was wronged in her heart. Sorry in his heart, he said gently: "Miss Qin, my body is not tight...... Oh no, I actually want to drink chicken soup too. Just thought of something...... I didn't hear you...... Don't be surprised. ”

Qin Su shook his head, forced a smile and wanted to speak, but he couldn't.

Just when he was embarrassed, a shouting at the door attracted everyone's attention.
