Third watch

"We're going there." Lu Xiaolu was puzzled.

"There is a psychopath over there," several children pushed and shoved, "I can't pass it, the neuropathy beats people,"

"Someone lives in front," Zhong Yi squatted down and asked.

"Crazy people live there." Snot Baby nodded, "My lord won't let me go."

The three looked at each other.

"But we have to go that way." Wang Xiaoming smiled, "You are not with us,"

"If you are going, we will not go." Snot Baby said, "Don't say I didn't warn you, there will be a period later,"

All three of them laughed, and cupped their hands at the group of children running back.

"The insanity they mentioned means that we found the right place?" Lu Xiaolu said, "It's probably because of abnormal behavior that we were excluded by the villagers."

"That's not necessarily true." Wang Xiaoming said: "Some behaviors of people who are proficient in yin and yang are really difficult to explain in the eyes of the world. Sometimes the environment around them will form two extremes."

"Generally in the countryside, if you know how to be a human being, you can gain some prestige by asking for advice and gaining some prestige, and you can get a status similar to that of a great immortal. Such people usually go to work in the fields as usual, and if something happens, they don't even need to wear a robe , with bare legs, you can use earthen methods to eliminate disasters for the villagers, and your status is higher. Then there are those who are withdrawn and deviant, and the villagers do not understand the rules, but they can see their likes and dislikes. That's normal too."

"Those children say they are crazy, and it may be an adult's modification." Zhong Yi said: "This is an excuse to keep his children from approaching him. Although it seems to be excluded, but if there is something wrong, the villagers will still bring chickens, ducks, wine and meat , to find that lunatic."

"My grandma also said that." Lu Xiaolu thought for a while: "When I was just in college, my cousin got married and went back to my hometown for a wedding. There was a child at the banquet—well, a child with low intelligence, twelve or thirteen years old , taller and stronger than me, lying on the table all dirty and eating soybeans with his hands."

"His grandma followed him, thin and small, and she scolded him when she saw her. But when she saw a wrong eye, he got on the bed again." Lu Xiaolu said: "Later I asked if it was the child of that relative. Sigh and cry."

"She said it was the grandson of an uncle in the same village. When the son and daughter-in-law went out to work, they gave birth to a big fat boy and brought it back to the old man. She said that the child was smart when he was young, and everyone liked it when he saw it, but it turned out to be like that later."

"So it wasn't born?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

"No. Speaking of it, it seems that his own grandfather made it." Lu Xiaolu said: "At that time, my grandmother didn't allow me to get close to that uncle. I didn't invite him to dinner. People in the village said that he could make some ghosts. , put some bad things out. At first, they were put on the neighbor’s chickens and ducks, and the chickens and ducks were either sick or died. Later, the neighbors became anxious, and at that time the whole village stopped talking to him. He had no choice but to put them in his own house. My grandma was very vague and couldn't tell what it was, but it sounded like detoxification, if he didn't let it go, he would be unlucky or something—later his own beast was also harmed, so he let it go That's what happened to my own grandson."

"At that time, I thought it was mysterious, and I didn't believe it at all." Lu Xiaolu recalled: "Now that I think about it, my uncle is probably a taboo in the village, and I don't even want to mention it."

"That's it." Wang Xiaoming said: "But what are you going to put? Raising little ghosts is not like this. It's not feeding, but harming others to survive?"

"I heard that this is the case with some Gu breeds." Zhong Yi said: "It depends on what your uncle did in the house. If you raise any evil things, you have to use essence, blood, and energy to raise them and be alienated." It's also normal. His grandson may not have been cursed by his grandfather. People in a village have no reason to pick on their own grandson. The child probably bumped into something and was scared away. The person didn't understand, time After a long time, it will naturally not be taken back.”

While talking, the three of them saw a bamboo forest. Through the sparse bamboo, they could see a two-story shed set up in the forest, with a pond behind it.

Although the shed was not big, it was airtight, and it didn't look like a place where homeless or mentally ill lived.

"I will pick a place." Zhong Yi looked at the trend of the bamboo forest: "There is no formation."

But all those who walk the right way will not hide hidden weapons outside the house, but rely on the natural rocky terrain to form an array outside the house to isolate visitors or serve as a warning.And insidious and cunning people, most of them will play tricks in the house.

There is no more silt in this place, and the thick fallen leaves are piled up on the ground, and there is a rustling sound when you step on it.

Master Bai jumped to the ground, twisted his body and stepped forward briskly.

Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu saw it and hurried to follow, Zhong Yi snorted.

Wang Xiaoming said about it: "What are you doing? It's weird..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiaolu gave a "drink".

In the meantime, Master Bai, who was leisurely sneaking into the woods, suddenly jumped, and when he fell to the ground, he firmly held something under his paws.

"Cats can catch snakes?" Lu Xiaolu said in surprise.

A small green snake with the thickness of a finger was caught by Lord Bai, and its tail was still turning slightly.

Before they stepped forward to take a closer look, Master Bai meowed, raised his claws and slapped hard.

The little green snake seemed quite fragile, once Master Bai slapped it, it immediately stopped moving.

Only then did Zhong Yi step forward, and pulled out a piece of yellow paper to pull out the little snake from Master Bai's claws.

Wang Xiaoming snorted,

Master Bai slapped the little snake's head crookedly, but the emerald green little snake's belly has already started to rot.

"It's dead." Zhong Yi took out a knife and scratched it, but not a drop of blood came out.

"It was clearly still moving just now." Lu Xiaolu said.

Zhong Yi threw the little snake, Master Bai still walked towards the shed first, with his tail raised high, like a majestic banner.

The three followed the swaying flags to the shed, and the door opened before knocking.

A sour smell rushed out, and Lu Xiaolu sneezed rudely.

An old man went out with a ladle and was stunned when he saw them.

"%$?" the old man said.

Wang Xiaoming==

Lu Xiaolu==

Zhong Yi looked at his watch.

The old man watched them warily.

"I found the wrong place." Zhong Yi said suddenly, pulling Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu back: "Excuse me."

The old man stood at the door watching them go down the stairs, and then turned back to the shed.

Zhong Yi seemed to have eyes behind his back. As soon as the old man turned around, he quickly turned back and grabbed the old man with his hands.

A hoarse scream sounded, and a hairy thing rushed out of the door, and went straight to Zhong Yi's throat!

Almost at the same time, the old man raised his hand and splashed it, and the contents of the water ladle were about to rush towards Zhong Yi.

Master Bai reacted very quickly, as soon as the old man raised his hand, it just jumped over and bumped the old man's hand to one side.

Zhong Yi took half a step back, bowed his left leg, and pulled his hands. The ten pointed nails were barely caught on the ink line between his hands, less than a fist away from his face.

Lu Xiaolu and Wang Xiaoming also reacted, and immediately jumped up the steps in two steps.

The old man didn't look big, but he was strong, Lu Xiaolu stretched out his hand to grab it, but he missed it.

Wang Xiaoming had already pulled out his folding stick, and hit the hairy old woman head-on.

Seeing that it was difficult for the old man to take the three young men by force, he immediately turned around and was about to retreat into the shed, but Lu Xiaolu kicked the door open, and the shed made of bamboo pieces shook several times.

The old man seemed to be shocked by the shaking of the house. Seeing that Lu Xiaolu was approaching menacingly, he even lowered his head and bumped into Lu Xiaolu.

Originally, Lu Xiaolu thought that this old man had something strange like the old Black Mountain demon, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't recite the spell or transform, and looked at the old man's old face, Lu Xiaolu couldn't help but subconsciously paused.

After only a moment of hesitation, Lu Xiaolu was knocked sideways.

Just bumping and retreating like this, the old man ran in.

Zhong Yi's hands flew up and down, and the ink thread seemed to be entangled with life, and the pair of withered claws were entangled together in the blink of an eye.

The old woman still had burn marks on her face. Seeing that her hands were bound, she tilted her head and opened her mouth to bite Wang Xiaoming's neck, her movements were so rough that she was inhuman.

Master Bai rushed forward, hooked his paws on the sorceress's disheveled hair, and pulled her head back. Zhong Yi immediately kicked her, hitting her stomach, and kicked her into the shed. There was a rattling sound on the door frame.

At this time, the old man who ran into the shed rushed out again, still holding a dead rooster in his hand.

"Lu Xiaolu is back!" Zhong Yi immediately shouted sharply, pulling Wang Xiaoming away at the same time.

The dead rooster drooped its head, and it looked like it had been dead for a long time, but the old man flapped his hands on the rooster for a while, and made a few gurgles, and the cock's head stood upright and twitched. After two clicks, he was about to open his mouth, and a emerald green lightning shot out of the rooster's mouth with lightning speed.

Lord Bai was the first to bear the brunt and jumped forward, lightly twisted in mid-air, and slapped a small green snake under his paws.

Seeing that it didn't work, the old man stretched out his hand to untie the cloth scarf around his waist and shook it. The long dark blue thick cloth rushed towards Zhong Yi like a spirit snake, and wrapped Zhong Yi tightly in an instant, like an airtight bag. mummy.

Seeing that it worked, the old man showed a complacent look on his face. The rooster at his feet flapped its wings suddenly twice, and spit out several small green snakes from its mouth.

In the blue belt, Zhong Yi's movements could still be seen struggling, but the more he struggled, the tighter he was.

When they were able to get in, both Wang Xiaoming and Lu Xiaolu saw scales painted with blue paint on the belt, which could not be seen from a distance, but there was a faint reflection when viewed up close. At first glance, it looked like a big python covered with giant blue lins. Lu Xiaolu was tightly entangled.

Seeing Zhong Yi being countered, the sorceress struggled to get up, and grinned at them with a sinister smile.

"Fuck!" Lu Xiaolu confronted the old man: "What should I do!"

Wang Xiaoming: "Zhong Yi!"

"That thing can move by itself!" Lu Xiaolu cried out in despair, "Is that piece of cloth alive?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wang Xiaoming said incoherently: "We must stick to Marx... No, it's strange to say nothing..."

While the two were talking, the old man let out a strange cry, took out something from his arms, and bumped towards Lu Xiaolu while holding it.

"Uh——" Wang Xiaoming frantically fended off the witch's scratching, while randomly recalling what Zhong Yi forced him to memorize.

Left hand pinch.

Wang Xiaoming's hand was empty, and the sorceress immediately took the time to grab it, and there was blood on her neck.

The right hand holds the ruler.

Master Bai grabbed it hard, and the sorceress turned around and pinched her.

Wang Xiaoming put the tip of his tongue between his teeth, and silently recited the Shangqing Canopy Fumo spell that Zhong Yi asked him to recite over and over again nearly ten times.

The gods of all parties perform their duties...

Each doing his job, each doing his job...

Wang Xiaoming was so flustered that he didn't have time to think about it, and held the ruler behind his hand: "Uh--Shenguang Heyi, shaking the world--uh--"

Lu Xiaolu was only focused on confronting the old man, and didn't notice Wang Xiaoming's movements, but the old man in front of him obviously noticed it, screamed and threw a handful of rice at Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming yelled: "Heaven will destroy the species, hurry like a law!"

The handfuls of Chenmi fell down one after another before they were sprinkled on Wang Xiaoming's body, and were shrouded in a sudden red light.

Lu Xiaolu couldn't see the general in red armor attached to Wang Xiaoming's back, but saw Wang Xiaoming suddenly paused in place, and then suddenly felt different.

Although Wang Xiaoming still looked like Wang Xiaoming, he was different from the Wang Xiaoming he had known for several years. He had serious eyes, and he was unusually straight from his heels to his back, like a tight string.

He didn't even see how Wang Xiaoming jumped up, he found that the old woman had been tightly clamped by Wang Xiaoming's neck.
