There are always people who want to eat me

Tang Xiaowan followed Yu Huang and the others all the way, and when she walked into the bamboo forest, she deliberately leaned against Yu Huang, and said, "The wind is blowing, it's frighteningly cold."

Yu Huang glanced at her and said, "If you are afraid, wait for us at Linzikou."

"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Xiaowan quickly waved her hand, "I'm also an exorcist officially hired."

She took out a rice pan cake box from her pocket, opened it, and found that it was a compass, on which the heavenly stems and earthly branches were listed, and the pointer wandered around in it, and suddenly pointed to the west.Tang Xiaowan identified the direction, and just about to say "Susu met the evil there" saw Guan Zong and Yu Huang walking in that direction.

She frowned, put the compass in her pocket, and pondered: Could it be that two things collided?

The few people continued to move forward. After walking for about ten minutes, they didn't see any fragments of the scabbard. From the outside, the bamboo forest was not that big. After walking for about ten minutes, they should have reached the end, right?But there is not even a shadow.

Tang Xiaowan also felt that something was wrong, she said: "When Su Su and I came here a few days ago, I didn't realize that this bamboo forest is so big. What's the matter?"

"Ghost hits the wall?" Yu Huang and Tang Xiaowan said at the same time, Yu Huang said: "Let's make a mark, walk around first and then look." Yu Huang took out his dagger and carved three strokes on a bamboo forest, and they continued to I walked in one direction in the woods, but after walking around, I really arrived at the same place.

Ghosts hitting the wall, also known as ghosts blocking the way, or ghosts covering eyes, is a relatively common way to bump into ghosts. There are many folk stories about ghosts hitting walls, and they are all familiar with this, so they are not panicked.

Tang Xiaowan said: "When a ghost hits a wall, there is a folk recipe, which can be solved with a boy's urine." After speaking, Tang Xiaowan looked at Yu Huang expectantly.

boy... child... piss...

Yu Huang touched his nose in embarrassment, Tang Xiaowan said understandingly: "It's okay, I'll just turn around and go."

Yu Huang: "..." That's not the question! ! !

The corners of Guan Zong's mouth curled up slightly, Yu Huang glared at Guan Zong with a flushed face, and it's not all your fault, just smile, what are you laughing at!

Tang Xiaowan keenly captured the momentary different atmosphere between the two, and smiled meaningfully. She said, "Aside from boy urine, is there any other way to break it?"

Guan Zongdao: "Go this way."

He took the lead towards the northwest direction, Yu Huang and Tang Xiaowan hurriedly followed, and when they reached the end of the path, they saw the back door of Taiqing Temple. From here, one could see the back of the statue of the Immeasurable God, lit by the afterglow of the setting sun. Reflected a mottled shadow.

"Why is it already evening?" Yu Huang asked in surprise, "Didn't it be two o'clock when we went up the mountain? We walked around the bamboo forest for two hours?"

As he said that, Yu Huang took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Sure enough, after two hours, he didn't feel anything at all. He thought it would be less than half an hour.

"What's that?" Tang Xiaowan widened her eyes and pointed to the back door of Taiqing Temple in surprise.

Yu Huang looked in the direction she pointed, and after seeing it clearly, he said in surprise: "Then, is that a weasel?"

It was an adult weasel, a yellowish-brown weasel with sparse hair, it jumped out from the back door, and when it jumped to a dirt plateau, it raised its small head, rolled its black eyeballs, and glanced at it for the last time. Tail, barked twice at the back door.

Not long after, a group of weasels jumped out from the back door, trotted all the way to follow, and got into the bamboo forest from another road.

"Do you want to follow the past?" Yu Huang raised his head and asked Guan Zong.

Guan Zong thought for a while and said, "Okay."

Tang Xiaowan hurriedly said: "How could they escape from the Taoist temple? No, I have to go to the Taoist temple to see."

Yu Huang nodded and said: "You go, wait for us in the Taoist temple later, it's getting dark, don't run around like a girl."

"It's okay!" Tang Xiaowan felt very hot in her heart. She snatched Yu Huang's mobile phone, entered her own number, and said, "I'll find you later, so it's a deal!" After finishing speaking, she went to the Taoist temple direction to run.

Yu Huang and Guan Zong closely followed the pack of weasels. After they got into the bamboo forest, they ran in one direction in unison.

As we walked, the sky became completely dark. Yu Huang paid attention this time and looked at his watch specially, and another two hours passed without realizing it.

There was a little fire in the bamboo forest in the distance, and those weasels ran towards the direction of the fire. Gradually, the fire became bigger and bigger. After stopping, there was a bonfire surrounded by a bamboo tree in front, surrounded by a group of weasels. The bonfire danced strangely, and the weasels who came soon joined them. About twenty weasels gathered together and danced a dance that was suspected to be sacrificial.

Guan Zong and Yu Huang hid in the dark and watched them.

In the light of the fire, Yu Huang vaguely noticed that the one surrounded by them in the bonfire seemed to be the fragment of Guan Zong's scabbard. He was not sure, so he pulled Guan Zong's sleeve and asked, "Look there, it's your knife. A sheath fragment?"

"I can't see clearly."

"What sacrifices are they doing?"

"Pray." Guan Zong said, "There is a saying among the folks that there are four immortals, red, yellow, white, and blue. The weasel is one of the great immortals. They are easier to cultivate than other animals and have a natural keen sense of the five elements. They are happy to imitate human beings. I have seen this kind of dance before, and they are praying to Huang Zongzong to bless them. As for the content of blessings varies from dance to dance, I can’t see what they are praying for.”

As soon as Guan Zong finished speaking, he saw four weasels carrying a weasel out together. After the weasel was placed on the ground, it looked very weak, hunched over, and lay listlessly on the leaves.After coming out from it, the surrounding weasels stopped making any sound, even the dancing ones stopped.

A weasel wearing a bamboo leaf came over, holding a bamboo tube in his hand. He slowly sprinkled the water in the bamboo tube on the weasel, making a strange gurgling sound from his throat.

The weak weasel said: "I can't live anymore."

"Gee - don't give up!"

"Really, it doesn't matter, without me, the ethnic group can continue to prosper."

"!!!" The weasel wearing the bamboo leaves did not answer, he continued the ceremony, and the dozens of weasels behind him began to dance around the bonfire again. After the dew was sprinkled, the priest turned and walked to the bamboo. Next to him, he squatted down and hugged something.

With the aid of the bonfire, they now saw clearly that it was the fragment of Guan Zong's scabbard!

"What should I do?" Yu Huang asked. It's very tricky right now. These weasels have clearly regarded the fragment of the scabbard as a superstitious sacred object. It is not impossible to hand it over to them, and use force to grab it if necessary. After all, the thing belongs to the Guanzong, and it is just returned to the original owner.It's just that the four folk immortals are particularly difficult to deal with, especially the weasels are known for holding grudges and are very united. Once they offend them, they will not attack on the spot, but this grudge will always be remembered until it can be written off.

***

On the other side, after Tang Xiaowan waited for all the weasels to run out, she entered the Taiqing Temple through the back door. Just as she was about to enter the door, she saw a weasel running over in a hurry with a piece of uneaten meat in its mouth, and bumped into each other. Straight ahead while avoiding the opponent.

Tang Xiaowan hid to the side, squatted down next to a big tree, watched the weasel disappear before carefully standing up.

After she entered the house, she saw a little Taoist priest sweeping the floor, but there was no sign of the weasel.

When the little Taoist saw her, he bowed to her and said, "Why did the venerable come here?"

"I'm sorry." Tang Xiaowan scratched her face and said with a smile, "I came here when I got lost."

The little Taoist said: "Then let me guide the Venerable, go here."

"No hurry, no hurry." Tang Xiaowan hurried over, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you see a weasel running out of here just now?"

The little Taoist asked in surprise: "Weasels? Where did weasels come from?"

"It seems that you missed it..." Tang Xiaowan said regretfully, "It's about this big, and there is still an unfinished chicken in her mouth." She gestured, and suddenly found a chicken bone by the wall. Pointing, said: "Chicken bones!"

The little Taoist hurriedly read: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Tang Xiaowan said: "However, it may be someone in your view who ate it. The Taoist priests nowadays are not like before. They eat meat, drink alcohol, play women, and there are many people who play games online. Look at you, there is oil on the lips, Are you ready for meat?"

The little Taoist blushed with guilt, and said: "Don't tell my master, don't, or I will be punished again."

Tang Xiaowan smiled and said, "No, no, where are the others in the temple?"

"It's evening time for cultivating the Tao." The little Taoist blinked his watery eyes and explained, "Master and uncle are all meditating in their respective rooms."

"Really?" Tang Xiaowan pondered, "Be careful, I really saw a weasel."

"Yes, is it?" the little Taoist said dripping with sweat.

Tang Xiaowan said: "It's good to see that you are all right. This Taoist talisman is for you to use, maybe it will be useful." She thought it was all about it. A little girl like a student gave a real Taoist Taoist talisman, and the other party would definitely use it. I feel like I'm mentally ill...

As expected, the little Taoist confiscated it, and Tang Xiaowan didn't force it. She was about to paste a few talismans on the back door in a while, so she took the Taoist talisman in her hand; Already, I'll take a look!"

The little Taoist: "...Your Majesty, be careful."

Tang Xiaowan waved her hand, "It should be you who are careful."

"They want to save this weasel, do you think we can make a deal?" Yu Huang asked.

"This weasel has reached the end of its lifespan, and its soul is almost half out of its body, so how do we trade?" Guan Zong asked rhetorically.

Yu Huang was unhappy, pondered for a moment, and said: "Although there is a saying in the folk that 'the king of hell wants you to die on the third watch, and will never keep anyone until the fifth watch', I have a way to make it stay until the fifth watch, so that you can get away with it."

Guan Zong pondered for a while and said, "Try."

The fragment of the scabbard was put into the arms of the dying weasel by the priest. He muttered something in his mouth, and he chanted again and again, but the weasel was still dying and lifeless.

All the weasels were quiet again, waiting for a miracle, but nothing happened.

The weasel said: "It doesn't matter, I will die when I die."

"No, you, you can't die." The officiant spoke in a jerky manner, stammering.

The weasel shook his head and said: "Life and death is a matter of fate, my time is approaching, and I can't delay it."

"Are you going to save him?" Yu Huang calmly walked out of the woods. After seeing him, all the weasels immediately showed hunger and thirst. flow.

"chicken?!!"

"It's really chicken!"

“Chicken delivered to your door!”

"It's still a fat running pheasant!"

Yu Huang: "......"

He said dumbfoundingly: "Guan Zong, why don't you come?"

Guan Zong came out from the shadow of the forest, and the group of weasels felt the evil spirit on Guan Zong's body and immediately backed up a few steps unconsciously.

The officiant firmly protected the scabbard fragments, for fear that Guan Zong was a villain who came to snatch their family's magic weapon.
