But then, the attack that was supposed to come never came.!
Until the drizzle stopped, until dawn came, the fire slowly extinguished, until Lin Fengjin's closed eyes became bloodshot, the attack still didn't come.
Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Lin Fengjin finally exhaled a long breath tiredly. This seemed to be the longest night in his life. Sometimes he was really looking forward to the attack, but instead
A relief.
After Lin Fengjin stood up, he stretched out for a long time and heard the bones and joints on his body crackling. Then the rest of the people also yawned and climbed up sleepily, naturally following the steps.
Everyone was doing their own thing: Old Huangtou fed the horses, Lin De packed the goods, and Liu Zhi took out the pot and poured some water to make porridge.
one
Lin Fengjin himself took out the glove "Baicao Stove", and then took out half a catty of sun-dried ginseng from the package he carried with him, grabbed them one by one, then raised his head, poured it into his mouth and squeezed it out
of essence juice.
After all, half a pound of sun-dried ginseng only squeezes out four drops of essence, while the remaining impurities are as dry as dust and will be dissipated by the wind.
This kind of supplement method still has a certain effect for Lin Fengjin. At least he has persisted for three months and feels that his energy has become much stronger. When practicing the art of hunting, he originally felt that many movements were extremely difficult for the body to do.
, and you can gradually overcome the past.
It's a good thing that the Lin family is a wealthy family. Otherwise, Lin Fengjin's daily diet of half a pound of sun-dried ginseng three times a day would probably have depleted the family. After all, there is no artificial breeding here.
world.
No matter how small the ginseng sold in drug stores is and how thin the beards are, it must be legitimate wild ginseng.
After taking care of everything, Lin Fengjin looked at the people who were still busy and the Taoist Fu who suddenly became very industrious and ran around. He smiled and then started to go out for a walk, even though the road was still very busy.
It's mud.
Lin Fengjin actually didn't go far, that is, he walked around the temple. When he came back, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyebrows.
Yes, there are no suspicious footprints, claw marks or other marks.
This can only mean one thing, that is, the monster that attacked last night has very strong jumping ability and can even fly! And its strength must not be weak. Otherwise, Liu Bo is a strong man, how could he be silent?
Evaporated?
After a group of people ate hard pancakes and salted eggs and drank two or three bowls of cornstarch porridge cooked with willow branches, they looked at Lin Fengjin to see what decision he had made. After all, the guard Liu Bo came with him.
He disappeared mysteriously without any reason. As the saying goes, if you want to see the person when you are alive, and if you want to see the body after death, you must give his family an explanation.
Lin Fengjin also made a decision very simply. He would look for people in the morning. If there were no clues in the morning, he would hit the road immediately after noon. When he reached the nearest village, he would immediately hire more people to come back and continue the search at all costs.
"You must not spend the night here again." Lin Fengjin told everyone simply: "Otherwise, Liu Bo will definitely not be the only one who mysteriously disappears."
Everyone agreed with Lin Fengjin's decision, even Wang Tie, who had the best relationship with Liu Bo, also agreed with both hands.
Although Wang Tie was seriously injured before, due to his careful care, his recovery ability is probably very good, so his abilities have recovered to 70% to 80%. According to his temperament like a bull, even if he faced a
He would not be timid even if there were hundreds of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, and he would dare to rush forward - whether he could defeat them or not was one thing, but at least he was truly fearless.
However, when faced with the situation last night, Wang Tie sadly realized that his bravery was really of no use. Such a mysterious and silent attack made any brave person feel like punching the air or cotton.
·It became a futile move.
More importantly, bravery is based on the understanding of known things. After experiencing the mysterious situation last night, Wang Tie was really confused, completely confused, and even felt a vague feeling in his bones.
I felt so scared and chilled that I could only sigh in my heart and acquiesced to the young master's approach.
The search all morning was in vain. When everyone regrouped at noon, Old Huangtou could not wait to wave his whip and drive the animals on the road. Yes, he had long wanted to leave this desolate and ghostly place.
.Old Huangtou even secretly swore in his heart that after this trip, he would never change his career. For example, the grocery store opened by Zhou Erlang next door would be good?
When I think of the scene where I am comfortably basking in the sun on a recliner, drinking wine, and occasionally throwing a few braised peanuts to the old dog lying next to me that I have fed for ten years. Old Huangtou is stunned.
I couldn't help but feel envious and excited, so I became even more energetic in shouting at the animals.
Lin Fengjin naturally enjoyed the young master's privileges and lay on the carriage to catch up on his sleep. However, the carriage moved a few times and there seemed to be some voices outside, and then the carriage stopped again...
Soon, Linde opened the curtain. The expression on this usually cold guy's face was very strange. He was frowning helplessly, as if an ordinary person had stepped on feces or touched something else on the railing.
The kind of human nasal discharge.
"Master, that Taoist priest wants to go with us."
Lin Fengjin originally sat up with a yawn. After hearing the news, he suddenly became energetic and said with interest:
"Oh? Bring him here."
Soon, the slovenly and wretched Taoist Fu arrived in front of the carriage, rubbed his hands together, tried hard to show sincerity in his two cunning mung bean eyes, and then said pitifully:
"Sir, please take me with you?"
Lin Fengjin half-sat on the soft couch and said with a faint smile:
"Aren't you going to drive away the corpses?"
Taoist Fu said with a bitter face:
"Young Master! How dare you stay here until dark before going out! Besides, the Yin Qi here is already very strong. These corpses have been soaked for so long. If you try to drive them away, they will probably turn into corpses. The villain will still
I haven’t lived enough.”
Lin Fengjin smiled slightly and said:
"Very good, it seems that you also know that this damn place is very dangerous. We have reached the first consensus. In this case, I allow you to follow us, but the premise is that you hand over the treasure you are carrying."
Taoist Fu was shocked and began to stutter crazily:
"Big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big! Where can I find any valuable treasures?"
His appearance was very real and anxious, and it didn't look like he was faking it at all. However, Lin Fengjin's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, and he said coldly:
"You don't have to give it, but please don't say no, because that's insulting my intelligence!"
Even after meeting Taoist Fu, Lin Fengjin said seriously:
"I'm only asking three questions. If you can answer them, then you can pretend that I didn't say anything before."
A cunning and panicked light flashed across Taoist Fu's eyes, but on the surface he agreed with a heartbeat. Lin Fengjin sneered:
"First question, you said that your method of exorcising corpses came from the pamphlet on the old Taoist who died of illness, and the only way to exorcise corpses using soul-suppressing nails is the Maoshan series of ghost-expelling and soul-catching techniques. So, how old are you?
When you were 20 years old, you met an old Taoist who died of illness and started practicing this magic?"
Taoist Fu murmured for a long time, sometimes saying he was twenty years old, sometimes saying he was thirty years old, but Lin Fengjin sighed:
"As far as I know, Maoshan's art of exorcising ghosts and absorbing souls becomes more difficult the further you go, and the speed of practice will slow down quickly after you get started. It can be called a model of easy to learn but difficult to master, even for a rare genius in the sect.
, it took a full thirty-five years to practice this art to the fifth level, and only when you have practiced the art of expelling ghosts and absorbing souls to the fifth level, can you drive corpses to fight!"
Lin Fengjin's words stopped abruptly here, and then he just looked at Taoist Fu with a smile. Although he didn't say what he said next, the meaning of his words was very obvious---how can you be driven by such a half-hearted person?
Corpse combat? Don’t say you have really cultivated to the fifth level?
Taoist Fu smiled dryly, but cold sweat rolled down his forehead, but he was speechless.
Lin Fengjin's eyes were like a needle piercing the truth, and he raised his second finger:
"We checked into the temple in the evening, but Liu Bo disappeared at midnight, and you entered the temple right after. This time period is really a coincidence. You said Liu Bo's disappearance was not your fault,
I believe this, but you also said that Liu Bo’s disappearance had nothing to do with you, which I don’t believe!”
"How can there be such a coincidence in the world that something happened to you right after you arrived? The most reasonable explanation is: you were nailed by the monster when you were chasing corpses all night, but I don't know why, it was always looking for opportunities and didn't take action.
, then it judged that you would enter the temple, so it took the lead to ambush him, and when it met Liu Bo, it captured him for a midnight snack, am I right?"
When Lin Fengjin asked the second question, Taoist Fu immediately called Chong Tianqu and swore as if he would cry in the next second. Lin Fengjin ignored him and said with a smile:
"I know you won't admit it, but Master Fu, can you explain to me that when you were attacked by the black tentacles, you were clearly in the innermost part of the fire and the attack was the most difficult, but why did the monster choose to stay far away from you?
Instead of attacking Wang Tie, who is closest to the door and the easiest to win, why not attack you who is the most difficult? This can only mean one thing. Your attractiveness is the greatest among us. You have the most attractive thing about the monster.
