Chapter 39 Soul-binding (Thanks to the leader @'A bitter smile remains at the corner of the mouth')
"Tuk!——"
"Tuk! Tuk!——"
"It's three o'clock at midnight, everything is safe and sound."
"clang--"
In the middle of the night, the night is quiet.
The entire people of Chang County fell into a deep sleep.
Everything is quiet.
The night is getting darker and darker.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Under the still night of the waning moon, the sound of many people's footsteps could be heard in Changxian County. The footsteps were neat and thumping on the ground, as if there were thousands of troops marching.
There was a lot of movement.
At this time, the people nearby were still sleeping deeply.
Not many people heard the Yin soldiers taking advantage of the passage.
Even if someone occasionally hears the marching sound of Yin soldiers taking advantage of the road while half asleep, they just think it is a dream, turn over and go back to sleep, and few people notice anything strange.
Even if someone did notice something strange, it was curfew time, and they would not dare to go out to check for fear of being executed on the spot.
The sound of Yin soldiers taking advantage of the passage gradually faded away.
Disappeared in the thick night.
From the west gate of Changxian County, it disappears to the east of Changxian County.
East of Chang County.
Lin Lu's family.
The white coffin in the yard was still there, safe and sound.
Long benches, lime powder, big cloths to cover the moon, copper basins, paper money, incense candles, bills and other objects were also placed in the yard.
There were several hot-blooded Lin family men guarding the yard. They were eating meat and drinking wine to keep vigil.
Guarding the white coffin in the yard.
The old Taoist priest was not guarding the coffin tonight.
In the past few days, after toiling in the mountains for so long, the old Taoist priest has not had enough food and rest. He just returned to Chang County today and has not had time to catch up on his sleep.
And after all, he is old and his physical strength is naturally not as good as that of young people.
So after he came back from Deshan Building, he went back to his house to catch up on his sleep. If there was any movement in the yard, he asked the Lin family to come over and call him.
The old Taoist priest was so tired that when he fell asleep, he fell into a deep sleep.
There was thunderous snoring and grinding of teeth in the room. The sound was so noisy that even the men of the Lin family who were guarding the coffin in the yard heard it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It seemed that the sound of uniform footsteps of thousands of troops marching came from far and near. As it got closer and closer, the footsteps of many people became louder and louder.
Even the old Taoist priest's thunderous snoring and grinding of teeth could not suppress the sound of marching footsteps, and the old Taoist priest was awakened from his sleep.
The old Taoist priest didn't react at first, thinking who was making such a big noise outside. He was about to open the window to see what was going on outside, but as a result, the sound of marching footsteps had already entered the yard of Lin Lu's house.
The old Taoist priest finally changed his expression. He thought that this was an excuse from the Yin soldiers!
And the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts has entered the courtyard, and I am afraid that the men of the Lin family who are keeping vigil are already in danger.
The old Taoist priest hurriedly closed all the doors and windows, then took out all the exorcism charms he had with him and plastered them all over the doors, windows and walls.
After finishing this, the old Taoist priest felt that it was not enough, so he took out the rooster's blood mixed with cinnabar to ward off evil spirits, and began to scribble "Xingqi Golden Seal Script" on the four walls.
"Xingqi Golden Seal" contains the name of the God of Thunder, Xingqi tactics, calligraphy talismans, etc.
This is a famous Taoist spell to ward off evil spirits.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is like a ghostly talisman drawn from heaven.
Moreover, the rooster blood is not ordinary rooster blood, it is the blood of roosters slaughtered at noon and absorbed the yang energy of noon.
The old Taoist priest was glad that he acted cautiously and did not forget to take these eating fellows with him even when he was sleeping.
Otherwise, he would have been so flustered and unprepared that he would have had no choice but to sit on the ground and wait to die.
The old Taoist priest swore.
His hand speed has never been so fast in his life.
Fortunately, he did not lose his ancestral craftsmanship.
I often ponder the "Xingqi Golden Seal Script" passed down by my ancestors.
Otherwise, even if his hand speed can keep up.
It was too late to copy the book when I was on my feet at the last minute.
After the old Taoist priest finished writing the wall on the window side, he started writing on the wall with the door frame. Even the window paper and wooden door were covered with incantations.
Then the remaining two walls were filled with incantations.
Even though my hand is sore from writing.
People were sweating profusely.
But the old Taoist priest still didn't dare to delay. His whole heart was tense to the extreme, and his hands were sore that it was better to write it down than to have his soul taken away by the Yin soldiers and lose his life.
Under this desperate situation, the old Taoist priest unleashed his unprecedented potential. Finally, at the critical moment, the four walls were covered with golden seal incantations.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest dropped the pen and cinnabar in his hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However!
The old Taoist priest was not happy for a long time. He seemed to remember something and cursed "Oh!"
The old Taoist priest looked up at the roof that was eight or nine feet above the ground, and his face turned pale for a moment.
Sure enough, at this moment, the old Taoist priest felt that his soul seemed to be hooked by something. He was like falling into an ice cellar, and the cold wind was blowing from the ground. The next moment, he was detained as lightly as nothing.
At the moment when the soul of the old Taoist priest was taken away, the scene in front of him changed. The four walls of the house were not covered with exorcism charms, and there were no exorcism charms posted on the walls. Only his body was still lying on the bed in the room.
Covered and sleeping.
All the struggles before.
Everything draws spells.
It was all a dream of his.
The moment when his soul was taken away by the Yin soldiers, his dream was shattered.
Before the old Taoist priest had time to grieve, his spirit had already "passed" through the solid wall and stood in the windy courtyard.
The men of the Lin family who were responsible for the night watch in the yard were still eating meat and drinking wine, and they seemed not to have heard the big noise made by the Yin soldiers.
The old Taoist priest wanted to run over and shout for help, but what those Lin family men drank was not ordinary Fenjiu or Shaojiu, but the Sanyang wine specially left for them by the old Taoist priest.
In his eyes, these men from the Lin family were like blazing hot stoves, and his soul felt like a tingling sensation.
"Those who drowned in the water were all naked swimmers!"
Looking at the situation in front of him, the four words "trap yourself in a cocoon" should be the most suitable for the situation, but the old Taoist priest felt sad in his heart and suddenly realized another life motto.
His soul was imprisoned at this time, and without his body to protect his fragile soul, he was just swimming naked in the world!
After the Yin soldiers took advantage of the passage to capture the soul of the old Taoist priest, they continued to march forward, gradually moving further and further away, disappearing under the thick night.
…
Inn.
The night was silent, many people were fast asleep, and even the candlelights had been extinguished, leaving the entire inn in darkness.
Zi Shi.
Jin An had just fallen asleep not long ago.
After he returned to the inn, he did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, he practiced martial arts diligently before falling asleep in the middle of the night.
And just when Jin An felt that he had just fallen asleep, suddenly!
He actually heard the sound of the troops marching and fighting in the middle of the night.
The sound of footsteps came from far away, getting closer and closer.
Hearing the movement, he walked straight through streets, buildings, and inns, and finally, the sound of many marching footsteps appeared very close to the house outside his door.
The Yin soldiers borrowed the opportunity!
In an instant, Jin An's scalp felt chilly. He rolled over from the bed and sat up in shock. He shuddered and looked at the dark night outside the door!
