Back at the inn, Qin Shaoyou immediately called Monk Ma, Sun Xianzong and others who were left behind, told them the intelligence they had detected, listened to their opinions, and then began to prepare for the 'reception' in the evening.
"Monk, you and Lao Sun will lead people to block the doors and windows of several Datong shops. Remember to block the doors tightly. Even if you are acting, you must act like the real thing. Don't let our 'guests' come.
You can see the flaw."
"yes."
Monk Ma and Sun Xianzong took the order and immediately got busy.
We are all night watchmen and have been dealing with monsters and ghosts all the time. Naturally, we know very well that just blocking the doors and windows, no matter how tight the blocking is, can only guard against some small monsters and ghosts. It is impossible to guard against big monsters and ghosts.
of.
This behavior is more of a psychological comfort.
But for ordinary people, even if they know that this method is of no use, they will still do it with a sense of luck, or even do it to the extreme.
But, why did Zhao Xianyou also let them block the doors and windows?
Can this method really prevent the monsters here? It shouldn't.
Although confused, Qin Shaoyou still let Ma Monk, Sun Xianzong and others do their best.
As the saying goes, even if you are acting, you must act as if it were real, otherwise you will not be able to deceive cunning monsters.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou ordered Cui Yougui again: "Brother Cui, where are your paper figures? Put a few of them in Jianqing and Tingyu's rooms and pretend to be them."
Cui Yougui immediately followed the instructions, took out the paper man and got busy.
His paper figures, under the influence of magic, are enough to look real!
Otherwise, Zhu Xiucai would not be thinking about it till now.
The only trouble is that Brother Cui's painting skills are not very good. The faces of the paper figures he makes are all random. If you are lucky, you will get a pretty face. If you are not lucky, the paper figures will have no fighting power.
It can be doubled - the enemy will be frightened when they see the face of the paper man, thus losing their momentum and opportunity.
Although Cui Youying tried very hard to draw the appearance of Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and others, and "change the heads" of the paper figures. However, painting was too difficult for him, and he couldn't even draw several paintings.
Su Jianqing and others are somewhat similar to Zhu Xiucai.
In other words, he destroyed all these paintings, otherwise he might have created the abstract painting school of the Great Xia Dynasty.
In the end, Zhu Xiucai couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Get out of here, I'll do it." He took the brush from Cui Youxian's hand and began to paint the appearance of Su Jianqing and others.
Fortunately, this kind of ghostwriting will not affect the effect of changing the head of the paper man.
As for Zhu Xiucai's painting skills, he learned them from the painter who painted erotic palaces. He knows how many levels higher than Cui Youxian.
In a short time, he painted the big heads of Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and Wenzhu.
Cui Youyou picked it up and took a look at it. Although he was reluctant, he had to admit: "The painting is indeed a little bit better than mine."
Then he took out the paper man, pasted these paintings on the head of the paper man one by one, and chanted the incantation.
Under the influence of the spell, several paintings were quickly integrated into the faces of the paper figures, causing them to 'change their heads' together, turning into the appearance of Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and Wenzhu.
Although they cannot be said to be lifelike or completely consistent, it is enough to hide them from people or ghosts who are not particularly familiar with them.
Zhu Xiucai's eyes lit up and he was very excited: "Old Taoist..."
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Cui Youhang: "Shut up, don't say anything, I won't agree."
Zhu Xiucai was stunned: "I haven't said anything yet, why don't you agree?"
Cui Youyou sneered and said: "How can I still not understand your little thoughts? I tell you, there is no chance!"
"Gan!"
The indignant Zhu Xiucai raised his middle finger to greet Cui Yougui.
These words and gestures were all learned from Qin Shaoyou.
Cui Youyou ignored him and turned to the three junior sisters Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and Wenzhu, and asked for a piece of their hair, which he tied to the three paper figures respectively.
In this way, the paper figures not only look similar to them, but also have their breath and human flavor. No matter how cunning the demons are and how sharp their noses are, as long as they don't bite them, there is no problem in hiding them.
On the other side, Qin Shaoyou took out a shadow puppet and let everyone blow on it.
When the shadow puppets swelled up, he used his blood and energy to control them, making them take alert, patrol, and other actions. After confirming that everything was correct, he nodded with satisfaction.
In addition, Qin Shaoyou also released paper figures and Gu insects and spread them in many places in the county to help monitor the situation in the county.
In case tonight, the ghost and its minions do not come to the inn, but go elsewhere, these paper figures and Gu insects can also send back the message in time, allowing Qin Shaoyou to lead people to rush over, kill and capture them
, or follow it and trace it to the ghost lair.
After making these arrangements, Qin Shaoyou asked everyone to ambush inside and outside several Datong shops, waiting for the ghost guests to come.
Everyone had hidden qi talismans and invisibility talismans affixed to their bodies, and they chose suitable locations to hide themselves. Even if the demons came to them, it would be difficult for them to detect their presence.
Moreover, Qin Shaoyou also issued an escape talisman to everyone, so that if they were in danger of being exposed, they could activate the escape talisman in time and hide in the wood and earth.
After all the arrangements, it was completely dark, and the sound of gongs sounded on the street outside to remind people that the curfew time had arrived.
Qin Shaoyou, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and others found a good hiding place in the yard of the inn.
This place happened to have a panoramic view of the large shops where they lived.
However, as time passed by, nothing weird or weird happened in the inn or even in the entire county.
The Night Parade, Paper Man and Gu Chong lurking in the Demon Suppression Division, as well as the Gu Chong and Paper Man monitoring everywhere in the county, have not sent back any news.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou had already anticipated this situation and was not in a hurry.
Let the night fly a little longer.
Probably because of the haunting at night, there is no watchman in this county to remind people of the time.
It was even quiet, not even the sounds of cats, dogs and mice, it was as quiet as a dead city.
This kind of situation also happened before when the evil situation in Mianyuan County was serious.
After all, watchmen are ordinary people, and the little remuneration they get from doing the watch cannot allow them to risk their lives. As for animals such as cats, dogs, mice, they have a higher sense of danger than humans, let alone
Yelling at such times.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou and the others are all experienced night watchmen. Even if there is no watchman to tell the time, they can still judge the time through other methods and it is quite accurate.
After lying in wait for a long time, Zhu Xiucai quietly approached Qin Shaoyou and whispered: "Sir, it's already five o'clock in the morning, why is there still no movement? Did the ghost not come, or did it hide it from all of us?
Why don't I go into the house and take a look?"
The fifth watch is from three to five o'clock in the morning.
However, according to Qin Shaoyou's judgment, the more accurate time at this moment should be around four o'clock.
It's still some time before dawn, but it won't be long either.
From this point of view, everyone had been watching all night, but found nothing.
This situation was somewhat beyond Qin Shaoyou's expectations.
Could it be that the previous visit to the Demon Suppression Department aroused the suspicion of the ghost, so it did not show up, but hid in the dark to spy on it?
If so, where would it be hidden? What else could it spy?
Qin Shaoyou did not rush to agree to Zhu Xiucai's proposal, but frowned and thought about these issues.
At this moment, a slight rustling sound sounded in the night sky.
At first, Qin Shaoyou thought it was going to rain. This was the sound of falling raindrops.
But soon he realized something was wrong!
Because there was an urge to eat in his heart.
This is not rain.
Something evil is falling from the sky!
Qin Shaoyou immediately raised his head and looked at the night sky.
Although the sky was pitch black, Qin Shaoyou still saw those things falling from the sky with the help of his [Bright Eyesight].
Those are extremely thin white silk threads...
It's spider silk!
The sky is full of spider silk!
They hung from the night sky, and a strange silk rain began to fall in this county!
