Chapter 17: The Lamp Trick of Paper Ghosts
At this time, at the beginning of the night, there are sparks everywhere in the village, this kind of Lisu village living in the deep mountains is not electrified, if it is in normal times, the villagers rest early, if you walk in the village, you may still hear the primitive sound of one after another, but at this moment, there are a large number of outsiders stationed, the village is a little lively, in the threshing field diagonally opposite the barn, there is a bonfire lit, and then those soldiers who searched in this large area began to return, looking for the villagers to buy some food, Eat on the threshing floor.
There was the rich fragrance of food in the wind, and I and I were drooling with envy, when we heard movement at the barn door, and suddenly fell low on the roof of the beam, not daring to move.
A thin figure appeared at the door, it was the old man with a hemp pole, I heard Wu Linyi call him Lao Hu.
He appeared at the door, and then looked into the darkness for a moment, and then shouted in a deep voice, "I know that you are here, come out and have something to tell you." After more than ten seconds, Lao Hu quickly glanced back, then closed the door gently, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide, this barn is rarely entered, but there are shoe prints in the dust, if I hadn't quietly messed up these for you, you would have been discovered a long time ago......"
Me and Miscellaneous Trail quietly appeared from the darkness, one after the other, sandwiching him in the middle, Miscellaneous Trail was silent, and I asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to help us?" ”
When Lao Hu saw us appear, he was not sad or happy, but smiled miserably, and said to thank you for your grace of not killing.
Seeing that I didn't speak, he grinned and said that you said mean things in the early morning, but you also woke me up. In fact, over the years, in addition to the continuous proficiency of the means, I have not made any progress in cultivation, and it is estimated that this has something to do with my mentality of being willing to be plain and giving in to power. The reason why I came to you is that there are three main things, the first is that I just learned that Xiao Yingzhong of the Northwest Bureau has raised a challenge proposal for your case, and now it has entered the reiteration stage, but you escaped, and Bai Lutan disappeared mysteriously, I don't know which side of the road is in the hand, for a while the undercurrent is crowded, and now all parties are fighting fiercely......
I nodded, looked back at the miscellaneous hairy path, he shrugged his shoulders, and said that my uncle is not usually so impulsive, it seems that he is really angry this time.
I nodded, the uncle of the Xiao family didn't communicate much with me, but I knew that he liked Lao Xiao's eldest nephew the most, and I was Lao Xiao's brother in life and death, and he had a lot of dealings with the Xiao family, so he naturally had anger to investigate. I didn't say much and asked what about the second thing?
Lao Hu told me that the second thing is to tell you that Li Tengfei has a bronze mirror in his hand, which can locate the person who marks it, so it is easy to find you - but you are hiding here, he didn't mention it, and I think the mirror is useful, but it is not great. Several of their principals are discussing, guessing that you have not fled far, but are hiding in the vicinity, and have decided to start investigating several key areas in the next few days......
We looked at each other, no wonder the pursuers were always like kraft candy and couldn't get rid of it, it turned out to be Li Tengfei's mirror. This time, if it weren't for the miscellaneous hair trail arranging a small array of hidden figures and breath in advance, I am afraid that this time, we would be trapped in a cage and caught turtles in an urn.
"The third question,"
Lao Hu swallowed his saliva and said: "If you can survive the arrest in the past few days, the manpower assisted by the army may be withdrawn, and we are about to go back, and the next person to track you may be taken over by Li Tengfei and Mao Tongzhen, as well as the team sent by Yang Zhixiu." ”
After saying this, Lao Hu took out two lumps of hot ghee glutinous rice cakes from his pocket, and said that you are also tired for a day, eat this, and then rest early. It's better to leave as soon as possible, when Mao Tongzhen was chatting with Li Tengfei just now, he said that he always felt that this village was weird, as if someone was peeping - his feeling was so accurate! Tomorrow, there will be a more thorough and rigorous search, and the whole village will be swept again, inside and outside the village, in the corners and corners, so you are here to ...... It's not safe anymore.
I took the ghee glutinous rice cake in Lao Hu's hand, and when I heard his words of concern, I was a little moved, and I just wanted to say two words of gratitude to him, but he waved his hands and said that he didn't say anything else, if you are arrested, don't confess my old beard, this ...... The most realistic.
I and Miscellaneous Xiaodao couldn't help laughing, daring to love this old guy is still worried about this matter, but it is precisely because of this that he seems to be frank and true.
When I used to watch movies, I remember a line to the effect of: "If a person can suppress the fear in his heart, then he must be the king of his world." This sentence has also been fulfilled to Lao Hu's body, and today, 13 years later, people with a door can inquire about more than ten in-service masters in the Southwest Bureau, and Hu Renquan's name must be among them.
These words are far away, back to that cold night in the winter of 09, I and the miscellaneous hair Xiaodao chewed on the ghee sent by Lao Hu and the residual temperature, and I felt that my physical strength was recovering little by little, little by little. Cultivators are also human beings, and the life of eating and drinking is only suitable for those who cultivate the old way in the mountains of Bigu, or the little demon Duoduo, like ours, who are on a high-intensity exercise escape journey, if they do not replenish food in time, they will definitely become weaker and weaker, and they will no longer be able to walk.
Lao Hu's words, let us can't help but be vigilant, there are masters in this trip, the algorithm deduction is powerful, we set up a bureau to hide the breath, they can even deduce that we are not far away, if it drags on until tomorrow morning, they are using a comb-like method to screen it, we may not be as lucky as today.
Run, we must run, run far away, otherwise we will not be able to escape when the day dawns.
I and the miscellaneous trail quickly reached a consensus, but the escape should also pay attention to the method, the pursuers have built this place into a base camp, but if there is any change, a large number of masters will come in an instant, and the blood tiger red fei of the miscellaneous trail does not have three days, it is impossible to call it out again, without the blood tiger, how can we lower the power of the flying sword to eliminate the demon?
And in addition, what is even more terrifying is the guns in the hands of the soldiers.
Strafing from dozens of automatic rifles, we are not earth immortals, where can we resist this metal storm?
We crouched in the observation hole at the top of the barn and looked around, but we saw that on the outskirts of the stockade, every five meters or so, there was a soldier with a gun on guard. It seems that Mao Tongzhen and others are also suspecting that we may be hiding in the stockade, which is why the precautions are so strict.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh, I knew that I wouldn't come in. Moreover, if we don't spare our hands, these soldiers who pose the greatest threat to us are actually the most vulnerable, whether it is a fat bug, or a fire baby, or two flowers, as long as we blatantly ignore it, these dozens of people will not say that all of them are dead, but I am afraid that there will not be many left-this is precisely the sinister intention of the person behind the scenes, waiting to force us to rebel and make a name for it. When the time comes, he can directly mobilize the forces of the top and crush us decisively.
It's just that these ordinary soldiers, how innocent?
Eventually, we agreed to let the Fat Bugs and the Little Demon Duoduo go first, captivating the warriors watching from the west, while we broke through from there. As for how to deal with Li Tengfei's Demon Exterminating Flying Sword, Zamao Xiaodao also has a way - just in the stilted building opposite the barn, there is a drying pole behind the thatched house, and a few pieces of black, wet cotton cloth are pulled on it, this is the master's daughter coming to menstruation.
People in the mountains do not have sanitary napkins, so they use absorbent cotton cloth to make similar items, and they can be washed and reused.
This black thing is what we usually call the blood of the lower palace, which is too filthy, and the magic weapon practiced by breaking the contemplation and mind, as long as it is stained with a little, the flying sword will have to strike for a few days.
In December 09, southern Sichuan was very cold, and the air was just damp, and the chill was frozen to the bones, numb and crispy, like ants crawling. We stayed up until the second half of the night, and except for a few sentries and patrolmen, everyone else was already sleeping peacefully in the rooms vacated by the villagers. The night was silent, and only a few places in the village were still lit.
I summoned Duoduo and Fat Bugs, and told the two little ones to rein in their voices and go to fascinate the dark whistle on the road to the west.
Our time is only a few minutes, after which the patrol will pass by and find an anomaly. Therefore, our escape must be swift and decisive, without delay.
We took a deep breath, and when the little demon got a signal of safety, we slid down like a tanuki from the barn's air window, and the miscellaneous trail flew like a fly, rushing towards the clothes pole behind the hut, while I looked around, and after making sure it was safe, I disappeared into the shadow of the house.
After traveling for so long, the two of us have some tacit understanding, once we act, our nerves are tense, like a bow off the string, rushing towards the west, walking like flying, quietly.
The little demon Duoduo and the fat bug fought in the first battle, and they had already stunned several secret sentinels, and we touched them all the way, but there were no accidents.
Because it is located in the deep mountains, there are actually some wild boar-like beasts in the reckless mountains, so the surrounding area of this village is also repaired with a fence, but it is old for a long time, the repair is not good, and it is already full of loopholes.
However, when he was about to reach the edge of the wall, the miscellaneous trail stopped and crouched.
I followed behind, and when I looked ahead, there was a yellowed paper figure, which was pasted to the hole in the wall, and was flying with the cold wind.
This is nothing, with the help of a slight light in the distance, I saw a pair of eyes on the head of the paper man, as if alive, looking around, looking around. Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao told me in a deep voice that this is the method of the outer gate of the Maoshan Sect, called the paper ghost lamp technique, which can be used to supervise the opponent, as soon as we appear, Mao Tongzhen, that guy, will be able to know immediately.
I couldn't help but be angry and asked if you have a way to be liberated?
Miscellaneous Xiaodao shook his head, saying that this is a trick of the outer gate, practical, but not a great way, I was expelled from the division very early, similar things, but I didn't learn much.
The two of us were frowning, and were trying to find another way out, when we suddenly felt that something was wrong behind us, and when we turned our heads, we saw that there was a faintly blooming ghost fire, suspended in mid-air, and there was a face inside, which was looking at us coldly.
