Chapter 1761 A Poor Family, a Rainy Day, a Man Digging a Grave, a Dead Person Being Worshipped, and a Cold and Lonely Man without a Wife
knock--
Knock knock——
At night, the old wooden door on the fence wall was knocked continuously, breaking the tranquility of the thick liquid.
The fences and courtyard walls, the thatched houses, the candlelight dancing calmly and the charcoal burning, but no one answered and came out to open the door.
No reflection of human figures could be seen through the window paper.
Everything was so peaceful.
It is like a thousand-year-old ancient pool in the deep mountains and old forests. No matter how windy or rainy the outside world is, or the leaves are swaying, it is always quiet. On the contrary, if you stare at it for a long time, it will give you a slight chill.
knock--
Knock knock——
Someone kept knocking on the door outside the old wooden door of the courtyard wall, but the inside of the house was always as calm as a thousand-year-old ancient pond, and then the knocker outside the courtyard door kept knocking.
As time passed by, the knock on the door never stopped. It not only knocked away the tranquility of the night, but also made people upset, as if there were mosquitoes buzzing in their ears.
Knock, knock, the knocking on the door continues. According to this attitude, Dayou keeps knocking on the door.
You could say that this person was polite, but he was very polite. He knew that he needed the owner's approval before he could open the door and enter.
If you want to say that this person is rude, it is indeed very unethical. There is no one who keeps knocking on the door. If no one comes out to open the door, it means that the host does not welcome you or there is something going on at home and it is inconvenient to receive outsiders.
After another stalemate for another tea, there was finally movement in the room. First, the candlelight flickered a few times. It seemed that someone was moving around in the room, causing the air to flow. A black shadow suddenly lay behind the window paper and faced the courtyard door outside the window. Look in the direction.
But the blame lies here. How can anyone look out through the closed doors and windows to see what's going on? With such a blocked view, what can be seen.
However, through the silhouette of the figure reflected on the window paper, outsiders could see that he was a stocky man of short stature.
At this time, the knocking on the door continued. The figure lying behind the window paper left after a while. Soon after, there was the sound of wood chips rubbing against the moving door latch of the house. Bang!
The door of the house was pushed open from the inside, and the door panel hit the earth wall with too much force, implying that the owner of the house was very angry and opened the door angrily.
A man was shrouded in the shadow of the night. Instead of lighting up a lantern, he quickly walked to the courtyard door with a hoe in hand. Just when he roughly opened the courtyard door and was about to wave the hoe angrily, he saw clearly that the person knocking on the door was a man. The ghostly headless Taoist priest stiffened suddenly, and the hoe in his hand was stuck in the air, and he didn't dare to knock it down for a while.
Is there anything more weird and evil in this world than being knocked on the door by a headless Taoist priest in the middle of the night?
No matter how much anger he had, it was extinguished in an instant, and he felt cold from head to toe. He felt a chill rising from his back, and the hairs stood on his head.
At this time, the headless Taoist priest bowed his hands to the man standing in the shadow of the door frame. The muscles on the man's face trembled a few times. He looked like he was frightened by the headless Taoist priest who came to the door in the middle of the night. His body remained frozen in place. There was no movement for a long while.
The patter--
Just at this moment, a drizzle fell from the sky. The drizzle was accompanied by a slanting wind. The wind and rain hit the two people under the courtyard gate. The cold rain wet their faces. The man woke up with a cold shock, and then dropped the headless man. Taoist priest, run into the house in the rain.
Looking at the hurried look, one could not tell whether it was because he was rushing to avoid the rain, or because he was guilty of digging up graves and stealing corpses, and thought that the headless Taoist priest was a ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night to demand his life.
The headless Taoist priest crossed the threshold, closed the courtyard door, bolted the door, and then followed the man's back toward the house.
From beginning to end, the two of them never exchanged a word.
The person knocking on the door in the middle of the night and knocking on the door in an endless cycle was naturally the headless Jin An from the Wu Zang Taoist Temple.
Headless Jin'an followed the man forward. On the way, he raised his neck and glanced at the six soul marks in the sky, and then looked at the man's back, feeling a little clear in his heart.
The owner of this house, from the time he left home until now, has not noticed the Yuan Shen mark suspended above the roof. It seems that he has not realized that his home has been targeted and marked.
Naturally, the soul mark can only be seen by the soul.
The other party's family is just ordinary people, or they have cultivated some skills and have some Taoism, but if the soul does not leave the body, they cannot see the mark of the soul.
Of course, other possibilities are not ruled out. This is not a normal world to begin with, and many places cannot be treated with common sense.
I just want to say that the first two conjectures are the most likely.
However, he was still most interested in the immortal corpse. He wanted to see with his own eyes what the immortal corpse looked like and if he had a chance to grab it.
Anyway, this family is capable of digging up graves and stealing corpses, and they are not kind people, so it is very reasonable for him to snatch corpses, without any moral pressure in his heart.
The man rushed into the house with a hoe in hand, bang!
He slammed the door.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!
Phew, he just breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, only to find that Headless Jin An had followed him in at some point and was standing behind him without moving.
In the eyes of outsiders, the headless Jin'an stood still. In fact, the headless Jin'an took stock of the layout of the house as soon as he entered the house.
There was an oil lamp and two candles burning in the room. Although it was not very bright, it was enough to see the environment in the room clearly, and the man's appearance could finally be seen clearly.
This is a farm man whose skin is dark and rough due to years of hard work and exposure to the sun and rain. He has a very stocky body and a pair of powerful arms.
However, this person's appearance is not good, his facial bones are too hard, his face is full of wrinkles, he has been working hard all his life, and he also has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. At first glance, he seems to be a bit scheming, but all he is doing is the clever tricks of Sesame Watermelon.
There was an eight-immortal table in the room, and an old Taoist priest was sitting beside the table. However, the old Taoist priest was covered in mud, and his robe was stained with blood. Even the jade Taoist crown on his head was half broken, and half of his hair was scattered like a ghost, hanging down to his waist.
The old Taoist priest sat with his back to them, and his front was not seen.
Tick-tock --
Tick-tock --
Black blood kept dripping from the old Taoist priest's body to the ground.
The two candles he saw before were standing on the table in front of the old Taoist priest. At the same time, there was a bowl of raw rice, with incense sticks stuck on the raw rice, and green smoke curling, and several fruit plates, which were all tributes for worshiping the dead.
Looking at the mud on the old Taoist priest's robe, there was no need to guess, it must be the corpse that was stolen, that is, the immortal corpse marked by the soul.
However, judging from the back, there was really no immortal spirit, only a miserable fall.
There are several rooms in the house. The door of one of the rooms is covered with yellow talismans to ward off evil spirits. There is also a secret compartment under the door, which looks like it is used to deliver food.
But his focus is still on the immortal corpse. Just when he wants to take a few steps forward to see the front of the immortal corpse, bang!
The sudden sound like a body hitting the door temporarily distracted his mind. He looked for the sound and found that it came from the room covered with yellow talismans.
A poor home, a rainy day, a man digging graves, a dead person being worshipped, a cold bed without a wife, a haunted room, an environment with a complex and strange smell... This is really a very dangerous place. The soul mark did not lie to him.
