Chapter 43: Exorcism

The first half of the dozens of miles of mountain road is easy, but the second half is difficult.

Including ox carts and horse-drawn carriages, it would normally take three days to travel.

It was calm along the way.

Nothing happened until the next night.

During this period, no bandits even came to rob the Jindao Village in Huanglong Mountain.

Since there was no inn nearby, the team slept in the wild. The escorts skillfully set up tents for the patrons and asked them to rest early. When the sky got slightly brighter, they set off for the county seat.

She Wu sat on a raised rock, chewed hard dry food, and swallowed it with difficulty while drinking water.

Snapped!

Snapped!

While he was eating, he would raise his hand to swat mosquitoes from time to time.

Even though it's autumn, there are still a lot of mosquitoes in the wild.

Although the escorts have sprinkled mosquito repellent powder, there are still powerful mosquitoes that I am not afraid of.

"We can finally get to the county seat tomorrow."

Snapped! After killing another annoying mosquito, She Wu sighed. The deserted mountains always make people feel sad.

At this time, She Wu looked at Zhou Qing, who was sitting aside with his eyes closed to relax.

Zhou Qing was sitting on a tree trunk, and the mosquitoes nearby moved around one meter away from him, as if there was some area around him that must not be touched.

"Brother Aqing, why don't mosquitoes dare to bite you?!" She Wu was surprised. As he spoke, he drove away another mosquito that was buzzing in his ear.

Zhou Qing opened his eyes after hearing this.

The young woman next to her who was driving mosquitoes away from her children also looked over with curiosity.

"Maybe your blood is more attractive, and I practice poison skills, so maybe these mosquitoes are afraid of me." Zhou Qing smiled faintly.

"Is that so?" She Wu nodded.

Hearing this, the young woman on the side subconsciously moved her position a little further away from Zhou Qing. She didn't expect such a handsome young man to practice evil kung fu.

After eating, it was completely dark.

Today, the dark clouds cover the moon, the stars are dim, the mountain wind blows by, and the grass and trees sway, making a "swishing" sound like a wave.

"Brother Aqing, I'm going to sleep in the tent first." She Wu tightened his tight clothes and suddenly felt a little cold.

Seeing that Zhou Qing ignored him, She Wu turned around and looked.

But Zhou Qing suddenly stood up and stared at the southeast.

"Brother Aqing, what's wrong? Did you see anything?"

She Wu looked nervously to the southeast. There was only blurry vegetation in front of him. As for the distance, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.

At the same time, Lu Yan and Han Qingqing were sitting at the door of the two tents, talking quietly. They heard She Wu's voice and glanced casually.

Ring ring ring.

The next moment, the ornament-like bell hanging on Han Qingqing's waist rang.

Lu Yan's expression changed slightly.

The two stood up together and looked to the southeast.

After looking at each other, the two looked at Zhou Qing in surprise.

"It's nothing, I just sat for a long time and my feet are numb." Zhou Qing limped and moved his right leg, grinning.

"It scared me. I thought some strange beasts and spirits appeared." She Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

When Han Qingqing heard this, she shook her head and laughed.

Lu Yan's face was full of suspicion.

The two lowered their heads and whispered.

Afterwards, Lu Yan walked to the outside of the team and whispered a few words to Li Biaotou, who was watching the night.

Li Biaotou also stood up suddenly, with a gloomy expression on his face.

This time, everyone around him was shocked.

At this time, Captain Li called over Captain Sun, who was resting in the tent, and explained the situation in a low voice.

The escorts woke up all the patrons who had entered the tent to rest.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

The good sleeper looked confused and looked around sleepily.

At this time, Captain Li asked everyone to gather together and lowered his voice: "Everyone, please stay in this position and don't move for a while. Remember!"

"Remember! If you hear a voice calling you, don't answer it!"

At this time, Lu Yan on the side added.

Then, he and Han Qingqing stood up and stood on the left and right of the team in the east-west direction.

The two people retracted their hands into their sleeves at the same time. When they reached out again, a pale golden talisman appeared in the palms of their hands, and the talisman paper was filled with red symbols.

"what happened?"

"Is there something dirty?!"

"Haunted?"

"Silence! Don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone was talking a lot, and finally fell silent under the scolding of Li Biaotou.

"Dingling~"

"Ding bell~~"

"Dingle bell~~!"

After a while, the sound of ringing bells sounded in everyone's ears. The sound became louder and louder in their ears from far away.

At this time, Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly as he was sitting facing the southeast.

A bright yellow ball of light floated from a distance.

When they got closer, the light group turned out to be a lantern. The person holding the lantern was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat. His face could not be seen clearly. From his body shape, he could only tell that he was a man.

From a distance, only the firelight from the lantern can be seen.

A man followed, also wearing a black robe, holding paper money in one hand and a rattle in the other. After walking a few steps, he dropped the paper money and shook the rattle.

The third person after that was a little weird. He was also wearing a black robe, but he kept his hands raised in a virtual motion.

If Zhou Qing hadn't acquired the powerful eyesight of an eagle, it would have been difficult to see clearly the two blackened bamboo poles he was holding.

Behind the bamboo pole, there is also a man in Taoist robes holding the end.

In the middle of the two people, there were four people wearing white clothes and hats, with yellow talismans on their foreheads, and their hands tied to bamboo poles at both ends.

This scene looks as weird as possible.

"Crush the corpse?!"

Zhou Qing immediately remembered the legend of exorcism in Xiangxi from his previous life.

The two men in Taoist robes were shaking the bamboo poles up and down, and then they saw the four men in white jumping up like zombies in a movie.

From the looks of them, it seemed easy to lift four people at once.

A gust of mountain wind blew by.

Zhou Qing noticed that the talisman on the forehead of the man in white at the front was blown high by the wind, revealing his livid face with his eyes closed.

Sudden! The man's eyes suddenly opened, and his livid face became distorted.

Zhou Qing's hair stood on end.

"Puff!"

The green silk Gu in his body trembled all over.

"ah!"

At the same time, a young man in his early twenties next to Zhou Qing screamed and fell straight down, foaming at the mouth and twitching all over.

Seeing this, Lu Yan quickly stepped forward and put the talisman paper in his hand between the young man's eyebrows, silently reciting the incantation.

"Snapped!"

At this time, a clear whip sound came from the forest.

I saw a middle-aged Taoist wearing a black robe embroidered with gold walking out from the back of the team. He was waving the whip in his hand and throwing it at the side of the man in white, muttering in his mouth.

"When the fallen leaves return to their roots, they will be reborn in bliss. When the fallen leaves return to their roots, they will be reborn in bliss. When the fallen leaves return to their roots, they will be reborn in bliss."

Under the double blessing of the middle-aged Taoist's spell and whip, the man in white closed his eyes again.

Then, he came to the crowd and performed a Taoist ceremony.

"I'm a poor Taoist, Dan Chenzi. I don't know if there are any strangers here. I'm troubled by this."

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Lu Yan.

"Poverty Lu Yan, whose Taoist name is Yuncheng, comes from Fulong Temple in Qingcheng Mountain. I have met Taoist brother." Lu Yan stood up, neither humble nor arrogant.

"It turns out that he is a disciple of the Heavenly Master. He is disrespectful and disrespectful." Dan Chenzi said hurriedly.

"My master and disciple wanted to go to Heishan Town at the foot of Heifeng Mountain. Due to exhaustion, we took a shortcut. Please forgive me for any offence."

"Brother Taoist, I'm serious. It's hard work to 'move spirits', so please set off early." Lu Yan bowed his hand.

"Farewell." Dan Chenzi was very decisive, waving his whip, and the team continued on their journey.

"Black Mountain Town" Zhou Qing stared at the departing figures of Dan Chenzi and others, his back getting wet.

"Brother, are they not?" Han Qingqing looked confused.

"Junior sister!" Lu Yan suddenly raised his voice and stopped her from talking.

At this time, Dan Chenzi, who had already walked away, suddenly turned around and nodded to the two of them.

By the time Dan Chenzi had gone far away, everyone was no longer sleepy. With unanimous consent, they decided to take advantage of the night to leave.

Along the way, the team was unusually quiet. Even the noisy children were silent now.

There was no words for the whole night, until the sky in the distance turned white.

The outline of the county seat appeared in everyone's sight.

The city wall alone, which is nearly five feet high, is extremely oppressive and cannot be compared to Black Mountain Town.
