Please calm down your anger

Chapter 50

West of Yong'an County, Liuping Village.

The festival fireworks have not yet dissipated, but the hearts of the villagers are cast in a shadow.

Outside a house in the village, several soldiers from the Zhenxie Army Mansion wore armor and held spears, prohibiting outsiders from approaching, while beside them stood Wang Xuan and the county government arrester Liu Cheng and his party.

Liu Cheng, the head catcher, said to a farmer: "Chen Hangzhu, don't panic, this is the captain of the military mansion, please tell me what happened."

"Yes, yes, my lord."

The man tremblingly glanced at the courtyard, and said cautiously:
"It just happened last night. My family and I watched the New Year's Eve and drank some rice wine given by my uncle's house, so I went to bed early."

"In the middle of the night, I seemed to hear someone talking. It was a woman's voice, talking non-stop about trivial matters at home. The villain thought it was my naughty wife, so he reprimanded me, but the other party made it even worse."

"I opened my eyes in a daze, only to see the candle light kept shaking, and then I took a closer look..."

Speaking of this, the man's eyes were full of fear: "That's not my wife at all, but a strange woman, wearing white filial piety, covering her head and face, when she saw me wake up, she suddenly appeared on the bed and grabbed her. my neck!"

"The little man fainted in front of his eyes. He thought it was a nightmare, but he didn't expect..."

As he spoke, he pulled off his collar.

Three inches below the throat, there is a small black and blue handprint!
The man continued with a mournful face: "After waking up, the whole family said that they dreamed of that woman, and there were handprints on their necks."

"The old wife cried and said that I killed someone, and he came back to take revenge, but I was honest and responsible, and I never did such a wicked thing..."

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, let's go down."

The head catcher Liu Cheng waved the man down, and then smiled wryly at Wang Xuan: "My lord, I didn't want to disturb you this New Year's Eve, but several people in the yamen have seen this matter, and none of them found any evil spirits."

"It's not a ghost, where does the Yin Qi come from?"

Next to him, Guo Luquan rolled his eyes, "It's just a ghostly spirit, I can't even see it, you... how about the earth temple in the village?"

Liu Cheng smiled awkwardly: "I broke my leg during the Chinese New Year cleaning, and I'm lying at home. That's a disciple of a folk witch religion. He was injured and couldn't do rituals. Daoist Li is in retreat again..."

"It's okay, it's the duty."

Wang Xuan interrupted Liu Cheng with a wave of his hand, and nodded slightly to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng suddenly yelled: "Two groups, go in!"

Whoa!
Six soldiers of the Zhenxie Mansion Army formed a group of three, held up their shields and spears, kicked open the wooden door, and rushed into the yard.

This is also the use of small three-talented army formations, which are dispersed in small groups and are most suitable for small spaces and dealing with people in the rivers and lakes.

Wang Xuan and the others didn't enter, obviously it was for military training.

The small courtyard of the farmhouse is not big, and there are three tile-roofed houses scattered in a concave shape. The soldiers of the Zhenxie Army quickly searched it all over, and shouted loudly: "Report to my lord, there is nothing unusual!"

Wang Xuan's face darkened, while Guo Luquan smiled beside him and said, "My lord, after all, the experience is still inexperienced, artifacts are good at restraining breath, it's normal that they can't find it."

"Everyone go back and memorize "The Picture of the Great Swallow Searching Mountains"!"

Wang Xuan let out a cold snort, and A Fu rushed into the courtyard beside him, barking at a broom hanging on the courtyard wall.

Bai Shiro, who was in charge of the team, blushed, "Array!"

Immediately, the two teams surrounded, and the six spears stabbed forward in unison.

Call ~
Suddenly, a cloudy wind blew up in the courtyard, and accompanied by the strange laughter of the "jogging" woman, the two teams were wrapped up, and the broom was spinning in the cloudy wind.

"The sky is overcast, kill!"

The soldiers shouted violently, their evil spirits joined together, and their spears stabbed out in unison.

Bang!
As if a balloon had been punctured, the wind stopped, and the broom was scattered on the ground.

After a few people came out, Zhang Heng reprimanded him, "It's just a broom spirit. Although it restrains its breath, there must be visions. Didn't you see that the snow does not fall, and the earth wall is free of dust? Do you have to use a magic talisman to find it? ? I will recite it carefully for Lao Tzu when I go back..."

Wang Xuan shook his head slightly, and said to Liu Cheng next to him: "Captain Liu, I told you to read a joke. From now on, any abnormalities in the villages and towns in Yong'an can be reported to the military government, which is just right for the soldiers to accumulate experience."

"No, Lord Wang." Liu Cheng clasped his fists quickly.

Guo Luquan stroked his beard and said, "This broom is probably old, and it has been contaminated with women's resentment. It has been absorbing moonlight in the courtyard all year round. That man, the broom doesn't belong to your family, does it?"

The farmer next to him was already stunned, and he nodded quickly when he heard the words, "Yes, I picked it up in a barren grave next to the field, and it seems to be usable..."

"Don't pick things up in the future!"

Liu Cheng's face darkened, and he whispered to his subordinates beside him, "Tell Master Yan to take a look, I guess there are dead souls whose resentment is still there."

This is the status quo of the human race. The wilderness and forests are dangerous. Even within the protection range of the City God's Earth Temple, evil spirits will be brought into them by accident. Although they are not fatal sometimes, they can make people feel uneasy.

……

Back in Yong'an City, Zhang Heng led the team back to the military mansion, while Wang Xuan came to the Town God's Temple alone.

In fact, a Taoist boy came this morning and said that Li Shouxin had left the customs.

Wang Xuan was a little strange, since he had left the customs, why did he evade the county government for help?
When you come to Chenghuang Temple, you will be led into the backyard by your own Taoist boy.

After meeting, Wang Xuan was taken aback for a moment, "Daozhang Li, who are you?"

Li Shouxin's appearance is very bad. He used to have a white beard and long eyebrows, and was quite immortal, but now his beard and hair are dry, and his face is gray and blue.

"The old way has failed."

Li Shouxin sighed and said: "My Taiyi sect has a lot of inheritance, and each person can only practice one. The old Taoist practice is "Jade Liquid Refining Shape" and "Jade Liquid Refining God". You can't even do it, let alone the gathering of three flowers."

"The old Taoist originally wanted to refer to the "Tai Yin Shape Refining Diagram", hoping to have an epiphany, but it hurt the root, and this life stopped here."

Wang Xuan was silent for a while, "It's also my fault, I didn't take a good look at five viscera treasures."

Li Shouxin shook his head and said, "The five-element panacea requires a lot of materials. Not only do you need to collect the panacea, but you also need to invite people to refine it. It takes a long time. Even if it can be refined, it doesn't matter if you live another 20 years. It's just a dead bone."

"The old Taoist invited you here to give you these."

After all, I took a wooden box from the bookcase, and when I opened it, it was full of talismans, "The old Taoist has sent someone to spread the news, and he will return to the main altar of the Taiyi Sect in Xuanzhou in a few days, and live in seclusion in the mountains from now on. Zhizhi, these things should be useful."

Seeing Wang Xuan's complexion was heavy, the old Taoist smiled, "When you came back from Fucheng, the old Taoist probably left long ago, and there will be no day of seeing each other again in this life, the rivers and lakes are far away, gathering and dispersing is normal, and the old Taoist can be regarded as leaving some for Yong'an. thing."

Wang Xuan solemnly clasped his fists: "Since that's the case, Taoist priest take care."

Li Shouxin nodded slightly, looked at the sky blankly, and said in a low voice, "Mo Naihe, there have been many storms in life, and he hurried back and forth, lamenting the barrenness of the Nine Heavens Fairy Court, regretting that Penglai has fallen countless flowers, and asking if there is a way of longevity in the world..."

After leaving the Town God's Temple, Wang Xuan held the box and turned his head again.

The temple is ancient and the incense is wafting.

At this moment, he suddenly understands why people say that duckweed has no roots at all, because some people will always come, some people will always leave, and everyone is wandering.

At this moment, suddenly a horse rushed into the city gate.

The horse is like running thunder, with four hooves breaking through the snow, the knight is wearing light armor, a cloak is hunting and flying, and a long feather is pinned to the back of the helmet, which is brightly colored, and goes straight to the north city.

"The Ministry of War ordered to ride fast!"

Wang Xuan frowned, his figure flickered for an instant, and the next moment he jumped onto the tile beams of the roof next to him, pointing his toes together, soaring and leaping like a big bird.

After he practiced Taiyin Xuansha, all the turbid energy in his body was refined, and his body skills became more sensitive, and he arrived one step faster than the rider.

If the Ministry of War rides fast, there must be a major military order, and those who stop the delay will be killed!

There has been no order from the Ministry of War in Yong'an Zhenxie Army Mansion for a hundred years.

In the end what happened?
Looking at the Kuaiqi that was getting closer, Wang Xuan had a vague expectation in his heart.

Sure enough, after ordering to get off his horse, he handed over a military order:
"This year's military report is ahead of schedule, and all lieutenants of the Zhenxie Army in Bingzhou must arrive before the tenth day of the first lunar month. Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"
