Chapter 44 The dog is haunted

Li Tianqing and the old man came to Chen Shi's house and met Grandpa Chen Shi and the big black dog. Li Tianqing caught a glimpse of the Hongyi cannon standing in the corner and the black iron pellets in the doghouse. His heart skipped a beat. He coughed and said, "Grandpa, let's not bother you anymore. Let's stay under the godmother's tree tonight." Brother, I'm Li Jindou in Quanzhou, I'm sorry to bother you."

Grandpa Chen Shi quickly returned the courtesy and said, "I'm Chen Yindu, a native of Qianyang Mountain. The house is not big, but there are two spare rooms, suitable for a stay, but I'm afraid I'm neglecting the two of you."

Li Jindou was happy when he saw that he was talking well, and said with a smile: "Don't dare."

Li Tianqing hurriedly tugged on his lapel. Li Jindou was puzzled. Li Tianqing pursed his lips towards the corner. Only then did Li Jindou see Hongyi Cannon and felt awe-struck.

  Li Tianqing quietly pointed to the main room again. Li Jindou looked and saw a mourning hall in the main room, candles and incense were lit on the altar table, and there was a tablet with famous taboos written on it.

   "What did this old brother just say his name was?"

  Li Jindou's heart suddenly struck, the name written on the tablet was clearly Chen Yindu!

 "It should be just a rural custom... No, Chen Yindu smells like corpse!"

 He felt awe-struck in his heart. This is the smell of the human body when it dies. It is very unique.

  This smell will never be forgotten once you smell it once!

"This man's body is dead, but he is still alive! He is not an evil spirit, he is just transforming into an evil spirit. What kind of secret technique is it?"

 His mind was running fast, searching the classics he had read and heard to see if there was any such secret technique, but he couldn't find it!

  "There is such a person hidden in a small village. Could it be that their grandsons also came for the tomb of the true king? Is Li Kefa's death related to him?"

 Li Jindou thought of this and smiled: "Brother Chen, we can't live in vain. This is a small thought, please accept it."

 He took out a small ingot of silver, about three taels worth.

   Chen Yindu looked at the silver in his palm, a smile appeared on his blue-white face, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, brother." After that, he accepted the silver.

The moment the palms of the two people touched, a wind started blowing from the ground, and suddenly the wind howled. The wind was so weird that it blew from bottom to top. There was no feeling in the courtyard of Chen's house, but there was a strong wind above Chen's house, blowing high into the sky!

 A cloud in the sky suddenly melts like ice and snow, dissipates in the wind, and ceases to exist.

 This strong wind came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, the wind stopped and calmness returned.

 The yard was peaceful and peaceful, with nothing unusual. Chen Shi and Li Tianqing only heard the strange wind howling in the air, but felt nothing else.

  The two looked up and saw nothing strange.

  Li Jindou's face changed slightly, and he laughed and said: "There are strange people hidden in the mountains and wilderness. My brother has a bold mind, which is admirable."

Just now, he made contact with Chen Yindu's palms. It seemed that he was just giving the other party money, but in fact he wanted to test the other party's ability, which caused a sudden storm.

 However, in this test, he failed to test the opponent's depth.

 His eyes flashed. He originally thought that Chen Yindu's hand must be cold to the bone, but unexpectedly it was warm, which aggravated his curiosity.

   "He has a heartbeat, and his energy and blood are flowing, like a corpse rather than a corpse. Weird, weird, what is the secret method that can refine an old and dead human body to this point?"

   I must find an opportunity to test it again! "

  It was almost noon, and Chen Yindu said: "Brother Li, there is nothing good in the countryside to entertain our distinguished guests. I have no sense of taste, so I don't dare to cook. I'll leave you to your convenience."

Li Jindou hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm busy, my grandfather and grandson have prepared their own preserved souls, so I can barely deal with it."

The moment he bowed, there was a thunderous sound in the yard, and there was a loud click. Li Jindou's body was shaken, and a brilliant light appeared behind him involuntarily, illuminating Huangpo Village in a snow-white light!

 In the divine light stood a Yuan Shen three to four feet tall, which disappeared in a flash.

 Li Jindou swayed slightly, finally stood firm, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm going out for a walk."

 Chen Yindu said: "Brother, please do it."

 Li Jindou walked outside the house and came to the ancient tree. He couldn't help it anymore, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he hurriedly took out the elixir and drank it quickly.

 After a while, he felt better.

It’s just that his face still doesn’t look good.

  He still failed to test the depth of this old man named Chen Yindu, but his own depth was tested.

  Chen Shi helped his grandfather and grandson clean up the west wing, and then brought Li Tianqing to visit his Hongyi cannon.

 Meeting people of the same age, if you can't show off your most proud baby, wouldn't it be like wearing a white dragon fish costume and walking at night in brocade clothes?

  Li Tianqing stroked the Red Yi Cannon and suddenly said: "I heard that Prince Xiao had stolen the Jade Seal of the Western King and was being hunted by the Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion used eighty-nine Red Yi Cannons and eight hundred and ninety soldiers. There was one governor, one military attaché, and many experts from the central army, Zuoye, and Youye. They bombarded Qianyang Mountain, but suffered heavy casualties. The gunpowder burning marks in the barrel of this cannon are still fresh. It must have been obtained from the battle scene, right?"

Chen Shi stood beside him and said with a smile: "Tianqing, you are very meticulous in your observations. When Xiao Wangsun and Jin Hongying were talking, I sat on the same table with them. After the battle, I rescued Xiao Wangsun and carried away the still intact Hongyi cannon."

Li Tianqing's heart skipped a beat, sitting on the same table as Xiao Wangsun?

 That must be Xiao Wangsun’s accomplice!

  Could it be that they, grandfather and grandson, have fallen into a den of thieves?

  Chen Shi picked up the Hongyi cannon, put it on his shoulder, and said excitedly: "I'll be the fort, you can put iron bullets in, light the fire at the back, and aim at the distant hills to fire!"

  Li Tianqing was startled and quickly refused.

He lives in the city, and the children around him are all well behaved like him, and everyone abides by aristocratic etiquette. Where have you ever played this?
The projectiles flew out. If you want to fire another shot, just take out the machine box and replace it with another machine box. It is more convenient."

 Chen Shi's eyes were bright: "Where can I get it?"

 Li Tianqing shook his head and said: "This is the latest creation of the Shenji Battalion, it cannot be obtained easily. It is extremely dangerous for you to use yourself as a turret."

 “How should we play?” Chen Shi humbly asked for advice.

  Li Tianqing hesitated and said: "Perhaps we can let two yellow scarf warriors carry the red barbarian cannon, which will save the artillery carriage. But I can't draw symbols..."

  "I can!"

 Chen Shi said excitedly, then hesitated, "I can't make black powder..."

 Li Tianqing said: "I can."

 At this point, he regretted a little, he shouldn't have said that. Looking at Chen Shi's expression, he knew that something would happen if he said these words.

 Sure enough, Chen Shi gave him the task of black powder, and he hid in the corner with the big dog. The dog was so sneaky that he didn't know what to talk about, and then the big dog reluctantly let him stab him.

 Chen Shi took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, mixed with cinnabar and dog blood, activated the Three Lights Righteousness Technique, and drew the Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman in one stroke. He quickly drew dozens of Yellow Turban Hercules Talismans with great skill. The shrine behind his head was still there, and his energy was not exhausted.

  "What a powerful infuriating energy!" Li Tianqing secretly praised.

  Old Chen's family had ready-made materials, and Li Tianqing also prepared black gunpowder. Chen Shi carried the red cannon, and Li Tianqing held a few black iron projectiles the size of his head. The two teenagers sneaked out, and the black pot dog followed behind.

  "You two little guys, don't run out!"

 Li Jindou's voice came, calling them, and said with a smile, "I just discussed with Brother Chen and told Xiao Chengshi to know where the kiln is. Let Xiao Cheng take us there. Don't carry the Hongyi cannon out, be careful of being seen. Come back from the kiln, you can do it again."

Chen Shi was extremely disappointed and put the Hongyi cannon back unhappy.

  Li Tianqing was also very disappointed. He put the black iron bullet back into the doghouse and suddenly became alarmed: "What's wrong with me? I came to investigate the disappearance of the seventh uncle. I found that this family was acting suspiciously. They were probably gangsters with Xiao Wangsun. Why did he play cannon with Chen Shi in a daze?"

He secretly reminded himself that he must not be fooled.

  Chen Shi packed up and went out with the book basket on his back. Li Jindou called out: "Tianqing, hurry up and follow!"

Li Tianqing quickly gathered her mood and quickly followed Chen Shi.

 Although he is young and mature, he is still a child after all. He quickly puts aside his vigilance just now and talks and laughs with Chen Shi. Hearing Chen Shi talk about interesting things in the countryside, he can't help laughing and longing for it.

  They entered the mountain forest and saw dense forests, with white mist floating in the forest. The mist was strange. It only floated at the height of a person's chest. It was deeper and shallower. There was no mist below the chest, and there was no mist above the chest.

  They were walking in the mist, and there was no noise of birds and insects around them. It became extremely quiet, and they could hear their own heartbeat and breathing.

 Li Tianqing actually felt that this mountain forest had a sacred feeling, solemn and solemn.

 Occasionally, you can hear a strange sound, low and long, like a mountain whispering.

  Chen Shi slowed down and came to a huge ancient vine. A tattered red cloth strip was tied to the ancient vine, and it broke at the touch of a touch.

  Chen Shi put down the book box, tore off the red cloth strip, took out a new red cloth strip from the book box and tied it on. He also took out a stick of incense, lit it and inserted it in front of the ancient vine root.

 Li Tianqing noticed that someone had built a circle with stones in front of the roots of the ancient vine, and there were traces of incense in the circle.

 Li Jindou whispered: "Tianqing, Sky Eye Talisman."

 Li Tianqing quickly took out the Sky Eye Talisman and activated the talisman. At this time, another world belonging to the mountains came into view.

There was actually a little girl in red sitting on the ancient vine, nodding slowly to Chen Shi and receiving his incense.

  The scent of incense floated upwards and was absorbed by the little girl in red, turning into extraordinary power and condensing into a phase.

 The appearance of the little girl in red is not very clear yet, and she looks like she is about to be blown away by the mountain wind.

  After Chen Shi finished doing this, he took them further into the mountains and forests.

 After walking not far, he stopped in front of a stone statue lying on its side among the rocks and soil. The stone statue was huge, and the part exposed above the ground was as tall as a person.

  There is also a circle made of stones in front of the stone statue, and a red cloth strip is tied to one finger of the stone statue.

  Chen Shi put on a red cloth strip and offered incense to the stone statue.

Li Tianqing noticed that the extraordinary power of the stone statue actually formed a shape. It was a chubby doll, sitting on the head of the stone statue with a smile, receiving his incense.

  They followed Chen Shi into the mountains and forests, but saw that in this ancient deep mountain, the majestic ancient trees, jagged rocks, and ancient ruins all had the appearance of being condensed with extraordinary power.

 Chen Shi put incense for them, changed them into red cloth strips, and walked all the way. The mountains and forests were quiet and there were no intruders from any strange beasts, which was quite strange.

  "Xiao Shi, what are you doing?" Li Tianqing couldn't help being curious and asked.

  "These are the paths that the villagers of our village use to enter the mountains."

Chen Shi straightened up and said, "There are also some passers-by who often walk this road. They carry mountain goods to sell in and out of town. Tie red ropes to the stone statues on these trees so that they will not get lost."

Li Tianqing suddenly understood and asked again: "What about the incense?"

"Singing incense is for these mountain spirits, which is a sign of filial piety."

 Chen Shidao, "When the mountain spirits accept the incense, they will protect the people walking on this mountain road. Wild animals will not invade and bandits will not harm them. If you don't pay attention to the time and it gets dark, you can also hide in a place with red cloth. The mountain spirits will protect passers-by from evil spirits."

  "Is it useful? Their appearance is so weak." Li Tianqing was puzzled.

    Useful.

 Chen Shi looked at the spirits on the mountain road with a peaceful face and his eyes were full of love for this mountain. "Once I was playful and played in the mountains for too long and forgot about time. I didn't pay attention until dark and hurried home. Someone was targeting me, so I hid in that tree. Next. The tree spirit protected me and fought against the evil spirit. I was torn apart by the evil spirit. "
