When Uncle Huzi and I arrived at the door of the carpenter's house named Meng, it was already completely dark.
The place where this old man lives is very dilapidated. Part of the courtyard wall has collapsed and has not been repaired. The house is still an old house from decades ago, a desolate scene.
Uncle Huzi walked over and knocked on the dilapidated courtyard door.
I knocked several times, but no one responded.
"Will you be away from home?" Uncle Huzi asked doubtfully.
"There must be someone there." I glanced at the dilapidated house again and found that there was a gloomy air surrounding the house, so I definitely couldn't be in the wrong place.
Uncle Huzi didn't knock on the door anymore, just pushed the courtyard door open and walked in first.
When Uncle Huzi and I walked into the yard, we found that some areas in the yard were covered with weeds, which had probably not been taken care of for a long time.
As soon as he walked to the door of the house, there was a violent coughing sound in the house. It was the sound of an old man.
"Is there anyone at home?" Uncle Huzi called inside.
Not long after, there were footsteps. A stooped old man opened the door and glanced at Uncle Hu Zi and me, his eyes full of vigilance.
When Uncle Huzi and I saw this old man, we couldn't help but be stunned.
The old man was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he coughed several times. There was a strong smell of death hovering above his head, and he looked like he would not last long.
"Who are you looking for?" The old man finally stopped coughing and asked feebly.
"Junior Wu Jie, I have met Senior Meng, and I came here specially to visit him this time." I raised my hand towards Old Meng and said very politely.
"I don't know about the Five Tribulations and Six Tribulations. You can leave." The old man was very rude and closed the door directly.
However, Uncle Huzi was one step ahead of him and blocked the door with one hand: "Mr. Meng, we are already here, why don't we let us in to sit down?"
The old man glanced at Uncle Huzi with a fierce look, snorted coldly, turned around and entered the house.
Uncle Hu Zi was not polite, opened the door and walked in, and I followed closely.
As soon as he entered the room, the old man coughed violently, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
After a while, he spat out a mouthful of blood and then stopped.
"If you have anything to do, tell me." The old man's attitude was still cold.
Uncle Hu Zi found a maza from the house and placed it next to me. I sat down directly, looked at the old man, and said, "Old man, you are in very bad health. You are using the nightmare formation technique to harm people." Life will eventually come back to bite you, so why are you doing this?"
The old man raised his head and looked at me. The muscles on his face kept shaking: "I can't understand a word of what you said. Can you speak in human language?"
"Mr. Meng, I know you are a member of the Luban sect, and we are peers. Why don't we just open the skylight and speak openly, there is no need to be secretive, what do you think?" I stared at him and said.
The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suddenly smiled, and said in a different tone: "Old man, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to find me so quickly."
Since he said this, it was equivalent to admitting it.
"I have to thank the seniors for your kindness. I was spared half a move last night, otherwise I would have no chance to show up here today." I said with a smile.
"At such a young age, he has some real abilities."
"Compared to Mr. Meng, I'm still too young." I said.
The next moment, the old man suddenly stood up and took a few steps back. He looked completely different from the rotting wood before, and his figure was very flexible.
He retreated to the corner and lifted a piece of black cloth.
Then I saw two paper figures under the black cloth, the kind of paper figures in the wreath shop. They were a boy and a girl, with pale faces and bright red lips, which looked very strange.
The old man made a gesture with his hands and chanted a few words quickly.
Suddenly there was a dark wind in the room, the surrounding windows made banging noises, and the tables and chairs shook. The two paper figures suddenly came to life, and let out a burst of weird laughter, and looked at me and Hu. Uncle Zi moved over quickly.
Only then did I see clearly that the two paper figures actually held a knife in their hands.
But that knife is a real knife.
"Master, be careful!" As soon as Uncle Huzi saw this situation, he stepped in front of me and stopped me.
In the blink of an eye, the two paper figures rushed towards Uncle Hu Zi, raised their knives and slashed at him.
Uncle Huzi's kung fu was pretty good. He kept dodging the long knife in the hand of the paper man while he was dodging. The long knife fell on the chair and cut the table in half with just one move. I was stunned for a while. The child was shocked.
There are many strange runes painted on these two paper figures, which are obviously refined through secret methods.
I was amazed to see such ingenious means, and I am worthy of being a master of the Luban religion.
The two paper figures were very fierce, and the big blades in their hands kept slashing at Uncle Hu Zi. Uncle Hu Zi saw that he couldn't resist.
One of the paper figures bypassed Uncle Hu Zi and ran towards me.
When I saw this situation, I immediately stepped back. I had never encountered such a weird situation before.
The paper man moved very fast, and I had already retreated to the corner.
There is no way out.
"Young man, if you have the guts to come here, are you going to get out alive?" The old man stood not far away and said viciously.
As he spoke, the paper man raised the long knife in his hand and chopped it off on my head.
Over the years, I have learned a lot of boxing and kicking skills from my master. I quickly calmed down and ducked to the side to avoid the fierce knife of the paper man.
The knife struck the wall, directly cutting off a large piece of the wall.
Then, the paper man turned around and charged towards me again.
At this time, I already had a cloud and thunder talisman in my hand. I shook it gently in my hand and said in my mouth: "Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of all qi, thunder is coming!"
With that said, he threw the Yun Lei Talisman in his hand in the direction of the paper man.
The paper man was running towards me quickly with a knife in his hand, and the talisman fell on the paper man in one fell swoop.
With an explosion, the thunder talisman burned directly. When he looked at the paper man again, a blue flame suddenly burned on his body, and in just a moment, it turned into a ball of ashes.
This situation shocked the old man in the distance: "How dare you destroy my paper-armored man!"
Not only did I want to destroy him, but I also wanted to spare the other paper-armored man. I quickly rushed to Uncle Huzi and pulled him away. At the same time, another Yun Lei Talisman was thrown out and landed directly there. On the body of the man in paper armor.
