Zishi, also known as midnight and middle night, is the first hour among the twelve hours.
It’s midnight at midnight, the zodiac sign is rat!
At this time, nocturnal snakes, rats, and insects are most active during midnight! Of course, those evil demons and ghosts who are yin in nature and are afraid of the sun also like to run out, wander, cry or harm people's lives at this time?
"Head! Wake up!"
"Li Tou, Li Tou? Wake up quickly!!"
In the Buddhist side hall of Lanruo Temple, which is still intact and has been occupied by the policemen as a resting place, there is a small bonfire burning, and many policemen are huddled on the thatch beside the fire. In the relatively quiet hall where he was sleeping, there were sudden bursts of rushing sounds.
It turned out that this was an old policeman who was keeping watch at night. He was shaking their leader Li Gongfu anxiously and lowering his voice tremblingly. After pushing several times, he finally woke up. other side.
Although he also knew that everyone was very sleepy now, and their leader Li had only slept for less than an hour, but the situation was special and he had to wake him up in advance.
"Uh...huh??"
Li Gongfu let out bursts of tired lamentations in his throat, and then slowly opened his somewhat swollen eyes.
"It is you……"
"Is it time to be ugly? Oh... I guess it's my turn to keep vigil now, right?"
Although he still felt very sleepy, his head was swollen, it was difficult to open his eyes, and he didn't seem to be able to sleep for long... However, since his men pushed him awake, Li Gongfu could only reach out and wipe it randomly. Looking at his confused face, he planned to force himself out and prepare to go to the night watch for his shift.
When going out, especially in this not-so-safe Lanruo Temple, no one has any privileges. They all need to be vigilant and take turns to watch the night, including Li Gongfu, and he himself is no exception!
Otherwise, if someone makes an oversight, it may be uncertain whether everyone will be able to go home for the New Year alive.
"No!"
"It's not the time to be ugly now. I estimate that it will only be three hours after the child's hour at most?!"
When Li Gongfu was dazedly wiping his face, trying to find his sword and find the bucket to wash his face with cold water to refresh himself, the old policeman quickly grabbed him.
There were more important things now, and he didn't want their leader to make too much noise, lest he disturb something.
"..."
"Third hour?"
Li Gongfu, who was a little sleepy, didn't understand. If it was three o'clock in the morning, it seemed that he could sleep for another hour, right? No wonder, no wonder he feels so sleepy now. It turns out that he didn't get enough sleep and was woken up by these bastards?
"Li Tou!"
“Go over there and take a look, there’s a situation outside!!”
The old police officer pointed to the door of the side hall. There were already several police officers responsible for keeping watch over there, looking out from the crack in the door.
Look at their anxious looks, and if Li Gongfu hadn't told them before that if no one could open the door and go out tonight, they might have been unable to bear it and ran out!
"..."
"Is there... something going on outside?!"
After finally understanding what the other party said, Li Gongfu felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to neglect anymore. He quickly picked up the simple knife he had put aside, stood up from the thatch pile and walked quickly towards the door of the main hall. The previous sleepiness was instantly dispelled.
"head!"
"We just discovered that there seemed to be a group of women dancing outside. We don't know where they came from... The brothers originally planned to go out to watch the excitement, but I stopped them."
The old detective continued to explain briefly to Capt. Li, who looked a little unhappy, and this was also the reason why he took the initiative to wake him up.
Maybe it's because he's getting old and doesn't have the energy of a young man, or maybe he's always remembering Li Gongfu's previous instructions. Anyway, those women of unknown origin outside have not been able to successfully seduce this old catcher who is half the principal. Quickly, he also stopped the young people who planned to go out and watch.
"..."
Li Gongfu, who had a stern look on his face, didn't ask any more questions. He just walked quickly to the door and looked out through the tattered and rotten window paper on the doors and windows. He squinted and looked out:
It turned out that at this moment, there was a group of beautiful women with long sleeves and bare shoulders and legs dancing outside the door?
Although those young ladies looked as beautiful as gods, and almost dazzled Li Gongfu, but... he quickly came to his senses, and vaguely noticed something was wrong and old. Detective, wake up to your roots!
"..."
"In this dilapidated temple with high mountains and dangerous roads, or in the middle of the night when the cold is the strongest, how can a young lady dare to dance in such a place wearing so little?"
"Hmph! It must be those ghosts and monsters causing trouble again!"
After just two glances, Li Gongfu directly concluded: Those young ladies outside must have come from bad ways, and even a fool can see that there is something wrong with them!
"Brothers, those outside are probably ghosts! Come on, stay away from the door. Let's sit by the fire and let them continue jumping. They won't freeze to death!!"
In the middle of winter, even though this is the south and it doesn't snow very much, they dare to come to such a wilderness to dance in such a deserted area wearing so little clothing. Who would believe them if they were normal people? !
I'm afraid only those guys who are obsessed with sex will fall for such a little trick, right? !
"Li Tou, we would have noticed this a long time ago, otherwise everyone would have rushed out before you woke up!"
"You're right! I also think those little ladies outside are incredibly beautiful. How can there be so many beautiful little ladies in this wilderness?"
"..."
"Maybe she is a fairy?"
"Come on, brothers, that is definitely not the Seven Fairies, and we are not Dong Yong!"
"Hey! I heard that Dong Yong secretly hid the fairy's clothes and deceived the other party into losing her magic power, so the overlord forced himself to marry the fairy?"
"??"
"real or fake?"
"..."
"Shut up! You are so capable and you still dare to make up fairy tales. Don't let the gods in the sky listen to you!!"
"Let's go! It's just a group of female ghosts dancing on the left and right, so what's there to see? Look carefully, you've been seduced and your lives have been lost in vain!"
Seeing that these detectives were talking more and more nonsense, Li Gongfu quickly shouted to stop them, and then waved his hands to drive them away, telling them to stay away from the door and away from the ghosts outside, so as not to accidentally cause an accident?
Benedict! Benedict!
"Well?!"
Clang! !
"who?!!"
Just when he lowered his voice and drove away his noisy men and took a few steps away from the door, Li Gongfu and others heard two crisp knocks on the door from behind. He was so frightened that he pulled out his waistband. Pu Dao turned around and shouted in the direction of the door vigilantly.
In fact, anyone can see that through the dilapidated doors and windows, the person knocking on the door at this time is the figure of a beautiful young lady wearing a green gauze, which is the figure of the group of women who are dancing to seduce them. , or... one of the female ghosts?
"My lords..."
"We sisters and others passed by here and danced a song on a whim. It is a lonely night and there is no way to enjoy it. Dear officials, why don't you come out and take a look and comment on it for the sisters?"
The woman's faint voice came from outside the door, which made people feel a wave of pity in their hearts, making the detectives ready to take action. Some of them almost couldn't help but want to open the door and greet the other party.
"No need!"
"I'm tired from traveling, and I have to go to Jinhua on business tomorrow. If you want to dance, please go farther away and don't disturb us!!"
Before anyone else could say anything, Li Gongfu cautiously refused the other party's invitation. In his opinion, this was just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster, and he definitely didn't have any good intentions!
These women of unknown origins, no matter whether they are monsters or monsters, as long as they ignore each other and wait until dawn... No matter what their intentions are, they just don't open the door or go out to watch. What can they do?
"..."
The young lady in Tsing Yi outside the door didn't speak anymore. She seemed to be thinking about the right words?
"Why……"
"It's late at night and it's cold outside... Dear officials, how about... you could do us a favor and let us go in and have a rest?"
After a while, the woman in green who had been standing outside the door seemed to have thought of another good idea, so she said tentatively again.
"There is a fire outside the door, and there are many side halls nearby. Find a place to light a fire and rest!"
How could Li Gongfu let in those guys with unknown origins and who were obviously uneasy and well-intentioned?
Therefore, he simply rejected the other party and pointed his knife at the ash fire with burning charcoal and burning ghost objects outside the door.
Now that the other party has come to test them several times, Li Gongfu has been basically sure: those little ladies outside must be here for them. As the saying goes, they are courteous for nothing, and they are either adulterers or thieves...those little ladies who don't know whether they are human or ghost. , must have malicious intentions!
"..."
"My lords, please let me in... The moon is high outside now, it is a beautiful time and the festival is approaching... If you are willing to accept the little girl, we are willing to practice Yanhao with you..."
After seeing that her previous seduction methods were ineffective after playing with them for a long time, and pretending to be pitiful did not win the sympathy of the other party, the woman in Tsing Yi simply had no choice but to stop doing it and directly used naked seduction methods. , and promised: As long as the other party lets him and others in, he can do that wonderful and beautiful thing with them?
To be honest, from the perspective of this woman in green, the men she met tonight were the most difficult to deal with in the past few years!
Normally, any of the poor scholars, merchants or knight-errant hunters who passed by by mistake would be knocked unconscious after they hooked their fingers, and then, while having a rough and tumble with them, they would be raped by themselves or their grandma. Attacked and drained the flesh and soul, turned into mummies who died in vain in Lanruo Temple, and turned into ghosts?
"roll!!"
"A bunch of female ghosts, do they really think that I, Mr. Li, am a fool? If I don't leave, I will make sure you wait and see!"
Waving the scimitar in his hand, Li Gongfu forced himself to be brave, fearing that the other party would get angry and rush in.
"..."
These days, where can such beautiful women come to your door for pleasure?
Look at the beauty of those young ladies outside. If you pick one out at random in a brothel and shipyard, you wouldn't even think about it if you don't have dozens of taels of silver in one night! But now, they are still sending them to his door, and they are targeting such helpless agents as him. If they have no other plans, then he will not believe anything they say!
Therefore, combined with the moving mummies that he and others encountered before, and the reminder that Yan Chixia gave him, Li Gongfu revealed the identity of the other party, waved the simple knife in his hand, pretended to be fierce, and attacked He warned the woman lingering outside the door who refused to leave.
"..."
"snort!!"
After seeing that the other party was really incompetent and seemed to know the true identity of herself and others, the woman in Tsing Yi finally stopped pestering her. She just snorted coldly, then waved her hand hatefully, turned around, and turned into A gust of breeze disappeared in an instant.
It's not like they haven't thought about using force. After all, the detectives inside can't defeat these female ghosts!
but……
Next to them is the same powerful old Taoist Yan Chixia, who seems to be a powerful swordsman who can restrain lonely ghosts like them... Therefore, what should they do next? They still need to go back and report to the tree demon grandma. Wait for the other party's decision.
"..."
"Ouch! My mother, is she really a female ghost?!"
"Head...head! Look, she, they are all gone, not one of them is gone!!"
When the other party turned around, a policeman who was not afraid of death trotted to the window unbearably itchy. After taking a glance outside, he was so frightened that he ran back to Li Gongfu and others at an even faster speed.
"She is really a female ghost..."
"That's all! Let the brothers get up and keep their weapons away from their hands. We have to wait until the sun rises at least 10 o'clock, and then leave this ghost place of Lanruo Temple as soon as possible!!"
Li Gongfu also cautiously approached the broken door and window. After bending his waist and glancing out as quickly as possible, his face also looked a little uncomfortable.
So many people, at least ten or twenty young ladies, disappeared in the blink of an eye...
What is that if it's not a monster?
Fortunately, he had always adhered to his true intentions and had basic vigilance, and was not tempted by the other party. Otherwise, they might really be in trouble now.
"By the way, who carries the incense?"
"Hurry, take it out and give two sticks of incense to calm the Buddha down. Maybe he can bless us later?!"
Although I don't usually burn incense, it's not good to do it temporarily, and I may be blamed by the gods and Buddhas... But now, at this critical moment, those ghosts and monsters have already come to the door. Who knows whether they will come again? Therefore, they can't care so much.
Maybe, seeing that they were 'pious' enough, the Buddha might have used some of his magical powers at the critical moment to help them get through tonight's difficulties?
As long as they can survive the night and get out of the ghost-infested Lanruo Temple, when they return to Qiantang from Jinhua, there is no way they will take this road!
"..."
"Head, is this useful?"
At this time, a police officer actually took out a handful of incense and asked after looking at the Buddha statue, which had already peeled off the gold paint, the entire sculpture had become tattered, and was surrounded by cobwebs.
He thinks it's not impossible to improvise...
However, he always felt that it was a little unreliable to hold the feet of the Buddha statue in front of him, which could not protect itself!
"Don't ask me!"
"But it doesn't matter whether it's useful or not, let's light the incense first, all of them. Each of us will light a stick of incense to the Buddha and ask him to be kind and let us survive the night!!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Gongfu signaled his brothers and subordinates to take action quickly and add new incense to the Buddhist altar incense burner that had not had incense for many years.
At the beginning, although the Ku God they worshiped in the county government warehouse received their incense in vain, it did not play any role... But at least, the other party also had a little effect? So, now they have no other good solution besides praying to the Buddha statue in this side hall.
"Buddha bless……"
"Buddha bless you!"
"..."
Soon, a group of policemen, including those who had been pushed awake, each held a few sticks of incense and respectfully knelt down in front of the dilapidated Buddha statue in the side hall.
"laugh……"
"Humph! I only know how to make incense now. It's too late. What a bunch of idiots!!"
Not far away, Yan Chixia, who had been paying close attention to the detectives in front of the second floor window of her guest room, when he saw the actions of those guys, he shook his head in confusion.
well……
They guys didn't even think about it. If the Buddha statue here was effective, how could the original monks of Lanruo Temple abandon such a big temple and flee for their lives? !
In Yan Chixia's view, those monks who only care about money and have been blinded by the money for sesame oil and other benefits have already polluted this great temple with their filthy air when they only care about making money and not practicing Zen. Now, where are the gods and Buddhas who will visit this place again? !

"snort!"
"No more fun!!"
o(??^｀)oHmph!
After playing with the Paulownia harp left by Miss Xiaoqian for a long time, finally realizing that she really didn’t seem to have any musical talent, Little Annie had no choice but to push the table angrily and let the lyre sit on it. Away from myself.
Obviously the tunes she plays are all correct, but why does it sound different at all?
Sure enough, without using magic to cheat, she would definitely not be able to play any instrument well, even the long xylophone with seven free strings like this!
"Tibbers, come on, let's go home and sleep!"
(*｀0′*)??
Counting the time, little Annie felt like she had been out for a long time?
Starting from lunch during the day until now in the middle of the night, I guess Aunt Li will be worried about herself, right? So, after standing up and dusting herself off, little Annie grabbed her little bear and decided to go back to bed early!
Although, it is already three o'clock in the morning, which is not too early...
(…)
(Little master, have you forgotten something?)
('??`;)
(Aren’t you here to rescue that Li Gongfu this time? If you leave like this now, he may be dead!!)
╮（╯??╰）╭
"Huh?!"
!!!∑(??Д??ノ)ノ
"Yes..."
"It seems... it seems... maybe we are really here to help that useless Uncle Li..."
(⊙﹏⊙)
Just now, she was only focused on listening to the hot young lady singing songs and playing. Little Annie almost forgot the serious business of coming here today!
But...
Uncle Li and the others seem to be fine now. Maybe they don't need her help? Maybe, she can really go back and take a nap first, and then wait until something happens here, and then run over again?
(Report to the little master! There is something going on!)
(???????????)
(Tibbers, who has a self-propelled radar in bear form, dutifully reminded his little master again! Because he found that the trees and banshee spirits seemed to be preparing to attack Li Gongfu and his gang?)
"Huh?"
"Okay, then that's it for today..."
┐(????｀)┌
"Let's go over and take a look at the situation. If possible, help us? Then, we can go back to bed early!!"
(??????`??)
Go to bed early and get up early...
No, you should sleep until you wake up naturally to be healthy!
Now in the middle of the night, Queen Anne has to travel thousands of miles to come here to prepare to save the world. It is really too hard! So, she decided to go back and have a good sleep after taking care of those dryads and undead!
If the sun doesn't hit her butt tomorrow, she will definitely not get up. No one can persuade her! !
(??????)??
(Reporting to the little master, the little one found an acquaintance... familiar demon?)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"??"
"What kind of acquaintance is there? Tibbers, what are you talking about?!"
(ー`??ー)
(...)
(Nothing, you will know later...)
(???????????)
(Tibbers doesn’t want to comment too much on a bad little master who likes to be lazy and never takes the initiative to perceive the surrounding situation.)
"..."
∑(??△｀)? !
"Tibbers..."
"I found that you have become bad recently!!"
(????ˇ??ˇ????)
(How can there be...)
(????????)
"I said yes, yes!!"
(??｀△??)??
Crack!
Rumble...
'Heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe is borrowed from the law! ! ! '
Just when little Annie was about to break up with her little bear, suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky in the distance, and then a frightening thunder exploded... And the lightning struck no one knows where. ...
Immediately afterwards, a rough voice reached Little Annie's small pavilion by the lake from a distance, and then the sound of some fighting came faintly.
"Oh..."
"It seems like there's a fight!"
??(????????ω???????)??
Little Annie, who was only playing with her little bear, felt that she seemed to have missed something. She quickly grabbed her little bear, and then directly cast a teleportation spell, and disappeared in an instant.
Because Lady Queen Anne finally remembered that the location where the noise came from seemed to be the temporary residence of the group of people Uncle Li was wondering?

wish:
??Happy New Year??
??Auspicious Year of the Pig??
