I replied in a low voice: "It is indeed not a good thing, and it is normal for there to be monsters and demons behind the temple..."
Paperman Xu frowned and asked me what I meant by this.
While paying attention to the direction and keeping a certain distance from the forest, I explained to the paper man Xu that there is a saying in Feng Shui that it is better to live in front of the temple than behind the temple. There is a reason for this.
There is plenty of Yang energy in front of the temple door, but at the back of the temple, the Yang energy has been absorbed by the gods and Buddhas in front and worshiped, leaving only Yin energy. Living people living in such a position will become sick and prone to disasters over time.
On the contrary, some demons and monsters like to live in the dark corners behind such gods and Buddhas. Not only are they filled with yin energy, but they can also eat incense from time to time and even listen to some scriptures.
After a pause, I said again, the river god in the river temple itself is not a kind person. If he eats too much incense, it is impossible for him to have any righteousness. The ghosts living behind the temple are also impossible. What kind of kindness, I'm afraid one is more evil than the other.
After I explained this, the paper man Xu didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Yin Yang, you can find a house for Uncle Xu later. Uncle Xu will also give it a try and see how beneficial this Feng Shui house ordered by Mr. Yin Yang is."
I nodded solemnly. The paper man promised to help me so much. Ordering a house is not a big deal for me. I will definitely do it.
During this period, Paperman Xu and I had already bypassed the willow forest.
As soon as I looked in, I saw a single house.
At this time, we were some distance behind the house wall. At first glance, the wall made of bluestone was much taller than the house walls of ordinary villagers.
The roof is also a bit strange, with twists and turns in the bulge and different heights.
This house doesn't look like an ordinary house, and the roof doesn't look like an ordinary roof either.
Approximately to the left of the single house, there are woods more than ten meters away. At first glance, at least there are no "people" seen here.
There was no one around the house except for the hanging river in front of it, which was flowing quietly.
"Lonely room..." My heart sank.
The paper man Xu suddenly made a silent movement, and his whole body became slouching.
I immediately dared not move rashly and became fully alert.
The next moment, the paper man Xu suddenly touched his shoulders sideways with both hands, and with a slight flick of his forearm, two paper men were thrown out of the basket behind him.
Under the cold night sky, two paper figures swayed forward, while the paper figures Xu and I hunched over and cautiously followed behind.
From the position on the right, we arrived at the wall of the single house.
Here you can clearly hear the flowing sound of the hanging river.
The entire river temple is about ten meters deep, and we are already very close to the gate in front.
The sound of running water covered up the sound of our footsteps, and also covered up the movement in the house.
Further forward, when we were almost approaching the side of the door, the paper man Xu stopped motionless, but the paper man in front quickly turned around under the control of the wire and went around the door.
I don't know what it looks like in front of the door.
After all, I think Paperman Xu’s move is very risky, and it’s too easy to be discovered...
However, we seem to have no better way, so we have sneaked in here. There are no back doors or windows around, so we can only enter through the front door.
Suddenly, "Bang, bang!" Two gunshots broke the quiet night sky!
The paper man Xu quickly pulled his palm, and the two paper men who had leaned into the temple door a moment ago were pulled back.
What makes me feel chilly is that these two paper-tied heads have been opened!
If it hadn't been for the paper man Xu who used paper to explore the way, I'm afraid it would have been me and his head that bloomed... We would have been discovered by Zhou Ju a long time ago? !
When I thought of this momentarily, the paper man Xu suddenly jumped out sideways and forward.
In an instant, he arrived at the side of the temple gate.
Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed out from the side of the temple door.
The man was tall and thin, with shiny dark skin, sinister eyes, and a fierceness about his whole person.
He was wearing a dirty old cloth, and he was holding a militia shotgun in his hand.
He raised his gun and aimed directly at the direction in which the paper man Xu was fleeing!
"Bang!" There was another gunshot, and fire burst out from the muzzle.
With a "pop" sound, the shot hit the paper man Xu...
Paperman Xu's body suddenly fell into the bushes and weeds.
My face changed drastically, and I shouted Uncle Xu in fear!
This time, my voice almost broke.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth. He suddenly turned back to stare at me and licked the corner of his mouth.
"I originally thought that if I can't afford to offend you, I can afford to hide. I didn't expect that you would all find yourself here."
With his words, I already concluded that he was Zhou Zi.
At this time, Zhou Zi's eyes were full of scarlet bloodshot eyes, veins popped out on his forehead, and his temples were beating.
Obviously, Zhou Zi did not rest as I expected. He actually insisted on leaving Miaojia Village...to avoid us...
Did Xu Xu, the paper man, and I just block the moment when he was about to leave?
I stared at Zhou Ju, but I didn't dare to move rashly, and I was thinking of countermeasures in my mind.
But he has a gun in his hand, and one shot can kill him...
Big beads of sweat rolled down my forehead, but the paper man Xu was motionless at the moment, and I didn’t know whether he was dead or alive...
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the place where the paper man Xu had fallen, and I couldn't help but be stunned!
Only then did I realize that although the fallen "person" was carrying a basket, it was not a paper figure...it was clearly a paper-stuck figure.
The paper man promised a trick to escape the golden cicada? It's just that when did he switch to paper and stab people and rush out, why didn't I notice? !
At this moment, Zhou Zi's gun was raised again. This time, it was aimed at my head.
There was a buzz in my head, and instantly, all the hairs on my body stood up.
The paper man might be able to cover up people's eyes and ears with paper, but I don't have that ability.
This shot will kill me...
"Kill me and you'll lose more than you gain." I suppressed my racing heart and said in a hoarse voice.
"The gain is not worth the loss? Haha, you all want my life, why can't I kill you?" Zhou Zi sneered and continued to say quietly: "I heard what you said, Lao Miaozi is dead, I will kill you. Why should I leave the village?"
"Your Feng Shui skills are even better than the old seedling. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to sleep or eat well."
"If you die, even if I don't stay in Miaojia Village, I can still get Miao Yu'er away. I don't want my junior sister to die, so I can only let my junior sister accompany me now."
As he spoke, a flash of greed flashed in Zhou Zi's eyes.
I suppressed the fear in my heart, narrowed my eyes and said, "My Feng Shui skills are great, don't you want me to?"
All I could think of at this moment was delaying time and waiting for an opportunity to escape.
