I squinted my eyes slightly and walked over.
Kneel down and take a look. Those things look like a small mourning hall? !
The scarecrows, tied with rags, knelt down toward the coffin.
At the front of the coffin is a scarecrow lying flat. The scarecrow's body is covered with blue-gray cloth and there is a bun on the top of its head. It is obviously different from other scarecrows...
Intuitively, is this a Taoist priest? !
My heart sank, and I was already sure that this scarecrow of a Taoist priest should be a sign of the Third Elder.
Moreover, there are several silver needles stuck in the scarecrow's legs. The black needles represent poison.
As for those kneeling scarecrows, they should be the townspeople...
Is this gentleman adding fuel to the flames and causing those townspeople to be tricked and haunted? Or even become a living corpse?
I put on the Gray Fairy Gloves, picked up the Taoist priest figure, opened it and looked at the back.
There is nothing on the back.
But when I picked up the other scarecrows and opened them, I saw that they all had notes on their backs, with birthdays written on them!
I put the scarecrow down and looked at the coffin in the center.
He pushed the fortune-telling knife forward, and the tip of the knife hit the coffin lid.
The top of the coffin, which was only the size of a palm, was lifted directly.
The inside of the coffin was momentarily exposed to sunlight.
A dark finger came into my sight.
The fingers were wet, the nails were dark, and the inside of the coffin was also wet.
Only then did I realize something was strange, because the surrounding ground was dry and cracked, and only the coffin and my fingers were wet, as if they were wet.
In addition, I also remembered one thing, that is, in the old forest, the closer to the drought, the wetter the ground became.
On the other hand, in Shi Nian Town, there is no water in the entire town, and the land is also cracking.
Is this another weird thing about Drought Demon? !
I carefully checked the Gray Fairy Gloves to make sure they were all right, then reached into the small coffin and took out the finger.
Maybe this is Drought Demon's finger? !
The existence of the mourning hall must be due to some formation that the gentleman had set up.
But I defeated his plan, and he didn't have time to pack these things away.
We haven't met yet, but I already have the upper hand!
In my thoughts, I took out a piece of oilcloth, carefully wrapped Hanba's fingers, and put them in my pocket.
Then he gathered all the scarecrows on the ground together, cleared the birthday numbers on their backs, and burned them all with a fire.
The straw man of the Taoist priest had no date of birth. It must have been a straw man that the gentleman made symbolically to show off himself after the third elder was tricked.
When I burned the scarecrow, I also burned the Taoist straw man.
After doing this, it was equivalent to destroying some of the arrangements made by the gentleman. I turned around in a hurry and headed back to the town.
I didn't go back to the yard directly, but went to the town entrance first.
My purpose of dispersing the fog was to find out where the gentleman was. Now that I have achieved my goal, I must take away the Golden Ruler as soon as possible!
We don’t know his whereabouts now. What if he didn’t go anywhere else but to the entrance of the town?
The Golden Ruler will fall into his hands!
Not long after, I returned to the town road and headed towards the town entrance as fast as flying.
In about two-quarters of an hour, I returned to the entrance of the town.
The Tongqiao Golden Ruler is still hanging under the archway.
I raised my divination knife and cut the rope with one stroke, and the gold ruler fell down.
I took it into my hand.
The original warmth of the town entrance has been reduced a lot.
The Golden Ruler is extremely cold and can be clearly detected even through the Gray Immortal Gloves.
I took off the rope, but didn't touch the evil charm on the ground.
Although there is no Tongqiao Golden Ruler to use as a counterweight, the mist has been broken. With these evil-suppressing talismans, it will not be so easy to condense them back...
The root cause is Hanba. If Hanba is to disperse the fog again, I am afraid it will also be affected to some extent.
Turning around, I headed back toward the yard.
This time comes and goes, time passes very quickly.
When I arrived in the yard, there was a burning cloud hanging in the sky, and it was already dusk.
Back inside, I opened the straw mat and got into the hole.
When I got to the basement, He Zhi, who was sleeping in his arms in the corner, was looking up at me.
Liu Zhengdao sat cross-legged next to the third elder's body, and he also looked at me.
He Zhi wanted to get up from the ground, but Dunkong didn't wake up, and she was afraid of waking Dunkong.
I raised my hand and made a pressing motion, and whispered: "If you don't get up, it's not dark yet."
"How was your trip?" Liu Zhengdao said in a deep voice.
I had already calmed down my thoughts on the way and talked about everything outside.
At the same time, I took out a small oilcloth bag. After opening it, Hanba's fingers were exposed.
While I was talking, Liu Zhengdao stood up.
At this time, he was staring at the Hanba fingers in my hand. When he raised his hand, there was a slender bronze sword in his palm.
My complexion changed slightly, I retracted my fingers together, and Hanba's fingers were wrapped in the oil cloth, and I took two steps back to avoid Liu Zhengdao.
"Taoist Master Liu, this finger is of great use to us. If He Pheasant makes some preparations, he might be able to hurt that drought demon!"
My expression was solemn and my tone was serious.
Liu Zhengdao's expression was gloomy and uncertain. He paused and did not speak.
Dunkong also woke up during this period, and He Zhi immediately put him down and stood up.
She also looked at me in shock and said cautiously: "Yin Yang, you mean..."
I nodded and said, "Huo Kunmin's second wife, Qi Si."
The incident I'm talking about happened almost seven or eight years ago.
He Zhi and I first cooperated to help Huo Kunmin solve the problem of his wife and son's unjust death.
His newly married wife, Qi Si, killed her first wife, but was killed by Kong Qing and thrown into the rushing water.
At that time, Huo Kunmin almost fell into the water and died. He Zhi and I cut off the arm of a corpse in the water, which was Qi Si's arm.
He Pheasant cast some spells on his arms, which came in handy when I dealt with Qi Si!
This is my purpose, I want to follow the same method to deal with the drought demon.
He Zhi frowned and walked slowly towards me. While taking the oilcloth bag, he whispered: "The Drought Demon is too fierce. I can only try it reluctantly, but it may not work."
"Just do your best." I said softly, and at the same time handed the Gray Fairy Gloves to He Zhi and motioned for her to put them on.
He Fei took the Gray Fairy gloves and put them on his hands, and gave me a reassuring look.
"Dad, I want to use the Dizhi Pen and Tiangan Inkstone to draw talismans. Aren't you going to have to deal with the very ferocious Drought Demon? The blood talisman is more useful." Dunkong also ran up to me and shook my arm vigorously.
I frowned and my eyes fell on Dunkong's face.
Generally speaking, Dunkong's complexion is still good, but if you look closely, you can see that he is still somewhat deficient in energy and blood.
This is because when dealing with the living green corpse ghost woman, Dun Kong also used the blood talisman...
Because he has two souls, his energy recovers faster than ordinary people.
But it's not that easy to restore Qi and blood.
Therefore, I shook my head and said: "Not this time, Dunkong, you can't keep consuming like this."
Dunkong pouted, his face full of grievance.
