Gou Zhou didn't answer me at all.
His skinny body suddenly jumped up and rushed towards me.
The rusty divination knife stabbed straight into my chest!
Ma Baozhong was shocked and shouted: "Sir!"
I didn't dodge, I just stood there.
There was a soft ding sound, and the Gouzhou knife stabbed my chest, but it didn't penetrate!
Instead, he groaned, his hand slipped, and his palm fell directly on his knife, pulling out a bloody gash.
He gasped in pain and stepped back.
The divination knife fell to the ground with a snap.
Ma Baozhong was frightened.
Gou Zhou said hoarsely: "Are you wearing a protective chain?"
Without changing my expression, I pulled it from my chest.
What I pulled out was a piece of Gu Jade.
A small white spot was left on the surface of Gu Jade.
I rubbed it twice with my thumb, and the white spots disappeared.
Gou Zhou was stunned, half of his face became extremely dull, and the anger on his face turned into confusion.
"Guyu...are you also a corpse hunter?" Gou Zhou's voice trembled.
I put the Gu Jade back in place, and then kicked the divination knife back to Gou Zhou's feet.
Pulling out the divination knife under the Tang suit, the light in the room was dim, with only one oil lamp.
But the divination knife in my hand reflected a bright white light, which was extremely sharp.
"You are no longer worthy of being a corpse hunter. The divination knife is rusty and you can't hold the handle tightly. You are also afraid of the water ghoul. Life is a torment."
Gou Zhou's eyes became even redder.
However, this time it was not the scarlet color, but another torturous emotion.
"What do you want me to do?" Gou Zhou's voice trembled, and his tone became hoarse.
I took a deep look at Gou Zhou and then said: "In the next few days, I will make some preparations. I will use some corpses and you to lure the water ghouls out."
"Those things hold a grudge. They must be unwilling to eat you. The corpse is not tempting enough, but you will be enough."
"Then I'll get rid of them."
Gou Zhou's body trembled, then he raised his head and looked at me.
He looked more at the clothes I was wearing, and his chest heaved and heaved.
"You are not a body hunter, you are a gentleman..."
"He is a corpse collector, and he is also a gentleman. My father and second uncle both make a living by collecting corpses." I shook my head and explained.
"How can I still be a gentleman after becoming a corpse collector?" Gou Zhou's eyes were filled with confusion again.
Then, he tremblingly picked up the divination knife and whispered: "I'll go with you. I'm willing to admit defeat. I'm not a coward. There are... too many and I can't get rid of them. I can only live in confusion." What else can be done?”
"My wife didn't run away. She originally planned to run away, but I heard that she was pulled into the water halfway. Those beasts made me lose my descendants!"
"If you could really carry them with the pot, strip me naked and hang them on the shore to lure them ashore, I wouldn't even frown at all!"
Blood overflowed from Gou Zhou's mouth. It was obvious that he had broken his teeth.
His words made me stunned for a moment.
After closing my eyes, I whispered: "It's almost time, I'll ask Ma Baozhong to come find you."
Turning around, I walked out.
When I got to the door, I paused for a moment and said: "For the sake of being a corpse collector, after helping me, I can make a divination for you. At your age, you have not yet reached the end of your life." .”
After that, I walked out the door.
Ma Baozhong quickly followed me. He huffed and took a few deep breaths.
After a while, we left the village.
I told Ma Baozhong to go directly back to their Yizhuang now and be prepared. When the time comes, I will find someone to notify him after I am fully prepared.
Ma Baozhong nodded, turned around and ran in the other direction.
I followed it back to the riverside where I had been, and the horse was still where it was.
After getting on the horse, I did not go back to Feng Village immediately, but headed towards the mountain of Changqing Taoist Temple.
It took me about half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain, then entered the path, and came to the Po Tao Temple.
There is still no one in the temple. Liu Zhengdao and Yang Qingshan still don’t know their whereabouts.
If I want to get rid of the water ghoul, I must have the help of the Liu family Taoist priest...
But it has been a few days, where have they been? !
I stood in the courtyard for a long time, raising my head and squinting at the sky.
I thought of another person.
Liu Huayan...
Before, I almost forgot about her because I only thought about Liu Tianniu.
When Liu Huayan left Tang Town, he must have arrived in Kaiyang long ago.
What about her? Also with Liu Tianniu?
The direction hexagram of the Liu family Taoist priests is the Zhen hexagram, but there are too many Taoist priests this time. I have been to the east in the past few days and noticed that there is no whereabouts of them.
If you want to find them more accurately, you need to actually calculate the starting and ending numbers.
I have Liu Huayan’s birth date.
With my thoughts at this point, I took down the long wooden box and took out the golden abacus.
After hesitating for a moment, I entered the main room and placed the golden abacus on the wooden table. I sat next to it and moved the beads.
But I just dialed one.
The bead seems to be welded to the bead, and the second bead cannot be hit...
My expression changed.
I can’t actually calculate Liu Huayan’s hexagram? !
I've never been in this situation.
Moreover, in the travel notes of Mr. Kanyu, the Prime Minister of the past dynasties, he has never mentioned that there are still hexagrams that cannot be played...
Big beads of sweat formed on my forehead, and I stared at the golden abacus for a long time.
The fog in the night sky dispersed, and the bright moonlight fell into the courtyard, and part of it reached the main room and shone on the table.
The golden abacus reflects a faint golden glow.
I took a deep breath, stabilized my mind, closed my eyes, and placed my fingers on the abacus beads again!
This time, I moved the beads extremely hard.
But there was a sharp pain in his fingers.
I groaned, feeling a cramp in my chest. I raised my hand and covered my heart tightly.
But the body fell tremblingly to the side!
My breathing was extremely heavy, and the cramping pain was even stronger...
Now I roughly understand...
This is backlash.
Liu Huayan's fate must have changed now.
Either she has become too strong in the past few years and is stronger than Liu Tianniu, or she has received a great opportunity and great fortune, and her destiny has become heavier than mine.
I can't count her life, so I will suffer backlash!
I tried my best to breathe steadily, and the cramping feeling became slightly weaker.
In his ears, he heard slight footsteps.
It seems like someone is approaching this broken Taoist temple.
I also heard an angry voice.
"It has been ten years since I, Zhang Jiugua, traveled around the world. I have never suffered such a big loss."
"Zhang Er, do you know that you had no milk back then, so I just said a few words and asked a woman to breastfeed you every day before raising you?"
"I'm about to save the money for three large yellow croakers. I can find a gentleman to take me."
"In the end, Li Yinyang... he actually robbed all the money I had on me!"
"It really makes me angry. He also exposed our brothers. Kaiyang can't survive anymore..."
The other voice sounded slightly timid.
"Brother... In the past two years, there has been famine everywhere, and we can't go out... Even if it doesn't work, haven't they not finished taking it? There is still a money bag left."
The next moment, I heard a crisp crackle.
"One? His wife took almost twenty money bags from me!"
There was a squeaking sound.
The courtyard door is open...
