Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 324, Tree Shadows Swaying

The night was deep and the wind was cold.

The yamen servants who kept watch at night walked around the yard twice, because they couldn't bear the cold, they lit a bonfire to keep warm.

The light of the bonfire is particularly conspicuous in the dark night.The flames at these points can be seen from a long distance away.

In a mountain forest not far from here, there are three people looking at the small shop.

A Taoist priest said: "If something happens, this is the most dangerous place. If they have been staying in the station, ordinary thieves would not dare to come forward. It is strange that the road is broken today."

There was a short man who started to work on the ground after a few glances.This is a middle-aged man, busy building an earthen stove.Hearing the Taoist's words, he responded: "Isn't the governor sending us here to guard against danger? Master, what do you think?"

A fat monk sat on a stone and began to meditate.The monk shook his head and said nothing.

The busy middle-aged man was bored and didn't care. He lowered his head and continued to work on his work.

After a while, he set up an earthen stove.The clay stove is very ingenious.No smoke, can suppress the fire under the firepit.Unlike ordinary bonfires, you can see them from a long distance.The fire in his stove can only be seen when you get close.

The middle-aged man took out his small iron pot and started to boil water.When the water boiled, he made three bowls of fried noodles.

Middle-aged people greet their companions for dinner.

"Two, let's make do with it."

The Taoist turned around and came back, and the three of them picked up small bowls and ate fried noodles in small bites.After the middle-aged man swallowed the fried noodles, he said to his two companions, "Tonight, we will take turns guarding."

The monk said: "The poor monk keeps watch in the first half of the night."

The middle-aged man, who was as short as a dwarf, said: "We can trust Master Ding'an's ability. The second class, stay here and guard."

The Taoist priest with two mouse beards said: "The poor Taoist will come to guard in the second half of the night."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then, let's take a nap first."

After finishing speaking, he took out a small roll of leather mattress from his bag and spread it on the ground.The man put a small drum under the leather mattress as a pillow, and lay on the mattress with his clothes on.

After a while, the middle-aged man's snoring sounded.The snoring was very rhythmic.

The Taoist couldn't sleep all the time, and when he heard the sound of snoring, he said softly to the monk, "This Hu benefactor's Xuhe Gong is really extraordinary. Other families are all practicing meditation, and his snoring is a set of kung fu."

The monk also said in a low voice: "Each family has its own method. What makes him so powerful is breathing."

Before the two could finish speaking, the short middle-aged man suddenly stopped snoring.He closed his eyes and said, "You two masters, talking behind your back is not good. Be careful of violating the rules."

After speaking, he actually continued to snore.

The Taoist priest and the monk smiled and stopped talking.Soon, the Taoist also fell asleep.

Ding'an twirled his rosary beads and guarded a bonfire.Get up from time to time to take a look at the movement of the shop.

The store is always quiet.

In the middle of the night, the wind blows into the forest, and the sound of the waves is faint.

Ding'an saw that there was no movement in the small shop, and the bonfire was always on, so he continued to meditate.Suddenly, with the peripheral vision of his eyes, he noticed a black shadow flashing away not far away.The black shadow was as fast as lightning, and it was like an illusion.It is suspected that it was caused by the shaking of the trees.

The monk was very careful, and he hung up the rosary.He took out a vajra from his sleeve.The pestle is no more than a chi long, black in color, and as thick as a goose egg.

Monk Ding'an looked around vigilantly.There was no movement for a long time.He waited for a while, then turned his head suddenly, and saw the black shadow disappearing behind him.

The monk took a deep breath.This is by no means an illusion, there must be something messing up.

He looked in the direction of the store, but there was no movement at all.

The monk quickly turned around and looked around carefully.In the woods at this time, the wind is howling, if it is hidden in the woods.There is swaying of branches as cover.It is difficult for people in the open to find the weirdness in it.

The monk looked at it for a while, and felt that there were eyes watching him from behind the trunk of every tree.

He thought for a moment, coughed suddenly, and recited a Buddha's name.

The two people who were resting immediately stood up.

"what happened?"

When the Taoist stood up, he drew out a pair of daggers.When the short middle-aged man stood up, he was already holding a pair of short forks in his hand.

"Just now, there was a black shadow, which disappeared over there." The monk pointed with his left hand, and said that he saw the black shadow disappear from the side twice in a row.

The two people were not careless, they first looked around, and then the Taoist jumped onto a tree and searched for a long time, but found nothing.

After the Taoist landed, he shook his head at his two companions.

The middle-aged man said suspiciously: "My small drum is very sensitive. I can hear any movement around me with it. Even the sound of bigger animals passing by and stepping on the ground can be heard with this small drum." But, I didn't hear anything just now."

The Taoist said, "Could it be a bigger night owl flying by?"

The monk shook his head and said, "No. There are feathered birds flying by, so it is impossible that there is no movement. Besides, the wind is blowing now, and in this forest, the wings of the big feathered birds cannot be spread."

The Taoist expressed the concerns of the three. "Could it be that there is someone?"

The monk said: "The three people can't hear it. If it is really a human being, his kung fu is much higher than ours."

The middle-aged man said, "Just to be on the safe side, should we go meet Mr. Ji?"

The monk shook his head: "We just want to wait for the thieves to take the bait. Once we show up, I am afraid that some people will be scared away. The poor monk is worried that someone will use evil methods."

The Taoist said: "In this way, we will guard it with peace of mind, and we will not be surprised if we are surprised."

The three of them had just settled down and were about to sit down when the Taoist priest and the middle-aged man saw a black shadow appearing not far behind the monk almost at the same time, paused for a moment, and immediately fled to the distance.

Seeing the change in his companion's eyes, the monk immediately ran forward and turned somersaults to avoid the danger behind him.When landing, protect the vajra in front of your body.He also saw the shadow again.

"it's him."

This time, the three of them all understood that it was definitely not a hallucination or something like a feathered bird, it was just a person.

Do you want to catch up?

The three made eye contact.

The monk said, "Let's go together. That man is running towards the small shop."

If it is in another direction, they are afraid that someone will lead the snake out of the cave or divert the tiger away from the mountain.Someone rushed to the escort team, and they couldn't let it go.

The three immediately chased after them using lightness kung fu.

After walking a few steps, they found that the black figure in the woods reappeared and continued to flee into the distance.The three chased after each other in a hurry.

Each of the three has unique skills.When chasing, lightness kung fu is used, and each has its own strengths.

After running for a while, they realized that the martial arts of the fleeing man should not be very good, no better than the three of them.
