Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 18

In the dim light of the fire, there were black shadows, all of which were wooden carvings with strange faces. After hearing the news, the robbers from the cottage took a breath one by one, and the traders who were also kidnapped hurriedly buried their heads in their crotches.

Even though the man in front of the stronghold was the owner of the stronghold, he was tall and majestic, but the opposite was beyond common sense. Seeing puppets with scarlet eyes all around him, he pushed the confidant next to him, Turning around, he rushed into the building, shouting: "Please get the Taoist priest out of the building—"

Taoist priest?

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect there to be a Taoist priest in this cottage, but she didn't know how well the other party was cultivating and whether he could break his spell.

The copycat minions who had gathered around were terrified and wanted to slip away, but someone opened the gate of the village, Chen Yuan glanced sideways, and raised her hand to flick across the air.

'Snapped! '

The gate of the village broke free from the man's hand and closed on its own, frightening the bandits who wanted to leave, thinking that Chen Yuan was going to kill them, they threw away their weapons tremblingly, crouched on the ground with their heads in their arms, and yelled.

"Forgive me. We are all people not far from the mountain..."

"The little one has no eyesight, disturbs the expert, treats us as farts."

"Nonsense, an expert doesn't fart!"

Someone corrected him, and when he looked up, he saw an old face with white beard and beard smiling at him, holding a puppet with twisting limbs and red eyes in his hand, polishing the smooth wooden face, and applying dye , penetrating tight.

The bandit screamed "Wow", jumped up on the spot, and ran away. The crazy old man chased after him with a puppet laughing, causing other bandits to avoid, pushing each other, bumping into their companions, water Cylinder, made a mess.

At this time, in the village building, the burly man was holding a steel knife, and when he saw his subordinates inviting the Taoist priest who had robbed the mountain by mistake from the upstairs room, he immediately cheered up, "Daoist, I heard from you before that catching ghosts is like eating." Simple."

"That's right, this Dao is under the seat of Rende Tianshi... Hey, why is it so lively outside?"

In the shadow of the fire with his back turned, he couldn't see the Taoist priest's face clearly, but his figure looked fat and fat. When he looked outside, his wrist was grabbed by a burly man who came over.

"Daoist, since you can cast ghosts, it just so happened that one came outside..."

"what?"

The fat figure was stunned, and was immediately pulled away by the man. He rubbed the ground and wanted to pull back, but his strength was not as strong as the opponent, and he hurriedly said: "Villager, don't talk nonsense about ghosts... hey wait, You have to let me prepare some tricks..."

Outside, Chen Yuan tilted her head when she heard the commotion, and her eyes fell to the village building. What caught her eyes was a bulging belly and a gray and black Taoist robe first appeared at the door, extending to a fat face with big ears and a mustache , talking seriously to the thief leader next to him.

"The village master is calm and don't be impatient, just some little ghosts, but the way needs to be approved first..."

He turned his gaze to meet Chen Yuan's gaze. His words came to an abrupt end. The burly man pushed his back and stumbled down the stone steps. Then he came to the strange puppets at Chen Yuan's feet. His upper muscles twitched, and his expression straightened immediately, showing majesty.

"It's just a few little ghosts, let's see if I can clean it up."

The fat Taoist lowered his gaze, wiped his beard, raised his sleeves, gestured back and forth twice with his palms like claws, and pressed his steps slowly.

Chen Yuan was a little surprised. Isn't this the fake Taoist priest who lied to eat and drink? Where did he get the courage this time?

His eyes fell on the steps taken by the other party, and before he thought about it, the fat Taoist roared in an 'O' shape and rushed towards Chen Yuan. The next moment he took a step, his feet suddenly became unstable His body fell to the ground with a 'slap', and he lay there lying there, motionless and passed out.

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth twitched, and then she burst out laughing, as expected, she still had that virtue.

He raised his eyes and looked at the big man in front of the stronghold. The latter shouted a few times: "Taoist! Daoist!" Seeing no response, he had no choice but to wield the big knife in his hand.

"I invite you to watch a play, call your people, and sit down there! If there is one less, you will be skinned tonight!"

Chen Yuan let out a deep voice, turned around and walked to the caravan, the man put away his style, threw the weapon on the ground with a bang, bowed quickly and nodded, kicked the confidant on the ground, and said seriously:

"Did you hear what the expert said? Hurry up and call everyone together. If one is missing, you will be skinned!"

The fat bandit got up in a hurry, ran with his belly shaking, and called the trembling crowd to come and sit down on the ground.

"Sir, they are all sitting over there."

The burly man swallowed his saliva and walked to the bullock cart, seeing a piece of black cloth and a wooden frame flying out of the shed out of thin air, his mouth shut in amazement, the old cow glanced at him, and snorted disdainfully, seeing the owner coming, He turned his head back again, without squinting.

"Put up the shelves, and you sit among them."

"Yes, the master ordered, and I must do it!"

The man asked two thieves to pull the things on the ground to an open place to build. Here, Chen Yuan looked at the fainting Taoist priest on the ground and kicked him in the buttocks. The other party's eyes were closed and he remained motionless.

He crouched down and lowered his voice.

"The boss is not young, and he pretends to be dizzy. If you don't get up again, I will let the puppet eat you up inch by inch."

The figure on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, struggled to get up with a 'shua', stared at the young man in front of him with wide eyes, and his mouth was trembling.

"You can't be that cruel, can you?"

"Go over there and sit with those bandits."

With a flick of her fingers, Chen Yuan pushed the Taoist priest two feet along the ground, and fell into the crowd.The crude stage had been set up, and the burning torches around were extinguished, only a few of them flew down to the sides of the stage.

In the darkness, everyone anxiously looked at the stage illuminated only by the fire, and the next moment, they saw the crazy old man beating the gong, and the puppet slowly walked out of the scene on the stage, with a dark face, a leopard head and surrounding eyes, The thick-bearded man stared angrily, holding a snake spear and speaking lines fiercely.

I can't see someone secretly manipulating it, as if alive, less than a foot in size, but frightened by the bandits in the audience. However, after a while, the uneasy mood gradually calmed down, and the scene performed on the stage emerged in the crowd. General in front of my eyes.

It seems to have seen how the black man with the leopard head and ring eyes met his brother, and ran to the battlefield together to fight the Yellow Turban, who is brave and invincible...

The night gradually darkens.

Standing behind the stage, Chen Yuan manipulated the woodcarving with her fingers. In her eyes, she faintly saw wisps of green light swirling, which ordinary people cannot see, falling to the Sanye woodcarving on the stage, and turning into wisps of green energy, piercing into her chest. , merged with the mana in the body and rotated, faintly growing a little bit.

Time gradually passed.

After the last performance of "Returning Home" on the stage, all the thieves in the audience finally breathed a sigh of relief. It looks good, but it still hurts to sit like this all the time.

However, the moment the curtain ended, a "boom" gong sounded, and the lines from the first "Battlefield" sounded again.

They opened their mouths slightly, and saw the well-known Zhang Fei puppet, slowly walking onto the stage with a snake spear in hand... and performed the same scene.

For a while, they wanted to report to the officials.

……

There are shallow white gaps in the sky.

In the blue sky, a paper crane landed on the nearby ground.Three figures came after them, and the woman picked up the paper crane on the ground, and her eyes swept over the mountains sunken in misty colors.

"The paper crane's mana is exhausted...but that person should be nearby."

"Be careful."

Qin Shouyan warned, and the long swords in the hands of the three of them faded away from their simplicity, and turned into magic swords with pearls on their jade handles.
