Night Lights

Chapter 84

There are three auspicious things in the coffin hole, and there are six evils buried there; one auspicious person: the coming of the sky, the uploading of earth virtues, the Tibetan gods unite the new moon, and the gods welcome ghosts to avoid them; Cleverly, the tool of power tends to be complete and avoids deficiency, and the height is beneficial to the lower; the six evils are the mistakes of yin and yang, and the six rounds are the main evils; ——Excerpted from Tongyin Eight Volumes of "Wordless Book of Heaven".

……

noon.

Yan Zifei came out of Changle Square, looked around constantly, weighed the ocean in his hand, and put it into his arms, looking a little at a loss.

"Brother Bai Shibao! Fifth Master Ma! Brothers! I..."

Yan Zifei swallowed halfway through his words, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, then quickly disappeared into the street.

Hot days!

There are few people walking on the street, and many people are crowded in teahouses drinking big bowls of tea and sweating!

The people living in this area to the west are small merchants and peddlers, and the houses are built with broken brick walls inside and outside, and the roofs are full of gray and gray. The houses are very close to each other, and the streets and alleys are narrow.In addition, the well water here has a bitter taste. If you want to drink sweet water, you often have to walk two or three miles to fetch water to drink. As a result, many people have moved away, and it is even more deserted on weekdays.

Swallow flew to a corner of the street, and suddenly heard someone shout: "If you don't see the signs clearly, be careful!"

Yan Zifei was stunned for a moment, then looked back!
A middle-aged man in a gray cloth shirt, black cloth shoes on his feet, and a pair of sunglasses was sitting cross-legged on a horse stool, grinning at him.Look at him, he looks like Zhang Yi in the "painted face show" "Fishing for Gold Turtles", and beside him stands a cover with the words "fortune-telling by splitting characters".

Yan Zifei asked suspiciously, "Are you calling me?"

The middle-aged man took off his sunglasses, raised his finger to the cover on his finger, and said, "How? Do you have a guess? It's very accurate!"

Yan Zifei said: "With a pair of sunglasses on, I thought I was blind!"

The middle-aged man replied: "A blind man can't see the way himself, so how can he 'show the way' to others?"

Yan Zifei guessed that his words were quite reasonable, thinking that he was a little confused now. 'Above' asked himself to leave the capital immediately, while Bai Shibao and other brothers were still trapped in the ghost well, and they really couldn't make up their minds whether to go or not!
So Yan Zifei asked: "Is the calculation accurate?"

The middle-aged man grinned and said, "No money!"

Yan Zifei took a look around and found that the place was quite secluded, with few people walking around, so he leaned forward and asked, "What's the algorithm?"

"Write whatever you want! I'll do the divination for you!"

Yan Zifei lowered his head and thought for a while, now that he is confused and doesn't know how to choose, why not just write the word 'solve' and see how he can do the divination!After thinking about it, Yan Zifei took the writing brush handed over by the middle-aged man, dipped it in the ink, wrote the word 'jie' on the soft paper at his stall, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at it for a while, slowly frowned his brows thoughtfully, then kept shaking his head and sighing.

Yan Zifei asked: "What is the meaning of this word?"

The middle-aged man looked up at Yan Zifei, and said, "If you take apart the word 'jie', it's 'horn knife'. I'm afraid brothers will encounter disaster!"

"Disaster?"

Yan Zifei's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: I'm afraid what this person said is right, I'm in danger now!It's just that this kind of thing is like 'tofu strung with hair', you can't even mention it in front of outsiders!So he shook his head and said, "You are all tricks to fool people, you are nothing more than trying to cheat me of two money! No, you are mistaken! You should wear sunglasses and be blind!"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I've been setting up a stall for three years, and I've never looked past it. If you don't believe me, write another word!"

Yan Zifei secretly said: "Success! I see if you can guess it right this time!" So, after thinking about his situation, he thought about it for a while, swish, swish, swish!Pick up a pen and write the word 'escape'!

The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw it, and instead of dismantling it literally, he said to Yan Zifei: "The word 'escape' is a metaphor: a gentle lady, a gentleman is so good! It seems that you have noble people to help you on the way to escape" Ah! And it's a woman!"

"what……"

Yan Zifei gasped after hearing this, and said in surprise: Who is this guy?How did you guess so accurately?Does he know about me? ...Impossible, no one is following me!Could it be... Could it be that what I was thinking in my heart was seen by him?No, I have to write something casual this time!
After thinking about it, Yan Zifei glanced around and saw a rabbit cage in front of a tofu shop. The rabbit was eating grass, so he wrote another big character 'Mao' on the paper and handed it to the middle-aged man. .

After the middle-aged man saw it, he smiled slightly, and said, "After dismantling the word 'Mao', it becomes 'remnant flowers and willows'. The gentleman's nobleman is probably a woman from Firework Lane..."

Yan Zifei was stunned, and hurriedly asked: "I write a few more words, will it count?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's just a word!"

Yan Zifei shook his pen and thought to himself, why don't I write my own name and ask him to guess, but it's better to delete a few more, so he thought to himself: I am Yan Zifei and Li Sanshi!
At this time, there was only one uppercase word '三' and 'Ye' left on the paper!

Yan Zifei thought to himself: "These two words can't be matched together, let's see how he disassembles them!"

This time, the middle-aged man took the paper, held it in his hand, looked at it for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "It's not good!"

Yan Zifei asked: "What's wrong?"

"The word 'three' is taken apart to form 'Big Thirty', and when reassembled it becomes the character 'Ben'. I'm afraid you'll have to go somewhere else..."

"This……"

Yan Zifei's eyes widened, not knowing what to say.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man continued to say: "The word 'ye' is even more fierce. Add water to make 'chi', and horses to make 'chi', but you just wrote the word 'ye', which means that there is no water in the pool." But Lu Chi has no horses! I'm afraid you'll be unable to move even an inch when you 'run' this time!"

Yan Zifei exclaimed in surprise: "That's right!"

The middle-aged man bared his teeth and smiled, and said, "Now I'll give you another word!" After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man grabbed the brush, dipped it in the ink, and wrote the word 'cat' on the paper!

"cat?"

"That's right! This is what I said to you at the beginning: You can see the signs clearly!"

Yan Zifei asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

"You are kept in the dark, you don't know how to look at things in reverse! What is the word 'also' you turn around?"

"Dog?"

"What about the 'miao' head?"

Yan Zifei exclaimed in shock: "Cat!"

The middle-aged man bared his teeth and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you have met the cat demon! And it is the noble man who helped you escape, and it pointed you to a dead end. If you continue walking , I'm afraid my life is in danger!"

Yan Zifei said in shock: "How is it possible!"

Yan Zifei knew that this person was talking about Xiao Taohong!That Xiao Taohong is a fellow of her own, how could she be a cat demon?How does this man who does the math know so many things about me?Could it be that you can see through my mind with just a few words?

At this time, the middle-aged man put on his sunglasses, smiled at Yan Zifei, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can follow me to have a look!"

Yan Zifei frowned and asked, "How do you see it?"

"The cat demon always chooses a quiet and sheltered place to catch up on sleep at noon. When she sleeps, she will transform into her original shape. Do you dare to identify it with me?"

Yan Zifei laughed and said, "It's broad daylight, the sun is scorching, and people don't bother to come out. How dare the cat demon come out to bask in the sun?"

The middle-aged man stood up, evacuated the stall, and said: "The demon is not a ghost, it has flesh and blood, so why can't it see the light?"

Yan Zifei was dubious, lowered his head and pondered, is this little Taohong really a cat demon?But why did she kindly give me the ocean and tell me to run away?Could it be the wizard Bian Kui?Oops!They let me go on purpose and followed me secretly until I contacted 'above', so they could catch them all?
Thinking of this, Yan Zifei's face turned pale with fright.

At this time, the middle-aged man finished cleaning up the booth, patted the front of his clothes, and shook his cuffs. Seeing Yan Zifei standing there in a daze, he said, "Have you thought about it? If you don't come with me to see if it's true or not, how do you know I'm serious?" Is it right?"

"go with!"

Yan Zifei decides to go with him to see if it's true or not, if it is proved that what he said is false, he will definitely be overwhelmed!If it is true, he should make another plan...

So, Yan Zifei took the middle-aged man back and stopped at a street corner opposite Changlefang, poked his head, and secretly watched the crowds coming and going from Changlefang.

The middle-aged man raised his head, squinted his eyes to look at the sun, and said, "It's noon, I guess it will come out soon!"

Before the words were finished, the two saw Xiao Taohong twisting her waist, holding the white-browed statue coming out of Changle Square, looked around, then turned her head and walked west.

Yan Zifei secretly said: "What is she doing holding the statue?"

The middle-aged man whispered: "Where is the statue, it is an evil god, but the ancestor of the cat demon, named 'Yi Lingshen', with a pair of red eyes and white eyebrows, but the most evil god! As the saying goes: Dogs give money, cats give funerals, that’s what they are talking about! Look! It’s sure to ‘send’ the statue of the evil god at the door of someone else’s house, and then go to bed after bowing down... "

"Why do this?"

"Whoever puts this kind of thing at the door will kill people! It's a haunting during the day, and it's really harmful when it's at night!" After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man patted Yan Zifei's shoulder and said, "Let's go! go up..."

The swallow is as light as a swallow, so the lightness kung fu is naturally not a problem.

However, that little Taohong seemed to be walking slowly, but she was surprisingly fast, crossing a street in three or two steps.What surprised Yan Zifei even more was that the middle-aged man next to him followed closely, not much slower than Yan Zifei...

After traveling for about an hour, Yan Zifei and the two followed all the way to the outside of the city.

Yan Zifei watched Xiao Taohong get into a dense cornfield, and was about to catch up, but was grabbed by the middle-aged man, and said: "Wait! The wind direction has changed! It's easy for it to smell us with the wind." smell, let's go! Let's go around and chase against the wind..."

After all, the two walked around the cornfield.

Looking around, I really saw Xiao Taohong kneeling at the door of a farmer's house, lying on the ground and doing the "five body throwing" gift!And at the door of the farmer's house, she placed the statue of the evil god!
Little Taohong paid homage to a stick of incense, then stood up, turned around on the spot, and turned into a big black cat with a bang!

A fat big black cat, the whole body seems to be painted with black ink, only the few whiskers on the mouth are white!
Blinking a pair of faint green eyes, looking around, he actually stood up on two legs, stretched his waist with his mouth open, then licked his paws with his tongue, turned around and picked up the statue of the evil god, Swipe into the cornfield...

Yan Zifei said in astonishment: "She turned out to be a cat... a cat demon!"

The middle-aged man bared his teeth and said with a grin: "I'm right, right? I figured it out and it turned out to be an 'accurate' word!"

Yanzifei panicked: "I believe it... I believe it! I think we should leave quickly, don't be discovered by it!"

The middle-aged man said: "Let's go? If you don't catch it, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"What? You...you want to catch it?"

The middle-aged man bared his teeth and said with a grin, "A ghost queen can cultivate into a monster in a hundred years, a monster in a hundred years can become a demon, a monster can become a master in a hundred years, and a spirit can become a devil in a hundred years... This black cat has at least a hundred years of cultivation to become a demon. If you don't catch it, Do you still want to watch it harm people?"

Yan Zifei's staring eyes were about to fall off, and he asked tremblingly, "Who the hell are you? You are so courageous..."
