I Was an Abbot in Ancient Times - Chapter 40

Lin Zhao pondered, since he entered the village, he saw that everyone’s qi was normal, and there was nothing wrong with it?

“Daoist, but you can see something is wrong?”

Late at night, Lin Zhao came to Liu Yanqing’s room to discuss.

Liu Yanqing shook her head, “I didn’t see anything, but… I always felt that it was weird, and Pindao always felt that it was not very appropriate.”

Lin Zhao trusted him very much, and immediately said: “Then let’s be careful and observe more, whether it is a human or a ghost will eventually reveal its true form.”

Liu Yanqing smiled: “The abbot’s attitude is calm and calm, and the poor Taoist admires him.”

Lin Zhao shook his hair triumphantly as a villain in his heart. His ability to adapt and accept is very good. He can accept being a monk suddenly after passing through the binding system, and he is quite comfortable even in the face of gods and monsters.

In the shade of the hillside behind the hut, under the bright white moonlight, there were several figures gathering together to conspire and discuss.

“Fourth! What’s going on with you today! You let them in without looking at the three monks and a Taoist priest! If something is noticed and something happens, it’s up to you to explain to the master!”

“Hmph, I’m afraid of a bird! No matter how powerful a monk or priest is, can he beat that one? Isn’t that one still held in the palm of the master’s hand?”

The moonlight shone on their faces, and they were the men and women who entertained Lin Zhao and his party during the day.

An old man next to him smacked his mouth, which was somewhat affected, and now he always wants to smoke a few cigarettes.

“It’s better not to make any troubles. When they buy nanmu and let them go, I will tell those people in the village to pay attention in the past few days and don’t get caught.”

“That’s it!” The woman gave the man a elbow, and the man clicked his tongue and shouted at the old man:

“Heiwei, you are afraid of a bird! These few will definitely be happy if they accept the master! If you don’t take advantage of this time to behave, what are you waiting for!”

The old man glanced at the man, and the fourth child was also affected, and he never left a word.

He smacked his lips again: “I don’t think these people are simple.”

The man snorted disdainfully again: “Even if it’s a practitioner of magic, we’re not afraid! I’d rather have a few monks and priests with real skills, absorbing them is better than absorbing ten or fifty ordinary people! “

Because of what Liu Yanqing said last night, Lin Zhao instructed Buse Huitong to pay more attention when the group walked around the village.

In the name of asking to buy golden nanmu, it did not arouse suspicion.

Tiewei Mountain grows a lot of nanmu, and there are many merchants who come to ask for precious wood, so some people take the initiative to talk to them, saying that they want to take them to find if there is golden nanmu that is a hundred years old.

“Most of our good nanmu has been bought, and several others have been booked! Good guy, the Zhou family’s was left fifty taels of silver by a merchant!” Envious expression.

Lin Zhao has been pondering carefully, because a flash of inspiration flashed across his mind for these words, and he wanted to catch them but failed to catch them.

As if a thorn had been stabbed in his heart, Lin Zhao signaled to Bushi, who led the man to continue talking knowingly.

“Hey, then your ancestors have relied on the mountains for food, so you don’t have to worry about making a living!”

“That’s right! In our village, no one has ever worried about money, so we must guard this treasure mountain…”

Lin Zhao clapped his palms, and suddenly caught the flashing light.

He finally knew what was wrong!

On the day of the lodging, the man told them that two men died in the family at the entrance of the village, and that their hearts and lungs were taken out by a black bear attack because of hunting.

Herein lies the problem!

Since the ancestors in the village have lived on nanmu for generations, why bother to venture into the mountains to hunt and lose their lives in vain!

Then there is only one result—the man is lying.

Why would he lie about the deaths of two men? It’s completely unnecessary.

Unless there is something strange about the deaths of these two men.

Lin Zhao wandered around the mountains and forests for half a day, looking for an opportunity to secretly communicate with Buse Huitong and the Taoist, and was going to investigate the deaths of the two men.

In the evening, Lin Zhao came out of the family’s house at the entrance of the village alone, with a solemn expression, and he paced back to the lodging.

When passing by a pond, Lin Zhao met a man staying overnight, and heard his wife call him the fourth child.

The fourth child greeted Lin Zhao with a simple and honest smile, “Monk, why are you alone?”

Lin Zhao responded with a smile: “They went up the mountain to find Nanmu, I’m tired and I’ll come back to rest first.”

“Oh, then you go back, I’m going to help my daughter-in-law harvest the crops!”

Lin Zhao nodded, and the two passed each other.

Lin Zhao continued to lower his head and ponder. Those two men hadn’t been beaten, so why did the family of the fourth child lie?

He looked at the khaki ground, and suddenly found a tall shadow on the ground, slowly approaching.

“Master Kongchen!” A voice shouted from the far side of the slope. It was Liu Yanqing who called his dharma name. This dharma name had not been called for a long time, and Lin Zhao was a little slow to react at the moment.

He turned his head, and the figures of Buse Huitong and Liu Yanqing appeared.

He turned his head to look behind him again, the black face of the fourth man smiled with two rows of white teeth. When did this person follow up? Thinking of this man quietly following behind, Lin Zhao felt a chill in his heart.

The fourth child said honestly to Lin Zhao, “I suddenly remembered that there was some corn left in the pot for you, remember to eat it!”

Lin Zhao nodded with a smile. Turning him away, his face suddenly turned cold.

At this time, Buse Huitong and Liu Yanqing all approached.

Liu Yanqing’s expression was solemn: “I think that man has bad intentions for you!”

Lin Zhao nodded: “I noticed it.”

Immediately afterwards, he continued: “The man’s family is lying, the dead bodies of the two men did not have any wounds left by the wild beast attack.”

“He just wanted to attack you because he noticed that you were investigating?”

Lin Zhao shook his head, “I don’t think so. I just met him by chance. That man didn’t know that I came out of the dead man’s house.”

“Then what is the purpose of his attack on you just now?”

Lin Zhao shook his head, he didn’t know, neither hatred nor murder for money. There is something weird about this village.

“When he makes a move next time, we must catch him upright, so that we can go to trial!” Liu Yanqing regretted that she was not smart enough, and missed the opportunity just now.

Lin Zhao patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, but in fact, he himself was taken aback by the fourth man just now.

The ghosts on the bright side are not scary, but the evil intentions disguised as human faces are scary.

You are on guard, and you don’t know when they will stab you in the back.

The fourth son of the man did not attack Lin Zhao again soon. Even though Lin Zhao deliberately placed orders many times to cause the bait, the other party did not respond. I don’t know if they knew that they noticed that their last shot was too reckless.

Not knowing what the other party would do next, Lin Zhao waited patiently.

until one rainy night…

The fourth man, the fourth man, failed to strike last time, but after he was informed by the old man with a black tail, he was taught a lesson severely, and he was very unconvinced. Heiwei was about to make a move, and wanted to do it again, but Heiwei found someone to keep watching and restraining him.

It wasn’t until the fifteenth day that Heiwei brought people to meet the master, that he found the opportunity.

It happened to be a rainy night, and there was not even a trace of moonlight, which could cover his tracks very well. The fourth man felt that God was helping him.

He quietly lurked into Lin Zhao’s room, raising the hatchet in his hand and was about to swing it down!

“Boom—”

Huitong kicked it flying!

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the fourth man wanted to run away, but was hit by Huitong on the back of the spine so hard that he stopped moving.

Lin Zhao raised his eyebrows, so fragile?

Unexpectedly, the next moment, when Liu Yanqing heard the movement, she lit a candle and came in to check, and she showed her trace.

I saw a group of ink-like moving shadows gathered above Lin Zhao’s head at some point!

Seeing the candlelight coming in, it quickly moved behind the curtain, hiding its figure.

A few people stared at the surroundings with good eyes, especially the places near the doors and windows or their surroundings. “There!” Lin Zhao saw that the watery black ink was about to escape from the gap in the roof.

Liu Yanqing reacted very quickly when he heard the words, took out a small palm-sized mahogany sword, threw it over, and stuck it on the ink shadow.

“Jie!” Shui Mo Yitan let out a scream, writhing and struggling like a ball of water weed, making people think of some kind of mollusk, which is very disgusting. After struggling and twisting for a while, the shadow disappeared.

Lin Zhao and the others looked at each other, full of doubts and confusion, what exactly was that? Suddenly I heard a groan under my feet.

Everyone looked, it was the man who had opened his eyes, and was frowning as he covered his painful back and wondered where he was.

The man’s real name was not Laosi, but Lu Daqiao. One day he went up the mountain to look at his own trees, and suddenly his mouth and nose were blocked by a cloud of black smoke coming out of nowhere, and he passed out. Then when I woke up, I found myself in a dark place. At the beginning, my thinking was clear and I was able to think about what happened to me, but then I gradually lost my energy, and my thinking became dull, until finally there was nothing. Know.

Hearing this, Liu Yanqing solemnly stretched out his index finger to touch Lu Daqiao’s altar, and found that his three souls and six souls had lost one soul and two souls.

“Neither a human nor a ghost nor a demon, living in a human body, devouring the soul, the poor have never heard of it in this life, and have never seen it.” Liu Yanqing’s face was covered with a layer of chill, the candle flickered in the dark, flickering, flickering, and the projection fell on the wall There are many shadows. The sound of the rain outside also fluctuates, and the wind makes the leaves rustle, making the atmosphere a little more ghostly.

“I don’t know how many people in this village have suffered.”

“Tomorrow we’ll go visit each family to investigate.” Lin Zhao also shuddered a little. The shadowy fourth child possessed Lu Daqiao, and his actions and words were not at all inconsistent. It seems that he is Lu Daqiao himself, possessing Lu Daqiao’s habits, memories and emotions.

this is too scary. This means that if someone close to you is possessed by something like the fourth shadow, it will be difficult for you to detect it.

The rain stopped early the next morning, and the sky was washed blue, sweeping away the haze of last night’s rainy night.

A few people came to the house where the mourning was held at the gate of the village on the first day, and a woman about 30 years old happened to help an old woman out of it.
