Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 114
Of course Qi Zhongbin heard Miao Zhu's words. He took the cut paper figurine and searched around the city, and finally found a candle shop on a remote street in the west of the city.

No matter in terms of the style of the paper figurines or the color of the smears, the things displayed in this shop are exactly the same as the paper figurines Qi Zhongbin met last night.

Qi Zhongbin didn't go into the store to ask any more questions. He glanced towards the west of the city, then turned around and left.

Either hide in the west of the city, or outside the west city, and there are wilderness barren hills and mass graves outside the west city, the possibility is not small.

It's just that the scope is still too large, and there must be no gain if you go out rashly like this. Qi Zhongbin didn't want to startle the snake.

When he returned to the Mo family, the paper figurines that Qi Zhongbin brought out had already been disposed of. At the same time, he also brought back two large jars of incense ashes from the Town God's Temple, and even bought Sifang Zunshen.

These four gods are said to be the incarnations of the four spirits and beasts. There are several honorary titles in the folk, and they are generally referred to as Dongling General, Nanling General, Xiling General, and Beiling General.

Qi Zhongbin took a few servants to the four corners of Mo Mansion, first reached the east side, put down one of the god statues, and then placed simple tributes, and took out his own incense burner.

"Incense, fire."

One of the servants hurriedly handed over the incense, and the other handed over a lighted candle. Qi Zhongbin lit the incense, handed the candle to the servant, and then held the incense and stood still for a while.

After a few breaths, Qi Zhongbin held the incense and bowed to the statue three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The smoke of the three sticks of incense is like three straight lines, going straight up until they dissipate.

"Go, go south."

In the southern corner of the Mo Mansion, Qi Zhongbin still made it in the same way, still with three sticks of incense and three smokes, straight and straight.

Seeing this, a family member knew that it was not a coincidence, and someone asked out of curiosity.

"Master Qi, why is the incense you smoke so straight?"

Qi Zhongbin replied casually.

"Pray with reverence and devotion in your heart, if the incense can reach the gods directly, the smoke will be upright."

"Is that so?"

"Stop talking, go to the next place!"

After Qi Zhongbin led the people to arrange the four corners of the statues, he felt a little relieved.

But this does not mean that the gods will come here directly, which is basically impossible, but that some of the power of the gods will fall on the statue.

After the statues were set up, Qi Zhongbin helped the conductor Ding spread the incense ash from four directions, and sprinkled it little by little until the incense ash from the feet of each statue was connected together.

After spreading the incense ash and checking it again to make sure it was correct, Qi Zhongbin felt relieved.

Qi Zhongbin was really tired this time, so he went back to his room to rest. In order to maintain as much energy as possible at night, he would always sleep for at least two hours during the day.

The eleventh day of February was also a rather tense day for Qi Zhongbin.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the old man took people to check the incense ash scattered two days ago.

The servant who followed along the way couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. It didn't mean that there was no wind at all in the past two days, but something as light as incense ash was sprinkled there, and it was not blown away.

In the afternoon, all the servants and maids in the Mo residence were excited, many of them were arranging the tables and chairs in the front hall and playing with the screens.

Everyone is looking forward to listening to the book at night.

It was also at this time that someone found Qi Zhongbin again and took him to the living room.

When Qi Zhongbin arrived, besides Master Mo, he also met someone who surprised him.

"Master Qi is here, Po Yu said she is your helper"

Master Mo said something, and seeing Qi Zhongbin's surprised look, he looked at the person who came to the door, and this person was the temple concubine of the Shuntian Empress Temple.

"How did you come?"

"Master Mo's family are all devout people. If your heir is in trouble, I'll see if I can help, lest you die and be unable to protect you!"

Master Mo's expression changed instantly when he heard these words. He didn't blame Miao Zhu's ugly words, but he clearly heard something.

"Master Qi, Po Yu, what are you talking about? Is it extremely dangerous tonight?"

Miao Zhu stared at Master Mo with wide eyes and then at the old man.

"Wow, are you still hiding the truth from the Mo family?"

Qi Zhongbin was both embarrassed and annoyed, and the old woman was too straightforward, so she could only bite the bullet and explain.

"Well, isn't this to prevent the people in the house from being afraid? It's better not to know. Those who are outside don't need to know too much. If they can't stop it, knowing it won't be of much use. Instead, they will become flustered."

Master Mo knew what Qi Zhongbin was going to do tonight, but every time Qi Zhongbin reassured him that he didn't need help, he didn't expect that it would sound very dangerous.

"Master Mo, don't blame him. This old man has such a temper. If I come to help him tonight, he will be fine."

Master Mo's good mood was suddenly disturbed, because there was nowhere to get angry if he wanted to. After all, the person in front of him wanted to protect his family.
-
Miao Zhu Yu Po came to help, which surprised and delighted Qi Zhongbin.

But in contrast, the other people in the Mo mansion were all disappointed, not because they hated Miao Zhu, but because they couldn't listen to tonight's book.

Master Mo's excuse to the outside world was that Mr. Storyteller had something to do to push him away.

But Qi Zhongbin and Miao Zhu knew what Master Mo was thinking.

Master Mo's original words are:

"Mr. Storyteller is not from my Mo Family, and he didn't know about it beforehand, so he won't let him into troubled waters. As long as the Mo Family is fine, you can listen to books any day."

This also made Miao Zhu and Qi Zhongbin look at Master Mo with admiration.
-
Over at the Qingyuan teahouse, Yi Shuyuan had already finished talking about today's book.

Although Yi Shuyuan made a rule of one book a day, it was obviously the rule in the Qingyuan teahouse, which did not affect his going to the Mofu.

While Yi Shuyuan was packing up his things, Ade, who had arrived at the end of the storytelling just now, squeezed through the dispersing crowd and arrived in front of Yi Shuyuan.

"Mr. Yi, it was planned to go to Mofu tonight to tell a story, do you remember?"

Yi Shuyuan looked at the person and nodded.

"Remember."

Ade smiled awkwardly.

"Well, it's like this, uh, our wife suddenly felt a little unwell, and the letter was originally specially prepared for the lady, so..."

"So you won't be talking about books today?"

Yi Shuyuan helped the other party speak out.

"That's right, let's forget about it tonight. Don't worry, Mr. Yi. The master asked me to bring it. I've already said the book tonight. Please put it away!"

Ade put down a silver coin on Yi Shuyuan's table, and Yi Shuyuan looked at Ade, who looked a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll take the money."

"Hey, hey, then, then I'll go back first!"

Ade was looked at a little uncomfortable, turned around and left in a hurry after finishing speaking.

Yi Shuyuan copied the silver on the table with the unfolded folding fan. He shook the fan and weighed it. There must be at least ten taels.

Xiaoer on the side looked envious.

"Hey, this Master Mo is really particular. He even sent someone to send money over after pushing it!"

The shopkeeper knocked on the counter.

"Don't understand? Otherwise, why is he a master? Go to work!"

With a flick of Yi Shuyuan's fan, the silver drew an arc in the air and landed on his left hand. He stood up and walked towards the door of the teahouse. Looking at the servants of Mofu who hurried away on the street, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's not unreasonable for this child to be reincarnated into the Mo family!"

"It will be reincarnated!"

Hui Mian echoed in a low voice in Yi Shuyuan's ear, he still remembered that his husband said that reincarnation also requires skills, now it seems that dolls do have skills! ——
Although the storyteller was rejected, the people from all over the Mo family still gathered together, and they didn't let everyone down too much. Tonight's banquet will still be held.

Even a servant can have a good table of wine and food.

Mrs. Mo seemed a little unhappy, complaining that her husband had agreed to the storyteller to return tonight's book without authorization, but a few words of anger from Mrs. Mo would affect the child, and Mrs. Mo couldn't be bothered anymore.

Today is a cloudy day, and it gets dark very quickly in the evening. Before the dishes are ready, the sky outside is already dark.

"Woo hoo hoo hoo"

A gust of wind blew, making the door panels of Mo Mansion rattle.

In the quiet room in the backyard, Qi Zhongbin and the old woman who were sitting cross-legged opened their eyes one after another.

"It's not completely dark yet, why don't we come to the door now?"

"The evil day of the underworld is not impossible, so don't take it lightly!"

The two couldn't sit down anymore, they stood up, opened the door and walked out.

It's just that when he arrived in the yard, Qi Zhongbin felt a drop of water on his nose, followed by the second and third drops.
"It's raining?"

The old man and the old woman looked up at the gloomy sky, and their faces became uglier than the sky.

The rain is not very heavy, but it is very troublesome, because the incense ash may be washed away after a long time.

"Boom--"

There was thunder but no thunder light. This sound made the two of them, Qi Zhongbin and Yu Po, look serious. It was obviously not real thunder.

Even this sound is not audible to ordinary people.

"Monsters are colliding!"

"Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, you go to the front hall to guard Madam Mo, I don't worry if you are there, I will go to the backyard to have a look!"

Yu Po looked at Qi Zhongbin.

"Be careful yourself, don't hold on, if you can't stand it, call me!"

"understood!"

The two rushed out one after the other.

The front hall was not far away, and the old woman arrived in no time, but when she got here, all the bustle that could be heard just now was gone.

Yu Po's complexion changed, and she opened the door of the front hall with a "bang~", and there was no one in the hall.

But Po Yu didn't panic, she closed her eyes, put her fingers between her eyebrows, and all of a sudden, the front hall was bustling again, opened her eyes, and sure enough, everyone in the hall was there.

"Grandma Yu, what's the matter? Where's Master Qi?"

Po Yu opened the door in a hurry just now, and obviously surprised some people, she hurriedly apologized.

"Oh, it's all right, I'm just a little hungry, I wonder if there is still room for me?"

As someone who knew the truth better, Master Mo seemed to understand something at this moment, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Yu Po said this, come to our table, please sit down quickly!"

"That's right, Granny Yu, come here, it's spacious here!"

Mrs. Mo also called Po Yu to go over, and asked another question at the same time.

"Grandma Yu, did you hear thunder when you came from outside? They all said they didn't hear it! Wipe off the rain."

"It's raining outside, but there's really no thunder!"

Yu Po sat down and answered with a smile on her face. At the same time, she was also thinking about when she had the illusion just now.

The effect of the four-way array is there, but it is certainly not without its shortcomings. If you don't force yourself directly, it will be very difficult to exert illusion effects through other methods.

When Granny Yu picked up the bowls and chopsticks, she counted the people in the hall carefully. She had to make sure that no one went out from here, otherwise, if she seduced a servant, the square formation might be broken from the inside.

That moment just now, maybe it was a test!

This evil spirit actually understands brilliant illusions, and immediately understood the weakness of the formation, obviously much smarter than imagined.

Yu Po secretly sweated in her heart. Compared with bright swords and bright guns, this kind of insidiousness is obviously the last thing she and the old man want to encounter.

The good news is that playing this trick also shows that the opponent's hard power is not too exaggerated!

Qi Zhongbin was in the same situation as Yu Po at the moment. When he ran to the back house, he felt that the whole Mo Mansion had become an empty house, and there was no sound at all.

"Hmph, worm-carving trick!"

Standing in the backyard, Qi Zhongbin made the same choice as the old woman, and applied the spell to the center of his eyebrows, breaking the illusion in an instant.

But the moment the illusion was broken, a sense of crisis rose, Qi Zhongbin bent down almost instinctively, and swept a big knife made of paper across his back.

With a side kick, Qi Zhongbin directly kicked a paper figurine general away, and then looked around, his scalp went numb.

The entire backyard was actually densely packed with paper figurines and horses, some very new and some very old.

These paper objects stood in the rain without getting wet.

So heavy and pure Yin Qi!
But why?
The rain is still not heavy, and the incense ash should not have washed away, and the gods of the four directions have not moved at all. Could it be that the explosion just now broke the formation?

"Are you wondering why the Sifang God didn't bless this place?"

A strange voice that was neither yin nor yang sounded around.

"Hey hey hey hey, I'll tell you when you die!"

"Hmph, I also know how powerful you are, so you are someone who only dares to hide your head and show your tail!"

"Zheng-"

Qi Zhongbin's Seven Star Sword came out of his body, and a piece of talisman paper appeared in his hand, which was sprinkled directly towards the surroundings.

Six or seven paper figurines were hit by the talisman, Qi Zhongbin swung his sword to keep up, fought with the paper figurines, and split the paper figurines that were hit by the talisman one after another.

But the other talisman papers were directly knocked to the ground by the rain because of the rainy weather.

Many paper figurines also launched an offensive again, some with knives, some with guns, and some even with bows and arrows. It was like a battle formation.

Qi Zhongbin fights with countless paper figurines and paper soldiers, one person with one sword, and the effect of spells is not very effective, it all depends on martial arts.

But these things move strangely and there is no need to worry about life and death. Qi Zhongbin has suffered several injuries in a short period of time.

"Come--"

Qi Zhongbin shouted loudly, white shadows flew out one after another, and the small paper figures stood up one by one. Although they were small, they were able to fight evenly with the weird big paper figures.

"I found you!"

Qi Zhongbin yelled, he had already seen a ghost, and it was a red-clothed paper man with a red hijab.

The Seven Star Sword fell on the paper figurine following the leaping master, and with a swipe of the sword, the red paper figurine split into two, and the red hijab fell to the ground.

But there was no sense of penetration, which surprised Qi Zhongbin again!
In the front hall, the old woman obviously sensed some movements of Qi Zhongbin, and could feel the aura of his spellcasting, obviously beating very fiercely.

Unexpectedly, it was still completely dark, and the other party was aggressive.

Grasping her rice bowl and her chopsticks, Po Yu kept telling herself to be steady and not mess around!

"what--"

A shrill scream came from the backyard, Yu Po's mind suddenly became confused, and she couldn't help but stood up directly.

This made everyone at the same table stop.

"Grandma Yu? What's wrong with you?"

When Mrs. Mo asked this question, the people next to her also looked strange.

But Yu Po didn't bother to answer at all, she had already rushed to the door, but just before opening the door, she suddenly turned to look at Mrs. Mo.

Didn't she hear?

Yu Po's hand holding the door stopped moving, but it was trembling slightly.

The sound of rain outside the house made people irritated, Yu Po was in a struggle in her heart, should she go or not?

Only the next moment, the rain outside the house suddenly subsided.

On the street where the Mo Mansion is located, Yi Shuyuan walked to the gate of the Mo Mansion, and there were red lanterns hanging in front of the closed gate.

Yi Shuyuan unfolded the folding fan with one hand, and the folding fan held a gourd.

At this moment, invisible breaths continuously rose from the gourd, which seemed to turn into flames as fine as water in the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky were soaked by the smell of alcohol in a short period of time.

The clouds seem to be slowly twisted, like a whirlpool...

During this process, there was a faint whistling strange wind like water pouring into oil.

In the eyes of the two sorcerers, the strange and frightening evil spirits have nothing to hide in the eyes of Yi Shuyuan today.

It is indeed somewhat capable, but it is only aimed at the use of skills and the grasp of people's hearts.

After the investigation, for Yi Shuyuan, this kind of thing that can't show up in the daytime doesn't even have the ability to resist in front of him now.

Receive!
With Yi Shuyuan's thought, a large swath of alcohol came back, and even the dark clouds in the sky were brought back.

It's like a tiny tornado is quickly entering the gourd.

"Ho uh..."

A hoarse, terrified growl sounded like an inhalation, and it stopped abruptly when the gourd closed.

"If this treasure is simply used to block the rain, it will be quite effective!"

While muttering to himself, as Yi Shuyuan waved his sleeve with his left hand, the door of the Mo Mansion opened directly.

The dark clouds in the sky are dissipating, revealing a bright moon.

Yi Shuyuan walked into the front yard of the Mo Mansion step by step, and a bright and warm feeling melted away the yin energy like the spring breeze melting snow, slowly sweeping across the entire Mo Mansion
