Knife splashing

Chapter 8: It's a lie!

Failed!
Although Li Yan was unwilling, he had no choice.

When preparing for the ceremony yesterday, he had already vaguely figured out the idea and roughly guessed the principle of this method.

To put it bluntly, it is to deceive ghosts and gods.

This method has a long history and many varieties.

The most common thing among the people is that when a boy or a girl is born, because some taboo has been violated and they are afraid that the child cannot be raised up, so they change the way they do things and raise the boy as a girl, and the girl as a tomboy.

This is the method taught by Widow Wang, and it even goes a step further. It takes advantage of the cold altar and traps the soldiers inside the chicken's belly, then burns it at noon to turn the disaster around.

Li Yan did not know the deeper principles.

But apparently, that thing wasn't fooled.

Looking at the internal organs that had been mixed into a paste in the chicken's stomach, Li Yan felt a chill in his heart.

After being possessed by that thing, it was so terrifying.

I'm afraid the substitute statue won't be able to stop us for a few times.

He did not dare to be careless, so he burned the rooster and buried it directly, and then prepared it again according to the same method.

According to Widow Wang, this method needs to be performed for two consecutive nights.

Maybe it will work tonight.

The waiting time is always a bit long.

After finally waiting until night fell and everything was quiet, Li Yan tied a rooster outside the door, then went back to the room and burrowed into the ground.

The moonlight this night is even brighter.

Unlike yesterday, as midnight approached, a cold wind suddenly blew up inside Lijiabao.

The cold wind blew left and right, carrying dust and fallen leaves. It entered from the village entrance, avoided the land temple there, and swirled towards Li Yan's house.

In Widow Wang's house, the candlelight was dim.

The girl had woken up, but was still staying in the red circle, holding a whisk and making a strange movement, as if she was listening attentively.

Suddenly, her eyes opened wide, she stared at the door, and mumbled something non-stop.

Widow Wang standing by turned pale instantly.

"Oh no, that child is in danger!"

.........

The cold wind whirled and soon arrived in front of Li's house.

This wind swirled on the flat ground, carrying with it flying dust.

If ordinary people saw it, they would not be surprised, because when the weather suddenly changes and the wind blows, such small whirlwinds carrying dust are very common.

But the big rooster tied to the door seemed to sense the danger. Its feathers stood on end and it flapped its wings and jumped up and down, trying to break free.

However, he was blown by the cold wind and fell to the ground.

Not long after, the majestic rooster suddenly floated up, as if it was held up by an invisible big hand.

With a snap, the chicken's head and feet were all twisted and crooked, and the corpse fell to the ground along with chicken manure. A cold wind suddenly rose up around it.

However, the aura was obviously weaker.

As if because of being deceived repeatedly, the dark wind was very angry. It circled in the air, rolled up the fallen leaves, and flew towards Li's house from the side wall.

However, before he got close, he was bounced away.

Boom!
The plaque "Mighty in a Hundred Battles" hanging at the door made a muffled sound.

The noise was much louder than the previous two nights.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
After three consecutive collisions, a crack appeared on the plaque "Mighty in a Hundred Battles" with a click.

This time the crack was deeper and the paint fell off.

And the gloomy wind seemed to have become much weaker. It no longer broke through, but instead circled around Li's house.

In the dark night, the wind was howling.

In the ground under the side room, Li Yan was holding a knife and was on guard.

He couldn't hear any noise outside, but he could feel that thing had arrived.

Because the cold feeling on my back became more and more obvious.

What's going on tonight?

Seems a little different...

Just when he was wondering, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

"Where have you been, baby?"

Blurry and slightly weathered, it was his grandfather Li Gui!
Oops!

Li Yan's hair stood on end and he was frightened.

He was not unprepared for these two nights. He put heart-nourishing and nerve-soothing herbs such as Poria cocos and Schisandra chinensis into the porridge.

For a period of time, his grandfather was in poor health and suffered from insomnia and nightmares, so he took some medicine according to the prescription given by the doctor. Every time he took it, he could sleep until dawn.

Although the old man was a brave soldier in the army when he was young, he was mentally traumatized by his father's death. His health has been deteriorating over the years and he cannot stand the shock at all.

Naturally, he didn't dare to say more about how to deal with evil spirits.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong at this time.

Just when Li Yan was panicking, he suddenly remembered Widow Wang's warning.

This method has taboos. No matter what you hear or see, you cannot show up rashly, otherwise you will fail.

Is it true or not?

Li Yan forced himself to calm down and listen carefully.

Finally, he discovered something strange.

The sound was vague and kept echoing in my ears.

Logically speaking, if grandpa got up and saw that he was not there, he would push the door open and look for him in the house.

The hole he dug was very obvious, right in front of the bed and could be seen at a glance.

The sound echoed left and right, but there was no movement. It was fake!
Li Yan made a judgment immediately, and at the same time felt a chill in his heart.

This Lengtan arrogant soldier actually has this ability?
Not long after, the sound gradually faded away.

Wow!
Suddenly, the sound of the threshold shaking violently was heard again.

It felt like something was shaking the door frantically.

Then, grandpa's voice sounded again.

"who is it?"

"Ahhh, save me!"

The voice was miserable, as if someone had encountered some misfortune.

Li Yan's forehead was covered with sweat after hearing this, and he was also unsure.

How could he dare to gamble on such a thing? !

At this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He raised his mouth and put the bamboo tube used for breathing against his nostrils.

Fortunately, there was an oilcloth on the floor so dust didn't fall into my mouth.

Li Yan took a deep breath through the bamboo tube.

His sense of smell is extremely sensitive. Not only can he smell those special things, but he can also easily distinguish the smell of ordinary things.

The smell of earth, the rotting smell of old furniture, the smell of fried meatballs on the table...

Various flavors are distinguished one by one.

The unique bloody stench of "Blind Third" was also there, but it was very faint and obviously had not entered the yard.

And the smell of grandpa is not in the yard.

Li Yan finally felt relieved, but he cursed inwardly at the same time.

This thing can confuse people, it's so cunning that it's chilling.

If he didn't have spiritual roots, he would have been fooled!
Various sounds came back and forth, and Li Yan relied on his amazing sense of smell to distinguish them, and he was never fooled, but it was still very tiring for him and he was exhausted.

Finally, the sound gradually disappeared and never appeared again.

I don't know how long it took, but I could faintly hear the crowing of a rooster.

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and broke out of the ground.

But as soon as the head emerged from the ground,

I felt a chill in my heart.

The room was dark, and the sky could be vaguely seen through the gaps in the paper-covered windows.

Although it was past midnight, it was clearly not yet time for the rooster to crow.

be cheated!
Li Yan's heart was full of regret.

Unexpectedly, I got into trouble at the last moment.

Boom!
Just then, there was a loud noise outside the yard door.

This time he heard it clearly. It was not an illusion, but something hitting the plaque.

Li Yan no longer hesitated, broke out of the ground, and rushed out of the room with a knife in hand.

According to Widow Wang, this thing will leave when the rooster crows for the first time, at the end of the Chou hour and the beginning of the Yin hour.

The time is almost up, maybe we can hold on with the help of the substitute statue.

Boom!
There was another collision, and the sound was even louder.

Even the wooden door of the yard was shaking.

Li Yan stood with his sword in his hand, murderous intent gathering in his eyes.

As the old saying goes, ghosts are afraid of evil people. He has practiced martial arts for many years, and perhaps with the evil spirit in his chest, he can cause damage to this thing.

"Whoa whoa--!"

At this moment, the big rooster in the house jumped onto the wooden frame, stretched out his neck, and crowed loudly, the sound echoing in all directions.

The banging sound outside the door also stopped abruptly.

At the same time, the neighbor's chickens began to crow.

Through the crack in the door, Li Yan could smell the scent of "Blind Old Third" quickly fading away.

Perhaps due to the clash with the plaque "Mighty in a Hundred Battles", the scent of this "Blind Third Brother" became extremely faint. Wherever he passed, all the dogs in the village stood up and barked.

Even so, Li Yan did not act rashly.

He waited until a hint of paleness appeared in the sky before pushing the door open and going out.

As expected, the big rooster tied to the door died again.

The death was even more miserable than yesterday. It was obvious that the creature had been fooled repeatedly and was very angry.

Li Yan's face was gloomy, and he showed no joy at escaping death.

He had witnessed how cunning and terrifying this thing was last night.

How to deal with it next time?

Click!

The plaque "Mighty in a Hundred Battles" finally couldn't hold on and a long crack appeared from the bottom. At the same time, the smell of incense quickly dissipated.

Li Yan sighed in his heart.

The treasure that guards the house was also destroyed. It was really like a rainy day when it rains.

At this moment, something fell from the crack of the plaque "Mighty in a Hundred Battles" and rolled to the ground with a clanging sound. It was actually three copper coins.

Li Yan picked them up one by one and examined them carefully.

This copper coin has a round shape with a square hole, but the pattern is completely different from the ones we usually use. One side is engraved with a pattern of a god in armor, and there are small runes around it.

On the other side, the sun, moon, and stars are engraved...
