the last priest

Chaozi kicked hard, he thought it was something like vines that entangled him, but his professional sensitivity made him realize that it was more like a hand.Although he can be reckless and impulsive at times, what a scout has taught him is composure and calm in the face of danger.

He quietly moved the gun on his back to the front of his body, and at the same time unfastened the belt on his waist and fastened it to the tree. Dashan was still wondering why Chaozi had been messing around, when suddenly there was a gunshot at his heels Dirt splashed.

Da Shan stepped back subconsciously and shouted: "What the hell! I almost jumped my head!" When he raised his head, he saw a white ball falling from the sky, "What the hell!" All of a sudden, it covered Dashan's head and made a mess.

Hearing the commotion over there, Zha Wenbin and Tang Yuanshan hurried over, only to see that Chaozi was removing the white cloth from Dashan's head, holding it in his hand, it was a piece of clothing.

A long white coat, very dirty, with blood stains on it but dried up, and a bullet hole, which was shot by Chaozi. How could such a thing fall off?

Chaozi handed the long coat to Zha Wenbin and said, "There is something strangling my feet, Brother Wenbin, I think it is a dirty thing."

Uncle Chang said nervously, "Don't talk nonsense."

"A body distance away from me, as long as I'm alive, I can feel breathing, but you see." Chaozi rolled up his trouser legs, and a trace of five claws was shocking.

Cha Wenbin put the clothes under his nose and smelled them, then tore off a small piece and set it on fire. After a ball of fire, it instantly turned into ashes. He dipped his fingers in the ash and rubbed it carefully.

"How is it?" Tang Yuanshan asked.

"It's been a few years since you died, maybe something unclean is causing it, Chaozi, is there anything wrong with your legs?"

"It's all right."

Cha Wenbin took out a talisman and said to Chao Zi: "Then go up again, I will show you, and carefully check if there is anything else on the tree branch. this."

Chaozi took the talisman and continued to push up. At this moment, four or five flashlights were shining, and several pairs of eyes watched Chaozi climb up.

A few minutes later, Chaozi called from the tree: "There is something! Two little chicks, and a few bones."

"Wrap them all up and bring them down together."

The two chicks are about the size of ordinary domestic chicken chicks.

"I've been holding it in my hands all the time. These two things are really not good birds. They are so fierce that my skin will be opened when they are pecked."

There was still a pile of bones, and Chaozi and the bird's nest were also taken down together, and they shook to the ground, and everyone's face turned pale.The femur and skull can be clearly distinguished. What is it if this is not a human remains?

"The bones let them gnaw cleanly. It was a mistake for you not to let me kill that bird. It is such a good thing to eat human flesh. Fortunately, it has not been plucked and stewed. If you know that it eats human flesh, you will vomit to death."

Cha Wenbin said: "I'll dig a hole and bury it later. The white phoenix is ​​a ghost bird. Naturally, it eats corpses, and they have to be corpses in the grave."

"Did the two little ones be buried together?"

"Take it, it's useful! Maybe it's the person who grabbed your leg just now. He may have good intentions to fear that you will be eaten by birds. Bury it well and don't fool others."

Zhuo Xiong took the pair of chicks and said with a smile: "Buy them well, don't let people have any objections and come to you at night."

"roll!"

That night, Cha Wenbin stayed outside the tent all night, the sky seemed to be joking with him, and the cloud never dissipated.Without astrology, half of a Feng Shui bureau is missing, so I can only quietly count on tomorrow night.

The injured white phoenix is ​​much quieter with its chicks. For it, eating corpses is the same as the vultures on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is just the law of its survival.People can hate other people's habits, but you have to respect the basics of other people's existence.

In the early morning of the second day, the first ray of sunlight made Cha Wenbin, who was sleepy and struggling, a little excited. The location where the beam of light hit was on a hillside opposite.The terrain is relatively flat, with little ups and downs, so it might be a good place to bury people.Thinking that the position of the sun will not change much tomorrow, I got up and called a group of people and started to walk through the dense jungle. After half a day of trekking, I finally arrived at the destination.

To Cha Wenbin's disappointment, there were hard rocks under his feet. There were low shrubs growing here, and there were no graves that could be used in the naturally formed rocks. The situation was similar not only here, but also within a few miles around.

This night, some people are destined to have a hard time, and Tang Yuanshan is one of them.

He anxiously accompanied Zha Wenbin. The Taoist priest hadn't closed his eyes for two whole days. He lay flat on the ground, staring at the hazy sky without blinking.Today, clouds and fog are still the main theme, and the mountain wind is accompanied by the "huhu" of the bonfire. Zhuo Xiong adds firewood from time to time, and more than once he wants to ask: What's wrong with you?

"Do you have any clues?" Tang Yuanshan asked, this is related to the family's rise and fall for a century, and it is the most urgent thing right now.

"No."

"You have to think of a way, I'm counting on you."

"wait."

Tang Yuanshan couldn't hold on any longer, he got into his sleeping bag first, and Dashan came to take the second shift at Zhuoxiong Station, and it was almost twelve o'clock now.

He took a coat and put it on Zha Wenbin: "Brother, go to sleep. This is what they asked us to do. If we can do it, we can do it. If we can't, there is nothing we can do. Don't let yourself collapse."

"Dashan, next year I won't be a Taoist priest, let's go to your original place together."

Dashan patted the back of his head foolishly and said, "I can go anywhere, just listen to brother Wenbin, but you really don't want to be a Taoist anymore?"

Cha Wenbin flicked the Seven Star Sword in his hand and said, "I don't want to do it anymore, it's time to spread the word, let that boy Hetu take over."

"Is he still young?"

"It's almost there. I also accepted it when I was his age. The master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. The way of Taoism depends on understanding. He has that talent. If he doesn't go astray in the future, he will make a name for himself. Go back Now, find someone to tell you and the two of them that you are a daughter-in-law, and they are too old, and it's time to start a family and start a business."

"Daughter-in-law? Hehe." Dashan felt a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands together and said, "I never thought about it, I'm uneducated, I'm a rough person, who would like to follow."

"Reliability is more important than anything else. If I'm not around one day, I'll go to those two brothers if I have something to do. This person has a sinister heart, and they are very cunning and will help you."

"Brother Wen Bin, what are you talking about? You are so capable, I feel more at ease following you."

"I..." Zha Wenbin hesitated to speak, his fate had already fallen, and after all, there were still three months at most, and when the time came, he would finally be on his way.

Da Shan stood up and shouted loudly: "Look, the moon is out!"

Sure enough, the layer of clouds that had covered the entire night for two nights began to gradually dissipate, and a hole was broken in a cloud in the huge sky. The moon was hidden behind, and it was about to stand out.

At this moment, the white phoenix that had been hanging up suddenly stood up and let out a long cry towards the night sky.Cha Wenbin looked back and saw that the bird had stood up and tried to flap its injured wing several times, but it had no choice but to flop around on the spot because its feet were hanging by the rope.

Cha Wenbin asked, "What day is it today?"

"How did I know this..."

"Ming" is another long call, this time it stretches its neck louder and more persistently, like a soldier blowing a charge horn, stretching and long.Bai Fenghuang's cry is inherently sad, and it is more appropriate to say it is a horn than a mulberry.

Cha Wenbin quickly pinched his fingers: "Fourteen, today is July fourteenth."

"Damn it, no matter how ghostly I am, I'll kill you, and I won't be able to sleep well!" Chaozi got up cursing while wearing his clothes. Not only him, but everyone else was woken up by the bird call, and they all got out of the tent. Li got up.

Chaozi was already a bit aggressive, now he ran towards the white phoenix with a dagger in his hand, first he slapped the bird hard on the head, then lifted its feet upside down and shouted: "Eating people, I told you to eat people, I peeled your skin and fed it to your two little ones!"

"Wait, don't mess around!" Cha Wenbin shouted.

"Why keep it, it's the same as crying for mourning."

"what time is it now?"

Chaozi rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "A few seconds to twelve."

"That's right, fifteen! Today is July and a half, Ghost Festival! Look!"

As soon as the words fell, the cloud hole was completely opened, and a beam of moonlight scattered down the sky, shining white and shining on about half an acre of land in the valley.This group of light is like a lamp post, too conspicuous and too weird.

"Quick, remember that place!" Before it was too late, Zha Wenbin shouted excitedly: "The first ray of autumn wind, I understand, it's not the sun, but the moonlight!"

Slowly, the clouds in the sky began to close again, and in less than a minute, the world fell into darkness again.The white phoenix was restlessly held in Chaozi's hands, and its cries echoed in the vast night sky for a long time.The mourning horn starts to blow, and the carnival belonging to that world is about to begin...
