Copper Coins Chapter 39: The troupe (4)
The climate in this area is cloudy and humid, and the snow does not accumulate as fast as that. It only covers the mountain road with a thin layer. It has been repeatedly trampled by people who have come and gone, and some places have become thin ice, which is very slippery. The leading horse was still neighing constantly, and it was only after a whiplash that it was willing to move a few steps, walking intermittently.
But even if this speed is slow, it is only a circle of time on the mountain road, and it is time to reach the place where the large and small gravels are piled up.
"They really... don't know?" Jiang Shining froze his neck, looking like he was stunned, waiting for Xue Xian or Xuan Min to answer.
Xue Xian said: "If it is true that they are unconscious, it is not. Look at them—"
He picked his chin at random in front of the car: "The horse hasn't stopped until now. When he crossed the broken bridge to change roads, the scarred face and the old man Li were both embarrassed and reluctant. , most of them still have some rejection of this place in their hearts."
Man, when you feel some misfortune, you always want to avoid it subconsciously.
This ancestor has inconvenient legs, but not to mention sitting quietly. He couldn't stand and bend over to look out of the car, so he leaned across the seat and looked out of the curtain. Xuan Min had to lean back against the wall of the car to make room for him. The hand that was given to this ancestor to enjoy the cool air before has become the one that helped him maintain his balance, supporting the weight of his entire upper body.
In the beginning, I was shoveled back out of the idea of receiving the demon, but now we get along like this, it is really unpredictable...
Jiang Shining sat on the seat, his fingers pinching his robe showed his uneasy mood.
Lu Twenty-seven's knee happened to touch him, and he could feel his movement. He couldn't help but glanced at his almost blind eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've seen a ghost who is afraid of ghosts."
"..." Jiang Shining said angrily, "This is not the time for you to cry under the cemetery, right?"
Lu Twenqi was stunned by him, snorted, and turned his head away, but did not continue to mock.
He is young, and he is not really brave, but he has a stubborn temper. He has the temperament of a young man who wants to save face. He usually pretends to be bold as much as possible, but the underground tomb of the grave head island is beyond his tolerance. Unmasked.
Compared to him, Lu Shijiu has been able to see many things that ordinary people can't see since he was very young.
At this time, Twenty-seven combined the temperament of Nineteen, so he was so calm.
It's just that he calmed down, and Jiang Shining calmed down a bit after being laughed at, so he was bitter.
As soon as he heard that Jiang Shining was also a ghost, his whole person was not very good. He stared at the green peas and scanned the car without saying a word. There were five "people" in this car. Except for him, the other four were all ghosts and snakes. The carriages, the people and horses pulling the carts, and there is no living creature...
My dear mother, what a day you have been through!
Stone Zhang wanted to cry, but he hugged the hand warmer and pressed his head against the wall of the car, as if he could slap his big-bellied quail-like body flat with a little more force. Presence is minimized.
"One more point -" Xue Xian stared outside the curtain and said, "Wait for the carriage to move forward two steps."
The entire convoy moved forward for a while during this talk. The pile of gravel that needed to be seen from a distance was pulled closer a little, and it seemed that it was almost at the foot. When their carriage reached the top of the gravel, they flipped out of the carriage, and they could follow the edge of the cliff, go down the mountain road gently and skillfully, and land on the pile of gravel.
And the closer you get to the rubble, the more restless the horses that pull the cart. I could hear the scar-faced man's shuffling and scolding. I don't know if everyone was too sensitive, and the scar-faced man's tone became more and more impatient. The car in front was not as quiet as before, and there were constant voices. It was passed in a thin thread.
It's hard to feel at ease in this atmosphere.
"...Will they also hook their heads to look down the mountain road on a whim?" Jiang Shining couldn't help but asked.
"No." Xuan Min replied succinctly.
He used to speak succinctly, rarely explaining anything, only picking the most important parts. This decisive and straightforward style can comfort people at this time, because there is no room for doubts.
Jiang Shining felt more at ease, but Shitou Zhang subconsciously asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"Because they are afraid of themselves! How come there are so many problems." Xue Xian still stared out of the car, without looking at him, and habitually said: "I think your whole body is probably only the tongue is lean, If you move hard, it's also quite suitable for a drink."
Drinking...
Xuan Min frowned: "..."
This ancestor is just scolding people, and it has to be disgusting and disgusting onlookers.
He glanced out of his sight, raised his other hand and patted Xue Xian's shoulder: "I'll get off the bus."
Xue Xian was stunned for a moment, then turned his face and said, "Are you here?"
Xuan Min let out an "um", lest he would sit in this car and have to listen to some people babbling nonsense from time to time and saying things that couldn't be over-thinking, and it would not be a problem if he didn't eat for more than ten days.
"Can you do it?" Xue Xian narrowed his eyes, "It will only take you one lap to grind this carriage again? You have time?"
Xuan Min pressed his shoulders neither lightly nor heavy, making him move away from the curtain, and sat upright and returned to his position without blocking the way. Then, he took off the string of copper coins from his waist and lifted his foot over Xue Xian.
He is very tall, and the roof of the car is a little short, so that he had to bend halfway, supported by the hand held by Xue Xian, and then stepped out of the car, dressed in a monk's robe like a It was like a snowstorm that passed by the door, but it disappeared with a flick.
The stone sticking to the wall of the car stayed for a while, and then quickly lifted the curtain, and saw that the white figure like a cloud and snow had turned down from the edge of the cliff, silently, not even a single gravel never followed.
Everyone in the car was shocked by Xuanmin's dusty appearance, except for Xue Xian...
He tutted, thinking in his heart to be so-so, slightly worse than himself.
Thinking about it, he still moved his body and occupied Xuan Min's original position. He lifted the curtain and stared motionlessly at Xuan Min's actions on the mountain road.
Xuan Min stood stably on the top of the gravel, and stepped on the tip of the stone, which was less than a palm. He raised his head and glanced at the mountain wall - between the mountain road on the upper floor and the mountain road on this layer, the mountain wall was missing a huge piece, and it seemed that the mountain road on the upper layer was also crumbling. similar.
The missing parts are now piled up under Xuan Min's feet. These rubble, about half the height of a person, fell from the top so suddenly, not to mention the wooden carriage, even the iron one can be smashed and deformed.
Except for the corners of the carriage and the blue cloth curtain, the rest were pressed firmly under the stone, and it was almost out of shape. Even if people dig it out, it is definitely not neat.
Xuan Min pondered for a moment and then made up his mind.
Xue Xian was not the only one staring at his every move, Shitou Zhang and Jiang Shining were both leaning against the curtain, and even Lu Nianqi couldn't help but glanced at him.
"What are you hooking on?" Xue Xian glanced at the boy and said angrily, "After sleeping for a few days, can your eyes see something normally?"
Lu Twenqi said lukewarmly, "Thank you for worrying about it, but unfortunately, it's more vague."
The more blurry he sees, the more blind his eyes are, the more he sees qi, and the outline formed by qi is naturally not as clear.
Actually, Xue Xian is quite curious. For his divine creature with natural eyesight far beyond ordinary people, it is actually quite hard to imagine what Lu Shijiu... .
"As far as your distance is concerned, there is basically no distinction between humans and animals." Lu Twenqi answered him casually, describing his eyesight.
Just...
This doesn't sound like personal words, it's more like a roundabout run on people.
"You are capable." Xue Xian snorted briefly from his nose, raised his eyes and continued to look at Xuan Min.
From his point of view, his eyesight is enough to see all of Xuan Min's movements.
It is said that knives, especially some legendary demon knives, need to be awakened with blood. Once awakened, they will be cold and snow blades, which can cut wind and water. Xuan Min's copper coins had neither cutting edge nor sharp edge, and for some reason, he always had to wake up with blood.
Xue Xian saw that he made a cut on his finger again, and wiped the edge of the copper coin with his fingertips.
As soon as I heard the sound of "hum", those copper coins seemed to come to life, trembling slightly, and making a sobbing sound in the wind and snow, vague and empty. Hearing this voice, Xue Xian felt a little discomfort in his ears, and frowned slightly.
Xuan Min placed the five copper coins in the center of his left hand in the center of the south, east, north, and west, and touched a few pieces of yellow paper for drawing talismans from his arms, but the paper was empty and there was no pattern.
He bent over, folded the yellow paper, and pressed four sheets on the gravel under his feet in the direction of north, south, east, and west. Then, he turned the copper coins in the palm of his left hand with his fingers, and his pale lips slightly opened and closed, as if he had read a scripture.
It's not like a whole sentence, it's more like a short word.
Those copper coins are obviously just on the palm, but they seem to be rooted and difficult to turn.
Xuan Min finished reciting the Sanskrit-like word, and slowly turned the talisman on the east side. During the process of turning the talisman on the east side, a thin bloodstain suddenly appeared on the talisman paper, as if there was a Only the invisible hand was dipped in cinnabar with a pen and was steadily drawing the talisman.
The complicated patterns were completed in one go, and Xuan Min took the pen after turning the whole copper coin half a circle.
Then the south;
Then north;
To the west...
At the moment when the four talismans were completely completed, a gust of wind rose up on the ground, roaring like tigers and wolves. The heavy felt curtain was stirred by the wind, and it shivered, crackling on Shizhuang's face several times.
"..." Shito Zhang felt that he was really unlucky. He wiped his face, which was a little painful, and raised his hand to lift the curtain. When it arrived, the windows of the car were exposed to the wind without any cover, and the chill and fine snow rolled in by the strong wind poured in.
The fine snow was cold and thorny, blowing stones Zhang Jiang Shining could hardly open his eyes.
They blinked twice and covered their foreheads with their hands halfway before they could see the scene on the mountain road again.
"Heh—" Shito Zhang gasped in shock.
Seeing that the gust of wind brought by Xuan Min directly copied the mountain road to the bottom, the gravel and the carts and horses under it all floated into the air, completely supported by the wind, and moved toward the void on the side.
Just when the whole mess was completely suspended in the air, Xuan Min, who was still standing on the top of the gravel, raised his left foot and stepped on it gently.
All the gravel chariots and horses under his feet suddenly fell into the deep valley as if they had been subjected to a thousand forces.
After a while, I heard a faint "rumbling" muffled sound coming from the valley.
Stone Zhang said stupidly, "He's going to blow up the mountain?"
"Then I should have dragged you to the bombing." Xue Xian stopped him angrily and said, "I guess it's buried on the ground."
As Xue Xian guessed, the huge impact of the gravel falling to the ground should not be underestimated. Before they actually hit the ground, the wet mud in the valley was smashed into a deep pit. The corpse just happened to fall into the deep pit, and the gravel just happened to be piled up into a grave bag.
The exposed stone core was stained with fine snow stirred by the wind. When the dust finally settled, it revealed a faint pale white, like a layer of loess tomb. paper money.
When Xuan Min took back the copper coins, he slashed a fire inch and burned the pieces of yellow paper.
It's a simple funeral...
He raised his hand to wipe off the trace of blood left on the copper coin, hung it back on his waist, and bowed to the head of the stone tomb, quietly performing a Buddhist ritual.
The hem of the monk's robe, like clouds and snow, was blown up and down by the wind, and with a few swipes, he disappeared into the deep valley forest.
As far as Xuan Min was concerned, it was no more difficult to climb up the cliff than to climb down. After a few ups and downs, he had already reached the level of the mountain road where the gravel had fallen. The carriage finally made a full turn and was turning this way. The voice of the scar-faced man also came along, and the leading horse only needed to move a few steps before showing his face.
In order to avoid being seen by the scar-faced man, Xuan Min lifted his foot and climbed up the cliff. Pressing two people, can't see the head and face.
This pile of rubble happened to be blocked by the jagged mountain wall, and the place where it fell before Xuanmin could not be seen at all.
Looking at that, I'm afraid that after the convoy was crushed by the gravel, two legs and feet ran out faster, and as soon as they ran behind the mountain wall, they were smashed by another wave of gravel. on.
The carriage was about to come, and it was too late for Xuan Min to swipe down to draw the talisman.
At this critical moment, a black dragon emerged from the other side of the mountain road.
Xue Xian!
What this ancestor did was quite powerful, and he saw two mysterious thunders slashing straight down, crashing on the top of the stone that was pressing on the person. The stones exploded and turned into countless powders. The black dragon was wrapped in a strong wind without a sound, and when the dragon head swept away, the strong wind rolled down the cliff with people and stone powder, and passed through the pine forests.
Call—
The wind is still and the trees are still.
When the remaining two fell into the valley, the stone dust covered them like sand, not showing the slightest bit.
"U--" The scarred-faced man was startled by the gust of wind, he pulled the reins, and when the wind passed, he swung the whip again.
As the manic horses walked up the mountain pass, they saw the empty ground and settled down. The horse's hooves were knocking on the mountain, walking through the mountain road that Xuan Min had handled, and turning towards the back of the abrupt mountain wall.
Xue Xian was unable to move his lower body and was unconscious. With his upper body, he went straight up the mountain wall and landed himself on the upper mountain road, temporarily avoiding the sight of the scar-faced man.
Unexpectedly, the tail didn't settle down. When the scar-faced man rode the carriage around the mountain wall, the tip of the unfortunate tail slid down from the edge of the cliff and hung half-dead. It happened to hang on in front of the team.
Scarface man: "..."
Xue Xian: "..."
Xuan Min, who stayed on the same level as Xue Xian on the mountain road, was silent, walked to the ancestor's tail silently, and silently brought back the tip of his tail that was blocking the way...
