Sang Que was woken up. It was a rare night of good sleep for her. She did not enter the underworld, nor did she have any strange dreams. Her tired spirit recovered a lot.

Sang Que lifted the thin quilt and sat up, checking the palm of his right hand again. Under the influence of his mind, the mark of the talisman money appeared, and the Gen hexagram that was almost complete was still there.

Sang Que clenched his fists, full of energy, got down from the earthen kang, moved the tables and chairs away, and practiced a set of Eight-Section Brocade in the house to stretch his muscles.

Today she had to wait for Yan Daozi to leave the courtyard before dark, then go to his house to get what Guichou wanted, then escape to the wild woods at the end of the village, kill another person and hang him, then go home! "Yu Niang."

Kou Yushan's voice was heard from outside, and Sang Que opened the door and went out.

"How did you sleep last night? Did anything happen? I brought you some food."

Kou Yushan asked Sang Que with concern, like an elder, and handed him two soft cornmeal buns.

"Master Yan! Something terrible has happened!!"

The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!

"Yes! I suddenly remembered that the He family's youngest son said that he saw the witch that night and that the witch sent her back to him. The witch must be alive again! If the evil-suppression department finds out, they will definitely punish the whole village without asking any questions. You, Taoist Yan, will not survive!"

After locking the door, Yan Daozi said to Sang Que, "You stay here. No one is allowed to come in before I come back. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Kou Yushan opened the new bamboo tube in his hand and handed it to Sang Que. Inside was water that had been boiled and then cooled.

The skinny monkey took a few deep breaths before saying, "Something happened at the Witch Temple. The Witch Queen... is alive!"

Sang Que thought about it and agreed. It was still early and she couldn't keep staring at Yan Daozi all the time. She might as well find something to do first.

Sang Que nodded sullenly with a fearful look. Yan Daozi stared at Sang Que threateningly for a moment before leaving with the skinny monkey.

Yan Daozi glanced at the sun outside, hesitated for a moment, and then went back to his room to get his iron sword, Taoist bell, inkstone and other items.

After making up his mind, Sang Que hung the bamboo tube containing the black dog's blood and the small bag of glutinous rice around his waist, put the book and two talismans given by Yan Daozi in his lapel, took the hatchet and went to find Yan Daozi.

"Don't come near." Kou Yushan protected Sang Que with his arms crossed.

"Who?"

However, he always stays in one place and reduces interaction with the outside world, so he will definitely encounter fewer evil spirits. It can be considered a way of survival.

It is noon now when the Yang energy is the strongest. The chance of Yan Daozi going out is relatively high. The last time he followed Kou Yushan to the ruined temple to capture her was also at noon.

Now there is a wheat monster in the wheat fields. Kou Yushan brings a black dog, together with Shouhou and He Baosheng, and they mainly patrol the wheat fields, the wild woods and the ruined temple.

Sang Que was absent-minded during the morning patrol. Shouhou kept chattering in her ear, but she didn't hear much.

It’s not that evil spirits don’t appear during the day. There may still be unknown evil spirits in some places where the sun doesn’t reach.

"Nothing." Sang Que finished a steamed bun in three or two bites.

In Shouhou's home, he and his mother are the only ones who depend on each other. While he was preparing lunch, he asked Kou Yushan.

"Come in."

Sang Que frowned. She had promised that the time for the celebration would be tonight. If Yan Daozi didn't go out today, she couldn't just go to his house and rob him.

The skinny monkey sighed inwardly, "If it hits a tree, I can take it back and eat it. But now it hits a wheat field, I dare not touch it."

On the way to the wheat field, He Baosheng secretly gave Sang Que two wild plums, saying that He Shouan asked her to bring them to her.

After borrowing a piece of red cloth and a red rope from He Shouhui, Sang Que came to Yan Daozi's yard, glanced at the window on the left that was nailed shut with a wooden board, and went over to knock on the door.

Sang Que was also shocked. What a coincidence? "If you don't believe me, go and have a look. I also saw Xia Chan, the girl. There was blood and ghostly symbols all over the floor. Do you think she was offering sacrifices to the witch?"

The skinny monkey snorted, "He cherishes his life very much. He stays in the yard every day and never comes out. In the past, Ming Zhang ran errands for him. He will definitely send you again in the future."

Although Sangque was far away, he could still see clearly that the wild boar's body was densely covered with layers of long wheat awns, growing out of the flesh. They were blood red in color and undulating and shrinking as if alive.

Woof woof! Woof woof! The black dog suddenly barked and led everyone to run towards the wheat field on the other side of the mountain. When they got close, Sangque saw a large area of ​​fallen wheat field, and inside it was a blood-red wild boar corpse.

Kou Yushan explained to Sang Que, "This is the wheat evil. When anything touches wheat, wheat awns will grow out of the body like needles until the person dies of pain. Even after the person dies, the wheat evil in the body will still be contagious."

Kou Yushan squatted under the stove, stroking the flint to start the fire, "I didn't notice it. What happened to her? What did she tell you?"

After lunch, Sang Que returned to the Liu family yard for a nap. The sun was scorching outside and the cicadas were chirping at the top of their lungs, making her head hurt.

Sang Que pushed the door open and went in. Yan Daozi came out from the room on the right, wiping his hands with a wet rag.

When they are not working in the fields, Murakami's patrol team will split into four groups at dawn every morning, take the village's black dogs, and patrol around the outskirts of the village.

She was indeed a little impatient this time. She didn't expect Yan Daozi to be a homebody who never left the courtyard.

"Eat slowly. If you have nothing to do this morning, just follow me and I'll take you around the village to get familiar with it."

The patrol team is responsible for alerting to these dangers and protecting the safety of the villagers.

Kou Yushan and He Baosheng were patrolling the wheat fields. Sang Que took the opportunity to ask Shou Hou, "Where does Taoist Master Yan usually go?"

…

Their attitude towards Sang Que was indifferent, but they were afraid of Yan Daozi and gave Kou Yushan some face, and they still looked at her with vigilance.

Before Sangque could finish his words, the skinny monkey rushed in from outside, shouting, running out of breath, pointing in the direction of the barren woods with a trembling hand, and unable to utter a word for a long time.

At noon, the group returned to the village to prepare lunch. Sang Que still went to He Baosheng's house to eat. Shouhou was grateful to Kou Yushan for lending him glutinous rice, and he kept taking Kou Yushan to his house for dinner during this period.

When Mingzhang was here, they were willing to let Mingzhang go with them. After all, Mingzhang had real abilities. Unfortunately, Mingzhang didn't want to, and they couldn't invite him.

The skinny monkey complained, "In previous years, the wheat ghost only appeared when the wheat was almost harvested. Ever since Yan Daozi came to Black Mountain Village, he has done very few good things, and bad things have happened one after another."

As long as she adds some more characteristics of Yin Tong, there is still a possibility that Yan Daozi will take the bait, but he is so cunning that it will be easy for him to expose himself.

"I……"

If everything goes well, she'll get what she wants and leave without coming back.

Following Kou Yushan, Sang Que met the members of the Heishan Village patrol team. There were only twelve people in total, all of them were young and strong men in the village.

"This is impossible!" Yan Daozi denied in shock, his eyes trembling.

If Kou Yushan hadn't said that Sang Que followed him in the morning, the others would have immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

Yan Daozi's hands trembled noticeably. Holding obscene sacrifices and worshiping evil gods were taboos in the imperial court, and there were too many examples of entire families being exterminated.

"Why are you being so polite? Just say it."

Knock knock!

"Captain, didn't you notice that your daughter Yu has been absent-minded all morning? It seems like something is wrong."

Now she wanted Yan Daozi to leave. The only way she could think of was to tell Yan Daozi that Liu Caifeng was not dead, and that she had controlled the Yin Tong to seek revenge on him, and asked him to go to the back mountain to dig up Liu Caifeng's grave.

In the morning light, the wheat waves were undulating and golden. Sangque did not see the strange straw man that appeared at night.

The skinny monkey scratched his head, "I don't know. She always looks at Taoist Yan's yard and asks me where Taoist Yan usually goes and why he went out the last few times." Kou Yushan paused while rubbing the flint and frowned in thought. After a moment, Kou Yushan's eyes lit up slightly. He rubbed the flint, put the lit firewood into the stove, stood up and clapped his hands.

"Skinny Monkey, I won't eat. I have to go out for something. Please come and help me with something in half an hour."

In addition, there are some corpse remains exposed in the wilderness, which may be eroded by special evil spirits, turn into zombies, and run to the vicinity of the village.

Yan Daozi narrowed his eyes, "What's wrong?"

No matter what, as long as the plan succeeds and I can go home, it doesn't matter if it's exposed. I will find a way to sever my relationship with Kou Yushan and the others and not implicate them.

The skinny monkey was unconsciously humming the nursery rhyme "Eighteen men, eighteen women" again, but was interrupted by Kou Yushan's slap on the back of the head. The skinny monkey was still shouting that he didn't sing.

"Go and pull up the two black dogs in the village."

"good!"

Sang Que followed them to the gate of the courtyard, and after making sure that they would not come back, he immediately returned to the main house and locked the door from the inside.

Turning around and looking at the house on the left with talisman paper and a lock on it, Sang Que's heart was pounding.
