Chapter 4: Encountered

an evil spirit As soon as Hu Zi said this, everything became silent.

The wind stopped, the fog dissipated, and the yellow-skinned beast was dumbfounded.

Its eyes were wide open, and its eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment.

And I was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

My master had told me many strange stories since I was a child, and he had also told me several times about the yellow-skinned beast’s request for a title. In those stories, the people who were blocked had all kinds of strange answers, but none of them was as... fierce as Hu Zi’s.

Just as I was stunned and at a loss, I heard a strange cry, and the yellow-skinned beast shook all over and fell straight to the ground. As its body twitched, white foam would occasionally come out of the corners of its mouth.

"Why is this old lady so angry? I just scolded her!"

Hu Zi curled his lips and said to me, "Qian Yu, this old lady seems to have had a stroke. Should we carry her back to the village?"

"Carry her for nothing!" I cursed, "That's not an old lady at all, it's a yellow fox." 7K妏敩

"What?" Hu Zi was confused when he heard it and said, "How can it be? I think it's just an old lady. If you don't believe me, come with me to see it."

"Don't look at it, let's go back to the village quickly."

I pulled Hu Zi and ran all the way back to the village. When we arrived at the village, Hu Zi panted and said, "Qian Yu, don't run, my lungs are going to explode."

I looked back and was relieved to see that the yellow fox didn't chase me. I said to Hu Zi, "Go home quickly, don't go out at night, close the doors and windows when you go to bed, and ignore any strange noises you hear tonight."

"Qian Yu, what's wrong with you?" Hu Zi looked puzzled: "Why are you so flustered?"

"Do as I say, hurry up." After I finished speaking, I went home. The yellow-skinned man asking for a title is no small matter. If things go wrong, something serious will happen. I must go back and ask my master as soon as possible.

And in a strict sense, it is no longer a yellow-skinned man, but a Wong Tai Sin with Taoism.

"Then we won't go to watch Widow Wang take a bath?" Hu Zi asked behind me. I ignored him and hurried home.

What I didn't expect was that my master was not at home. I looked around and found a note and some change on the wooden table in the yard.

I picked up the note and took a look, then sat on the chair with a look of astonishment.

An old man passed away in the next door village of Guo, and the master was invited to preside over the funeral. As the saying goes, one should not bury the dead until the seventh day of the lunar month. Today is the seventh day of the lunar month, which means that the master will not be back until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

The master once told me that among the five major sects of fox, yellow, white, willow and gray, the yellow sect is the most difficult to deal with, because the yellow-skinned beast is narrow-minded and the most unreasonable and erratic beast. If

you hurt it a little, it will return you ten times.

If you ruin its good deeds, it will harm your whole family.

I don’t know how long the Huang Daxian has been practicing in the mountains. Today he asked for a title. If the opportunity came, he would have achieved the right result and joined the immortal class. But he was ruined by Hu Zi. I have a hunch that Hu Zi might be in trouble tonight.

But the master is not here. Although I have learned some skills from the master, I have never really used them. He is the legendary Huang Daxian, and I am afraid I am not his opponent.

"Do you want to go to the master tonight?"

It was already past six in the evening, and it was getting dark. Guo Village was about thirty kilometers away from our Zhang Village. If I rode a bicycle, it would take at least two hours to go back and forth. The most important thing was that the master was helping someone with a funeral. Even if I went, I was afraid that the master would not be able to get away.

Every profession has its own rules. As a funeral master, once you take on a funeral, you cannot quit halfway. After all, each funeral master has different rules. If you leave halfway through, other funeral masters will not be able to take over.

I gritted my teeth and thought to myself, never mind. At worst, I will go to find Hu Zi later and sleep with him tonight. If that yellow-skinned guy really dares to retaliate, I can only deal with it as it comes.

I got up and walked under the eaves, and took down a short knife hanging on the eaves.

This short knife is my master's treasure. My master often wipes it and always tells me that this is a precious knife that can kill evil spirits. Usually, monsters will avoid it even if they can sense the aura of this knife, let alone take it out of its sheath.

When I was ten years old, my master hung this short knife under the eaves. Since then, I have rarely seen those dirty things.

I carefully examined the short knife. The knife is 60 cm long and two fingers wide. The sheath is black, cold to the touch, and has a cold luster. There is

a dragon carved on one side of the sheath and a phoenix carved on the other side.

There are two small characters engraved on the handle: Zhanling.

"Zhanling? Is that the name of this knife?" I stroked the blade, and for some reason, when my fingers touched the scabbard, I seemed to feel the blade tremble slightly. That feeling was like a sleeping kitten that was suddenly woken up by someone's touch.

I was shocked and reached out to touch it again, but I didn't feel the same way.

I shook my head and ignored it. After entering the house, I took out my master's brush and cinnabar, cut a few pieces of yellow paper, and then began to draw talismans under the lamp.

Since I was five years old, practicing martial arts and drawing talismans has been my daily compulsory course. I have never missed it for thirteen years.

Now, I have mastered the drawing and use of more than a hundred kinds of talismans, big and small, and now I am going to draw the talisman

for exorcising evil spirits, the talisman for exorcising demons, and the talisman for killing. The talisman for exorcising evil spirits can exorcise evil spirits, and the talisman for exorcising demons can exorcise demons and expel evil spirits. The killing talisman is different from the first two. Among the talisman techniques with minor accomplishments, it is considered a talisman with relatively strong power for killing demons and exterminating evil spirits.

Drawing talismans consumes a lot of energy and spirit, and requires a smooth and seamless process. When I drew the killing talisman, my forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and when the last stroke of the killing talisman fell, I slowly exhaled the breath that was held in my chest.

I fell down on the chair, and it took me a long time to catch my breath. After putting away the talisman, I wanted to go to Hu Zi directly, but my stomach started to growl. Then I remembered that from the afternoon till now, I hadn't even had a mouthful of rice, let alone a mouthful of water.

I cooked a bowl of noodles and ate a bite. After eating, it was already past eight o'clock. I didn't care about cleaning up the dishes. I grabbed the soul-chopping knife and rushed to Hu Zi's house.

But just halfway through, I suddenly heard a dog howl, and then the dog howls came one after another, and in the noisy dog ​​howls, there was also a woman's scream.

"Is it Widow Wang?" I was stunned. Hu Zi's family and Widow Wang's family are neighbors, and the two houses are separated by a mud wall. Could it be that Hu Zi had an accident and frightened Widow Wang?

As soon as I thought of this, I quickly ran to Widow Wang's house, but when I arrived at the door of Widow Wang's house and saw the scene in the yard, I was stunned.

"Auntie Wang, what are you doing..."

In the moonlight, I saw a mature and plump woman wearing only an ultra-thin gauze pajamas, standing in the yard and shivering. Her eyes were wide open, full of fear, one hand covering her mouth, and the other hand pointing in the direction of the corner.

I looked in the direction of her finger, and when I saw the scene in the corner clearly, I was also shocked.

I saw a naked person squatting in the corner, pinching a dog's neck with both hands, opening his mouth, and biting the dog's neck.

"Hu... Hu Zi?"
