That monk has a dragon [Rebirth]

A lot of things were painted in a mess on that wall, the low ones reached the base of the wall, the tall ones were over my head, and the new ones covered the old ones layer by layer. Only the newly painted ones on the top could see the pattern.

What I'm talking about is the small but very conspicuous "family of three" pattern in the middle.

The moonlight is not very good tonight, so I can only take a rough look at the scribbles on the wall, and just glance at it. Although the pattern is very conspicuous and easy to distinguish among the lines like weeds, it is not easy to see that it is painted with something else

The stones scratched on the wall left white or yellow marks, but the color of those "little people" was very close to the color of the wall, but darker. Looking closer, they looked like they were dipped in water. After the painting is done, there will be traces that are not dry.

But the water mark will dry quickly, it is impossible to stay on the wall for so long.

Si Huai stretched out his hand to touch the pattern, the mark was dry, the wall plaster stuck to his hand was not sticky, nor was it some kind of ink or dye, as if there was something extra on the wall out of thin air.

Wu Nian made a fire book and squatted at the base of the wall to search, but didn't see anything similar to this color, so he sighed lightly, puzzled, and moved the light of the fire to the wall to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, the pattern has changed——

The long-haired little man on the far left who is close to the fire light gradually fades away and disappears like water spots drying up!

Both of them were startled, and hastily turned off the fire, the little man on the left had mostly disappeared, only one hand was left holding the smaller man in the middle.

"It's indeed a water mark, but why can't it be done?" Si Huai stretched out his hand again and touched it. Unless the wall plaster was removed, the pattern would not disappear at all.

"Perhaps... it's the talisman water." Some talismans were burned into ashes and mixed into the water, which can indeed make the drawn things not disappear for a while.

Si Huai turned his head to look at him, and nodded thoughtfully, "Just now you approached with a torch, and the water stains would have dried up... If it was really Fushui, this person wouldn't have come here to burn Dao Fus There are paintings here, there are monks coming and going here from time to time, if it is not erased, it is impossible for no one to notice, does he have to light a fire to dry the water stains after he finishes painting?"

They chased them just now and only saw a group of corpses being driven away, but they didn't see anyone lighting a fire here to dry the childish pictures of children on the wall.

Or are they just suspicious, the pattern of this talisman painting has nothing to do with what happened tonight?

"No..." Wu Nian shook his head several times, "It doesn't have to be fire light, maybe as long as it is hot light, it can make it disappear, such as sunlight."

If this is the case, the person only needs to draw the pattern here, and when the sun comes out and shines on it the next day, it will disappear naturally. without a trace.

"The corpse that no one was chasing happened to pass by here, and there was another pattern drawn by a water talisman on the wall. I'm afraid it's not such a coincidence." Si Huai stretched out his hand and touched his chin, although he couldn't figure out what happened between the two. Contact, but two unusual things together, there is always something strange.

Wu Nian looked back at the direction in which the stiff corpses disappeared, then looked at the remaining half of the talisman marks on the wall, and acquiesced to his words.

Si Huai looked up at the night. I don't know if this bizarre incident has something to do with the Great Barren Mountain, but it is already unrealistic to go to the Great Barren Mountain tonight, and those bodies that jumped away will not come back , I simply went back to the inn with Wu Nian to rest.

It took less than an hour to go and return, Chen Yi in the room had already woken up, two candles illuminated the room thoroughly, the little monk was wrapped in a quilt and huddled in the corner of the bed, staring at the direction of the door vigilantly. , holding a stick in his hand that he didn't know where he found it.

"Uncle Master!" Seeing that the people who came in were Wu Nian and Si Huai, Chen Yi finally let go of his suspended heart. He didn't even care about wearing his shoes, and ran and crawled on Wu Nian.

"What's the matter?" Wu Nian saw that he was nervous and was about to make fun of him, but he was hugged firmly by this for no reason, and his heart softened. He patted his back lightly, and slowed down his voice: "So I'm a big child, can't I be scared after sleeping by myself?"

"Uncle Master..." Chen Yi didn't speak stubbornly, he raised his head and looked at Wu Nian aggrievedly, "I saw a lot of walking corpses jumping on the street, I was afraid..."

Chen was not very courageous in his life, and he usually relied on his uncle to not be afraid when he hunted monsters and ghosts. Tonight, he fell asleep and was awakened by the movement below, and he didn't see the two of them. Some two candles were lit and shrank on the bed, not daring to move.

"I can't see it, you are so cowardly and you will encounter monsters and ghosts in the future, how can you deal with it?" Si Huai clicked his tongue twice, and was about to act as a white-faced role to preach to him, when he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly Asked: "What kind of walking corpse? When did you see it?"

Chen Yi was taken aback by his sudden change of expression, for a moment he forgot the fear just now, and replied in a daze: "I saw it three quarters of an hour ago. I only woke up when I heard strange movements. I thought the two of you were there." Outside, when I opened the door, I saw dozens of walking corpses on the street below! I was so scared that I quickly closed the door and hid back..."

"Are those walking corpses leaning on each other's shoulders and jumping forward?"

"How do you know?" Chen Yi opened his eyes wide and looked at Si Huai, then at Wu Nian who didn't say a word, and suddenly wondered if the two of them were hiding somewhere and saw it but couldn't come out.

Wu Nian dragged Chen back to the bed, ignored his slightly accusing eyes, walked to the window and pushed open the window that also faced the street, leaned out and looked around.

Not even half a ghost.

"It seems that they came here after the town's entrance disappeared. I don't know if there will be that talisman water pattern near here."

If they hadn't been delayed on that wall, they might have met again when they came back earlier.

"You said..." Si Huai didn't know when he walked up to him, and poked his head out. The two of them were side by side, somewhat crowded, but he didn't realize it. He turned to look at me and read: "Did these corpses just happen to be driven past here, or is the 'nest' of the corpse drivers near here?"

Wu Nian dodged back for a while, he still smelled of alcohol, and slowly shook his head.

The people in the town had already turned off the lights and went to sleep. At a glance, there was no place where the lights were on, so it was hard to guess.

People here go to bed early at night, and wake up early the next day. When the sky is getting a little bright, there are various stalls selling goods on the street.

The three of Si Huai walked all the way back from the entrance of the town, and they were a little hungry after tossing around, looking for something to eat early.

After Chen fell asleep again and again last night, Si Huai and Wu Nian searched around in the moonlight, but they couldn't find the pattern painted with talisman water, so they had to go to the entrance of the town before dawn to see for themselves what the pattern was. It's not really going to disappear as soon as the sun shines on it.

It's just that the little monk didn't sleep well after being frightened once, and after waking up, he would have the courage to go out to find them, so he had to take the child with him.

However, this trip was not in vain. The water marks that stayed on the wall overnight did not disappear, but when the sun hit the wall, it slowly disappeared.

But it can only prove that the two of them are not wrong, but it can't prove that the pattern drawn with talisman water is really related to the exorcism of corpses last night. After all, the group of corpses also jumped from the downstairs of the inn, and the streets near the inn There is no such water mark.

The smell of steamed buns that had just been uncovered floated over from twenty paces away, Chen Yi greeted and trotted over, Si Huai shook his head with a smile and wanted to follow him to be a benefactor, but was stopped by an old flower seller nearby clothes hem.

The old woman was sitting on a small chair with a small flat basket on her knees. The basket was full of freshly picked sweet-scented osmanthus, with some blooms after the early morning frost, which was very fragrant.

"Young master, do you want to buy some? The freshly picked ones are very fragrant. You can make tea or use them as lavender." The old woman held a handful up in her wrinkled hands, and the fragrance diffused around. lap.

"Okay, I'll buy some." Si Huai squatted down, and picked it up seriously.

Wu Nian walked a few steps and saw that he didn't keep up, looked at Chen Yi who was waiting for the stall owner to get the buns, turned back behind Si Huai, and only then heard him casually asking the old man about the situation in the town.

The villages and towns near the Great Barren Mountain gradually became populated because of the presence of the imperial court and the celestial gates. However, the wilderness is not prosperous after all, so the young people in the nearby villages and towns went to other places to find work and stayed behind. Some orphans, widows, and uneducated rough men live here comfortably. Fortunately, monks come here from time to time, and occasionally they can earn a few copper coins.

"I don't know if there is any unusual movement at night here?" Si Huai held the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrans in one hand, and turned around to put it in Wu Nian's hands.

"Isn't it all caused by you cultivators?" The old lady hummed dissatisfiedly, then laughed again as if remembering something, seeing that the young man in front of her was not angry, she continued, " There are many spirits and monsters here, so there are many people who come to catch monsters, we ordinary people dare not come out at night."

"That's true." Si Huai didn't have any disappointed expression on his face, he weighed the small half bouquet of sweet-scented osmanthus in his hand, touched a piece of broken silver for her, and then stood up slowly.

I don't know if it was because Huaxiang made his head dizzy or after tossing and tossing for most of the night without rest, he felt a little dizzy when he stood up, but fortunately Wu Nian reached out to support his waist in time, he is a strong and strong young man. Did not fall in front of the elderly.

Wu Nian pocketed a bunch of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers into his sleeve, held Si Huai's arm not very reassuringly, thought for a while, and then asked: "I will know these things when I go back to the inn and ask the shop assistant, why bother to spend money?" Buy something impractical?"

"The guys at the inn have heard a lot, and the news is mixed, so they may not be able to tell the truth better than these ordinary people. Besides, who said that what I bought is useless?"

Si Huaila raised his voice and turned his head to look at him. He picked a nicely cut string from his hand and placed it in the bun, and said with a smile on his face, "Osmanthus fragrans are fragrant and fragrant, which suits my elegance."

Wu Nian was speechless at this sudden boast, and let go of his supporting hand to go to the front to find Chen Yi, but was dragged back by Si Huai calmly.

"Master, didn't you notice that there was something wrong with that old lady?" He lowered his voice and asked next to Wu Nian's ear.

Wu Nian frowned when he said this, and looked back, the old lady was already chatting and laughing with a young woman who just arrived next to her, and there was nothing unusual.

"What breath?" he asked.

"Deadly." Si Huai glanced back, and added: "The woman next to her is more deadly."

Anyway, I'm going to roll around and ask for a comment, I'm flustered when no one cares about me o(╥﹏╥)o
