Copper Coins

Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi, one senior and one junior, were silent for a moment, and at the same time turned to look behind them.

As soon as this evil barrier opened his mouth, it was as if he was telling a ghost story.

"The Yaolang in your county are not small." Jiang Shining said with a dry laugh.

Lu Nianqi said: "It's not like this usually here, but recently, for some reason, it's always foggy."

Jiang Shining laughed dryly again: It wouldn't be any better if it wasn't foggy

"No, it's all right for this brat to feel cold behind his back, you nerd, why are you looking at your back?" Xue Xian said angrily, "Can ghosts still be afraid of ghosts?"

Lu Nianqi stopped looking behind him, and instead stared at Jiang Shining.

"Please be reasonable." Jiang Shining said slowly, "Ordinary people are still afraid of bandits and robbers. Why can't I be afraid of ghosts?"

Lu Nianqi looked down at the treated wound on his palm, and then at Jiang Shining's body that would collapse in the wind, and decided that Jiang Shining should be the kind that is easier to deal with among ghosts, and not threatening.

"It seems that there is another sentence, do you hear it?" Xue Xian said quietly, "It's very light..."

He probably wanted to make sure that Xuan Min really didn't speak, so when he said this, he turned his head up to the sky, facing Xuan Min with his hot eyes and bloody face, his two eyes dotted with thick ink remained motionless.

Xuan Min: "..."

His gaze fell on Xue Xian, and he closed it as soon as he touched it. He calmly and decisively stretched out his hand to cover the entire face of that wicked person, "You are probably the only one who is haunted here."

Xue Xian clicked his tongue impatiently: "Did I stick my head out for you to move around? I don't want my hands anymore!"

Jiang Shining slowly made up the knife at the side: "To be fair, you should be the one who suffers if you fight with the master's hand with your face. After all, your paper head will fall off as soon as you tear it off."

Xue Xian: "..." There are always some [-] in this world who stand in the enemy's camp at critical moments.

He didn't push Xuan Min's hand away in a hurry, but listened for a while in the darkness with his face covered, but he never heard the chanting sound very similar to Xuan Min's.So he had some self-doubt for a while: Could it be true?

"Forget it, it's not a problem to always stick here." Xue Xian stretched out two paper paws, slapped the back of Xuan Min's hand for a while, and finally swept away the bald donkey who was in the way, "Keep walking, It is important to find someone, I will remind you if I hear any strange noises again."

As for himself, it is more meaningful to continue hatching eggs than to fight with bald donkeys.

After finishing speaking, he rolled back to the bottom of the dark bag, lay silently on the golden bead, and moved slightly following the footsteps of the bald donkey.

To be honest, Xuan Min walked more quietly than a ghost, and was smooth and steady. To Xue Xian, this little movement was almost nonexistent.The golden beads under his body had been covered in the dark pocket for a while, and it had already warmed up, closer to Xuan Min's body temperature, which was quite comfortable for the paper skin whose heart was cold when the wind blew, barely enough suitable for living.

Xuan Min squatted down and carefully looked at the wet mud covered with fallen leaves.

Lu Nianqi followed suit and squatted down.This kid is not very old, but it can be seen that he is an independent person, probably because he lost his father at a young age, he is more inclined to do it by himself than relying on others for help.Even if he doesn't know how to do it, he still has to watch and learn all the time, it seems that he can barely feel at ease in this way.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Shining glanced at the boy and couldn't help asking.

Lu Nianqi didn't raise his head, and said stiffly: "I don't know." The dog's eyes were almost blind and he didn't see any clues.

Xuan Min stretched out his hand and caressed a few fallen leaves in front of his feet, since he had to use sackcloth to cover his hands when shoveling moss, it was very unlikely that he would actually touch those dead leaves.Lu Nianqi also secretly touched the fallen leaves, but found nothing except wet mud.He glanced suspiciously at Xuan Min's side face, wiped his fingers on the corner of his clothes silently, and stood up.

In his eyes, Xuan Min's actions were really a bit of a sham, and it was not effective to have a posture.He is used to being defensive, and he has the stink of youthful rebelliousness. He always feels that there are too few reliable people in this world, and there are more selfish villains and big fools with water in their heads.

The villain is like himself, and the big fool is like his father who died early.

He admitted that he was heartless, and earlier he had yelled that Xuan Min and the others must take him with him, but now he began to wonder if Xuan Min was just being airless.He even glanced at the black-covered boat on the shore, planning to go back to the boat if it didn't work, and go to the island after the fog cleared.

As a result, when he looked away, he happened to meet Jiang Shining's gaze.

After all, he was still young, for a moment Lu Nianqi felt guilty for no reason, but soon he looked back confidently.Jiang Shining had already turned his gaze away, waiting for Xuan Min to speak.

Xuan Min stood up silently, lightly brushed the monk's robe that was not stained with dirt, and took out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom.

"……"here we go again!

Lu Nianqi couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart: Is this monk planning to use this trick to take over the world?

Unexpectedly, this time Xuan Min did not do the thing of "manipulating anything with the paper talisman". The wind twisted a bean fire.

Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi were on their respective sides, watching him in bewilderment as he lit the talisman paper with fire.

In the eyes of these two people, this oil-yellow talisman paper was no different from the yellow paper used for offering sacrifices to the dead.

With a flick of Xuan Min's finger, the paper scroll instantly disintegrated into fine paper dust, which was blown to the front by the wind.

Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi looked like two quails, one big and one small, staring at the paper ashes falling in the forest with their sleeves in their hands.As the paper dust fell to the ground, a row of footprints suddenly appeared on the muddy ground where there were no traces.

Different from the usual footprints that step on each hole, this row of footprints is marked by those paper dusts, which cover the mud surface lightly, as if the owner of these footprints only touched the ground with every step.

"It doesn't look like a person walking out, it's hanging and touching." Jiang Shining couldn't help but said.

Lu Nianqi: "..."

He suddenly regretted going to the island with these people, and none of them spoke normally.

"What did you hang and touch?" Xue Xian was really torn between staying at the bottom of the dark bag. On the one hand, he couldn't help but want to know what Xuan Min and the others did, and on the other hand, he couldn't bear to part with the gold that sank at the bottom of the bag. beads.He always felt that during these few words, Jin Zhu became warmer, even slightly higher than Xuan Min's body temperature.

But the difference was so subtle that he couldn't be sure.

"Vald donkey." Xue Xian shouted holding his beads.

Xuan Min: "..."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xue Xian bothered him again and again: "Bald donkey, bald donkey."

Xuan Min: "..."

Xue Xian rolled his eyes and shouted, "Xuan Min! Let's discuss something!"

Xuan Min responded indifferently: "Say."

"Don't you like to tear off the hem of your clothes? Let's talk about it. Don't tear off the hem, but tear this pocket instead?" Xue Xian was well-founded and well-organized. At the same time as Jinzhu, it’s also good to stretch your head.”

Xuanmin promised that there would be ghosts.

He replied coldly: "You can't control yourself, the paper skin neck is not strong, and it will break after hanging it out for a while. I won't collect the paper doll's body."

The implication: to stay cool while staying, it's just nonsense.

He stopped talking nonsense with Xue Xian, strode forward along the footprints, Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi hurriedly followed.

Xue Xian was angry for a while in his dark pocket, and then he cheated unwillingly.This evil person has lived for so many years, and he doesn't even know how to write the words "restraint" and "safety".He rolled his arms around the golden bead twice, and finally hung his fragile neck on the mouth of the bag, but he was still holding the golden bead in his hand, and the neck was hung very reluctantly, a bit stretched by his body. suffering.

His sharp moves are far beyond what ordinary people can compare.After hanging up for a while, he suddenly said, "There is something under the tree."

Xuan Min paused.He only felt that the feng shui of this Fengtou Island was very awkward, and he couldn't tell what was wrong. It seemed that someone had tampered with it, but there was no trace of artificial carving on the surface.So along the way, except for scanning the footprints from the corner of his eye, he focused all his attention on the layout of the wild forest, and never stared at the ground.

As soon as Xue Xian made a sound, he asked, "Which plant?"

"Front left, the one with the cracked trunk."

It was an old tree about three zhang away from them, and the branch seemed to have been split by thunder and fire, and a big mouth was split.However, such trees are not uncommon in the barren mountains and wild forests, so they can be regarded as common.Xuan Min lifted his feet and walked over, rummaged around the roots of the tree for a while, and finally saw a length of rope that was almost the same color as the soil in a very inconspicuous place. The rope seemed to be torn by force. Also with a knot.

"Eh?" Lu Nianqi on the side asked a question, and picked up the piece of rope.Regardless of the dirty mud, he just held the knot and carefully identified it for a moment, then frowned and said, "This seems to be the rope used by my family to string money."

"Are you sure?" Jiang Shining was a little surprised, "You can recognize him in this way?"

"I made this knot, which is different from other people's." Lu Nianqi flicked the knot over, "Look."

Xuan Min glanced at the mud on the top, and silently stepped aside.

Lu Nianqi held it up for them to look at for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Isn't all the money in my house stolen! Why did the rope fall here?!"

Just when he finally realized that something was weird, something hit his knee.

Hearing the sound of "咚——", Lu Nianqi couldn't react in time, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.

This unexpected kneeling was not light, and he didn't know what kind of trap he fell into.I don't know where there is an organic reed "hum" in the ear, and the people's feet are suddenly empty.

The sudden feeling of falling is accompanied by the "cracking" sound of stones rubbing against each other, making people dizzy and confused.

During the rapid fall, Xue Xian paid respect to Xuan Min for the first time.Because the goddamn bald donkey was able to control the balance in the air, and he didn't know what to use to slow down the falling speed, so that when he landed, he actually stabilized his body and didn't roll into a ball on the ground.

So, the moment he landed on the ground, Xue Xian, whose neck was hanging by the mouth of the bag and had no time to put it away, felt his head suddenly drop.

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's the crow's mouth of that bald donkey, it's fucking broken!

Xuan Min stood up straight in the darkness, vaguely feeling that something had floated to the ground just now.

"Ouch..."

"Hiss—my hand is about to break."

"What the hell is this place? I fell a little dizzy."

"Master? Master Xuan Min, are you still there?"

Hearing Jiang Shining and Lu Nianqi's screams of pain beside him, Xuan Min responded with a "hmm" and lit a piece of talisman paper.

With the light of the paper fire, he lowered his eyes for a glance, and happened to meet the eyes of the paper head that had fallen to the ground.

Only the head.

Xuan Min: "..."
