Cannon Fodder Slap Guide [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 69 Zhuang Sheng Xiaomeng 02
Tong Lin stood stiffly in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, then slowly approached, and waved at the bronze mirror.
However, his figure did not appear in the mirror.
After confirming again and again, Tong Lin had to believe the facts in front of him. The bronze mirror was indeed a mirror surface, and all the furnishings displayed in the room could be reflected in it. Only himself, as if he did not exist, could not be reflected by the mirror anyway.
Tong Lin subconsciously tapped on the mirror with his fingers, and with the clicking sound, unconsciously murmured: "This is too supernatural."
After another failed attempt to contact Xitong, Tong Lin gave up.He found clean clothes from the closet. The complicated clothes with long sleeves made him quite distressed for a while. After changing, he pushed the door out again, wanting to replenish some energy for his body.
The sky that had been sunny and blue just now was now covered with lead ink, and the light rain fell from the sky, and the breeze was also wrapped in bursts of chill, blowing through Tong Lin's weak body in an instant.
He had no time to lament the changing weather, seeing the paper people standing under the eaves to hide from the rain, he summoned them into the house.
"Where's the kitchen?" Tong Lin asked the paper people.
A paper man took out an oil-paper umbrella from a drawer in the room and held it in front of Tong Lin. After Tong Lin took it, he walked to the door and signaled to lead the way.
Tong Lin opened the black oil-paper umbrella to protect the paper people from the rain, and went with them to the kitchen on the other side of the courtyard.
Paper people jumped over the threshold, skillfully set the stove on fire, washed rice and vegetables, cut vegetables and put them into the pot, division of labor and cooperation, in an orderly manner.
These little paper people can do everything except they can't speak.Not long after, all the food was out of the pot, and the aroma from it made Tong Lin even more hungry.The paper man held the dishes and led him across the corridor to the vestibule, and accompanied him to eat in a room similar to the living room.
The small table was facing the sliding door, and Tong Lin was facing the courtyard, watching the rain scene while eating.A little paper man also boiled a jug of wine for him, and brought it to his hand together with the wine cup.
Tong Lin was injured and was not suitable for drinking, but he was taken care of so thoughtfully, even though there were only some faceless and manipulative pieces of paper in front of him, he couldn't help but say some words of appreciation and thanks.
The little paper man seemed very happy and jumped on tiptoe.
The wind and rain, the gloomy sky, added a bit of sadness to the beauty of the courtyard, even for a carefree person like Tong Lin, his mood would inevitably be infected.In addition to being weak, after eating, he went back to the bedroom to lie down and rest.
Just after falling asleep, a pleasant voice said: You are awake.
Tong Lin had a strange feeling, he knew that he had fallen asleep and was in a dream at the moment, but his consciousness was very clear, and he didn't stop thinking because of it.
There was rain and fog in front of him, and he could only vaguely see a tall and slender silhouette. Whenever he tried to get closer to see it more clearly, that figure seemed to be even more distant.
But the voice calling for him never stopped, and after getting no response, the man sang a song.
The misty singing seemed to come from the other side of the dream, Tong Lin listened carefully, and felt vaguely familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Just when he wanted to gather his mind and listen to the lyrics clearly, he woke up from his dream.
The unimaginable dream left a deep impression on him. He sat on the edge of the bed and recalled it repeatedly, but he still couldn't remember when and where he heard the intermittent familiar tune.
When I got up and pushed open the window, the rain hadn't stopped, and the sky was getting more and more gloomy, making it hard to tell the time.The cool emptiness makes one's mind clear, so Tong Lin simply opened the window and let the falling raindrops splash on the window edge.
He went around the house and fiddled with the bell hanging on the half-moon door. There seemed to be no metal pellets inside, and there was no sound after the collision.
Bored, he turned to the table again, wiped the blood-stained strings clean, stroked them with his fingertips, and the strings made a monotonous sound.
While pondering all kinds of visions in this world, he unconsciously pressed the strings of the qin. When he came back to his senses, the guqin was playing coherent and smooth tunes under the flick of his fingertips.
The melodious sound of the qin has a wide and distant range, like pine and deep ancient, like torrents ups and downs.Tong Lin looked down at his fingers, and guessed that the original owner was very fond of the qin during his lifetime, and his skills were superb. Even though his soul had died, his body still remembered the original habits and skills of the qin. As long as he touched the qin, he would involuntarily caress it. Play the strings.
The sound of the piano seems to have the effect of calming the mind. When the song is over, holding down the trembling strings, Tong Lin only feels a lot quieter in his heart.He got up from his seat and turned around, his heart that had been soothed just now tensed again - there was a person standing in front of the window.
It might not be appropriate to say that it is a human being, because his body is almost transparent, and there is a faint halo covering his body, and the rain cannot fall on him.
He is tall and well dressed, but his eyes are covered with white cloth strips, so he cannot see.Although there was no expression on his face, even if he stood like that, he gave people a gloomy feeling.
The paper people stood on the window frame and seemed to prevent the man from approaching.Tong Lin approached and said, "Who are you?"
No matter how this "thing" looked like a ghost on a rainy night, he didn't expect to get an answer, but unexpectedly, the blindfolded man said, "You...can you see me?"
It sounds like the blindfolded man was as surprised as Tong Lin, and judging from what he said, he shouldn't have been seen.
The three words "Live to hell" very aptly described the current situation, Tong Lin pinched his fingertips to confirm that he was indeed not continuing to dream, and then said: "I can see."
After thinking about it, he confirmed again: "Are you a ghost?"
The blindfolded man shook his head and said, "I'm just a wandering soul."
Tong Lin went to the window to have a look, and found that there were quite a few such "wandering souls" in the yard, each of them walked lightly, as if their bodies were weightless, and looked dazed, as if they didn't expect anything.
Seeing that Tong Lin was silent, the blindfolded man thought he was concerned about his identity, so he explained: "I was attracted by the sound of your piano, and I didn't mean any harm."
He "looked" at the window frame, raised his short hands and lined up a row of paper human beings blocking him: "You can control shikigami, you should be an onmyoji, then you won't be afraid of someone like me." Displaced wandering soul."
Tong Lin frowned when he heard a very unfamiliar word.The memories he could read from this shell were very fragmented, and one piece after another couldn't be combined, which often made him feel very confused.
Therefore, what onmyoji and wandering souls can only be explained inexplicably to Tong Lin.
The blindfolded man was still talking to himself, as if he was very excited that someone could see him and hear him: "Although onmyojis have magical powers that ordinary people don't have, I still want to be able to see souls without casting spells." It's the first time I've heard of it."
Tong Linxin said that it was the first time he had heard of it.One person, one soul, looking at each other through the window, Tong Lin really didn't know what to say to the other party, so he said, "Do you want to come in and sit down?"
The blindfolded man was a little excited, but politely refused. He only asked to listen to another piano piece.
The other wandering souls in the yard also looked over, with a touch of longing in their godless eyes.
Tong Lin had nothing to do, so he simply met the requirements of these wandering souls and played a relatively cheerful song.
In the days that followed, it was almost always like this.The obscene rain is falling, lingering, every night those wandering souls will come to listen to Tong Lin playing the piano.
Tong Lin gradually got used to seeing the eyes of wandering ghosts and wild ghosts, and got acquainted with these elegant wandering souls who are keen on piano music, listened to their memories and cries during their lifetime, and used the sound of the piano to soothe their inner pain.They also regard Tong Lin as a confidant and friend who can talk about everything, and they also confide to him one by one what they have seen and heard about wandering around on weekdays.
During the conversation with them, Tong Lin gradually learned about the background of this world and information related to his identity.
This is a world where people coexist with ghosts, gods, demons, and wraiths. Onmyoji is a very special profession.Although they are human beings, onmyojis who have acquired mana through practice can communicate with ghosts and gods, and use spells to control all spirits in the world.
Onmyojis know astronomy first and geography second, are familiar with ancient and modern times, divination good and bad luck, and can pray for good fortune and avoid misfortune, exorcise evil spirits, so they are highly valued and trusted by the royal family. There is also a special onmyoji division in the court.
With the increasing status of Onmyoji, the practice of Onmyoji has become a privilege only for the children of aristocratic families, and it is out of reach of ordinary people.Therefore, Tong Lin speculated that the original owner of this shell should have a good background, but for some reason, he lived alone in the mountains and committed suicide by cutting his wrist.
Those little paper figurines are just low-level shikigami, unable to provide strong combat power for Onmyoji, they can only do some work such as cleaning the yard, washing clothes and cooking.Tong Lin once tried to search for some memories of using spells from his memory. Although he had mastered the skills of making seals and chanting spells, no powerful ghosts and gods appeared.
It's been a long time, and it's inevitable to be boring. Tong Lin nicknamed the wandering souls one by one, blindfolded man, rosacea, uncle bear, butt face, 36d royal sister, squinting loli... and even drew them with pen and ink on a small piece of paper Faces with different expressions.
Because of the facial features, the paper figurines look very funny, some seem to be grinning, some look arrogant, and some look indifferent.They dangle together and seem to be judging each other's "looks".
This day, Tong Lin supported a little paper man to poke and draw a picture. The blindfolded man brought a wandering spirit that had never appeared before. It seemed that he died not long ago, and Tong Lin could still feel some anger from her.
He joked to the blindfolded man, "Are you bringing the person you like to me to be a witness?"
The blindfolded man hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you are joking. This girl was a villager at the bottom of the mountain before she was alive. She wanted to ask Your Excellency, but she didn't dare to visit her rashly. That's why she asked for my recommendation."
The girls in the village looked at Tong Lin timidly, and quietly sized up this reclusive Onmyoji, seeming very curious.
Tong Lin put down the pen in his hand and told the girl to say anything.
The girl bit her lip, and talked about what troubles their village had caused recently. First, children disappeared frequently, and then people died in strange ways.Including herself, she lost her breath in her sleep, and after the autopsy, no wound was found.
Some older people said that it was caused by demons, which caused panic in the whole village and made them careless about farming.The village head invited some wandering monks and Taoist priests, but after setting up an altar, it had no effect.
A Taoist priest said that it would be better to ask an onmyoji to take a look at this situation, but onmyoji are all serving the royal family, nobles and dignitaries in Beijing, so why come to such a remote mountain village.
The village chief was helpless, and the villagers even began to pack their bags and prepare to leave. If this continues, the village will be deserted.After the girl died, she communicated with other wandering souls, only to learn that there lived an onmyoji in the mountain, so she wanted to ask Tong Lin for help.
Tong Lin has nothing to do. He wakes up all day and just "paints his face". When he falls asleep, he falls into a misty dream. He has long thought of going out to the mountains. The demons and gods and the like, immediately agreed, held up the oil-paper umbrella and walked into the rain, leaving the secluded courtyard.
If someone could see the Wraith Wandering Soul like him, they would be shocked at how mighty a team followed behind him.
Day after day, the sky never cleared up, and no matter day or night, there was always a mass of insoluble thick ink covering the top of the head.The dense rain curtain swayed among the mountains and forests, dyeing the lush green deeper.Tong Lin came to the foot of the mountain along the muddy mountain road, and a village appeared in front of him.
Probably because of the rain, the village was lonely and deserted.Tong Lin did not enter the village immediately, but stood at the entrance of the village and watched. The village was extremely quiet, with the doors and windows of every house closed, not even the barking of dogs could be heard.
He asked the girl beside him, "Is everyone in your village hiding at home?"
The girl was puzzled and said, "Although few people went out after the accident, they are not completely deserted on weekdays." She wandered outside Tong Lin's residence these days and never returned to the village, so she didn't know what happened in the past few days. what happened.
She was familiar with the topography of the village, so she asked Tong Lin and the others to wait where they were, and went to see if anyone had lights on.
After the girl walked away, the wandering spirits also scattered, looking curiously at the courtyard near the entrance of the village.
Tong Lin held the umbrella in one hand, and stretched out his index finger with the other hand to tap it. A blue flame appeared in front of him immediately, like a blue lotus in full bloom in the dark rainy night.
The flames illuminated the surroundings, making him see more clearly.The girl's figure flickered on and off, and was slowly drifting towards the village.
Just when Tong Lin raised his foot to follow, something moved in his arms.He looked down, and saw a paper man sticking his head out from the edge of the skirt, looking at him with a small face with a proud expression.
Tong Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Why did you follow?"
Rainy days are very humid, and it is inevitable that the paper man will be a little soaked and limp when hiding in the house, not to mention that there is only a paper umbrella to cover the rain now.As the paper figurines in his arms poked their heads out, one after another paper figurines emerged from Tong Lin's neckline, cuffs and hem.
All the paper men in the family were mobilized and hidden under Tong Lin's clothes, they were truly "personal" bodyguards.They seemed a little excited, and they all waved their short hands, as if to stop Tong Lin from going any further.
Tong Lin and the little paper man couldn't figure out why, but suddenly he felt a strange feeling, his skin felt a slight tingling, and the cells all over his body began to boil.
Before he could find out where this feeling came from, there was a shrill scream in front of him, and under the reflection of the blue fire, the girl's soul was swallowed by the suddenly rising flames, and was wiped out in the blink of an eye.
The sudden change frightened the other wandering souls, and after regaining their senses, they fled behind Tong Lin in a panic.
The flames were not extinguished by the rain, but rushed towards the top of the village with the momentum of swallowing the sky.
The restlessness in Tong Lin's body did not stop, but became more intense, and his five senses became extremely clear and eye-catching. Voices from all directions poured into his ears, and the outlines of things hidden in the darkness appeared.
He saw something he hadn't seen before, a golden transparent shroud over the village, gradually shrinking as the flames burned.
This is a very vicious curse array, indiscriminate, not to mention mountain spirits and wild monsters, even ordinary wandering souls will be burnt to pieces if they bump into it.The girl's soul can no longer be saved.
Tong Lin subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch a drop of rainwater, ejected it through his fingertips, and landed in the flames.
With the sound of "嗤", the flame that was intensifying in the rain suddenly rolled up and was instantly extinguished.
The wandering spirits behind him had just recovered from their shock, and still huddled behind him not daring to move.While he was appeasing the wandering soul, many people poured out of the village.
Judging by the way most people dress, they should be villagers.And the leading young men in Chinese costumes seemed out of place.
These teenagers are uniformly dressed, all in moon-white hunting clothes and black hats.They looked arrogant and seemed to think highly of themselves, while the attitude of the surrounding villagers was also cautious, holding umbrellas for them respectfully.
The young man who walked in the front was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features, but he had a good appearance.It's a pity that the eyes are too sharp, and the expression can't hide the impatience and contempt, which makes people not like it.
With his hands behind his back, the young man walked up to Tong Lin pretending to be cool, looked him up with suspicious eyes, and said coldly, "You destroyed the curse array we set up?"
Tong Lin glanced at him, but did not answer.It wasn't that he was being indifferent on purpose, but the bell hanging around his waist began to ring.
This bell is the same as the one hanging on the half-moon door at home. It is called the chiseled soul bell. It will not make a sound no matter how much it is shaken at ordinary times. If it is a foolish monster, it will ring by itself, making a sound that only the caster can hear .
These young onmyojis also wanted to use the spell array to block the monster entering the village, but they didn't know that the monster was already in the village, and probably mixed among the villagers.
Seeing that Tong Lin didn't answer, the young man thought he was neglecting himself, and immediately said angrily: "You low-level country warlock, why don't you understand a little bit of etiquette, I'm asking you something!"
Before Tong Lin could react, the villagers behind the boy took the lead and said, "Isn't this the lunatic on the mountain?"
The villagers recognized the onmyoji who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and immediately began to talk about it. The middle-aged man holding the umbrella for the boy, the village chief, said to the boy, "I heard that he was also a warlock who practiced the way of yin and yang. , because he failed in the Onmyoji Examination, he was stimulated and went crazy all day long, ignorant of human affairs, please don't share his knowledge with him."
Hearing this, the young man softened his expression slightly, and said with a slight smile, "So it's a lunatic, but it's a pity for a beautiful woman."
It's a pity that Tong Lin couldn't see himself in the mirror. He didn't know how beautiful this face was, and what surprised him even more was that he was still a lunatic.
The other teenagers also relaxed their expressions, and said with a sneer, "I'm just saying, how could someone break through the Amaterasu Cracking Flame Formation so easily, it must be his luck."
This curse array is the proud work of their master, although with their ability, they cannot set up this spell array alone, but with the joint strength of several people, the spiritual power of the spell array set up is also strong enough, it is definitely not those folks who are not good at learning skills Onmyoji can be easily broken.
The leading boy frivolously stretched out his fingers, wanting to tickle Tong Lin's chin.Before touching Tong Lin's skin, there was just a "pop", a paper man blocked Tong Lin's chin, and slapped his hand away fiercely.
The young man lost face, and angrily scolded: "I don't care about this matter with you, you lunatic, get out of here, don't wait for us to set up an array to eliminate demons, no matter how bad you are."
The villagers also agreed one after another, telling Tong Lin to leave quickly.If it weren't for these young onmyojis passing by on hunting trips, how could the village have a chance to find decent onmyojis to help.
The lunatics in this mountain usually stay at home and come to make trouble as soon as they leave the mountain. The villagers are of course dissatisfied, and their disgust and anger are not concealed in their words.
Amidst the sound of driving away, the blindfolded man leaned closer to Tong Lin's ear and said, "There is something wrong with that woman."
Tong Lin followed the blindfolded man's fingers and saw a woman standing behind the crowd, holding an eight or nine-year-old child in her hand.
Although the child was standing straight, his eyes were dull, probably his mind had been sealed.However, his body was covered with a layer of purple air that ordinary people couldn't see, which seemed to protect him from harm.
The demonic aura on that woman's body is very weak, and if she is not careful, she will be ignored.Even if those arrogant young onmyojis have already noticed it, they may only regard it as the evil spirit coming from outside the village.
However, the chiseled soul bell on Tong Lin's belt became more and more intense, indicating that this monster is not taking it easy. It may have been refined for a long time, and it forcibly suppressed its own monster aura with magic power.
He pondered for a moment, then said to the young man: "The monsters here are no small matter, are you sure you don't need my help?"
The boy laughed out loud as if he had heard some joke, and his companions and villagers behind him also showed mocking expressions.He picked up a paper figurine on Tong Lin's chest, looked at the faces painted on it, and said jokingly: "We all worship under the head of the Yin and Yang Department, Qiu Tu, and practice the righteous way of Yin and Yang. I'm just a mountain spirit." Wild monsters don't need help from outsiders. What's more..."
He glanced at Tong Lin with contempt, and threw the paper man into the rain, the implication was self-evident-they thought that even if Tong Lin was not a lunatic, he was also a non-mainstream onmyoji. , It's better not to take it out and show your timidity in front of the decent family.
Tong Lin pulled the paper man floating in the air back into his arms, and stopped talking nonsense with him.Since they are so confident, it's up to them to toss about.It's just that Tong Lin didn't intend to go far. If the young onmyojis set up the kind of sinister curse array that would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let a single one go, he would still break it again.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the Chisel Soul Bell, which was ringing non-stop at his waist, couldn't bear the evil spirit, and suddenly came out and flew towards the woman.
A piercing scream was heard in everyone's ears, and the woman who was hit by the chiseled soul bell instantly revealed her original shape. The clothes on her body turned into blood-colored feathers, her feet faded into claws, and she grabbed the child beside her and flew straight into the sky.
This change happened so suddenly that the young onmyojis didn't react at all. Seeing that half-human, half-bird monster was about to fly away, they forgot to stop it.
With a sound of "嗖", a bright blue spiritual arrow pierced the darkness, tore the rain curtain, and pierced straight into the monster's heart.
The Lingliu Arrow is coming fiercely, with strong spiritual power, the monster is in mid-air, so it can only block it with its claws.The bird's claw was injured by the spirit flow arrow, and the child she was holding immediately fell from the sky.
Tong Lin took a step forward and held the child firmly in his arms.
The monster screamed angrily, folded its wings and charged straight down like flying arrows.
The young man led by the onmyoji saw that he had just lost the opportunity and was shot first by the lunatic, so his face was naturally dull.At this time, in order to save face, he hurriedly threw a spell.
However, the monster's speed was beyond imagination, and when the young man's seal activated the spell and exploded in the air, she had already avoided a safe place.
The young man became more and more impatient, and together with his companions cast dozens of spells one after another, but none of them hurt the monster, which only made her even more angry.
She was getting faster and faster, like a streak of blood in the air. She originally wanted to snatch the child back, but because of the harassment of the spell, she cast her venomous eyes on the boy.
With a shrill neigh, the monster flew down again, passing through bursts of flames, its sharp claws firmly grasped the boy's shoulders, and lifted him into the air effortlessly.
However, his figure did not appear in the mirror.
After confirming again and again, Tong Lin had to believe the facts in front of him. The bronze mirror was indeed a mirror surface, and all the furnishings displayed in the room could be reflected in it. Only himself, as if he did not exist, could not be reflected by the mirror anyway.
Tong Lin subconsciously tapped on the mirror with his fingers, and with the clicking sound, unconsciously murmured: "This is too supernatural."

"Where's the kitchen?" Tong Lin asked the paper people.
A paper man took out an oil-paper umbrella from a drawer in the room and held it in front of Tong Lin. After Tong Lin took it, he walked to the door and signaled to lead the way.
Tong Lin opened the black oil-paper umbrella to protect the paper people from the rain, and went with them to the kitchen on the other side of the courtyard.
Paper people jumped over the threshold, skillfully set the stove on fire, washed rice and vegetables, cut vegetables and put them into the pot, division of labor and cooperation, in an orderly manner.
These little paper people can do everything except they can't speak.Not long after, all the food was out of the pot, and the aroma from it made Tong Lin even more hungry.The paper man held the dishes and led him across the corridor to the vestibule, and accompanied him to eat in a room similar to the living room.

No matter how this "thing" looked like a ghost on a rainy night, he didn't expect to get an answer, but unexpectedly, the blindfolded man said, "You...can you see me?"
It sounds like the blindfolded man was as surprised as Tong Lin, and judging from what he said, he shouldn't have been seen.

There is also a special onmyoji division in the court.
With the increasing status of Onmyoji, the practice of Onmyoji has become a privilege only for the children of aristocratic families, and it is out of reach of ordinary people.Therefore, Tong Lin speculated that the original owner of this shell should have a good background, but for some reason, he lived alone in the mountains and committed suicide by cutting his wrist.
Those little paper figurines are just low-level shikigami, unable to provide strong combat power for Onmyoji, they can only do some work such as cleaning the yard, washing clothes and cooking.Tong Lin once tried to search for some memories of using spells from his memory. Although he had mastered the skills of making seals and chanting spells, no powerful ghosts and gods appeared.
It's been a long time, and it's inevitable to be boring. Tong Lin nicknamed the wandering souls one by one, blindfolded man, rosacea, uncle bear, butt face, 36d royal sister, squinting loli... and even drew them with pen and ink on a small piece of paper Faces with different expressions.
Because of the facial features, the paper figurines look very funny, some seem to be grinning, some look arrogant, and some look indifferent.They dangle together and seem to be judging each other's "looks".
This day, Tong Lin supported a little paper man to poke and draw a picture. The blindfolded man brought a wandering spirit that had never appeared before. It seemed that he died not long ago, and Tong Lin could still feel some anger from her.
He joked to the blindfolded man, "Are you bringing the person you like to me to be a witness?"
The blindfolded man hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you are joking. This girl was a villager at the bottom of the mountain before she was alive. She wanted to ask Your Excellency, but she didn't dare to visit her rashly. That's why she asked for my recommendation."
The girls in the village looked at Tong Lin timidly, and quietly sized up this reclusive Onmyoji, seeming very curious.
Tong Lin put down the pen in his hand and told the girl to say anything.
The girl bit her lip, and talked about what troubles their village had caused recently. First, children disappeared frequently, and then people died in strange ways.Including herself, she lost her breath in her sleep, and after the autopsy, no wound was found.
Some older people said that it was caused by demons, which caused panic in the whole village and made them careless about farming.The village head invited some wandering monks and Taoist priests, but after setting up an altar, it had no effect.
A Taoist priest said that it would be better to ask an onmyoji to take a look at this situation, but onmyoji are all serving the royal family, nobles and dignitaries in Beijing, so why come to such a remote mountain village.
The village chief was helpless, and the villagers even began to pack their bags and prepare to leave. If this continues, the village will be deserted.After the girl died, she communicated with other wandering souls, only to learn that there lived an onmyoji in the mountain, so she wanted to ask Tong Lin for help.
Tong Lin has nothing to do. He wakes up all day and just "paints his face". When he falls asleep, he falls into a misty dream. He has long thought of going out to the mountains. The demons and gods and the like, immediately agreed, held up the oil-paper umbrella and walked into the rain, leaving the secluded courtyard.
If someone could see the Wraith Wandering Soul like him, they would be shocked at how mighty a team followed behind him.
Day after day, the sky never cleared up, and no matter day or night, there was always a mass of insoluble thick ink covering the top of the head.The dense rain curtain swayed among the mountains and forests, dyeing the lush green deeper.Tong Lin came to the foot of the mountain along the muddy mountain road, and a village appeared in front of him.
Probably because of the rain, the village was lonely and deserted.Tong Lin did not enter the village immediately, but stood at the entrance of the village and watched. The village was extremely quiet, with the doors and windows of every house closed, not even the barking of dogs could be heard.
He asked the girl beside him, "Is everyone in your village hiding at home?"
The girl was puzzled and said, "Although few people went out after the accident, they are not completely deserted on weekdays." She wandered outside Tong Lin's residence these days and never returned to the village, so she didn't know what happened in the past few days. what happened.
She was familiar with the topography of the village, so she asked Tong Lin and the others to wait where they were, and went to see if anyone had lights on.
After the girl walked away, the wandering spirits also scattered, looking curiously at the courtyard near the entrance of the village.
Tong Lin held the umbrella in one hand, and stretched out his index finger with the other hand to tap it. A blue flame appeared in front of him immediately, like a blue lotus in full bloom in the dark rainy night.
The flames illuminated the surroundings, making him see more clearly.The girl's figure flickered on and off, and was slowly drifting towards the village.
Just when Tong Lin raised his foot to follow, something moved in his arms.He looked down, and saw a paper man sticking his head out from the edge of the skirt, looking at him with a small face with a proud expression.
Tong Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Why did you follow?"
Rainy days are very humid, and it is inevitable that the paper man will be a little soaked and limp when hiding in the house, not to mention that there is only a paper umbrella to cover the rain now.As the paper figurines in his arms poked their heads out, one after another paper figurines emerged from Tong Lin's neckline, cuffs and hem.
All the paper men in the family were mobilized and hidden under Tong Lin's clothes, they were truly "personal" bodyguards.They seemed a little excited, and they all waved their short hands, as if to stop Tong Lin from going any further.
Tong Lin and the little paper man couldn't figure out why, but suddenly he felt a strange feeling, his skin felt a slight tingling, and the cells all over his body began to boil.
Before he could find out where this feeling came from, there was a shrill scream in front of him, and under the reflection of the blue fire, the girl's soul was swallowed by the suddenly rising flames, and was wiped out in the blink of an eye.
The sudden change frightened the other wandering souls, and after regaining their senses, they fled behind Tong Lin in a panic.
The flames were not extinguished by the rain, but rushed towards the top of the village with the momentum of swallowing the sky.
The restlessness in Tong Lin's body did not stop, but became more intense, and his five senses became extremely clear and eye-catching. Voices from all directions poured into his ears, and the outlines of things hidden in the darkness appeared.
He saw something he hadn't seen before, a golden transparent shroud over the village, gradually shrinking as the flames burned.
This is a very vicious curse array, indiscriminate, not to mention mountain spirits and wild monsters, even ordinary wandering souls will be burnt to pieces if they bump into it.The girl's soul can no longer be saved.
Tong Lin subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch a drop of rainwater, ejected it through his fingertips, and landed in the flames.
With the sound of "嗤", the flame that was intensifying in the rain suddenly rolled up and was instantly extinguished.
The wandering spirits behind him had just recovered from their shock, and still huddled behind him not daring to move.While he was appeasing the wandering soul, many people poured out of the village.
Judging by the way most people dress, they should be villagers.And the leading young men in Chinese costumes seemed out of place.
These teenagers are uniformly dressed, all in moon-white hunting clothes and black hats.They looked arrogant and seemed to think highly of themselves, while the attitude of the surrounding villagers was also cautious, holding umbrellas for them respectfully.
The young man who walked in the front was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features, but he had a good appearance.It's a pity that the eyes are too sharp, and the expression can't hide the impatience and contempt, which makes people not like it.
With his hands behind his back, the young man walked up to Tong Lin pretending to be cool, looked him up with suspicious eyes, and said coldly, "You destroyed the curse array we set up?"
Tong Lin glanced at him, but did not answer.It wasn't that he was being indifferent on purpose, but the bell hanging around his waist began to ring.
This bell is the same as the one hanging on the half-moon door at home. It is called the chiseled soul bell. It will not make a sound no matter how much it is shaken at ordinary times. If it is a foolish monster, it will ring by itself, making a sound that only the caster can hear .
These young onmyojis also wanted to use the spell array to block the monster entering the village, but they didn't know that the monster was already in the village, and probably mixed among the villagers.
Seeing that Tong Lin didn't answer, the young man thought he was neglecting himself, and immediately said angrily: "You low-level country warlock, why don't you understand a little bit of etiquette, I'm asking you something!"
Before Tong Lin could react, the villagers behind the boy took the lead and said, "Isn't this the lunatic on the mountain?"
The villagers recognized the onmyoji who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and immediately began to talk about it. The middle-aged man holding the umbrella for the boy, the village chief, said to the boy, "I heard that he was also a warlock who practiced the way of yin and yang. , because he failed in the Onmyoji Examination, he was stimulated and went crazy all day long, ignorant of human affairs, please don't share his knowledge with him."
Hearing this, the young man softened his expression slightly, and said with a slight smile, "So it's a lunatic, but it's a pity for a beautiful woman."
It's a pity that Tong Lin couldn't see himself in the mirror. He didn't know how beautiful this face was, and what surprised him even more was that he was still a lunatic.
The other teenagers also relaxed their expressions, and said with a sneer, "I'm just saying, how could someone break through the Amaterasu Cracking Flame Formation so easily, it must be his luck."
This curse array is the proud work of their master, although with their ability, they cannot set up this spell array alone, but with the joint strength of several people, the spiritual power of the spell array set up is also strong enough, it is definitely not those folks who are not good at learning skills Onmyoji can be easily broken.
The leading boy frivolously stretched out his fingers, wanting to tickle Tong Lin's chin.Before touching Tong Lin's skin, there was just a "pop", a paper man blocked Tong Lin's chin, and slapped his hand away fiercely.
The young man lost face, and angrily scolded: "I don't care about this matter with you, you lunatic, get out of here, don't wait for us to set up an array to eliminate demons, no matter how bad you are."
The villagers also agreed one after another, telling Tong Lin to leave quickly.If it weren't for these young onmyojis passing by on hunting trips, how could the village have a chance to find decent onmyojis to help.
The lunatics in this mountain usually stay at home and come to make trouble as soon as they leave the mountain. The villagers are of course dissatisfied, and their disgust and anger are not concealed in their words.
Amidst the sound of driving away, the blindfolded man leaned closer to Tong Lin's ear and said, "There is something wrong with that woman."
Tong Lin followed the blindfolded man's fingers and saw a woman standing behind the crowd, holding an eight or nine-year-old child in her hand.
Although the child was standing straight, his eyes were dull, probably his mind had been sealed.However, his body was covered with a layer of purple air that ordinary people couldn't see, which seemed to protect him from harm.
The demonic aura on that woman's body is very weak, and if she is not careful, she will be ignored.Even if those arrogant young onmyojis have already noticed it, they may only regard it as the evil spirit coming from outside the village.
However, the chiseled soul bell on Tong Lin's belt became more and more intense, indicating that this monster is not taking it easy. It may have been refined for a long time, and it forcibly suppressed its own monster aura with magic power.
He pondered for a moment, then said to the young man: "The monsters here are no small matter, are you sure you don't need my help?"
The boy laughed out loud as if he had heard some joke, and his companions and villagers behind him also showed mocking expressions.He picked up a paper figurine on Tong Lin's chest, looked at the faces painted on it, and said jokingly: "We all worship under the head of the Yin and Yang Department, Qiu Tu, and practice the righteous way of Yin and Yang. I'm just a mountain spirit." Wild monsters don't need help from outsiders. What's more..."
He glanced at Tong Lin with contempt, and threw the paper man into the rain, the implication was self-evident-they thought that even if Tong Lin was not a lunatic, he was also a non-mainstream onmyoji. , It's better not to take it out and show your timidity in front of the decent family.
Tong Lin pulled the paper man floating in the air back into his arms, and stopped talking nonsense with him.Since they are so confident, it's up to them to toss about.It's just that Tong Lin didn't intend to go far. If the young onmyojis set up the kind of sinister curse array that would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let a single one go, he would still break it again.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the Chisel Soul Bell, which was ringing non-stop at his waist, couldn't bear the evil spirit, and suddenly came out and flew towards the woman.
A piercing scream was heard in everyone's ears, and the woman who was hit by the chiseled soul bell instantly revealed her original shape. The clothes on her body turned into blood-colored feathers, her feet faded into claws, and she grabbed the child beside her and flew straight into the sky.
This change happened so suddenly that the young onmyojis didn't react at all. Seeing that half-human, half-bird monster was about to fly away, they forgot to stop it.
With a sound of "嗖", a bright blue spiritual arrow pierced the darkness, tore the rain curtain, and pierced straight into the monster's heart.
The Lingliu Arrow is coming fiercely, with strong spiritual power, the monster is in mid-air, so it can only block it with its claws.The bird's claw was injured by the spirit flow arrow, and the child she was holding immediately fell from the sky.
Tong Lin took a step forward and held the child firmly in his arms.
The monster screamed angrily, folded its wings and charged straight down like flying arrows.
The young man led by the onmyoji saw that he had just lost the opportunity and was shot first by the lunatic, so his face was naturally dull.At this time, in order to save face, he hurriedly threw a spell.
However, the monster's speed was beyond imagination, and when the young man's seal activated the spell and exploded in the air, she had already avoided a safe place.
The young man became more and more impatient, and together with his companions cast dozens of spells one after another, but none of them hurt the monster, which only made her even more angry.
She was getting faster and faster, like a streak of blood in the air. She originally wanted to snatch the child back, but because of the harassment of the spell, she cast her venomous eyes on the boy.
With a shrill neigh, the monster flew down again, passing through bursts of flames, its sharp claws firmly grasped the boy's shoulders, and lifted him into the air effortlessly.
