Strange Records of Xijing

After the [-] beats behind closed doors, Xijing was like a beast sleeping soundly under the night, without the hustle and bustle of the day.

Pei Jingxing specially went back to the inner office to fetch the dragon head and tiger tooth gun. This gun was passed into the hands of the Tai/Zu shortly after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.The Tai/Zu was grateful for the great contributions made by the ancestors of the Pei family to conquer the world with him, and bestowed this legendary weapon to the ancestors of the Pei family.

The Dragon Head Tiger Tooth Spear is said to have been made by a craftsman in the Han Dynasty who was instructed by an immortal in his dream, and it took ten years to build it.The dragon-headed tiger-tooth gun is eight feet and five inches long. The entire gun body is made of meteorite iron left after the sky fire burns out. inch long.

Compared with ordinary guns, this gun is heavy and long, only a tall person like Pei Jingxing who has practiced martial arts all the year round can handle it.

It was already dark at this time, and Gao Zekai had already placed forbidden curses in places where the "half-faced ghosts" often haunted, just to avoid scaring the snakes. Gao Zekai was wondering whether these forbidden spells would work or not.

Although Pei Jingxing agreed to Pei Huaiyu, he had no choice but to appoint two Jinwu guards to follow the latter, lest his cousin, who had escaped thinking since childhood, would not know what to do at a critical moment.

Two of the three Zuojiedians, including Xiang Shaoxuan, came. According to Pei Jingxing's arrangement, they would patrol from both ends of the street between Chunming and Yong'an respectively. Once they found the "half-faced ghost" Trace, send the signal immediately.

As the water in the drain flowed out drop by drop, the tense bodies of the Jinwu Guards relaxed little by little.

At this time, it was already the fourth watch, and in another hour, the door-opening drum would sound, and a new day in Xijing would come again.

Will the "half-faced ghost" still appear?

This question lingers in everyone's minds, and some Jinwu Guards will even secretly yawn, waiting for the opening drum to take over with their colleagues and go home to sleep comfortably.

The Jinwu guards wanted to yawn secretly, but Pei Huaiyu was not polite at all. He sat in the Marquis Wu's shop at the east entrance of Chunmingfang, stretched his waist with his mouth open, and asked, "Daddy?" Brother, is that ghost still here?"

Gao Zekai answered vigorously: "There is no news from outside, my forbidden curse..." Speaking of this, Gao Zekai paused for a while, suddenly his face changed, and he shouted hastily: "Here we come!"

He sensed signs of loosening of a curse near Chunmingfang. These curse-forbidden people stepped on it and nothing happened, only ghosts passing by would feel it.

He took the lead and ran towards the forbidden spell that had changed. Without hesitation, Pei Jingxing picked up the dragon head and tiger tooth gun at the side, and led a small group of Jinwu guards to follow behind Gao Zekai.

After most of the people in Marquis Wu's shop had left, Pei Huaiyu came to his senses and glanced at the two Jinwu guards who stayed behind to protect him: "Let's go too!"

When Pei Jingxing and others arrived, the "Half-faced Ghost" was already deeply trapped in the forbidden curse.Her long, messy hair was stuck together in strands, covering half of her face.The only eye was full of fear and anger, half of the mouth was wide open, the corner of the mouth was split and spread to the ear, and black viscous liquid kept coming out of the mouth.

"Stay far away." Gao Zekai dropped this sentence, took out a piece of yellow talisman paper with a spell written on it, and muttered something in his mouth: "The black-faced god, the black-slaying heavenly soldier. Four straight to fight, the sun god to step up..."

Following the last sentence of "Urgent as a law", the talisman paper in Gao Zekai's hand moved automatically without wind, as if he was eager to get out of Gao Zekai's control.

Gao Zekai's eyes lit up, and he roared, "Go!"

The talisman became straight in an instant, and an invisible pressure emanated from the surroundings. Gao Zekai pulled out the mahogany sword he was carrying and pointed it at the talisman in the air. The talisman was like a sharp feathered arrow, holding a harsh The howling sound flew towards the "half-faced ghost" in the forbidden spell!

The talisman paper was in the middle of the forehead of the "half-faced ghost", and the cloud seal written with red cinnabar in the middle burst out with red light, while the part where the talisman paper and the "half-faced ghost" were pasted emitted a trace of green smoke. The face of the "half-faced ghost" twisted for a moment, and a hoarse and shrill scream burst out from its throat.

"I hit it!" Pei Huaiyu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw that his senior brother had achieved miraculous results as soon as he made a move, and wished he could learn this magical power right away.

But Gao Zekai didn't dare to be careless. He lifted the mahogany sword, fixed his eyes on the "half-faced ghost", walked with Tiangang footwork, and muttered words.

But before Gao Zekai could finish chanting the spell, a ray of light suddenly flashed in the dark sky, and then a thunderbolt shot down from Jiutian, just falling less than three inches in front of Gao Zekai's toes!

Gao Zekai was startled, hurriedly put away the mahogany sword, and looked up to observe the sky carefully.The Jinwu guards behind them were all in a state of confusion, not knowing whether the lightning strike from the sky at this time was a blessing or a curse.

Immediately afterwards, another bolt of thunder fell, hitting the "half-faced ghost" in front of it, and the forbidden curse set by Gao Zekai broke in response, the "half-faced ghost" seized the opportunity, turned around and was about to run.

"Tianlei comes at this time, could it be that this ghost can't be killed?" Gao Zekai muttered to himself, standing where he was and not chasing him.

Pei Jingxing who was on the side didn't care about this, this "half-faced ghost" had already killed six people, he was also the envoy of the Jinwu Guard, and he was responsible for public security in Xijing, how could he let the "half-faced ghost" go?

At this time, Pei Jingxing didn't care about others anymore, he picked up his dragon head and tiger tooth spear and chased after him, but unexpectedly a figure took him a step ahead, skipped by him, and went straight to the "half-faced ghost"!

It was Su Yan who came!

Su Yan took out Liulizi from his bosom, raised his left hand, and the "half-faced ghost" floated faster and faster as if it had been electrocuted.

Seeing that he couldn't make a blow, Su Yan couldn't help but let out a voice of doubt, then switched Liu Lizi to his right hand, and then grabbed the "Half-faced Ghost" with his long hair with his left hand!

With sticky hands and a stench, Su Yan resisted the churning in his stomach, raised his right hand resolutely, and planned to use Liulizi to catch ghosts.

However, Liu Lizi didn't respond to the "half-faced ghost". Su Yan tried three times, but none of them succeeded.

At this moment, Su Yan suddenly felt his left shoulder sink, and a heavy object hit his left shoulder heavily. The burning tingling almost paralyzed most of his body.

It was Pei Jingxing who came after him!

Seeing that someone cut off his beard, Pei Jingxing was furious, he let go of the pistol with his wrist, and the pistol sank down, hitting Su Yan's left shoulder heavily.

Because the main body of the dragon head and tiger tooth spear is made of meteorite, it weighs more than [-] jin. It is very difficult for ordinary people to move it, but it is like a living thing in Pei Jingxing's hands, and the gun can really move at will.

Su Yan's left shoulder was hit hard, and his left hand involuntarily let go of the pain. As soon as the "half-faced ghost" regained his freedom, he immediately floated forward screaming.

"Where to escape!" Now that it has been exposed, Pei Jingxing certainly will not give up halfway, he raised his gun and strode after him, the dragon-headed and tiger-toothed spear was sent forward by the master, and hit the "half-faced ghost" directly on the back!

Ordinary swords and guns of course cannot touch the "half-faced ghost", but this dragon-headed tiger-toothed spear is said to have been used to kill rebellious yakshas during the Southern Dynasties. It was soaked in the blood of yakshas, ​​and any ghosts and ghosts could not escape the dragon-headed tiger-toothed spear. hit.

The dragon's head and tiger teeth pierced through the back of the "half-faced ghost", and the green smoke wafted from the wound, spreading rapidly along the gun body.

When the green smoke touched Pei Jingxing's left hand, it emitted a stench with a burnt smell, and all the flesh touched by the green smoke turned black.

Su Yan caught up and saw that Pei Jingxing was injured, but he hesitated for a moment. The four fingers of his left hand were put together into a palm, and they pressed against Pei Jingxing's flesh to separate Pei Jingxing's left hand from the green smoke. Then he quickly turned his wrist, wrapping all the green smoke around his body left hand.

"Grab her!" Su Yan shouted and acted first.

Taking advantage of the "half-faced ghost"'s injury, he stepped forward quickly, and pressed his left hand covered in green smoke on the face of the "half-faced ghost" with few facial features left, and took out a red rope with his right hand. Wrap around the neck of "Face Ghost" a few times.

After doing this, the smoke in Su Yan's hand has returned to the body of the "half-faced ghost", and the "half-faced ghost" has returned to calm, with the only remaining eye looking at Su Yan dully.

"Put it away, she can't run away."

Pei Jingxing looked at Su Yan, then at the "half-faced ghost", and finally took back the dragon head and tiger tooth spear.

At this moment, Gao Zekai and others also chased after him.

Gao Zekai's eyes shifted from the "half-faced ghost" to Su Yan, suddenly raised the right corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Su, you have committed a crime."

Su Yan's expression changed, he simply threw the red rope in Pei Jingxing's direction, turned around and wanted to run.

Gao Zekai, who was still panting before, seemed to have inexhaustible strength at this moment, chased away dozens of steps, and actually caught Su Yan.

"What are you running for? Unless you don't set foot in Xijing for the rest of your life, the Jinwu Guard will never let you go." Gao Zekai grabbed Su Yan's lapel and reminded him "kindly", "Why, don't look for my master anymore. , Fellow Daoist Su?"

Su Yan: "..."

In the end, he let Gao Zekai take him back.

Gao Zekai pushed the man in front of Pei Jingxing, and asked: "Pei Street Envoy, what crime should this person commit at night?"

Pei Jingxing looked at Gao Zekai who was standing behind Su Yan winking at him. He really wanted to beat him up, but he still cooperated and said: "According to the law, fight for thirty."

After hearing this, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fighting thirty sounds scary, but when he recites a mantra at that time, it will be like a feather hitting him.

Pei Jingxing saw a gleam of joy in Su Yan's right eye, and added: "If a Taoist priest commits a crime at night, then please ask Taoist Master Gao to come forward on behalf of the national teacher, and watch over the Taoist priest who commits the night, lest he use magical powers to fool him."

Su Yan's face turned pale after hearing this.

Gao Zekai said ten times silently in his heart before he said slowly: "You Daoist Su, you have not come to Xijing not long ago, do you know who can walk around freely after the curfew? I don’t have to rest, and sometimes I don’t get paid, which is really unlucky. Fellow Daoist Su, do you want to join us?”

Su Yan looked at Gao Zekai suspiciously, and seeing the ungrateful smile on the latter's face, he believed more and more in his heart about his master's advice before going down the mountain, and felt that this person was full of calculations and should not be trusted.

It was only then that Pei Jingxing knew Gao Zekai's real purpose. However, although this Taoist priest was young, his ability to catch ghosts was extraordinary. Although he had caught this "half-faced ghost", how to deal with it later, he was more prepared .

"Gao Daoist is right." Pei Jingxing, who had made a judgment in his heart, decided to join Gao Zekai's deceitful team, nodded and said, "Su Daoist, if you can solve the 'half-faced ghost' case for us, this time it won't be too late." It's a crime of the night."

Although the master would definitely be furious when he found out that he was working with the apprentice who was the opposite of the master, but now that the master is far away in the mountains, he will not know what happened in Xijing.And I also want to stay in Xijing, so that I can challenge the national teacher on behalf of the master. I think the master can understand my painstaking efforts.

Thinking about it this way, Su Yan has no reason to refuse: "Okay."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Gao Zekai was finally willing to let go of Su Yan: "In this case, let's discuss how to solve this 'half-faced ghost'. Daoist Su, you should have found out, right?"

Su Yan nodded and said: "That's right, the 'half-faced ghost' you mentioned should not be a ghost."
