The strange case of the demon book

? Today is the Ghost Festival, so Huo Wen doesn't plan to sell lanterns anymore.Unable to return to Foshan, he went to Yuejiang River to release river lanterns at nine o'clock in the evening to honor his parents.After going back to fill his stomach and changing into a white robe, Huo Wen heard the sound of the bell tower and went to Yuejiang.On the street outside, many old people sacrificed and burned paper money outside.After arriving at the Yuejiang River, many people were setting off river lanterns.The entire Yuejiang River is dotted with dots like Huangquan.Huo Wencai lit the river lantern with his parents' names on it and said:

"Father, mother. Wencai is not filial, so I can't go back to worship you this year. Next year, Wencai will definitely go back and kowtow to you." The river lanterns that were put down floated along with the river, and no one knew where they went.

Baiziheng's lingpo said that these river lanterns will float along the river to the Nai River, which borders the human world, and enter the underworld.

Every year, the Nai River that borders the world only appears today.So this is why people have never seen the river lanterns in Guangzhou city downstream, because those river lanterns all entered the underworld along the Nai River.Because they believe in the words of the Lingma, everyone will come to release river lanterns on this day every year.

The scene on the Yuejiang River became extremely spectacular.Seeing the river lantern he set off gradually drifting away, Huo Wencai turned and went back.The number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and there were only unburned sacrificial objects left on this cold street.Guangzhou Chen sinks into the night, and the lights on the street are very dim.Without the hustle and bustle of ordinary days, the streets and alleys are so cold that there is no trace of popularity.

Huo Wencai went to Lantern Street, when a gust of autumn wind came from behind, Huo Wencai's face stern, he dodged and fell in front of his eyes were two tight-fitting men in black, a man and a woman.

"What do you want to do!" If it wasn't for his kung fu, he would have been knocked out by the two people in front of him. Maybe he wanted to take advantage of the Ghost Festival to rob the person who placed the order!

"Where did the ring on your neck come from!" the woman who was confronting Huo Wencai asked indifferently.

"It's none of my business for you, you still want to grab it." Huo Wencai said disdainfully, Zhang Jue gave this thing, these two people obviously came for Zhang Jue, how could Huo Wencai let them get it .

"This is something stolen from our Zhang family! Tell me, where is Zhang Jue!" The man's voice was full of threats.

Zhang family?Is it Zhang Jue's family?But no matter how you look at it, the comer is not good.

"If you want to take the ring away, see if I will give it to you first." Huo Wencai also got excited.

"Looking for death!" the man said, and then he and the woman attacked Huo Wencai.Huo Wencai met the two who were attacking him with fists and kicks, and the two cooperated with each other unparalleled.After fighting for a while, Huo Wen sent his fist to the man's stomach, but his face was also injured by the woman.The two sides are evenly matched, but Huo Wencai is confident that he can solve this man and woman.

The man who was punched by Huo Wencai spat, he and the woman looked at each other, and then slowly pulled out two mahogany swords from behind.

Huo Wencai sneered: "Two wooden swords, you are playing with them like children."

"Whether it's a child's play or not, you'll know later." The woman's face was cruel.Huo Wencai didn't like the two people in front of him. They had no emotion on their faces, completely different from Zhang Jue.For no reason, Huo Wencai hated the two people in front of him very much.Those two people stabbed Huo Wencai with the mahogany sword. It was only when the mahogany sword that Huo Wencai didn't take seriously cut his cheek that Huo Wencai realized that the mahogany sword was really deadly, and it was sharper than his police sword. .He didn't bring anything with him when he went out tonight, even the lantern was left at home. When he met such an inexplicable Taoist from the Zhang family at this time, the lantern might not dare to come out. If he was stabbed by such a sword, he would have to be beaten back to its original shape. .

Those two trapped Huo Wencai with the mahogany sword in their hands, and Huo Wencai couldn't escape for a while.Those two also found that Huo Wencai was a person with extraordinary skills. If they were one-on-one, they really had no chance of winning, but with the mahogany sword in their hands and the pincer attack of the two of them, it would be even more difficult for Huo Wencai to escape.

"Hand over the jade ring and tell us where Zhang Jue is, and we'll let you go!" the woman shouted and pressed Zhang Jue step by step.

"You are not qualified to ask for it!" Huo Wen responded in a deep voice.

"Your choice will kill you!"

"Hmph! You want me, Huo Wen, to fall into your hands, and it doesn't matter if you have the ability!" Huo Wen said.

Just as the woman's mahogany sword stabbed Huo Wencai, a mahogany dagger flew from a distance and knocked out the mahogany sword in the woman's hand.A familiar voice flashed by, and Huo Wencai's hand was grabbed: "Go!"

With that said, Huo Wencai and Zhang Jue quickly left their sight.

"Catch up!" said the man and he followed closely, and the woman picked up the mahogany sword and followed suit.

Along the way, Huo Wen only looked at the route. Isn't this going in the direction of Lantern Street?Zhang Jue's body was very light, he took Huo Wencai to the direction of Lantern Street, Huo Wencai's leg strength was good enough to keep up with Zhang Jue.When I arrived at Lantern Street, Lantern Street was red and silent, with fiery red lanterns hanging on both sides of the street.When Zhang Jue took Huo Wencai into Lantern Street, Huo Wencai felt as if he had come to another world.

"Don't stop, keep running!" Zhang Jue said in a low voice, and the two people behind him followed and ran into Lantern Street.Huo Wencai believed in Zhang Jue, and Zhang Jue took Huo Wencai's hand and ran along the endless Lantern Street. At this moment, Huo Wencai finally realized the strangeness—the Lantern Street was not like this, he had already passed through Lantern Street according to their footsteps up.But right now, not only did they not pass through Lantern Street, but people gradually began to appear. There were more and more people, so that Lantern Street became bustling and noisy.

Huo Wen was shocked. Is this Lantern Street?All kinds of strange people on both sides are selling all kinds of things.Even Huo Wencai, no matter how simple-minded he was, could see that this place might not be the world.

"Damn man, how do you sell this clothes?"

"One hundred yuan."

"So expensive!"

"The house just burned down!"

"..."

In the "crowded" busy street, while the two were blocked behind, Zhang Jue tore off two masks in front of a hawker with a bull's head and quickly put them on Huo Wencai's face. When it was attached to Huo Wencai's body, the mask was attached to Huo Wencai's face.Huo Wencai was startled, he touched his face, it was no longer his own face, Huo Wencai tried to find the gap of the mask on his face, but he couldn't find it at all, the mask was completely attached to his face.Huo Wencai panicked, but looking at Zhang Jue, the mask on his face became like this, it seemed that Zhang Jue knew about it, and now Huo Wencai felt at ease.After Zhang Jue threw a dozen to the mask seller, he just turned around and saw the two of them. Zhang Jue took Huo Wencai through the crowd and led him to the clothes seller whose forehead was bleeding.

"Put your clothes on."

After Huo Wencai and Zhang Jue put the straight train on, Zhang Jue stuffed a handful of paper money into the mouth of the clothes vendor, and then stabbed the knife into each other's body while Huo Wencai was stunned. The blood was smeared on Huo Wencai and his straight skirt clothes.The vendor took the money out of his mouth and counted it, and when he saw enough, he didn't question Zhang Jue for stabbing him with a knife.Anyway, he has already died once, and he won't die if he inserts a knife again.

Zhang Jue dragged Huo Wen to a food stall and sat down.After the two sat down, the owner of the long-tongued stall came up to him and asked what he wanted, Zhang Jue only said wine, and the long-tongued stall owner only served wine.

Huo Wen only touched Mo's own face, it was still the masked face, and the Zhang Jue face in front of him became another face because of the mask.

"They are here." Zhang Jue said.The two bowed their heads and drank.Those two people vigilantly looked for Huo Wencai and Zhang Jue in the "human" skirts, and when they passed in front of them, they took a second look, but Zhang Jue and Huo Wencai's disguise was so good that the two people didn't See a little flaw.After the people walked over, Huo Wen was finally able to ask: "Who are those two people and why are they looking for you?"

"Enemies. They came to hunt me down." Zhang Jue said.

The intertwined things were too deep, and Zhang absolutely couldn't explain it clearly to Huo Wencai.But if Huo Wencai was involved in this matter, Huo Wencai's life might be involved.

"Enemies! Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!" Huo Wencai said, the two who came up to fight without saying a word completely annoyed Huo Wencai, and now he knows that these two people are here to kill Zhang Jue, which makes Huo Wencai even more annoying They are gone.

Hearing Huo Wencai's words, Zhang Jue couldn't help but laugh. This is Huo Wencai, who never asks cause and effect, and never turns back.Such people are rather worrisome.

"I'll take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it," Zhang Jue said.

Hearing this, Huo Wen was annoyed. He said to Zhang Jue in a gloomy voice: "Zhang Jue, you are always like this. It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. I can wait for the day you speak to me. But your business is my business. If these people want to kill you, can I still stand and watch you being killed by them? I don’t care about right or wrong, I’m on your side, this is my decision. "

Zhang Jue reached out and touched Huo Wencai's forehead, Huo Wencai tilted his head back, and he said in embarrassment, "What are you doing, I'm serious with you."

"Drink saliva to lower the fire." Zhang Jue pushed his cup over, Huo Wen picked it up and drank it, and then he choked. He forgot it was wine, and this kind of wine had a strange taste.

After being disturbed by Zhang Jue, Huo Wencai restrained himself a lot.

"I heard your intentions. It's just that this matter will kill you," Zhang Jue said with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"What are you afraid of? I, Huo Wen, would have died long ago." Wasn't it true? If the master hadn't taken him away, he would have died long ago.Therefore, he would not be afraid of death even for the people he valued.

Huo Wencai's single tendon made Zhang Jue helpless, Zhang Jue wanted to persuade Huo Wencai again, but Huo Wencai saw through it at a glance, then he stopped Zhang Jue: "Stop talking, I won't listen. Where exactly are you here?"

"Ghost market." Zhang Jue felt helpless.

"No wonder these people have grimaces." Huo Wencai looked at the ghost market with his eyes wandering. This ghost market is so lively. After being chased, all the fear of ghosts and ghosts disappeared all of a sudden. .Don't say that those things all have a grimace, now I and Zhang definitely have a grimace.The mask was attached to his face and turned into another face completely seamless. Huo Wen was really worried that the mask would not come off, and he would become another person by then.

"The annual ghost market is still very lively, let's go and have a look." Huo Wen didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he could only stop here.Although the appearance of these ghosts in the ghost market is really scary, the things sold are still very interesting.
