There are many ghosts on the road of alms

The leaves rustled in the cold wind, and the entire deep courtyard was in a tense situation, as if a war was about to break out.

Because the Liu family and the Zuo family shared the same goals, and the Zhang family and the Yuan family had the same stink, each formed two camps.The children of each family stood up and gathered together, holding weapons in their hands, with cold and serious expressions, always ready to rush forward to attack when the Patriarch gave an order.

Even the Chuliusi who were standing in the arena stepped back a little and stood in front of their own children, leaving a parallel area of ​​about three meters between the two camps, leaving only the abbot of Changning Temple standing there.

"Amitabha, it's almost noon now, everyone should rest first." The abbot, who was in an awkward situation, still maintained a kind smile and said.

Seeing the abbot speak, the four patriarchs unanimously chose to have lunch first.

The Zhang and Yuan families brought their disciples to the backyard where they discussed the Tao before, but the Zuoliu family did not leave the deep courtyard, but placed their disciples in the woods of the deep courtyard. The two patriarchs stayed in the pavilion with Chu Liusi dine.

"Liu Yi, what do you think our two families will win against the other two?" Zuo Jing asked while serving food to her children.

"Five-five, let's open. After all, Zhang Feng is much older than us and has more powerful mana. Yuan Shengchang has nothing to care about." Liu Yi took two bites, and then put down his chopsticks. He was really unhappy, no matter how delicious it was. The things are the same, "What's the point of our Dao discussion meeting? We don't discuss seriously, but we do some small tricks."

"That's right, the Dao Discussion Conference has lost its original meaning." Zuo Jing sighed.

During the first discussion, the Zhang family gave up the demeanor of the aristocratic family, obviously targeting a junior, and the second round of the Yuan family played tricks, it was obviously just a competition, there were only four great families and no outsiders , why care about those wins and losses.

Zuo Jing felt deeply sad and powerless about the conference, or about the changes in the aristocratic family.

"Sister Zuo, don't worry about it, just take care of our own family." Liu Yi swallowed his wine, put the glass on the table, and let out a sigh of relief, "Well, at least your family has no problems, unlike ours. The family is still fighting."

Liu Yi reached out to grab the jug, but was blocked by Liu Qinyan.

"Father, you should drink tea like Aunt Zuo." Liu Qinyan picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Liu Yi.

Seeing that Liu Qinyan spoke first, Zuo Yu hurriedly put two chopsticks of spinach into the mother's bowl, and said, "Yes, mother, you should eat more, let's talk about business after dinner."

Under the filial piety of the daughters of each family, the two patriarchs changed the subject, and did not let this good lunch be spent in dullness.

When the afternoon started, Zhang and Yuan's family returned to the morning venue, and the disciples of each family also formed a square in a peaceful manner.Under the mediation of the abbot, the heads of the four families have resumed their normal communication methods.

"This is the third game between our Zuo family and the Liu family. Our Zuo family forfeited and conceded." Zuo Jing got up and said.

The faces of the two Patriarchs Zhang Feng and Yuan Shengchang did not change, as if they had already guessed it.On the other hand, Yuan Run's partner hid in the corner of Yuan Ting, squinted his eyes, twitched the corners of his stiff mouth, as if he was very satisfied with the decision, and coughed loudly twice.

When Zuo Jing proposed to admit defeat, the Patriarch of the Zhang family kept knocking on the table in front of him with his hands until he heard the sound of coughing, then he stopped and clenched his fists, as if he had made a decision.

"Since this is the case, why not change the remaining three games as well."

Hearing that the Patriarch of the Zhang family wanted to make a change, Liu Yi asked in surprise, "What kind of change?"

The Patriarch of the Zhang family pondered for a while, and said: "Why don't the Liu family and the Yuan family compete first, if the Liu family wins, they will naturally decide the last place, and then our Zhang family and the Liu family will determine the No. 1 ownership. If the Liu family If we lose, the match between our Zhang family and the Liu family can be omitted, which saves time."

"I have no objection. Anyway, this conference is like this, so there is no need to worry about the number of rounds." Liu Yi responded casually.

Zuo Jing also felt a little cold, and said coldly, "No objection."

"I also agree with the proposal of the Patriarch of the Zhang family."

The abbot of Changning Temple saw that the four patriarchs had unified their opinions. Although he felt a little regretful, he didn't say much, "In that case, let's invite the four players from the competition to enter the arena."

Liu Qinyan supported Chu Liu to the field, while Yuan Run followed behind the man with the cap, like a follower.

"Amitabha, if the four are ready, let's start."

Liu Qinyan directly took out the silver talisman, made gestures, saw a bright golden light appearing on her body, and knew that it was Chu Liu who was chanting scriptures and blessing, Liu Qinyan, who had no worries, quickly moved forward and approached the man with the hat.

Yuan Run did not speak provocatively this time, but stood quietly behind his partner.

The man with the hat first glanced at Chu Liu, and found that Chu Liu had no intention of attacking, he was a little relieved, and turned to look at Liu Qinyan ferociously.

"Hehe, little princess of the Liu family, I wonder if your death can change the Liu family's sky?"

Liu Qinyan looked at the man's mouth and understood what he was going to say. It seemed that this man had a grudge against their Liu family and wanted to kill her.

The man in the hat finished speaking, took the fan from Yuan Run, opened it completely, and threw it at Liu Qinyan.Yuan Run's fan has a mechanism. When the fan is fully opened, it will pull out the outer iron piece, making the whole fan extremely sharp. In addition, when the man in the hat throws it, the fan is attached with mana. Once it touches Liu Qinyan will cut off the shield on her body.

Knowing its power, Liu Qinyan chose to avoid its sharp edge, stopped and turned around to avoid this wave of attacks.

On the sixth day, seeing that Liu Qinyan had nothing to resist, he threw the alms bowl to Liu Qinyan, "Qinyan, go on."

Liu Qinyan heard the sound, took the begging bowl, and knocked the flying fan out of the arena.After finishing the beating, Liu Qinyan took a special look at the begging bowl and found that there was no crack in the begging bowl, so she returned it to Chu Liu in peace.

Seeing that the blow failed, the man in the hat was not surprised, but turned to Yuan Run and said, "You are useless, get out!"

Although the man with the hat lowered his voice, Chu Liu and Liu Qinyan still noticed it. They thought Yuan Run would suddenly rise up and question the man, but they didn't expect Yuan Run to just smile embarrassingly and leave the area with his hands clasped.

The disciples on the field didn't know what happened, and they all felt a little baffled, and whispered to each other, while Liu Yi, who was sitting in the pavilion, looked at Patriarch Yuan suspiciously, as if to confirm whether it was his trick or not.

"This trash is gone, so I can play with you guys, giggling."

The laughter made Chu Liu's face tremble, and he felt a little familiar. He subconsciously observed the man's aura with yin and yang eyes, but what he saw was gray.

The man in the hat walked towards Liu Qinyan step by step, even if he stepped on the silver talisman, he didn't care, and let Liu Qinyan make seals with his hands, trapping him with chains.

"Oh, is that so?" the man said sarcastically.

Liu Qinyan frowned, took out five yellow talismans from the talisman box one after another, and used her mana to throw the talisman papers on the ground beside the man, forming a five-star trap. "Fall." A force of thunder and lightning fell on the chain.

The man in the hat seemed to feel the threat of thunder and lightning, so he stopped holding it up and lowered his head to let the hat slip off, revealing the talisman paper hidden in his hair.

As the man recited the mantra, the white talisman paper on his hair turned into flying ash, a layer of red light shrouded his body, and the chains were corroded, falling off and disappearing.The man regained his freedom, pulled his clothes, opened the zipper, and exposed his chest.

"what"

"Gosh"

I don't know which disciple yelled first, and then the other disciples couldn't control their voices, and there were screams one after another.Patriarch Liu Yi saw the man's appearance, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he stood up in surprise.

It's not that this man has exhibitionism, which makes everyone feel embarrassed, but that there are three small talisman papers embedded in this man's chest.What frightened people was that there seemed to be something moving under the skin of his chest, which made his already bruised body even more frightening, as if there were insects feeding on his skin, eating flesh and blood.

"Insect charm?" Chu Liu said in surprise.

Looking at the man on the sixth day of the lunar calendar, he immediately thought of General Xu's illness. General Xu had worms moving under his skin, fell into a coma and gradually lost weight, and although this man looked very scary, those worms were only around the talisman paper. Movement, if you think about it, there is a way to control the growth, so it can be seen that this person is the talisman master who casts the insect talisman.

Liu Qinyan also guessed the man's identity, and said solemnly: "Use yourself to raise insects, you are going the wrong way."

"Hehe, going the wrong way? Winning is the right way." After the man finished speaking, he activated two runes with magic power.

The skin around the talisman paper was bumpy and undulating, and the shape of the bug became more and more obvious, as if it was struggling to get out from under the skin.Chu Liu felt her scalp go numb, and quickly recited the Diamond Sutra to strengthen her and Liu Qinyan's defense.

Liu Qinyan knew how difficult it would be to face two worms at once, so she made a decisive move, trying to interrupt the man.

The man was already prepared, took out a needle from his pocket, pricked his finger, and muttered: "Blood Sacrifice, come and help me."

Although it was just a few simple words, the man's aura immediately changed from gray to black and white. Seeing this on the sixth day, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and shouted loudly: "Qin Yan, come here."

Liu Qinyan reacted quickly, and immediately retreated to Chuliu's side, and then the wind picked up and landed on the place where Liu Qinyan was standing.

Chu Liu held Liu Qinyan's hand tightly, feeling a little scared.
