Chapter 60 Leng Tan Yin Master, the inheritance of soldiers and horses
Yu Que's eyes flashed, he took a step forward and tore his claws into the body of the watchman.
Poof, the sound of broken limbs was heard.
The watchman ghost is just a result of the villagers' unintended death. They are resentful ghosts who are not popular and have little merit. Naturally, they cannot resist Yu Que.
Cackling!
I saw its body twisting and falling to the ground, puffs of gray gas popping out, and it stopped moving in an instant.
But the next moment, the gong in the hand of the watchman ghost sprouted erratic little hands and feet, and he was about to run away while holding the mallet.
The mummy is just a body controlled by the watchman, and this gong is the opponent's real hiding place.
Yu Que immediately stretched out his hand and easily took the man into his hand.
He stretched out his finger, flicked the gong, and chuckled:
"Little guy, if you can successfully help me cover up, take me to the depths of the village to have a look. Although the ingot is not yours, the paper money will be yours."
After saying this, Yu Que weighed his feet and put the gold ingot chestnut that fell on the ground back into his sleeve.
This thing is rare, and candidates generally only have three in their hands. It is the best ghost food, and it is also related to this exam. Naturally, Yu Que cannot waste one on a mere watchdog.
The watchman was in Yu Que's hand, swaying his little hands and feet, trying to snatch the gold ingot, treasure chestnut in his hand, and continued to spit out gray breath, trying to make Yu Que's face look bad.
Seeing that this guy was disobedient, Yu Que's smile faded and he snorted coldly. His consciousness immediately spread out and pressed on this thing's body.
The next moment.
The night watch ghost was suspended in Yu Que's hand, no longer shaking.
After handing the mallet in his hand to Yu Que shakily, he retracted his little hands and feet into the gong, like a turtle shrinking its limbs.
While Yu Que was carrying the watchman, he took off his coat, picked up the blood-stained coarse linen clothes of the mummy on the ground, and put it on himself.
That's right, the way he came up with to enter the village was to disguise himself and sneak into the depths of the village dressed as a watchman.
With this ghost as a cover, even if he collides with other ghosts, he will not be easily seen through.
Yu Que was ready quickly. He cupped his hands to the candidates who were looking at him blankly around him, then banged the gong and walked swaggering towards the depths of the village.
It wasn't until he took five or six steps that the other candidates came to their senses and immediately looked at each other, especially Na Fuling.
There was a troubled look in the boy's eyes, and he thought coldly: "Damn it! How did this guy surrender and enslave a ghost in such a short period of time..."
Fuling originally planned to attack Yu Que first not long after entering the village.
But he didn't expect that because of Yu Que's reputation, several candidates would come after him.
This caused him to worry that if he killed the candidates randomly, he would fail the exam. He was also worried that Yu Que would join forces with others to take his life, so he did not dare to take action immediately.
And now I see Yu Que easily enslaving a watchdog. Although the ghost is just a low-class ghost, it also completely proves Yu Que's strength. He must be one of the best among the candidates tonight!
Thoughts were racing in Fuling's mind. He gritted his teeth and decided to hold on and wait until the critical moment before taking action against Yu Que.
Especially when medicinal materials appear, when he takes action, he can publicly claim that the two of them are fighting over the medicinal materials.
In this way, even if he kills Yu Que in full public view, the county school should not expel him.
The other side.
Yu Que pretended to be a ghost and walked around. Although he didn't look back, his attention was always behind him, waiting for the Fu Ling to make any changes.
His concerns and plans are actually similar to the other party's. He also wants to find a suitable opportunity or an uninhabited corner to get rid of this child, so as not to affect his evaluation in the county examination.
It's a pity that Fuling has not given a chance so far.
In a deserted village.
After Yu Que's demonstration, the eyes of several other candidates also lit up. They quickly looked around, hoping to find a ghost in the village and use the ghostly aura of the other generation to cover up their own aura.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, one of them, except for one lucky guy, discovered something was wrong in the water tank where he was hiding and caught a drowned ghost.
The rest of the people did not find the wandering ghost anymore, so they could only peel off the clothes from the corpse on the road, then release the house god in the body, cover themselves with the breath of the house god, and pretend to be a ghost from another village.
A few quarters of hours later, Yu Que struck the gong and successfully arrived at an open space in the center of the village.
The open space seems to have been used by deserted villages to dry corn or build a stage. In such places, a few large trees are often planted to provide shade in hot weather.
But the open space in front of Yu Que was bare, without a single tree or pavilion.
There is just a big black hole in the center of the open space, and traces of Yin Qi are still emerging from it.
Yu Que stared at the hole and couldn't help but think of the treasures of heaven and earth that the two examiners said were poached by the county school.
He sighed sadly, then continued to walk forward cautiously.
Suddenly, he stepped across two small dog-like stone sculptures in front of the clearing.
Yu Que's eyes flashed.
When he came to his senses, he actually appeared in a lively threshing floor.
The sky was dark and there were crowds of people ahead.
Young and old men were all joining in the fun in front, and there were babbling sounds coming from the earthen platform, as if someone was singing an opera.
Yu Que was stunned, and someone next to him suddenly shouted to him to come forward:
"Luo Laosan, where have you been? The opera singers have started."
Yu Que's eyes flashed, and he looked at himself and found that at this moment, he was not just pretending to be a ghost watcher, but he had become the other person.
His skin was swarthy, his fingers were dry, and he was wearing a pair of straw sandals, which made his crotch feel cold and his pants were leaky.
Yu Que was stunned and even more surprised. He couldn't help but thought to himself: "Have I met the rumored real ghost market or mountain market?"
In this world, the ghost market originally refers to a scene where ghosts roam and gather together, creating a scene like a living market. In it, playing, playing, singing, clothing, food, housing, transportation, tea, wine, sugar, and rice are all the same as a living market. Corresponds to each other.
It's just that all the people who come and go in the ghost city and mountain market are dead souls, spirits, and resentments.
If someone really eats tea and drinks there, or even has sex with a prostitute, the tea and wine they eat will definitely be cat urine and dog urine, and the prostitute they have sex with is probably a tree hole in the crooked neck tree.
When people wake up, they often become seriously ill, or even have a slanted mouth or eyes, and die within seven days.
Yu Que's heart tightened.
But he did not hesitate in his movements, and walked forward following the "person" in front of him who greeted him.
When he walked into the crowd, he found that there was something extremely wrong with the seemingly lively crowd.
All of them had weird looks on their faces, and their heels didn't even touch the ground when they walked.
Yu Que passed by him, and without him saying a word, the crowd would separate into a lane on its own, and a pair of paper-like eyes would stare straight at him.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
In this way, Yu Que walked to the earthen platform. He listened to the increasingly rich singing voice in his ears. He looked up and found that what was moving on the earthen platform was a puppet.
The puppet is wearing a silver helmet and armor, holding a small gun and riding a white horse.
It did not fight back and forth, but held a gun and walked up and down the stage alone in tune with the babbling sounds behind the platform, talking to itself, without any highlights, and the music seemed extremely outdated.
Yu Que thought it was old-fashioned, but the "villagers" around him thought it was very beautiful.
Even if the string puppet is just talking to himself, every ten breaths, there will be a burst of laughter from all around, which is very lively.
It's just that the villagers' laughter is exactly the same every time, dull and weird.
Yu Que stood in the crowd, and he had a vague feeling that although the "villagers" were staring at the stage on the surface, in fact they were all staring at his back, head, and buttocks, and did not move away for a moment. .
In such a strange gathering, even though Yu Que was calm and confident that he had a plan to save his life, a thin stream of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yu Que muttered in his heart:
"Although this place is a dangerous place where the whole village will die, it is also the county school examination room, so there will be no danger that even I can't deal with."
He tensed up and watched the old puppet show like this for a long time.
Suddenly, there was movement outside the crowd, and there were exclamations.
Suddenly, Yu Que felt the eyes falling on him, and he moved most of them away, seeming to look in the direction where the exclamation came from.
He also turned his head slightly and glanced over quietly.
I saw another crooked man dressed as a villager, walking hesitantly towards the stage.
Unlike the "villagers" around him, this man's eyes were twitching and he was looking left and right, and he didn't look dull at all. No matter how hard the other party pretends to be calm, his behavior is completely different from that of the surrounding villagers.
Obviously, the person coming here must be a candidate like Yu Que who has touched this place.
The other party walked to Yu Que's side cautiously, not noticing Yu Que's existence at all, and just minding his own business in front of the stage watching the show.
Immediately afterwards, candidates one after another broke into this ghost market and came to the stage. The number of people increased, reaching thirty or forty people.
Among them, some went out to pretend to be villagers, and some barged in under the guise of family gods. Their appearance and behavior were undoubtedly more incompatible with the people around them, and attracted more villagers' attention.
Finally, the number of candidates entering this place reached forty-nine.
The babbling puppets on the stage suddenly stopped, turned their heads suddenly, and looked at the people in the audience.
The moment it turned its head, the laughing villagers straightened their faces and stood coldly in the middle of the field. Such a situation made all the candidates restless. Some of them became angry when they were stressed, and made the family god appear, and looked to the left and right with bared teeth.
"Bah!"
When the puppet man on the stage saw it, he suddenly made a dramatic voice:
"How dare you, Xiao Fang, to cause trouble in my territory! If you don't hurry up, bow down and join our army and serve as my soldiers!"
Whoosh, the words fell.
The horse-riding puppet in silver helmet took off several command flags from his back, threw them at the candidates who reacted the most, and shouted: "I will accept you as an errand, serve the immortal master, and make great achievements." ! ”
Poof!
When several candidates saw the other party taking action, they naturally would not surrender. Their faces were filled with anger and their family spirits surged out.
But a few screams sounded out.
Regardless of whether they were dodging or attacking, the flags landed on their heads and stuck directly on their Heavenly Spirit Caps, then controlled their bodies and walked towards the stage.
"Hahaha!" The horse-riding puppet laughed and continued to sing in a dramatic tone: "Eat food and work hard, and the good boy will follow my immortal master into the altar."
Several candidates were controlled and walked to the earth platform, and they were about to climb on it. They were anxious and struggled desperately, but it was effective, and a lot of dust was wiped off the earth platform.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Others bit the tip of their tongue fiercely, spit out a mouthful of blood, and sprinkled it on the earthen platform, immediately arousing bursts of black energy!
When the little horse-riding puppet general, who was originally laughing so hard, saw this, his appearance changed greatly in anger, and he sprouted green-faced fangs, black energy billowed from his body, and he shouted angrily:
"If you dare to disobey my military orders, I will kill you!"
He held the small gun in his hand, reined in his horse and stepped forward. With one step, he suddenly became ten feet tall. He was no longer a small and delicate puppet, but a huge and ferocious ghost horse.
When the candidates who were caught in front of the platform saw it, they all suddenly felt like dead souls and screamed:
"Spare your life! Spare your life!"
"Examiner, I abstain, save me."
Just when the spear was about to fall on their heads, a sigh sounded from the platform.
As soon as this sound was heard, the gun-wielding ghost rider immediately put away his gun and turned into a three-foot-large riding puppet, running around the earth platform with a clatter.
With a whooshing sound, several ingots of gold, ingots, and chestnuts flew out of the sleeve pockets of the screaming candidates and landed on the earthen platform.
"After watching the show for a long time, I didn't even get a reward. These few chestnuts should be used as life money for you."
An old voice came out from the platform, and then the screaming candidates were caught by the surrounding villagers and hurriedly carried out of the ghost market, disappearing from everyone's eyes.
The next moment.
A gray-headed old man walked out from behind the earthen platform. He was short in stature, with his heels not touching the ground. His face was blurry and he didn't look like a human being at first glance.
It looked at the gold ingot chestnuts on the earthen platform, making a strange sound in its mouth, and then took a sharp breath, and the chestnuts spontaneously ignited without fire, and immediately turned into puffs of smoke, which was sucked into its mouth.
The gray-headed old man sat down on the earthen platform, spread out his hands, and walked around the horse-riding puppet. He jumped onto its palm like flying, and his body shrank to three inches, running on its body like an insect. move.
Yu Que and other candidates stared closely at the scene in front of them, not knowing what this old man with a blurry face had to do with tonight's exam.
Soon, the old man stared at everyone and said:
"This place is my dojo, my altar.
I have been dead for many years, and the altar is silent. You strangers have come here today with gold ingots and chestnuts, but do you want to enter my Dharma altar and inherit my Dharma lineage? ”
Upon hearing this, many candidates, including Yu Que, were stunned and changed their eyes.
"Good guy, no wonder there is a ghost market here, and there is also an earthen platform. Is it turned out to be a cold altar!?"
Yu Que looked intently at the old man on the stage, and was surprised: "He is actually a Lengtan Yin Master!"
The so-called "Leng Tan Yin Master" refers to some immortals who have good cultivation. After their death, they have no disciples to inherit the Dharma lineage. They are unwilling to accept it. The altar where they live becomes a cold altar and a ruined temple. There is no incense. During his lifetime, he performed evil deeds and had residual thoughts, which became the ghost lying on the altar.
Such ghosts are often thirsty for incense, cold and hungry, so they go around recruiting people, looking for disciples, and want to carry out "Yin transmission" to inherit their dharma lineage, so they are called "Yin masters".
If you meet someone who is destined, the Yin Master will pass on the Dharma lineage to the other person, and will also pass on the accumulated ghosts, horses, ghosts, horses, or family gods to bless the successor to grow up, renew the Dharma lineage, and fulfill his or her last wish.
If Yu Que read it correctly.
The little puppet riding a horse just now is probably the guardian soldier and horse of the "Leng Tan" in front of him, and the old man with a gray head is the "Yin Master" sitting here.
In an instant, dozens of candidates in the audience had faint joy on their faces.
Don’t let this inheritance come in vain!
Moreover, based on the black aura that the ghost knight exuded just now, everyone had already recognized that the ghost knight was a god-level soldier.
If someone obtains this Lengtan inheritance, among other things, they will at least pick up an eighth-grade rampant god-level soldier and horse for free, and become rich all of a sudden!
Some candidates couldn't help but blurt out: "It seems that tonight's final exam is really an opportunity given to us by the county school!"
"I have collected some very good medicine. If I can inherit this altar, the county school will invite me in."
Many people whispered excitedly.
Yu Que stood among them. Surprise also emerged in his heart, but he was still more suspicious.
If he remembered correctly, all the villagers in this deserted village were dead, and there was also an extremely vicious ghost chestnut tree planted... Judging from the combination of these two, this "Lengtan Yinshi" in the village "Why doesn't it look like a good thing?
Don't wait for Yu Que to think too much.
The old man with a gray head on the stage looked at the eager candidates, with a ghostly look on his face, and said:
"Anyone who is willing can voluntarily come to the stage and fight with my soldiers. If you can surrender, you will be my successor."
Immediately, a candidate rushed up and shouted:
"I'm coming!"
As soon as this person came on stage, he cleverly placed the three gold ingots and chestnuts in his arms on the stage, cupped his hands and said:
"Senior, I've put the money to buy my life here first."
Seeing this person's actions, many candidates had regrets on their faces and blamed themselves for being a step too late.
Others shouted: "Count me in, count me in."
Even if they were beaten first, two people scrambled to climb up to the high platform, hoping to compete with the person who took the stage first.
Anyway, they all had three ingots of gold ingots and chestnuts in their arms. According to what the old man had just done, even if they couldn't defeat the opponent's troops, they could just pay the money and retreat.
Master Yin Cangtou looked at the three candidates on the stage and said slowly:
"Is there anyone else?"
While everyone in the audience hesitated, three more candidates gritted their teeth and climbed up, placing the gold ingots and chestnuts in their arms.
As Yu Que watched, although he also had thoughts in his heart, he still chose to suppress it and watch with most of the others.
If you don't rush, this Lengtan will never be inherited easily.
Seeing that only six people came on stage, the Yin Master Cangtou sighed, blew at the soldiers and horses in his hands, and said: "Go."
The next moment.
Just when everyone thought there would be a thrilling and exciting battle scene on the stage, poof!
The sound of several sharp spears piercing the skull resounded.
The six candidates who were full of fighting spirit had not yet made any move, so they all stood frozen on the spot, their faces frozen, and there were huge bloody holes between their eyebrows.
Ta-ta!
The puppet boy on horseback stabbed all six people to death with one shot, and then ran back to the Yin Master Cang Tou.
All of a sudden.
The audience was silent, everyone looked horrified and stared at the scene on the stage.
Even Yu Que, no matter how vigilant he was, never expected that the candidates on stage would die so neatly.
And this is not over yet, I saw the Yin Master Cangtou smiling secretly: "You are the ones who came to my altar voluntarily, no wonder, no blame me."
It opened its mouth impatiently and sucked in fiercely, sucking in the eighteen gold ingots, the souls of six candidates and their family gods, all to its side, and then made a crunching sound in its mouth.
Waves of screams came from the souls of the candidates: "Ahhhh!"
Under the horrified gazes of Yu Que and others, the Cangtou chewed the six souls and the six Tao family gods for a long time, then lowered his head, spit out six clouds of gray air, and pinched the gray air with his fingers.
The beast was like a sugar-blowing man, blowing out six new soldiers and horses in its hands.
These six soldiers and horses looked the same as the six candidates just now, and they were like puppets with dull faces.
After receiving a shout from the little puppet general, they all moved away and submissively joined the other party's group, wandering around the stage.
At this time, Master Yin Cangtou raised his head again, pointed at the group of puppet soldiers and horses on the altar, and said with a smile:
"Our troops and horses are rich again. You strangers, please come up and give it a try again!"
When Yu Que and others saw it, they couldn't help but step back.
But as soon as they stepped back, they felt a chill on their backs, as if someone was pressing against them, a chill on their necks, as if someone was licking them, and someone was blowing air-conditioning next to their ears.
Under the earthen platform, the villagers' ghosts were seen rubbing shoulders and squeezing tightly, tightly surrounding the remaining candidates.
These villagers seemed to be the scattered troops of Master Lengtan Yin.
