Mysterious World Tour

Panting, Tan Mo held on to the wall.

He had already run far away. Taking advantage of the moment when the girl brought back the roasted chicken and the aroma covered his scent, he ran towards the door with all his strength.

He didn't stop for a moment after escaping, and he didn't stop until his body's strength couldn't keep up.

Tan Mo has not yet taken off the painted skin on his body.

It was not convenient to take it off in this place, and he didn't dare to take it off either.

Tan Mo was very suspicious that Shaoyao County was probably no longer a county dominated by humans at this time. Although there were many people on the street and in the shops at this moment, Tan Mo still thought so.

Because he didn't see the government officials or anyone on patrol!

Several major families in Shaoyao County jointly paid tribute to the nearby rebel king. In addition, Shaoyao County was not a battleground for military strategists, and the mutual restraint between the rebel king and Shaoyao County was tacitly agreed to be neutral.

In this case, even if the yamen does not exist and there are no yamen servants, the several major families, even if they do not jointly organize private soldiers to patrol and defend, should still send their own guards to patrol everywhere after dividing the territory.

This place, looking at the numerous shops on the street and the large houses, is undoubtedly an area where rich people live, but even if there are no guards patrolling, all the people in a large house died mysteriously, and only a couple were left. A somewhat unusual mother and son. A house not far away was occupied by three unknown and strange things.

The three weird things even imitated wealthy families and drew lots to determine their respective identities.

The old woman, the young master, and the maid.

Extremely bizarre.

Tan Mo wanted to leave the county immediately, but thinking about Bai Guzi and the others, he had to find a place to hide. He didn't dare to stay near that house anymore, so Tan Mo went back quietly, left a mark at the door of Brother Jie Bodhi's house, and then ran away.

There is a tower at the gate of Shaoyao County. It has long been abandoned, leaving only a little place to block the sun.

Tan Mo climbed up and hid in the tower.

He took off the painting skin, just like last time, as soon as he took it off, the painting skin disappeared together with the box of rouge and gouache. Tan Mo could still sense it, but this time it was very blurry, and no relevant images appeared in his mind. In addition, no matter how he sensed it, the painted skin and rouge and gouache no longer appeared.

It seems that this painting and this box of rouge and gouache can only appear once a day, as he guessed.

Facing the sun, Tan Mo sat cross-legged and then began to chant sutras.

Facing the sun and chanting sutras in your heart is a way to ward off evil spirits. It is not only found in Buddhism, but also in Taoism. It is called the Golden Light Curse. It is more widely spread than Buddhism. Almost everyone knows it, but there are very few people who can master its essentials.

Tan Mo didn't know if this would work, but at least it would give him peace of mind. Anyway, he didn't dare to walk around now. Who knows if he would run into other monsters, and then he wouldn't be as lucky as he is now. .

Tan Mo didn't keep Tan Mo waiting, and soon, Bai Guzi and the others followed the mark.

They didn't check the mansion for long.

Tan Mo climbed down from the tower, clasped his hands together, and said, "Three senior brothers."

"Junior brother, what happened?" Jing Xukong asked. Tan Mo had undoubtedly encountered something bad when he hid in a place with enough sunshine to cause heatstroke.

Tan Mo then told everything about what happened to him in that house. However, when he mentioned the painting skin, a strange fragrance wafted over and disturbed the three people, so he escaped.

"It seems something is not right in Shaoyao County..." Jingxukong muttered to himself with a dull face.

"It's indeed something wrong." Bai GuZi nodded, his face serious.

"We didn't find anything in my eldest brother's house. It's just that my sister-in-law's spirit seems to be abnormal. In that case, let's go back overnight." Jie Bodhi said after thinking for a while, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"I know we're going back overnight, but how are we going to go back?" Bai Guzi spread his hands towards Jie Bodhi.

Jie Bodhi's expression froze.

When they came here, they happened to meet a boat coming back, but now they looked at the river next to Shaoyao County and saw it was empty, without a single boat coming and going.

"What about riding in a carriage?" Jie Bodhi asked tentatively.

"Are you going to pay for your trip?" Bai GuZi glanced at him.

"Namo Amitabha, poor monks never carry any amitabha that they will not carry with them in life or death." Jie Bo's face straightened, he raised his mouth and proclaimed the Buddha's name, clasped his hands together, and said slowly.

"What about the money your elder brother sent you every month before the accident?" Bai Guzi couldn't help but ask.

These were personal belongings, and he had never asked Jie Bodhi about them before.

"Of course you use what you have. Last month I ordered a set of cassocks and a string of fine agate rosary beads in the next town. They have been used up." When Jie Bodhi said this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Tan Mo He said: "Junior brother, I have a set of cassocks that I can't put on, but they're not shabby at all. If you don't mind, take them and put them on."

"Thank you, senior brother." Tan Mo said his thanks sincerely with a dull face.

Bai GuZi knew that Jie Bodhi took the opportunity to change the subject, but he couldn't say anything. But taking a carriage was a huge amount of travel expenses, which made him really feel sorry for his own pocket.

So after thinking about it, Bai Guzi looked at Jing Xukong and Tan Mo and said: "The toll for this carriage is not cheap. I really can't afford it on my own. Otherwise, third junior brother and junior brother, please give me a call How about the IOU? Let the four of us share it equally. When you have money in the future, I will pay it back."

Jing Xukong rolled up his sleeves, pretended to shake them, and then took off his shoes. There was a hole at the top of his socks, and now his toes came out and shook around.

"Second Senior Brother, do you have the heart to ask me for money?" Jing Xukong asked Bai Guzi.

When Tan Mo saw this, he shook his sleeves and was about to take off his shoes when he saw Bai Guzi pinching his nose, waving his hands and saying, "Okay, okay, my junior brother has been led astray by you. This money, You two don’t have to go out, fifth junior brother and I will share it equally.”

After saying that, Bai Guzi pointed his finger at Bodhi and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, do you have no objection?"

Jie Bodhi didn't value these belongings, so he nodded and said, "Of course not. This adventure in Shaoyao County is also because of my affairs. In any case, I should pay part of the travel expenses. My brothers also settled the accounts clearly. Woolen cloth!"

"Then let's go back by boat. As for today, there is no need to rush back. Let's go to the temple in the county to stay for a few days, just in time to ask what happened in Shaoyao County." Bai Guzi said after thinking for a moment.

"But what if there is a problem with the temple?" Jing Xukong asked.

"Then this means that the problem is serious. It is very likely that we will not be able to leave once we arrive, so we should stop struggling pointlessly and wait for death in peace!" Bai Guzi squinted and looked into the void with an unkind expression.

Seeing this, Jing Xukong nodded, and then put on his shoes.
