There's a Madman Sharpening His Knife at Night
Chapter 252 Weeping Willow Ancestral Hall
Different from the nervous people in the convoy, Lu Hu was riding on the horse, swaying, picked up Old Man Sun's filial wine gourd from the side of the horse, and drank happily on the horse.
Disagreeing with everyone's nervousness, Lu Hu was thinking about the large number of refugees who died in Qingzhou first, and then the disasters caused by soldiers and bandits, which led to deep resentment and the breeding of ghosts.
Why is Yunzhou now like this? Is it because Yunzhou itself is no better than Qingzhou, or has resentment spread from Qingzhou?
It soon became dark. Old Man Sun was walking when he suddenly pulled the reins with his left hand and raised his right hand.
The convoy behind him immediately stopped. The guards immediately pulled out their knives and scanned the darkness beyond the firelight as if facing a formidable enemy.
But after a while, there was no movement, and the young master's family rode up to catch up.
"Uncle Sun, what's wrong?"
Old Man Sun looked solemn and pointed to the ground in front of him.
The young master looked along, and in the light of the fire, he saw several deep ruts in the darkness on the ground ahead.
"Is there a convoy ahead?"
"Think of the worst for everything on the road!"
"The worst? What could be the worst?"
Old Man Sun let out a long sigh and took out his long knife, "The worst thing about it is our ruts."
"What? How is this possible! There is only one official road, and we have never turned. How can we see our ruts in front of us?"
"When your father came out, what did he not give you?"
"Before leaving the house, my father only said that he would look after Uncle Sun all the way and obey Uncle Sun's orders in everything!"
"Hey, your dad, it's true." Old Man Sun touched his waist with his left hand, and then raised his hand. Black light flew out of his hand and shot into the ground in front of him. Three darts were fixed on the ground.
"Turn around!"
Old man Sun shouted, and the guards behind him also heard the conversation between the two in front. They all had a stern look on their faces and quickly urged the carriage to turn around.
Old man Sun and the young master urged their horses to go forward.
However, Lu Hu did not go with him. Instead, he jumped up and landed on the carriage at the back.
Leaning against the cargo box, straightening his legs, he continued to drink his large drink.
Old man Sun and the guards also said a lot.
Riding in a carriage is much bumpier than riding a horse. Lu Hu swayed along with the carriage. While drinking, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened and he looked towards the darkness behind him.
If Old Man Sun was still with Lu Hu, he would feel a sudden light in the darkness just at this moment.
When Lu Hu opened his eyes and looked behind him, he saw the darkness in the distance shaking faintly.
"You know I'm here and you still dare to bump into me. You're really looking for death!"
Lu Hu sneered in his heart, but then he realized that that thing was dead.
He smiled, shook his head, and continued drinking.
After a while, the motorcade stopped again. Old Man Sun rode up to Lu Hu's car. In order to avoid being condescending, he jumped off the horse and stood beside Lu Hu with a bow.
"Sir, front"
"Did you see your dart?" Lu Hu said with a smile.
"Sir, you are indeed an expert and can predict the future. Now I, an old man, don't know what to do! Please give me your advice. Sun Qing and the Changxing caravan will be very grateful to you!"
"Hahaha, Weeping Willow Town is very hospitable. If we insist on entertaining you, then we will just follow their wishes. Why not go in and have a look?"
"Ah? This, once Mr. enters, if he wants to come out alive, he will be afraid..."
"Are you leaving now? You've been targeted. Even if you stay where you are, will you be safe?"
When Old Man Sun heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "What you said is absolutely true, just follow what you said!"
After Old Man Sun finished speaking, he took out a new wine gourd from behind his back and placed it in Lu Hu's hand.
"Sir, please drink well, and we will go to Zhenha!"
"Hahaha, go ahead, go ahead!"
Lu Hu laughed heartily, and his bold laughter seemed to have a magical power. It immediately soothed the already anxious people and gave them a feeling of peace of mind.
Old Man Sun was asking Lu Hu to make up his mind, but in fact he was seeking Lu Hu's asylum.
After Lu Hu gave him a reassuring answer, he no longer hesitated and greeted everyone to move forward.
Sure enough, before walking too far, the dark town of Weeping Willow appeared in front of the convoy.
"walk into!"
Old Man Sun shouted lowly, and everyone followed suit.
Among them, the most nervous one is the young master who has the highest martial arts strength among the people.
He didn't know anything about ghosts at all, and the unknown was the scariest thing, causing sweat to form on his back.
Just when the horse was about to enter the town, it was suddenly frightened and its hooves kept retracting. However, no one dared to leave the horse outside. At the critical moment, they still had to use horse power.
So they whipped them with whips and forced the horses in.
After entering, everyone felt that the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and it was dark and cold.
Dark houses stood on both sides, and the night wind made the branches sway and rustle, creating a dense shadow.
"Uncle Sun, where are we going to stay?"
"When you come here, remember that there is an ancestral hall in the town. Go to the ancestral hall!"
The ancestral hall is the best building built in the town.
The night was like ink, and the ancestral hall appeared in front of everyone like a giant beast.
The eaves are high and the door is closed. The rusty door knocker is hung with a rusty red copper lock. The mottled bluestone walls are covered with moss.
"boom!"
A loud bang in the dark night broke the oppressive silence, and the door of the ancestral hall was kicked to pieces and flew inward.
The convoy settled the carriages and horses outside the door and entered on foot. After entering, there was a small courtyard paved with bluestone in front of it, and behind it was a hall for worshiping ancestors. Two huge cypress trees were planted on both sides of the hall.
"Everyone is divided into two waves. One wave is guarding the carriages and horses, and the other wave is resting in the main hall. They rotate every two hours. Let me tear down the main hall door!"
As soon as Old Man Sun came in, he began to order everyone to take action.
Everyone followed the order and tore down the door of the main hall. Soon, two bonfires were lit in the main hall and at the entrance.
"Stick up your spirits and let me take care of everything you pee and poop on the spot. If you see something, as long as it doesn't come towards you, pretend you can't see it. Be clear-minded and don't take your own life for granted." There’s nothing anyone can do about it, you know?”
"Yes, Master Sun!"
"Okay, now eat quickly and regain your strength! If you see someone falling asleep, no matter who it is, give me a whip to whip! Even if you eat shit and drink urine, I will get through tonight!"
Even though Old Man Sun was respectful and arrogant in front of Lu Hu, he was very resolute in front of the caravan on weekdays.
After everything was arranged, Lu Hu sat cross-legged in the main hall, cultivating with his eyes closed to build the mighty elixir.
Old Man Sun and a few others were facing different directions and sitting next to the bonfire.
Old Man Sun pressed the knife with one hand and put it under his butt with the other to ensure that if something unexpected happened, it could be slapped and bounced back at any time.
His eyes were half-lidded and he was breathing evenly.
The young master's family was surrounded by tablets in the main hall. He glanced around nervously and threw the tablets into the bonfire from time to time.
Time just goes by slowly.
It was peaceful in the dark night, and nothing weird happened.
It seems that all the weirdness stopped when entering the town.
Time passes slowly.
The horses had fallen asleep standing up after being fed.
I don’t know how long it took, but a guard sat at the gate of the ancestral hall, staring at the bonfire in front of me, unconsciously distracted.
After all, he is a martial artist in the training stage. After trekking in the rain for the past few days, he is very tired both mentally and physically. It is already rare to be able to ensure that he does not fall asleep, but he can no longer concentrate at this time.
At this moment, the companion sitting next to him elbowed him in the ribs.
It took him a while to regain his composure. He thought it was his companion reminding him not to fall asleep, but he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the people around him immediately turned to his side and said, "Old Zhao, look over there!"
As he shook his head, he looked in the direction and saw the originally dark house on the left front. At some point, candlelight lit up in the house inside.
This scared him to his core.
"Grass!"
He cursed in a low voice, "According to what Mr. Sun said, pretend not to see it!"
But immediately afterwards, the lights of the houses nearby also lit up. As if they were infected, the lights lit up one house after another.
It seems that the people of Weeping Willow Town sleep during the day and are active at night.
The people at the door looked frightened.
Immediately, several people saw a dark shadow appear in the room, standing in front of the light, standing upright and motionless.
"Damn, there are just a few of them, don't let them be the whole town! Lao Li, tell me."
Lao Zhao moved to push against his side. This time, he felt that he was pushing against a piece of ice that hissed and breathed out. It was cold and hard.
In an instant, Lao Zhao's pupils shrank and he immediately turned his head. He saw Lao Li sitting motionless with his back to him, his head turned 180 degrees.
But the face was not that of Old Li, but the face of a gray-blue woman with glaring black eyes!
"Gan!"
Old Zhao was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood up. Just as he was about to stand up and revolt, he saw the woman grinning at her.
Immediately, I felt a sharp pain in my neck, and heard a crisp clicking sound in my ears. My eyes quickly flickered, and I saw the terrifying eyes of my companion sitting behind me!
"problem occurs!"
A loud roar sounded.
