Under the big ginkgo tree, men and women each took a copper coin, tied the two red threads of the copper coins into a concentric knot, and threw them to the branches. According to the rules of the Xuandu people in worshiping the God of Ke, if these two copper coins are hung at once,

If it is hung on a tree, it means eternal unity. If it is hung up twice, it is also a good sign for the two surnames. By analogy, it will be a good omen up to the ninth time.

Nie Kongkong held a copper coin strung with red thread in each hand. He said to himself that his uncle and Qing Niang had lived under the same roof for so long. Due to their status, they had been unwilling to express their feelings to each other. Now they finally figured it out. He quickly put the copper coin

She stuffed it into Sao Qingniang's hand, but Saoqingniang shook her head and laughed, and just said "Don't make trouble."

Nie Kongkong couldn't help but mutter that he was too busy worrying. He looked at Li Chan secretly from the corner of his eye and saw that Li Chan was just staring at the shrine. She really had no intention of worshiping the God of Zhike with Sao Qingniang. For some reason, she felt relieved.

Tourists were coming and going in front of the incense burner, but no one saw the Luo Tou family stretching out his neck, and no one saw the sandalwood smoke from the incense burner swirling into the shrine and condensing into the shape of a young man practicing law, with a look of panic on his face.

Colorful, shouting: "Who dares to come and collide with the divine chariot..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Tou's long neck suddenly poked out, opened his mouth and bit off half of the human form condensed with green smoke. Zhi Ke Shen let out a scream, and the whole marriage tree shook violently, and the copper coins on the branches collided with each other, making a continuous sound.

There was a tinkling sound, and the copper coins fell like rain on the bluestone ground, causing another wave of tinkling bells.

The tourists under the tree all exclaimed. Nie Kongkong held the two copper coins that he had not thrown out and stayed there. Suddenly he realized what he was doing and picked up his pocket. In the blink of an eye, he had half a catty of copper coins in it. However, he remembered that there had been a legend in the room.

If you take the money from Zhi Ke Shen, you will die alone and have no descendants. He quickly threw the money away and shouted: "Qing Niang, Qing Niang, uncle, get out quickly!"

"Uncle?"

Nie Kongkong looked at Li Chan, only to see Li Chan standing motionless in the rain of coins, only opening his mouth and spitting out.

A ray of demonic green light that was invisible to the naked eye shot out instantly, passing through the heavy rain of copper coins, passing through the flying sleeves and skirts of several men and women as they fled, and quietly piercing the pale skin of the Luo Tou family who was biting the incense in the shrine.

The neck was pierced without any trace of blood, flew several feet away, and then quietly disappeared into the night.

At this time, a stream of blood about a foot high shot out from the wound on Luotou's neck. He screamed, his neck twisted and trembled strangely, and someone under the tree shouted: "Snake, there is a snake!"

When several people saw the head in front of the long neck, they were even more frightened. They ran away hand and foot, shouting and crying: "Monster, it's a monster!"

Under the Marriage Tree, Nie Kongkong's lips were slightly opened, but he stayed in place as if frozen. In addition to being frightened by the monster, it was more because of the strange blue light spit out by Li Chan.

Luo Tou's neck quickly retracted, and his head got into the collar in the blink of an eye. He turned around and scanned the crowd with a hateful and frightened gaze. Tourists were running around in panic in the rain of falling coins. He couldn't find the attacker for a while, and held his head steady with both hands.

, then ran towards the crowded street, his movements stumbled, but his speed was amazing.

Li Chan did not catch up, but Xu Da jumped out of the arms of Sao Qingniang, walked through the turbulent crowd, jumped onto the roof of the tile market, and then jumped to the roof on the other side, looking down at the endless flow of tourists and people in the street.

The lamplight stared closely at the strange-looking woman, walking leisurely on all fours, chasing after her from a distance.

Not far away, there was a figure on horseback who was alarmed by the commotion and squeezed through the surging crowd. Li Chan glanced at the direction where Luotou disappeared, frowned, and placed it outside Longwu Pass.

It is not a strange thing for demons to practice evil, but it is different in Xuandu.

What's more, this monster not only doesn't cover up, but also kills gods. This Zhi Ke Shen is not good at fighting. If Li Chan hadn't taken action, I'm afraid the Luotou clan would have succeeded.

Not even half a month had passed since Li Chan escaped from the prison of Shenzhaosi. First, the goddess turned into a demon fetus, and then the earth god of Xiangxiong Kingdom sneaked into Xuandu. Now there are demons walking around and killing gods. This feeling is getting stronger.

There must be someone behind the scenes to promote the demonic atmosphere, and the Qingqiu Tushan clan has always valued bloodline and despised the demon gods. It seems that there must be more than one force stirring up the demonic atmosphere in Xuandu.

While thinking, the demon hunter came closer, and Li Chan quickly left in the other direction. When he was far away, the commotion was completely swallowed up by the excitement of the night. The tourists in the market were talking and laughing, not far away.

There was a loud sound of gongs and drums.

"Uncle...Uncle..." Nie Kongkong followed behind, panting, and asked without caring to catch his breath: "Just now, what happened just now? Coins fell from the tree...that...that monster...

Were you injured?"

Li Chan looked back and could no longer see the commotion beside the sacred tree, nor was the demon hunter following him. He smiled at Nie Kongkong, said only "The Qionghua Puppet Show has begun", and walked towards the place where the gongs and drums were noisy.

.

Nie Kongkong anxiously shouted "Uncle" and strode up to follow her. Just when she was about to ask, she suddenly stopped. The words Li Chan said when she was watching the magic trick sleeping on the wall came to her ears again. She thought about it,

He swallowed the questioning and clenched his fists with a determined expression.

I saw that a small bamboo tower nearly two feet high had been erected in the crowd. The tower had five floors, and bamboo tubes filled with gunpowder were hung on each floor. As the central axis of the tower rotated, the entire tower rotated accordingly.

The puppet master lit the fire from underneath, and a brilliant spark sprang upwards as the platform rotated. The tissue paper covering the puppets on the platform was burned away, and the puppets on the platform appeared and danced like living creatures.

The puppet master sang: "Don't rush the jade leaking copper kettle, the star bridge is full of fire and the trees are bright. All the puppets are delusional, making the tourists smile back!"

After singing, the puppets on the balcony also started to sing, and the cheers from the onlookers made the lanterns on the street tremble.

A mirage that was difficult to detect with the naked eye floated out from the trousers of Sao Qingniang, and Hongyao quietly appeared in the crowd, and they clapped their hands with joy towards the flaming balcony.

Not far from the excitement, under the monument of Yequan Dongqu, a woman in white and green clothes sat beside the canal holding a pipa. The sound of pipa played continuously from the fingertips, attracting dozens of people.

Onlookers, unfortunately, someone in the crowd shouted, "Isn't this the mute girl?", and everyone started to coax her to sing.

Relying on the bowl of decoction with the forbidden magic power, she sang a few lines at the top of her voice, but then her voice broke. After a burst of boos and regrets, everyone dispersed, and only one person remained under the dim light.

beside her.

Nie Er saw that the spectators were distracted and looked at Gu Jiuniang, who was still playing the pipa and singing hoarsely. He couldn't help but persuade her softly: "Jiuniang, forget it."

Gu Jiuniang was still singing and just shook her head at Nie Er. The rules in the opera house have been passed down from the older generation. It is said that when the play starts, not only people come to watch, but also ghosts and gods. Once the voice is opened, even if there is no one in the audience,

The spectators also have to finish singing this song.

Sing and listen to ghosts and gods.

Fortunately, there was another onlooker beside Gu Jiuniang. She glanced at Nie Er and thought to herself, what a pity, this is not the master who has heard the strings and knows the music well.
