Chapter 21: Collection
In the middle of the night, a face popped in through the window and peeked in. It was simply a classic scene in a thriller movie.
Chen Tang only felt dry mouth and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Due to the dark light, it was difficult for him to see how his face looked. It was very big, a bit long, like a horse's face. His eyes were red, like two small lanterns, which made people panic. This reminded Chen Tang of the legendary image of "Yasha".
Subconsciously, Chen Tang turned his head to look at it, wanting to see if there were any suitable objects in the room that could be used as weapons, but there was not even a wooden stick in the room. Should he grab those books and throw them out?
At this time, the human face had already popped in, its neck was slender, like a snake's neck, as if it was about to squeeze into the room.
Chen Tang was unarmed and had not practiced the "Shanyang Sutra" yet. In an instant, he wanted to snatch the door and flee with Su Ling.
Swish!
Suddenly, a ray of glow burst out, and the light source came from the head of the bed, which was the pillow.
The pillow shines brightly, and a ray of rays of light shines, and the next moment, it covers the human face.
"Squeak!"
The Yaksha monster let out a sharp chirping, as if it was a clamped mouse. It was instantly wrapped by the sunlight and pulled it into the pillow, disappearing and disappearing.
At the same time, the pillow's light converged and returned to its original appearance, dark and no stranger.
This scene fell into Chen Tang's eyes and was stunned.
He blinked, staring at the pillow on the head of the bed, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
This movement did not alarm Su Ling outside. Maybe this girl slept late tonight and slept harder. It would be better if she did this, so there is no need to explain.
Chen Tang went over carefully, reached out to touch the pillow, it was hard, and knocked it, making a "tick" sound, and then picked it up and shook it, but still couldn't hear any movement inside, and it looked exactly the same as before.
But he knew that this thing was definitely a treasure.
A few days ago, Chen Tang realized that it was not a pillow, but a long box, but didn't know what it was for.
Normally, the box is definitely used to hold things. However, if this thing cannot find the opening of the mechanism, it is like a seal and cannot be opened at all. Later, when practicing the "Shan Yang Sutra", Chen Tang found that the pattern at one end of the box changed and turned into a picture of the ritual, and felt that it was a matching thing with the "Shan Yang Sutra"...
But just now, when Chen Tang saw the yasha monster in the box, it was as easy as taking out a bag. He immediately understood: He really found the treasure!
Holding the pillow - it should be said to be a box, looking over and over, still couldn't see any clues, the pattern did not change, everything was well disguised.
Chen Tang was full of doubts and couldn't think of any reason.
He didn't know why the monster followed him instead of following Zhao Sanye, or Wang Fu and others; he couldn't even be sure whether this monster was the one who was in the mountain temple...
As he thought about it, Chen Tang felt that he had become a primary school student who likes to ask 100,000 why...
After a while, Chen Tang no longer struggled with those troublesome issues and returned to the box. This is a treasure that can ward off evil and destroy delusions. So from now on, will he carry it and keep it away from you every day?
But that's the case, it will look weird.
In the martial arts world, swordsmen walk around the world, carrying long swords, and swords have scabbards—and also sword boxes, which are flat and square, and contain swords.
By the way, this box looks a bit like a sword box, but it looks a little bigger. If used to hold a sword, the sword will definitely grow wider and thicker.
"Well, it must be a sword box. Since it is matched with the qi of heaven and man, it should be called the 'Chenren Sword Box'."
Chen Tang took it for granted it, which was tall and nice.
Next, he thought about how to carry it on his back and go out to the outside world, not to pretend, but to protect himself. With it, he would at least not be afraid of being approached by evil spirits.
The problem is that when scholars go out, they basically recite books. It is really unique and eye-catching when they get a sword box on their back. More importantly, the sword box is sealed, without an entrance, and cannot hold anything at all. They can't even put a pen in. Apart from subduing evil spirits, it has no other function, which is very inconvenient.
The current situation is not full of evil spirits on the streets, waiting for him to collect them...
After thinking about it, he never got a suitable solution, and finally he fell asleep slowly.
The next day, Chen Tang got up, went to look through the Tianren Sword Box for a while, then went out to wash and have breakfast. After thinking about it, he left the door and went to the adjacent Wangjia Village to find Wang Fu's house.
Wang Fu was indeed sick. I don’t know if he was suffering from the cold or was frightened, and he was lying on the bed, looking weak.
His wife went to ask the doctor to see her early in the morning, and took her pulse and said that she was fine. She prescribed three medicines, decocted water and took more rest, and then she would recover.
Wang Fu did not tell his wife about his experience yesterday, but was afraid that she would worry. When he saw Chen Tanglai, he immediately said, "I'm not proud, thanks to you yesterday, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to come down the mountain for my brother."
Chen Tang smiled and said, "A small matter, as long as you are fine."
Wang Fu lowered his voice and asked, "I'm not proud, what happened yesterday? I was very upset and upset. Could it be that it was our ritual of returning God, and that something was wrong, which annoyed the gods and sued them?"
Chen Tang hurriedly said, "What's the matter? You're thinking too much."
"But why is this happening?"
Wang Fu looked confused.
Chen Tang thought for a while and said, "I think it might be the trouble that Mr. Zhao has caused. They have many grudges. We are just being troubled by the fish."
This explanation is unreasonable, but it is enough to fool Wang Fu, so as not to be suspicious and difficult to cure his heart. If he can't afford to get sick, it will be troublesome.
When Wang Fu heard this, he thought about it, and when he thought about it, it really seemed like that. After all, all three horses from the Shunfu Escort Agency were dead, and Zhang Hong was also captured. Although he, Chen Tang and Wang Xiaowu were frightened, they were at least neat and were not hurt.
Wang Fu sighed: "So that's the case, it's really a disaster. It's true that the world is dangerous and you don't be proud. If you sell your words to Mr. Zhao, you have to pay attention. Don't get involved too deeply, so as not to cause trouble."
Seeing that he accepted his words, Chen Tang felt relieved and said casually: "I have a proper sense."
When talking about Master Zhao San, Chen Tang wanted to go to the city immediately and go to Zhao's mansion to see if Master Zhao San encountered any strangeness last night.
After saying something to Wang Fu, he said goodbye and set off for Panzhou Prefecture. When he arrived at Zhao Prefecture, the guard at the gate recognized him and said politely: "My third master is not at home."
Chen Tang asked: "Where have you gone?"
