Chapter 14: The Old Maniac
After rushing for most of the day, I could have gone straight to Dayan Town, but Master stopped three miles away and took me to a nearby small village, I didn't eat for a day today, and I rushed so many ways, my stomach was almost hungry, Master actually didn't understand at all, I worked so hard for this Dayan Town, how did I get almost there and didn't go in, but went to a nearby small village, which made me so annoyed.
"What do you know, what if Gu Tan is in Great Salt Town at the moment, and we meet him? Now as a teacher, we can't fight with him, if there is a clue to the secret of heaven and earth here, we can only outwit, not be reckless. Master seemed to see my annoyance, and explained as he walked.
"Then we don't have to go this far, right? It's all five or six miles away from Dayan Town, aren't you going to stop and rest, Master? "Under the moonlight, I looked at the sparse scene of the villages in front of me, and my heart suddenly lost my heart, and I didn't know which village Master was going to choose to stay in.
"After the front slope is the village, this place is not far from Dayan Town, it is not close, it is not close, it is a good place, let's go to the village in front of us to stay, and tomorrow we will start to explore the clues that Gu Tan learned here." Master comforted me rarely.
I climbed up the dirt slope and was just about to go down, when I suddenly stopped my steps and said in astonishment, "Master, look, the land in front of me is a cemetery!" ”
"A person has 3,000 tall buildings in his life, and after he dies, he is not allowed to have an eight-foot square? Graveyard is cemetery, what's so strange! "Master walked down without any scruples, and our path this time was just to pass through the cemetery in front of us, and I knew that I couldn't say anything about Master, so I had to follow Master closely.
Hey? I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a new grave on the edge of the cemetery, because there was still a lot of paper money scattered around the grave, and the tomb was also newly repaired...... At this moment, the master also noticed, but did not speak, and walked straight out of the cemetery, I thought that the master was going to go directly to the village, but the master turned around and walked towards the new tomb, I hurriedly stopped the master: "Master, in the middle of the night, we should hurry to the village to find a kind family to spend the night, and then eat something to sleep, what do you go to the new tomb to see?" ”
"What to see?! Don't you see that there are people in the new grave? Master glared at me and pointed to the new grave.
Following Master's point, I saw a person lying on top of the new grave, just now I just hurriedly left this cemetery, I didn't pay attention to it, Master really saw everything, but I still had something to say: "Maybe I am reluctant to leave my relatives and am sad next to the grave, Master, should we persuade him?" ”
"What? In the middle of the night, we saw a man lying on the edge of the grave, shouldn't we people who do the Tao come forward to comfort and comfort him? Master accused me again, which made me feel embarrassed for an instant, as if what Master said was very reasonable, but he didn't give me face every time.
"Hee-hee-ha-ha...... Wang Shanren, Wang Shanren, you have no money to spend now, like a beggar......"
Before I could get closer, I heard the man next to the new grave making fun of the dead man in the grave, it turned out to be a madman here, and I lost interest at once, but the master insisted on coming to me.
I saw that the madman was about fifty years old, chubby, with messy hair and beard, and the clothes on his body were extremely shabby, at this time he sat up at once, pointed to the stone tablet in front of the grave and continued to laugh: "Wang Shanren, Wang Shanren, my old gourd quietly told you, in fact, I have money, but even if you have a lot of money now, you can't take it away, you are not as good as my old gourd, hahaha......"
"Shhhh Wang Shanren, let me tell you, I have a big ingots at home, but they all say I'm crazy and don't believe me, I know you're a good person, you believe in my words, and you've given me a lot of food, so I can let you take a look at my big ingots, hee-hee-haha......"
"Wang Shanren, why didn't you come out to talk to me? Now that you're sleeping in it, they don't talk to you, my old gourd is enough of a friend, right? I'll talk to you, relieve your boredom, hee-hee-hee......"
"Hahaha......"
This old madman, who called himself the old gourd, said this and that for a while, without any logic at all, and from time to time he snorted, or suddenly laughed wildly, which made me startled, and my heart beat wildly, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Old ...... Old gourd? Old gourd, why don't you go home so late? ”
"Old gourd? Who's calling me old gourd? The chubby old madman suddenly turned around, looked at me in a daze, looked at my master again, and suddenly grinned, those two rows of yellow and black teeth, made me want to laugh, I didn't expect him to be a complete madman, not only unkempt, but also sloppy all over his body, the old madman then made a silent gesture: "Shhhhhhhhhh There is a man in here, who is asleep, so don't wake him up. ”
"Wang Shanren here, did he take very good care of you during his lifetime?" Master asked gently.
"Uh-huh! He brought me white buns to eat every day, and everyone else beat me, but Wang Shanren didn't beat me, and he also said that he would tell me to marry a wife, hehehe...... Hahaha......" The old madman jumped up frantically and twisted his ass with joy on the edge of the grave.
"Well, if you do more good deeds, there will be good rewards, even crazy and stupid people know to guard your grave, it can be seen that you are indeed a benevolent and benevolent person, and there will be a good place to go in the next life, Ergou, let's go." Master said a few strange words to the grave, and then called out to me to turn around and leave.
"Two dogs! Two dogs! "When the old madman heard Master shouting my name, he actually remembered it, and I was about to leave, but he shouted my name loudly.
"You, why are you calling my name?" I was amazed, this old madman was a little panicked.
"Shhhh Ergou and Ergou, I'll tell you, they don't believe that I have a big ingot, you have to believe me, I really have a big ingot, hehehe...... "The old madman first leaned into my ear and made a silent gesture, and then grinned after speaking.
"Master, you see that you called my name, and this old madman also called my name......" I complained to Master in response.
"Huh! The name is what people shout, maybe you fall in love. The master smiled slightly, then shook his head and strode towards the village in front of him.
And the old madman on the side seemed to know my name, so he consumed me, and as soon as I left, he left, and said a lot of nonsense, what neighbor widow Wang was reluctant to feed the pigs to eat, and what village elders ran to Widow Wang's house, Yunyun, and finally insisted to me that his family had a big ingot, and said that this was his secret, no one knew.
I was dizzy for a while, and I was so worn by the old madman that I had no choice but to say, "Old gourd, I believe you can do it, right?" I believe that you have a big ingot, now you go home, take care of your big ingots, and don't let others steal it. ”
......Suddenly, the old madman cried without warning, and suddenly made me speechless, thinking what was wrong with him, but immediately heard the old madman's two words, and I was almost moved...... "They all beat me and called me crazy, only you and Wang Shanren know that my name is Lao Hulu ......"
"Old gourd, I ......" I didn't know what to say for a while, I really hated this old madman just now, but his words hurt me unintentionally, I just said that he was called an old gourd, but it was not my heart, I still regarded him as a nasty old madman in my heart, and an inexplicable sense of shame came to my heart.
"Hehe......hee" Soon, the old gourd changed his sad expression again, and said with a smile: "I'll go home and see my big ingots, two dogs and two dogs, you come to my house, I let you see my big ingots, they don't believe it, I know you believe me......"
When the old gourd said this, his voice was very low, as if he was afraid that he would listen to others.
"Huh! Okay, tomorrow I'll go to your house to see your big ingots when I'm free, and you can go home early and go to bed. I was happy and said with a smile, I didn't expect to make a friend before I entered the village, and I was a crazy friend, life is really wonderful.
As soon as I entered the village, I suddenly felt cold, a cool wind blew over, the surrounding trees were also swaying, pieces of withered yellow fallen leaves, falling on my head, I stretched out my hand to pull away, suddenly turned back, and found that the old gourd was gone, this madman, blinking his eyes, there was no one, and I didn't know where to go, I guess I went home, but I didn't say a word when I went home, really.
"Huh?" Master's face suddenly turned grim, and he reached out to take off the peachwood sword on his back, seeing this, I couldn't help but be shocked, Master, what's the matter, won't you just enter the village and be busy driving away evil spirits and killing ghosts, right?
"Master, what's wrong?" I asked, confused, and looked around, but there was nothing strange except for the cold wind.
"There's something weird about this wind!" The master pulled out the peachwood sword, walked quickly to the front, glanced around, and said hurriedly: "This village shouldn't have so much yin qi, could it be that someone practices the Yin altar?" Unless you use the power of ghosts, you can have such a heavy yin qi! ”
