When I walked back from the bridge cave, it was already evening, and I went all the way back to the restaurant where Master was staying. But seeing that the door was open, I quietly pushed the door open, and was about to turn around and close the door, but I heard the master's voice coming: "Ergou, you ran out for most of the day, why did it take so long to come back?" Anyway, you're such a big person, why are you still so playful?! When is today's evening class? ”

As soon as I listened to the morning and evening classes, my scalp suddenly tingled, and now the master assigns me more and more homework, and I can't sleep too lazily in the morning, and I can't sleep in peace before going to bed at night. At this moment, the master was sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and recuperating, and when he saw me coming, the master slowly opened his eyes and frowned: "Seeing that you have been flustered all day long, you can't stabilize yourself!" ”

"Yes......" I pouted, then asked with a smile: "Master, if the people encounter a disaster, and no one in the local area can solve it, and they can't help unless they are from the Taoist sect, Master, when you encounter such a thing, will you help or not?" ”

Master looked at me suspiciously, and then said, "We who practice the Tao, eliminate demons and defend the way, and if the people are in trouble, we will naturally take care of it. But if you are a person who bears a lot of karma, you have to choose someone, Ergou, you went out for a run, why did you talk so weirdly when you came back? Could it be that you have done something for the teacher again?! ”

I hurriedly smiled and grinned, "I knew that Master would help the needy, and he would definitely not ignore those people!" ”

"Huh?" Master snorted angrily, so frightened that I hurriedly restrained my smile, and then Master said, "What the hell is going on, why don't you tell me quickly?!" ”

I immediately told Master about Uncle Tong and the changes in Liuzhuang. In the end, I said: "Mr. Qingyi, who is still famous in the south of the Yangtze River, told them that unless they meet the two great masters of the Maoshan faction, Gu Tan and Master you, apart from the two of you, no one in the world can solve the matter of Liuzhuang." Master, I said that Mr. Qingyi is also true, it's okay to make trouble for Master, originally we should have rushed to West Lake to find the ancestor token, but he stopped here with a word. ”

"That's it!" The master glared at me, and then said angrily: "It's clear that you want to take care of this matter, and you deliberately complain about Mr. Qingyi, who used it to cover up your little thoughts, how can you not know as a teacher?" ”

I smiled: "Master, have you decided to take care of it?" ”

The master was stunned and said, "What's the matter? ”

I immediately panicked: "Of course it's about Liuzhuang!" So many villagers died in Liuzhuang, only Uncle Tong Sheng's refugees were left in the bridge and cave on the other side of the river, and it was difficult to keep food and clothing. ”

Master's expression gradually became a little complicated, he frowned, maybe thinking about what I just said, maybe he was thinking about something else, in short, he didn't speak, I don't know what he was thinking. After a long while, seeing that the sky outside was gradually darkening, the master spoke: "You go back to Liuzhuang with that Liu Tongsheng first, and then think about it as a teacher, if you really can't cope with it, come back and find a teacher." ”

After saying that, Master waved his hand and motioned for me to leave.

I opened my mouth, I couldn't figure out what Master was thinking, and if Master didn't go, then I'd go...... What a fart? According to Uncle Tong Sheng, when an ordinary Taoist priest arrived in Liuzhuang, he turned around and ran away before he entered, not to mention my half-bucket of water, I scratched my forehead, and wanted to say something to persuade the master to go with me, but when I saw that the master closed his eyes again, he was no longer ready to pay attention to me.

After a moment of stubbornness, I had to exit the room, and after closing the door, I walked out of the restaurant quickly. All the way back to Qiaodong, night had already fallen, I settled down and came to Uncle Tong Sheng's tent again, but saw Uncle Tong Sheng excitedly greeted him and asked, "Brother Ergou, where is your master Mr. Yang?" Is he in the back? Where? ”

I thought about it, and I couldn't bear to disappoint Uncle Tong Sheng, so I had to say: "My master said to come back later, let you take me to Liuzhuang to see the situation first." ”

"Come back later?" Uncle Tong looked at me in astonishment, but immediately smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll take the second dog brother to our Liuzhuang first, and you can talk to Mr. Yang about the situation, so that Mr. Yang will be much easier." Just ......"

I saw Uncle Tong Sheng's embarrassed face, and hurriedly comforted: "Uncle Tong Sheng, you don't have to worry, although I am far from my master's Taoism, but I guess self-protection is still no problem, don't worry, besides, you are also a fist and foot kung fu, masculinity is so heavy, even if there is evil, I don't dare to get close to you, so, the two of us go to Liuzhuang, it is very suitable." Let's go! ”

"Huh? Go now? Uncle Tong looked at me in surprise, and hurriedly said, "Brother Ergou, it's midnight on the third watch, why don't we go again tomorrow during the day?" ”

I pulled Uncle Tong Sheng and said as I walked: "Let's go, let's not divide our affairs day and night, how troublesome, it's not a big deal to go now." Also, I don't believe that I can't be on my own, and I am always told by the Master......"

Uncle Tong Sheng hurriedly cleaned up, then walked to my side and asked in astonishment, "Brother Ergou, what did you just say?" You...... You shouldn't be angry with your master, Mr. Yang, and take over the affairs of our Liuzhuang alone, right? Then, then you are still a little childish, our matter in Liuzhuang is not a trivial matter, if you are not sure, I think we should not go! ”

I greeted Uncle Tong Sheng, and walked quickly onto the bridge and walked ahead. It wasn't until we crossed the bridge that we said, "Uncle Tong Sheng, look at what I'm carrying on my back?" This is our magic weapon for slaying demons and subduing demons, even if my Taoism is not very good, at least the guy on my body is very powerful, enough for us to retreat, besides, you are a small village in Liuzhuang, what else can be a big deal? ”

Uncle Tong Sheng was even more stunned, as if he had already determined that my master would not come, but that I was alone and wanted to take care of Liuzhuang's affairs. But I had already crossed the bridge, and Uncle Tong Sheng was also a temperamental person, so without saying a word, he followed me to Liuzhuang not far away.

Because it was dark, Uncle Tong Sheng came with a paper lantern to illuminate it, and a large number of houses and forests in front of it seemed to be a village, presumably Liuzhuang. After a while, we stopped outside Liuzhuang, this village, it seems to be so heavy and dead, everywhere is full of oppressive dimness, I know, there is no one living in it, listen to Uncle Tong Sheng, in addition to the unknown bones buried in the ground, it is the corpse wrapped in the coffin by the remaining people after the death of each family.

As soon as he entered the village, Uncle Tong looked around, and asked in a low voice from time to time: "Brother Ergou, do you feel anything wrong?" I feel that the village is gloomy now, and I feel uncomfortable! ”

As he spoke, Uncle Tong shook his bones, and his tall and burly figure inevitably looked a little thin. I pretended to smile calmly and said, "In a village that has not been inhabited for a long time, it is normal to have some yin qi, and if no one lives, there will naturally be ghosts to live. But don't be afraid, we two big people, we haven't seen anything yet, we can't just be cowardly! ”

Uncle Tong Sheng nodded, but it was obvious that the two of us were getting closer and closer, perhaps looking for comfort for each other, not far away, Uncle Tong Sheng stopped suddenly, pointed to the door of a house in front of him in shock, and said, "Brother Ergou, it's not right!" ”

"What's wrong?!" I panicked, and my legs trembled and I glanced around, and finally my eyes fell on the place where Uncle Tong Sheng was pointing.

Uncle Tong Sheng pointed to the wide open courtyard gate and said hurriedly: "I remember that before we left Liuzhuang, we had closed the gates of the whole village!" Why come back now, this, all the courtyard doors are open? ”

"No, it won't, right?" I asked in a trembling voice, and immediately took a look inside the courtyard wall, only to see that it was desolate and empty, and the courtyard was a mess, as if no one had taken care of it for a long time. At this moment, I came here with the big hat of the housekeeper, if I just admit it, it doesn't seem appropriate, I have strengthened my courage, cautiously walked to the position of the gate, and hurriedly turned my head to Uncle Tong Sheng and said, "Uncle Tong Sheng, how about we go in and have a look?" ”

Uncle Tong hesitated, but he finally nodded, just walked to the door, he reached out and took a brick from the courtyard wall, followed me with half a brick, and walked into the courtyard step by step.

"Whew" a cold breath, blowing out from the inside, my footsteps paused, turned my head and looked at Uncle Tong Sheng, Uncle Tong Sheng hurriedly held the paper lantern in front of the dangling, and then whispered: "Maybe it's the wind blowing!" ”

We came to the courtyard, but saw that the door of the hall facing was also open, and in the hall, there was a coffin horizontally inside, seeing this, Uncle Tong Sheng was suddenly shocked...... "Then that, the door of the hall is also closed, why can't it be opened inexplicably?!" ”

"Uncle Tong Sheng, is this family also dead?" Although I saw the coffin, I can also be sure that this family is dead, but the coffin is placed horizontally in the hall, which is not a good thing. I asked this question to confirm how many deaths the family had, and how could they be so careless and put the coffin in such a way!

Uncle Tong nodded cautiously: "Speaking of which, this family is still related to me, but it is my cousin's family, an old couple, who have no children and no daughters under their knees, and died relatively early at that time." I also bought this coffin...... However, the position of this coffin seems to be ...... There seems to be something wrong! ”
