Chapter 26: Bait

Why don't you know each other? They're the people of that mysterious courtyard in town!

As I grow older, I am no longer as ignorant as when I was a child, and I vaguely know in my heart that these people should be the same as Old Man Jiang, people who do things for the country, but although they wear military uniforms, they are definitely different from ordinary soldiers. (You can find this site)

Nonsense, if an ordinary soldier can get entangled with an old god stick, or even obey him?

Over the years, Old Man Jiang has also occasionally gone to the town once, the frequency is not good, about once every two or three months, very occasionally, he will also bring me from Laipi, I am to go to the town to play, I have time to sneak away to watch movies, but I still have contact with the people in the small courtyard, some people are gone, some people come, and some people have been staying.

They won't tell me about the sensitive topic of identity, but it doesn't affect their kindness to me, as soon as I opened the door, the bearded man headed by me was the one who opened the door for me for the first time, so he greeted me with a smile: "Sanwa, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you're white and tender, why don't you say you're a girl?" ”

I gritted my teeth, this bearded man is called Hu Xueman (the screen name of the book friend is used here, and the character name will be officially solicited in two days), and he loves to tease me the most, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xueman, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you grow a beard and shave." ”

"This little imp." Xue Man's name is a bit feminine, so it has become a sharp weapon for me to hit him, he smiled wryly, and led the people behind him into the house.

I have never seen so many people in the small courtyard, and I secretly speculated where this Hu Xueman pulled the strong man from.

A group of people entered the courtyard and walked straight towards Old Man Jiang, a young boy who didn't look much older than me saw Old Man Jiang, and was so excited that he almost fell and fought, and it was easy to stabilize, before he stammered: "Master Jiang, I am from XX Dao XX Vein"

Old man Jiang smiled, waved his hand to interrupt him, and said: "As soon as you report to your home, I feel ashamed, we are scattered people, there are not so many rules, you don't want to be like this, ah." ”

It turned out that the boy was about to salute Old Man Jiang, and Old Man Jiang was the least particular about this set.

The boy's face flushed with excitement, and he said, "My master said that you are a person with great ability, and you can see you today, I am simply, I am simple."

Old man Jiang looked at him with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, signaled him not to be so excited, turned his head and asked Hu Xueman: "This young child, why did you come in?" ”

"This kid has some talent, and his master means to go through some training." Hu Xueman said respectfully on the side.

"Nonsense, this is a good experience? Our department, said to be idle, can be idle for more than ten or twenty years, once there is something, may not be a matter all year round, and how dangerous, don't you know, let the child come to experience? "Old man Jiang is on fire.

The young boy was a little scared and a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Master Jiang, no, no, it's not like this, it's the master who said that his ability is limited, and it just so happens that we have an uncle in this department, and there are many people in this department, and then he called me here, and he said that he wanted me to seek real skills, and really get in touch with the world that he can't touch, and the Tao." ”

Old man Jiang didn't get angry with the child, and asked, "How old are you this year?" What's your uncle's name? ”

"I'm 18 this year, and my uncle's name is Cao Xing'an, and I'm a road number"

"Okay, after entering this department, I won't preach the sermon, Cao Xing'an is also a person with some ability, Hu Xueman, no matter what, take care of this child, don't let this child participate in Operation 5." Old man Jiang pondered for a while and made a decision.

Hu Xueman nodded in response, looked at me, and wanted to ask Old Man Jiang something, but Old Man Jiang said: "You go and dispose of the cow carcass in the cowpen, be careful, the whereabouts of that insect are strange, I calculated that it is under this courtyard, but it is not a human thing, it is not good." ”

"The cow corpse is for you," Hu Xueman asked on the side.

"It's burned, but bury it well, you don't want to go over, but increase its karma, and if you can't reincarnate in a human car, you can't vote because of this." Old man Jiang commanded.

At this time, Hui Jue sourly said beside him: "Hey, hey, it's so majestic, why can't you see the people of the Buddha Gate?" Unlucky! There are no people in this branch of Buddhism, can you let you be alone? ”

Old man Jiang glanced at Hui Jue, and actually scolded in Shaanxi dialect: "Melon pun!" ”

Huijue was like a cat with its tail stepped on, without saying a word, he stood up and kicked the old man Jiang who was squatting on the ground to eat, and scolded: "The tiger is not powerful, you should be a sick cat." ”

I slapped my forehead helplessly, turned around and went to admire the flowers and plants very carefully.

Then there was a coughing sound in the yard, and the dozen or so people who came in didn't look back, and ran to the bullpen in a swarm.

Crispy Meat smiled stupidly there: "Jiang Ye, Hui Ye, you guys are so funny." ”

"Fat man, what do you know? Cut the habit to go! Don't believe it or not, beat you? ”

"Little Fat Wen'er (Fat Baby), do you have itchy skin?"

I 'admired' the flowers and plants all the way through, and I laughed half to death in my heart, crispy meat, aren't you quite clever? Do you have a baby today?

This night was unusually dark, there was not a single star in the sky, and even the remaining crescent moon was obscured by clouds from time to time.

In the courtyard, only a dim oil lamp hangs, and when the cold north wind blows, it makes a 'squeak, squeak' sound.

In front of the courtyard gate, there is a Dharma altar, the face of the paper man and the paper horse is in the dim light of the oil lamp, there are some indescribable, which makes people's hearts hairy, and occasionally the yellow curtain of the altar is blown by the wind, which always makes people feel that the insects are going to come out.

The courtyard was quiet, dark and dreary, and I sat alone in the middle of the yard, with a cold bench under my buttocks, and I had been sitting for half an hour, but it was always not hot, because I was cold myself.

In front of me, there was a strange, reddish liquid, a white, candle-like thing, which stood in the liquid and burned, emitting a peculiar smell similar to the sweat mixed with the blood flowing under the skin after a vigorous exercise, some hot, some fishy.

Around me, there were complex formations densely drawn, and a few black and white stones shining with ghostly light seemed to be placed randomly on a few points of the formation.

Looking up at the still creaking oil lamp hanging above my head, I scolded my cheap master for the thousandth time in my heart.

"Let the third baby go to lead it, he was born with a heavy spirituality, and almost the yang is not the yin, I have made up for him over the years, who can have his blood and vitality in your yang body? Do you understand? Only when his blood is strong can he lock his three souls and seven souls, so that his soul will not be weakened and dispersed because of the overflow of spiritual sense, and there will be no more situations where he couldn't hold his soul when he was a child. "This is the order given by Old Man Jiang to everyone, tonight to lead out the hungry ghost worm, I TM is the introduction, the introduction to lead the cunning hungry ghost worm to appear.

He was afraid that others would not be convinced, so he shook out all the little things I did when I was a child, so he almost didn't say that my soul would fly out of my body at any time when I was a child, so it caused a hundred ghosts to be haunted, thinking about taking advantage of my yang body, and he made a wise move.

Well, he was the one who begged to be my master!

So, if the cheap master doesn't want it, I'll be sold!

No matter how Hu Xueman repeatedly emphasized the danger, no matter how worried Huijue also expressed, no matter how much the crispy meat left here hesitated to replace me, I was placed on a stool in the middle of this courtyard and sat down, and I was not allowed to object.

Old man Jiang glared at the time and scolded: "He can't cope with this, so he follows me in vain, skill?" He started at the age of seven, and he practiced it in vain? Just let him sit there, and whoever dares to object, I will smoke whom! ”

So, I sat here tragically, I have been educated by him for so many years, not to mention the seriousness, respect for the teacher is engraved in my bones, even if I and Old Man Jiang like to sarcastically and sarcastically mock each other on the surface.

But even so, this feeling is really uncomfortable, and the discomfort does not prevent me from scolding him a thousand times in my heart, and the person who is decisively solved by a bullet can feel the same as the person who knows that the bullet is going to hit him, but still has to endure the waiting?

I don't know if I'm looking forward to the appearance of the hungry ghost worm or if I want it to appear in this lifetime, in this contradictory psychology, time passes minute by minute, and a dark cloud obscures the moon again.
