【114】The ghost in the old mansion
In the next few days, everything was peaceful, and I had a rare few days of peace. And because there are so many relatives who come to the house, I never have time to go to the old house in the mountains.
In the blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of junior high school, and seeing that I would go back to school tomorrow, I decided to go to the old house in the mountains today.
Although my grandfather repeatedly told me not to go to the old house after I left, the more he did this, the more interested I became in the old house.
Just in case, I also wore the dagger and compass on my body before I left. There is a saying that "the old house in the deep mountains does not live", the old house in the mountain, because it is uninhabited all the year round, has become the easiest place to "hide dirt and dirt", maybe there will be mandrills and wild monsters and other things hiding there, everything is still careful.
I went out at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and when I arrived at the old house, it was about half past twelve, which was the "three o'clock in the afternoon" in ancient timekeeping. This time period is the peak time of the day, and even if there are any mandrills and wild ghosts, it should stop a lot.
This is also the reason why in ancient times the prisoner would be cut at "three o'clock at noon", at this time the yang energy is the most vigorous, and the yin energy dissipates immediately, even if it is a person who is extremely evil, it is difficult to have the opportunity to turn into a ghost.
However, when I pushed open the door of the old house, a seeping yin wind was instantly rushing towards me! It only scared me enough, and I subconsciously took out the compass and found that the pointer really "swished" and kept turning!
There's really something dirty hiding in this old mansion!
Without the slightest hesitation, I quickly pulled out the dagger. With the dagger in my hand, I felt a lot more at ease, and at the same time, the yin wind on my face seemed to have subsided a lot.
It is worthy of a killing blade, even if it is a mandrill ghost, I am afraid that it will also have to scruple three points.
"Grandpa bless!"
Taking a deep breath, I grabbed the dagger and walked into the old mansion, which was said to be an old mansion, but in fact it was three very dilapidated earthen houses. In addition, it has not been repaired for more than half a year, and the house has already leaked on all sides, looking dilapidated and shabby.
When I walked into the old house, the first thing that caught my attention was a shrine nailed to the wall, which I had seen before, but I didn't know who it was at the time. But now I know it, I have seen the portrait of this person in Lao Zhangtou, this person is none other than the founder of the Maoshan faction, a generation of Tao Hongjing!
To a certain extent, this actually proves that what Lao Zhang Tou said is true, grandpa really has a great relationship with the Maoshan faction, otherwise how could he worship the shrine of the ancestor of Maoshan all year round?
As for whether he is the previous generation of the Maoshan faction, then I don't know. However, I don't think Lao Zhangtou should have to lie to me, what he said should be true.
Walking into my grandfather's room, the compass in my hand obviously turned more powerfully, which couldn't help but make me cheer up 120,000 points of spirit, the dagger in my hand was clenched tightly, once there was the slightest mistake, I would not hesitate to give it a moment!
"Hey ......"
I was cautiously approaching the bed, when suddenly, a strange voice sounded behind me: "You're finally here......
"Huh?"
As soon as I heard this, my face suddenly changed, I turned around sharply, and subconsciously waved a dagger behind me, and at the same time shouted in my mouth: "Who! ”
"Hey...... Very nice dagger ......"
The voice praised it, and then said: "Young man, you don't have to be nervous, I have no ill will towards you......"
As soon as the words fell, a burly middle-aged uncle suddenly appeared in front of me, as if he appeared out of thin air! What surprised me even more was that as soon as he appeared, the compass in my hand suddenly regained its calm, and the pointer on it did not move at all.
"Huh? It's ......"
The fox glanced at the other party suspiciously, and then looked at the compass in his hand, and I couldn't help but instantly pop out of my mouth with these two words: "Ghost!" ”
That's right, it's a ghost, and only in this way can I explain why the compass in my hand suddenly became calm.
A "person" who can freely switch between spirits and entities, what is this not a ghost?
It's just that in my family's old mansion, why is there such a mysterious ghost?
Doesn't it mean that ghosts are extremely rare? Could it be that he was raised by my grandfather? And the other party's next answer undoubtedly just verified what I thought.
"Hey, you have a good eye...... It seems that you have indeed grown a lot in the past six months! ”
The other party chuckled admiringly, and then said, "Not bad! I'm the ghost your grandfather raised when he was alive! ”
"Huh? This ......"
It's really a ghost raised by my grandfather?
Although I had already had this conjecture in my mind, I was still a little shocked when "this person" actually admitted it! After all, it's been more than half a year, and this ghost is still staying in this old house?
In that case, he seems to be quite loyal to my grandfather.
Then I heard the ghost uncle continue: "It's not time, I didn't plan to show up, it's just ......"
"Huh?"
I was just halfway through the conversation, but Uncle Ghost suddenly looked at me in surprise, and subconsciously beckoned to me.
Compared with the "little radish head", this ghost uncle doesn't know how many times stronger, and with a slight wave, the "little radish head" that has been sleeping in the ghost card suddenly floated into his arms.
"Creation! Creation! ”
Uncle Ghost couldn't put it down, looked at the "little radish head" in his arms, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be lucky enough to meet a person of the same kind?" ”
"Senpai!"
Although the other party claims to be a ghost raised by my grandfather, how dare I take it lightly? was about to yell at him.
The trip to Chongqing some time ago really made me grow a lot, and at the same time, I also saw the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes. At this time, seeing that he detained the "little radish head" in his arms, my heart suddenly hung up, and I couldn't help but clench the dagger in my hand again.
Although I knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between me and him, how could I watch the "little radish head" fall into danger.
"Don't be nervous, if I see a person of the same kind, how can I harm him......"
While speaking, the ghost uncle also deliberately checked the body of the little radish head, and then praised it: "That's right, it's actually the power of Kwai Shuiyin, it seems that you are indeed quite interested in the little guy!" ”
After speaking, I don't know if it was to make me feel at ease or what, he took the initiative to send the little radish head back to the ghost card, and then began to rummage through the cabinets, and finally took out a dirty little cloth bag, and threw it directly to me, saying: "Here are the mandrill spirits I have collected in recent years, so give them to this little guy as his rations!" ”
To be honest, at first, I really didn't pay attention to this dirty little pocket, but when I took it, my face couldn't help but show a touch of ecstasy!
Oh, my God! It turned out to be a Qiankun bag!
That's right! In addition to the fact that the appearance is not good, and the pockets are a little dirty, the pattern on its surface is exactly the same as the "Qiankun bag" I saw in Xu Jingyang that day!
This is really a generous gift, I quickly put away the Qiankun bag, and then bowed respectfully to the ghost uncle: "Thank you senior!" ”
"Heh......"
Uncle Ghost shook his head slightly, and then smiled: "Thank me for what, the spirit and soul beads are all given to the little guy, and they have nothing to do with you!" As for this bag, uh, it's your dead grandpa's ...... anyway."
Belch...... Is that what you call your master? Depend on!
Just such a sentence suddenly made my impression of the ghost uncle greatly reduced.
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
Before I could speak, Uncle Ghost waved his hand impatiently at me, and then took out a small dark red box from under my grandfather's bed.
"I'll tell you the truth, the reason why I've been staying here is because of your grandfather's entrustment, and there are some things and things that need to be explained to you! Originally, this agreement was made four years later, but since you came early, hehe, then I can leave this place early! ”
While speaking, Uncle Ghost Demon had already opened the small box, directly took out a palm-sized iron plate from it, and said with a smile: "You still don't know what your grandfather used to do, right?" ”
"Cut!"
Pouting, I couldn't help but mutter: "Isn't it the head of Maoshan?" ”
"Huh?"
Uncle Ghost looked at me suspiciously, and said with a look of surprise: "How do you know?" ”
"If it weren't for the head of Maoshan, who would have nothing to do with the shrine of Patriarch Tao Hongjing at home all year round?"
After listening to me, Uncle Ghost was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It seems to make a little sense......
"Take it, this is your grandfather's token back then...... I guess it's still a little useful......"
As he spoke, he had already thrown the iron card to me, and then continued: "By the way, you probably have already seen what your grandfather left you before, right?" Be sure to cultivate diligently, and your grandfather's hard work will not be in vain......"
