"That's right!"

Nodding slightly, hearing him say this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, and then asked, "By the way, what the hell is that thing that was attached to Wang Bald's body just now?"

"Also, wasn't the previous target of that thing always been a dog's egg, how could it suddenly be transferred to the body of the bald king?"

"Alas!

With a long sigh, Lin Yi's eyes obviously had some self-reproach, and then he smiled bitterly: "This matter, in fact, I am blamed for being too careless to underestimate the enemy!"

"At the beginning, I only regarded it as an ordinary 'road ghost', and I didn't take it to heart!

"But I didn't expect that this TM is not an ordinary ghost at all, but a mandrill with a deep path!"

"What!"

"Mountain...... Mandrill?"

At the first sight of the word "mandrill," my face turned very ugly, because I was no stranger to this creature! Several times, I had seen descriptions of "mandrills" in ancient books.

The "mandrill" in Lin Yi's mouth obviously does not refer to the kind of wild monkeys that grow in Africa, but the legendary man-eating one-legged ghost!

Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty once described it in his book "Hug Puzi": "The mountain spirit is shaped like a child, with one foot backwards, and the night is happy to be a prisoner, and the name is Xiao." ”

In addition, Ji Xiaolan's "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Scroll of the Sea" also have similar descriptions.

Legend has it that mandrills can run faster than leopards, and can even tear jackals, tigers and leopards with their bare hands, and they are the absolute overlords of the mountains, and they have a very long lifespan, and have been regarded as monsters since ancient times!

Even though I've never seen a mandrill, I don't really doubt it at all. Due to the particularity of the "life grid", I am almost used to seeing all kinds of strange lights, not to mention the mandrill, even if it is the "mountain god", I am convinced of it.

"Don't worry!"

Perhaps sensing the fear that flashed in my eyes, Lin Yi couldn't help but grin and comfort me: "This mandrill, the situation is a bit special, and its strength is not very strong, and it has been seriously injured by me using secret methods!

"Oh?"

Hearing him say this, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I couldn't help but quickly ask, "It seems that Lin Yi has already thought of a countermeasure?"

"That's nature!"

Lin Yi patted his chest with a conceited face, and said with a smug smile: "Anyway, I used to be a dragon and tiger...... Ahem...... Anyway, you'll just have to wait and see! It's just a mandrill, and I really didn't pay attention to it!"

While speaking, Lin Yi's face seemed to be very emotional, but in fact, how could he hide it from me?

With my eyesight, I could almost immediately perceive the gloom in his eyes, and he seemed to have mentioned the word "dragon and tiger" just now, could it be ...... Is he referring to the ancestral court of Taoism - Longhu Mountain?

Could it be that he is actually a Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain?

It seems that he is really a person with a lot of stories, and this can't help but make me extremely interested in his identity all of a sudden!

But since he didn't want to mention it, and even a little "secretive", I naturally didn't want to ask too much. As he just said, everyone has their own secrets, and as long as he has no ill will towards me, why should I bother to get to the bottom of it?

So I could only pretend that I didn't find anything, pretend to be stupid, and continue to play with him haha.

Lin Yi is actually a very talkative person, bored left and right, he also told me some of his own experience, and by the way, popularized the knowledge of "Taoism" for me!

I naturally listened to it with relish, and many questions that I had never figured out before, suddenly opened my mouth, until the dog's mother cooked the meal, cleaned up the table and asked us to eat, and I was still a little unsatisfied.

At the dinner table, I expected Lin Yi to continue to explain to me, but I didn't expect that he was reincarnated as a starving ghost!

Goudan and his mother didn't serve the table, and in the end I almost watched him eat a whole braised chicken, except for me who snatched a chicken leg for Goudan, and he ate almost all of the rest!

"Hiccup!"

About half an hour later, Lin Yi burped contentedly, looked at me, and then wiped his mouth a little embarrassed, and said a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten a full meal for several days......!"

"It's okay, just feel free, I'm not hungry at all!"

I'm really not hungry at all, because I'm still thinking about the "mandrill" in my head, and if it weren't for Lin Yi's confident face, I would have gone home to find my master by now.

After being full of wine and food, Lin Yi took out a pen and paper from the cloth bag he was carrying, wrote down a dozen things on it, and then handed it to me: "You are a local, right?

"I'll see!"

I subconsciously took a look and found that it was all written with cinnabar, red nitrate, black dog blood, chicken blood and the like, so I quickly asked, "Are you going to draw talismans?"

"See?"

Lin Yi nodded subconsciously, and said with a wry smile: "No way! I'm injured now, and I can't show much strength, as for you, ......"

Speaking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head, and then said: "So if we want to defeat the mandrill, it is estimated that we can only use the talisman seal, and unfortunately, some of the talisman materials on my body have basically been used up!"

"Okay!"

Nodding slightly, I took a closer look at the things on the list, frowned slightly, and then said: "Black dog blood, chicken blood and other living creatures, it's not difficult to solve, it's just that this cinnabar, red nitrate ......"

Speaking of which, I couldn't help but suddenly think of Master's "Hundred Treasure Bags", Master usually has the habit of drawing talismans, and it seems that there is a lot of stock in it, I hope it can come in handy!

So he said, "Okay, I'll figure it out, but I might have to go home!"

"The sooner the better, of course!"

As soon as he heard that I really had a way to find these things, Lin Yi's face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly urged me: "Without further ado, why don't you set off now! Dealing with mandrills, it must be the best during the day, but once it is night, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!"

"Good!"

Time was pressing, so I didn't think much of it, so I put away the list, and hurried out of here and headed straight home.

Strangely, when I returned home full of joy, I found that Master was not at home!

At first, I naively thought that he should have just gone into the mountains to hunt, but then I found out that the shotgun was actually hanging in his room. Then I found that even some of the clothes and daily necessities he used to wear on weekdays had disappeared.

"That's not right!"

It was only then that I finally felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly opened his pillow, and sure enough, I found the "Five Magic Classics" underneath, as well as a thick envelope!

My heart sank suddenly, and I hurriedly opened the envelope, only to find that it contained a thick pile of bills! About 20,000 yuan, which should be the tuition and living expenses that Master had left for me to go to college.

In addition, there is also a handwritten letter from the Master.

Basically speaking, I'm an adult now, and everything else is up to me. He has a very important thing to do now, so I must not look for him, and when he should appear, he will naturally come to me.

Then he told me that I must have a good understanding of this "Five Techniques Classic", saying that all the confusion in my heart, whether it is about the little fox or my life experience, you can find the answer in this "Five Techniques Classic".

Not only that, but at the end of the letter, he specifically instructed me that the matter of the "Five Classics of Arts" must be kept secret from others, and must not be known to others, otherwise it will bring danger to my life! He told me to memorize it as soon as possible, and then burn it directly!

Master is gone?

After reading the letter left by the Master, I couldn't help but stay where I was, and I couldn't calm down for a long time, and I felt like I had been abandoned!

For 18 years, Master and I have been dependent on each other, and no matter what kind of problems I encountered, Master has sheltered me from the wind and rain. Now, Master has suddenly disappeared from my world, how do you tell me to get used to it?

I even fantasized that when I went to college in the city, I would be able to work on my own to earn money, and then rent a small house in the city and take my master to live there, so that I could repay him for his kindness.

But now?

I don't even know where Master has gone now, and if we can see each other again?

At this moment, I almost felt like the sky was going to fall!

I subconsciously took out my mobile phone and frantically dialed Master's number, but no matter how many times I called, it was always a cold voice prompt of "the other party has turned off".

Master is really gone, he doesn't want me anymore!

No wonder he insisted that he asked me to go to school to get some admission letter yesterday, and now it seems that Master obviously wanted to deliberately separate me. I'm afraid that as soon as I left with my front foot, he had already packed up his things with his back foot and left here directly.

Thinking of this, my intestines are almost remorseful! I had known that I should have come back immediately yesterday when I didn't catch the bus, and maybe I would have seen my master "for the last time".

"Hoo ......"

It took me a long time to wake up from my depression and remind myself that this was not the time to be sad. Human life is at stake, Lin Yi is still waiting for my talisman materials!

Silently put away the tuition fees and the "Five Techniques Classics" that Master left me, and I quickly opened Master's cabinet!

Thankfully, perhaps because he was in such a hurry, Master didn't take his "treasure bag" with him, and when I opened it, I easily found cinnabar, saltpeter, and other items on the list.

Not only that, but there are even a lot of rune paper that has been drawn, as well as a set of talisman making tools, such as talisman pens and the like.

When I think of the difficulty of the "mandrill", where do I dare to be polite to my master?

It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, in addition to the things listed by Lin Yi on the list, I also grabbed a handful of rune paper that Master had already drawn, and stuffed it into my pocket, just in case.

With all that done, my eyes quickly swept back in the direction of the shotgun. With gritted teeth, I took off my shotgun, brought plenty of bullets and gunpowder, locked the door, and hurried back to the bolt's house.
