Yu Wenlei slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and said to Chu Zhuang: "Uncle Chu, I have seen the knife that Aunt Meng said!"

Chu Zhuang's face turned pale, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Yu Wenlei nodded vigorously and said, "I'm sure I've seen it." At that time, Brother Baoshan accompanied me to search for curiosity, we met a big python in a barren valley, the python sprayed a mouthful of black mist towards us, it was Brother Baoshan who used the knife to split the black fog, he said that the knife was a birthday gift from his third grandfather when he was thirteen years old, and he was born with aura.

I didn't look at it because it was critical, but I ...... at the time."

Yu Wenlei paused, carefully recalled the scene at the time, and said hesitantly: "The moment Brother Baoshan waved his knife, a red light flashed, and then the black mist disappeared. ”

After Chu Zhuang listened, he thought again and again and asked, "Are you sure it's red light?"

Yu Wenlei said with a sincere face: "It should be certain that Brother Baoshan and I were in the enchantment I created in the black fog at that time, and when he swung the knife, I removed the enchantment, and there was black mist all around, and it was still obvious that it was red light." ”

Chu Zhuang nodded, indicating that he understood, then looked at the direction of the forest and said: "This forest is very large, if you are not careful, you may get lost in it, in order to save time, we will go up." After jumping on the tree just now, Yu Wenlei couldn't and had to turn over and jump on.

The two of them jumped and shuttled through the trees, and after about a pillar of incense, Chu Zhuang suddenly stopped and grabbed Yuwenlei to hide behind the branches, made a silent gesture and stretched out his finger to the ground.

Yu Wenlei understood, carefully picked up the leaves and looked down, a big python was coiled on the ground with its head held high and staring viciously at their hiding place, isn't this the blue-scaled python?

Yu Wenlei was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Chu, this is exactly the python I just said, I didn't expect it to escape here after being injured." No, isn't it blind in one eye, what's the matter?"

Chu Zhuang snorted, but did not answer, and then flicked his feet on the branches, and the person had already jumped into the air and turned into a sword, and slashed down with a loud shout.

The blue-scaled python probably didn't expect the enemy to say that it would fight, so it opened its big mouth in a panic and spewed out a breath of black gas towards the person who came "poof".

Yu Wenlei shouted, "Uncle Chu be careful!" threw several talisman darts with both hands, and at the same time jumped off the tree, preparing to meet Chu Zhuang.

The steel darts were all nailed to the tail of the giant python at once, and at the same time, Chu Zhuang shook his robe, and rushed out of the black gas in mid-air unharmed, and even killed the top of the giant python's head like a fierce god.

Chu Zhuang's sword happened to slash at the tail of the giant python, and it fell down with a brush.

Isn't this the tail of a tree lizard, writhing around on the ground and getting smaller?

Both of them were stunned, and the python took the opportunity to burrow into the bushes in pain. "Dare to tease me!" Chu Zhuang immediately understood, reached out and took out a piece of talisman paper to recite the words, and then threw it above the bushes, put his fingers together, and shouted at the same time: "Ice Falling Big Hail!"

The paper talisman turned into a huge hailstone in the wind, which looked three points larger than the stone lion in front of the mountain temple, and smashed down with a roar.

The thing hidden on the top of the head of the "giant python" was so frightened that it lost its soul when it saw this scene, and quickly got out and flew away. The big hail fell with a "bang" and smashed directly on the head of the "giant python", smashing the head to a pulp, and at the same time smashing a big pit on the ground.

Yu Wenlei was so shocked that his jaw almost fell, Uncle Chu is really fierce enough, Brother Baoshan and I tried our best to take advantage of the python, and he solved it at once.

"You see, this is not the big python you said, it's just a big tree lizard, it turns into a giant python to scare us, probably to absorb our aura. Chu Zhuang pointed to the tree lizard in the distance that had changed back to its original form.

Sure enough, the snake tail under the feet of the two and the snake body under the big hail in the distance all turned back to their original form, which was the transformation of a big tree lizard.

Yu Wenlei breathed a sigh of relief, but said in confusion: "It's strange to say, the giant python it changed into is really exactly the same as the blue-scaled python, just blind in one eye, otherwise it really can't be distinguished." Not far away, the thing hiding under a certain leaf heard this, spread its wings and flew away.

Chu Zhuang said lightly: "It is estimated that it overheard our conversation at the edge of the forest just now, and then ran here and turned into an identical python according to what you said." No matter how much it is, it's been a lot of time, let's go. ”

With that, he saw the direction and jumped to his feet. Is it what Uncle Chu said? Could it be that the speed of this tree lizard is faster than us? Yu Wenlei was still puzzled, and when he looked up, he saw that Chu Zhuang had already walked away, so he had to temporarily dispel his doubts and hurriedly followed.

The two walked through the forest without saying a word, and came to the bottom of the mountain, and not far from the foot of the mountain was Fenglai Town.

Fenglai Town, formerly known as Anci Village, it was originally a small village under the Fengming Mountain, and later someone witnessed the auspicious fall from the sky as if there was a phoenix falling, so they thought that it was a good place to settle here. After a long time of population gathering, merchants and merchants diverged, and the village was divided into a town, named Luofeng Town. Some people raised objections, thinking that the word "Luofeng" was not good, so it was changed to Fenglai Town.

The stream that flows down from Fengming Mountain converges here into a river, dividing Fenglai Town into two from the middle, and the merchant ships coming and going on the river surface are endless, like a prosperous town. What connects the two halves of this important town is the arched stone bridges on the river.

At this moment, Chu Zhuang and Yu Wenlei were standing on one of the stone bridges. Yu Wenlei This is the first time to go out of the mountain, he is curious about everything, he is worried about his toes, his hands on the pergola and looking around, as if his two eyes are not enough. Just as he saw Xing's head, Chu Zhuang pulled his sleeves and said, "Put it in the back line, when you get to the Qiu Mansion, don't embarrass Chongyang Guan like now!"

Yu Wenlei put down his hand and said obediently, "I know." Uncle Chu, what kind of place is the Qiu Mansion you just mentioned?"

Chu Zhuang said as he walked down the stone bridge: "Twenty years ago, Aunt Meng in your mouth, that is, my senior sister, left Chongyang Temple to live in seclusion in Fengming Mountain. I was following behind, passing by this Fenglai town and inadvertently rescued a young man surnamed Qiu, who knew that this young man was shrewd and capable, and later became the grandfather of this rich party. He remembered my life-saving grace, as long as I came to this Fenglai Town, he would strongly invite me to settle in his house, and over time I would get used to it. ”

Yu Wenlei blinked his eyes and asked, "Uncle Chu, how did that Qiu Yuanwai know when you arrived in this Fenglai Town?

Chu Zhuang said lightly: "He doesn't have the ability of an unpredictable prophet, but in this Fenglai Town, he has the ability to cover the sky with one hand." There are a total of four inns in Fenglai Town, all of which are opened by him, as long as I step into any inn, he will come to greet him in person within half an hour, and then I will go directly to his Qiu Mansion in order to save these troubles. ”

Oh, that's what happened, Yu Wenlei suddenly realized. The two walked and chatted while coming to a mansion.

Good mansion, just the two big stone lions squatting in front of the door are more than twice as big as the one in the hidden village mountain temple, at this time the door is closed, there is a plaque on it, and the plaque is painted with iron and silver hooks "Qiu Mansion" two big characters.

"This is it, go up and call the door. Chu Zhuang patted Yu Wenlei, who was stunned, and bowed his head and ordered.

Yu Wenlei let out an "oh", stepped forward and grabbed the knocker, knocking on the door. After a while, there was a "click" inside, and there was a sound of opening the door latch, Yu Wenlei took a step back, and then the door opened, revealing the head of a small guy, looked at Yu Wenlei and asked, "Child, who are you looking for?"

Yu Wenlei was just about to answer, but as soon as the little guy looked up and saw Chu Zhuang standing on the side of the road, his expression immediately changed greatly, and he stammered: "You... You're on the painting...... Oh, no, no, you're a Chu Jushi, please come in, I'm going crazy looking forward to you coming these days. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly pushed open the door to welcome the two in, and hurriedly shouted towards the door: "Go and tell the master, Chu Jushi has arrived!"

The second monk Yuwenlei was puzzled, what the hell is this, he looked at Uncle Chu, although he couldn't see the expression on his face, you are probably in the same mood as me. Yu Wenlei secretly thought, who knew that he was caught by Chu Zhuang by chance.

Chu Zhuang glared at him, and his expression seemed to say, little ghost, I know what you are thinking in your heart, and I will settle accounts with you later. Frightened, Yu Wenlei stuck out his tongue and quickly hid behind.

As soon as Chu Zhuang lifted his robe, he had just crossed the threshold when he heard a surprised voice shouting: "Engong, sure enough, you are here, now Qiu Mansion is saved!"

Yu Wenlei was curious, and stretched out his head from behind to take a look, only to see a grandfather stretching out his hands and running out. This Qiu member is over forty years old, with a seven-foot figure, a green gauze scarf on his head, a silk gown with a collar of soap and a purple luan belt around his waist. He strode to Chu Zhuang and leaned over, and shouted in his mouth: "Engong, save me again!"

Chu Zhuang's face did not change, he bent down and picked him up, and asked in his mouth: "What happened?" Qiu Yuanwai stood up and said hurriedly: "Recently, Qiu Mansion has been haunted, which has disturbed the whole mansion and disturbed the whole mansion, I am looking forward to your coming, and now I can be saved." ”

"Haunted, how long has it been?" Chu Zhuang asked casually.

"It's been more than a month. Please come and sit down inside, and I will give you a detailed explanation. Qiu Yuanwai came back to his senses, returned to normalcy and made a gesture of please, only then did he find Yu Wenlei behind.

Chu Zhuang didn't wait for him to ask, he rushed in front of him and said: "This is the apprentice of the sixth junior brother, I will take him on a long journey, and he will have a long insight, and call him Yuwenlei." ”

Yuwenlei's mind is full of question marks, I haven't even met Master, and you actually said that you took me out for a tour. Uncle Chu, Uncle Chu, you really know how to break around.

"Ah, Yuwen Shaoxia turned out to be the apprentice of the Chongyang Guanguan Master, please come in!" Qiu Yuanwai hurriedly led the two into the front hall and sat down to watch the tea. After the two of them sat down, they told the story:

"It is estimated that at the beginning of last month, according to the calculation, there were more than 40 days today, and there were three watches, I was checking the old accounts in the study, and suddenly the candle went out without wind.

I didn't take it seriously, so I called the little guy to the light, who knew that even shouting a few times did not see the little guy answer, I couldn't, I had to grope for my own fire fold, and muttered that these little guys are really getting more and more treacherous, if the old housekeeper is still where will make me so hard, I would have already taken the lamp into the room without waiting for the order.

As soon as I lit the candle, I saw a black shadow rushing towards me, and I screamed in fright, and the candle fell to the ground and went out. As soon as the black shadow was about to get closer, the amulet that you gave me was shot open, and he jumped out of the window and ran away.

I quickly got up and lit the candles, and when I went to the door by the light, I saw that the two little ones were lying on the ground and sleeping. I shook them both awake and asked what was going on. The two little guys said that they fell asleep while standing.

I later checked the window and found that the window had been smashed by the black shadow and had a hole the size of a sea bowl, and I thought it was a wild cat or a fox that was the work of a wild cat, so I didn't take it seriously and asked my family to fill it up the next day.

Who knew that this thing was extremely vindictive, and after being bounced off by the amulet, it probably hurt me, so it changed its way to torture me.

It knows that it can't get close to me, so it will go to the body of the servant today and the body of the lady tomorrow, which has made the whole Qiu Mansion unpeaceful, and it has killed a few thin and timid people, and now everyone is panicked and anxious, and almost wants to scatter birds and beasts. Engong, I was rescued by you twenty years ago, and this time you can save me from fire and water again!"

After speaking, tears fell like rain, and he bowed his head.
