Chapter 22: The Seven Rats Worship the Coffin

"What? What the?! Master has found you! ”

"Hmm......" I nodded elegantly and reservedly.

"What? What the?! Master actually took you as an apprentice! ”

"Hmm......" I continued to nod elegantly and reservedly.

"What? What the?! You even said yes! ”

"Uh-huh......" I nodded gracefully and reservedly for the third time.

"Hahaha, the sky and the earth, I finally opened my eyes, Ye Xiaoluan, dead chick, from now on I will be your senior brother, come on, come on, call Senior Brother Changsheng...... The little junior sister will give the senior brother a back and rub her shoulders, hahaha. ”

"You...... You little Taoist priest, who is your junior sister, I am your sister, I am your ghost sister! "This time I failed to maintain my elegant and reserved image, and quarreled with Changsheng.

Of course, Changsheng is stupid and doesn't know what happened that night, and he still fights with me heartlessly. And I thought of more things, the illness of the little broken Taoist, or fate, seemed to be able to change his life against the sky......

Because I now know the truth, I have been paying close attention to the observation for several days after that, but I found that this little path did not become weak, except for some easy sleepiness, it looked extremely healthy, and it did not look like a person who died early at all, and I even began to doubt Master's judgment.

But if Master's judgment is correct, then what should be done?

……

There are three masters and apprentices, people and ghosts have different paths, coarse tea and light food, but they are exceptionally calm. But the dull days didn't last long, and the messy world soon swept the turmoil to Changxian Temple, which is now Santa Maria Girls' School.

Ma Dudu of Guangbei and Chen Dashuai of Guangnan started a war, the battle was very fierce, but it was also quickly divided into winners and losers, Ma Dudu was defeated on all fronts, and his rout army fled before plundering, which made the entire Yunzhou city ruined, but fortunately, Santa Maria Girls' School moved into the Changxian Temple on the green hillside in the suburbs, so it was not very noticeable, and escaped a catastrophe. The city of Yunzhou was in chaos, and most of the families in the city sent letters asking their children not to return to the city, so they stayed at school and waited and saw the situation before making a decision. Yin Ying and Liu Ying were supposed to graduate this year, but they had to extend their time and continue to stay in school.

This is very happy for a certain little Taoist, although Yin Ying is still lukewarm to him, but he still hasn't given up, even I have to feel: "What an infatuated little Taoist!" ”

Only two days after the rout of Madutu's army withdrew, Chen Dashuai's army came, because of the arrival of the victor to maintain order, the situation gradually stabilized, but soon a battalion of troops marched into Changxian Temple, to expropriate this place as a temporary military camp.

Because Changxian Guan is now a St. Mary's Girls' School opened by foreigners, the principal Lao Reis is British, and Yunzhou also has a British consulate to support him, so he has the confidence to bargain with these hooligan army commanders.

In the end, without seeking the consent of the landlord here, Lao Reis and Zhou Yingda reached an agreement. The agreement stipulated that one-third of the western part of Changxian Temple would be assigned to the army as a temporary garrison for a period of three months, and that all soldiers, including officers, would not be allowed to set foot in the school without the permission of Lao Reis.

The sad thing is that Changsheng's side courtyard was on the west side of Changxian Temple as soon as he entered it, so these unreasonable hooligans with guns directly drove Changsheng out, and this side courtyard became the residence of several of their officers.

I said to Changsheng viciously: "Look at the old lady to go and kill these hooligan cubs half at night!" Let them know that ghost girls are not easy to mess with! ”

"Xiao Luan'er, don't go, these soldiers are too evil, it's better to provoke less." Ying Toad said calmly.

"Oh, Master......" I replied weakly, but I was still thinking about my own thoughts.

Now that the huge Immortal Temple has no place, the military camp in the west can't stay, and the Immortal Mary in the east is willing to go, so that he can be closer to his Yin Ying, but it is very inconvenient to go to the men's dormitory, and his master is very inconvenient...... It was a bit homeless for a while.

"Little Taoist, why don't we go to Laojun Pavilion, although most of it has collapsed, but we can still live in it." I saw Changsheng's sad face, so I suggested.

"Lao Jun Pavilion? This...... This is not good, you must know that Jiu Niang hanged herself there, and the ghost baby was also haunted there at the beginning, and I feel panicked when I think about it. "Changsheng's heart has palpitations.

"Dead people? Ghost? The old woman has been dealing with them all her life, and she is very familiar, but there is nothing to be afraid of...... Then let's go to Laojun Pavilion to settle down temporarily! "Master Ying Toad has the final word.

Thinking that Jiu Niang and the ghost baby had disappeared, and with such a fairy-like figure as the master, Changsheng felt a lot more at ease, so he didn't object anymore.

But I didn't expect that on the third day that this group of soldiers was stationed, and it was also the third night that we lived in Laojun Pavilion, something strange happened, and the place where the strange thing happened was in Laojun Pavilion.

On this night, the moon is getting brighter and brighter, the starlight is getting more and more ethereal, the blue sky is so deep, the moon like a jade plate is passing through the clouds, hanging high in the air, looking down on the world, blooming with cold light, like an angel who does not eat the fireworks of the world, noble with cold.

Because ghosts don't need to sleep, my mind wanders in this enchanting night, and this enchanting night makes me drunk and unable to help myself. But my poetic mood was quickly broken by Changsheng, because this little Taoist priest was going to pee, hey, it really ruined the atmosphere.

So the little Taoist priest went around the path to the back of the ruins of the Laojun Pavilion, facing the bright moon and starry sky to prepare to release the water.

Changsheng was brewing, and after a moment he suddenly said, "I said...... Little junior sister, please close your eyes, if you stare at it like this, it will be difficult for senior brother to enter the state. ”

"Cut, I'm not interested in children, besides, it's not the first time I've seen it!" I deliberately went against the little Taoist.

"You ......" he choked on my words.

"Alright, alright...... I won't watch it, hurry up! I saw that this little broken road looked helpless, so I took pity on him.

At this moment, the night became dark and dreary, as if the boundless thick ink was heavily smeared on the sky, and even the glimmer of the stars was gone, and a gust of yin wind blew into Changsheng's clothes, and he suddenly got goosebumps, and he couldn't help complaining: "What the hell, why is it so cold all of a sudden......"

After solving the trivial things in life, the little Taoist priest was relaxed, he trotted along the trail and wanted to go back quickly, but the distance of these dozens of steps, it seemed that he had not finished walking for more than ten minutes, and Changsheng's sleepiness was completely gone, he didn't believe it, this must be his delusion!

The trail was rugged, Changsheng simply ran, estimating that he should have run five or six hundred meters, and he was a little out of breath for a while.

But we still haven't been able to see Laojun Pavilion, there is still a lonely path in front of us, and in the hazy moonlight, the path reveals an endless deep blue, stretching into the distance, far away.

"Leaf ...... Ye Xiaoluan, did we run into a ghost hitting the wall? Changsheng put his hands on his waist and couldn't help but inhale again and again!

"Hmm...... It's impossible, I don't feel the breath of the same kind at all, and with such a fairy-like person as Master, which ghost who doesn't open his eyes dares to make waves. ”

But before I could finish my sentence, I swept my gaze ahead again, and the extended path suddenly disappeared, and what appeared in front of us was a tomb, the grave was bright with bluestone and no grass, obviously a new grave.

This new tomb is just a rectangular mound of earth, unguarded, unmanaged, only shaded by a large tree, but such a simple and unpretentious tomb shocks us, and makes us seem to feel the grasping power of this ordinary tomb.

This strange scene made us nervous, but fortunately, after experiencing the tempering of Jiu Niang and the ghost baby, Changsheng's courage was also increased, so he took a steady step and slowly approached this new tomb.

When approaching the new tomb and coming to its front, there is an unnamed tombstone standing in the new tomb, although the tablet is nameless, but it is timely, on the third day of the third month of the year of Xin Chou.

I didn't know much about these heavenly and terrestrial branches, so I cautiously asked Changsheng: "When is the third day of the third month of the third month of the year of Xin Chou?" ”

Changsheng was already stunned, and he shouted, "Just ...... It's today! ”

"Today?!" I instantly had a bad premonition, this little Taoist priest can go to such a when he comes out to pee, I really bow down to his bad luck, and I really admire it.

Next to the tombstone, a dilapidated coffin was half peeking out of the grave, and I don't know if it was dug out by the tomb thieves or if it was not completely buried at all. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the half-coffin.

"Squeak Squeak ......"

"Rustling ......"

"Boom......"

Then a group of rats crawled out of the coffin, clutching minced meat and bones.

It turned out that the strange sound was a mouse gnawing on the bones, and Changsheng's whole person was a little weak, what the hell is this? So I turned back, ran less than a few dozen meters, and still saw this tomb; Then I ran for a minimum of 500 meters, and I still saw this grave!

You move it, you move it, it's a weird grave.

A few fat rats were still happily gnawing on the bloody bones, and in the bright moonlight, you could even see the hemp fluff on the mouse's body.

Wait a minute!

I suddenly noticed that the rats that were eating the bones of the corpses, although they were very fat, seemed to be missing something on their bodies!

Changsheng hurriedly took a few steps closer, and these fat rats who were busy gnawing on corpses and bones didn't seem to be afraid of him, and were still busy with their supper!

The rats are fluffy and fat, but on their buttocks, they are bare and have no tails! What's even more sinister is that none of these rats have hind legs, and the only front legs are as thick as thumbs.

The rat, which has no tail and hind legs, is round and bulging, and its fat head is put together, like a miniature version of Maitreya Buddha.

My curiosity piqued, and I asked Changsheng to get closer, to see what this mutated rat was, and why it looked so terrifying?

At this time, the fat rats gnawed almost the bones that came out of the coffin, and then slowly stood in a row.

I'm also strange, I'm such a weak girl, I'm afraid of cockroaches Xiaoqiang, but I've never been afraid of mice, I've seen mice fight, I've seen mice chased and bitten by cats, but I've never seen this tonight, and it will automatically line up in a row; And look at the formation, it's still very neat!

What are they trying to do? Changsheng and I didn't dare to come out, staring at it without blinking, wanting to see what this group of rat spirits was going to do!

"One, two, three...... Seven! There are seven fat rats in total! "I secretly counted in my heart, no more, no less, seven exactly.

The seven fat rats suddenly swayed a little, and they stretched out their two thick feet in front of them at the same time, and then they were in the same posture as the Japanese devils surrendered in the Anti-Japanese War dramas often shown on TV.

The seven fat rats first lifted their front two feet, and then put their butts directly on the ground before kneeling down against the coffin.

As the seven rats knelt down, suddenly a mournful sound entangled in the wind, filling the entire night sky, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell.

I stared at the seven fat rats with my eyes, and my heart was shocked; These seven fat rats are actually a little human-like, and their posture is like that filial piety, kowtowing and kneeling!

"Actually kowtowing?!" There are also some incredible ways to live forever.

"This is the Seven Rats Worship Coffin?" I was also very puzzled, and muttered to myself that the seven fat rats had already bowed to the coffin three times at this time, as if thanking the owner of the coffin for giving them food.

These seven fat rats gnawed on the bones of the owner of the coffin, but not only did they not run away immediately after eating, but they also lined up in a row to kowtow, which is too weird and interesting, right?
