Chapter 20: The Mysterious Old Man
After listening to the old man's words, my body shook suddenly, and I said in my heart: "This old man seems to be very unusual, there is no family in this wilderness, why did he suddenly appear here?" In order to be able to learn about his mysterious identity, I was curious: "Uncle, are you a mountain dweller who lives here?" ”
The old man ignored my words, and muttered to himself, "A disaster is about to come, and it seems that I have to find the Yin and Yang Mirror as soon as possible." ”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, I felt more and more that this old man was unusual, and I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked him in a lost voice: "Uncle, what do you mean by a disaster?" ”
The old man held the tractor with both hands, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes, he sighed and said, "Have you ever been to the top of the mountain when you got lost and walked into this mountain?" ”
Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately nodded and said, "I've been to the top of the mountain!" ”
The old man said: "You must have seen those dirty things on the top of the mountain!" It's really strange that that ghost didn't want your life, I really can't figure it out. ”
I was taken aback and hurriedly said, "You...... How would you know? ”
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not know, hehe, I am the grave keeper of this barren mountain." I've been here for more than 40 years. Young man, let me tell you honestly, there are more than 100 ghosts in the tomb on this mountain, among which a female ghost is the most powerful, she combines the resentment of heaven and earth, and is out of the jurisdiction of the underworld, as long as she absorbs the essence blood of 7749 human beings within ten days, she can quickly return to the yang world again. ”
I was so drunk that I didn't dare to breathe. Quietly listening to his instructions.
The old man said: "As long as the powerful ghost in the grave corridor returns to the sun, she can summon the other skeleton ghosts on the barren mountain to serve her with the spell in the land, and then she can call on all the ghosts to bring disaster to the world." ”
Before the old man could finish speaking, I interjected, "Then what can be done to stop her?" Looking for a Taoist master who has cultivated to a high level in the Taoist temple, can you catch her? ”
The old man suddenly stopped the tractor in a field full of rape flowers, and he walked down from the tractor, and I naturally got out of the car and followed him.
He sat next to the rape flower, took out a dry cigarette and smoked it, he took a few puffs violently, turned his head to look at me, and said solemnly: "Those swaggering Taoist priests are not credible, how many of the current Taoist priests still remember the ghost catching Taoist technique handed down by the ancestor back then?" I'm afraid they've all forgotten about the spell alone, and they don't know what a real ghost catcher is. If they meet an ordinary ghost, they may be able to escape with the magic weapon passed down by their ancestors, but if they meet the female ghost on the mountain, they will definitely not be killed. ”
My mind was buzzing, my body couldn't help shaking violently, and I suddenly felt that this unattractive old man in front of me might be a master of the world, and it might be effective to ask him for help, and besides, he had lived on this tomb mountain for more than forty years, and he must have been familiar with the surrounding geographical environment. I hurriedly looked at him, and my voice trembled: "That...... Is there anything you can do to deal with that awesome ghost on the mountain? ”
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "You can hear that I know these ghosts on the mountain very well, and think that I am a master of the world, and I will definitely be able to destroy this powerful ghost, right?" ”
I said, "Yes, your old man must be an expert, otherwise how would he dare to live alone under this gloomy tomb mountain." ”
The old man said: "You can see this, the old man, I actually don't know anything about catching ghosts, just a feng shui family, but my junior brother Zhong Daring is a ghost catching master, he is a descendant of the heavenly master Zhong Kui." Invite him to kill this terrible ghost. ”
I couldn't help but ask, "What's that...... So where is your junior brother? How about we go and invite him together? ”
The old man didn't answer my question, just shook his head vigorously. After more than half a minute, he said slowly: "My junior brother is ...... He had a conflict with me, 20 years ago I played with him on a barren mountain, I took a fancy to the feng shui treasure there, the geological environment there is very conducive to planting fruit trees, because I plan to plant a lot of fruit trees there, but who knows that he said that although the feng shui is good, but he feels that there is a faint ghost in the ground. ”
At that time, I would give up that piece of feng shui treasure land with his words, and I scolded him indignantly: "You are jealous of me, afraid that I will one day enjoy wealth and wealth." If you don't listen to me, you'll be a poor bastard for the rest of your life. ”
Not to be outdone, my junior brother pointed at my nose and scolded: "You are a person who sees money and has an eye for money, and sooner or later it will not end well." ”
"I was so angry that I pushed him to the ground and slammed him on a cloud of yellow mud on the ground. In a fit of rage, he swore that he would never recognize me as a senior brother again, and that he would never have anything to do with me again. ”
When I had listened to the old man's words, I looked at him, and saw a look of pain on his face, which he must have regretted by now.
In order not to make him continue to be sad, I changed the topic and said, "Uncle, in this way, please let Senior Brother Zhong dare to help eliminate the female ghost This matter will be handled by me, what do you think?" ”
The old man looked excited, held my right hand and smiled: "You...... Would you really like to help me find him? Too...... That's great. ”
I nodded and said, "Where is Senior Brother Zhong Daring now?" What are his physical characteristics? ”
The old man spread his hands and said helplessly: "Alas! I haven't seen him again since we parted for twenty years, and it's harder to find him than to climb to the top, and I don't have much hope for that. If you can run into him by accident, you might as well. Hehe, if you want to say how to recognize him in the vast sea of people, it is actually not difficult at all, he only wears a black robe in his life, wears a purple and gold helmet, steps on straw shoes, and wears a vermilion peachwood sword in his hand. He often babbled gibberish and spoke some specious ancient texts. ”
I pursed my lips and said in my heart: "The world is so big, how can I be so lucky to meet such a character?" ”
The old man seemed to see my worries, and he said, "My master and his old man once said that in addition to the Heavenly Master who has cultivated to the advanced Dao, he can also use the Yin and Yang Mirror of the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui to destroy them. It is said that the Yin-Yang Mirror is hidden in the Tianshan Mountains, and I am about to go to find it. ”
I was overjoyed and said: "Uncle, then we will divide into two ways, I will go to find Senior Brother Ling, you go to find the Yin-Yang Mirror, and we will meet at the foot of this mountain in ten days." ”
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Young man, don't open your mouth and close your mouth to call me uncle, my name is Zhou Zhou Xian, and I am a master of feng shui physiognomy, just call me Uncle Xian." ”
I laughed and said, "Okay...... Okay, Uncle Xian, let's hurry up, I'm afraid that in ten days, the powerful ghost on this mountain will become even more powerful, and it will be even more difficult to destroy her at that time. In this case, you send me to the town first, and I will go back and use all my strength to find Zhong Daring as soon as possible, and then bring him here. ”
Zhou Zhou Xian patted his chest and said, "No problem, let's leave now." ”
So Zhou Xian and I immediately got on the tractor again and drove quickly towards the town. The mountain road was bumpy, and Zhou Yixian and I had a bumpy road, and I felt that my internal organs were about to come upside down.
Zhou Xianwu opened vigorously, humming a few lyrics from time to time, and his expression looked much more relaxed than before, I guess he must have thought that I could help him find Zhong Daring, and he would soon be able to see his junior brother again.
Looking at his anticipatory excitement, I suddenly felt that I was under a lot of pressure, and I kept telling myself that whether it was for the sake of the common people in the world or for the sake of Zhou Xian, I had to find this Taoist priest named Zhong Daring as soon as possible.
