"Childe, are you awake?"

Although the voice sounded a little old, it was more full of joy.

"yes, wake up!" Shan Zhuokun replied in a daze.

As soon as he finished speaking, his body trembled violently, and an inexplicable expression appeared on his face.

Son......? I......?

Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun opened his eyes suddenly, and a carp jumped up from the kang.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Where is this tomb? It's clearly a thatched house made of thick bamboo and cattail. In addition to a broken wooden table, two old wooden chairs, and a wooden cabinet that had been used for many years and had long been unable to see the color, there were two old couples who were wearing clothes of unknown dynasties, holding black mud bowls, and looking at them with shocked faces.

No, he obviously entered the ancient tomb this morning, but then he fainted because of a knock on his head, why is he here now? Could it be...... Evil?!

Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun's face immediately showed an expression of extreme shock. Before he had time to think about it, he put his hand in the pocket of his jeans, took out a yellow paper note with the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and threw it straight at the old couple. At the same time, he also shouted loudly the words 'Ling Bing Fighting Array'.

But amazingly, the old couple is still standing in place. Aside from the stunned expression, the yellow paper talisman didn't do anything at all.

How is this possible ......? This yellow paper talisman has always been an artifact for slaying demons and demons, and it has never been invalid.

Are they not ghosts, but ...... Person?!

Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun rushed to the old man's face with an arrow, reached out and grabbed his arm, and hurriedly verified.

The old man was very panicked by Shan Zhuokun's sudden movements. Seeing him so anxious at this moment, he slowly said the whole thing.

It turned out that the old couple were medicine pickers who had lived in the mountains for a long time, and when they went to Dongshan to collect medicine seven days ago, they found Shan Zhuokun in a coma halfway up the mountain. Since it was often infested with wild beasts, it was extremely unsafe, so they took him back to his dwelling. And these days, Shan Zhuokun has always been unconscious, and all the eating, drinking, and treatment are taken care of by the old man. At the same time, under Shan Zhuokun's questioning, the old man also told him that it was in the early years of Zhenguan at this time, Li Yuan had just abdicated, and the new emperor Li Shimin was in charge of the world.

More than a thousand years ago? ...... Datang?!

When Shan Zhuokun heard the old man say this, the expression on his face immediately turned to surprise.

It's no wonder that Master repeatedly emphasized on the phone yesterday that he would give him a super unexpected birthday present, and now it seems that this is the case, but it is really not possible to stay here for a long time, and it is better to take the best policy.

Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun grabbed the travel bag on the kang, turned around and hurriedly went out. No matter how the old couple stayed, they walked out without looking back.

At the gate of the courtyard, at the moment when Shan Zhuokun's feet were about to step out, his body shook suddenly, and the voice of Master Yuan Lintao came clearly in his ears.

"Apprentice, you can't come back yet. Unless you can return to the ancient tomb before midnight tomorrow, you can enjoy this super gift package that Master has given you with peace of mind! But don't worry, it must be a surprise! ”

"Master, don't make a fuss, my little heart is going to jump out of my throat in fright. You're good at it, so take me back quickly. Shan Zhuokun pleaded bitterly.

He has followed his master on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he already knows his temperament well. Don't look at the fact that the master is always giggling and laughing on weekdays, but as long as he makes up his mind, then even if the Yellow River flows backwards, it will not change.

Sure enough, the other party had already made up his mind, and let Shan Zhuokun shout through his throat and not answer.

"Childe, are you alright......?" Suddenly, the old man said behind him.

Although the voice was not loud, because he was defenseless, Shan Zhuokun was still taken aback. He turned abruptly and looked at the old man with wide eyes. The old man was startled by his action, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"Uncle, I'm fine, I was just joking with you and my aunt. Don't worry, you're so nice to me, how can I leave without saying hello? But ......."

After a while, after Shan Zhuokun's emotions calmed down, he continued. However, when he said this, he abruptly stopped talking, and then showed an embarrassed expression.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?"

"Uncle, I won't tell you anything, I'm not from you. We don't have banknotes in vogue, and we use WeChat and Alipay to buy things. But you don't even have a QR code here, how can I brush it? ”

The more Shan Zhuokun spoke, the quieter his voice became, and in the end it seemed that a mosquito was humming.

Although the old man didn't hear his words clearly, when he saw his embarrassed face at this moment, he guessed a few points, so he smiled and comforted:

"Childe, it's nothing to worry about, who hasn't had a time to be embarrassed. Don't worry, you don't have to give money. ”

Shan Zhuokun didn't expect the old man to speak so well, and suddenly a warm current arose in his heart. In a fit of intense joy, he quickly came to the old man's front and stretched out his arms to hug each other tightly.

"Childe...... Are you ......? The old man was hugged by Shan Zhuokun like this, and suddenly showed a surprised expression.

Shan Zhuokun heard the other party ask him like this, and immediately reflected it. Yes, this was more than 1,000 years ago, and such an enthusiastic act was really unbearable!

"Uncle, I'm playing around with you. By the way, uncle, although you and my aunt are so good to me, I can't eat and drink for nothing, I have to do something for you? Otherwise, I'm idle, so I'd just catch a ghost and have fun. Shan Zhuokun suggested with a smile.

When the old man heard Shan Zhuokun say this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and covered his mouth vigorously. He squeezed his eyebrows and stared at his eyes, and he wished that his eyes would fly out of his sockets.

"Childe, you can't talk nonsense, you have to be in awe of ghosts and gods, and you must not speak wildly!"

Shan Zhuokun looked at the old man and felt funny in his heart. Originally, I heard the master say that people in the Tang and Song dynasties believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and they always thought that they were exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Suddenly, when the old man let go of his hand, Shan Zhuokun coughed violently a few times, and after taking a breath for a while, he patiently explained:

"Uncle, I'm not young, I'm just talking nonsense. However, I won't hide it from you, I'm a warlock. I can't say how big it is, at least I haven't missed it until today. If you need it here, I'll do you a favor. ”

The old man looked Shan Zhuokun up and down suspiciously, he looked like he was in his early twenties in this later life, how could he have such a great ability? Forget it, no matter what, let's give him a try.

Thinking of this, the old man hesitated and said: "Yes, yes, there is a strange thing in the Sun family not far from here recently. His grandson cries every night, but Lang Zhong can't cure him. If you really have that ability, can you help them see it? ”

Shan Zhuokun patted his chest with his hand and said proudly: "No problem, wrap it on me." Uncle, take me now. ”

At Sun's house, as soon as Shan Zhuokun entered the house, he saw a two- or three-year-old child lying on the kang with a dying face. After the old man explained his intentions, the grandchildren who were originally surprised by Shan Zhuokun's strange outfit immediately thanked him and regarded him as a benefactor.

"It's not difficult, the child just lost his soul." After understanding what happened to the whole thing, Shan Zhuokun trickily checked the child's pulse and proposed, "Why don't you take me to the place where the child usually plays now." ”

Seeing that Shan Zhuokun was so confident, the Sun family did not dare to slack off, and soon took him to the nearby mountains and forests. After turning around, Shan Zhuokun knew more in his heart. It looks like the kid must have been captured by a mountain ghost.

At the edge of the forest, Shan Zhuokun first told the Sun family to go back and wait for news, and then turned around and returned to the forest. As he pinched and chanted the incantation, a short time later, a gray smoke suddenly rose in the dense forest. As the smoke gradually spread, a mountain ghost with a cloak and a blue body appeared in front of him with his hand holding the soul of the grandson of the Sun family.

"Old ghost, what are you doing with other people's children? Do you want to be your grandson? Shan Zhuokun looked at the mountain ghost and said with a hippie smile.

Although the foundation of this mountain ghost is not deep, it has also had a thousand years of Taoism. At first, he was extremely surprised by Shan Zhuokun's unusual outfit, but after looking at it carefully for a while, he quickly determined that the other party must be a person with profound cultivation. Seeing Shan Zhuokun making fun of himself, he replied disdainfully:

"Less nonsense, boy, if you want to live, you still have to go as far as you want. Be careful to annoy your mountain ghost grandpa and eat you in one bite. ”

Shan Zhuokun saw that the mountain ghost was so conceited, and he didn't think it was very funny. However, he still made a look of fear, and said tremblingly:

"Yes, then I have to ask the mountain ghost grandfather to raise his noble hand and spare my life!"

With that, he took out a piece of toffee from the pocket of his jeans and threw it at the mountain ghost. Seeing that something was flying straight towards him, the mountain ghost quickly let go of his hand and flashed to the side.

Shan Zhuokun took this opportunity to fly in front of the child, held it in his arms, and ran forward without looking back. When the mountain ghost saw that this stinky boy dared to deceive himself, he immediately became furious and chased after him.

The two of them started a speed competition back and forth, and along the way, in order to successfully avoid the mountain ghosts, Shan Zhuokun said ridiculous words while throwing several golden spirit runes one after another. The mountain ghost was intimidated by his momentum, and his momentum couldn't help but be much weaker than before.

Seeing that he was about to come to the edge of the forest, Shan Zhuokun suddenly stopped, turned to look at the mountain ghost, and showed a bright smile. The mountain ghost didn't know what it meant, so he stopped, his eyes full of suspicion.

"I didn't expect you old ghost to really have two hits, but I'm going to decide this kid today. In this way, in order to express my gratitude, brother will give you two more pieces of candy to eat. Tell you, this is a high-grade toffee, and I am reluctant to give it to ordinary people. ”

With that, Shan Zhuokun took out two pieces of toffee from his pocket and threw them on the ground in front of the mountain ghost. The mountain ghost saw that there was a forest in front of him, and as long as he took a step, he would be wiped out. In addition, the other party gave him something as a thank you, so he had to give up and no longer continue to catch up.

At the Sun family, Shan Zhuokun sweated profusely and slammed open the door, startling everyone in the house. Under the astonished gaze of the people, he walked quickly to the side of the kang. After using the true qi to inject the child's soul into the body, he silently recited the mantra in his heart to calm the soul.

A puff of white smoke rose and the child slowly opened his eyes, then sat up and cried out for hunger. Seeing that this method was really effective, the Sun family quickly knelt down and expressed their gratitude. Then he gave the silver two as an answer, Shan Zhuokun saw that the other party was so enthusiastic, if he shirked it again, he would only hurt his feelings, so he had to reluctantly accept the silver two and follow the old man back to rest.
