At that moment, a flickering green dot of light flew in from outside the entrance! Lao Tan's eyes were quick, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the green light in his hand. When he spread his hand, I realized that it was also a small ghost fire. Obviously, there are peers coming in from outside, and the ghost fire that flies in at this point is the first to say hello to the people in the cave.

"It's the old Han couple!" Lao Tan said softly. Boss Su and Lao Liu both nodded, it seems that they are old acquaintances.

I was curious. Couple? Doesn't that mean that one of them is a woman? I haven't seen a female yin cultivator yet! Besides, the Yin cultivators I know are basically lonely old men, and none of them have wives. As a result, this time I was able to see a married pair of Yin Xiu.

"Are there any women in the Yin Cultivator?" I asked Boss Su.

"Yes!" Boss Su said with a smile, "Men are yang, women are yin, in fact, women should be more suitable for cultivating yin skills." It's just that few women are willing to practice! ”

"Why?"

"Haha!" Boss Su said to me half-jokingly and half-seriously: "This is a reason that nuns and Taoist aunts are much less than monks and Taoist priests!" No matter what kind of way you are seeking, you need to endure loneliness and loneliness. What's more, if we are cultivating yin, we have to bear the cold eyes and prejudice of outsiders. Do you think there is any woman who is willing to practice Yin Gong? ”

"That's right," Lao Liu echoed with a wry smile on the side, "Lao Han is smoking on the ancestral grave, so he can find such a wife who walks with him!" ”

"It's not that Lao Han found his wife who walked with him, but that his wife took him in!" Lao Tan suddenly came out with a sentence, and it was rare to participate in this kind of "gossip" incident.

Boss Su and Lao Liu didn't seem to know that Lao Han and his wife still had this relationship, and they also had surprised expressions.

"Aren't Lao Han and his wife both your junior brothers and sisters?" Lao Liu asked in surprise.

Lao Tan shook his head and said indifferently: "No." Lao Han's Yin Gong was taught privately by his wife Xiaocui, and he didn't officially worship Master Zu, so he wasn't counted as an introductory disciple of my faction. ”

When Lao Liu heard this, he just wanted to ask something again, but he was pulled by Boss Su's sleeves, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Little Cui"? That's a very affectionate title! I laughed secretly on the side, thinking that this Lao Tan must have had something to do with the old Han couple, maybe it was an emotional dispute or something, so I cared so much about the other party's reputation. Alas, I didn't expect that this Yin cultivation circle is not big, and the relationship is quite complicated!

I was secretly arranging it, and three people walked in at the entrance at once. The first two are both old men and old ladies around sixty years old, and they seem to be the old Han and "Xiaocui". They were followed by a young man in his twenties, who walked closer, but I couldn't help but look twice.

The young man was not very old, but he was leaning over and bowing his head, looking very old-fashioned, and he had been following closely behind the old Han couple, as if he was a little afraid of life. But this is not the reason why he caught my attention, the most impressive thing about him is that he has a shallow scar on his right eye, and I don't know if it is a certain injury or disease, which causes him to squint his right eye all the time, and only use his left eye to see the road. His appearance makes people feel very awkward when they look at it.

"Yo! It's been a long time since I've had a newcomer, but this year I'll have two of them! Lao Liu made a fuss.

"His name is Xiaolong, and he is the apprentice we just accepted." The "little cui" introduced the one-eyed young man to everyone. She then sighed again and said, "Alas, it's not easy to find apprentices in our business!" If we don't cultivate new people, we will have no successors in Yuexi Town! ”

Dragons? I almost burst out laughing. This name is really apt, so isn't his nickname "One-Eyed Dragon" logical?

Lao Liu over there also sighed: "Yes! Now Baihualing is left with my own Yin Cultivation, it seems that I will have to look for it after I go back, otherwise there will be no one to take over! ”

Since we talked about Xiaolong, Lao Han naturally asked me as well. When he saw me standing beside Boss Su, he asked Boss Su, "Is this young man also the apprentice you just accepted?" ”

To my surprise, Boss Su actually nodded and admitted it!

He told the other party my name, and then said to me: "These two are Uncle Han and Aunt Han, don't hurry up and call someone!" ”

I respectfully called "Uncle Han" and "Aunt Han", but I still didn't know why Boss Su would call me his apprentice? Lao Tan and Lao Liu, who were standing on the side, didn't seem to have any objections, and they didn't break it. Boss Su then took the opportunity to give me a look, which meant that I should cooperate with him and not debunk it. I opened my mouth, but finally decided not to rush to clarify it and see the situation later.

Subsequently, two fellow Yin cultivators came in from outside the cave. One is a middle-aged man in his forties, from Tricha Town. The last old man looked to be the oldest, in his eighties, and he came from Xiling Township. At this time, all the yin cultivation in Nanting County should be complete.

When there are more people, the scene becomes more lively. Everyone is a peer cultivator, and it is rare to get together, so they inevitably greet each other and reminisce about the past, and by the way, inquire about the business status of ghost markets in various places, but the results are mixed. The good ones are like Lao Liu's Baihualing, and the bad ones are like Xiling Township. The old man said that he stopped the ghost market not long after Halloween last year, first, because there were few ghosts and few people, and business was not very easy to do; The second is that my body is not very good, and it is estimated that I will not be able to survive for a few years.

As soon as these words came out, they couldn't help but arouse a burst of embarrassment and worry. Aunt Han was the most worried, and even said that if this continued, the inheritance of Yin cultivation would be broken, and it would be the world of Taoist cultivation in the future!

But after discussing for a long time, they couldn't discuss a few constructive solutions. Originally, Yin cultivation recruited disciples with very strict requirements for talent and physique, coupled with the decline of this industry and being discriminated against, even if they found good seedlings, people may not be willing to learn!

I know this very well. The conditions of our family are not good, and I am born with yin and yang eyes, so I have to worship such a master. The "one-eyed dragon" on the other side is estimated to be in a similar situation, with a disability it is inevitable to be looked down upon by others, and if you enter the Yin cultivation line, you can at least find food and clothing, and if you do a good job, you will be respected. Thinking about it like this, my perception of Xiaolong suddenly felt much more intimate.

In addition to the difficulty of accepting apprentices and the fear that there will be no successor, there is another unusual sign that has generally aroused everyone's concern. Since last year, there seems to have been more and more wandering spirits and wild ghosts wandering in the yang world in various places, and they have all caused a lot of trouble. The most typical is Baihualing, which was the most violent on Halloween last year. There are also some signs in the county, especially the haunted incident in Kang'anfang. Lao Tan also made a rare remark, saying that it could be that the ghost cultivator had some intention in Nanting County, so he did these things?

The people present suddenly fell silent, and their faces were sad. The word ghost cultivation is rarely mentioned to me by Master. The ghosts in the ghost market are also secretive about it, and they don't dare to mention it. It seems that it is only at this kind of monastic gathering that people take the initiative to mention it.

"I've thought so before, but I haven't found any evidence." Lao Liu frowned and said, "Baihualing is so remote, even if the ghost cultivator wants to make trouble, what is the purpose?" ”

The middle-aged man from Sancha Town shook his head and said to Lao Liu, "You can't say that. Ghost cultivators are different from Taoist cultivators, they want to fight for the territory of the underworld, not the territory of the yang world, and the remote place may be exactly what they want. In that way, we can avoid the harassment of Taoist cultivators, and we will not have too much conflict. ”

"We're the ones who suffer!" Aunt Han exclaimed, "We are now less people, and we have less territory. The ghost cultivator still wants to come and grab our territory, and now our yin cultivator can't get mixed up! ”

Aunt Han's shout ignited everyone's emotions again. A new round of worry is growing and fermenting dramatically, and the whole cavern is constantly echoing and buzzing.

"Shh Lao Tan suddenly raised his hand to stop the noise. He pointed to the watch on his wrist and said to everyone, "It's time soon, let's report this problem to Yin Cha later!" ”

Negative?

I was taken aback! Master said before that the underworld is real, and the king of Yama also exists. Since there is a king of Yama, it is only natural that there is a difference. However, I wasn't mentally prepared to meet the legendary characters from the Netherworld so soon! No wonder when I came, everyone wouldn't tell me the purpose of the trip, I see!

So, everyone closed their mouths and waited. Their eyes were fixed on the bottomless pit, and it seemed that the yin was about to come out of the hole.

After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, suddenly a gust of wind blew up from the cave, blowing out the copper coins with square holes on the rope binding the ghosts. After the gloomy wind, a figure suddenly appeared in front of us!

That person was dressed completely differently from us, and he was still wearing the clothes of ancient times, but instead of a wide robe and big sleeves, he was dressed in a strong suit, similar to the clothes worn by martial arts masters in martial arts films. The whole body, including the hat, belt, and shoes, was white, and it looked even more strange in this gloomy cavern.

I couldn't help but wonder to myself: Could this be the legendary Bai Impermanence? However, although the hat he wears on his head is high, it is not as tall as the legend, similar to the Western-style chef's hat.

"Waiting for the envoy of the lock master!" All the Yin cultivators present clasped their hands into fists and shouted in unison. I didn't know what that meant, but I quickly saluted with my fists.

The yin cha waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to call this title indiscriminately, I'm just listening to errands!" "His expression is serious, his face is slightly darker than that of us living people, and his face is not terrible, even more normal than most of the ghosts in the ghost market.

Yin Cha looked around, his eyes lingered on me and Xiaolong for a while, and asked, "Are these two young people your new apprentices?" ”

Aunt Han hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes!" ”

Yin Cha nodded slightly, and said: "My generation is withering day by day, and the underworld is short of manpower. You should take in more apprentices and cultivate more descendants, so that you can maintain the path of yin cultivation! ”

When Lao Tan and the others heard this, they replied as seriously as primary school students: "What Lord Yin Cha said is exact, my generation should work hard!" ”

"My generation?" The word has appeared twice. Could it be that this Yin Cha is also a Yin cultivator like us? I added a lot of questions to my heart, but it was not convenient to ask at this time, so I could only follow the other seniors and make promises.
