Volume 1: I Am a Heavenly Master Chapter 286 People are hard to fear
Zhuang Yan listened to me talk about my experience and returned to the Taoist temple with me.
The fat man had recovered from the pain, and was holding the thin man to get up and walk away, and when he saw that I was coming back, he did not speak, and knew that he was running, and called his companion attentively.
Zhuang Yan and I looked around to observe the Taoist temple like no one else, the building was relatively simple, and there was nothing outstanding. The ground here is actually quite spacious, but this temple is too small, probably because the savings of the two people are not much, so only such a small temple can be built.
"What do you want if you don't leave? What if the people are struck and the souls are slain by you? ”
The fat man had a hot temper and questioned us while holding his companion.
"I don't want to do anything, I've notified the management office to arrange someone to deal with it, and neither of you can get out of it. This Taoist temple starts today, and I'm afraid it's going to be closed. With my hands behind my back, I walked out of the main hall and walked to the side.
"Wait, I remembered. Have you ever been to the back of the pine forest? Saved a young man......"
The thin man, holding the fat man's shoulder, stretched out his hand and pointed at me.
I turned to look at him, nodded, and said, "I think I've been there once, I remember, and in the end I became the main force." I remember that my guide and I were the one who found it first, and the other group of colleagues were stupidly and aimlessly searching, and I don't know what they thought. How...... Are you going with you? No wonder I feel like I've seen you somewhere. ”
"Naturally, we went there together, but you stole the limelight at that time, and naturally there was no reflection on me."
Only then did I notice that the two of them appeared to be over thirty years old, so why they were only second-level Heavenly Masters, I felt a little puzzled. So he asked, "Look at the two of you, you are not young, why are you still just a second-level heavenly master, your master?" ”
"Our master is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't want us to mention it. We have been in the business for less than five years, so naturally we don't have much to do. The master said that the talented Heavenly Master is much higher than us in Taoism at a young age, and today I have seen it. ”
The thin man really could speak, and I was a little embarrassed to say it.
"Your two masters are good at everything, but they love to tell the truth too much. To tell the truth, if you concentrate on cultivation for five years, not to mention the fourth level, the third level is indispensable. I mean, what the hell are you two thinking all day long? ”
I still despise the cultivation effect of the two of them.
"Alas! Don't mention it, it's all my fault. I secretly saw the master's cultivation cheats, and after stealing them outside to copy them, I quietly hid the cheats back. I wanted to practice quietly when I followed my master, but I didn't want to be discovered by my junior brother. I was also confused, so I made an appointment with my junior brother and quietly came out to set up my own door.
"After two years away from the master, the two of us have achieved a small success in cultivating hard. A pair of souls that have just been raised for more than a year and have been practicing Taoism for nearly a hundred years have been broken by the two of you today. That's it, and my junior brother and I can only spend the rest of our lives in prison. Perhaps, this is really what the master said, I have a catastrophe that I can't escape. ”
"You don't have to worry about robbing your head, you want to take shortcuts all day long. Look at my apprentice, who has been with me for less than a year, and now he is chasing the soul of hundreds of years. Although it is the same as you, it is also a second-level, but its ability to deal with souls is much stronger than yours. I think it's strange, you've been hovering in the second level for five years, what have you done in the past five years? I couldn't help but interrupt the skinny man and complained about them.
"I don't always feel that the master has reservations about us, and there are many things that I feel like he has left a hand on. Senior brother, I hurt you, you won't blame me! ”
The fat man didn't speak, he just held his brother and looked at us fiercely.
"Don't talk about it, anyway, if you say the name of the master, it's also a matter of blocking him. The personnel of the management office will come in a while, don't say I didn't remind you, the management office needs a celestial master now, and if you sincerely realize your mistakes and behave well, you may be able to change from captivity to helpers inside. Remember, you can't say this explicitly, and if you behave well, someone will naturally hint at you. When the time comes, you can see what you want! Also, whether it's cultivation or whatever, doing things in a down-to-earth manner is the stepping stone to success. always thinks about a crash course in crooked ways, but in the end it is yourself who harms yourself. ”
After a few passes, the fat and thin two bowed their heads and remained silent, probably listening to my advice.
Since ancient times, they have listened to people's persuasion and eaten well, what will happen in the future, they will probably have a play.
After a while, a minibus came to the door, and Hu Xuan led a few people into the Taoist temple. Seeing that I was wandering around the Taoist temple, and seeing the two of them standing with each other in their arms, I knew that it was my masterpiece, and came to ask.
"Xiao Yang, what's the situation?" As he spoke, he motioned to a few people behind him, controlled the fat and thin two, and escorted them back to the car first.
"Wandering around here, I found that the Taoist temple was a little strange. When I came in, I found two Taoist priests raising ghosts. I killed one of them, and the other ran behind and didn't catch up. ”
"Anything else?"
"That's probably the case, we came out on foot and wanted to take your car back to Xinxing." I don't think there's any need to go to the cave at the top of the mountain, even if I want to go, in the future, Zhuang Yan will drive the car and park it here, and it will only be a matter of half a day.
"Let's go, let's talk as we go."
Hu Xuan led us out of the Taoist temple and let us get in the car first. He and two Taoist priests asked for the key, took the seal from the car, locked the Taoist temple, and pasted the seal, and then got in the car and left.
"Tomorrow I will notify the management office to organize people to come and investigate. I will go back today and try them first. Anyway, for no reason, how did you two think of coming here for hiking? By the way, the Heavenly Masters in Xinxing City have a lot of opinions about our management office recently, do you know? ”
"Well, it's not been open for a month, come out and try to hang out and see what you can get. The Celestial Master has an opinion on the management office! What's the opinion? "I have now compiled a Journey to the West, and I hope Hu Xuan will not delve into it.
"Like you, it hasn't been opened for more than half a month, and you can't open the pot at home. One by one, I don't have much ability, and I have to work in the management office. Alas, the leaders have gone out to hide quietly, leaving us with a bunch of middle-level people, who can't go anywhere. Fortunately, the library is on duty in turns, and one person has been scolded for a few days in the past, and it is nothing. ”
Hu Xuan fastened his seat belt and half-turned to us.
So that's the case, then I just said that it hadn't opened for a month, and I said it crookedly.
On the way, Hu Xuan revealed the real reason for Yang Ji's business trip.
Recently, in Xinxing City, there have been no soul-haunting incidents, just like the lonely ghosts that usually wander and disappear out of thin air. After nightfall, he also wandered around the streets, places where souls usually gather, for a few days, and indeed did not see a single ghost. He also wondered, which chivalrous or powerful Taoist friend passed by Xinxing and did a big vote?
"To be honest, it was you who I initially suspected. With this ability, in the list of registered Heavenly Masters in Xinxing, only you may have this heart and this ability. ”
As soon as Hu Xuan said this, my heart sank, among the Heavenly Masters I know, there is still one person who can have this ability, and that is Zhang Daochang, who has just joined the management office. But I already know that Zhang Daochang has joined the management office, and I don't know if Chen Mu has told them the news.
"No wonder you planted it in your hands today, it turns out that you are so good?"
The fat man who was controlled in the back row muttered, and he could hear that he really admired me. Maybe he's like me, he likes to see people and throws his hat.
"That Daoist Zhang brought up by Anhe Town, didn't let him come out!" I asked Hu Xuan a little vaguely, and I didn't ask Zhang Daochang if he escaped.
"Ugh! No, I've been staying in the management office. ”
Judging from Hu Xuan's expression, they should not know about the Taoist priest's surrender that I already knew. However, he did not say that the Taoist priest had surrendered.
I leaned back in my chair and feigned thought.
To be honest, Zhuang Yan and I have rarely gone out at night, and we haven't noticed that there are any harmless spirits on the street. Tonight, I can call the Ancestor out and see what I can find.
The old road is sharp and narrow, and the car is not driving fast, so that I am a little dizzy.
"In the past few days, the management office has been coming to the management office for an average of two Heavenly Masters every day, and the report has been frighteningly calm recently, and we are asked to increase our investigation. What do you think about the current shortage of Xinxing's soul? ”
Hu Xuan didn't intend to let me be quiet, and continued to ask.
"I don't know, if you don't say it, I really think it's a peaceful world, and there are no unjust ghosts. However, if you really can't even see ordinary souls, I think something big is going to happen. I'll keep an eye out for it, and if the management office checks on something that is short of manpower, just say it. ”
Indeed, I think this situation is a bit strange. First of all, even if the era is peaceful and prosperous, there are no new unjust souls, but there are those who wander around, those who have been hiding somewhere for a long time, and those who died unexpectedly and did not catch up with the first seven...... There will always be one or two! It can't have disappeared so cleanly.
"Then you bother to take care of it, and help around at night if you have nothing to do, and see if you find anything. By the way, Yang Ji will probably come back the day after tomorrow, maybe when he comes back, he will have something to do with you. ”
I nodded, indicating that I understood. Just as he wanted to continue to squint his eyes and rest, the car entered the ring road of Xinxing and entered the city.
After I recognized the road section, I said that I wanted to get off the car with Zhuang Yan first, and told Hu Yan that there was a soul running in the Taoist temple for about two or three hundred years, and I would make some preparations when I arranged for someone to go tomorrow.
Hu thanked us and asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road.
Zhuang Yan and I got off the bus and found a place to have lunch first, and the camping activities came to an end. Originally, I planned to do something romantic with Zhuang Yan in the wild, but last night I was afraid that there would be a big battle today, so I didn't do anything, but I didn't expect it to be over today.
When I was hungry, everything I ate was fragrant, and I ate a big bowl of lo mein with a chicken leg, and I was full of energy. In order to prevent the conditioned reflex of being full of food, Zhuang Yan and I each drank another bottle of soda, the kind of soda that can turn lips into the color of a drink after drinking.
Zhuang Yan looked at the yellow circle on my lips, and couldn't help but open her mouth that also had a yellow circle and smiled.
The beauty laughed, which naturally attracted onlookers.
The boss and the workers couldn't help but come over and look at us.
"Boss, you're adulterated with this drink! Got my mouth yellow. "I can't help but want to reason with the boss, he is too annoyed by this copycat.
"Where is adulteration, it's because you drink in the wrong way, there is a straw over there, you don't use it, you have to blow mouth-to-mouth."
The boss counted us down with words, but returned the money for the soda.
This wave of operations made me dumbfounded. Not only did he return the proceeds from the sale of counterfeit goods, but he never lost his words. Others look like we're scheming villains, clamoring to ask the boss for five dollars......
I was about to get up and have a good time with the boss, Zhuang Yan looked at me with a smile and shook her head gently.
When I got out of the restaurant, I couldn't help but ask, "You don't want me to reason with them, are you afraid that I won't be able to beat them?" ”
"No, it's not easy for everyone to mix, and it's better to let the person in charge of this matter take care of it. You didn't see what the boss did just now, they are so talkative, and wherever they go to reason will be regarded as ours. Let me figure it out. As she spoke, Zhuang Yan took out a pair of glasses from her small bag and put them on.
