Chapter 21 Into the Village

The place where we had just rested was a house on the outskirts of the village.

But as soon as I stepped into the real village, I found that not only did I lose the heat of midsummer, but even the light was much darker.

How hot and dazzling is the midsummer afternoon sun? Once you enter the village, it is as if there is a thick layer of clouds blocking the sunlight. The whole village was cold and dim.

And the further I walked into the interior of the village, the more cold I felt.

This kind of cold is not the biting cold of winter, but more like the cold that grows from my heart, the kind that no matter how thick my clothes are, I can't resist it.

There were no words all the way, and I didn't know where Master was going to take us.

I watched as the empty room on both sides was covered with cobwebs, and even the benches lying outside the room were covered with a layer of dust.

Not only did I wonder, wasn't this place recently emptied? Looking at this scene, it looks like it has been vacant for several years?

I was about to open my mouth to ask Master, but Master just stopped.

As soon as he stopped, so did we.

Before I could open my mouth, Master said to me, "Zhengyi, do you feel anything uncomfortable?" ”

I quickly told Master what I had just felt, and who knew that Master reached out and flicked my head and shouted, "Did Lao Tzu ask you to say this?" Feel it with your heart! ”

I rubbed my sore head and muttered in a low voice, "Crazy old man! ”

After saying that, I saw that Master looked like he was about to get angry, and I quickly closed my eyes and wanted to feel this place carefully.

But I don't know why, I always have a feeling of heat, my heart is like a pot of water about to boil on a wood stove, my whole heart is boiling, and even my whole body feels hot, as if people are having a fever.

"Put aside distracting thoughts and concentrate on reciting the Tao Te Ching."

At this time, Master's voice rang in my ears, and I subconsciously did so.

In the past few years, I have to recite the Tao Te Ching every day, and the scriptures have long been ripe, and I have not felt jerky when I recite them temporarily at this moment.

After a while, under the recitation of the Tao Te Ching with all my heart, the feeling of heat in my body and heat in my heart was swept away. The heart also calmed down.

I felt my surroundings carefully, and soon, in the black world with my eyes closed, I seemed to pass through the low wooden houses, and suddenly I felt the source of the cool chill.

It's a tiled house in front!

I quickly opened my eyes and told the master, and after hearing this, the master walked up to the chubby man and said, "Jianwei, you and Jianguo go and arrange the formation, the little ghost is in the old Zheng Tou's house, remember, don't disturb him!" ”

As soon as Master said this, I began to take a closer look at the fat and thin two people.

These two people are brothers, both wearing gray clothes, and the appearance of the two people has to be carefully looked at to see that there is indeed a similarity.

The fat brother is called Jianwei, and the thin brother is called Jianguo.

Jianwei answered in a low voice, and then left the team with Jianwei. And I looked at Master with a curious expression, I didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"The two of them inherit the Xiangzi Pulse, this formation, it has to be arranged by the Xiangzimai, so it is called atmospheric!"

As Master explained to me, he put his hands behind his back and walked forward with a leisurely expression.

It's like a sightseeing trip.

Zhu Qinshou and I looked at each other tacitly and shook our heads.

Master walked leisurely in front, and Zhu Qinshou and I followed slowly behind. The closer I got to the location of the little ghost, the more I felt the cold, and when I thought of the horror of the little ghost, I began to have a trace of fear in my heart.

Don't laugh, everybody. When my master asked me if I was afraid, I said that it was true. Now I feel the aura of a little ghost, and in this environment, it is normal for a ten-year-old child of mine to have a trace of fear.

In order to eliminate this fear, I looked at Zhu Qinshou beside me, and I had a way in my heart!

"Uncle Beast, are you also a Taoist priest?"

Zhu Qinshou may have been scared too, he didn't hear me deliberately call him "beast".

"yes. I am from the department of Master Chen, but compared to Master Chen's lineage, there is nothing to say about my mentorship. Zhu Qinshou touched the back of his head embarrassedly and replied.

It seems that this way of chatting makes Zhu Qinshou feel that it is a good way to eliminate fear.

So he didn't wait for me to continue to ask, and said endlessly: "You must know that your lineage has a well-deserved reputation in the circle!" You're just getting started, aren't you? Let me tell you, I want to think that back then, your master and ancestor were alone in the great battle in Kunlun Mountain, ......"

"Ahem!"

Just as I was listening with relish and wanted to continue listening, Master interrupted Zhu Qinshou's words with a cough.

"It's almost time to get to Old Zhengtou's house. Zhengyi, I'm going to teach you a mantra now, and when you feel scared, you can recite it in your heart. Don't get distracted, you see? ”

After speaking, the master stopped, and then said to Zhu Qinshou: "You go and see how Jianwei's formation is arranged." ”

I don't know if I'm suspicious, or if I'm looking away. I clearly saw the master glaring at Zhu Qinshou, and then Zhu Qinshou's eyes dodged for a moment, and then he quickly nodded and turned his head to find the two brothers Jianwei.

Before I could speak, Master began to teach me the mantra.

Speaking of which, this mantra is not an uncommon thing.

It is a pure heart recipe that every sect will have, and some sects are called meditation decisions. In fact, the purpose is the same, to assist the person who recites to quickly enter a state of calming down.

I had a good memory since I was a child, and the mantra wasn't long, so I quickly memorized the mantra. It wasn't until I memorized it several times in a row that Master made sure that there was no problem with my pronunciation and sentence breaks, and then nodded with satisfaction.

As for why Zhu Qinshou was separated, according to the master, our lineage, even if it is the basic pure heart formula, cannot be passed on.

But later, when I grew up and came into contact with some things, I realized that another reason was that Master was afraid that Zhu Qinshou would say something more here.

Of course, that's what happened after that, as I'll get to later.

We waited in place for a while, and Zhu Qinshou came back, and then said, "The formation is almost over." Jianwei and Jianguo are worthy of being geniuses in the same vein, the legendary formation, tsk, the breath of that formation ......"

"I said Zhu Qinshou, don't you have a door on your mouth?" The master was obviously worn out of patience by Zhu Qinshou, and couldn't help but shout.

Zhu Qinshou was yelled at by my master, and the words behind him were swallowed into his stomach, and he looked at the master with an innocent face, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

The master was covered with goosebumps when he looked at him, and hurriedly said: "Go, solve the little ghost, and I'll solve you again!" ”
