After the master introduced the number, Li You opened his mouth and said, "My name is Li You, and I don't have a road number." ”

"I know you don't", the master gave him another look, then picked up a piece of green bamboo shoots, put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "Our Qingyun Temple belongs to a jungle temple, so we are not allowed to accept apprentices." However, now that the situation is different, I will make an exception to accept you as an apprentice, and when we have eaten, we will officially apprentice. ”

Isn't it just a formality, and it's so solemn.

Li You stared at the rape and green bamboo shoots on the plate, and said in his heart, this clear soup has little water, and the lack of oil and salt is not osmium.

I was about to complain, but suddenly the door was pushed open.

Then two young people walked in, Li You saw that they were uniformly dressed, and it was very likely that they were from the official yamen.

But when they entered the house, they first bowed to the master, and then arched their hands:

"Master Liu, our old lady died of illness at noon, and the old man ordered me to come and invite you to sit in the mansion to discuss the future."

Oh, so that's what happened, these people should be the family members of a certain house.

Li You looked at the master who didn't say a word, as if he couldn't believe it, and when the uncle saw this, before he could open his mouth, he got up directly and walked to the family and said:

"In this case, you wait outside the door now, and I will discuss it with my senior brother." Then, Uncle Shi looked back at Li You and said, "You also go out together." ”

"Okay, the little ones are waiting outside the door for the two of you to reply." With that, the two family members saluted respectfully again, and then walked outside.

Li You was a hundred unwilling, so he quickly grabbed two chopsticks and walked out with a rice bowl.

After dusk, the sky begins to be cloudy, and it will rain after nightfall.

Li You looked at the sky while pulling the green vegetables and rice in the bowl, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of a sentence.

"When the moon is dark and kills people, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire."

Standing behind him for a long time, the young man who was not tall, hearing him muttering this, hurriedly stepped forward and patted Li You on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Li You looked back at him and found that his expression was extremely mysterious, so he lowered his voice and asked again, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"You, are you placing orders here?"

When the little man asked, Li You didn't understand what was going on at all, but for the sake of face, he hurriedly nodded.

When he was still thinking about what "pending order" meant, the family next to him grabbed Li You's sleeve and walked into the distance.

Li You knocked off his hand for no reason, and said a little angrily: "Don't pull and pull, just say anything directly." ”

"Hey, you don't know, this Taoist temple, it turns out that a lot of people have died, hurry up and change places!"

Dead person? Now Li You was even more confused, and hurriedly asked him what was going on.

"Hey, you don't know, there used to be a hole here, and according to legend, there was a demon beast living in it, and it could spit out poisonous mist when it opened its mouth, which was harmful to one party. Later, one after another, some people volunteered to catch demons, but none of them made it back alive. ”

Li You looked at his exaggerated expression, and suddenly felt extremely funny, and after swallowing the last bite of rice in the bowl, he said disdainfully: "How can there be so many demons and monsters in this world, don't listen to others fooling you." ”

"Really, I don't lie to you, someone has seen it, the demon beast is wide and fat, like a poisonous toad. If you open your mouth, you can spit out a poisonous mist......"

When the two of you were chatting one by one, the voice of Uncle Liu Jiji came from the gate.

Li You didn't care about the little man's persuasion, and hurriedly walked to his uncle around him and asked him what he commanded.

"The deal is coming."

Uncle Shi whispered in Li You's ear, and then straightened up and said to the two family members:

"My brother said that he would rest at home and get up early tomorrow. My nephew and I are in charge of the aftermath of this event, and the two of you will wait for a while until we can find it. ”

"Okay." The little man happily agreed.

After that, Uncle Shi turned around and walked into the courtyard, and said to Li You beside him: "You go to the shrine of the main hall, take the thunder splitting peach wood sword left by my master, and by the way, go to the box in the east wing to find a decent dress to wear, and see what kind of body you are wearing?" ”

"Uncle Shi, do you still need a peachwood sword to do white things?" Li You said as he retreated into the main hall.

"Don't talk nonsense, let you take it, I have to prepare other applications, let's meet at the door."

Seeing the back of his uncle's departure, Li You hurriedly trotted into the door, but found that his master was gone.

He said in his heart that the old man kept a straight face all day long, as if someone owed him much money. Since he didn't go, his tense nerves could relax.

After putting down the rice bowl, Li You took two quick steps and removed a jet-black wooden sword from the shrine.

After holding it in his hand, he suddenly realized that this thing looked light and fluttering, but it was full of weight in his hand.

After a closer look, it became clear that the jet-black color of the sword body was not an inherent color, but was dyed like this by some kind of liquid.

Blood? Li You thinks back to the old Hong Kong movies he watched before, and the first thing that comes to mind is blood.

"Black dog blood? Rooster blood? Li You muttered and was stunned, and suddenly there was an anxious urging voice from his uncle in the courtyard, Li You didn't delay, and hurriedly trotted out.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, not to mention that it is late now, and there is no fire in the forest to cover the sky and the sun, and it is very difficult to walk.

Li You was not idle all day, he was somewhat tired at this time, and hurriedly turned around and asked the little man how far he was from his destination.

"Li You! At night, don't turn back quickly and watch out for the light on your shoulder! Uncle Shi saw that Li You's movement was too violent, and hurriedly said sharply.

"Huh? What does it mean? ”

"There are two bright lights on people's shoulders and a yang fire on their heads, which are used to protect themselves from the dangers of lonely souls and wild ghosts. You just turned around so violently that it was easy to extinguish the lamp on your shoulder. ”

Uncle Shi's words made Li You feel goosebumps all over his body, but he still nodded like a chicken running through broken rice.

While speaking, the four of them had already come to the position by the river, Li You stood by the river and looked left and right, it turned out that this was the position when he came at noon.

While dragging his shoes helplessly, he was still thinking about whether the temperature of the water was low or not, and when he was about to enter the water, he was stopped by the little man.

"Little master, there is a bridge underneath, why did you go into the water?"

Li You scolded in his heart, this master is too good at playing with people, turned around and smiled bitterly at the little man: "It's okay, I just want to drink saliva." ”

"Why do you take off your shoes when you drink water? Also, this water is undrinkable, and legend has it that the poisonous mist of the monsters has already polluted the river ......."

"Okay, okay, don't drink, don't drink." Li You saw that he was endlessly talking about it, and hurriedly ran downstream.

When Li You saw the little man mention the bridge, Uncle Shi and another family member had been waiting for a long time.

"Hurry up!"

Uncle Shi's tone of speech was unusually harsh, Li You didn't dare to contradict it, nodded and walked behind Uncle Shi, and the four of them reassembled and continued to move forward.

It didn't take long to walk, Li Youdu was really thirsty, and suddenly saw a town appear in the distance.

Because it was so dark, I couldn't tell how big the town was, but judging from the outline, there should be more than 100 households.

Li You stood outside and watched for a long time, and found that there was only one door with light.

Unlike modern people, the ancients did not have much entertainment at night, so they naturally went to bed early. And if the lights are still on so late, nine times out of ten it will be the destination of their trip.
