Chapter 16: The Ninth Master Makes a Move
Who doesn't want to live a few more years and see more of the bustling world.
"Raw!" I say.
Although I said that, I was actually very confused. Because he made me choose to live or die, the strange thing he said happened in the village, but how can I be so sure that I will die.
The Ninth Master said: "Are you so afraid of death? ”
I didn't need to think about it, I said directly: "I, Wu Thirteen, of course I'm afraid of death, but even if I want to die, I want to get my grandfather back first." ”
Seeing my straight face, the Ninth Master smiled and said, "Hmm! Filial enough. Don't say it's you, even I'm afraid of death, it's better to die than to live. Since you want to live, take me to see your grandfather's room. ”
I don't know what the connection between my grandfather's room and my life and death is, but I still brought it in by the ninth master.
"Humph! It's interesting, it's really not easy! The corners of the ninth master's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile.
I wondered, "Ninth Master, what's wrong with my grandfather's room?" ”
The ninth master said: "Now that I have said it, you don't understand. If you don't understand, then I might as well not say it. ”
I was speechless. When Li Cripple encountered something strange, he would explain it to me, but this ninth master didn't say anything.
"Can my grandfather still be recovered?" Since he didn't want to tell me about my grandfather's room, I would ask me a different way and ask my grandfather directly.
The ninth master's expression changed, and he said, "I don't know about others, but my ninth master is out of the horse, so naturally it's no problem." Walk me around the village later. ”
"Ninth Master, is there anything wrong with Liu Ruoxue?" On the way, I asked him deliberately. For a while, I really want to know about Liu Ruoxue, and the second is to test the ninth master.
The ninth master didn't even look at it, and said seriously: "She has a problem!" And the problem is still serious. ”
I couldn't help but be stunned and stopped.
"She's got a problem with her brain." , Jiu Ye pointed to his head and said, "I have to protect you regardless of all dangers, you say, is there something wrong with her brain?" ”
After going around the village, I finally stopped in front of the big locust tree. The ninth master looked at the big locust tree, and his expression became a little weird.
"I never thought that there are hidden talents in this Baofeng Temple, who can attract the yellow spring water, not to mention, and finally suppress it back." The ninth master looked at the dry well and said.
I wondered in my heart, and deliberately said, "There is a famous feng shui master in our village, and he doesn't see anything here." Nine masters! ”
Li Cripple only said that this well was evil, and he didn't say that the yellow water in the dry well that day was caused by man.
"How do you know he didn't see anything?" , Jiu Ye asked rhetorically.
"He told me personally!"
The ninth master said: "Then I will tell you in person now, this well in front of me leads to the underworld, do you believe it?" ”
I understood what he meant, and he just wanted to say that Li Cripple's words may not be true, but I believe that Li Cripple will not lie to me.
"I shouldn't believe it." I say.
"That's right, how to say it, that's the speaker's business; Believing or not believing is a matter for the obedient. The Ninth Master said to himself.
On the way back, we happened to meet Cripple Li, who was about to go to my house to find me and talk about changing the feng shui of my house.
Seeing the Ninth Master next to me, Li Cripple's face suddenly turned a little pale, and he looked at the Ninth Master, his eyes full of doubts.
The Ninth Master stared directly at Li Cripple, with a calm expression.
"I think I'm going to meet a noble person in the last thirteen, but I didn't expect him to meet you." , Li Cripple's face turned blue and white for a while, and he seemed to be afraid of the ninth master.
Jiu Ye didn't smile and said, "I didn't expect you to meet me too." ”
Li Cripple was respectful, and hurriedly said to the ninth master: "The affairs of the thirteen families, now that you are out in person, naturally there is nothing to do with me." ”
It seems that the two of them have met somewhere, and when the ninth master leaves in a while, I will have to find out from Li Cripple.
Jiu Ye didn't want to talk to Li Cripple more, so he asked me to go home with him first, and he still had something to tell me to do.
When I returned home, before the ninth master ordered things, I asked him that I didn't have any uncomfortable feelings in myself, why he and Li Cripple thought that I would die.
The Ninth Master shook his head and said, "It seems that not only do you not believe me, but you don't even believe in Li Cripple." I'm in a good mood right now, so let you see for yourself. ”
As he spoke, he took a yellow talisman and put it on my chest, and then chanted words in his mouth, and not long after, there was a sudden "bang", and the yellow talisman suddenly ignited.
"You take off your clothes now!" , the ninth master said.
Hearing this, I quickly lifted my clothes. This sight scared me a lot.
I saw that the flesh on my chest, the size of a palm, had turned purple-black.
"How can this be, how my chest has turned black." , I was a little panicked.
"I've been cursed, if I don't help you, within three days, you will die in Huangquan." , the ninth master said casually.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of fear in my heart, and I thought that my face must be very ugly.
"Why are you helping me?" , I wondered.
The ninth master showed a speechless expression on his face and said, "The ninth master, I have nothing to do, so it's good to take care of your Wu family's idle affairs." ”
Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said that before helping me, he would give me a meeting gift:
"Tonight, you can bring your grandfather's body home."
Hearing him say this, I don't want to mention how happy I am, but he also said that grandpa's soul still needs to wait.
The ninth master said, he gave me a yellow talisman.
Tonight, I took the yellow charm to the Shanwang Temple in the back mountain, first lit three incense sticks in front of the temple, then burned the yellow charm, and then kowtowed to the Sanwang Temple three times.
After that's done, I'm going to see how well the incense burns.
The length of the three incense sticks burned is the same, so I will make a wish to the Sanwang Temple and let my grandfather go home, I can only make one wish, not the body and the soul.
If there are two short and one long, then don't linger, run home quickly, and remember, don't look behind you.
That evening, I went to the back mountain on time.
We do have a mountain king temple in the back mountain, some dilapidated, long in disrepair, but there is still incense, just the incense of the mountain king temple, not as prosperous as the big locust tree in our village.
I walked alone on the way to the back mountain, and I was still a little timid in my heart, for fear of encountering something.
My heart kept going up and down, and I felt like I could hear even my own heartbeat.
But fortunately, when I arrived at the Sanwang Temple, nothing strange happened.
I was in front of the Sanwang Temple, and I did what the Ninth Master commanded, one by one.
Then I stared at the three incense sticks, and the original length of the three incense sticks burned was about the same.
But they didn't burn long before one of the incense burned slowly, and the other two burned noticeably faster.
I couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly got up and ran home.
Behind me, there seemed to be a strange voice coming from me, as if it had been following me all along.
I ran home as fast as I could.
"Ninth Master, that incense, that incense, is two short and one long." , I said to the ninth master out of breath.
The ninth master's face was stern, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! You'll have to let me go for myself. It's bold enough! ”
After saying this inexplicable sentence that made me feel inexplicable, the ninth master went out.
After more than half an hour, the ninth master came back with a black face, and he seemed to be very angry.
When I entered the house, he asked me to go to the stove to burn some wood, and I asked him what he was doing with the fire.
The ninth master said that he would sleep later. When he is asleep, I will find a piece of charcoal the length of my index finger in the stove and put it in his mouth.
Liu Ruoxue on the side couldn't help but change her face when she heard this. I don't know why he did that, but I was surprised that if he put the charcoal in his mouth, his mouth would be burned.
Before falling asleep, the ninth master said that if I didn't do it, he would no longer help me find my grandfather, let alone save me. also asked Liu Ruoxue not to stop it.
So I could only do as he said, but I put out one end of the charcoal fire with water, and put out the part that put out the fire to the ninth master.
In the middle of the night, I heard someone outside the door whining and crying, the voice of a young lady.
"Ninth Master, please spare my life, I don't dare anymore!" The voice sounded terrible.
At this time, Jiu Ye suddenly opened his eyes.
He picked up the charcoal fire in his mouth and looked at it, and found that half of it was without fire, so he looked at me with strange eyes, and asked sharply: "Wu Thirteen, didn't you let you give the burning coals?" ”
I instantly understood what he meant, and he was asking me why I had extinguished a portion of the coals.
"I'm not afraid you'll get burned!" I say.
"Alas! You baby...... Let's let her know that it hurts, and see if she dares to be arrogant in front of me! The ninth master said and went out.
I turned on the light outside the house and hurriedly followed Liu Ruoxue out.
I saw a little old lady kneeling in my yard, and her head seemed to be smoking.
That little old lady is not from our village, and I have never seen such a person.
When the little old woman saw Liu Ruoxue, she quickly looked away. Immediately, she hurriedly bowed to the ninth master and said:
"Ninth master, you just raise your noble hand and let go of the old woman! You asked us to ask for the body of this baby grandfather, it was like my life. ”
