Chapter 22: Secrets
The Ninth Master said with disgust: "Wu Thirteen, look at your guy's talent!" ”
I......
"Shame! I scared my benefactor, and I apologize to you, old woman! ”
Listening to the voice, that person was the old lady who appeared in my yard last night, kneeling and begging the ninth master to spare her life. At the moment, I was only less than two meters away from her, but the moon was dark and the wind was high, so I couldn't see it very clearly.
"Ninth Master, it's so late, you come to me, what can I do!" The old lady's voice sounded strange and unnatural.
"What I want you to do is very simple, you just need to tell me, what happened to the mountain king here, how can he find you to replace him!" , Jiu Ye asked coldly. I
The old woman hesitated, looked a little surprised, and said, "This ......"
The Ninth Master snorted coldly and said, "Hmm...... Would you like to taste the burning of yourself again? ”
As soon as these words came out, the lady seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly bowed down to the ninth master and said, "Since you already know about this matter, I don't have to deceive you anymore!" ”
At this point, the old woman said to the two of us: "It's a little inconvenient to talk here, Ninth Master and benefactor, would you two like to go with me to my humble house?" ”
The Ninth Master responded coldly.
Immediately the old woman made a strange noise, and I heard a rustling sound coming towards us from the grass that had not been burned by the fire.
When the things reached my heels, I realized that there were mountain rats in my hands, the size of sweet potatoes, and they were densely packed, huddled together one by one, like a carpet.
Seeing this, the ninth master said, "You still have snacks!" As he spoke, he stepped onto the mouse.
I saw those rats and thought to myself, wouldn't they be trampled to death if I stepped on them like this? Come to think of it, I came with the ninth master, how did he do it, I just got it by drawing a scoop with a gourd.
When I stood on those mice, I realized that there was no difference between standing on the flat ground, which made my heart beat faster, how could I encounter such a bizarre strange thing, what the hell did the ninth master do.
The rats soon began to move, and I felt like I was standing on one of those translational escalators, all four, and I didn't feel the slightest jolt.
The ninth master said to me: "Don't look back later, don't look underground, just look in front of you!" ”
Those mountain rats were fast, because I felt a lot of wind blowing around me. It wasn't long before we got to the front of a house.
The shape of the house is similar to that of the rich families in our village, and it is also a wooden bucket and tenon structure.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be puzzled, when did such a strange old woman live on the mountain behind our Baofeng Temple.
Her house is magnificent, with TVs, refrigerators, and a portrait of Taizu hanging on the wall, which makes her feel that this little old lady is very rich. It is roughly inferred that it is no less than the configuration of Wang Fugui's family.
When I entered the house with the ninth master, the old lady brought some fruits and vegetables and told me to eat some anyway. There are some fruits that I have never seen.
I was about to get an apple, but the ninth master slapped me on the hand and said, "I'm afraid you haven't eaten an apple!" ”
The Ninth Master took a strange-shaped fruit to me, and said with a smile: "This and this, just pick the fruit you don't recognize and eat it!" ”
I took the fruit and took a bite, and the taste was indescribably sweet.
The ninth master ate three identical fruits in a row. I caught a glimpse of the old lady's expression, which looked a little reluctant, and she was even swallowing.
After satisfying the meal, the ninth master wiped his mouth and said: "For the sake of your hospitality, first answer what I want to know, and if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can find me, or you can find your benefactor." ”
The old lady's expression froze, and she said with a little sadness: "The Mountain King disappeared a few days ago, and I am also looking for it." However, he mentioned one thing to me as he was leaving. ”
When she said this, she looked at me strangely, and stopped talking.
Seeing this situation, the ninth master said: "You can pick what you can say!" ”
The old lady nodded and said, "When the Mountain King left, he said that the matter he dealt with when he went out of the mountain this time was related to Baofeng Temple. He hasn't heard from him yet, and I'd love to find out, but you know what happened in Baofengsi Village back then......
As soon as she said this, the Ninth Master suddenly interrupted, and said with a solemn face: "Hmph! And so it was! It seems that there are a few good shows to watch now. ”
After the ninth master said this, he looked at me with a strange look, which made me feel a little apprehensive inexplicably.
It seems that the ninth master has got the information he wants, got up and took me out of here.
Just like when I came, those mountain rats supported me and the ninth master, and before we knew it, they sent us to the location of the Mountain King Temple.
Strange as it may seem, I wanted to remember the way, and when I had time, I would go to the old lady's house to have a look. However, no matter how much I recall, my mind is blank, and I can't remember how I got there.
I asked the ninth master why I couldn't go to the old lady's house.
The Ninth Master said that if I could remember the way to go, he would have been in vain for so many years.
On the way back to my house from the Mountain King Temple, the ninth master suddenly asked me if I liked Liu Ruoxue.
I don't know why he asked me this question, the scene where Liu Ruoxue appeared for the first time has already come to my mind.
My heart tells me that although Liu Ruoxue is very mysterious and I don't know her identity yet, I have indeed begun to like her.
"Ninth master, Liu Ruoxue said that she was my mother-in-law, I have to figure out why I have such a daughter-in-law as her! However, this does not affect my liking of her. I couldn't help but say.
Jiu Ye said: "When the time is ripe, I will tell you how she became your daughter-in-law." ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait." ”
After returning to my house, Jiu Ye asked me with a serious look where I put the black sign he gave me.
I said that I put it in a box on the table, after all, it was a gift from him, and I was afraid that I would lose it with me.
After the Ninth Master learned about it, he said very seriously: "Thirteen, that brand, you must bring it at all times from tonight onwards." ”
I hurriedly went to take out the brand, and then I asked the ninth master: "What is this brand for?" Nine masters! ”
He didn't tell me what it was for, he told me to take it with me, even if I was showering, and to keep it next to me.
I couldn't help but think of the Thai amulet, although I have not seen the real Thai amulet, but I have learned some legends about the Thai amulet on the Internet.
Legend has it that the Thai Buddha can bless the safety of the owner, and even more, it is said that the Thai Buddha can make people invulnerable.
I looked at the sign given by the ninth master and thought: This can't be something similar to a Thai Buddhist card.
Liu Ruoxue on the side saw this brand, and couldn't help but look moved, I felt that her eyes were a little complicated when she looked at the black card.
When the ninth master left, I told Liu Ruoxue that I wanted to go to the toilet, and in fact I quietly followed the ninth master.
I really can't bear it, I want to know where Jiu Ye goes every night, no matter how late it is, he won't stay at my house.
I kept a suitable distance from the ninth master, and promised not to be discovered by him, nor to lose him.
After the ninth master came out of my house that night, he stopped for a short time outside the courtyard, and then he walked towards a place in the village.
I tiptoed behind him and came to Zhang Tianquan's ancestral house.
How could the ninth master come to Zhang Tianquan's house, my heart was full of doubts.
Zhang Tianquan's ancestral house is a very old wooden house, and if you get a little closer, you can hear the conversation in the house.
"You're finally here?" , Zhang Tianquan Zuzu's voice remembered, and he said slowly.
The ninth master's voice was a little cold: "Baofeng Temple, I can't help but come!" Looks like you three old guys can't control it at all! ”
The combined ages of the two Ninth Masters are not as old as Zhang Tianquan's, but the Ninth Master has no intention of respecting Zhang Tianquan at all.
Zhang Tianquan said: "I thought that the three of us would be able to defend Baofeng Temple, but now it seems that things have exceeded our expectations. ”
I could hear their conversation very clearly, but I had a hard time listening to them. Because, I don't know what they mean by what they say.
However, judging from the conversation between Jiu Ye and Zhang Tianquan, the two of them have known each other for a long time.
The room fell into calm for a while, and the Ninth Master broke the silence and said: "Zhang Tianquan, I just came to tell you that if you can't manage this matter, then I will save that child, just like twenty-one years ago, I will do everything to help him get through." If you meddle in this, I will not show mercy! ”
Zhang Tianquan was silent for a while, and said slowly: "It is forgivable to do sins in heaven, but you can't live for your own sins." The three of us old guys have lived enough! ”
The Ninth Master snorted coldly, and only said one word: "Okay!" ”
When he had said this, he came out of the house. I watched him walk out of the yard before I was ready to leave.
However, just as I was about to quietly leave my hiding place, I suddenly saw another man slowly walking in from outside.
