Chapter 21: The Temple of the Mountain King
Hearing that the Ninth Master said that he was going to take me to find someone, Liu Ruoxue's eyebrows moved, and she said with worry: "Thirteen, he just woke up, can't he let him rest first and then go?" ”
As soon as Liu Ruoxue's words fell, the Ninth Master said with a solemn expression: "Hmph! It's very simple to let him rest, if he can't save his life, he can rest forever! ”
Liu Ruoxue's expression suddenly sank, and her fair face was a little intimidating at the moment. She stared at the Ninth Master with bright eyes, and said word by word: "If he really wants to have three long and two short, I, Liu Ruoxue, will not let go of the person who assassinated him even if I go all over the world!" ”
Her words warmed my heart and moved me quietly. It's the first time I've ever grown up that a girl cares so much about me. To be honest, although I have only met Liu Ruxue for a few days, I don't know when I have gradually had an urge to protect Liu Ruoxue.
Although I don't know who Liu Ruoxue is yet, so far, it has not affected my thoughts in the slightest.
The ninth master smiled, as if he had a deliberate gesture and said: "Ninth master, I still have the same old saying, you have to ask for more blessings first!" ”
I smiled at Liu Ruoxue and said, "Ruoxue, don't worry, I'm fine!" After Jiu Ye just gave me that piece of food, I feel much better, you see I'm in good spirits now! ”
With that, I mustered up my strength and walked around the house.
"Hmmm! Then you have to pay more attention to yourself, but don't be as reckless and stupid as when you were a child, and almost drowned in that ...... at the age of nine," Liu Ruoxue said with concern.
I heard her say that I was stupid and bold when I was a child, I felt that my face changed, she suddenly stopped, and then changed the conversation to the ninth master and said: "Please be sure to protect him, there are many things he needs to know slowly!" ”
Hearing her say this, the cold face of the ninth master finally softened, and said: "It's easy to say, you see, I'll just say that my ninth master eats soft or hard!" ”
At that time, my face changed because of Liu Ruoxue's words, which reminded me of the memory of being nine years old, I was almost drowned in the big river outside the village.
I remember vividly the scene when I was almost drowning, and in a daze, a girl dragged me from the river to the river.
Liu Ruoxue, she even knew about this, I couldn't help but have a strange idea in my heart. Could it be that Liu Ruoxue is the girl who saved me?
Just when I was briefly reminiscing, the voice of the ninth master interrupted my thoughts.
"Wu Thirteen, let's go! The Ninth Master will open your eyes! As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, because you suffered a disaster this time, you have the opportunity to see the extraordinaryness of the ninth master, and there are many mysterious things in the future, and the ninth master will slowly reveal it to you. ”
With that, he walked out of the door, and I hurriedly followed the ninth master.
I went out, turned my head and smiled at Liu Ruoxue, and said, "Lady, then my home will be handed over to you!" ”
When Liu Ruoxue heard this, her fair face couldn't help but turn crimson.
It's still dark now, but it won't be long before it gets bright. I woke up just now and didn't say a few words, and the ninth master was about to say that he would take me to find an old man to understand. I still have a lot of questions in my mind.
"Ninth Master, take me to the lame Li on the other side of the big locust tree tonight, it shouldn't be his ghost!" , I tried to ask.
The ninth master said: "He is not a ghost, only if he is dead, he can become a ghost." As for why the lame Li who came to your house to take you under the big locust tree is not a ghost, don't ask, the ninth master won't tell you now! ”
It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he says that, I am even more confused. Ghosts are still divided into life and death, and I have really increased my knowledge. But he had already shut the conversation and wouldn't let me go any further.
Suddenly, I snapped my head and remembered that the dead cripple Li had come to me, and I was surprised and surprised that I forgot to ask him a few key things.
"Oops! Ninth Master, just now I forgot to ask Li Cripple who hurt him, who took the five lamps, and the most important thing is why he bit his finger and wrote a willow character! ", I said depressedly.
"It's not that you forgot to ask, it's that Li Cripple used a trick to make you can't remember to ask these questions at all." The Ninth Master said. Since I didn't ask, it's not a matter of being depressed now, so I don't bother to think about it.
I don't know how far the Ninth Master will take me, I can't go too far, according to my careful plan, when it is dawn, I want to go and inform the people in the village that Li Cripple died at home.
I'm not sure if there were any fingerprints or footprints left behind when I was looking for those five lamps at Li's lame house tonight that made the police suspect my fingerprints and footprints. Although Li Cripple is alone, and the village may not call the police to deal with it, it is always good to be cautious. After all, in less than a week, three people have died in the village, which is already very mysterious.
Before my words fell, the ninth master said: "Waiting for you to inform, Li Cripple's meat is afraid that it will be eaten by ants!" ”
He meant, am I moving slowly?
"Ninth Master, are you kidding, it's not dawn yet, and it's only been a few hours since his body was found."
The ninth master said: "Wu Thirteen, you have been in a coma for a day and a night. The discovery of Li's lame body was already the night before yesterday! ”
I couldn't help but feel nervous, did I fall asleep for a day and a night? I quickly took out my phone, looked at the calendar, and realized that it had really been a day and a night.
"You don't have to think that the police might come and find out what information about you and me is found everywhere in his house, but I tell you that the police can't handle this matter, and they don't dare to take care of it!" , Jiu Ye said indifferently.
I...... Well, that's how I thought too much.
Thinking that another day had passed, her mood was a little low, Liu Ruoxue said that she must get her grandfather's soul back within seven days, otherwise her grandfather would not survive. But now, time is passing day by day, and not only have I not found my grandfather's soul, but even his physical body does not know where it is.
"Ninth Master, please help me find my grandfather, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die. As long as I can get it back, I can give you money, although I don't have money now, but I can make an IOU, I work hard to earn it! I can't help but say.
The ninth master said: "The master has been helping you, have you mentioned half a penny?" Nope!. Let's keep you first, I can't keep you, everything is nonsense. ”
While talking, I found that I had followed the Ninth Master to the Mountain King Temple again.
I couldn't help but wonder to myself, was the so-called old guy in his mouth the old lady?
To be honest, Jiu Ye's actions make me very puzzled. He obviously knew what happened in the dry well last night, but he still acted as if nothing had happened, looking like he was strategizing.
When the ninth master came tonight, he didn't burn incense or paper, he whispered, and said something quickly in his mouth.
After he finished reading, there seemed to be no movement, and I was staring intently at Jiu Ye, wanting to see what he would do next.
Suddenly, someone patted me on the shoulder from behind, and at the same time, a sentence rang out: "Ninth Master, I'm here!" ”
I was so frightened by this sudden incident that my cold hair stood on end, I shivered, and jumped to the side of the ninth master.
