Hearing the ninth master say that the time has come to save my grandfather, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell.

I rolled over and got out of bed, and asked Jiu Ye how to save my grandfather.

The ninth master asked me to hurry up and prepare a bamboo branch, only need the bamboo pole part of the bamboo branch, and remove the side branches and leaves on the side.

Liu Ruoxue was worried about me, saying that I had just woken up at this moment, and although my soul and body were together, my body was still very weak, and she wanted to go with me.

In the past half a month, Liu Ruoxue has often been absent from my house, and she doesn't spend much time with me, since she wants to accompany me to the bamboo forest, it couldn't be better.

At this time, it was already dark, Liu Ruoxue and I were close to a bamboo, tore off a bamboo branch, repaired the bamboo branch according to the instructions of the ninth master, and took it home and handed it to him.

The Ninth Master was spreading out a white paper ribbon on the table of my family's Xiangtang House, he picked up a brush and drew some twisting symbols on the note, I only knew my grandfather's name in the middle of the note: "Wu Desheng".

Then, he hung the white paper tape on the top of the bamboo branch.

Seeing that I was looking at that thing curiously, the ninth master took the initiative to tell me that this was the spirit flag. With the spirit flag, I was able to summon my grandfather's soul back, otherwise he would have been away from his body for too long and would run away.

After making the conjuring flag, the ninth master asked me to catch a big rooster, preferably the kind where the cockscombs are so red that they are black. In addition, prepare three sticks of incense, some paper money, and a small handful of dry straw for him.

The things he asked for were easy to find, especially the dry straw, which was available to every household in the countryside.

I quickly got all the things he wanted.

The ninth master grabbed the dry straw and easily made a very small straw man. Immediately, he took out a small piece of yellow paper and asked me for my grandfather's birthday, and wrote his name and eight characters on it.

He placed the yellow paper in the middle of the little straw man and tied them around the rooster's neck.

After all these things were done, the ninth master picked up the rooster and asked me to follow him with the spirit banner and paper money.

He entered his grandfather's room, put his right index finger and middle finger together, and drew something in the air on the rooster's head, and at the same time chanted words in his mouth: "The soul makes people know, paper money paves the way, and quickly brings Wu Desheng's soul back to its place!" Walk! ”

When he had finished reading it, he put down the rooster, turned around and went out of the house, and I followed.

To my great surprise, the rooster ran up after us.

According to the instructions of the ninth master, I followed him, with the spirit flag, and after walking three steps, I scattered a piece of paper money on the ground, with a mouth in my mouth: "My grandfather wants to go home, please make it convenient!" ”

Soon we arrived under the big locust tree, the ninth master lit the three incense sticks and inserted them under the tree, he bowed to the locust tree three times, and recited in his mouth: "The Taoist ancestor passed on the card order, King Kong is lined up on both sides, the soul of a thousand miles is coming, and the soul of Wu Desheng is coming quickly." ”

Soon after he finished reading, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the big locust tree, and soon I saw three identical shadows of my grandfather coming out of the locust tree, and I almost dropped my jaw.

The Ninth Master looked serious, and did not speak to them, but recited to the little straw man on the rooster: "With your body as the real body, bring the soul into the body, and Wu Desheng's soul will return to its place quickly!" ”

The shadows of the three grandfathers in front of me quickly melted into the straw man.

I saw the big's body sink as if it had something heavy hanging from its neck.

Soon the big rooster ran towards my house quickly, and Jiu Ye and I followed the big rooster.

On the way back, I felt a gust of wind on both sides of the road, and the big rooster dodged left and right, as if something was blocking it, but fortunately, it soon ran into my house and into my grandfather's room.

Only then did the Ninth Master say with relief: "As long as it enters the house smoothly, it was almost fascinated just now!" ”

Saying that, the ninth master asked me to wait outside, and he wanted to go in to help my grandfather requiem.

The ninth master retreated after entering the room for a few minutes, and not long after, the grandfather's voice came from the room.

"Thirteen, where are you, where are you, I'm so thirsty!"

Hearing my grandfather's voice, I was stunned for a long time, and suddenly I felt a little sour in my eyes, and tears were rolling in my eyelids, and I couldn't bear it from flowing out.

I thought that in this life, I would never hear my grandfather call me grandson again. My reaction was seen by Liu Ruoxue, and she said: "Thirteen, your grandfather is awake now, you should be happy!" ”

I quickly wiped the corners of my eyes and said, "Yes, yes! I'm really happy now! ”

I answered my grandfather's call and prepared to pour him some water into the house.

The ninth master said with a serious expression: "I can't let your grandfather eat and drink now, wait for him to rest, and give it to him tomorrow morning." ”

As a result, I had to go into the house empty-handed.

Grandpa lay on the bed with a pale face, and when he saw me, he said that he had walked a long way, and he didn't know where he had gone, but he couldn't find his way back. It happened that a man with a cockscomb on his head brought him home.

After listening to my grandfather's description, I looked at the rooster on the ground who was so tired that it fell to the ground, and thought: You are our great benefactor, if you don't eat you in the future, you won't sell you, and you will be old.

The next morning, my grandfather was fully awake, and he thought he had only had had a good night's sleep.

He rushed out of the door, and he was going to Xianren Ridge to find someone to save me, which made me laugh.

At this time, Jiu Ye and Liu Ruoxue arrived at my house almost at the same time.

When my grandfather saw the ninth master, his expression couldn't help but change greatly, and said, "The ninth master, I was about to go to find your master, but I didn't expect you to come!" Please help me see if this grandson is in trouble......"

The Ninth Master smiled slightly and said, "Old Man Wu, your grandson is safe and well!" Do not worry! ”

My grandfather was puzzled: "Yesterday he dug up the arrow stele, I wanted to go to Xianrenling but got lost, there was a coffin down there, and he also saw a girl......"

I didn't expect my grandfather's memory to stay in the day he left home to find someone to save me.

The Ninth Master held my grandfather's hand and said, "Ouch, old man, if I say he's fine, he'll be fine!" ”

Grandpa listened to the words of the ninth master and looked at me suspiciously.

I said, "The Ninth Master has already helped deal with that matter, Grandpa, don't worry!" ”

Grandpa looked at Liu Ruoxue and asked me who she was.

I was afraid that he would wake up just now, and if he knew that Liu Ruoxue was not a person, he would be scared, so I said that Liu Ruoxue was my girlfriend.

"Thirteen is really lucky to have such a good girlfriend as you. Girl, if my grandson treats you badly, tell me, I'll beat him! ”

Liu Ruoxue couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, Thirteen, you won't bully me." ”

At this time, the Ninth Master said with a serious expression: "Old Man Wu, when the old man came to the rescue, Wu Thirteen's father left something for you, you can take a look now!" ”

As he spoke, the ninth master took out a yellow leather envelope and handed it to my grandfather.

My grandfather took out a note from it, and when he read it, his eyes were shining with tears, but soon he smiled with tears in his eyes.

"I didn't expect my grandson to have such a great blessing, thank you old man! Ninth Master, my thirteenth family, I will leave it to you. ”

The Ninth Master nodded with a smile on his face, and then said to me, "Wu Thirteen, from now on, you will be my junior brother!" ”

His words surprised me, how did I suddenly become his junior brother?

"What, teacher...... Bro? Ninth Master, are you kidding me again? ”

My grandfather's face sank and he said, "Thirteen, the ninth master didn't joke with you, your father had already sent you to the old gentleman's door to be his apprentice." ”

I couldn't help but hesitate, so did I study in college for so many years!

The Ninth Master snorted coldly and said, "What, don't you still want to, there are more people who want to be the master's apprentices, and the people who can enter the master's eyes are one in a million!" ”

I was embarrassed to say, "It's not the ninth master, I'm ...... It's not that I don't want to, I'm afraid that I don't have the talent to learn from you! ”

This is indeed my big truth, in my eyes, the ninth master is a god-like existence, and I am indeed worried that I will not be able to learn.

The ninth master said: "You have no talent, the master still chooses you?" You're stupid to be an old man! Ay! If you don't want to learn, it's okay, I can't protect you for the rest of your life, think about the big python who wants someone's Xiaoxue's life, Hu Xin'er who is missing, and Liu Ruoxue's enemy, they came to the door, see how you deal with it! ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Ninth Master, you don't have to say anything, from now on, you will be my senior brother." ”

In fact, when the first sentence of the ninth master said that I would be his junior brother in the future, I had already made a decision in my heart, and I just wanted to deliberately trick him to see why they were willing to accept me as an apprentice.

"Ninth Master, I have already agreed to be your junior brother, can you reveal a little bit about why you chose me."

The Ninth Master snorted coldly and said, "I said that the master has taken a fancy to you, Wu Thirteen is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the peerless genius who is one in a million, is it okay?" ”

I......

After Grandpa's body completely returned to normal, Liu Ruoxue and I moved to the shop opened by Jiu Ye.

Jiu Ye's shop, opened in an inconspicuous place on the outskirts of the town, sells some items to ward off evil spirits and change transportation.

According to the words of the ninth master, this shop is just his side business, and walking yin and yang is his real family business.

I asked the Ninth Master how long he would take me to see the Master, and he said, "I am the senior brother, the eldest brother is like a father, and the senior brother is like a master." Let's learn my skills first! ”

Immediately, the ninth master asked me what I wanted to learn.

I didn't understand what he was doing, so I immediately said casually: "I want to learn fortune telling!" ”

The ninth master slapped me on the head, and said angrily: "Fortune-telling is only the basis for you to enter the industry, of course, the ninth master and I will only teach you the basics." ”

"I don't know anything, I don't know what I can learn from you!"

After thinking for a while, the ninth master said: "Thirteen, no matter what you do, save your life first, and your life is your foundation." Therefore, to learn from me, you must first learn what can save your life, and then expand step by step. ”

I smiled at him and said, "Ninth Master, then you should teach me something to save my life first." ”

He looked stunned and said, "Okay, I'll teach you the tricks to save your life first." In addition, Jiuye's real name is Wen Jiu, since you are now my junior brother, you can change your words in the future, don't call me Jiuye anymore, to be honest, you call me old-fashioned like this. It's still commensurate with brothers! ”

I don't know when, Liu Ruoxue appeared in the house, she said: "It's already old-fashioned, do you really think of yourself as a forty-year-old?" ”

Previously, they always talked about the incident in Baofeng Temple Village sixty years ago, and I had already guessed that the ninth master was at least eighty years old, but for some reason he had a face of about forty.

The ninth master coughed and said: "Liu Ruoxue, how can I be regarded as the benefactor of you and the thirteenth, don't dismantle some things!" ”

Liu Ruoxue didn't respond to him, but told me directly that she was going home. I hadn't heard her say where her home was, and now that she said she was going home, I wasn't used to it.

I said that I wanted to send her back, but Liu Ruoxue asked me to hurry up and learn from my ninth senior brother, and don't delay any longer, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

A week later, I was cleaning in the store, but suddenly a woman came, she looked panicked, and wanted to ask Jiu Ye to help her house to see if there was any evil in the house.

The Ninth Master said to himself:

"Wu Thirteen, you've been studying for a week, you can do this thing about her!"

I couldn't help but be stunned, and said a little nervously, "You let me go alone?" ”
