Chapter 54: The Employed Taoist Priest

It all happened so fast that I didn't even have time to react before I felt like my eyes were dark, and I was once again plunged into boundless darkness.

"Uh, wake up......"

In the silent darkness, a loud cry came from nowhere, echoing in my ears like thunder in the clear sky, and a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly came to my heart. And with the sound of that loud shout, a glimmer of light slowly appeared in this boundless darkness, and that glimmer of light became brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, and finally a huge gap was opened in the darkness.

Without the slightest hesitation, I quickly ran towards the gap where the bright light came, until I completely rushed out, and the dazzling light pierced me so that I couldn't open my eyes, I felt that I was involuntarily being sucked forward by a huge suction, and after a few breaths, the bright light around me disappeared, and a sense of the world turning around me immediately emerged......

I don't know how long later, when I opened my eyes again, the darkness dissipated, and what appeared in front of me was the wooden beams of the old Gui's house full of traces of vicissitudes.

It took me a few seconds to get used to my current state, and instead of rushing to sit up, I reached out in front of my eyes to take a closer look to make sure that I had returned to my body, and I couldn't stop crying because of the feeling of being lost and regained.

"Ahh Wake up, wake up, wake up, great, doctor, stinky Taoist, then come on, Xiaoyi is awake......"

Lin Qiaoer, who was guarding the bedside, noticed my awakening, and immediately showed a look of surprise, and while informing the doctor, she carefully helped me up, leaned on the pillow, and then eagerly asked me how I felt, does it matter?

At this time, I was still in a trance, and the ethereal sense of nothingness when my soul left my body just now and the real physical perception at this moment made me a little confused, and I couldn't answer Lin Qiaoer's question for a while.

Seeing that I was just staring at my two hands with a dull expression and not speaking, Lin Qiao'er became anxious and shouted a few more times outside the house.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and my consciousness was still a little numb, but my mind was clear.

The doctor came first, and he walked a few steps to the bed, and when he saw my state at this time, his brow tightened, and a look of worry flashed on his face.

Immediately after the doctor, a dissatisfied shout came in first: "Immeasurable Amitabha, you don't let people live in peace if you eat, damn it, knowing you is considered a Taoist master for eight lifetimes!" ”

Following the complaint, a guy in a soapy green robe with his head in a bun walked in, wiping the greasy from his mouth, and at this moment, above his head, a turtle the size of a sea bowl was pulling a few locks of hair in front of his temples, and his neck was stretched out, and he looked proud.

Aren't these two guys the Taoist priest who just left, and the old turtle who doesn't know where to go to have fun?

As soon as one person and one turtle entered the house, they were dragged by Lin Qiaoer.

"Look what's going on, how could he be like this?" Lin Qiao'er pointed at me and asked anxiously.

The Taoist priest had already wiped the oiliness off his mouth at this time, and his face was not satisfied, it was obvious that he was eating before, and before he was full, he called Lin Qiao'er up.

"Don't panic, wait for Dao Ye to take a look at ......"

The Taoist priest sat on the edge of the bed, squinted his eyes and looked at me, mumbled, nodded, and said to Lin Qiao'er, who was full of melancholy: "Don't worry, the reporter's soul has returned to its place, and it is already fine, at this time, it is just the sequelae after the soul, and it can return to normal after a while." ”

The Taoist priest's words were like a tranquilizer, and Lin Qiao'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I also breathed a sigh of relief, and soon, the feeling of confusion disappeared completely, I felt able to move freely, and quickly put down my hands that were already a little numb, and leaned on the pillow.

"Are you alright?" The doctor looked up at me and asked.

"Well, it's okay!" I nodded, looked at Lin Qiao'er with a tired face, and said a little apologetically: "Sister Qiao'er, I'm worried about you!" ”

Lin Qiaoer's eyes were red, and she almost cried, sniffing and complaining why I couldn't think about it, and I had to jump into the river in the middle of the night?

I'm a little confused, can't think about it? I just slept for a while, but when I woke up, I found that I had fallen into the water.

I smiled bitterly and told a few people about the situation, and after listening, Lin Qiao'er's eyes widened and she didn't believe it, but the doctor had a different face, frowned, and said in a solemn tone: "This matter, there is a big problem!" The reporter will not commit suicide for the time being, do you think I may also commit suicide? ”

There are words in the reporter's words, and listening to the meaning of the two of them, it seems that there is something else strange in this.

I was about to ask, when the voice of the Taoist priest sounded: "Immeasurable Tianzun, I don't know if you two have committed suicide, but it is a sure thing for you to jump into the river, and this Daoist can pack a ticket." If it weren't for your Taoist master who rushed a way, and didn't eat enough for dinner, and was really hungry at night, he was going to go to the river to get two fish to satisfy his hunger, and happened to bump into you two jumping into the river, hehe......"

The Taoist priest glanced at me and the doctor with a smug face, and continued in an inviting tone: "Hehe, if it weren't for these coincidences, you two would probably have turned into fish feces in the stomachs of those big fish in the water hyacinth!" You say, how can you thank me this time? ”

The Taoist priest's words made me frown, I glanced at him, when I saw his smile, I suddenly became angry, and even temporarily put this strange thing behind me, and scolded angrily: "You are a hairy Taoist, thank you, Lao Tzu is already a face-saving person if you don't smoke you, if you want to say help, I haven't saved you, besides, the doctor just saved you once, and you are embarrassed to ask for credit in front of him?" ”

I was poked in the sore spot, the Taoist priest was bored, smiled curtly, and the doctor haha, and wanted to slip away, I quickly stopped him.

"Stop, you kid want to slip away again?" I said angrily.

The Taoist priest turned around and rolled his eyes at me, and said helplessly: "You misunderstood, eh, the Taoist master was eating just now, no, I heard you wake up, and you caught up before you were full, you wait, wait for the Taoist master to eat enough, let's talk about what's the matter." ”

As he spoke, the Taoist priest wanted to slip away again, but the doctor coughed dryly, and in a flash, he rushed in front of the Taoist priest and closed the door.

"Immeasurable, what do you want to do?" The Taoist priest raised his eyes and looked at the doctor who was smiling gently at him in front of him, as if he was a little jealous and didn't dare to be angry with the doctor, so he turned his head and transferred his dissatisfaction to me, and said angrily: "Reporter, Daoist saved you, what the hell are you going to do?" ”

I took a deep breath and looked at him, and then at the top of his head with his neck stretched, and asked him, "Why are you here, didn't you tell me I had something to do?" What are you lying to me? ”

"Damn, immeasurable you, master, what you want to ask, is this? Fuck, you said it earlier! The Taoist priest looked relieved, which made me a little stunned, even the doctor and Lin Qiao'er couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Looking at their reactions, I was a little strange, and then I heard the doctor say: "Reporter, it's your third uncle, and the Taoist priest was invited by your third uncle!" ”

"Invited by my third uncle? What do you mean? ”

The Taoist priest walked back at this time, with a sly smile on his face again, and asked me: "Do you remember the phone call your third uncle made after returning to Chengdu from Maoshan?" ”

I nodded, "Yes, but what does this have to do with your presence here?" ”

The Taoist priest suddenly smiled mysteriously and continued to ask: "Do you remember that your third uncle asked you to give me the phone at that time, saying that he had something to tell me?" ”

Now I don't need the Taoist priest to continue, I probably understand what is going on, it must be the phone call at that time, the third uncle hired a Taoist priest on the phone, and the Taoist priest told me two days later that the thing he was going to do should be the thing that the third uncle asked him to help do, and this matter has something to do with Toast, so the Taoist priest appeared here.

However, why didn't the third uncle tell me? Why did the Taoist priest hide it from me? Also, why did the third uncle invite a Taoist priest to toast?

I looked at the priest with an inquiring gaze and asked him to give me an explanation.

The Taoist priest didn't ink, and sighed: "Alas, your third uncle originally didn't let me tell you, but the matter has come to this point, and it doesn't make much sense to hide it or not, so I'll just tell you!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the Taoist priest told me in detail about the ins and outs of the whole thing, and after listening to the Taoist priest's narration, I was shocked and helpless, and finally had to smile bitterly, it turned out that all this was arranged by the third uncle.

Here's the thing, in that phone call at that time, most of the things that the third uncle told me were true, but the most critical part was that he lied to me.

It is a fact that the father was arrested, but the disappearance of the uncle did not fall into the hands of the Heavenly Witch Sect.

After my father was arrested, the uncle was very angry and looked around for trouble with the Heavenly Witch Sect, and when I heard the third uncle talk about this, I felt that something was wrong.

I know the uncle's character very well, he is not the kind of reckless person, on the contrary, it is not for nothing that the uncle can develop from a little hooligan to a big man in his hometown who eats both black and white in the past ten years. In my impression, the uncle is a guy who never suffers losses and is scheming, except for his grandmother and a few brothers in the family, he can't look down on anyone, and it is impossible for him to be so self-conscious.

It is true that the uncle's crazy revenge on the Heavenly Witch Sect afterwards does have ulterior motives, on the surface, every time the action of destroying the stronghold of the Heavenly Witch Sect is led by the uncle himself, but in fact, the person who led the team is not the uncle, but the witch puppet made by the grandmother of the Great Uncle.

I have seen the record of witch puppets in the master's codex, this is an extremely complex substitute witchcraft, even if ordinary people know this kind of witchcraft, they can't make it, only the big ones who can reach the realm of witchcraft can have a certain probability of success.

This kind of sorcery is very weird, after it is made, it needs the user to nourish with its own blood in normal times, after more than 7749 days, the user's blood can leave a blood mark on the witch golem, with the imprint, the user can control the witch golem to become a stand-in exactly like its own deity, and use the blood mark to control the actions of the stand-in, sharing perception.

Under the careful arrangement of the uncle, the witch puppet doubled led people around to destroy the stronghold of the Heavenly Witch Sect, which was a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and sure enough, the Heavenly Witch Sect was really fooled, and the stand-in was arrested, and the uncle tracked all the way through his shared perception and went deep into the core of the Heavenly Witch Sect in southern Xinjiang.

Originally, this plan was jointly planned by the third uncle and the uncle, but the uncle did have an accident after that, and soon after going deep into the Heavenly Witch Sect, the connection between the third uncle and the uncle was broken.

There was no news from the uncle, and the third uncle was in a hurry, so he followed the location where the uncle had contacted him before, and found the clue left by the uncle at the place where the two of them last contacted, which was a hastily left words:

Tianwu Cult, the Tianhe plan has been started, the specific content has not yet been clarified, the next stop: Guazhou Toast Tai, Secret Letter Demon Lake, go first for my brother, see this message, come quickly. Protect Xiaoyi, don't let him know about this matter, let alone let him follow, he is the origin of everything, remember, remember.

I took a deep breath, I never expected that the third uncle would hide so many things from me on the phone, no wonder he wanted to lie to me, uncle's letter coincided with the warning in Zhang Lingjin's letter.

It's just that why did my uncle stop me from coming to Toast, but Zhang Lingjin tried his best to urge me to come here?

Also, what is the content of the Heavenly Witch Sect's mysterious Heavenly Decree Project? Judging from the content of the warning letter, Zhang Lingjin must know the content of the plan, and the uncle, it should only be a tipping surface, both of them told me to be careful, this plan must be extremely dangerous for me, and this matter needs to be guarded against.

In the middle of the groaning, I looked at the Taoist priest and asked, "In this case, I don't blame you for hiding it from me, what about my third uncle, where is he?" I want to see him. ”

This time, without waiting for the Taoist priest to speak, Lin Qiao'er pinched my ears and muttered angrily: "You are embarrassed to ask, if you hadn't fallen into the water gourd and been in a coma for so long, Uncle Zhang would not have entered the mountain in advance." ”

"Enter the mountain early?" I was taken aback and hurriedly asked what was going on?

The Taoist priest helped his forehead, and said helplessly: "Immeasurable, your eldest master, do you know that your kid has been in a coma for a few days, and his mother has been in a coma for three days, your third uncle wanted to wait for you to wake up and explain to you, but just yesterday, those people came, they entered the mountain overnight, and your third uncle followed them with people and left." ”

"Hiss......" Taoist priest's words made me a little unacceptable for a while, in my feelings, the fall into the water seemed to have happened just now, how could three days have passed all at once? Are those people referring to the Heavenly Witch Cult? Is my dad among them?

This is the question I care about the most, at this time, the answer given by the Taoist priest made me breathe a sigh of relief, and I was eager to catch up, and when I was about to get up, the Taoist priest stopped me.

"You'd better rest now, it's not trivial to go away, even if the turtle master helps you get your soul back, but when the soul first returns to the body, it is the most unstable time, if you are not careful, it is very likely to be lost again, and then it will be troublesome."

"Besides, your third uncle left a message when he left, let me watch you, don't go anywhere, if they haven't come back in a week, we can also be regarded as backup, if you catch up now, in case of danger, everyone has to finish playing together."

The Taoist priest's words were so reasonable that I couldn't refute them, and after sighing, I honestly lay down, and the topic returned to the incident of me and the doctor innocently jumping into the river three days ago.
