Zhang Tianduo pinched his fingers and said in horror: "Oh my God, didn't that Uncle Taishi live for more than a hundred years!?" ”

Li Xiang thought for a while and said, "I met Uncle Taishi five years ago, and he seemed to be one hundred and twenty years old at that time. ”

"Oh my God, that's one hundred and twenty-five years old now! It's almost a monster! ”

"You, you are always so big and small to the elders, don't blame me for not reminding you, Uncle Tai hates arrogant people who disrespect their elders the most, you have to behave when you see his old man."

Zhang Tianduo smiled: "It's not just you and me, I don't dare to say that in front of his old man." ”

"Alas......" Li Xiang looked at him, suddenly sighed, and said, "I don't know if I can come back." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Zhang Tian said in surprise.

Li Xiang hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "It's nothing, you go and pack your bags, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Although Zhang Tianduo felt strange, he didn't take it to heart, now he was most interested in this mysterious uncle, a person can live so long, it is really rare in the world.

The next day, the two said goodbye to Fu Bowen and left Jieyunzhuang.

It was a different taste to be in a hurry with Li Xiang, Zhang Tianduo felt that it was much easier to be with her, and along the way, he also had a deeper understanding of Li Xiang.

It's just that what makes him feel strange is that Li Xiang seems to have a lot of things on her mind along the way, and every time she talks to her, she is always absent-minded.

On this day, the two finally came to Taiping Town.

Taiping Town is slightly more prosperous than Fengbao Town, with a population of tens of thousands, and because it is located at the key point of the river, Taiping Town is also the most frequent town for foreign trade.

As soon as the two arrived in Taiping Town, they saw a group of strangely dressed foreign devils walking on the street and distributing leaflets everywhere.

Li Xiang was curious: "What are these foreign devils doing?" ”

Zhang Tianduo smiled and said: "They are missionaries, and it seems that Catholicism is about to take root here." ”

"Catholic?" Li Xiang was puzzled: "What does Catholicism do?" ”

Zhang Tianduo felt that this question was a little difficult to answer, thought about it and said: "They are just like Buddhism, they also guide people to be kind and help others. ”

"Oh, I'm sure I'll meet this Catholic for a while."

While talking, the two came to a shroud shop.

Li Xiang said: "Uncle Taishi lives here, let's go in." ”

Zhang Tianduo followed closely behind, and was just about to go in, but saw a white-haired old man sitting in the corner of the wall not far away, smoking a dry cigarette.

Zhang Tianduo's attention was immediately attracted by the old man's dress, the old man was dressed in gray cloth, and there was a strange circle of bamboo around his waist, which was engraved with strange runes, Zhang Tianduo hurriedly grabbed Li Xiang and said, "Senior sister, look at that old man." ”

Li Xiang was talking to the guys in the store, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Tianduo.

Zhang Tianduo hesitated for a moment and walked towards the old man.

"Old man, what are these bamboo pieces carved on your body?" Zhang Tianduo squatted in front of the old man and asked.

The old man raised his head slightly to look at Zhang Tianduo, and suddenly smiled: "Little guy, who are you?" What does it have to do with Fu Bowen's kid? ”

Zhang Tianduo was shocked when he heard this, and said in surprise: "You ...... Do you know my Master? ”

"Hey, it turns out that you are his disciple, well, the qualifications are not bad, hey, your two arms seem to have been badly damaged." As the old man spoke, he suddenly rushed out with one hand, and Zhang Tianduo felt that a black shadow flashed in front of him, and his left arm had been grabbed by the old man.

"Old man, you ...... What do you want to do? Zhang Tianduo was shocked in his heart, this old man's speed was far better than Fu Bowen's, who was he?

The old man touched it up and down, and said with a smile: "Yo, I actually used the dragon hand's forging tendon and bone refining method to continue, it seems that your little guy is very important to Fu Bowen." ”

Zhang Tianduo was even more shocked in his heart, this old man knew what had happened to him just by touching it, and this insight was too terrifying.

"Hmm, your 'Earthquake Mountain Decision' and the magic of the Fa Sect are a bit sloppy, hey, and you also learned a little bit of Mao Boy's Qingxi Decision, little guy, what about your master? Call me for it. ”

Zhang Tianduo immediately knelt on the ground when he heard this, he already understood who the old man in front of him was, he kowtowed three times and said, "Disciple Zhang Tianduo to meet Uncle Taishi!" ”

"Zhang Tianduo? Hahaha, nice name, get up. As the old man spoke, the cigarette stick in his hand was gently raised, and Zhang Tianduoli felt that his body was light, and he stood up involuntarily.

The old man said, "Where is your master?" ”

"Uncle Tai, only me and my senior sister are here, and my master is still in Yunzhuang."

"Hmm, it seems that he has already decided to participate in the Tianmen Dao Society." The old man took a puff of dry smoke and squinted.

This was the first time Zhang Tianduo had heard of the Tianmen Dao Meeting, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Uncle Taishi, what is the Tianmen Dao Meeting?" ”

The old man glanced at Zhang Tianduo in some surprise, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't your master tell you?" ”

Zhang Tianduo shook his head blankly.

The old man frowned, and instead of answering, he asked, "When you left, did your master ask you anything?" ”

Zhang Tianduo said suddenly: "Yes, he wants us to give a letter to your old man, and the letter is with my senior sister." ”

"Well, come with me." The old man said and walked towards the shroud shop.

Zhang Tianduo wanted to ask about the Tianmen Taoist Association again, but the old man walked fast, and when Zhang Tianduo caught up, he had already entered the shroud shop.

Li Xiang saw Zhang Tianduo and Uncle Tai walking in together, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Uncle Taishi, why are you ......?"

The old man saw Li Xiang at a glance and said blankly: "Little girl, you are ......"

"Uncle Taishi, I'm Xiang'er."

"You're Xiang'er?! Your face ......" The old man was surprised, he saw Li Xiang five years ago, then Xiao Li Xiang has a beautiful face, why haven't you seen her in the past five years, she has become like this?

After a closer look, the old man's face changed, and he asked, "Xiang'er, have you offended some master?" ”

Li Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Taishi, my face has become like this by myself, my master has tried everything over the years to get the point, this is probably what I did wrong in my last life, God punished me." ”

"Nonsense, you are a ghost, why didn't that kid Fu Bowen come to ask me, is there still me as an uncle in his eyes?" The old man said angrily.

Zhang Tianduo was shocked when he heard this, when he saw Li Xiang for the first time, he vaguely felt that Li Xiang's face seemed to be lowered by someone, but he knew very little about the head lowering technique, and it was difficult to confirm it. I've heard of this, this kind of head reduction is extremely vicious, it is said that people who fall into this kind of head reduction, the face will begin to fester, if left alone, the ulcers will spread all over the body after a year, and finally die tragically, ah, no, Uncle Tai, my senior sister was already like this three years ago, but she is alive and well now. ”

The old man glanced at Zhang Tianduo in surprise and asked, "You even know that the ghost face descends, it is a Siamese evil art, and few people know about it." ”

"Uncle Taishi, I grew up in Siam since I was a child, and I only recently returned to China."

"I see." The old man nodded and said, "The person who harmed your senior sister is just by your side, and he must have used some method to delay the time of lowering his hair." ”

"By our side?!" The two of them were shocked when they heard this, if this person was hiding by their side, then this person was really deep enough.

Zhang Tianduo's heart suddenly moved, thinking of the mysterious female thief, could it be that she lowered her head?

Li Xiang felt a little incomprehensible, he had been in Xieyunzhuang for so many years and had never offended anyone, why was he beheaded? What is that man for?

Zhang Tianduo thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Tai, is there a way to unravel the ghost face on my senior sister?" ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "If you come to me from the beginning, I still have a way to untie this head, but unfortunately, after so many years, the head has taken root, and I can't do anything about it." ”

"Ah, isn't there no way to untie this head?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "That's not true, you can solve it if you lower your head, as long as you find someone who descends, you can still untie this lowering head." ”

The two of them were greatly disappointed, not to mention that they didn't know anything about this descending person now, even if they did, but the world was so vast, where to find this person?

Seeing the frustration on the faces of the two, the old man said: "You don't have to be disheartened, there is a certain scope of the head lowering technique, since that person has delayed the onset of the ghost face descent several times over the years, it means that he still doesn't want Xiao Xiang'er to die, you will live with me from now on, that person will most likely come over in order to delay the ghost face descent, as long as he dares to come, Uncle Tai will naturally be able to catch him at that time!" ”

Speaking of this, the old man changed his words and asked, "Xiao Xiang'er, where is your master's letter?" ”

"Ah, here it is." Li Xiang hurriedly took out the letter and handed it to the old man.

The old man glanced at it, turned around and instructed the guys in the store, "Ah Zheng, take the two of them to the guest room." ”

The two said goodbye and retired.

In the guest room, Li Xiang was packing her luggage, and Zhang Tianduo suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Senior sister, can I come in?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Tianduo pushed the door in, sat on the side and stared at Li Xiang, and suddenly said with a serious face: "Senior sister, am I your junior brother?" ”

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Of course it is, why would you ask such a strange question?" ”

"Okay, senior sister, since you regard me as a junior brother, can you tell me, what is the Tianmen Dao Society?"

"Ah, you...... Who told you that? Li Xiang was shocked, it seemed that this matter could not be hidden.

The old man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "I said it." ”

"Uncle Taishi." The two hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The old man waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, sat opposite the two of them, took a puff of dry smoke and said: "I have read your master's letter, from today onwards, you will live with me with peace of mind, when your master asks you to go back, you can go back." ”

Zhang Tianduo didn't care about this, he opened his mouth to ask about the Tianmen Dao Society, but the old man waved his hand to stop him and said, "Little guy, don't worry, now I have a few questions I want to ask Xiao Xiang'er." ”
