Chapter 161: The Master Returns Home
Three days later, the grandfather walked out of Tai'an and approached the Heze realm, the grandfather didn't know at first, and then asked Xiao Laodao, where is this, how does it feel so familiar? This is a draft, to be revised tomorrow.
Xiao Laodao said that he was about to enter the Heze realm, and when the master heard it, he immediately disagreed, and if he entered Heze by himself, wouldn't it be tantamount to throwing himself into the net?
The route designed by Xiao Laodao before starts from Tai'an, passes through Heze, passes through Luoyang, goes to Xi'an, and then turns from Xi'an to Hanzhong, and from Hanzhong to the hinterland of Bashu. Xiao Lao Dao means, these places, all of them are the Central Plains, a horse Pingchuan, if you don't go to Heze, if you go south, the road will go around a long way, on the contrary, if you go north, it is all mountain roads, not suitable for horseback riding, and it will delay a lot of time.
Xiao Laodao persuaded my grandfather, as long as you get to the ground in Heze, don't make trouble, don't attract attention, and don't take those paths, you will definitely not be discovered by those bandits.
The grandfather did not agree, the grandfather was not afraid of those ringing horses, but felt that he had no face to go back to Heze and face Shan Xueer, as the grandfather experienced and grew older, he felt more and more that the means used to sweep the Xiangma cottage were not moral, especially to deceive the feelings of other girls, and he also said to other girls that he didn't know martial arts, just a scholar or something...... If these are spread out, his reputation as a dragon slayer will be greatly reduced.
Under the resolute opposition of the master, Xiao Laodao changed his route, went north through Kaizhou (that is, the current Puyang City, and Heze across the Yellow River), passed Weihui, and then to Luoyang, so that the distance was a little farther.
More than ten days later, everyone crossed the boundary of Kaizhou and came to Weihui Mansion, Xiao Laodao said to the grandfather that this place used to be the ancient battlefield of the Shang and Zhou Muye Wars, and the "defection" originated here, and the grandfather looked around when he heard the words, and he didn't feel anything, but he definitely didn't expect that the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression decades later would force him to move his family and settle here.
Out of Weihui Mansion, came to the edge of the Yellow River, at this time, it was late, and there was still a ferry on the river, but Xiao Laodao meant not to hurry up, first find an inn by the river to stay, and wait for tomorrow to cross the river during the day.
After dinner, the grandfather walked alone by the river, and from time to time, he glanced at the other side of the river with a lot of thoughts, but it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, where was the boundary where they were now?
On the other side of the river, it is my grandfather and my grandmother who lived in Sanwangzhuang, so close to my parents, it is strange that my grandfather can still be calm, and besides, next to the inn where my grandfather lives, it is a village called "Liu Zhuang", which is my grandfather's hometown, and also my grandfather's hometown, and later Gaozu worshiped Wang Shoudao as a teacher, and with the consent of his parents, he moved to Sanwangzhuang on the other side of the river, and lived with his master Wang Shoudao, one is convenient for learning artThe second is to provide for the master, who is nearly 100 years old.
In this "Liu Zhuang", there are also two younger brothers of my grandfather, that is, my grandfather's own uncle, and my grandfather also had dealings with them, and after the grandfather killed the pair of adulterers and adulteresses, my grandfather's second brother, that is, my grandfather's second uncle, also helped the grandfather hide his official errands...... (For details, see Last Ghost Hunter)
"This young master, are you going to cross the river?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the river, the grandfather was stunned, and then came back to his senses from thousands of thoughts, and the grandfather looked at it, and saw a small boat parked by the river, and there was a dark-skinned captain standing on the boat.
The master hurriedly replied politely: "I don't cross the river, you can ask someone else." ”
"Hey." The captain answered, and then sighed, "Now this business is getting more and more difficult to do...... said as he rowed the boat in disappointment and was about to leave.
Seeing this, the master hurriedly asked him: "Fu Gong, have you heard of the Xuanyi of Sanwangzhuang on the south bank of the river, showing people evil things." ”
When the captain heard this, he hurriedly stopped the oars and replied loudly: "Of course I have heard of it, young master, you inquire on both sides of the river, who can not know him, good people, both of them are good people and living bodhisattvas." ”
When the master heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and asked again: "Then you know...... How are the two of them doing now? ”
"How's it going...... Then I don't know, but, a while ago, I heard that their son ran away from marriage, and made Master Liu angry and had a serious illness, you said that this Master Liu, don't talk about giving people money, look at who is poor and still give money to others, how can such a good person give birth to such an uncompetitive son! ”
When the master heard this, he was speechless, this is what the famous dragon slayer hero does, in the eyes of others, he is just an unfilial son.
Seeing that the master was silent, the captain hurriedly said: "Young master, do you want to find Master Liu to see something, then you can take my boat, I will send you over, Master Liu also has kindness to our family, you look for him and I will charge you a few pennies less." ”
When the master heard this, his heart was shaken.
I heard the captain say again: "Young master, I think you really have something, or you can get on the boat, I will send you to Master Liu, if you don't have any money with you, you can give it to me in the future." ”
When the master heard this, the ghost sent the god to get on the boat, and at this moment, another person suddenly appeared on the bank of the river, shouting at the captain: "Wait a minute, I want to cross the river too!" ”
The master followed the sound and looked at it, it was a thin figure, because it was dark, the master couldn't see it clearly, and the grandfather asked the master as if flattering, "Young master, look at this ......"
The grandfather understood that the captain wanted to pull this job, and the grandfather said, "Let him get on the boat." After speaking, the master turned around, looked at the other side of the river in the distance, and thought of his parents again, remembering Xiaojin, remembering Wang Caoyu, and thinking of Xiaocui......
Who are Wang Caoyu and Xiaocui, Wang Caoyu is Wang Qiangshun's grandfather, my grandfather's iron buddy, and Wang Xiaojin's brother; Xiao Cui, is my grandfather swept the Xiangma cottage, recognized a sister, at that time, my grandfather was chased by the little ghost monkey, he led Xiao Cui to the village of Sanwangzhuang, he did not go home, wrote a letter, let Xiao Cui take the letter into the village to find my ancestor and grandmother. The details will depend on the last ghost hunters.
The captain rowed the boat to the shore again, and the man on the shore quickly got on the boat, and the grandfather glanced back at her, and saw that the man was not big, wearing a loose robe, and a hat on his head, on which a curtain was sewn, similar to the hat that the ghost monkey usually carried, and the curtain completely blocked his face.
The grandfather twisted his head back at a glance and didn't care, and at this time, he heard the captain ask, "This master, where are you going?" ”
Then the man replied briefly, "On the other side of the river." ”
Although there were only three words, the master felt that there was something wrong with his voice, as if he was deliberately pulling his throat and pretending to be it, and the master did not look back at the person, but secretly raised his vigilance.
An hour later, the boat came to the south bank of the river, and the master got off the boat, turned around and asked the captain, "Fu Gong, are you in a hurry to call it a day?" ”
The captain asked rhetorically, "Young Master, do you have any orders?" ”
The grandfather said: "If you are not in a hurry to call it a day, wait for me on the shore for half an hour, and I will go back as soon as I go." ”
When the captain heard this, he hurriedly agreed, "Okay young master, just go, I'll wait for you here." ”
The master nodded, took out a small ingot of silver from his arms, and threw it to the captain, who caught the silver and suddenly said "oops", and shouted: "Young master, this is enough to carry you twenty times, don't worry, I will be waiting for you here!" ”
At this time, the thin guest also paid for the boat, and left without saying a word, and the master glanced at his back, and left in a hurry.
Leaving the river, the master looked not far away, it was a small village, and at this time, the lights in the village were lit, and the master couldn't help but throb, Sanwangzhuang.
Father, mother, son is back......
However, the grandfather didn't plan to go home, he just wanted to quietly look into the courtyard through the courtyard wall to see if his parents were okay.
Along the familiar road, the grandfather came to the door of the house three times and two times in the village, and his heart throbbed again.
By this time, it had been two years since the grandfather ran away from home, and if he hadn't met Xiao Laodao, he might have already returned home with the ghost monkey.
At this time, the courtyard door of the house was actually open, and the grandfather was stunned when he saw it, and said in his heart, did my father know that I was going to come back to see them, and deliberately opened the courtyard door?
When he got closer, he found that there was candlelight in the courtyard, and the grandfather hurriedly hid sideways outside the door, and listened carefully, and from the original came the deep voice of my ancestor, who was actually reciting the mantra.
The grandfather held his breath, glanced inside, and saw that in the middle of the courtyard he was familiar with, there was a square table, on the square table there were incense burners, candles, yellow paper, peach wood wedges, etc., behind the square table, there was a tall and honest person, the grandfather's heart suddenly jumped, this is my grandfather, my grandfather's father, tall figure, loyal face, looks kind and upright.
In front of the square table, with his back to the door, there was a chair, and on top of the chair, a man was tied, who seemed to be strangled and struggled to make a whining sound.
On one side of the square table, there was a pair of middle-aged men and women, who seemed to be husband and wife.
At this time, after my ancestor finished reciting the mantra, he reached out and picked up a peach wood wedge on the square table, and said to the person who was tied: "If you can't leave, if you don't leave, I will stab you." ”
The tied man whined a few times, as if he was not convinced, and Gao Zu raised his hand and pricked it with a peach wood wedge in the chest of the tied man.
My ancestor is different from my grandfather, he is the first generation of our family to exorcise evil masters, although the qualifications are poor, but he has studied art for 20 years, and he has won the true inheritance of the ancestor, and his skills are also the most exquisite.
The person who was tied up suddenly stopped struggling, and the whole body trembled, and Gao Zu immediately walked around behind him, raised his hand and lightly touched the Fengfu acupoint behind his head, and the person immediately drooped his head.
Seeing this, Gao Zu breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to the couple next to the other party's table: "The evil ghost has sealed me for the time being, and now, as long as you beat it out, you can accept it." ”
As he spoke, Gao Zu walked to the square table and picked up a piece of yellow paper from the table, but at this moment, the person who was tied up suddenly raised his head, and with a clatter, broke the rope on his body......
