Cheng Yang nodded and motioned him not to make a sound, and looked inside, the table in the courtyard had indeed returned to its original appearance, and the smell of food came from the main hall.

At this time, Cheng Yang saw the figure inside clearly, and the old man actually came back. Cheng Yang was not so careful, and strode into the house.

The old man took the bowl and said, "I thought you two wouldn't be back tonight!" ”。

Lu Qiu directly pulled a chicken leg from the table and put it in his mouth and said, "Third grandfather, when did you come back!" ”

The old man put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Cheng Yang and the two of them, and said, "Did you two go down the basement to the cave?" ”

Cheng Yang nodded, did not speak, and the old man continued: "It seems that fate has chosen the two of you, let's eat first, and come to the backyard with me after eating." ”

Cheng Yang knew what the old man said about the backyard, where I had never been in, when I was a child, I wanted to sneak over the wall, and after being discovered, the old man beat me with a bamboo stick, and then I never wanted to go in again, but this time the old man let us follow him into the backyard, I guess there should be something important to tell us.

After eating, Cheng Yang and Lu Qiu packed up the dishes and chopsticks and followed the old man to the backyard, the front yard and the back yard are actually in the same house, but they are divided into two types: the inner house and the outer house.

Walking into the backyard, Cheng Yang felt that the air was obviously different from the outside, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. The old man walked to the door of the room, opened the lock on it, and said, "You two come in." ”

Cheng Yang and the two then followed up in the room and found hundreds of wooden plaques on the table, and there was a portrait behind the tallest wooden plaque, but there was no name on the portrait.

Cheng Yang knelt down.

Cheng Yang was at a loss when he heard the old man say that he knelt down, and before he could react, the old man kicked Cheng Yang, and suddenly Cheng Yang knelt directly on the ground, and heard the old man speak.

"Hopeless Mountain is north of Luntian, from the secluded road to the local garden, the way of Tiancang, all things are prostitutes, and the land is Changxiang."

After the old man finished speaking, he bowed to the spiritual seat, and the incense on the incense burner became unusually bright at this time. The old man took out a stone plate, a book, and a necklace from the cupboard and handed it to Cheng Yang: "The consultant is still very good, the things you need have not yet appeared, pay more attention to yourself." ”

Lu Qiu didn't seem surprised by all this happening, he just looked at the old man directly. The old man glanced at Lu Qiu, took out a copper plate from his pocket and said, "This piece of the card is for you, I hope you two can take care of each other." ”

Lu Qiu didn't speak after taking it, just looked at Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang was a little speechless, but there was nothing to say here.

When I was a child, my father told Cheng Yang that the old man was a capable person, and he was the highest level in it, so let Cheng Yang follow the old man to see the world, the old man had never told Cheng Yang about these things, and Cheng Yang didn't understand it when he came to such a scene today.

After coming out of the backyard, Cheng Yang returned to the room where the old man lived, and Lu Qiu drove back directly instead of Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang lay on the bed and looked at the mountain peaks behind, under the illumination of the moonlight, I vaguely saw a group of people walking on it, looking like they were carrying a sedan chair, but because I couldn't see it clearly, I didn't know who it was, but I saw the style of the sedan chair clearly, and Cheng Yang's face turned pale instantly.

That kind of sedan chair is actually for people who have disappeared, and Cheng Yang is a little hairy in his heart. However, at this time, Cheng Yang didn't dare to get up and go out to check alone. I had to close the curtains, turn on the bed lamp, and look at the book the old man gave me.

After turning the first page, there is a line of short words: walking at night and not being affected by bugs is called a consultant, among which there are three hundred and sixty-nine, and the top consultant is able to control the existence of bugs.

At this time, the door of Cheng Yang's room was suddenly pushed open. The old man pushed the door in and said, "Cheng Yang, clean up, bring what I gave you, don't need to bring that book, go out with me." ”

It's been more than an hour since I finished eating, and it's already more than 10 o'clock in the evening. Cheng Yang had some doubts in his heart and asked, "That's it, what are we going out for?" ”

The old man said as he walked out: "Lao Zhai's family is gone, from today onwards I will take you to see different bugs, which are also things that must be learned, hurry up." ”

Cheng Yang heard the old man say this, Cheng Yang understood, and suddenly Cheng Yang remembered that he had just seen the sedan chair on the mountain, and suddenly felt cold in his heart, as if someone was blowing on the back of his neck.

After Cheng Yang packed up his things, he followed the old man to the Zhai family in the east of the village, the Zhai family was not the original resident of our place, it is said that they were businessmen who fled in the early years, and now they are considered to be our relatively wealthy family here. The old man walked in front and didn't take anything in his hand, but Cheng Yang held a stone plate in his hand.

The old man suddenly turned around and said, "You can put the necklace I gave you in the necklace you originally carried, just enough to fit in." Hearing the old man's words, Cheng Yang hurriedly pretended to be as the old man said.

The white lanterns had been hung at the gate of the courtyard of the Zhai family, and Cheng Yang didn't know the person who came out to greet him.

The old man comforted each other when he saw each other, and then pointed to Cheng Yang and whispered a few words to the greeter, only to see the greeting person hurriedly ran in, and after a while Cheng Yang saw several old people come out of it and saluted us.

Cheng Yang knew the meaning of that ceremony, it was a high-level specification for consultants, but it didn't look like they were saluting the old man. The old man seemed to understand Cheng Yang's heart, and nodded at Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang saw the old man nodding, and Cheng Yang made a return salute to the other party.

At this time, a child walked out with a stack of copper coins and handed it to Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang took a look at the copper coin handed over, this kind of copper coin is an old object, but Cheng Yang did not reach out to take it but looked at the old man again.

The old man took the copper coin from the child's hand and put it in his pocket, Cheng Yang didn't know what it meant, so he had to shut up and look at what was about to happen below.

When the old man accepted the copper coin, several old people on the opposite side kept thanking the two of them, and Cheng Yang had no choice but to nod and smile. When I walked into the courtyard, I saw a bowl of half-lived rice, but out of politeness, Cheng Yang didn't ask, but Cheng Yang still looked around.

Cheng Yang knew that there would be some habits here, and when he was looking at it, Cheng Yang found that the old man came over and said, "No matter what happens for a while, you have to keep an expression, what about the stone plate?" ”

Cheng Yang nodded, stretched out his hand and handed the stone plate to the old man, and in the process of handing it over, Cheng Yang seemed to see that the stone plate was not the same as what he had seen.
