Chapter 60: Rumors of the Ancient City
I couldn't help but wonder and pointed to the corpse chaser, and was about to speak, but the master slapped my hand off and whispered: "Don't be blind, the corpse chaser's eyes and ears are extremely sensitive, and it may not be good for you for you to let him see this finger, or it may be that he heard what we just said."
I was stunned, looked at the master with a look of disbelief and said, "Master, are you teasing us, can he hear us talking so far away"?
"Teasing you? You kid doesn't cry when you don't see the coffin, I remember that last time there was a young man and an old Taoist priest in the circle who met the corpse team, this kid didn't listen to the old Taoist priest's persuasion, he had to point at him, pointed out that he was fine, and scolded him as if he was dead, as a result, guess what."
I looked at the master suspiciously, and the master continued: "As a result, this kid and the old Taoist priest have been hit by the corpse chaser's technique, the old Taoist priest is okay, he has the strength to be in his body, but his young apprentice is unlucky, from morning to night has been vomiting, the whole person has become purple and bruised, this is a small punishment, in the end there is no way, the old Taoist priest can only take his apprentice to visit the corpse chaser, personally let him kneel down and apologize, which saved the young man's life, tell you that you still don't believe it, do you want to be the next him."
I shook my head awkwardly and said, "Isn't this with you, I'm not afraid, hehe."
The master glanced at me angrily, and I continued to follow up on the unspoken question just now, and said, "Master, why are they walking so slowly, no wonder it takes seven or eight ten days to catch a corpse."
The master glanced at the corpse team outside, and said: "The corpse is left behind, you go back to find it, they are not traveling, they are protecting the corpse from being left behind or left behind, the corpse chaser still has a lot of exercises to practice, such as walking skills, turning skills, dumb dog skills, anyway, these are all practiced for corpses, and it is useless for the living."
I nodded, and chatted with the master in Chu Mengxi's room for a while, and after the corpse team was completely far away, we were ready to go back to our respective rooms, but when we turned back, I felt a hot sensation in my arm, and even the hairs on my back stood up, and the master also stopped and said: "Little ghost, you are pretending to be a ghost for me, be careful that I destroy you."
When the words fell, I saw a gray shadow slowly floating out in front of me, and when Chu Mengxi saw him, he screamed in fright, got behind us, and said without daring to look: "Ah, it's him, it's this ghost, just lying on the head of the bed staring at me, it's him."
I was stunned, it turned out that it was this ghost harassing Chu Mengxi, I stepped forward and was about to make a move, but I heard the male ghost on the opposite side hurriedly say: "Little brother, don't do it, don't do it."
After speaking, I looked at the male ghost, this male ghost looked very nervous, his hand was in front of his chest, and from time to time he glanced at the black and white pisces around my right arm, I looked at him with a frown, and heard the master say: "Little ghost, why stay in the sun and be scary."
The male ghost turned his head to look at the master and said, "Master, I didn't mean to stay in the yang world, it's just that I can't find my way back."
The master was stunned for a moment, looked at the strange male ghost opposite and said, "Can't find the way?" What does that mean".
"Oh, master, that's the case, last Halloween ghost door opened, I honestly came up from the ghost gate, and under the leadership of the Wufeng ghost cha, I was more honest in the underworld, so I had some special treatment in the underworld, but I wandered in the yang world for too long, until the Halloween passed, I thought that the Wufeng ghost cha would come to take me away, but I didn't wait for others, and I couldn't find the way back, so I stayed here, master, I really didn't mean to."
The male ghost spoke.
When the master heard this, he was completely happy, and I, who was frowning, also relaxed a little, and the master said: "It's the first time I've heard that ghosts can get lost, and what did you just stare at this girl."
The male ghost glanced at Chu Mengxi, Chu Mengxi shrank back, and the male ghost said, "This... Bill, hehe, I just see that this little girl looks very smart, and she has been here for a long time, and I know that there will be a rattle every night, and I am afraid that she will be afraid alone, so I will stay by her side, but I forgot that I am a ghost, but I scared her, I'm really sorry, hehe".
The male ghost laughed, the master was stunned, glanced at Chu Mengxi behind him, and said incredulously: "You have been here all along"?
The male ghost nodded, and then the master's eyes changed and looked at me, my face was also a little bad looking, this male ghost was also very clever, seemed to understand what we were thinking, and immediately shook his hand and said: "No, no, master, it's not what you think, I did stay here for a long time, but not in this room, I just came."
Hearing this, the master breathed a sigh of relief, and I also glanced at the male ghost, the master nodded, and said, "Where do you live"?
"Huh? Where do I live? Oh, I live at No. 15 East Street, Ghost Market, Nanfang." The male ghost said.
The master nodded again and said, "Ghosts can't stay in the yang world, this will disturb the order of the underworld, so let's do it, since you haven't done anything harmful, then I'll give you a ride."
After speaking, the master beckoned, and the underworld suddenly appeared behind the male ghost, the male ghost turned his head to look, but took a few steps back in horror, but heard the master say: "Don't be afraid, go in, go directly to your house after entering."
The male ghost looked at the master, and then looked at the underworld, hesitated for a while, and finally chose to believe the master, and walked straight in, and after he completely disappeared, the master put away the underworld, yawned, and said to us: "Okay, it's late, sleep when you should sleep, girl, if you are still afraid, go to sleep in my room, I will make a bunk on the floor, and you will sleep in the bed."
Chu Mengxi shook his head and said, "Uncle Tan, no need, thank you, and the ground is cold, you should sleep on the bed, I'm not too scared."
The master nodded and said, "In this case, I have a few talismans here, you take them and stick them, one at the head of the bed, one at the end of the bed, one by the bed, one on the window, and when I leave, I will draw a talisman on the door, others can't see it, so it's more secure."
After speaking, the master took out a few talismans from his pocket, handed them to Chu Mengxi, and said: "This is a meditation talisman, stick it on the head of the bed, and the others will be pasted to the place I said."
Chu Mengxi looked at the talisman in his hand, nodded, and then we walked back to our room and continued to fall asleep.
The next morning, the sun was shining, the sun shone in through the window, and the rain that remained on the ground of the ancient city last night evaporated into water vapor, I wiped my eyes, got up from the bed, yawned and stretched my waist, looking at the sunny weather outside, I couldn't help but be happy, after a while, I put on my shoes and walked out, the master actually got up early in the morning, was exercising in the room, I walked in, yawned and said, "Master, you got up really early."
The master stopped, turned to look at me and said, "It's not too late for you to get up."
I nodded, sat down and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Practicing Tai Chi, haven't you seen it?" The master moved again and spoke.
I was stunned, looked at the master and said, "We still have to practice Tai Chi in this line, isn't this practiced by those old grandfathers and grandmothers in the park?"
"You kid knows a fart, getting up early to exercise is good for your physical and mental health, you know no." The master said.
I smiled bitterly, nodded and continued: "Master, go to eat, I'm a little hungry."
The master glanced at me and said, "Okay, you go and call Chu Yatou first, and when I finish this set of actions, I will come."
I said yes, turned around and walked towards the door, knocked on Chu Mengxi's door, knock knock..., after a while, I heard a crisp voice from inside and said, "Please come in"!
I pushed open the door and walked in, but I saw Chu Mengxi sitting in front of the dresser combing her hair, looking at the posture should have gotten up early, I walked to her side, opened the window, and suddenly a soft warm sunlight shone in, I opened my mouth and said to Chu Mengxi: "How did you sleep yesterday."
Chu Mengxi combed her hair, looked at the mirror and said, "Okay, the meditation talisman that Uncle Tan gave me last night was so useful, I slept until dawn and didn't feel anything."
I smiled slightly and said, "That's good, let's go to breakfast when you're ready, the weather is good today, you can go shopping."
Chu Mengxi put the comb aside, and said with the same smile: "Yes, fortunately, the sun is out today, otherwise there would be no fun here...., Oh, by the way, this jade pendant will be returned to you."
After speaking, Chu Mengxi walked to the head of the bed and took out Yang Mingyu, put it on my hand, I took it and put it on my neck, and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs, and by the way, let's see if the master is okay."
Chu Mengxi said yes, nodded, I turned around and walked out, closing the door by the way, but I saw the master standing at the door of his room, sorting out his clothes, and after seeing me, he said, "What about the girl Chu."
"She's still tidying up, let's go downstairs and wait." I spoke.
The master nodded, went downstairs with me, found a bench and sat at the door, the master sat next to me, took out a cigarette, lit it and said: "There are quite a lot of people in this ancient city, everyone comes out as soon as the sun comes out."
I nodded, looking at the people walking around and in the distance, listening to the noisy voices around me, reflecting the antique buildings all around, just like the ancient downtown area.
After a while, Chu Mengxi dressed neatly and went downstairs, today she was actually wearing a skirt, her hair tied with a pill head that is more popular now, and her fairy-like face really stunned me.
