It turned out that the wise man recommended by the fortune teller for the young man turned out to be such a chubby and smiling fat man all the time. The young man immediately apprenticed, and the fat Taoist happily accepted the young man, but after the fortune teller left, the fat Taoist handed the young man two Taoist books, and before the young man opened it to take a look, the picture turned, only to see the fat Taoist man instructing the young man to guard the merit box at the door of the temple.

The young man did not understand why the fat master of the new worship asked him to guard the merit box and ordered him to dissuade the people who went up the mountain to make incense and throw money into it. Although the young man was puzzled, he did not dare to disobey the fat master's order, and kept watch from day to night, when the mountain gate was closed, he saw the fat Taoist holding the merit box and entered the inner room, ordering the young man to cook and wash clothes. As soon as the work was finished, the fat Taoist smiled and handed the young man some scattered silver taels, and asked him to go down the mountain to buy some wine and food and go up the mountain.

Although he felt inexplicable about all the instructions of the fat master, the young man's face gradually showed a look of disappointment. After buying the wine and food, the fat man warmly greeted the young man to eat meat and drink, and the young man shook his head and didn't dare to stand it, so he was driven out by the fat man. The young man picks some wild vegetables for food alone, and at night stays in his room and reads the Taoist book in the yellowing light.

Chanting and meditating, day after day, year after year, gradually, the young man was a little unaccustomed to the fat master's tricks of accumulating wealth, and he thought that a cultivator should not be like this. But the fat Taoist scolded the young man fiercely every time, and despite this, the gap between their master and apprentice was getting bigger and bigger, and every month and even every year they lived was like a moment in my eyes, or there was no time at all.

Finally one day, the dispute between the young man and the fat master became bigger and bigger, and the fat master beat the young man, although I knew that this young man was once a general who fought on the battlefield, but he couldn't do anything about his own teacher. He was silently beaten by the master, and was imprisoned in the firewood room by the fat master, and ordered him not to eat for three days. The young man was angry, and sure enough, he sat in the firewood room and meditated cross-legged.

In the blink of an eye, two days later, the young man opened his eyes, but saw that the lock on the door of the firewood room was still not opened, and in the face of the fat master's ruthlessness and indifference, however, the young man just shook his head and sighed lightly, and did not mean to compromise. At this moment, I watched a group of people in a daze, quietly approaching the backyard of the temple, and the young man also noticed the strange noise in the backyard at this moment. Moreover, the group of people of unknown origin quietly compared the snow-white knives one by one, and the young man could see it through the crack in the door.

The young man and I seemed to have guessed what the gang wanted to do in the next moment, it must be for the fat master, for the sake of it, naturally it was to rob the house!

But when I thought that the young man should have spoken out against the gang, I didn't expect him to hesitate behind the firewood room. I shouted angrily, "If you don't stop them, your fat master will be in danger!" But my words did not make any sound, and it seemed that I did not belong to their world at all, and the young men could not hear my voice at all, and did not even know that I existed.

Could it be that he already hated his fat master? So, would you rather let that gang of robbers kill his fat master and rob the money? But although the fat Taoist said that he was greedy for money and greedy for pleasure, he was still his master after all, but he kowtowed and worshipped his master...... How could he ignore the fat Dao man? I was anxious, but I saw the young man take a few steps back sharply, then turn and lie on his back on the grass, either pretending to sleep or convincing himself.

Until the gang of robbers rushed into the inner room and arrested the fat man, and put all the money and property collected by the fat man into a sack. And the fat Taoist was slashed down by one of the robbers in the tear with the robbers. At the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, the fat Taoist had blood flowing from his mouth, stretched out his hand in the direction where the firewood room was, and called out to the young man indistinctly. But, in the end, the young man still didn't come out.

The fat Taoist died, and the robbers were about to leave with two ** bags of money, my eyes widened slightly, only to see that they took out a fire fold and lit the temple with a fire. Moreover, the fire was raging, and the roar rose to the sky, and in the raging mountain wind, the robbers left with wild laughter. However, at this moment, the young man rushed to the door, looking at the fire in the temple not far away, he hurriedly pulled the big lock on the door, but a strong wind swept in, and with a flame rushed to the door of the firewood room, the young man screamed and withdrew his hand.

The door of the firewood house was ablaze, and the thatch on the roof of the house was all on fire at once, and the young men surrounded by the raging fire were frightened, hesitant, and even desperate! He stumbled around, trying to find an exit to escape, but the fire on all sides was too big, and in the blink of an eye, all the dry wood in the firewood room was swept up by the fire in an instant. I was stunned and heard the hysterical screams of a young man coming from the fire, and in an instant, he became a burning man.

He screamed like crazy, and his voice quickly became low and hoarse, and at this moment, no matter how much he wanted to get out, it seemed that he couldn't get out. However, at this moment, the back wall of the firewood house collapsed unexpectedly, and the three walls in front of it, along with the roof, were wrapped in fire and fell down the cliff together. As I descended the cliff, I distinctly heard the hysterical roar of the young man......

Alas, the slightest hesitation of evil thoughts has created a situation from which there will be no return. If he could stop those robbers from rushing out of the firewood room before they could kill the fat people, or even before setting them on fire. Then the result will be completely different, I know very well that the fat Taoist is wrong, and he doesn't think about cultivation, he is greedy for wealth and wealth, and there are many, many mistakes, but his mistakes should not be punished by young men. After all, he was the master of young men, and now, he ended up like this.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a flash of sight in front of me, and I stared blankly at a river below the cliff, and the house that had fallen, and the young man wrapped in the fire, had fallen into it. As a pitch-black corpse slowly emerged from the water, my heart pounded. This, this is not ...... Isn't that what that old ghost looks like? Could it be that the young man is what the old ghost looked like when he was alive?

Yes? In other words, everything I see is the old ghost's past life? I...... I get it, it's telling me everything about it. Can...... I suddenly couldn't help but exclaim, "Why? Why are you letting me see this? Are you trying to win my sympathy?! ”

"No!"

At this moment, an old and low roar pierced deep into my mind. Then, I watched in amazement as everything in front of me was shrouded in a touch of darkness, all the mountains, all the water, and even all the heavens and the earth, all gone, and only the endless darkness shrouded me. I stomped around in horror and reached for the yellow cloth bag, but I couldn't find a single artifact.

But that voice just now, I'm sure, came to my ears from the old ghost. I gritted my teeth and cried out in a trembling voice, "You, where are you?" I didn't burn you, why did you do this to me?! ”

Before the words fell, I saw a dim light slowly emerging in the pitch-black environment in front of me, but in the dim air, a figure as black as ink stood there quietly, and it seemed to be less than a foot away from me. I trembled and subconsciously took two steps back, but at this moment, the old ghost slowly spoke: "You know everything about me, now I have always existed in such a situation, you look here, there is no day, no night, not even the two worlds of yin and yang, even though I want to be reincarnated again, but I can't find where the gate of the underworld is." So I found you and wanted you to help me! ”

"You, you want me to help you find the gate to the underworld?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"No!" The old ghost appeared in front of me in a flash, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back, only to hear the old ghost sigh and say lightly: "I wanted to tell you before, in fact, I used to be a cultivator, but I ...... It's really painful for me to be in this situation, and I don't want to go on like this. Little Taoist, only your master can help me resolve the sinful debts of my previous life and let me be liberated, whether it is heaven or earth, I am willing! ”

Seeing the old ghost approaching step by step, I had to keep retreating, and after thinking about it, I hurriedly asked: "You have been dead for an unknown number of years, and you don't even remember which dynasty and generation you were in that era, how can my master help you resolve it?" ”

"I ...... I really don't remember that much......" The old ghost seemed to be stopped by my question, he lowered his head silently, as if trying to remember, but soon, he shook his head vigorously, and shouted angrily: "But I remember that I used to be a cultivator, I, I at least had a time of pious cultivation, and you can see that I am not a great traitor!" Although I don't remember any of them, they are not the most important thing, as long as your master is willing to write a table, go up to heaven and go down to the earth, and wash away the sins of my past life, I will be liberated...... I was first dying of fire, then I was drowned in the water, and for so many years, I was suffering from fire and water, and I was so miserable, so painful, woo-woo......"

"I can't help you!"

I screamed and turned sharply backwards. However, at this moment, I only felt dizzy in my head, and my eyes instantly went black, and then there was a light again. At this moment, I could clearly hear Wujin and Luo Xinghai shaking me desperately, shouting my name. However, I felt something weigh heavily on my throat, and I couldn't help it, and I gritted my teeth and squirted, and at the same time, I opened my eyes sharply and watched a stream of water fly out of my mouth......
