Hearing Master's words, Sister-in-law Lan smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Then why is Daoist Yang reluctant to do it?" ”

"This ......" The master was dumbfounded by Sister-in-law Lan's question, hesitated for a moment, and the master smiled bitterly: "Yang thinks that it is more than enough to deal with ghosts and evil things, but for the love and hatred between the world, he doesn't know where to start...... Although the evil ghost is fixed, it is not appropriate to get rid of it, and it is even more inappropriate not to get rid of it, Yang is now in a dilemma, and he is at a loss! ”

When Sister-in-law Lan heard this, she smiled gently: "It's no wonder that Yang Dao has a profound Dao method, and he must have already transcended the outside world, and he is naturally helpless against the love and hate of men and women in the world." If Yang Daochang can trust my sister-in-law Lan, you might as well let me say a few words to Xizi alone, I am a secular person, and I also know a little about secular things, maybe I can help Yang Daochang properly resolve this problem. ”

The master immediately clasped his fists and saluted, smiled and said, "That's great, it's just that evil ghost......"

I don't think Master will give up until he gets rid of this evil ghost. However, if it were me, I would definitely not let this evil ghost go, and keeping it would only cause trouble to the people nearby.

Sister-in-law Lan turned her head and glanced at the black gas on the wall, nodded slightly, and said: "Sometimes to save a person, you have to find an expedient way, if you are too upright, it will inevitably cause unnecessary changes." Yang Daochang, please believe me, no matter how you deal with it, not only will Xizi turn the corner, but even the people here will no longer worry about the occurrence of disasters. ”

Master frowned, hesitated, did not nod, let alone shake his head, but silently glanced at me and motioned for us to go out.

He followed the master out, but when he saw the door of the inner room, he was closed by Sister-in-law Lan.

I can't help but be a little surprised, what did Sister-in-law Lan mean by what she said just now? And Master seemed to understand, but I couldn't figure it out no matter how I thought about it, so I couldn't help it, so I opened my mouth and asked Master, "Master, what do you mean by what Sister-in-law Lan just said?" Why can't I understand? ”

Master just stared at the window outside the inner room and didn't answer me, and after a while, I suddenly saw Sister-in-law Lan open the window from the inside. I was stunned, and watched the black gas rushing out of the window, it turned out that Sister-in-law Lan's words just now were implying that the evil ghost could not be eliminated, or whether it could be eliminated or not, it had to be on the premise of saving Xizi's life. Master has been silent, and it seems that he is extremely reluctant to see all this, so he did not answer me.

After a while, the door of the inner room was opened, and Sister-in-law Lan walked out slowly with a bamboo basket, holding the master's peachwood sword in her hand, and when she walked up to the master, she smiled apologetically, and handed the peachwood sword back to the master, and then turned her head and walked towards the door. It wasn't until Sister-in-law Lan disappeared from sight that I suddenly turned my head and looked at the master with a cloudy and uncertain face, this Sister-in-law Lan was too mysterious, and I didn't say a word when I left just now.

Have the things in the house been resolved?

The evil ghost was let go by her, but the master could bear it, it seems that the master really had no choice but to let Sister-in-law Lan do that. Soon, the master, the second master and Ma Liu walked in together.

At this moment, the sadness on Xizi's face disappeared, and when he saw the master, he immediately knelt in front of the master and apologized respectfully: "Thank you Mr. Yang for your mercy, if there is anything that offended Mr. Yang before, please ask Mr. Yang to do a lot of Haihan." ”

The master hurriedly helped Kiko up and sighed, "That evil ghost...... Will your husband's soul ever return? ”

Hearing this, Xizi shook her head slightly and said, "He won't come back, what kind of contract did Sister-in-law Lan sign with him, and told me that as long as the contract in Sister-in-law Lan's hand is not burned, he will never come back." The villagers in the village don't have to worry anymore. ”

"Oh?" Master glanced outside in surprise, slowly turned his head, and asked, "Then have you ever opened the knot in your heart?" ”

Kiko nodded and said, "I don't have any knots anymore, thank you Mr. Yang for your concern." ”

The master was stunned, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then it's okay." It's time for us to take our leave. ”

As he spoke, the master saluted everyone with a blank face, and then beckoned me to walk out. But the second master stopped the master in time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, you have also been tired for a long time, how can you say that you can leave?" It's better to stay and rest, we will serve tea and entertain, and let outsiders know that our village is not a person who does not know etiquette. ”

The master was obviously unhappy about letting go of the evil ghosts, and seeing that the master was about to open his mouth to refuse, I hurriedly took the lead and nodded with a smile and said: "The second master is so gracious, then how can we not be reasonable, Master, outside the village, we are looking for water and food, and I am even more hungry with my heart close to my back, and now that the second master is so retained, how can we refuse to be thousands of miles away?" Why don't you stay and eat some food, drink some water, rest your feet and go? ”

"You ......" Master frowned, but seeing my expectant eyes, Master shook his head and sighed softly, and said, "That is the case, so let's bother!" ”

When the second master heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it turns out that you haven't even eaten yet, and you're still hungry, hurry up to my house, I'll ask my old lady to make something delicious and delicious, and entertain Mr. Yang, please please!" ”

Came to the hospitable second master's house, and sure enough, he made us a table of good food and good dishes, I gobbled it up regardless of it, and the master just drank some tea, it seemed that he was all about his heart, and had no appetite to eat, so he chatted with the second master on the side: "Second master, but I don't know who that sister-in-law Lan is?" Seeing that you are so respectful to her, she must be a person with some status in this Phoenix Ridge area, right? ”

When the second master heard this, he smiled and said: "That's natural, but in Phoenix Ridge, there are more people with identity than Sister-in-law Lan, but we are only here on the edge of Phoenix Ridge, a relatively desolate place, and there can be people like Sister-in-law Lan to relieve our illness and eliminate disasters, we naturally have great respect for her, well, Sister-in-law Lan moved out of the village in Phoenix Ridge for some reason decades ago, living alone on the hillside near us, her medical skills are very skillful, and her Gu skills are also very powerful, so the people nearby are both in awe and fear of her." ”

"Oh?" When the master heard this, he immediately asked again, "Then what is the surname of this sister-in-law Lan, do you know?" ”

Hearing Master's words, I hurriedly raised my head and looked over, why did Master pay so much attention to this sister-in-law Lan? But what the second master said next made me surprised again...... "Oh, we all know this, as for calling her Sister-in-law Lan, it is also the habit of our villagers to call her spontaneously, and among her original names, there is a word 'Lan', and her full name is Shi Lan......"

Shi Lan?! Isn't Long Po's only apprentice also named Shi Lan? Could it be her?! Hearing the name Shi Lan, I just drank the soup in my mouth, and I immediately choked out, almost squirting out of my nose, choking my face and ears, and the master also opened his mouth in shock, and did not speak for a long time. The second master was shocked by the huge reaction of our master and apprentice, he didn't understand what was happening, and immediately asked, "Mr. Yang, is there anything wrong?" You are ......."

The master immediately smiled and shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, by the way, does the second master know that this Shi Lan lives on the slope of that mountain?" ”

The second master looked at the master suspiciously, and then looked at me in surprise, and then slowly calmed down, and then said with a smile: "I know, I know, Sister-in-law Lan lives on a barren slope not far to the west, she had people build a house on it in the early years, Nuoda's mansion, she lives in it alone, we can't figure it out, why she moved out of Phoenix Ridge and lives alone in a desolate place, whether she has a family, where her family is, we have no way of knowing, and no one dares to ask." Sister-in-law Lan doesn't talk much, and she doesn't like to chat. That's all I know, and the villagers know even less. ”

When the master heard this, he nodded and said, "I know, thank you for telling the second master, the previous time that Sister-in-law Lan also helped me properly deal with the affairs of Xizi's family, I want to go to the mountain to visit Sister-in-law Lan, and thank you by the way." So I asked a little more just now, and I hope the second master won't be surprised. ”

"Oh, it's not in the way, it's not in the way, hehe!" The second master smiled and shook his head, and soon sighed again, and said: "I also regret the affairs of Xizi's family very much, I think that Xizi and Ma Hanbiao had such a fierce quarrel, if they were allowed to go with the flow at that time, they didn't care whether they gathered or dispersed, presumably Xizi would not have lived so miserable and painful, she and Ma Liu should indeed be together, but now that it's so much trouble, I don't want to care about their affairs anymore, see Xizi make up her own mind, if she really lets go of this grievance, and then comes together with Ma Liu, I don't think the villagers will object, after all, Ma Hanbiao has passed away for so long, and it is not easy for her to be a woman. ”

For these, the master just listened quietly, and there was nothing superfluous to say, after all, he was helpless because of the mess of grievances and hatreds in the Xizi family, and the master didn't want to pay more attention to these worldly loves and hatreds.

Seeing that I had eaten a full meal, the master stood up, hugged his fist and saluted the second master, and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, we still have to hurry, so we will leave." ”
