What did Sister-in-law Lan and Kiko say, so that Kiko's temperament changed greatly, and it seemed that the knot in her heart was also opened. I don't understand, maybe I also know very little about worldly things, since I was a child, I was carefree under the care of my grandfather, and after my grandfather died, I worshipped my master, and followed my master to go north and south, and all I came into contact with were some bizarre ghost and god worlds, and the ordinary life of the world seemed to be getting farther and farther away from me.

Also, what kind of contract did Sister-in-law Lan sign with that evil ghost? How did she convince the demon to make a contract with her? All of this made me very curious and confused.

The impression that Sister-in-law Lan gave me was not only mysterious, but also mysterious. But she is still the descendant of Long Po after all, what kind of person is Long Po, the generation of Gu masters back then, the Long Po who should have been the great sacrifice of Phoenix Ridge...... As the only descendant of Long Po, whether it is talent or Taoism, it will naturally not be far behind.

After leaving the second master's house, Master and I rushed directly to the west, and the southwest direction was the road into Phoenix Ridge, but we bypassed. Now although we are also anxious to find Ma Xian Granny to solve the Gu for me, but it is also very important to find the successor of Long Po, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, if it weren't for the guidance of the evil ghost before, Master and I may have found some water to rest and went directly to Phoenix Ridge. You won't come to this village.

was led down to this village by the evil ghost, and happened to meet Sister-in-law Lan, the descendant of Long Po. This saved us a lot of miles and helped us a lot for the purpose of our trip.

Maybe Long Po has a spirit in the sky and is silently blessing us with all the best.

About an hour later, we saw in the distance a barren slope not far away, there was a small mansion, which looked deep and quiet. There is nothing but desolate valleys and steep mountains nearby, and living here is a paradise without any quarrel. Speaking of which, this sister-in-law Lan really knows how to choose a place.

When I came to this mansion, I was about to knock on the door, but when I saw that the door was not closed, but a crack in the door was slightly staggered. ”

Master frowned and said, "Could it be that she already expected us to visit?" ”

In this way, Master and I pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard. In this courtyard, there is a large medicine garden on the east side, and a lush bamboo forest on the west side, and the whole courtyard gives people a neat and quiet atmosphere. Walking in the meantime, people can't help but feel respectful, for fear of stepping on the wrong place. I also saw those battles of Long Po last time, and as the successor of Long Po, how dare I be careless.

The courtyard is wide, and the houses are tall and deep, because there are five or six rooms in a row, and it seems that there are many suites among them, and when you look closer, it seems to be a labyrinth.

People can't help but feel a little weird atmosphere, and Sister-in-law Lan lives here alone, why did she build so many deep inner rooms?

However, when I think of the cave in Long Po, I remember that there are also large and small caves inside, maybe these inner rooms are separated from each other, and they are also related to Gu refining. The so-called classification must be due to the fact that all kinds of Gu poisons are different and cannot be in the same room. But these rooms were enough to daunt me, let alone let me see any more terrible Gu poisons.

When I think about it, I just feel uncomfortable.

In the deep house, only one of them was lit with a withered yellow oil lamp, but the light of the lamp reflected the row of houses outside, and Master and I walked to the door of the room with the light on, and Master stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. The so-called knock on the door, is to bend the five fingers, gently knock on the door, this is the correct number of knocks on the door, those who know the number of etiquette use knocking, and those who do not pass the number of etiquette will wave their hands and slap or even smash their fists.

After a while, a voice came from inside: "Daoist Yang, please come in and speak." ”

I was stunned, Sister-in-law Lan really knew that Master would come to visit, and before she saw us, she already knew who we were. Master pushed open the door, I took a look inside, in this living room, there is an antique smell, furniture, decoration, are very elegant, but I can't see at all, this has nothing to do with the terrible cave of Long Po.

In my impression, shouldn't the Gu Master's room be all bottles and cans, or a foul and unpleasant smell?

But this sister-in-law Lan's room is just a little neater and simpler than ordinary people's, nothing else, and there is no trace of Gu refining at all. This surprised me.

Sister-in-law Lan smiled and got up to greet her: "I didn't expect Yang Daochang to come here, and I thought that Yang Daochang would not come until tomorrow during the day." Have a seat. ”

"Thank you." The master hugged his fists and saluted, and then sat down opposite Sister-in-law Lan, who got up and poured tea for Master and me, and then sat down opposite.

Looking at the master and then at me, Sister-in-law Lan smiled and said, "Does Daoist Yang want to know how I can resolve the matter of the Xizi family?" That's why you came to the cold house? ”

The master smiled slightly and said, "That incident has already passed, since Yang believes that Sister-in-law Lan can properly resolve it, naturally there will be no more troubles." Speaking of which, one of the purposes of our master's and apprentice's trip to Phoenix Ridge is to find Sister-in-law Lan and entrust you with two very valuable things. ”

"Oh?" Sister-in-law Lan didn't seem to think of this, and asked with a slight surprise: "But I don't know who entrusted it?" It is really strange to be able to have the famous Maoshan Tantric Master Yang Daochang personally send the cold house...... Hehe! ”

The master didn't beat around the bush, nodded immediately, and looked at me: "Ergou, give the burden to Sister-in-law Lan." ”

Hearing this, I immediately got up, took off the cloth bag I was carrying on my body, which contained the mantle of Long Po and the jar of Long Po's ashes, walked slowly to Sister-in-law Lan, put my hands into Sister-in-law Lan's hands, and when I turned around, the master opened his mouth again: "Yang was entrusted by Mrs. Long to hand over these two things to Sister-in-law Lan's hands. As for the relationship between Sister-in-law Lan and Long Po, Long Po has already informed Yang. All of this, let's wait for Sister-in-law Lan to finish reading the things inside, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Hearing the word "Long Po", Sister-in-law Lan's face suddenly changed, her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the cloth bag on the ground, but fortunately, she hugged the cloth bag tightly, and then, with trembling fingers, opened it little by little, and at the same time, I clearly saw that she was holding back the tears dripping down. But her ruddy eyes speak for themselves.

When she saw Long Po's mantle and the urn, Sister-in-law Lan's emotions were no longer controllable, and she immediately hugged two things and buried her head and cried. Master and I looked at each other awkwardly, and each took a cup of tea.

After a long time, Sister-in-law Lan recovered from her out-of-control emotions, carefully placed the sandalwood box containing the mantle of Long Po on the table beside her, and then stroked the jar containing the ashes with her fingers trembling violently. Sister-in-law Lan's hand was about to open the sealed lid, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't open it, and she asked in a deep voice, "Daoist Yang, can you tell me how the family teacher died?!" ”

The master sighed deeply and said, "Long Po asked, you can see the reason when you open it. ”

Hearing Master's words, Sister-in-law Lan gritted her teeth vigorously, hurriedly unsealed the seal, and then lifted the mouth of the altar. When a small section of bone joints covered with black spots appeared in front of Sister-in-law Lan's eyes, Sister-in-law Lan suddenly blurted out: "Yes, it's Heart-Eating Gu!" ”

Sure enough, sure enough, the black spot was the trace of the Heart Devouring Gu, Sister-in-law Lan stared at the ashes for a long time, and her tears flowed for a long time before she slowly sealed the urn, and then, Sister-in-law Lan stood up and said angrily: "Ma Xian!" I used to tolerate you because I respected you as an elder, but now, I, Shi Lan, are inseparable from you! The revenge of the family teacher, I Shi Lan will revenge! ”

It seems that Long Po still underestimated her as a successor, originally I also thought that Shi Lan should have any master-apprentice feelings for Long Po, but how do I know that Shi Lan actually has such a strong master-apprentice friendship with Long Po. After venting, between Shi Lan's eyebrows, there was no longer any gentleness, she suddenly turned to stare at the master, and asked, "I don't know why Daoist Yang came to Phoenix Ridge?" ”

The master thought for a while and said: "Our master and apprentice are also here for the Ma Xian mother-in-law, and I won't tell you that in order to let Yang send a message to you, Long Po also gave the apprentice the Gu poison of the Heart-devouring Gu, and we must find the Ma Xian mother-in-law to solve the Gu and live." ”

When Sister-in-law Lan heard this, she suddenly stared at me tightly and said, "Oh? You also fell for the Heart Devouring Gu? Hehe, speaking of which, this is also the style of the family teacher, and with Yang Daochang's ability, it is not something that anyone can instruct to move, so that Yang Daochang can come to deliver the message so tirelessly, I'm afraid the family teacher also took a lot of effort, right? ”

The master sighed lightly and said, "It is indeed a life of nine deaths...... However, if we can smoothly hand over these two things to Sister-in-law Lan, our master-apprentice task is half completed. ”

Sister-in-law Lan frowned and asked again, "But I don't know what other purpose Daoist Yang has for this trip?" If you just sent a message, I wouldn't believe it, because you are the Maoshan Sect Tantric Master! ”

The master smiled bitterly: "Even if it's just a message, there's nothing wrong with it. However, our master and apprentice do have another very important thing, that is, the divine cave where Ma Xian's mother-in-law is located, the most sacred place in Phoenix Ridge, and also a place to worship the gods. It is said that in the cave of the gods, a secret treasure has been collected recently, and we are here for that secret treasure, but presumably the Ma Xian mother-in-law will not let us in easily, right? ”

Sister-in-law Lan couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "Yang Daochang is really joking, what a sacred place the Divine Cave is, don't say that Yang Daochang is an outsider, even if the patriarchs of the major villages in Phoenix Ridge want to enter, they have to agree to it." It seems that we all have a common enemy, and that is Ma Xian! ”

Master suddenly waved his hand, shook his head and said: "No, Sister-in-law Lan is wrong, although our targets are all the Ma Xian mother-in-law, but for us, Ma Xian mother-in-law is not our enemy, and we have no grudges with her, you are different, you and Ma Xian mother-in-law have a grudge against the teacher, although our goals are the same, but the essence is still different, I just need Ma Xian mother-in-law a bowl of raw blood to solve the heart-devouring Gu poison on the apprentice's body, and enter the god cave to take a look, that's it, as for your revenge, it doesn't matter if you don't take revenge, Yang can't help!" ”
