Chapter 37: Master's Promise

After thinking about it, I still couldn't think of a way to deal with this matter properly, so I shook my head, and simply didn't think about it, let's take one step at a time. Even if I was beaten and scolded by the master, I also admitted it, although I knew it was wrong, but I still admired Tao Qiliang's personality, this person is very kind, I can't let his wish be disappointed, and the poor people he wants to help, I also want to help, if it were me, I'm afraid I would do it.

As I hurried, I finally returned to the Peaceful Tavern when it was dark, waved my whisker whip, and jumped up to the corridor on the second floor. I glanced left and right, and found that no one had gotten up yet, so I hurriedly and carefully pushed open the door of Master's room, but just as I was about to close the door after entering the room, Master's voice sounded behind me: "Ergou, where did you run in the middle of the night?" And you haven't come back until now, and besides, why did you take the whisker whip away? ”

When I heard this, my body went limp, and I almost sat down, so I had to honestly close the door and come to Master with my head drooped, and Master was sitting on the edge of the bed with his eyes fixed on me. Seeing that I didn't speak, the master shouted angrily: "Speak! Didn't you hear what the teacher asked you for?! ”

"I heard it......" I pouted, lowered my head, and kept rolling the corners of my clothes with my fingers, like a child who had done something wrong...... "Master, if I say it, can you not scold me?"

The master frowned and said, "Where did you come from such nonsense!" Tell me, where the hell have you been? Why did you come back now, and you actually secretly took away the whisker whip, you are not small! ”

My legs trembled, and I knelt down in front of the master, only to see that the master's face was also trembling, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Say it! ”

"Master, don't worry, here's the thing......" I immediately told Master about the female ghost's theft of property, as well as Tao Qiliang's matter, 1510, and finally I said: "Master, although I also know that Tao Qiliang is wrong to do that, and that female ghost should not help him steal property, let alone dispose of other people's things at will, but I think Tao Qiliang's wish is too great, I have become a beggar, and I have such a great kindness, I, I can't bear to take back those things, I don't want to see those poor people who are being helped still have no ability to live. Master, I know I'm wrong, and if you want to beat or scold, I will admit it. ”

After listening to my heartfelt words, the master was silent for a moment, stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the gradually brighter sky, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "That female ghost really listened to you?" In the future, he will no longer absorb Tao Qiliang's yang energy, nor will he absorb other people's yang energy? Won't you steal again? ”

"Hmm!" I nodded heavily, and emphasized: "Master, that female ghost is actually a good ghost, she wants to help Tao Qiliang revive the family business, and she has no intention of harming Tao Qiliang, I believe her promise will be fulfilled!" ”

Master turned his head to look at me, and said coldly: "Okay, let's go to Tao Qiliang and get rid of that female ghost today, presumably she and you have a word first, so she stayed by Tao Qiliang's side without any scruples, so it is much easier for us to get rid of her." ”

"Huh?" I was stunned all of a sudden, Master, how could this be, I hurriedly interceded for the female ghost: "Master, she is really a good ghost!" You can't do this, it's a big deal to let her leave Tao Qiliang and go back to the underworld, can you not get rid of her? Master, I beg you, I beg you to spare her, Master...... Master...... Woowoo woo ......"

I couldn't bear it for a while, I couldn't help crying, holding Master's legs with both hands, begging bitterly, Master really couldn't let the female ghost in the sun. And Master actually wants to get rid of her, I knew earlier, I knew that I was lying and shouldn't have told Master the truth, I had already promised the female ghost that as long as she did the two things I said, I could let her go, but Master wants to get rid of her now, and I really don't want to break my promise to others again.

Last time I broke my promise to Bai Xuzhang in Miaojiang, I failed to fulfill my promise to save his life, if I broke my promise to that kind female ghost again this time, I really can't stand it.

The master sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Ergou, why are you doing this? People and ghosts have different paths, I don't need to teach you anymore, you know yourself, the female ghost stayed by Tao Qiliang's side, saying that it was to help him, but it just hurt Tao Qiliang, people and ghosts are too close, their own yang energy will gradually become scarce, yin energy will be blazing, and their own luck will gradually decay, speaking of which, Tao Qiliang becomes a beggar, that is, he will never be able to turn over, and it is not unusual, as long as the female ghost does not leave Tao Qiliang, Tao Qiliang will never come out! ”

I hurriedly said, "Master, as long as the female ghost leaves Tao Qiliang, you won't get rid of her, will you?" ”

The master paused and said with a wry smile: "Ergou, do you really believe that the female ghost will leave Tao Qiliang?" Do you really think that there is no such thing as a child affair between them? It's just wishful thinking! To let the female ghost leave Tao Qiliang completely, unless she gets rid of it, there is no second way, and she must not stay with Tao Qiliang anymore, not for a day, people are humane, ghosts have ghost ways, where they should belong, they should go back to where! ”

As soon as I let go of my hands, I was thrown away by the master, who strode to the bed, put on my coat, washed up, and said to me, "Are you still leaving?" ”

"Master......" I looked at Master with a bitter face.

The master shook his head and said helplessly: "If you don't get rid of her, at least you will get a place, let the master see the specific situation, right?" ”

"Really?" I stood up and asked excitedly, "Master, can you really let that female ghost live?" ”

Master stretched out his hand and nodded my forehead, shook his head and sighed: "For the sake of a ghost, you actually cry like that, how can the master accept such an unsuccessful apprentice as you!" If the female ghost is really as kind as you said, she really doesn't have the heart to harm Tao Qiliang, but is just trapped by love, as a teacher can help her exceed and let her reincarnate, but if she has bad intentions to harm Tao Qiliang, she can't be left as a teacher! ”

I nodded again and again and said, "Okay, I'm sure she won't disappoint Master, hehe!" ”

Master snatched back the whisker whip, put it in the yellow cloth bag, glared at me, and said, "Your Taoism is not enough, you must not use this whisker whip again until it is absolutely necessary, otherwise you will have to break your dog's leg as a teacher!" ”

I nodded hurriedly, indicating that I would never steal the whisker again. In this way, Master reluctantly forgave me for my mistake this time, but I have always wondered one thing in my heart, that is, the money, Master only targeted the female ghost, and did not even mention the problem of the money, after all, the money was stolen by the female ghost from the inn, why didn't Master mention this stubble? Could it be that the master also acquiesced in Tao Qiliang's kindness in helping the poor?

But I didn't dare to ask any more, Master had just turned over this stubble, and if I mentioned it again, I would be scolded again, and maybe he would beat me......

As soon as we walked out of the door, we saw Mr. Tao Shangqian rushing out of the door in a hurry, and when he saw our master and apprentice, he immediately sighed and asked the master, "Mr. Yang, did you lose any belongings last night?" ”

The master was stunned and said, "Mr. Tao, our master and apprentice are all cultivators, and we rarely bring money with us, and we are reluctant to live in the hotel this time, so we don't have any property to lose." Could it be that Mr. Tao lost some of his belongings? ”

"Yes, yes!" Tao Shangqian patted his thigh and said angrily: "Tao went out this time to do fortune and read feng shui by the way, which can be regarded as a small profit, who would have thought that after sleeping last night until now, my burden of wealth is gone!" Tell me about it...... If you want to say that this peaceful tavern, I must come to eat or stay every time I pass by, and it is not a black shop, but why did you attract a thief! ”
