On the way back, I felt like I had lost my soul, my heart was in a mess, and my whole person was shrouded in a shadow of fear and confusion.

Is Xiao Wanqing a human or a ghost?

And the words in the words of the one-eyed old man, he said that Master is not a good person and wants to harm me.

When my thoughts turned to this, I suddenly realized that I didn't know anything about Master's past, only that he was called He Yingqiu, who had been a Taoist priest when he was young, and then somehow returned to the world.

Master has a strange temper, and some of his behaviors are even more strange, no matter how hot the day or winter, he always wears a long gown. Every once in a while, Master would go out at an indefinite time, but he would never reveal what he was going to do. I asked, but Master was also silent.

I always feel that Master has something hidden from me, could it be that Master really has some ulterior secrets?

Thinking of this, I slapped myself hard. Master gave me food, gave me shelter, taught me skills, and raised me, but I actually doubted him for the sake of outsiders' words, if Master wanted to harm me, why should he save me?

When I got back to the shop, it was getting dark, and Master was already impatient with waiting, so he asked me to bleed the big and splash it on the doors, windows, and walls of the room, so that no one could miss it. In the room, in addition to the large bed, the floor is covered with old rice.

Master asked me to sleep in this room and told me not to open my eyes after twelve o'clock, no matter what I heard.

I was originally skeptical about these things, but after experiencing this incident, I believe it completely, and now, I can't fall short, only to do a full set of plays, and take the master as the leader.

That night, I slept in that room as Master told me. To be honest, how can you sleep in that environment. The whole night was thinking nonsense with my eyes closed, and I fell asleep very late, and I heard a strange sound around me when I was half asleep and half awake, and when I listened carefully, it was the cry of a child, and the crying was a terrible heartbreak.

Several times I wanted to open my eyes to see what was going on, but when I remembered Master's advice, I closed my eyes and ignored it.

When I woke up the next day, the sight in the room almost didn't scare me.

I saw small charred footprints on the rice on the ground.

The windows and doors were covered with bloody handprints, densely mottled and mottled, like a bear child with his hands dipped in dye everywhere, and given that it was bright red, it was easy for me to think of those who were burned by the fire, struggling and beating.

Master saw it and told me, "If you are lucky, a little life will be picked up."

He explained that he used a method of shutting the door and beating the dogs, first letting me be bait to attract imps, but I had Zhong Kui on me, and they couldn't do anything about me. When they want to leave, they find that they are in a trap, and there is no way to enter the sky, just like a person who is locked in a gas chamber, and can only watch themselves come to the end of their lives.

I was tempted to tell myself that it was just an illusion, but everything in front of me, the bloody little handprints, was silently telling me that it was all true.

Master called me to me and said earnestly, "Now, these little ghosts have been scattered, and they can't even be ghosts. This method is very damaging to yin morality, and it will cost you your life, but for your sake, you have to do it once. In the future, you must be a good person and not disappoint Master's wishes. ”

When I heard this, I was ashamed and moved. I am ashamed that because of my greed, I caused so many things, and I almost listened to the words of outsiders and doubted my master. Touched by the fact that the master not only did not dislike it, but also sacrificed his life to save him.

I nodded heavily, thinking that Master had treated me like this, and I couldn't hide everything from his old man, so I told him all about what had happened in the old house in the country.

After hearing this, Master's face became heavy, and he looked at me with a torch in his eyes: "Do you think I want to harm you by stabbing Zhong Kui for you?" ”

I hurriedly shook my head, "Of course not!" Master is so good to me, it's too late for me to honor your old man, how can I think you hurt me. ”

Master snorted, obviously having some opinions about me, "Let me tell you, yes, tattooed Zhong Kui will indeed be like what the old gentleman said, when you go to a place with heavy yin qi, people will have abnormal conditions, that is because Zhong Kui is jealous and hateful, and he can't see the charm and ghost." But Zhong Kui is a righteous god, he will not harm people, as the so-called body is not afraid of shadows, you are a bright and upright person, and ghosts and gods cannot harm you. The reason why you got into trouble with the imp was entirely because you were greedy and took the woman's money to buy her life. ”

I stuck out my tongue, "Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong. This time, it is up to Master to pick up a small life. Apprentice, go down and buy some supper, the second pot head you like, and repay the master well. ”

Master was amused by me, "You, you know how to behave." Next time, don't cause trouble outside, and let me wipe my ass again, and I'll burn high incense. ”

I was just about to go out when I suddenly thought about something, "By the way, but what's the matter with the statue in that old house?" Could it be that Xiao Wanqing is a ghost? Or have they set a trap to drive a wedge between our master and apprentice? ”

"Well...... I can't figure it out either. Master groaned, touching his mustache with his fingers. This is his small action, and he will unconsciously touch his beard when he thinks about things.

"Oops." Master's face suddenly changed, and he rushed into the room.

I knew that something was wrong, so I hurriedly followed in, only to see the master rubbing the chicken blood on the wall with his hand, putting it on his nose and smelling it, and his brows were furrowed. Walked around the room, and finally stopped in front of the window, staring motionless at a hole in the glass window.

"What's wrong?"

The master sighed: "Thousands of calculations, there is a problem with this chicken blood, and one of the five imps escaped." ”

I gasped, my eyes widening.

These five little imps have grown up together, like brothers, and now that we have used such a vicious and evil way to kill them all, his hatred for me can be imagined. Although I have Zhong Kui's protection, but things have developed to this point, and I am already dying, how will the escaped little ghost retaliate against me? I shudder to think about it.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Anyway, it's all this field, so let's just don't do it, let's start first and destroy that little ghost." ”

Master glanced at me and said with a smile, "I've finally made progress, and I'm not as flustered as last time." However, to fight with ghosts, you must not only have courage, but also brains. Although the little ghost escaped, he was also very injured, and he couldn't hurt anyone for a while, and the most important thing now was to find out who was doing the ghost. Prepare, let's go meet that old gentleman tonight. ”

Just one day later, I still remember the location of the old woman's home.

The door of the old house was closed, and I called a few times but no one answered. With a push of his hand, the door opened, and it turned out to be just a cover-up.

I was surprised and was about to go in. Master stopped me and said in a low voice, "Wait, it seems that they have already guessed that we will come to the door, in this case, it is likely that there is a trap inside." ”

After listening, I shrank back again, "But... You can't just go home, right? ”

"Of course not, but be prepared." As he spoke, Master took out a cigarette from his bosom, threw it to me, and asked an irrelevant question, "Do you smoke?" ”

"Get me one." Actually, I don't smoke on weekdays, so I asked Master for one when I was upset, and when I smoked, I choked and coughed......

Master had already entered the door and urged me to follow.

As soon as I entered, I sneezed several times for no apparent reason. Master had already explained to me before that this was because the Zhong Kui I was carrying would have abnormal physical reactions as soon as I reached a place where the yin qi was heavy.

I suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, the old house was empty, and all that remained was the mourning hall in the hall, with white curtains fluttering, candles blazing, and a huge black coffin parked in the middle.

The black-and-white posthumous photographs are gone, and there are a few more murals on the walls.

The mural depicts a group of ancient people, both men and women, with a calm demeanor and fluttering clothes, like a fairy among the gods, slowly walking on the winding covered bridge, as if to welcome something. The mural is cloudy and misty above, and the lotus flowers are clustered below, full of fairy spirit. The figures in the painting are lifelike, as if you can hear the sound of people in scarred clothes and touching each other.

The scene depicted in the mural is lively and solemn, but in this mourning hall, it seems indescribably mysterious and gloomy.

"Teacher......" I was so frightened that I only shivered.

Master made a gesture of boos.

In the silence, only the sound of dripping water was heard.

Blood oozed from the heavy coffin, and drops fell from the gaps in the edges......
