The old lady tilted her head and gently pestled her cane to the ground, "You really want to know my secret?" ”

"Uh-huh."

Wang Tao stared at her eyes with a strange expression, and subconsciously nodded.

The old lady laughed dryly, still showing two protruding teeth: "The reason why I can see through the secrets of your heart is because I can manipulate everyone's dreams at will.

You know, people can be tough in the real world, and they can also open their eyes and talk nonsense when they are awake.

But once they fall into the dream I have arranged, they will have to be taken and slaughtered by me.

Not to mention that it is easy to see through that little secret in your heart, even if I let you die, you have to do it obediently. ”

Speaking of this, she squinted her wrinkled and narrow eyes slyly: "How is it?" Would you be interested in learning from me how to control your dreams? ”

Looking at the mess on the ground and frowning, he had just walked a few steps, and suddenly found the personal talisman that he gave to the little doll seven years ago in the garbage on the ground.

With a solemn face, he picked up the spirit rune and handed it to Wang Changshan, "Didn't I tell you again and again, don't let this spirit rune leave your son's body?" How can you be so careless. ”

Wang Changshan's face turned blue and red for a while, obviously he didn't know when his son secretly threw the spirit rune to the ground.

Ma Laohan also knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't dare to dwell on this topic, so he went straight into the house and came to the little doll who had swallowed his breath, first sealed several key acupuncture points with four silver needles, and then took out three spiritual runes from his arms, and stuck them on the little doll's forehead while chanting a mantra.

Instructed Wang Changshan to quickly get a paper figure, and then Ma Laohan set up a spirit banner in the courtyard, and kept walking around it with his feet.

It wasn't until Wang Changshan got the paper man back according to Ma Laohan's instructions that Ma Laohan stopped, pasted the three spiritual runes on the paper man's forehead and shoulders in turn, and wrote and pasted the eight characters of the child's birthday.

In the end, after some extremely complicated practices and a simple burning of the paper figure, the little doll actually came to life magically.

The child not only came back to life, but was able to speak, which really shocked the surrounding villagers, and they suddenly had a new understanding of Ma Laohan: I didn't expect that this seemingly crazy old man was really an old god who knew magic!

Although Wang Changshan said that his wife died, his son picked up a life, maybe this is called mixed happiness.

The villagers thought that this matter was over, but who knew that the next morning, Wang Changshan had strangely hanged himself on the only big locust tree in his yard.

His death was a strange thing, with wide eyes and a long tongue, but there was always a creepy smile on his face.

It's just a few days, Wang Changshan and his wife died for no reason because of their precious son.

For a while, there were different opinions and gossip.

The villagers talk about something similar, that is, they think that Xiao Wang Tao is an unlucky species, and whoever gets close to him will be unlucky, and his parents are the best example of this.

Therefore, these villagers look at their children firmly, and they dare not let them go to Xiao Wang Tao to play, for fear of causing some unnecessary trouble.

Although the villagers have a lot of complaints about Xiao Wang Tao, but now that Wang Changshan and his wife are dead, the villagers decided to bury him and his wife in pity.

A few days later, everyone hastily arranged a funeral for Wang Changshan and his wife, but on the day of the funeral, another strange thing happened.

Because no matter how many people came to help the coffins of the two elders, they couldn't lift them.

Everyone felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly invited Ma Laohan to help.

As soon as Ma Laohan came, he opened the coffin board and saw that the deceased had all died with their eyes open, saying that it was caused by his attachment to his young son.

So he called Xiao Wang Tao and asked him to keep saying good things about his deceased father and mother, until there were faint tears in the corners of the dead body's eyes, and Ma Laohan let the coffin be closed again.

It was originally a big funeral, but Xiao Wang Tao did not shed a single tear, and he always had a faint smile on his face.

His own parents died, and instead of shedding a tear, he laughed, could it be that his parents had raised him so much

Xiao Wang Tao's behavior was too abnormal, so the villagers were very dissatisfied, but for the sake of thinking that it was the day of his parents' funeral, the villagers had to suppress the anger in their hearts and ignore it for the time being.

Although the villagers didn't say anything, they beat drums in their hearts at the same time, and their hearts said: This kid is either too cold-blooded and ruthless, or he is the reincarnation of a disaster star. Either way, the villagers could hardly accept that he should remain in the village.

In the eyes of the villagers, Xiao Wang Tao must be an ominous person, with him in the village, who knows if he will bring any disasters out of thin air in the future?

Just when the villagers began to think about when to kick Xiao Wang Tao out of the village, Ma Laohan seemed to see through their thoughts, and even took the initiative to say that he would take Xiao Wang Tao to leave the village immediately after the funeral, so that they didn't have to worry about it.

Then he brought up the matter of giving him a personal talisman

Xiao Wang Tao was convinced when he heard this, and kept this matter firmly in his heart, so he let Ma Laohan take him away from his hometown where he had lived for seven years and went all the way to the strange north.

Since leaving Taolin Village, the old and the young have walked for more than half a month, sleeping in the open every day, wearing the stars and the moon, even if they rush day and night, but they still have not reached the northern border.

At this time, it happens to be the rainy season again, and once it rains, it will be endless, which can be bitter for Ma Laohan and Xiao Wang Tao, two people who are in a hurry.

There was no way, Ma Laohan could only lead Xiao Wang Tao to find a nearby village, planning to spend a few days at the villagers' homes, and continue to hurry when the weather was clear.

The village where they temporarily lived was called Lijiazhuang, and it is said that all the villagers here have the same surname, hence the name.

This old man was over half a hundred years old, and his beard was white, but he was in good spirits, and he spoke loudly and enthusiastically.

At that time, I heard Ma Laohan say that he would stay at his house for a few days, and the old man readily agreed and warmly entertained them.

Ma Laohan was deeply moved, and felt that it was really too bad to eat and drink for nothing in his house, and besides, as a cultivator, there was no reason to take advantage of others in vain, so even if it was rainy weather, he would follow the old man to the fields to help with the work.

First, because I am not used to the environment here, and second, when I think of the bits and pieces I used to be with my parents, my heart is even more sour and sad.

Even so, Xiao Wang Tao didn't want to be alone in the room, so he simply found a haystack and hid in it to watch the rain

After a while, the rain slowly stopped, and the sky cleared.
