The people who burned the paper over there, as soon as they heard this sound, they all ran back, and when they arrived at the rice field, the master asked if they were all back, Li Jin asked everyone to report the number, seven people, Li Jin said to the master in horror: "Daoist Chen, why is there one more." ”

Now the night is thick, there is only a big fire next to it, it is difficult to see who is more, a few people standing on the edge of the rice field at a loss, the master said: "Don't be afraid, you all go to the fire, make a small fire, everyone jumps over." ”

Li Jin asked everyone to do so, and after jumping over the fire, he sat around the fire and found that there were only six people. Li Jin looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It is estimated that it was the king who deliberately scared us." ”

Then say to the others, "Don't be scary, people are scary, people are scared to death." ”

The rest of the people vigorously denied that they did not pretend to be ghosts, and they did not overreport.

At this moment, there was a coughing sound in the room over there, as if there was someone in those rooms.

The people at the fire looked at each other, and everyone was back.

The master said, "Don't be afraid, everyone is young, the fire is strong, it's okay." Then he asked Li Jin if there was paper burning in front of every house.

Li Jin said that it was all burned, but some of the incense has not been lit yet. The master looked at the houses, and I also looked at them, and they were still burning in front of the doors, or they were blazing, and they were all black holes.

I asked the master, "Do you want to wipe your eyes with willow leaves?" ”

The master shook his head and said, "I guess you will be scared to death if you wipe your eyes, you don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this side in the dark." ”

Then the master told everyone not to stare at those houses, pretending not to encounter this, and then asked them to line up the remaining burning paper along the side of the rice field, in front of the houses, and set it all on fire. Then put all the remaining incense on the side of the burning paper and light it.

The master took the incense in his hand, bowed three times and bowed nine times to the other side, and said, "There is a lot of disturbance, please make it convenient." After all, dust to dust, dust to dust, no longer disturb each other in the future. ”

But when I stood behind, I couldn't help but tell the master, "The remaining two lanterns are out." ”

At this time, my cousin also rushed back with someone and said, "We shouted in front of us that it was okay, and we shouted in the back, and suddenly many people agreed, and said that I was here." But it was all thatch, and the voice didn't sound like a living person, but like an animal imitating a man. We were all scared and couldn't help but run back. As soon as he ran, those Kong Ming lanterns were blown out by the wind. ”

The master saw that they were holding tattered Kong Ming lanterns in their hands, and sighed and said, "These things really don't know how to lift. ”

The master asked his cousin to paste the Kong Ming lantern again, and draw a charm, and put it on the rice field, and then let the rest of the people stand next to the burning paper and scold at the house, to the effect that if you give you paper money, you don't appreciate it, and you are not willing to release people.

The master said: "It is estimated that in the past half a day, the remaining two people have not returned their souls, and they may have been left behind by the surrounding lonely souls and wild ghosts, and they will not be let go." "The master asked me to play his role, light the lantern, and continue to shout the spirits, and my cousin followed behind and rang the bell, and he was going to go into the house to meet the ghosts.

The master stepped over the burning paper, carried the sword, took the flashlight, walked directly to the door of the house, stepped on the burning paper, kicked the door open, put the sword on the side of the door and knocked a few times, and asked, "Which one dares to make a mistake?" Then he walked to the second house.

At this time, I felt that the master was like a god descending from heaven, and these wild ghosts did not dare to be presumptuous at all.

The people standing next to the burning paper here saw that the master was majestic, passing through every house, but there was nothing at all, and they were even more scolded.

After a while, the two outsiders finally woke up. They fed them water and carried them to the fire.

At this time, the master also came back and said, "Those unjust souls have been suppressed by me for the time being, and now we are ready to go down the mountain." ”

So we packed up our things and saw that the burned paper was almost burned, and it would not cause a fire to burn the mountain.

Because the mountain road was narrow, the master made us walk in a row, all holding flashlights. Those three weak people let everyone take turns to carry them.

Before leaving, the master explained: no matter what happens, don't look back, the fire on your shoulder can't be extinguished, and when you pass by the river in front, no matter what sound there is in the river, don't go into the water. On the way, when taking turns to change people's backs, the person in front can only hand it to the person behind to carry it, and you can't turn back during the exchange process.

So my cousin led the way, and the second, third, and fourth people carried it first, and when it was time to change, they handed it over to the fifth, sixth, and seventh people to carry it. I don't have to carry it with the master, I walk in the penultimate and the master is at the back.

So everyone along the path, began to walk back, I always felt that there were footsteps behind the master, but the master said that he was not allowed to turn back, just a few steps, I felt that something was still a stone towards our team, the master said don't care, go quickly, fortunately, these ghosts seem to be really afraid of the master, and there has been no stone thrown at me. On the contrary, from time to time, someone in front of him was hit by a stone and made an oops.

Suddenly, there was a voice from behind that that that was like us shouting souls, shouting the names of Zhang Jian and the three of them, and I got goosebumps when I heard it. The master coughed a few times, but there was no sound behind him.

When they finally arrived at the river, the whole team relaxed a lot.

People started chatting and said that the master was amazing. At this time, there was a plopping sound in the river, as if there was a big fish coming out of the water, and someone said in front that we should catch a few fish and eat them tomorrow to make up for it. The master shouted to the front, I'm afraid you didn't make up for something else.

Someone shines a flashlight at the water, and there is nothing.

Someone in front of me asked, "Daoist Chen, what is in this water?" ”

The master replied: "It's not a good thing anyway, it may be a water monkey, or it may be something else, anyway, stability is a dirty thing." ”

When I was about to cross the river, one of the outsiders suddenly said, "Why do people always blow in my ears?" It's so itchy. ”

As he spoke, he forgot his master's instructions, turned around, and asked, "Old Taoist, what's going on?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he was so frightened that he fell off the man who carried him.

The master hurriedly shone a flashlight into his eyes and shouted, "Don't look behind." ”

The two people in front of him helped him up and continued to walk forward.

When we were about to cross the river, the master asked the team to stop, and then he took me to the front, stood by the river, and then started with my cousin at the front, with a bronze sword, leaning on the front chest and back, and then crossed the river. Finally crossed the river one by one.

In this way, he did it to me again, and let me cross the river too.

After crossing the river, walking for half an hour, it was Liwan, and it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and there were waiting relatives of Zhang Wan, who had already set up a temporary stove in Liwan, and made a few tables of dishes together, and when they saw us coming back, they were busy pouring water and letting us have some food.

At this time, the master hurriedly found his cousin and asked him to quickly prepare a bathing barrel and boil water with peach wood, and he wanted to take a bath.

My cousin said why are you in such a hurry to take a bath, isn't there a wound on my back, and I am not going to die of pain when I see the water.

The master was just about to continue, when he suddenly felt no strength and fainted.

When my cousin saw it, he hurriedly arranged for someone to find peach firewood and boil water.

At this time, the three people were basically sober, and they asked the outsider what he saw, and he was scared like that, and the outsider said that he saw a person behind Daoist Chen.

On the way, the master kept using his sword on both sides of me to help me block the thatch to clear the way, maybe because of this, everyone was stoned, but I didn't. Uncle Cousin told that outsider not to talk nonsense, Daoist Chen is so powerful, how can there be any ghost on his back.

One hour, when the water was boiling, several people stripped the master of the essence, and then lifted it up and put it into the wooden bucket of water, and I looked at the shoulders behind the master, and there were indeed two palm prints. As soon as the master entered the water, the wound on his back should have been a sharp pain, which woke him up.

Uncle Cousin whispered to the master: "That outsider just now saw a person behind you." ”

The master smiled and said, "I feel it, after all, I am old, and the sun burned too much during the day yesterday, and then I endured to deter those unjust ghosts." At that time, I felt that the yang energy in my body was very weak, so I told everyone to hurry up. On the way, although I knew that he was behind me, I could only pretend that I didn't know, and it was not good to stab him with a sword, in case it really provoked, it would be difficult for us to come back. ”

Uncle Cousin asked, "Is that thing gone now?" ”

The master smiled: "When I crossed the river, that thing didn't dare to follow me." ”

My cousin helped the master wipe his back, and the master grinned in pain, and I was in front of the tube, with tears in my eyes.

The master looked at me and said with a smile: "It's okay, do you still want to be a Taoist priest in the future?" Being a Taoist priest is hard work, dealing with these dirty things every day. ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm going to be a powerful Taoist priest." ”

The master smiled and didn't speak again, just touched my head.
