Lu Shengcai and I planned to return the same way, but after walking for a long time, we couldn't find the miasma of fog we encountered before.

There was no fog to make road signs, we could not find the way we came, we could only follow the river all the way down the mountain, and finally found the mountain road two hours later, and then found the boundary marker along the mountain road, and then followed the road we walked up the mountain back to the mountain gate courtyard.

The next day, before there was a ray of light, Master came to the guest room and quietly woke me up.

When I opened my eyes, I heard a long sound of pulling the bellows from the kitchen, and I knew that Uncle Shi was still cooking on the fire, and I probably didn't see Master come in.

Then I sat up, the bed slats under me were a few years old, and as soon as I moved, the slats would make a very sharp noise, and even though I was careful enough, I couldn't completely avoid the noise.

The bed board just made a soft sound of "squeak-yah-" Lu Shengcai was instantly awakened, and a spirit crawled up from the bed.

It's weird, this kid sleeps like a dead dog on weekdays, why is he so alert today?

It was only when he got up from the bed that I noticed that he was sweating a lot, and his collar was almost soaked with sweat.

The master stared at Lu Shengcai for a moment, and his brows gradually twisted into pimples: "You two went up the mountain yesterday, did you hit something?" ”

The words were said to me, but through the seams of the sunglasses, I saw that Master's eyes were still locked on Lu Shengcai.

Lu Shengcai was obviously a little confused, and then he sat on the head of the bed again and started to stupefire, while I recounted to the master what I had seen and heard last night, the content was as detailed as possible, and the words were as concise as possible.

It wasn't until I finished speaking that Master turned his face to me, "Did you feel anything strange when you left the river?" Do you have...... How does it feel like the altar being hit by evil spirits? ”

"Nope."

Hearing my answer, Master frowned at first, but then he smiled in surprise.

Seeing the change in Master's expression in the two heavens of ice and fire, I felt a cold feeling in my heart for no reason: "Master, am I ...... What's the problem? ”

"It's hard to say right now." The master responded briefly, and then took out an egg-sized thing from the leather bag he was carrying, and threw it at Lu Shengcai.

At that time, Lu Shengcai's whole person was in a state of confusion, but he still instinctively reached out quickly and caught what my master threw at him.

Lu Shengcai held the thing in his hand and continued to be stunned.

It was only then that I saw clearly that the thing in his hand was a bronze hollow lamp, which was engraved with the pattern of the Nine Dragons fighting for pearls, and there was no core in the lamp, only a piece of beeswax was inlaid at the bottom of the lamp.

At this moment, the master suddenly shouted at Lu Shengcai: "Lu Shengcai, stare at the things in your hand!" ”

Lu Shengcai moved his eyes in a daze, and it took a long time to cast his gaze on the palm of his hand.

As soon as his gaze came into contact with the hollow lamp, the nine green dragons engraved on the lamp suddenly writhed as if they were alive.

I was shocked, and hurriedly leaned over to Lu Shengcai's side to take a closer look at the things in his hand.

Only then did I understand that it was not the dragons that lived, but the spiritual rhymes that flowed out of these dragons, which flowed down the dragon pattern, flowed into the beeswax, and slowly overflowed from the bottom of the beeswax, and finally flowed into Lu Shengcai's meridians.

Nourished by this spiritual charm, Lu Shengcai's complexion suddenly improved a lot, and his eyes were no longer so wooden.

I pointed to the things in Lu Shengcai's hand and asked Master, "What is this?" ”

The master explained: "The furnace of the demon refining furnace, this is the kid surnamed Lu who Qiao Laosan made a special trip to help. In the future, when he follows you, he will inevitably have to come into contact with the evil spirit, and with this thing, at least he can protect him from being invaded by the evil spirit. ”

"Master, otherwise, let's let Lu Shengcai go back to his hometown. He didn't cultivate, and if he always followed me like this in the future, I might not be able to protect him every time. ”

"Don't underestimate these thieves, it's really hard to say which of the two of you will protect whom in the future. Let's not talk about him for now, Xiaodong, let me ask you, what is the purpose of you deliberately getting into a relationship with Chu Ziyu? ”

"On the one hand, I asked him to be my eyeliner and help me explore the situation in Banshan Hall. On the other hand, I also want to see what kind of masterpieces the earth sect has. ”

Hearing me say this, Master was happy: "You want to master the mastery of the Earth Sect, right?" ”

Sure enough, I still can't hide it from Master.

Since the master has debunked me, I can only tell the truth: "Master, I just want to see if the mastery of the earth sect can be corrected with the mastery of our human sect, and compare and compare the two masters, maybe there will be unexpected gains." ”

Master nodded: "Your idea is very good. Anyway, when Xiaolongtan split up, it didn't say that the masterpieces of the various sects could not be passed on to each other, but the masterpieces of the two sects of heaven and earth could be learned by our human sects, but they couldn't learn the masterpieces of our human sects. Oh, by the way, the haunting of the dumb ditch, you have time to find out about it. ”

At this time, Lu Shengcai had completely come to his senses, and he leaned his head and shouted at my master: "Grandpa Du, why don't you go by yourself?" ”

Yo, the young man has a long ability? I dare to yell at my master.

My master squinted his eyes suddenly, and the pair of ghostly eyes crossed the seams of the sunglasses and fell on Lu Shengcai's face impartially.

Lu Shengcai was instantly beaten back to his original form: "I am ...... Just ask this casually, don't take it to heart. ”

The upper lip trembled as he spoke.

I really can't figure out why he is so afraid of my master.

My master didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, but turned his face to me and said, "I can't get out of my body recently, you can help me investigate the dumb ditch." But there's no hurry, you just need to make a trip before the end of the fourth month of the lunar calendar. ”

"Master, how long are we going to stay here?"

"A year at least, a year and a half at most, in short, it won't delay you from going to high school."

Lu Shengcai interjected: "I don't have to go to high school, right?" You see, I can't study well anyway, and it doesn't make a difference whether I go to school or not. ”

The master immediately shook his eyes over: "I can't help you!" You have to finish high school, and if you can't pass the university, that's your own business. During high school, I didn't have any requirements for you in other subjects, but you had to learn English for me! ”

"Huh? Why is it necessary to learn English well? ”

"There is no why!"

I now kind of understand why Lu Shengcai is afraid of my master, Master's attitude towards me and towards him is basically a heaven holding and an underground step.

Seriously, I think it's a bit unfair to Lu Shengcai.

It wasn't until I was older that I realized that the reason why Master treated Lu Shengcai like this was not because he didn't want to see Lu Shengcai, on the contrary, he did it for the sake of Lu Shengcai's future.

Lu Shengcai's thief spirit is too heavy, and it will be easy to go the wrong way in the future, and now someone must calm him and set up rules for him to ensure that he will not be lost in the future.
