Chapter 63: Walking at Night
Hearing me say this, Lu Shengcai suddenly became interested: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Don't ask yet, it's boring to ask."
After that, I set the alarm clock and picked up a workbook to study.
Lu Shengcai couldn't help muttering: "What kind of hard work are you doing, you have dropped out of school anyway." ”
I ignored him.
I'm just taking a break from school, and I'm going to go to high school in a year.
As early as three years ago, Master instructed me to be sure to go to the Demon Capital when I took the college entrance examination, and the Master said that he had an old store in the Demon Capital, and the business in the store was an old business that all generations of our sect had to handle, and as long as I could get to the Demon Capital, I would be able to take over the business of the store earlier.
As for what kind of business that shop was running, Master sold it and said, "I'll know when I grow up."
Anyway, in order to fulfill Master's wishes, I have to work my studies.
At half past nine in the evening, the lights in Uncle Lu's house had been out for half an hour, and I guessed that he should have fallen asleep, so he took the ghost lantern and turned out of the courtyard with Lu Shengcai.
In order to prevent being discovered, I performed a concealment technique, and also pasted a concealment talisman on Lu Shengcai's back.
This place is not comparable to a mountain city, after all, there is no blessing of the ghost light array, even if you cast a concealment technique and paste a concealment talisman, you must be extra careful when acting, you must avoid the eyes of passers-by as much as possible, and try not to make a sound, otherwise there is still a great chance of exposing your traces.
Along the way, Lu Shengcai and I were cautious, and we didn't dare to increase our foot speed at all, for fear of making some mistakes.
Master said earlier that at the foot of the western mountain of Jingyun Mountain, there is a Taoist temple dedicated to receiving mortal incense. After leaving the alley, I took Lu Shengcai all the way west, because the foot was not fast, it took about an hour before and after, and finally saw a small hill directly west of Jingyun Mountain.
The mountain is not big, but a large-scale Taoist temple has been built on the mountainside.
It can be said that two-thirds of the area of this hill is enclosed in the courtyard wall of the Taoist temple, and from a distance, it seems that the mountain is the view, and the view is the mountain.
It just so happened that there was no one around, so Lu Shengcai couldn't help but speak: "This is just a vestibule?" What is the big thing in Jingyun Mountain? ”
I didn't answer, just silently burrowed into the dense forest next to the Taoist temple.
Finding a remote corner where no one was around, I held the lantern to my face and blew into the lantern cover.
When I had completely breathed out, there was a soft sound of "ho" from the lantern, and flames rose from the ghost candle.
After all, this area is the territory of Jingyun Mountain, even if there are powerful ghosts in the mountain forest, it has been cleaned up, the candle flame glows with a very bright orange yellow, and the light bursts out from the eight directions, illuminating a small piece of soil under our feet.
As soon as the light came out, I immediately raised my hand and blocked Lu Shengcai's mouth.
Thanks to my quick hands, otherwise this guy would have screamed.
I know that my physiognomy has changed dramatically at this time, and with the ghostly upper body, my whole person looks rather gloomy.
Lu Shengcai was about to break free of my hand, and I immediately whispered: "Don't panic, it's me!" ”
Hearing my voice, Lu Shengcai was suddenly a little confused: "Big head? ”
I had prepared the small mirror early in the morning, and while he was confused, I brought the small mirror to his eyes and asked him to take a closer look at his face.
Lu Shengcai looked at the mirror and was so shocked that he was about to scream, I grabbed his mouth: "Don't shout! ”
After a long while, I saw that Lu Shengcai had almost come back to his senses, and then I let go of his mouth.
Lu Shengcai picked up the mirror on the ground, looked at his face carefully, and looked at me in a daze: "You got it?" ”
I nodded: "Don't be afraid, after a while, the yang energy on your body will overwhelm the ghost qi, and your face will not be so stiff, and by that time, we will look no different from normal people." ”
"Can I change my face back?"
"When I turn off the lights, I'll be able to change back."
"Damn, it's amazing, you're better than plastic surgery."
"What is a facelift?"
Back in 2002, I really didn't know what plastic surgery was, and at most I had only heard the word "transfiguration" from Master.
Lu Shengcai was silent for a long time before replying to me: "I'll explain to you later." ”
He didn't want to say more, and I didn't bother to ask.
Then I took out the black cloth prepared in advance, circled the ghost lantern, waited until the fire was tightly covered, then held the lantern steady, and made a rapid charge against the outer wall of the Taoist temple.
When Lu Shengcai also landed silently, I leaned on my stomach and walked towards the only place in the Taoist temple where there was a light.
Luckily, this house in Liangguang should be the place where the disciples of Jingyun Mountain rest, and when we were five or six meters away from the window, we heard a few half-grown children chattering inside.
Directly opposite the door was a long wire with several sets of clothes and trousers hanging on it, and I glanced at them, which were probably the kind of short shirts worn by the half-grown children this morning.
I patted Lu Shengcai on the shoulder, raised my finger and pointed to the clothes on the wire, and told him in a low voice: "Go, get two sets that fit us." ”
Lu Shengcai didn't say a word, leaned over silently, and came back silently with two sets of clothes.
If I hadn't been staring at him, I wouldn't have felt anyone moving around the yard, he was so light.
Then the two of us crept over to the house.
Across a wall, I heard someone in the house shouting: "Those people in the mountain gate, they don't take us as things, don't you know, today Bai Jizhen passed by in front of our Taoist temple, I greeted him, and he pretended not to see me!" ”
Someone picked up the conversation: "In the realm of Jingyun Mountain, a registered disciple like us has no status, and Bai Ji is really a senior brother in the younger generation, you are embarrassed to greet him, don't be ashamed." ”
"Why am I so panicked, he is really a human being, and I am not a human being?"
"Don't say it, in the eyes of those disciples who entered the room, we are really not human. Except for the people from the precept hall who occasionally come to us to take a look, the people in the other halls don't know that there are people like us in Jingyun Mountain. Look at your expression, heck, look away, anyway, in a few years, we'll be going down. ”
"I just can't swallow that."
At this time, another person interjected: "Why are you talking and talking, and you guys are far away?" Didn't you just talk about the haunting of the dumb ditch? ”
"Yes, yes, you see, he interrupted like this, and I was also led astray."
