The hand holding the flashlight kept shaking, constantly adjusting his breathing, but his chest was still stuffy. Although I didn't want to vomit, my head was swollen and I felt groggy.

The strange man twisted his body on the ground, and after about twenty seconds, it quieted down, and then there was no movement. The bead got up from the ground, walked quickly to the monster's side, first pulled out my beast bone dagger, and then expertly flipped the monster over, peeling off the skin of the scar on its back!

The fat man helped me up from the ground and whispered, "Just drink some wine when you go out, my grandfather said that when they used to fight, the recruits had to drink wine, otherwise they wouldn't dare to kill the enemy." ”

I nodded, it was funny every time I thought about it, but for me, it was a very precious memory. If I hadn't had the experience of escaping death again and again, I wouldn't be where I came after.

To put it in one of my favorite words, it's the past that makes the present.

Before the dwarf monster could catch up, we ran wildly the way we came. Although there was a constant roar behind us, we didn't see the pursuers, and it was only when we climbed out of the stone slab and reached the outside of the well that we could finally really catch our breath.

I sat in the courtyard of Xuanming Temple, and I finally felt better. Zhu handed over the dagger and the peeled skin, and said, "This scar is indeed imprinted, and this pattern is the same as the one I saw three years ago. There must be a big secret underneath the Xuanming Temple, that monster is not simple. ”

I nodded, took the beast bone dagger back, and examined it carefully, but fortunately there was no obvious damage.

The difference between a beast bone dagger and a metal dagger is mainly in the degree of openness and sharpness. The former is easy to open, the latter is stronger and sharper, and of course I got a dagger made of the bones of earth beasts later in my business, and that's another matter.

The second time I explored Xuanming Temple, I still found nothing, but the fat man and I were a little happy. I'm glad I didn't rush in too impulsively, and if it weren't for the beads this time, we might never see the sun again.

"I'll keep this skin for now, and I'll ask a friend when the time comes, and I'll give you an answer later. During this time, you have rested, several of my brothers are dead, and I will ask you for help in the future when there is business. You two take advantage of this time to practice your skills, and don't come to this Xuanming Temple again. I felt that it was too evil down there, but the people in the neighborhood didn't seem to know it. It's strange that there are such evil places in the suburbs of Shanghai. ”

In fact, the idea of beads coincides with mine, this is Shanghai, even if it is a suburb, but it is a metropolis after all, so many villages and township brigades around do not know the secrets of the underground of Xuanming Temple at all. This is also very confusing......

After leaving Xuanming Temple, we helped Zhuzi settle down in the guest house, and after a few drinks, the fat man went back to Master Han's house, while I went back to my own house.

I stayed at home for several days, during which my parents helped me find a job, and I pushed them all. This exploration of Xuanming Temple, I deeply understood my own innocence and inadequacy.

First, I don't have the ability to defend myself.,I haven't been a soldier and I haven't learned martial arts.,Nothing.,It's okay to encounter an earth beast like "Square Tail".,But if you encounter a monster like a white-faced monster, I'm afraid no one can only run away without help.。 The second is that the scope of knowledge is too narrow, and I can't make up for the lack of experience, but if I can't know myself and the enemy, then how can I win all battles?

Therefore, in the days when I stayed at home, I practiced the "Wudang Five Elements Gong" sent by Yu Lao, and at the same time studied "Strange Tales of the Mountains and Wilds". However, the reality is not a story in the storyteller's mouth, "Wudang Five Elements Gong" is definitely useful, but there are too many obscure parts in it, and there is no mobile phone or anything at that time, and I can't find Yu Lao when I call, and I can only guess by myself in many places, or go to Master Han to ask. On the other hand, some ghosts without illustrations and few descriptions began to appear behind "Strange Tales of the Mountains". This caused a lot of inconvenience to my understanding.

I often go to Master Han's place, and I always see the fat man wearing strange makeup, sitting in front of the offering table and meditating, and muttering something from time to time. Just a week after the third expedition to Xuanming Temple, the beads found me.

He asked me to meet at a nearby teahouse, but he wasn't alone.

"Xiaoshan, this is Lingqian, the Yin walker over there in Yuyang. Lingqian, this is the Ba Xiaoshan I mentioned to you. ”

Beads were accompanied by a girl with waist-length hair and a dark green coat of corduroy, and a pair of black round-scaled shoes on her feet. A white shirt with a floral bow tie was, in our words at the time, quite fashionable! And at first glance, she is a young lady from a rich family, but she can mix with the beads, and she should not be an ordinary person.

She is very good-looking, and when I first met Lingqian, my impression was that it was like walking down from the movie pictorial.

The skin is smooth and white, the eyes are large, there are shallow dimples, and the temperament is extraordinary. When I walked into the tea room, it attracted a lot of attention.

"Hello."

I hurriedly reached out my hand to say hello. She shook my hand, her palm was a little cold, but her smile was sweet.

"Xiaoshan, Lingqian's brother and I have known each other for a long time. Their ancestors were scholars, and they were real scholars......

Brother Zhuzi introduced with a smile, but Lingqian shook his head and said, "Where, I'd better introduce myself." I am a descendant of the Yuyang Kunyu faction, I just graduated from the school the year before last, and now I am a yin walker. This time, I wanted to ask Brother Zhu for help, but he recommended you to me. ”

Yuyang Kunyu faction? Shade walkers? I've never heard of any of them, and it sounds like a book from heaven. Blinking his eyes and not knowing how to answer for a while, Zhu Zi smiled and said for me: "Xiaoshan has only been in the industry for a long time, but he has learned skills from the old man Yu of the Beijing Zhengyi faction, you are his senior, I hope you can take him with you this time." ”

"Oh? Is it an old-timer in Faxian? Then you are really lucky, he is a senior of the Zhengyi faction, I was fortunate to follow the master to visit him once a few years ago, I don't know what skills you learned from your predecessors? I've been in the shade for a while, and there is an older brother at the top of the family, who is quite famous in the circle, if you just start the industry, you can join my brother to eat. ”

Her tone seemed to change slightly, as if her face became a little indifferent after knowing that I had not been in the industry for a long time.

I only realized something when I heard this, the stranger let the other party eat with him when they met for the first time, and the appearance of the eldest lady was exposed.

This girl's temper and her appearance are very similar, and she looks quiet on the outside, but she is actually from a famous family, and she is a descendant of the Kunyu faction, so she is arrogant. Although I am a social bastard and unemployed vagrant, I am still a little unconvinced. This girl spoke too much, and it didn't take long for us to put on a high-minded appearance, which suddenly made me lose all the good impression she had just now, to be honest, I was most annoyed by this kind of guy who dragged and looked like two hundred and five. New China has been reformed and opened up, and he still fucking thinks he is a master.

"Oh, I haven't learned anything, and I'm not his disciple. To put it bluntly, I'm just an ordinary person, Brother Zhuzi, I still have something to do here, so I'll leave first. ”

The so-called Tao is not the same, you look down on me, and I don't want to be looked down upon by you. Don't bother with women, just go.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stood up, Zhuzi said with a smile: "This time the business is a fat mess, and it can't be done without you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, turned my head to look at the beads in confusion, and asked, "Brother, what do you mean?" ”

"This time I'm going to catch a ghost, that ghost has been recorded in your "Mountain Monster Tales", but unfortunately I sold the book to you. That's why I brought Lingqian to find you to join the house, and the price of the last house is not low, 5,000 yuan, can you do it? ”

I was stunned, five thousand is not a small number for me, and it can also support the fat man and his uncle, and people have no confidence if they don't have money. Besides, my principles are not strong, as long as I don't violate my bottom line, women can endure it.

"How?"

I asked.

"I'm not involved, half of you. If you agree, sign a contract and start work tomorrow! ”

The bead took out a piece of paper from his bosom and spread it out in front of me.
