Chapter 18: Apprenticeship

I didn't wake up until noon the next day, and I can't remember exactly how I got back last night.

Walking down the stairs, I saw Pipa Man and the old beggar watching TV with relish.

Pi Pixia heard my footsteps and couldn't wait to run up and pull me to sit in front of the TV, and said excitedly: "Big nephew, you see that many news on TV are reporting on our live broadcast last night, and the hot search on Weibo has been hanging all morning, and my brother's live broadcast account has millions of fans overnight, and he told me that next time there is such a good thing, I must call him." ”

I didn't listen to half a word for a long time, I only knew that the TV news said that 28 female corpses were found in the Peach Blossom Garden, and the length of death varied, and the boss and high-level employees of the Peach Blossom Garden were suspected of serious crimes and all of them have been seized; The indecent videos on the screen of the Peach Blossom Paradise studio are related to 186 entrepreneurs and 37 high-ranking officials, and the relevant departments are strictly investigating them......

I glanced at the golden bell on the old beggar's waist, and I guess Yu Feixue also knew the good news.

However, I was especially curious about his golden bell, what kind of treasure was this, so powerful against ghosts.

"What? Interested? The old beggar noticed that I was staring at his golden bell and asked in a muffled voice.

I was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again, "Don't tell you, Master, I was recently entangled by a powerful ghost, and I almost lost my life three times and twice." ”

I actually brought the old beggar back last night, God help me!

The old beggar squinted at me, "The hall is black, don't get close to the living; The middle of the person sinks, and his life hangs by a thread. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

The old beggar suddenly grabbed my hand and put his thumb on my middle finger, and a trace of pain began to climb slowly up from my fingertips, and the more I went up, the more painful it became.

When it was almost time for my arm, I couldn't stand it anymore and broke free from the old beggar's hand.

The old beggar took a finger of his yellow-brown beard and said, "Boy, you are neither a yang nor a yin person!" Ever dead, right? ”

Just pinch it and you'll know? I glanced at Pipman, and he shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't say anything!" ”

I replied with a smile: "I entered the ghost gate once the night before yesterday!" ”

After all, having died once, there is nothing glorious in saying it; But I want to hug the old beggar's thigh, and I can't talk to people with a sad face.

The old beggar continued to rub his beard, "Do you know your own eight characters?" ”

"Xin Wei Bingshen Yi Mao Bingzi."

"Yo he, I can't see that your kid is still pure yin, and I went to the underworld again, no wonder a ghost has to pounce on you, and you can see things that ordinary people can't see." The old beggar said.

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Pipi Shrimp said that I am a yin and yang person, but is it true?" ”

I'm still a little skeptical about Pipman's three-legged cat kung fu guy.

The old beggar nodded and said, "That's right! You are indeed the first yin-yang person I have ever seen in my life, there was once a yin-yang person who also listened to what my master said, it is not easy to become a yin-yang person, you must be all yin, and you must be brought into the ghost gate when the yin year is yin and the moon is yin, especially to have yang energy to protect the body, and someone has to bring you back to the yang world at a critical moment. It is so thrilling, delaying even one second will kill people. You kid is lucky, not only did he live, but he also became the yin and yang person that all ghost hunters want to be. ”

I cried with a sad face, "Master, to become a yin and yang person, you will be tortured by yin qi every night at night, and you have to drink someone's tongue blood in order to survive, what kind of good luck is this?" ”

When I talk about someone, I can't help but glare at Piptian.

The old beggar let out a sneer, "When has this been, still with blood on the tip of the tongue?" If you use too much blood on the tip of your tongue, it will only make your yin qi more violent, and when the time comes, the Lord of Hades will not be able to accept you or not! ”

In total, the two mouthfuls of blood on the tip of my tongue are both chronic poisons that are urging death, just wait until the day of the poison?

Pi Pixia, this kid, doesn't understand anything and still messes around, see if I don't beat him to death.

Before my fist could swing over, Piptian jumped up and ran away, "I don't know anything!" ”

I looked at the old beggar without tears, "Master, is there a way to save me?" ”

The old beggar lifted Erlang's legs and shook the ground, "It's not that there is no way, but I have a condition!" ”

"I'll give you as much as you want!"

The old beggar shook his head, "I don't want money, as long as you worship me as a teacher!" ”

At that moment, I stared at the old beggar's face, and I looked like I couldn't grasp the point.

"What, don't want to?" The old beggar snapped to his feet.

I snapped and knelt down, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship, no!" Three worships! As I spoke, I kowtowed three times.

The old beggar happily helped me up, "That's not how to worship Master, get up and prepare three sticks of incense, two bowls of white wine, and a handful of loess." ”

"Master, wait a minute!" I couldn't wait to run to the kitchen to find Steward Wu to help me prepare.

At first, I was still muttering in my heart that I was afraid that something would happen to him, but I didn't expect that the result was unexpected, and he just asked me to apprentice. There is a master with a strong Taoism covering me, and I am not afraid of ten Li Die'er. Not only do I have no reason to refuse to apprentice, but I even have a thousand, 10,000 reasons to worship him as a teacher.

Bringing two bowls of white wine, three sticks of incense, and a handful of freshly detained loess back to the living room, the old beggar had already hung an old and Zou painting on the opposite side of the dining table.

The painting shows a white-bearded old man in a yellow robe holding a copper coin sword, and he also has a bell around his waist, but it is black.

The old beggar bowed three times to the person in the painting.

"Master, who is this?" I asked curiously.

The old beggar said: "This is the ancestor of our Lin family, known as Ma Lao Dao, who has studied Taoism since he was a child, and has taken it as his responsibility to eliminate demons and catch ghosts, and founded the Ma family faction at the age of thirty, and is a famous ghost hunter on the rivers and lakes, and Lin Zhengying's ancestor is the same truth." The first thing to do is to worship the Patriarch, to show respect and devotion to the industry, and also to pray for the blessing of the Patriarch. ”

It turned out that the old beggar was a member of the 'sect', not a homeless man who studied art on the street, which made me respect him a little more.

The old beggar continued: "Three sticks of incense and a bowl of wine to worship the ancestors!" ”

I obediently lit three incense sticks, knelt down and bowed to the ground to serve them sincerely, poured a bowl of white wine on the ground, and said, "Ask Master Zu to bless my disciples!" ”

The old beggar nodded with satisfaction and continued, "The second thing is to bow to the teacher. ”

He bowed to the portrait and said, "Master Zu is above, Ma Jiudao, the one hundred and eighth generation descendant of the Ma family, accepts Wei Laisheng as the first apprentice today, and I hope Master Zu will bless me!" ”

After speaking, he pulled out a dining chair and sat down, "What are you stupid about, why don't you hurry up and toast Master!" ”

I hurriedly reacted, knelt on the ground with a bowl of liquor and bowed three times, and then offered the liquor to Ma Jiudao, "Master is above, please accept the first apprentice Wei Laisheng to worship!" ”

Ma Jiudao took the wine and drank it all, picked up the loess and sprinkled it on me, and said: "Since you have entered the door of the Ma family, you must abide by the rules of the Ma family, do not be greedy, do not kill, do not steal, do not prostitute, do not harm people's interests, life is the Ma family, death is the ghost of the Ma family!" ”

"Disciple understands!"

How do I have a feeling of being fooled again? Isn't this a bit like I was deceived into marrying Li Dieer, grabbing a certain psychology of me and tricking me into a thief ship.

But I know in my heart that this thief ship is not another thief ship, one wants my life, and the other protects my life.

Ma Jiudao, now called Master.

Master took out a brass bell from his bosom and handed it to me, "Bite your finger and drop a drop of blood on it, and it will be yours from now on!" ”

I took the copper bell and looked at it, this bell was not only not as big as Master's, but also rustic, and too low-level, "Master, can you change it?" For example, gold and silver are also made. ”

"Boy, if you want to change the color, you have to look at your own ability. The bell represents the level of the ghost hunter, the copper bell is the lowest level of the ghost hunter, if you want to rise to the next level, you can only go to the ghost hunt, when you have seven ghosts in the copper bell, the copper bell will turn purple, and then the bell can help you measure the direction in the simple environment, and sound the danger alarm. I'm hungry for the teacher, and I'll teach you the rest of the things slowly! Master stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

I was secretly sad when I held the copper bell, but when I remembered that the master's golden bell was so powerful, I gritted my teeth and was ruthless, and dripped two drops of blood on it.

As soon as the blood dripped on the bell, it was instantly absorbed.

I always feel that the bell is tied to my waist and affects the appearance, which is not the style of a big man, so I simply put it in my trouser pocket.

"Old Wu, is the meal ready?" I didn't eat in the morning and at noon, and my stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

As soon as I walked into the kitchen, I was dumbfounded.

Pipa and Master are like bandits, making a mess of the originally spacious and tidy kitchen.

Steward Wu looked at me helplessly, "Sir, there is still leftover bread from yesterday morning in the refrigerator, do you want to eat some?" ”

I was stunned for half a day before slowly going over and opening the refrigerator.

The master came up with a braised pig's trotter and said, "Apprentice, I see that your kitchen here is big, the sleeping place is spacious, and there are many servants at home, since I have become your master, I am a teacher for one day and a father for life, I should live down, there are too few dishes in the kitchen, ask them to buy more at night." ”

It turns out that this is the reason why he wants me to worship him as a teacher, and the feelings are begging for support!

But I also have compassion, and it's even.

"Lao Wu, I'll find a few sets of clean clothes for my master to change into, find a room closer to me and arrange it casually for him to live, he is my master, you can prepare whatever he wants in the future." I commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Steward Wu always looks decent, calm and calm, no wonder Yang Xiaoliu chose him to be the housekeeper.

"Great nephew, what about me? Where did you put me? Pipper nibbled on half a lamb chop.

"The guest room next to the utility room will be assigned to him, and if there is anything to call him for help, you don't have to look at my face." I walked out with half a slice of bread in my mouth.

"Understood!" Steward Wu followed me and replied.

Pipman's dissatisfied voice came from the kitchen, "Damn! I'm your cousin! ”
