Chapter 4: Descendants of the Heavenly Master
"Alas~, there is still a way to remedy being entangled by ordinary ghosts, but if you are entangled by this ferocity, you will definitely die, I don't understand why she didn't kill you, now the only way is for you to go with us, we protect you."
"I...", I immediately became vigilant and went with them, why should they protect me for no reason, who would do thankless work in vain.
Seeing that I hesitated, he took a deep breath: "There are some things that are also time for you to know, Tang Jie." โ
As he spoke, he gave Tang Jie a look, only to see Tang Jie take out a box from his backpack and open it carefully.
A lean and clear jade pendant, with a big 'Zhang' character on it, caught my attention.
"What is this?"
"This is the Heavenly Master Order of 'Zhang Tianshi'. This is two hundred years ago to learn the Tao from our Tang family and the descendants of the Heavenly Master, and later Taoism suffered an accident, and our Tang family kept it on its behalf, and now it is handed over to you and it is considered to be returned to the original owner. โ
"What do you mean...", I looked at him in surprise.
"You are the descendant of the Heavenly Master." He affirmed: "If it weren't for the changes that happened a hundred years ago... "Alas," he said, shoving the jade pendant into my hand.
A warm and familiar feeling came from my hand, as if a loved one held my hand, very comfortable.
"It feelsโ" I frowned.
"Doesn't that sound familiar? This is the bloodline of your Heavenly Master's descendants. He grinned: "My name is Tang Yue, you can call me Uncle Tang in the future." โ
After listening to Uncle Tang's explanation, I chose to believe his words: "Then, then I'll go with you." โ
"Then let's go quickly, or we won't be able to catch the car to the county seat." Uncle Tang asked Tang Jie to pack his things and prepare to leave.
I turned my head, only to feel a little sour in my nose, looking at this familiar grass and trees, I was about to leave this place where I had lived for eighteen years...
Tang Jie is a cheerful person, and after a while we got acquainted, and from time to time he told me jokes, and I could see that he wanted to help me get out of the pain of bereavement, and my heart couldn't help but warm.
When we arrived at the county seat, it was already afternoon, when I passed the school gate, Uncle Tang got out of the car and bought a bag of Marlboro, I looked at the gate of the school, tears fell unconsciously, Uncle Tang was slightly stunned when he saw me, touched my head and said, "Do you still want to go back to school?" โ
"yes, I think." I bowed my head silently.
"I'll send you after it's over."
I looked at him in surprise: "Really? โ
He took a puff of his cigarette and looked into the distance without knowing what he was thinking: "We must first solve the evil." โ
Hearing him mention Gu Qiuqin, the picture of last night appeared in my eyes again, she was obviously fierce, but why did I hit her with a bench, even if she hit her head, she just dodged, thinking about the situation at the time, she seemed to want to explain to me why she killed my parents, is there any reason for this, is it really me who blamed her?
It seems that there are still two clouds of green smoke flying out after the death of the parents, so what is it?
"What are you thinking?" Uncle Tang looked solemn when he saw me.
"I...", I hesitated, but still told him the doubt in my heart.
He sighed: "Alas, you are still too young, those two clouds of green smoke must be the souls of your parents, as for what she did to catch the souls of your parents, I don't know very well, most likely she wants to use your parents' souls to coerce you!" โ
"But she didn't look like she was trying to coerce me, did she? And she was..."
"Well, that's why you are too young." Before I was done, he interrupted me, shook his head and said, "You should think about Luo Laodao, whether he was killed by the ferocious." โ
"But she's here to protect me." I looked at him quizzically.
"If Luo Laodao doesn't die, how can she go home with you and kill your parents with her own hands in front of you under the banner of saving your parents? Besides, this secret marriage is matched by Luo Laodao, and she is not allowed to kill Luo Laodao in order to kill people. โ
Listening to Uncle Tang's words, I couldn't help frowning, is it really as Uncle Tang said? Is she really trying to harm me?
"Leave the rest to me, and I'll protect you." He patted me on the back.
I just nodded lightly and didn't speak.
......
When I got to the edge of the county seat, "Why is there only this one house here?" "I looked up and down, and in the middle of a small courtyard stood a small three-story bungalow.
"In our business, there are often lonely ghosts looking for the door, so I have to live alone, otherwise I will cause trouble to the people around me", it took me a lot of effort to find this house! He smiled and said, "Xiao Jie, it's not early, you take Xiao Yu upstairs to sort out your luggage and arrange the room, I'll prepare it first." โ
After listening to his words, Xiao Jie pulled me upstairs: "You wait here for me for a while." โ
As he spoke, he rushed into a room, and after a while, he saw Xiao Jie wearing a Taoist robe, holding a string of copper coins, a peachwood sword, and a big bag on his back.
Then Xiaojie took bells, candles, etc. from his bag, and then took out a stack of charms, and kept pasting them on the wall, until he posted seventy-seven forty-nine sheets, and then he stopped: "Ouch, I'm tired of me." โ
I sat on the side and looked at him suspiciously: "What are these?" โ
"My dad said, that fierce demon is likely to come to you tonight, he is now opening an altar outside, but that fierce is very powerful, he is afraid that he can't fight that fierce, let me come in to protect you."
"She's really that good!" Listening to what he said, my heart tightened, and I couldn't help frowning, what should I do if Uncle Tang really missed?
'Snap', Tang Jie put the peachwood sword on the table, "What are you afraid of, if she dares to come, let her see how powerful the master is." Then he cocked Erlang's legs, and he was still playing haha with one hand.
I smiled, if Uncle Tang really can't stop it, Gu Qiuqin really found it, what will happen?
It was already completely dark, and because of the long distance, I didn't have dinner, and my stomach was rumbling, and I was eating the steamed buns that Tang Jie gave me, when I heard a crackling sound outside the room.
I couldn't help but be surprised, was it her? Is she really coming?
I saw Tang Jie stand up suddenly, hold the peachwood sword tightly in his hand, and pricked up his ears to carefully monitor the situation outside.
Then there was a burst of sound and crackling sounds of Uncle Tang's mantra, and suddenly I heard: "Ah! With a bang, Tang Jie and I looked at each other, Uncle Tang had an accident!
"Bang" The door opened, and then I saw the golden light on the wall, the spell worked, and when I was rejoicing, the golden light on the wall was actually extinguished, and the next second I saw Gu Qiuqin standing in front of me with a miserable face.
