The brazier was not large, and it was a porcelain basin with an extremely common apricot yellow color, and the fire still flickered in the basin, showing that the burning yellow paper had never stopped. Li Rushen inexplicably felt a strange feeling, as if the yellow paper burning in the brazier made him return to the terrifying but magical stories told by his grandfather in his childhood.

At this moment, the closed door of the house suddenly opened silently, and a figure slowly walked out. I saw that this person was about thirty years old, slightly chubby, and he was dressed very exquisitely, his coat and underwear and even shoes and socks were carefully matched, and he looked extremely coordinated. However, the strange thing is that the head of this man wears an apricot-yellow hat.

The hat resembled a three-dimensional triangular model, also apricot yellow, and there were two long ribbons floating behind the hat, that is, at the back of the man's head. Li Rushen frowned slightly, vaguely remembering how this hat was like the hat worn by Taoist priests in Hong Kong and Taiwan supernatural movies. is different from the movie, except that the person is wearing an apricot yellow robe at this moment.

Under the same dim street lamp as the night before, the man walked to the side of the brazier, stood for a while, and suddenly sat cross-legged, Li Rushen looked at him strangely and his hands pinched quickly, and in an instant the man's gesture froze, I don't know if Li Rushen felt that he had a hallucination or really saw it with his own eyes, but saw the wisps of green light slowly rising from the brazier in the corner of the wall.

The green light was like smoke in the air, but no matter how the shape changed, the final spell formed by the man's hands was like a range hood, and all of them were silently absorbed into the funnel-shaped gesture that the man had built.

The man's face was calm as usual, he looked at his hands in silence for a moment, and suddenly took out a dilapidated ancient book from his close bosom. After turning a few pages, he shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough, it is the secret of the Taoist true lineage and four watches, but I don't know if I can really cultivate that legendary technique......" He put away the ancient book and continued to change the ten fingers of his hands in silence.

At this moment, the vermilion courtyard gate between the two stone lions. Suddenly, it slowly opened again, and there was a bronze medal bigger than a fist on each of the two doors, shining with a faint gold under the reflection of the street lamp, and the bronze medal was actually the head of a monster, with its mouth half open, and a ring hung on the outstretched fangs, and the ring struck on the bronze medal as the door was opened. There was a loud noise.

The silver-haired old man stepped out the door, his hands behind his back, his face full of wrinkles, although his old age was difficult to hide, and there was a thick worry between his eyebrows, but it still looked full of a strange atmosphere, especially the posture of his hands behind his back. It's as if it's sticking to some kind of inheritance that is more important than life. He stood silently on the steps of the doorway, looking at the man who was still sitting cross-legged in front of the brazier. After a long time, he spoke: "Daochang Xiao, can it go well?" ”

"Fair! I don't think I will live up to Huang Weng's trust. The person who was called Xiao Zhi sat on the account and wore a Taoist crown replied flatly. But the ashes in the brazier in front of him suddenly burst into flames with a "bang", and a large cloud of green light rose up. The man's hands quickly closed, and the green light returned, gathering in his hands again.

The old man frowned, and the Xiao Dao Chang smiled, "Huang Weng." Don't worry, you know that my lineage is the four watches of Taoism. The so-called four watches, that means that many of the supernatural powers in my sect can only be more powerful when they are in the fourth watch. ”

The old man nodded, and suddenly looked back, "Come out, Daoist Xiao has already said that you have to wait until the fourth watch, so since you have been waiting for so long, why do you care about these few hours......" His voice was extremely calm, but it sounded full of endless vicissitudes.

Li Rushen's hidden position is very ingenious, he can clearly see the scene in the courtyard only opened a gap, behind the door is a shadow wall, but what is painted on the shadow wall, he can't see clearly, the courtyard behind the shadow wall is dim, and the reason for the dimness is that from Li Rushen's angle, the entire courtyard is only lit with white candles on the trees and in the corners. It seems that the light of modern civilization has been completely cut off by the whole courtyard.

Li Rushen saw that two figures walked out from behind the shadow wall, one in front was a mother-in-law of the same age as the old man, and behind was a young man with a slightly pale face. The faces of the two of them were extremely sad, especially the old woman who was moving forward, and the pain in her eyes was undisguised.

"Daoist Xiao, the shadow is all up to you." The old woman said tremblingly, "She was so lonely in her life, I really don't want her to be alone after she dies, you see, we built such a beautiful house, and she left before she could choose a one she liked......

The Daoist Xiao stood up and said in an extremely sincere tone that looked and sounded, "Madam Huang, please rest assured, I have already judged the opportunity of your daughter, and her illness is congenital and has nothing to do with you. So you don't have to feel guilty. ”

"So, thank you Master Xiao. I've been dreaming of shadows more and more recently, she's so beautiful but so pitiful......" Mrs. Huang's eyes couldn't help but turn red, "I didn't expect her to be like this over there, she is even better looking than me when I was eighteen years old, but no one pays attention to her, Xiao Daochang, could it be that someone is dead, this disease is still not cured in the underworld?" “

Xiao Daochang couldn't help but smile, "Mrs. Huang is too worried, if you want me to say, this marriage is determined by heaven, and the two ends of the red thread of the old moon have already been tied." The marriage of your daughter is destined to be so, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find someone who matches her eight characters so quickly in the sea of people, all of this is nothing more than four words, fate. “

Just as he said this, he suddenly frowned, his eyes glanced slightly towards a certain shadow, the hands behind his back trembled slightly, Xiao Daochang looked at Huang Weng and Mrs. Huang with an unchanged face, "The second watch has passed, the third watch is approaching, can Huang Weng and Mrs. Huang give me some preparation ......?" “

There are no stars and no moon tonight, but the old man surnamed Huang, who is quite ancient, is looking at the sky with his hands in his hands, and the night sky is slightly orange under the reflection of the city lights. "Daoist Xiao, please rest assured, if this matter is successful, in addition to the promise promised to the Daoist before, in terms of money, it will definitely satisfy the Daoist."

Xiao Daochang smiled freely, "The Huang family is a century-old surname, but my Daomen Four Watches also has a thousand-year-old heritage, the so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, Huang Weng doesn't have to worry, the poor way has always been to pay attention to the law." He bowed his hand and invited the old man and the three to return to the courtyard. He straightened his hat and walked towards the shadows of the alley in the distance with a solemn expression.

The old man surnamed Huang nodded, and suddenly saw the pale young man, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, staring closely at Xiao Daochang's back, and he coughed in a low voice but sternly. The young man turned his head and silently helped the old lady up the steps. (To be continued.) )
