Lao Sun looked at me carefully, sighed and slowly walked out of the door, looked at the sun that was about to set, and said, "It's going to change." ”

Wu Biaozi snorted a few times, and when Lao Sun left, he scolded me: "What I taught you just now, hurry up and learn!" Talk and behave, smile and smile, all fucking learn for me! I'll take the exam tomorrow, and if I don't do it well, I'll see how I clean you up! ”

I gritted my teeth in anger, but I had no choice but to learn.

According to Wu Biaozi's description, the origin of the Hu hall master is particularly mysterious, and he was brought in by a veteran of the ghost hall, and he was deeply loved by the previous generation of hall masters. Hu Tian is not only strong, but also calm, and was quickly promoted to the right-hand man by the previous generation of hall masters, when the hall master passed away, in fact, there were three or four candidates who were qualified to be elected as the next successor, including Liu Jiahe, but the hall master still handed over the power to Hu Tian.

Hu Tian did not exclude dissidents when he took office, and entrusted important tasks to those competitors, especially Su Zhenzhen, who was on the rise at that time.

In Wu Biaozi's view, Hu Tian died by himself and dug a pit for himself, and his later whereabouts were unknown.

I pondered Hu Tian's every move, looked at the photos of the old man, and felt in a trance that there is not only one me in this world, but probably several me. These "mes" may or may not have been born in the same era as me, and they have different experiences and experiences.

Hu Tian and I are said to have nothing in common except for their similar appearances, knowledge, manners, temperament, etc., but I always feel that I am very similar to him in my bones, or even not like each other, I am completely a person.

It's just that I was born in a thatched pit and he was born in a flower pot, and the growing environment is different, which leads to such a difference in our temperament.

The more I imitated, the more I felt close to this person, and I was a little confused for a while, as if I could really achieve a tacit understanding with this person after decades.

In the evening, the old grandson of the Chinese medicine doctor came, cooked me a decoction, and put it in a thermos. When I drank, he looked at me intently, and after I had finished drinking, he said, "It's too similar, it's too similar." It's a pity, young man, that you're just a little bit short of a fake. ”

"Where?" I asked.

Lao Sun said: "There is a ruthlessness in the eyes of Master Hu, and it is called 'Zhao' in our local dialect. That is to say, whoever he looks at with his eyes, who will immediately have weak legs, this kind of look is not something that can be had by killing a few people, it is a real Jiangyang thief who only has this feeling. And in your eyes, no. ”

"And what do I have?" I asked.

Lao Sun stared at me: "I don't know what your education is, and I don't know what your background is, but I can see that there is a kind of bookish anger in your eyes." ”

I laughed, "Sir, I didn't go to college. ”

"This has nothing to do with whether you go to university or not," Lao Sun said: "Being angry is not a compliment, not a compliment to you for studying too much, but a saying that you are indecisive, impure and wolf-like, and the bandits cannot go back if they are not good citizens." Isn't there such a saying, if Xiucai rebels for three years, you are a Xiucai. ”

I was very angry, but after Lao Sun finished speaking, I couldn't refute it for a while.

At this time, Wu Biaozi turned from behind: "Old grandson, I heard you talking here from afar." You know a! Xiao Feng is the reincarnation of our Hu Tang Master, do you understand the reincarnation? Reincarnated as a human being, of course, is very different from the previous temperament. ”

Lao Sun waved his hand: "Yes, yes, I don't like to get involved in these bad things of you, I've stayed enough in the ghost hall, and when the ceremony is over, I'll return to my hometown, and I won't stay in China, go to the United States to find my daughter." ”

Wu Biaozi smiled: "You don't know the rules of our ghost hall, and it is against the law to leave the hall without permission." ”

Lao Sun smiled and looked at him: "Just rush at you Wu Biaozi to suddenly kill after twenty years, what will become of the ghost hall after the ceremony, it's hard to say." When the time comes, I am afraid that my father will die and my mother will get married, and everyone will take care of everyone. ”

Wu Biaozi bared his teeth: "Hey, you old thing." ”

Lao Sun packed up the medicine box and hugged his fist at me: "Good luck, young man." "He walked away.

Wu Biaozi ignored him and glared at me: "Hurry up and practice, time is pressing, there is still a day tomorrow." ”

"You've got to give me something to eat, I'm hungry and tired right now." I say.

Wu Biaozi snapped his fingers, Zhang Chong's girlfriend who was made into a puppet came out, and Wu Biaozi told her to go down and cook.

I ate hot, and in the evening I was supervised by Wu Biaozi and continued to practice. Wu Biaozi smoked a paper cigarette, watching and instructing me how to move, and in the second half of the night, he shook his head: "It's good anywhere, but it lacks a little charm." ”

What I asked.

Wu Biaozi stepped on the cigarette butt and suddenly asked me, "Have you ever killed anyone?" ”

I was stunned for a moment and quickly shook my head.

Wu Biaozi asked me to wait, and he went out of the yard. After a short time, he came in from outside, carrying a small dog in his hand. This puppy is quite cute, covered in soft little fur, and looks at me with big eyes blinking.

Wu Biaozi put the dog in front of me, and then threw over a knife: "Kill it, pick up the skin, I want a whole skin." ”

The puppy, not knowing that the time of death was coming, crawled on the table, crawled close to me, stretched out his little tongue and licked my hand.

I was silent for a moment and said, "I don't do such boring things. ”

Wu Biaozi snorted coldly: "Master Hu is a decisive person, he tolerates those competitors, it is a misstrategy, but his own temperament is extremely decisive, and he doesn't blink an eye when he kills!" You're far worse than him. ”

I sneered: "If I follow him again at this point, will you rest assured that I will be the hall master?" ”

Wu Biaozi nodded: "This is also true." If you do that, I'm worried. However, now you don't need to learn the essence of his old man, just learn Shen Yun and deceive Su Zhen. ”

He pushed the knife at me: "I took care of you, I didn't find a living person for you to kill, you kill a dog and practice first." ”

I couldn't do anything when I looked at this puppy.

Wu Biaozi grabbed the puppy's neck, picked up the knife with his hand, and stabbed it into the puppy's left eye. The puppy screamed, and with a shake of his hand, he gouged out an eye with great dexterity. The table was covered with blood, and the puppy was wriggling in a pool of blood, whimpering and barking.

Wu Biaozi said: "Killing it can solve its pain, otherwise I will torture it to death little by little!" ”

I glared and glared at him, "You're such a brute. ”

Wu Biaozi laughed: "Good scolding, it's a bit of a Hu hall master, continue to scold." But I want to remind you, you scold and scold, this dog's skin still has to be picked. Otherwise, the next person to lose his eye will be your grandfather. ”

He took out his mobile phone, made a call, and said something, and it didn't take long for >

Wu Biaozi opened the picture to show me, there was a courtyard in my hometown, my grandfather was eating noodles in the yard, he looked at the moon in the sky, his face was a little sad, obviously thinking of me.

Wu Biaozi said: "As long as I have a crooked mouth, the people over there will immediately destroy one of your grandfather's tricks." You weigh it up. ”

I nodded: "You are ruthless!" ”

I grabbed the puppy, picked up the knife, and without thinking about it, stabbed the puppy in the neck. The hand turned, and the puppy did not move, with its little head down, and there was still a tear on its closed eyelid.

I was expressionless, and I used this knife to skin the puppy little by little, and the blood flowed all over the table and onto the ground.

Wu Biaozi smoked a cigarette and watched quietly until I peeled off the skin completely.

He nodded: "Okay, the exam is over, wash your hands and go to sleep." I'll do it again tomorrow. ”

I went out the back door with a blank face, and as soon as I got outside, I vomited "wow", vomited all the sour water on the floor, and vomited all the bits and pieces I ate at night.

Wu Biaozi came over and said: "If you want to be in power, you have to abandon the previous moral concept, what are dogs and people, you don't treat them as a living body, but as strategic materials." When the general was defending the city, he was forced to return it to the soldiers to eat people, so what. ”

I ignored him and stumbled back into the house.

The next day, I was still locked up in this independent courtyard, learning from Wu Biaozi how to imitate Master Hu. After studying for a day, I feel more and more suitable for Master Hu. Wu Biaozi nodded frequently and told me to go to bed early, nourish my spirits, and do big things tomorrow.

When I returned to the house, I was tossing and turning to sleep, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my mind: "Little golden boy." ”

My eyes immediately lit up: "Sect Leader Huang." ”

"Little Golden Boy, where are you?" He asked.

I smiled wryly: "In a place in Xingtai Town, Baicheng, Jilin, I don't know where it is. How are you doing? ”

Huang Xiaotian laughed, unable to hear his emotions: "You whip well." ”

I said apologetically, "I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, but it was impulsive. ”

"Anyway, you've gained Wu Biaozi's trust, and now you've entered the ghost hall, right?" He said.

I sighed, "It's a lot more complicated. Wait until I tell you slowly, are you out of danger? ”

Huang Xiaotian was silent for a moment and said: "Yes, they are all out of danger, at that time, fortunately, the mountain ghost saved the life of the monk, otherwise he would have died in the mountain." ”

"Isn't that mountain ghost Wu Biaozi's puppet?" I asked.

Huang Xiaotian said: "Mountain ghosts have spirits, do you remember that you can hold the little monk into the stone room and chant the scriptures, at that time the mountain ghosts had a feeling, and the spirit awakened in ignorance, which can be regarded as a good cause and a good effect." Tell me about your side of the story. ”

I said, "I'm afraid I'm going to be erased from this world tomorrow." ”
