The rainy night was hypnotic, but I didn't feel sleepy, thinking about the tanuki spirit I saw just now, I couldn't fall asleep over and over, and I thought a lot.

A decision was made in the middle of the night.

The next morning, the rain had stopped, the weather was clear, the sky was cloudless, and the good weather was a little unpleasant. After eating, I called Aunt Hong aside and told her, Auntie, you can leave here with the truck pulling goods outside in a while, go back first.

Aunt Hong looked at me and asked me if you could go.

I shook my head: "I'm not leaving." Mr. Wang Wentai opened the altar tonight, and I want to stay here. ”

"Then why did you let me go?" Aunt Hong asked.

I was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe here, and if you can implicate one less, count one less as one." You don't have my Taoism and supernatural powers, you're just an ordinary person, and you can't be involved here. ”

Aunt Hong smiled: "Xiao Feng, it's okay, when I followed Mother-in-law Fengyan before, I hadn't seen any strong winds and waves, these are not problems." Besides, we are a team, if you go, I will definitely go. But if you are still here, how can I abandon the ship and go ashore and ignore you? ”

My heart was warm, I didn't speak, Aunt Hong had her thoughts, I couldn't be too reluctant, I could only try my best to protect her when the disaster came.

After eating, I went back to my room to rest, and the silver fox monk said: "Little golden boy, didn't you say that you would leave this morning, I see what you mean and don't plan to leave." ”

I said "um", "Let's see how the altar opens tonight." ”

The Silver Fox Monk sighed, he rarely sighed, "If you leave at that time, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

Since I have made a decision, I cannot change it easily, whether they understand it or not, my determination will not waver.

During the day, I didn't do anything, I walked around the neighborhood with my hands behind my back, chatting with the employees in the yard. I observed the surrounding terrain and chatted with the Silver Fox Monk and Huang Xiaotian, and found a very important problem.

In the natural environment here, it is impossible to see wild foxes and wild cats that have grown into adults. The hills are neither high nor dense, the vegetation is sparse, and the soil contains a relatively high level of saline, which is completely unable to support a large ecosystem. Animals that have become sperm stand at the top of the entire biological chain. There are not even pyramids, so what is the spire?

Therefore, it can be judged that the two spirits that make waves here, the wild fox and the wild fox, are not native to here, but from outside.

The so-called "depth of water", the entrance is here: they are foreign, but where do they come from? Who sent it? And what is the background?

I asked Boss Qian if he had offended any peer enemies, and he was also an enemy with a Taoist background. Boss Qian looked confused, saying that he had no enemies, he had been soaking in the farm for many years, and his home was here, this was a closed small mountain village, who could he offend? The customers who come here are generally customers, inspecting the farm to negotiate contracts and drinking, and they are all like buddies, he really can't think of anyone he can offend, or has a Taoist background.

As soon as he said this, I secretly calculated that the two spirits were foreign, and they were not the enemies of Boss Qian, so there was only one possibility.

The spirits are coming for the farm. Boss Qian's killing spirit is too heavy, which is against the peace of heaven, and now the real retribution is coming.

Taking advantage of the fact that the altar was not opened, I went to visit Wang Wentai. The old man sat in the house drinking tea, and the things to be prepared had already been ordered, and he moved his mouth, and the others broke their legs.

When I came in, the apprentice Xiao Wu was not there, and went to supervise Boss Qian to purchase the things that opened the altar, and the old man was the only one in the house.

He looked at me and gestured to take a seat.

"Xiao Feng is coming over now, do you have anything to say to the old man?" Wang Wentai is not polite and straight to the point.

Although he and his apprentice have a very bad attitude towards me these days, after all, everyone is a peer, and I don't want to watch him make a fool of himself or even cause trouble.

I told you about the tanuki elf I saw on a rainy night last night.

Wang Wentai was really shocked, he put down the teacup, "Old raccoon dog becomes a spirit? It's so demonic, why didn't you say it earlier? ”

I whispered, "It's not too late to tell. Sir, I have observed the surrounding terrain and asked the locals that the geography here is not enough for animals to be spiritual, let alone become immortals. So I speculate that the wild fox and the old raccoon dog should be foreign. ”

"You mean you have a family background?" Wang Wentai is worthy of being an old Xiangtong, and he can understand it at one point: "If you have any ideas, you can say it." ”

"These two spirits are probably sent by the Hu family," I said, "I'm still young and don't have any ideas about how to deal with them, but I'm just here to remind the old gentleman that you must be improvisable when you open the altar at night." ”

Wang Wentai didn't speak, poured a bowl of tea with his own hands, and gently pushed it with the back of his two fingers to push the tea in front of me.

I picked up my tea, made a respectful gesture to him, and drank it down.

Wang Wentai poured a second cup of tea into the cup: "The guest drinks tea for the second time." ”

I drank it all again. Wang Wentai poured the third bowl: "The guests drink tea three times." ”

Although I don't know what it means, such a solemn ceremony, you can imagine Wang Wentai's respect for me.

"Xiao Feng, I have been moving poles for more than 30 years, and I have met too many bad people, and most of them are peers who have come out of the court. They do evil to their fellow believers, spread rumors, and even secretly poison them. Although I eat this bowl of rice, I am very unaccustomed to the industry of Ma Xian. Wang Wentai said: "But I am already old and decrepit, and it is still difficult to protect myself, and I still talk about rectifying the atmosphere in the industry, if I really want to do this, I am afraid that I don't know how to die." It's far away, Xiao Feng, after we get in touch, I can see that you are an open-minded person, you can find me today, say these words to me, and the old man will lead you to this. ”

He took out a walnut from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it to me: "This is a token of mine, it is a walnut that you play with, you hold it, if you have something in the future, you can come to me, even if I can't help you with this thing, I will let those apprentices help you." I have to think about the altar tonight, this work is very troublesome, and it is not good to collect people's money, but it is not wise to insist on raising the altar to oppose the Hu family. Difficult. ”

I took the walnuts and hugged my fists: "I won't bother you, old man, we are all disciples, since we have come here, we must be in the same boat, and we can greet you if you need anything." ”

"Thank you." Wang Wentai did not get up, but bent down slightly.

I walked out of his room, and Huang Xiaotian sneered in his heart: "Little golden boy, did I tell you that no matter what this surnamed Wang does, let's not wipe his buttocks, why did you forget?" ”

I said: "Let's not talk about those big truths, let's talk about the simplest reality, Wang Wentai and I are now in the same boat, with him charging ahead, at least for me, it is a guaranteed buffer zone." And once he doesn't even protect himself, we will face immediate danger. ”

"You have a point," said the Silver Fox Layman, "Actually, the best way is to go away." As the saying goes, a gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall. If you know that there is danger, but you still go to a dangerous place, you are a fool. ”

I said, "I'm just doing things." ”

The Silver Fox monk said: "Little Golden Boy, I have reiterated my point of view many times, and now I will tell you again, if you want to help the surname Qian, I will definitely not make a move." ”

I said, "I know, I'm not going to embarrass you. ”

Although the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, tonight to open the altar, the sky is very good, and it is not cold at night, compared to yesterday's wind and rain, it is simply early summer.

Choose to set up the altar in the courtyard at the back. After the jar was set up, all the people in the farm arrived, and there were twenty or thirty numbers, all around. Wang Wentai didn't appear, his apprentice Xiao Wu was presiding over the order, drawing a circle on the ground, and driving everyone out of the circle.

The table was covered with red and yellow silk cloth, full of incense candles, straw paper, copper stove lamps and other things, and the most eye-catching thing was a big pig's head in the center, smiling and smiling.

Aunt Hong sighed that in just one day, she could buy such a big pig's head, and Boss Qian really spent a lot of money.

Boss Qian took his younger brother Qian Jun and welcomed Wang Wentai out. Wang Wentai was on crutches and limped, but he had a stunning temperament on his body, and his aura was like a lame man.

Before arriving at the altar, he checked the things on it and praised Boss Qian for having a heart.

Boss Qian hurriedly said: "The old fairy is doing today, we don't dare to slack off, and the busy work is finally ready." ”

Wang Wentai nodded, looked at his watch and said, "Get up in fifteen minutes." ”

Few people spoke for these fifteen minutes, and everyone waited. Wang Wentai sat on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes on crutches, and never looked at me from his appearance to the present, but I understand, he knows that I am.

As the minutes passed, he suddenly opened his eyes, came to the altar, picked up the bell on it, and shook it gently.

This is a copper bell, the sound is crisp, and when it shakes, there is a wind around it, which is particularly obvious. Everyone was stunned, did not dare to speak, and looked at him with wide eyes.

It was very dark in the courtyard at night, but there were poles erected around the altar and light bulbs were put on it, and Wang Wentai seemed to be standing on a stage with only one light in Hesse, looking awe-inspiring, shaking the bell, and starting to practice late at night.
