After a closer look, I found that it was Cao Tianshi, but his walking posture was a little strange, and his heels couldn't touch the ground. I wondered if he didn't walk like that before.

I asked Daoist Qiu.

Daoist Qiu stroked his beard, smiled and said: "He is so clever that he still wants to save himself, after people die, he walks on his toes, he wants to pretend to be a dead person in advance, to hide people's eyes and ears, but does he really think that all ghosts are wine bags and rice bags?" ”

I also smiled, the Heavenly Master actually played this kind of cleverness.

When we arrived in the living room, Cao Tianshi had already sat down, and Daoist Qiu casually found a place to sit down, but Master Li hurriedly got up and invited Daoist Qiu to take a seat.

Daoist Qiu waved his hand and said, don't bother. Master Li had no choice but to give up.

Master Li said, today, in order to welcome Dao Chang and Cao Tianshi, I specially set up an all-vegetarian banquet to welcome the two masters.

I glanced at Cao Tianshi and found that his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he hadn't rested well last night. The young Dao boy also began to become sluggish, not as arrogant as before. Daoist Qiu also said thank you politely, and began to eat.

Xiao and I also ate it every night. Halfway through eating. Master Li suddenly asked, "Dao Chief, is my son dead or alive now?" When exactly will I wake up? ”

Daoist Qiu said: "I have already said before, he is the only one who can save your son now, and if you have any questions, ask him." ”

Master Li asked me instead. I followed what Daoist Qiu taught me and answered Master Li's words.

Master Li's face changed slightly, and he said to me in a begging tone: "Please also ask the master, save my son, my wife is now bedridden and worried about her son's safety." ”

I hummed and said I would do my best.

The meal was finished like this, we returned to the room, and Cao Tianshi quickly came to the door, Cao Tianshi's face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. His apprentice didn't come. However, he still walked on tiptoe, he sat down, and said in a decadent tone: "I asked someone last night, and what you said is true, and I am afraid that my life will not be long." ”

Daoist Qiu said, "Since it's true, what are you going to do next?" ”

Cao Tianshi said in a low tone: "I also ask the Taoist chief to show me a clear path." ”

Daoist Qiu looked at me, and Cao Tianshi was not stupid, so he quickly turned his gaze to me and said, "Please also ask Xiaoyou to show me a clear path." ”

I glanced at Daoist Qiu, who nodded at me. Then I repeated Daoist Qiu's words to Cao Tianshi. Cao Tianshi looked surprised when he heard this, and seemed to be a little disbelieving, and after a pause, he asked me: "I don't know who Xiaoyou is?" Which master is the master of the underworld? ”

I thought for a moment and said, "It's a secret, if you want to live, do what I say." ”

Cao Tianshi had no other way now, so he had to say yes.

Daoist Qiu stroked his beard and smiled.

When Cao Tianshi left, he said to me, "If the poor road escapes this calamity, it will definitely be rewarded." ”

Daoist Qiu said: "You will definitely be able to pass this calamity, we also have conditions, I will not be verbose, on the night of the third day, we will break the Tao and see." ”

These words made Cao Tianshi's complexion change, but he still accepted it.

After Cao Tianshi left, I suddenly remembered what Daoist Qiu said before, the lintel was hung red, the coffin was on the ground, the dead were chanting, and the living were ghosts. At the beginning, Daoist Qiu said that there had been three incidents, and I knew very well the first two, but the third was whether the dead were chanting scriptures, or the living seeking ghosts.

I couldn't help but ask, and Daoist Qiu said that it was a dead man chanting the scriptures. I asked when it was read?

Daoist Qiu said that he had read it a long time ago. You'll find out then.

I then asked Daoist Qiu, "When did the fourth thing happen?" ”

Daoist Qiu glanced at me and said, "Zhang Yan, when did you have so many problems, haven't you heard a sentence that says that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed?" ”

After Daoist Qiu finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door, looking at Daoist Qiu's back, I thought to myself that his identity was definitely not simple.

Xiao Wanwan held her chin in her hand and looked at me, her eyes seemed to be smiling. I asked Xiao Wanwan and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

Xiao Wanwan hurriedly said, "I didn't think about anything. ”

Xiao Wanwan is a very quiet girl who basically doesn't speak. In this way, we stayed in the Li Mansion for two days, during which Daoist Qiu helped the subordinates of the Li Mansion to solve the problem. The gratitude of the subordinates is zero. One night two days later, the entire Li Mansion became gloomy and cold.

In the early hours of the morning, it was even more cloudy and windy. Daoist Qiu also specially instructed me: "Don't go out at night!" ”

I said okay.

It was only in the middle of the night that I heard a terrible scream.

On the morning of the third day, very early, almost as soon as the sky was polished, there was a knock on the door of my room, and when I walked over to open the door, I saw that Cao Tianshi's hair was messy, and he didn't even put on the Taoist priest's bun, and his face was even haggard.

We looked at each other for a few seconds, and I was about to speak. In the next second, Cao Tianshi knelt down in front of me, didn't say anything, and kowtowed three times in a row.

I was stunned, and when I came back to my senses, I quickly started to help him up, and I said, "Heavenly Master, what are you doing here?" Something to say. ”

Cao Tianshi said: "Benefactor, don't call me Tianshi in the future, my name is Cao Shaoyi, and you will call me Shaoyi in the future." If it weren't for your benefactor last night, I would have been suffering from skin-peeling cramps on the eighteenth floor of hell by now. ”

I thought to myself, when did my name do so much.

After Cao Tianshi got up, I asked him to tidy up his appearance first. He may also realize that he is sloppy and retreat.

When I went out, I went to Daoist Qiu and told the truth. Daoist Qiu said that this was to be expected. Daoist Qiu said: "Wait a minute, I'll tell him about going to break the Taoist temple tonight." ”

I said okay.

In the past few days in the Li Mansion, Master Li really has nothing to say to us, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the service is very proper.

When Master Cao comes to me again, I'll tell you about it.

Cao Tianshi also agreed.

Until the evening, a few of us went towards the Broken Dao Temple, and there were five of us in total. We brought flashlights, and when we arrived at this place at night, the wind was very cold.

Cao Tianshi didn't care about it, and asked us what to do next?

Daoist Qiu smiled and said, "What should I do, I should ask you, right?" Cao Tianshi. ”

These words made Cao Tianshi's face change. Daoist Qiu continued without a pause: "Originally, the seven bells rang by you, but you made them into six rings, and if you want to say that Cao Tianshi, you have no connection with the existence inside, the old Taoist doesn't believe it. ”

Dao Tong couldn't help but interject and said, "Why do you always wronged my master. ”

"Whether it is wronged or not, your master knows it in his heart."

My eyes also fell on Cao Tianshi. But at this moment, Xiao Wanwan, who was beside me, suddenly called me and said, "Zhang Yan, I have a hunch that the first bell is about to ring." ”

Not long after Xiao Wanwan finished speaking, the bell rang. However, everyone's attention fell on Cao Tianshi, and they didn't notice what Xiao Wanwan said.

I glanced at Xiao Wanwan in surprise, but I didn't ask much.

After the bell rang, Daoist Qiu said, "Master Cao, you must know that if you don't say it now, if you miss it, you may never have a chance again." ”

Cao Tianshi's eyelids drooped, as if he was thinking. As the second bell rang.

Cao Tianshi finally spoke, "When the sixth bell rings, we can go in." After Cao Tianshi finished speaking, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul. When the sixth bell rang, Daoist Qiu did not hesitate, pushed the door and entered.

I shouted to Xiao Wanwan and followed closely. Cao Tianshi and his apprentices did not lag behind.

But when I went inside, I found that it was an empty yard, and there were no houses in it, which was different from what I saw outside. Daoist Qiu took a few steps forward, I followed behind, and after taking a few steps, Daoist Qiu paused.

I couldn't help but ask Daoist Qiu, "Where is the house here?" ”

Daoist Qiu said: "Someone has set up a trick for us, and we are temporarily trapped. ”

I looked at Cao Tianshi and asked him, are you fooling us?

Cao Tianshi said, "Don't dare, do you see a plane tree there?" Reverse it three times, turn it three times, and you will enter the courtyard. ”

I looked at Cao Tianshi suspiciously. Cao Tianshi suddenly smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, my apprentice and I will go around first." After saying that, the two of them began to revolve around the plane trees in the courtyard, and Daoist Qiu and I were both staring at it.

When they turned, they disappeared before our eyes. The picture has become a little weird.

And at that moment, the seventh bell rang. Strangely, we didn't see where the bell was either!

Xiao Wanwan suddenly said: "Zhang Yan, where do I seem to have heard this bell?" It's like listening to it when I was a kid. ”

Before I could speak, Daoist Qiu sighed: "Can you remember where you heard it?" ”

Xiao Wanwan shook his head. Daoist Qiu didn't ask, just smiled. I said to Daoist Qiu, "Let's go around too." Daoist Qiu hummed, I walked in front, and began to reverse three circles around the plane tree, and then prepared to turn two times, just as I was about to turn the third circle.

Suddenly, someone dragged me down, and I heard a voice in my ear saying, "No need to turn around." ”

Then I was dragged back, and when I came out, I was sweating profusely and inexplicably began to gasp for air. Daoist Qiu's hand was tugging at my clothes. I asked Daoist Qiu unknowingly, "What's wrong?" ”

Daoist Qiu said, "Look up for yourself." ”

After listening to Daoist Qiu's words, I immediately looked up and saw that the plane tree, which was originally flourishing, was already full of corpses at this time. Each corpse looked terrifying. I was startled and hurriedly jumped out.

Daoist Qiu said lightly: "If you turn around, it's a dead end, this place is really interesting, and this game is a bit interesting." ”

As Daoist Qiu spoke, he inserted the piece of cloth with the words of fortune counting and measuring words on the ground and stood up! Just as soon as it was inserted, a corpse fell from a tree. Daoist Qiu asked me and Xiao Wanwan to stand behind him, and the corpse quickly got up and walked towards Daoist Qiu.

It was only in the next second that Daoist Qiu said something strange and stopped the corpse......
