The old monk nodded and said: "This is indeed the meditation room of the master of Xiuwen, but the master has passed away for many years, and the presiding officers of the past dynasties have explained that the master's meditation room cannot be mastered, and it needs to be cleaned every day." ”

If this painting is really painted in the first year of Jianlong, then this Jokhang Temple really has a long history.

"Master, is this painting really painted in the first year of Jianlong?" Liya asked suspiciously.

The old monk also shook his head and sighed: "It should be, I only know that since I can remember, I have often followed the host to clean up." ”

I looked at the bedroom and couldn't help but want to go over, but I was dragged by the little monk as soon as I took two steps.

The little monk was four or five years old, and although his clothes were shabby, they were clean, and his fleshy little finger pointed to the bedroom and said, "An uncle has gone in." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of uncle?" ”

He frowned, thought for a long time, and stretched out his hand to gesture in the air, "An uncle with an umbrella, a black umbrella, is good-looking." ”

I was busy going to the bedroom, and after a turn, I didn't find any trace of Xiao Yu.

Li Jingzhi asked the little monk when he saw it, and the little monk replied, "When I was cleaning in the morning." ”

It's almost noon now, Xiao Yu came over in the morning, is he looking for something, or is he waiting for me?

He knocked me unconscious just now, when will he come back, he is waiting for the woman in the painting?

For a while, my mind was in a mess, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I asked the old monk in a dumb voice: "Master, how did Master Xiuwen die?" ”

He sighed and said, "I heard from the host that Master Xiuwen had traveled abroad and had not returned for several years, and when he came back, he was holding a pair of jade bottles with a pair of spiritual weapons in his arms, which was placed on the table on the east wall. ”

The old monk walked to the table, "That night, he ate vegetarian food, bathed in incense, and began to chant the Great Compassion Mantra, and has never been out of the house since. “

Liya was puzzled and said, "Master, why are you reciting the Great Compassion Mantra?" If it's for transcendence, isn't it better to have the Jizo Sutra? ”

I also looked at the old monk, I didn't study the Dharma, I don't know what the difference is between the Dizang Sutra and the Great Compassion Mantra, but I also wondered, why the Great Compassion Mantra?

Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, there are several kinds of scripture mantras that transcend the dead, and it is not an accident that the text chooses the Great Compassion Mantra, right?

The old monk shook his head and sighed: "I don't know the reason for this matter. ”

The doubts in my heart were even heavier, so I inadvertently turned my head to look into the room, and after a moment of hesitation, I entered the room.

"You can't go in." The old monk suddenly shouted, I paused, looked back, and found that he was talking to Yang Hao.

He stopped in front of Yang Hao and said, "Except for that girl, you can't enter this bedroom." ”

"Why?" Yang Hao asked vigilantly.

The old monk looked at me and smiled with wrinkles on his face, "The previous host explained that if a girl with a back similar to the woman in the painting came over, she could enter the bedroom." ”

My heart jumped, and I was busy telling Yang Hao: "It's okay for me to come in by myself." ”

Yang Hao glanced at the old monk deeply, suddenly bent down and picked up the little monk on the ground, and said while walking into the courtyard: "Go, my brother will take you to eat candy." ”

The little monk blinked his little eyes and laughed out of two small dimples, "Okay, brother, why is your hair so long?" ”

Yang Hao paused, returned to normal in an instant, and replied casually: "I like long hair." ”

My eyes were deep, looking at Yang Hao's head, and I was really surprised that this kid could see the ancient ghost in Yang Hao's body.

The old monk jumped to his feet angrily, "You actually threatened me with a child." ”

As he spoke, he chased him out.

Li Jingzhi looked at me with complicated eyes, opened his mouth to say something to me first, but in the end he didn't say anything, closed the door, and left with Liya.

I took a deep breath and looked at this room carefully, it was an ordinary monk's meditation room, and there was nothing special about it.

Finally, I turned around and sat down on the bed, and my hand suddenly felt cold, like a hand on the back of my hand.

"You're finally here." The clear, warm voice sounded again, and it was in my ears.

I froze, turned my head mechanically, and saw a man sitting next to me, but his body was weak.

Bald, baby-faced, with a faint smile on his face, he is a simple big boy, but his eyes are compassionate, adding a bit of solemnity.

He looked ahead, did not turn his head, and sighed: "I have used all my strength to snatch the artifact back, but I still can't save your soul after all." ”

Before I could speak, he had already continued: "You once swore to break off with Xiao Yuen, and now this vow is afraid that it will be difficult to fulfill, he will definitely use all means to nourish your soul, I have not been able to help you expel the anger in your body, you must remember to cultivate yourself, don't fall into their trap again." ”

I listened quietly, no longer interjecting, and understood what was going on.

He's not talking to me, he's just finishing what he wants to say, and he doesn't have a mind at all.

There should be a mechanism on this bed.

After saying these words, he suddenly turned his head to look at me, but his eyes did not focus on my face, but said in this direction: "I can't protect you anymore, I have to be good." ”

With that, the voice slowly faded away.

I looked at the place where he had just sat in a daze, and before I knew it, my face was full of tears.

"Xiuwen......" I subconsciously shouted.

I closed my eyes, rubbed my face, wiped away my tears, and rolled over the bed for a long time before finally finding a blackened stone chip under my buttocks.

At a glance, I recognized that it was a Yin stone, but it had been flattened.

I took the stone piece into my arms, got up, and bowed to the bed, "Xiuwen, thank you." ”

When I opened the door and went out of the house, I saw Yang Hao sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding the little monk who had fallen asleep in his arms, and the old monk looked at him angrily.

Li Jingzhi and Liya are not there.

I went over and asked curiously, "Where did Liya and Li Jingzhi go?" ”

Yang Hao replied: "They said that there was an acquaintance nearby, and he went to meet him." ”

It's good luck to run so far and meet acquaintances.

I didn't pay much attention to it, they weren't there, so it was more convenient to speak, "Master, when was the artifact in this room taken away?" ”

The old monk's face was embarrassed, Yang Hao snorted lightly, and his hand went to the little monk's neck.

"Nineteen years ago, on the first night I took over as host, when the previous host was still there, a young man with a black umbrella came to the host, and when the host saw the black umbrella in his hand, he handed him the artifact." The old monk hurriedly said.

Yang Hao hooked the corners of his mouth and tightened the neckline of the little monk.

When I heard this, my heart was shocked, "Master, are you sure it's a person?" ”

As soon as I heard him say the black umbrella, I immediately thought of Xiao Yu, but he was obviously a ghost.

The old monk said affirmatively: "I can still tell whether it is a human or a ghost, and he is obviously a person." ”

I hurriedly took out my phone and found a photo of Xiao Yu, which I secretly took while he was sleeping when he became a human before.

"Is that the man?" I asked.

The old monk slapped his thigh, and spit excitedly: "Yes, it's him, there is definitely something wrong with this person, after he took away the artifact, the host said that he was ashamed of Master Xiuwen, guilt and self-blame, and the person was gone in two days." ”

I exhaled and reconfirmed with him, "Are you sure he's been here for fifteen years, not a few months ago?" ”

"Nineteen years ago, absolutely." The old monk cut the railway.

I tugged at the corners of my mouth, feeling my steps fluttering, and I forced myself to thank him.

He waved his hand and looked at the little monk in Yang Hao's hand.

Yang Hao got up, carried the little monk back to the room, covered him with a quilt, and then came out.

The old monk didn't care about us, so he went directly into the house to guard the little monk, for fear that we would run away.

Seeing that Yang Hao was still standing in the courtyard, the old monk snorted heavily and closed the doors and windows.

I smiled, thanks to the fact that there was nothing of value in this temple, otherwise we would have emptied, and he wouldn't have known.

"The little monk is very powerful." I told Yang Hao.

He nodded, "It's a good seedling." ”

As we walked out, he suddenly said, "Tuzi, you are eighteen years old this year. ”

"Yes, I ......" I paused abruptly and looked at Yang Hao in surprise.

I just thought that Xiao Yu was a person at that time, and ignored nineteen years ago.

He said lightly: "I suspect that there was a soul on that artifact back then. ”

In the house just now, Xiu Wen said that he desperately snatched back the spirit weapon to expel the anger on my body.

If you want to say this, it was Xiao Yu who took away the soul that Xiuwen snatched back, ran to Nantaizi Village, and used means to let Lao Yu match my mother and Yu Xuemin for a night and give birth to me.

After that, he used the dragon qi on the dwarf bun to arrange the soul array.

Yang Hao sneered and said, "For so many years, I haven't been able to understand where he found this soul, it turns out that he snatched it from Xiuwen. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "A pair of artifacts, he took one, what about the other?" ”

Of this pair of jade bottles, one was pressed into the Huangpizi Tomb, and the other fell into Uncle Zhang's hands through the Tianji Pavilion.

It is very likely that the one in the yellow skin grave was taken by Xiao Yu, and how did the one in Uncle Zhang's hand fall into the hands of Tianji Pavilion?

Yang Hao frowned and said: "Since Xiao Yu can find here, it is not strange that the people from Tianji Pavilion have come to him, as for giving it to Uncle Zhang as a prize for victory, the cat here needs to ask Tianji Pavilion." ”

I pulled my hair, and as soon as I realized how I was born, there was another bunch of questions, and it was really crazy.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang said that after Tianji Pavilion was given to him by the jade bottle, he once sent someone to ask for it." I suddenly remembered this, "Will it be ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Hao shook his head at me and motioned me to look back with his eyes.

When I looked over, I saw Li Jingzhi, Liya and Zhao Junmu standing not far away, Xu saw me first, and the three of them were walking this way.

It turned out that the acquaintance they were talking about was Zhao Junmu.

"Congratulations, you did a great job last time." Zhao Junmu said with a smile.

I smiled and exchanged polite compliments with her.

"I originally wanted to go to Liya's house to find you, but since I met here, I told me about the matter, and I saved another trip." She finally cut to the chase.

I cheered up and listened as she continued, "Your second assignment to Yutong has been assigned. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, and her face was a little heavy, "This time it was personally appointed by Daoist Master Tianji to kill Xiao Yu." ”

"What?" I was stunned.

Zhao Junmu explained: "You should have heard of the Tianji Chase and Kill List, Xiao Yu is the only one who has been on the list and is still alive, and the reason why he is on the list is because he killed the only daughter of the Tianji Daoist. ”

Of course I know, but let me kill Xiao Yu, isn't it funny?

I hurriedly said, "No, I won't go." ”

Zhao Junmu shook his head at me, "You don't have the right to refuse, this is what Daoist Tianji personally ordered." ”

I couldn't help but sneer, "So what? It's a big deal, let me go to the Tianji chase and kill list together, and let him send someone to hunt me down. ”

This feeling of being controlled is really uncomfortable.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, in three days, Daoist Tianji is just coming here, and you can talk to him face to face when the time comes." Zhao Junmu said helplessly: "I'm just a messenger, you tell me that it doesn't have much effect." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then reacted for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After speaking, Zhao Junmu said that she lived in Yunji in the city, and she could go to her if she had something.

Li Jingzhi and Liya said that they would go to her for dinner and catch up when they were free, and she left.

"Li Jingzhi ......" Yang Hao suddenly said: "I have some money here, please find someone to buy some rice, noodles, vegetable oil and clothes and send them to the Jokhang Temple, it is better to repair this place." ”

As he spoke, he took out a card and handed it over.

Li Jingzhi didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I still have the money to take care of the two masters in the temple." “

Hearing this, Yang Hao didn't insist for a second, and immediately withdrew his bank card, "Then I'll thank you for them." ”

Me: "......"

Li Jingzhi snorted and went to the side to make a call.

I whispered to Liya, "Your senior brother is very rich?" ”

She nodded, "The last time I took you out of Yimen, the luxury car I took was my brother's, his parents are businessmen, and they are quite successful." ”

No wonder Uncle Zhang died in the hotel last time, scaring so many guests, he didn't take it seriously, and the co-author was not bad for money.

I squatted on the ground and said melancholy: "You are not normal people, why are you low-key rich, and I am really poor?" ”

If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't have gotten on the thief ship of the Tianji Pavilion, which has put me in a dilemma now.

Yang Hao said lightly: "My money has been saved for thousands of years, Li Jingzhi is lucky, as for you, ......"

He smiled, "Go ask Xiao Yu, he arranged for you to be born in Nantaizi Village." ”

I was choked up and speechless, unable to refute it.

I pinched the copper coin sword, and I wanted to be a ghost even more.

Not long after Li Jingzhi hung up the phone, someone drove a big truck over, with firewood, rice, oil and salt, kitchen utensils, snacks and toys, all available.

Liya wondered, "Why is it so troublesome?" Just give the money to the Taoist chief. ”

Yang Hao explained: "The old monk is old, and the location here is remote, so it is inconvenient for him to go out and buy it by himself, and there are only two of them in this place, the old and the young, who have too much money and are easy to be robbed." ”

Liya suddenly admired Yang Hao even more, and quietly came to my side and said, "Your brother is so careful." ”

I sat on the steps, thinking about Xiuwen, but didn't listen to her words, "Liya, have you heard of the first year of Jianlong, there was a monk named Xiuwen?" ”

She put away her joking expression, thought about it carefully, and said for a while: "In the official history and wild history I have read, I have not seen a monk named Xiuwen, but there may be records, but I haven't read it." ”

I nodded, I haven't seen it in the official history or the wild history.

"Tuzi, in fact, whether it is Buddha or Tao, many powerful people related to ghosts and monsters are not recorded, and those who can be immortalized are people with thoughts and achievements." Liya said.

I understand what she means, like many Taoist masters with high skills in the Tao are passed down by word of mouth, and if they can be passed on, only future generations will know about it, and few others will know about it.

"Xiuwen disappeared suddenly." Li Jingzhi said suddenly.

I was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

He stared at me and said seriously: "I pay special attention to all people and things related to Yin Long, and the old man who used to cultivate witchcraft in the southwest said that Master Xiuwen was very famous in the southwest and was kind and easy-going, but then he suddenly disappeared." ”

In the southwest, the ancestors of the Yu family are in the southwest.

However, Lao Yu Tou said that the Yu family fell a hundred years ago, but Master Xiuwen was a person who lived in the Song Dynasty, so the artifact that Xiuwen took had nothing to do with Yu Yu.

As for the woman with one soul and seven spirits, he is the daughter of the Tianji Dao Chief, and the Tianji Dao Leader is still alive, and it is impossible for him to have anything to do with Xiuwen.

The artifact was used by the original woman with all three souls, and the people who cultivated the text and others were indeed me after the three souls returned to their places.

I covered my heart, and I began to wonder, the three souls and seven spirits are complete, why my memory is still only eighteen years?

No wonder Xiao Yu asked me today when I would come back, I am still a remnant of Nantaizi Village, not the original woman.

Tsk, this is a group of infatuated lovers running after me, and in the end it turns out to be a joke, and I am not the woman they are waiting for at all.

"That'...... Where did Xiuwen snatch the artifact? I muttered.

After speaking, he suddenly looked at Yang Hao and ran to him, "Where is the sister you are looking for buried?" ”

His face was full of surprise, but then he frowned and did not speak.

I grabbed his sleeve and asked, "You have also lived for thousands of years, and you are still so familiar with Xiao Yu, you must know." ”

He smiled bitterly: "She left resolutely, arranged for someone to destroy the tomb and body after her death, if Xiao Yu didn't arrive in time, it would be the result of a soul scattered, thousands of years of vicissitudes, and now there is no trace." ”

I really wanted to know what happened to the woman and Xiao Yu back then, so I asked Yang Hao, but he avoided answering.

I was so anxious that I was scratching my heart and lungs, and I was even more angry in my heart, intellectually I already believed that the woman was me, but I always felt that she and I were two people.

Suddenly, I had a feeling of investigating my man and other women in love, so aggrieved.

Handle the affairs in the temple, we were just about to leave, when we heard the old monk say: "In Shunyang Street in the city, there are a few shops selling antiques, if you have time to go and see, maybe there will be a harvest." ”

When the words fell, he closed the temple door.

Old monk, this is to show us the way?

I asked Yang Hao with my eyes, to go or not to go?

"Go!" He said.

Li Jingzhi and Liya also agreed.

"We still have to stay in the city for three days, so it's okay to go and see it." Liya said.

I was stunned, I really have to stay, I want to see the face of the Tianji Daoist.

Opening the car door, Yang Hao suddenly stopped, his face instantly sank, turned around and walked back quickly.

The little monk actually stood at the gate of the temple, pouting, and looking at us pitifully.

Yang Hao squatted in front of him, his voice cold, "Go back." ”

The little monk didn't speak, but looked at me with tears in his eyes.

I covered my face and didn't dare to look at him, for fear that I would be soft-hearted and take him away.

After a while, the door on my side suddenly opened, and then my legs sank, and when I turned my head, I saw the little monk sitting on my lap obediently.

"Bring?" I went to the temple to see, and the old monk who was protecting the cub didn't come out, all of which was deliberately asked us to take him away?

Yang Hao nodded, "The old monk asked us to bring it." ”

I thought about it, and yes, if no one opened the door for him, he wouldn't come out himself.

The little monk sat quietly all the way and didn't speak, and Liya and I coaxed him for a long time, but I didn't ask his name.

We came all the way to Shunyang Street, parked the car, Yang Hao walked in front with the little monk in his arms, and we followed behind.

Originally, the little monk was lying on his shoulder, and when he passed by a shop, he suddenly straightened up and stared straight at the shop.

This is a grocery store on the corner of the street, the name is very simple, Lao Wan grocery store, and the lights in the store are all old-fashioned bulbs.

"Be careful." After Yang Hao finished speaking, he went in with the little monk in his arms.

As soon as he entered the store, the little monk trembled slightly, and his two little hands were clenched tightly, not daring to raise his head.

I took the copper coin sword out of my bag, and after walking a few steps around the store, I had a chill on my back.

There was an inexplicable panic in my heart.

I tugged at Yang Hao's sleeve, "Let's go out first." ”

But he didn't move, but shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”

I'm in a hurry, this is going to happen!

No one agreed.

"Ahh The little monk pointed behind me and shouted, I was covered in hair, and the chill completely enveloped me, I swung my sword and hit it with my backhand, and jumped back two steps at the same time.

I saw a figure flashing by, just like that, I looked around again, and they were all gone.

I snorted coldly, and the bronze coin sword drew a circle in the air, silently reciting the lightning spell, and my eyes were fixed on the roof, which I couldn't see on the ground, but I could see a black shadow circling around me from the roof.

"Hurry to curse!" I let out a loud shout and hit my backhand to the left.

The thunder did not sound, and a pair of hands caught my copper coin sword, and I used a lot of strength, but I couldn't pull it out.

But it was just a pair of hands, and I didn't see the whole body.

Did he use a ghost to cover his eyes?

Ghost blinding sounds simple, if you encounter a powerful ghost, you can't easily crack it.

Suddenly, I felt a cool breeze coming towards my stomach, and I didn't dodge, I just stretched out my legs and kicked at the cool breeze, turning the copper coin sword.

The hands were forced to let go of the copper coin sword, and at the same time, with a thud, I kicked the man in the leg.

I took a few steps back and said coldly, "Who the hell is it?" ”

"It's far worse than her." When the words fell, white light suddenly lit up on all sides.

At some point, a chair had been placed in front of the grocery store, and a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting on it.

Yang Hao and the three of them were all held behind the chairs, and the little monk hugged Yang Hao's legs, not daring to turn his head.

Zhao Junmu stood on the right side of the chair and moved his mouth silently.

Seeing the shape of her mouth clearly, my heart sank, this is the chief of the Tianji Dao!
