I:...... I couldn't help but give Li Duangong a roll of my eyes.

The second grandfather suddenly asked, "Li Duangong, who is that black-shirted man?" ”

I asked the same question before, but Li Duangong didn't dare to say it, and of course he won't say it now.

He stared at me, more and more appreciative, and paused for a while before saying, "Zhang boy, anyway, you listen to me, and when he comes to you, you will kneel down and worship him as a teacher, and make sure you can't suffer losses." ”

After Li Duangong said this, let us go back. It's useless to stay here.

On the way back, the second grandfather asked me a few more words about the man in the black shirt, and I also met him for the first time, and I didn't know much, so I couldn't say why.

When I got home, it was already three or four o'clock, and the second grandfather was going to the corpse recovery team to deal with some things, and I went home by myself. Although Li Duangong said that, I still don't know the bottom of my heart, and I don't know if the black-shirted man will come back to me?

Looking at my grandfather's body, I was a little distracted.

In the evening, I made a meal. Before eating, I also offered incense to the river god and begged him to bless my grandfather with peace and well.

I sat down at the table and had just eaten two bites when I looked up and saw a man in a black shirt with long braids standing in my doorway. I was stunned for a while, but he had a clear mind and asked, "Zhang Yan, have you thought about what name you want to give me?" ”

I said I had thought about it, and then I knelt down in front of the black-shirted man with a plop, kowtowed and called out to the master.

But before he could knock his head down, he put his toe against my head and said, "I'll help you, don't hurt me." Get up. ”

I thought about what Li Duangong said, and now that he has confiscated me as an apprentice, where am I willing to get up, I said: "Master, you haven't promised me to accept me as an apprentice." ”

He couldn't laugh or cry, but there was an expression on his face, and he said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't accept you as an apprentice, you get up first." ”

When I saw that he agreed, I hurried up and called the master first.

He didn't answer. But said lightly: "Now that I have a name, I can help you with my name, and I believe that some people don't dare to say anything." ”

I didn't understand the meaning of this, it was already night, and I was afraid that something would happen to my grandfather, so I told him about the theft of the dead king. But he said that he was not in a hurry, you call me a master now, you don't even know my name, it's not good, remember Zhang Yan, my name is Yuan Zhen.

I made a silent note in my heart, and of course I didn't dare to call him by his real name. I called the master, and brought up my grandfather's matter again.

Yuan Zhen told me not to worry, and said that he guaranteed that the person who stole the Dead King Eight would not see the water ghost tonight. If you don't see the water ghost, the deal won't be done, so my grandfather will be fine.

I breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Zhen sat down, I quickly took a pair of dishes and chopsticks for Yuan Zhen, and Yuan Zhen didn't say anything. After sitting down, he asked me, "Zhang Yan, is there a woman crying in your house today?" ”

I hummed, wondering how he knew, and asked.

He said that he saw it during the day, but he did not enter the door. He went on to say that it is not a good thing for a widow to cry and mourn. What does she say to you?

When I think of widows, I think of women who asked me for bracelets.

I glanced at Yuan Zhen, and Yuan Zhen told me not to have any worries, even though it was.

In order to save my grandfather, I had nothing to hide, so I immediately told me everything I had seen about the girl. Yuan Zhen said something, a little interesting, and then asked me if I finished eating? Come with me when you're done.

Where to go, I asked?

He said, "Didn't you say you were going to worship that girl?" It's just the right time.

I'm going to the graveyard in the middle of the night, okay? My heart was beating a drum.

Yuan Zhen asked me, do you still want to save your grandfather? After I heard this, I immediately packed up the ingots candle. After going out, passing by the second grandfather's house, I asked the second grandfather to take care of my grandfather at home, and the second grandfather saw Yuan Zhen and said a few soft words, begging him to save my grandfather.

Yuan Zhen stared at my second grandfather a few times, said a word, and did his best.

We walked towards Turtle Ridge in the North Mountain. The reason why it is called Turtle Ridge is that the shape of the mountain looks like a turtle's back, and the second is the legend that the turtle prime minister of the East China Sea died here, and this is a rare place where blessings gather. Therefore, the nearby villagers want to bury their deceased relatives here so that they can protect future generations.

As time passed, Turtle Ridge became a mountain of graves.

When we arrived at Turtle Ridge, the flashlight looked lonely on the mountain, and a gust of wind blew, and the back seemed to be cold. I couldn't help but turn my head to look. There are tombstones one after another, at least hundreds.

It is not easy to find Xiao Wanwan.

Yuan Zhen seemed to be full of confidence and said to me that young people who had just died could not erect monuments according to custom, so all those who had tombstones should be ignored. And it's just dead, and there must be a new wreath on it, and a paper horse man.

After listening to Yuan Zhen, my eyes immediately locked on a tomb.

Because of this grave, there are these things on that grave, but when I got closer, I was pale with fright, and my scalp was numb, and I saw that all the newly covered soil had been dug up, and a coffin was placed next to the tomb, and the coffin board had been lifted.

But there were no bodies inside.

I was a little weak-hearted, but it was the first time I encountered this kind of thing, and I couldn't help but be afraid.

I asked Yuan Zhen with fear in my voice, Master, where did this corpse go?

Yuan Zhen squatted down, sniffed, and said, "The body is gone, either it was stolen, or this girl is not dead at all." It's just that it's unlikely that you're not dead, and if you bury it under it for two or three days, you can't live if you don't come out. Look at the soil, it looks like it has just been dug up, and you can see that there are footprints. ”

I followed the direction pointed by Yuan Zhen to look, and sure enough, there were footprints.

The footprints were not big, more like a girl's footprints...... Could it be that this girl is cheating the corpse?

I glanced into the coffin, and at this time, there were suddenly two ugly screams, Yuan Zhen immediately dragged me, I took a few steps back, and then saw two black shadows flying out of the coffin, and the black shadows quickly disappeared from my sight.

I was horrified and asked what it was. Why is the scream so ugly?

Yuan Zhen's voice also became a little colder, the crow reported the funeral, it was too bold, Zhang Yan has become my apprentice, do you still want his life?

Yuan Zhen's eyes swept around, and the volume continued to increase, and no one responded after speaking.

But hearing Yuan Zhen's words, I couldn't help but shudder, is there anyone who wants my life now?

Yuan Zhen probably knew what I was thinking, so he said: "Don't worry, Zhang Yan, since you have worshiped me as a teacher, I will protect you thoroughly, now I will take you to find someone to ask what is going on?" ”

I hummed, now I have identified Yuan Zhen, and followed Yuan Zhen to the Yellow River, probably where I found my grandfather's body. Yuan Zhen stood by the river, with his hands behind his back, looking full of aura. He said to me, "Zhang Yan, if you burn some paper money by the river, you will say that it is for the water ghosts."

I was stunned for a moment, not saying this.

Yuan Zhen told me not to think so much, just do what he said.

I have come to this point, and I have no other choice, so I began to burn paper money by the Yellow River, muttering about the water ghost to collect money.

It may be that I am close to the Yellow River, and when I burn paper money, I feel cold. I looked at the river. The water was not turbulent tonight, but as I burned the paper money, the water surface that was not turbulent suddenly became larger.

Immediately I felt a chill at my ankle, looked down and saw a hand grabbing my ankle.

I stepped back in fright, but Yuan Zhen yelled at this time: "Don't get out yet." ”

After the words, the water surface seemed to be broken, and a black shadow came out of the water, slowly turning into a human form, and the picture was a little grotesque and shocking.

I stood behind Yuan Zhen.

When he saw us, he asked, "Who are you, who are burning paper by the river in the middle of the night and calling me out, is there anything wrong?" As he spoke, his eyes were still fixed on me.

Yuan Zhen asked directly: "Recently, a girl drowned by the river, can you help me find out if there is such a thing?" ”

The water ghost said, who are you, why do you give orders to me, I only listen to the river god, just look at this person, like a person who has been drowned a long time ago, why is he still alive? As he spoke, its gaze fell on me, and it walked towards me.

Just as he got closer, Yuan Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it on the water ghost's chest, and in an instant, the water ghost's chest was dented.

Yuan Zhen immediately asked: "If you don't want to be scattered, just return to my question truthfully." ”
