Qingfeng Xu is an old man in his nineties, and he has not left this place since he came to Gezi Village on the eastern outskirts of Harbin City when he was sixty years old. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

No one in this village knows whether this old man has children or not, anyway, since Qingfeng Xu arrived here, he has always appeared in everyone's sight as a person, and everyone only knows that the old man's name is Qingfeng Xu, and he really doesn't know anything else.

However, at the beginning of 2011, two unfamiliar faces came to Gezi Village, far away at the foot of the suburban mountain, and after these two unfamiliar faces appeared in the village, they walked directly to a courtyard house made of blue bricks at the east end of the village, which was closest to the field.

The two men, a man and a woman, were both dressed in dark gray tracksuits, and both had one thing in common: they both wore a black silk glove on their left hand.

The expressions of the two people seemed indifferent, but there was a hint of anxiety between the corners of their eyebrows and eyes.

Fortunately, the entrance of the village was not too far from the blue brick house, and the two of them walked in less than two minutes to meet the curious eyes of some villagers before they came to the door of this courtyard house.

When they reached the door, they both stopped, and their four eyes looked at the north room in the courtyard at the same time.

"Senior Brother Lu, we've finally caught up!" The expression on the woman's face was very excited, as if she cared very much about the time she had come here, but the man known as Senior Brother Lu did not have any joy, but after the woman said this, she stretched out her hand and pushed open the fence gate in front of her!

After the fence door was pushed open, the two of them walked in briskly, and followed them to the north room they had just seen.

This Senior Brother Lu stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain on the door, then walked a few steps to the side of the earthen kang in the house, knelt down abruptly in front of an old man lying on the kang, and shouted in a very cold voice: "Master, I am too late for my little sister!" ”

The little junior sister also knelt down, and looked at the old man who was smiling and still had a breath left, and shed two tears, "Master, the apprentice is not filial, the apprentice is not filial!" ”

The old man on the bed had a very bad complexion, and except for the folds on his face, anyone could tell that the old man should not have much time left.

The old man reluctantly raised his hand, and then said in a very ugly voice: "Hehe, heh, it's not too late, I'm not dead!" Besides, you have done a great thing, and I still understand this truth. ”

The little junior sister grabbed the old hand like a dry claw in the breeze, and then said in a trembling voice: "Don't talk about the master, my senior brother and I will take you to the hospital." As she spoke, the little junior sister wanted to pull Qingfeng Xu's arm and help him up.

But what I didn't expect was that when the little junior sister pulled like this, Qingfeng Xu's body didn't move at all, and even the little junior sister herself was pulled to the side of the bed by Qingfeng Xu.

Qingfeng slowly shook his head with a smile while pulling his little sister's hand, and then said with a smile: "Don't bother, my disease is not a cold, it can't be cured!" Xiao Lu, you also get up, for the teacher before he dies, he has a few words, I have to explain to the two of you! ”

Senior Brother Lu nodded and stood up from the ground, and then grabbed Qingfeng Xu's arm with the little junior sister, and looked at the old man on the kang in front of him with a sad face.

Qingfeng Xu looked at his two disciples, and then said: "Your skills are enough to be independent, but now in the rivers and lakes, no one recognizes our ghost merchant faction, so ah, after I die, what you have to do is to let our ghost merchant be recognized by all your colleagues in the rivers and lakes again." ”

The little junior sister shook her head and wanted to say something, but Qingfeng Xu stopped her and said, "I know what the girl wants to say, but you have to listen to me first." ”

After saying this, Qingfeng Xu's tone suddenly changed to stern: "Our ghost merchant faction has actually begun to decline since the Qing Dynasty, if you trace back to the root, you have to trace it back to a person named Wang Luxian in the early Qing Dynasty, but these are no longer important, the important thing is that you have to go to the ghost heavy purgatory to find a treasure soldier, and then with the help of the power of the treasure soldier, make our ghost merchant faction rise again!" ”

Senior Brother Lu frowned and said, "Master, the Ghost Heavy Purgatory is something in the record, and there will be no one in this world!" ”

Qingfeng Xu hoarsely laughed in his voice: "Hahaha, how do you know that there won't be, master, what have I been here for half my life!" ”

"You mean, that ghost heavy purgatory is in the eastern suburbs of Harbin City!" Senior Brother Lu and Little Senior Sister immediately showed a look of surprise, as if at this moment, the two of them had forgotten about Qingfeng Xu's imminent death.

Qingfeng Xu nodded, then raised his left hand with a black silk glove and pointed out the window and said: "From this village, further east is the eastern suburbs of the mountains, and the ghost heavy purgatory is over there, but unfortunately I couldn't find its specific location, old man, I can only rely on some spirit ghosts to feel the aura of purgatory!" Ahem, ahem! ”

Before he finished speaking, Qingfeng Xu suddenly coughed, and when he coughed, a trace of black blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Master~!"

The little junior sister was startled, and hurriedly rubbed Qingfeng Xu's chest, then turned her head and shouted to Senior Brother Lu: "What else are you looking at, why don't you hurry up and find a doctor!" ”

Qingfeng Xu pulled the little junior sister for a moment, and then continued to say in a stern tone: "No need to go, I can't hold it anymore, you remember, the ghost heavy purgatory is in the deep mountains in the eastern suburbs, there is a treasure soldier there, you must get this treasure soldier to revitalize our ghosts, business, and faction~!" ”

The last bit of carbon spark in the carbon stove in the house was extinguished with the breath of the breeze, and at the moment when the spark was extinguished, the temperature in the whole room instantly began to become cold, and it seemed that the warm temperature in the house just now had lasted until now by relying on this little carbon fire.

The little junior sister hugged Qingfengxu's body and cried silently, and Senior Brother Lu's face no longer had that cold feeling.

A long cry rang out from here and rang out outside the house, and the nearest families rushed to hear it.

The people in the village seemed to have a deep affection for Qingfeng Xu, and they didn't know what the old man had done before, anyway, all the villagers who rushed to hear the news knelt in front of Qingfeng Xu's bed and cried loudly.

The village chief of Gezi Village was called Ge Dagen, and when he heard the news of Qingfeng Xu's death, the small blue brick house was already full of people.

Ge Dagen squeezed and crawled to the side of Qingfeng Xu's bed, and kowtowed heavily to the old man on the kang and said: "Old man, Gezi Village is your children, all your descendants, let the children bury your golden body for you today!" ”

It stands to reason that Senior Brother Lu and Little Sister should say something in this situation, but strangely, the two of them also knelt beside Qingfeng Xu's bed, not only did they not say anything, but even cried with the others.

In the end, the two apprentices and the people in the village carried Qingfengxu's body to the ground at the east end of the village and cremated it, and also sprinkled the cremated ashes into a small river not far from Gezi Village.

According to the rules, the cremated ashes should be buried in a place to make a grave, but Qingfeng Xu's two apprentices said that the master likes water, and they have already told them not to arrange a grave for him after the master dies.

It was also at this time that Ge Dagen knew that these two faces with extraordinary temperament were Qingfeng Xu's apprentices, since the old man had an explanation before his death, he simply did what these two apprentices said.

After the funeral was finished and everyone was gone, the two apprentices took advantage of the dead of night to discuss the master's deathbed explanation.

The little junior sister lit the stove and said to Senior Brother Lu: "Senior brother, the matter that the master explained before his death is a big deal, and now that the master is gone, you are the person with the highest rank in the ghost merchant faction, and now it's time for you to decide these big things." ”

Senior Brother Lu sat on the edge of the kang and smoked a cigarette and was silent, and after a long time, he said in a cold tone: "No matter who makes the final decision, we have to do what the master has to do anyway." ”

"But the master's superb Taoism has not allowed the ghost merchant faction to rise, and now with the two of us, can we really fulfill the master's last wish?"

Senior Brother Lu glanced at his little junior sister, and then looked at the darkness outside along the wooden window frame without window paper: "The two of us will definitely not be able to do it alone, but our ghost merchant faction relies on the ability to become more with all kinds of brilliance, and the current situation is just in line with the state of our ghost merchant faction when it was just born." ”

The little junior sister's eyes lit up, and then she showed a joyful expression and said, "Could it be that you want to open your eyes and borrow your soul?" ”

Senior Brother Lu didn't answer this question but continued to look at the darkness outside and said, "Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the two of us must come out of the mountains, otherwise, the yin ghosts will invade the body and go the other way." In that case, our ghost merchant sect will really be wiped out! ”

The little sister nodded, then raised her left hand with a black glove, and pointed her index and middle fingers at the center of her eyebrows.

The little sister slowly closed her eyes, and then saw that her lips seemed to be trembling slightly, as if she was chanting some incantation, but after less than a moment, the curtain at the door of the hut suddenly shook, and then I saw a very vague shadow come in while the curtain was shaking.

"Help me find the specific location of the Ghost Heavy Purgatory, this is the reward you want!"

As soon as this shadow appeared, the little junior sister opened her eyes, and then with her right hand, she took out a strange yellow talisman from her pocket and shot it towards the shadow bullet.

Huang Fu hit the black shadow's chest in the blink of an eye, and then the excited voice of a third person sounded in the room: "I am willing to be the power of dogs and horses for the long term." As soon as the words fell, I saw the black shadow bow deeply to the little junior sister, and then brought a yin wind and left here with the second shaking of the cloth curtain.

After the yin wind was completely silent, Senior Brother Lu's face showed a rare smile, "Senior Sister, your spirit ghost skills are powerful again!" ”

The little junior sister's left hand was put down, and then she smiled slightly: "Hehe, it depends on who you compare with, you are indeed much more powerful than senior brother!" ”

Early the next morning, the village chief Ge Dagen came to this small green brick courtyard with a pot of white-flour steamed buns, and as soon as he entered the gate, he shouted at the north house with his throat: "Xiao Lu, are you up?" I've brought you some steamed buns and salty porridge, so eat them while they're hot! ”

shouted several words in a row, but no one spoke in the north house, and Ge Dagen couldn't hold the pot and couldn't make a move, so he simply came to the door and hit the old wooden door behind the curtain in the north house with his shoulder.

But before Ge Dagen's shoulders leaned up, the wooden door creaked and opened by itself, and then Ge Dagen felt a cool air blowing out of the crack in the door.

"Huh? Where did the people go? ”

Ge Dagen twisted into the house, but found that the house was cleaned, and the two male and female apprentices who claimed to be Qingfeng Xu yesterday were not in the house.

Ge Dagen put the pot in his hand on an oil table, then walked to the stove and stretched out his hand to feel the temperature on the stove wall and said, "Ah, this stove is so cold, the fire inside will have to be extinguished for at least two hours." Could it be that those two people were gone last night? ”

With doubts, Ge Dagen wanted to go back with the pot, but when he came to the oil table again and was about to hold the pot, he found that a note appeared on one of the corners of the oil table.

"Huh? I don't remember a note here, huh? Could it be that I didn't see it just now? ”

The more Ge Dagen thought about it, the more strange it became, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand and picked up the note, but as soon as the note was opened, he found that there was a thick pile of red hundred-yuan bills under the note.

"Village Chief Ge, my master has caused you a lot of trouble by living in your village for so many years, hehe, this is a little bit of a tribute, and I hope you accept it."

"My sister and I have something important to go first, and after we leave, this house will trouble you to take care of it more, maybe one day in the future, there will be strange people in your village, if someone really comes, please arrange the guests from afar in this small courtyard!" Little Rikuru! ”

After reading the note, the village chief sighed, and immediately wrapped the note and the wad of money into his pocket.

"Hey, it seems that one day in the future, there will be people living in this blue brick courtyard!"

After saying this, the village chief picked up the big pot containing the steamed buns and went out of the house, and after he closed the wooden door, he stood in the courtyard for a while before leaving here completely.

In the end, the village chief didn't know where Qingfeng Xu's two apprentices went, but in his opinion, the two young people's farewell without saying goodbye must be excusable.

However, just as the village chief of Gezi left this small courtyard thinking about these things, a loud noise suddenly appeared in the deep mountains where Gezi Village was still a hundred and ten miles to the east, and immediately after, a large group of birds flew up in the place where the noise occurred, and these birds all rose to the sky in a state of fleeing for their lives.

Of course, the villagers and the head of the pavilion in the village didn't know this, but by the time they did, it was already three months later!
