When Master Li heard this, his complexion changed slightly, and his fat figure made him look a little funny. He instructed the man who had just scolded us, saying, "Steward, go and see." ”

The butler replied yes, and ran over.

Cao Tianshi, who was sitting in the center of the main hall, didn't make any movement, and his eyelids didn't lift. It doesn't seem to take us seriously at all.

Mr. Li let us drink tea and waited for a quarter of an hour. The housekeeper ran back in a hurry, and said breathlessly: "Master, he is right, the iron cables that dropped the coffin are broken, and the coffin falls to the ground." ”

Master Li couldn't hold back anymore and shouted, "Then what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and lift the coffin." ”

The butler hurriedly ran over with the people.

Master Li turned around and entered the room and asked Cao Tianshi, "Heavenly Master, what can I do now?" ”

I was a little speechless, these things were obviously said by Daoist Qiu, he didn't ask Daoist Qiu, but asked Tianshi Cao. Cao Tianshi raised his eyelids and said, "With me here, I can guarantee that Linglang is fine." ”

When Master Li heard this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

There was also a Taoist boy standing next to Cao Tianshi, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his facial features were also marked.

Daoist Qiu suddenly asked, "I don't know if the Heavenly Master has any way to save Old Master Li's child?" ”

Cao Tianshi's eyelids drooped again, as if he didn't bother to talk to Daoist Qiu. But the Taoist boy beside Cao Tianshi opened his mouth and said: "With my master here, Master Li's son will definitely be fine, my master is a closed disciple of Zhong Kui Tianshi, and he is also the new land master of Turing Town." ”

After these words fell, I was blindfolded for a few seconds, just about to speak. was pressed down by Daoist Qiu.

Daoist Qiu said lightly: "Did Turing's order for the new land lord be issued so soon?" ”

Dao Tong said in a mocking tone: "These things have nothing to do with you, a wild Taoist priest. ”

Master Li reacted quickly, and when he heard that Cao Tianshi had become the lord of the land, he immediately knelt down and asked people to send sesame oil money. Dao Tong was not polite, and accepted them one by one.

I was a little angry in my heart, this Cao Tianshi was really shameless, he actually wanted to replace me as the lord of the land, and why didn't Daoist Qiu let me tell the truth. I glanced at Daoist Qiu, who just shook his head at me. I had to hold back.

After a while, Daoist Qiu said, since Master Li doesn't believe us, then we will leave first.

After Daoist Qiu finished speaking, he got up, and we also got up.

Master Li said: "Dao Chang stays, if you don't mind, you can accompany Cao Tianshi to have a look tonight, and Cao Tianshi shouldn't mind." ”

Daoist Qiu smiled and said, "Master Li told you the truth, he is the only one who can save your son, and he also saw your son in the Broken Daoist Temple last night." Daoist Qiu said and patted me on the shoulder. Master Li looked at me in surprise, then took out a photo and said, "Little brother, have you seen my son?" ”

I took the photo and looked at it, in fact, I don't remember the appearance quite clearly, but I can't forget the clothes.

I hummed and said I had seen it.

Daoist Qiu said: "After tonight, the bell rings seven times, your son, if he can't come out, he will definitely die." ”

Cao Tianshi suddenly spoke: "If the bell doesn't ring seven times tonight, it won't be fine." ”

"The king of Hades wants it to die in the third watch, and he will definitely not keep him until the fifth watch." Daoist Qiu said.

"Then I have to keep him until the fifth watch, otherwise we will make a bet, if I let Master Li's son return to the Li Mansion alive at the fifth watch, you will worship my apprentice as a master, how about it?"

Daoist Qiu looked at Dao Tong, Dao Tong looked at Daoist Qiu proudly, and did not let him go, such as in terms of age, Daoist Qiu is enough to be his grandfather, in terms of seniority, I think Daoist Qiu's status is definitely higher than that of Dao Tong.

It is an insult to let Daoist Qiu recognize Daotong as a teacher.

I couldn't help but push back and say, "What if you lose?" ”

Cao Tianshi smiled and said, "I won't lose at all, if I lose, I will no longer be called a Heavenly Master, how about it?" ”

What else do I want to say. Daoist Qiu said: "Then it will be decided." ”

Seeing that both of them were willing to help him, Master Li had a smile on his face and persuaded Daoist Qiu and Cao Tianshi not to be angry. I'll leave the matter of the dog to the two of them.

Soon it was evening, and our group arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple. The town is not big, and the news spreads quickly, so there are quite a few people who come in the evening. The reason why these people dare to come may be because they have heard the name of Zhang Tianshi.

Everyone was talking nonsense.

A few bonfires were lit at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and Master Li also brought a lot of tables, and there were a lot of snacks and so on. Although there were a lot of people coming, no one dared to approach, and time passed by by the second.

Xiao Wanwan said to me: "Zhang Yan, how many times do you say the bell will ring?" ”

I have already seen Daoist Qiu's skills, so I still have some confidence in him, and I said that I should not be wrong, it is seven sounds.

Xiao Wanwan looked at the Taoist temple and said, "I don't think so." ”

It was more than eleven o'clock in a blink of an eye, everyone was talking, and some people asked, why hasn't there been any movement?

Not long after the words fell, suddenly the impact of "dong" sounded, the bell rang, the eardrums trembled, and the bell was a little ethereal, and everyone was blindfolded.

I thought to myself. When the people who were still talking heard the bell, they all became quiet. Xiao Wanwan also seemed to be interested in the gambling game, and stood on tiptoe to look inside, strangely, she didn't see anyone go in tonight.

Could it be that the person who went in last night didn't come out at all?

About ten minutes later, a second sound sounded, and this sound made people's hearts chill. Finally someone couldn't hold it anymore and retreated and left, and as the third bell rang, some of the others who remained here were missing, and when the fifth rang.

There aren't many people here anymore. I started to get a little nervous, and the tiebreaker was coming soon. Daoist Qiu sat next to me, with a smile on his face, as if he didn't pay attention to it at all. It seems that he has the courage to become an ancestor.

At this time, Master Li couldn't help but ask, "Two masters, can my son come back tonight?" ”

Master Li's face was pale at this time, his eyes were a little bloodshot, and he looked a little crazy.

Cao Tianshi and Daoist Qiu didn't say anything, so Dao Tong preemptively said: "Don't worry, my master has said it, Master Li will put his heart in his stomach." ”

Master Li looked at us, and Daoist Qiu didn't speak. Naturally, we don't have a good idea to say anything.

The bonfire was blowing in the evening, swinging around, and in a trance it seemed that I could still see the green flames, I rubbed my eyes, and suddenly I saw a black shadow, and by the time I looked, the black shadow was gone. I didn't hear anyone speak in the temple tonight.

Xiao Wanwan said to me, "The sixth bell is about to ring." ”

A minute after Xiao Wanwan finished speaking. "Knock" sounded again. I looked slightly surprised, and said to Xiao Wanwan: "What you said is really accurate. ”

Xiao Wanwan pursed her lips and didn't say anything. I continued, "Now wait for the seventh bell to ring." ”

Xiao Wanwan looked at me, looked at me calmly, and said, "Maybe there is no seventh voice." ”

I said how do you know? Xiao Wanwan said I just felt. I had to ask Daoist Qiu, but Daoist Qiu sold it to me, saying wait and see. If Daoist Qiu loses, he must recognize a little kid as a master. I glanced at Cao Tianshi, he was not arrogant or impatient, he seemed to be still closing his eyes and recuperating, looking like he was going to eat us.

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the Taoist temple.

All eyes were on that direction. Dao Tong hurriedly reminded that this was not a bell.

After waiting for about half an hour, the seventh bell had not yet sounded. Another half hour passed, and it was getting colder and colder.

Dao Tong couldn't help but ask, "Will this bell still ring?" I see that you admit defeat and forget it, don't delay everyone's time. ”

Daoist Qiu said, "This seventh bell will not ring, let's go back." ”

Master Li hurriedly asked, "What about my son?" He looked worried. Daoist Qiu said: "Don't worry, then it depends on whether your son can come back in the fifth watch." ”

The Taoist boy stepped forward impatiently and said to Daoist Qiu: "Old Taoist, you have already lost, quickly kowtow and call me master." ”

I looked at Dao Tong's arrogant appearance, and I felt uncomfortable, and said, "Who said he lost, is it time for the fifth watch?" Is Master Li's son back? ”

Dao Tong snorted and said, "It's a matter of time, you just wait to lose." ”

Cao Tianshi opened his mouth at this time and said, "Master Li, let's go back and wait now." ”

Master Li sighed and said okay. The housekeeper rushed to the Li Mansion with his support on Master Li, and Master Li couldn't help but smile on his face, he seemed to have believed Cao Tianshi's words, and his son was about to go home.

He shook off the butler's hand and said, "You rush back first, so that the lady can prepare to welcome her son home." ”

When everyone rushed to the Li Mansion, I also looked at the Taoist temple, and suddenly I seemed to hear someone talking inside. I couldn't help but think to myself, what kind of place is this broken Taoist temple, and who is talking in it?

On the way, I asked Daoist Qiu, "Daoist, are we lost?" ”

Daoist Qiu said: "Unknown, unknown, etc., you will know the answer." ”

We rushed all the way to Li's house, and when we got home, Master Li also prepared a supper. By the way, firecrackers were set off in advance, which was a celebration.

Daoist Qiu asked me and Xiao to eat something at night, don't be hungry so late, there is still some time before the fifth watch. Generally, one minute and five watches, one watch is generally seven o'clock in the evening, two is half past nine o'clock, the third watch time is twelve o'clock in the morning, four watches, half past two o'clock. The fifth watch is the appearance of five o'clock.

So don't think that five o'clock in the morning is dawn, there may be many ghosts in the sun.

The gate of the Li Mansion was closed according to what Cao Tianshi said, and a soul-attracting lamp was placed at the door, and it was not good to close the door to avoid being broken in by other lonely souls and wild ghosts.

In this way, I stayed up until the fifth watch.

I thought to myself that Master Li's son hadn't come back at this time, it seemed that Daoist Qiu was going to win, no wonder he was so calm. On the other hand, Cao Tianshi's face was still expressionless, so that people couldn't see the depth, but the Taoist boy beside him was already in a hurry, so he almost jumped to his feet.

Just when I thought that Daoist Qiu was going to win, suddenly there was a knock on the door with a "bang bang......".

When the door opened, I saw someone who surprised me!
