This feeling of being unable to move the body is somewhat familiar, like the feeling when I was beaten by the master for three times, in addition to the body being unable to move, I also felt a strong pressure.

However, although my body could not move, my eyes could still rotate, and I aimed at Liangchi beside me out of the corner of my eye, and he still maintained the posture of holding his hands with his eyes closed.

At this time, there was a sudden sneer above my head, that laughter made me feel a chill that I had never felt before, extending from the back to every inch of flesh and blood of the body, a pair of white embroidered shoes slowly walked into my sight, I tried to lift my eyes up, but the line of sight only fell below the neck of the person who came, the person was wearing a light gauze white dress, the sleeves were slightly fluttering in the wind, full of fairy spirit, but the whole body exuded a cold atmosphere. Even though I didn't see her face, I was terrified because I recognized the dress.

It was worn by the person in the painting in the cave where I and the big dog accidentally broke into three years ago, and I am 100% sure that the person who came is the female ghost in the cave three years ago!

Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down from his temples to his chin, itching people panickingly. Her laughter turned like a silver bell again, and she seemed to be very happy: "You see, he has begun to get in touch with the Dao Fa. That's where it really begins. As she spoke, her cold fingertips gently ran down my ear, removing the beads of sweat from my chin.

She fell in my ear, and the cold breath blew on my face: "The sooner you complete your mission, the sooner I can ......"

"Bang!"

With this loud noise, my body finally regained its autonomy, lying on the ground softly, the figure in front of me immediately disappeared, if it wasn't for the wet sweat beads on the floor, I might have felt that I was taking a nap just now, and that woman was just a shallow dream of mine.

Liangchi also slowly opened his eyes at this time, turned his head to look at the big dog who slammed the door open and made a noise, but the big dog's eyes fell on me who was paralyzed on the ground, strode to my side, and carefully helped me up. Only then did Liangchi notice that something was wrong with me and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

I shook my head, "I'm fine. What about you? Did you just feel that something was wrong? ”

"Nope." Liangchi looked at the place where Wang Wan was standing before disappearing: "Didn't I just tell you that there is something wrong with your handprint?" What about Wang Wan? ”

It seemed that Liangchi didn't know about that woman, and my brows tightened unconsciously: "How can you do this?" I mean, how do you know the Tao, you know the mudras, you know the Taoist scriptures? ”

Liangchi's body was stunned, and he also became puzzled: "Yes, how can I do this." I just saw your handprint when I passed by the door of your room, and a handprint similar to yours came to my mind, and I felt that you were not doing it right, and then I wanted to come in and tell you, but I did it according to the way I was doing it in my head, and I didn't know what was wrong, and my mouth began to mutter something strange. ”

I looked at his serious expression, which didn't seem to be a lie, so I nodded, and looked at the big dog holding me again: "Why did you suddenly come in." ”

The big dog, who had been silent, opened his mouth at this time: "Your master called me and said that you might have an accident, so I came in, and I was really scared to death when I saw you lying on the ground just now." He also said that you must bring a red candle umbrella and carry it with you at all times. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Then did he say anything else, such as about Liangchi?" ”

The big dog shook his head.

I sighed a little weakly: "You guys go out first, I want to be alone for a while." ”

After Liangchi and the big dog told me to get a good rest, they walked out of the room one after another. After they went out, I lay on my bed, my mind was in a mess, and after a few struggles I got up and made a phone call to Master.

The phone rang a few times, and Master answered, I didn't speak, and the person on the other end of the phone didn't speak, I could only hear a slight breathing, and there was silence between them.

After a long time, I called, "Master." ”

He replied softly on the other end, "Hmm." ”

There was a dead silence again. I had a lot of questions, but I didn't know how to say them. I knew very well in my heart that the matter of Liangchi was not so simple, and what the female ghost in the cave meant by what she said, I felt that Master must know the inside story, what he had been hiding from me.

I thought about it for a long time before I spoke: "Wang Wan's matter is solved, and I saw the female ghost in the cave just now." ”

Master was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time before he let out a long sigh: "Ah Yi, I know that you must have a lot of questions now, but Master really can't tell you too many things now, and telling you everything now will only bring you unnecessary trouble." As for the female ghost, she claimed to be punished by heaven. She won't be too much of a threat to you for now, but she will cause you a little trouble. ”

I took a deep breath: "For the time being? That is, after this 'temporary' she will pose a threat to me? Even endangered my life, right? ”

Master was speechless on the other end of the phone for a long time, I didn't ask questions, and he didn't rush to deny it.

I began to feel disheartened, I used to think that I didn't know anything about the master, I only knew that he loved to play backgammon, and when he drank alcohol, he would leak out the old man and say some inexplicable things, and he was also a very capable Taoist priest. Only now do I understand that all this is just the surface of what I can see, I have been with him for three years, he has been hiding it from me, since three years ago he called me to apprentice, took me to see Liangchi, told me that Liangchi's eyes were caused by me, told me that Liangchi's sleepiness began three years ago, and even Wang Wan's matter was premeditated entrusted to me from three years ago. In addition to this, he had to ask me to stay by Ryochi's side, and if I wanted to save his life, I could live, but he never told me why.

Finally, he spoke on the other end of the phone: "Yes." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before slowly continuing: "As long as the time comes, she will find a way to take your life." So, Ah Yi, before that, you must become stronger than her. ”

"From the beginning of the matter of Liangchi, I have to do what you want me to do, you want me to stay by Liangchi's side to protect his life so that I can live, but you don't let me ask why." A bitterness welled up in my heart: "Master, I have never doubted you, but why do you hide so much from me? From the female ghost to Wang Wan, and then to Liangchi, what secrets are you hiding? ”

I heard Master's heavy breathing on the other end of the phone: "Ah Yi, you believe me, I didn't want to harm you, I always wanted to save you." ”

I hung up the phone in a hurry and didn't want to listen any more, and it was clear that he still didn't want to say anything.

I lay slumped on the bed, my eyes fell on the red candle umbrella on the bedside table, my eyes gradually blurred, and the sourness rippled in my heart, stimulating every nerve and integrating into the blood. The feeling of not knowing anything, that fate is not in your own hands, is really helpless.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and finally fatigue hit.
