Chapter 140: The Stone Lion

As soon as I saw that it was him, I shouted on the spot: "Liu Shangang!" ”

I would never admit that the person in front of me was Liu Shangang, but after I called him, he didn't even look at me, but still stood straight outside the door, looking ahead.

At this time, I heard Li Daochang say to my master: "Master Chai, since you are here, come in with me." In the past few days, Mrs. Huang has been looking forward to you like the stars and the moon. ”

My master nodded, and went straight to the door of the ancestral hall, ignoring "Liu Shangang" standing by the door.

At that time, I wondered if I was mistaken, but the person was standing next to me, and I looked at him carefully to make sure that I was not mistaken, and it was possible for two people in this world to be very similar, but I didn't believe that these two people could even look exactly the same as the birthmark on their earlobe.

The small crimson peach-shaped birthmark on Liu Shangang's earlobe, I will never admit it in my life!

When I stared at the side of Liu Shangang's face, the expression on Liu Shangang's face also became very unnatural, and he deliberately twisted his face to the side, as if he was afraid that I would see who he was.

I relied on, I haven't been in touch for a few years, and I still pretended not to know each other when I met, my heart suddenly became angry, and I reached out and grabbed Liu Shangang's wrist, and used the technique of Tiangang lock, and grabbed it hard.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Liu Shangang is much stronger than in the past, and the tendons and bones on his wrists seem to be harder than in the past, but I was also in a hurry at the time, and I almost used all my strength, and Liu Shangang's small body bones are absolutely unbearable.

He wailed on the spot: "Oops! Pain Pain Pain Pain Pain ...... Elder brother! Elder brother! Don't make a fuss, I'm on a mission. ”

What performs the task? I don't believe what he can do!

But at this time, my master suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted at me: "There is a way, don't mess around." Fat Dun now has a quest and can't talk to you. ”

Since Master said so, I loosened the strength of my hand slightly, but I still grabbed Liu Shangang's wrist with my right hand, and Liu Shangang smiled at me wryly, but still didn't say anything.

Until Master beckoned to me and shouted at me, "Keep up!" I let go of Liu Shangang and chased after my master, and when I crossed the threshold, I glanced at Liu Shangang again, and he became the kind of straight standing again, staring ahead.

When Liang Houzai walked past him, he still stared intently ahead, without rolling his eyes.

Although I don't know what kind of task Liu Shangang is performing, seeing his serious appearance, the anger in my heart suddenly dissipated, and I have an inexplicable sense of joy.

From childhood to adulthood, Liang Houzai has a lewd smell all over his body. I estimate that his mission this time should also include guarding the door of the ancestral hall of the old Huang family, but no matter how straight he stands, I don't think he is a gatekeeper, but like a thief lurking at the door of the ancestral hall, I always feel that as long as the Huang family is not careful, Liu Shangang will take the opportunity to enter the door and steal things.

I know that it may not be fair for Liu Shangang to think like this, but I can't help myself from thinking in this direction.

I was even imagining whether it would be Liu Shangang who stole the things of the old Huang family and was punished for guarding the door outside the ancestral hall.

With these things in my heart, I listened to Daochang Li in front of me say to himself: "The stone lions have been transferred to the door, alas, trouble, trouble, big trouble." ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at the gate of the ancestral hall.

I first glanced at Li Daochang's face, trying to see his appearance clearly, but at that time he was standing in the shadow of the Yimen archway, and the black shadow just blocked his face, and I could only see the moonlight in his eyes, but I still couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Then I looked in the direction he was looking at, and I saw two one-and-a-half-man tall stone lions on the inside of the gate of the ancestral hall.

To be honest, I have seen stone lions like this when I was a child, and there is a vegetable market in the northwest of our city, and there are two lions outside the market gate. But the stone lions in the ancestral hall of the old Huang family are very different from the ones I have seen before, and the stone lions I have seen in the past have been portrayed very majestic. But the two lions, one with his head hanging and his eyes drooping, looked very depressed; The other had its head held high, with round eyes, a large mouth open, and a human skull in its mouth, which gave me the impression of extreme violence.

And usually, the town gate beasts like the stone lion are placed outside the gate, but these two are placed in the courtyard, with their backs to the ancestral hall gate.

The ancestral hall of the old Huang family is the kind of ancient house with three doors, after entering the gate, after passing through a very small courtyard, it is a white marble made of Yimen archway, or it can be called Yimen directly. The eyes of the two stone lions stared straight at the instrument gate, or at something in the instrument gate.

But I looked towards the Yimen, but I could only see the ancestral hall of the old Huang family, since it is an ancestral hall, in that hall, it should be the tablets of the ancestors of the old Huang family.

Let these two ominous stone lions face the ancestral tablet, and I don't know what the Huang family means.

My master didn't seem to feel anything wrong with this, and after he passed the Yimen, he bypassed the ancestral hall without stopping at all and walked on a path.

Liang Houzai and I also hurried over.

Li Daochang sighed and followed, and I deliberately turned my head to look at him, and found that his face was blocked by the shadow of the leaves, and I still couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Li Daochang also noticed that I looked at his face three or four times, and when I turned my head to look at him this time, he smiled and said to me, "Hehe, you want to see my face?" It's not that easy. People in the same way call me Faceless Daoist, and as long as I don't want you to see my face, you won't be able to see it anyway. ”

Faceless Daoist? By the way, there is really a record of such a person in the "Examination of the Walking Dead", the book says that he was born in the second year of Xuantong, he was a soldier in his early years, and converted to Taoism after being disfigured on the battlefield, because he was talented and intelligent, and was favored by the previous generation of the Qingfeng Temple, inheriting the mantle of the side lineage, and after 50 years of penance, he achieved a small success, and then stepped into the red dust, and returned to the Qingfeng Temple to become a contemporary master.

Because of the destruction of his appearance, the Faceless Daoist has developed a set of secret methods that can hide his appearance in the "yin and yang", and ordinary people cannot see his appearance clearly.

Of course, the record of him in "The Walking Dead" is very long, and here in order to save space, I can only make a simple summary. However, my master did say in the "Examination of the Walking Dead" that he hid his appearance between yin and yang, and as for what is meant by yin and yang here, I can't explain it.

In addition, one more thing I have to mention is that when I first met Daochang Li, he was almost 100 years old. Although I couldn't see his face clearly, judging from his posture and movements, he looked like a slightly fat middle-aged man.

At this time, my master turned around, pointed at me, and said to Li Daochang, "My apprentice." ”

Li Daochang smiled again and said, "Oh, you are Zuo Youdao." No wonder, just now I felt that the spirit on your body was somewhat similar to Master Chai. Hehe, although it's the first time I've seen you, it's not the first time I've heard of your name, the last time you captured Zhao Dekai in the ghost market, it was rumored to be amazing, and there are almost no people in the same way who don't know. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Daochang looked at Liang Houzai again, and then said: "I also heard others say that Zuo Youdao has two birth doors in this life, one of which is Li Liang's disciple Liang Houzai, and the other is a kid named Liu Shangang. Just now I heard that the young man who was guarding the door outside was called Liu Shangang. Then you should be Liang Houzai, right? ”

Liang Houzai and I didn't expect that Daochang Li in front of me would know so much about me, when I was in the ghost market, the master was to train me, so I let me deal with Zhao Dekai's affairs alone, and I was able to capture him alive at that time, to put it bluntly, it was luck, but I didn't expect to make such a big move.

As for the fact that Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai are the two births in my life, it seems that in addition to the three of us, only a very small number of people from the Soul Zhuangmen, including my master and the two head masters, know about it, how did even this news reach the ears of Li Daochang?

But my master still didn't pay much attention to Daochang Li's words, and still walked ahead on his own.

Within a few minutes, the master took us to the back hall of the ancestral hall compound, the so-called back hall, in this kind of three-entry old courtyard is also called the back bed, since there is a "bed" word, then the purpose of this room is self-evident.

The back bed of the old Huang family ancestral hall looked at a large gate on the north and south walls, and both doors were open at this time, and my vision from through these two doors could also clearly see that behind the back bed, there was a small courtyard that was narrow from north to south and wide from east to west.

In the center of the courtyard, two ancient pines are coiled and grow together like twisted flowers, and on both sides of the back door of the entire ancestral hall, there are two stone lions that sleep and wake up, but in these two lions, the awake lion has not a human skull in its mouth, but a cluster of pine branches carved out of stone.

When we came to the back bed, there was a very large Taishi chair at the entrance of the back bed, and a very burly old man was sitting on it, at this time with his eyes closed, leaning back on the chair and taking a nap.

As soon as my master's front foot crossed the threshold, the old man on the master's chair suddenly opened his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, I seemed to see two rays of light burst out of his eyes, and those two rays of light passed over my scalp like a knife, and I was shocked that my scalp was numb.

When he opened his eyes, I looked at his eyes again, and my heart trembled again, and the look in his eyes was a sharpness I had never seen before, no, it should be said to be sharp, sharper than the blade of a steel knife.

The old man first glanced at the door with such eyes, and after seeing my master, he suddenly stood up from the Taishi's chair, stepped forward and held my master's hand, and said with some excitement: "Oh, Master Chai, you are here, but let me wait!" ”
