The third grandmother died, and I could see that the villagers' feelings were very complicated, on the one hand. They were saddened by the loss of this revered living immortal. On the other hand, they firmly believe that the third grandmother has returned to the fairy world. In short, in the later days, they became a mixture of reluctance, disappointment, regret, nostalgia, and worry for the third grandmother. It's as if there are no pillars in the village.

The three of us were treated as honored guests and received ceremoniously. It was like the first day we came, and we were served more than a dozen dishes.

At the dinner table, the village chief seemed to be joking, and it seemed to remind us. He smiled and said, "Three, you must help us rescue the dead villagers, so that they can be reincarnated safely." "We were just about to say yes. The village chief smiled again and said, "If you can't be saved, you can't leave." ”

When the three of us heard this, we were a little distressed. In the eyes of these villagers, it should be easy to rescue the people who have been captured. But the three of us understand that it's far from that simple. We don't know where Ma Daoist is now, or if he is alone or if he has another helper.

Seeing that we all lowered our heads and didn't speak, the village chief said a little unhappily: "Three masters, don't you want to help?" ”

Mr. Lu hurriedly shook his head: "How come?" There is no such thing, I was just thinking about countermeasures. ”

The village chief said suspiciously: "That's good, that's good." The three of them were also busy all night. Rest early after eating. Only when you wake up can you have the spirit to deal with Ma Daoist. Then he laughed dryly twice and left.

After we finished eating, we went back to the hut. I asked Mr. Lu, "Do you have any way to deal with Daoist Ma?" ”

Mr. Lu sat on the bed and said hesitantly: "We don't know where Daoist Ma is, which is a bit embarrassing." ”

Xue Qian said: "Lu Lao Dao, what the village chief means is that we can't catch Daoist Ma, so don't think about leaving this village." You'd better think about it seriously. ”

Mr. Lu slapped his thigh and said, "There is." ”

I was overjoyed. "Is there a way?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "I can use the Dao technique to create a blindfold in this room to make them think that we are still in the house." However, the three of us have actually snuck away. When they came in at dawn, there were only a few paper figures in the room. ”

I was disappointed and said, "I thought you had a way to catch Daoist Ma." It turned out to be a way to escape. ”

Xue Qian said: "Actually, it's not difficult to lure Ma Daoist out. The purpose of his coming here to cause trouble. It's nothing more than for this jade gourd. Let's use the jade gourd as bait and wait for him to appear. Wouldn't it be enough to capture him? ”

Mr. Lu took out the jade gourd and looked at it, and then said with some hesitation: "The contents of this jade gourd are probably involved, and if they are taken away by Daoist Ma, it will be a pity." ”

Xue Qian said: "This jade gourd has always been contained in the stone box, and the stone box has been sitting under the futon by the third grandmother. So Ma Daoist must have never seen this thing. If you get him a fake one, he won't be able to tell the difference. ”

Mr. Lu nodded slowly, and then said, "This matter is a bit strange. Since Daoist Ma had never seen this jade gourd, how did he know that this thing was in the hands of the third grandmother? ”

I thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid the spirit told him." "At the beginning, the Yin Ghost Mother boiled out the soul in Father Xue's spine. Soon after we saw the hallucination, the soul was stolen by Ma Daoist's accomplices. They must have gotten some news from their souls. That's why I came to the third grandmother and wanted to snatch the jade gourd.

I told this guess again, and Mr. Lu and Xue Qian both nodded in approval.

Mr. Lu took this jade gourd, looked at it over and over, and after a while, he said, "Should I pour out the divine water in it and then fill it with well water?" ”

I said, "What if this divine water has to stay in the jade gourd?" Once you take it out, it changes, what to do? ”

Mr. Lu said hesitantly: "This thing is really troublesome. ”

Xue Qian said: "Actually, even if you take a broken bowl and fill it with water, you can lure Ma Daoist out." ”

Mr. Lu asked strangely, "Is Ma Daoist stupid?" ”

Xue Qian smiled: "It's because he's not stupid that he appears." Mr. Lu, when you want to trick people, aren't you always extremely smart? Why are you confused now? Think about it, as long as you raise the banner and say that the divine water is on you. Even if Daoist Ma finds out that your divine water is fake, he will definitely decide that you know where the real divine water is. So I will do everything possible to come to you and ask about things. ”

Mr. Lu nodded: "Not bad, not bad." Xue Qian, you've been a lot smarter lately. ”

Xue Qian said with a smile: "If you see too much excitement, you will naturally be smart." ”

It was summer, and the villagers' low-slung adobe houses were cool. After talking for a while, we felt tired, so we lay down in bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I saw that the room was pitch black. There was a light outside the door. By this time it was already night.

I fumbled around the table, found a match, and was going to light the lamp. But as soon as the match was struck, there was a pop and it was extinguished. I sighed, "This match is of such poor quality?" ”

I drew another one, and like last time, it flashed away.

I pulled out the third one, and when I was about to paddle it, I stayed there. My mind carefully recalled the scene when the match had just been extinguished. That's not because it's of poor quality. It's more like someone next to me blowing out the fire.

But I didn't feel the wind at all. This kind of thing can't be done by people, eighty percent of them are ghosts.

I swallowed a mouthful of spit. Then he closed his eyes. In such a dark room, it is a waste to keep your eyes open. I use my senses of hearing, smell, and touch to feel my surroundings carefully.

Slowly, I felt a cold aura gathering behind me. This breath should have been something that blew out the fire just now.

I stood there and didn't move. I secretly thought to myself: there is no doubt that this guy is not a living person. It's supposed to be a ghost. This ghost doesn't harm me, and he doesn't show up, what is the idea?

Could it be that he is an accomplice of Ma Daoshi? Came to steal the jade gourd?

The more I thought about it, the more likely it became, and the more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. I want to wake up Mr. Lu and Xue Qian. But I knew it wasn't going to work. In such a dark place, people are equal to blind, but imps are not restricted in any way. My every move was watched by him, Mr. Lu was woken up by me, how could it take more than ten seconds, this time is too much time for him, he can completely attack me.

I began to carefully remember where my bed was, where my broadsword was. I closed my eyes and meditated, but the imp behind me didn't move.

I thought for a moment, and sketched out in my mind the direction of the bed, and the location of the broadsword. Then I let out a loud shout, stunning the imp with my voice, and at the same time, flew up and threw myself on the bed.

As I expected, my body landed on the bed safely, and then, with my right hand, swept across the bed at great speed, from top to bottom, and grabbed the big knife in my hand. I held the big knife across my chest and asked, "Who the hell are you?" ”｜.

No one answered me, I just heard what seemed to be a knock at the door.

Immediately after, I heard Xue Qian and Mr. Lu get up, and the two of them asked in a panic, "What's the situation?" Zhao Mang, what are you doing? ”

I didn't light the light, my eyes were still closed, and I carefully felt the situation around me. It's just that at this time, the breath in the room is very disordered, and I can no longer feel the ghost.

At this time, Xue Qian had already lit the candle. I looked inside the room, and it was safe. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said, "A little ghost broke in just now. Blew out my matches. ”

Xue Qian suddenly pointed to the ground and asked, "Is this it?" ”

I turned my head to see that there were two water stains over there, two clearly shaped feet
