The four of us stood at the door, watching Father Xue disappear into the end of the street on horseback. Mr. Lu suddenly stretched out his hand to me and said, "Give me your phone." ”

I didn't think about it. Handing over the mobile phone, Mr. Lu put down a sentence: "Don't take a taxi." ”

Then he ran forward as fast as he could.

Xue Qian asked me worriedly, "Can Mr. Lu catch up?" ”

I said, "People have four legs, he has two legs, and it's a little difficult for me to see." But it's always an opportunity, so it's better to try. ”

The three of us walked slowly in the direction where Father Xue was running, and discussed in a low voice as we walked: "Why can't you take a taxi?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Maybe the sound of the car will disturb the soul." Let your dad find out. Besides, it's almost midnight, where are we going to take a taxi? ”

Xue Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Are you sure that's my dad?" ”

I looked at him with some sympathy: "It's definitely not your dad." ”

Aunt Xue followed behind us, bowing her head and saying nothing. It looks very unpleasant.

Xue Qian asked again, "Mr. Lu said just now." He also watched the excitement. Then I wonder, who is planning today? ”

I smiled and shook my head, saying, "You'll know then." ”

At this time, Xue Qian's mobile phone rang, it was sent to him by Mr. Lu, and there were only a few words on it: Come to the river.

I said, "Are they by the river? ”

Xue Qian frowned: "This river is dozens of miles long, who knows where they are." ”

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "Let's go to the river first." ”

The three of us walked along the road all the way to the outskirts. I saw the river glowing under the streetlights, flowing into the distance. Xue Qian pointed to the distance and said, "There's a fire over there." They should be there. ”

The three of us walked along the riverbank slowly, Mr. Lu didn't tell us what to do, but we consciously hid in the dark and didn't be discovered by Father Xue.

After we had walked a few hundred steps, I saw that the light of the fire was actually a faint candlelight. There were dozens of them in a mess by the river. And there was a man and a horse, standing in the light of the fire, looking out toward the river.

I whispered to Xue Qian: "Let's stay away from him, don't be discovered." ”

As soon as I finished saying this, I saw someone behind the tree waving at us. Looking at the person's appearance, it seems to be Mr. Lu. We bent over like thieves. Cautiously walked over.

A few of us squatted under the roots of the tree, and I asked Mr. Lu, "What's the situation now?" ”

Mr. Lu pointed over there and said, "He was brought here, but I don't know what the specific situation is." Let's just watch right here. ”

Father Xue was standing in the center of the candle and was looking around. Suddenly, I didn't know who pushed me, and I staggered forward. Then he stumbled under his feet, plopped, and fell to the ground.

I thought to myself, this is bad, Father Xue is going to find me.

I looked up, and he was looking at me with an angry face. He sneered and said, "You tricked me here?" ”

I stammered, not knowing what to answer. I looked back with some annoyance and whispered, "Who pushed me?" ”

Mr. Lu and the others all made innocent looks and said, "We didn't do anything. ”

Now, there's no point in hiding it anymore. The four of us walked out from behind the tree in disgrace. Then he stood next to Father Xue and smiled awkwardly.

Father Xue took out the cardboard box, opened the cardboard box, held it up in front of us, and said, "Someone sent a skull, saying that he had stolen my body, and if he wanted to take my body back, he would come to this place to meet." ”

The four of us, you look at me, I look at you, and we are silent.

Father Xue walked up to me and Mr. Lu and said, "You two Taoist priests have always been dissatisfied with me. If you have the ability, prove that I am false. If you can't prove it, don't do these little things behind my back. ”

Then, he handed me the carton. I saw that the skull was still covered with dirt, and it was indeed freshly dug up.

Father Xue said, "Hand over the rest of the part." ”

I smiled wryly, "What's left?" What are you kidding? ”

Father Xue closed the carton and said, "It stands to reason that I am already in the immortal class, and this stinky skin bag should not be ignored anymore." But these two Taoist priests are really too pressing. ”

Father Xue said with tears in his eyes, and he was extremely sincere. If it weren't for the fact that this matter really had nothing to do with me, I'm afraid I would have believed him. And Xue Qian had already blinked, looked at me and said, "Lao Zhao, did you do it?" You're going too far. Whether this person is true or not, let's hand over my father's bones first. ”

I looked at him helplessly: "Don't you believe me either?" ”

At this time, Father Xue said to Aunt Xue again: "You also followed them to spy on me?" ”

Aunt Xue was about to cry: "I didn't, the two of them told me that they had already thought of a way." ”

Father Xue turned around and looked at me and Mr. Lu with a smile on his face: "What can you two think of?" ”

Mr. Lu and I were resigned, at a loss. Our watch seemed to reassure Father Xue, he smiled, shook his hand suddenly, threw the carton into the water, and said, "Do you really think I care about this bone? I just want to see what you two do. Now, it doesn't seem like a big deal. Is it for some kind of magic to light so many candles here? Is your Taoism spiritual or not? ”

Mr. Lu smiled dryly: "Now that you are standing here dignifiedly, our Dao skills are naturally ineffective." ”

Father Xue glanced at Mr. Lu and said, "Then do you believe me now?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Believe, believe." Then he said with a flattering face: "Can you teach me the method of becoming an immortal?" Let me practice it too. ”

I've been in contact with Mr. Lu for a long time. Knowing that he really wants to learn from others, he will be very solemn, and make this kind of flattering attitude, eighty percent of it is to deceive people. But Father Xue didn't know, he nodded with satisfaction, and then didn't say anything.

After a while, he sighed and said to Aunt Xue: "The reason why I have a fate is because you never forget me. You have doubted me again and again, and I am afraid that I will not stay in the mortal world for long. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "I don't have any doubts. ”

I silently thought in my heart: Actually, Father Xue was not wrong in what he suspected. Someone brought him here, and put so many candles on the table, definitely to deal with him. It's just that he will think of the wrong person. The people who want to deal with him are not me and Mr. Lu, but Gu Yue and the Yin Ghost Woman. It's just that, the strange thing is that after such a long time, these candles are still burning well, but Father Xue has not changed. It seems that the Yin Ghost Woman's plan has also failed. Empty House:.

I was thinking of this, and when I looked up, I suddenly saw Father Xue's face, which immediately startled me. Father Xue lost a lot of weight in just a few seconds.

Originally, when I came back from this trip, Aunt Xue looked like she had run out of oil and dried up, while Father Xue was full of oil, but I didn't expect that under the candlelight, I saw that Father Xue was already covered with bones.

Obviously, I'm not the only one who found out. Xue Qian and Aunt Xue were both looking at Father Xue in amazement. But Father Xue himself didn't notice it, he was looking up at the stars in the sky, talking about his fate.

At this time, Mr. Lu quietly dragged me and whispered in my ear, "Look at his shadow." ”

I glanced at it. Because there were a lot of candles on the ground, there were more than a dozen shadows on Father Xue. Because the candlelight cancels each other out, these shadows are extremely faint.

I stared at one of the shadows for a moment, and noticed that it was slowly disappearing, and then it was completely gone. Then, another shadow is also dying. I watched in amazement. I thought: What is the reason for this? What about his shadow?

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a behemoth in the water, spitting and spitting, and something was spewing out and striking at the shadow. Father Xue's shadow faded little by little under the blow of this thing, until it died
