When Gu Yue heard me say this, she turned around and asked with a frown, "Your friend?" ”

I pointed at Xue Qian and said, "My friend." ”

Gu Yue nodded: "He can leave." ”

Ma Daoist poked his head and asked, "What about me?" What about me? ”

Gu Yue turned her head away and stopped talking. This meaning is obvious, Ma Daoist suffered by himself, I am afraid he will not live.

Ma Daoist said with a crying voice: "I used to do it wrong, I was wrong. Shall I give me a chance to make amends? ”

I saw that Ma Daoist looked pitiful, and couldn't help but say: "As the saying goes, repay grievances with virtue." He just follows Wang Laodao to do things, don't worry about him, just let him go. ”

Gu Yue said lightly: "Repay grievances with virtue? How do I remember that there is another sentence at the end: repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? ”

With that, she turned and walked out into the street.

Xue Qian got Gu Yue's promise, and immediately smiled, he looked at Ma Daoist gloatingly, and said, "Brother, there's no way." This girl's education level is too high, Lao Zhao can't say that others. ”

Ma Daoist leaned his body against the wall and slowly slid down. He sat on the ground and suddenly began to cry in a low voice.

I shook my head and thought to myself, "Wang Laodao is as strong as an iron plate, how can he accept such an apprentice?" ”

Xue Qian and I followed behind Gu Yue and slowly walked to the street.

Wang Laodao saw a few of us coming out, and sighed with a dejected expression, probably knowing that things had reached this point, and he couldn't control it anymore.

Gu Yue didn't look at him, and walked towards the outside of the village step by step. Outside the village, there was smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen clearly.

We crossed the old road. I heard Xue Qian say behind me, "Mr. Lu, hurry up and come with me, they promised us that they could let us go." ”

I took two steps, and suddenly I heard Wang Laodao shouting behind me: "Young man, no wonder you are full of ghosts, it turns out that you are from the empty house." Hehe, I advise you to repent as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be a day when you regret it. ”

I paused, then whispered, "Do you think I'd like to live there?" The voice of this sentence was very small, and no one heard it except me.

Gu Yue took those little ghosts and walked outside into the smoke and dust. Their bodies blurred and then vanished.

I looked at Mr. Lu and asked, "What should we do?" "Formation in-service skills.

Mr. Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go in too." ”

Then, the three of us lowered our heads and got in.

I thought it would be a wolf howl and a swarm of demons dancing around. Unexpectedly, after walking in, I found that it was empty and I couldn't see anything. Only the yin wind gusted, blowing on the body, and it hurt like a knife.

The three of us walked inside for a while, and soon we got dizzy.

I asked Mr. Lui, "Where are we going next?" Where's your compass? Measure the direction. ”

Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "In this kind of place, the compass doesn't work at all." ”

At this moment, Xue Qian suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Look, what is that?" ”

I saw two lanterns, floating out of thin air. They staggered down in front of us.

I was dumbfounded and didn't dare say a word. Xue Qian asked in a low voice, "Is this thing a lantern ghost?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded, and then saluted the two lanterns: "Trouble the two to lead the way." ”

The two lanterns shook and floated forward.

The three of us nervously followed the lantern. After walking for a while, a hut appeared in front of me.

I recognized it at a glance. This is the empty house of Yucheng. That old gentleman used to bring me here.

The lantern paused at the doorway. Then it went out.

I looked into the room and saw Gu Yue standing inside with her back to us, pouring tea. As if she knew we had arrived, she said lightly, "Please come in." ”

I walked in, looked around the room for a moment, and then asked, "Where's the old gentleman?" ”

Gu Yue said lightly: "My father was seriously injured and is recuperating inside, perhaps, it is inconvenient to meet guests now." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, I heard a hearty laugh from behind the curtain: "It is indeed inconvenient for me to meet guests, but my little brother is my savior, and I can't help but see him." ”

Then the old gentleman lifted the curtain and walked out.

He looked much older than he had been a few days ago. There are a lot of wrinkles on the face, and the gray beard has also become thin.

The old gentleman seemed to notice that I was looking at him, and he smiled at me and said, "After the injury, so many years of hard cultivation have been in vain. But fortunately, I finally left a life and didn't lose my soul. ”

Subsequently, he was grateful and ashamed: "That day, the old man hurt the little brother a lot in order to escape for his life. Looking at your complexion, it doesn't seem that your body has completely recovered? ”

I smiled and said, "I'm fine, just rest for a few days." ”

I pointed to Mr. Lu and Xue Qian and said, "These two are my friends. ”

The old gentleman looked at Mr. Lu with some vigilance: "Another Taoist priest?" Don't you claim to be the way to destroy demons? Have you ever killed a ghost too? ”

Mr. Lu's answer was neither humble nor arrogant: "I have indeed killed a lot of powerful ghosts. But those ghosts should be killed one by one, doing evil and harming the living. Old gentleman, when you meet such a powerful ghost, do you think I should make a move? ”

The old gentleman nodded.

Mr. Lu said: "We Taoist priests are not just for the purpose of catching ghosts and subduing demons. I have also done a lot of things about the deceased and chanting confessions, and speaking of which, there are many little ghosts, and I am afraid that they are very grateful to me. ”

Only then did the old gentleman smile and said, "Since you can be a friend of the little brother, you really have some knowledge, which is different from the pedantic old Taoist priest outside." ”

A few of us were talking in the room, when suddenly a young man ran in and said, "Master, it's almost dark. The old Taoist priest couldn't stand it. ”

The old gentleman's eyes shone brightly: "Okay." It's time for us to raise our eyebrows. Inform everyone, let's go in and give the old Taoist priest some color. ”

Mr. Lu hurriedly stopped in front of the old gentleman and said, "Wait." Sir, can you listen to me? ”

The old gentleman frowned and asked, "What are you going to say?" ”

Mr. Lu said sincerely: "It is better to settle the dispute than to settle it, can you let him go?" That's it? ”

The old gentleman sneered: "He abolished my cultivation, can he forget it like this?" Even if I agree, can the lonely ghosts outside agree? ”

He shouted out the door, "Can you agree?" ”

Countless voices came from outside: "Don't agree", "The old Taoist priest is too deceitful, I must teach him a lesson", "Torture him well, let him become a terrible ghost"......

I saw that the old gentleman's face was flushed, and his expression was excited, and I thought: This is a serious injury that has not healed, I see that you are in good spirits.

Gu Yue hugged the old gentleman and said, "You don't have any cultivation now. It's no different from a normal imp. Don't be angry. ”

The old gentleman nodded, and his feelings gradually calmed down. Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go." Enter the village. ”

I stopped the old gentleman and said, "You can't go in." ”

The old gentleman turned around in surprise and said, "Little brother, you don't agree with our revenge either?" You can see all the grievances I suffered that day. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "When there was a famine, the villagers ate your flesh. You use a string of paper elm money and kill them. There is no one who is wronged and has a debtor, and there is no one who has nothing to do with it, and it is very fair. But what about now? Wang Lao Dao just locked you up for a few days, causing your years of cultivation to be ruined. But this doesn't seem to be a sin that leads to death, does it? ”

When the old gentleman heard this, he fell silent, and after a while, he said lightly: "Little brother, you are right. My string of paper elm money, what I pay attention to is to repay one report and one report, and the score is exactly the same. If Wang Laodao hadn't killed me, I wouldn't have killed him. Still, I had to teach him a lesson. ”

I said, "It's best if you think so." But you still can't go into the village. ”

The old gentleman looked at me in surprise and asked, "Why?" ”

I said, "Because Wang Laodao has set up a big array in the village, and he will die with you." ”
