Ge Lao Wu didn't let them wait too long, and on the third day, he called a guy to come over to greet them, when the guy came over, Zhou Mushu was discussing with Lu Yuanyan about his school for the seventh time in the hall, Lu Yuanyan said indifferently, "You can finish your schoolwork by reading books at home, besides, Kangren Middle School is such an old building, where do you sit and read Baguwen every day, and you are not afraid of yin qi?" ”

Zhou Mushu slapped the teacup, "Then why did you go to ask me for a long leave without saying hello?" Did you inform my mother? Did you get my consent? ”

"Don't be so angry at a young age. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lu Yuanyan didn't know where to get a fan, with Xi Shi Huan yarn painted on it, fluttering the fan, "Do you go to Shanghai Nanyang University to learn 'industry to save the country', or stay in Beijing to go to the Beijing Normal University Hall, I heard that Yenching University will be built soon, since it is an apprentice in a pharmacy, then study medicine?" ”

"Kyoshi University Hall? Now it's called Peking University, but that's not something you can go to if you want to..."The more Zhou Mushu grabbed the cup and said that his voice became quieter, and he sighed as he grabbed the cup, he wanted to go to Peking University, but in that kind of situation at home, Lu Yuanyan could let him be an apprentice in a pharmacy, which would make people in a similar situation happy.

He muttered, "That place must not be soaked in the nest of books all day to study, so that you can barely climb in, and there are some rich businessmen and tycoons of the imperial family mixed in." ”

Lu Yuanyan frowned, thoughtful.

"Second master...... someone pulled Zhou Mushu's trouser legs, his voice was extremely thin, he seemed to have heard this voice just now, and he reacted when he was pulled at this time, and when he looked down, he was happy.

A small man a few inches long was nodding his head, grabbing a broken cool hat with an expression of almost crying, a bit like a clown dwarf in a movie picture, seeing him bow his head, his eyes narrowed, and he almost cried, "Second master, you can count on me, I have been standing for a long time, and my heart is so anxious that I am about to get oily." ”

Lu Yuanyan also looked down and was surprised, "Hongliu'er, you haven't been reincarnated yet?" ”

Hong Liu'er lowered her head embarrassedly and tugged at her short coat, "Hey, what are you doing about reincarnation, I'm such a person with no relatives and no friends, it's good to stay here, I have food, clothing, and work, but the sixth master, we have to go quickly, the fifth master said, keep it for you to show a good show!" ”

As soon as Lu Yuanyan heard this, he put down the fan and straightened his clothes, "Let's go, lead the way ahead, and the junior apprentices will follow." ”

Hongliuer finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took them out more than half a step with a string of "Huh, Huh, Huh", and went around into the back of an alley, the alley of the Difu Jingshi is not as good as the Jiangnan Water Town, no matter how you go around and follow the water, you can find the way, follow the Hongliuer, and what you see is still the green brick floor, the gray stone wall, and hit a few ox carts head-on, Hongliuer is extremely small, and she walks fast, she was almost overwhelmed twice, and she jumped to the side and patted her chest with palpitations.

Zhou Mushu was a little dazed, but Lu Yuanyan chatted with Hongliu'er like no one, "Hey, your fifth master is also unreliable, let you pick us up, and I'm not afraid that you will lose it?" ”

Hongliu'er walked around the pond and said with a smile, "This can't be blamed on the fifth master, when we arrive at the store in a while, you will be clear, this time, the fifth master may have finished picking them up." ”

Although the road turned around, it was not far, more than half a step away from the distance of about two streets, Hongliuer finally stopped in front of a low door, squatted down, followed a brick, advanced with one palm, and a burst of dust appeared, Hongliuer quickly retracted, and did not forget to stretch out her head in the ash, "Wait a minute, I'll open the door immediately." ”

The low door was quickly opened, and Zhou Mushu was standing at the door, when a cold air flowed all over his body, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where is it?" ”

Lu Yuanyan had already lifted his robe and bent down to get in, leaving a sentence, "Ten tortures, bring the door shut." ”

Zhou Mushu shuddered and cursed secretly, but still bent down and followed in, closed the door with his hand, and after he completely entered, he found that the blue brick and earth alley inside and outside were very different, a long aisle, a slippery porcelain wall stretched to the end, and a smooth brown floor that only large families could use under his feet, and Western iron lampstands were hung on both sides, and faint candles were lit.

Lu Yuanyan pointed to the iron lampstand and said, "See, the underworld is also following the era of the top, Ge Lao Wu is really a person who will enjoy it." ”

Zhou Mushu said, "But he doesn't look like it." ”

Hong Liu'er smiled "hey, hey, hey", and was about to answer, when a heart-rending roar suddenly came from the bottom of the passage, "Ahh

The roar was extremely loud, and the trend here was very empty, exploding in his ears, Zhou Mushu covered his ears, and he could clearly feel that the emotions in it were obviously not shock, nor fear, but a scream caused by extreme pain.

Hongliu'er's face changed when she landed, and the speed under her feet also increased a little, clapping her hands, "Eh, my sixth master, hurry up, this show has begun!" ”

Lu Yuanyan stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly dragged Zhou Mushu inside, and at the end of the door was a wooden door, the door was installed with a yellow and clear copper ring and a lock, and the door extended outward with two black tile eaves corners, and there was a vertical spine kiss squatting on each of the eaves.

But here is a little different, on the roof of the palace is a fairy in green clothes riding a big rooster, on the head of this is a long fish with three folds, and a ghost with a green face and fangs and flying ears on the body, Hongliuer is tiptoeing to open the door, but was stopped by Lu Yuanyan raised his hand, and jumped to his feet in a hurry, "Sixth master... You, you... What is this for? ”

"Don't be in a hurry, his singing is not as good as Shangtou and Jiatang." Lu Yuanyan waved his hand and said to Zhou Mushu, "Do you know what this thing is called and what it means?" ”

Zhou Mushu understood it well, and he didn't blink his eyes, "Little ghost slippery fish." ”

Lu Yuanyan was stunned, Hong Liu'er laughed so much that her whole body was shaking, and she gave a thumbs up, "Gao apprentice, Gao apprentice." ”

"That's right." Lu Yuanyan gritted his teeth and said. "But he also has a big name, called 'Chopping Three Paths', you guess what it means."

Zhou Mushu didn't like to pretend to understand, so he protected his head and went to the side, "I don't know, you speak." ”

Fortunately, Lu Yuanyan didn't mean to beat him in front of Hongliu'er, and knew, "I told you, after passing the ghost gate, it is Huangquan Road, do you remember where Huangquan Road leads?" ”

"Lethe." Zhou Mushu thought about it, this is common sense, something that three-year-old children know, and added, "It's also called Santuhe." ”

"Not bad." Lu Yuanyan nodded, "This fish is unique to the Santu River, called 'Cutting Throat Fish', but he doesn't cut people's throats, only cuts the throats of ghosts, there are always some ghosts who are greedy for the world in vain trying to cross the Santu River, and when they encounter this fish, they can't get through it no matter what, so they put it on the roof, and on the ground, 'Immortals ride phoenixes', 'Immortals ride chickens' is a truth, you can watch, but you can never take a step forward." ”

Zhou Mushu smiled stiffly, "Then it's hard to get out of this door." ”

Hong Liu'er interjected, "That's it, the fifth master of our family is on this ghost road, no one dares to say two, I think I was on the Gobi back then..."

"Ahh

Hongliu'er patted her head, "Hurry up, open the door, open the door." ”

When Lu Yuanyan heard the word "Gobi", he had already begun to have a stomachache, and bent down to open the door without ambiguity, when the door opened, Zhou Mushu thought that he was using lynching to torture someone or a ghost, but behind the door was just a half-large room with a foreign lamp hanging in the middle of the roof, and there was only one platform in the middle of the light, and there was a tool like a black iron pipe on the platform, countless screws were installed on the side, and there was an iron handle, and there were two chairs on the side.

On the edge of the platform stood a man in a black suit vest with a big back comb, holding a steaming cigar in his mouth, and when he heard Lu Yuanyan and them coming in, he spat fiercely at the iron pipe, "Bah, what kind of hero do I pretend to be." ”

Zhou Mushu stared at the tube, there seemed to be something trembling in it, but there was a certain insistence on it.

"Yo, the apprentice brought it too?" The man turned his head against the dim light, and immediately changed his tone, Zhou Mushu looked at him at this time, and after only one glance, he exclaimed, "Fifth Master Ge? ”

Ge Lao Wu had already taken off his robe, his beard had been shaved to a thin layer on his lips, and he was wearing a straight shirt and a suit vest, not to mention how handsome he looked, at least he looked like a serious businessman boss, far from the obscene Taoist priest before.

Lu Yuanyan looked at him twice and commented, "You can barely have a time when you look like a dog." ”

Ge Lao Wu threw away the cigar, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for them to sit, Lu Yuanyan did not shirk, pulled Zhou Mushu to sit down, Hongliu'er saw that they had arrived, bent slightly, and retreated, Zhou Mushu looked at this place twice, he felt that this room was very large, and there seemed to be a faint emotion coming from all directions and the iron pipes in the middle.

He quietly stretched out his hand and touched it into the darkness behind him, and sure enough, it was just like he thought, it was not a wall, but a very heavy cold air, and his hand poked into it again, and he touched a silky thing, he suddenly froze, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but the thing seemed to be a living thing, and it was wrapped around his fingers.

Zhou Mushu secretly scolded that something was wrong, pulled hard, and rolled out with something gurgling, and at the same time he turned around in surprise and rolled off the chair, the other Lu Yuanyan was watching Ge Lao Wu work, and both of them turned their heads in shock by this movement.

I saw Zhou Mushu fall on his back, grab a ball of hair and sit on the ground, the hair was gray-white, and there was a chopstick stuck in it, and at the same time, a corner of the fancy robe hung down from the darkness.

Ge Lao Wu, "......"

Lu Yuanyan, "......"

"Little brother, you want to scare me to death, people scare ghosts to scare ghosts!" Ge Lao Wu sighed, grabbed the hair and threw it into the darkness, "Lao Tzu thought those hard mouths came out." ”

"I'm sorry...," Zhou Mushu said, "I just feel that something is staring at me inside..." ”

Ge Lao Wu took out a roll of white cloth from the table and wrapped it around his hand, "Yes, this apology is very fast, I'm embarrassed to say anything." ”

Lu Yuanyan said, "What are you aware of again?" ”

"Pain." Zhou Mushu patted the soil on his body, and changed his words again, "severe pain".

Lu Yuanyan knocked on the platform with Ge Lao Wu, "Did you hear it, my apprentice said it, at most, it is a severe pain, it is not better to live than to die, and it can make a." ”

Ge Lao Wu smiled, and climbed the iron handle with both hands, "Waiting for your fifth master to teach you how to toss the ghost cub." ”

Lu Yuanyan suddenly said, "Wait, turn on the lights." ”

Ge Lao Wu's movements froze, and he said in disbelief, "Are you sure you want to open it all?" ”

Lu Yuanyan affirmed, "Open it all." ”

Ge Lao Wu swept Zhou Mushu again, and hesitated, "It's nothing for us two rough old men, your little apprentice is still a tender seedling in the motherland, aren't you afraid of getting sick?" Those fucking ugly things. ”

"I'm afraid of a fart, if he wants to be afraid of this, what else can I teach him?" Lu Yuanyan waved his hand, "Go open, go open." ”

Ge Lao Wu sighed, turned around and walked into the darkness, "Yes, it's not me, it's scared." ”

While Ge Lao Wu was gone, Lu Yuanyan grabbed his arm, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Stabilize your teacher for a while, don't lose face." ”

Although Zhou Mushu knew that there was nothing good, he nodded with a wry smile.

Lu Yuanyan had to nod his head and admit it, before letting go of his hand, as soon as he let go, the whole room suddenly brightened, and Zhou Mushu also saw the situation in front of him clearly, if it wasn't for Lu Yuanyan's quick eyes to stabilize his chair, he was afraid that he would fall down again.

Zhou Mushu couldn't describe what it was, a row of jars clinging to the wall, curled up one by one in a transparent shell, unable to distinguish whether it was a human or a ghost, some were white, without a little blood, the white hair on the top of the head was sparse, because of the curled up, he couldn't see his eyes, and the skin of his whole body was huddled together like dehydration and wrinkled, if it weren't for the arms and legs that could barely be seen, he was afraid that he would treat this thing as a worm, and these transparent jars were also like cocoons waiting to hatch.

Zhou Mushu forced his nausea and looked around, the room was in its original form, and the entire wall was covered with this thing, and there were a few green ones, compared to the white ones, the nausea was even worse.

Ge Lao Wu rubbed his hands, "Little brother, are you okay?" ”

Lu Yuanyan said, "What do you feel?" ”

Zhou Mushu reluctantly turned around and summarized simply, "It looks like a human maggot and a green worm." ”

Ge Lao Wu laughed "hahaha", "It is worthy of the apprentice you brought out." ”

Lu Yuanyan didn't make a speech, but said, "You just let my apprentice see the true face of these maggots and green worms." ”

Ge Lao Wu rolled up his sleeve by two inches, "Give it to me, give it to me!" ”

Zhou Mushu saw Ge Lao Wu go up and hold the handle again, those people seemed to tremble suddenly, one of them even barely raised his head, a pair of red eyes, a very small black spot in the middle of the eyeball seemed to be a pupil, the mouth turned up, you could see the fangs inside, Zhou Mushu unconsciously stared at the pair of pupils, but the person didn't seem to see him, black bean-like eyes stared at the handle in Ge Lao Wu's hand.

Asking for help, fear was a mixture of two emotions, and Zhou Mushu turned his face uncomfortably.

Ge Lao Wu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and twisted the handle in his hand, and in the next second, the entire round suddenly screamed, and the people in the transparent cocoon turned over, like live fish boiled in boiling water, jumping up and down, the wrinkled skin twitched desperately, frantically slapping the transparent wall that bound them, and even a viscous red and blue mixed liquid flowed out of the mouth, and the blood-red eyes seemed to burst out of the sockets.

Zhou Mushu only felt that the scene was so disgusting that it couldn't be worse, and his legs couldn't stop trembling a little, but he was forced by Lu Yuanyan's request just now, so he held his breath and didn't speak.

Lu Yuanyan looked at those monsters and said helplessly, "Tsk, you still don't want to say it?" ”

A hideous expression suddenly appeared on Ge Laowu's face, "Mom, when you were rampant and domineering, I didn't see such a backbone, I'm sorry." ”

Lu Yuanyan looked at the maggots and green worms indifferently, and said coldly, "I don't need to show mercy to my subordinates, apprentice, I will let you take out the things you are carrying." ”

In the two days of more than half a step, Lu Yuanyan asked the proprietress to find a leather bag on the ground and let him straddle it, Zhou Mushu heard that he hurriedly opened the bag that had been protecting his stomach and handed the things to Lu Yuanyan.

Lu Yuanyan said, "Take it, walk forward, stick to the glass, face those things, walk around this room, who wants to tell me." ”

Zhou Mushu took a few steps back, "Do you really want to go?" ”

Lu Yuanyan glared at him, "I am determined to go!" ”

Zhou Mushu walked on the way to those transparent cocoons because he firmly believed that ghosts were afraid of wicked people, and he had already taken out all the swear words he had collected and scolded him in his heart, and he walked like Huangquan Road in just a short distance, and when the ants crawled to the jar, the monster inside seemed to feel something, slowly turned his head, and Zhou Mushu took a look through the glass.

Those red and cyan liquid flowed down the glass, goosebumps instantly surged all over his body, Zhou Mushu only felt that his hair must be standing up, and he didn't have time to think about it, he slammed the water bowl on the glass, and the monster inside suddenly let out a miserable scream, and the skin on his face began to glow with a layer of burnt black, making a crackling sound.

Ge Lao Wu hugged his arms and sighed, "It's really a good thing." ”

Lu Yuanyan got up from his chair, silently walked to the door of those monsters, and read out a long list of strange words, Zhou Mushu couldn't understand it, but he knew that it was not Manchu, let alone Chinese.

After saying the first one, he pulled Zhou Mushu and fastened the water bowl to the second glass, the same charred black, the same wailing and screaming, and the same unknown incantation.

Ge Lao Wu scratched his head, "Your love of talking birds has really not changed." ”

Lu Yuanyan ignored him, just continued to pull Zhou Mushu down, and when he reached the seventh transparent cocoon, after reciting the spell, the monster's mouth squirmed twice, Zhou Mushu suddenly paused, and he heard a very clear word explode in his mind.

Lu Yuanyan smiled, "What did you hear?" ”

Zhou Mushu turned his head in a daze, and spit out three words like a dream, "Vicious Dog Ridge." ”
