004 The red eyebrows are old
I followed the old evil into the house, and found that the room was dim, but fortunately there were a few rays of sunset light coming in through the crack in the door, and I could see the outline more or less, and I could vaguely feel that it was very spacious. On both sides of the lobby of the www.biquge.info room are neatly arranged mahogany square chairs, and the two huge white marble seats on the high position in front are as stable as Mount Tai, and the rock wall behind the seats is a mural of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and the style is about that of the Sui and Tang dynasties. I sighed in my heart, I didn't expect that such a treasure was hidden in this small land in our county.
After a rough look, I noticed that on the white marble seat on the right, an old man in white sat upright, like a statue in the dim light, a faint twilight shone through the dust on the chair, and a shadow of a flame burned faintly, and then looked closely, it was actually the red eyebrows that the old evil said, and the long red eyebrows hung down to the armrest of the chair.
The old evil walked under the white marble chair and knelt down to bow: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" Then he kowtowed three times, and seeing that the red eyebrows did not respond, he raised his voice again and repeated, followed by a few more rings.
I stood next to me and didn't dare to come out, and saw Bai Dun sitting on the square chair next to me, cross-legged and happy. The old evil turned his face sideways and asked him in a mosquito-like whisper, "Boy, is Master drunk or asleep?" ”
Bai Dun hurriedly shouted to the old man above, "Master, my second senior brother asked you if you were drunk or asleep?" ”
The old evil was so frightened that he shuddered, and secretly complained in his heart, scolding the naughty Bai Dun. At this moment, the old man's voice was like a bell and he said angrily, "Animals, how dare you be so presumptuous? ”
The old evil hurriedly bowed again: "The apprentice doesn't dare, I'm worried about the master's body, and I'm afraid that your old man will catch a cold." The apprentice is not filial, he has not visited his teacher for two years after going down the mountain, and he is very worried about it, everything is okay with the master? ”
"Humph! Let me ask you, when the teacher drove you down the mountain, he made a rule that you were not allowed to step into the Duji Peak for half a step within three years, and this is still half a year before the three-year limit, how can you violate the teacher's training? ”
"The master doesn't know, since the apprentice went down the mountain, he carefully followed the teacher's training, cultivated himself, benefited the people, and did not dare to make a mistake. The old evil pouted his ass and replied reverently, and I stood behind and spoke in my heart: Old evil, you are really shameless.
"Don't be shameless, I ordered your senior brother to go down the mountain to inquire about your situation, and I know that your bad habits have not changed, but when I saw that you were also helpful, I left you alone..."
"What the master taught is that the disciple must change his past and not live up to the teacher's kindness. It's just that right now, my friend is in trouble, and I ask Master to save him from fire and water... The apprentice came this time to visit your old man's house, and brought two bottles of good wine for Master to appreciate..."
From beginning to end, the red eyebrows were closed and the old man was not moving, and when he heard the old evil mention of good wine, his eyes opened a slit in an instant, and he glanced at the gift box next to the old evil. The old evil did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the box and took out Louis XIII and handed it to Bai Dun, who took the wine and walked to the stage leisurely, came to the table next to the old man with red eyebrows, and poured the wine into the white porcelain wine glass. Under the expectant gaze of me and the old evil man, the red-eyed old man took the wine glass and drank it all, but the wine spurted out with a pop in less than half a second. The old evil pounded his chest, opening his teeth and dancing his claws as if to catch the sprayed wine in the air, and I also felt a pain in my flesh, thinking how much silver this Nima would get for a bite. The old evil said bitterly: "Master..."
"Brute, how dare you tease your teacher with glucose water?"
"Master, this is foreign wine, I said in my heart that you haven't drunk it, I specially bought it to honor you, so that your old man can also open foreign meat, which is different from our Chinese wine, each has its own taste, ordinary people can't afford to drink this wine, you... You're such a waste..."
The red-eyed old man shook his head, as if he was smelling the smell, and said, "Hmm... This wine is indeed a little fragrant, but you can be regarded as filial piety, and you are the leader of the teacher! Straight down, what's the trouble? ”
Only then did the old evil settle down, get up from the ground, turn around and come to me, stretched out his hand, and motioned for me to give him something, so I hurriedly took out a white linen bag from my trouser pocket and handed it to him.
"Master, you can take a look at this first..."After speaking, he gave Bai Dun the white cloth wrap and brought it up.
After taking it, the red-eyed old man gently picked it with his two fingers and opened the bag, first glanced at it, saw something strange, and then turned to widen the old eyes and look at it carefully, and his expression changed from the previous contempt to solemnity. As the wrench fingers rotated between his fingers, he nodded and shook his head, as if he was affirming something and denying something. There was a slight sound in his mouth. After being silent for a long time, he spoke: "Second son, where did this thing come from?" ”
When the old evil Zeng Hongmei looked at the objects, he was already sitting next to Bai Dun and drinking tea, and when he heard the teacher's question, he hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up, and told him in detail what happened in my shop yesterday.
After hearing this, the red-eyed old man moved his gaze to me, and the first time I looked at the old man, I chuckled in my heart, this kind of gaze is deep and far-reaching, sharp but quiet, not angry and self-authoritative, making people uncomfortable, no wonder the old evil is usually arrogant and domineering, and he is also respectful and fearful in front of him.
"Young man, you are a friend of the second son?" The red-eyed old man asked me.
"Exactly." I clasped my fists and saluted, and said, "Junior Niu Xiaoniu, meet for the first time, please teach your seniors." ”
The red-eyed old man nodded, turned his head and asked the old evil: "Second son, what do you think of this object?" Let's listen to it for the teacher. ”
The old evil scratched his head, his face was embarrassed, and his heart said How do I know? But since the master let me say it, I can only talk about it. So he pretended to clear his throat, and said without pretending to understand: "Master, in my apprentice's humble opinion, this object... This thing... There are a lot of weirdness. ”
Bai Dun, who was sitting next to him, looked at his senior brother with an embarrassed expression, and laughed happily.
The old evil glared at Bai Dun, wanting to scold this naughty junior brother, but he looked at the red-eyed old man, and knew that the old man loved this little junior brother the most, so he had no choice but to give up, rolled his eyes, and continued: "I once heard you always mention the ghost market to me, talking about the transaction between people and ghosts. According to what Master said, the ghost market should be at the junction of the two worlds of yin and yang, constantly changing with the ups and downs of reincarnation. So the apprentice never figured out why the ghost old man could make a deal with the calf in broad daylight? Could it be that Maverick's shop is a ghost market? Isn't that scientific..."
"That's it!" The red-eyed old man stroked his long eyebrows and interrupted the old evil's words, "It seems that you haven't forgotten what you said as a teacher, and I heard you go through the nonsense, but there is still a point to the point." ”
After speaking, the red-eyed old man turned to me again, stared at me for a moment, and asked: "Second son friend, old man and ask you, is the birthday of the fifteenth son of July?" ”
I was shocked when I heard this, and I was amazed, and nodded again and again: "My predecessor is really a master in the world!" ”
"Dare to ask your relatives at home...", the red-eyed old man continued to ask.
"Master, like my little brother, he was an orphan, a hard-working child, he was abandoned at birth, and his grandfather picked him up and brought him home as a grandson. A few years ago, his grandfather went out on errands and never came back..."The old evil saw that I was speechless for a while to help me answer, and after speaking, he glanced at Bai Dun again, and Bai Dun looked at me with big bright eyes.
"Oh!" The red-eyed elder sighed, "As expected, the calf was born, you were born on the 15th day of the seventh month, which is the day when a hundred ghosts go together, and when it coincides with the son of extreme yin, the weight of the yin qi in your life is unsurpassed." To use the title of our Xuan Realm, you are a ghost. ”
Listening to the words of the red-eyed elder, I suddenly went blank, and my ears buzzed like bees, especially the three words "ghost life", which made me panic.
"So what happened yesterday has something to do with my identity as a ghost?" I asked.
"Of course... You are destined to suffer this fate. What the second son said is true, the ghost market is a forbidden place for mortals, but you are different, the ghost market is as ubiquitous to you as this vast world. Once the evil spirits have done enough, they can naturally find you and trade the ghost market's artifacts with you. The red-eyed old man closed his eyes slightly, like Lang Zhong who gave people a pulse, and shook his head and said.
After listening to this, the old evil and I suddenly realized, and I asked, "Dare to ask the seniors, why did the evil ghost do this?" ”
"Hehe..."The red-eyed old man stroked his eyebrows and smiled, "People have seven emotions and six desires, and so do ghosts." You were born with a ghostly life, and you are not a good body. I made a contract with you through the ghost city, and I can absorb the once-in-a-lifetime yin and yang essence of your body, and then borrow your body to help him escape the reincarnation of the sixth world and become the Mahayana of the underworld..."
"Is there a way to save me?" I asked anxiously.
"Alas... Although the old decay has practiced for decades, if you want to solve your predicament, I am afraid that you have more than enough heart and not enough strength... Those who can bring the ghost city artifact to the yang world are not to be underestimated, and they can't be accumulated for thousands of years... However, there is still a secret method to keep you safe for 7749 days, and you can come forward. ”
I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurried up the steps to him. The red-eyed old man couldn't help but say, twisted his red eyebrows, dipped his saliva, and wrote on my face with trembling hands like big letters.
I closed my eyes and held my breath, my heart was not a good taste, I was most annoyed by other people's saliva, when I was in elementary school, a classmate spit on me, I chased him from school to his house, if it wasn't for his big wolf dog I would have knocked out his big teeth. Later, the classmate found his brother to settle accounts with me, and his brother looked very hung and asked me if I wanted to spit on his brother's saliva, I nodded, and then he slapped me in the face. And said that you want to see how I vomit today? I covered my face and scolded, "Spicy next door!" "Ran while scolding, ran out for more than a hundred meters, and then spat in his mouth like a mouthwash and spit at them on the other side of the playground... Coincidentally, a demonic wind blew in front of me, blowing all the spit stars back on my face...
At this time, I felt a chill on my forehead, and at the same time I felt the strokes of the red eyebrows, one horizontal and one vertical, one glance and one pinch, I thought to myself, why did he write so much like the word "Wang Ba"? When the red eyebrows were drawn to the nose, I wondered if he should write "egg"? But the pen turned around, and there were more circles and dots, turning into ghost painting peach charms.
At this time, I squinted and found that Bai Dun didn't know when he ran to his master's chair, and he was also facing me, and when he saw that his master was drawing vigorously, he also wanted to compare two wrenches, so he put his fingers into his small mouth and dipped his saliva and wanted to put it on my mouth, but was stopped by the red-eyed old man, "Eh... Little thing, Hugh is going to be naughty..."
After working for a long time, the red eyebrow old man withdrew his eyebrows, I don't know if he was looking at his saliva calligraphy or my face, and then nodded with satisfaction.
I took two steps back, bowed deeply, thanked me non-stop, and asked: "The senior said that it can keep me safe on 7749 days, dare to ask what will happen after the time?" ”
"The heavenly machine cannot be revealed, and the fortune is also fate, according to the old decay, the ghost lives the people, you are auspicious, don't worry too much..."
Hearing him say this, my heart calmed down a little, and then I remembered that at this moment... So he said: "Dare to ask my seniors, can't I wash my face in the future?" ”
Bai Dun giggled: "It can be washed, I have also painted it on my face!" ”
I looked at the red-eyed old man and saw him nod his head in confirmation, so I hurriedly ran out of the lobby and came to the lotus pond outside to wash away the smell of Louis XIII and the red-eyed old man. After washing several handfuls of water, I found that the sunset on the single stem peak was like a rotten tomato reflected on the lotus pond.
I looked at the ripples on the surface of the water and suddenly noticed something strange, only the sunset and clouds on the mirror-like surface of the water, but my face was not visible. I shook my hand above the water without any reflection, and then picked up a leaf and continued to shake it, and then I could clearly see the reflection of the leaf, but only the reflection of the leaf, and I did not see the shadow of my hand holding it. I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely, and I stood up and looked down at the place where my back was facing the sunset, and there was not half a shadow...
My head suddenly grew bigger, and I hurriedly ran towards the back room with my teeth and claws......
