I gasped for a long time on the ground. It gradually eased up. The lights in the courtyard were half extinguished, and as the brightness decreased, it finally looked like a ghost cave.

I looked left and right, and Xue Qian's face was sallow, lying beside me. I said, "Old Xue, how did you make it look like this?" ”

Xue Qian said weakly: "It's not because of your knife? Fortunately, you have a cushion in front, otherwise I would have died this time. ”

I turned my head to look at the knife. It lay on the ground in a dignified manner, wrapped in black human skin, as if it had never been pulled out.

I remembered the terrifying sound of the dragon just now, and when I looked at the knife again, there was a hint of fear in my eyes. I thought to myself, "I don't want to pull it out again in my life." ”

When Xue Qian and I were talking, we suddenly heard someone behind us say, "Fellow Daoist, thank you very much." ”

I turned my head with great effort and saw Mr. Lu sitting cross-legged on the ground, and in front of him was actually the ancestor master.

The two men looked peaceful, as if they had been best friends for many years.

I couldn't help but blurt out, "What's going on?" ”

Xue Qian closed her eyes slightly and said, "You fainted just now and didn't see it." Your knife is so powerful that it stabs the old fellow. Then he was like a leaky ball. People have softened, and their tempers have softened. ”

I shifted with great effort, squinting at the two of them.

Master Zu's body really became soft and collapsed, and he was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mr. Lu said with some emotion: "Senior, I don't know whether to be happy or sad now. Although you have regained your senses, the injuries on your body do not seem to be well. ”

There was no expression on Master Zu's face, only his voice was very peaceful: "That soul knife is just right to restrain a demon king like me." Naturally, you should rejoice. The old way has been chivalrous and righteous all his life, subduing demons and eliminating demons. After he died, he did such things, and he had no shame to remain in heaven and earth any longer. ”

He sighed and said, "In my life, I am obsessed with Taoism. In the end, he ended up going crazy. This knife hurt me, and I could no longer use what I had learned all my life, and it was a blessing in disguise, but I regained a ray of clarity. Hey, actually, where can I be called the ancestor of my little Taoism? ”

Mr. Lu touted: "Throughout the ages, how many people can there be in the self-opening faction? Although the old-timed sect is not as well-known as Maoshan and Shenxiao, it is also very remarkable. The Taoist priests who come here call you Master Zu, and they can be regarded as worshipping under your door. ”

Master Zu shook his head and said, "Back then, I was just like you, but by chance, I got a treasure. That's why I have some cultivation. But this treasure has brought me trouble. Some people think that I am lowly and unworthy of carrying a heavy treasure, so they chase me all the way, otherwise, I would not have escaped here. ”

Master Zu sighed and said, "I never thought that even if I came here, I would still be discovered. They instructed the people in the water village to poison me. ”

I suddenly realized, and thought: I said, how can you be decent, the people of Shuizhai will take revenge and poison you.

Master Zu laughed and said, "They rummaged through the things I was carrying, but they didn't find such a treasure." Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid this thing will be cheaper for you today. ”

I saw that his voice was serene, and he didn't seem to be harmful, so I dared to ask, "What kind of treasure are you?" ”

Master Zu glanced back at me, but did not speak. Then I heard him say, "Fellow Daoist, the woman you brought with you is indeed a special physique, if it takes time, I am afraid that it will be a great achievement, but unfortunately you are still in a hurry." ”

Mr. Lu smiled bitterly: "If I don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to come again." ”

Master Zu said again: "But the two dolls you brought today don't seem to have any skills. ”

Mr. Lu pointed at Xue Qian and said, "This one is the son of that woman, and he also has a statue of Zhong Kui on him." ”

Master Zu's voice was a little moved: "It's rare, it's rare." ”

Mr. Lu pointed at me again: "Don't underestimate this little brother. Although he was young, he had already become the owner of the empty house. ”

When Master Zu heard this, he suddenly jumped up. I don't have the weakness I used to look like before. He lunged at me and slammed it on top of me.

I screamed in fright, turned my head and tried to run, but I was so badly injured that I couldn't escape. Master Zu slammed it on me. Grabbing me by the collar, he angrily shouted, "It's you." ”

I shuddered: "It's not me, it's not me. ”

Master Zu shouted angrily: "You instructed the people in Shuizhai to poison it." You are my great enemy. ”

He raised his hand, as if ready to slap it down at any moment.

But at this time, I saw that his arm was rotting inch by inch. By the time his palm fell, it had turned into a piece of white bone.

Then, the white bone gently slapped against my head, and there was no more strength.

I reached out and pushed him away. By the time I struggled to stand up, the majestic Master Zu had turned into a dry bone.

Mr. Lu reached out and picked up a black bead from the dry bone. He said suspiciously, "Is this what kind of treasure is this?" The old-timers swallowed the beads in their stomachs, no wonder those people couldn't find them. ”

I said with a sigh of relief, "This neurosis." When did I hurt him? It almost scared me to death just now. ”

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "You didn't hurt him. but the empty house that had hurt him. That's why he was so excited when he heard that you were the owner of the empty house. "Pit field number.

I said with some frustration: "It seems that the name of the empty house is not very good." ”

Xue Qian looked at me, then at Mr. Lu, and he said with a smile: "Old Dao Lu, I'm afraid you will be unlucky in the future." Is your ability stronger than that of Master Zu? He's all killed by this thing, and guess how long you'll live? ”

Mr. Lu's face immediately became gloomy. But he hid the beads in his bosom and said, "As long as you two don't talk nonsense, I'll be safe." ”

Then he knelt down, bowed to the white bone twice, and said, "It is time for me to fulfill my promise and bury him well." ”

As soon as he said this, the earth began to fall from the top of our heads. Many of the lights were extinguished.

I grabbed Mr. Lu and said, "Let's go, without the support of Master Zu, I'm afraid it will collapse." ”

Mr. Lu sighed, stood up, and reached out to carry his body behind him. Ran out first.

When I ran to the gate, I saw that the two beasts had been transformed back into stone lions. It's just that the two of them shook their heads, and they still seemed to be trying to find a way to break free from the copper coins on their bodies.

I glanced back and saw that the souls that had been refined by my ancestor were all standing there quietly. They didn't run away, they didn't dodge, they looked like the living dead in the corpse village.

Mr. Lu shouted, "They don't have a master anymore. Soon the soul will be gone. Don't look at it, let's go. ”

I sighed and thought to myself, "Poor, really pathetic. ”

The three of us hurried out of the small hole, and then gritted our teeth and crawled to the mouth of the well. It's already dark outside.

By this time, I was exhausted. Mr. Lu and Xue Qian are no better. The three of us are supporting each other. Try to stay away from the ghost village. Because this place, it has begun to collapse.

After we escaped from the ghost village, we lay down until dawn. After recovering some strength, he struggled back to the corpse village.

Mr. Lu once forcibly forced out the steel needle in his body, and now his condition is very bad. The three of us went headlong into the hut where we had rested, and we could no longer walk.

I lay on the ground and looked at the three oil lamps in the room. They are still burning quietly.

Mr. Lu was lying on the ground, unconscious. He kept muttering something out of his mouth. I leaned over and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Mr. Lu's voice was very weak: "Sue sù wizard, don't turn off the lights, we succeeded." ”
