The Taoist priest surnamed Ma was indeed a reckless man, and he did not notice my intentions at all. Instead, he enthusiastically asked, "What did you lose?" ”

I smiled and said perfunctorily, "It doesn't matter. If you can find the best, forget it if you can't find it. ”

After eating, Master Ma led me out of the village. While walking, he trumpeted Wang Lao Dao, how about my master.

I shook my head and laughed without saying a word.

A few minutes later, Ma Daoist led me outside the village. He scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be around here." You look for it. ”

I nodded, standing on the top of the wasteland and looking sneakily. Not far away, I saw two villagers sitting cross-legged on the ground smoking cigarettes, and in front of them, there was a clear red line.

I am happy in my heart, this red line is probably the cinnabar line.

I sneaked over, and when I was halfway there, I suddenly thought: Why are these two villagers sitting here? Did they specifically look at this cinnabar line? But it's right to think about it, the cinnabar line was drawn here to trap the old gentleman, and it seems very reasonable that Wang Laodao sent someone to guard it.

I searched near the cinnabar line and found several lonely graves. In the middle of the tomb, there is a very small temple. Joy and death.

I looked at this little temple with some surprise and thought: what temple would be built in the middle of the tomb?

I stared at the small temple for a while, and I was basically convinced. This is the empty house of Yucheng. Because those cinnabar lines were obviously painted to trap this room.

Daoist Ma said behind me: "Brother Zhao, have you found your things?" ”

I shook my head helplessly and said, "Did you pick it up?" ”

Ma Daoist took me to the cinnabar line and said to the two villagers, "Have you picked up anything here?" ”

The villager shook his head: "No." ”

Then the two of them looked at me strangely and said, "Isn't this the evil ghost we caught last night?" Dao Chief, how do you walk with him? ”

Ma Daoshi's face turned red, and he was probably embarrassed to admit that he had made a mistake. He whispered: "It's the ghost, my master has done it, and he has already driven the little ghost away." ”

With that, he gave me a nervous look. I smiled knowingly and didn't dismantle him.

There was a look of gratitude in Ma Daoshi's eyes. Maybe it was to repay me, or maybe it was to divert the topic, he began to urge the villagers loudly: You think about it, have you picked up anything?

The two villagers looked at me innocently and asked, "This little brother, what did you drop?" ”

I had a flash of inspiration and remembered that Mr. Lu's elixir had come, so I said, "It's a black bead." Very conspicuous. ”

The two villagers said suspiciously, "I really haven't seen this." ”

I tried my best to look anxious and said, "Then can you help me find it?" ”

The two villagers, along with Ma Daoist, agreed. They kept their heads down and searched carefully on the ground.

My heart was pounding. Taking advantage of the time when the three of them looked down, they quietly stretched out their feet and wiped out half a meter of cinnabar thread on the ground.

Then I pretended to be fine, walked away from the distance, and searched the ground as well.

At this time, one of the villagers suddenly shouted in panic: "Look there. ”

I looked up and followed his fingers. I noticed two whirlwinds rising in the middle of the grave, which quickly merged into one, and then rushed towards us with great speed.

The two villagers screamed in fright, turned around and ran.

Behind them, the priest shouted, "What are you afraid of? There is a cinnabar line here, and the old monster doesn't dare to come over. ”

He had just finished shouting this, and suddenly exclaimed, "Why is the cinnabar line broken?" Then, he couldn't take care of me anymore and turned around and ran.

I stood far away, looking at the whirlwind that was getting closer and closer, and thought: I have done a good deed today, you have escaped, and I will leave here.

Seeing that the whirlwind was approaching that gap. Suddenly, I heard a shrill chirping in the distance. The sound grew louder and louder, and I only listened to it for a few seconds before I felt terrified.

A moment later, there was a loud bang in front of me. Stirred up a cloud of dust.

I looked at the ground dumbfounded, and just where the cinnabar line broke, a peachwood sword appeared. It was halfway into the dirt and half on the ground. Still shaking, humming.

I seemed to hear a sigh. Then the two whirlwinds reluctantly retreated.

I thought to myself, "Oh no, someone stopped the old gentleman." "I know that our plan is eighty percent of what people can see through. I'd better slip away.

Unexpectedly, I had just run a few steps when I saw Wang Laodao standing in front of me with his hands in his hands. He stared at me sternly.

I smiled at him and said with a little weakness, "Senior, why are you here?" ”

Wang Laodao asked bluntly: "Why did you erase the cinnabar line?" ”

I felt weak in my heart and said, "Cinnabar line? What cinnabar line? I don't know. ”

Wang Laodao grabbed my wrist, and I felt like iron pliers were clamping me.

He glared at me and said word by word, "Why do you have such a heavy ghost qi on your body?" Where the hell did you come from? ”

I looked at him nervously and couldn't say a word.

At this time, Ma Daoist ran over and said nervously, "Master, that cinnabar thread is broken." ”

Wang Laodao kicked angrily, kicked Ma Daoist to the ground, and then drank: "The cinnabar line is broken, you should hold the sword and defend it." It's a shame for me that you're so good that you turn around and run. ”

Ma Daoist lowered his head and stood beside him, not daring to say a word.

Wang Laodao pointed at me and said, "This kid is full of ghosts, and his origin is unknown. The cinnabar thread was erased by him. You take him into the village, seemingly. ”

Daoist Ma agreed, grabbed me, and walked back with a push.

This time I didn't use a rope, but the Ma Taoist was tall and big, and with the help of two villagers in the distance, there was no way for me to escape.

The villagers looked at the two of us in amazement and asked Daoist Ma, "Daoist, isn't this little brother's ghost body cured?" Why did you catch it again? ”

Ma Daoist was stunned for a moment, and then searched his stomach to make an excuse: "Actually, it was not cured." But it's not like my master can't do it. He did it on purpose. It's called luring the snake out of the hole, understand? Just now, this kid broke the cinnabar line, obviously to help the old monster escape. Hehe, this time, their purpose is very obvious. You'll have to keep this line. ”

The two villagers nervously agreed.

I lowered my head and staggered towards the village, thinking as I walked: "Daoist Ma really said all kinds of big things in order to brag about his master." ”

I muttered something in my heart, and suddenly I thought again: "Is it possible that the words of Daoist Ma are true?" Wang Laodao deliberately let me go to test me? ”

I remembered that the old gentleman had said that Wang Laodao had injured him with a trick before trapping him with cinnabar thread.

Looking at it this way, Wang Laodao seems to like this kind of trick very much. Eighty percent of my calculations today were calculated by him. I could have walked out of here with dignity. But the moment I erased the cinnabar line, I had clearly told Wang Lao Dao that I was in the same group as these little ghosts.

When I think of this, I regret it even more.

Ma Daoist unceremoniously pushed me into the room from yesterday, and then locked the door again.

I didn't expect yesterday's old gentleman to come to me again. With Wang Laodao sitting here, he shouldn't dare.

I sat in the room for a while when the door opened. Wang Laodao walked in slowly. He stood at the door and stared at me for a moment, then said, "Young man, tell me honestly, where did you come from?" ”

I glared and said, "I'm human." ”

Wang Laodao nodded: "I know you are human." But what I wonder is, since you are a person, why do you do things for the fox demon. ”

I was about to argue. Wang Laodao waved his hand: "You don't have to lie, I see your every move." ”

I know that it is useless to say anything to this old Taoist priest, he has determined that I am an accomplice of the ghosts, and no matter how I can defend myself, it will be in vain. Instead of proving that I am a living person here, it is better to call Secretary Wang and take me away directly.

So I said, "I'm going to call my friend." ”

Wang Laodao sneered: "You can't do anything until I catch that old fox." ”
