Although he said this in a joking tone, in my eyes, he was really the most powerful person.

Because Zhang Duangong's corpse still had some corpse gas, in order to prevent accidents, Jiang Li ignited the talisman paper and burned Zhang Duangong's corpse.

There was nothing to be found here, so Jiang Li took me out and looked at the dilapidated house not far from Zhang Duangong.

That house was where Du Hai grew up, and Jiang Li said that he might be able to get some news from there, so he took me to that house.

The house is more dilapidated than Jiang Li and I imagined, no one has lived in it for a long time, the front of the house is full of weeds, if you are not careful, you can't find out how high the threshold is, Jiang Li pushed aside the weeds outside the threshold, and stared at the wooden threshold a few times.

I asked, "What's wrong with Master?" ”

Jiang Li pointed to the threshold and said to me: "Do you know why the threshold of your township should be built higher than the threshold of other townships?" ”

I shook my head to say I didn't know.

Jiang Li smiled and said: "I have heard of your township before, and when the commune was communized, the red-haired ghosts in your township made serious trouble, and the red-haired ghosts were the zombies we talked about. Zombies have stiff limbs and can't bend, in order to prevent the red-haired ghost from entering the house, so your township has built a particularly high threshold, and the red-haired ghost can only jump and walk, if the threshold is high enough, they can't jump in. ”

I heard the second grandfather say about the red-haired ghosts, he said that the ditch next to our village used to be full of red-haired ghosts, and every day, those red-haired ghosts buried their heads in the mud by the ditch, showing their legs outside, and with a hard hand, the soil made a mooing sound. In addition, the red-haired ghost is covered with red hair, which is why it has such a name.

I thought it was just an old man's remarks scaring children, but I didn't expect it to be true.

I nodded in relief, Jiang Li bent down again to touch the lines on the threshold, and said, "This threshold has been kicked and mottled, it seems that the red-haired ghost used to frequented this family." ”

Take me in.

The smell of mold was in the house, the cobwebs had been formed everywhere, and we couldn't move forward, Jiang Li picked up a discarded wooden stick next to him and cleaned the cobwebs, and then stood in the house and looked at it repeatedly.

After about three minutes, Jiang Li said, "It seems that we are going to sleep in this room tonight." ”

I screamed on the spot, although the countryside is not very clean, but I really don't dare to live in this kind of gloomy and extremely poor house.

Jiang Li saw that my face was full of disgust, patted his forehead and said in a rather helpless tone: "I can get used to you, if it is someone else, what the master says, the apprentice must abide by it." ”

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he took off the cyan robe on his body, wrapped it around me, frowned and said, "It's always okay to sleep in my robe, if you dislike it again, I'll throw you out." ”

Where did I dare to dislike it, I immediately smiled and said to him, "Thank you, Master." ”

Jiang Li also smiled slightly, patted me on the back of the head, and let me into the house.

I stood next to him, he cleaned up in the house, Jiang Li didn't seem to be a person who could do housework, but to my surprise, this dirty and messy house was quickly cleaned up by him.

When it was done, and it was getting dark, he laid clean straw on the bed and put everything else on it before letting me lie down, and he sat on the edge of my bed.

I wrapped him in his robe, and when I saw that he didn't sleep, I was a little curious, and I didn't want to ask him why he didn't sleep, so I changed the subject: "Why do we live here?" ”

Jiang Li said: "The shrine mountain in this house is dedicated to the statue of Guanyin, and even the house charm on the beam of the house is covered by the child charm, in addition, there are many places in this house that are pasted with the child charm. It can be seen from this that although Du Hai lives in this family, he is not welcomed, and they do not regard Du Hai as their son at all. ”

I poked my head out and asked, "But we can't live here." ”

Jiang Li looked back at me, even more helpless than just now, but finally sighed and said, "Why do you have so many problems, you will know in a while, go to sleep." ”

I sighed, lay down and tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't sleep, so I simply sat up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Li.

Only when he sat up did he see that Jiang Li's eyes had not opened, and his peachwood sword was also erected beside him, his posture was very peculiar, but it was also very sacred.

Most of the time I felt that I was paying attention to him, Jiang Li said: "This is called meditation, the essentials of meditation are five hearts facing the sky, the palms of the hands and the palms of the feet have a total of four hearts, plus the top of the head, a total of five hearts, the five hearts are facing the sky can calm down the fastest time, and the ground is too dirty, so I only use three hearts to the sky, you can also try." ”

I sat up as soon as I heard that.

Jiang Li opened his eyes and squinted at me, shook his head and closed his eyes, obviously I didn't do it right.

After sitting like this for almost an hour, Jiang Li suddenly said: "Chen Xiao, you remember, if you want to make demons and monsters afraid of you, you must first calm down and stop thinking, even if you are afraid, you must pretend to be fearless, this is called momentum." ”

I nodded yes, and immediately knew why he was saying this to me.

As soon as I nodded, at least dozens of children suddenly appeared in this room, all of them standing next to us, and when I took a closer look, these black shadows turned out to be one child after another, so frightened that I immediately grabbed Jiang Li's clothes.

The kids were all looking at me with curiosity in their eyes.

Knowing that I was looking at them, one of the children asked, "Are you also a metamorphosis?" ”

I didn't know how to answer, Jiang Li immediately hinted at me admitting.

If I were alone in this environment, I would definitely be scared, but with Jiang Li by my side, this sense of fear was much less, so I nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Jiang Li opened his mouth at this moment and asked, "How do you know that he is a reborn?" ”

The metamorphosis is the Sichuan-Chongqing dialect, the dead baby is turned into a ghost because of the resentment, usually the adults in the family often scold the child for the metamorphosis, the metamorphosis also has a name called the ghost of the basket, the family was poor before, and the child died naturally can not prepare the coffin like the adult, so he can only use a basket to lift up the mountain, dig a pit and bury it casually, and then buckle the basket on the mound, so it gets this name.

After Jiang Li asked, the avatars in front of him said: "During the day, we saw a lot of big ghosts looking for you, those ghosts are very bad, they like to eat metamorphosis, we thought you were going to be eaten by them." There is Guanyin in this house to bless us, and every night we will hide here, so that those big ghosts will not dare to come in, we see that you are also hiding in, you must be a child, right? ”

Jiang Lien asked again: "Did you see a person in that group of big ghosts during the day who was dressed similarly to me, or different from everyone else?" ”

The group of children in front of them were silent for a while and said, "There is one, he is dressed in newer clothes than those big ghosts, and finally he went to the east, and the other big ghosts went to the west, but we didn't see his appearance clearly. ”

Another avatar spoke, "Don't go out at night, those big ghosts are waiting outside, we've been hiding here for decades, and we come here every night." ”

Later, I learned that because the children's souls were clean and unpolluted, the souls of the incarnates were naturally clean, which caused many lonely souls and wild ghosts to covet them, and they would catch the incarnates to eat at the first opportunity, thinking that this would make them stronger.

Jiang Li said: "I won't let him out, you have been hiding here for decades, do you know Du Hai?" ”

"You know, we used to stay in his room every night, and he used to play with us, but then he went to the coal mine and got tuberculosis, and his parents hated him, so they took him outside and threw him away. However, he didn't die, I don't know where he went, and some time ago we learned that he finally died and was taken away to get married. ”

Jiang Li nodded in relief.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the hall outside, and then the room began to shake.

Jiang Li immediately stood up and said, "The beam of the house has been knocked down, go quickly." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, I grabbed it under my arm and went outside, and the group of metamorphosis behind hurriedly shouted to me: "Don't go out, there are big ghosts outside." ”

Jiang Li said: "The child-seeking charm on the beam of the house is gone, and the shrine must have been destroyed, so they can still come in if they stay here." ”

I really didn't feel worried at all at that time, and I was vain, so I just showed off to them: "Don't be afraid, my master is very powerful, and he will protect us." ”

This group of incarnated sons has lived for decades, and although they look like children, their mood is far more than just this age, and when they heard Jiang Li's words, they immediately rushed out with Jiang Li.

After I came out, Jiang Li put me down from under my armpit.

With a bang, the dilapidated house behind it finally fell, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the already gloomy sky was even less visible.

But above the collapsed ruins, and in the grass around the house, nearly a hundred dark shadows appeared, staring at us.

Behind him, the incarnate child panicked, too frightened to speak.

These hundreds of black shadows naturally coveted these wandering ghosts who were incarnated, and after destroying the house, they all greedily set their eyes on us.

A wild ghost shouted, "Guanyin is gone, if we eat them, we will be able to live." ”

These words made the other wandering spirits excited, and they immediately gathered around us.

The emotions of the incarnate child have more or less affected me, and there are hundreds of wandering ghosts on the other side, although I believe in Jiang Li, but there are so many wild ghosts, it is impossible to say that I am not afraid.

Jiang Li took a deep breath: "Who told you that you can be resurrected by eating the metamorphosis?" Yin and yang go their own way, the barrier is impregnable, if you leave now, I can not blame the past, if not. ”

But these ghosts didn't pay attention to Jiang Li at all, and I felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Master, they don't listen to you. ”

Jiang Li patted his forehead in annoyance: "Stinky boy, if you don't say it, you're going to die." Then he said, "Since they don't listen, force them to listen to me." ”

After speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, stood in front of us with a peachwood sword, and said coldly: "Who dares to take another step!" ”

This sound really frightened these ghosts who gathered around.

And then came the most terrifying thing, which I experienced once in the tomb, and this time the fear came again.

Jiang Li didn't seem to have changed at all, but all the metamorphoses and wandering ghosts here were quiet, and I looked at Jiang Li's back in a daze.

At that time, I didn't understand why I was so afraid of this back, but then I understood, and he told me that it was called momentum.

If the pig killer and the executioner kill too many things, there will be evil qi on the body, people will be afraid of the executioner, and animals will be afraid of killing the pig maker, which is also a kind of momentum.

And Jiang Li's momentum can not only deter lonely souls and wild ghosts, but also living people.

For example, the Nine Shadows Hades appeared, holding a peachwood sword towering like a mountain, the scene that was extremely noisy just now, and it was as silent as death at this moment, Jiang Li suddenly exploded: "Get out." ”

These hundreds of ghosts escaped without a trace in an instant.

After all these yin spirits had escaped cleanly, Jiang Li put away the peach wood ginger body and came back, the same affinity as before, and not as unapproachable majesty as before, but these avatars were as if they had seen Yama, and they didn't even dare to move.

Jiang Li said: "You go to find a city god temple nearby, and the people of the underworld will come to pick you up, and it is better to be reincarnated as soon as possible than to wander in the world." ”

This group of incarnated sons was relieved, and did not dare to pass by Jiang Li's side, but ran over the ruins.

When they all left, I looked at Jiang Li and asked him, "Master, why don't you kill those wild ghosts?" ”

Jiang Li frowned, and said with a very serious expression: "Among all the remaining sins, killing is the first, and among all the merits, release is the first, don't think that killing people is a very easy thing." ”
