Chapter 50: Wedding Invitations
These hungry wolves and vicious dogs quickly retreated because they were afraid of the spotted leopard behind me, and I was also afraid of these hungry wolves, which had turned into ghosts, and even more afraid of the leopards behind me.
It was less than half a meter away from me, standing behind me, just a little step forward to knock me down, and when these vicious dogs and hungry wolves retreated, I still learned from Jiang Li, and raised my fingers to slowly turn back, and then almost closed my eyes and shouted: "Edict! ”
But there was no movement, and the spotted leopard behind him had long since disappeared. I was amazed.
At this time, another person came up from the bottom of the mountain, and as he approached, I gradually saw his face clearly, it was my master Jiang Li.
"Master." When I saw him, my heart that was about to jump out immediately calmed down, and I hurriedly waved to him.
Jiang Li also saw me, walked up quickly, stared at me intently, and was a little annoyed: "Stinky boy, let you come out, what are you doing here?" The yin qi in this place is thicker than the tomb land, and it has been with me for so long. Can't even tell the difference? ”
I said, "Grandma is lost, I came here with my grandma." ”
Jiang Li didn't ask much, just said, "It's okay, let's go." ”
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed me, and I walked down the mountain from the bridge.
Although those hungry wolves and vicious dogs were frightened away by the spotted leopard just now, they were still hiding in the mountains, and when we went down the mountains, they were eyeing us, but after Jiang Li let out a few strange notes from their throats, they flew away from us.
As soon as we came down the mountain, we saw a few people coming towards us with torches.
I've seen all these people, and they're from the second team. They often walked around our village, and they also knew Jiang Li, and they were relieved to see us coming down from the mountain safely, and an older man stepped forward and said: "I heard the dog barking in the village just now, we hurried over to take a look, this mountain can not be entered casually at night, fortunately nothing happened." ”
I asked curiously, "What's wrong with this mountain?" ”
The villagers said: "The mountain is called Vicious Dog Ridge, and when there were no people living here, there were wolves everywhere, and when people came, they drove all those wolves to this ridge and set fire to it." In addition, there was nothing to eat at that time, and the hungry people went around looking for wild dogs to kill and steal food, and at that time everything belonged to the brigade, and it was not allowed to eat enough privately, so they hid on this ridge and killed the dogs, and the dogs that died on this mountain were not fifty but also a hundred, and those things died unjustly, and they became ghosts wandering around the ridge all night long, and no living creature dared to go in. But with Master Jiang here, we are worried in vain. ”
Jiang Li then thanked the villagers and took me out of here.
When he arrived at a place where these villagers could not see, Jiang Li raised his fingers and chanted a mantra, and after waiting for about a minute, several people in silver armor walked over with spears in their hands, came to Jiang Li's side, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "See Jiang Shizu." ”
Jiang Lien sighed and pointed in the direction of the Evil Dog Ridge: "You contact the underworld and ask them to clean up the Evil Dog Ridge within today." ”
"Yes." They should be.
Jiang Li left them alone and left with me.
During the walk, I told Jiang Li about the leopard scaring away the vicious dogs. Jiang Li didn't say anything after hearing this, but just said, "You should also lift another bag." ”
I was stunned, as if I understood something.
The old Taoist priest said that if I brought up his bag, he would give me all the contents of it, and when I mentioned one of them, a leopard appeared and pounced on me.
And the leopard that appeared just now was the one chasing me, maybe the leopard was not harming me, but protecting me.
"We'll go back and pick up another bag right away." I said to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li knocked me: "If you are greedy and chew more, you can only take it if it is yours, and if you have no fate with another bag, don't take it." ”
I sighed, but I still couldn't bear the bag, maybe the other bag contained a tiger, and then a spotted leopard on the left, a white-fronted tiger on the right, and Sensei Tiduo was majestic.
But it's just thinking about it, Jiang Li said that I have no fate with another bag, so this matter can only be stopped.
On the way, I also mentioned that my grandmother had disappeared.
Jiang Li pointed in the direction of the village's weir pond: "Your grandmother is there, let's go, your second grandfather and they are also waiting there." ”
After I heard this, I and Jiang Li quickened their pace and rushed to the weir pond.
When I got to the weir pond, my pace slowed down.
Grandma was lying on the weir pond, her body was wet, her legs were tied with a scarf, and she had lost her breath.
The second grandfather and the old Taoist priest were standing on the side, waiting for me to walk over, and the second grandfather said to me, "Xiao Wazi, kneel down and send your grandmother up the mountain." ”
I listened to them. Immediately knelt in front of the corpse of his grandmother.
I recognized the scarf on my grandmother's feet, which my mother had used to tie me and dragged me into the weir with her.
Mother's death is also because of this incident.
The old Taoist priest said beside him: "Heavenly cycle, karma, because this weir pond, this scarf killed your mother, and your grandmother used this method to atone for her sins, and it is not in vain." ”
The old Taoist priest broke the cause of my grandmother's death, she died by suicide, in order to repay the debt she owed to my mother before.
Now the second grandfather is left alone in the whole family, and everything is decided by him. The second grandfather decided not to have a funeral, so he carried his grandmother to his grandfather's grave that night, dug up his grandfather's coffin, buried his grandmother and grandfather together, and burned the yin and yang money I had placed in front of the grave before.
That's it, the last real relative of my own in this world. Nope.
When I thought of this, my nose was sour, and my tears couldn't stop falling.
Dad is gone, mom is gone, grandpa is gone, and now grandma is gone. If Jiang Li wasn't still around, I would really be alone in the future.
Jiang Li had already seen through my thoughts, squatted in front of me, raised his head slightly and helped me wipe my tears: "I am your master, you are my apprentice." I'm not much different in age from you, I can be your brother. You can be my brother. Since I am the Master, you are my apprentice, I am also half of your father, you are half of my son, Master is with you, you are not alone in this world. I promise you. Master will never let you live alone, at least if you are alive, Master will also live. ”
I said yes.
Jiang Li smiled slightly, stood up and bridged my hand, and faced the cold grave together.
Busy until the early morning, the second grandfather went to the village alone to inform the villagers that my grandmother had died.
Jiang Li and the old Taoist priest and I went back to the house first.
But when he arrived at the door, the old Taoist priest stood next to his two bags, pointed to the bags and said, "I met someone who is destined, and this bag has been lifted." ”
I was a little disappointed when I heard it, and if I hadn't hesitated at the time, the contents would have been mine.
But the old Taoist priest didn't pay much attention to this. With that in mind, I put the bag behind me and asked, "What's in that bag?" ”
The old Taoist priest smiled secretly: "Of course it's a good thing." ”
When we crossed the threshold, we saw a red envelope on the ground, I bent down to pick up the envelope, opened it and handed it to Jiang Li, Jiang Li read the words on the letter, and his face changed greatly.
I hurriedly asked, "Master, what did you write?" ”
Jiang Li handed me the letter and asked me to read it for myself.
After reading this letter, my heart beat wildly, and a sense of powerlessness swept over me, accompanied by unwillingness.
This letter was placed at the door by Du Hai, it was an invitation letter, he invited us to attend his wedding with my mother, Du Hai also made a special note on the letter, I must go, because I am the biological son of him and my mother, this is not the slightest mistake, it is the relationship between father and son by blood.
"I'm not going." I read the letter and tore it to shreds, "He robbed my family of everything, and now he wants to rob my mother, and I won't go to kill him." ”
I've just made my opinion. The second grandfather rushed to my door in a hurry, holding a stack of red invitations in his hand.
After taking a few breaths, he said to Jiang Li: "Master Jiang, Du Hai is going to marry Xiao Wazi and his mother this dog's day, and he has invited the whole village to participate, this is to slap our Chen family in the face." ”
Jiang Li's face was serious, and he frowned and said, "He is not only slapping the Chen family in the face, but also slapping me in the face." ”
"So what do we do? Now that everyone in the village knows about this, if the things of the Chen family are known by the villagers, they will really not be able to straighten their waists in the future. "The second grandfather is very anxious about this matter.
Jiang Li said: "Go, all of them, even if you don't go Du Hai, there are 10,000 ways to let the people in the village know what happened to the Chen family back then, since he wants to slap me in the face, then let him try." ”
The second grandfather took out an invitation post, opened it and pointed to one of the lines and said to Jiang Li: "If it's okay in the yang world, you look at the place he wants us to go to, it is the underworld, that place is his territory, if we go to the evil world, it will be more auspicious." Besides, how can you bring so many people in the village down? ”
As soon as the second grandfather's voice fell, another voice came from the door: "Second brother, I'll take them down." ”
The person who spoke was my long-missing grandfather, who was originally from the underworld, and it shouldn't be difficult to bring some people down.
The old Taoist priest met his grandfather. grinned: "The Dragon and Tiger Sect is the sky, the underworld and hell are the earth, and the Yin Mountain Sect is the people, and the three talents of heaven, earth and man are less than the Dragon and Tiger Sect, but there is another Jiang Shizu, these three talents are all together." ”
I didn't understand the words of the old Taoist, but my grandfather, my second grandfather, and Jiang Li didn't continue to say this. Apparently they understood the words of the old Taoist.
After the people in the village woke up, they all knew about it, and the village, which had not been quiet, suddenly exploded, and they came to the door to ask what was going on.
He also said that Du Hai and my mother have already married a yin relative, why do they get married again, or get married in the underworld, this kind of thing, they have never heard of, and they don't know what to do.
While they were discussing, Jiang Li stood up and said, "I'm so tired of you coming with me, I guarantee with my life, as long as I have a breath, I will never let you have an accident." ”
A villager asked: "Master Jiang, this matter is completely unnecessary, we won't get in the way if we don't go, what are we asking for?" ”
"Dignity." Jiang Li looked at me.
