Chapter 42: The Yin Soldier Crosses the Road
In the past, no matter who came, Jiang Li had never been so formal, and before dawn, Jiang Li began to prepare.
However, after listening to what the second grandfather and the second grandfather said about the old gentleman, I was also quite interested in that old gentleman, and wanted to know what kind of character such a person who could pinch and calculate.
Jiang Li sorted out all his magic swords, magic seals, and yellow table paper, and then said to me, "You go and boil me some hot water." ”
I looked out and said, "Master, it's all here, what are you doing with hot water?" ”
"Master never asked you to serve me, why did you let you boil water today and ask questions, if Master is not here tomorrow, you won't have a chance to boil water for me." Jiang Li put the burden away, and then tried on a light cyan robe that he hadn't worn before in front of the mirror on the wardrobe, I kept looking at him from the side, Jiang Li noticed that I was looking at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is it?" Is Master's robe good-looking? ”
I Eun nodded: "It's beautiful, but what do you do with hot water?" ”
"Purify the body, heart, mouth, bath and change clothes, this is the most basic etiquette for seeing people." Jiang Li took off his Taoist robe and put it aside.
I ran to light a fire and boil water.
It wasn't until about six o'clock that Jiang Li finished tidying up, and then forced me to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
Then I sat in the hall with him and recited the Eight Great Mantras, and in the morning I was not allowed to eat, just drink a cup of hot tea.
The second grandfather slept soundly in the house all day, and when he got up in the morning, he saw me and Jiang Lipan sitting together, a little strange, and asked with a puzzled face: "Master Jiang, what are you doing here?" ”
Jiang Li said: "The old gentleman who told your fortune a few decades ago is estimated to come to the village today, and you had better prepare for it, no matter what the purpose, since you are a Taoist master, you should treat each other with courtesy." ”
That old gentleman can be said to have changed the fate of our entire Chen family, if it weren't for the old gentleman, grandpa would not go to the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and the second grandfather and grandfather would not have gone to learn their skills, he was the midpoint of the turning point of our family's fate.
In the eyes of the second grandfather, the old gentleman was already a dead man, and now that he heard that he would come to the village, he immediately forgot about last night's events and hurried back to the house to prepare.
Dad basically doesn't care about our affairs now, he knows that he will only drag us down now, he simply doesn't know anything, he treats himself as a transparent person, so that he won't trouble us, and we won't deliberately take care of him, he took the baby after he got up, and I helped him to go to the grandmother's house, and he didn't come out until night.
Jiang Li and I have been waiting in the house, I can't stay up, and the second grandfather can't stay up anymore, so he came to my house and asked Jiang Li: "Master Jiang, are you mistaken?" It's so late, why hasn't the old blind man come yet? ”
Jiang Li looked at the sky outside, the sun had set, and the sky was very colorful, but there was no purple cloud.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, smiled and said: "The old blind man didn't come to your village at all, he played this play, it was just for others to see, the bureau has been laid out, and I will bear the rest of the fruit." ”
Jiang Li's words made me and my second grandfather fall into endless doubts.
If that old blind man hadn't come, wouldn't it have been in vain to prepare all day today?
However, Jiang Li's words also revealed some reasons, he just made these things for others to see.
"What do you mean?" The second grandfather asked.
Jiang Li stood up and said to me, "Chen Xiao, go and see if your father is still in the house." ”
I immediately ran to my grandmother's room to look, but there was no sign of my father in the room, only my grandmother was still lying on the bed, and even the baby was gone.
But Dad had come to Grandma's house in the morning, and we had been staying in the hall, so it was impossible for him to go out.
immediately ran out of the door and said to Jiang Li, "Dad is gone." ”
The second grandfather frowned and realized that something was wrong: "Master Jiang, what the hell is going on?" ”
Jiang Li looked at me: "Your father went to intercept and kill the old fortune teller, he was afraid of the old man's ability, and he was afraid that the old man would expose his secret." However, he would also find out that the fortune teller had not come to the village at all, and that he was too anxious to hide well. After tonight, everything will fall into place. ”
My second grandfather and I were in a fog, but Jiang Li stood up, looked at me and said, "The truth of the matter is often unacceptable, but people are always willing to get to the bottom of it and figure out those things that they can't bear at all. Everything I have done today will be cruel to you, after tonight, no matter whether you hold a grudge against Master, but you must always remember that Master will always be your Master, and whatever I do, it is for your good, just to make your path of growth bright. ”
"I know." I nodded.
Jiang Li smiled with relief, then took out the magic seal and magic sword used by his grandfather from his body, stood up and stared at me with a very serious expression: "Chen Xiao kneels down." ”
I was stunned for a moment, Jiang Li handed the Dharma Seal and the Dharma Sword to me in a solemn tone: "From today onwards, you are the Heavenly Master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, if the master can't come back tonight, you have to take this Dharma Seal and the Dharma Sword, inherit your grandfather and Master's will, and live well." Master will not force you to accomplish anything, Master only has one request, and that is to live well! ”
The second grandfather was stunned and held the cigarette gun in his mouth, and he didn't know what to say with the corners of his mouth trembling.
My mouth opened slightly, my brows were twisted into knots, and listening to Jiang Li's words, I actually cried: "Master, what's wrong? When you say that, I'm a little scared. ”
Jiang Li forcibly stuffed the magic sword and the magic seal into my hand, and before I could speak, two messengers from the underworld with iron chains came to the door, and when I came to the door, I saw Jiang Li arching his hand, and said to Jiang Li: "Jiang Daochang, Yin Si Yin Shuai let us take the words, since Jiang Daochang can't wait to expose this secret, then ask Jiang Daochang to go and talk about it, and this matter will be over." ”
Jiang Lien said: "Tell Chen Anrong and let him get ready, I'll be there soon." ”
"Yin Shuai is waiting for Jiang Dao to grow up." The two soul envoys nodded, then turned to leave.
I understood their words, Chen Anrong is my father, but in their mouths, he is actually handsome in the underworld!
I looked outside the door and then at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li looked at me and smiled: "Stinky boy, I haven't seen you care so much about your master." ”
"But why is my dad handsome?"
This time, Jiang Li still didn't have time to answer my question, because there was a metamorphosis at the door, which was the one sent by Jiang Tianshi before.
This avatar stood at the door, no longer the unruly and unruly before, and saw Jiang Li bending down and saluting: "Daoist Jiang, the Heavenly Master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect invites you to come over and talk about it." ”
Jiang Li said lightly, and the avatar immediately turned to leave.
After the two groups of them left, Jiang Li said to me: "Chen Xiao, go and get the robe, magic sword, and law seal of the teacher, and I will meet them!" ”
I shook my head, I didn't know what they wanted Jiang to leave, but I knew it would definitely be very dangerous: "Master, can you not go?" ”
I was almost begging him.
But Jiang Li stared at me with a frown: "What? Don't listen to me? ”
He said so, and then I cried and cried into the house and took out his magic seal, magic sword and Taoist robe, Jiang Li put on his Taoist robe and stepped out of the threshold with the magic seal and magic sword in his hand.
After going out, he stood still and told me with his back: "Some truths cannot be pierced, if you were not my apprentice, I would never force them to show their feet so quickly, since you have come to this point, you must be prepared to bear the price." Chen Xiao, if Master can't come back after tonight, you will go to the Taoist Temple where I first met before as the Heavenly Master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and stay there in the future, even if Master fights for his life, he will not let them continue to pester you, if Master can come back alive, then you will leave here with Master, and Master will slowly tell you the truth. ”
Jiang Li paused for a few seconds after speaking, and then walked away, and his last words came from outside the door: "Don't go out until the rooster crows." ”
Jiang Li left, and my whole body was trembling.
I don't know what's going on at all, I only know that Jiang Li has exposed my father's secret, and now my father wants Jiang Li to deal with this matter, and Jiang Tianshi of the Dragon and Tiger Sect also has to deal with Jiang Li's previous affairs at this time.
Soon after Jiang left, the sound of iron chains began to be heard in the village, and there was the sound of the ground shaking and the mountains shaking.
There was a howling sound of wild ghosts in the four fields, and the pigs, dogs, cows and sheep in the village were all quiet at this time, and the bamboo in the pigsty drilled into the corner of the pigsty, and they were also afraid of something.
The second grandfather stood up suddenly when he heard this voice: "The dog day is going to turn the sky upside down, and the Yin soldiers are passing by." ”
My second grandfather and I immediately got up and ran to the door, but we saw dense groups of messengers from the underworld on the large and small roads of the village, a few and tens of thousands of people, and the momentum was immense.
As I was looking closely, a group of messengers from the underworld lined up past my house, not squinting, and their direction was all away from the direction they had just gone.
