Chapter 57: The Ghost Lingers

How can they be like this? Master seems to know very well, it turns out that Master has been pretending to be stupid, I let out a long breath, I think Master as long as he understands things, then everything is much simpler, but I don't understand that since Master knows so much, why set up a dry tobacco bureau for this old man?

Compared to Master's sometimes 'cunning', I feel like I'm just an honest child.

But this time the master didn't even whet my appetite, and after walking to the old man in a few steps, he looked at the old man with serious eyes, and then continued: "Your village has done such a dangerous thing, it is normal for the great witch to summon all kinds of spiritual objects or gods, and even cultivate spiritual objects. But your village dares to defy the condemnation of the world and summon the remnants of fierce beasts, which is poor."

Before the master finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man, he withdrew his hand on the stone carving, and wiped it on his body at random, leaving blood marks one after another, and his hands were full of small holes, which hurt when I looked at it, but he didn't seem to care, just said, "What fierce beast?" These are the twelve divine beasts, devouring evil ghosts, omnipotent and say, how much do you know? The affairs of our village need you to comment on our village, our village! No, how do you know about our stockade? ”

And during their conversation, I noticed that there was also a bright red blood handicraft left on the stone carving, but it was strangely infiltrated into the stone carving, and the chill in my heart was indescribable, and at this time, the silly tiger suddenly fell back into a deep sleep, but I received a clearer thought - the essence of things!

This thought made my face turn strange, I'm sure it didn't come from the Dao Boy, but from the Silly Tiger, when did it become so 'ghost'? Even a sentence of the essence of the infinite helplessness and bitterness, I feel endless emotion, I can't help it.

The bruises on my forehead jumped, because I had always regarded the silly tiger as my 'younger brother', and I began to miss the silly tiger who used to be dull and couldn't even express simple emotions clearly.

Having said that, I was really moved in my heart, because I felt that the stupid tiger seemed to be 'sober' and became as agile as a tender fox, and under this sobriety, in the face of such a dangerous situation, although it was afraid, it did not hesitate to choose to be side by side with me, what does it mean?

However, the stupid tiger fell into a deep sleep, and it couldn't sense these thoughts, but the conversation between the master and the old man made me feel very curious.

Qi Qi, a kind of monster recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the four fierce beasts, but they were also named gods In addition, there are some ancient books that have vague records, about Qi Qi, anyway, the statements are not the same.

Regarding the records of ancient books, when I was the most curious when I was young, I once asked Master to discuss whether these really existed, but Master told me with deep eyes: "Actually, we have experienced a lot of hardships in China, and there have been cultural faults, and many very precious documents have not been preserved, even my Taoism has not preserved." I can only tell you that what is recorded in the ancient books is not true, and what this is not necessarily contained has the meaning of imagining and supplementing, the meaning of personal thoughts, and the meaning of blurring with false rumors. Moreover, not only in China, but also in human beings, there is a cultural fault, that is, there is a rapid process in human evolution, and there are hundreds of thousands of years in the middle of modern human beings? It's just speculation that you think."

The master paused at this point, and said in a vague tone that he was not sure about: "The great battle recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", do you want to understand that the human beings at that time really fought a big war with demons and monsters? ”

This passage is not like Master's usual tone, which tells me something with a kind of certainty, or guides me to judge for myself, but is full of various elements of speculation, uncertainty, and even imagination, but it is a passage that left a deep impression on me when I was a child.

Nowadays, more and more things are happening in front of me, and a poor exclamation has stopped me from being shocked.

What else is there to be shocked about? Kunlun, Penglai, beetle snake, and the appearance of a poor qi makes me nervous numb at most, and poor qi is not like a beetle snake, it is an entity that appears like this, and it is obviously the appearance of a spirit body, so if it is a spirit body, it is not strange what it looks like, even if the strong son has summoned a two-faced god before, I don't think about their origins, I just look at it as an energy body, and my heart is calm and tight.

The master did not answer the old man's question directly, but said: "Then when you say this, I think your village has taken a crooked path. As you said, I don't understand the affairs of your village, and I definitely don't care. I'm worried about my nephew, I'm going to find him, and I'm going to take him this time. ”

"Your nephew? Who is it? "When this old man heard my master say this, he didn't get angry, but the doubts on his face were heavier, and it was clear that he was waiting for an answer from my master, and he might really be afraid that the water would wash away the Dragon King Temple.

"Sun Qiang." My master's answer was simple.

But the old man frowned, his face sank suddenly, and he said, "If there is no such person on this mountain, should you make up a name to deceive me?" You go, for the sake of the friendship of a bag of tobacco leaves, I won't be embarrassed for you. Otherwise, with your nonsense, it seems that you still know about the village, and I should put you away."

The old man's words were already very polite, and his face was torn in an instant, but the meaning of the words was that he didn't embarrass us because of a bag of dry tobacco leaves.

How could Master and I leave like this, besides, he said that there was no such person as Sun Qiang in the village, why didn't we worry? I once said that Qiangzi is my younger brother, and in a way, Sun Qiang is my master's nephew, and he said so, we have to go up the mountain to see it.

Originally, these words were about to completely tear his face, and he was even on the verge of making a move, but he didn't expect that the old man would be interrupted by the commotion coming from the town at the end.

The so-called commotion is nothing more than the sound of cars driving into the town, coupled with the noise of people, which is not the sound of a car, but the sound of a convoy.

As for the human voice, there was originally it, but at this time, the human voice was like a drop of water splashed into the boiling oil, and suddenly made a burst sound, which was harsh and chaotic.

Not only did the old man's face become ugly, but Master and I were also attracted to it, after all, although this is the foot of the mountain, the terrain here stretches upward, and we can clearly see the situation in the town from this position.

So when we turned around, we saw about a dozen cars driving into the town, and except for the lead car, the rest were tent trucks that specialized in pulling people, like cars for sending recruits.

In such a small town, it is not even because of the relatively concentrated residence, it is said that it is a place where it is a large village, and the cars that drive in, which are considered large cars, suddenly seem crowded.

But the people in the car were not soldiers, but all people wearing black shirts and pants, and then wearing masks, and they rushed into the town with such a loud bang.

I couldn't hear the voices of the people in the town clearly, but the crowd of people, and the many people coming from the house, and the aura of everyone as if they were facing a great enemy, made me instinctively feel that these people must be no strangers to the people in these cars.

I suddenly remembered the words of the porter, saying that this town is so 'popular', and there are often outsiders who come to inquire or something? Could it be that when I looked closely, my face changed, and I was naturally not familiar with the people wearing masks, nor did I know the people on the modified tent off-road vehicle.

But I was so familiar with that car, because I had seen the same car that had been modified in this way, and that time was not long ago, when Master and I hid on the hillside, and the people sitting in the car at that time were Yang Sheng and the Holy King

How twists and turns will this escape be? Even if it's a coincidence, it can make me realize what it is like to have a haunting feeling, I don't think that the car has been modified to the same shape, it's just a simple 'popular' modification, and I can't convince myself that there is no connection.

The master obviously noticed this problem as well, and his face became heavy, but he muttered something strange: "There is always the darkest time before dawn, and when the vigorous era comes, there are always many turmoil that leads to such an era. ”

He spoke in a very small voice, only I could hear, and before I could say anything, I could hear the old man gritting his teeth and cursing: "These abominable robbers, how much trouble are they going to make?" ”

From the old man's words, I could clearly feel that, as I judged, the people of this town were obviously not the first contact with the people in these cars, and he must have known something. Why are these people called robbers? If my judgment is correct, these people belong to Yang Sheng's organization, and even if they embark on the evil path, they will not have anything to do with the robbers.

Master and I were in an even worse situation
