Chapter 123: Qi Siming's Story (II)

Qi Siming's uncle has to go to the county seat to find the master, but it takes a long way to get from the countryside to the county seat, and it takes at least half a day to get to the county seat, that is, it takes a day to go back and forth.

So Qi Siming's uncle didn't have too much preparation, hurriedly changed into a new looking clothes, and rushed to the county seat with all the family's savings.

From Qi Siming's village to the county seat, you must pass through the Tiger Leaping Stream, the Tiger Leaping Stream road is rugged, and there is a cave in the middle of the road, which is also a well-known local murderous place, basically everyone is reluctant to go there.

The reason why the tiger jumped over the stream was because there was a cave in that place, and the cave was pitch black, with only a faint light, even though it was a big summer when passing through the cave, you would feel the wind gusting.

The cave is called the Ghost Shadow Cave, which is the name given by the local villagers, because when you pass through the cave alone, you usually see ghosts, and if the people who see ghosts are not strong enough, they will usually die there.

That's why this village is isolated from the world, and no one wants to come in, although this is the case, one or two people always die in the ghost shadow cave every year, and it is usually the merchant who dies in the unknown situation in the field, so the villagers are basically in groups when they want to go out of the mountain, and they never dare to cross the cave alone.

But Qi Xiaoshan has no way, now is the time to be busy with farming, no one is willing to put down the work in his hands, walking alone in the ghost shadow cave, Qi Xiaoshan is still a little scared, but when he thinks that it is early in the morning, and his younger brother is waiting for him, so Qi Xiaoshan can only grit his teeth and walk to the cave.

When he walked into the ghost shadow cave, a gust of yin wind whistled past Qi Xiaoshan's side, and Qi Xiaoshan shivered when he blew, and Qi Xiaoshan would feel numb in his back if he didn't take a step, but there was no way, Qi Xiaoshan could only go forward.

Qi Xiaoshan did not see a ghost in the cave, so Qi Xiaoshan had the courage to go down, the cave is not long, at best only more than 100 meters, Qi Xiaoshan was walking and running at that time, so he soon arrived at the entrance of the cave,

Seeing the light at the entrance of the cave, Qi Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the rest of Qi Xiaoshan to walk slowly, but at this time, Qi Xiaoshan suddenly found that there was a person sitting in the middle of the road in the cave, just in front of him.

Seeing that person walking in the middle of the road, Qi Xiaoshan was suddenly startled, thinking to himself why he hadn't found it before, the light in the cave was very dark, so Qi Xiaoshan didn't see the person's appearance clearly, but just vaguely looked at the person's short stature, so a little hunchbacked,

Qi Xiaoshan wanted to turn around and run away, but when he thought that he was about to reach the end of the cave at this time, he was unwilling to retreat like this, so he had to slowly walk towards the man.

Through the faint light, when he walked in, Qi Xiaoshan saw clearly that it was an old man, a hunchbacked old man, looking at the old man staring at Qi Xiaoshan with an unkind face, and he was still dressed in tatters.

Qi Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was an old man, and asked the old man: "Uncle, why are you here alone, this place is not peaceful." ”

The old man looked at Qi Xiaoshan viciously, and when he saw Qi Xiaoshan speak, he said fiercely: "I'm waiting for you here, you want to go and ask the master to clean me up and see if you can get out of here." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Qi Xiaoshan was stunned, frightened, and vaguely remembered the dream that his brother said before, this old man was surprisingly similar to the old man his brother dreamed of last night, they were all dressed in tatters,

After the old man said these words, he slowly stood up, still looked at Qi Xiaoshan viciously and said, "Your family bullied my old man, and you want to invite someone to clean me up, how can there be such a reason in the world." ”

Qi Xiaoshan saw the old man standing up out of fear, he could only retreat slowly, if it wasn't for the weakness of his legs, he would have run away, Qi Xiaoshan looked at the old man, and said tremblingly: "Uncle, where are you a great immortal, I don't know how my brother offended you, please ignore the villain." ”

The old man smiled coldly: "Adults don't care about villains, hahaha, you go and ask your brother if he stepped on my grave before, it's useless to say anything, I'm going to condemn the life of your girl's baby, even if Qi Lao Er intercedes with me, it's useless." ”

Qi Lao Er is Qi Siming's grandfather, that is, Qi Xiaoshan's father, when he knew that the old man was a ghost, Qi Xiaoshan sat on the ground with weak legs and a buttocks, looked at the old man tremblingly, and couldn't say a word.

The old man pointed to Qi Xiaoshan and said, "I advise you to go back now, don't worry about your brother's affairs, or I will find your family too." ”

Qi Xiaoshan understands that if he doesn't invite a capable master to come, then Qi Siming will definitely not be able to keep it, where can a child born less than ten days old withstand the toss of this evil ghost, and the matter of his own family will be talked about later, it is important to save his younger brother's daughter first,

Thinking of this, Qi Xiaoshan hurriedly said to the old ghost: "Uncle, you knew my father before you died, please say your big name, the little one will kowtow to you when you go back and apologize, just ask you to ignore the villain and let my brother's family go." ”

I saw the old ghost beckoning, and said angrily: "I don't have to say, I won't let go of your brother, you Lao Tzu I grew up watching, you may not know my name, people used to call me three hunchbacks." ”

Qi Xiaoshan was frightened when he heard the word "three hunchbacks", because he had heard of them when he was a child, and the three hunchbacks were an old man in the village before, a generation older than his father and belonged to Qi Xiaoshan's grandfather's generation.

The three hunchbacks are the third, plus the hunchbacks, so they have this nickname, the three hunchbacks are jealous and hateful by nature, no matter what it is, they are always caught, and they used to be a local evil.

Originally, the three hunchbacks had two sons before his death, but the eldest son was a loser, gambling all day long, and committed opium addiction, and finally was hacked to death in the casino, and the death was unknown.

And the youngest son became a soldier and finally died on the battlefield, and the three hunchbacks died at home without children, and it is also said that he died of starvation.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiaoshan hurriedly got up and knelt down towards the three hunchbacks, kowtowed respectfully three times and said: "Third grandfather, we are all villagers in the township, please spare my brother, he is also unintentional." ”

Seeing Qi Xiaoshan kowtowing and hunchbacking, he was not happy, but said angrily: "Fellow villagers, who said to the villagers when I starved to death, I didn't have to say, I want to condemn the life of your daughter, and it is useless for anyone to intercede." ”

The three hunchbacks seemed to be angry and saw the vicious drift towards Qi Xiaoshan, the expression on his face seemed to be about to eat Qi Xiaoshan, Qi Xiaoshan was frightened when he saw this, and just wanted to get up and run away, but saw a figure appear in the cave, only to see the figure shouting: "Evil animal, Hugh hurts people." ”

The voice didn't sound loud, but it was very intimidating, and it immediately frightened the three hunches, who hurriedly turned to look at the figure, which looked like a man in a long robe,

After seeing the figure, the three hunchbacks frowned and said sharply: "Where did the Taoist priest come from, he dared to meddle in my affairs." ”

The man didn't talk nonsense, took out a one-meter-long stick from behind him, pointed at the three hunchbacks and said: "I will let you go if you have the virtue of a good life, otherwise you will be wiped out in an instant." ”

The three hunchbacks also seemed to see the power of the stick, and realized that the hero did not eat the loss in front of him, so he frowned and turned around and disappeared, and after the three hunchbacks disappeared, the man put away the long stick and walked towards Qi Xiaoshan, and said: "Little brother, you are fine." ”

After approaching, Qi Xiaoshan saw clearly, it turned out to be a Taoist priest, who looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, wearing a Taoist robe, looking like a fairy wind and bones, and he didn't have to know that he was a capable Taoist priest.

Qi Xiaoshan hurriedly knelt down for the Taoist priest, and said respectfully: "Thank you Daoist for saving your life, I can't repay you and accept my worship." ”

The Taoist priest hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Qi Xiaoshan up, and said to Qi Xiaoshan with a smile: "Little brother doesn't have to be polite, it is our duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, I think that evil animal seems to have some festivals with the little brother." ”

Qi Xiaoshan nodded hurriedly, sighed and told the Taoist priest about the matter of his younger brother's family, repeatedly emphasizing that there was a child less than ten days old in the family who was persecuted by the evil animal.

After hearing this, Dao Gu immediately frowned, looked at Qi Xiaoshan and said: "If the little brother can be trusted, please take him to save people, human life is at stake, and there is no room for delay." ”

Qi Xiaoshan nodded vigorously, with a thousand joys in his heart, and hurriedly walked back with the Taoist priest,
