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 prepare too much, 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 road of the Tiger Leaping Stream is rugged, and there is a cave in the middle of the road, which is also a well-known local murderous place, and basically everyone is reluctant to go there.

The reason for the Tiger Leaping Stream is because there is a cave in that place, and the cave is pitch black, with only a faint light, even if you pass through the cave in the summer, you can feel the gust of wind.

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 the ghosts are not strong enough, they will usually die there.

That's why the village is isolated from the rest of the world, and no one wants to come in. Despite this, one or two people die in the Ghost Shadow Cave every year, and it is usually the death of a merchant from an unknown place in the field. Therefore, the villagers basically go out of the mountain in groups, and never dare to cross the cave alone.

But Qi Xiaoshan has no choice, now is the time to be busy with farming, and no one is willing to put down the work in hand. Walking alone in the Ghost Shadow Cave, Qi Xiaoshan was still a little scared, but when he thought that it was early in the morning, and his younger brother was waiting for him, Qi Xiaoshan could only grit his teeth and walk towards the cave.

When he walked into the ghost shadow cave, a gust of yin wind whistled past Qi Xiaoshan's side, blowing Qi Xiaoshan trembling, 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 didn't see a ghost in the cave, so Qi Xiaoshan had the courage to go down. The cave is not long, at best it is only more than 100 meters, and Qi Xiaoshan was walking and running at that time, so he quickly 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 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, right in front of him.

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

Qi Xiaoshan wanted to turn around and run away, but when he thought that he was almost at the end of the cave at this time, he was not willing to retreat like this, so he had to walk slowly towards the man.

Through the faint light, when Qi Xiaoshan walked in, he saw clearly that it was an old man, an old man with a hunchback. looked at the old man staring at Qi Xiaoshan with an unkind face, and he was still wearing tattered clothes.

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?" It's not a peaceful place. ”

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 and frightened. I vaguely remembered the dream that my brother said before, this old man was surprisingly similar to the old man my 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 ask someone to clean me up, how can there be such a reason in the world?" ”

Qi Xiaoshan saw that the old man stood up out of fear, so he could only retreat slowly, if his legs were not weak, he would have run away a long time ago. 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, go and ask your brother if he stepped on my grave before? It's useless to say anything, I'm going to kill your girl's life. Even if Qi Lao Er intercedes with me, it is 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 buttocks, looking at the old man tremblingly, unable to 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 understood that if he didn't invite a capable master to come, then Qi Siming would definitely not be able to keep it, and how could a child born less than ten days old withstand the toss of this evil ghost? I'll talk about my own family later, but it's important to save my brother's daughter first.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiaoshan hurriedly said to the old ghost: "Uncle, you knew my father when you were alive, right?" Please say your 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 it when he was a child, and the three hunchbacks were an old man in the village before, and he belonged to Qi Xiaoshan's grandfather generation a generation older than his father.

The three hunchbacks are the third, plus the hunchback, 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 was addicted to opium, and finally was hacked to death in the casino, and his death was unknown.

And the youngest son became a soldier and died on the battlefield. The three hunchbacks were childless and died at home, and some say that they died of starvation. In today's terms, the psychology of the three hunchbacks must be very distorted at this time.

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 don't have to say, I'm going to condemn your girl's life, it's useless for anyone to intercede. ”

The three hunchbacks seemed to be angry, and they saw a vicious float towards Qi Xiaoshan, and the expression on their faces 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 he saw a figure appear in the cave, and he saw that figure shouting fiercely: "Evil animal, Hugh hurts people." ”

The sound was not loud, but it was very intimidating, and it immediately frightened the three hunchbacks. The three hunchbacks 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, who 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 suffer the loss in front of him, so he frowned and turned around and disappeared. After the three hunchbacks disappeared, the man put away his long stick and walked towards Qi Xiaoshan, and said, "Little brother, are you okay?" ”

After approaching, Qi Xiaoshan saw clearly, it turned out that it was a Taoist priest, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, wearing a Taoist robe, looking like a fairy wind and Taoist bones, and he knew 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 way, 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 that 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.
