Chapter 5: Bizarre Taoism

"Hey, come here, see what I've brought you?" Zuo Dengfeng retracted his thoughts and beckoned to Wu Xinyu not far away. The contact between the two was very short, and Wu Xinyu was a mystery in Zuo Dengfeng's eyes, and the only way to solve the mystery was to wait for the two to get acquainted with each other, and Wu Xinyu took the initiative to "say" it.

Wu Xinyu turned her head to look at Zuo Dengfeng when she heard the voice, and then looked up at the bottom of the mountain and in the distance, she was already very wary of Zuo Dengfeng, but she was still wary, she was afraid that Zuo Dengfeng would bring someone back.

"What do you think this is?" Zuo Dengfeng put down the head and shovel he was carrying, took out the paper bag in his pocket, and opened it to reveal the two fritters.

Wu Xinyu came over with the string of grasshoppers when she heard this, staring at the fritters in Zuo Dengfeng's hand but did not reach out to take them, she was hesitating whether she should ask for Zuo Dengfeng's things.

"Give me the grasshopper, let's change it." Zuo Dengfeng smiled helplessly. He knew that Wu Xinyu didn't take people's things casually, so he could only pretend to exchange.

As soon as Wu Xinyu heard this, he immediately handed over the dog's tail grass with grasshoppers on it, reached out and pinched a fritter and turned around and ran towards the Taoist temple. This situation made Zuo Dengfeng shake his head helplessly again, Wu Xinyu was not a fool, she knew that fritters were rarer than grasshoppers, so she only took one.

After shaking his head, Zuo Dengfeng wrapped the remaining fritters and put them in his coat pocket, picked up the shovel and head again and returned to the Taoist temple.

Back to Qingshuiguan, Zuo Dengfeng immediately started to build the pot stove from the east chamber main house, connected the pot stove to the kang after the wall was opened, and then blocked the fire mouth of the south house after it was built, after doing all this, it was already dark, Wu Xinyu made a fire in the middle of the yard to bake sweet potatoes, Zuo Dengfeng stepped forward and took the sweet potatoes and washed them and put them in the pot to cook with rice.

Wu Xinyu, who was robbed of sweet potatoes, had been standing quietly at the door of the east chamber and watching Zuo Dengfeng make a fire and cook, with a calm and thoughtful expression.

"Don't you and your master usually cook?" Zuo Dengfeng squatted under the stove to add fire to the stove. In the entire Qingshui Temple, only the east chamber is a clay kang, although the kang can be burned here, there is no way to cook, so Zuo Dengfeng is very strange what the master and apprentice ate before.

Wu Xinyu shook her head slowly when she heard this, signaling that she and her master didn't usually cook.

"And what do you usually eat?" Zuo Dengfeng asked suspiciously.

Wu Xinyu still shook her head, it was already dark at this time, and she didn't write with stones anymore.

Seeing this, Zuo Dengfeng didn't ask any more, Tian Chai cooked the rice, took out a bowl and handed it to Wu Xinyu, Wu Xinyu glanced at Zuo Dengfeng, did not take the bowl of rice, and stretched out his hand to signal Zuo Dengfeng to give her the two sweet potatoes.

Zuo Dengfeng delivered it several times, Wu Xinyu always stubbornly asked for the two sweet potatoes, and in the end, he even turned around and left, and even didn't want the sweet potatoes, Zuo Dengfeng had no choice but to chase after her and hand the two sweet potatoes to her.

Wu Xinyu took the sweet potato and returned to the West Chamber, but did not come out again.

This night Zuo Dengfeng slept very well, the next morning, Zuo Dengfeng pushed the door out, as soon as he went out, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, the whole courtyard of Qingshui View is full of dry pine trees, the thin one has the thickness of the wrist, the thickest one is as thick as a bucket, and the branches with branches are all the whole tree.

"Wu Xinyu, did you do this?" After standing in astonishment for a long time, Zuo Dengfeng finally reacted and shouted at the West Chamber. After shouting, Wu Xinyu didn't push the door out, probably not in the house.

didn't get a response from Wu Xinyu, Zuo Dengfeng shifted his attention to those pine trees, the lightest of these pine trees is dozens of catties, and the thickest one is at least more than two hundred catties, such a heavy weight Wu Xinyu A woman can never drag it, but there are obvious traces of drag at the collapsed courtyard wall, which means that these trees are dragged in from the outside, except for him, there is only Wu Xinyu, who can it be if it is not Wu Xinyu?

With full of doubts, Zuo Dengfeng walked out of the east chamber and came to the Taoist temple, as soon as he went out and was startled, he saw Wu Xinyu carrying a water tank from the pond in the east of the Taoist temple up, the water tank Zuo Dengfeng saw it in the main hall yesterday, enough to have a hug of thickness, high energy to the waist, if filled with water at least more than 300 catties, at this time Zuo Dengfeng was in a high place, you can clearly see that the water tank carried by Wu Xinyu is filled with water. Wu Xinyu's height is less than one meter six, and her weight is only seventy or eighty pounds, how can she carry something more than three times her weight, and seeing that she is carrying the water tank up the slope without any signs of effort, how can this be?

Fortunately, it was daytime at this time, and if it had been changed to night, Zuo Dengfeng would have been scared. At this time, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was that he was fortunate that he didn't rush in the night before to beat Wu Xinyu.

Zuo Dengfeng stood at the door of the Taoist temple in a daze and watched Wu Xinyu approach little by little, Wu Xinyu turned his head to look at him when he passed by Zuo Dengfeng, Zuo Dengfeng subconsciously took a few steps back, Wu Xinyu saw this and showed a puzzled expression, turned around and walked into the Taoist temple from the collapsed gap, Zuo Dengfeng followed in amazement.

Wu Xinyu walked to the door of the east chamber and put down the water tank, turned around and sat down on the steps of the west chamber.

"Why do you have so much strength?" Zuo Dengfeng walked up to Wu Xinyu and asked.

Wu Xinyu shook his head slowly when he heard this, and did not answer Zuo Dengfeng's question in any way.

"Born?" Zuo Dengfeng asked eagerly. What Wu Xinyu did was beyond the normal scope, and Zuo Dengfeng had more fear than curiosity in his heart.

Wu Xinyu still shook his head.

"What your master taught you?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again. Some Taoist priests practice martial arts, so Zuo Dengfeng asked this question. However, ordinary martial arts can only strengthen the body, and it is impossible to do such things beyond the limits of the human body.

What Zuo Dengfeng didn't expect was that Wu Xinyu nodded in acquiescence this time.

"Is this martial art?" As soon as he saw her acquiescing, Zuo Dengfeng immediately struck while the iron was hot and wanted to know the truth of the matter.

Wu Xinyu shook her head again when she heard this, her mental state today was not very good, maybe she was uncomfortable, and her brows had been slightly furrowed.

"What's that?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again.

"Taoism." Wu Xinyu picked up the stone used yesterday and wrote from the gray brick.

Zuo Dengfeng was immediately shocked when he saw these two words, he had studied culture with Mr. Wang for more than ten years, four books and five classics, astronomy and geography, poetry and history, mathematics and businessmen, and in his spare time, Mr. Wang even taught him some of the words he learned when he was in the United States, but all of these are orthodox cultural knowledge, so Zuo Dengfeng does not believe in any Taoism and spells, in his opinion, the so-called Taoism is the trick of the witch of the dancing god and the fortune-telling stick to cheat money, But he couldn't believe the living facts in front of him.

"You have so much strength, why do you still bring those dead people over to scare people?" Zuo Dengfeng finally understood how Wu Xinyu moved those dead corpses back then.

Wu Xinyu stared at Zuo Dengfeng after hearing Zuo Dengfeng's words, and it wasn't until Zuo Dengfeng who was staring at him that he was hairy and wrote a line of words with a stone, "The master left suddenly, and the Taoist technique was not fully learned, and there were only three days a month." ”

"Oh!" Zuo Dengfeng suddenly realized that Wu Xinyu had been staring at him just now, just hesitating to tell him the truth. Wu Xinyu dared to tell him the truth, indicating that she already believed him.

"I'm not feeling well." Wu Xinyu wrote down a few words again, put down the stone and walked into the West Chamber.

Zuo Dengfeng watched Wu Xinyu enter the house suspiciously, and at the moment when Wu Xinyu got up, Zuo Dengfeng, who had two sisters, already knew what Wu Xinyu meant by being uncomfortable.

After Wu Xinyu entered the house, Zuo Dengfeng did not leave immediately, but stood in place to sort out his thoughts, a courtyard of pine trees and a water tank full of water showed that what Wu Xinyu said was true, and she did know Taoism. But because her master left in such a hurry ten years ago, she only learned a little bit of fur, and she could only use it when she came on monthly leave. In addition, the two wings in the east and west and the two futons in the main hall show that there were only two people in this Taoist temple, where did her master go, why she left in such a hurry back then, and why there was no kitchen in the Taoist temple, these questions made Zuo Dengfeng feel puzzled but unable to guess.

Standing for a long time, Zuo Dengfeng came back to his senses, he needs to do a lot of work, the top priority is to bury the bones in the main hall, thinking of this, Zuo Dengfeng left the Taoist temple with his head and shovel, came to the jungle on the east side to dig a huge pit, and then returned to the Taoist temple to move the bones out one by one.

"Zuo Dengfeng, did you take my kitchen knife?" Just when Zuo Dengfeng walked out of the Taoist temple with a bag of bones wrapped in the weeping yellow cloth in the main hall, there was a shout from the bottom of the mountain, Zuo Dengfeng looked up and looked west, and found that the fat sea where the culture was cooking was coming from the bottom of the mountain.

"Why are you here?" Zuo Dengfeng stopped and asked. Fat Dahai's real name is Dang Hai, a few years older than Zuo Dengfeng, because he is very obese, everyone calls him Fat Dahai, he was introduced by Zuo Dengfeng into the culture to cook, so the relationship between Ping Yuli and Zuo Dengfeng is very good.

"Hu Qian asked me to come and see you." Fat Dahai walked up quickly.

", let me see if I'm dead, right?" Zuo Dengfeng couldn't help but let out a cold snort, even the security chief outside knew about the haunting of Qingshuiguan, it was impossible for Sun Aiguo and Hu Qian not to know, this pair of dog men and women didn't have any good intentions at all to get themselves here.

"Oops, I'm exhausted." Fat Dahai walked to Zuo Dengfeng and sat on the steps outside the Taoist temple.

"How did you get here?" Zuo Dengfeng asked. The walking speed of normal people is five kilometers to seven kilometers per hour, and the walking speed of Fat Dahai is not as good as that gongzi.

"Come on the director's bicycle, these steamed buns are for you." Fat Dahai handed over the small burden in his hand.

"Thank you, fatty, you can leave quickly, this place is haunted." Zuo Dengfeng took the burden and said. He didn't want to tell the truth to Fat Dahai, because he didn't have a door on his mouth, and when he went back and said that he had leaked his mouth, Hu Qian and Sun Aiguo couldn't help it and wanted to toss themselves again.

"Oh, I just came to tell you this, I heard the people in the office say that this place is not clean." Fat Dahai got up and looked at the broken Taoist temple with fear on his face.

"At night, the wind is gusting, the ghosts are crying and the wolves are howling, and the bones of the dead are all over the ground, you see." Zuo Dengfeng said and handed the yellow cloth wrapped in the bones to the fat sea.

Fat Dahai took it easily, grabbed a skull, and threw the bag of bones with a whoosh.

"Lao Zuo, let's not do it, don't put your life on the line for a few dollars." Fat Dahai stared at the bag of scattered bones, and his face was colorless.

"I don't have money for my mother to eat, and my two sisters, one of them gave birth to three or four, and they drink the northwest wind." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and sighed. It's fake that it's haunted here, but it's true that he needs money.

"It's not a problem, I look at this place and my scalp is numb, and you don't have to be scared to death at night." Fat Dahai looked concerned.

"You go back and talk to Hu Qian and the director, get me back as soon as possible, I'll go crazy if I stay here any longer." Zuo Dengfeng retreated as advance, in fact, he knew very well that Hu Qian wanted him to go crazy.

"Okay, I'll go first." Fat Dahai turned around and left, although he was tall and big, he was timid.

"Your kitchen knife is still with me." Zuo Dengfeng said loudly.

"You can keep it for yourself, and I'll bring you a dirt gun next time." The fat sea didn't look back.

"Great, don't forget." There are many rabbits in the mountains, and Zuo Dengfeng immediately thought of beating rabbits with a soil gun.

"No, it's not easy to fight ghosts with dirt guns, I'd better think of getting you a peachwood sword......"
