It was nearly noon, and everyone was lazily sunburned in the warm autumn sun, when suddenly a figure quietly appeared beside them.

The young man he saw in the thick fog in the morning looked nervous and asked, "That Dao Master, have you really been waiting for me?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan opened his eyes, saw the man's cramped and uneasy expression, and said lazily: "You're here!" Now tell me, what happened to you, why did you put incense on the land temple by the roadside early in the morning? ”

The man took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed them out to the three men one by one, and then said, "Dao Chief, I don't know what you want to call it, how did you come to us?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan smiled and said: "My surname is Zhang, so you can call me Daochang Zhang." This is Li Bing, you can call him Brother Qian, these two are Zhao Wan'er and Sister Shi. A few of us are going to Qianxian, we met here in the morning, because the fog is too big to drive, I met you by chance, and found that your Yintang was black, and the yin qi was haunted, so I stayed and waited for you, and wanted to eliminate the disaster for you. ”

The man hurriedly said, "Daochang Zhang, save me!" This place is called Zhou Village, and my name is Zhou Jianjun. Zhang Daochang, I don't know what's going on during this time, I always feel uncomfortable, and I still break out in cold sweats from time to time. The old man in the village said that I had fallen into evil spirits, and instructed me to burn a few more pillars of incense for the land lord. ”

Zhang Yuanshan said: "Zhou Jianjun, you have been deeply evil, if the black qi spreads to your heart, then Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save you." Zhou Jianjun, let me ask you, have you encountered anything strange during this time? ”

Zhou Jianjun shook his head and said, "I didn't encounter anything strange!" After I came back from my part-time job a few years ago, I never wanted to go out again. But I couldn't find any good job for a while, so I stayed at home for a while. I haven't been out for more than a year. ”

Zhang Yuanshan carefully looked at Zhou Jianjun's face and said, "Then have you ever passed by any cemetery, or accidentally kicked something evil while walking?" ”

Zhou Jianjun still shook his head, and Zhang Yuanshan said strangely: "This is unlikely, right?" If you really haven't encountered anything strange, then the evil is so deep, it must be that you have too much contact with some yin object, which will lead to your current state. Do you have any antiques in your home, or have you picked up something from outside that you have taken home from an unknown source? ”

Zhou Jianjun thought carefully for a long time, but still shook his head. Zhang Yuanshan said solemnly: "Zhou Jianjun, I am not one of those Taoist priests who mess with the rivers and lakes. I stayed here and waiting for you today, in order to save you from a difficult situation, and I didn't charge you a penny, and you still hid it from me? ”

Zhou Jianjun was anxious and stammered: "Daochang Zhang, I really didn't lie to you, there are indeed no situations like what you said?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan paused for a moment, and blurted out: "Zhou Jianjun, is there anyone in your family who is wrong?" ”

Zhou Jianjun's face changed and said: "Daochang Zhang, you can't talk nonsense about this. I don't have anyone in my family, my parents have passed away a long time ago, and now I met a new girlfriend last month, and we are planning to get married next month! ”

Zhang Yuanshan suddenly came to his senses: "Zhou Jianjun, don't be angry, I ask you all kinds of situations now, just to know where the evil qi in your body comes from." Only when you know the reason can you prescribe the right medicine and return your peace. Do you only have one girlfriend at home? No one else? ”

Zhou Jianjun nodded, and Zhang Yuanshan asked again: "Zhou Jianjun, can you tell me about your girlfriend's situation?" For example, how did you meet her! ”

Zhou Jianjun said: "I went up the mountain to collect firewood, and I came back late." When I passed by, I got to know my current fiancée in a daze. ”

That day, after Zhou Jianjun came back from collecting firewood from the mountains, he crossed the mountain road and came to the place where several people are now, when he suddenly heard a small sobbing sound from a woman.

Zhou Jianjun is quite strange, at this time, how can there be a woman crying on the side of the road? He put down the firewood on his shoulder and followed the sound to find it.

There was a beautiful young woman sitting on the side of the road, and I saw that she was wearing a black dress, which set off her skin extremely white and tender. The woman held her head in her two white arms, her hair casually draped over her back, sobbing quietly, her shoulders twitching slightly.

Zhou Jianjun stepped forward and asked, "Girl, it's getting late, why are you sitting here crying alone?" ”

When the girl heard someone ask, she let go of her hands and slowly raised her head. When Zhou Jianjun saw the woman's face, he was immediately stunned.

Although the woman had tears on her face, her eyes were so big, and there was a crystal teardrop on her long eyelashes. When she saw Zhou Jianjun asking her, she hesitated, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhou Jianjun stood for a while, and was blown by a gust of evening breeze before he reacted. He said with concern: "Girl, this is a mountainous area, and it is relatively remote. It's getting late, and it will cool down in a while, and if you're still wearing a dress, you'll get cold. And in the wilderness, one of your girls' house is sitting on the side of the road, it's too unsafe. Girl, hurry home. ”

The girl stopped crying, sighed, and said after a long time, "Big brother, where are you going for me?" ”

Zhou Jianjun said: "Look at the girl's dress, it's not like us from the mountains, you are from the city, right?" There's no shop in front of the village, and there's nowhere to go. If the girl believes me, she can come to my house and stay overnight. You see, the one with the lights on over there is our Zhou Village. ”

The girl said gratefully, "Big brother, I am indeed not from here. My family forced me to marry a cripple for money. I was too stressed, and I had no choice but to escape. But who would have thought that within a few days of coming out, the wallet would be stolen. ”

Zhou Jianjun said in surprise: "What should I do then?" When you're away from home, it's hard to move an inch without money! ”

The girl sighed faintly and said, "Well, that's true. This morning, I aimlessly got on a bus. After getting in the car for a while, I fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took me to get a gentle push on my arm and told me it was time to buy a ticket. ”

"But I stole my wallet, how can I afford to buy a ticket? I've been hungry for a day and have nothing to eat. When the owner saw that I had no money, he immediately turned his face. Seeing that I had nothing of value on me, he insulted me and threw me out of the car. After walking for a while, I was hungry and tired, and I saw that it was getting late, and I couldn't see anyone anymore, so I was so anxious that I began to cry. ”

Zhou Jianjun soothed the woman with kind words, and warmly invited her to his house for a full meal, stay for one night, and make plans tomorrow.

The woman nodded gratefully, pulled her bangs scattered in front of her forehead, and followed Zhou Jianjun to Zhou's house.
