Chapter 36: Master's Daughter
The villagers left disappointed. And the mood of the abbot and I was not calm.
Everything just now is too unbelievable for the two of us.
Although the abbot is a lot older than me, he obviously has no opinion on this kind of matter, and he asked me with a blank face: "Xu You, what should we do?" "
I thought for a moment: "Otherwise, let's go back to the Great Holy Temple first?" Then find an opportunity to take Master's words and see what he came from. "
The abbot thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The two of us tossed and turned all night, and by this time it was almost dawn.
During the day, we lied to Zhang Yuan, but we didn't return home all night, and I don't know what he thinks now.
I walked side by side with the abbot for a while, and then we left the village and walked towards the city. Suddenly, I felt a tingling pain in my calf, as if something had bitten the flesh on my leg.
I gasped, snorted, and fell to one knee.
The abbot hurriedly squatted down and asked me with concern: "Xu You, what's wrong with you?" "
I put my hands on the ground, and the beads of sweat on my forehead fell like a click. I gritted my teeth and squeezed a few words out of my throat: "It hurts, right leg, it hurts." "
The abbot hurriedly helped me to sit on the ground, and then pulled my trousers up.
We both gasped.
I have a dark spot on my calf and it is festering at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
I felt a chill in my heart: "This location is exactly the place where the dead person bitten." "
I was just thinking about this, when suddenly, there was a pain in my back. The whole back was hot, as if someone was ironing it with a soldering iron.
I screamed and fell to the ground. Stick your back against the cold road and try to relieve the pain in this way. But the burning sensation was already in my bones, and no matter how much I struggled, it didn't help.
I turned pale with pain, and the abbot turned pale with fright.
I lay on the ground and screamed, "Paralyzed, it hurts me to death." "
The abbot sat on the ground and howled vigorously: "Xu You, can you do it?" I don't know the way when you're dead. "
When I heard this, I was immediately furious, endured the pain and said, "Take a taxi, find a car quickly, go back to the Great Holy Temple, only the master can save me." "
At this time, like a mirror in my heart, I knew that the ulceration on Lu Dao's body was probably related to those dead bodies. So I asked the abbot to take a taxi and hurry back to the Great Holy Temple.
This is the time when the sky is about to dawn and not yet dawn. There was basically no one on the road. Except for some students dressed up and unkempt young men, who had just returned from a night at an Internet café. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to find a taxi at this time.
By the time the abbot and I finally got into the car, it was already half an hour later.
I sat in the car with my eyes slightly closed. By this time I didn't feel any pain. Not only did I not feel pain, but I almost didn't feel my body at all.
The taxi driver sniffed and said in surprise, "Why does it stink so much?" "
The abbot sneered: "I haven't washed my feet much lately." "
The driver shook his head: "No, you have athlete's foot smell, it's the smell of stinky meat." Ay? The driver saw me sitting in the back seat without saying a word, shaking, and couldn't help asking, "Is this person you brought alive or dead?" "
The abbot was a little upset: "How do you speak?" A curse with red mouth and white teeth? "
I opened my mouth with difficulty and made a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, master, I'm still alive." "
It's good that I didn't make a sound, but as soon as I spoke, the driver was scared of the brakes, and I couldn't help but curse in my mouth: "Dude, your voice scared me to death." Looking at you like this, even if you don't die, you should be fast, right? "
The abbot urged: "Knowing that the road is fast and you won't leave?" The Great Holy Temple, if you don't go again, you'll be really dead. "
The driver was helpless, and said while speeding up: "Feudal superstition kills people, and if you are sick, you don't go to the hospital but go to see the Bodhisattva." "
Neither I nor the abbot paid any attention to him. We are so anxious, how can we have the heart to talk nonsense with him?
The taxi turned a few corners, and my consciousness was getting a little blurry.
Suddenly, I smelled a familiar stench. I was happy in my heart: "The stinky river has arrived." Sure enough, two minutes later, the driver pulled the car over, and I heard him say, "It's here." "
The abbot dragged me out of the taxi, then carried me on his back, and complained as he ran in the direction of the Great Holy Temple: "Xu You, you are a little sticky here. "
I was sick to hear it. A feeling of weakness came out of my heart. I scolded weakly: "Paralyzed." Then he couldn't open his eyes again.
It is said that when a person dies, his hearing is the most disastrous and then disappears. I feel that feeling all right now. I couldn't see or feel anything, but I could still faintly hear some sounds.
I heard the conversation, one anxious, the other surprised. But I couldn't hear the conversation clearly, because my brain was almost out of mine
I don't know how long I've been in the dark.
I heard someone calling me, and I opened my eyes and saw the abbot and Zhang Yuan standing beside me.
I said weakly, "Master, you still saved me." "
Zhang Yuan kept a cold face and didn't speak.
The abbot smiled: "My credit is not small, if it weren't for me, you would have become a pile of rotten meat." "
Zhang Yuan looked at me and said coldly: "Since you have woken up, let's talk about what is going on." I don't understand the words of this bald donkey. "
Although Zhang Yuan had an eccentric temper, he never used "bald donkey" to call the abbot. When I hear him say those two words now, I can't help but want to laugh.
The abbot's face turned red and said, "Why don't you understand? I've made it clear enough. We both had the same dream, but it could have been an out-of-body experience. Anyway, I hid in the coffin, but your apprentice had to fight with the dead, and he ended up bitten like this. "
I couldn't help but shake my head, thinking to myself, "No wonder Master doesn't understand." It seems that the abbot did not have the courage to tell the truth that he found out that the master was a ghost. Cutting the head and removing the tail, this matter naturally sounds a little confused. I thought about it for a moment and said to my abbot, "Give me a hand." "
I sat up from the bed and looked at my body, which was almost covered in bandages. I touched my body, I had regained my senses, and it seemed that this life was preserved.
I'm thinking about how to tell Zhang Yuan about it. Say it all, or try it slowly.
At this time, Zhang Yuan took out a peachwood sword and asked me, "Where did this come from?" "
I took a look, and the sword belonged to the girl in the coffin.
I didn't tell him directly, but asked, "Master knows this sword?" "
Zhang Yuan nodded and said lightly: "I made this sword." "
My heart moved, and it seemed that I had guessed it.
So I didn't hide it anymore, and said, "I met a beautiful woman who was about the same age as me and very beautiful, and this sword was taken from her hand. "
Zhang Yuan's expression was a little strange, and he asked eagerly, "Where is she?" How did you meet her? "
Instead of answering him, I asked, "Master knows him?" "
Zhang Yuan looked a little anxious, but he breathed a sigh of relief: "I said before that my wife was once killed, and then my daughter disappeared inexplicably. This sword belongs to my daughter. Where the hell did you see her? "
Although I had vaguely guessed that this beauty and Zhang Yuan must have something to do with it, I really didn't expect that they were actually father and daughter.
At this time, I no longer hid it, stared at Zhang Yuan with my eyes, and said, "In the coffin shop." "
Zhang Yuan's expression was flustered: "Which coffin shop?" "
I continued, "It's the coffin shop where you sent the ghost there. "
Zhang Yuan's expression changed: "How do you know where Lu Dao is?" "
I reluctantly stood up and looked directly at Zhang Yuan: "I not only know where the Dao is, but also know the Dao, you are a ghost who hooks the soul." "
Zhang Yuan and I didn't speak, and the two of us stared at each other, as if they were competing with each other. Whoever gets discouraged first loses.
I was so badly injured that I barely stood on the ground for a while, only to feel dizzy and about to fall. I only heard Zhang Yuanchang take a breath: "I originally planned to tell you when you have a small success in practice." "
As soon as I heard this, I knew that Zhang Yuan was going to tell me the truth. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sat on the bed.
Zhang Yuan looked at the abbot: "You also want to listen?" "
The abbot glared: "Why don't I listen?" "
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Since you are also involved, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but after listening to it, don't regret it." "
When these words were spoken, the abbot's face began to show hesitation, and he looked at Zhang Yuan: "After hearing this, is there any danger?" "
Zhang Yuan ignored him directly, just looked at me, and said, "You tell me first, how is she now?" Is it life or death? "
I naturally knew that Zhang Yuan was asking about his daughter, thought about it, and replied: "I don't know if she is alive or dead." When I saw her, she was lying in a coffin. However, I could hear her, and I felt that she had deliberately let me take the sword. "
Zhang Yuan's eyes began to complicate: "Coffin shop? Lying inside a coffin? Could it be that they took her away? "
Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then said to me, "That's right, I'm indeed a ghost. But don't be afraid, I don't want to do this, I'm forced too. "
I was surprised: "Forced? "At the beginning, I thought that Zhang Yuan was born with a bad color, but I didn't expect that he was forced to be helpless.
Zhang Yuan nodded and said to me, "Do you remember the old man in the third bed?" "
I thought about it: "Is it the cell boss who plagued Li Xiaoxing's family before?" "
Zhang Yuan nodded, and then said, "He used to be a ghost messenger too. And, again, forced. Originally, Yang Shou was at the end of his life, and he should die, but he used the Taoist skills he learned in his life to go against the sky, hide in Tibet, and stay in the world to survive. "
