Chapter 48: The Helper
Although the old man said it was high-sounding, I looked at the coffin inside the funeral shed, and then looked at the image on the coffin. I couldn't help but feel a burst of cool air rushing up from the soles of my feet.
However, the abbot didn't know what was going on, so he had the courage to ask, "Old man, what are you going to do?" "
The old man looked at the two of us and said, "I've been paying attention to the people of your Great Holy Temple for a day or two. I know that your master has encountered something at the coffin shop. I can help with that. Only by helping you solve this worry can you break the curse, and in this way, it can be regarded as worthy of my master's last wish. "
When I heard this, my heart was overjoyed, but then I sank: "Can you believe this man's words?" Walking the rivers and lakes, you have to guard against it. "
However, the abbot became extremely enthusiastic: "Then you can quickly follow us to the Great Holy Temple." "
The old man smiled slightly: "Okay." Wait for me to clean up. "
Then he turned around and went into the house, leaving the two of us in the courtyard.
I hurriedly dragged the abbot: "Let's hurry up, and escape back as soon as possible while he is not paying attention." "
The abbot shook his head and pointed outside with a nervous expression: "Xu You, the outside is full of ghosts, let's escape from the city, and we will definitely let that old guy catch it." It's better to take him back to the Great Holy Temple. "
I shook my head again and again: "Isn't this a wolf in the house?" "
The abbot snapped his fingers and said, "This matter is good, I don't believe you count." In case this old man really wants to help us, then needless to say, everyone is happy. What if this old man has any other thoughts, what if there are two masters in our Great Holy Temple, one is Paper Zha Wu, and the other is your master, plus you, and he can't beat him? "
I looked at the abbot with some surprise: "Haven't you been living in a mess all the time?" Why are you so shrewd all of a sudden? "
The abbot waved his hand: "I am wise and foolish." "
The two of us were out thinking about it, and the old man had already come out with a burden on his back. He waved at the two of us, "Let's go." "
Then, lead the two of us outside.
The old people listening to the play outside saw the old man coming out and greeted him one after another. I noticed that the men were all very pale, and there was no trace of popularity in sight.
I craned my neck and followed the old man outside, walking a long distance without seeing the previous driver again.
Suddenly, the singing that had been echoing in my ears came to an abrupt end. I looked back. Where else is there a village behind him. Only one by one there were only grave bags, and they stayed quietly in the wilderness.
The abbot and I looked at each other in horror, and both gasped: "Could it be that the two of us have been wandering around the grave circle just now?" "
The abbot and I followed the old man step by step. Muttering behind him along the way.
The old man was very familiar with the road, and he quickly walked to the Great Holy Temple. Then, he stopped at the gate of the Great Temple.
The abbot and I followed him and asked, "Why don't you go in?" "
The old man turned around and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I can't get in." A ban was placed at the entrance of the temple. "
At this time, I suddenly remembered that since I escaped from the coffin shop, I have become more and more afraid, and I am always worried that one day the people from the coffin shop will come to arrest him again, so I remember to put a talisman at the gate.
Now the Dasheng Temple is a monk temple, and it is full of Taoist talismans, which looks a little nondescript.
The old man couldn't get in, and the abbot and I had mysterious smiles on our faces. Then they shouted and rushed in.
As soon as we entered the temple gate, we began to point at the old man and laughed: "Bad old man, our brothers have scared you all the way, you are paralyzed, you have the ability to come in." "
The old man had a wry smile on his face and waved his hand: "Two little dolls"
Then he shouted loudly into the temple: "Zhang Yuan, paper zha Wu, why don't you come out to pick me up soon?" "
Then, I heard footsteps behind me, and I walked from the temple dressed and dressed up. He looked at the two of us with a displeased expression: "In the middle of the night, where did you two go?" Let me and your master worry about it. "
The old man outside heard the voice and shouted loudly: "Paper Zha Wu, is it you?" "
Paper Zha Wu showed a cautious expression on his face again: "Who's outside?" "
I said, "A ghost." "
Paper Zha Wu already wanted to run away: "Ghost cha? "
I shook my head: "He said that he is also a Taoist priest, and he has a way to help us rescue the beautiful woman in the coffin shop." "
Paper Zha Wu was a little relieved: "You two let me go, let me see him." "
The abbot and I flashed to the side, and the paper Zawu walked to the door and looked at the old man, suddenly his whole body trembled, and his lips trembled and he shouted: "Senior." "Looks like I'm almost on my knees.
The old man outside the door said impatiently, "Why don't you tear up these rotten talismans?" "
Paper Zha Wu nodded hurriedly, tore off those talismans with all hands and feet, and then, the old man walked lightly to the Great Holy Temple.
Paper Zha Wu is careful, and he has never taken risks in his life. After the old man came in, he pasted those talismans back again.
I asked Zha Wu, "Who is this old man?" "
Paper Zha Wu quietly gave a thumbs up: "This one is a real master, and the kung fu under his hands is very hard." When I was killed, he once saved my life. "
As he spoke, the old man had already walked to the main hall, and then said loudly: "Zhang Yuan, do you recognize me?" "
Zhang Yuan said angrily in the urn inside the paper figure: "How could I not know the famous fortune teller old man at the train station more than ten years ago?" How? What about your body? Like me, someone got rid of you? "
The old man said lightly, "I am dead, and my body is buried in the grave." "
Zhang Yuan said categorically: "Impossible. All those who cultivate the Tao must evolve their souls after they die. Your soul can't be here. "
The old man said lightly: "I committed suicide, and my life is not over." "
Zhang Yuan's voice was a little puzzled: "What are you doing here?" "
The old man smiled: "To help you." Last month, I calculated a hexagram for myself, my yang lifespan will be over in three days, and when the time comes, someone will naturally come to arrest me and take me to the soul pool, rather than waiting to be killed, it is better to do something. "
Zhang Yuan's voice became excited: "How can you help me?" Help me save my daughter? After Zhang Yuan shouted, his tone darkened again: "No, although your Dao skills are good, you shouldn't be the opponent of that dumb person." We want to attack the coffin shop, but there is not much hope. "
The old man nodded: "That dumb man, neither human nor ghost, should be from the underworld." Decades ago, my master's longevity was at the end of his life, and he once set up a formation and wanted to prolong his life, but the dumb man came in, without saying a word, and fought with the master, my master's kung fu was much better than mine, but he couldn't even move five moves under the dumb man's hands, so he was arrested. At that time, I was next to me, and I wanted to go up to help, but I was glared at by a dumb man, and I couldn't move my whole body, and I watched him arrest the master. I will never forget that tragic scene in my life. "
Zhang Yuan said lightly: "Since that dumb man is so powerful, why do you think you can help me?" "
The old man took out a peachwood sword from his baggage. This sword is not the same as ours, ours is black and red. And his sword glowed green. The old man looked at the sword in his hand and muttered to himself: "Soul soul, soul good and evil, since the master was captured by the mute, I have been mixed with ghosts, and it has taken me more than 30 years to collect the spirit of countless evil ghosts, sealed in this sword, do you think, I can use this sword to fight with the dumb?" "
Zhang Yuan muttered in a low voice: "It can be, but your own soul"
The old man laughed: "Anyway, I'm going to die." Besides, I committed suicide in order to use my soul to trend these evil spirits, and the power should be greater than when I was alive. "
Zhang Yuan asked again: "What are you helping me for?" "
The old man pointed at me, and then at Zhang Yuan: "I calculated a hexagram, and it depends on your master and apprentice to break the curse on our faction." "
Zhang Yuanxi said: "Really? "
The old man asked rhetorically, "Do you think my hexagram is not effective?" "
Zhang Yuan responded again and again: "Spirit, spirit, how can it not be spiritual." "
The old man waved his hand: "Then let's not delay, hurry up and discuss how to rescue people." "
Then, several of them got into arguments and quarrels again.
Originally, the abbot and I were worried that this old man was not coming in the right way, and he might not be a good person. But it is obvious that Zhang Yuan and Paper Zha Wu both know this old man, and our hanging hearts have also been put down.
They discussed it for two days. And in the past two days, the Dasheng Temple has not been opened again.
The abbot sighed all day long, saying that we had destroyed his great temple.
In the evening of the next day, I instructed the abbot and me: "You two have a good night's sleep, and we will do it tomorrow night." "
I nervously asked, "Have you all discussed?" "
Paper Zha Wu shook his head: "There is still a little problem, but I can't wait." Tomorrow night, the old man's longevity will arrive. If you don't do it, you won't have a chance. "
At this moment, I suddenly realized that this matter was a bit unreliable. I'm a college student, what are you fooling around with this group of people?
The abbot dropped out of middle school, Zhang Yuan was resurrected from the dead, and the paper pierced Wu Evil Sect, the old man and the ghost are in the company, do these people have a serious thing?
My face twitched, and I said to the paper, "I want to go back to school." "
Zhang Yuan, who was hidden in the paper figure, said: "What school do you go to?" Stay in the Dasheng Temple honestly for the past two days, and when things are done, you can walk around the school as many times as you like. "
I sighed: "The day after tomorrow, what do you need me to do?" "
Zhang Yuan said: "Actually, it's mainly the three of us. When the hour comes, the old man and the mute will fight hard, and I will look for an opportunity to sneak up on him, and it is better to kill the mute. The two of you follow the paper and try to get the body out of the coffin. Then we'll fly away. As long as you escape from the jurisdiction of the dumb, there should be no trouble. "
I nodded, "As long as you can stop the dumb man, everything will be fine." "
The abbot said innocently, "Why am I again?" "
