A few of us stopped around the pit we had dug.

The abbot and I touched the stone box with a shovel: "It seems to be made of ash." The quality of this urn is not very good. "

Mama Li looked at the pit and said a little puzzled: "Something is wrong, if this is an urn, it is too shallow to bury." Entering the soil is safe, entering the soil is safe, this depth is not considered into the soil at all. It's just put on the ground, and then build up a little dirt. "

The abbot sniffed: "In the middle of the night, let's not study this, it's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip." Wouldn't opening the urn know the truth? "

This urn is different from the others, there is no opening at all, the abbot tried it, and then began to smash it with a shovel, the shovel smashed on the urn, and a crisp sound came out in the night, and the people who listened to it had sore teeth.

Li Xiaoxing couldn't help but say: "Don't smash it, it's too infiltrating in the middle of the night." "

The abbot didn't listen, and still smashed it down, and the sparks were scattered. Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and the urn split into several petals.

Immediately afterward, a cold wind blew from inside, and a large cloud of dust came out and covered us.

We covered our mouths and noses and fled in all directions.

Li Xiaoxing looked at me and the abbot with palpitations: "You two are too bold, isn't this a frustration." "

I slapped the ashes on my body while enduring the nausea. After cleaning up a little, he said to his abbot, "Go and see, what's going on." "

The dust had settled, and we walked slowly over to see the urn lying on the ground, and in addition to the smashed cement, there was a small paper figure inside.

This paper figure has a nose and eyes painted on it, and the painting is not very good. But I can see at a glance that it has the charm of an old man with a three-bed bed.

Obviously, the abbot also saw it and said to me, "This paper figure is a bit like an old man with three beds." "

I turned the paper figure over and saw that his birth date was written on his back. If you didn't guess wrong, it should be the old man's eight characters.

The abbot asked me, "What shall we do?" "

I shook my head: "This paper figure must have something to do with the old man." We've got to find a way to find him. "

Mama Li sighed: "Okay, our paper is also burned, let's go back early." Staying in the graveyard in the middle of the night is weird and scary. "

I squeezed the paper figure in my hand, carried a shovel on my shoulder, and began to walk back.

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a figure flash in the darkness in front of him. The man was hunched on his back, but his head was lifted upwards with all his might. It was the grave keeper I met before.

The abbot looked at the hunchback and smiled: "You kid is too slow, you didn't rush over until we finished our work." Are we playing tortoise-hare racing? "

Ignoring the abbot, the hunchback slowly passed through the crowd, walked up to me, and said in a low voice, "Give me the paper man." "

I was a little surprised: "How do you know that I just got a paper figure?" "

The hunchbacked voice was a little impatient: "This paper figure is what I can do with confidence, of course I know it." "

Now it was my turn to be surprised: "You put it in?" Do you know the old man with three beds? "

Mother Li was also a little surprised: "Second uncle, haven't you heard of this called Wu Tianzheng?" "

The hunchback sneered and said, "Who said I hadn't heard of it?" Then I saw him slowly straighten up.

Mother Li exclaimed: "Second uncle, is your hunchback okay?" "

When we bent over before the hunchback, we didn't feel anything. Now that he was standing upright, I suddenly noticed that he was very great, very tall, a head taller than me and the abbot.

Then, he said to me coldly, "Give me the paper figure." "

I was taken aback by this momentum, I settled down, pinched the paper figure and asked, "Tell me first, where is the old man in the third bed?" What is his relationship with this Wu Tianzheng? "

The hunchback suddenly let out a long laugh, looking very strange in the night wind. His eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at me and said, "The old man of the third bed? Wu Tianzheng? Both of these are me. "

I was a little surprised: "You are an old man with three beds?" It's not like that. "

Li Xiaoxing, who was standing behind me, pulled my clothes: "Xu You, ghost upper body." "

A sentence reminded me, and I suddenly understood, yes, the hunchback was ghosted.

At this moment, the hunchback suddenly yelled at me: "Do you master and apprentice plan to kill me completely?" I've given up the blood pact myself, and I'm almost dead. I have been resting for more than a month before I can barely recover. What more do you want? Give me back the paper man. "

I was a little scared, but I pinched the paper figure and didn't let go: "Let me give the paper figure to you, but you have to promise me one condition, my master"

Before I could finish my sentence, a gust of wind rushed towards my door, and I choked back on the second half of my sentence. Before I could react, I felt a hunchback grab at my collar and throw me out.

My body hit a tombstone, and I felt a sharp pain in my lower back, and I almost broke it.

I lay on the ground and struggled for a while, not having the strength to stand up at all.

I reluctantly pulled out the peachwood sword, but fortunately, I don't know if it was because I fed it with blood every day or what, this sword was unusually strong.

I silently thought in my heart: "You are a ghost, I will kill you with a peachwood sword, just right." "

However, before I could do it. A great shadow enveloped me.

I looked up and saw the hunchback standing in front of me. He looked at me condescendingly and reached out to snatch my mahogany sword away.

The hunchback looked at the peach wood sword in my hand happily: "The goods are good, they belong to me." "

I was lying on the ground, at a loss, when I saw the abbot standing tremblingly behind the hunchback, and in his hand, he happened to be holding the peachwood sword of the master's daughter.

I am overjoyed in my heart, as long as the abbot is willing to sneak attack and give him a beat, won't we win?

However, the abbot was standing there, hesitated for a moment, and hid the mahogany sword. He didn't even have the guts to sneak attack.

The hunchback got my peachwood sword and reached out to grab the paper figure in my hand again.

I clutched the paper figure tightly and threatened him: "You are polite, otherwise the paper figure will be torn." "

The hunchback was not threatened by me at all, the peachwood sword was pressed against my heart, and said lightly: "Did your master tell you that if you die, what will be the consequences?" "

I nodded blankly: "The soul is gone." "

When the hunchback heard these four words, the corners of his mouth twitched obviously. Then he exerted his strength, and the tip of the sword pierced through my clothes and against my skin, and there was a slight pain.

At this time, saving my life is the most important thing, I slowly handed the paper figure out, and said cautiously: "Master, my master has something to ask for, we"

Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly heard a muffled sound. The hunchback looked pained and fell straight down.

I looked in amazement at the abbot standing behind the hunchback with the stone.

The abbot's face was full of pride: "How is it?" Dare to threaten my buddy? "

Only then did I realize that the abbot had just put away the peachwood sword in order to pick up stones from the ground. In his opinion, the power of stone was far greater than that of a thin peachwood sword.

I got up from the ground and commanded the abbot, "Tie him up." "

There was no rope around here at all, so we untied our belts and tied the hunchbacks to death. During this period, Li's mother wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't speak. It is estimated that after seeing the thrilling scene just now, she also knew that she, the second uncle, was a dangerous person.

A few minutes later, we woke up with a hunchback. The boy looked around blankly, and suddenly howled like a pig: "What do you want to do? Are you going to deal with me? Suddenly, when he saw Mama Li, he said angrily: "You are not filial, you are in a gang with outsiders and tie up your second uncle."

I sighed: "Abbot, let him go." The old man with three beds is gone. "

The abbot let go of the hunchback and asked anxiously, "The old man is gone, what should your master do?" "

I looked at the paper man in my hand: "Although I don't know what use this paper man is for him, I am sure that as long as this paper man is in our hands, he will definitely rush back." Let's go back to the Great Sage Temple now. It's been a day and a night, and I don't know what happened to Master Lu Dao. "

The four of us were gone, leaving hunchbacks bent over, with great difficulty to fill in the pit we had dug with a shovel. In his words, this cemetery is the face of their old Li family. You can't make it so undignified.

By this time, it was already the middle of the night, and there were no buses on the road. And it's very remote and there aren't many taxis.

The four of us waited on the side of the road for a long time, and the abbot and I held the peachwood sword, and kept looking around vigilantly, for fear that the old man with the third bed would jump out of nowhere.

After tossing for a few hours, Li Xiaoxing's family finally returned home, and the abbot and I also returned to the Dasheng Temple.

As soon as I got back to the temple, I immediately ran to the toilet and shouted, "Master, how are you?" "

Fortunately, a gloomy voice came from inside the toilet: "I'm still here." "

Then, I carefully took out the basin of water and placed it safely on the main hall.

I stood far away with the abbot. The lights on the main hall were flickering, and Zhang Yuan's voice was also ethereal: "How is it?" Did you find the old man? "

I nodded, "I found it, but he wouldn't come back with us." "

Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, I also expected it, it was impossible to invite him back so smoothly." What did he say? Do you think the coffin shop is too dangerous to go? Or is it because you hate our master and apprentice and refuse to go? "

I shook my head: "Neither, I didn't have a chance to talk about the coffin shop at all." "

Speaking of which, I will tell you how we found the grave, how we found the paper man, and how the old man with the third bed got on the hunchback. I told it as it was.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan said: "This paper man is very important to him. Since the paper man is in our hands, he will definitely come to fetch it. You and the abbot do the preparations. "
