Chapter 8 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain
I didn't expect this bad old man to have such a warm side.
In the next second, Lin Daosheng became serious again, there seemed to be a murderous aura flashing between his eyebrows, his fists clenched and released, and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany him." He hurried out the door.
I knew in my heart that Lin Daosheng also went to settle accounts with Sixth Master Qi, and after making sure that Li Cuilan was fine, he hurriedly chased him out.
"Grandpa Lin, are you sure you can deal with Sixth Master Qi?" I asked weakly.
"Nope."
"Still going without you?"
Lin Daosheng stopped, "I didn't know before, but now that I know about it, it's my fault if I don't do something." The husband knows that he can't do it, and he should do it, even if he can't do it, this is my 'way'. β
"Okay, I'll go with you, although I won't be able to help much." I was suddenly arrogant, copied a kitchen knife from the kitchen, and took Lin Daosheng to Qi Liuye's house.
However, when we went to Qi Liuye's house, we were completely dumbfounded.
I saw that the door was open, but the room was dark, and I suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
When I turned on the light, I saw that the furnishings in the house were still the same, but there was no one.
I walked towards Shen Xi and took away the spirit seat, but the portrait of the cat ghost and the bowl hidden in the innermost part were gone!
Qi Sixth Master must have thought that I was already dead, and it was impossible to know that I would kill me back, and even if he did, he would not be afraid of me, and there was no reason why he would slip away?
Lin Daosheng's face changed greatly, and he muttered: "Oh no, I fell for Senior Brother's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" He must have gone to break the seal of the cat ghost! β
The kitchen knife in my hand fell to the ground, and I woke up like a dream.
Yes, Sixth Master Qi knew that Lin Daosheng was guarding the waste well, so it was impossible for me to be killed by the cat ghost, but instead he would use me to lure Lin Daosheng to the village to solve Li Cuilan's matter, in order to delay time, so that he could unlock the seal of the cat ghost.
From beginning to end, his purpose was not to train Zhao Di to be a little ghost and kill me, but to kill me and kill me, but to be a cat ghost under the waste well!
I, Zhao Di, and Li Fucheng became a pawn in his implementation plan.
This person's city is deep, and his intentions are vicious, which is really terrifying.
The next day.
The first rays of the rising sun shone on me, but I didn't feel the warmth at all.
Standing in the wet and smelly waste well, thinking of last night's events, it is like a world away.
It's just that the hideous cat ghost last night has disappeared at this time, only the shackles and iron chains soaked in the water remain.
Lin Daosheng's face was like ashes, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Grandpa Lin, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me......" I regretted it, clenched my fists tightly, and the hatred for Qi Liuye in my heart rose to the top.
Lin Daosheng raised his hand backwards, "Needless to say, I don't blame you for this matter." If I don't go out, Li Cuilan will have two deaths. β
The cat ghost escaped, watching that he had been on duty for half his life and ended up empty, even though Lin Daosheng was broad, he seemed to be aging in an instant at this time.
"I'm in my last years, I'm old and decrepit, the sky is big, where can I go to catch the cat ghost? Master, I'm sorry, but I failed your sustenance! Lin Daosheng raised his head and sighed, with tears hidden in his eyes.
Looking at Lin Daosheng's somewhat rickety back and pale hair, I was filled with grief and indignation in my heart, and said: "Grandpa Lin, why don't you hand over your skills to me, and I will hunt down the cat ghost and Qi Liuye, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I will definitely catch him!" β
A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Daosheng's dim and cloudy eyes, "Really? β
I nodded, and said firmly, "Really." β
"Can you beat my brother?" Lin Daosheng was a little skeptical.
I shrugged my shoulders and smiled: "As you said, the eldest husband doesn't ask if it can be done, but where the Tao is, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go." β
Lin Daosheng dragged the water, walked up to me, looked at me appreciatively, and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Where a good saying is, although tens of millions of people have gone to me, I will teach you a skill!"
I was so excited, I was going to kneel down and call him a master when I learned the opera.
Lin Daosheng held me up and said with a smile: "It's too clichΓ© to be commensurate with master and apprentice, and if you can understand this truth, it proves that we are fellow practitioners." In this way, if you don't dislike it, just call me big brother, and we'll be friends right for the year. β
Although it was weird, I still shouted, "Big brother." β
Lin Daosheng was relieved and said three 'good' in a row.
My heart is full of fighting spirit, wait, Qi Sixth Master, I will definitely learn this matter, and then I will settle accounts with you!
Seeing the gourd hanging from Lin Daosheng's waist, I suddenly remembered something, "Master Lin...... Oh no, big brother, what about Zhao Di? β
Lin Daosheng said: "It's gloomy and damp here, and staying for a long time is not good for the body, so let's go up and talk about it." β
A dilapidated thatched hut around the mass grave is Lin Daosheng's residence.
It's simple, it's damp, and it's only a little more comfortable than going down a waste well.
The tables and chairs inside are all a little broken, covered with a layer of dust, and the gods are neat and tidy, and Lin Daosheng's master Xu Zhenren is enshrined on it.
"Sit, sorry brother, there's no tea here." Lin Daosheng said a little apologetically.
"It's okay, I'm not thirsty."
I sat down and watched Lin Daosheng put the gourd around his waist on the table with a worried face.
"Big brother, can Zhao Di be saved?"
Lin Daosheng's face was difficult, "It's difficult, fortunately, but she wasn't hit head-on by my pardon talisman, but the injury was not light, and she was very weak at this time...... I'm afraid I'm going to be gone. β
"That'...... Is there really no way to save her? Zhao Di is a good girl, she repays her grievances with virtue, why did she end up like this? I grabbed his hand in a hurry.
"There is a way, but it is ......"
I hurriedly said: "At this time, don't sell it, is there any way to save Zhaodi, you said." β
Lin Daosheng looked at me and said seriously: "The way is to let her yin soul recognize the master, which is commonly known as raising a little ghost, so that she can continue to survive." β
I said, "What's the difference between this and Qi Liuye's evil arts?" β
Lin Daosheng said: "There is no distinction between good and evil, but people are good or bad, it only depends on how you use them." Some people raise ghosts just to satisfy their own selfish desires, this is evil art, but if it is used in the right way, to save people and drive away evil spirits, it is nothing to raise ghosts. β
I seemed to realize and nodded.
"But don't be too happy, Zhao Di's injury is too serious, it's not like an ordinary little ghost. I can cast a spell to save her, but after the deed is completed, you and her will form a community, one will prosper and the other will lose, that is to say, if something happens to Zhao Di, you will also die, and vice versa, can you accept it? β
After listening to Lin Daosheng's words, I hesitated a little.
Lin Daosheng seemed to see through my thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's not so easy to be a good person, but you don't have to be afraid, when she accumulates enough merits, she will be reborn, and she won't follow you for a lifetime." β
I gritted my teeth, "Okay, it's rare for me to do a good deed, so I just help others to the end." β
Next, with the help of Lin Daosheng, the corpses of the Li father and daughter were sparked.
I took back Zhao Di's ashes and enshrined them, and Lin Daosheng chose a good day to cast a spell on us.
In the thatched hut, Lin Daosheng solemnly gathered his face and respectfully put incense.
Lin Daosheng first took out a little of Zhao Di's ashes and stirred it in the cup, then separated my fingers with a knife, dripped blood, and burned it with yellow paper with the eight characters of Zhao Di and my birthday.
I knelt on the futon, my hands folded, my eyes closed, and I only heard Lin Daosheng's whisper in my ears, accompanied by the sound of dancing mahogany swords.
"You can open your eyes now."
I opened my eyes and saw Zhao Di standing in front of me, still wearing the cute pair of tiger head shoes on her feet, still cute, except that her face was a little pale.
"Big brother, thank you. If it weren't for you, Zhao Di would probably have already ......" The more Zhao Di spoke, the more excited she became, and she was about to kneel down to me as she spoke.
I hurriedly helped her up and said with a smile: "It's good that you're okay, what a cute little girl, wouldn't it be a pity if it was gone?" β
Zhao Di's eyes were red, and she was amused by me, and she smiled so much that she showed her little tiger teeth.
"Okay, although you are dead, but you have a new life...... I paused, feeling that the previous words were a bit tongue-twisting, and continued: "From now on, your life belongs to you, Zhao Di Zhao Di, recruit a younger brother, this name is not good, it seems that the value of your life is for men, how about giving you a new name?" β
"Okay, okay, big brother give me a nice name." Although he has become a ghost, Zhao Di's child's temperament has not changed at all.
Now I have a hard time, I don't know what to name at all, so I have to look at Lin Daosheng with a distress look.
Lin Daosheng twisted his beard and said leisurely: "This little girl has a good nature, although she has experienced the worst evil, she will not change her original intention, so she will be called Suxin." β
"Li Suxin, Li Suxin, this name is good." The little female ghost clapped her hands and said happily.
Lin Daosheng walked up to me and said, "Su Xin has been reborn, and now it's your turn." β
"Me?"
Nodding, Lin Daosheng said: "Yes, can you catch Qi Liu, at present, he and the cat ghost are in the dark, with me, he doesn't dare to act rashly, but after a hundred years, it will be easy for them to harm you, you shouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that they will let you go, right?" Therefore, if you want to save your life, you have to enter my Maoshan Gate. β
