All Chapters_Chapter 23: Funan River
Jiang Chengdao?
I looked at the old man in front of me in a daze, and I didn't react for a while. My dad wants me to worship this old man in front of me who has only met once as a teacher?
I looked at my grandfather and didn't understand why he was so fiercely opposed when Wuwei Zhenren said that he wanted to accept me as an apprentice, but now he took the initiative to let me worship Jiang Chengdao as a teacher. I have also seen the ability of Wuwei real people, the spiritual incense in the courtyard of the Zhao family to summon demons, and the immobilization spells on the back mountain, each of them is very magical, if this old man is more powerful than Wuwei real people......
When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little excited.
"You melon baby, you're still stunned, why don't you call someone quickly!" When my dad saw me standing there dumbfounded, he slapped me on the head and said loudly.
I was taken aback by my dad and hurriedly shouted to Jiang Chengdao: "Daoist Jiang! ”
My dad suddenly frowned, pinched my face and said, "You fart doll, you've all apprenticed, and you still shout long?" Your skull is as wooden as wood. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I learned what I looked like on TV, and shouted to Jiang Chengdao crisply: "Master!"
Jiang Chengdao smiled happily, touched my head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Hey, what a good doll, wait until we go back to Qingcheng Mountain before we officially perform that apprenticeship." But you can't call Master in vain, come, Master will give you a small gift. ”
I saw Jiang Chengdao take out a piece of jade pendant, the jade pendant was snow-white, and it was warm in his hand, and a lion-like creature with horns on its head was carved on it. Jiang Chengdao gave me the jade pendant around my neck, the jade pendant was close to my body, and I felt a burst of warmth in my body, which was indescribably comfortable. My dad was standing next to him, and he smiled crookedly, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw that my grandfather's face was blue at the moment, his fists were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on it collapsed.
That night, after I worshiped the master, Jiang Chengdao and Mu Yueting did not stay at my house, but rushed to the county seat overnight, he said that the vein of Wuwei Zhenren seems to have some origins in the ancestors, and they are going to visit Wuwei Zhenren, and they will come to pick me up the day after tomorrow. We watched Jiang Chengdao and Mu Yueting get into a black Santana and leave Tsing Yi Village with the roar of cars. On the way back to the house, I saw my grandfather's back looking a little lonely and lonely.
That night, I lay on the bed and tossed and turned, thinking that I could learn advanced skills with Jiang Chengdao, and then I could learn to show off in front of people like those heroes and masters on TV, especially Ermao of the next door, when I thought of his expression when he looked at me dumbfounded, I couldn't sleep happily.
I don't know how long it took, when I fell into that half-asleep and half-awake state, I vaguely felt two people standing in front of my bed whispering something.
"Han Tao, do you really want to give the doll to that Jiang Chengdao as an apprentice? That's all we have! "It's my mother's voice, and I speak with a faint hint of crying.
"Ugh."
My dad sighed, and then said: "What can I do, you don't know what my old man looks like, if I hadn't come back in time this time, the female doll surnamed Mu would have been very powerful and defeated that monster, otherwise Xuan Wazi might have been killed!" ”
"Besides, Jiang Daochang has a great ability, he is very famous in Qingcheng Mountain and the whole Chengdu, if I hadn't formed a good relationship with him when I was helping in Chengdu before, I wouldn't have been able to invite him to help this time! Xuan Wazi can worship him as a teacher, not to mention that he is expected to learn a skill, but at least he can ensure safety, and staying away from his grandfather is also good for him. When my dad said this, his voice was still a little delighted.
"Then what are we doll going to study, he is ten years old, will he delay going to school? And what will I do when I think about him in the future? "My mom covered me with the quilt and said to my dad.
"You are really a person with long hair and short knowledge, and when you go to Chengdu, Jiang Daochang will naturally find a way for him. Maybe the conditions in Chengdu are not as good as your Shankaka? When I'm done here, we'll go to Chengdu to work, and you can see the dolls whenever you want. Besides, I don't want to stay in the village anymore, this place is really evil. "My dad's voice was a little low.
I slept a little dazed, and I couldn't remember what they said later, but I vaguely heard my mother say before leaving: "I think Xuan Wazi seems to care a lot about that little girl doll." ”
My dad laughed and scolded: "He's a little fart doll who is only ten years old, can he know what to do?" I was still playing in the mud in the fields when he was his age. ”
When I woke up the next day, I noticed that the atmosphere in the whole house had changed, and my grandfather had become silent, sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard and smoking a dry cigarette, not knowing what he was thinking. But my mom pulled me and kept saying some caring words, and made me a lot of delicious food.
But I didn't care about any of this, I just wondered in my heart when Master would come to pick me up and let me learn advanced skills with him.
Time passed in a hurry, until one night, when the morning sun was shining on the earth, a black Santana stopped at the gate of my house, attracting the attention of the surrounding villagers, thinking that some big relative had come to my house.
Master was still dressed the same as that day, wearing a cyan gown, looking in good spirits. Mu Yueting was dressed in a Taoist robe, and her delicate face looked like a beautiful picture in the glow.
When I walked into the car with a small package full of clothes, I saw my mother squatting on the ground crying, and my father's eyes were also a little red and swollen, I didn't understand these meanings at the age of ten, I laughed, arched my hand at them like in TV, and said, "When the child returns from school, I will repay the kindness of my parents." ”
I saw that my grandfather's face was pale, and he seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and even his straight waist was much more rickety. He whispered to me, "Study hard! ”
got on Santana, a middle-aged uncle-like starting car, and drove towards Chengdu. This is the first time I have taken a car, plus Mu Yueting is sitting next to me, she is sitting in the car with her eyes closed, which makes me a little nervous and dare not move.
I don't know how long it took, when it was getting dark, my whole body was numb, the car finally stopped, I got out of the car with my package, and saw the master and the middle-aged man say a word, the driver nodded, and then drove away.
"Master, are we going to Qingcheng Mountain?" I asked excitedly, it was my first time going far away, and I was curious about everything new around me.
Master listened to my words and said with a smile: "This is not busy, let's go meet an old friend first, Chengdu has not been peaceful recently, I have to go and talk to him about something." ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand, and followed behind the master, looking around as I went, like a dirt bun that had just entered the city, and felt that everything was strange.
Soon we came to the place, and before us was a great river rushing by, the water was so black that we could smell it from afar.
"This is the Funan River." Perhaps it was because he saw that I was confused, and Master explained to me with a smile; "In recent years, Chengdu has been renovated, and there are often some strange things coming out."
I nodded, and soon I was in front of a wooden house by the river, which was very large, and I don't know when it was built, and some of the wood was covered with moss. There are no other houses around, and this wooden house is a bit of a lonely house.
Master led us to the front of the house, knocked on the door, and then stood at the door and waited.
"Master, do you really want to find him? This old man has a strange temper. Mu Yueting, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.
I saw that the master nodded to her and said: "The Taoist Five Veins Mountain Doctor Fortune Divination, this Chengdu Earth Boundary Theory Divination Technique is also the most proficient in this old man Li, this time the matter is really complicated, especially when it comes to things under Dujiangyan, I always feel unsure." ”
After a while, the dilapidated wooden door suddenly opened, and I was startled by an extremely unpleasant sound.
An old man with gray hair and a thin body came out of the house, and he stood at the door without looking at my master and Mu Yueting, just staring at me.
I saw that the two eyeballs in this old man's eyes were all cloudy whites, and he looked very scary, this was a blind man! He just stared at me like this, and I could see that I was hairy all over my body, and goosebumps crawled all over my skin.
"Old man Li, you scared my apprentice." My master stood in front of me with a smile, blocking Old Man Li's terrifying appearance.
"Quack, no wonder I had a whim early this morning, and I counted that a distinguished guest came to the door. It turned out to be your old fellow's apprentice, what a blessing! Old man Li let out a strange laugh, his voice was sharp and harsh,
My master smiled and dragged the old man Li into the house, and when I saw the old man turn around, there was a wicked smile on his face, and he said, "Little one, don't run around tonight." ”
I felt a chill hit me, and I retreated, not daring to approach this strange old man, but fortunately my master quickly pulled him into the house.
"Wait and follow me, don't wander around."
A crisp and pleasant voice, my senior sister Mu Yueting said something in my ear, and I immediately felt warm in my heart when I heard it, and nodded heavily.
The master dragged the old man into the back room, not knowing what to say, while Mu Yueting sat aside and closed her eyes to recuperate. I felt a little bored and sat on a stool in a daze.
After a while, I felt a little bloated in my lower abdomen, which was very uncomfortable. I got up and walked outside.
"Where are you going?" Mu Yueting opened her eyes, looked at me and asked.
I was a little embarrassed and said, "I'...... I'm going to pee. ”
Mu Yueting nodded and continued to close her eyes, as if she was meditating.
I opened the wooden door and stood by the Funan River, a gust of wind blew, and I felt very cool, but the smell of the Funan River was really a little unpleasant.
I had just finished working out my physiology and was about to turn around and go back when I suddenly felt like something was grabbing my left ankle.
When I looked down, I was instantly frightened and my hair stood on end, and my heart rumbled like thunder.
At my ankles, a dark, shaggy hand was grasping at it, and near the water, a pair of eyes the size of an egg appeared, staring at me with a blinding red light......
