The window had burned to the point that only a window frame remained, and by the moonlight I could clearly see a white prickly face, looking at me with an embarrassed smile: "Yes, it's me." ”

"Master Li?"

My heart was a little empty, and at that moment I really thought it was my grandma back.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overhear you talking to yourself, I just didn't fall asleep, I just saw you come out, and I was a little curious, so this is ......"

"No explanation." I got up directly, wiped the tears from my face, came out of the same way with my waist bent, and glanced at the Master Li: "What do you want to do with me." ”

Master Li scratched his head: "I just want to know if you have real skills." ”

"What does it matter to you whether I have real skills or not?"

I replied lightly and sat down on the stone steps in front of the door.

"Of course it matters, I haven't seen anyone with real skills!" Master Li's anxiety also gave vent to himself.

I smiled slightly: "Didn't you worship Lord Yama yourself, why haven't you seen it yet?" ”

Master Li lowered his eyes a little embarrassed: "This, don't I say it first, didn't I break ground on Tai Sui's head, let you laugh, in fact, I don't accept anyone, but you are the granddaughter of Ma Banxian'er, I really believe in you, I used to think that you were about the same age as me, in fact, I thought that you were the same as me......"

I didn't answer, he himself admitted that he was a little liar and asked me to say something.

"Hey, can you tell me a fate, just show me casually, as long as you are right, I will definitely obey you in the future!"

"It's not a casual look, and life is getting thinner and thinner, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not." I said, looking at him, "I can't make people believe that I'm an onmyoji, I have to look like people all over the street, right?" ”

"Count me begging you, you just let me open my eyes, just say a word, I finally met a real person, you have to let me see it."

This is not over, I sighed softly, reached out and pinched his shoulder, and Master Li's body immediately stiffened: "What does this mean?" ”

On the contrary, I felt pity in my heart, and I didn't think that this was also a miserable person: "Are you an orphan? ”

Master Li looked at me with eyes and was stunned, I frowned, just when I thought I had touched the wrong one, Master Li jumped up and knelt directly in front of me: "Master, take me as an apprentice!" ”

This posture shocked me: "What is the situation of you, what am I doing to take you as an apprentice." ”

"Just pinch my shoulder and you'll know, I'm really an orphan! I threw it away when my parents gave birth, and I was picked up by my current parents, and no one in my village knew about it! I believe it, I absolutely believe it, you can accept me as an apprentice! ”

I smiled a little helplessly: "I don't accept apprentices, besides, I am an immortal, how can anyone accept apprentices, and I don't know what to teach you." ”

"But I see that you have an apprentice, take me another one."

"Zongbao is my second god, not my apprentice."

"Two great gods?" Master Li was disappointed after hearing this, and sat down beside me silently: "I thought I could learn the real skills now." “

"If you want to learn, you can learn the Tao and the like." Saying that, I looked at him with some puzzlement: "However, you really don't understand at all, so how did you give people a good look before." ”

If he hadn't looked at any of them, he wouldn't have been invited over by Xu Gang.

"I don't know, anyway, I just called people in the yard, and then I called a few, the first time the children in the family cried at night, and I called them like that, and I called them like this in the future."

I nodded, it was really right, no matter how good it was, "Then why are you doing this, you like this?" ”

Master Li looked at me with a serious face at this time: "I think this business will make money quickly." ”

"Poof!" That's really the most straightforward reason I've ever heard: "You're doing this for the money?" ”

Master Li rolled his eyes and thought, "No, I feel respected, otherwise I don't know what I can do." ”

I nodded, feeling a little cold, tightened my clothes, and then looked at him and remembered what I was most curious about: "Hey, where did you come to those words, which are the words that are half-spoken and half-sung when you call people souls." ”

Master Li smiled: "I made it up myself, I am self-taught, if there is a funeral in anyone's family, I will go to join in the fun, see how the people invited by others preside, over time I will understand a little, in fact, I don't know at all, I will also have some, I know the procedures of white things." ”

I chatted with him like this, and my mood was much more relaxed: "Then what if no one is looking for you to see something, what will you do, just go to work in the field?" ”

"No, I'll do anything else!"

Master Li said, he got up and stood in front of me again, opened his mouth and sang: "One is a stick of incense, the cigarette rises to nine days, the gate is hung with shredded paper, the second door is hung with white flags, Daddy returns to heaven, I kneel on the ground, crying and sending Daddy to the West Heaven, the road below is not easy to walk, Daddy must remember to take the big road, there are so many evil ghosts on the trail, step by step to rob your money, oh yes, you look up along the road, the front is Wangxiang Pass~~ Daddy looks back and you look at your homeland, and you go to the next level after looking at your homeland, Daddy, you can walk forward with confidence, I will cry and send you to the west sky~"

I finally understand where he came from as a self-taught talent, and his profession is to give people crying! It's really a two-person turn, and I got goosebumps all over my body when I sang this, and stretched out my hand to interrupt him: "Okay, stop singing, don't scare people in the middle of the night!" ”

Master Li pursed his lips and smiled with a face full of embarrassment: "You take me out to see the world, don't worry, I will definitely not cause you trouble, I just want you to know that I can help you, if you go to preside over white affairs or something, I can still help you sing and cry!" ”

"I really don't."

I threw down my pants and got up to look at him: "I rarely preside over white things for people, Master Li, if you really want to learn this, you go to worship a Taoist priest as a teacher, don't lie to people in the future, call people souls, these are all important things that matter to human life, you can't always be so lucky, go back, rest early, and go to the grave tomorrow." ”

"Jiaolong!"

Master Li's eyes turned red when he looked at me, and he knelt down directly: "You just take me, I have seen Taoist priests who show people things, and I have worshiped them as teachers, but they are all fake, I knew it was a lie, I ran out, I was really afraid that I would be deceived by others again, I didn't believe anyone all these years, you are the first person I believe!" I was also the first to know that I was an orphan, my adoptive parents raised me and didn't care about me, I was left with myself, I didn't want to toss around by myself, and I had a hot meal with you! ”

I turned around and walked two steps in front of him: "You get up, the man has gold under his knees, go to heaven and kneel to his parents, what do you kneel to me!" ”

Master Li stubbornly said: "I won't get up, if you don't promise me, I won't get up, I don't want to continue like this for a long time, I just want to follow you!" ”

I frowned: "It's really useless for you to follow me, otherwise I'll introduce you to a master, a real master, Maoshan Taoist, if you want to learn from him, it will definitely be more useful than following me." ”

To be honest, I'm a little soft-hearted, but I think it's enough to have a Zongbao by my side, and more people will spend more than I can, and I really don't need it when I don't have money.

"If I don't go, I will see your ability, and I want to follow you, you are still the granddaughter of Ma Banxian'er that I know, it's not bad."

I was really helpless: "It's really useless for you to follow...... Oops my god. I looked at him, but I felt that he was a little like Xiao Ke, and he should meet Cheng Bai Ze's mind, "That's it, I have a very good friend, and he is also very powerful, let me help you ask him, if he thinks that he doesn't have enough manpower around him now, how about you go and help, I already have a second god, I really don't need anyone to follow me anymore, if you still don't agree, then you can kneel here by yourself, I can't help it." ”

Master Li may have seen that my attitude was quite resolute, and he pondered there for a while, and then raised his eyes to look at me: "That friend of yours really has real skills?" ”

"I know people who have real skills, if you want to learn the Tao, I can introduce you to Master Huang, but my friend has a lot of miscellaneous learning, and he knows a lot of things, but I can only introduce you to him to help, I don't know if he accepts apprentices."

Master Li smiled, "He can do as much as he can, anyway, I just want to follow someone who has the ability, if he doesn't want to accept me now, then I'll wait, one day he will see my sincerity and want to accept me." ”

I nodded, "Alright then, you can stand up." ”

Master Li nodded, stood up from the ground, and looked at me with embarrassment: "Jiaolong, then we can be considered friends now." ”

I snorted, "But can I ask you something?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's just that your name can be changed, isn't it called Master Li, it's called Li Xiaoshi."

"Done!"

Now he is not the same as when he first met, and he was so happy: "I will be called Li Xiaoshi in the future!" Jiaolong, I really thank you, if I can really see the real skills in your friend, whether he accepts me as an apprentice or not, I will thank you for the rest of my life, I really don't want to try my luck in a person so everywhere, to be able to settle down is really something I dream of. ”

"It's serious, I'm just doing it with my hands, but you have to be mentally prepared, the onmyoji must go south and north, this can't be avoided."

"I know this, what I mean is that I don't want to be like this alone, you know, I'm empty, in fact, I look at things for people to look at, this time I took over the work of the Xu family, I also counted his daughter-in-law hospitalized and took medicine for a period of time, this medicine is strong, some of them have to wait for a while to come up, so I total, I'll sing for three days, the medicine strength is good to come up, if it's not good, I'll be in my own circle, in fact, this heart has been hanging up, when I see you for the first time, My first feeling in my heart was that this kid must be just like me, but I didn't think about it, I still ......."

I can't help but admit it, this Master Li, no, the renamed Li Xiaoshi is really quite able to speak, I know that he is anxious to let me know him, but in fact, he doesn't need to say much, I have it in my heart.

It's not the first time I've touched my bones, I can find out that he's an orphan, and naturally I know what kind of person he is, how to say it, he should have a lot of small problems, because I pinched out that he has lazy bones, such a person shows that he likes to take shortcuts, has a little cleverness, and has some good intentions, but there is nothing bad about it, he himself understands that when Mr. Yin and Yang, in order to eat, this is the reason why most Mr. Yin and Yang entered the industry, after all, survival is the first thing, first fill your stomach, before you can take care of others.

And the most important thing I helped him was his honesty in the later years, and the orphan.

Of course, I was good at advocating and helped Cheng Baize find a helper, I really didn't know the bottom at first, and even brewed a good word If Cheng Baize doesn't agree, how should I tell Li Xiaoshi, but fortunately, Cheng Baize agreed, saying that his studio was short of people, and he was worried about where to find someone, so I sent someone to him, and it was too late for him to thank him, I knew in my heart that this was Cheng Baize selling my face, he has always been a very caring friend, and it will not make me feel a little cramped and embarrassed, except for thank you, I really don't know what else to say.

"Thank you, I'm going to thank you, you helped find it for me, by the way, how many days have it been, didn't you just take grandpa back to his hometown to go to the grave, why haven't you come back."

I looked out the window and sighed softly: "My former neighbor encountered a little thing, and it was not a big deal, that is, the corpse was eaten by mistake as a coffin fungus, I stayed and planned to deal with it and leave, who knew that it would rain all of a sudden, and it was going to rain in winter, and it was raining for several days, it was cold, but the rain stopped tonight, and it should be solved at noon tomorrow, and I should be able to go back." ”

"Oh, but I always feel like something is wrong."

"What's wrong, it's not raining, right, I also think it's not right to rain this day, it's normal when it snows."

"Then you don't have a divination to see?"

“…… No, it shouldn't be fine, don't worry. ”

I am divination, and I have always shown the great murderer, which I really can't understand, because I can't see myself, this proper hard injury.

"That's it, I'll show you here, it's really not good, I'll go to you, is there something wrong with your judgment of the corpse."

"Impossible, it's not that difficult, you still think I don't understand anything, I've seen coffin fungus, I know the corpse, I can be sure, don't worry, it's really fine...... My neighbor's uncle called me, I'll go to that house first, and then I'll directly tell you the address of your studio, Li Xiaoshi, and ask him to find you. ”

"Why don't you send it to me directly, can people find it!"

"Haha, okay, I'll send someone to you then, I've been talking to him a lot about you in the past two days, and he wants to worship you as a teacher, okay, let's talk when we meet, Uncle Xu called me."

"O Jiaolong, Jiaolong!!"

"Hey!" Hanging up the phone, I answered and raised my foot and ran towards Xu Gang's bright red room, "Uncle Xu, what's wrong." ”

Xu Gang saw my face full of joy and excitement: "It's okay, I'm just letting you see, your Aunt Yanhong's skin has returned to its true color!" ”

I hummed, pulled the corners of my mouth and looked at Yanhong again, her skin is indeed back to normal, she woke up the night Xu Linlin left, the black face with white eyes is quite scary, but she can't speak, she will drink if you feed her water, and she will eat when she feeds her, but Xu Gang is already very happy, at least he can eat and drink, and then gradually, the black skin slowly faded, yesterday it was still silver-gray, it looked like the one who smeared mercury all over the body, but now it is completely normal, but people are still sluggish, After a few days of recovery, I can vomit simple characters.,Hungry.,Thirst and the like.,I still can't say anything else.,But it's very obedient.,It's different from Fengxia's madness.,This,I think it can still make everyone breathe a sigh of relief.。

In fact, if it weren't for this sudden rain without warning, I wouldn't have been able to see the process of change of Aunt Yanhong, this rain was too incredible, that night, as soon as I came back with Li Xiaoshi, the rain would have fallen, and I couldn't go to the grave when it rained, I was in a hurry and could only wait, but this rain was considered to have fulfilled Li Xiaoshi, he happened to use the past few days to get acquainted with my grandfather and Zongbao, he really liked to say, I can always follow my grandfather to have a ride or not, and the two of them don't know what each other is talking about for an afternoon, and he also likes to talk to Zong Bao, but Zong Bao is not as popular as my grandfather, and often the two of them are cold when they chat.

At first, he asked me secretly, if Zong Bao had any opinions about him, of course I couldn't tell him that Zong Bao is the kind of person who is very deep in the comic attribute, and only when he is familiar to a certain level can he dig out his language ability, but then Li Xiaoshi himself figured out Zong Bao's character characteristics, and knew that Zong Bao was not a person who liked to talk, so he immediately had an extra skill, that is, talking to himself, I often see a scene when the rain is falling, Zong Bao was expressionless, and even looked at Li Xiaoshi, who was patting his thighs and laughing, and was eager to roll on the ground, and only after a while did he spit out two words: "Boring." ”

When Li Xiaoshi heard it, he was extremely excited: "Oh, two words, Zongbao, you tell me two words!" ”

If it was usual, I would think that it would be good to see the excitement if I had nothing to do, but now I really don't have that mood, I don't know why, my heart is particularly scorched, the more anxious I go back, the more the rain seems to be fighting with me, and it doesn't stop because I can't contact Zhuo Jing, so I can only call my brother-in-law, but he told me that Zhuo Jing is still sick, so I don't think this matter is as simple as I thought before, what disease can be sick for so long and it's not good!

"Jiaolong, this rain has stopped, and you will be able to go up the mountain tomorrow, right?"

I nodded: "Well, uncle, you call tonight to make an appointment with everyone, and we will set off as soon as the people who help lift the grave arrive at eleven o'clock." ”

Without waiting for Xu Gang to respond, Aunt Yanhong, who was eating when she sat up, suddenly grinned and smirked: "Mountain, mountain, mountain......"

"Yanhong, come and drink some water, the mountains have nothing to do with you, you drink water."

Aunt Yan Hong turned on the repetition mode again: "Water, water, water......"

This scene makes people really helpless, no matter what happened before the bright red, but it always makes people feel unbearable to make it look like this, I don't want to say anything, and then I turned around and went outside to look for the grandfather who went out for a walk with Zong Bao and Xiaoshi as soon as the rain stopped.

Early the next morning, people came over one after another, I checked, counting Zongbao and Xiaoshi plus Xu Gang a total of eight men, the number is enough, I simply said two words, which means that everyone is psychologically prepared, not too scary, and don't have any burden or the like, Xu Gang brought one of his younger sisters to take care of the family's Yanhong and my grandfather, the time is almost up, I took them and set off quickly, I am really in a hurry to go back!

Although my uncle still said that I should wait, I felt that I couldn't wait, no matter what, I had to go by myself, at least I had to see Zhuojing's situation with my own eyes, otherwise I couldn't let go of it.

"Jiaolong, it's really okay for the big girl to have her milk, she won't pop out or something."

Most of the young people Xu Gang found knew me, and they were also bullied by me when I was a child, so I inquired about it while talking about the old days along the way, because although my mental construction was completed, everyone had never heard of corpse exhaustion, and I felt more or less nervous.

"Don't worry, it's nothing, if you bite someone, I won't let you come." I responded lightly, and smiled at the corner of my mouth, trying to give them a feeling that this matter is too small to be small, no matter what, I have to let them get it out for me first, otherwise who can lift it if there are few people!

Thinking about it, I walked to the grave of Grandma Xiaohu, I glanced at the time, waited until twelve o'clock at noon, and then said: "Dig." ”

Xu Gang was a little old, and he felt a little overdrawn when he climbed up, and the strength of the spade was a little slower, but before the two spades went down, the corpse was exhausted and two large pieces were dug out, and the other young men also opened their mouths one after another: "Jiaolong!" This thing is corpse exhaustion! ”

"Oh, that's so much!!"

"What a deal! One floor!! ”

"Oh my God, there's no dirt left, it's all this thing, Jiaolong, how do you dig it!"

I was expressionless and said quietly, "Go on." ”

The more you dig down, the more corpses are exhausted, and after this thing arches out of the coffin board, it will become hard, dark red, and the size is not round and grows up layer by layer on the coffin board, you can't think too much, just simply think of it as a corpse, if you think about the tumor on the human body, the layer by layer, the dense phobia will go crazy.

When digging to the bottom, the corpses are all big, the biggest ones are like basketballs, you can't dig them out, you can only use the tip of the shovel to get rid of them, and you will find that the coffin board has been completely rotten, and the bottom of the corpse is directly stained with a piece of rotten coffin board and fell aside, normally it should be a big hole in the coffin, and people should be able to see the bones inside, but now not only can you not see the bones, but it is still a dark red bulging piece, It was as if it was about to overflow with the falling coffin board every minute, giving people the feeling that the coffin must be full now.
