Chapter 2 Small Taoist Temple

With a heavy heart, Zhang Zichen left the gate of Hongcheng International Hotel, and Zhang Zichen had to rush to the bus station to catch a bus, because Zhang Zichen's last bus home was at 5:40.

Zhang Zichen is a rural child, but because of his excellent academic performance, he entered Hongcheng No. 1 Middle School in Hongcheng County to study in high school.

Zhang Zichen, who is now in his third year of high school, is already a big boy of about 1.75 meters, and his grades are already among the best in the school.

His family is in the countryside, but he is studying in the county seat, so Zhang Zichen can only go home once a week, and the rest of the time he stays at the school.

Today happens to be Friday, Saturday and Sunday are closed, Zhang Zichen walked from Hongcheng No. 1 Middle School to the station, there is only one block, this block, you have to pass by the best hotel in Hongcheng County, Hongcheng International Hotel.

Zhang Zichen didn't even expect that he would encounter this kind of thing when he was about to go home.

Hongcheng County, at the junction of Yutang Township and Liujiazhuang, there is a small Taoist temple, the plaque on the Taoist temple is written with four big characters of 'Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple', there are two big peach trees at the door of the Taoist temple, which are full of fruits.

The fist-sized peach looked like a baby's face, and it made you want to take a bite. Suddenly, a big hand picked a peach from a peach tree, didn't wash it, rubbed it a few times with his hand, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Zhang Zichen ate peaches with relish and strode into the small Taoist temple.

There is a light in the small Taoist temple, all the lights of various colors have been turned on, there is a courtyard in the Taoist temple first, and there is a triangular tripod in the courtyard, which is for people to burn incense.

However, looking at the incense ash in this big copper tripod, it seems that there are not many people who come to this Taoist temple, there is a large hall opposite the big copper tripod, and the statue of Zhang Tianshi is enshrined in the big hall.

The hall was also brightly lit, Zhang Zichen finished eating the peaches, threw the peach pits into a garbage bucket, and then walked into the hall and knelt in front of the statue of Zhang Tianshi.

"The patriarch is above, and the disciple Zhang Zichen is back. After Zhang Zichen said this, he bowed three times to the statue of Zhang Tianshi, then stood up and looked around.

"Master, Master......" Zhang Zichen shouted around.

"What's your name, is your master deaf?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a Taoist uniform walked out of the back hall. This middle-aged man is a little fat, slightly fat, and has a goatee, this is Zhang Zichen's master Zhang Shouqing.

Behind Zhang Shouqing, there is also a young man of about twenty, this young man can be described as skinny, his head is a little big, his height is only one meter six, he looks like a healthy young man, this young man is Zhang Zichen's senior brother Zhang Jianfeng.

"Master, why are you wearing Taoist clothes? It's night now, are you going out to collect ghosts?" Zhang Zichen asked as he untied the schoolbag on his back.

"Zichen, you came back just in time, you went to Liujiazhuang with me, and said that something strange happened over there, and you gave me a hand. Zhang Shouqing said while sorting out his uniform.

"I'm not going, let Senior Brother go!" Zhang Zichen was not interested in catching ghosts at all, he said impatiently, "I still have to do my homework." ”

"No, Jianfeng wants to take care of the house, and you have to go. Zhang Shouqing finished sorting out his clothes, then took a sack of sackcloth from Zhang Jianfeng's hand, hung it on his body, and said sternly, "If you want to go, you will go, so long-winded." Do you know where all the money we make goes? It's all for your tuition, you kid is embarrassed to say. ”

Zhang Zichen's face was full of helplessness, so he had to staggered out with his master Zhang Shouqing. Zhang Zichen is an orphan, according to the master and his old man, one night 17 years ago, I don't know which parents who lacked morality, put him at the door of the small Taoist temple at the age of two months, Zhang Shouqing couldn't bear it, so he adopted the baby and changed his name to Zhang Zichen.

With the sound of a motorcycle, Zhang Shouqing rode a motorcycle, carrying Zhang Zichen, and walked in the direction of Liujiazhuang on the left.

It's an old-fashioned construction motorcycle, it's been used for an unknown number of years, the sound of machinery is very loud, and there is a strong smell of gasoline.

"Master, when will you change to a motorcycle?" Zhang Zichen said in the back seat.

"How can I have money?" Zhang Shouqing opened his throat to prevent the mechanical voice from affecting him, "My money has been spent on you kid, wait for you to come out of school, find a good job, and make a lot of money to support us." At that time, let alone changing motorcycles, even if you buy a Mercedes-Benz BMW, that's not a sentence?"

Zhang Zichen hung his head and said, "Master, stop, no one can say what will happen in the future!"

Zhang Shouqing said with a smile: "Zichen, although I don't know your birthday, but I look at your face, you are a rich and noble person, and in the future, Master, I and your senior brother will all rely on you to live." ”

Zhang Zichen pursed his mouth: "Emotional Master, you see that my face is a rich and noble person, so you adopted me?"

Zhang Shouqing was very kind at this time: "You three senior brothers, no matter who they are, are the lifeblood of the teacher, I don't care if you are rich or not, I just want the three of you to be safe!"

After hearing this, Zhang Zichen's heart warmed: "By the way, Master, when I came back from the county seat today, I passed by the entrance of Hongcheng International Hotel, where I saw a girl wearing red clothes and jumping off the building to commit suicide, and the death was very terrifying. ”

"Powerful ghost asking for life!?" Zhang Shouqing just heard this, and immediately came to the conclusion of these four words.

"Yes, Master, that girl was very miserable, I heard that she was raped and wanted to take revenge, so she committed suicide in red. Zhang Zichen replied.

"Hey!" Zhang Shouqing sighed, "These things are none of our business. ”

"But Master, aren't we Taoist priests? As Taoist priests, we should take the world as our own responsibility and save the people from fire and water......" Before Zhang Zichen finished speaking, the master turned his head and knocked on the head.

"What are you talking about? What age is it now?" Zhang Shouqing said, "There are some things that should be done, we must help, but this matter involves ghosts." Nobody will believe it, and we're going to get ourselves into the trumpet. (The number is the cell)

"In this world now, although morality is there, but the law is supreme, we Taoist priests are sometimes very helpless!" Zhang Shouqing sighed, "This girl in red, I hope she can reflect on herself." It seems that there will be another big case in Hongcheng County. ”

These, Zhang Zichen can understand the truth better than anyone else, if they appear at the door of Hongcheng International Hotel for no reason, claiming to catch ghosts, don't say that the ghosts have not been caught, but will be mistaken for neuropathy by others. And if the ghost appears and dies, the qiē at that time cannot be explained by science, and the crime will fall on their own heads.

Thinking about it, the motorcycle had already carried Zhang Zichen into Liujiazhuang. xh118
