When the commotion was over, everyone old and young sat down.

"Xiao Wu, who is this?"

Xiao Tie looked at the old man, although he had noticed the old man a long time ago, but at first, he didn't ask, but since Xiao Wu brought it, there must be a reason.

Xiao Wu didn't dare to hide it, and immediately revealed the identity of the old man, in great detail, including his clearance of the six levels.

After listening, Xiao Tie nodded: "I see, since this matter is set by me, then naturally I will not break my word and get fat, Xiao Wu, you let your mother go there, I will also see what kind of person dares to do such a hurtful thing." ”

"I've arranged it. Xiao Wu nodded.

"That's fine, it's really not good, pay close attention to the development of things, and if you encounter any problems, notify me immediately. Xiao Tie did not relax about this matter, although it stands to reason that with the ability to lack a building in the month, it is very simple to do such a thing, but no one knows if there will be any accidents, after all, it involves the association.

"Hmm. Xiao Wu nodded.

Xiao Tie looked at the old man again, and saw that the old man was grateful at this time, but there was a touch of death in his eyes, and Xiao Tie fell silent.

Xiao Wu's purpose for bringing the old man, how could he not guess?

But this matter, he is really not easy to handle.

An old man who is bent on dying is already dead, and I am afraid that if it weren't for the fact that he still wants to see the enemy give the head, he would have been dead a long time ago.

And now that the 'Yin Soldier Borrowing Dao' has not yet been born, he can't use this ability if he wants to.

Getting up, Xiao Tie returned to the bamboo house, came out after a while, and looked at the old man: "Although you didn't pass the assessment and became my disciple, after all, it can be regarded as a fate with me. ”

The old man was going to excuse himself from the beginning.

After all, he is a dying person, what is the use of things outside his body?

However, as soon as the words arrived, they were stopped by Xiao Tie.

When he thought of his purpose this time, he had already found out that Miss Moon Dance's master was definitely not a simple person, of course, in fact, he had already noticed this when he saw the old man at that time.

Faced with such a hermit master, he couldn't refuse after all.

"Thank you, seniors. The old man smiled wryly and bowed, and took the gift.

"Hehe, seniors don't dare to be, since that's the case, then you can also stay for the time being, presumably there will be news in the near future. Xiao Tie shook his head and smiled.

The old man didn't say much, and stayed in the guest room of the bamboo house that day, but fortunately, the bamboo house itself, because of the maid, there were a few more, but there was no need to worry about not being able to live.

It was night, and after a meal that was very hearty for others, but for the old man, it was like chewing wax, the old man went back to his room alone.

He couldn't help but think of his family again.

His family is already thin, in addition to his wife, there are only two sons, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson, and there are only some subordinates.

However, now all these relatives are no longer alive, and heaven and man are separated forever......

Vaguely, the voices and smiles of the relatives still appeared in front of him, but in the end, they were all replaced by the scene of the final tragic death, his eyes were a little red, and he muttered: "It's soon, it's fast, Xiyan, Qiang'er, Xiaojuan, Long'er, and my baby grandson who has just turned old, I am incompetent to your old man, although I can't report it in person, but Senior Xiao has agreed, and none of those guys can run away......"

It was easier for him to come back to his senses, and he lay on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

At the thought that the enemy was about to be beheaded, he couldn't sleep at all, so he simply got up and looked at the darkness outside the window in a daze.

After half a ring, he pulled out something.

This is exactly what Xiao Tie gave him during the day, it is a book.

"The Legend of the Underworld?"

The old man hesitated a little, Difu, what is this?

Could it be the name or title of some senior?

This is not to blame him, after all, although the book "The Legend of Difu" has long been popularized, it only appears imperceptibly among ordinary people.

And a character like him didn't pay attention to these at all at first, and then he didn't care about it, so he didn't know about this information all the time.

When he opened it, he saw that it seemed to have a legend recorded.

He couldn't sleep, but he quickly immersed himself in the story......

Ten minutes later, the general plot of the story appeared, and the old man's eyes narrowed, a little surprised.

At the beginning of the story, it was actually just about an ordinary scholar's family, so at first, he didn't find anything unusual, even if it mentioned words like 'ghosts' several times, he didn't care, but was confused by this word, because there is no such word in this world.

However, when the scholar in the story entered a ruined temple to hide from the rain at night on the way to Beijing, he finally discovered the core of the story......

Rustle ~ rustle ~

The pages of the book were turned page by page, and the old man's heart became more and more shocked!

Ghosts, in this world, there are ghosts?

After a person dies, he does not really disappear, but is taken to the underworld by the Yin soldiers......

Everything was unbelievable to the old man!

But at the same time, it was incredulous, and at the same time, it made him yearn for a little, if all this was true, then ......

He continued to read, as if there was some fatal temptation in the book, and he couldn't help himself!

The scholar met a ghost, and in order to help the ghost reincarnate, he went through a lot of strange things, and finally got his wish and sent the ghost into reincarnation.

After that, the scholar continued to rush to Beijing to catch the exam.

Along the way, the scholar also encountered a lot of things, and even later encountered countless strange things in Kyoto, one story after another, all involving ghosts, occasionally mentioning the underworld, touching on some others, all of which are also related to ghosts.

For example, after death, people also need to live, so the living need to worship them, burn paper money and some items.

For example, every year on July 15th, it is for Halloween and so on......

The next day, the old man was very energetic and had breakfast with everyone.

After breakfast, while Xiao Tie was drinking morning tea, the old man found Xiao Tie and stopped talking.

"Do you want to ask me about that book?" Xiao Tie looked at the old man and asked funny.

"Uh, yes, yes. The old man nodded again and again, "I just want to ask, after people die, do they really turn into ghosts? Also, does the underworld really exist? By the way, what are the customs recorded in the book, Halloween, incense wax paper money, and so on?"

Xiao Tie is helpless, you ask so many questions at once, how can I answer?

However, after thinking about it for a while, Xiao Tie still said: "I don't know if there is a dungeon or not, but I do know one thing, that is, souls, human beings do have after death." ”

He looked at the old man and guided with a smile, "Surely you yourself, as a martial artist, you should have faintly understood, the spirit of the martial artist is actually a basis for the existence of the soul, many martial artists will occasionally have out-of-body situations when they practice, you should have heard of this, right? So, why is there no ghost after death?"

After speaking, Xiao Tie said: "As for Halloween, you can think of it as a day when the underworld gives ghosts a holiday, on this day, ghosts will return to the present world through the ghost gate and meet their relatives, of course, because ghosts and humans are invisible, so they return, and only they look at you, but you can't see them." ”

"Hmm~ It's incense wax paper money, you wait a while, I'll show you the real thing, I guess you also want to worship......"

The old man still didn't understand, or rather, even Xiao Tie himself didn't really explain it to him.

It's not that Xiao Tie doesn't know about this, after all, his memory has been strengthened, and he has an impression of these in his previous life, if he really wants to say it, he can make up a whole story to tell the old man.

It's just that at this time, the 'Yin Soldier Borrowing Dao' has not yet been born, and no matter how much he explains, it has no practical meaning, it is better to be ambiguous and let him think about it by himself, but it has a miraculous effect.

After that, under the guidance of Xiao Tie, the old man made a worship.

During the worship, the old man cried so much that Xiao Tie couldn't bear to look at it directly, but Xiao Tie found that after the worship, the old man's condition had obviously improved a lot.

Of course, if this is the case, Xiao Tie doesn't think that the old man will not seek death, after all, the pain of eternal separation between heaven and man is not so easy to come out, especially the situation where a family is slaughtered, it is an extremely huge blow to the old man.

However, with the upturn, it is enough.

After going back, Xiao Tie found Xiao Wu and asked her to find the old man and tell Xiao Wu everything she was going to say.

After Xiao Wu heard this, she couldn't bear it: "Master, this ......"

Xiao Tie smiled: "Don't worry, after all, this is the only way to save him." ”

Thinking of the old man's situation, Xiao Wu didn't say more, she knew that what the master said was right, and now there is really only one way to save the old man.

So, she went straight to the old man.

After a while, when the old man appeared again, he had completely changed, with a solemn and complicated expression, and a firm look: "Senior Xiao, please rest assured, although the old man and I have no long things, but this body itself, there are still some, since you need it, then the old man I will naturally not hide it, as long as you avenge the old man and my family, then what does it matter if the old man and I serve you in the jade carving building in this life?"

Seeing this, Xiao Tie smiled and didn't say much, just nodded.

Not a day.

The lack of a building brought news.

"As expected. After listening to the report, Xiao Tie smiled indifferently.

In fact, just as he thought, the vice president of the association was not so easy to deal with, and when he was able to get the president to come forward to drive the old man out, then there was naturally a relationship between the two, and the president and vice president of an association were together, and the result could be imagined.

Although Yue Quelou is a killer organization, but after all, it is a special, open-faced organization, in this case, the president insists on blessing, they are not easy to shoot at all, once they do, it will offend the entire carver association, and even other associations with the same spirit will also intervene.

However, this is nothing to Xiao Tie.

"It just so happens that before I leave, I also want to go out for a walk, so I'll settle it all together. ”

Xiao Tie thought.

He is about to leave, back to the millennium, these ten years, he has been in seclusion, and it is time to go out.

Ten years of seclusion, that's because he doesn't want to influence the world too much, so as not to cause too much trouble for himself.

But before leaving, he really needs to personally confirm the layout of the past ten years and make up for the shortcomings, so that he can go back with peace of mind.

Now, if you stop by the road, there is nothing.

A few days later, Xiao Tie, who had already made a decision, found the old man and gave him the chessboard and chess pieces that he had been thinking about for a long time.

At the same time, he chatted with the old man alone for a long time, and left some things, and finally left under the old man's dumbfounded expression.

"How is this possible......"

The old man was still in shock until he saw Xiao Tie disappear from view, but soon, he sighed and said to himself: "That's right, only this kind of existence can make the old man unable to see through!~ However, a thousand years of retreat, this is too unbelievable, a retreat is a thousand years, what kind of realm should this be?"

In his own words, he looked at the things in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "You have a good calculation, or not, this is indeed a real benefit after all, since you gave this thing to the old man to help the old man break through, then the old man will escort the little girl for a thousand years, what's the matter? What's more, even if you don't say it, if something happens to the girl, the old man will definitely not let it go......

On the same day, Xiao Tie took Xiao Wu and them to leave the bamboo house where they had lived for ten years.

In a few days, the old man Yao carried a large chessboard on his back, and in addition, he did not take any grass and trees with him, and he also left this place.

"Do the math, it's also hundreds of years, right? How many people still remember the name of the old man? I don't know what the situation is now with the old man's disciples and grandchildren, tsk, maybe in the eyes of these little rabbit cubs, the old man is already a dead man, right?"

Walking far away, the old man looked back at the hill where he had lived for hundreds of years, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After all, when he left, he was already planning to die outside, but he didn't expect that he would make another small breakthrough after that, thus extending his longevity for hundreds of years, but even so, before yesterday, he didn't have any intention of going back.

Now, though, he had to think about it more.

Whether it is Xiao Tie's entrustment or his own current situation.

In order to better protect the little girl and provide an environment where he can break through with peace of mind, he must go back!

His personal strength alone is still too weak after all!
