Chapter 3: The Ninth Master

In the north of Luoxian Town, there is a big ginkgo tree, there is an alley near the ginkgo tree, called Gongsun Lane, if there are people in Luoxian Town who everyone knows, then it must be the old man of Gongsun Lane, what is the name of the old man, no one knows, only know that no matter how old the people in the village are, they are called the old man Jiuye, how old the old man is, and no one knows, because the old man and the old man's generation have passed away, only the old man's body is still hard.

The old man lives alone, and the townspeople say that the old man's children and grandchildren are gone, but the old man is reluctant to go, saying that the fallen leaves return to the roots, and if he goes outside, the roots will be gone, and people will not be able to live, which is also what most people in the town think, because except for the old man's family, the town has never heard of anyone going out.

The old man is not short of money, and there are often outsiders who send money to the old man, saying that it is sent by the children and grandchildren outside the old man, but he has never seen anyone, and the old man does not care, every day he has nothing to do with a small teapot, sits under the ginkgo tree and sipps tea, smokes a pot of cigarettes.

Luoxian Town is very remote, and people who are so remote to the town that they have hardly ever left the town, in the town, if you fart in the east, you can smell it in the west. The town is small, which means that there is nothing new, whose mother-in-law has a mouth, and the whole town will know it in less than half a day, in this town, if you want to hear fresh stories, there is only the ninth master, who is old, and there are family members doing things outside, so the story of the old man has never been broken, no matter how old or young the townspeople, as long as they see the old man sitting under the old ginkgo, and the hand is fine, they will move a stone, and ask the old man to tell something new, of course, under normal circumstances, only the child can make the old man speak.

The town is too small and too poor, and the villagers are bartering a lot of the time, and the whole town doesn't even have a bookstore, so there are no scholars in the town to teach Mr. Ask, and there are few literate people in the town. The ninth master is literate, and there are rumors in the town that the ninth master used to be a scholar, which is very powerful. Jiu Ye does not open school, of course, even if it is opened, no one may be willing to spend money to let children learn, but Jiu Ye likes to teach children some words when telling stories, and the reason why the big bosses in the town have a few literate people is mostly due to Jiu Ye's credit, so when the children are fine, they pester Jiu Ye to listen to stories, and the adults let it go, which leads to most people in the town growing up listening to Jiu Ye's stories.

The story of the ninth master is bizarre, so many people think that the old man is a knowledgeable person, and he likes to ask the old man for help if there is any evil at home, and the old man generally doesn't care, unless he is in a good mood, he will give a few points, but it's not the rune water or anything in his story, most of them are common herbs in the village, and they can be found in the pharmacy in the town. Even if nothing special happened, the status of the Ninth Master in the hearts of the villagers has never fallen.

"In the distant legends, when the distant ones only exist in the stories of the old people, the demons are rampant in the world, in a village with only a hundred or so households, one day, the cattle in the village turned over, the earthquake trembled within a radius of 100 miles, the endless mountains were trembling, the earth was cracked, some hills were split in half, a black hole emerged from under the earth, in the black hole, there was a tiger with a single horn drilled out, good fellow, a mouth, a breath, a mountain was blown away." Today's weather is good, and the ninth master is telling stories under the old ginkgo again, and a group of children are sitting around.

"This monster who doesn't know what, just showed his head, after blowing away a mountain, his eyes looked down, and he happened to see the villagers who were so scared that they couldn't run, good guys, the big eyes were like two big fireballs, the red old was scary, the monster was so deep at that time, the wind was blowing, several people didn't pay attention, and they were sucked into their mouths at once, and the monster didn't chew it, and the whole person went into the stomach. Suck 。。。。。。 The ninth master said that he took a sharp breath at a four or five-year-old little fat man, and the little fat man, who was already afraid, sat on the ground at once, causing the ninth master to laugh. Then he took a sip of tea and continued to tell his story.

"It's strange to say, the monster sucks people, people are sucked in his stomach, but except for people, everything else is fine, the leaves haven't fallen a few, seeing, the people in the village are about to enter his stomach, a white light flashed, this villager, I saw an old Taoist dressed in linen, holding a long sword in his hand, the sword light flashed, and the mouth chanted a 'edict', and the monster was beaten to a big head。。。。。。"

Lu Yangsheng drank a stomach of cold water early in the morning, and went up the mountain with a small basket on his back, there are many wild goods in the mountains in autumn, and the wild fruits can fill the belly, and it is about to be winter, once the snow closes the mountain, there is no way to dig herbs for money, he can't hunt, he can only play a suit to fight luck, and the stream is frozen and there is no way to catch small fish, once the luck is bad, it will be all over, so now we must hurry up and dig some herbs back, in exchange for food and thick clothes for the winter, otherwise it will be difficult to survive this winter.

Lu Yangsheng had not yet opened the door, and he was absent-minded along the way, and when he saw a wild fruit, he stuffed it in his mouth, which was very sour, but Lu Yangsheng didn't feel it at all, and stuffed a stomach full of sour fruits.

Today's luck is good, not long after entering the deep mountains, Lu Yangsheng found a Ganoderma lucidum under an old tree, and when he first saw Ganoderma lucidum, Lu Yangsheng didn't expect that he would have such good luck. This road is the only way to go up the mountain, the other road into the mountain is the old mountain, since their parents had an accident, the people in the town have rarely gone to the old mountain, in addition to the poor who are forced to have no way to take the risk of trying their luck in the old mountain, the family but if it is not really uncovered pot, no one will go, the usual use of the town, generally come to the mountain by themselves, the income will be much less, but after the operation of the ancestors, there is almost no accident. But this old road that is often taken by people actually produced a Ganoderma lucidum, and it was picked by himself, which is simply not a shit luck can describe, the doubtful thoughts flashed away, but the speed in his hand was not slow, although it was just a fresh Zhizhi, it was still worth some money to go to the pharmacy.

Lu Yangsheng carefully wrapped the Ganoderma lucidum and put it in his arms, for fear of hurting the quality and breaking the price, and the money from selling the Ganoderma lucidum was enough for himself to spend half a winter.

Just when Lu Yangsheng put the Ganoderma lucidum away, a sharp pain suddenly hit his abdomen, Lu Yangsheng carefully squatted down, took out the Ganoderma lucidum he had just put and put it into the back basket, then covered his stomach and lay on the ground, clenched his fists hard, and did not dare to roll, his clothes would be dirty.

The severe pain came and went quickly, and when the pain rested, Lu Yangsheng relieved himself, and his whole body was wet, like a rain, this severe pain almost took away the strength of Lu Yangsheng's whole body, and it seems that he can't enter the mountain today, Lu Yangsheng glanced at Ganoderma lucidum, made up his mind, and began to go home step by step. Today's carelessness, this is a bad stomach, since I was sick when I was a child and my mother was hungry for a day, I have been very careful not to get sick, but I didn't expect to be careless today, I ate my stomach badly. His luck is not good, Lu Yangsheng has always known it.

By the time Lu Yangsheng finally got under the old ginkgo tree, it was almost noon, and he wanted to rest under the old ginkgo tree for a while, but he saw that the ninth master was telling a story, if it was before, Lu Yangsheng would definitely stay and listen to it for a while, not only for the story, but also for the words that the ninth master taught the children on the ground. Lu Yangsheng didn't dare to get close to the crowd, and he couldn't hear the story of the Ninth Master clearly, but the words taught by the Ninth Master, Lu Yangsheng never fell as long as he touched it, but not today, Lu Yangsheng glanced at the old ginkgo tree, and planned to go around it from a distance.

"Tiger with a single horn 。。。。。。" Vaguely hearing this, Lu Yangsheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had been pricked by something, slowly turned his head, and walked towards Gongsun Jiuye unconsciously. A voice told him that the story of the Ninth Master was useful to him.

In this world, there are really people who have nothing but to trust their ethereal intuition to help them.
