Chapter Fifty-Seven: One Body and Two Masters
In the end, Zhou Yin left his sister's courtyard with his eyes moistened.
At the door, a pair of intimate sisters and brothers said goodbye, Zhou Yin suddenly plucked up his courage and said, "Sister, I feel that Lu Guan is much stronger than that Chen Yin, if I choose one of them to be my brother-in-law, I will definitely choose Lu Guan." ”
Zhou Caijia raised her eyebrows slightly, her voice suddenly raised, and she pretended to scold, "Zhou Yin, my affairs have their own measure, and it is not your turn to point fingers." ”
"Got it, sister", the young man drooped his head, his eyes were moist, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I won't be by your side in the future, you have to take care of yourself." ”
Zhou Caijia still couldn't bear it after all, and stepped forward to gently wipe away Zhou Yin's tears, "It's all adults, why are you still crying." You do the same, go far after that, and be careful. ”
Seeing Zhou Yin leave, Zhou Caijia returned to her small courtyard, covered the door, her back tightly pressed against the heavy door, and her smile was like a flower, but unconsciously, two lines of tears slowly fell from her eye sockets.
Just like after the chance encounter on Chang'an Avenue that day, the two people who no longer had any entanglements were refreshing and unconcerned.
The girl's mind suddenly appeared in the figure of a green shirt that seemed to be forever calm and calm, waving to herself.
For some reason, there was a sudden heart-rending cramping pain in her heart, as if something she had cherished had been lost by herself.
The pearl still doesn't remember, and it has no intention to look back at the spring breeze.

To the east of the town, not far from Jincui Street, where Cuiyifang is located, there is an unknown deep alley, where it is rumored that a bizarre and strange incident has occurred.
Since then, the families who lived in it have moved out, and now only a few poor families are left alone.
In the deepest part of the alley, there lived an old man with a strange temper, who set up a stall selling sugar gourds on Qianmen Street in his early years, but later a fire broke out in his house, blinding his eyes.
In addition, he is old and has difficulty moving, so he simply stopped doing the business of selling sugar gourds, and relied on the savings accumulated in his early years to spend his old age in peace.
Chengping Lane is the original name of this dark alley, but now in Chonglou Town, not many people know this historic title.
Because of its quiet and deep characteristics, people have given it the nickname "Ghost Alley".
The old man pushed open the door, silently walked to the door, groped and sat down, looking melancholy.
————
At the mouth of the alley, there is a dry well that has long since dried up, and it is rumored that this well will tremble in the dead of night and the full moon night, and the sound is so amazing that even the whole town can feel it.
The woman often frightened her child who was not at ease at night, and if she cried again, she would throw him into the demon well on the other side of the ghost alley, and the child would immediately stop crying and go to sleep.
At this moment, there was a young Taoist priest standing next to the dry well, looking into the well with deep eyes, as if there was something great hidden in it.
In fact, it is also the case, there are hidden demons and monsters accumulated here for tens of thousands of years in the Miracle Cave, monks' demons, fierce ghosts, and bloodthirsty demons...... The whole nine yards.
In an extremely long era, it can be traced back to the time when the Lu family was forced into the palace and still maintained absolute dominance over the Miracle Cave Heaven.
This deep alley, now known as "Ghost Alley", whose real name is Chengping Lane, once lived in Zhou Gu, Wei Song and other top families in the town.
They were ordered by the Lu family of the lord to guard this place all the year round, and they would send people into it every once in a while to regularly kill demons and eliminate demons, and after the decline of the Lu family, this well was banned.
As for the people of the town, the vibration in the well that can be felt occasionally is the sound of those demons slamming against the wall of the well on the night of the full moon.
Just when Zhong Wangwu looked at it with a worried mind, he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder, "What's the matter, the old man didn't lie to you." ”
The down-and-out Taoist priest turned around, his tone helpless, "Senior, don't bring such a scary." ”
If he hadn't been able to beat the other party, he would have fallen with a Dao split.
The person who came was Xu Jiuyuan, who lived freely, and he smiled, "Young people don't see the mountains, you can try to split a Dao method first." ”
Zhong Wang's scalp was numb, and the old-timers were really powerful, and they could even hear the hearts and words of others.
"How so, it's just a coincidence."
Xu Jiuyuan said with a smile.
The down-and-out Taoist priest had already given up resistance, and he grimaced, "Senior, don't play like this." ”
"Okay, okay, it's just a harmless little joke with you, a young man looks worried about seeing through the red dust all day long, which makes people upset."
The old man looked at the Taoist priest gritting his teeth and looking helpless, "This look is very cute." ”
"You take a closer look, are you sure that you can refine the ghosts in it, so that the pair of Yin and Yang Gods that you cultivated in advance will have a higher rank."
Zhong Wangwu's face was embarrassed, "I naturally don't lack confidence, but my small body can't deal with those big demons and heavenly demons except for ghosts." ”
Xu Jiuyuan smiled heartily, "You have a stingy temperament, you are really similar to your old immortal master, obviously a young man with a free personality, why pretend to be sad every day." ”
Zhong Wangwu was silent, obviously there were some things that could not be said, and the atmosphere by the well was a little dull for a while.
After a long time, the young Taoist priest was puzzled, "Senior, do you still know my master and his old man?" ”
The ninth master's eyes lowered, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, remembering some old memories.
The old man and Zhong Wang's master, the oldest in Taipingguan's seniority and age, were once friends of Mo Rebellion, and the two of them once traveled through the world with several other like-minded Taoist friends.
It's just that time has passed, each has a home, some people have fallen into the fall, and those who survive in the world have also shouldered their own responsibilities, even if they are close old friends in the past, the contact with each other has inevitably become much less.
Xu Jiuyuan, as an old Jianghu who has lived for a long time, naturally will not ask the bottom of a junior's secrets, he said solemnly, "You don't need to worry about this matter, naturally someone will help you solve it, and then you only need to refine those ghost things." ”
Zhong Wangwu rubbed his hands, "That's a good feeling, I did this." ”
The Ninth Master nodded, "Since that's the case, then you should prepare in advance during this time, and I'll inform you when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I'll see you later."
The young Taoist priest quickly bowed to the other party, and then smeared the soles of his feet with lightning speed.
The old man looked at the direction in which the other party was leaving, thoughtfully, and for a long time he muttered to himself, "It's interesting to have two masters and go their own way." ”
