The moment the other party turned around, Chen Youniao saw a strange and deformed face, indescribable, it seemed to be an old man, his body was black, and he had a vague feeling, as if it was not an entity.

In the midst of the shouting and questioning, the "man" seemed to be frightened, and swooped down, moving quickly and quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the other side of the house and disappeared.

At this moment, Chen Youniao was really startled, he had not succeeded in cultivating the Tao, and he had no force, his hands were empty-handed, and he suddenly bumped into this weirdness, where did he dare to chase after him casually? In case the other party did not flee, but hid in the dark, rashly passed, and would be ambushed.

Ten years of Taoist career, although he has never been in actual combat, he has heard of demons and monsters, knows some things, and taboos.

At this time, Uncle Wang came out with his clothes on, he was so old, he slept lightly, he could hear the movement, and immediately got up to see what was going on.

"Young Master, what happened?"

Chen Youniao calmed down his emotions and spoke.

Uncle Wang is not an ordinary subordinate, he has lived in the township below the Laoshan Dojo for ten years, and his knowledge is naturally different. After listening to it, I was taken aback. He knew that the world was not peaceful, and on the way back was on the Jing River, and he had met the "river god", which was regarded as a scene. It's just that he never expected that in the county town, in the house where he lives, there will be weirdness:

"Young master, you, do you say that the other party is a human, or is it something else?"

Chen Youniao shook his head: "I can't see it clearly for a while, it's very weird anyway." ”

Wang Bodao: "This is the city, there is a yamen in the town, and there are soldiers and soldiers guarding it, how can a monster come out?"

Chen Youniao said in a deep voice: "The county town is huge, it is not surprising that there are incidents, it is remote and barren here, and there are mixed fish and dragons. ”

Uncle Wang asked: "When I came back earlier, I saw that madman worshipping here, and he kept saying ghosts and gods, could it be that this is a murderous house and haunted?"

Chen Youniao smiled: "The so-called ghosts are just evil spirits, and there is no underworld. ”

Uncle Wang said, "Just now?"

"It may be a human being, or it may be an evil spirit, but when it hears the sound and flees, it is afraid of people after all, if it is really fierce, it will have a seizure early. ”

Chen Youniao has a heartbeat.

Uncle Wang thought about it, it is true, if the other party is powerful, he will not escape, but he and the young master will escape.

Chen Youniao said: "Uncle Wang, I'm hungry. ”

Uncle Wang was stunned: "Young master, you can eat a lot for dinner." ”

"Hehe, I practiced the exercises and consumed them. ”

Uncle Wang didn't think much about it, took the silver money, and accompanied Chen Youniao out. This time, I can't go to the restaurant, so I look for a noodle stall on the side of the street. Eating in such a place is economical.

It's not a good thing to just eat noodles, Chen Youniao asked the store to cut two catties of pig's head meat. If you have meat to eat, you won't panic.

Uncle Wang looked at Chen Youniao's wind and clouds, dumbfounded, and hurriedly calculated silently in his heart: According to the young master's way of eating, he originally thought that he could pay a year's worth of money, but I am afraid it would only be enough for half a year's expenses.

Eat and drink to your heart's content, and go back to the house.

This night, whether it was Chen Youniao or Uncle Wang, they didn't sleep well, but fortunately, nothing happened, and it was not until dawn that they relaxed.

Uncle Wang went out to buy things, buy some daily necessities, necessities, and ingredients such as rice and noodles. Chen Youniao said that he would have to eat supper at night in the future, and it was impossible to go out every night, so it was convenient to keep it at home, and it would save money.

It's really going to save money.

Chen Youniao stayed in the house to study "Wenxin Carving Dragon", the literary atmosphere is of great use, the more the merrier, and it must be accumulated every day.

This learning process is not only about meditating, but also about writing it out and reading it aloud, which is similar to a normal state of reading.

Only with good intentions can we have a mental understanding and obtain a literary atmosphere.

In this way, reading, writing, and writing consume a lot of pen, ink and paper, which is a lot of consumption.

In this world, paper and books almost belong to the ranks of luxury goods, and the average poor family can't afford it at all, so in the Dayin Dynasty, most of the people are illiterate, and the children of the poor family want to read, but can't afford to buy pen and ink, and often only have to use the branch as a pen, write on the sand, and practice.

Uncle Wang came back with a lot of things, but he looked panicked.

Chen Youniao asked, "What's wrong?"

Uncle Wang put down his things and wiped his sweat: "Young master, it's not good, this mansion is really problematic, it's a murderous house." ”

Chen Youniao was stunned: "How do you know?"

Uncle Wang smiled bitterly: "When I came back from shopping, I met some people nearby and asked them, and they all said so." ”

Chen Youniao frowned: "Say that there have been dead people here?"

"That's not true, it's just that there are ghosts and things that make a lot of trouble, and the people of the clan couldn't live because of this, and then ran away. The house is remote, and it is a murderous house, so it has been vacant. ”

Uncle Wang said.

Chen Youniao heard it: "That's it?"

"Not only that, because the house was vacant and no one took care of it, there was a splash of skin and he took a fancy to it, and wanted to get in and steal something, but something happened, and I don't know what he encountered, he was so frightened that he ran away, and after he went out, he became crazy. Oh, it's the madman who came here last night to burn incense and worship. He used to be a well-known gangster in the neighborhood, and he was very bold. Now that I have collided with evil and lost my mind, it has become like this. ”

Chen Youniao listened and nodded, in this way, the strange person he bumped into last night is nine times out of ten, and he is evil.

As for the clan allocating this house to their own family, it probably means perfunctory.

Uncle Wang said again: "I heard that this matter was reported to the official before, and someone from the yamen came, but I couldn't find out why it came, so it was over." ”

Similar evil things are often strange and unpredictable, and they are difficult to solve, and they need to be sent by the Taoist court. And the matter of this mansion is limited to here, and no one has died, so naturally it will not alarm the above.

"Young master, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go and live somewhere else. ”

Uncle Wang said worriedly.

Chen Youniao asked: "It costs money to change land and rent, and it is not a long-term solution. ”

"But here?"

"It doesn't matter, although I haven't officially become a Taoist priest, I have been in the beginner for ten years, and I have learned some means, and I can cope with it. ”

Hearing this, Wang Boluo was slightly relieved. If the young master can solve it, then it is the best. It's a bit remote, but it's big enough to be a good place to live. Haidai County is prosperous, the house price is not cheap, a good location can be called an inch of land, it is a slightly worse house, and the monthly rent is also a few taels. With their current situation, they can afford to live, but life is difficult.

"Uncle Wang, go make breakfast, I'm hungry. ”

"Uh, okay. ”

Uncle Wang hurriedly went to work, muttering in his heart: The young master can really eat now.

But it's a good thing to be able to eat, and if you eat more, you're great. In some fairy rumors, there are great magical people who can eat a whole cow and several sheep at one meal.

After breakfast, Uncle Wang began to clean up the yard with a hoe in his hand to see if he could reclaim some places to grow vegetables, in that case, there was no need to buy them. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, meat, pasta, everything, all have to be bought, and the total is by no means a small amount.

"Oh, young master, young master is not good!"

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something terrible and cried out in horror.
