The wind is high and the night is dark, and the moonlight is cold.

Fan Yu listened to the servants of the Zhou Mansion play the third watch, rubbed his eyes, looked around, and whispered: "Master, it's been three watches, and there is nothing else unusual, I think this so-called evil is not going to come out tonight, or let's go back and rest first." ”

"Silence requires noise. ”

The Manifest Taoist sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and scolded: "I don't have any patience at all, how can I cultivate the Tao and settle my mind? It seems that letting you practice medicine in the past six months is considered a vain study." ”

Fan Yu was excited, and his sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and he hurriedly said, "Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong." ”

The Manifest Daoist snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a gust of wind blew, which made him shiver, tightened his clothes, squatted in the corner, staring at the outside with a pair of eyes, and no longer dared to complain and relax.

Tonight, the Zhou Mansion let the people rest early, and there was no patrol to protect the courtyard, and the lights were not at all, and the black hole and silence made people afraid.

When it came to ugliness, Fan Yu really couldn't hold on, his eyelids kept fighting, so he leaned against the wall and curled up to rest.

Suddenly, I felt a shock in my heart, goosebumps came out all over my body, and I almost screamed, but I quickly held back, straightened up and looked out in fear.

There was nothing but shadows in the moonlight, dead silence in the darkness.

What's going on?

Fan Yu was frightened, looked at the Manifest Daoist, and saw that he was meditating with his eyes closed, as if he hadn't found anything, and he was even more puzzled.

"Fan Yu, why did you wake up suddenly, but what did you find?"

"Master, this, the disciple didn't notice anything unusual, just suffered from some cold. ”

Fan Yu swallowed his saliva, hesitated and didn't say it, for fear that he would say something wrong and cause dissatisfaction among the Daoists.

"No, there's movement. ”

The Manifest Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, pinched his fingers, looked at a wall, was silent for a long time, and then stood up again after half a sound: "Let's go and have a look." ”

said, without waiting for Fan Yu, he turned over and got up, and walked out.

"Master, slow down. ”

Fan Yu looked left and right, as if there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him in the dark, and he snorted, and followed closely.

Dozens of steps, bypassing a rockery, the Taoist stopped, squatted down and wiped it on the ground, put it next to his nose and smelled it: "It's human blood." ”

Human blood?

Fan Yu was startled in his heart, and looked around meaningfully, for fear that a monster would pop out of the pimple from some corner.

"Gone early, not here. ”

The Taoist calmed his voice: "There seems to be other smells in this bloodstain, and you can come and smell it too." ”

When Fan Yu heard this, he immediately squatted down and looked at it, in the corner of the rockery, there was a small piece of black, which was not conspicuous in the moonlight.

I dipped my finger in it and put it next to my nose, and a pungent smell of blood filled my nostrils, and I forcibly endured my nausea and carefully distinguished.

"How can there be a trace of the smell of famous grass in this bloodstain?"

Fan Yu was surprised, sniffed it carefully, and confirmed: "It is indeed the smell of Mingling grass, I have collected this thing to cover up the smell of corpses, especially for people who are sick and dead, using this herb can prevent the epidemic and deodorize." ”

"Minglingcao?"

The Taoist nodded slightly, and suddenly his body jumped, and he flew three feet away, and with a sound of dust in his hand, he swayed out, like a stick and shovel, hitting a darkness.

"Where is the crumb, hiding in the shadows and not daring to see people?"

The sound came out, but the person flew upside down, crashed into the rockery, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the dust was broken into several petals and scattered all over the ground.

In the dark, the branches of the trees swayed, but there was no movement, as if everything was illusory.

Fan Yu made a long noise before he settled down, and just a few breaths ago, he felt a fierce beast lurking in the shadows, and then he saw the Manifest Daoist flying out upside down.

In an instant, he returned to calm, and then he reacted, and immediately squatted down to support the Xianming Taoist: "Master, how are you, I'm going to call someone over." ”

"Don't go. ”

The obvious Taoist grabbed Fan Yu, spit out a mouthful of blood, and paused: "The one I fought against was not an evil man, he was a master of kung fu, he was merciful and did not kill him, otherwise at that moment, I would have died." ”

Fan Yu was at a loss and didn't know what to do: "Then, what should I do?"

"This matter is beyond my ability, it is not an ordinary prank, it is more like a vendetta in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Vendetta?"

Fan Yu was at a loss, how could this pull out the rivers and lakes again? What are the rivers and lakes, is it possible that there are still martial arts masters.

"Okay, since they didn't kill us, they don't want us to reveal this, let alone leave clues, and this matter is over, and you are not allowed to reveal what happened tonight, otherwise we will definitely be in trouble, and we will be killed at any time. ”

......

The next day, the blood stains in the courtyard caused a commotion, but fortunately no one died again, and the people inquired about it to find out that the evil had been removed, and the blood was transformed by demons, which immediately made the contaminated subordinates want to chop their hands.

"Manifest the Daoist, is that evil really removed?"

"Zhou Jushi don't have to worry, the evil has been killed by the old way, and there will be no more disasters in the Zhou Mansion. ”

Master Zhou was overjoyed, laughed, and sighed deeply: "The Taoist is really an immortal, and the old man is grateful." ”

As he spoke, he called to the butler, "Go to the account room and get three hundred taels of silver." ”

Xianming Dao Chang hurriedly refused: "How can this make it, the old Tao is just doing his duty, subduing demons and eliminating demons, how can he collect tattoo silver." ”

Master Zhou said with a smile: "If you can keep my Zhou Mansion safe, don't say three hundred taels, three thousand taels is not much, the Taoist chief doesn't have to refuse." ”

"Then thank you Jushi Zhou. ”

......

"Master, why is there no evil spirit, and there is a hidden secret that is not reported, and you still have to collect the silver?"

On the way back, Fan Yu wondered and felt uncomfortable, but when he saw that the Taoist was indifferent and at ease, he couldn't help but ask.

The Manifest Daoist stroked his beard and chuckled: "Fan Yu, you said that if I don't collect the cashier, Zhou Jushi can believe that the evil has been eliminated?"

"There's no evil. ”

"Pedantic, if I say that there is no evil and explain the matter, then we will be killed immediately, you should be the master last night, you really dare not kill me?"

In this way, Fan Yu didn't dare to ask more.

After returning to the Qingfeng Temple, it was clear that the Taoist's originally rosy cheeks immediately turned pale, and without saying a word, he locked himself in the room.

This fireworker Xiaodao was startled, and hurriedly asked the reason, but Fan Yu smiled bitterly, only asked him to take care of the Manifest Daoist, and then went out of the Taoist Temple.

Half a month later.

The entire Songzi County knows that Fan Juren apprenticed to Qingfeng Guan Xian Daoren, and in the largest Jiawei restaurant in the city, half of the squires and rich people came to watch the ceremony.

"Master is above, please accept the disciple Fan Yu's worship. ”

Fan Yu respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then picked up the tea from the man's hand and handed it over: "Master, please drink tea." ”

The Manifest Daoist who was sitting at the top took the tea, took a sip of it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good apprentice." ”

"Congratulations to the Taoist Leader for his new apprenticeship, and congratulations to Fan Juren for his apprenticeship. ”

"Rejoice and rejoice...... Everyone eats tea. ”

The people who watched the ceremony congratulated one after another, and they were not surprised to worship the teacher, and they were not surprised, but they knew that the emperor now, I don't know how many gods, Buddhas, and Taoists worshipped, and many monks and Taoists were appointed as national teachers.

The emperors are like this, let alone the courtiers and people below?

So everyone is not surprised, but thinks it is a kind of beautiful talk, but on the other hand, it is indeed worth everyone to come and watch the ceremony.
