Chapter 60: Ghost Hunting
At the moment, the lights were dim and the night was dark.
The Taoist chief did not sleep, he sat on the roof and listened to the sound of the wind blowing the sycamore leaves in the courtyard. In such a quiet night, if a person is not asleep, it is easy to start thinking cranky. So he thought to himself: "How is Yun Shu sleeping, did he kick the quilt?"
Everyone in the four places was asleep, and there was an occasional dog barking or two in the alley in the distance. The Dao Leader looked down at his left hand, and the red thread between his fingers quietly extended into the darkness. It's these red threads that have been controlling the little ghost's heartbeat, letting it go where it wants to go.
"yes, that's it. β
In the silence, a cry of extreme panic suddenly erupted, it was Mrs. Xie's hoarse scream out of fearβ"Ghost, ghost!" Then the maid shouted in panic, and the guards' chaotic footsteps rang out one after another, and it seemed that the front seemed to be a mess of porridge.
Before she could finish her "ah", the Taoist chief had already stepped on the roof and landed lightly in the south wing. He stretched out his hand wrapped around the red thread and pointed into the darkness, whistled, and he picked up a flapping imp like a chicken.
"Well, that's it. β
Ghost hunting was not the main purpose of his visit, so this series of actions seemed very perfunctory in his own eyes.
It was all so fast that it was unbelievably fast, and Mrs. Xie's mouth was so wide open that she didn't even have time to close it. Xie Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at the little ghost in the Dao Chief's hand, and asked in disbelief, "Is it it?"
"Hey, you can't touch it, it's very angry. It's weird, though......"
"This ...... What's the strange?"
The Dao Chief lowered his head and pretended to think, and while thinking, he also made some doubtful voices: "It's not a secret, this kind of little ghost will only appear in the homes of people who have separated flesh and bones. It is resentful of being abandoned by its own parents in front of him, so if he sees other families abandoning their children, he will show up and disturb them. β
As he spoke, he winked at the imp, and it rolled its eyes and reluctantly flapped a few times, and let out a few feeble roars at them, which seemed more perfunctory than the Taoist.
The Taoist Chief secretly observed Mrs. Xie's reaction. When he said "abandoning her children", Mrs. Xie's eyes suddenly widened, as if she remembered some painful memory, and her eyes suddenly overflowed with tears. It's just that because outsiders are there, they can't let the tears flow. Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and let out an almost indistinguishable sigh.
Xie Wan looked at his father, furrowed her delicate brows, and pursed her lips without saying a word.
It can be seen from their reactions. This was already a sure thing, and the Taoist only felt that his heart suddenly sank, like a drowning man watching the hands stretched out towards him retract again, and even the hand holding the little ghost trembled slightly.
"Evil, evil!" Xie Yuan sighed. There was actually a trace of fatigue on his always resolute and majestic face. Mrs. Xie couldn't help but cover her mouth and began to sob. She slapped her husband on the shoulder and exclaimed, "We shouldn't have left Yan'er behind! she's our child too......!
Xie Yuan listened to his wife's cry and sighed heavily: "This was six years ago, we were besieged by the enemy that night, Yan'er was too young at that time, and I was afraid that her cry would attract the enemy, so I had to put her in a dilapidated Taoist temple first. After a few days, when I went to look for it again, I couldn't find it again......"
When Xie Yuan said this, he couldn't help but cry: "In the child's swaddling clothes, there is a red paper with the eight characters of birth written on it and a pair of longevity locks. In the past few years, we have been searching, and we have found no trace of the mountain, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious and less ......."
Throwing away the child for their own safety? This couple is really a big heart.
However, the Taoist chief actually heard "a red paper with the eight characters of birth written on it and a pair of longevity locks". I remember that when he was looking for clothes to take away at Grandpa Yun's house, he clearly found them. He couldn't help but tilt his head away, as if a thunderbolt had struck him, and he couldn't move.
Could it be that Yun Shu really wants to leave himself in the future?
Although she was still sleeping peacefully in Ling Xuguan, the Daoist already felt that his heart was empty, as if everything in that Taoist Temple was boring. Although he also told Rong He at that time that if he found her father, he would naturally return her, but that was just a joke. What do you really want him to do now, and how can he be willing to do it?!
He is an immortal, he has lived for thousands of years, and he thinks that he can see through the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and he can stay out of anything he does. Now he understands that everything is pale in the face of a person he loves.
"Gengchen, Guiwei, Yimao, Dingmao. He opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse, and he felt that he was almost as selfish as a robber: "I know where your daughter is. β
Xie Yuan and Gu Zijin heard that he could accurately report their daughter's birthday, and stood directly in front of the hall. Gu Zijin stepped forward and grabbed the Dao Chief's hand, and almost prayed with tears in his eyes: "Dao Chief, please tell us! No matter what the conditions are, we will agree!"
"She's my apprentice," he said, barely on her feet: "She's my apprentice now." β
