The servant who called nine catties heard Yin Mao's response, lowered his head, and silently pulled up the rice in his bowl.

"Master, I'm really just half a bucket of water, if you follow me to learn, I'm afraid it will hurt you, do you know that punishing evil demons is not a child's house, if the evil thing is too high, then the little life may be lost at any time. ”

Holding a chopstick dish and putting it in a nine-catty bowl, Yin Mao said in a very heavy tone.

"But the people in the county call you Yin Tianshi, if you are only half a bucket, then there will be no powerful people in this world. ”

Jiujin saw that Yin Mao was concerned about holding a chopstick dish for himself, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and said again.

Hearing Jiujin's words, Yin Mao also put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, paced in the dining room with his hands behind his back, and said in a low tone as he walked.

"Have you forgotten what happened in Wujiagou in the north of the county half a year ago? Master, I settled the matter there and came back to rest for a month, and my body recovered, if there was no talisman left to me by my master at that time, I would have died in Wujiagou that time.

And the incident two years ago on the grave mountain in the east of the county seat, are you wrong? If it weren't for Master Cao Tianshi, would I have survived to this day?

It's not that I don't want to teach you, but because this thing of catching evil spirits and taking demons is too dangerous, what if one accidentally loses his life? You have grown up watching you step by step, and I don't want to watch you go before me. ”

After finishing his words in a very low tone, Yin Mao returned to the dining table and sat down.

Seeing Yin Mao's expression, a little maid took chopsticks and slapped the servant who was nine catties small: "The master is also for your good, do you want to take you in if the master takes you in, where are you now?" And just like the master just said, this cultivation thing is too dangerous, you should study honestly." ”

After listening to Yin Mao's earnest narration, and adding the little maid's mention, Jiujin nodded wisely at this time, and obediently took a bowl of soup and handed it to Yin Mao.

"Master, you drink a bowl of soup to warm your body, from now on I will not make such a request, in the future I will study hard and strive to get a fame. ”

"Okay~" nodded sensitively, Yin Mao took the soup bowl in Jiujin's hand and took a sip.

In his heart, in addition to the reason he just said, there is another reason, that is, Zhou Qing said a word to him when he left, which roughly means that he should not accept apprentices easily, because catching ghosts and demons is not a trick, and one will lose his life if he is not careful.

At this time, it was the end of the year, and after today, there were two days before the New Year's Festival, so after Yin Mao sat down, he began to discuss with the five servants how to spend the year.

"Master, tomorrow Xi'er and I will sew a new robe for you to wear for the New Year, what style do you want?"

"What style?" Yin Mao thought for a while and replied with a smile: "Forget it, it's so cold, don't freeze your hands." ”

"It's okay, it's only once a year, your clothes are bought in the cloth shop on weekdays, and I and Xi'er have to help you sew a new dress for this year. ”

At the maid's insistent request, Yin Mao finally nodded: "Just the style on me, if there is that kind of bright red fabric, use bright red fabric." ”

"Bright red, sir, is it the same color as the clothes on the painting in the incense hall?"

"Yes, try to find a fabric in that shade. ”

Ten years have passed, and Yin Mao has never worn a red robe, but today he suddenly thought that he also wanted to try wearing a red robe like his master Zhou Qing.

In the hall, the six masters and servants discussed the New Year's affairs in laughter and laughter, and it was not until late at night that they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, when Yin Mao was still sleeping in the room, there was a nine-catty call from outside the room.

"Master, Zhang Yuan from the north of the county has come to visit, saying that he is looking for you in an emergency. ”

"Zhang Yuanwai?" Seeing the panicked nine catties outside the door, Yin Mao nodded: "I know, you let him wait for me in the hall for a while, I will go to see him when I have clothes." ”

After giving the order, Yin Mao went into the house and put on a thick coat, and then put a long robe on the thick coat, and then put his hands into the wide sleeves and went to his living room.

When he came to the living room, he saw a fat man in a rich costume sitting on a wooden chair in the hall, his face full of panic.

"Isn't this Zhang Yuanwai? What kind of wind blew you to me?"

"Oh Yin Heavenly Master, you can be regarded as coming out. ”

After Zhang Yuanwai in the hall saw Yin Mao, he quickly got up and walked to his approach, and opened his mouth to tell the purpose of his visit.

People who can come to Yin Mansion to find him will naturally come here when something strange happens in the family, and this person is no exception.

The purpose of his coming to Yin Mao today was because last night, his second room died, not only the second room, but also a son and a daughter born in the second room died tragically at the same time last night.

There were three lives in the mansion at this time, and the death was extremely weird, so Zhang Yuanwai came to the Yin Mansion early in the morning.

roughly explained what happened, and at the end, Zhang Yuanwai put a bag of money on the table.

Holding the money bag in his hand and checking it, Yin Mao replied: "Wait for me here, I'll go get some things and go back to the house with you to have a look." ”

After returning to the room with the money bag, Yin Mao changed into a wide robe, and then carried a Qiankun bag on his back, and when he finally left, he walked to a wooden cabinet and took out a small yellow cloth bag inside.

There is a talisman in the cloth bag, it looks old, this talisman was left for Yin Mao when he left, there were originally four of them, and in the past ten years, he has used three of them.

"That's all left for this last treasure, I hope I won't have a chance to use this talisman this time, so that this thought left by the master can be kept for a while longer. ”

Holding a small cloth bag and muttering to himself, Yin Mao put it into the Qiankun bag on his side, and then he went out of the room with a wooden sword more than two feet long.

The wooden sword in his hand was made of a piece of lightning strike wood, the wood was given to him by Zhou Qing back then, and after Zhou Qing left, he asked the carpenter master of Turtle County to make the lightning strike wood into a wooden sword.

With this wooden sword, countless little evil demons have all fallen into the hands of this wooden sword in the past ten years.

After returning to the hall with the guy, Yin Mao said to the Zhang Yuanwai: "Let's go." ”

Then, the two went out of the Yin Mansion together and went to the north of the county seat.

On the way to Zhang Yuanwai's house, Yin Mao heard from him about the cause of the strange things in the house, and the result was roughly the result of his eldest lady who had been dead for 16 years.

Zhang Yuanwai explained in detail what happened in his family and the connection between his eldest lady who had been dead for more than ten years, and before he knew it, they walked to Zhang's house.
