"Old fairy, what's going on?" Uncle Li yawned, gathered the clothes draped over his shoulders, and stepped forward.

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "This kid was confused by ghosts, and he was almost taken away by those water ghosts. ”

When Uncle Li heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the nonsense that was sleeping. Hu Yan breathed evenly, but he didn't find anything wrong, and he was a little relieved: "Old fairy, is Brother Qiao okay?"

The old Taoist priest poured a glass of water, took a sip, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, old good man, he's fine." I was afraid that he would not be strong-willed, so I knocked him unconscious. He'll be fine after a night's rest. ”

"Master, how could he be taken away by a ghost?" Wu Qiu rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at the sleepy nonsense beside him.

"Hey, Xiaoyou is obsessed, and karma blinds him, so he will naturally be taken advantage of by ghosts. Wu Qiu You have to look at Xiao You these days, I am afraid that he will be confused again and be taken away by those water ghosts!" The old Taoist priest looked at Wu Qiu with a cautious face, shook his head and sighed.

In the eyes of Wu Qiu, who naturally knew the matter, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, even if I don't sleep tonight, I will be optimistic about him." ”

The old Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction, and took out two yellow talismans from his arms: "Just in case, don't ask for it, you go and paste these two exorcism charms on the door." Thinking about it, those ghosts don't dare to come back to life. ”

Without asking for a word, he took the talisman handed over by the old Taoist priest, and went to the door to paste the talisman with the bamboo chair.

The old Taoist priest slowly paced in front of Hu Yan, drew an unknown rune with his fingers in the air, and slapped a virtual palm on the top of Hu Yan's head, but saw a faint golden light flash, and a trace of streamer was imprinted on Hu Yan's forehead.

"Hey, this is also a catastrophe in your life, whether you can survive it safely depends on your own mind. ”

After speaking, the old Taoist priest turned his head to Uncle Li, who had been beside him with a worried face, and said, "Old good man, don't worry." This kid is blessed with a great life, and he will be fine. ”

Uncle Li felt a little relieved in his heart, sighed and said, "Hey, this hard-working child. I don't know what God has done to make him suffer all this. ”

Uncle Li is a person who grew up watching Hu Yan, and he naturally knows Hu Yan's past experience. In his eyes, Hu Yan is a hard-working child who has been struggling in suffering. Since childhood, I have experienced all kinds of life and death, and I have lived alone. finally made a good friend, and watched him being washed away by the Water Dragon King. Not to mention a twelve- or thirteen-year-old child, even a determined adult can't stand such pain.

The old Taoist priest looked thoughtfully at the sleeping nonsense, and said in a deep voice: "This is his fate." God let him experience these unbearable pains, which may also be a kind of tempering for him. This son is destined not to be an ordinary person in the future. ”

Uncle Li sighed: "I hope so." It's just that this kid is miserable. ”

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Only when you suffer hardship can you become a master." The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. ”

Suddenly, a thought flashed in the old Taoist's heart, maybe it was God's arrangement that he met him, could he be destined to have a lifetime of master-apprentice fate with the child in front of him? Although he thought so, the old Taoist priest was not sure, and he was also beating a drum in his heart. This demon subjugation and demon eradication to save the common people is not a simple matter. This road is difficult and dangerous, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford. Before, Hu Yan wanted to follow him to track down the evil dragon. That's because he has an obsession with himself and wants to avenge his good friend. If he had this heart, the old Taoist priest would definitely not accept him as a disciple. Hatred will only make people lose themselves, and Taoism emphasizes non-action, non-fighting, and self-cultivation. If you harbor obsession and hatred, you will not be able to cultivate the right path after all, so that you will fall into the devil's path.

As for the matter of accepting nonsense as a disciple, the old Taoist priest has not planned to consider it for the time being. At least he has to investigate Hu Yan more, if he is really the one who was chosen by heaven. This master-apprentice fate naturally can't run away.

"Master, what are you thinking?"

After putting up the charm and packing it up, seeing that the master was thinking about things, he shook his sleeve robe and shouted.

The old Taoist priest retracted his mind, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I don't want anything, have you ever posted a charm?"

"Don't worry, master, it's already posted. Wuqiu nodded and pointed to the two charms that were sticking squarely to the door.

"Okay, no, you can take care of the nonsense tonight. To be a teacher, you also need to meditate. The old Taoist priest glanced at Uncle Li and said, "Old good man, you can rest assured, just leave it to Wuqiu here." ”

Uncle Li shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm still a little worried about Brother Qiao." Besides, I'm old, and I don't have so much sleepiness. Old immortal, go meditate and practice. Here's where I can look at it. ”

The old Taoist priest naturally knew that Uncle Li cared about Hu Yan, but he was not reluctant. As soon as he agreed, he sat down on the thatched pile and sat up.

Wuqiu slept for a while, but he was not sleepy at this time, and chatted with Uncle Li without a match.

After what happened before, it was quiet outside the house, and even the birds and insects were gone. The upsetting ghost night cry also disappeared in the voice of the old Taoist priest. stayed up until the sky was white, and nothing mysterious happened.

As soon as it was dawn, Hu Yan, who had been asleep, woke up. He stretched his back, feeling like he was being filled with lead. My head hurts even more, and as for last night's incident, I can't remember it at all. He rubbed his somewhat swollen temples and looked around, the old fairy was still meditating, and a morning light spilled from the window, gilding the old fairy's body with a layer of golden light. It's like the immortal coming to the world. I was a little stunned to see the nonsense.

Wu Qiu was lying on the table and falling asleep, and a few words came out from time to time. As for Uncle Li, he is sitting on the threshold at the moment, smoking a dry cigarette.

"Uncle Li......" Hu Yan twisted his sore neck, stood up and walked towards Uncle Li.

Hearing Hu Yan's voice, the cigarette stalk in Uncle Li's hand trembled slightly, and he stood up suddenly: "Brother Qiao, you're awake!" Saying that, Uncle Li walked quickly to Hu Yan's side and looked up and down: "Are you okay, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Hu Yan was a little surprised, but seeing that Uncle Li cared so much, a trace of warmth suddenly rose in his heart, and said, "I'm fine, but I have a little headache." What's wrong with you, how do you look like you haven't slept all night?"

"You don't remember last night?"

Hu Yan was slightly stunned: "Uncle Li, what happened last night?"

Uncle Li shook his head and said, "It seems that you really don't remember what happened last night, but it's a good thing that you can't remember." ”

The more Uncle Li said this, the more curious Hu Yan became, and the more he wanted to know what happened last night. So he pestered Uncle Li and asked him to tell him what happened last night.

Uncle Li couldn't resist nonsense, so he told nonsense about last night. Hearing nonsense, sometimes frowning, sometimes crying, both shocked and afraid. also knew that his little life was once again pulled back from the ghost gate by the old fairy. The more grateful I am. Looking at the old Taoist priest's eyes, he became more and more reverent.

"Uncle Li, you have worked hard all night. It's all because I am not strong-willed, and I almost fell in love with those ghostly charms. Now I'm fine, you go and rest. For Uncle Li, Hu Yan is naturally very grateful, he has taken good care of himself since he was a child, and he has long regarded Uncle Li as his relative. Last night, because of himself, he was frightened and guarded all night, and he was very upset in his heart, and he was even more moved.

"It's okay, the old man is old, and he can't sleep much this night. If you're not feeling well, go to sleep and I'll get something to eat. Saying that, Uncle Li went out with a smile. As long as the nonsense is fine, his whole heart will be put down. After a while, there was a burst of aroma in the room, and I don't know what Uncle Li made delicious.

Zhengxiang, who was sleeping, suddenly sniffed, stood up from the stool with two eyes shining, and shouted in surprise with a smashing mouth: "It's so fragrant, it seems to be the taste of sweet potato porridge." But he found that Hu Yan was sitting opposite him, looking at him with a smile. I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Hey, you're awake!"

"yes, wake up!"

Wuqiu looked at Hu Yan with a smile on his face, a little strange, and reached out and touched Hu Yan's forehead: "Hey, don't you be spoiled by the master's brain." In his eyes, not to mention a smile on the way, he didn't even talk much, but today he was strange, he actually smiled at himself and took the initiative to talk to himself, and he was a little confused for a while.

Speechlessly, he patted off Wuqiu's little hand that was rubbing around his head and said, "Your brain is broken." But no, thank you. ”

"Thank me, thank me for what?" Wu Qiu looked at Hu Yan in some surprise.

Hu Yan stood up with a smile, patted Wuqiu's little head and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all night last night." Thank you and the old fairy for saving my life again last night. Without looking back, he walked out of the thatched hut.

I knew from Uncle Li that I didn't ask for anything and did my best to take care of him all night last night, and I didn't fall asleep tired until it was almost dawn. For this little Taoist priest who was only five or six years old, Hu Yan had something indescribable in his heart. The little Taoist priest in front of him not only had the grace of life, but also took care of him all night. For Hu Yan, such a kindness is difficult for him to repay in his life. He was grateful in his heart, but he didn't have the same reverence as the old fairy, but more of a different feeling, and he himself couldn't tell what it was. It's just that I feel like him a little bit like this little Taoist priest who is a little noisy, a little greedy, and a little naughty.

"Hey, nonsense, you stinky boy, is this how you treat your savior?" Wu Qiu was stunned, and chased him out with his teeth and claws......
