A villager hesitated, stepped forward, and took the money: "Do you really want to buy this old donkey? ”

"Poor Dao really bought this donkey, please rest assured, Poor Dao will leave today, and if you don't stay here long, you naturally have no way to regret it. Yi Fan said.

After receiving the affirmation, the villager put away the broken silver and said to the others behind him, "Let's go, this donkey will be given to this Taoist." ”

After speaking, he walked quickly to the village, for fear that Yi Fan would call him to stop.

The old donkey was no one to hold down, and he got up as soon as he turned over, and was about to run away, but was grabbed by Yi Fan by the rope and scolded with a smile: "You ungrateful brute, you just saved your life, and you don't thank you, you want to run away?"

Of course, the donkey didn't understand, and only walked back and forth uneasily, watching Yi Fan's reaction from time to time out of the corner of his eye.

"Just go to Jiangxi, a thousand miles away, use you as a substitute. ”

Yi Fan stepped forward, patted its neck, and saw that it was too timid to look at each other, but retreated, and let it go, beckoning the disgusting ghost to salute, and led it to the outside of the village.

Out of the village, it was a small road, and I was about to ride on a donkey, but I saw it kick suddenly, but fortunately, I was tired of the ghost flashing fast, and I dodged it, but I was also startled, and immediately bared my teeth and screamed angrily.

"Alright, you lead the way, don't worry about it. ”

Yi Fan was speechless, and hurriedly dissuaded, don't be the donkey you just bought, and you will be hammered to death by this product with a fist, then it is not worth it.

The disgusted ghost walked forward, and when he passed by the donkey's head, he suddenly slapped the donkey's head, and then ran forward excitedly.

......

The donkey is an old donkey, it can't go fast, Yi Fan is not in a hurry, sitting on it, letting it go forward slowly, reluctant at first, but after a long time, he will accept his fate.

And Yi Fan didn't treat it badly, he got some good forage to feed him from time to time, and gradually became intimate with him, but he didn't like each other with disgusting ghosts.

A person, a donkey, a strange beast, all the way to the southeast, meet the market to rest, buy some dry food, take a short rest on the second day to continue to hurry, if you encounter a stormy day, or find a cave will be a night, lucky to meet the deserted grass shed broken view, you can have a good rest.

Along the way, I have seen a lot of three religions and nine streams, and I have also encountered a lot of things that make people cry and laugh, and I have seen countless sad hearts in the world.

At noon on this day, the sky suddenly changed, the wind was surging, the dark clouds were rolling, and there was a hint of rain in the air, a sign of impending wind and rain.

"Hurry up, go quickly, find a place to hide from the rain, don't become a soup chicken. ”

Yi Fan patted the donkey's neck, this thing also knew each other, originally looked leisurely, immediately spread his hooves, and ran forward, his energy was incomparable to before.

Let the disgusting ghost who walked in front be dumbfounded, if he can scold people, he will definitely scold, this stupid donkey, he will be lazy before.

A few miles ahead, I saw a broken view on the back of the hillside, no need to greet Yi Fan, the old donkey ran there by himself, just entered the view, it rained sparsely outside.

Here is a broken view, the Tao is not the Tao, the Buddha is not the Buddha, there are Buddha statues enshrined, there are Taoist statues, and even put together, so that he is speechless, this phenomenon has been encountered before, in the eyes of the people, as long as you can bless peace, whether you are the Tao or the Buddha, together with the offering.

The rain is very heavy, but there is no rain leakage in the temple, and the inside is also clean, and there are some burned incense ashes on the wooden platform, which means that the view is broken here, and there are often believers who come to worship.

Since there are believers who come to worship, it means that it is not far from the place where the living gather, and it may even be a few miles away, but it is pouring rain outside, but they are not in a hurry to leave.

The disgusted ghost sat listlessly on the ground, staring blankly at the heavy rain outside the door, and suddenly his ears moved, and he stood up vigilantly, and consciously put on his hat.

Someone's coming.

Yi Fan's heart moved, he also heard the movement, and sure enough, after a while, he saw three or four people rushing into the broken view, and he was not surprised to see Yi Fan, and he spoke to himself.

"This God, if you change your face, you will change your face, and you may be a thief. ”

"Hey, who's to say it's not?"

Listening to their chat, I knew that these people were villagers from Fuxiang Town, a few miles away, because they came back from going out, the sky changed suddenly halfway, and they also came in to hide from the rain.

One of them looked at Yi Fan and the disgusted ghost for a few moments, and said, "This Taoist is polite, I don't know if he went to our Fuxiang Town?"

That's right, I hurried all the way to Fuxiang Town to rest for a few days. Yi Fan said with a smile.

The villager suddenly said: "It turned out that I was passing by our Fuxiang Town, and I thought I was going to Zhou Yuanwai's house, but it doesn't matter, you rush now, there is still good wine and meat to serve." ”

Yi Fan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did the layman say this? Could it be that there is no story in it?"

Several villagers saw that there was a topic to talk about, sheltering from the rain on a rainy day, and there was nothing to do, just to relieve their boredom, so they found a clean place and sat down, and one of them said: "This matter is a long story, but it has to start from a few years ago, if the Taoist chief is willing to listen, listen to us and you in detail." ”

A few years ago, the world was in turmoil, although it did not fall apart and the war continued, but the yamen did not care about things, and could only maintain basic public order and order, and also increased taxes in various ways, and the people were miserable, resulting in many unjust cases and deaths.

I don't know when, there is a rumor circulating in the town, saying that there is a ghost king who will often send imps to catch people, but no one believed it at first, but it didn't take long for someone to disappear inexplicably.

Although these missing people are probably those wandering beggars, or even some scoundrels, who run rampant in the countryside on weekdays and deceive the people, they have also caused a panic.

Fortunately, people do not disappear often, there will always be a few months in between, and the missing people are people that everyone doesn't like, so it didn't cause large-scale panic.

A few days ago, the youngest son of Zhou Yuanwai's family disappeared and sent a lot of gold and silver money, so he said that the master of the yamen ordered to let the Yamen find someone, and finally found the body in a barren mountain mass grave, which had been dead for a long time.

The Zhou family was naturally angry and wanted to catch the murderer, but it was rumored that it was a ghost who killed people, and the yamen was unwilling to take care of it, so they looked for mages everywhere and wanted revenge.

One person suddenly said: "By the way, a Taoist priest came a few days ago, saying that he had found the murderer, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”

As soon as he said this, he immediately diverted the topic again.

It turns out that in the town, there is a strange thing, some wealthy families, often will be stolen gold, silver and jewelry, and there are no thieves, and there are no clues, so they can only admit it, so they strengthen their precautions, but to no avail, this matter often happens, and it has become a point of conversation after people's meals.

Speaking of this, several people frothed at the mouth, gloating, and even said that it was a chivalrous man who robbed the rich and helped the poor, although no one had received the favor of the thief, but it also made people feel happy.
