"I don't know if that fellow Daoist called me here?" The purple-robed old man flashed with a dazzling blue light around him, and his figure was like a ghost, and in a few blinks of an eye, he came to the three of them.

"In the Xia Buyi Sect Lai Changsheng, this is my apprentice Li Ge and the villagers under the mountain. When Lai Laodao saw the person coming, he raised his hand and gave a salute, and said in a normal tone.

"It turned out to be Lai Daoyou, disrespectful and disrespectful! In Xia Yin Siping, he was a military judge under the Chenghuang of Jining Mansion. The judge named Yin Siping raised his hand and saluted back, and then asked, "I wonder why Lai Daoyou summoned me here?"

"My master and apprentice traveled here and met a black mound, so I called Judge Yin here, and I hope you can introduce it into Yin Si and reincarnate. Lai Laodao turned his head and glanced at the trembling ghoul in the formation, and said.

"I see, then the judge will take it away and take it to the Yin Division to reincarnation. Yin Siping responded, and immediately took out a long rope from behind him, waved his hand, and directly tied up the ghouls in the formation. He raised his hand and gave a salute to Lai Lao Dao, spit out the word 'farewell' in his mouth, and disappeared into the mountains and forests with Kurotsuka.

"Lai~Lai~ Master Lai, that old man just now was the judge under the City God's master?" Li Gang looked at the direction where Yin Siping and the ghoul disappeared, and said blankly.

"Well, it should be. Let's go, let's go down. Lai Laodao nodded, and walked down the mountain with his hands in his hands.

"Let's go, Brother Li. Li Ge patted the shoulder of the sturdy man next to him and followed behind Lai Laodao. By the light of the lonely moon in the sky, the three of them stumbled back to the village on the rugged mountain road.

"Master, how many kinds of ghosts are there, and there should be many kinds of strange ghosts like the black mound we just saw, right?" In a small room of Li Gang's house, Li Ge sat next to the oil lamp and asked.

"There are indeed many kinds of ghosts, and as for how many there are, I don't know exactly how many there are. Regarding the types of ghosts, my Taoist people are not as careful as the Buddhists. You just need to remember that there are only two kinds of ghosts in our cloth faction, one is the ghost with resentment, if you meet this kind of ghost, you can punish it. The second is a ghost creature without resentment, this kind of ghost creature is harmless to people's hearts, and if it is encountered, let it go. ”

"Well, I see, Master. The apprentice nodded in response, and then the room fell silent.

In the early morning of the next day, when Li Gang got up, he found that the door of his house was hidden, so he hurriedly ran to the room where Lai Laodao's master and apprentice lived, and found that the two had left, and there was still a silver ingot on the table in the room.

"Master, if we follow this official road, we should be about to pass through Qingzhou Mansion, right?"

"It's almost over, and after a day's walk, we will arrive at Laizhou Mansion. ”

"Didn't you say that we were going to a place in Qingzhou Mansion on the third day of the third month of March? Now there are only five days left before the third day of the third month of March. ”

"yes, there's five days left, let's go. Lai Laodao whispered, stretched out his hand and pointed to a town that was faintly visible in the distance, and said, "That town, I remember, is called Wulai Town, and we will rest there for two days." ”

"Okay~" Li Ge responded when he heard this, and followed the master to walk quickly towards the town. After the two entered the town, they found an inn and stayed for three days. In the past three days, Lai Laodao seems to have changed as a different person, frowning all day long with a bitter face.

That night, Li Ge looked at the master who was sitting at the table in a daze, and asked softly, "Master, tomorrow is the second day of the third month, are we not moving?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning we will set off. Lai Laodao glanced at his apprentice and said kindly, "It's not early, go to sleep." ”

"Master, where are you going to take me?" Li Ge walked to the side of the bed and saw that Master was in a daze again.

"Hurry up, you'll know the day after tomorrow. Lai Laodao glared at the apprentice, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and went to the other bed in the dark and lay down.

"If you don't say it, you won't say it, anyway, you'll know the day after tomorrow. Li Ge lay on the bed and muttered, and after a while he fell asleep.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, the master and apprentice sat up from their respective beds almost simultaneously. The master glanced at the apprentice and a smile appeared on his face. The apprentice looked at the master's expression, and also grabbed the back of his head and smiled innocently.

"Laugh at the fart, look at your stupidity, why did I, Lai Changsheng, accept such a stupid thing as you as an apprentice. ”

Hearing Master's sudden scolding, the smile on Li Ge's face became even stronger. Since living in this inn, his master seems to have changed as a person, and now he has returned to his former appearance, and he naturally feels happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Get up, Ge'er, let's pack up and go. Lai Laodao saw the smile on the apprentice's face, and said in an unusually loving tone, and after cleaning up, he went downstairs with the apprentice. Out of the inn, the two walked into the mountains outside Wulai Town.

After a rapid journey, the master and apprentice walked through the mountains in the afternoon and walked into a forest with a gentle terrain.

"Master, what kind of place is this?" Stepping on the forest full of thick dead leaves, Li Ge asked curiously.

"This forest is called Ozawa Forest. Lai Laodao replied, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I have been here twice, the first time was to come with your ancestor, and the second time was when I came alone. We were walking a little further and we could see a river. ”

"Oh~" Li Ge nodded, followed the master in the forest for a while, and saw a river about five or six zhang wide. Standing by the river, he asked curiously, "Master, how long do we have to go?"

"It's not far away, and we'll be there tomorrow after half a day's walk along the river. Lai Laodao walked to the river and washed his face, looked up at the sky that was about to darken, and then said, "It's getting dark, I remember there is a small hill in front, let's go there for one night tonight." ”

"Okay. Li Ge nodded, followed the master forward for a little longer, and saw the mountain recess that the master was talking about. The master and apprentice picked up some firewood, lit a bonfire, and then took out the steamed buns from the baggage and nibbled on them.

"Master, where are we going tomorrow? Next to the fire, Li Ge asked curiously while chewing on steamed buns in his mouth.

"I don't know, it's just a small lake. When your ancestor brought me here, he only told me that he would bring you here in the year of Jiachen. Later, I came here on my own, and I didn't find anything. Lai Laodao shook his head helplessly.

"Xiaohu, Master, did you go to the bottom of the lake to have a look?" Li Ge hurriedly replied.

"I dived to the bottom of the lake to investigate, but in the end I found nothing. I don't know what Master asked me to take you there for. Lai Laodao looked at the fire with confused eyes, and after being silent for a long time, he turned his head to look at the apprentice beside him who was full of doubts, and said, "Don't think too much about Ge'er, let's take a closer look when we go tomorrow." ”

"Good. Li Ge answered, and casually picked up the two dead branches beside him and threw them into the fire. Then he got up and stood boredly in front of the mountain recess and glanced at it, and suddenly found that behind an old tree by the river not far away, a figure was standing quietly looking at himself.
