The two heads of the Zhao family felt that it was good for Sikong Tianshuo and them to personally invite Liu Qingyun, no matter what? It was all to save their son, if they didn't go, how could they show sincerity? The two personally went to the treasure house to select gifts, got into the carriage and came to the Guandi Temple three miles southwest of the town.

When they arrived at the Guandi Temple, this is also called the temple, and I don't know how long this temple has not been repaired, the paint on the door has been mottled, and the door is hanging on the door frame to make a creaking sound, I am really afraid that the gust of wind will accidentally blow the door off. The nine blue stone steps haven't been changed for a while, and they can't tell that they are steps. There is only one stone drum on the left and right, and there is no stake pouting of the horse on both sides of the temple gate.

The two heads of the Zhao family glanced at each other, got out of the carriage and ordered their subordinates to take down the gifts on the carriage, and then walked towards the temple gate. When they arrived at the gate of the temple, the two of them poked their necks and looked in before asking questions, trying to call out someone who was going on.

They called for three minutes, and only then did someone come out from the back of the main hall of the Guandi Temple, and this person yawned as he walked, and it looked like he should have just gotten up from sleep. When this person approached, the two heads of the Zhao family were all stunned, and saw that there was a Taoist priest walking towards them in front of them, this Taoist priest seemed to be in his sixties, and his height was medium, about eight feet, his body was very thin, and he was wearing a gray preaching robe, which was slightly better than Lu Press's outfit, and there were four or five patches, and the cloth belt in his waist was also patched, and under his feet was a pair of cloud shoes with fat socks opening, and the soles of these cloud shoes were worn thin. If you want to say that he is stronger than Lu Qi? The clothes on this Taoist priest are not shabby, but they are very clean. Looking at his appearance, his face is quite kind, but this Dao robe is shabby, and if he changes to a brand new Dao robe, he will also have a bit of Dao bone fairy style.

When the two heads of the Zhao family saw this Taoist priest coming to them, they first gave a salute: "This Taoist chief is polite." ”

The Taoist priest returned the salute, while squinting at the two heads of the Zhao family, it seemed that he was still a little presbyopia, he looked at it for a moment and exclaimed: "Oh, aren't these two Zhao officials? ”

The two heads of the Zhao family were stunned: "What?

This will be replaced by Lao Dao stunned: "Two big officials, what are you talking about? Who doesn't know you two in Liuyan Town? You are the uncle Zhao Zhen, you are the second master Zhao Qi, I am not mistaken, right?"

Zhao Zhen looked this Taoist priest up and down, then nodded, he turned his head slightly and whispered to Zhao Qi: "I'll just say it! Although this Taoist priest has a bit of Taoism, but in his style, he doesn't look like a master? It seems that the real master should be in this temple." ”

Zhao Qi nodded slightly, and he took a step forward: "This Daoist, we are here to meet a friend who lives in your temple temporarily. Zhao Qi said that he took out a piece of silver weighing five taels from his arms and stuffed it into the Taoist priest's hand.

This Taoist priest didn't know what was going on? He felt that his hand was cold and hard, and when he looked down, the white silver shook so much that his eyes were about to be spent, and the Taoist priest was stunned at that time, and the hand holding the silver was clenched at that time, and he just wanted to put the silver into his arms, and suddenly remembered what Zhao Qi had just said, his hand trembled slightly, and he let go of his hand again.

The Taoist priest looked at the silver in his hand, his face wandered, Zhao Qi looked at it beside him, and then took out a piece of silver weighing ten taels and stuffed it to the Taoist priest: "Please also ask the tired master to help me pass through, and I will thank you afterwards." ”

This Taoist priest saw that Zhao Qi stuffed another piece of silver, and saw that the size of this piece of silver could be more than ten taels, his heart trembled, but he still pushed his hands: "Ah no, no, no, the second master, it is impossible, as the so-called merit is not punished, you don't burn incense and don't worship the Buddha, how can I ask for your silver? Besides, what did you just say? Visit a friend in my temple? I don't understand, I don't understand it, there is no one else in my temple! I'm alone, how can this be your friend?"

As soon as the Taoist priest said this, the two heads of the Zhao family were stunned, and they turned to look at Sikong Tianshuo on the side: "Sikong Sect Leader, are you sure which master is here? Why did this master say that he was not there? What is going on? You can't be misremembering, right?"

Sikong Tianshuo blinked, and he took a few steps forward: "Dao Chief, I will definitely not be mistaken." That friend explained that if you were looking for him, you would go to the Guandi Temple three miles southwest of Liuyan Town, and there was only one Guandi Temple near Liuyan Town, how could you say that there was no such thing?"

The Taoist priest spread his hands: "Sikong Sect Head, I didn't deceive you, you also saw that the incense in my Guandi Temple is not vigorous, so I don't even have an apprentice until now, and I don't make many friends?

Hearing what the Taoist priest said, the two heads of the Zhao family were deflated, feeling that the strength in their bodies had been drained, and the two of them sat down at that time, and the two family members next to them hurriedly supported them.

This can't be blamed on these two heads of the family, in such a short period of time, they have suffered too many things in their hearts, first their son was abolished, and then they found that the opponent couldn't afford to provoke them at all, and then what happened when they treated their son's injuries, and now they have to bite the bullet to invite this so-called master, but at this time, they found that the other party was not here at all, how could this not make them mentally exhausted.

Sikong Tianshuo hurriedly came to the front of the two family masters: "Family master, are you two okay? Old man, don't watch from the side! Come and see, are they okay?"

Ghost Nanna has been thinking about what the Taoist priest just said, and looking at the Taoist priest's appearance, he doesn't look like he is lying. But since such a master has already made his words clear, why isn't he here at this time?

The ghost didn't take it over, but just glanced at it with his eyes: "Don't worry! They're fine, they're just a little mentally prostrate, it won't take long? Well, I think so! Since we are here, and the two heads of the house are like this, let's go to the temple to rest! Let the two heads of the house breathe down. ”

After the ghost finished speaking, he didn't wait for others to be willing, he walked straight into the Guandi Temple. Everyone saw him enter, and then followed him into the Guandi Temple, and finally left Lao Dao himself outside the temple gate.

The old Taoist priest watched the crowd walk in stunned, he smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: These people are really not used to outsiders! What does it matter? I now have fifteen taels of silver in my hand, which is not a loss. Lao Dao shook his head, since Zhao Qi didn't take back the silver, it was his own, he took the silver into his arms, and followed him into the temple gate.

Everyone entered the temple, the ghost was difficult to take the front, he walked into the hall first, and saw that the hall was offered to Guan Erye, this golden body is Guan Erye's posture of reading the Spring and Autumn Period at night, holding the Spring and Autumn Festival in one hand and holding the beard in the other, and poking the Qinglong Yanyue knife next to it. On the left and right sides of the main hall are banners, which were originally apricot yellow and painted with stars and runes, but now they are a little blurred. In front of the statue is the offering table, on which the incense burner, incense and candles are neatly placed, and there are five plates of offering fruits, these fruits are not very good offerings, they are all melons, fruits, pears and peaches, etc., and there are three worship mats in front.

Ghost Nanna looked at the idol in front of him, he didn't have the slightest intention of burning incense and kowtowing, his eyes turned to the statue, he looked behind the statue, behind the statue were two curtains, at this time Oni Nanna was obviously slightly stunned, he found that this curtain was a little different from other temples. There were two portraits of two people on this curtain, these two portraits were very faint, but the ghost was difficult to take the eyes very well, although the curtain fluttered slightly, but he still saw clearly, these two portraits were of an old man and a handsome young man respectively.

Ghost Nanna frowned slightly, he looked at the old Taoist priest on the side: "Dao Chief, your Guan Emperor Temple is very special! Why are there two immortals behind this Guan Second Master?

Sikong Tianshuo shook his head impatiently: "I said, old man, what are we here for? Aren't we here to invite people? What are you asking for this useless purpose? What kind of gods do you care about in this temple?"

Ghost Nan glanced at Sikong Tianshuo: "What you said, do everyone have curiosity? I look curious, can't I ask?"

But at this moment, Ghost Nanna's back couldn't help but tighten, a trace of cold sweat slipped down his back, and he pinched his thigh hard, wondering if he was dreaming. Because just when the ghost was looking at the portrait of the young man, he obviously noticed that the portrait winked at him and smiled, you say how scary this is, a portrait will laugh, this is also too weird. Oni Nanna gritted his teeth and shook his head, wanting to see again, is it dazzling?

At this moment, the old man stepped forward, and he muttered as he walked: "Portrait? No! This curtain is just ordinary white gauze! Is there too much dust, or is it the traces of aromatherapy? This benefactor, you are dazzled! What is the portrait on it?"

As he spoke, Lao Dao walked to the front of the two curtains, and while dusting them with his sleeves, he looked at them carefully, and after looking at them for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, this is really strange, I clean this curtain almost every day, why didn't I find the portrait on it? Who changed it for me? No, who would have nothing to do with this?"

After listening to the old Taoist priest's words, he stepped forward in a few steps and walked to the front of the curtain, and looked at it carefully from top to bottom.

The ghost man grabbed the old Taoist priest's wrist and dragged the old Taoist priest aside: "Daoist, are you sure that there was no such portrait on this curtain before?

The old Taoist priest frowned: "Donor, you ask this, I really don't know, how old is the poor Dao, and his eyes are a little bad, if you don't pay attention to this, you really can't see it." If you really want to ask? I remember yesterday morning before the portrait appeared on the mantle, because the sun was already out when I was cleaning, and the light was better, and I am sure that it was not there at that time. ”

Ghost Nanna listened to the words of the old Taoist, his pupils couldn't help but shrink for a while, his eyes slowly turned to the mantle, his heart was a strong jump, he was now churning in his heart, although people in the martial arts don't believe in ghosts and gods, but what happened in front of him was too weird, which couldn't help but surprise him.
