Chapter XXVII
(a)
I went back to my room, and although it was not as brand new as the master's room, it was at least clean. After working for most of the day, I was also very tired, and I didn't rest much last night.
So I ran to the couch and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I found that I had slept darkly.
I quickly got up and walked outside. I don't know how Master has been sleeping for the past half day, whether he has eaten something hungry. Master is not as good as me, he will not be able to adapt to this mortal world.
I was stunned as soon as I opened the door.
With one hand behind him, the other hand holding a plate, his long black hair dyed over his shoulders, and he was standing at the door with his eyes half-drooping, the corners of his mouth gently raised, and he smiled faintly.
He shook my mind. It's like a soul rope, holding me tightly and unable to move.
Master Wu entered my room, and with a wave of his hand, the lights in the room lit up, illuminating a small corner. He put a plate of peach blossom cake and a pot of wine on the tray in his hand on the table, and said, "I tried a few other foods for the teacher, but these are more palatable than those that Xian'er asked for at noon." ”
Master, did he come to bring me food...... When I came back to my senses, I realized this serious problem, and I was terrified.
I stared at the plate of peach blossom cake and said, "Master wants to torture the disciples." ”
The master said disapprerovingly: "Eat, the immortals live for a long time, and they can't be tormented." ”
I took the peach blossom cake into my arms, looked at the master and then at the peach blossom cake. Master has some truth in what he said. But I always felt that it was inappropriate for Master to do this, and he was a little too kind to me as an apprentice.
Although I am the youngest disciple of Kunlun Mountain, and the master loves me, it is 10,000 should, but no matter how much the master loves the apprentice, he will never give the apprentice food and wine.
So while eating the peach blossom cake, I asked, "Why does Master be so good to the disciples?"
Master looked at me directly and said, "Xian'er doesn't know?"
That deep and heavy expression caused me to swallow the peach blossom cake in my mouth in a panic, but I couldn't swallow it, and said indiscriminately: "Foolish." ”
Every time Master had this expression, I would panic. I was afraid that if I couldn't control myself, I would have to ask Master why he looked at me like this, as if I had done something wrong, but I really couldn't think of what was wrong with me.
Master's words and deeds are so mysterious that I can't easily guess them.
He pondered for a while before he smiled to himself and said, "Naturally, it's because Xian'er is a disciple of the teacher." ”
After listening to Master's words, I really went down to my throat again, and I was speechless.
I thumped my chest, and the peach blossom cake was very uncomfortable in my throat. It's all because the master is so mysterious, I thought that something earth-shattering was going to come out of his mouth.
Master added a cup of tea to me and said, "Slow down." ”
What did he say...... It was as if I was choking on eating too fast. It made me very depressed.
After that, the master went out of the room and said, "Xian'er, the night is coming." ”
When the night comes, so do the demons. I understood what Master meant, simply packed myself up, and followed Master out of the inn.
(b)
This street, at night, the mortals have not dispersed, and it is a lively scene. There are two rows of red lanterns hanging on the side of the street, and the smoke makes the street red, so festive.
Didn't he say he was going out to hunt ghosts, Master...... However, as soon as I went out, I went to a crowded place. I was very afraid that he would be bumped into by the mortals who came and went, so I bent my arms to protect him along the way, and when I saw a mortal bumping into him, I hurriedly pinched and bounced the mortal away.
I was so tired that my back hurt, but Master and he enjoyed it very much.
The master said leisurely as he walked, "Should this mortal night be so lively?" ”
I said, "I heard that there is a bully young master in the city who is going to marry, so let's have a lively time in advance." Master, aren't we going to hunt ghosts, what are we doing here?"
Master raised the corners of his mouth and walked forward.
I gritted my teeth, how could this tongue be so evil, and I would talk nonsense when my heart was not smooth. I was so angry with myself that I twitched myself a few times in my heart, and continued to catch up with the master to escort his old man, while explaining, "Master, master, what the apprentice means is that this evil ghost will not go to crowded places, let's go to other places to find it." ”
The master stopped, and with a movement of his fingers, he dispersed the invisible crystal shield that I had painstakingly knotted on him, and brushed off my two arms protecting him, and said, "Follow the customs of the locals, don't be too restrained." ”
How can this be a local custom. I don't protect it, if some mortal covets the appearance of the master and hits the master's arms, wouldn't it be a great sin.
"Master, it's better to be careful, the mortal world has a complicated atmosphere, beware of turbidity. "I continue to pinch the trick to tie a shield on the master, and I will tie as much as he scatters, but I can't let mortals take advantage of it again.
Seeing that I was persevering, Master let me go. He said in front of him: "In the mortal world, you are a girl who protects me as a big man, and I am not afraid to teach idlers to gossip when they see it." ”
I said, "The gossip of mortals is very powerful, and we can't be like them, Master. ”
The master paused, and then smiled: "Xian'er is very reasonable. ”
Under the shadow of the lamp, I was a little dazed. I saw Master's side face, the corners of his mouth half raised. He didn't like to raise his eyes and look around in amazement, but he always kept his eyes half-down, and in those long, narrow eyes, it seemed that nothing in the world could enter his eyes.
I walked on Master's side and faintly smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms.
Being able to walk side by side with Master like this is a blessing that I have cultivated as an apprentice for tens of millions of years. If you return to Kunlun Mountain, you will not be able to exceed the rules like this again. I also owe a lot to Master, who tolerated my offense against him several times.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that it was a very difficult and blessed thing to be able to walk by Master's side.
(c)
Soon, we came to a river. There is a faint wind blowing on the riverbank, and a few Fenghua willows are rolled very enchantingly.
It was probably getting late, and there weren't many mortals left here. But in the river, there are beautiful white lotus lamps, and the faint and pure light is flashing in the lamps, which is very beautiful.
Master looked at the lotus lantern and asked me, "Didn't Xian'er say that the bully wanted to marry, shouldn't the people in the city dare to be angry and dare not speak, and they will celebrate so happily?"
I wondered for a moment. The woman obviously told me that during the day, and her expression at that time was so simple as daring to be angry and not daring to speak, it was as simple as biting whoever she saw.
But these lamps really don't look like they were put to celebrate the marriage of the bully, right...... I said, "I've heard that the bully family is very rich. ”
"Huh, what does that have to do with that?"
I said seriously: "Money can make the devil grind." "As long as you have money, what lotus lantern can't be put on?
The master laughed softly and said idly: "If these words are heard by the people in the ghost world, they have to find the theory of Kunlun Mountain." ”
I hurriedly covered my mouth and said, "Master, my apprentice is stupid. ”
Master added, "The lotus lanterns in this river are all put by mortals in order to fulfill their wishes. ”
I asked, "Do they all have to write their wishes on the lamp?" and I wanted to grab one and see what mortals wanted.
But Master suddenly stopped me. He said: "Xian'er must not do anything that is detrimental to the immortals. This lamp carries the vision of mortals, and they don't want others to peep at it. ”
I was a little dumbfounded, but Master was absolutely right. Master has lived a long time and experienced a lot, because he has more experience than me.
Master stood by the river for a while before he said, "Let's go." ”
I hurriedly followed and asked, "Master, where are we going to catch ghosts?"
Master asked me rhetorically, "Tell me first, did you notice the ghost's breath two days ago?"
Ghost's Breath...... What is it? I had never heard of what it was, let alone how it had been. But on the face of it, I can't say I don't know anything. Then I said, "Back to Master, the disciples have not sensed any ghost breath in the past two days. Didn't Emperor Donghua say that evil ghosts are a disaster for the world, and he has never heard of mortals in the world who died unexpectedly or made people panic. ”
Master said: "The evil ghost is obsessed when a person is about to die, and his soul does not want to go to the ghost world to be reincarnated after leaving his body, but avoids the ghost and wanders alone in the world. Anyone who disturbs the soul of the ghost world and the human world is an evil ghost. This kind of soul is too obsessed, and sooner or later it will do something wrong. ”
After Master's explanation, I felt a lot more cheerful. It turns out that evil spirits do not have to do evil, but may also do evil, so if you don't catch them quickly, you are afraid that there will be chaos.
I asked Master, "Then Master has detected the ghost's breath?"
Master raised his eyebrows and looked at me. I expected that Master was so powerful that it would not be difficult to find an evil ghost.
But after the master raised his eyebrows, he said to me, "I have never been a teacher." ”
This is a reasonable statement.
The master pinched an immortal trick and asked the two of us to hide the immortal body together, and said, "Let's go, Xian'er and the teacher will take a look around first." If the evil ghost can enter the mortal body and squeeze out the soul in the body itself, it will hide the ghost's breath, and even the gods will not be able to detect it. ”
With that, Master took me around with him.
(iv)
The sky gradually turned white, and Master and I returned to the inn.
The city wandered around for hours. Speaking of evil ghosts, there are some drunkards after the mortals on the empty streets have dispersed.
On the way, we passed by Fengfu. The bully's mansion that the people on the street secretly spurned.
It is said that the bully Feng Xi is doing all kinds of evil in the city, and I am very curious for a while, what kind of evil is the bully Feng Xi to the point where everyone is angry.
Master didn't say anything, but I could see that he was somewhat curious. As soon as I told him about the bully Feng Xi, he dragged me to the Feng Mansion.
The inside of the Feng Mansion is really big, but it is not as extravagant and obscene as I imagined. The clear water pond in the house and the corridor are not as luxurious and golden as the rumors outside.
At the corner of the corridor, a few dim lights reflected a sense of mystery in the whole mansion.
I asked the master on the side, "Master, what do you think?"
Master smiled faintly and said, "It's not like the rumors you inquired about. ”
I was very embarrassed, was Master saying that the rumors were wrong or that I was inquiring wrong?
Later, we stopped outside a courtyard in the Feng Mansion. A woman's voice sounded excited and cheerful.
Bully Feng Xi, robbed the people's girls on the street, and now it is normal for there to be women in this courtyard, I don't know which woman was robbed of the golden house and hid here.
When Master and I entered the courtyard together, we were stunned.
