Chapter 84 Apprenticeship

five days later

After traveling around Renjia Town and surrounding villages, Jiang Chen finally found a remote mountain village at the foot of a big mountain - Lijia Village.

The villagers in this mountain village rarely communicate with the outside world. They are basically self-sufficient, with men farming and women weaving.

The point is, this village is haunted!

It is said that many people have died, but most of the old people in the village are unwilling to leave their hometown because of their deep love for their hometown.

In fact, the main reason is that the people left in the village have no skills. Apart from being able to support themselves by farming here, they cannot survive in other places.

When they go to a new place, they are unfamiliar with it, they don’t have their own land to cultivate, and they are not like young men who can make a breakthrough.

So even though Lijia Village is haunted, many people still stay.

This is also the reason why Jiang Chen came to Lijia Village this time, to find a man who was killed by a ghost and make him the uncle he wanted to seek refuge with.

In this way, you can complete your identity and background in this world, and if Uncle Jiu and others come to investigate, there will be no loopholes.

Now, the most important thing is how to find a dead person who meets Jiang Chen's various conditions.

……

Walking into Lijia Village, a gust of cold wind blew by. Jiang Chen felt a chill on his back. White cloths hanging in front of many houses were fluttering in the wind, as if the dead were welcoming Jiang Chen's arrival.

Feeling that he could take out the Adamantium alloy dagger and vibranium shield from the watch space at any time, Jiang Chen felt somewhat confident and began to walk into the village.

But after walking for a long time, Jiang Chen found strangely that in broad daylight, he didn't meet anyone on the road!

Even if all the young people in the village have left, this place shouldn't be so deserted.

With caution, Jiang Chen knocked on the door of a house with a white cloth hanging in front.

Dong dong dong

"Is anyone home?"

Dong dong dong

"Hello, I'm here to see my uncle, he's not a bad person."

Dong dong dong

After knocking on the door three times, Jiang Chen didn't hear any movement in the house, and his inner caution suddenly reached its highest level.

This place is so weird!

With doubts, Jiang Chen gave up knocking on the door and turned around to try another house without a white cloth hanging.

But at this moment, a face full of wrinkles appeared in front of Jiang Chen!

What the hell!

Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to take out the dagger from the watch space, but stopped at the critical moment.

The other party was able to quietly appear behind him just now without him noticing at all. This in itself is extremely abnormal!

Moreover, before I knocked on the door just now, I didn't find anyone on the street. How could this old man come without making a sound?

unless he is...

"Young man, are you here to see your uncle?"

An old man with a wrinkled face and rags was hunched over, leaning on a cane, looking up at Jiang Chen, revealing his mouth with few teeth left.

After guessing the old man's true identity, Jiang Chen, he suppressed the shock in his heart and prepared to remain unchanged in response to any changes, so as not to arouse the old man's suspicion.

"Old man, do you know what happened here? Why didn't I see anyone when I came all the way here?"

"Oh, this is a long story. Young man, my legs and feet are not good, so you might as well go to my house and listen to me. I will tell you slowly."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen had goosebumps all over his body.

A ghost invites you to sit at its home, will you go?

Jiang Chen didn't know whether his own methods could deal with the ghost in front of him, so he didn't act rashly, but stepped forward to hold the old man's arm and said

"Old man, where is your home? I will help you there."

"Thank you, young man, my home is not far ahead."

After saying that, the old man let Jiang Chen support him and slowly walked towards the house in front...

……

10 minutes later

Jiang Chen walked out of the dilapidated house, holding a rag in his hand.

Looking at the ghost trapped in the rag space, Jiang Chen showed a hint of ridicule on his face.

"Seeing that you have given me a lot of useful information, I will spare your life for the time being."

After speaking, Jiang Chen threw the rag into his watch space.

Six minutes ago, Jiang Chen sent the old man back to his house. The two of them sat at the table and chatted for a while when the old man showed his original shape and opened his big mouth to swallow Jiang Chen.

But how could Jiang Chen, who had been on guard for a long time, fall for the trick? He threw the rag on the table towards the old man.

While Jiang Chen was chatting with the old man, he carved out a space in the rags, which was enough to accommodate this evil ghost.

In this way, Jiang Chen used a piece of rag to kill an evil ghost who tried to kill him.

From the evil ghost's mouth, Jiang Chen also got some information, that is, all the people in Lijia Village who did not escape were eaten by the evil ghost.

On the way, many young people who left the village paid money to hire Taoist priests to catch ghosts. However, because those young people were not experienced enough, the Taoist priests they hired were only half-experienced and were killed by the evil spirits.

From then on, no one came to Lijia Village. People outside only knew that Lijia Village was haunted, but did not know that all the people in Lijia Village were dead.

Until Jiang Chen found out about this haunted village from elsewhere.

He is the seventh living person the evil ghost has seen in the past month...

……

夜晚

Yizhuang, Renjia Town

Two apprentices, Jiu Shuzheng and Qiu Shengwencai, explained the matters related to moving Master Ren's father's grave in three days.

"Qiu Sheng, moving the grave in three days is the most important thing. You must prepare everything. You can't make any mistakes."

"Yes, Master"

"Wencai, Master Ren has made an appointment with me for tea tomorrow morning. When you arrive..."

Dong dong dong

Before Uncle Jiu finished speaking, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Qiu Sheng, go and take a look."

"Good Master"

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Qiu Sheng walked to the courtyard and opened the door. He saw the handsome guy who came to stay in Yizhuang a few days ago and gave him a pocket watch. He was breathing heavily at the moment, with sweat pouring down his face.

"Brother, help!"

When Jiang Chen saw Qiu Sheng open the door, he grabbed his hand and kept muttering:

"Save...save my uncle"

After saying that, Jiang Chen closed his eyes and lay on the ground.

With Jiang Chen's current physical fitness, in order to act realistically, he ran a full seventy or eighty kilometers, and his physical strength was basically exhausted.

But the results presented are naturally excellent.

When Qiu Sheng saw Jiang Chen fainted, he quickly helped him up, carried him behind his back, and ran into the main room.

"Master, come and save people. This is the guy who came to stay in our Yizhuang a few days ago. It looks like something happened to him."

Qiu Sheng put Jiang Chen on the chair in the main room. After hearing this, Uncle Jiu immediately walked to Jiang Chen, stretched out his hand to check his pulse, and said

"Wencai, go get a bowl of water."

"Yes, Master"

"Master, is this guy okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just short of breath, my pulse is messy, just take a rest and I'll be fine."

As soon as Uncle Jiu finished speaking, Wencai had already brought a bowl of water over.

After pressing Jiang Chen's hand a few times, Uncle Jiu picked up the water and fed it into Jiang Chen's mouth.

"cough cough"

Jiang Chen choked on a mouthful of water. When he woke up and saw Uncle Jiu next to him, he got up from the chair without saying a word, knelt in front of Uncle Jiu, saluted and said

"Please also ask the Taoist Master to accept me as his disciple!"

"Junior Bai Xiaofei, due to changes in his family, went to Lijia Village to seek refuge with his uncle Li Daniu. But who could have expected that evil spirits were at work in Lijia Village. My uncle was brutally poisoned, and even I almost died."

"I heard about the reputation of the Taoist Master on the way, and asked the Taoist Master to accept me as his disciple, and teach me how to punish ghosts and deal with evil, so that I can avenge my uncle!"
