The Taoist priest is haunted by evil spirits

The next morning they got up, packed up and went downstairs to eat, and they heard the comments of other tourists in the lobby.

"Did you hear any movement? It seems to be a man shouting and a dog barking." One person said.

"Oh, don't mention it, my kid was always afraid of dogs, not to mention that the dog barked so much, it scared him so much that he didn't sleep well in the middle of the night. No, the kid is still watching him sleep from above!" Another One person said again.

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Guest officer, I heard from the watchman that the door of someone's room was left open last night, and a mad dog entered and bit him. But don't worry, we have killed that mad dog."

Seeing that this was the case, everyone felt relieved, and after chatting for a few words, they never mentioned it again.

The three of them knew that it wasn't a mad dog biting people last night, that the dog was just dragged out to act as a substitute for the dead. Seeing that everyone believed it, they thought that the village chief's method could really be called "vigorous and resolute".

The truth is already in the hands of a few people, and these few people have common interests, so they naturally share the same hatred, and they have long thought of a way to deal with it.

If only a few people know about the same thing, and if these few people can strictly guard against it, then this matter will never be known for a lifetime, unless——others hear it.Now these three "others" are still thinking about how to handle this matter properly.

These people who have been poor know how terrible poverty is to them, like tarsal maggots, like a brand carved in their bones and blood, so they will try their best to stop anything that can pull them back into the abyss of poverty people or things.

It was raining and it was time for routine handling. Lu Jingyu planned to send a letter to Yiyun School, asking Si Jingyan to help "take care" of Fang Jingyue, and Ying Yi sent an eagle to deliver the letter to Yiyun.

After receiving the letter, Si Jingyan thought that he might be able to tell Zhiyi about his parents after a while, so he went to the forbidden area.Compared with Lu Jingyu, he was much less aggressive. Before he left, in order to show "take good care" - in fact, he didn't know what to do - he put a cake around Fang Jingyue's neck, and told him to eat slowly, in Lu Jingyu's absence The other party is taken care of by him throughout the day.

Climbing the mountain in the rain is not so comfortable. There are very few people entering the mountain on this day, and most of them choose to rest indoors.Yan Xiao opened the window and saw that every leaf of the big tree outside the window was washed bright by the rain. The wind was fresh and cool, which cleared up his chaotic mind because he didn't sleep well.

Lu Jingyu brought out the scripture book left by his senior brother, and sat at the table to read the scriptures. At this time, he saw Ying Yi also took a book and sat on the bed to read it.

Ying Yi felt that Lu Jingyu was looking at him, so he stood up the book and shook it. When Lu Jingyu saw the cover of the book, he immediately turned his head away—there were three large characters on the cover: Jin|Pingmei.

He suddenly thought of the sentence that Ying Yi said that morning, "We can watch together lying in bed in the future". If the face can change color, then he must be constantly switching between black, red and green, like a large humanoid. Go around.

Ying Yi didn't do anything else, just showed Lu Jingyu the cover and continued to read the book, as if he just showed off that he bought the last book that was in short supply in the bookstore.

Seeing that Ying Yi didn't deliberately anger him anymore, Lu Jingyu coughed lightly to cover up the discomfort just now, lowered her head and continued to read.

It rained all day, from the time they had breakfast until they had dinner.In the evening, the rain became heavier, from continuous drizzle to torrential rain, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

In the gap between thunder and thunder, Ying Yi heard the man's cry again, the voice was low and hoarse, and if described by an object, it looked like a dry old dishcloth in the kitchen.

Ying Yi said: "I heard someone shouting again, let's go out and have a look!"

They took their umbrellas and hurried to the direction where the sound came from. There was a man lying on the ground in the rain, dressed in rags, and several villagers stood around to observe the situation.

When they saw the man, they were horrified—the man had only one eye left, and the other eye had been gouged out, leaving only bloody eye sockets, his chest heaved slightly, and only the breath was left. angry.

Ying Yi hurriedly asked: "Who is this person? How could he be injured here?"

A villager sighed: "My lord, you are an outsider, so you don't know the wild cats in our Lu'an Mountains. The wild cats are extremely vicious. This man's eyes were injured by the wild cats."

Another villager said: "This person seems to be a beggar from a nearby town. He came here a while ago and has no fixed place to live."

He took a closer look and said in surprise: "It's him! That beggar's tongue was cut off earlier, what a pity, why did he suffer such a disaster!"

The three of them had the experience of the previous day, and they didn't believe the so-called "wild cat hurting people" excuse at all, but the latter sentence was still credible.The beggar was dying and still unable to speak, so it was impossible to ask who killed him from his mouth.

It's just that the few villagers who came here, although they were not the ones at night, chose the same measure to keep silent in the face of the murder case, which made them feel a little chilled.

Seeing that they did not leave, the villagers said: "Don't worry, the three sons. We will take care of him for a while. If he can't make it through... we will collect this body."

"Okay." Lu Jingyu said, "Then let's go first." Then he planned to go around to observe them quietly.

They were walking on the road, and found a child under a corner of the roadside piled with sundries. The child was sitting on the ground and curled up in a ball, and seemed to be crying softly.

Yan Xiao hurriedly asked: "Little brother, what's the matter with you? Whose child is it, why are you staying here?"

The child raised his head, and Yan Xiao saw that it was the idiot son of the He family that he saw at night.

The child shrank back and said incoherently, "I...don't rush...I'm not a fool...come out to play..."

Yan Xiao hurriedly moved the umbrella to the child's head, and comforted him: "Little brother, don't be afraid, we are visiting from other places, we are not bad people, can you speak slowly if you have something to say?"

The child lowered his head in silence for a while, then slowly raised his head.He was dressed plainly, his face and body were clean, his eyes were a little red from crying, and he looked a little timid.He said: "My name is He Zhang, and I am eight years old."

Lu Jingyu asked, "Your surname is He? Is it from Sister He's house that sells tofu?"

He Zhang said slowly: "Yes... I just want to go out for a stroll."

Yan Xiao said with concern: "But there are no children on the street now, and it's still raining, how can you play alone?"

He seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Little brother, you just speak slowly, I think you are still very smart." He thought for a while, and finally suppressed the sentence "You don't look like a fool at all." "No.

He Zhang said: "Other kids say I'm a born fool...but I'm not..."

All three were surprised.

Ying Yi asked: "Not born? What's going on?"

Seeing that he was too anxious, he slowed down and said, "Speak slowly."

He Zhang said: "My father...Although my father is stupid, he keeps hitting me...Even if he can't even speak clearly, he still hits me...One time he hit me hard on the head, and after that I would sometimes twitch Then pass out."

Yan Xiao felt sad, thinking of the scene of Mrs. He holding her head and crying helplessly with her child that night, and seeing the child He Zhang crying alone in the rain. It was the first time he heard with his own ears that there was such a father who hated his child in the world .

He reached out and touched He Zhang's head, and asked, "Does your mother usually not let you go out?"

He Zhang wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and said: "When other children saw me like this, they didn't want to talk to me, beat me, and then sued that I bullied them, and those people came to our house... She was wronged, and she only came out for a while when it rained... But I really want to play with them, not alone..."

Yan Xiao also wanted to ask He Zhang why his mother was still with this kind of husband, wouldn't it be better to live with him alone?

But he remembered what Lu Jingyu had asked him, and felt that he could not make decisions for others without authorization.If you want to ask the other party’s thoughts, you must first think of a countermeasure, otherwise the final result will be the same whether you ask or not, and sometimes even give the other party hope in vain and let the hope be shattered.

So Yan Xiao didn't say anything in the end, and only comforted: "Then you stay here for a while, and we will send you back later."

Not far away, a woman came rushing over with an umbrella. Ying Yi saw that it was Mrs. He. Her shoes were covered with muddy water, and the hem of her dress was also soaked in rain. It seemed that she was in a hurry to find her child. .

Mrs. He pulled He Zhang up, wiped He Zhang's hair with a towel, and thanked them: "Thank you three young masters for helping us take care of Zhang, may I ask him just now..."

"It's okay, it's just that the child has something on his mind." Lu Jingyu replied.

Mrs. He thanked them again and took He Zhang back.Yan Xiao saw that He Zhang was not the "little fool" that everyone said, but very sensible, so that Mrs. He could rely on him, and the two could depend on each other.

Seeing that the two had left, Lu Jingyu said, "Let's go to the tree last time to see if there is anything else tonight."

The three of them flew to the tree and looked at it for a long time, and found nothing unusual, so they planned to go back first.The rain was still heavy, the thunder was rumbling, and there was no one on the street.

At this time, Ying Yi suddenly dawdled, and he said to Yan Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, you go back first, and I will watch with your master for a while."

Yan Xiao was a little puzzled, but thinking that his uncle would not cheat him, he went back first.

When Yan Xiao's figure disappeared into the distance, Lu Jingyu jumped onto the sword and asked, "What are you trying to do? I'm leaving."

Ying Yi said: "Well... can you follow me under the tree, or you can hug me down."

"A bird demon like you is afraid of heights? What's more, this tree is not tall." Lu Jingyu didn't believe it, and turned to leave.

Seeing that Lu Jingyu was about to leave, he quickly said: "When I was young, I ran to the Human Realm Mountain to play as soon as I was able to transform into my original form. As a result, there was lightning and thunder that night. I was scared and couldn't change back. I was trapped in the big tree I didn't dare to come down for a whole night...today there was thunder, and I was in a tree again, can you...catch me below?"

Ying Yi didn't lie this time, he was really afraid of thunder.At that time, his father and other people discussed clan affairs overnight, and he secretly ran out to play without telling his brother and sister, and lost the token of contacting the clan.

In the end, his father came to find him, and he was punished when he returned.Because of that experience, he felt scared when he saw a thunderstorm, let alone climbing a tree during a thunderstorm.

When Yan Xiao was here just now, Ying Yi didn't want to be ashamed in front of his nephew, so he didn't show it. Now that Yan Xiao is gone, he hugged the tree and let himself tremble.

Lu Jingyu saw that Ying Yi was really scared, so he stepped on the ground with his sword. Anyway, he could clean the shoes with a small spell, so he could pretend not to care.

He moved a little closer, opened his arms and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell my apprentice that you are afraid of this?"

Ying Yiman replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, your handle is also in my hands."

Hearing Ying Yi's strange accent, Lu Jingyu made a gesture to leave.

Ying Yi hastily softened and said: "My little one is wrong, Master Jing Yu, A Yu, Brother Yu, catch me quickly."

Lu Jingyu opened his arms again, and Ying Yi stared at it for a while before jumping down with confidence.

The moment he jumped down, Lu Jingyu took a big step back, and with a "slap", Ying Yi just fell to the ground, his eyes were staring and his face was covered in mud.

"Lu Jingyu!"

"Who told you to talk nonsense just now? Think about it, if you didn't say that, you might have been caught by me." Lu Jingyu was very proud, and Yu Jian left.

Yan Xiao was in the room thinking about what happened just now, when he saw his master and uncle coming in together, the master was refreshed, but his uncle was in a particularly distressed state, and the alarm bells rang in his heart instantly.

He comforted: "Uncle, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Jingyu said: "You still speak for him? He should suffer." When he thought that his apprentice had only known this so-called uncle for a few days and was about to defect, he felt a little uncomfortable.Moreover, my apprentice didn't even know what happened to his master, and it wasn't all because of his shameless uncle!

"Yes, your master is right, I deserve it, I deserve it." Ying Yi put on a flattering look, took the basin and fetched water.

Yan Xiao felt that he still liked girls, but he probably read the "not interested" book, and combined with the plots in the love novels he read, he deduced that this was probably the case: because of his wrong decision that night, The uncle went to take care of the master, and then the master gave the uncle to him with the help of alcohol... Afterwards, the master was still very cold and ignored the uncle. If the plots in those novels are followed, it is very likely that he will end up in chaos and abandonment in the end.

The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, and the more he felt that he should have kept it a secret from the beginning, and kept these two people from knowing each other's existence.All kinds of things were in a mess in his mind, and he simply closed his eyes and meditated to calm himself down.

Ying Yi and Lu Jingyu were still thinking about He Zhang they just met.It is not easy for a weak woman to bear the burden of supporting the family alone, and her husband beats her son, and she may be beaten by her husband in normal times.But without the help of her husband, would she have been able to resist Liu Er that night as a woman?

There might be other ways to make her life a little easier.Fate says it is fair, but it is not. Some people only see the generous gifts of fate, while others only add the sufferings of fate, the little pains of the lucky people and the unfortunate people. A little happiness on the body is really nothing compared to it.

Because for some people, some things are just an insignificant side dish among the delicacies of mountains and seas, while for others, they are just a little spark in the long night.There are many people who have never seen such sparks in their lives.
