Catching the Fox

At dawn, Second Master Shen tidied up again, then took his big knife and said goodbye to his waist.

Going back to the inner room, he looked at Yuan Bao who was sleeping soundly.

Yuanbao is a ray of soul, which is what ordinary people call ghosts.

Shen Erye is well versed in the Yin and Yang roads. After meeting Yuan Bao, he recited the Diamond Sutra for 49 days and helped him achieve an entity.

It's just that Yuan Bao walks lightly, and when the wind blows, he will float even more violently, so Second Master Shen named him Yuan Bao to add some weight to his soul.

Second Master Shen left Shen's house, rode to the suburbs, and went to look for that small thatched hut. According to what Yuan Bao said, the place where he found the head was near the small thatched hut by the side of the mountain road.

It was cloudy and rainy that day, and when we arrived at the small road, we saw those big green pines and the small thatched hermitage with a very quiet layout.

Second Master Shen wanted to go in, but he was afraid that he would be rude to the host.

I had no choice but to straighten up and look into the courtyard, and saw a furry triangular head sticking out, with lacquered eyes that were very agile and somewhat familiar.

Second Master Shen thought it was a puppy, so he rode his horse along the gravel path to the little grass hut without thinking too much.

At this time, Shen Erye hadn't realized that all the scenes he saw were in his consciousness. In order to find out where the white fox spirit body was buried, the elders and village chiefs of Fox Village used black magic in Shen Erye. Second Master Shen had been walking back and forth on this mountain road for a day and a night.

The light rain hit the face thinly, making people unable to open their eyes.

Second Master Shen rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, there really wasn't any small hermitage, it was actually a solitary tomb.

Second Master Shen thought about the gloomy sky yesterday, did he misread a large tomb covered with withered grass as someone else's house?

Second Master Shen thought about it again, he had Yin-Yang eyes, and through the Yin-Yang Road, the Yin-Yang Road intertwined and connected, and he could see it wrong.

However, I still felt a little strange in my heart, so I reined in my horse and ran towards Fox Village.

"Is the sacrifice that the village chief talked about these few days?" Second Master Shen asked.

The village chief has gray hair and piercing eyes. He is a lively man.

The village head brought a pot of freshly brewed tea, poured the tea, and said: "The rule left by the ancestors is that the sacrifice should be held on a full moon day after the autumn harvest. It has been rainy these days and the moon cannot be seen There is no rush for this month, it is feasible to wait for the next month."

The village head handed a bowl of hot tea to Shen Erye, and said, "Come and warm up, one autumn rain and one cold."

Shen Erye asked: "You told me yesterday that after divination, this time the sacrificial meeting will "see blood". Can you explain it in more detail?"

The village chief said worriedly: "This is 'seeing blood'. Several old people in the clan said that when the ancestors sacrificed, they used living people as sacrifices. I moved away from this place to take refuge. There was a disagreement among the people in the clan, and I don’t know whether to leave or stay.”

Second Master Shen suddenly remembered something, and asked the village chief, "I saw a new tomb under the green pine on the mountain road. I don't know which family it belongs to. Why didn't I enter the ancestral tomb?"

The village head smiled lightly, as if he knew about it a long time ago, and said with a light sigh: "Probably they are passing businessmen who came to other places to make a living and don't want to bury their bones here. If there are family members, someone will come to move in a year or two." Grave."

The more Second Master Shen asked, the more strange he felt. The village chief didn't speak clearly, but he still asked himself for help. Second Master Shen was displeased and got up to leave.

Second Master Shen's words made the village chief reaffirm that the soul of the fox was buried at the entrance of the village.

The village chief and several elders stepped up to the altar, intending to kill Shen Erye, and then catch the spirit fox

soul body.

As soon as Shen Erye left the village with his horse, it was dark when he arrived at the entrance of the village.

A layer of dark clouds suddenly covered the ground, like an upside-down pot, covering people for cooking.

Second Master Shen hurried on, and the black cloud followed closely behind, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Second Master Shen saw a few pine trees on the other side of the road from a distance, and under the pine trees there was a small, low thatched hermitage, with flowers and plants planted on the left and right, and a gravel path leading directly to the door, which looked exquisite.I don't know who lives in it.

The black cloud followed more and more closely, Second Master Shen no longer hesitated to tighten the reins and turned his horse's head to run under the few green pines and old trees.

All of a sudden, he sat alone in the hermitage, and Shen Erye said to himself: "Isn't this a tomb?"

Seeing Yuan Bao coming in from the door, he said with a smile, "Second Lord came early today, it's not dark yet."

Second Master Shen asked suspiciously, "Yuan Bao, do you live here?"

Yuan Bao smiled and said, "Yes, isn't this the tomb that the second master built for me?"

Shen Erye asked again: "Aren't you staying at my house today?"

On the contrary, Yuan Bao became puzzled, and said, "Three days have passed, how can I live in the second master's house all the time?"

"You found that head outside the yard, why didn't you tell me," Second Master Shen asked Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao said: "Didn't the second master tell me that I don't want to talk about it with others when I live here, and don't talk about it when I'm outside. If I have to mention it, I say '...there is a light...and there is no light'. Second Master, you once said, my land, if you leave the enchantment, no one else will be able to enter or see it. Today, Master himself forgot. "

Yuan Bao scolded: "Second Master has been acting weird these few days. I don't know if he drank the psychedelic soup somewhere and left Hun'er for someone to pay for the soup. He lost his soul and forgot which way the door opened."

As Yuan Bao said, he turned into a little fluffy fox, and after two hops, he jumped onto Second Master Shen's lap, and Qi Qi snuggled into his arms.

The second master held the little fox in his arms, and asked with a smile: "Are you a fox or a ghost, my master's mind has been blurred for the past few days, I'm afraid someone will lower his head for you, let's think about it for you. "

Second Master Shen got up while talking, and carried the little fox on his shoulders. He felt weak and wanted to sleep very much. He got on the couch and said vaguely: "Sleep with Master for a while. After Master has enough sleep, his mind will wake up. Once he wakes up, I just remembered where our home is."

Yuan Bao is now a ghost and a fox.

When Yuan Bao was still alive, he was a little vixen with superficial knowledge. He often played in the mountains and wild places. After turning into a human form, he often went down the mountain to the market places to have fun.

But I didn't want to meet Second Master Shen one day when I was in chaos. At that time, Second Master Shen opened his ghost eyes and saw him, so he said to him: "Do you know the way home? I will take you back,"

At this time, Yuan Bao knew that he was dead, but he didn't know how. After a long time, he didn't even know where he threw the body, and now he can't find it.

Second Master Shen took pity on him, built a tomb for him, and found him a job as a ghost official. Second Master Shen said: "Even if you don't have family worship, you have to learn to support yourself."

Shen Erye asked the ghost messenger to take care of Yuanbao to prevent Yuanbao from running around and if anything went wrong.Because I always have official duties on my body, it is hard to guard against it.

But Second Master Shen would come to sit with him every now and then, and every time he came, he would bring him some clothes and fruit, so Yuanbao was never short of anything.
