final stage

Si Wudu walked towards Yi Moran with dull eyes, sat obediently in front of Yi Moran, and let him fiddle with smearing cinnabar.

Yi Moran carefully took out the cinnabar from the box, sprinkled it on Si Wudu's wound little by little, and rubbed it gently with trembling fingers.

Si Wudu didn't care if it hurt or not, he just looked up at the starry sky, the black mist that appeared because of the corpse just now dissipated, and the house was in the woods again, looking at the sky through the layers of leaves , The stars are dotted, and the surrounding clouds have to avoid their sharpness.At the end of summer, the chirping of cicadas could still be heard, but because of the evil spirit here, only one or two mournful chirping could be heard, and the night returned to tranquility, but no one felt scary or uneasy.

Si Wudu was so contented, but he broke Yi Moran who was rubbing cinnabar on him.The whole process was heartbroken and blushed, Yi Moran didn't know why, looking at the uninjured part of his back, the roots of his ears turned red quietly.Realizing his abnormality, Yi Moran immediately recited the Qingxin Mantra in his heart, but luckily he didn't get embarrassed.

It took a quarter of an hour to take care of it. Yi Moran exhaled heavily, and said relaxedly: "Wudu, I've taken care of the injury on your back. It's getting dark, let's go back to the inn first?"

Si Wudu recovered from the scenery in the sky, and he was also a little worried: "The injury on your back?" Si Wudu couldn't forget the way Yi Moran's face turned pale from the pain just now.

Yi Moran smiled again: "It's okay, thanks to Wudu's herbal medicine, my wound recurrence tonight is only due to the violent outburst of my cultivation base, I will keep it for one night, and tomorrow I will be able to adjust my breath and meditate for a day, and there will be no serious problems."

"Well, I'll be with you all the way tomorrow, and you must cultivate well before going after Sheqing." Si Wudu specially warned, Yi Moran couldn't resist him, so he had to agree.

Both stood up, supported each other and walked back slowly.The moon hanging in the sky cast down the bright light softly, gradually elongating the shadows of the two...

But at this moment, there is light rain in Yehang Capital, the sound of the rain is very clean, when you close your eyes, it's like coming to the wet rainy season in the south, the wet stories of the past are like fog, reverberating in this small town faintly. every corner.

Lu Xihui brought Zhu Yucheng back to his solitary wooden house at the foot of the mountain. Under the soft and dim candlelight, Zhu Yucheng sat at the table to adjust his breath, while Lu Xihui looked at him obsessively.I don't know whether this young scholar is thinking about the future or the person in front of him...

"Daozhang, are you hungry?" Lu Xihui finally asked after waiting for an hour.

"If you're hungry, go get something to eat. It will take a quarter of an hour."

Lu Xihui nodded immediately, turned around and left the room.In fact, Zhu Yucheng's breath adjustment has already healed, but his mood has not been so peaceful for a long time.Looking at the wisps of green smoke slowly rising from the chimney, Zhu Yucheng felt a peace that he had never felt before. Even if he stayed in Zhuyuan Temple for the past few years, it was only a day-to-day practice tomorrow. How could he experience this world? fireworks?

The arrogance in Zhu Yucheng's heart was completely defeated at this moment.However, it is only at this moment.He stared blankly at the distant mountains, forgetting the time.

Until Lu Xihui walked into the room with a plate of green vegetables, he saw Zhu Yu's serious appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Daoist? I'm afraid the master Daoist has been in the audience for a long time, and he has forgotten the smell of fireworks in the green mountains and the human world." Right." This sentence was like a gurgling brook flowing into his heart, and Zhu Yucheng also said helplessly: "Yeah, after all these years, I really haven't really seen this great mountain and river very well."

Lu Xi smiled back and stopped disturbing him.He was busy all by himself, but fortunately he was used to these tasks, so he greeted Zhu Yucheng for dinner after a while.

Facing the simple but fragrant dishes on the table, Zhu Yucheng was not puzzled. He knew that Lu Xihui lost his mother in his early years and had no wife or children, so he had to do all the daily necessities of life by himself.

He didn't talk much in the first place, and Lu Xihui also practiced not talking when sleeping or eating, so when the two of them ate, they could only hear the sound of rain and music.

"Why do you want to be a Taoist priest?" Lu Xihui heard Zhu Yucheng's question as soon as he returned to the house after packing up the dishes.His smiling face was a little broken: "Didn't the Taoist priest ask in the daytime? I just want to serve the country."

Zhu Yucheng laughed, stood up and walked to the window: "We Taoist priests, although we deal with ghosts all day long, are not fools. Originally, Supervisor Chen promised you that he would definitely give you an official position, so why shouldn't you do so. "

Lu Xi wanted to refute, but there was nowhere to refute. After struggling for a while, he said slowly: "Actually, my parents were killed by a female ghost in red five years ago. We don't live here, we used to live in the village, but ever since the ghost in red came out of the village, everyone in the village ran away to death.

At that time, I was studying everywhere, and only when I came back did I know that such a big event had happened.Later, it was the master of your Bamboo Fate Temple who gave you a talisman, which saved the few remaining villagers.We didn't dare to go back to that place, so...we each found a place to settle down. "

"What?!" Zhu Yucheng suddenly asked loudly, "Our temple master? How is it possible? He has never left the customs before." Lu Xihui was taken aback, and after hearing the question clearly, he explained: "Yes Entrusting a dream. The master of Zhuyuan Temple entrusted me with a dream, and taught me the skill of drawing that talisman." Zhu Yucheng then nodded, and everything made sense.According to the temperament of his own temple master, if one party is in trouble, even if he is in retreat, his heart can fly thousands of miles.

If it was usual, Zhu Yucheng would have satirized him in his heart, but this time, thinking that it was Yi Moran who saved Lu Xihui, he suddenly felt grateful and afraid. "No wonder you changed your mind and decided to become a disciple of Zhuyuan Temple, but...becoming a Taoist priest will lead to three disadvantages and five disadvantages." Zhu Yucheng reminded him.

Lu Xihui smiled sadly: "Now that my parents are both dead, I have no intention of marrying a wife, so what's the matter?" Zhu Yucheng's pupils shrank, and finally he stopped talking.

Lu Xi looked back at Zhu Yucheng who had been silent for a long time, teasing him in his heart that he only knows how to adjust breath.He naturally knew that it was not easy to become a disciple of Zhu Yuan Guan, and he still didn't know how Zhu Yucheng would torture him in the next few days.Sighing, Lu Xi went back to make the bed.

It's a pity that before going to bed, Zhu Yu declared that he would practice outside the house to heal his injuries, so he left Lu Xihui alone in the house.

Zhu Yu went up the mountain, found a dark and damp cave, and began to practice secret techniques.The originally dark and rainy night also became weird because of Zhu Yucheng's presence.

Since Zhu Yucheng accidentally saw the secret method in his mind three years ago, he started a long training.
