The "monster" kicked his legs, slumped on the ground, and wailed loudly, the cry was earth-shattering, and the waves of sound spread out, almost overturning the stage of the show.

The two children looked at the "monster" blankly, but they didn't feel scared at all. One of them even reached out and wanted to pat the "monster" on the foot.

Comfort it, make it stop crying.

With a flick of Bai Zhun's fingertips, the paper figurine on the stage jumped off the stage and landed in a somersault. Several little monkeys jumped and ran to the "monster".

The little monkeys turned around the "monster" and showed him somersaults. The monster was attracted by the eyes, and gradually stopped crying. It lifted the red cloth on its head.

Sure enough, there are two heads.

Only half of its body can move, with eyes open on one face and eyes closed on the other face, and its movements are supported by the active half.

What Bai Zhun said is right, one soul is inside and the other is outside.

The paper man circled around it, and the "monster" became smaller and smaller, until it was as tall as a five-year-old child. Although it had a human form again, its skin was blue, as if it had grown a shell.

The two children walked up to it and sat down beside it, four of them side by side, with the children's little hands resting on the "monster's" arm.

Its happiest memory turned out to be the memory of watching a theater with its brothers when it was locked in the small building. With this memory, it came down safely.

Turning two heads to watch the little monkey do somersaults, clapping four hands, "clucking" out of the mouth, making the innocent laughter unique to young children.

Huo Zhenye held Bai Zhun's hand, fearing that he would pull it back, he stroked it as soon as he held it: "You are a man with a hard mouth and a soft heart."

Bai Zhun struggled, but failed to break free, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to speak stubbornly: "The Qimen Zhazhi is originally intended to soothe the grieving spirits and send the dead souls away."

Huo Zhenye chuckled lightly, his eyes touched Bai Zhun's lips, after kissing once, he wanted to kiss from time to time, now it's over.

After somersaulting, the little monkeys piled up the arhats and ran one by one, stepping on their shoulders to form a pagoda shape.

The "monster" and the two children sat side by side. When the little monkey rolled up into the sky, they raised their breath together, and when the little monkey stood firmly, they breathed a sigh of relief together.

The last few paper monkeys somersaulted from all directions, landed lightly on the ground, and knelt down in front of them on one knee.

Gold paper was pasted on the eyelids of the little monkeys, which opened and closed in the blink of an eye, shining brightly, scratching their ears and cheeks at them.Each little monkey held out a fairy peach in his hand.

The "monster" stretched out its hand, it took a peach and held it in its hand, holding the peach, it turned its head and glanced at Bai Zhun.

Tears flowed from the eyes, the bone nail in the skull was removed, and the resentment in his heart dissipated, and it finally regained its sanity and humanity.

It stretched out its hand, touched the motionless half of its back, and pointed to the Qin family's ancestral hall. It was finally able to leave without being imprisoned, but its brother was still locked in the Qin family's ancestral hall.

Bai Zhun nodded slightly, and promised him: "I will send you on the road together."

Cast a good fetus in the next life and be a brother again.

It stood up, glanced at its memory, the two little boys clasped hands behind their backs, looked at it with a smile, and were blown away by the wind like ashes.

The "monster" turned into a ray of white light and headed towards the Earth Temple.

Bai Zhun and Huo Zhenye hurriedly followed behind.

Ah Sheng was sweating profusely. He cut a lot of bamboo to burn the bone nail, but the bone nail just wouldn't melt.

He was so hot that he was covered in sweat, and just as he was about to go out to cut some bamboos and came back, a burst of white air rushed into the temple and threw himself into the coffin.

Ah Sheng rubbed his eyes, he thought he was delusional, only heard a "crack" and a black smoke ignited from the fire.

Ah Sheng stirred the firewood and bamboo, and saw that the bone nail was finally burned and split in two. He just wanted to relax, but then he remembered that white light, I don't know what it is, is it okay to just rush into the coffin like this?

If you want to open it, you dare not, and if you don't open it, you are worried, and circle around the coffin.

Huo Zhenye and Bai Zhun rushed back to the temple, and the "monster" voluntarily entered the coffin. As soon as it left, cracks appeared in the world of yin and yang, and the night above the town shattered piece by piece.

White rays of light flew out through the cracks in the town, and the ghosts who were originally trapped and unable to reincarnate can also leave here freely.

The white light broke through the sky, and it took a long time before it slowly diminished, and the sunlight came in from the outside.

It was night in the world of yin and yang, and it was still day outside. Xuan Yun was standing in the temple, and a beam of sunlight came in through the hole in the temple roof, hitting her body, and the black mist around her burned wisps of white smoke.

Xuan Yun wailed, and Bai Zhun took out an altar, but Xuan Yun didn't immediately get into the altar to hide from the sun, she reluctantly glanced at Chen Shou's body.

"Since I promised you, I will naturally do it."

Only then did Xuan Yun sneak into the altar, and said in a muffled voice, "I can trust Master Qi."

The night is cracked, the mountains and rivers look like they have been washed by water, the old yellow light gradually fades, the mountains, rivers, stones and trees reveal the colors illuminated by the sun, but in a short while, this place becomes another look.

The Earth Temple was still dilapidated, but the forest was suddenly filled with the sound of birdsong.

Only then did Ah Sheng let out a long sigh, and they finally came out.

Bai Zhun's knees stiffened, before he moved, Huo Zhenye picked him up horizontally, and carried him to the bamboo wheelchair.

When Bai Zhun was inside, he was in very good spirits. When he came out, his eyes were gray and his complexion was pale. He looked like he had been ill for a long time. Huo Zhenye frowned. He was too tired these days, so he had to find a place to rest.

Huo Zhenye pushed Bai Zhun, A Sheng carried Chen Shou's body, and the paper figurine stayed in the earth temple to guard the coffin, and they went to Xiangshui Town together.

Huo Zhenye took Bai Zhun to find an inn to stay in, and Ah Sheng found a coffin shop to put Chen Shou's body first.

They stayed in the yin and yang world for three days, Bai Zhun and Ai Jie didn't move much, and looked decent.Huo Zhenye and A Sheng went up the mountain and dug holes, their bodies were covered with mud and fly ash.

The innkeeper scanned up and down, saw that Huo Zhenye was wearing a suit and a watch, and he was also wearing a wheelchair, and asked with a smile, "The two of you are here to see a doctor from the Qin family's former teacher, right?"

The Qin family?First teacher?Look sick?

Huo Zhenye remained calm.

The shopkeeper thought they were really here to see a doctor: "Young master, have you bought a doctor's number? Was it recommended by someone? Or did you find it yourself?"

"I found it myself." Huo Zhenye continued, "Why?"

"Then you have to stay for a long time, no one will recommend you, wait for the number to see a doctor, the teacher will see one a day, at least, you will have to wait half a year."

"It will take so long?" Huo Zhenye frowned, as if he really came to see a doctor.

The innkeeper said: "I still have a small and clean garden here. You can keep it for half a year, that's what you count." He stretched out a hand and made two positive and negative gestures.

"One hundred oceans?" Huo Zhenye smiled, "That's pretty cheap."

The boss and the guy looked at each other, it was the God of Wealth, and he hurriedly sent them to the small garden at the back. The guy ran errands hard, and in a short while the hot water was boiled and delivered.

"I bought all the new quilts and bedding, and I bought all the bath barrels, stoves, charcoal-fired rice and noodles. Is there anything to eat?" He said while throwing money to the clerk.

The clerk held up the money with a smile on his face: "We rely on the water here. All fish and shrimp are very fresh. Fish noodle and fish wontons are fresh. Would you like to try them?"

"Make some side dishes, no wontons." Huo Zhenye felt that he didn't want to eat wontons for at least half a year.

Just as the guy was about to go out, Huo Zhenye called him back again: "I'm going to stop talking about coffins in this yard."

This kind of thing is usually taboo in stores, but this guy smiled: "It's a small matter, such as incense candles and tin foil, I will also prepare for you."

"You don't pay attention to this here?"

The clerk laughed again: "There are a lot of people here who trek across mountains and rivers to see a doctor. If you are lucky, the first teacher will bless you and the disease will be cured. If you are unlucky, you will have no fate with the first teacher, so you can only carry the coffin back home. Everyone doesn't care about this."

"Heh", Huo Zhenye laughed: "If you look good, you will be blessed by the first teacher, if you don't look good, you will have no fate?"

The guy didn't know it was a sarcasm, but he took it for granted: "That's right, I think that gentleman is a blessed person at a glance, and he will definitely be able to see it well."

"Then how long has this former teacher been in town?"

"The first master has a predestined relationship with Master Qin. He said that he came to our town when he was young. Now he asks his disciples to guard the altar and bless the whole town."

Blessing the whole town, that is, making the people who died here unable to be reincarnated, that is really a blessing.

Huo Zhenye was afraid that Bai Zhun's body wouldn't be able to take it anymore, so he asked his assistant to quickly buy a quilt and cover him, and put him on the bed layer by layer.

Bai Zhun raised his eyelids, seeing Huo Zhenye staring at him, turned his back to him, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine, just take a rest."

He couldn't bear to send away so many dead souls at once.

Huo Zhenye covered him with a quilt, and touched his fingertips: "Do you want to add a brazier?" The room is too damp, so it's better to warm it up.

The clerk added a charcoal basin, and soon brought food, and prepared fish soup and porridge for the "patient".

"This is the most appetizing."

Huo Zhenye offered a piece of ocean as a reward, the young man grinned to the back of his ears, looking at Huo Zhenye was like looking at the statue of the God of Wealth, and said mysteriously: "Master, if you are willing to pay, you don't have to wait half a year."

Huo Zhenye pretended to be anxious: "Oh?"

The young man lowered his voice: "There is also a number in front, you pay a big price to exchange with others." You can't say this in front of the shopkeeper. If the customer sees a doctor early, the shopkeeper will not make money.

Huo Zhenye nodded: "Okay, you can ask for me, what is the approximate price?"

This former teacher of the Qin family must have something to do with those two children.

Huo Zhenye blew the fish soup and porridge to cool, scooped up a spoonful and put it into Bai Zhun's mouth. Bai Zhun wanted to struggle to eat by himself, but after two mouthfuls, he felt that lying down and opening his mouth was not bad.

He lay comfortably, ate half a bowl of porridge, and shook his head.

The little squirrel flew into the house, jumped onto Bai Zhun's palm, lightly pecked his palm, and told Bai Zhun that Ah Sheng had gone to the mountain.

Ah Sheng didn't care about eating and resting by himself, so he bought roasted chicken, water, wine and sugar cakes and went up the mountain to worship in front of the graves of the sect master and his junior disciples.

After worshiping the master of the eight sects, he ran up the mountain and burned down the tomb.

The jar where Xuan Yun was hiding was placed under the bed, she could no longer hold back, her resentment could not be dispelled, she rolled around in the jar.She was anxious to rush out of the jar, kill the members of the Qin family who practiced the law, and avenge the theater troupe.

The clay altar was rolling around under the bed like a rubber ball.

Bai Zhun beat the bed board: "We'll talk about it tonight."
