I am also angry with Master today

Chen Nianbai was slightly taken aback, his cheeks were a little red, he didn't know how to answer.

The panic is real, but it's calmed down now.Gu Zhen found a rock to meditate on, closed her eyes and said, "Just one incident, you can see how lazy you are in practicing kung fu."

"I...Master, are you injured?" Chen Nianbai raised his head and saw the half of Gu Zhen's arm exposed from the cuff when he was meditating. There seemed to be signs of bandaging there.

"It's nothing, just a small injury." Gu Zhen covered her robe, it was the mark of being stabbed by the strange grass in Nanling Mountain, "The important thing now is that you and I will enter Wulin Town after dawn."

"Could it be that Wulin Town is actually a ghost town..."

"No." Gu Zhen thought about it carefully, "I went to Wulin Town before, it was very peaceful, people didn't pick up things on the road, and they didn't close their houses at night. But just after we passed, Wulin Town was occupied by ghosts, something must have happened. "

Chen Nianbai nodded, "Okay, Master, what do you need me to do?"

"Follow me closely, or I will be distracted to protect you."

"..."

It was just dawn, Chen Nianbai and Gu Zhen went to Wulin Town again.When they arrived here, the ghosts were gone, and there was only a scene of desolation.

"Master, don't these ghosts only show up at night?" Chen Nianbai carefully looked around.

Gu Zhen didn't speak. She saw that the front of the house was covered with barriers, so she knew that Taoist priests had been here before, and these Taoist priests were not very capable, otherwise the barriers they set up would not be in tatters. Ghosts can't get in.

"Master, there seems to be someone." Chen Nianbai's sharp eyes saw the wooden door of the front house shaking several times, as if someone was at the door, so he said, "I'll go ask."

Gu Zhen followed, and Chen Nianbai knocked on the door a few times. The people inside seemed to be frightened by the knocking, their legs softened, they fell to the ground, and shouted loudly from the door: "Help! There is a ghost!" !"

"We are not ghosts, please open the door for us." Chen Nianbai hurriedly said: "My master and I are just passing by here, can you make it easier?"

The people inside were very hesitant and scared. Gu Zhen took this time to look around the outside of the house. The stone lions at the gate were all polluted, and the yellow cloth strips they were pulling were obviously useless.

The door "squeaked" and opened slightly. A middle-aged man in common clothes poked his head out and saw Chen Nianbai standing at the door with a kind face on his face. He reminded: "Little girl, how dare you Run out, don't you know that people in Wulin Town are afraid to go out?"

"I'm not from Wulin Town, you made a mistake, I just passed by here with my master." Chen Nianbai turned around and saw Gu Zhen standing behind her, "This is my master, can you tell us what happened here?" What's the matter?"

Chen Nian spoke sincerely and without malice. The butler-looking man finally opened the small door and whispered, "Then let's talk inside, it's really not safe outside."

The inside of the house looked different, it was fairly clean and there was no smell of ghosts polluting it. Just now the man said that he was the housekeeper of this house, just call him Uncle Wu.

"Uncle Wu, we actually came here last night, but we were attacked by something terrifying." Chen Nianbai told Uncle Wu everything that happened last night.

Uncle Wu's face turned pale, "Yes, girl, Wulin Town was occupied by ghosts two months ago."

"Two months ago, the people here were still living and working in peace and contentment, but in the middle of the night, suddenly, all the members of a family fell insane and bit people everywhere. The people bitten by them turned into ghosts the next night, with long hair. Fangs, scorched face, very frightening!"

"People in the whole town are afraid. Some people want to escape overnight, but their bodies will be found on the road the next day. In this way, no one dares to run out and can only stick to their homes. The ghosts only Appearing at night and disappearing during the day, day after day, driving people crazy."

"It's so scary..." Chen Nianbai had goosebumps when he heard it, "Then have you investigated what's going on?"

"A few Taoist priests came here, but they were all here to die. When they saw ghosts, they were so frightened that their legs limp. As time passed, no one dared to come." Uncle Wu led them into the main hall, "Girl, you are here. Let's go after lunch, we can't stay here."

The two waited for Uncle Wu to leave. Chen Nianbai looked at Gu Zhen. She was looking around the house. Chen Nianbai put the burden on the stool and asked, "Master, what do you think?"

"Let's settle this matter before leaving." Gu Zhen seemed to have made up her mind a long time ago. She sat down and said, "This place is only two miles away from Nanling Mountain. If you leave it alone, you will reach the foot of Nanling Mountain sooner or later."

"Disciple listen to Master." Chen Nianbai was rarely sensible, turned his head to see that the cloth on Master's arm was stained with blood again, "Master, I will go to the housekeeper for some fine linen."

Uncle Wu was easy to talk to, he gave Chen Nianbai some sackcloth for dressing and two bottles of medicine, and said: "By the way, girl, my young master is resting in the west hall, be careful not to disturb him."

Chen Nianbai nodded, and hurried back, her master was sitting there with eyes closed to rest, "Master, let me help you change the medicine."

Gu Zhen opened her eyes and saw Chen Nianbai standing in front of her, her searching gaze made her a little uncomfortable, "It's okay, I'll do it myself."

"Let me do it." Chen Nianbai knelt down, rolled up Gu Zhen's sleeves, and said softly, "I should take care of Master."

She still hasn't forgotten what Elder Liuxian said to her that night, and after she came out, Gu Zhen didn't treat her very harshly, but was very protective of her.

"Master, why didn't I know when you were injured?" Chen Nianbai replaced the old linen cloth, and saw red and swollen wounds on Gu Zhen's jade-like skin, which were quite deep.

"A few days ago."

Chen Nianbai hummed, and poured some white powder on the wound.

"Before the teacher punished you like that, you really have a big heart." Gu Zhen looked down at her, as if she didn't care to mention Chen Nianbai's punishment a few days ago. "Does your leg still hurt?"

Chen Nianbai couldn't believe that she and Gu Zhen had such a peaceful talk.

"Good morning." Chen Nianbai scratched his head, showing dimples.

"Go back and practice hard, don't play around anymore." Chen Nianbai felt a hand gently caressing the top of her head, and Gu Zhen's voice came from above.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll do the rest myself." Gu Zhen took the medicine bottle with the other hand, "It might be dangerous tonight, you have to follow me closely."

Hearing that the two new girls would accept demons, the steward looked at them again and thought it was better, he didn't want to let these two girls take risks, but the girl named Chen Nianbai insisted that her master was very powerful, at least let her They give it a try.

"Girl, why don't you discuss it with my young master. I have already invited several Taoist priests, so it doesn't count if I say it." Uncle Wu was a little difficult to deal with.

"Excuse me." Gu Zhen followed the guidance of the butler, and Chen Nianbai came to another hall. The windows and doors here are pasted with various talisman papers, and some Taoist priests who know three-legged cat kung fu have set up an enchantment here. , Chen Nianbai knocked on the door, "Is anyone there?"

No one opened the door for her, Chen Nianbai knocked again, waited for a long time, but still no one answered, she was about to push the door open to find out, when suddenly she heard "Come in" from inside.

Chen Nianbai opened the door and entered. A tall man was sitting in front of the table. He hurriedly packed the items on the table. When he saw Chen Nianbai, he smiled, "Who is the girl? Why did you come into my Wu residence?"

"Master Wu, I'm Chen Nianbai, and I passed by here with Master. I heard that monsters are rampant here, and I want to help your residence..."

That Young Master Wu grinned, just as he raised his hand, suddenly Chen Nianbai was pulled back by Gu Zhen, and when the wind picked up, Chen Nianbai saw the Han Chan sword unsheathed and blocked in front of him.

"Master?"

"Be careful..." Gu Zhen's expression changed, and she said, "He's not human."

As soon as this sentence came out, Young Master Wu clicked his tongue, as if he regretted that Chen Nianbai didn't come over.He smiled sinisterly, and rushed towards Gu Zhen at an extremely fast speed.

Gu Zhen pushed Chen Nianbai away, and started fighting with the ghost with a sword. The ghost was much stronger than last night, but Gu Zhen still had the upper hand. Chen Nianbai reacted quickly enough, and when the ghost was not paying attention, he pulled out his hairpin, Quickly stick the talisman on and throw it out.

The hairpin turned into a dagger, which pierced fiercely between the ghost's eyebrows.The ghost screamed and turned into ashes.

"Master, are you okay?" Chen Nianbai stepped forward nervously, luckily her master held her back just now, otherwise her throat would have been crushed by the ghost.

"It's okay." Cold sweat dripped from Gu Zhen's forehead. Although the ghost was dead, she was still scratched by it in the palm of her hand, and the black wound was unbearably painful.

Chen Nianbai didn't notice Gu Zhen's strangeness. Seeing the ghost turned into ashes and the rotten clothes still piled on the ground, he said with lingering fear: "It turns out that the young master of Wu's house has turned into a ghost, but why no one found out, even the master who entered the house today I didn’t even notice the smell of this kind of foreign body.”

"If I didn't feel that he was going to hurt you, I wouldn't know that he is not human." Gu Zhen turned to look at Chen Nianbai, "You did a good job just now."

Chen Nianbai smiled a little embarrassedly, "Junior Sister Changyin taught me..."

"It doesn't matter who taught it, it's important to save talents at the critical moment." Gu Zhen picked up Chen Nianbai's mahogany hairpin, wiped the blood on it, and handed it to her.

This seemed to be a compliment, Chen Nianbai felt her face burning, she hurried into the room and said to herself: "If that was a ghost just now, where did the real young master of the Wu family go?"

"It's dead or it's not here anymore." Gu Zhen looked up, "No wonder the housekeeper always said that Master Wu was unwilling to step out of the room. This ghost turned into the appearance of Master Wu and stayed in the Wu residence to practice. He hoped that one day he could step out during the day. Zhaizi, kill Wu Zhai from top to bottom."

"What a vicious plan." Chen Nianbai shivered coldly, the hand that clenched the sword trembled slightly.

"More than that, since the Wu residence is like this, other houses in the town will be like this too." Gu Zhen looked out the door and said worriedly: "Maybe, every household raises a family without knowing it." A ghost who only thinks about it..."
