I, C, attend the funeral

Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the face of a person are red;

The human face does not know where to go, Peach Blossom still laughs spring breeze.

The peach blossoms are in full bloom but only for a moment, after a hundred years of separation, we meet once again...

When the obsession between the two phases is gone, let's each be well.

Ziyan stood by the tree, when the looming soul dissipated into the air along with the flames and ashes, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zihe squatted down and put the urn he had brought on the ground, and began to carefully collect the ashes left over from the burning of the bronze armor corpse into the urn.

Gouzi looked at Zihe squatting in front of the big tree, pursed his lips, and squatted down to help.

In addition to the ashes, he also poured a few peach blossoms into the urn.

After loading the ashes, Zihe turned to look at Gouzi, hesitantly asked:

"Do you want to stay here a little longer?"

Gouzi held the urn and shook his head, "Don't you want to go up the mountain to see the Taoist priest?"

Zihe blinked and looked at Gouzi's red and phoenix eyes, wondering if Gouzi had recovered the memory of his previous life, or just became smarter.

He opened his mouth to ask clearly, but he hesitated a bit.

In case Gouzi recovered the memory of his previous life, how would he face Gouzi?

In this life, he is at least the...friend who helped Gouzi succeed in his bid to become a human.

But in the last life... Although he was a senior brother, he was the one who took out the two souls of the dog and turned the dog into a bronze armored corpse.

In the end, he just pursed his lips and said nothing.

The three of them prepared to go up the mountain.

The oldest one among the Taoist priests bowed towards Zhao Yin, remembering what the master said, he should be especially respectful to the one carrying the schoolbag, so he aimed at Zhao Yin who was carrying the schoolbag, and said respectfully:

"My name is Zhang Xincheng. Let me lead some laymen up the mountain."

Zhao Yin nodded, and the three followed Zhang Xincheng on the mountain road.

"Which xin is Zhang Xincheng's xin?" Zihe asked Zhang Xincheng as he walked.

"The letter of credibility, the letter of trust. The master said that we must treat people with credibility, and we must also give trust when we get along with others." Zhang Xincheng replied, and the master is naturally the old master Chen Bao.

Zihe nodded, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Using this word fits Xiao Shili's personality very well. That guy is limp and long-winded, but he treats people very gently.

Zhao Yin was thoughtful when he heard Zhang Xincheng's words.

Trust... When you get along with others, you must also give trust.

Xiao Shiyi used the word 'letter', but he didn't know what he was feeling.

……

……

The Taoist temple on the top of the mountain has been repaired and expanded for many years, and it is no longer what it was more than a hundred years ago.

The Taoist temple is very large, the red bricks and blue tiles are beautifully used, and the scale has been expanded a lot.

Chen Gun seems to be a person who knows how to manage things. He has been guarding the Taoist temple without leaving home, but it has not allowed Zixuan Temple to expand with gusto.

Many fruit growers around are planting fruit trees for Zixuan Temple, and Chen Yu is a very rich temple owner.

For the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, a few days ago, the old temple master suddenly became the small temple master.

But soon, everyone got used to it.

Because, although the young Guanzhu is younger and more handsome than the old Guanzhu, he treats people just as softly, speaks in the same slow manner, and has almost the same ideas and habits as the old Guanzhu.

And... the little Guanzhu treats everyone with the same kindness, just like... just the younger version of the old Guanzhu.

The little temple master of the same house is sitting in the courtyard of the temple master at the moment. There are pavilions and tea tables in the shade under the towering trees.

He was sitting on a bamboo chair, leaning cross-legged against the bamboo backrest, holding a teacup leisurely, and taking a sip.

The kind man sitting opposite him had already got his answer, he bowed slightly to salute Chen Bun, and then stood up.

The young man who was always standing behind the good man put the suitcase he had been carrying on the table.

"Thank you Taoist priest." The good man finished speaking, and seeing Chen Gun smiling, he left with the little Taoist priest.

After the two of them left his yard, Chen Jue glanced at the suitcase and thought, "I don't know how much money is in it."

"Xinling, take this box to Xincai, let him make statistics, and then take it to finance together." Chen Ju said.

"Yes, Master." The little Taoist immediately came over and took the box away.

Chen Gun reached out and touched his own tail under the Taoist robe, and liked it very much because it was soft and fluffy.

"Why haven't you come up yet?" Seeing that there was no one in the yard, he gulped down all the hot tea in the teacup.

When the little Taoist came back, he hurriedly said again: "Go and save me... no, it's the old Guanzhu who keeps the best old Pu'er out. Some guests will come up later, and I want to make it for them. "

"Yes, Master." Xin Ling hurriedly ran to get tea again.

When Xinling ordered the other little Taoist priests to make tea and came back to serve the master by himself, he heard the young temple master say again:

"Go and bring three chairs made of pineapple wood, and let's show off our wealth."

"Yes, master." Xinling rubbed his waist, although he had been ordered to run all morning by his master, but since the master said so, he had no choice but to run to find someone to move the chair.

I don't know who Master is going to entertain, his legs are about to break.

……

Zhao Yin and his party followed Zhang Xincheng, not as if they were here to talk to Xiao Shiyi, but as if they were here for a trip.

Zhang Xincheng introduced every scenery on the mountain to several people in detail.

Including that the scenery was designed by Master Chen Gun himself, expressing Master's superb aesthetics, and so on, there is no shortage of words——

What Zhang Xincheng didn't want to say was all specially ordered by his master before he set off.

Therefore, when the three of them walked into Chen Ju's courtyard, they had already learned about the development of Zixuan Guan in the past hundred years, as well as the super earning ability, planning ability, and management ability of the old temple master Chen Ju.

Yes, what is indispensable is naturally the dedication of the old temple master to Zixuan Temple.

When the three of them sat down, Zhao Yin unconsciously said, "You manage Zixuan Guan very well."

It was almost the moment he said this that he realized that Little Eleven specially sent someone to introduce the development of Zixuan Temple to them. Is this asking for praise from his master?

Sure enough, Chen Gun, who heard Zhao Yin's praise, immediately showed a proud and complacent expression.

He is like a child who has been praised by his father, proud and relieved.

He did not disappoint Master, he was almost better than what Master did.

……

Little Eleven poured good tea into the teacups of the three of them.

He sneaked a glance at Zihe first, and saw that Zihe was looking at Gouzi worriedly, he pursed his lips, then sighed, and asked Gouzi:

"Are you okay, Ziyan?"

Gouzi raised his head, met Xiaoshi's eyes, immediately raised his lips, and smiled warmly.

"I'm fine."

Her eyes are shining brightly, and the words she speaks are always a little childish.

Little Eleven smiled, "It's good that you're fine, then let's get down to business."

Gouzi hugged the urn and nodded with a smile.

Immediately, in the same way, he turned his head and smiled at Zihe and Zhao Yin.

Like a sensible and strong child.

Zihe unconsciously reached out and touched the top of Gouzi's head, and again Gouzi smiled with eight teeth, which was clever and innocent.

……

"Your face and hands, are you okay?" Xiao Shiyi looked at the wounds on Zihe's face and hands, feeling a little prickly in his heart.

He stretched out his hand to take a look at Zihe's hand, but Zhao Yin pulled Zihe's hand aside without leaving a trace.

Immediately, Zhao Yin said, "What information is there from the temple master?"

Xiao Shiyi looked up at Zhao Yin, and dared not not answer the master's question.

He asked Xinling to prepare some fruit for dessert, and then quickly said:

"The cult of the Hungry Ghost Dao does not have many believers, but it is a very big hidden danger if it is hidden among the crowd.

"In the future, you'd better combine some information with Zhou Shan and Li Juanshen. Many disappearances and murders may be related to it.

Pay special attention to the missing persons near Tanshan City recently. "

"Are you afraid that Rong Hao will refine the bronze armored corpse?" Zi He asked.

Little Eleven shook his head, "I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability to forge copper armored corpses now. There is not enough aura in the world today. He may have evil weapons in his hand, but he is definitely not willing to use the rare evil aura to refine copper armored corpses."

You know, the bronze armored corpse consumes a lot of evil spirit energy.

In this era, it is basically saying goodbye to newly refining a bronze armored corpse.

"Rong Hao himself is a generator of baleful energy. As long as he sucks the living soul of human beings, he can use it for himself." Zihe shook his head, expressing a negative view on Xiao Shiyi's optimism.

"Ah... According to my research, although the Hungry Ghost Dao has been maintained, Rong Hao seems to have been in a state of half-asleep and half-awake. He... more than a hundred years ago, he should have had a big battle with Master, I guess, his remnant soul state is probably much worse than yours." Xiao Shi said.

After all, Zihe's remnant soul has been guarded by him for a hundred years, and he has been preaching and nurturing it. Rong Hao does not have such a blessing.

"But he must find a way to recover as soon as possible. Brother, he is not like you. You have a strong talent. If you want to suck human souls, or suck evil spirits, it is easy. But he can't. He wants to suck these. You need to cast spells in formations to do it. But formations and spells all need to consume evil energy."

Xiao Shiyi raised his eyebrows at Zihe.

There are not so many geniuses in this world.

Although Zihe's practice is easy and he can do many things, others cannot.

"That is to say, I'm better than him?" Zihe suddenly caught a very incredible piece of information.

As he asked, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"It stands to reason that this should be the case. But brother, you are still cultivating your soul, and you are not in the strongest state." Xiao Eleven apologized.

"Besides, since Rong Hao is able to come to Tanshan City, it means that he must be somewhere. He has set up a formation and absorbed a lot of evil spirits at one time. He is at least a red-robed ghost now, or he may be a complete black-robed ghost. .”

Xiao Shiyi shook his head while talking, no one knew Rong Hao's real state, everyone could only guess.

After all, Zihe has never met Rong Hao, and the others have no dark eyes at all, so even if they did, it would be useless.

"Now we have a few things that are more urgent." Xiao Shiyi said, his expression became tense, "We don't know how many hole cards Rong Hao has in his hand, but there are a few things that I know."

"Rong Hao definitely didn't take these things with him. When the accident happened that year, Rong Hao also suffered huge injuries. He has been shrunk until now, and he must not have the time and opportunity to get those things back. But this time when he returned to Tanshan City, he I must go to find these few things." Xiao Shi said.

"What is it?" Zihe asked.

According to the information disclosed by Rong Hao on the phone call with him before, Zihe speculates:

Rong Hao has been in a state of being unable to move freely before, because he cultivated into a red-clothed ghost and became powerful, which made his soul fire also become stronger.

And Rong Hao has his soul fire in his hand, relying on his soul fire, Rong Hao has formed a magic circle, completed the sacrificial activity of absorbing the evil spirit of the soul, and has the ability to move freely.

"The first one is the master's relic. What is contained in this thing is not the evil spirit, but the spiritual energy that the master has practiced all his life to warm and nourish the physical body."

"The second one is your physical body, Hanba's physical body."

"The third one is the master seal of our Zixuan Temple." Little Eleven knew about the existence of the master seal, but he had never seen this thing before.

He guessed that he must have disappeared with Master.

It is very likely that it also fell into Rong Hao's hands.

"The fourth one is... the bronze armored corpses of the Sixth Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, and Eighth Senior Brother." Xiao Shiyi said, looking at Zihe's face anxiously.

Zihe's expression froze.

Six, seven, eight... Brother's bronze armor corpse?

How many brothers did he refine into bronze armored corpses?

Zhao Yin frowned, stretched out his hand under the table, and lightly pressed it on Zihe's leg.

Zihe turned his head to look at Xiao Yaoming, Zhao Yin said in a low voice, "Don't be distracted."

Although the words that came out of the mouth were like this, the voice was soft enough to drip warm water.

Zihe felt the warmth of the terribly small palm, took a deep breath, and then smiled and said:

"Small, are you taking advantage of me?"

Zhao Yin's face froze, as if his hands were scalded, he hurriedly took them back.

"..." Xiao Shiyi looked at Zihe, then at Zhao Yin, he pursed his lips, and didn't know whether to continue talking.

"Is there any more?" Zihe asked.

"That's all I know, and what I don't know is..." Xiao Eleven's big watery eyes were shining innocently.

Zihe nodded, lost in thought.

I'm afraid there are still many things attached to his soul energy, and I don't know how long it will take to find them all.

If Rong Hao gets these things first, it will become Rong Hao's weapon.

He clenched his fists, and suddenly a faint green light appeared in his eyes.

His things, he never let people.

"Right now, we need to use more power to search for all the strange and ghostly events in and around Tanshan City, so as to find these things with huge evil and aura first." Little Eleven said, adding :

"Rong Hao has been hiding those things for more than a hundred years. Maybe those things are no longer in the place where he hid them, and have been bought, sold or moved by later generations. So, we still have a chance."

Zihe nodded. He understood that he had to act first.

"I'll go back and talk to Li Juanshen. You can go back and ask Zhou Shan for help. Little Eleven is on your side—" Zihe looked up at Little Eleven.

"I have dozens of disciples and grandchildren, as well as many lay believers, and I will try my best to mobilize them." Little Eleven immediately said proudly.

"it is good."

Zihe nodded vigorously.

The morale of several people rose instantly, and they all looked at each other with burning eyes, feeling that victory was in sight.

Then, Zihe asked again: "Where is the bathroom?"

"..." Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't realize what Zihe said.

"Aren't we done talking?" Seeing Xiao Shishi's expression, Zihe asked a little strangely.

Xiao Shiyi took a deep breath, and said loudly to Xiao Daotong who was at the gate of the courtyard: "Xin Ling, take this master uncle to the bathroom."

Xinling immediately poked his head in from the outside like a chicken blood, and looked timidly at Zihe——

Wow!Living Master Uncle!Hearing his seniority, he knew it was super powerful!

However, it turns out that the master uncle also has to go to the toilet.

And... Master Uncle...why does it seem to be a woman?

……

After Zihe left with Xiaodaotong, Xiaoshi suddenly turned his monkey eyes to Master Zhao Yin.

"Master, have you recovered your previous life memory?" Seeing Zhao Yin looking over, he asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Zhao Yin nodded, a little embarrassed.

Somehow, he became the master of so many people. Although he was indeed the reincarnation of Zhang Chenyang, he still felt a little embarrassed to be called master.

Seeing that Zihe had disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, Zhao Yin saw that there was only Xiao Shiyi in the courtyard who knew he had awakened the memory of his previous life, so there was nothing to pretend.

He turned his head to look at Gouzi, finally stretched out his hand, and touched the top of Gouzi's head.

"Is it hard?" He asked Ziyan.

Ziyan raised his head and still smiled. After laughing, he said, "Master, I have cultivated human form now. In a few years, I will be reborn in the human world."

"When the time comes, all the dead will be reincarnated. Maybe we can get together again. After all...the cause and effect of the people who died with me and I have not yet been cleared up."

His voice was soft but firm.

Zhao Yin nodded and patted Ziyan's head again.

Being his apprentice seems to be very hard...

Xiao Shiyi watched Zhao Yin and Ziyan anxiously after they had finished speaking, and anxiously scratched his hands.

Seeing Xiao Shiyi's appearance, Zhao Yin smacked his lips, then reached out and touched the top of Xiao Shi's head.

Feeling the gentle force on the top of his head, Xiao Shiyi was stunned for a moment, his face flushed, and he said in embarrassment:

"No... I'm not trying to argue with Master..."

When Zhao Yin heard this, his ears started to heat up from embarrassment.

Ah, don't you want to touch your head?

"It's not...Master, I just want to say a few words to you." Little Eleven said anxiously.

Not to mention, Senior Brother Nine will be back soon.

But...it should be a little slower to go to the bathroom as a woman.

"Go ahead." Zhao Yin nodded and took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.

"Master... there is something in the world that is perfect, excellent, and desirable. But because of his coldness and purity, he appears stern and unattainable.

"A lot of extreme people, if they want to chase, but feel that they can't reach the top, they will have a desire to destroy, become extreme, terrible..."

Xiao Shili spoke very seriously, using very...very complicated words.

Zhao Yin only listened carefully, and did not respond in a hurry.

"But, no matter what... there is nothing wrong with the excellent thing. It's just that they have deviated..." Xiao Shiyi said a little sadly, thinking back to the past when his master and senior brother got along, he felt heartache.

"So, Master, can you say more and express your thoughts and emotions?"

Zhao Yin listened to it for a long time, but he didn't understand all the ramblings in front of him.

But at last I understood this sentence.

He nodded and said seriously, "Okay."

"Really?" Little Eleven didn't expect that Master could understand what he said so implicitly?

Master really deserves to be a master.

"Keep your promise, I will." Zhao Yin nodded.

Xiao Shiyi immediately laughed with satisfaction.

"You taught Zihe very well, how did you do it?" Zhao Yin suddenly thought of this matter, and hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"Just... Be gentle, be kind... use... use love to influence." Xiao Shiyi was a little embarrassed.

In the past 100 years, he pestered his senior brother and said a lot... so many things, the senior brother couldn't refuse to listen.

Thinking about it, although the senior brother is miserable and doesn't know anything, but... really happy days.

After listening to Xiao Shiyi's words, Zhao Yin nodded thoughtfully, and then fell into deep thought.

……

……

When Zihe came back from the toilet, Taoist Xincheng rushed over.

"Master, there is a layman who is anxious to see you. I stopped him, but...he said he was dying and asked you for help."

While Xincheng was talking, he also sneaked a glance at Zihe—from that little boy Xinling, they were going to call this young woman Shishuzu?

"Ask me for help in a hurry?" Don't go to a doctor when you are about to die, but come to a Taoist priest?

Chen Gun's eyes immediately turned to Zihe and Zhao Yin, and the other two also understood instantly, and their eyes lit up.

They were in a hurry to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, to find evil weapons, and someone came to the door?

Immediately, all three eyes fell on Xincheng.

Xincheng was frightened at once, thinking that it was too disrespectful for him to peek at Zihe, so he hurriedly bent his waist even more.

"Please come in, I'll see you here." Chen Yu said, and secretly put the tail that had been slapping the dog on the back quietly back into the Taoist robe.

"Yes, Master." Xincheng hurriedly saluted respectfully, turned around and left quickly.

……

When the woman who came to ask for help walked into the temple master's courtyard, she met the eyes of several people who were like wolves and tigers, and shot at her.

She looked at the eyes of several people uncomfortably, walked to the tea table, and sat down half of her buttocks on the bamboo chair cautiously.

She propped her weary arms on the table to keep herself from slumping.

Immediately, he raised his head and looked around the table...

She suddenly felt uneasy.

The person who introduced her said that the master of Zixuan Temple is the most accurate master in the whole province.

Can……

She asked the master for help, why are there so many strange people present?

Moreover, these few people...

One obviously looks like a student, and is carrying a big schoolbag, but his eyes are deep and sharp;

One is obviously a young woman, but her eyes are faint, as if they will suddenly burst into green light at any moment;

Although one would immediately show a sunny smile when being sized up, but... was holding a... urn?

That master...although he was wearing Taoist robes and dressed as a Taoist priest, he was probably too young.

And... why are you so thin?And a pair of oversized eyes.

Long... like a monkey.

She hugged the bag in her arms tighter, and moved her butt uncomfortably.

This... This feeling of being stared at by them makes you feel cold all over, what's going on?

The author has something to say: [Small Story] —— Cui Hu's "Title of Capital Nanzhuang"

Last year, in this door today, the faces of human beings are red;

The human face does not know where to go, Peach Blossom still laughs spring breeze.

-

On this day of that year, a man knocked on this door, begging for a night.

Opening the door, facing the beauty, the peach blossoms are against the background, the bonus is red, and the cheeks of the two are also blushing.

On this day a year later, the beauty's father said that his child had fallen ill from lovesickness and was buried under the peach tree after death.

The peach blossoms are still there, but the beauty is no longer there.
