Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 3 Master is gone

"never mind."

These three words came out of the master's mouth, and the three of us immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the master looked at Li Qiang and said: "Qi Yan's belly is pregnant and complains about the baby, and the complainant absorbed a lot of her vitality. However, I have suppressed all the yin qi in her body, and she will be fine for the next seven days. NS."

"Thank you veteran, I was too impulsive just now, you must not stay in your heart."

The master waved his hand and said it's okay. Just as they were about to leave, Li Qiang and Qi Dazhu both cast their eyes on the red cloth wrapped in Master's right hand and asked, "Veteran Dao, can this be achieved by that?"

"Um."

"Yes, can you let me see, after all, he is also related to me."

Listening to Li Qiang's words about blood, I subconsciously looked at Qi Dazhu, and Qi Dazhu seemed to avoid my sight on purpose.

The master seemed a little hesitant. "Want to see it?"

"This has been cleaned up by you, can't you watch it?"

"It's not that I can't watch it, I'm just afraid to scare you."

Li Qiang and Qi Dazhu were stunned. It is inevitable that they will encounter some weird things after a few decades. But it is the first time for them like today. After the feeling of losing their son and grandson has settled down, they are somewhat natural. Is curious.

"Let's take a look."

"Well."

I actually wanted to see it too, but when I was about to lean on it, the master glared at me, and I quickly stayed where I was. However, when Master just opened the red cloth mouth, the moment Qi Dazhu and Li Qiang's eyes fell, the faces of the two people suddenly turned blue, as if they saw a ghost, they hurriedly backed away.

Qi Dazhu patted his thigh and howled, "Hey, what kind of grievances did this do..."

It may happen that when the master had just left the house with the corpse of the complaining infant, the pouring rain stopped. The master called me over and said, "My good apprentice has the foresight, and now he can help me go back."

Although the time is only half an hour or so, when Master enters the house, compared with the present, it seems that he has instantly changed himself. He has become like a declining old man, and it is very difficult to even take a step forward.

Qi Dazhu and the others are very clear in their hearts that it may be that the master was hurt by the complaining infant just now, and they said guiltily, "Veteran Dao, thank you for this incident today. If it weren't for you, I don't know what will happen. In this way, if you don't dislike it. , You and Guo, and Zhiyuan will go to my house to rest tonight, and wait for tomorrow..."

Before he could finish speaking, the master would intentionally interrupt: "No, I still have something urgent to deal with."

"Master, are you still in a hurry?"

"very urgent."

Regardless of Li Qiang and Qi Dazhu's good intentions, Master insisted that I help him up the mountain to the temple. After nearly two hours of torrential rain, there were some mountain torrents in some places, and the mountain roads up the mountain became very muddy and difficult to navigate. Maybe I was too careless, or maybe my strength could not support the big mountain of Master, which harmed me. The master fell three or four times.

I was very shocked in my heart. You must know that on weekdays, Master is as healthy as flying. Even when he went down the mountain just now, he was still walking in front of me and Qi Dazhu. And now, every time I fall, Master can only wait for me to help him up with uneven breath...

I have never seen Master be like this today, and I was so anxious that I cried out loud. "I'm sorry, Master, it's all my fault."

"Stupid apprentice, don't blame you, I'll be here soon, I'll be here soon."

When we were about to ruin the temple, all my strength had been exhausted, and I hurriedly called Jiang Yilong loudly. It may be that Jiang Yilong slept first when we were going down the mountain. He opened the temple door when I yelled almost hissing, and drowsily rushed towards us and said, "Little brother, did you just joke with you before? There is no need to quarrel with my dream now."

I cried out: "Brother, come and help."

Jiang Yilong heard that my voice was wrong, and rushed over immediately. Seeing that Master and I were covered in mud, coupled with the weakness and fatigue that Master had never seen before, Jiang Yilong also panicked. "Master, what happened, little brother, what is going on?"

The master looked strenuous but still had a kind smile on his face, and said: "You, what are you talking about, come on."

After all, Jiang Yilong is four years older than me. Now he is a seventeen-year-old boy. He is naturally much stronger than me. He hurriedly carried Master on his back and asked as he walked: "Master, tell me, it happened. What's the matter."

Back in the temple, Jiang Yilong put his master on the bamboo rattan chair that Jiang Yilong and I made for him. I was about to change his clothes and wash his body, but he called me and Jiang Yilong to the body. forward. "Yilong, Zhiyuan, there is a certain number in everything, it seems that Master will not escape this level after all."

Jiang Yilong looked at me and wanted me to tell him what had happened before, but now I was crying into tears, because I already had a very strong anxiety in my heart. This feeling was as if I was in Dayuan at the beginning. Ishixia saw the figure of his parents like that.

"Ah, good apprentice, don't cry. Yilong, don't panic. I had a hunch before that, but I couldn't catch the slightest trace after exhausting my methods, and naturally I can't avoid it. Therefore, what happened today Such a thing at night is just destined by Master.” While listening to him, I brought a basin filled with clean water to clean his face first, but wiped off the mud on his face, with the light of the oil lamp, The face in front of him was as pale as white paper. "Master was the same as the two of you at the beginning, and we were lonely and helpless, but in the end, the three of us master and apprentice had this fate, and you were very sensible and well-behaved, and Master was very happy. Master...cough..."

Jiang Yilong's mind is still much more mature than I am, and he quickly said: "Master, don't talk about it yet, I will help you find medicine."

The master said, "It's useless. When something happened suddenly, Master didn't have the slightest preparation, so I was injured by the Yingying, and in the unavoidable situation, I can only use myself to calm the three souls and seven souls of the Yingying, even now. It’s the immortal Daluo who has come, and Master is not going to be better. Yilong, Zhiyuan, Master is going to go, and you will have to rely on yourselves in the future..."

"Master..."

"I put some things behind the idol, and the things under the bed mat in my room, you keep them safe... From now on, without Master's supervision, you must be conscious of your practice..."

Jiang Yilong finally couldn't help crying like me and became a man of tears, and knelt in front of the master together. "Master, we will, we will."

"And Zhiyuan, Master knows you, but no one is to blame for this incident tonight, but Master's deadline has come. Don't remember... You hate Qi Dazhu and Li Qiang."

To be honest, if Qi Dazhu hadn't ran up to the temple, how could something happen tonight? Although Qi Yan is my elder sister, Qi Dazhu's actions at the beginning have turned me into a lonely family. The blood-bearing affection is all **** in my heart.

"Zhi Yuan!"

"Master, I know, Master."

"That's good. After Master is gone, you must remember to burn the red cloth bag with me. Remember..."

When he said this, I suddenly felt an unprecedented hatred in my heart. I stood up and started to kick the red cloth bag that I had placed by the door beforehand with my feet. Although I didn't see what the bread was inside at the time, I knew very well that the bread here was the corpse of the complaining infant. If it weren't for him, how could the master be like this?

"Zhiyuan, he is actually a pitiful person, so it doesn't have to be that way."

"But, Master..."

"Don't say anything, just do as I said when the time comes, and, as soon as I leave..."

Seeing that we were all crying with our heads buried, Master looked like a reflection of light on his face, with a few traces of rosy air on his face, supported his body and stood up, and shouted at us: "You remember what I said. Live it yet."

"Remember, Master, we all remember."

His body seemed to have emptied all of his energy and lay down suddenly. "By the way, there is one more thing. For example, if you have a chance to see a monk named Zhiyuan in the Xuankong Temple in the future, tell him, tell him that you are my disciples, and tell him that the road will never have my destiny. ."

"Well, Master, we remembered it."

"You don't have to be sad, life and death are up to you, wealth is in heaven. Me, my good apprentice and good apprentice..."

A word was given, and the words were not finished yet, Master's eyes were completely closed, and no matter how we cried, he couldn't wake him up.

Except for Jiang Yilong, Master is my only relative in this world, but now he is gone. I don't want to accept this fact, but in fact he really left. At this moment, Jiang Yilong's mood is no different from mine. After forcibly enduring the grief of Master's departure, we scrubbed and put on a set of clean Taoist robes for Master. On weekdays, on the fifteenth day of the fifteenth year, Master would put incense candles on the offering table. We asked him who he was worshiping. He said lightly about the heavens, the gods, the people, and the ghosts, and we had no way of knowing what was behind it. Therefore, the temple has always kept joss sticks, paper money, and the like.

Jiang Yilong and I actually really want to know about Master’s past, but every time we ask about this, Master scolds us for troubles. Even though our understanding of Master is very limited, we also know that he is a poor Taoist priest who has lived a poor life in this life. On this premise, we will grow up. Therefore, we put Master flat in bamboo and rattan clothes. Go up, put a brazier in front of him, light all the joss sticks in the temple around him, and burn all the paper money to Master.

It was dawn before dawn, and the tears of Jiang Yilong and I were already crying dry. Our long kneeling legs had already lost consciousness. At this moment, Qi Dazhu's voice yelled for Master, but when he entered the temple door , Looking at the temporary mourning hall in the mountain temple and the corpse on the bamboo vine that had become cold, the bacon Lao Baigan he was carrying fell directly to the ground.

"This, how come, Yuan, the veteran..."
