When I was a Taoist

Chapter 3
The night in the countryside is very dark, without the light pollution of street lamps, which makes the stars and moon in the sky extraordinarily bright.The cry of a night owl came from my ears, and it was a bit scary on the quiet and dark village road.

I didn't dare to use my mobile phone to illuminate, so I walked towards Mr. Gu's coffin with deep feet and shallow feet. Because I lived in the village since I was a child, there is no obstacle to walking at night.Not far away, I saw the light of a flashlight not far away, and a person stumbled towards the back of the mountain, whoever it was Gao Liang.He walked so slowly, maybe it's because he's still hangovered.

I didn't dare to go fast, and fell far behind.Because of the excitement and nervousness, the palms of the hands are already sweating slightly.

It took Gao Liang a full hour to walk the mountain road for half an hour before he made it.I hid far away behind a big tree, ready to see if this kid is really capable or not.

Although I have a tentative mentality, I am still very worried about Gao Liang. Compared with the past few years, he has been really kind to me.I don't want him to be an accomplice in helping the village chief from the bottom of my heart.

From a distance, the simple shed on the coffin was still supported, and the coffin was lying there motionless.Gao Liang staggered to the side of the coffin, squatted on the ground with his back to me, not knowing what he was doing.

The night owls all around suddenly became quiet, and even the grasshoppers stopped screaming.I didn't want to be exposed, so I stopped by a big tree far away.There were so many mosquitoes at night, and I didn't dare to move around, so I could only stand firm and act as a human blood donor.While I was quietly fighting against the mosquitoes, Gao Liang suddenly stood up.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the back of him who was still wobbly at the moment actually looks a bit majestic.I saw Gao Liang holding a mahogany sword in his right hand and a porcelain vase in his left hand, and chanted loudly to the coffin: "The law of heaven never stops, the sun and the moon change, endless. Things in the world, things in the world, things in the underworld, things in the underworld." Peace. All living beings are in cause and effect, so don’t be obsessed with it!”

The sonorous and powerful words echoed in the valley.I don't know if these few words are spells or eulogies, but in my heart, there is always a sense of righteousness and willingness to surrender.

After Gao Liang finished reading these few sentences, he still stood in this posture and stood still quietly.Suddenly a strong wind blew up in the valley, and the big tree was shaken from side to side, and all the birds on the tree screamed and flew up.Gao Liang was still wearing the white Tang suit and black satin trousers that he always wore, like a little old man practicing Tai Chi in the park in the morning.The wind blew on his body and messed up his hair, but he remained motionless, like an old monk in meditation.

I planned to take advantage of the strong wind and move forward a little closer, but as soon as I moved my body, I felt a chill hit me.In the height of summer, all I wore was a short-sleeved shirt and thin sweatpants.This kind of cold is like three or nine days in the Northeast. The clothes lose their insulation function in an instant, and I can clearly see the white breath.

The surrounding trees were still shaking desperately, but I didn't dare to move any more.An unpleasant smell slowly came from the tip of the nose. It was a foul smell, like the smell of wild dogs, but much stronger.

In the middle of the night, in the silent mountain, there was a sudden strange wind and an unpleasant smell.A coffin lying quietly, a man in white standing with a sword, what a frightening scene.An inexplicable fear occupied my heart, I don't want to stay here anymore, I don't want to prove Gao Liang is good or bad.I just want to leave quickly and leave with Gao Liang.

Just when I was trembling, I was about to come out from behind the tree and shout Gao Liang.

Gao Liang moved.

He took a step forward, straightened his body, and yelled at the coffin: "Since you don't eat the toast and take fine wine, don't blame me for being rude!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Liang raised his foot to kick the lid of the coffin, but the thin lid didn't move at all.Gao Liang jumped back a step, swung his left hand, and threw the porcelain bottle towards the coffin. The bottle shattered when it hit the coffin, and the liquid inside spilled on the coffin.That bottle should be the clean water he always mentioned.

The lid of the coffin bounced up as if a spring had been pressed, and hit Gao Liang.I was very anxious in my heart. If I changed to the usual highlight, such a short distance and such a fast speed, I would definitely smash my face with flowers.What's more, now Gao Liang is very weak because of the hangover, and he is almost exhausted from climbing a mountain.

I saw the coffin bouncing vertically and hitting Gao Liang, but he jumped up like a cat with its hair exploded, and jumped directly to the right side of the coffin.

I have never seen Gao Liang so neat, he can hide for so long.In the past, when I went to the supermarket, I was always asked to carry things. He seemed like a big girl who couldn't carry things on his shoulders or hands.

The lid of the coffin was obviously pushed open from the inside, could it be a fraudulent corpse?All I recall in my mind are the plots in the Hong Kong and Taiwan movies I watched when I was a child. If it is really a fraud, will Gao Liang be in danger?

As soon as Gao Liang stood firm, he took out a talisman from his pocket.Gao Liang's lips squirmed slightly, and the yellow talisman in his hand shook violently as if it had come alive. With a flick of his left hand, the yellow talisman was struck out.A thin piece of paper, like a sharp arrow, shot straight into the coffin.

"Bang!" The moment Huang Fu entered the coffin, I heard the sound of an explosion.I screamed in my heart, well done.Because I was standing too far away, I didn't know what was going on inside the coffin, but I could smell a rancid smell from the tip of my nose.

After a successful blow, Gao Liang didn't move anymore, but stood with his sword up.The trembling mahogany sword made people feel the tension of the master.

The wind didn't know when it stopped, and the surrounding area became silent. The stars in the sky were all hidden, and only a full moon hung in the sky.

When masters confront each other, they always confront each other first to see who has the best concentration.Gao Liang was obviously more patient than the things in the coffin, and no one moved.

My body, which was hiding behind the tree, could no longer stand the cold, and I was a little unstable.I wanted to move my numb legs, but I didn't think about it. As soon as I moved, I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

In the silent mountain, the sound of me slumping, immediately attracted the attention of Gao Liang and the people in the coffin.I secretly yelled bad!But his hands and feet were still trembling slightly, unable to stand up.

Gao Liang looked back subconsciously, a look of ambiguity flashed in his eyes, he raised his legs and ran towards me.

I'm still wondering how to explain myself here.Seeing Gao Liang running towards me holding the mahogany sword, I struggled to get up, but suddenly felt that my shoulders were being suppressed by a strong force, and I couldn't stand up anyway.

It was like a pair of huge pliers, firmly stuck on my shoulder blades.The coldness from both shoulders seemed to have frostbitten my shoulders. I couldn't help it, and my voice was in pain.

It was too late to say it, but it was so fast at that time, Gao Liang ran up to me two steps at a time, held a mahogany sword and a yellow talisman, and said to the top of my head: "Let him go!"

Sweat was dripping from Gao Liang's forehead, and his face was extremely pale under the moonlight.

In this situation, even a fool would know what happened. The Lord in the coffin just now is behind me, and I have been held hostage.

Gao Liang yelled at me: "Songlin, don't look back! Once you turn back, you will die!"

will die?
I replied tremblingly, annoyed at myself that I failed to accomplish anything but failed.

Gao Liang saw that I was still calm, so he said to the thing behind me: "This child has no grievances or enmities with you. He is also a poor child. He has no father and no mother. If you hurt him, there will be karma."

The thing behind me finally spoke, and a sharp voice like fingernails scratching a blackboard came from behind me: "Junior, why did you come to fight against this old man? This old man has an appointment with that person surnamed Gu, I just want to take back what should have been What belongs to me, you shouldn't meddle in my own business!"
