Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 16 Henry Zhangyue accepts Yuhuan's teacher's sect in a dilemma
When I heard Master say that the stick is in the lantern, my eyes widened immediately: "So the lantern is the soul of the stick, then who is this person?" I pointed to the stick standing beside me.

The master smiled and said nothing, at this moment the wooden stick beside him spoke again: "I am Lin Tong."

Lin Tong?That female teacher, that female ghost I rescued?

I suddenly understood something, and hurriedly asked: "The one who showed me the way in the dense fog and led me to Master, was it you?"

Lin Tong nodded, and then said: "I have been recuperating in the soul-locking ring for the past few days, and I have basically recovered. Yesterday, Master Yuan was fighting a ghost corpse. He cast a spell with the soul-locking ring, but was shot down by the ghost. At that time, the soul-locking ring method When it was wide open, I ran out. I saw Master Yuan in distress, and I couldn’t do anything. Later, I saw you coming. After the stick was sucked into his soul, I took his body and showed you the way to rescue Master Yuan. .”

Lin Tong's voice was soft and soft, and the sound of swallows and warblers came from a big man's mouth at this time, which inevitably made people feel awkward.But it's probably clear to everyone.Lin Tong ran out from the soul lock ring and saved everyone.At the same time, the captured ghost also took the opportunity to run out, but everyone didn't know why the stick's ghost appeared at the door.

The master took out the soul-locking ring that he picked up again from his pocket, and said to me: "We must quickly return the soul of the wooden stick, otherwise it will be dangerous after a long time." He gestured to Lin Tong.Lin Tong immediately lay flat on the kang, and the master held the soul lock ring and read a few formulas, only to see Lin Tong's soul slowly get out of the wooden stick and into the soul lock ring.

The master took out the candle from the lantern again, the candle was in full bloom, and it was burning brightly.The master raised his hand, pinched a hand formula, pointed to the candle flame, and shouted: "Body and soul return to one, order." Immediately, the candle flame gradually faded, and finally went out with a puff, and a wisp of green smoke fluttered upward.

After the ghost of the wooden stick appeared, it walked in front of the body and lay down towards the body until it fit perfectly.

I stepped forward and found that Mu Stick's pale face had gradually turned red. When I checked my nose, I could feel weak breathing, so I felt relieved.I asked the master, "When will he wake up?" The master replied, "Although the soul has left the body, it has returned to its place, but the damage is too great. It will take at least a few hours to fully wake up."

Seeing that Wei Meng was still yawning and standing aside with his saber in hand, the master said to him, "Wei Meng, today is thanks to you. There is nothing to do now. Go back and rest."

Wei Meng didn't say anything after hearing this, and ran back to the guard room to catch up on sleep.

Master saw that he and I were the only ones left in the room, so he pulled me to sit next to him.Master took out the white jade ring and said to me: "I once asked Teacher Lin Tong about finding a chance to help her reincarnate, but she said that she was very grateful to you for saving her, and she didn't repay her kindness, and she didn't want to be reincarnated so early. In fact Thanks to her today, let her follow you after I see it." Saying that, he put the soul lock on my left wrist.This white jade ring is bigger than a normal bracelet, but it fits perfectly on my wrist, as if it was tailor-made for me.I leaned in front of the window and raised my arms to look carefully. The white jade ring was crystal clear under the silvery moonlight, delicate and round.

I smiled and asked, "Master, can this be sold for a lot of money?"

The master snorted: "Sell if you have the guts." I shrank my neck, and heard the master continue: "I will teach you how to set hands, and you can hold ordinary ghosts with this in the future."

I nodded: "Then if I take in the ghosts, will I fight with Mr. Lin?" The master smiled and said, "You underestimate this soul lock ring, the universe is huge inside, not only can it be impossible to collect hundreds or even thousands of ghosts problems, and they don't run into each other."

I touched Yuhuan, thinking that this is really a treasure.

The master also said: "When you wear it on your arm, you will gradually have a blood connection with it. Once you are in danger, it will respond."

I suddenly realized a serious problem, hurried to Master, and asked softly in his ear: "Then, can Teacher Lin see and hear what I do and what I say?"

The master smiled and replied: "That's not possible, but maybe when she gets bored, she will come out to chat with you."

I saw that the master was smiling and didn't know whether it was true or not, but I knew that Lin Tong not only didn't mean me badly, but also saved me. I already regarded her as a friend in my heart.

After talking about this matter, the master changed his relaxed and humorous tone, and his face became serious: "Yangzi, you and I are mentors and apprentices. Since you are my apprentice, there are some things that I have to let you know."

When I saw Master's serious expression, I knew that what I was about to say must be very important, so I listened carefully.

The master sighed: "I don't think there will be any danger in the village for the time being. I don't think the real goal of that group is Shanggou Village at all. The two people who died should be out of Qiao Er's revenge. Seeing that we have After being put on guard, they stopped their actions, and we were not attacked by the other party in the haunted house, obviously the other party has a bigger plan, and they don't want to startle the enemy because of conflict with us, and lose the big because of the small."

I nodded and said, "Okay, then I will inform the village chief tomorrow."

The master didn't comment, and continued: "They have collected and refined so many ghosts, what they are going to do must be shameful, and even cause a big disaster. As the descendants of Xuanming, we must not sit idly by, let alone... What's more, I suspect that the initiator of the other party is related to a grievance between my teachers. Yangzi, you are an outsider, but you were pulled in by me. You may encounter greater dangers than today. You'd better Get out of here."

I smiled and said, "Master, you underestimate me too much. At an older age, it is loyalty to protect the village and maintain peace; at a younger age, it is filial piety to be a teacher for a day and a father for life. If I now If he ran away, wouldn’t he be an unfaithful and unfilial person?” I said these few words with awe-inspiring air, and I said nothing with pride.

Master smiled and nodded at me: "You boy, you are poor-mouthed." After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and told me about the past events related to the master's school: Master's real name is Yuan Xitian, and he was less than 10 years old. At that time, there was a great famine, and the village where Master lived was also affected.At that time, people in the village either starved to death or died of edema due to long-term hunger. Some people even suffocated to death by eating tree bark and Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger. The whole village was shrouded in the breath of death.

In this context, some families have a relatively large population. In order to preserve the main labor force and the incense of future generations, there has been a situation of changing children and eating.He is the eldest in the master's family, and there are two younger brothers under him. In order to save the two younger brothers, the master's parents decided to exchange him with pain.On the eve of the exchange, his parents held him and cried all night.The master was young at the time and didn't quite understand what was going to happen. It wasn't until he was exchanged to a family surnamed Wu that he realized that he was about to be eaten by others.At that time, it was the son of the Wu family named Xiaosan who was sent to Master's house. The two children were originally good friends.

When Master was sent to Wu's house, Xiaosan had already been sent away.The Wu family tied up Master and planned to kill him at night.Master was so frightened that he kept begging for mercy.But at that time, people's mentality had been seriously distorted, and even lost their humanity.The two families also made great determination to do this matter, not to mention that their children had been sent away, and the Wu family did not show any compassion for Master.

The master was not willing to be eaten, so he secretly broke the rope by himself. Just when the Wu family was about to strike, the master made a violent move, smashed the window, jumped outside and ran home desperately.When he ran to the door of the house, he saw his father stabbed Xiao San to death with a single knife, and the blood spurted out from Xiao San's chest. Resentment.

Master didn't dare to stay any longer. The Wu family had already chased him with their swords and guns. He was afraid of being caught, so he ran out of the village desperately.While escaping, Master heard heavy breathing and footsteps behind him, and even heard Xiaosan’s miserable and shrill cry, in which he kept chanting: “You didn’t keep your promise, your father killed me, and you still If you are alive, I will pay for your life!" Master knew that Xiaosan's ghost had haunted him, but all he could do was run as hard as he could.

Due to long-term hunger, Master did not have the energy to run too far, and he collapsed to the ground after a short run.The place at that time was a mass grave.At that time, there were no conditions for burials for people who died in the family. It was called a mass grave, but it was actually a place where the bodies of people who died of starvation or disease were piled up.

At that time, Xiao San was determined to kill Master, and chased all the way to the mass grave, and stretched out his hand to strangle Master's neck.Master was so tired of being frightened that he had no ability to resist at all.Just when the master closed his eyes and waited to die, Qingxuan, the master's future master, just arrived, and he stopped Xiaosan and asked why.After learning everything that happened, Qingxuan also sympathized with Xiaosan's experience, and even said: You and I met by chance, and it was fleeting. Anyone who comes has a fate. This bad fate takes root, and it is destined to be sad for a lifetime.

Qingxuan found a corpse of a five or six-year-old child who had just died in the mass grave. As the body, he used the soul-moving technique to transfer Xiaosan's soul to that person, continuing Xiaosan's life.At the same time, he brought Master and Xiaosan to Qituo Mountain, and accepted them as disciples to pass on the art of Xuanming.Qingxuan was already quite sympathetic to Xiaosan's experience, plus Xiaosan's well-behaved personality made Qingxuan very fond of him, so Qingxuan taught him with all his money, while the master only learned a little.

But the mistress never let go of her resentment towards her master, and wanted to take revenge on her master several times, but was stopped by Qingxuan.He accumulated all the resentment in his heart, and every time he met a ghost, he would kill him, so that the ghost would be scattered and never reborn.And these techniques run counter to Xuanming's. Qingxuan spent ten years trying to influence Xiaosan, trying to let him let go of the hatred in his heart, but it didn't work.For a long time, Xiaosan also developed a grudge against Qingxuan, which finally broke out ten years later.One day, while Qingxuan was in seclusion, a killer wounded Qingxuan, snatched away the important treasure of the master's family, Yin and Yang Blood Ruyi, and ran down the mountain without knowing where he was.
