Chapter 381 Chapter 5: The Man in Black

Grandpa held his hand and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, the matter is over. I'll add water to you as soon as it boils." Grandpa's voice was deep and slow, and Taoist Yang calmed down a lot after hearing it.He took a deep breath, looked at his grandfather with those suddenly lethargic eyes, and said, "I've never lost my mind to this extent, it really makes you laugh." Grandpa smiled gently: "Don't say that, anyone who encounters this situation will be panicked." Daoist Yang sighed, "It's all my fault for committing too many crimes. This report is destined."

Grandpa asked in surprise, "Why do you say that? You exorcised ghosts and evils for the villagers around you. What you did was good deeds. How can you call it evil?" Taoist Yang shook his head repeatedly and sighed. "Did you kill that monster?" Grandpa asked softly. Unexpectedly, the corners of Daoshi Yang's mouth began to twitch again when Grandpa asked, his eyes were as dazed as before, and his hands were shaking desperately, as if there was a sensitive switch somewhere in Daoshi Yang's heart. It will become such a pitiful appearance.At this time, looking at the sanctimonious Taoist uniform on his body, there is no longer a sense of awe, but it is a bit funny like a puppet show.

Seeing that he was not in good condition, Grandpa quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I don't need to ask. You can rest here for a while, and drink some tea after my wife has boiled the water." The two of them sat for a while in relative silence, when grandma came over with a rattling kettle. With a sound of "chiliu", the silver water line was thrown towards the teapot, and it was quickly filled up.The tea leaves at the bottom of the pot are rolled up and rotated continuously. Grandma filled Daoshi Yang's teacup with water again.Taoist Yang bowed his head impatiently, put his mouth on the teacup and sucked water vigorously, like an old cow drinking water by the pond.

After drinking the tea in the cup in one breath, his complexion obviously improved a lot.He pursed his lips, wiped the remaining drops of water from his mouth, and then calmly said: "Although I don't want to recall the experience of that day again, in front of you, I should tell you the situation at that time without reservation." .” Although Grandpa didn't know why he had to tell himself these things without reservation, but since old friends said so, I was embarrassed to say that I didn't like to hear it. And the grandma on the side asked impatiently: "You said it."

She thought to herself that Daoist Yang was much more famous than her grandfather, and he would never ask her grandfather to do some chores like others, so she had no intention of suppressing her curiosity at all.If it was someone else, she would wink at grandpa when she heard this. Yang Daoshi said that when he rushed towards the monster, he kept his eyes closed, so he didn't know if the monster would avoid it.But then he heard the blunt sound of flesh being torn apart, clearly stabbing the target.There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. "Master..." The monster didn't wail, but called him "Master" dully.

Taoist Yang's ecstasy was instantly wiped out.Listen to that voice, isn't it my apprentice? When he opened his eyes, he realized that the person standing in front of him was none other than his great apprentice.And the knife in his hand pierced the big apprentice's chest impartially, and bright red blood was gushing out from his chest.Daoshi Yang felt his hands suddenly become warm.Warm blood flowed out along Daoshi Yang's five fingers. Daoist Yang knew that he was charmed by ghosts and killed his apprentice by mistake. He was so frightened that he trembled and wanted to run away from the door.But after thinking about it, if you can escape from the monk, you can't run away from the temple. How far and how long can you run at your age?

He hurriedly called out the name of the little apprentice.The little apprentice didn't answer.He guessed that the little apprentice went out to fetch water and couldn't come back for a while.Apart from him, there is no one else who knows about this matter, so he did nothing but quickly found a piece of dry cloth to wrap the body of the great apprentice, and then buried it in a small peach tree behind the Taoist temple beside. Fortunately, the little apprentice transplanted the peach tree from another place two days ago, and the soil was still soft.Daoist Yang dug a shallow pit enough to bury his disciple without much effort.

When the little apprentice came back with a load of well water, Daoist Yang not only buried the big apprentice's stone, but also wiped clean the blood in the bedroom. Seeing that the senior brother was not in the Taoist temple, the young apprentice asked the master.Daoshi Yang said that the big apprentice had just received a message from home saying that his father was seriously ill, and he hurried home to take care of his father.The little apprentice didn't have any doubts. It is said that the home of this great apprentice is in a remote small village more than 30 miles away from the Taoist temple, and his parents are both honest farmers.Because the fields in that small village were not fertile and the land was not fertile, and they were busy in spring, summer, autumn and winter but could not have enough breakfast and dinner, that pair of honest farmers sent their son to a Taoist temple to be a Taoist apprentice.I don't want him to learn some alchemy and other skills, but I just hope that there will be one less mouth to eat at home.

Because the New Year is approaching, every family kills pigs and sheep to prepare for the New Year.Daoshi Yang's great apprentice's family is no exception. On the day Taoist Yang accidentally killed the big apprentice, the big apprentice's father was killing pigs on the ground in front of the house, and his mother was boiling water for soaking pigs in the house. At this time, a stranger in black came over and rushed into the house.The eldest apprentice's father was suspicious, and asked loudly who it was.The man in black didn't even look back, he went directly to the fire stove, and whispered in the ear of the woman who was burning the fire: "Your son was killed by his master! The body is buried next to the small peach tree behind the Taoist temple." .”

After speaking, the man turned and left. The big apprentice's father held a butcher's knife in his hand, but he didn't dare to stop the man in black.The man in black looked at the butcher's knife, which was full of blood, and left after making a big circle. The father of the eldest apprentice ran into the house and asked his wife, "Who is that man? What did he say to you?" His wife threw down the poker, her face pale as paper. "I don't know who that person is. I can't even tell whether it's a man or a woman from the voice. The man told me that my son was killed!"

The father of the eldest apprentice was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly and said: "How is it possible! My son learned from Taoist Yang to catch ghosts and exorcise ghosts. He always does good deeds to others, and it is impossible to offend others. How could anyone want to murder me? Where's the son?"
