The Taoist priest is haunted by evil spirits

Once upon a time, there was a mountain called Yiyun. A certain grandmaster wandered here and set up camp in a certain year, and established a sect. This sect is the Yiyun Sect.

Among the Yiyun sect who practice swordsmanship, there are disciples who love to travel, and there are those who are chivalrous and righteous. There is only one who can be called a house repairer rather than a sword repairer, because of his style of never going down the mountain unless necessary Name, this person is Lu Jingyu.

It was July 23rd, and that day Lu Jingyu went down the mountain to a nearby town to buy something to eat, and to have a tooth-beating festival. He was about to go back, but was stopped by an old man.

"Daoist, I saw that you are radiant and full of energy, but..." The old man coughed twice, stroked his beard, his face changed, and he said worriedly, "I'm afraid you will be haunted by a demon..."

If it were someone else, he would either be unwilling or start to panic, but Lu Jingyu didn't take it seriously. In fact, he had already been haunted by evil spirits—his only apprentice, Yan Xiao, was half a demon. The old gentleman actually said "General", It's really not up to standard.Even though he thought so, he just said "Thank you for reminding me" and returned to the sect.

On weekdays, one is that he doesn’t like to go out, and the other is that he likes to stay in a cool place, but today he made an exception. The first is because he thinks it is necessary to go out for food, and the second is because he has to go Find his apprentice.

Lu Jingyu turned around on the road and saw a house in front of him.He usually turns a blind eye to his apprentice, but it doesn't mean that the apprentice can sneak out and do things that violate his bottom line, such as drinking.

Yan Xiao had never drank before, and today was the first time he had the opportunity to drink, so he poured himself a glass and drank it down in one gulp, regardless of the concerns of the seniors around him.

Then he coughed continuously, and even blurred his eyes with tears - choking.All the brothers next to him made fun of him.At this time, the door of the house was pushed open, and an unexpected guest came, and everyone turned their attention to the door.

It was Lu Jingyu who came, and he didn't come in for a long time, obviously not here to drink.His eyes turned around the room, and finally settled on Yan Xiao's plain and ugly face after the disguise.

It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Yan Xiao thought it over, he just drank secretly, and was caught straight.

"Master, master...cough cough...Master!" Yan Xiao's tongue was tied, half choked and half scared.

Finally, Si Jingyan, who had been on good terms with Yan Xiao on weekdays, came out to smooth things over: "Junior brother Lu, why don't you sit down and have a drink with us?"

"No, I came here today just to ask Zhiyi to go back to have dinner, and come to have a drink with Brother Si some other day." Lu Jingyu's tone of speech was surprisingly gentle, and his expression softened a lot. His words revealed his love for his only apprentice. Caring for love, let the other disciples breathe a sigh of relief. "Zhi Yi, let's go." He looked at Yan Xiao again.

Yan Xiao was relieved, but he also understood that things couldn't be that simple. At first, he thought that he would definitely be beaten up in front of many senior brothers and uncles, and then he would be taken back and punished to kneel, but now it has exceeded expectations.

Before leaving, Yan Xiao said goodbye to all the uncles and brothers, and took the broom he had brought over.As soon as he went out, Lu Jingyu's expression changed.

Lu Jingyu, who was pretending to be kind just now, had disgust written all over his face, "It's so ugly, get rid of it." Yan Xiao immediately removed the disguise on his face, revealing a heroic and lively face.

In order to prevent others from telling Lu Jingyu that he often ran around in the sect, Yan Xiao learned a few disguise tricks from his uncle Si, for example, today he pretended to be a sweeper.He wore a gold collar around his neck, but Lu Jingyu didn't let him take it off, and he had to cover up the collar when he was pretending, so he wore a scarf, it was so hot.

"Don't make it like this in the future, don't be my apprentice if you make it like this, I feel ashamed." Lu Jingyu saw his apprentice disguised like that just now, but didn't say what he wanted to say, everyone mistakenly thought he was just angry Not to post, in fact, not all, he was also smothered by ugliness.

Yan Xiao asked: "Master, then you were angry just now, right? I wouldn't talk to me like this when I saw you were angry." After that, he smiled shyly, showing a pair of canine teeth.

"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we go back." Lu Jingyu walked ahead without looking back.

They had just left for a while, and the senior uncles continued to drink, but only talked a few words in a low voice.

"The child still doesn't know his own life experience?"

"Junior brother Lu probably didn't tell him, and he doesn't always let him go out. After all, he looks more like..."

"Junior Brother Lu seems to be worrying too much. Damn it, he died a long time ago. No one will want to harm Zhiyi now."

"Oh, drink and drink!"

Yan Xiao walked behind, followed Lu Jingyu in a cool place, all the way to their yard.As soon as he entered the door, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Master, I know I was wrong. I did something wrong and should be punished."

Yan Xiao recalled the heavy punishment he had received before, and Lu Jingyuming would not let him go out on weekdays, but if he really went out, the other party would turn a blind eye.

Lu Jingyu's words were a bit awkward, for example, when he saw his disguise just now, he caught a trace of imperceptible fright in Lu Jingyu's cold expression.Since Master said he wasn't frightened, let's just say he wasn't frightened.

But if Yan Xiao did something that touched Lu Jingyu's bottom line, then Lu Jingyu would be furious, not only would he be very severely reprimanded, but he would also be whipped severely.

The most ruthless time was when he secretly took something belonging to Lu Jingyu and showed it to other senior brothers, but he accidentally lost it on the way back. In order to deceive Lu Jingyu, he told a series of lies.Finally, when Lu Jingyu realized the truth, Yan Xiao was severely whipped.

Not only did he remember the beating, but he also firmly remembered the words Lu Jingyu said when he beat him - "In the future, you are not allowed to tell lies or deceive others. If you make a mistake, you must immediately admit it. If you want anything, just tell me Say, I will give it to you if I agree, and I can’t take it secretly. If I fall in love with someone else’s things in the future, I will also steal it? If you like something, you have to use dignified means to get it, and you have to pay the due price. Don’t think about it. Take without telling, get without work!"

The whipping was really severe, until Yan Xiao couldn't get out of bed for three days.But after that, he knew that there were some things he couldn't do. If Lu Jingyu, the master, taught him a lesson, it would not be as simple as a whip when others taught him in the future.

It's just that Lu Jingyu not only doesn't allow him to lie and steal things, but also doesn't allow him to drink. Today he touched the bottom line, and he might be beaten again, so he knelt on the ground and didn't move, waiting for the whip to fall on him.

Lu Jingyu's whip still came out, not on Yan Xiao's body, but next to the field where Yan Xiao was kneeling.

Yan Xiao resignedly waited for the next blow, and it took about an incense stick of time before the whip came.

Lu Jingyu put away his whip and said to Yan Xiao: "You are not a child anymore, Master will not beat you like before, you go out, you can go outside for a walk today."

Yan Xiao kept his kneeling posture and turned around. He suddenly wanted to ask a question, so he asked: "Master, you said that I am not a child anymore, then I..." He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"No. Drinking is a mistake, what kind of wine do children drink?" Lu Jingyu shook the whip in his hand, "Keep an inch."

Seeing this, Yan Xiao immediately stood up and saluted, thanking Lu Jingyu and his old man for his mercy, and then went out.

Seeing him go, Lu Jingyu took a shovel in the yard and went to a field not far away to start digging.He didn't have any treasures, just buried a few jars of wine in the ground many years ago, since he had an excuse to go to Brother Si's place to drink, he just found it, lest Yan Xiao find out one day and dig it up and drink it.

The shovel wandered tentatively on the ground, finally found a place, and proceeded there cautiously.

It's been too long, and Lu Jingyu doesn't remember exactly how deep the sake was buried by him.While digging the ground, he wondered why he didn't just dig a cellar back then.

As expected, Yan Xiao lived up to his master's painstaking efforts. He flew with his sword to a cliff near Yiyun Mountain. It was not close to where he lived, and it was very quiet. He could practice kung fu here in the future.

Then he overturned his idea, because he found a well nearby, which was not small.The well was sealed with a thick cylindrical stone, and a lock was placed beside it, so that it was not so conspicuous among the weeds.Yan Xiao went over to look at the lock and found that it was a mechanism.

While Lu Jingyu was still slowly digging the ground, Yan Xiao had already started to untie the block mechanism in front of him.

Lu Jingyu especially doesn't like other people messing with things, because his things are always placed very neatly, and he often cleans up, so it can be said that he has no tolerance for things being messed up.Yan Xiao also knew very well that when he secretly went to Zangshuge to read books, he would put the books away as they were, and only once did he miss.

It was an organ book, a book that Lu Jingyu wouldn't let him read, and it had nothing to do with practice.He thought it was very novel, so he looked at it for a long time, and finally put it back in place, but he overlooked one thing - Lu Jingyu put a hair in it as a mark.When the mark disappeared, it meant that someone had secretly read the "useless book", and Yan Xiao was reprimanded as expected. This was only told to him by Lu Jingyu two years ago when he did not restrict him from reading.At that time, he felt that it was a change for Master to pay attention to such terrible details, and to care too much about cleanliness—ahem.

If it weren't for the organ book, today's organ would not be solved.After observing for a while, Yan Xiao put all the faces back into place and untied it.

Then, Houshi slowly turned the angle, and the well showed its true face. Yan Xiao moved over to see what happened, but a musty smell rushed straight into his nose, so he had to pinch his nose immediately.

There was a sound of iron chains coming from the well. Seven or eight chains were nailed to the inner wall of the well, the thinnest of which was as thick as an arm. There seemed to be a man in the center of the well.He drew his sword and went down. Seeing someone coming down, the man in the well began to bark his teeth and claws.

Anyway, the other party couldn't move, Yan Xiao squeezed his nose and approached, the man seemed unwilling to show weakness, and tried to open his eyes to look at him.It's very strange, living in this environment, he still hasn't died, his body is still wounded, and he doesn't know how to continue his life. This is probably the reason why the man was locked up here.

The man's hands and feet were handcuffed, but he kept getting closer and shouted frantically: "Aren't you dead!"

Yan Xiao was frightened, covered his ears and held his breath and said, "This is the first time I see you, why did you curse me to death?"

The man ignored his answer, and still said to himself, "This is my retribution", "I'm already crazy", "Don't you deserve to die", with some curses mixed in, Rao Yan Xiao You can hear it even if you close your ears.

"Are you sick?" Yan Xiao jumped on the sword, put the mechanism back on the manhole cover, and left.

Lu Jingyu finally dug out all the wine jars before Yan Xiao came back, put them away quietly and then filled up the ground, planning to let Yan Xiao send a few jars there the next day.But during the meal, Yan Xiao seemed to smell the aroma of wine, and asked him if he saved the wine to drink by himself, Lu Jingyu had to say that it was what Yan Xiao brought with him when he went to drink.

Yan Xiao thought that he had gone down the well, and his body only smelled musty, so he washed his clothes immediately after changing, but he was also said to be guilty of drinking secretly.Wouldn't it hurt my conscience if Master framed me like this?Even so, he still admitted his mistake and took the blame for it.

Yan Xiao went to deliver the wine the next morning. He walked with his head down and almost bumped into someone else at a fork in the road.

"Sorry, I was careless." Yan Xiao quickly apologized.

The girl in front of me has a beautiful face, gentle and elegant, and she is a disciple of another sect.The girl's almond eyes were looking at him with some hesitation, saying that she was ordered by the head of the sect to come to Yiyun to visit, and asked him if he knew where the head of Yiyun was.

It's very rude to stare at someone like this, Yan Xiao pointed out the girl's location, lowered his head and hurried away, but his heart throbbed inexplicably.
