The Taoist priest is haunted by evil spirits

Probably because they took a bath before going to bed, the three of them slept well that night.After tidying up in the morning, they went downstairs to eat and planned to go for a walk.

As soon as they finished their meal, they saw Master Zhao's family coming down the stairs, and Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Run looked much better.Zhao Run came to look for Yan Xiao, saying that he would go to the mountains to play again tomorrow, and wanted to stroll around the village with him today, so the three of them sat downstairs for a while, waiting for the family of three to finish their meal.

Master Zhao and his wife went out for a walk together, Zhao Run and Yan Xiao also went out for a walk together, Lu Jingyu saw that they had all gone out, and felt that he would be with Ying Yi again this time.

Ying Yi didn't bring up the matter of going for a walk, but asked, "Do you still remember what that silly father He Zhang said that day?"

Lu Jingyu only heard a few words, and he replied: "I only heard a few words, it seems to be 'zhong', 'palm', and 'a'."

"Middle palm? One?" Ying Yi also heard this, but didn't know what it meant, so he asked Lu Jingyu if he knew what it meant.

"I don't know either." Lu Jingyu shook his head, Ying Yi couldn't figure out anything, so he had to give up the research, repeating the words just now.

At this time, someone came in carrying something, heard Ying Yi muttering those words, and hurriedly asked: "Is this young master from Wuyuan?"

Ying Yi saw that the person who came was the housekeeper of the Zhao family, and asked curiously, "Why did the housekeeper say that?"

The housekeeper sat down at the side and explained: "I have prepared a gift for the three of you at the master's order. Unexpectedly, I heard a local accent just now when I entered the door."

Ying Yi said: "Did you say 'Zhongzhang'? I'm not. I just heard someone say this all the time. I'm curious about what it means. You are from Wuyuan. I remember that Wuyuan was far away from Ningxing Town. look."

The steward said: "Exactly, my hometown is in Wuyuan. When I was young, I worked as a security guard and traveled around. Now my parents are with me in Ningxing Town. We haven't been back for many years."

Ying Yi asked the housekeeper again: "Then the meaning of this sentence..."

The steward replied: "This sentence is in the local dialect of Wuyuan. Actually, it sounds like 'Zongzhang'. It feels like a person's name or a place name."

"So that's how it is." After listening to the housekeeper's explanation, Ying Yi felt that He Zhang's silly father might also be from Wuyuan, but the housekeeper left his hometown when he was young, and he didn't look like he knew the silly father at his age, so he didn't see him again. ask.

The butler handed over the prepared thank you gifts to Ying Yi and Lu Jingyu, and thanked them repeatedly.They quickly said that it was just a little effort, but the housekeeper said it was the wish of the master's family, so the two accepted the thank you gift.

After a while, Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao returned to the inn. When Mr. Zhao saw Lu Jingyu, he thanked him again: "Thank you for the Taoist priest's soothing prescription, my wife is much better today, and tomorrow our family will go to the mountains. "

Lu Jingyu said: "You're welcome, I'm relieved that you two are well."

Mrs. Zhao also said: "The weather is very good today, isn't the Taoist priest going out for a walk with the young man next to him? Let's come back to get the cushions and plan to go out and sit for a while."

"No, we'll go to the market later and ask Mrs. He how He Zhang is doing now." Ying Yi replied.

"He Zhang? That child you are talking about?" Mrs. Zhao was surprised.

Ying Yi didn't understand why Mrs. Zhao was so surprised, so she just replied: "Yes."

Master Zhao followed Mrs. Zhao closer, and sat on the bench beside Ying Yi.Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "But I remember that child...he is not called He Zhang!"

"What? Then what's his name?" Lu Jingyu asked.

"His name is He Mengzhang, and Run'er often played with him at that time, I can't remember it wrong." Mrs. Zhao said again, "I didn't explain it clearly yesterday, or he changed his name, so we don't know. "

"Oh, that's also possible." Ying Yi said.

"Let's go upstairs to get things, and we have to go out later, so we won't disturb the Taoist priest and this young master." Master Zhao said, and went upstairs with Mrs. Zhao.

When they entered the room, Ying Yi pulled Lu Jingyu and left, "We will go up too."

They locked the door of the room, closed the windows, sat at the table and poured tea before speaking.

"You guessed it too?" Ying Yi asked Lu Jingyu, who nodded in understanding.

Ying Yi continued: "That silly dad probably said his own name, the housekeeper said it was called 'Zhong Zhang', He Zhang was not called He Zhang, but He Meng Zhang, in fact they..."

"They are not father and son. There is no such name as father and son." Lu Jingyu interrupted Ying Yi.

They both thought of it just now, and both of them were shocked, but Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were with them just now, and they had no way to express their thoughts in front of the couple, or Mrs. Zhao would recall the experience of that day again , is likely to worry too much and fall ill again.

So they didn't show it on the surface, and only discussed it when they got to the room when they learned that He Zhang had changed his name.It is a great misfortune that a person, an adult, has to pretend to be a child because of permanent physical trauma, and even be taunted, entertained and even beaten by real children.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, but it was Xiao Er, who said that there was a child in the lobby looking for them.Ying Yi and Lu Jingyu went downstairs to see that it was He Zhang who came.

He Zhang timidly said: "I persuaded her all night yesterday, and she finally figured it out. But she hasn't been sleeping well these days... I want to ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription."

Lu Jingyu said: "There is a commonly used tranquilizing medicine in my sect, I will write it to you later."

Ying Yi asked for a pen and paper from the accountant, and Lu Jingyu finished writing the prescription and handed it to He Zhang. He Zhang thanked them and went back.

"What are you going to do?" Ying Yi asked.

"I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd, let's take a look at it step by step." To be honest, Lu Jingyu didn't know what to do. At this time, he had the same idea as Yan Xiao when he was in the mountains, thinking that if he was a detective, Maybe he figured out the ins and outs long ago, not like now.

"Actually, it's the way to go, don't be too impatient." Ying Yi patted Lu Jingyu's hand lightly, comforting him.

They went back to the room and sat there until noon. Seeing that Yan Xiao and the others and Mr. Zhao and his wife hadn't come back, they thought they had dinner outside, so they didn't look for it.When it was time to eat, they went downstairs to eat something casually and returned to their room. They waited until there were fewer people in the lobby before going down to sit.

There were fewer and fewer people eating in the lobby, and finally only the two of them were left. At this time, Yan Xiao came back from the outside and saw that they seemed to be waiting for someone in the lobby, so he sat with them.After a while, two people came in from the inn, Mrs. He and He Zhang.

He Zhang said to them: "My father...he fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet, so we came here first."

Ying Yi booked another room at the inn the day before, and felt that they could be accommodated here for a while, so he said, "You guys should stay in the inn for a while, and I'll let Xiaoer take you up."

Lu Jingyu said: "My apprentice and I went to the village to see if there are any unoccupied houses, and we can move in after repairing them." Yan Xiao hurriedly followed, and the two went out one after the other.

Ying Yi stayed at the inn, seeing Sister He and He Zhang going upstairs with Xiaoer, he was not at ease.There are no inexplicable celestial masters in this place, and he would be taken in as he had known before, so he didn't wear the golden collar he got indirectly from Lu Jingyu.Walking out of the inn, he recited a mantra and briefly transformed into a little sparrow.

Seeing that Ying Yi disappeared within a few steps, Xiao Er thought to himself that this young man was not only generous in shooting, but also strong in martial arts, he was really the most powerful person he had seen in many years.

The sparrow quietly flew out of the window of He Zhang's room, wanting to hear what they were talking about. He stayed there for a while but found nothing, and was about to leave when He Zhang said he wanted to go out.

So he flew over He Zhang's head, wanting to see where He Zhang was going, followed for a while, and found that He Zhang was going to the previous house.He turned into a sparrow for about half an hour. Seeing that the time was up, he fell on the big tree in the village and was about to jump off the tree.

He changed back into human form and jumped down from the big tree, just as a child came around from the other side of the trunk and almost ran into him.

This kid was the one he had scared two days ago. He was playing hide-and-seek and just finished counting with his eyes closed and wanted to go out to catch people.Seeing Ying Yi appearing suddenly, the child stuttered in fright: "You you you you you..."

"They're hiding over there." Ying Yi pointed in one direction, and the child quickly ran away to arrest them.

He didn't bother to scare the children anymore, he walked around the street, found Lu Jingyu and Yan Xiao, and the three of them walked to He Zhang's house together, and found a corner to hide behind.

The corner was some distance away from the house, but they had very good eyesight, and they could clearly see He Zhang—holding the ax for chopping wood in the yard—walking into the house.There is only his silly "father" in the room, and what he wants to do is self-evident.

Ying Yi flew straight into the yard, grabbed He Zhang, threw the ax forcefully, and asked, "What are you going to do!"

He Zhang was very angry, his expression was full of anger and resentment.

This is a grown-up.Although his appearance is still a child, and even his voice is that of an ordinary child, the soul in this body is no less alive than theirs, and even more mature.Day after day, he was imprisoned in this eternally stagnant body, but others only regarded him as a child.

At this moment, his expression didn't match his appearance, and he gave up his usual cowardly look, and shouted frantically: "How long are you going to meddle in your own business? This is my family business, don't you bother! "

His shouts were so sharp that some villagers living nearby even ran out to watch the excitement, and soon surrounded him, and people kept trying to squeeze in.These people pushed back and forth, but Ying Yi and Lu Jingyu didn't pay any attention to them when they wanted them to go back.

Yan Xiao was not there when Ying Yi and Lu Jingyu saw that silly "father" that day, so they naturally didn't know that his younger brother who always looked timid in his eyes was actually older than him.In Yan Xiao's eyes, He Zhang actually wanted to kill his own father!He was shocked and said: "Do you know what you are doing? You are going to kill someone!"

The surrounding villagers also started to discuss: "This child... is it crazy?"

"Yeah, I think it looks like, how can you kill your own father!"

"No matter how bad it is, it's still a life, and it's his father!"

"Yeah, this kid killed people at a young age, what can his mother do if he finds out..."

"It really doesn't make people worry about one or two!"

These people seem to be really "right to the matter and not to the person". A few days ago, Sister-in-law He brought He Zhang to accuse him. Today, they immediately began to condemn He Zhang for Sister-in-law He. They forgot what they said a few days ago. At this moment It's fun to watch.

Ying Yi listened to the villagers talking endlessly, and knew that they didn't know He Zhang's real identity, if they found out the truth later, would they be in trouble?But he stopped it a few times to no avail. The villagers only regarded his words as air, and he couldn't use any spells to control people rashly, which gave him a headache.

Lu Jingyu saw it very clearly, knowing what the villagers said would definitely irritate He Zhang, especially when they talked about "his father" and "his mother".He was squeezed by a group of people, Yan Xiao and Ying Yi stood on both sides of him, knowing that he didn't like being bumped by strangers, so they tried their best to leave a gap between him and the front and back.

Their guess was correct. He Zhang was irritated by what the villagers said, and shouted in despair and grief: "You all think that idiot is my father, and the tofu seller is my mother, but she is clearly My wife! Why can a person with a sound body and even a vicious heart walk in the sunshine, but I can only live in the dark because of my natural illness? Why!"

It was only then that everyone realized that He Zhang was not a child. The crowd exploded immediately, and the voices became louder and louder. Some even ran back to call for more people to watch the fun. The three of them couldn't stop them, and the situation fell apart for a while. Controlled.

He Zhang raised his head and looked at the surrounding crowd, his eyes finally stopped on Ying Yi and Lu Jingyu, he said angrily: "Even the broken sleeve can be hidden from other people's eyes, but because I look like a child, I can't even talk to Lu Jingyu." Together, she will move around and hide, and she will be pointed out by you and these people here as a joke!"

This scene seemed familiar, and Lu Jingyu went back to many years ago in a trance. There was also a person who pointed at him, smiled wildly, and told everyone present that he was a broken sleeve with evil intentions.

After that time, he struggled with the same dream for a long time. In the dream, the person was in Yiyun, in the village where he was a child, and even in the downtown area, pointing at him to let everyone come and see him, this evil-minded man. sleeve.After several years, he slowly came out of this dream.

Now someone reminded him of the same thing again, gouged out the scar that he most wanted to hide deep in his heart, and stabbed him in a trance.The people around seemed to be talking about something, but he couldn't hear a word.
