Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 144 The High Monk Can't Conquer the Demon

People who often listen to ghost stories must know that the scene Yun Shili is going through at this moment is a very common scene.

Generally speaking, the process of this section is: open the door, people enter the room, the lights go out, and the door closes automatically.

But... that's just "in general".

Yun Shili is not an ordinary person, he is a master.

therefore……

It's too late to say it!But... at the moment when the lantern went out, Yun Shili, who reacted quickly, let go and threw the lantern in his hand, followed by chua~chua~chua~ three high-speed backflips in a row .

In the blink of an eye, Master Yun withdrew from that room again.

And almost at the same time he "turned back" into the yard, the door of that room was blown by a gust of dark wind again, and it closed with a "bang".

"Hiss—" Seeing the abnormal situation in front of him, even Yun Shili couldn't help but gasped.

After standing still, he took a few steps back, and then stared at the door with a face full of fear, thinking to himself: "It's really dangerous... If I move slower, I will be locked inside..."

Yun Shili didn't dare to think about it anymore, just thinking of this made his scalp numb and his whole body covered in cold sweat.

Even if he is like this, let alone the servants and maidservants who are watching... When the gust of wind blew up just now, the faces of the servants were all pale with fright, and all of them instinctively stepped back, and some simply sat down on their knees. on the ground.

For a moment, there was a dead silence in the huge west courtyard, and even the singing in the room stopped at some point, only the whistling wind was still whistling in the night sky, as if some kind of unspeakable creature was whispering in people's ears. Horrible laughter.

"Oh jiri~ Brother Yun is fine." After a while, it was Sun Yixie's low-key voice that broke the silence. While talking, he walked up to Yun Shili's side, and reached out to hold him The opponent's shoulder, "I can only say that you are withdrawing a little too fast, hahahaha..."

Although he was making a sarcasm, it was quite effective in calming the atmosphere. Yun Shili's fear did disappear a bit after being said and laughed by him.

"Yixie..." Yun Shili wasn't angry either, he calmed down a bit, and asked, "You said you bumped into a demon a few months ago... can you tell me about that?"

"So what can I do if I talk about it in detail?" Sun Yixie raised his voice, and said in a tone like an old driver, "You think you can deal with it if you know the tricks of goblins?"

"Then what should we do?" Yun Shili asked, "Wait until dawn?"

"'Let's talk' why?" Sun Yixie said, "You have to strike while the iron is hot, and you have to catch ghosts at night!" As he spoke, he waved to a servant not far away, "Thirteen, come here."

Let me explain here, the servants of the Sun Mansion are all named according to numbers, starting from "Sun San", "Sun Si", "Sun Wu", "Sun Six" and so on... After all, the house of the Sun Mansion is big. , There are many servants, so the row will be easier to remember.

In addition, the number in the servant's name has nothing to do with age or seniority, because occasionally someone leaves here, and when someone leaves, the empty name will be replaced by a newcomer.

Seeing this, someone must ask again, so why are there no "Sun Da" and "Sun Er"?

It's very simple, "Sun Da" is the housekeeper's proper name, and whoever becomes the housekeeper is Sun Da. Of course, most of the time people call him "The Housekeeper" and don't call him by his first name; Because the name is homonymous with "grandson", it is called to take advantage of it, and the name alone is also "two ah", which is not pleasant, so it is not used.

Right now, the "Sun Shisan" that Sun Yixie is calling is the brother who went to the East Wing to invite him and Yun Shili earlier, who were "dumb-talking but quick-footed".

"Young...young master, what's your order?" Sun Shisan was still in shock, but he still had to agree to the young master calling him.

"Put the butler on your back, and immediately go to Lingyin Temple...to bring in the rescuers." Sun Yixie said.

Sun Shisan was also stunned. After hearing the words, he actually asked, "Master, wouldn't it be faster for me to go directly? Why are you carrying the butler on your back?"

Sun Yixie laughed at the time: "Heh... you go directly?" He smiled and continued, "Then let me ask you... you knocked on the temple door after a while, and a young monk came out to answer the door. What are you going to do?" Tell someone?"

Sun Shisan replied: "I just said that I am a member of the Sun's family, and now there are goblins in our house, I hope all the masters will come to help."

"Oh, that's what you said?" Sun Yixie said, "Then what if the little monk breaks his mouth and leaks the words, and tomorrow he will spread the word ten or ten times, and the city will be full of storms?" He paused After a pause, "What if...someone with ulterior motives adds fuel to this matter, and lies that all members of our Sun family are bewitched by evil spirits or transformed by goblins, will our family still do business?"

"This..." If Sun Shisan could think so far and carefully, he would not be Sun Shisan.

"That's all right, all right, you're just in a daze, young master, can you not be as smart as you? You can memorize it as you please, so there are so many questions to ask." The next second, Butler Sun walked up to Sun Shisan and raised his hand He patted the latter on the head, "If I were ten years younger, I wouldn't need you to memorize it."

"Oh, yes." Sun Shisan nodded immediately. His attitude is good, but his learning ability is a bit weak.

After Sun Butler taught Sun Shisan a lesson, he immediately turned to Sun Yixie and said, "Master, don't worry, this old slave will definitely handle this matter for you."

"Well, let's go." Sun Yixie responded casually, and let the two set off.

After seeing off Sun Shisan and the old housekeeper, Sun Yixie said to Yun Shili again: "By the way, Brother Yun, you have to go too."

"Me?" Yun Shili was puzzled when he heard this sentence, but he had a quick mind, and he figured it out after a few seconds, "Oh...you want me to invite Master Lu?"

"Exactly." Sun Yixie replied.

"Okay." Yun Shili thought for a while, then said, "It is indeed the most suitable for me to go...then you wait for me."

After all, he didn't wait for Sun Yixie to say anything else, he stepped on his feet, turned over and went into the room, and then, Yun Shili showed off his lightness kung fu and disappeared into the night.

The reason for Sun Yixie to invite Prefect Lu is obvious, because the painting was sent by prefect Lu. Now that something strange happened, it is natural to find the person who gave the painting to ask clearly—— Even if the other party is not malicious, he can still ask for some information.

Of course, the gate of the yamen is no better than a temple, so it is definitely not as efficient to let the servants go there to invite people than to let Yun Shili go there; Yun Shili also deduced from this point backwards to figure out what Sun Yixie is going to do.

To make a long story short, after about half an hour, the people from both sides came.

Prefect Lu came faster, because Yun Shili's lightness kungfu is good, and he left quickly, and Yun Shili didn't go through the main entrance of the yamen at all, but directly jumped over the wall and ran to Prefect Lu's bedroom. He yelled at the door, almost scaring Master Lu to death.

Fortunately, Lu Wen's heart is not bad. After hearing what Yun Shili said about the situation, he quickly changed his clothes, woke up the bearers in the house, and ordered someone to call for the headhunter Autumn, and then came over in a sedan chair.

As for the Lingyin Temple, the one who came was the first one in the temple, whose name was "Wojian".

As soon as you hear the name, everyone can understand - he must have been picked up by his master in the ditch when he was a child.

Just kidding, this master Wojian's ability is not bad.

He has just turned 40 years old this year, with a Chinese character face, a medium build, regular facial features, a solemn appearance, and quite advanced Buddhist teachings. Originally, it is undoubtedly a virtue to be the first seat of a thousand-year-old temple like Lingyin Temple at his age. Both arts... oh no... both moral and career.

"Amitabha... The poor monk has seen Benefactor Sun." As soon as Wo Jian entered the courtyard, he stepped forward to greet Sun Yixie.

In those days, any well-known temple had a good relationship with the local tyrants, and it was normal for the top temple officials and the country gentry to know each other.

Monks are human beings too. As the saying goes, they are short-handed for grabbing people and soft-mouthed for eating people. The big families always send money and food to your temple on weekdays.

Therefore, tonight, the abbot in charge of the Lingyin Temple was also very face-saving. When he heard that there was an evil spirit in the Sun family, he sent the chief abbot of the temple to settle the matter.

"Master, you are welcome. This way please." Sun Yixie also immediately stepped forward to greet Master Lu, and immediately led the monk to Lord Lu, "Let me introduce you, Master, this is the new magistrate Master Lu Wenlu."

"Amitabha... The poor monk didn't know that the magistrate was coming, so he was rude..." According to the rules, when there are officials present, you have to salute the officials first, and then say hello to the owner (provided the owner is not an official), so even if you lie down He doesn't know Mr. Lu, so he still has to apologize here.

"Master, you don't need to be too polite..." However, Lu Wen was a younger brother on this occasion, so he didn't dare to show off, so he quickly stepped forward to support Wo Jian, said some polite words to him, and then retreated to the side.

At this time, in the west courtyard, the idlers...that is, the servants, maidservants, including Sun Butler... were all invited out; only Sun Yixie, Yun Shili, Lu Wen, and Wo Jian were left in the courtyard. And Hu Butou and the five of them, so they don't have to hide their words anymore, they can say anything directly.

After a brief greeting, Sun Yixie began to tell Wo Jian about the current situation.

In fact, he didn't have much to say. Although Sun Yixie and Yun Shili had already asked Lu Wen a few words before Wo Jian came, but Lu Wen only knew that the painting was made by the young master Han Yu when he was young. I don't know anything; in those days there was no phone or cell phone, and it was impossible to contact Mr. Han immediately, so they could only figure it out on their own.

"Master, the situation is just like this." Not long after, Sun Yixie had roughly described the origin of the portrait, the strange singing voice, and what the old housekeeper and Yun Shili saw, and then said, " The abbot sent you alone to show that you must be capable, so it should be no problem to hand it over to you, right?"

After hearing this, Wo Jian sucked his teeth and said in his heart: "Sun Benefactor, you want me to die. Is there really a goblin here?"

This kind of development was indeed beyond his expectation, or rather beyond the expectation of the abbot who sent him here.

It is okay for the monks in Lingyin Temple to recite sutras, but if you want to say "catch monsters and catch ghosts"...not everyone is the reincarnation of the Dragon Subduing Arhat. How can there be so many monks who know magic?

Previously, the abbot heard Steward Sun say that Sun's residence was a "goblin", so he took it for granted that someone had hallucinations or something, so he sent Wojian over, planning to fool around in accordance with the method of "pacifying the mentally ill". How did he know it was Are there really evil spirits at work?

"Uh... Benefactor Sun, I'm telling you the truth..." In desperation, Master Wojian began to lie, "The poor monk was in a hurry when he came here just now, and he forgot to bring the magic weapon for catching monsters, or... ...The poor monk will go back and get it now?"

His excuse is not bad. If you really want to let him go back, he can report to the abbot and think of a way.

"Huh?" Sun Yixie is such a perceptive person, he can tell that the other party is lying by smelling it, "Master..." He immediately scanned the whole body of Wo Jian with his small eyes , "Didn't you bring Buddha beads and wooden fish here? Do you need any other magical artifacts?" He paused for a while, raised his voice, and said in a strange way, "I heard that Hai Ye of Jinshan Temple ~ You can control monsters with your fists and feet, and you didn’t say what kind of magic weapon you need~"

"Hai Ye?" Wo Jian only knew that a monk Daoji was once called "Lohan Lord" by the people, but he had never heard of other monks calling him "Lord". He also looked puzzled, "This...poor monk I also went to Jinshan Temple to place an order, but I don’t remember that there is an eminent monk with the word “Hai” in the name, I don’t know which one Sun Benefactor is talking about?”

Hearing his question, Yun Shili on the side almost didn't laugh out loud, he secretly laughed in his heart and said, "Well, this monk has never heard of "The Legend of the White Snake."

"Just...the one..." On the other side, Sun Yixie opened his mouth anyway, "In his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wide nose bridge, a full body of tendons, and two hairtail tattoos on his back... "

This time, not only Wo Jian was dumbfounded, but Yun Shili was also dumb. Both of them were full of question marks, wondering if you were talking about a monk or a hooligan?

But Wo Jian couldn't directly say that he didn't believe it, he could only reply: "Well... sorry for the poor eyesight... I have never seen this master." He paused, "It is true that the poor monk has no magic weapon , there is nothing I can do..."

They are still arguing with this courtyard, and the goblin in that room can't stand it anymore.

At this moment, a breath-taking shout suddenly came from the storage room, like an echo in the empty valley: "I dare not come in, then I will come out!"

It was a woman's voice, and the tone was full of resentment. It would be creepy to hear it during the day, let alone hear it in such an environment in the middle of the night.

When his words fell, the door of the storage room opened again by itself, and the courtyard was once again blustery with a gloomy wind, which caused all the lanterns hanging on the corridor to sway and extinguish one by one...

The moon in the sky was also covered by black clouds at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, the courtyard, which was quite bright just now, was completely shrouded in darkness.

And in the darkness, there was another sound of paper shaking.

Immediately afterwards, there was a painting, suspended like this, faintly floating out of the room like this.
