Chapter 66

Had breakfast.

Wu Luoyang followed his master Wu Leiting to pick up the Jade Emperor in the temple, accompanied by his senior brother Wu Fengxing and senior sister Wu Baiyun.

The so-called Jade Emperor, according to folklore, sent the Kitchen God to the above-mentioned heaven on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. The Jade Emperor personally went down to the world on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to inspect the good and evil in the world and determine the blessings and misfortunes in the coming year, so every family worshiped him. To pray for blessings, it is called "receiving the Jade Emperor".

According to local customs in Citong City, people worship the Jade Emperor at home or in temples, worship and pray, and thank the Jade Emperor for his blessings and gifts throughout the year.

No one has ever seen the Emperor of Heaven and the Jade Emperor in the lower realm.

But for the matter of "receiving the Jade Emperor", every year on this day, the master would close Xuanyitang for a day and take the three of them with him.

The 25th of the twelfth lunar month happens to be the day when the annual temple fair is held in Citong City.

The temple fair not only has delicious snacks, but also folk dragon lanterns, flower fairs, lions, stilts, and technical performances with Chinese flags, etc. The scene is grand and lively.Local prominent figures or outstanding people attended the event as invited guests, and held the "receiving the Jade Emperor" ceremony together with people from all walks of life who came to the temple fair for cultural exchanges. Master Wu Leiting, who is also one of the top metaphysics masters in Citong City, was naturally also present. Invited.

It was just after 07:30 in the morning.

As we get closer to the temple fair, there are more and more people, and cars are driving slowly on the street.

People here in Citong City worship Buddha. If you ask them to get up at seven in the morning to watch the concert, you may not see anyone at ten o'clock. However, if you ask them to pick up the gods at five in the morning, that guy will definitely get up at three in the morning and go out. Stay up all night waiting for the nod of incense.

The New Year is approaching, and the shops on both sides of the street have hung up festive red lanterns early, and small five-star red flags have been placed on the pillars outside to flutter in the wind.The street was so crowded that Wu Baiyun had to park his car in a parking lot far away and walk there.

"Master Thunder, you are here, please come this way."

As soon as Wu Leiting arrived, someone recognized him and hurriedly came over to greet him.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the Brahma Bell rang, and the ceremony of "receiving the Jade Emperor" officially began.

Wu Luoyang's eyes were wandering around, and his mind was not on "receiving the Jade Emperor" at all. He was just waiting for the ceremony to end so that he could leave and take a walk around.

Every year, there will be some special folk toys on the backstreet stalls of the temple fair. These toys with more ethnic characteristics will attract everyone's attention and attract the people in the market. They are not only liked by children, but also by some people who miss the past. people are welcome.

Wu Luoyang thought, he would turn around and take a look later, maybe he could get something interesting.

"Just stay by my side today."

Seeing her like this, senior sister Wu Baiyun's cold words completely shattered Wu Luoyang's thoughts.

Other girls like to be quiet and follow their master's rules to stay where they are during the whole ceremony. Wu Luoyang is different, she likes to go to places that are lively, crowded and fun.

If senior sister Wu Baiyun hadn't kept a close eye on her, she would have disappeared long ago.

As soon as senior sister Wu Baiyun opened her mouth, Wu Luoyang instantly felt like a deflated rubber ball and a bit unwilling to give up.

"Sister, it's hard for me to go out for a walk. Besides, there's only one temple fair this year, so it's so fun..."

"no!"

Ignoring Wu Luoyang's plea, Wu Baiyun refused mercilessly.

During the temple fair last year, Wu Luoyang was allowed to wander around...

The results of it?
Wu Luoyang held the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror secretly taken from his master's study and chased an antique vendor for three streets, directly scaring away the evil spirit attached to the vendor and almost killing the vendor. In the end, with a cinnabar bagua mark on their face, they went directly to the master to complain!
Wu Baiyun got a headache when he thought of this.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay here until the event is over!"

"..."

Looking at the ferocious eyes of his senior sister Wu Baiyun, Wu Luoyang had a bitter look on his face. He looked aggrieved and weak and helpless, which made people feel a little heartbroken.

Look at the senior brother next to you.

Cough!

I only heard my senior brother cough twice, and he tried his best to hide the unkind smile on his lips, "Listen to your senior sister, you are right."

Ok.

Senior brother can't hope for it either.

Two hours later, the ceremony of "receiving the Jade Emperor" was finally over.Wu Luoyang stood obediently behind his master Wu Leiting, listening to the polite greetings of the elders, but his eyes occasionally drifted to the dragon and lion dance in the square outside the door. He looked so distracted that he just kissed his senior sister Wu Baiyun and said, "Go." "Bar" pardon.

"sister……"

"To shut up!"

Wu Luoyang whispered and wanted to discuss it with the people around him, but Wu Baiyun gave him a warning with a sword.

If the senior sister won’t let him go, then go talk to the master!
Wu Luoyang bent down slightly, got closer to his master Wu Leiting who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair in front of him, and whispered in his ear, "Master, are you thirsty?"

He glanced at the freshly brewed tea on hand.

Master Wu Leiting smiled knowingly and told Wu Luoyang very considerately: "Well, I am thirsty, please go and buy me some water."

Oh yeah~
She still has to love her master!

Wu Luoyang's eyes sparkled, and he had the rhythm of taking off on the spot.

Before leaving, Wu Luoyang tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, but still said hello to his senior sister Wu Baiyun next to him with an obedient expression.

"Sister, Master is thirsty and asked me to buy him water."

"If you dare to cause trouble again, go to the roadside and find a cane to prepare before going home!"

Wu Baiyun said harsh words.

After being released by his senior sister, Wu Luoyang raised his legs and squeezed out of the crowd while confirming his ticket. After exiting the crowd, he let himself go within three seconds.

What to buy water for?
Master is not short of tea!
The back streets of the temple fair were crowded with people, and various vendors used their own skills and shouted to attract business.Wu Luoyang had just taken two steps when he found two candied haws of sugar in his hand. He was slowly looking around here and there, and finally stopped at a stall selling masks.

"Brothers and sisters, come here and take a look at the mask."

The vendor is a middle-aged uncle wearing Hanfu. He picks up the mask in his hand and recommends it to the customers in front of the stall. There are many styles of retro masks, so you can choose them as you like.

Wu Luoyang took a bite of the sweet candied haws, then freed up a hand and picked out a silver mask made of aluminum alloy or something like that.Although the masks are unique and have their own characteristics, and the craftsmanship is not bad, they are still not as beautiful as the finely carved silver mask worn by Zhan Yunye.

"Boss, how much is this?"

"That is the recently popular God of War silver mask. Others are selling it online for 188 yuan. I think you like it too. I will give you a discounted price of 88 yuan and take it away."

"30 dollars."

Wu Luoyang opened his mouth.

The surrounding customers all looked at it.

Is this person a colleague who came to destroy the stall? !
The corner of the vendor's mouth twitched wildly for a few times, and he reached out and snatched the mask from Wu Luoyang's hand, threw it directly on the stall, and suppressed his good temper and said, "Miss, if you don't buy sincerely, don't haggle. You This bid gives me a waist discount."

"The lowest price?"

"55, take it if you want it. If you don't want it, go shopping elsewhere. If there's something cheaper than mine, I'll refund the price difference to you."

"make a deal!"

The boss was talking about this, and Wu Luoyang happened to be interested in buying it, so he directly swiped the WeChat code on the stall and transferred the money.

"Boss, we are together, I will also get one of the same style as hers."

Suddenly a familiar male voice sounded behind her. Before she turned around, she saw a hand in front of her, holding up her cell phone and saying to the boss, "I'll transfer 55 yuan to you."

Wu Luoyang looked back.

Du Surui grinned at her and raised the silver mask in his hand, "Student Dewu is good at bargaining."

Wu Luoyang was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He put on the mask casually, passed the candied haws in his hand to his mouth exposed under the mask, and took a bite.

Du Surui also came with his master to attend the temple fair. He finally waited until the ceremony was over, said hello to his master and slipped out.

The old lady walking towards her looked very familiar. What caught Wu Luoyang's attention even more was the faint black mist behind her, which seemed to be unreliable.

Following Wu Luoyang's gaze, Du Surui also glanced at him, with a disdainful arc on his lips: "Oh, this ghost is so ignorant, and he doesn't care what day it is, and he dares to come out to harm people."

Wu Luoyang said nothing and walked over.

Her right hand hanging by her side quietly condensed the fire energy. When the two of them staggered to make way, she lightly patted the old lady's back, and the black mist immediately dissipated.

This old lady was a sanitation worker at the institute. She was the one who met the old mayor’s wife at the gate on her first day of employment. She was talking to the old mayor’s wife about her daughter-in-law giving birth to a child and insisting that her daughter-in-law give her a grandson. This old lady was It was Cai Fen, the personnel officer at the institute, the eldest sister's mother-in-law who said she couldn't marry as an archaeologist.

The other party turned his head, obviously recognizing her.

"Luoyang, you also come to visit the temple fair."

"Yes, aunt, are you alone?" Wu Luoyang asked casually.

"No!"

When talking about this, the old lady began to complain again: "Look, you young people came here so early to catch the temple fair. My wife is too lazy to get up even after 08:30. Others stayed in bed to give birth to fat grandsons. She stayed in bed and only had a swollen belly but no pregnancy..."

"Auntie, auntie, I'm going to go shopping first!"

Wu Luoyang was most afraid of the old lady's move. Before the old lady could finish speaking, he quickly found a reason and ran away first.

terrible!

Wu Luoyang walked a long way, and Du Surui caught up with her and asked her.

"Classmate Wu, do you have any plans for tonight?"

"I'm not free for a date."

Wu Luoyang didn't give him a chance at all and refused directly with four words.

A guy who doesn't even have a boyfriend tells you to go on a date. Do you believe it?
Du Suri didn't believe it anyway.

"What's so fun about a date? Let's go. I'll take you to an exciting place tonight, a haunted house."

haunted house

Wu Luoyang's steps stopped for a moment.

"Which haunted house?"

"Of course it's the haunted house that makes people cry in the middle of the night."

Seeing her interest, Du Surui said quickly, "Call Senior Brother Wu and Senior Sister Wu, and the four of us will go take a look. That thing is becoming more and more evil as it is spread."

This is to make money, Du Su Rui is obviously going to fight ghosts!

Wu Luoyang glanced at him sideways.

This Dusuri's ability to catch ghosts needs to be tested, but after the last battle between Gemini Evil, his ability to deal with damage is still very good.

If he plays in the front row...

Ah!
Wu Luoyang pretended to be serious and did not agree immediately. He bit the candied haws and walked forward.

"we'll see."

These three words fell into Du Surui's ears, and they were very perfunctory. Du Surui knew Wu Luoyang's character too well.

"Don't look at it. I'll pay for the cost of the car tonight."

"to make."

Now Wu Luoyang agreed.

Countless black lines slid down Dusuri's forehead.

A beautiful figure followed behind her. It had been a long time since she listened to the conversation between Wu Luoyang and Du Surui word for word.

The next second, reach out.

Pat Wu Luoyang on the shoulder.

Wu Luoyang turned around and happened to meet Wen Qiqi's shining eyes and bright smile.

"You two are really not friends enough. You didn't even call me for such a fun thing as writing a book!"

"Get a copy of the haunted house, little sister."

I heard that Wen Qiqi was also going to follow. Before Wu Luoyang could speak, Du Surui over there warned him first, adding an accent to the word "haunted house".

She probably hasn't forgotten the situation she encountered in Brother Xiangzhu's villa last time.

"With Wu Luoyang here, can anything happen to me?"

Wen Qiqi disagreed.

Wu Luoyang:......

This is really a bad karma caused in the previous life, and only in this life will I meet Wen Qiqi to collect debts.

"This mask is very nice. Is it a couple's model?"

The silver mask Wu Luoyang wore on his face was conspicuous. Wen Qiqi looked at the mask Du Surui held in his hand. It was obviously the same model. In Wen Qiqi's confused eyes, Wu Luoyang reached out and took it directly from Du Surui's hand without any hesitation. Give it to her.

it goes without saying.

Du Surui made an appointment online to go to the haunted house to play at night.

Wu Luoyang took a look. The name sounded quite scary. It was called "Qixi Yin Yuan". It was a large-scale real-life immersive secret room book with a slightly scary ancient background.

Gee!
A few ghost hunters went to a haunted house to hunt down ghosts...

I'm afraid only Du Surui can think of such a thing.

It was already evening when we returned to Xuanyitang.

Wu Baiyun and Wu Fengxing went to the kitchen to prepare dinner together. Wu Luoyang and his master Wu Leiting went to the study room. They always had to make some preparations for going to the haunted house at night.

Wu Luoyang sat upright on the Taishi chair behind the solid wood desk, holding the cinnabar pen in his hand and carefully drawing ghost-expelling charms on the yellow paper one stroke at a time.

This time Wen Qiqi was accompanying her, so she had to be more prepared.

Over there, Master Wu Leiting stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the slowly rotating Tai Chi Bagua mirror in the middle of the study, and pondered in a low voice.

"Gemini evil is twin evil. They are a little smart, but they are not patient enough. They often do things for three minutes and find it difficult to persevere."

"If you want to conquer it, you have to waste as much time as possible to deal with them and consume their endurance."

"Yes, I understand."

Wu Luoyang nodded and wrote down what his master Wu Leiting said.

After dinner, Wu Luoyang helped clean up.

The four people sat around the Eight Immortals table in the lobby on the first floor, discussing the precautions for going to the haunted house at night. Things like boiling water and making tea were basically what Wu Luoyang, the youngest in the sect, should do.

"Hello, may I ask, is Master Thunder at home?"

Wu Luoyang heard the news and went away.

In front of the stone steps at the entrance of Xuanyitang, stood a pretty girl. Her short hair was messy in the evening wind, and her eyes were surrounded by dark blue circles.

This complexion obviously means he didn't get a good night's rest.

Senior brother Wu Fengxing stood up and walked towards the door.

"What do you want from my master?"

"I think I'd like to ask him to help me catch ghosts."

Wu Fengxing turned back slightly, glanced at his master Wu Leiting, and when he saw his master nodded, he brought the person in.

The short-haired girl sat next to Wu Luoyang. Wu Luoyang tilted his head and stared at the girl's face for a while, and then he remembered!
"You're the girl from the escape room shop!"

After hearing Wu Luoyang's words, the short-haired girl also turned her face and looked at her for a long time.

While looking at Wu Baiyun and Wu Fengxing, I also remembered: "You are the three people who asked for reservations at the gate last night?!"

That's not!
Wu Luoyang asked what happened to the girl with short hair.

When she asked, the short-haired girl's body shivered instantly. The fear in her eyes was not fake, and the heartfelt fear on her pale face could not deceive anyone.

"Ghosts eat people!"

"You mean, you saw a ghost in the secret room scene?"

"Yes!"

The short-haired girl nodded fiercely. Thinking of the scene she had witnessed with her own eyes, her hands and feet instantly became cold, and her body trembled even more involuntarily.

When he spoke again, his trembling voice was shaking out of tune...

"That ghost...that ghost ate the whole person!"
