My master is the coffin

Chapter 29 Impermanence
Li Xiaoxing looked back at Li's mother, scratched his head: "Saved my mother? Isn't my mother still lying on the hospital bed?"

I waved my hand: "What are you thinking? We are catching ghosts, not treating diseases."

Li Xiaoxing nodded blankly: "So that's the case."

I looked at him puzzled: "Why are you so dazed? It wasn't you who sent us a text message saying there was a ghost, help?"

Li Xiaoxing scratched his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "No." Then, he asked me to read the text message records.

Strange, there is no record above.Could it be that Li Xiaoxing lost his mind and deleted it in a daze?
I moved a chair and sat in front of Li Xiaoxing's bed.Ask him: "Do you know about your mother raising little ghosts?"

Li Xiaoxing nodded: "At that time, I was still young, and the store was in a bad mood. Later, my mother began to offer a paper doll. In addition to burning incense, paper money was also burned. My mother said that this kid is a bull's head and horse face from the underworld. These paper money After burning it, this little ghost will bribe the King of Hell with money, which can bless people with long life, and also bless our family with good fortune."

I scratched my head: "But I heard from a driver that your family's little ghosts harm people and kill people, and then buy your family's paper money."

Li Xiaoxing was furious: "Fart. Xu You, we are studying economics, so you don't count? Killing a person, how much money can you sell? Is it worth it?"

I nodded: "I also don't think it's worth it. Then, is it useful for you to raise little ghosts?"

Li Xiaoxing nodded: "It's useful, it's really useful. First, there were a few paper-making shops in the surrounding area, which gradually quit and changed their careers. Then, there were fewer and fewer paper-making shops in the whole city. Our family's business gradually improved. If not In this way, I can't go to college at all. Moreover, in the past few months, I heard from my mother that the crematorium in the city is in contact with us recently, planning to cooperate. Think about it, how much money will you earn in the future?"

My eyes widened when I heard that, I never thought that Li Xiaoxing's family would be so rich in opening a paper making shop.

However, Li Xiaoxing's expression became gloomy: "However, since I raised little ghosts, I often have nightmares, feeling that there are many little ghosts in the house. So, these years, I am more and more reluctant to go home. Xu You, you just now They said they would help us catch ghosts, but did they catch the ghost raised by my mother?"

I nodded, and then I talked about the past two days.

Li Xiaoxing sighed, and said: "If you catch it, you can catch it. You can't live your whole life by raising little ghosts. Anyway, I have graduated now, so it's time to find a serious job."

Zhang Yuan has been sitting by the side, looking around with his mahogany sword.I don't know what I'm thinking.

Li Xiaoxing and I were halfway talking when suddenly the cell phone in my pocket rang.

I took it out and saw it was an unknown number.

I answered, and the voice inside was very familiar: "Yes, is it Master Xu Youxu?"

I hesitated and said, "I'm Xu You. How do you know my phone number? Who are you?"

The other end also said hesitantly, "You gave me your business card."

I suddenly realized: "You buy insurance?"

The other end hesitated for a while: "I've already bought it. I drive a taxi, do you remember?"

I thought for a while: "Oh, are you the taxi driver who took me to the paper shop that day?"

The other side said: "That's right, that's right. Master Xu. Is your master there?"

I said, "My master is right there, do you want to talk to him?"

The driver said anxiously, "No, no, no, Master Xu, I'm looking for you. How about you find a place where no one is around, and let's talk alone?"

I was a little confused: "What do you want to do?"

The driver said mysteriously: "It's very important. Where are you now? I'll pick you up."

I scratched my head: "Still in the hospital."

After hearing this, the driver thought for a while and said, "Master Xu, can you come out for a while, don't take it with anyone, don't tell anyone, just yourself. I'll pick you up."

I nodded: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at Zhang Yuan: "Master, I'm going out for a while, you wait for me here for a while."

Zhang Yuan nodded absently.

I walked out of the hospital slowly, thinking all the way.The driver is mysterious, what does he want to do?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: "The driver must be trying to kidnap me." Thinking of this, I turned around and wanted to go back.

However, someone grabbed my arm: "Master Xu, I have been waiting for you for half an hour."

I turned around and it was the driver.

I was a little nervous: "What do you want to do?"

The driver stomped his feet: "Master Xu, you are in danger, do you know that? There will be bloodshed in the near future."

I waved my hand: "Don't make trouble, listen to what you say, I should call you master."

The driver sighed: "Master Xu, come with me quickly, I will take you to meet someone."

I was shoved into a taxi by the driver in a daze, and ten minutes later, I came to a food stall.

The driver pointed to the owner of the food stall and said, "This is my brother."

I nodded to the food stall owner.

The driver said to the boss: "Tell Master Xu, what happened last night?"

The boss wiped his hands with a rag: "Master Xu, you can see that my face is clean, but I was called Mazi when I was a child. I don't know why, my parents gave me this name. Last night, I was I was frying deep-fried dough sticks in the shed I built, and I was going to go to the night market later. However, when I was halfway through the frying, there was a sudden plop, and the shed fell down, crushing me underneath."

When I heard this, I nodded repeatedly on the surface, pretending to be very serious, but I was muttering in my heart: "Could it be that this person had an accident, so he also wants to buy insurance from me?"

Then the pockmark continued: "Originally, the shed was not heavy, and I couldn't die if it weighed on me. But a few iron bars stuck me inside, and I couldn't move. At this time, the pot of hot oil and the stove were added. I got up whirring. I was about to be burned to death. At this time, I heard two people talking outside. One of them said: "Lao Zhang, I heard that you have a new apprentice? When will you bring it out to let me know?" Let me take a look.' Then another person said: 'That's right, his name is Xu You, he's so stupid. I haven't told him the truth yet.' I heard someone outside, and hurriedly shouted for help. At this time, I heard The man said: "It's not good, I misidentified it, it's not this pockmark." As soon as I heard this, I yelled: "Since I misidentified it, then quickly drag me out." After shouting this voice , I really felt that someone pulled me and dragged me out from under the shed.

"At that time, I was so dazed by the fire that I vaguely saw two figures leaving. One of them was wearing a monk's robe, but he had hair and a knot on his head."

The more I listened to what this pockmark said, the more frightened I became, and I couldn't help but said, "You mean, my master went to kill you last night? That's impossible, we've been together all night."

After I said this, I felt a little uncertain, because when I returned to Li Xiaoxing's house last night, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until eleven o'clock. If the master went out during this time, I really don't know.

Mazi looked around, and said in a very low voice: "The key is in the back. After I woke up in the morning, I heard the neighbor's house was setting off cannons. I went out and saw that the spirit flag had been hung up. I went to ask, their house A person died, and this person's life was also called Mazi. Moreover, he died of a sudden illness in the middle of his meal."

Speaking of this, the driver looked at me nervously: "Master Xu, I think you are a good person, you are honest, and you don't seem to be playing tricks. Besides, you worked tirelessly to drive away the kid from the paper shop. We neighbors I am very grateful to you. Today, our brothers are risking their lives to tell you this news. Just to remind you, you have to be on guard against your master."

I didn't know what to say, and my mind was a little confused: "Beware of Master? Beware of what?"

The driver sighed: "My brother and I both think that your master is an impermanent ghost who catches ghosts for Lord Yama. You have to be careful, don't let him harm you."

The driver and Mazi talked a lot, but I didn't listen to a word.There was always that sentence in my mind: "Your master is an impermanent ghost."

Originally, Zhang Yuan was mysterious and unpredictable. I usually like to guess what he does when I have nothing to do.When the driver and Mazi said this today, the more I think about it, the more I feel like it.

That day I returned to the hospital in a daze, and saw Zhang Yuan waiting for me at the hospital gate.Seeing that I came back, I didn't ask anything, just said: "Is the matter over?"

I nodded blankly, and he put away the mahogany sword: "Let's go back to the Great Sage Temple."

I bowed my head in silence and followed him slowly all the way.

When we returned to the Dasheng Temple, it was time to have dinner.

When the abbot saw the two of us coming back, he muttered, "Why are you two eating dry rice?" Then he reluctantly brought out two bowls of rice.

After dinner, we went to bed.

In the middle of the night, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.The matter of Zhang Yuan became a big knot in my heart.So I got up and touched the inside of the abbot's room.

The abbot was snoring like thunder, and he was sleeping soundly. I followed the sound and covered his mouth.

The abbot woke up suddenly and punched him out.Thanks to these months of training, I reacted very quickly, grabbed the abbot's arm, and said in a low voice: "It's me, I'm Xu You."

Only then did the abbot quiet down.

I let go of my hand, and the abbot said angrily, "You are sick, it's in the middle of the night."

I sighed and sat down in the dark: "Abbot, something happened."

I heard a groping, and the abbot sat up: "What happened?"

I thought about it, and finally said it: "I found something wrong with my master."

The abbot slapped his thigh: "I have seen it for a long time. Can the person dug out of the pit be satisfied?"

In the dark, I shook my head: "This time, there are other evidences."
