My master is the coffin

Chapter 30
The abbot was a little nervous when he heard my voice, and quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm going to light the lamp, I'm a little scared."

I held him back: "Don't, this matter has something to do with my master. If you light the lamp, won't he be suspicious when he sees the light on in this room?"

The abbot lit a match and lit the candle: "Xu You, you are confused, if we don't light the lamp, we won't even know your master is coming."

I quickly patted my head: "That's right, that's right. I'm confused."

After the abbot lit the lamp, he looked around to make sure everything was safe, and then asked me, "What's going on?"

I thought for a while and asked him: "Do you still remember, what the skinny Taoist told us, the time he met the water ghost by the river?"

The abbot touched his bald head: "I remember, what's wrong?"

I looked out the window, it was pitch black, and there was nothing unusual, and then I said softly, "At that time, the skinny Taoist priest said that he saw Master escorting a ghost over. And that ghost was bound with iron chains."

The abbot's eyes were blank: "What's the matter? Hey? Your master is a Taoist priest, so it's normal to catch ghosts."

I waved my hand: "But I heard another thing. When I went to Li Xiaoxing's house this time, I met a driver. The driver told me that he had seen Master seduce his soul in the middle of the night."

The abbot's eyes widened: "Ecstasy?"

I nodded: "That man's name is Mazi, he was doing well, but Master took his soul away in the middle of the night, and Mazi died the next day."

The abbot seemed to understand what I meant, and began to tremble a little: "Black and white are impermanent, with a bull's head and a horse's face?"

I nodded: "It looks like it."

The abbot's face was ashamed: "Xu You, get your master away from here as soon as possible, with such a guy all day, can you still survive?"

I scratched my head, thinking that this thing was getting more and more messy.I thought about it, and said to the abbot: "There is no definite evidence for this matter, we can't mess around. After all, Zhang Yuan saved my life. Don't hurt his heart. In this way, abbot, you can buy a shroud tomorrow. "

The abbot trembled all over his body: "What are you doing, who are you buying it for?"

I stared: "Buy it for the two of us."

The abbot's face turned pale: "Xu You, don't scare me, are you going to prepare for the funeral?"

I waved my hand: "I learned something from Zhang Yuan when I went out this time. You prepare two sets of shrouds tomorrow, and we'll talk about it when you come back. Okay, you go to bed, I'm going back too."

The abbot grabbed me: "Xu You, what are you kidding? You told me such a bunch of gods and ghosts in the middle of the night, do I still dare to sleep?"

I said helplessly, "What else do you want to do?"

The abbot moved aside: "Don't go, just sleep in my room, how about it?"

I grinned: "Same bed with you?"

The abbot understood, and got off the bed with the quilt in his arms: "I sleep on the floor, can I sleep on the floor?"

I sighed: "Okay." I fell on the abbot's bed and closed my eyes.

The past events flashed through my mind again and again, how did I know Zhang Yuan, what he said and what he did.The more I think about it, the less at ease I feel.

I turned over and sat up, wanting to discuss with the abbot, but the abbot was already asleep, snoring everywhere on the ground.

I smiled wryly: "The abbot is really generous. That's it, do you still need me to stay here?"

I sighed and listened to the abbot's snoring and didn't sleep all night.Open your eyes until the outside turns white.

Then, I heard Zhang Yuan shouting in the yard: "Xu You, the rooster crowed. Where did you go?"

I quickly put on my clothes and ran out.Zhang Yuan was found standing in the courtyard in a monk's robe, looking around.

I felt a little uneasy in my heart, and called out timidly: "Master."

Zhang Yuan looked at me, and suddenly a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xu You, there is something wrong with you kid."

My heart skipped a beat, could it be seen?My forehead started to sweat, and I thought: Zhang Yuan wouldn't kill people to silence him, so he should take my soul away too.

While thinking wildly, Zhang Yuan patted my shoulder, raised his chin, and looked at the abbot's room with a lewd smile: "What did you two do last night? How did you get out of his room? Do you want to learn from him? Mr. Ma, try something new?"

I was stunned: "Huh?"

Zhang Yuan laughed loudly and gave me a virtual kick: "Go to practice."

I wiped the sweat from my brow: "Fortunately, fortunately, it's a misunderstanding. It's better than doubting me."

I sat on the ground and began to induce the Yin and Yang qi according to what Zhang Yuan taught.Practice Taoism.In fact, my mind was so full of chaos that I couldn't do anything at all.

During this period, the abbot once sneaked out, and he came back at noon, bringing back a cloth bag, sneakily.

That night, I went into the abbot's room again.I asked the abbot, "What's the matter?"

The abbot nodded: "No problem." Then he opened the cloth bag, and there were two shrouds inside.

The abbot handed me the shroud and said, "The clothes seller is so dishonest. I told him my size, but he didn't even measure it, so he handed me two of them. He also said a shroud, as long as it fits well." gone."

I took the shroud and put it on.Then he urged the abbot: "Put it on quickly."

The abbot put it on reluctantly: "Xu You, what exactly do you want?"

I waved my hand, took out two incense sticks, lit them, one for each person.Then he led the abbot into the courtyard.

I whispered to the abbot, "I learned from Zhang Yuan when I went out this time. Wearing a shroud and holding an incense stick in my hand, I can see ghosts."

The abbot was terrified: "What are we going to do?"

I pointed to the master's room: "If the master wants to seduce the soul, he will definitely leave his body. When the time comes, the two of us will follow."

The abbot nodded half understanding.

The two of us kept watch until midnight, but found nothing.

Before dawn, we both went back in despair.

The second day, the third day, still the same.On the evening of the fourth day, the abbot was a little unhappy: "Xu You, you master and apprentice have nothing to do all day long, one is tossing people during the day and the other is tossing at night, are you playing with me? Go tonight by yourself, I'm not going."

I waved my hand: "How could it be possible? If you stick to it for one day, can you do it for one day?"

The two of us were standing in the corner discussing, and suddenly saw Zhang Yuan holding the door frame and shouting: "I won't eat dinner today, I'm a little sleepy." Then, I saw him collapsed on the bed in a fainted posture.

I was overjoyed in my heart, and quickly poked the abbot: "I guess it's today. You forgot? When he went to seduce the soul two days ago, he always looked like this."

The abbot followed me suspiciously and put on the shroud, holding the incense in his hand.

At this time, it was already dark.The abbot and I looked into the yard.I saw a figure, just walking to the gate of the temple.

The abbot pointed to the figure and said, "Isn't that your master?"

I nodded and said in a low voice, "Follow, follow."

The two of us held incense and tiptoed forward.

Zhang Yuan walked on the road flickering like a walk in the middle of the night.When we passed the streetlight, the abbot and I saw clearly that he had no shadow.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhang Yuan who didn't.Neither did I and the abbot.In the middle of the night, there is a cloudy air, wearing a shroud on your body, and holding incense in your hand, which means that you are a ghost from the underworld, not a human being.

The two of us walked for a while, and suddenly, the abbot coughed lightly in his throat, as if reminding me to pay attention.

I was a little surprised, looked at Zhang Yuan, it was normal, and he was still walking slowly along the river.

I looked at the abbot and asked with my eyes: "What's wrong?"

The abbot winked at me, looking very nervous.

I suddenly realized that what he was looking at was not me, but my back.

My scalp was a little numb, I tilted my head slightly, and swept back from the corner of my eye.

With this scan, I found a face behind my head.

I was startled and was about to cry out.But reason shut me up.At this time, I have to endure.

My legs started shaking and I couldn't walk at all.So I stood on the ground, turned my head slowly, and looked back.

An old lady was lying on my back, her face was full of wrinkles, and her body was shrunk into a ball.She waited and looked at me with curious eyes.I stare at her with nervous eyes.

Then the old lady grinned at me.Showing broken teeth.

My whole body went numb for a while, and I almost fell over.

After a few seconds, the old lady may think that I am not interesting.Actually let go of me and floated elsewhere.

The abbot let out a long sigh of relief and said to me, "It's terrible. Let's go."

I looked back at him, and there was a baby on the abbot's shoulder. I felt cold and couldn't help but take a step back.

The abbot asked me in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

I waved my hand: "It's okay, it's okay."

The two of us continued to walk forward with incense.

Those little ghosts, did they climb up on our shoulders and slip down from time to time?At the end of the day, we finally got used to it and were able to face it calmly.

Sure enough, taking the first step is the most important.I think next, I can learn how to catch ghosts.

In the distance, Zhang Yuan stood at the door of a family, wandering here with his head down, and looked up at the sky from time to time.

Neither of us knew what he was going to do.Hiding far away in the corner.

After waiting for about half an hour, he finally walked into the house.

Five minutes later, he came out, followed by a woman.The woman followed behind him like sleepwalking, and walked out unsteadily.

The two of them had just walked to the middle of the street.Suddenly, someone's dog started barking.Such things as dogs echoed everywhere, and soon, the whole street was full of dogs barking.

The drowsy woman seemed to be awakened.Suddenly he went mad, rushed towards Zhang Yuan, and started fighting with him.

Zhang Yuan was empty-handed and didn't hold the mahogany sword. After tossing with the woman for a while, the woman became more and more courageous in the fight. She scolded and scratched at the same time, and Zhang Yuan gradually lost the wind.
