My master is the coffin

Chapter 36 Master's Daughter

The villagers left disappointed.And the abbot and I were not in a calm mood.

Everything that happened just now was too unbelievable for the two of us.

Although the abbot is much older than me, he obviously doesn't have any opinions on this kind of matter. He asked me with a blank face: "Xu You, what should we do?"

I thought about it: "How about we go back to the Great Sage Temple first? Then find an opportunity to follow Master's words well and see where he came from."

The abbot thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

The two of us tossed all night, and it was almost dawn by this time.

We lied to Zhang Yuan during the day, but ended up staying out all night, and we don’t know what he thinks now.

The abbot and I walked side by side for a while, left the village, and headed for the city.Suddenly, I felt a tingling pain in my calf, as if something had bitten my leg, even the flesh.

I couldn't help but gasped, groaned, and knelt on the ground on one knee.

The abbot quickly squatted down and asked me with concern: "Xu You, what's wrong with you?"

I propped my hands on the ground, and beads of sweat fell from my forehead.I gritted my teeth and squeezed out a few words from my throat: "It hurts, my right leg hurts."

The abbot hurriedly supported me to sit on the ground, and then pulled up my trousers.

With this pull, both of us gasped.

A dark spot appeared on my calf and was festering at a visible rate.

I felt a chill in my heart: "This position is exactly where the dead man bit me."

I just thought of this when suddenly, there was a pain in my back.The whole back is hot, as if someone is ironing it with a soldering iron.

I couldn't help but yelled and fell to the ground.I pressed my back against the cold road, trying to relieve the pain in this way.But the burning sensation has penetrated into the bones, no matter how hard I struggle, it won't help.

I turned pale from the pain, and the abbot turned pale from fright.

I lay on the ground and kept screaming: "I'm paralyzed, it hurts me to death."

The abbot sat on the ground and kept howling: "Xu You, can you do it? I don't know the way when you're dead."

When I heard this sentence, I was so angry that I burst into a rage, endured the pain and said: "Take a taxi, find a taxi quickly, and go back to the Great Sage Temple, only Master can save me."

At this time, I was as clear as a mirror in my heart, knowing that the festering on my body was probably related to those dead bodies.So I asked the abbot to take a taxi and hurry back to the Dasheng Temple.

At this time, it is the time when the sky will be bright but not yet bright.There are basically no people on the road.Except for some unkempt young men dressed as students, who had just returned from a night out at an Internet cafe.Therefore, finding a taxi at this time is simply extremely difficult.

When the abbot and I finally got into the car, it was already half an hour later.

I sat in the car with my eyes slightly closed.At this point I can no longer feel the pain.Not only did he not feel pain, he almost couldn't feel his own body at all.

The taxi driver sniffed and asked in surprise, "Why is it so smelly?"

The abbot smiled sarcastically: "I haven't washed my feet much recently."

The driver shook his head: "No, you smell of beriberi and stinky meat. Huh?" The driver saw that I was sitting in the back seat without saying a word, shaky, and couldn't help asking: "Is this person you brought alive or not?" dead?"

The abbot was a little unhappy: "How do you talk? A curse man with a red mouth and white teeth?"

I opened my mouth with difficulty and made a hoarse voice: "Master, don't worry, I'm still alive."

It’s okay that I didn’t make a sound, but when I spoke, the driver stopped in fright, and couldn’t help cursing: “Dude, your voice scared me to death. Seeing you like this, even if you didn’t die, it should be fast, right? "

The abbot urged: "You know it's almost time to leave? Dasheng Temple, if you don't go, you will really die."

The driver had no choice but to speed up and said, "Feudal superstition kills people. If you are sick, you don't go to the hospital, but you go to see the Bodhisattva."

The abbot and I ignored him.We are so anxious, how can we have the heart to talk nonsense with him?
The taxi turned a few corners, and my consciousness has gradually become a little blurred.

Suddenly, I smelled a familiar smell.I was overjoyed: "The stinky river has arrived." Sure enough, after 2 minutes, the driver stopped the car, and I heard him say, "Here we are."

The abbot dragged me out of the taxi, put me on his back, and ran towards the Dasheng Temple with small steps while complaining: "Xu You, your body is a little sticky."

I was disgusted.There was a sense of weakness from the bottom of my heart.I cursed weakly: "Paralyzed." Then, I couldn't open my eyes anymore.

It is said that when a person dies, the sense of hearing is the last to disappear.I feel that feeling fully now.I couldn't see or feel anything, but I could still hear some sounds vaguely.

I heard the conversation, one anxious, one surprised.But I can't hear the content of the conversation clearly, because my brain is almost not mine anymore...

I don't know how long I stayed in the dark.

I heard someone calling me, I opened my eyes and saw Abbot and Zhang Yuan standing beside me.

I said weakly: "Master, you still saved me."

Zhang Yuan kept silent with a cold face.

The abbot smiled happily: "My contribution is not small. If it weren't for me, you would have become a pile of rotten meat."

Zhang Yuan looked at me and said coldly, "Since you've woken up, let's talk about what's going on. I don't understand what this bald donkey is saying."

Although Zhang Yuan has a weird temper, he never called the abbot "bald donkey".Now that I hear him say these two words, I can't help but want to laugh.

The abbot blushed and said, "Why don't you understand? I've made it clear enough. We both had the same dream, but it might be an out-of-body experience. Anyway, I hid in the coffin , but your apprentice insisted on fighting with the dead, and ended up being bitten like this."

I shook my head involuntarily, and thought to myself: "No wonder Master can't understand. It seems that the abbot didn't have the guts to tell the story of discovering that Master was sent by a ghost. Cutting off the beginning and the end, it sounds a bit confused." I thought about it. Thinking, said to the abbot: "Help me."

I sat up from the bed and looked at my body, which was almost covered with bandages.I touched my body, and I have regained my senses. It seems that this life is saved.

I was thinking about how to tell Zhang Yuan about this.Whether to tell them all, or to test slowly.

At this time, Zhang Yuan took out a mahogany sword and asked me, "Where did this come from?"

I took a look, and this sword belonged to the girl in the coffin.

Instead of telling him directly, I asked, "Master knows this sword?"

Zhang Yuan nodded, and said flatly, "I made this sword."

My heart moved, and it seemed that I had guessed right.

So I didn't hide anymore, and said: "I met a beautiful woman, about my age, and she was pretty. This sword was taken from her hand."

Zhang Yuan looked a little strange, and asked eagerly, "Where is she? How did you meet her?"

I didn't answer him, but asked instead, "Master knows him?"

Zhang Yuan looked a little anxious, but he breathed a sigh of relief: "I said before that my wife was killed, and then my daughter disappeared inexplicably. This sword belongs to my daughter. Where are you? Where did you see her?"

Although he had already vaguely guessed that this beauty must have something to do with Zhang Yuan, but he really didn't expect that they were father and daughter.

At this time, I no longer concealed it, stared at Zhang Yuan, and said, "It's at the coffin shop."

Zhang Yuan's expression flustered for a while: "Which coffin shop?"

I continued, "It's the coffin shop where you sent the ghost."

Zhang Yuan's expression changed: "How do you know where it is?"

I forced myself to stand up and looked straight at Zhang Yuan: "Not only do I know where it is, but I also know that you are a ghostly messenger."

Zhang Yuan and I didn't speak, and the two stared at each other, as if they were competing with each other.Whoever gets discouraged first loses.

I had not recovered from my severe injuries, and I barely stood on the ground for a while, only to feel dizzy and about to fall down.I only heard Zhang Yuan let out a long breath: "I originally planned to tell you when you have achieved some success in practicing kung fu."

As soon as I heard this, I knew Zhang Yuan was going to tell me the truth.He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sat down on the bed.

Zhang Yuan looked at the abbot: "You want to listen too?"

The abbot stared: "Why didn't I listen?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Since you have also participated, it's okay to tell you, but after listening, don't regret it."

After saying this, the abbot's face began to show hesitation. He looked at Zhang Yuan: "After listening, is there any danger?"

Zhang Yuan ignored him, just looked at me, and said, "Tell me first, how is she doing now? Is she alive or dead?"

I naturally knew that Zhang Yuan was asking about his daughter. After thinking about it, I replied: "I don't know whether she is alive or dead. When I saw her, she was lying in a coffin. But, I could hear her talking, Moreover, I feel that she deliberately asked me to take this sword away."

Zhang Yuan's eyes became complicated: "The coffin shop? Lying in the coffin? Could it be that they took her away?"

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a while, then said to me: "That's right, I am indeed a ghost messenger. But don't be afraid, I don't want to do this either, I was also forced."

I was surprised and said: "Forced?" At the beginning, I thought Zhang Yuan was born with bad luck, but I didn't expect that he was forced to do nothing.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said to me: "Do you still remember the old man in the third bed?"

I thought for a while: "Is it the prison boss who harmed Li Xiaoxing's family before?"

Zhang Yuan nodded, and then said: "He used to be a ghost messenger. Moreover, he was also forced. Originally, his lifespan was over, so he deserved to die, but he used the Taoism he had learned all his life, against the sky, and hid in the east XZ , stay in the world to live on."
