My master is the coffin

Chapter 38
Zhang Yuan said that the wizard led countless Taoists to attack the underworld, and everyone was cursed and turned into ghost slaves.

Lying on the bed, I couldn't help thinking of a sentence: "If you don't die, you won't die."

I couldn't help but sighed.Said: "Those people don't know what's good and what's wrong, they made mistakes, why should they blame us?"

Zhang Yuan sighed and remained silent.After a while, he said slowly: "I want to save my daughter." Then he looked at me and the abbot: "You two have to help me."

Before I could speak, the abbot flinched again and again: "Don't pull me, I don't know anything."

I thought about it, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Where is that coffin shop? Who is that dumb man?"

Zhang Yuan said lightly: "I've never been in there before. There are real ghost messengers. We send the ghosts there, presumably, they send them to the underworld. As for the dumb you mentioned, I've never seen them either. .”

I scratched my head: "You have been making trouble for a long time, and you don't know anything."

Zhang Yuan rubbed the mahogany sword in his hand: "Judging from your experience yesterday, it should be very dangerous there. Just when you lay down on the wall, your soul was hooked away. This skill is definitely not something we can compete with."

The abbot was overjoyed: "Since we are going to die, we don't have to go?"

Zhang Yuan smiled: "However, you were able to escape safely in the end, which means that there is no way out there. Let's study and plan carefully, and it may not be impossible to succeed."

The abbot had a bitter expression on his face: "Master Zhang, you two, master and apprentice, just go, why did you drag me?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the abbot, and said lightly, "Because you are a predestined person."

At the beginning, the abbot resolutely refused to go.But Zhang Yuan was both intimidating and tempting. In the end, the abbot had no choice but to look for Buddhist scriptures in his pile of books with a sad face.Said to bring a self-defense book.

During the meal, I asked Zhang Yuan: "Master, what's the matter with the injury on my body?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Your soul has been bitten by a ghost. Therefore, your body has been poisoned by ghosts accordingly. In fact, generally speaking, your own kung fu is not good enough, and the use of yin and yang is not good. This is For a period of time, you can recuperate in peace of mind and practice the Taoism I taught you. When you are almost done, we will kill you and avenge you."

I thought while eating: "Avenge me? What you said sounds nice."

In the next few days, I almost endured inhuman torture.This time is the turn of spring and summer.There is a large temperature difference between day and night.It can heat people to death at noon, and it can freeze people to death at night.

Zhang Yuan chose the hottest time at noon, and asked me to run around the stinky river, put on thick winter clothes, and sit cross-legged in the yard.As the name suggests, use the Yin Qi in your body to counteract the Yang Qi at noon.

At the beginning, I suffered from heatstroke almost every day, and my clothes smelled so bad that I could suffocate people to death.It wasn't until half a month later that I gradually got used to it.

The key is that I sit in the Dasheng Temple and practice.The abbot still received guests as usual.Soon, those pilgrims who came to offer incense began to spread word of mouth that there was a fool in the Dasheng Temple, who was wearing a down jacket in the summer, and refused to take it off because of the heat and sweating profusely.

As a result, the flow of people in Dasheng Temple soared.The abbot was so happy from ear to ear.

This is not over, every day at the coldest time of night, I have to take off my clothes, take a cold shower, and then sit by the river.The euphemistic name is to use your own yang energy to resist the yin energy by the river.

I exercise every day like a neurotic, and the abbot is watching the fun happily.I said to the abbot, "Don't be too happy, kid. After two days we will kill you at the coffin shop, will you survive? Come on, come on, let's practice together."

The abbot's smiling face immediately turned into a crying face, and he turned his head and went into the meditation room to chant sutras.

Half a month later, my injuries were almost healed.I still don't feel Zhang Yuan's so-called yin and yang.However, I can really feel it, and my body is getting stronger and stronger.Wake up every day refreshed.

Moreover, my mahogany sword turned dark red because of the blood dripping every day.When it shines under the sun, it looks shiny, and it looks a little bit different.

These days, Zhang Yuan has not been idle.After practicing meditation all day long, the paleness on my face before has disappeared.

The day to go to the coffin shop finally came.During dinner, Zhang Yuan said to the two of us: "Let's go to the coffin shop tomorrow."

The abbot shivered suddenly: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Ye Chang has many dreams, I can't procrastinate any longer. My Taoism has returned to its peak. Xu You's ability has also been practiced a little bit."

I rubbed my head: "It's a little success? Why didn't I feel it?"

Zhang Yuan smiled: "You will feel it tomorrow." Then, he reached out and took out a few pieces of yellow paper, and gave them to the abbot and me: "This is the ghost-suppressing talisman. Take it with you, at least it will make those ghosts fearful." .”

The abbot was obviously still a little scared: "Master Zhang, the last time we went there, we were hooked away by someone as soon as we climbed the wall. They are too powerful, let's make a good plan."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "You don't have to worry about this. I'll go to step on the spot first tonight. Tomorrow in the daytime, when the yang energy is at its peak, let's rush in and catch him by surprise. Maybe we will succeed."

I couldn't help worrying and said: "There are very evil people there, can you do it yourself?"

Zhang Yuan said confidently: "Don't worry. If there is any danger, with my knowledge, I can run for my life. The two of you are waiting for me at the Great Sage Temple. Don't run around."

The abbot and I nodded blankly.

After Zhang Yuan finished his meal, he set off with a peach-wood sword in hand. The abbot and I sat nervously in the hall and waited.

An hour passed, and the abbot asked, "Why haven't you come back?"

I waved my hand: "Don't worry, the coffin is laid out in the suburbs, master is probably still on his way."

An hour and a half passed, and Zhang Yuan still did not appear.

The abbot couldn't help asking again: "Why hasn't the one who stepped on the spot come back?"

I was also a little uneasy, but I deceived myself and said, "Maybe Master is reluctant to spend money to sit and is walking on the road."

Two hours passed, Zhang Yuan still did not move.This time the abbot didn't ask any more questions, because he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.

I kept pacing up and down the hall, not knowing what to do.

Although Zhang Yuan lied to me, after all, he has been a master and apprentice for such a long time.After all, there is still some emotion.

I wanted to save him, but when I thought about how many catties I had, I couldn't help but sigh and walk back.

At this moment, suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the yard.The ever-burning lamp on the main hall flickered and went out.

The room was plunged into darkness, only the moonlight outside came in.

I was a little scared and pushed the abbot.However, the abbot slept like a dead man, motionless, not even snoring.

I murmured in my heart: "This is not normal, is there something dirty? No, no, this is a Buddhist hall. Is there a lonely ghost who dares to come here?"

As I was thinking this way, I suddenly heard someone calling me: "Xu You..."

The voice was very familiar, and I recognized it immediately, it was Zhang Yuan.

I was overjoyed and quickly shouted: "Master, are you back?"

Then I looked around and looked outside, but the yard was empty and there was no one there.

I'm wondering if I've heard it wrong.

Then, another voice called: "Xu You."

This sound made me shudder.I followed the sound and looked towards the corner of the wall, and found a dark shadow there.

I rubbed my eyes, yes, it was a figure.Sticking to the wall for no reason.

I tentatively asked, "Master, is that you?"

The image of that person is a wisp of green smoke, floating back and forth in the direction of the corner: "It's me, Xu You, save me quickly."

Although I don't know what happened, I can feel that Zhang Yuan's situation is not good.I quickly picked up the match from the altar: "Wait for me, I will light the lamp."

Zhang Yuan said anxiously: "Don't turn on the light. I'm too weak now. A little yang energy might wash away me."

I anxiously asked: "Then what should I do?"

Zhang Yuan told me, "Go to the river and fetch a pot."

I didn't ask much, just picked up a washbasin and rushed out.

The river outside the Dasheng Temple is very smelly.I squatted by the river, and the stench from the water surface almost made me faint.

I didn't dare to neglect, I took a basin of water slowly, and walked towards the temple at a trot.

When he just walked to the temple gate, he stumbled and the washbasin in his hand almost flew out.I staggered two steps desperately, and finally stood firm.However, a little half of the water in the basin has been poured out.

When I ran to the main hall, the abbot was still sound asleep.Got the figure still hovering in the corner.

I called out, "Master, the water is here."

Zhang Yuan's voice was gloomy, and he ordered: "Put down the basin and stay away from me."

I did as I was told.Then, I saw Zhang Yuan slowly float over and melt into the basin of water.

Then, I heard a voice: "Take off the ghost-suppressing talisman on your body, and walk over slowly, reporter, follow what I taught you, release the yin energy from your body, and restrain the yang energy."

I nodded at a glance, trying to restrain my yang energy.A few seconds later, I felt that the surrounding area was getting colder and colder, and I couldn't help shivering.

Then, I went to the washbasin.I found a vaguely disheveled face there, and I asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

That face said leisurely: "Xu You, we underestimated the coffin shop too much. I was tricked. Only the soul escaped back."

I felt sore in my heart: "Master, have you been killed?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "It's just that the soul is hooked out. Just like you."

I said anxiously: "What should we do? What should we do now?"

When I was in a hurry, I couldn't help but get angry, the water in the washbasin made waves, and Zhang Yuan's face seemed to be washed away by me.
