Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 22 Funan River

Jiang Chengdao?
I stared blankly at the old man in front of me, but didn't react for a while.My dad and the others want me to worship this old man who I have only met once as my teacher?

I looked at my grandfather, and I didn't understand why he was so fiercely opposed when Daoist Wuwei said he wanted to take me as a disciple, but now he took the initiative to ask me to worship Jiang Chengdao as a teacher. Are real people more powerful?I have also seen the skills of Wuwei Zhenren. The spirit incense in Zhao's courtyard summons demons, and the immobilization spell on the back mountain is all very magical. If this old man is more powerful than Wuwei Zhenren...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get a little excited.

"You son of a bitch, what are you doing so stunned, why don't you hurry up and call someone!" My dad saw me standing there blankly, he slapped me on the head and said loudly.

I was taken aback by my dad, and hurriedly shouted to Jiang Chengdao: "Jiang Daochang!"

My dad frowned immediately, pinched my face and said, "You bastard, you've already been apprenticed to a teacher, and you still call yourself a master? Why is your head as woody as wood?"

I froze for a moment, and then imitated what I saw on TV, and shouted crisply to Jiang Chengdao: "Master!"

Only then did Jiang Chengdao smile, he patted my head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Hey, what a good boy, we will formally perform the ceremony of worshiping a teacher when we return to Mount Qingcheng. But you can't call me master in vain. Come, Master will give you a small gift."

I saw Jiang Chengdao took out a jade pendant, the jade pendant was snow white, with a warm hand, and a lion-like creature with horns on its head was carved on it.Jiang Chengdao put the jade pendant around my neck, and the jade pendant was close to my body. I felt a warmth in my body, and it was indescribably comfortable.My dad was standing beside him, smiling so much that his mouth was crooked, but out of the corner of my eyes, I saw my grandpa's face was ashen, his fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on his face were bursting.

That night, after I worshiped Master, Jiang Chengdao and Mu Yueting did not stay at my house, but rushed to the county seat overnight. Come pick me up again.We watched as Jiang Chengdao and Mu Yueting got into a black Santana and left Tsingyi Village amidst the roar of the car.On the way back to the house, I saw the back of my grandfather looking a little lonely and lonely.

That night, I tossed and turned in bed, thinking that I could learn advanced skills from Jiang Chengdao, and then I could imitate those heroes on TV and show off in front of others, especially Ermao from the next door, I was dumbfounded when I thought of him When she looked at me with a serious expression, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep.

I don't know how long it took, when I fell into that half-dream and half-awake state, I vaguely felt that there were two people standing beside my bed and whispering something.

"Han Tao, do you really want to give the doll to Jiang Chengdao as an apprentice? This is the only doll we have!" This was my mother's voice, and there was a hint of crying when she spoke.

"Ugh."

My dad sighed, and then said: "What can I do? You don't know what my old man looks like. If I hadn't come back in time this time, the girl named Mu would have defeated that monster very well." , or Xuanwazi might have been killed!"

"Besides, Daoist Jiang is very capable. He is very famous in Qingcheng Mountain and the whole Chengdu. If I hadn't formed a good relationship with him when I was helping in Chengdu, I wouldn't be able to invite him to help this time. Xuan Wazi can worship him as a teacher, not to mention expecting him to learn all kinds of skills, but at least it can ensure safety, and it will be good for him to stay away from his grandfather." When my father said this, his voice was still a little joyful.

"Then what should we do with our baby's study? He is ten years old, will he delay going to school? And what will I do when I miss him in the future." My mother covered me with the quilt and said to my father.

"You really have long hair and short knowledge. When you go to Chengdu, Jiang Daochang will naturally find a way for him. Maybe the conditions in Chengdu are not as good as you, Shankaka? When I finish my work here, we will Just go to Chengdu to work, and you can see dolls anytime you want. Besides, I don’t want to stay in the village anymore, this place is really evil.” My dad’s voice was a little low.

I was a little sleepy, and I can't remember what they said later, but I vaguely heard my mother say something before leaving: "I think Xuan Wazi seems to care about that little girl."

My dad laughed and scolded: "He is only ten years old, how can he know what to do? When he was his age, I was still playing with mud in the fields."

When I woke up the next day, I found that the atmosphere in the whole house had changed. Grandpa became taciturn. He was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, smoking a long cigarette, and he didn't know what he was thinking.But my mother pulled me and kept saying some caring words, and made me a lot of delicious food.

But I didn't care about these at all, I just thought in my heart when Master would pick me up and let me learn advanced skills with him.

Time passed in such a hurry, until another night, when the morning sun was shining on the earth, a black Santana stopped at the gate of my house, which attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers, thinking that some big relative had come to my house.

Master was still dressed the same as that day, wearing a blue gown, looking hale and hearty.Mu Yueting was dressed in a Taoist robe, and her delicate face looked like a beautiful picture scroll under the sunlight.

When I walked into the car with a small package full of clothes, I saw my mother squatting on the ground crying, and my father’s eyes were a little red and swollen. I didn’t understand these meanings when I was ten years old, so I laughed. Like the one on TV, he bowed his hands to them and said, "When the child comes back from school, I will repay the kindness of my parents."

I saw that grandpa's face was pale, and he seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and even his straight waist was bent a lot.He said softly to me: "Study hard!"

After getting into Santana, a middle-aged uncle started the car and drove towards Chengdu.This is the first time for me to ride in a car, and Mu Yueting is sitting next to me. She is sitting upright in the car with her eyes closed, which makes me a little nervous and dare not move around.

I don’t know how long it took, when the sky was getting dark, my hands and feet were numb all over my body, the car finally stopped, I got out of the car with the package, and saw Master talking to the middle-aged man, the driver ordered Nod, and drive away.

"Master, are we going to Mount Qingcheng?" I asked excitedly, this was my first time traveling far, and I was extremely curious about all the new things around me.

Master listened to my words and said with a smile: "It's not busy, let's go see an old friend first, Chengdu is not peaceful recently, I have to talk to him about something."

I nodded half understanding, and followed behind Master, looking around as I walked, like a bumpkin who just entered the city, thinking that everything was strange.

Soon, we arrived at the place, and what appeared in front of us was a rushing big river. The water in this river was a bit black, and the stench inside could be smelled from a distance.

"This is the Funan River." Perhaps seeing my confusion, Master explained to me with a smile; "The CD City has been undergoing renovations in recent years, and there are often strange things coming out of it."

I nodded, and soon, I came to a wooden house by the river. This wooden house is very big, and I don’t know when it was built. Some of the wood is covered with moss.There were no other houses around, and the wooden house seemed a bit lonely because of its own family.

Master led us to the front of the house, he knocked on the door, and then stood at the door and waited.

"Master, do you really want to look for him? This old man has a weird temper." Mu Yueting, who had never spoken, suddenly said.

I saw Master nodded to her, and said: "Taoism's five veins in the mountain doctor's fate divination, this Chengdu land boundary divination technique is the most proficient in this old man Li, this time the matter is really complicated, especially when it involves Dujiangyan." I always feel uneasy in my heart.”

After a while, the dilapidated wooden door suddenly opened with an extremely unpleasant sound, which startled me.

An old man with gray hair and thin body came out of the house. He stood at the door without even looking at my master and Mu Yueting, but just stared at me.

I saw that the two eyeballs in the old man's eyes were full of cloudy whites, which looked very scary. He turned out to be a blind man!He just stared at me like this, making me hairy all over, and a layer of goosebumps crawled all over my skin.

"Old man Li, you scared my apprentice." My master stood in front of me with a smile, blocking the scary appearance of old man Li.

"Quack, no wonder I had a whim early this morning, and I counted a distinguished guest coming to the door. It turns out that he is your old fellow's apprentice, what a blessing!" Old Man Li let out a strange laugh, with a sharp and piercing voice,
My master smiled, and pulled old man Li into the house, I saw that the old man had an evil smile on his face when he turned around, and he said: "Little guy, don't run around tonight. "

I just felt a chill hit me, and I backed away again and again, not daring to get close to this weird old man. Fortunately, my master quickly pulled him into the house.

"Wait and follow me, don't walk around."

With a clear and pleasant voice, my senior sister Mu Yueting said something in my ear, and my heart felt warm when I heard it, and I nodded heavily.

The master dragged the old man into the back room, not knowing what to say, while Mu Yueting sat aside and closed her eyes to rest.I feel a little bored, sitting on a stool in a daze.

After a while, I felt a little distended in my lower abdomen, which was very uncomfortable.I stood up and walked outside.

"Where are you going?" Mu Yueting opened her eyes, looked at me and asked.

I was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "I...I'm going to pee."

Mu Yueting nodded, and continued to close her eyes, as if she was meditating.

I opened the wooden door and stood by the Funan River, feeling extremely cool with a gust of wind, but the smell in the Funan River was really unpleasant.

I had just finished working out my physical problems and was about to turn around and go back when I suddenly felt like something was grabbing my left ankle.

When I looked down, the hairs all over my body stood on end in fright, and my heart was beating like thunder.

At my ankle, there was a black, fluffy hand grasping it, and a pair of egg-sized eyes appeared on the water close to me, staring at me with a dazzling red light...
