Chapter 6 Deception

I sat at the entrance of the shop and continued to observe the god Buddha. Cao Yin went to the back room to invite his father.

Every so often, I could hear the sound of crutches hitting the ground.

I looked up towards the inner porch, and a bent old man with a white beard came out with the support of Cao Yin. It seemed that he should be the old Carpenter Cao.

Seeing his appearance, he was a little trembling when he walked, sharpening my knife was really embarrassing for the old man, if Liu Qingfeng hadn't told me ten thousand times, I would never have done this.

I stood up and walked in front of him, bowed to him and said, "Grandpa, can I trouble you to sharpen the knife for me?"

Mr. Cao seemed a little unhappy, "Let me take out the things and have a look."

Having experienced the half-way robbery just now, I became a lot more cautious. After dawdling for a long time, seeing that Mr. Cao became impatient, I slowly took out the dagger and handed it to him.

Mr. Cao took the dagger, put it in front of his eyes and took a closer look, the hand that was leaning on the cane waved the cane away.Holding the dagger in both hands, without bending at the waist, he sternly said to Cao Yin: "Go and close the door, rest today."

Just like that, my whole nerves are tense, what is the purpose of closing the door?And this old man Cao didn't look weak just now, why is he so energetic now, is there something tricky in the middle.

I reached out to snatch the dagger back, but Mr. Cao dodged it.

Although I was very scared in my heart, the soles of my feet began to sweat.I still insisted on pretending to be angry, stared at him, and raised my voice with a fierce look: "What do you want?"

What I didn't expect at all was that Mr. Cao changed his previous attitude and became very respectful.

"Boy, don't be afraid, I just want to ask you where did you get this dagger?"

All of a sudden, my attitude was so good, but my heart was pounding. .

"Old man, if you return the dagger to me, I will tell you."

I saw Mr. Cao's secretive look, as if he didn't want to give me a dagger, so I immediately pretended to be angry and said threateningly: "Don't you dare not give it to me, are you afraid that the thing will want you?"

I just thought of the yellow man who bit me, and wanted to scare Mr. Cao, but his face turned pale.He held the dagger in both hands and handed it to me, lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Don't dare, I will never dare."

I was shocked by Mr. Cao's frightened look, but I didn't dare to show it on the face. I reached out to take the dagger and pretended to be there.

I originally wanted to talk about the ruined temple, but when I suddenly thought of Mu Xuanche, I changed my words and sold Liu Qingfeng.

"It was Daoist Liu who asked me to ask you to sharpen the knife. He is still waiting for me to go back, so hurry up."

Mr. Cao looked up at me suspiciously, but as if he didn't dare to neglect me, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Okay, please give me the knife, and I will immediately remove the mud seal of this treasured knife for you."

I judged that Mr. Cao wouldn't want to hit me with the dagger this time, so I handed the dagger to him.

Mr. Cao entered the back room with a dagger, and told me to wait at the door, and told Cao Yin to take good care of me.Cao Yin and I were a little confused, not knowing what kind of medicine the old man sold in the gourd.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Mr. Cao did not come out.I'm a little anxious, why don't I run away with my dagger, I'm going to see what's going on.

Cao Yin was one step ahead of me, using his tall body to block the door, blocking my way.

Cao Yin and I looked at each other for a while, to see if he would let me go, I just got back to my seat and waited.

After about another cup of tea, Mr. Cao ran out in a hurry, still holding the dagger in his hand.

Seeing this, I hurried up to meet him and asked, "Master, is this dagger okay?"

Mr. Cao looked confident and proud, "It's absolutely fine for my old Carpenter Cao to make a move."

I reached out to take the dagger handed by Mr. Cao, removed the mud-covered dagger, and drew a silver light in the air, which seemed extremely sharp.

I was shocked, even though I don't know much about knives, I found this brand new dagger unusual, no wonder the yellow-skinned leader said it was a treasure.

Now that the dagger has been sharpened, I have to rush back to find Liu Qingfeng and say goodbye to the Cao family.

"Hold on."

Hearing Mr. Cao's voice, my heart skipped a beat. What is this old man going to do again?
While hinting to myself not to be nervous, I turned around and waited for the old man's next step.

Mr. Cao rubbed his hands with a look of embarrassment, "Son, I would like to give you something, how about a favor?"

I kept my mind open and asked first: "Old man, tell me what to do first, and help me if you can."

Trembling, Mr. Cao took out a delicate leather scabbard with some jewels on it from his pocket.He handed the scabbard to me, and said with a smile: "Boy, this scabbard is for you, please do me a favor."

I really valued the scabbard at a glance, as if there was a voice in my heart telling me that I must take it off, I swallowed and waited calmly for Mr. Cao's next words.

"My eldest son was hit and killed by a car three years ago. I want to ask Daoist Liu to ask him about his situation. Please be a favor to build a bridge for him." Mr. Cao was crying while talking.

Isn't his eldest son the evil ghost who tried to harm me on the road just now? I wanted to reject him, but I couldn't bear to see him like that.Poor parents all over the world, took the scabbard from his hand, and said to him: "Old man, I will show your scabbard to Daoist Liu to see if he is willing to help. If he is willing, I will let him accept it. If not , I will return it with the scabbard, what do you think?"

Mr. Cao was a little excited, "Okay, thank you my son."

After bidding farewell to Mr. Cao, I ran back to Daoist Liu's house with a knife in my hand, still terrified of the attack by the evil spirit just now.So I chose to take a detour back, which killed me.

When he rushed to Liu Daochang's house, he almost crawled in.

As soon as I stepped through the door, I yelled inside: "Master Dao, I'm back."

Two people ran out of the room, and when I got closer, I realized that it was my parents.Seeing my distressed appearance, he helped me into the house with distress.

Liu Qingfeng had already prepared the altar in the house, and when he saw me enter the house, he also greeted me, and asked anxiously, "What happened to the dagger?"

I handed over the scabbard dagger, and told Liu Qingfeng what Mr. Cao had explained.

After Liu Qingfeng heard it, he said with a face full of nose: "Old Carpenter Cao really loves the boy, even after he is dead, he pays such a high price to protect him."

Seeing me staring at him, Liu Qingfeng said to me, "Don't worry, I'll accept the things, and I'll do what he's doing." Then he glanced at my dad, and I didn't know his eyes were right. I didn't understand what was going on, so my dad tied him up with a rope.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"What is this for? Why are you tying me up?"

"Dad, talk to me."

Suddenly being tied up, I screamed in fright, even though I knew my parents would never hurt me.But I'm also afraid of being tied up like this, and my dad's posture makes me feel wrong.

But no matter how I shouted, my dad ignored me.I wanted to go to my mother for help, but she helped my father hold my hand to keep me from moving.

While tightening the rope tied to my body, my mother said in a hoarse voice with red eyes, "Yanxi, don't blame Mom and Dad, we are doing this for your own good. Just bear with me, and you'll be fine after today, obedient clam .”

I was very angry, listening to the words of this broken Taoist, and then tied me up with a rope, is it good for me?
Fuck, I seriously suspect that Liu Qingfeng used some means to brainwash my parents, otherwise how could they treat their own daughter like this.

Two fists are no match for four hands. Now I can't match the strength of my parents. I can only let them tie me up and put me on a chair, and then put the whole chair and me on the high platform.

It was Liu Qingfeng's turn to fight, and he walked over with a serious face, and tied the lock of hair I cut from Mu Xuanche's head on mine.

Then he stood in front of me, burned a chapter of yellow talismans, sprinkled a lot of glutinous rice, and began to perform rituals while muttering.

I stared at all this in front of me in a daze, how could I feel like I had become a sacrifice.

Liu Qingfeng waved the mahogany sword, jumping up and down continuously, with his eyes closed, and various spells in his mouth.

"Urgently as ordered, I beg the patriarch to manifest quickly..."

Half a day passed without any change, and I was almost scorched by the sun.Struggling to get down, Liu Qingfeng held him down.

He stretched out his fingers and scratched with the dagger, dripping blood on the mahogany sword, and then started his ceremony again.

This time he moved a lot faster, and he chanted the spell a lot faster.

Slowly, a puff of blue smoke lit up in front of my eyes. I lowered my head to check, and it turned out that the tied lock of hair was burning.

Liu Qingfeng looked extremely happy, turning over and facing me with a mahogany sword in hand.

Just when he was about to approach me, he fell down suddenly, rolled his eyes, and his face began to deform slowly, turning blue and black and purple.The veins on his neck were bulging, and he looked a little scary. He yelled, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth and splashed on my face.

I lowered my head to check on him, only to see the unwillingness and anger on his face when he raised his head, and said something angrily.

"Tricked."

He passed out.
