Taboos in the Underworld: Starting from being paid a lot of money to beg for a child

Both Master and Mistress sat at the stone table without touching the dishes.

I sat opposite Master and naturally I didn't dare to touch the dishes.

But I was really hungry, and I swallowed a little when I looked at the delicious food in front of me.

The master looked at his watch and said, "Why haven't you come yet?"

The mistress turned her head and looked outside and said, "It should be soon."

I felt strange and couldn't help but ask:

"Master, Master, who are we waiting for?"

The master didn't say anything. Just when the master's wife was about to answer me, she saw the sound of Tiedan barking coming from outside.

The mistress laughed and said, "Here we come."

I looked at the door, and a black shadow rushed in from outside the yard. It was the little black dog named Tiedan.

I was speechless for a while. Are we waiting for Tiedan to eat?

This is too funny. Does a dog still need to use bowls and chopsticks to eat?

But Tiedan didn't get on the stone bench. He just circled around us and then ran to the bowl placed at the kitchen door and started eating the rice in the bowl.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm a little late."

While I was still looking at Tiedan eating, another voice came from the door.

What makes me even more incredible is that this voice is actually a female voice, and it sounds very nice.

I quickly moved my eyes from Tiedan to the door. A girl only about 1.6 meters tall appeared at the door.

He has delicate features, a fair face, and simple clothes. He wears an ordinary blue jacket with ordinary jeans and a ponytail. He walks towards the stone table in the middle with a smile on his face.

Her movements were very light, and there was a sense of grace and grace in her demeanor.

He looks young in appearance, but has a mature temperament.

For a moment, I couldn't tell her age.

But when I heard her call her master, I was a little shocked. I just became a master yesterday. Could this girl be my senior sister?

Neither Master nor Mistress spoke. I quickly stood up and said to the girl:

"Hello, senior sister..."

To be honest, I'm really not used to calling a girl who looks a few years younger than me senior sister.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Who told her to let me not see through her age? It is always better to be cautious.

"Huh? Who are you? Why do you call me senior sister? Do I look very old?"

The girl looked at me doubtfully and slowly sat down on the stone bench.

I looked at her awkwardly, not knowing how to answer. I turned to look at Master, but Master just said calmly:

"Everyone is here, let's eat."

I looked at the mistress again. The mistress just pursed her lips, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

I looked at the girl again, and she just whispered three words: Eat without speaking.

There are so many rules here, I thought to myself.

After eating a meal in silence, none of the four of them said anything. After finishing the meal, the master put down the bowl and went directly to his room. The master's wife got up and picked up a small yellow rice bowl and walked to the chicken coop to feed the chickens. .

The girl started to clear away the dishes and chopsticks on the table. I quickly stood up to help. While collecting the dishes and chopsticks, I asked in a low voice:

"Can I talk now?"

"Come on, no one has sewn your mouth shut. By the way, what do you do?"

She asked while putting away the bowls and chopsticks on the table, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if she didn't like me.

"My name is Liu Die, my wizard father's new apprentice. I don't know what I call my senior sister."

She laughed and said:

"Your name is really awesome. Master Guang is so awesome, why should you accept a disciple with a name like Liu Die?"

"My surname is Liu, a dagger from a dagger. Why do you call me Master Guang, Master Zhang? Could it be..."

Before I finished speaking, she interrupted me and said:

"That's right, my master is your master's wife, so I call you master and master, and you call me master and master, so you don't need to call me senior sister. We learned different things. What's more, do I look that old? ?”

I was a bit confused by her question and didn't know how to answer. It turned out that she was not the master's apprentice, so I just said, no girl can learn these things.

If you are a girl, how strong your mental ability must be.

And I also heard that it is much more difficult for women to learn Taoism than for men.

"No, no, no, my senior sister is just an honorific title, it has nothing to do with age."

I quickly picked up the bowls, turned around and walked to the faucet.

She said to herself behind:

"But you should also call me senior sister. I have been here for more than two years. From now on, you can call me senior sister."

I washed the dishes and muttered:

"It's so boring. I've already told you my name, but you won't tell me what your name is."

The words were spoken in a moderate voice, just enough for her to hear.

She came over and said, "Listen, my name is Wen Jing, but you still have to call me senior sister from now on, you know? I suddenly like this title. Also, you are the youngest now, so from now on you will be responsible for washing dishes. You got it covered."

I was busy washing the dishes and said sarcastically:

You really live up to your name, quite quiet. "

"That's right, I'm just so quiet. Junior brother, please wash slowly. I'm going back to my room to rest first. I worked hard all night last night and I'm exhausted."

After the senior sister finished speaking, she swaggered towards the room that I thought was the utility room.

It turns out that she really lives here, and there is only a kitchen between her room and mine.

But what does this senior sister do?

Actually worked all night?

And she said that she was the apprentice of Master Niang, so what did Master Niang do?

Faced with so many questions, I felt panicked. As soon as I finished washing the dishes, I walked into Master's room.

The master was sitting at the desk, holding a book with various runes on it in his left hand, and a pencil in his right hand, constantly drawing symbols similar to those in the book on a piece of white paper.

"Master, I have a few questions to ask you." I said.

The master nodded, put down the pencil in his hand, turned to me and said:

"Wen Jing is your master's wife's apprentice. Your master's ability is different from mine. She is a witch. The person you saw last night was the one who came to invite your master to do yin. But after Wen Jing became her disciple, she also talked to me. I have learned a lot, so you are right to call me Senior Sister. If you don’t understand anything in the future learning process, you can ask her for advice. She is very talented and can understand everything with a little bit. "

I said oh, master speaks so highly of senior sister.

I started to take a new look at that senior sister who was not very attractive.

"Then can I learn to walk in the dark with my wife?"

I have also heard of walking in the yin. It seems that you can invite the people below to come to your body. This method is a way to communicate with the deceased.

Some people even say that people who walk in the underworld are the medium between the underworld and the underworld, and can leave their souls and go to the underworld to do things.

This is a very magical method. If I can learn a little bit, will it be helpful to my attainments in Taoism?

The master said: "Of course, as long as you have the talent, you can also learn from my master."

"Master, why don't you live with your wife?"

I don’t know why, but this question suddenly popped up in my mind.

The master pondered for a moment and said nothing. He stood up and said:

"In the next three days, I will teach you something behind closed doors. After three days, you go down the mountain and solve your troubles by yourself."

As soon as I heard this, I felt a little excited. I knew that the trouble Master mentioned about me should be referring to the evil spirit that had taken over Yu Man's body.

But is three days really enough?

It’s not that I don’t have confidence in myself, it’s just that I’ve seen that evil trick before.

My fear of it has gone deep into my heart. I seem to have no ability to resist in front of it. I am as weak as a piece of tofu. Whatever it wants to mold me into, I will be molded into whatever it wants.

"Is it really possible?"

I asked without confidence.

The master turned around and walked out, saying as he walked:

"If you can't, it means you are not worthy of being my disciple, Wu Guang. So, if you don't solve the problem after you go down the mountain, you don't have to come back."

After hearing this, I felt a chill in my heart and quickly followed Master out.

I secretly made up my mind to study hard, show it to Master, and prove to myself that Master was not wrong about me.

Master walked all the way into the ancestral hall, and I followed him into the ancestral hall and closed the door...
