Bend that ghost

Lu Li looked down at the sleeping young master, and slightly curled his lips. As his strength increased, he became more and more like a living person.After a while, he got off the bed lightly, and tucked up the quilt for the person. He acted carefully and seriously, with an unbelievably gentle expression on his face.

Lu Li got dressed and went out, walked through the passage of the deep underground tomb, and went straight to the west side chamber.It is very symmetrical, and there are three side rooms on the west side, and he walked into one of them with ease.

This one is solemnly placed on a coffin, with exquisite and elegant evergreen pine pictures, and several wooden boxes, one of which has an open lid and does not contain any magical artifacts such as jewelry. There are several scrolls neatly placed.

There is a bookish atmosphere in the gloom.

Lu Li walked over to lean on the coffin, knocked twice and made a muffled sound. He said with a bit of irony, "Why are you hiding when you know I'm back? We're just master and apprentice, so we're just welcoming me like this?"

The coffin board didn't even move a bit, and a nice and gentle voice came out from inside: "Since I said master and apprentice, it is natural for you, the apprentice, to come to visit my master. How can I take the initiative to look for it?"

"Okay, okay." Lu Li said in a long voice, and knocked on the coffin board twice.

The coffin board still didn't move, but a translucent figure sat up, with short dry hair and wearing a dark blue gown from the Republic of China period. He looked less than 30 years old, and his brows were full of the calmness and gentleness of a mature man.

Half of the man's body was outside the coffin, and the other half was inside the coffin. It looked particularly strange in the tomb. He said gently and gently: "Look at your satisfied expression, is it that Master Wen promised you?"

The smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth was not concealed at all, he straightened up slightly, shrugged and said, "You have to ask him to be the head teacher now."

The two were obviously very familiar with each other. Lu Li's familiarity with the person in front of him was second only to his master and young master, because... this was his strict and rigid teacher——Du Xian.

Du Xian is a man who looks gentle and warm, and treats others with courtesy, but...in fact, just looking at Lu Li's banditry, you can see his teacher Du Xian.

But what makes Lu Li helpless is that this person calls himself "my subordinate" to everyone, and it's not just self-effacing or polite, but... more like a habit of obsession.

How can anyone say 'below' to their own students?

And Du Xian's other identity is the ghost who made an agreement with Wen Huaifeng.

Du Xian lowered his eyes and didn't respond to Lu Li's words. He just smiled in a low voice, "You brought that old guy's ashes back? Forget it, tell me, what's the matter here?"

"It's the young master." Lu Li frowned, sighed softly and said, "On the way here, we were stopped by a few bastards from Longhu Mountain. The other party, that thing can't even be used by the master and the old man, and the young master... can't see it now. Logically speaking, the contract between us is to draw my power for him to use when he is in danger, but this time... ...Young master didn't borrow my spiritual energy at all."

Du Xian was startled, and then said: "Your contract is... master and servant?"

"Yeah." Lu Li didn't hide anything, but he didn't want to say more, he just said, "I always feel that there is something different about the young master, but I can't tell it no matter how I look at it. You have been with Master for so many years, you should know more than me, What the hell is going on with the young master? Why can he use Lingji?"

Du Xian pondered for a moment, turned over and floated down from the coffin, and said as he walked out: "After making the contract with Huaifeng, he will talk to me about most things, but there are only two people. He has no deep taboos and rarely mentions to me. .”

"Who?" Lu left the door and followed Du Xian in the tomb passage.

Du Xian looked back at him and said, "You, and Wen Zhijiang."

Lu Li was stunned, and followed Du Xian to another tomb for no apparent reason, "So the master didn't just adopt me to find a successor? He also had other purposes? It's not troublesome for him to go around in circles. Why don't you just follow me?" explain?"

This room is completely different from the one just now, and the area is much larger. The walls are covered with bookshelves, and there is a simple table and chair in the middle, and a few books are placed on the table.

Lu Li often came to this study when he was still in the ancient tomb, so he was quite familiar with it.

Du Xian stood beside the table and sighed softly: "Actually, the father and son Huaifeng and Qi'an are not as rumored. When Qi'an was young, he loved Taoism very much, but Huaifeng refused to teach it no matter what. He drove people out of the ancient tomb when he was an adult. I also asked him why, but he only answered one sentence."

"What?" Lu Li asked subconsciously, he never knew that this was the truth.

Du Xian quietly looked at the ancient scriptures on Wen Huaifeng's table, and sighed: "He said...he is the head teacher of Yinshan, but he is also a father. I believe that he has a last resort, even if the Yinshan inheritance is broken. After Zhijiang was born, he was happy but more worried day and night, and even made a spiritual tablet for Zhijiang himself, until when Zhijiang was four years old, Huaifeng brought you back from the outside when you were eight years old."

Speaking of this, Du Xian paused, and smiled wryly: "Don't ask me, what did your master bring you back for? I don't understand that my son didn't teach, but found a child who was about the same age as my grandson to study the Fa. That day you I also heard what I said in the ancestral hall."

Lu Li was silent.

The spirit card is for the dead. Has Master prepared this spirit card since the day the young master was born?

What happened to those just right spiritual positions?The people who built this tomb knew that the young master would be the last Yinshan headmaster?

On the first day he was brought back by his master, he entered the ancestral hall and added his name to the Wen family tree. On that day, Wen Huaifeng pointed to Wen Zhijiang's spiritual tablet and said that he was the best head teacher, and asked him to protect him in the future. With Wen Zhijiang.

Lu Li vaguely felt that they all seemed to think that Wen Zhijiang must die, and...not a good death.

Reminiscent of Wen Zhijiang's identity as a person who was not reincarnated through reincarnation, maybe this has something to do with the identity of the young master back then.

After searching for a while, Du Xian stood in front of the bookshelf and took out a book, writing four words—Jiusi Notes.

The elegant font has its own style, and the paper is yellow and old, but it is not a real ancient thing, but rather a modern manuscript. The old paper should be the reason why people often read it.

"This is a book that your master often read after Zhijiang was born. You can read it to the last page." Du Xian handed over the booklet.

Lu Li took the book. He often comes to the study, but he has never seen this book.He lowered his eyes and turned the pages of the book to the last page, his pupils shrunk.

There is only one record on it - "Thousands of years have passed, the Wen family's Ghost Festival is the birth of the patriarch, the reincarnated return, the spirit of the silent master returns, the world is in chaos, the people are dying, and the Wen family will die here."

Wen's is absolutely right here.

The words were clear, as if a knife had been inserted into the heart, causing pain.

Lu Li closed the book with trembling hands, and silently read the records in the book, his heart sank completely.

The young master was born on Ching Ming Ghost Festival, and is also the last blood of the Wen family, so it didn't mean that he answered the phrase 'the Wen family will end here'.

Lu Li suddenly realized, but felt a little ironic.

He suddenly remembered that the night before his master was killed, Lu Li had mentioned that he wanted to take Wen Zhijiang's eyes, but Wen Huaifeng reprimanded him head and face.

"If it is for the righteousness of the world, why not sacrifice him alone?"

"He was born for this, it's a responsibility, and it's unavoidable!"

At that time, he thought that the master was referring to the young master as the Wen family's master, so even if he died, he had to bear it.Now it seems that there is another meaning.

Judging from Jiusi's notes, this book should be written by Wen Jiusi, the patriarch of Yinshan Mountain. What did the ancestor thousands of years ago want to say?

As a reincarnation, Wen Zhijiang was born on Ghost Festival, which would lead to chaos in the world, loss of life, and the Wen family would never be seen again.

Lu Li smiled wryly, this fucking... looks like a joke.

Du Xian looked at Lu Li in a state of dismay, with an expression of impatience, and then sighed: "Your master is an excellent forecaster, I guess he knew about this a long time ago, so he refused to teach prayers back then, and only wanted Wen's and the psychic It has nothing to do with the world, maybe he wants to give up Yinshan and save Wen's."

"No." Lu Li closed his eyes and smiled wryly: "Master won't, Master regards Yinshan and the common people more than anything else, if the existence of the young master really caused that kind of scene, then he has already known about the young master How could the underworld, whose name is not on the book of life and death, let him grow up? Even let him take the position of the head teacher of Yinshan?"

Master, it seems that I really understand you, you probably arrived before the young master was born.But what exactly are you trying to do?What if... what is said in the book is true? ?

Lu Li himself wasn't sure, after all, the psychic world and the demon clan had already targeted the young master so clearly, what if... what if the young master was really the reincarnated person who would cause chaos in the world?

"Do you want to tell him?" Du Xian asked softly.

Lu Li pursed his lips, yes, do you want to tell the young master?

He stretched out his hand to support his forehead, the corner of his lips smiled bitterly, and words came out of his throat: "...I will tell him."

Du Xian raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said in astonishment: "Why? You and I are the only ones who know about this. If you don't want him to know, I won't tell you."

Lu Li put down his hands and looked at the Jiusi diary in his hand with complicated eyes, and smiled softly, "I can't make the decision for him. Since it's related to him, I can't hide it from him."

"Okay then..." Du Xian nodded, this is his own choice, he naturally wouldn't get involved, but he couldn't help but said: "To be honest, this matter is not certain, I know you guys They all want to protect Young Master Wen, after all, he is Huaifeng's grandson, but it's best not to tell him about this."

Lu Li laughed, and only said, "I have a sense of proportion."

Seeing that Lu Li had made up his mind, Du Xian didn't say any more. He still knew a little about his apprentice's temper.

Lu Li rolled up Jiusi's notebook and said casually, "Master has already left, why are you still in the mortal world? The contract between you and Master...isn't a master-servant contract?"

Du Xian raised his eyebrows, nodded and said in a warm voice: "It's not true, we live and die together, as long as he hasn't lost his soul, he won't disappear. However, after his physical death, apart from being able to touch the things in the world, he also has nothing to do with ordinary ghosts. It's such a big difference."

"Then why don't you leave?" Lu Li put his arms around his shoulders. It is said that his master brought Du Xian back when Uncle Qi An was five years old. At that time, his wife had passed away for three years, but Du Xian didn't want to walk outside. The time is relatively long.

Now the master is already in the underworld, but Du Xian still lives in this ancient tomb. With the Yinshan deed, he can be a human being in the next life, so why stay here to be a ghost?

Du Xian blinked and said, "Because I still have obsessions."

"Then what is your obsession?" Lu Li asked, he had been curious about Du Xian for a long time.

He also speculated about the relationship between Du Xian and Wen Huaifeng, but he really didn't find any ambiguity between this person and ghost when he got along day and night, so he was even more curious about why Du Xian stayed in this ancient tomb.

Ghosts with obsessions usually hold on to their obsessions and never let go, but Du Xian seems to have no desires and desires, and he just squats in the tomb and sleeps in the coffin every day.

If this is considered an obsession, Lu Li has nothing to say.

A fleeting bitterness flashed across Du Xian's eyes, and then he returned to his gentle look, and said, "Why are you asking these things? I will be satisfied as long as I can sleep in a coffin in this tomb every day."

Land from:"……"

Should I praise you for your pursuit or praise yourself for being too smart?

"Why are you so attached to the coffin?" Lu Li couldn't help asking sincerely.

"The dead should naturally sleep in coffins." Du Xian replied without hesitation, every word was sonorous, decisive, and very sure.

Lu Li pursed his lips: "...but you don't need to sleep at all."

A ghost doesn't need to sleep, and the coffin is also prepared for the corpse. Does he want to enjoy the treatment of the dead?

Du Xian smiled and said: "Naturally, I want to enjoy the life of death."

Lu Li sneered: "...Your pursuit is really unique in heaven and earth."

Du Xian cupped his hands and saluted: "Thank you for your compliment."

Lu Li returned the salute, "You're welcome."

Two people stared at each other, one had a gentle smile, and the other was modest and polite.

Actually, both of them cursed in their hearts—why is this person still in the tomb? ? ?
