Since moving to this courtyard, Yuxiu hasn't slept well for several nights in a row, for fear of hearing those strange noises again in her sleep, or opening her eyes to see a figure standing in front of the bed.

But for unknown reasons, after that night, the evil god never appeared again.

In a flash, it was the fifteenth full moon again, and the courtyard that had been silent for nearly a month finally became lively. The servants came in and out to arrange the scene of Huaishan's practice.

Seeing Huai Shan and her two senior brothers again, Yu Xiu was moved to tears.

He considers himself a person who can endure loneliness, but the days he spent here made him feel abandoned by everyone. He was trapped in this empty and dilapidated courtyard. The only people he could see every day were to deliver meals at regular intervals. servant.

It's just that those servants couldn't avoid it here, and ran away impatiently after completing their tasks.

So much so that during this period of time, the person he talked to the most turned out to be the evil god who lived here with him—of course, he begged the evil god to spare his life in his heart.

In fact, apart from coming here every day to offer incense, he didn't even dare to approach this place, and he didn't even dare to make too much noise when fetching water, for fear of disturbing the cleanliness of the evil god.

The past was unbearable, Yuxiu quietly wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and then excitedly greeted Huai Shan and the two senior brothers: "Master! Eldest brother! Second senior brother!"

Huaishan walked towards him with two senior brothers.

After approaching, Huai Shancai asked: "How are these days going?"

Yuxiu thought that his life was not good at all, he was worried every day, and he couldn't sleep well. The only thing better than before was that he didn't have to get up to work before dawn, and he didn't even have to cook by himself. Just lie in bed and rest.

Oh, by the way, one thing to say, the food here is really good, he can eat two bowls of rice every meal.

But whether these words are good or bad, it's not easy to say them directly, Yuxiu thought for a while, sniffed and said: "It's pretty good, Master."

But Huaishan nodded and said, "Yes, I can see it."

Yuxiu looked bewildered: "Huh?"

Huai Shan said: "You have gained weight."

Yuxiu was stunned.

No, he's not he didn't, let him explain...

However, Huaishan didn't give Yuxiu a chance to explain, put his hand on his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Stupid people have stupid blessings, sometimes it's a good thing to have a big heart."

Yuxiu opened his mouth but didn't say a word, for a while he couldn't tell whether Huaishan was praising him or hurting him.

After Huaishan left, the senior brother took a few words of concern for him and followed him, leaving only the second senior brother to sweep him from head to toe with indescribable gazes.

After a while, the second senior brother muttered, "I really gained weight."

In fact, gaining weight is not a bad thing for Yuxiu, not to mention that Yuxiu is still young and still in the stage of growing her body. In the past, Yuxiu was as thin as a monkey with thin arms and legs, so she could only do a few things. The easy work of cleaning and cooking, if you encounter monsters, you may not even be able to escape.

Moreover, the fatter Yuxiu looked more juicy than before, with a little baby fat on her white and tender cheeks, her round almond eyes were like black grapes, black and bright.

The second senior brother was five years older than Yuxiu, and seeing Yuxiu grow from a baby in her infancy to the young boy she is now, it was the first time he discovered that his little senior brother had such a handsome appearance.

No wonder many wives and girls offered to bring fruit and snacks to Yuxiu every time she went down the mountain.

At first the second senior brother was worried that Yuxiu would not be able to eat or sleep well here, but now it seems that he is overthinking.

While the second senior brother thought it was funny, he also felt lucky—fortunately, Yuxiu was fine.

Soon, the servants finished setting up the scene neatly, and Huaishan also started to prepare for the ceremony.

Large sheets of white smoke spread in the air like last time.

Even though Yuxiu lived here for a while, she was used to the smell of incense candles, but she was suddenly hit by this thick smoke, and she still couldn't hold back her cough.

He choked until tears came out, and he wondered unconsciously, does the evil god really like these smokes?

If he is an evil god, he definitely doesn't like it. He would rather these people pick a few fresh flowers during the offering.

The ceremony lasted for an hour.

After Huaishan finished his work, Jiang Fuci hurriedly ordered the servants to clean up the scene and quickly retreated from the courtyard.

Yuxiu came to the place where he chanted sutras last time, sat cross-legged under the red lantern, and when he took out the wooden fish and wooden fish mallet, he inevitably became nervous.

Last time the evil god suddenly appeared while he was chanting, will this time be the same as last time?

Although Yuxiu repeatedly asked the evil god to do his best, he was not afraid of the appearance of the evil god at all. The last experience left him with a lot of psychological shadows, and now thinking about it, he is a little scared.

He could only keep comforting himself - the left and right evil gods didn't intend to kill him for the time being, so let's just be scary in a scary way, and it's better to be scared than to lose your life.

But what comforted Yuxiu was that the last time she chanted sutras was at night, but this time she chanted sutras during the day, the scorching sun scorched the earth, emitting circles of golden light.

Under the blue sky/sunlight, the fear piled up in Yuxiu's heart was gradually suppressed.

He closed his eyes, meditated, and concentrated on chanting scriptures while beating the wooden fish, and swore to himself that no matter what sounds he heard this time, he would never open his eyes.

But for some reason, he didn't hear those weird noises until after he finished chanting.

When I opened my eyes, it was already sunset.

The light slowly converged to the sky, and the layers of Huoshaoyun stretched and lingered, and that silky green light band was shining brightly in the Huoshaoyun.

Yuxiu stared at this weird and miraculous scene for a while, then she collected her thoughts, packed her things, got up and walked down the corridor.

Jiang Fuci was still waiting outside, but the difference was that when he left this time, he did not show a relaxed expression, but personally sent the master and apprentice to the East Wing with a heavy expression.

Huaishan guessed what Jiang Fuci was worried about, so he invited Jiang Fuci into the room and called Yuxiu over.

There were only three of them in the room, and Jiang Fuci couldn't hold back the panic in his heart any longer, and asked impatiently, "Did you see him?"

Yuxiu naturally knew who Jiang Fuci was referring to, so she shook her head.

"No?" Jiang Fuci was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly, "He didn't show up?"

Yuxiu still shook her head.

"Then did he show up in the days when you lived in the past?"

"Sir, no."

"Not once?" Jiang Fuci couldn't believe it, then remembered something, and said in a deep voice, "Little Master, think about it carefully, is it possible that he showed up before but you didn't notice it, think about it, is there anything weird about it. "

Yuxiu had no choice but to watch Jiang Fuci's brow break out in cold sweat, so she simply told him everything he did after moving there.

After confirming again and again that the evil god did not show up, Jiang Fuci leaned back, stared straight at Huaishan who was frowning, and muttered: "How... how..."

"Master Huaishan." Jiang Fuci said, "Didn't you say it's time? Why is he still silent?"

Huaishan sighed, "The poor monk can't tell."

"In this way, don't we..." Jiang Fuci stopped abruptly after speaking halfway through. He glanced at Yuxiu, swallowed the rest of his words, and told Yuxiu, "Little master, as long as the evil god If there is any movement over there, please let us know, it is very important to us."

Yuxiu subconsciously tensed up under Jiang Fuci's extremely serious eyes, and nodded quickly.

Afterwards, Jiang Fuci sent Yuxiu away, chatted with Huaishan in the room for a long time, and then led the servants who were guarding outside to leave.

Yuxiu finished his dinner here, the two servants who came to take him back were already waiting outside, they were the two young servants who sent him there last time.

As the sky was getting dark, two servants walked ahead with lanterns, and Yuxiu followed behind.

Yuxiu thought of the desolation and dilapidation in the courtyard, so she asked one of the servants: "When you come to clean tomorrow, can you clean the other places as well?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the servant's back suddenly froze. The servant didn't turn his head, but his voice trembled: "Little master, it's not that we don't want to clean, but that we are really powerless."

Yuxiu asked why in doubt.

The servant swallowed with a grunt. He didn't want to say the reason, but he didn't want to offend the little master either. After struggling for a while, he hesitated and said, "Little master, you don't know. There used to be people in the yard." Cleaning, but one time, after cleaning, everyone found that one person was missing, so they searched all over the yard, and later found his body under the gazebo in the pond, such a tall and strong person was stuck between two pillars , the body was kneaded into a ball like a clay figurine."

The night wind blew, and the servant rubbed the arm holding the lantern in fear, and then continued, "Master has not found out the cause of that person's death after searching for a long time, and that matter was left alone. I thought it was just a coincidence." , but unexpectedly it was the beginning. Since then, some of those people who went to clean the yard died from time to time, and the death conditions were all kinds of strange. Everyone said that those people disturbed the cleanliness of Lord Evil God, and Master Evil God punished them like that... Details I don't know why, anyway, the yard is just so empty."

Speaking of this, the servant's face was already pale by the candlelight.

As the surrounding environment became quieter, they also arrived at the place.

The two servants stopped outside the wooden door tacitly.

After the wooden door was closed, this remote courtyard quietly crawled in the night, like a giant beast waiting for an opportunity, only the red lanterns hanging at the four corners of the hut gave off a dim light.

Yuxiu took the lantern given to him by his servant, and quickly walked towards the direction where he lived.

When he passed the small bridge in the middle of the pond, he couldn't help but glanced into the dry pond, and he caught a glimpse of the gazebo the servant had mentioned.

Since there was no water in the pond, the load-bearing columns under the gazebo were clearly displayed in Yuxiu's sight.
