The salted fish attack made the master carry the cub

In the room at the top of the stairs, Xiao Er brought a new bedding.

The boy stood by the bed and looked at the bed that was made, and casually asked Xiao Er about the topic just now.

"So, what's up with that 'ghost' you're talking about? "

"That's right..." Xiao Er hesitated to speak, covered his mouth with his hand, and said mysteriously, "This matter has been going on for many years. The shopkeeper is afraid of affecting the business, so he doesn't ask people to say it. I also want to see your kind face." , so I dared to tell you secretly."

The boy said a few words of thanks perfunctorily, and asked him to continue talking.

He only heard the little girl say: "That's right, a woman died in that room at the end of the corridor."

"woman?"

"Yes, she originally married from another place to conquer Gucheng, but before she got married, something happened to the man's family. Then, she lived in our inn for half a month, and then the man came once, and then She swallowed gold and killed herself in the room."

"..."

"Since then, there have been crying sounds from that room from time to time. However, our small inn is not crowded at first, and even in peak season, it is difficult to be fully occupied. The shopkeeper said, try not to arrange guests to live in that room, After such a long time, apart from the occasional crying, everything is going well, nothing strange happened."

Hearing the words, the young man thought for a moment, then said to the little girl: "If the crying is indeed caused by the dead soul, nine out of ten it is because she had resentment in her heart when she died. You just said that she committed suicide, but what is the reason? "

"The reason for suicide is not complicated, that's right..." He lowered his voice, "That is, the man in her family forced another girl and impregnated her. The girl's family came to the door and made him responsible. He also said that if he dared to marry someone else, he would bring the girl's family and crash him to death in front of his house."

"..." The young man was speechless for a while, on the one hand he felt sorry for the girl and was glad that she was not married, on the other hand he felt that the other girl in the story seemed to be quite miserable.

He paused for a moment, and then said: "I also know some Taoism. If you believe it, you can take me to check it out." Although he didn't know the reason for the girl's death, but if he could help a poor person, it would be great One piece of merit.

He can't use his spiritual power now, and the girl doesn't look like a vicious spirit, and he can solve it with the spell in his hand nine out of ten.

But Xiaoer said: "That's unnecessary, ten days ago, the temple master went down the mountain to "inspect" the city, and the shopkeeper once invited him to the shop to see the room. "

"Oh?" Hearing about this temple master, the young man regained his energy in an instant, and said again, "What did he say?"

"The temple master said that the woman's soul is just some obsessions. Let her stay in that room and not disturb her. He also said that you can put an incense burner in the room and burn some incense ash for her from time to time, so that she can leave as soon as possible. go."

Qi Wushen remembered the vague smell of burning incense in the room before, and finally found the source.It's just... Burning incense to the resentful ghost instead of superseding, I'm afraid it won't dissipate the resentment, it will only increase her strength, maybe something big will happen.

dong dong dong.

Ji Sheng was so sleepy that he was out of breath, and the moment he opened the door to meet his friend's familiar face, he couldn't help complaining: "I haven't slept in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

The next second, the boy pulled out a cheap smile.

He grabbed Ji Sheng's neck and said mysteriously, "Chicken, do you want to watch something fun?"

"Fun?" Ji Sheng, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly became interested.

"What's so fun? I knew something good was going on, and you definitely wouldn't leave me behind."

After half a cup of tea, in front of the room at the end of the corridor of the inn, Ji Sheng looked at the six-ren compass spinning wildly in his hand, with the expression on his face that he was crying without tears.

He asked angrily, "Is this what you said was fun?"

The boy nodded calmly, and said again: "Isn't it fun to meet invisible ghost friends?"

Ji Sheng: "..."

Finding ghosts late at night is really fun.

He regretted listening to this man's nonsense just now, but it was too late, the boy had already stretched out his hand and pushed towards the locked door.

-

The thick black mist exudes a stench of corruption, and the touch of the feet is also sticky and greasy, as if there are countless pairs of small hands pawing at the soles of the shoes, preventing people from moving forward.

Zong Wu narrowed his eyes, stopped, and looked around.

He has been walking in this fog for almost half an hour, but the fog is endless, no matter how he walks, he can't find a way out.

...Did the ghost hit the wall?

The fingertips of the white-clothed god slid across lightly, and a little light like a firefly slid across, but disappeared quickly.

No.

Spirit power is still unusable.

And now the situation is getting worse.

Since a few days ago, he discovered that the reason for his inability to use spiritual power was most likely due to emotional fluctuations caused by desire, so he deliberately avoided contact with his young disciples, and recited the Qingxin Jing three times a day in the morning, afternoon and evening.

However, this is clearly useless.

The situation that the spiritual power cannot be used has not been alleviated, but has become more and more serious. The chances of being able to gather energy were not low before, but now... nine times out of ten, the result is that the fire is turned off.

Zong Wu was thinking about how to break the situation. At this moment, two familiar voices sounded not far away, and two indistinct figures were approaching.

"How long has it been since I've been walking, and I haven't seen the end yet. Why is the room so big? Or... have we gone to some ghost world?"

"Why don't you go forward, I'm afraid... Let's go back and find Zunjun before coming here..."

"Don't mess with the ghosts. If something happens to us, what will we do then? Think about the fact that Zunjun is still pregnant with a child. If something happens to you, the child will have no stepfather."

The other person stopped in his tracks, and there was the sound of a folding fan tapping in the darkness.

The boy's tone was troubled, and he said earnestly: "Chicken, I just secretly told you about wanting to be a stepfather for the child. Can you stop talking about it every day? I'm afraid."

"I know, anyway, it's dark and nobody hears it, so what are you afraid of?"

Zong Wu: "..."

"Okay." The young man over there sighed again, and said, "If you are really scared, let's go back first. I think the place here is dark, but there is no resentment. That ghost should really be harmless."

"That's right, it's time to go back."

The young man rubbed his palms lightly, a spell was ignited, and the fire illuminated the darkness. At the same time, they also noticed the people not far away.

"Ah, can that ghost read minds? As soon as we mentioned Zunjun, the ghost turned into Zunjun."

Qi Wushen: "..."

The two walked in and saw clearly that the master and apprentice met each other's eyes, and the scene was slightly awkward.

The flame of the spell was quickly extinguished, and the surrounding area was once again wrapped in thick ink.

In the darkness, the young man said slowly: "Master, why are you here? No, aren't you asleep?" His tone was a little guilty.

"Zun, Zunjun?" At this moment, Ji Sheng also realized that the person in front of him was not an illusion created by ghosts at all, it was indeed Zong Wu himself.

"Didn't the words just now be..." Just as he was about to speak, he was grabbed by the young man beside him.

"..." Too many words will lead to failure, Ji Sheng dared not speak any more.

In the darkness, Zong Wu spoke.

"How did you get in?"

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and said that he and Ji Sheng wanted to open the door to explore the next room, but ended up walking into the mist by accident.

"How did Master come here?" Qi Wushen asked again.

Zong Wu talked about how he met the bloody eyeball that fell from the room, and when he heard the phrase "I found you", he was wrapped in a cloud of black mist, and after standing still, he came here.

"From this point of view, Master should be entangled by that thing." The young man said while holding his chin. They took the initiative to explore, and Zong Wu was entangled. It should be that he did something special to offend the female ghost. Taboo.

It seems that the only way to successfully leave this place is to break the taboo.

The boy said his guess, but Zong Wu shook his head: "I didn't do anything."

He stretched out his sleeves, and said again: "When I was woken up by her, I thought it was you who came back, and there was no one after opening the door, so what happened later."

At this time, what Zong Wu was wearing was not the plain white shirt that he wore outside, but the light pajamas that he wore inside.The clothes were so light that one could faintly see the ups and downs of the master's collarbone and chest, and because of this, after the talisman was extinguished, the young man did not ignite again.

"Could it be that the master has a special status?" the young man asked.In addition, he couldn't think of the reason why the female ghost clung to Zong Wu and ignored them.

As soon as the voice fell, the stagnant black mist in front of him seemed to sense something, and it began to dissipate slowly. There was wind blowing in the airtight environment, and the surrounding scenes began to change. Not far ahead, a tall and bright thing was slowly Take it easy.

"Let's go forward." Zong Wu lowered his head and said softly.

"Okay." The young man followed silently, and Ji Sheng didn't struggle any more. With Zunjun by his side, the original fear was not a big deal at all.

The three of them walked for a while, Ji Sheng approached Qi Wushen, lowered his voice and began to gossip: "Did your lord already know that you want to be his child's stepfather?"

"Stop talking, I'm worried."

He was worried about this matter, Master must have heard what he just said, and now he is regretting why he talked about these things with his friends.

Ji Sheng rubbed his chin, and said again: "I think I should know it. I heard what Zunjun said, and you are allowed to enter and leave his room at will. Doesn't this mean tacit consent?"

Qi Wushen: "..."

The mist dispersed, and a brightly lit double-eaved pagoda appeared in front of several people. At the same time, human voices gradually sounded in the originally quiet surroundings.

There are countless sighs mixed with sighs and pain, as well as complaints.

"Come, come here!"

"Someone came in again!"

On the damp green bricks on the ground, there were many mossy straw mats. The sick people on the straw mats noticed the appearance of the three of them and rushed up.

The young man glanced across the crowd. Some had broken legs, some had bandages around their eyes, and some were rotten and sore and pus were oozing from their bodies. On a straw mat in the farthest distance, there were a few people with big bellies. woman.

Except for the few who pounced on them at first, those people were all watching from the corners around them. Their eyes were cold, with a sense of scrutiny, but also a little guard. When they appeared, they even took a few steps back unconsciously. .

"Quick, how did you get in? Is there any way to get out?"

"Tell us quickly. You've been here for almost a month. It's up to you if you can go out."

"..."

Several people looked at each other, and the young man took the initiative to take the responsibility of questioning.

There were about 50 or [-] people present, and the reasons for appearing here were different. Some just had a meal at home and appeared here as soon as they woke up, and some went to Taoist temples to offer incense and walk He fell into a coma for no reason, and when he opened his eyes again, he appeared here.

The reasons are different, and the time is also different, but the boy discovered that what these people did before they were trapped was more or less related to the cumulus view in the city.

"That group of people ate the red water from the well, and then they appeared here."

"That group went to work for two days in Shangguan, fell asleep on the last day and woke up here."

"That group of people came first, and they didn't say anything when I asked them, but it sounded like it was related to some tea."

The young man looked in the direction he pointed, and saw several familiar faces. It was the first time they entered the city, and when they were queuing at the gate of the city, they were the ones who told them that there was a tea fighting meeting in the city.

When those people saw the boy's appearance clearly, the guard in their eyes dissipated, and they took the initiative to come over to talk to him in detail.

The young man glanced at the master, Zong Wu was leaning over, and was helping several people on the straw mat who were screaming in pain.

Zong Wu's body bent slightly, his smooth long hair was like a black waterfall, in stark contrast to his semi-transparent clothes.

"Listen to them first, I'll go find Master." The boy patted his friend on the shoulder and walked towards Zong Wu.

"Are you sure that the wound didn't start to rot after it was touched somewhere, but that it started to rot inexplicably after being exposed for a few days?"

"Sure, very sure, not only that..."

The man unbuttoned his belt, exposing his other arm, and saw that the elbow was already covered with bones, and looking up, the rotten place had begun to faintly grow wriggling maggots.

But the man didn't feel it at all, and even moved his terrible joints quite proudly, and said: "Look, this side is rotten too, it's all rotten like this, but it's just that even a little bit of pain can be felt. not."

When he was talking, he was dancing, and those disgusting maggots were almost thrown on Zong Wu's face.Zong Wu took a step back unconsciously, but bumped into a solid body.

"Hmm..." he snorted.Looking back, it was none other than the little apprentice who had just threatened to be the child's stepfather.

"Master, try not to bend over, it's not good for the child." Qi Wushen put his hands on the back of the master calmly, but what he got in exchange was Zong Wu, who was not cold, but obviously indifferent eyes.

"Put your clothes on first, and try not to move around. I'll go over there and have a look before I come back." Zong Wu said to the man just now, but he didn't stop the little apprentice from holding his waist.

The two walked among the sickly crowd.

The light near the ground was not clear, and they walked very carefully, for fear of accidentally stepping on someone. Even so, most of the eyes around them still looked at them with considerable resistance and hostility.

"They seem to be afraid of something." Zong Wu didn't look at the little apprentice.

"En." Qi Wushen nodded, his hands had already left the master's waist, and he started to untie his belt instead.

"And they don't look like living people. According to what they said, they stayed here for a month, but there was no food around here, and the wound had rotted like that. If they were living people, how could there be no trace of it?" Feel?"

Zong Wu stopped, did not continue to answer his words, but looked squarely at the young man who was still undressing.

"What are you undressing for?" he asked.

At that time, the boy was only wearing the inner layer of obscene clothes, and his upper body was already draped between his arms in indigo and short brown.

He straightened his sleeves, handed the short brown to Zong Wu, and said: "Master is wearing this, this one on you...is too thin."

He wanted to say too much, but he didn't say it directly.

The thin layer of pajamas on Zong Wu looked really cool, but under a little brighter light, he could see the fair skin under the clothes, which made people daydream.I really don't know what he thought at the beginning, he would buy such clothes for Shizun.

Zong Wu raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, with a bit of guard in his eyes.

After a while, he reached out to take the shirt and put it on his body, and said slowly, "I heard that you want to be the stepfather of your child."

"Cough..." The boy didn't swallow his saliva, almost choking himself.

When he investigated the matter here just now, he thought for a moment that Master had forgotten about it, but now that he brought it up suddenly, he didn't even think of a plan to deal with it.

"Master...I didn't think...no, Master, I really don't have the slightest idea of ​​"deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors", you believe me. "

Zong Wu listened to him quietly, and added a sentence for the little apprentice himself: "Well, I understand, I don't have the idea of ​​"deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors", but simply want to be a father to the child. "

"Correct."

The young man lowered his head slightly, with a hint of guilt in his tone.

Although he felt that it was outrageous after he said this, but in fact he just looked at the child whose father died before he was born.

The boy paused and said, "It's not impossible to be an older brother."

He said this purely to make up for it, but Zong Wu said calmly in the next second, "Yes."

"..." The young man was astonished, completely ignoring what Master meant.

Zong Wu further explained: "I said, I agree with your idea of ​​being a stepfather for your child."

"?"

"!"

After the young man was stunned, he inexplicably felt his heart pounding and beating extremely fast. Could it be that the meaning of Master's words is...

"Then Master, after I go back, can I move back to live with you?" When the young man asked this question, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Although the days of sleeping together with the master were very short, during the few days when they were separated, he always felt that something was missing, and he felt that he had to hold something by his hand in order to sleep soundly.Either it's easy to fall asleep, or it's easy to fall asleep, but when you wake up in the middle of the night, you feel lonely.

Obviously, when sharing the same bed with the master, he is not considered intimate, but his state just rightly interprets how to write the four characters "I can't sleep alone".

Starlight almost lit up in the boy's eyes, and the next second, Zong Wu ruthlessly poured a basin of cold water.

"No."

Then he said, "What does it matter to me that you become the child's stepfather?"

Qi Wushen: "..."

"So what does Master mean?"
