The eldest aunt held the few hundred yuan tightly in her hand, then walked out of the room, went to the main room and opened the door. Wang Xiaoyou and I walked out with the eldest aunt. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.

Especially when staying in this barrier, the sky becomes darker, the surrounding air is a bit turbid, and there is a faint rancid smell and fragrance. This smell is very strange, but if you smell it carefully, you will know that it is the smell of bamboo and rotting corpses.

The smell is unbearable.

When we went out, I realized that all the neighbors had come out, and all of them were frowning, heads lowered, and hurriedly walked to the other side of the village. Our village has a relatively large population, and there are several

A whole family of people. Along with these crowds, we mingled among them and walked to Chen's house. No one greeted us along the way, which made me feel a little strange.

Just after we went out, the mysterious flute sound stopped very strangely. Later I found out that the flute sound was the master reminding everyone to buy talismans from him.

They are all in the same village. The Chen family is not very far away. It only takes a few minutes to walk there. By the time we arrived outside the door of the Chen family, many villagers had gathered here. I glanced at it and saw that most of these villagers were women.

People or children, they didn't chat, they all stared at the door of Chen's house with solemn expressions, waiting for something.

After a while, the door opened. It was Uncle Chen who opened the door. His face was a little stiff, but his body looked much stronger than before, and his previously slightly white hair had turned black and blue. His brows were slightly frowned.

I glanced at the person outside the door.

The villager hesitated to speak and looked like he was struggling. He seemed to be about to say something, but he was pulled back. I saw that the person pulling him back was a woman with a graceful figure. She was very familiar.

My heart was shocked, it was Chen Xiaoning.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and a bamboo flute tied around his waist came out. This middle-aged man's Taoist robe was embroidered with green flute patterns. His hair was tied up with a bamboo flute on it.

A bamboo branch, with a thin face and deeply sunken eye sockets. Although he has a goatee, it gives people a gloomy feeling.

As soon as he walked out, there was a buzz of people outside. He stroked his gray goatee quite proudly and stared at the crowd with a smile.

"Master, please give us the talisman."

An aunt suddenly spoke loudly, and then she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to this.

"Master, please use this talisman."

"Master, save us."

…

More people fell to the ground, looking very loyal, which reminded me of scenes on TV.

"The energy of your earth veins here has been destroyed, and there are evil spirits coming out to cause trouble. It's not that I am coveting your money. This is just for the cost of drawing talismans. The talisman paper and cinnabar I purchased are very precious, and I draw these talismans.

The talisman still hurts my mana very much, but there is nothing I can do about it. God has the virtue of good health. Before the energy of the earth line calms down, I can only continue to help you draw talismans to suppress evil spirits. Even if it consumes my mana, I will not be stingy.

of."

The Taoist priest stroked his gray goatee and spoke calmly. His tone was a bit deep and illusive, but I could hear a bit of mystique.

"Thank you, Master, for the talisman. Thank you, Master, for the talisman..."

The shouts of the villagers came again.

"Ning'er, help me get the talisman out."

The Taoist priest nodded, then spoke calmly behind him.

At this time, Chen Xiaoning walked out of the room. She was holding a big black bag with bulging bulges inside, and she was also holding a merit box wrapped in red paper, with dragons and phoenixes writing "merit box" on it.

A few big characters.

Seeing Chen Xiaoning coming out, these villagers immediately wanted to go up. Chen Xiaoning's delicate voice rang out: "Don't be anxious, everyone, line up, you have everything, and have the money ready."

Compared with two years ago, Chen Xiaoning has a much plumper body, a rosy complexion, and a delicate and delicate appearance, and her skin seems to be able to squeeze out water.

A yellow talisman costs 100 yuan. This old man is really black-hearted. These yellow talismans were simply drawn casually and did not contain a trace of magic power. I left my uncle’s house and took a closer look at the talismans. Except for a few

Apart from containing a touch of magic power, the rest is just free money. This kind of casually drawn talisman can be completed in just a few seconds. Now it is actually sold for a hundred yuan a piece. It really makes me a little angry. I actually deceived these women and children.

money.

Soon after, the crowd gradually dispersed, and there were not many people left at the door of the Chen family. The eldest aunt also changed five yellow charms, turned around happily, and planned to ask us to go back together, but I declined.

She said she had something to do and asked her to leave first. She told me to rush home at night, and she didn't leave until I agreed.

The box in Chen Xiaoning's hand had been placed on the ground, and the black bag holding the talismans in his hand was much shriveled. I snorted coldly, and walked forward with Wang Xiaoyou.

The old Taoist looked at me in surprise, and then said mechanically: "There are one hundred talismans, how many do you want?"

"I don't know what kind of talisman you drew? It costs a hundred yuan a piece. If it is really a talisman drawn with magic power, you will accept a hundred yuan?"

I stared at this veteran with a faint message. When Chen Xiaoning heard my voice, he suddenly raised his head and took a look. His face suddenly turned pale, and there was a look of horror in his eyes, as if I appeared here, making him

She was surprised.

"Who are you? If you are here to cause trouble, please leave. After dark, there will be monsters causing trouble. If you don't buy the magic talisman, the monsters will find you. Don't come crying and begging me then."

After hearing what I said, the old Taoist's face turned cold and he spoke impatiently.

"A monster is causing trouble? Are you the one causing trouble? Just those monster bamboos want to harm us? Fellow Taoist, don't you know which elder of the Qingzhu Sect is it?"

Wang Xiaoyou walked out, grinned, and said coldly.

"You...you are..."

When the old Taoist saw Wang Xiaoyou say the name of Qingzhu Sect, a fierce look burst out in his eyes, and then he began to look at Wang Xiaoyou. When he saw Wang Xiaoyou's eyes, the old Taoist frowned and suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is pure mind meditation.

The first generation disciple Wang Daoyou, Wang Daoyou appears here, I don’t know why?”

"Listening to your voice, it should be Elder Shen Zhu. Aren't you afraid of the Qingzhu Sect's punishment for doing such an outrageous thing? Although the Qingzhu Sect is a heretic, it has always been just to collect money from the rich. What Elder Shen Zhu said today is

Why, isn’t it against the Qingzhu Sect’s rules?”

Wang Xiaoyou's expression remained the same as before and he said calmly.

Judging from Wang Xiaoyou's appearance, he must have had contact with Qingzhumen, so he was able to recognize this person from his voice.

"This is the matter of our Qingzhu Sect and has nothing to do with your Qingxin Guan. Although you are the great disciple of Qingxin Guan, your Qingxin Guan is currently in dire straits. You are not in the sect, but you come here, and you don't think it matters. Isn't that a little too generous? What's more, our Qingzhu Sect and your Qingxin Guan have always been on the same page. We have not added insult to injury when your sect is in trouble, so we have already treated you well."

Shen Zhu looked at Wang Xiaoyou and said coldly.

"This is the village where I live, and the villagers in it are all my acquaintances. Old man, are you going too far in amassing money like this? Aren't you afraid of losing your life!"

I stood up, glanced at the pale Chen Xiaoning next to me, and then pointed at the old Taoist from Qingzhumen and spoke sharply.

"Who are you? A young boy who doesn't know how to live or die!"

Elder Shen Zhu was obviously a little angry.

"Who am I? Didn't Chen Xiaoning tell you?"

I stared at Chen Xiaoning with a half-hearted smile.

"Brother Bai, you...why are you here?"

Chen Xiaoning's voice was very low, as gentle as a mosquito's moan. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at me. She was obviously feeling guilty.

"Oh? Do you want me to stay in the hospital and fall asleep?"

I asked back with a sneer.

"No...that's not what I mean. I think you, Brother Bai, misunderstood. When we were in Dongsheng Garden,..."

"Shut up, please don't call me that in the future. You don't need to explain anything. I asked people to help you get rid of the golden silkworm Gu, and I helped you again and again, but you set me up and led people to steal my longevity stone. , and even attracted my old enemy. If I hadn’t been lucky, I would have died by now. The death of Aunt Qingling has nothing to do with you. I will settle the score with you later!"

I waved my hand and spoke loudly.

"Girl, what is the origin of this person? Do we want to..."

Shen Zhu turned around and wiped his neck.

"Xiao Ning, who is here?"

The door opened and Uncle Chen came out. When he saw it was me, Uncle Chen's eyes lit up and I immediately said hello.

"It turns out to be nephew Xiaobai. Why didn't you say hello when he came? Come in and sit down."

Uncle Chen greeted me warmly, but Chen Xiaoning looked very embarrassed next to him.

"Since Uncle Chen is so enthusiastic, I will go in. My father also wants to know how Uncle Chen is doing, so he asked me to come and visit him. He can't get away from Zhuya Island."

Wang Xiaoyou and I walked in together.

But it's strange that Wang Xiaoyou and the old man didn't come in.

"Uncle Chen, what's going on with that Taoist priest outside?"

I asked.

Uncle Chen smiled and said: "That's the master Xiao Ning invited back. There was an incident in our village a month ago, but after this master came back, things became much less frequent..."

After listening to Uncle Chen's description, I found that he was also kept in the dark and didn't know anything about it. After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaoyou pulled my clothes and said he was leaving.

I said hello to Uncle Chen and left here.

But as soon as I walked out of the house, I felt that the atmosphere around me was completely different. There was no one around, even the figures of Wang Xiaoyou and the Taoist priest were gone. A very strange scene appeared.

A low flute sound sounded next to my ears, and I gradually began to feel my eyelids becoming heavy and I wanted to sleep.

"careful!"

Wang Xiaoyou's voice rang in my ears like thunder, and immediately after my body was pushed, a sharp pain shot from my arm.
