Seeing that I had stopped, Master Jiang asked me in confusion, "What's the matter?"
I swallowed and raised my hand to point to the front right.
"Master Jiang, look over there. There is a little yellow light. It doesn't look like the light deep in the bamboo forest. There are also a lot of low black shadows. I don't know what they are."
Master Jiang's eyes followed the direction of my finger.
Then he whispered, "Turn off the flashlight first, and we'll go over and take a look."
"good!"
Then I turned off the flashlight in my hand.
In order not to make too much noise, Master Jiang and I carefully moved towards the location of the yellow light.
As we approached slowly, we found that there was actually a person standing near the light. It was a man, holding something like a shovel in his hand, digging something underground.
The yellow light was a kerosene lamp.
But what surprised Master Jiang and me was that the kerosene lamp was actually placed on a standing tombstone. There were mottled red words on the tombstone, and I didn't know whose grave it was.
But this was not the most bizarre thing. The most bizarre thing was that, in addition to the standing tombstone, I actually saw dozens of graves, and in front of each grave there was a tombstone. It turned out that those black shadows were tombstones.
"What...what's going on? Could that person be a tomb robber?"
I whispered with a trembling voice.
Master Jiang looked silent and said in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be a tomb robber. Those stone tablets look like they were made by modern people, not ancient people at all. Even if that person wanted to rob a tomb, he couldn't have robbed a modern tomb, because modern people don't have many burial objects."
I think what Master Jiang said is very right.
"But what should we do now? The bamboo forest is deep inside. If we want to get through, I'm afraid we have to pass through this cemetery!"
Master Jiang whispered, "Then let's go around first. Although the man digging graves is very unethical, it is not within the jurisdiction of us ghost-catching Taoist priests. And since he dared to do it, it is impossible that he was not prepared. If we go out rashly, he might get angry and fight with us.
. "
"Let's get down to business! Let's go around!"
"good!"
I nodded and said.
But just as Master Jiang and I were about to bypass the cemetery, suddenly, the gravedigger seemed to have discovered something.
"who?"
A resounding voice was heard.
Master Jiang and I both stopped subconsciously.
But we didn't panic.
Master Jiang made a look at me, signaling me not to move.
The man's face was facing where Master Jiang and I were. I found that he had a very young face, a round head, a crew cut, and his face looked a little yellow under the kerosene lamp.
"Who's there? Come out!"
The young man with a crew cut asked in a cold voice.
Master Jiang and I didn't move. We both thought the man was bluffing.
But what we didn't expect was that the young man shouted behind him, "Heimao, go and take a look!"
Is there still someone in the cemetery
Master Jiang and I were both very surprised.
Then I saw a black figure rushing towards me and Master Jiang.
"Not good, it's a dog!"
Master Jiang said quickly.
Just as we were about to turn around, the black dog rushed over to us.
“Woof woof woof…”
The dead dog kept barking, and for a moment, the bamboo forest where we were became lively.
Many birds hiding in the forest took off.
The dog's black eyes had already spotted me and Master Jiang, and it stared at us fiercely with its teeth bared.
"Damn wild dog, it discovered us!" Master Jiang muttered.
At this time, the gravedigger had already gone behind the black dog with a kerosene lamp.
He stared at the direction where Master Jiang and I were, and said in a stern voice, "Come out, I know you are here and haven't left yet. If you don't come out, I will let the dogs bite you!"
Helpless, Master Jiang and I had no choice but to walk out of the bamboo forest.
Seeing us coming out, the young man snorted coldly and asked us, "What are you doing here
Who is this person? Why are you here? "
I looked at Master Jiang and didn't know how to start.
“Ahem!”
Master Jiang pretended to cough twice, and his gloomy face turned into an ugly smile.
"Little brother, I think you misunderstood. We just came here to look for someone, but we didn't expect to run into you... You did this! We didn't mean to disturb you."
The crew-haired man frowned and looked at me and Master Jiang suspiciously. Then he asked in a cold voice, "If I'm not mistaken, you are two ghost-catching Taoist priests?"
Master Jiang said in a deep voice: "Yes, you are right, we are the Taoist priests who catch ghosts."
“Woof woof woof…”
The dog named Heimao continued to bark wildly, looking very ferocious.
"Okay, Heimao, stop yelling! Go to work!"
The man with a crew cut pointed behind him.
The black dog was quite obedient. Then, it grunted softly and ran towards the grave that the crew-haired man had just dug.
Master Jiang and I didn't dare to move. Since the other party could accurately say that we were Taoist priests who caught ghosts, I was afraid that he himself was also very extraordinary.
Seeing that we didn't say anything, the man with the crew cut asked coldly, "You said you were looking for someone, who are you looking for?"
Master Jiang did not shy away from the question and said directly: "We are looking for Master Zhang in the deep bamboo forest!"
Master Zhang is also known as Zhang the Cripple.
"Looking for my master?"
The crew-haired man stared at the two of us in surprise. After a moment, he asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to do with my master?"
Master Jiang was a little surprised when he heard the man with a crew cut say that he was Zhang Lame's apprentice.
I stood by and continued, "We came to Master Zhang to ask for something. We encountered some problems when we were catching ghosts. Someone's vitality was sucked away, so we came to ask for a Wuxu fruit."
But after hearing what I said, the buzz cut guy laughed coldly and said, "You two stinky Taoist priests want black beard fruit. Do you think it's just a cheap item from a street stall? Do you think I can give it to you just because I tell you to?! It's ridiculous."
Master Jiang and I could only endure the ridicule of the man with a crew cut.
There is no other way. I have to ask for help from my master. Now I have to ask for help from my apprentice.
You have to be polite.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. But from the words of the buzz cut man, it can be confirmed that he is really the apprentice of Zhang Kuizi.
I put on a smile and said in a flattering way, "Big brother, I see that you are older than me, so I will call you Big Brother. Big brother, we really want to save people, and we hope you can help us."
"Don't worry, as long as we can get the black beard fruit, we have no shortage of money."
What I mean is that he really is not short of money. After all, he has a great cause behind him. He is a wealthy man, so he can just take out a few million and it shouldn't be a problem.
But what I didn't expect was that the buzz cut guy sneered rudely: "Don't try to be so close to me. Do you think you can see my master whenever you want?"
At this point, the crew-haired man showed a cunning look in his eyes. He looked at me and Master Jiang again, and then changed his face and said, "Unless you can give me something decent, otherwise, let alone seeing my master, I won't agree even if you want to leave here!"
After he finished speaking, before Master Jiang and I could react, the man with a crew cut pulled out an object that looked like a whistle from his arms and started blowing it.
That kind of whistle makes a "toot-toot-la-la" sound, which is very unpleasant.
I couldn't help but look cold, "Big Brother, what do you mean by this? We just want to ask Master Zhang for a favor, why are you making things difficult for us?"
The young man did not answer.
At this time, Master Jiang who was standing next to me changed his expression drastically.
He hurriedly said to me, "Oh no, brother Tianyi, this guy is summoning zombies."
The crew-haired man raised his head, glanced at Master Jiang coldly, and said disdainfully: "You are quite knowledgeable. It seems that you really came to see my master. However, if there is no benefit, you want to see my master, which is a joke."
At this time, a rustling sound came from the depths of the bamboo forest.
Then, I saw a scene that made my scalp tingle. I saw four dark figures appearing on the other side of the woods, with their hands stretched out, jumping and hopping through the bamboo forest.
Milk
Damn, they say the zombies in movies are fictional. Today I finally saw a real one.
Soon, the four zombies jumped in front of the man with a crew cut.
The crew-haired man said softly, "Ding!"
The four zombies actually stood there obediently.
I found that they were all wearing black robes, their eyes were staring straight ahead, and they exuded a foul smell. There were even two zombies whose faces had rotted away, and their eyeballs were somewhat shriveled and looked hollow.
The four zombies' arms were still stretched out, standing there stiffly, like four wooden stakes.
The crew-haired man said playfully, "How is it? Do you have any gifts for me? Otherwise, I won't take you to see my master!"
"My master is very busy. If you don't get any benefits, your trip will be in vain. Besides, it's dark here, and no one knows the three of us are here."
Damn, this guy with a buzz cut is really weird. First he asked us to give him benefits, and now he starts threatening us directly.
I was a little angry and said angrily, "You are Zhang Quezi's apprentice, and you are also a Taoist priest. How can you treat us like this? We are all in the same profession. You will be laughed at by others if you do this."
The guy with the crew cut didn't care at all.
He said unhappily, "Boy, stop talking so much. If there are no gifts, you two should just stay here. Anyway, no one will know even if I kill you two."
So arrogant, so arrogant! He is not a Taoist priest at all, he is clearly a bandit and a gangster.
I cursed this kid as a bastard in my heart.
However, Master Jiang next to me, after taking a few glances at the four zombies, said to the man with the crew cut, "Well, in that case, we will give you a gift!"
But the more shameless thing is yet to come.
The man with the crew cut still shook his head and said with a smile: "No, one gift is not enough, we need two now! It's your fault for being so rude to me just now. How about this, you get one and he gets another!"
The man with a crew cut raised his hand and pointed at Master Jiang and me respectively, and said with contempt.
