109:
Driver Wu was in shock, his heart was beating wildly, he stuck out his head and shouted at Zuo Xingping: "I am honking my horn in such a wide place, but you still ride in the middle, you are going to die!"
Driver Wu was already nervous and tense. He didn't want to encounter someone who didn't obey the traffic rules, and he was angry and scared.
If he didn't brake and the car rushed over, what's the point
"Uncle driver, he is my father." Jiang Mian got out of the car with Silver Fox and said to the driver, "Go back."
"You, your father?" The anger on Driver Wu's face was stagnant. He looked at Jiang Mian and then at Zuo Xingping, who was wearing a Taoist robe and a big beard. He was in disbelief.
"Isn't it like that?" Jiang Mian stood next to Tianshi's father and looked at Driver Wu without blinking.
"Look, you look like father and daughter." Driver Wu realized that he had just scolded her father in front of his daughter. He touched his nose and said, "Then I'm leaving."
But he took several hundred yuan and left without anyone delivering it. No wonder it was unpleasant.
He looked at the shared bicycle lying on the ground - what would happen to the father and daughter if he left
"How about I send you all there?" Driver Wu suggested.
So Master Tian put the shared bicycle in the trunk and got into the back seat with Jiang Mian.
Only then did Jiang Mian realize that Tianshi Daddy was wearing a small flashlight on his head—probably he was using this small flashlight for lighting.
There are no street lights on both sides of Huangquan Road. If the car lights are turned off, the road will be dark. And because there are dense woods on both sides, even if there is moonlight overhead, it will only make the road look even more eerie.
Jiang Mian couldn't help but help Tianshi Dad take off the small flashlight: "Dad, you..."
"I bought it at the two-yuan store." Master Tian said, "Look, the quality is pretty good. It wasn't broken just now."
Driver Wu heard the whole story - the little girl paid him 800 yuan to send her to Lingqing Temple without blinking an eye, but her father used a earned tone to talk about the small flashlight bought at the two-yuan store. How weird.
He quietly raised his head, trying to look in the rearview mirror, but as soon as he raised his head, he met Jiang Mian's eyes. He had to look away awkwardly and concentrate on driving.
It was also strange. When he was driving along this stretch of road, he was always trembling with fear, and his clothes got wet from his nervousness.
But since the little girl's father got in the car, he felt inexplicably not afraid anymore.
The martial arts driver was puzzled.
Jiang Mian looked away, took Tianshi's father's hand, and asked, "Dad, were you injured just now?"
Zuo Xingping felt embarrassed when he thought that his daughter had seen him falling off his bicycle just now. He shook his head randomly and changed the subject, just in time to see the silver fox huddled up in the plastic bag: "... What is this?"
Because the silver fox was balled up into a ball with its head buried in its belly, Tianshi Daddy did not recognize his species for a moment and only saw a furry ball.
After looking at it carefully, Master Tian's eyes suddenly changed. He picked up the bag and looked at Jiang Mian nervously: "Mianmian, where did you get it from?"
Even though the other party tried his best to restrain himself, Master Tian still felt a weak evil spirit in this fox.
Although Master Tian is weaker in other aspects, in terms of professionalism, his ranking so far can be ranked at the top even in the entire Xuanmen.
This evil spirit cannot be hidden from him.
There are very few demons nowadays, and demons are low-level creatures that have not changed from ancient times. Most demons have a demonic nature that is hard to get rid of and will not be friendly to humans.
Zuo Xingping was worried when a fox demon appeared next to his precious daughter, fearing that his precious daughter would be injured.
Naturally, Jiang Mian couldn't tell the truth to Master Tian. He quickly thought of a reason: "Today, this little fox ran to the set and got a little injured. I asked someone to deal with it, and he stayed behind."
After Jiang Mian finished speaking, Yin Hu raised his head from his stomach and slowly looked towards Master Tian, trying hard to make his eyes show innocence and kindness.
As a demon, the last thing you want to face is a cultivator.
From the first moment he saw Zuo Xingping, Silver Fox felt a sense of danger.
This was something he hadn't felt in Jiang Mian.
In fact, if he hadn't underestimated the enemy and ignored Jiang Mian at the beginning, even if he couldn't defeat Jiang Mian, it would have been easy for him to escape.
So he buried his head and tried to reduce his presence so as not to let Zuo Xingping notice him.
But after hearing Jiang Mian's words, he knew that he couldn't be cowardly and had to cooperate with Jiang Mian.
Zuo Xingping observed Yinhu carefully. There was no madness or irritability in the eyes of the demon, and he was trying hard to show kindness to him.
- People are divided into good and bad, and so are demons. Some demons are malicious towards humans, while others choose to repay their favor because humans have saved them.
Judging from the appearance of this fox demon, it is possible that he was grateful for being saved by his precious daughter and stayed to repay Jiang Mian.
The more Zuo Xingping thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Once the demon confirmed that he wanted to repay his benefactor, he would not change easily.
It would also be a good thing if there is a demon who wants to repay a favor by her daughter's side.
As long as the baby girl doesn't find out that he is a monster and isn't scared, that's fine.
Jiang Mian had been paying attention to Master Tianshi's expression. She deliberately poked the silver fox and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Afraid of scaring his precious daughter, Master Tian carefully covered it up and shook his head solemnly: "I think his hair is quite long. I can make a scarf in the future. It will definitely keep warm around my neck."
Silver Fox: "..."
Jiang Mian glanced at the silver fox who couldn't even hide his shock. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his peripheral vision glanced at the thick night outside: "Dad, this uncle driver said this road is haunted, do you know?"
"It's impossible." Master Tianshi said categorically, "It can be haunted anywhere, but it's impossible here."
"It's true. My friend met him while driving here, and there were other drivers..." Driver Wu couldn't help but retort after hearing this.
He told Zuo Xingping what happened several times, and finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Master, can you exorcise ghosts?"
He felt that his idea was right, otherwise why would he feel at ease and not afraid as soon as Zuo Xingping got in the car.
Looking at Zuo Xingping's clothes, he is clearly the master of exorcism!
Zuo Xingping did not answer his words, but lowered his head, moved his fingers slightly, and quickly directed a small paper man to float out of the window.
Driver Wu, who didn't wait for Zuo Xingping's reply, laughed twice and stopped talking.
Zuo Xingping held Jiang Mian's hand and felt the ice-cold warmth coming from his hand. He held Jiang Mian's hands in his arms with great distress.
—Mianmian must have been frightened by what the driver said.
He glanced at the back of Driver Wu's head unhappily.
"Don't be afraid, Mianmian, I'm here." Tianshi dad said in a low voice.
Jiang Mian also lowered his voice and whispered to Tianshi Dad: "Dad, is there really something unclean here?"
Zuo Xingping hesitated for a moment, neither nodding nor shaking his head - because he didn't know clearly.
Huangquan Road is close to Lingqing Temple. No matter whether they are monsters or ghosts, they will not take the initiative to come here unless they are stupid.
But what Driver Wu said was not false, and he didn't go out on Huangquan Road all night, so he obviously encountered a ghost.
In this case, nine times out of ten, it is really a ghost.
What he was puzzled about was, which ghost could be so obsessed with thinking that it would actually come to the underworld
When she found out that Master Tianshi didn't answer her immediately, Jiang Mian understood that Master Tianshi didn't notice it either. She was considerate and didn't ask any more questions, but changed the topic to another topic.
…
More than ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the gate of Lingqing Temple.
Jiang Mian and Master Tian got out of the car. After a while, the car stopped where it was, with no intention of leaving.
Driver Wu looked towards the road. Except for the bright space covered by the headlights, the rest of the place was dark. He licked his lips uneasily.
Licking once, then licking again.
After Jiang Mian and Zuo Xingping got off the bus, the tension and fear that had disappeared rose in his heart again.
If he goes back, he will be the only one in the car.
Just at this moment, the lanterns on both sides of the gate suddenly lit up, the Taoist temple gate creaked open, and Luo Jiale and a young Taoist priest wearing a blue robe came out.
"Miss Jiang!" Seeing Jiang Mian, Luo Jiale ran over in surprise. He didn't expect Jiang Mian to arrive so soon.
"Master Wu Zhen." The little Taoist priest bowed respectfully towards Zuo Xingping.
A few people walked into the Taoist temple. The more Driver Wu thought about it, the more he became afraid. He gritted his teeth and opened the car door: "Then, um... can I stay here for one night? I'll pay for the room!"
Zuo Xingping took out a talisman from his Taoist robe and handed it to him. The latter took it blankly. Before he could speak, the Taoist temple door closed and Jiang Mian and the four disappeared from sight.
Then, the lantern went out.
Driver Wu lowered his head to look at the talisman in his hand, and felt a surge of courage in his heart: What are you afraid of? It's not like I didn't run through the night!
—
Lingqing Temple is very large, most of the places have turned off the lights, only a few places are still on, and the sound of chanting can be vaguely heard.
A few minutes later, they entered a sea of bamboo. There were some small lights hanging in the sea of bamboo. They were neither bright nor too dark, and provided enough lighting.
Deep in the bamboo sea, there are several quiet bamboo houses standing.
Knowing that his precious daughter would be confused, Tianshi Dad explained for Jiang Mian.
The bamboo house deep in the bamboo sea is Qi Yanshu's residence in Lingqing Temple. The Qi family spent money to specially build it in the temple in order to provide Qi Yanshu with a good living environment.
Lingqing Temple can be so big now, and the Qi family's investment is indispensable.
This was also the reason why Zuo Xingping's uncle accepted Qi Yan as his disciple.
The Qi family is rich and can bring good development to the Taoist temple, so it is okay to make an exception and accept a disciple.
…
Qi Yanshu's bedroom is very simple, with nothing else except a bed, table, chair, and cabinet.
At this moment, Qi Yanshu was lying on the bamboo bed. His eyes were covered with white cloth, and most of the blood was already smudged.
In the wooden basin next to it, there are several strips of cloth dyed red. The color is bright red. At first glance, it is a bit scary.
An old man in white training clothes sat beside the bed, holding a mobile phone and video chatting on WeChat: "... first tell me how to stop the bleeding. If it keeps flowing like this, all the blood will run out!"
The person opposite the video was an old lady, saying: "Prick his temple with a silver needle..." She mentioned more than ten acupuncture points in a row.
The old man felt dizzy after hearing this: "I'm not a student of Chinese medicine. I don't know how to prick it. Can't you come up with some effective methods!"
Zuo Xingping coughed: "Uncle."
When the old man heard the sound, he looked back and was not surprised. He said repeatedly: "Wuzhen, come and see your junior brother quickly and think of a way to stop his bleeding first."
Master Tian subconsciously said, "I don't know how to acupuncture."
"I can." Jiang Mian said.
Master Tian: "Huh?"
Luo Jiale was delighted. No wonder the boss said he was looking for Miss Jiang before he passed out. There was indeed a reason!
