The next day, the old monk woke up and said nothing to us. He left and returned to his monastery, and I followed the old Taoist priest back to my residence.
Ever since I went back, I started to sleep unsteadily every night. I always felt that something was pressing on my chest. I couldn’t breathe because of the stuffiness. For several nights, I could still see people in a daze. I was shocked and scared. But can't catch the clue.
I checked my body and there was no trace on my skin. I also tried to arrange a few small simple defense formations, but it was useless. The feeling of being held on my chest made me very uncomfortable and the quality of sleep was very poor. , Just switch to sleeping during the day and playing games hard at night.
After a few days, I played another night of games. When I was about to sleep, the phone screen lit up, and when I was about to sleep, the phone screen lit up. I picked it up and looked at it. It was my mother who called.
"Hey, Mom, what's the matter if you call here so early?" I yawned and moved my stiff neck.
"It's too early? The sun is about to bask, it's too early! You're sleeping late again, don't you have to go to work today?" A familiar voice came from the phone, and it rose by an octave in an instant. It was my mother.
Uh, I looked at the time displayed in the upper right corner of the phone awkwardly, and I quickly changed the subject: "Don't care about these details, the point is that you are calling, what is the matter? If you go on nagging, the phone bill will be fine. wasted."
The last sentence hit my mother's heart, and the voice on the other side stopped for a while, and then said: "You almost made your kid dizzy. It will be your dad's birthday in two days. Your dad meant to do something small." A few tables, just let your relatives and friends come and have a meal, you must remember to come back, but don’t forget."
I patted my forehead. If my mother hadn't called me to remind me, I would have almost forgotten about it and nodded hurriedly: "It must be, I will come back to congratulate my dad."
"Hmph, it would be nice if you could bring a girl, um,... friend back." My mother taught me smoothly. The voice suddenly disappeared halfway, and a word was vaguely omitted. After finishing speaking, she quickly Hung up the phone.
Even so, I still understood what she meant. It was hoped that I could find a girlfriend again. Maybe it was because of the memory of the previous event that I took it vaguely. Actually, I had already let go of that. After thinking about it, I called the old Taoist priest and asked him if he was interested in going back with me to join in the fun.
The old Taoist thought for a few seconds and agreed.
So, two days later, I took the old Taoist priest into the car back to my hometown.
In the car, someone looked at the old Taoist from time to time and kept watching curiously. I turned my head and looked at the old Taoist sitting next to me, but found nothing strange.
The old Taoist priest is dressed in a Tang suit with wide sleeves, and he is neatly dressed, even his beard is neatly trimmed. From left to right, he is just a more energetic old man. The only strange thing is that he holds his hands. He was holding a square bag, the bag was strict, and I didn't know what was inside. I asked him, and the old Taoist smiled mysteriously, saying it was a gift for my dad.
Due to the traffic jam on the road, when I returned to my hometown, I received a call from my mother. They had already gone to the scheduled restaurant and asked me to rush over.
No way, I took the old Taoist out of the station and drove directly to the restaurant.
When I entered the lobby of the restaurant, my mother greeted me immediately
, Came up with a complaint: "You said you, I told you to arrive early, but you are not good. You come only after this banquet has started. Don't say anything about your dad. The face can be stretched longer. Hurry up. Happy birthday to your dad!"
"I'm not to blame! The car was late, it wasn't my intention!" I touched my nose and retorted unconvinced. When pushed by my mother, I still went to my dad obediently. Taoist priest: "Mom, this is my friend, help me say hello, I will go to my dad."
I pulled away and ran to the corner of the hall. My dad was sitting alone, dealing with the toast of the group. Seeing the old man’s face was unhappy, I still felt a little guilty, and quickly took out the present that I had prepared. Pi Dian Pi Dian leaned forward, said a lot of good things, and finally made the old man smile.
Then, with the help of others coming up to toast again, I had time to retreat to the side, wiped my sweat, and let out a sigh of relief, before remembering to look for the old Taoist figure.
Looking around the hall, he finally saw the old Taoist priest in the diagonally opposite corner. He was sitting on a chair and talking to people, happily, holding a wine glass in one hand, otherwise he would have to dance.
He glanced at my dad and found that the old man hadn't noticed me at all, he moved forward secretly, trying to reach the old Taoist priest to hear what he was saying.
When I was approaching the table of the old Taoist priest, I heard someone around me talking about the old Taoist priest, one and two of them were yin and yang strange:
"Is that old man mad? I think he is a little abnormal in spirit."
"I actually said that he is good at catching ghosts. Where are ghosts in this world! Why doesn't he simply say that he is the savior?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you didn't hear people claiming to be Taoist priests, it's not Taoist's specialty to catch ghosts!"
"Hahahaha. Where did Lao Hou know this kind of friend! Look, you can see that these people were stunned for a while. Now in the scientific age, there is such a feudal superstition that makes me laugh!"
As they talked, these few people still laughed, and they were all overjoyed.
Hearing this, I was immediately unhappy. How can I say that the old Taoist priest is also my master. Hearing that my master was ridiculed by others, I would have a ghost if I could bear it.
"Hey! You can't stop your mouth even when you eat, right, chew your tongue behind others. Where did they provoke you, and you want to slander an old man here? Ah? Who said there are no ghosts in this world, can you prove it? Shut up if you can't prove it." I slapped my slap on the table, shaking the tableware and chopsticks.
The noise I made was not small, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and it was all quiet in an instant.
"San'er, that's it!" My mother squeezed over at a speed, looking at the few people who looked badly at me.
"Today is my Laohou’s birthday. Please take care of my face and don’t hurt my peace." My dad was a little bit slow and came over a step late. He thought I had an impulse with me, so he came up and thought. Be peaceful and old.
My mother pulled him aside and said to me: "San'er, what's going on, you say."
"It's a big deal. I heard them say that my friend is weird, so I argued a few words for my friend." In front of all the guests, it's not easy for me to repeat everything, and a general sentence is short. Generalize.
My dad is still a little confused, but my mom's look has changed
, Reluctantly greeted the other guests, dragged me and my dad to the other side of the hall.
I gave the old Taoist a gesture of "be calm and restless", and I followed my parents obediently to the corner where the gifts were stored.
"No, this is a gift from your friend. Can ordinary people give this kind of gift as a gift? I'm not afraid of something coming? San'er, you don't want to interact with this kind of person in the future." My mother went from under the table. He took out a box and opened it for me to see, with a worried expression on his face.
The box was the one sent by the old Taoist priest. I took it out and saw it was a large transparent glass bottle with a pale yellow color inside and a dark underneath. There was something else like some kind of medicinal liquor.
I just wanted to say "Isn't it just a jar of medicinal wine". After I saw the contents of the bottle, I swallowed it again and touched my nose.
The general medicinal wine is mostly made of Chinese herbal medicine. At most, some snake wine is brewed. But the bottle of medicinal wine sent by the old Taoist priest is stuffed with all poisons. Not only snakes, but also toads, scorpions, and centipedes. Wait, it's not too small, and it makes people feel frustrated when they look at it.
"Son, I have also found out. Since the old man appeared, you have been totally different from the past. You should not interact with this kind of person anymore." My dad probably reacted this way. , Joined the ranks of persuading me.
I didn't say a word, and at the same time I complained a little about the old Taoist priest: What is wrong to give, you have to give something that scares people to death, although you are kind, but you should think about the feelings of these ordinary people anyway!
The two persuaded him without a word, and my dad's friend ran over to take him for a drink, and the atmosphere of the banquet resumed as usual.
After the banquet was over, I said hello to my parents and asked them to deal with the aftermath. I first took the old Taoist home to rest. This guy drank too much, was confused, and couldn't walk smoothly.
It didn't take long for the old Taoist priest to settle down. My parents came back, holding a lot of things, and saw me watching TV in the living room, throwing things away, and the two of them gathered around.
"San'er, we discussed when we came back. Starting today, you will stay at home and let your friend leave here." My mother sat on my left and took my arm.
My dad didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.
"Impossible, I stayed in the city well. You just wanted to trap me at home because of something unnecessary. It's impossible." When I heard it, I almost jumped up and raised my hands to object.
"What does it mean to have, what you were like before and what you are now, I and your dad can see it, do you really think we don't know the ghosts and ghosts you tossed about?" My mother was ruthless. He patted the palm of my hand and stared.
"Where are the ghosts and gods in this world, your kid is deceiving people, and you still regard them as good friends! Listen to us, your mother and I will not harm you!" My dad also interrupted.
So we quarreled, and in a fit of anger, I directly shook the matter of the red ghost girl, emphasizing that if it hadn't been for the old Taoist priest, I would have died a long time ago and I don't know how many times.
At this time, my parents were surprised and suspicious. My mother looked at me up and down, and reached out and touched my forehead, and said, "I don't have a fever. How can I say nonsense, and what I said is the same as the truth."
Seeing that they still didn't believe it, I simply lifted my palm to light up the spiritual ring.
