Yifan Taoist didn't leave too much information with Tiaozi, but gave Tiaozi a rough position in the message.
Yanglin Village is 27 kilometers away from Baixian Town, that is to say, if it is by car, it is about an hour's drive.
But Yanglin Village is located in a remote mountain ravine, with inconvenient transportation and many roads require walking, so it actually takes nearly a day to get there.
This is just the time to go back and forth. If you count the time to find ghosts, you may not be able to return in a few days.
There is also no essential difference from a business trip. Although it is troublesome and full of many uncertain factors, Tiaozi must find this Taoist. He left a text message to Yifan Taoist, confirming the agreement between the two parties to meet. As for offering rewards, Taoist Yifan doesn't really care, as we can talk about it face to face.
Back at the hotel, Tiaozi decided to tell Chen Zixu about the matter. Chen Zixu didn't worry about the unreliability of this fan. I'm just worried about whether it would be too hasty to start like this.
"Tiaozi, if you leave, what will Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan do? You promised to leave them for the first seven days. You don't want me to watch them here, do you?"
Tiaozi knew what Chen Zixu meant, thought about it a little, and replied: "I tell you just to ask if you would like to go with me. If you don't, then you can stay here with Xiaoyu Xiaoxuan."
Xiaoyu heard Tiaozi's departure, and looked very unwilling: "Brother Tiaozi! If it doesn't work, let us go together, so that we can take care of each other if we encounter difficulties."
Xiaoxuan also quickly expressed his stance and expressed his willingness to follow Tiaozi to Yanglin Village: "Uncle Tiaozi, although we have not been to Yanglin Village, we still know the boundary of 9 nearby. If we go, we can avoid some detours."
Chen Zixu saw that the two brothers and sisters had no opinion, and naturally there was no reason to disagree. After all, he slept in the jade pendant of the strip all the time, and had always followed the strip faintly.
"In this case, let's set off together, but I have to go back to the jade pendant and regain my vitality. I won't come out unless I encounter important things, so the two brothers and sisters will leave it to you for the time being."
Tiaozi agreed with Chen Zixu's proposal. Now that everyone's opinions are unified, we can proceed directly.
After half an hour, Tiaozi returned the hotel suite and immediately went to the long-distance bus station in Baixian Town. Before reaching Yanglin Village, Tiaozi had to go to a place called Huangpi Town.
Huangpi Town is very small, only half the area of Baixian Town, while Yanglin Village is located on a low hillside in the southeast of the town.
In this way, Xiaoxuan began to trek the mountain road, but the mountain road is not difficult to walk, and it took two hours to get there.
Yanglin Village is a very backward small village. It is even more dilapidated than the few villages that Tiaozi has visited before. There are no more than a hundred houses, all of which are dilapidated earthen houses. Most of the people living here are elderly people, so they should be Tiaozi. When they were all on the street, all the old men and women were curious about the sudden appearance of the young man.
One of the old men also took the initiative to ask: "What are young people doing here? Is there anything I can help?"
The old man was about 60 or 70 years old. He was short in stature and had a hunched back. When he spoke, he showed yellow teeth. He was obviously an old cigarette stick.
"Do you know Taoist Yifan?" Tiaozi asked.
The old man scratched his head and looked at a loss: "We don't have a Daoist named Yifan here. Have you come to the wrong place?"
"But I called him before I came here. It is indeed this village. Does your village have a Taoist leader or something?"
As soon as he mentioned Dao Chang, the old man suddenly said, "Oh oh! You are looking for Dao Chang Liu! He doesn't live in our village." The old man pointed to a small road not far away and said, "You walk along this road. I can see a house in about five minutes, where he sometimes appears."
Tiaozi followed the old man’s instructions and walked along the trail for a while, and she saw a house at the end of the road. It was a traditional brick and earthen building. It looked a bit old on the outside, and the house looked a little weird, but it wasn’t because of it. It’s because of the large amount of yin encrusted above the building. Ordinary people can't see why, but from the perspective of the sliver, you can clearly see a huge volume of gray flocculent gas floating in the sky, making the sliver afraid to approach it for a while.
Tiaozi was afraid that he had come to the wrong place, so he called Taoist Yifan, and Taoist Yifan answered, giving Tiaozi any chance to speak, and said directly: "I saw you, come in."
The phone was hung up, the note suddenly heard the door of the house open automatically, and a familiar voice came from inside: "I'm right inside, come in and talk~~"
Tiaozi was about to move forward, but was pulled by the light rain behind him: "Brother Tiaozi, are we sure we want to go in? I always feel that it is not safe."
Tiaozi doesn't think so, but since they are all here, how can they leave without seeing
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Xuan, you follow me behind, and I will protect you."
Although Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuan didn't want to go in, they had said so, and they could only silently follow behind it. In this way, the three of them stepped into the house.
What you see is a brightly lit living room where a man sits at a wooden table drinking hot tea.
"Unexpectedly, you guys will come faster than I thought, come and have tea! They are all made in advance!"
The man brought out three porcelain bowls of tea, visited on the table, greeted the notes and waited for someone to come over and drink.
"How do you know we are three?" Tiaozi asked in confusion, looking at the tea.
"My supernatural ability is to be able to predict what may happen in advance. Today there will be three guests, a walking corpse and even a bloody soul."
"You~~" After listening to the man's account, Tiao Zi was shocked to speak.
"I am the Taoist Yifan, but my true identity is not actually a Taoist priest, in fact I am a Yin official~"
"Yin Guan!" After hearing the note, he backed away in fright. He knew that he had offended the Yin and Yang shut off a day ago, and now he ran into the Yin Guan here again. This group of people was not here to seek revenge, right?
"What the hell did you take the initiative to find me? Isn't it because of the Yin-Yang relationship?" Tiao Zi didn't want to betray the man either.
The man looked at the note with a vigilant and angry look. He laughed without restraint. He took a sip of his tea and said faintly, "Don’t worry, the Yin-Yang Pass has never happened. It’s not because of this that I took the initiative to contact you. , How about a deal between us?",
