After coming out of the deserted village, we first went back to the Chenghuang Temple in the county town. We were exhausted for the past few days. When we got to the Chenghuang, Yuan Ran prepared a steaming water for us to take a bath, so that we were in the deserted village. Contaminated with yin qi also went away for more than half of it.
After taking a bath, Cao Tianshi returned the golden talisman that he had brought into the deserted village to Yuan Tian. Yuan Tian seemed a little surprised and asked, "You solved the problem of the deserted village, but you didn't use my golden talisman?"
Cao Tianshi smiled and glanced at me and said: "That kid please go to the ghost king's real body, and it happens that he has suppressed the real master of the barren village in terms of supernatural powers, so we can win easily, if the kid doesn't go, I'm afraid we Most of these people will explain where they are, even if they have your golden talisman."
After Cao Tianshi finished speaking, Yuan Tian looked at me in surprise, but he didn't ask any more questions, but suddenly turned his head and said to Cao Tianshi: "Old Cao, congratulations to your organization for getting another talent."
We spent three days recuperating in the Temple of the City God, during which I also texted You Xiaoqing back, telling her that I am in the county seat now, and I will go to the capital with Master Liu in a few days, and I will return to the provincial capital after school starts.
The reason I chose to text rather than call back was because I didn't think I had much to say, and it was strange that I suddenly felt that my pouting was gone.
Within two minutes after I sent the text message, You Xiaoqing sent me a message. She said that I should save her mobile phone number and wait for the school to start in the provincial capital. She will go to our school to play with me, so I will send a message back." Welcome," and we didn't send any more messages.
On the fourth day of our stay in the Temple of the City God, Sima Shibo and Zuo Qingmu left, but because Zuo Qingmu was still injured, Master Liu used their organization to arrange a special shuttle for Shibo and the others.
On the afternoon when Sima Shibo and the others left, a small truck arrived at the back door of the Temple of the City God, and then a few people carried a rectangular wooden box into the management room of the Temple of the City God.
I know the person who took the lead. It was Lu Bin, who dealt with the "Ghost Sister Incident" with me, but his two partners didn't come along this time.
Because Master Liu and Tianshi Cao were here, Lu Bin didn't say hello to me after saying "good" to the two Tianshi, but just smiled at me.
Then Lu Bin said to Cao Jian: "Cao Tianshi, the living dead has been found, and it has been sealed by us with a talisman. Do you think we should destroy it or take it back for autopsy research?"
Cao Jian didn't say anything, but looked at Master Liu, Master Liu smiled and said to Lu Bin and the others: "Okay, you don't need to worry about these, you just need to find someone, okay, you first Let's go, Cao Tianshi and I will also go back to Beijing in a few days, and you should go back to prepare for his debriefing."
Lu Bin hurriedly agreed and then led a few of his staff to leave. At this time, I said to Master Liu, I will send it off, and Master Liu nodded and let me go.
I took Lu Bin a few steps away, and he smiled and said, "I haven't seen you in these years, and your Taoism has improved a lot. I'm afraid you are far behind. Are you going to follow Liu Tianshi to Beijing this time? ?"
I nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, and I may join your organization. If there is anything I don't understand, I have to ask you."
Lu Bin quickly waved his hand and said, "I can't talk about asking for advice. What do you want to know? Just ask at that time. It's fine. I see your appearance. I'm afraid that the trip to the deserted village will also be injured. Let's meet again in Beijing."
After talking to Lu Bin a few more words, I watched them leave through the back door of the Temple of the City God.
When I went back to the management room, I saw that Master Liu and Cao Jian had already opened the long box, and what was inside was Liu Shuya, the youngest granddaughter of Liu Shepherd. It's a pity that she has now become a living dead.
Seeing me coming in, Master Liu asked me: "Xiaoyong, the living dead, are something outside the Great Dao, and should be destroyed immediately, but I promised Liu Yangshi to rescue his granddaughter, and his eldest granddaughter Liu Shuyi has already The gods are all gone, and only this little granddaughter is left, so I am going to raise her."
I couldn't help being taken aback and said, "Foster father, but she drinks blood?"
Master Liu shook his head and said: "I know, I can't raise a body, I want to raise her ghost, I will bring out her land and life, and then 'raise her ghost', as for her body, it will be destroyed. of!"
Now I was even more surprised, and asked Master Liu: "Foster father, isn't it against the Dao to raise a ghost, why don't you just send her away?"
Master Liu nodded and continued: "Yes, raising a ghost will damage one's chances to a certain extent, which is not conducive to surviving the calamity in the future, but if I don't raise her, there will only be one fate for Liu Shuya, that is, the soul flies away. She stayed in the barren village for too long, and was squeezed by the evil flood dragons very badly, if her ghost is not raised for a period of time, it is absolutely impossible to send her away."
I asked Master Liu how long it was raised, and he said, "About ten years."
I was about to say otherwise, I will raise it, Master Liu suddenly said to me again: "Okay, Xiaoyong, I have no other meaning in telling you this, I just want to tell you that I have no choice but to raise ghosts, I hope Don't remember it because you think raising ghosts is the right thing, don't do it."
I nodded and said I got it.
Then Master Liu took out a small red sandalwood box, put a small paper figurine in it, and then took Liu Shuya's ghost out of the living dead, and then put the magic into the small paper figurine.
Afterwards, Master Liu pasted a spirit gathering talisman on the red sandalwood box and placed it next to the statue of the City God for three days. At the same time, during these three days, Master Liu would give the City God many tributes and incense.
In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the City God Temple was very lively, and the number of people who came to burn incense was several times more than usual, and I, Master Liu, Tianshi Cao and Yunuo Cao also chose this day. I left here and went to Beijing.
It takes only six or seven hours to drive from our county seat to Beijing. When we got off the train, a special car came to pick us up. The car drove all the way west, and we were sent to an old cadre rest house.
Master Liu told me that his home in Beijing is here, and Cao Jian said next to him that he will live here in the future, and he and Master Liu will be neighbors in the future.
After entering the cadre rest house, we separated from Cao Jian and Cao Yunuo, and they also had to clean up their residence.
When we parted, Cao Yunuo crawled on Cao Jian's shoulder and said to me, "Brother Xiaoyong, can I go to you to play in the future? There are so many old men here, they look so boring."
I smiled and said, "Okay."
Master Liu's residence is a three-bedroom apartment on the third floor of a five-story building. It is very clean and furnished with old-fashioned Chinese-style furniture. The living room has a portrait of Sanqing. The thing to do is to offer incense to the Three Pure Ones and bow down to them.
After the salute, Master Liu asked me to choose a room of my own, and he had to go out first. I asked him where he was going, and he said, "I'm going to report a sermon, come back in the evening, there is food in the kitchen, If you are hungry, get yourself something to eat. You don't have to wait for me to eat at night. Remember to do your homework after eating, and then go to bed early. By the way, there is a letter on the coffee table in the living room. There is some money in it, you can take it first. use."
Hearing Master Liu say this, I couldn't help but say nervously: "Foster father, you won't have to leave for more than half a year, will you?"
Master Liu suddenly smiled gently: "Don't worry, this time I will stay by your side until you are bored, but I will be busy these days, there are many things in the deserted village that I still need to do in detail. explained."
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "To whom? Isn't Cao Tianshi your boss?"
Master Liu smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about it, it's not him anyway."
I don't know the structure of this organization, and since I knew that Master Liu would not abandon me again, I didn't ask any more questions.
The day went by very quickly. At eleven o'clock in the evening, Master Liu hadn't come back from the outside. I had done all my homework and was about to lie down to rest. But at this time, I heard someone knocking on the door. I thought it was Master Liu's return, so I was happy to open the door, but as soon as the door opened, I saw a twenty-seven-eight-year-old woman in a black trench coat with long hair standing at the door. She was also very beautiful.
My first reaction was, could this person be a relative of Master Liu or something, otherwise he wouldn't have knocked on Master Liu's door in the middle of the night. When I was surprised, the woman was also surprised, and didn't wait for me. When she opened her mouth, she asked me, "Excuse me, are you Master Liu?"
I shook my head and said, "I'm not, do you have anything to do with him?"
This person doesn't know Master Liu, so who is she
The woman at the door was disappointed and asked again, "Does Master Liu live here?"
After hesitating for a while, I nodded. After all, this is a rest house, and there are guards at the entrance. Not everyone can come in. If they can, they shouldn’t be a bad person, so I asked her: “Where are you looking for? Is there something wrong with Master Liu?"
The woman said, "Hello, my name is Wang Jin. I work in an advertising company. This is my business card."
I took the business card and looked at it. It seemed to be a director or something. It should be regarded as a senior female white-collar worker.
I didn't let her continue to stand at the door, I invited her in and sat down, and then brought her a cup of tea.
After sitting down beside the coffee table, she took out another letter of worship and a kraft paper bag and put it on the table and said, "Here is the deposit, and the information about the matter I entrusted. Please pass it on to Master Liu, by the way, this case. Please, Master Liu must pick it up, I dragged a lot of people to find out about Master Liu, and I really can't help it, if this matter is not resolved, I will really go crazy."
On the first day I arrived here, I didn't know much about the situation here, so I said: "In this case, you go back first and wait for Master Liu to come back. I will tell him whether he accepts this commission or not, we will I'll let you know as soon as possible."
Speaking of which, I also pushed the money back to Wang Jin.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and Master Liu just came back and said: "I heard it outside the door, okay, someone has already called me, we have taken this request, you Let's go first."
I felt next to me and told Wang Jin, "He is Master Liu."
Wang Jin also hurriedly said a few polite words, and then left as if afraid that Master Liu would regret it.
Waiting for Wang Jin to leave, Master Liu said: "If you can enter the dry rest center and find it here, you must have been introduced by the organization. You can just agree in the future, you don't need to ask too much. detailed."
I said "oh" and said, "Foster father, so you almost know what's going on?"
Master Liu nodded and said, "Well, he's a tough water ghost, but I have another case to deal with, so I'll leave this case to you, don't embarrass me, and don't get in trouble if you encounter any other problems. Be brave and think of ways."
Before I could speak, Master Liu said, "By the way, this is an exam for you to join this organization, and it won't be too difficult as usual."
I understand that this matter was originally entrusted to me. After such a big turn, it is better to tell me directly.
