This worries me to death!
After thinking about it, I finally thought of the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master. I carried the token with me, so I took it out and handed it to her, saying, "Go to the underworld to find the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master..."
Just as she said this, the old lady's face turned pale with fear. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I am so blind that I didn't know you were related to the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master. Next time, I will never dare to mess around here again."
I didn't expect that the two brothers had such a strong deterrent effect in the eyes of ghosts. I hurriedly helped her up and told her not to be afraid. She just needed to go to the underworld and give the token to the Seventh Master and Eighth Master, and say that someone wanted to know about Grandpa Taizu and asked her to pass on a message. Finally, I told her that no matter where the Seventh Master and Eighth Master asked me, she must not tell them.
When the old lady heard the last sentence, she became suspicious: "You didn't steal this token, did you?"
I said with a gloomy face, "What are you talking about? Who is so bold as to steal the token of the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master?"
"Yes, that's right. Then why don't you dare to meet them?"
I touched my nose, sighed and said, "Alas, you don't know. At that time, I helped the Seventh and Eighth Masters, and they have been thinking about this favor, so they gave me a token as a commemoration, saying that if I need their help in the future, I can just send this thing over. I was afraid that after seeing the token, they would insist on coming over in person, which would shorten the life of a living person. In order to live two more years, it is better not to see them, so I don't want them to know where I am."
Shortening one's life span is pure nonsense, but it was said by a yin and yang master. Isn't it easy to deceive an old lady? As expected, the old lady believed it and agreed to send the token to the seventh and eighth masters, and she would never tell where I was.
I agreed with the old lady to meet at 2 a.m. tomorrow night at a quiet street behind the community. We met at the intersection. The old lady took the token and left. The two old men also regained consciousness. Shen Bing and I did not dare to meet them and hurried home.
I didn't sleep well that night. To be honest, it was a bit too rash to let the old lady take the token to see the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master. But I was really uncomfortable staying here for the past two days. Apart from this method, I really couldn't think of any good way.
After breakfast in the morning, Shen Bing and I went out to buy tin foil and asked my mother to help fold it into gold ingots. Her deft hands didn't require any help from us. Before morning, she had folded all the tin foil into gold ingots, filling up a sack. If we burn all of it for the old lady, it would be enough to buy a building over there.
I was waiting until nightfall. Waiting was the hardest part, especially since I was unsure about the matter. I was afraid that the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master would not remember our past friendship and force the old lady to tell me where we were hiding, and bring the ghost messenger to capture us. That would be troublesome. When I thought of this, I felt even more uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
After finally making it to 1:30 a.m., Shen Bing and I, along with Yuanbao, secretly climbed over the back wall of the community and came to this secluded street. We walked about 30 meters forward and arrived at a crossroads. Seeing that there was no one around, we hid in the darkness where the street lights could not reach and waited.
It was almost two o'clock, but the old lady didn't show up. I had opened my yin-yang eyes, but I couldn't see a single ghost anywhere. I was worried. Was she really held captive by the Seventh Master or Eighth Master? Would the ghost catch us soon? Just when I was thinking about whether to burn the gold ingots and go back quickly, I suddenly saw a black shadow floating over from across the street. Pay attention, it was floating, so it must be a ghost.
Shen Bing and I were both nervous, staring at the shadow with wide eyes, and soon it came under the street light. It was a young female ghost with long flowing hair and a pale ghost face. It looked familiar, I must have seen it somewhere before.
I was surprised. Why didn’t the old lady come? Could this be her goddaughter
