Chapter 28: Big Disaster
My cousin looked at me with some surprise.
My cousin and I have been slaughtering pigs together for so many years, and he basically knows what I want to do.
I didn't wait for my uncle to finish, I just nodded and said, "Yes."
My cousin asked me if what I did was a bit inappropriate, what if his master got angry?
I had a lot of doubts about the Taoist priest , especially when the fox called me and told me that the Taoist priest was not a good person and asked me to be careful. I had a lot of secrets in my heart.
I said to my uncle, "Uncle, the Taoist priest must have not told us something tonight. I want to find out."
My uncle seemed to still have some concerns. He paused for a moment and said, "Xiaoyang, how about this? You wait here for me. I'll go ask my master first."
"Need not."
I want to sneak in now and see if I can find out the Taoist priest’s secret.
After I expressed my intention, I looked at my uncle.
My cousin was a little conflicted. Actually, he usually did things in a carefree and decisive manner, but he had never been as hesitant as he was now.
My cousin seemed to have some problems today, but judging from another perspective, my cousin really respects the Taoist priest.
After waiting for about a minute, my uncle seemed to have finished his thought and finally nodded.
With my cousin's approval, I began to walk around the Taoist temple. This temple was very old and dilapidated. There had been no incense or worship there for many years, and not many people in the city even knew of its existence.
But even so, the Taoist priest still lives in this Taoist temple.
If it weren't for my cousin who provided the Taoist priest with pig heads every month, how could he have survived?
I find it a bit strange. The Taoist priest is so young, even in the prime of his life, but he is willing to stay in such a shabby place. It is really puzzling.
I found a relatively low place, grabbed the wall with both hands, and jumped over without any hesitation.
My cousin followed me and started shouting my name, asking me to help him. My cousin was quite strong, so it was a bit difficult for him to climb over the wall.
I reached out to pull him away, but failed after several attempts.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to say to him, "Uncle, wait for me outside. I'll be back soon."
My cousin was probably worried that I would have some unpleasantness with the Taoist priest. When I turned around to go in, I heard his voice from outside. He said that if I was discovered by his master, I must not have a conflict with his master and should just talk it out if there was anything.
I nodded and said okay, telling my uncle not to worry and that I would take care of the matter.
I arrived at the dilapidated Taoist temple. The environment inside was a bit messy. It could basically be said that weeds were growing everywhere and it was a bit desolate.
This is a courtyard house with houses distributed around it and an open space in the middle.
There was a water tank on the open space, but it was dry and cracked and there was not a single blade of grass.
I went in and first made a rough guess about which room the Taoist priest might be in. I glanced around and saw flickering candlelight in a house. I thought to myself that this Taoist priest was really a ruthless person who could live here without electricity.
Candles are still used for lighting these days.
I approached that place cautiously and tiptoed, and in a flash I was close enough and looked inside.
There was a flickering light in the house, but for a moment the people inside could not be seen clearly.
After waiting for a while, a figure appeared, and the appearance of this figure made my heart rise to my throat in an instant.
Because I only took a glance and I saw a hideous face.
The face was so hideous that my heart instantly rose to my throat.
I suppressed the fear in my heart. It seemed that what the fox said before was true. This Taoist priest was not a good person. And now it seemed that this Taoist priest was not a human being.
No wonder when the Taoist priest was dealing with the ghost catcher before, even the ghost catcher was afraid of him. Now seeing this scene, all the confusion in his heart can be solved one by one.
I held my breath, and just when I was about to leave here quietly, I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.
I was instantly struck by lightning, and was petrified on the spot. How dare you move an inch?
My heart seemed to be beating faster and faster, one after another, and it was about to jump out of my throat at any time.
My back was icy cold, my forehead was covered in cold sweat, and my whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
I didn't know who was behind this, and I was extremely nervous, thinking I was doomed.
All the strength in my body disappeared in an instant, and I almost fell to the ground.
Just as I was about to scream, a voice came from behind me: "Don't make a sound."
As soon as I heard this voice, I became quiet instantly.
Because this voice seemed familiar, but for a short time I couldn't tell who made this voice.
Time passed by every second, and when I saw that the person behind me didn't move, I became bolder and slowly turned around.
It wouldn't matter if I didn't look back, but as soon as I turned around, I saw the Taoist priest's face.
I finally and let out a scream.
After I screamed, the candlelight in the room suddenly went out.
The Taoist priest didn't care about me at this time and kicked the door open. I didn't know what was going on?
At this moment, I just felt my head buzzing and I was a little confused.
After the Taoist priest went in, he came out not long after.
He walked towards me with a gloomy face. I was confused as I saw the Taoist priest walking towards me.
Some people didn't understand what was going on. Wasn't the ferocious monster in the room just now the Taoist priest?
After the Taoist priest came out, he said to me in a cold voice: "Chen Yang, who let you in?"
The Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and looked angry.
I was still in a daze at this moment and hadn't come back to my senses at all.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the Taoist priest suddenly said, "Chen Yang, do you know? There is a huge disaster under your bed."
The Taoist priest's words finally brought me back to my senses.
I stared at the Taoist priest and asked, "What trouble have I caused?"
"You have disturbed the evil spirit in the house and it has gone away. Do you know how long it took me to lure it here?"
The Taoist priest questioned me.
I didn’t know how to answer the Taoist priest for a moment.
I came here just to see if the Taoist priest was playing any tricks, but I never thought I would encounter a ghost or anything else.
This result was not what I expected.
I just hadn't completely sorted out my thoughts yet, so I asked the Taoist priest, "What should we do now?"
The Taoist priest's face darkened, and he said, "There is only one way now."
When I heard the Taoist priest say this, I immediately asked, "What method?" My voice couldn't help but become a little hurried at this time.
