Chapter 6 Wake up
When the lanterns came on, sparks suddenly popped out from the candles in the room, and with the sound of "bah", Li Chuyi woke up leisurely while lying in the front hall.
He was a little confused. He only remembered that he had just found the ghostly hiding object, and just as he grabbed it, he heard the Taoist priest shouting from behind, and then he was hit on the back with a palm, and he fainted.
He couldn't understand why the Taoist priest wanted to hit him. Li Chuyi shook his head and turned to look at the Taoist priest who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed: "Stinky Taoist priest, why did you hit me?"
Hearing this, the Taoist priest opened his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Are you awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Except for my head being a little dizzy, I don't feel any discomfort at all." Li Chuyi shook his head again and asked, "Don't change the subject, you stinky Taoist priest, why do you hit me?"
The Taoist priest did not answer Li Chuyi, but just looked at him with a smile. After a long time, he suddenly reached out and slapped Li Chuyi on the back of the head.
Snapped!
Li Chuyi staggered when he was slapped. He jumped up quickly, covered his head and glared at the Taoist priest: "Stinky Taoist priest, are you crazy? You hit people without saying anything? Don't think that honest people don't get angry. If you hit me again, I will be really angry. I Are you really angry?"
The Taoist priest continued to smile, but still did not speak, and did not see him get up. Instead, he slapped Li Chu on the head again.
Snapped!
Li Chuyi collapsed a little. He could see that the Taoist priest wanted to hit him and also wanted to hide, but he didn't know how the Taoist priest struck him. He could only see a faint afterimage, and he received another slap.
Li Chuyi felt aggrieved for a moment. After working hard to follow the Taoist priest to slay demons, he finally used his clever little brain to come up with a genius idea to find out where the monster was hiding. Before he could take credit, he was knocked unconscious by the Taoist priest's palm.
Forget it, I will treat you as a stinky Taoist priest who accidentally hit the wrong person. But I woke up and was slapped twice for no apparent reason without saying why.
Why?
Why?
Master, am I easy to bully?
With tears in his eyes, Li Chu looked at the Taoist priest angrily and said fiercely: "Smelly Taoist priest, if you don't tell me something today, I will fight with you today! I tell you, I will initiate Fire is scary! I’m scared of it!”
Seeing that the Taoist priest had no response to his "threat", Li Chuyi added: "It's really scary when I get angry!" After speaking, he bared his teeth to prove it.
The Taoist priest just looked at Li Chuyi with a smile. After looking at him for a long time, he whispered to himself: "Well, it looks like he is really my disciple."
Then his face turned cold, his smile turned into a sneer, and he said, "You ask me why I hit you?"
Snapped!
Another slap hit Li Chu on the head.
"Don't you know why my master beat you?"
Snapped!
"You really don't know why I took you?"
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Li Chuyi felt that he was about to be beaten into a pig's head, but he couldn't avoid it, and his heart suddenly became inexplicably angry.
"Isn't it bullying? Isn't it bullying? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? Stinky Taoist priest, you forced me to do this! You forced me to do this!!!"
After roaring, Li Chuyi was seen holding his head in his hands, bending his legs and kneeling on the ground.
"Uuuuuuu, Master, I was wrong. Stop hitting me. If you hit me again, I will be beaten stupid. Uuuuuuuuuuuuu, Master, I am stupid and can't think of why you hit me. Just do it." Just treat me like a fart, I will thank you eight generations of ancestors, wuwuwuwu!" Li Chuyi knelt on the ground and cried, covering his face.
If you can't fight, just run away. If you can't run, then give up. Li Chuyi thought he was very smart.
Seeing the little fat man kneeling in front of him with runny nose and tears, the Taoist priest sneered: "Don't act in front of me, and don't think about who taught you this acting skill. Don't know why you were beaten? Okay, I'll tell you. ! Let me ask you, who told you to stop practicing Xuan Gong? What did I tell you when I taught you?
After hearing what the Taoist priest said, the little fat man stopped crying immediately and looked at the Taoist priest blankly: "Is it because of this?"
"What do you think?!" the Taoist priest said angrily, "You don't even think about your identity. You don't have Xuan Gong to cover it up. You want to kill this whole room of people? Do you know how many demons and ghosts you can attract with your bad life?" Nibbled you? If I hadn’t taken action in time, would you still be sitting here crying?"
Li Chuyi looked at the Taoist priest stupidly and thought about it carefully. The Taoist priest seemed to have once said that the Xuan Gong he practiced could cover up his system of attracting ghosts and replenish his yang energy. He had never stopped practicing it since then. Only by doing one's work can one achieve success.
However, would any Taoist priest say such an exaggeration? Could it be that he is a humanoid magnet? Specialized in sucking ghosts?
Looking at Li Chuyi's slightly suspicious eyes, the Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and said, "You still don't believe it? Turn around and look!"
When Li Chu heard this, he turned his head and was immediately startled.
I saw a big hole in the south wall of the house, as if it had been hit by something. Looking along the hole, Li Chuyi saw the spider web-like shape on the wall with the help of the lights lit in the courtyard. The big pit.
"This, this, this, did I do this?" Li Chuyi asked stupidly.
"What do you think?!" the Taoist priest sneered.
"Did I really do it?"
Seeing the Taoist priest's "It's you, it's you" look in his eyes, Li Chuyi accepted his fate.
It looks like I did it myself.
After being silent for a while, Li Chuyi glanced around secretly and whispered: "Master, we don't need to pay for such a big trap, right? How about we run away?" He was afraid of being poor, and he was afraid that others would ask him to compensate.
The Taoist priest glanced at him and stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."
"Ah?" Li Chuyi didn't understand.
"Give me the stuff."
"What is it?" Li Chuyi scratched his head, still not understanding.
"Idiot, what are you talking about? It's the thing you found using your pig-brained tricks, that ghostly hiding thing!" the Taoist priest said angrily.
"Oh, here it is, here it is." Li Chuyi lowered his eyebrows and drooped his eyes. He handed the hand mirror that fell beside him to the Taoist priest. He looked at it and curled his lips, saying in his heart: You can just take it if you want it, but you can't tell me clearly. Who knows what you want.
The Taoist priest took the hand mirror and looked through it.
The hand mirror is made of bronze and is round in shape, slightly larger than an adult's hand. The brass mirror surface is extremely polished and the mirror surface is extremely flat and smooth. The back is engraved with a flying phoenix pattern, with two phoenixes connected end to end along the circular border, surrounding the flower in the middle. The flowers look like peonies or peonies. You can't tell what kind of flowers they are. The carving is as fine as two flying phoenixes, extremely fine and lifelike. In the center of the flower, which is also the center of the mirror, is a red gemstone. There is about half a finger's width between the mirror surface and the mirror back, and dense and complex patterns are carved along this half-finger's width thick edge.
The Taoist priest turned over the mirror and looked at it for a long time. His eyes stayed on the complicated patterns on the edge of the mirror. He looked at it carefully for a long time and began to think deeply. For a long time, something seemed to suddenly come to mind, and his expression changed. He fumbled along the edge of the mirror with his right thumb for a while, and opened and closed his lips slightly, as if he was reciting something silently. He stayed like this for a long time, and then he stopped and murmured to himself. Said: "That's it."
Li Chuyi, who was next to him, was so angry that he didn't dare to say a word. When he heard the Taoist priest's voice, he came forward and asked weakly: "Master, why is this so?"
The Taoist priest looked at him and sneered.
"Someone wanted to find us, so we set up this trap. I always felt something was wrong along the way, but now that I see this mirror, I understand everything."
"Who is looking for us?" Li Chuyi's face was full of curiosity. He had the impression that Taoist priests don't have many relatives or friends.
"You don't need to know." The Taoist priest lowered his eyelids.
"Then what is this mirror?" Li Chuyi scratched his head and asked again.
"You don't need to know this either."
With the same answer, Li Chuyi was helpless. He knew that if the Taoist priest didn't want to talk, asking would be in vain.
At this time, Liang Yiwen came out of the inner room and walked up to the two of them.
After greeting the Taoist priest first, Liang Yiwen clasped his fists and said to Li Chu: "Little Taoist Master, are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Just now I wanted my servants to carry you into a side room to rest, but your master stopped you and told us not to move. I hope you don’t blame me for neglecting the Taoist priest.” After saying that, he bent down and handed over his hands.
Before Li Chuyi could answer, he heard the Taoist priest say: "Young man, he just needs experience. Even if he sleeps on rocks in the wild, let alone the ground, there will be no problem. Don't worry, Boss Liang." After saying this, Li Chu was slightly offended. With one glance, he signaled him to stop talking.
Li Chuyi had no choice but to smile and nod at Liang Yiwen, indicating that the Taoist priest was right, and then stood aside silently without saying a word.
Liang Yiwen saw that Li Chuyi had no problem, so he asked the Taoist priest again: "Immortal, I have placed my wife in the inner room, but she has been unconscious. I wonder if the immortal can go and see my wife now?"
"Hey, upgraded? Immortal chief? This stinking Taoist priest is amazing. He was promoted from Taoist priest to immortal chief. I don't know what means he used." Li Chuyi deeply admired the Taoist priest's deception skills.
Hearing Liang Yiwen's words, the Taoist priest chuckled: "Haha, Boss Liang said something serious. A poor Taoist is just an ordinary cultivator. He only knows a little kung fu and cannot be called an immortal. Boss Liang can just call me a Taoist in the world. Since Your Majesty Madam has settled down, and my disciple has woken up, so let’s go take a look, please ask Boss Liang to lead the way.”
Liang Yiwen quickly thanked him, thinking that he could break through the wall with a roar, and he said that he only knew a little bit of skill, so he was lying. Seeing that the Taoist priest refused to admit it, he smiled slightly and said nothing. He led the way and several people walked towards the inner room.
