Chapter 283: Going into a haunted house late at night
Soon, the two people sweeping the floor outside and the two people cleaning the place all arrived.
"Hello, Master!"
Ye Xiaomei took a look and found that he was quite competitive.
Nana, who was standing by, stared at the few people with her big round eyes, and was so scared that she crawled into Ye Xiaomei's arms.
Ye Xiaomei could only pretend to be calm and comfort her:
"Nannan, you will follow this bearded old man to learn how to practice martial arts. Your body will definitely be as good as his." Ye Xiaomei scratched Nannan's nose:
"Look, he lived to be over 130 years old and is still alive. You can live to be 100 too."
Ye Xiaomei thought that she couldn't understand what she said.
Unexpectedly, she nodded quickly. It seemed that she had heard people saying that she could not grow up before.
She knelt obediently in front of Master Yuanyi and kowtowed three times.
"Enough, enough. Don't break your knees from kneeling." Taoist Yuanyi pretended to be disgusted, but there was nothing he could do.
Nannan was not angry either. She stood up with her hands on the ground and looked at Taoist Yuanyi eagerly.
It is impossible not to be moved by those big, sparkling eyes.
Taoist Yuanyi couldn't stand the look and quickly turned his head to look at one of them:
"Ziwu, ask your master to bring me two roast chickens when he passes by Fuli County on his return."
He took his daughter and turned away, still mumbling:
"You are all out to eat delicious food, right? If you forget about me, I will punish you according to the family rules when you come back."
The sun rises slowly in the Taoist temple and sets quickly, probably because the mountain is too high.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for dinner.
Ye Xiaomei then realized that the person cooking in the kitchen was Master Yuan Yi.
I thought that he was the most senior person in the Taoist temple and should be sitting there waiting for his disciples to bring him food, but I didn't expect him to cook by himself.
This time there was an extra helper, Nannan, who helped him burn firewood.
Why?
This old stuff is especially delicious.
When the table was set for dinner that night, one of the disciples asked, "Aren't there pork elbows?"
At that time, Ye Xiaomei wanted to bury her face in the bowl. She didn't see it, she didn't see it. It was secretly eaten by Taoist Yuan Yi at noon. She didn't see anything.
"Eating meat can easily cause foul qi to form in the body. How long will it take you to practice Kung Fu to eliminate it? Master is doing this for your own good."
Taoist Yuanyi said seriously.
Ye Xiaomei quickly grabbed a large piece of fried wild grass and stuffed it into her mouth.
As they were talking, Aunt Zhang came in with Mrs. Xue, and their meals were ready, white rice porridge with stir-fried wild vegetables.
"Let's eat." This is what Mrs. Xue said.
Aunt Zhang frowned and looked at Nannan reluctantly. This was the child of her second wife whom she raised.
In fact, Mrs. Xue had already woken up and was settled in the meditation room. Ye Xiaomei also went over to tell her about this.
At that time, Mrs. Xue really couldn't bear it anymore and her eyes turned red from crying.
"Can't there be a time? One month, two months, half a year, a year is fine. I can come and pick her up from the mountain then."
Ye Xiaomei shook her head, because such things require a lifetime of hard practice, from the big things like cleansing the essence and marrow to cultivate the original energy, to the subtle things like following the way of nature to get up early and practice to increase yang energy, and then to nourish the kidney energy. The whole process cannot change the physical condition in one or two years.
In order to make her give up, Ye Xiaomei also said that these were hereditary. Maybe Xue Wenhao was not self-disciplined and wasted a lot of his energy, so from the perspective of Western medicine, his sperm was not perfect enough.
At this time, Mrs. Xue reluctantly accepted it, but the hatred in her heart also grew, because Ye Xiaomei could see it in her eyes.
"This dish is quite delicious." Shang Zhen never liked to read other people's expressions. He asked for a bowl of porridge while eating.
Only when the bowl of three kinds of stir-fried wild vegetables was empty did Shang Zhen wipe his mouth.
Mrs. Xue ate a few mouthfuls of rice, put down her chopsticks, suppressed the tears in her eyes and asked:
"Nannan, do you really want to stay here?" Don't you want your mother anymore? Your mother has loved you so much for so many years.
But Mrs. Xue didn't say the rest.
Nannan stared at Ye Xiaomei with her big watery eyes, then nodded vigorously.
Taoist Yuanyi threw the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said, "Don't worry, if this child progresses quickly, she will be very different in three years. But by then, I will definitely not let her go."
In fact, he didn't want to take her with him. If he accepted disciples at his age, the four-year-old girl would naturally become the junior apprentice of his disciples.
Moreover, the youngest of his disciples is already over sixty years old. But Ye Xiaomei was right, the more chosen a person is, the more hardships he will encounter. This child's bones are different from those of ordinary people. If he does not have the stimulation of the Yuan Yang Qi, he may go against the trend and become paralyzed.
As the saying goes, there is no right or wrong in the trivial matters of the world, and all experiences are just experiences.
Just as he stood up and was about to leave, Taoist Yuan Yi suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Xiaomei.
Ye Xiaomei hurriedly pretended to eat, but in fact there was no rice left in the bowl. She was just worried that the old immortal would say something like "I've definitely seen this before" again.
In fact, Ye Xiaomei racked her brains for more than half an hour and was completely sure that she had never met the old man.
There is no condition for meeting at all.
Just when Ye Xiaomei raised her eyelids to take a peek at the old immortal, she discovered that he was counting on his fingers.
Then he said, "Come to me later and I'll take you somewhere."
Ye Xiaomei felt a tingling sensation on her back. Oh my god, this Taoist temple is already very remote. Looking out the window at night, the mountains in the distance are pitch black.
Even with the moon it could only outline the curves of the mountain ranges. The more you looked at them, the more they looked like ferocious beasts, either crawling, standing, or spreading their wings as if ready to fly. It was so damn scary.
After dinner, Ye Xiaomei felt a little overwhelmed and offered to wash the dishes.
After I finished brushing, the Taoist priest who was cleaning the main hall came over politely and urged me:
"Miss Ye, the Grand Master wants you to come over."
Ye Xiaomei's mouth twitched: "Okay." She looked out the window. Today should be closer to the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The moon is bigger than yesterday.
It looks like there's no way to escape.
Ye Xiaomei arrived at the door of Master Yuanyi's meditation room and knocked a few times.
Taoist Yuanyi seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He opened the door and said, "Let's go."
Ye Xiaomei followed Taoist Yuan Yi and climbed up a stone staircase covered with weeds behind the Taoist temple.
Neither of them said a word.
Ye Xiaomei was only accompanied by her own heavy breathing.
After climbing for about half an hour, a shadowy house finally appeared in front of us, which looked like the legendary haunted house.
No, it was a very simple building with wooden lattice windows and doors. In the moonlight, Ye Xiaomei could see a rusty iron chain on the door with a lock of unknown brand hanging on it.
Taoist Yuanyi was fiddling with the key, making "eh" sounds from time to time.
"It's rusty, why can't I open it?"
Ye Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the tiles on the roof were covered with green grass, she knew how old the house was.
Fortunately, it can’t be opened: “If it can’t be opened, let’s go back. It’s so late. I was planning to leave in the middle of the night. I have to go to…”
The word "school" was not uttered.
I only heard a loud bang and then the car turned around on the valley road. Then, click... the door was kicked open by the old Taoist priest.
Ye Xiaomei gasped and looked back at the stairs she had come up. The more she looked, the more frightened she became. She hurried up and subconsciously grabbed the old Taoist's robe.
As soon as he entered, the old Taoist took out a match from his arms, blew away the dust on the table with his mouth, and then lit the old candle.
That piece of land was in ruins and full of cobwebs, and a few mice were running away in panic with squeaking sounds.
"Old Immortal, what is this place..." Ye Xiaomei asked while looking around.
It's okay to look at this one, because facing her is a statue of a human body with a snake tail. No, there are two statues. Their snake tails are intertwined, and on top are two halves of a human body, a man and a woman.
Originally it wasn't that scary, mainly because the statue was covered with spider webs and the paint on its face was peeling or half-peeling off, as if a gust of wind blew in and the statue would be blown to ashes.
