The Taoist priest is haunted by evil spirits

Chapter 21

Yan Xiao has been depressed for a long time, and he can't explain why he has such emotions, and he has no intention of wandering around in the sect and outside towns, and he just practices internal skills in the yard every day.

During this period of time, his uncle would still come to guide him to practice, but the time of coming was always subtle, avoiding when the master was in the yard, as if he had seen the master go back and come out again.In the past, my uncle always liked to go to the master's house, but recently he seems to have stopped thinking about it.

He didn't know what happened, he only knew that a while ago when he came out of his practice, he happened to see the master slamming the door shut, and his uncle locked outside with a lonely expression, but seeing his worried eyes, he just said Say "nothing" and leave.He looked at the back of his uncle leaving silently, and the feeling of gloom in his heart was even worse.

Days like this lasted until the Double Ninth Festival.The other disciples came to Lu Jingyu's place the day before, saying that the Yiyun Sect would organize mountaineering on the Double Ninth Festival, and brought chrysanthemum wine.

Yan Xiao wanted to go out to relax, but Lu Jingyu agreed, but told his disciples that he would not go.Yan Xiao persuaded him a few times, but seeing that he was still unwilling to go, he had no choice but to climb the mountain alone with other seniors.

Yan Xiao got up early that day, took dogwood and put it at the gate of Lu Jingyu, and went climbing with the others.

Knowing that the brother ascended the high place, there was only one less person who planted dogwood everywhere.Lu Jingyu was not in the mood to go out, and sat alone in the yard drinking. There were three glasses on the table, and the glasses were filled with wine. He poured two glasses of wine on the ground, and then poured wine into his glasses.

This time he didn't move after getting drunk, and fell asleep on the stone table.During this period of time, he has been in a bad mood. Yan Xiao wanted to say something to comfort him several times, but he dared not say anything after seeing him.His master traveled abroad all the year round, and he probably spent this Double Ninth Festival with old friends, so in the end he was sitting here alone, thinking about the old man who would never come back again.

Yan Xiao came back with everyone in the evening. He turned to the town to buy some snacks. He planned to drink and chat with Master at night. Master drank and he chatted.In fact, he also wanted to go back to Lanshan to visit his other family members, but his uncle never came back after he left that day. He wanted to tell the master, but the master's expression never calmed down, and he watched him very closely every day, so he also There is no chance to ask my uncle to pick him up behind my master's back.

He poured tea and served refreshments.

Lu Jingyu closed his eyes and rested his mind, not even looking at the tea next to him.

Yan Xiao quietly took out the dumb whistle and used it. A while ago, he took advantage of Lu Jingyu to go to the forbidden area, and gave the few jars of wine left in the house to the masters who usually took good care of him, just because he was afraid that the master would drink again recently. , his master seldom interacts with other masters on weekdays, so he can't drink any wine.

Guessing that the time is coming, Yan Xiao found an excuse to sneak out: "Master, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, first..."

Lu Jingyu didn't even open his eyes, and interrupted him: "Is your uncle coming?" This kid's thoughts were written all over his face, and he was hesitant to speak just now, and he guessed it right away.

"Master, I just miss my uncle. If Master doesn't want to see him, we can say a few words from a distance to promise not to bother you." Yan Xiao quickly explained, trying to save the situation and prevent Lu Jingyu from getting angry.

"It's okay, your uncle can come, tell him, tell him to go back and bring the best wine and I'll let him in." Lu Jingyu pointed in a direction and told Yan Xiao to go over and stop him.

Yan Xiao saw that things had turned around, but he was still worried that his master would lose his composure after drinking, so he hesitated.

Lu Jingyu asked with a half-smile, "Didn't your uncle take good care of me last time? Are you worried?"

Yan Xiao felt that his cold sweat was about to break down, and he didn't think about whether the person in front of him was angry or not, and hurriedly walked in the direction he pointed.

Ying Yi was about to arrive, but seeing Yan Xiao rushing towards him, he asked Yan Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, what's the matter?"

"Uncle, my master said...he told you to go back and bring the best wine, and he will let you in." Yan Xiao whispered more and more.

Ying Yi smiled and touched Yan Xiao's head, and said, "Go back and accompany your master, I'll be right there."

Yan Xiao went back to sit with Lu Jingyu for a while, and Ying Yi came over with wine.Seeing that they had nothing to say for a while, Yan Xiao could only say something among them to enliven the atmosphere.He dryly said some words such as "I heard a joke that day", "I recently learned a new set of sword skills", "I read an interesting story in the scriptures", but the atmosphere still failed to activate. Seeing that he was about to slip into the abyss of embarrassment again.

At this time, Lu Jingyu opened his mouth, and he asked Yan Xiao: "Don't you want to go and chat with other uncles? Go if you want."

This is obviously to dismiss him, but the teacher's order is hard to break, Yan Xiao took a look and saw that his uncle had no intention of letting him stay, so he left.It just so happened that there were quite a few brothers under the disciples of the other uncles, unlike my own master who only had one apprentice, so he couldn't be lively even if he wanted to.

"I'm going to get some water." Ying Yi brought the same wine as last time, this wine was a bit stronger for people, so he had to mix a little water, so he put down the wine and went to fetch water.

When he came back, he found that Lu Jingyu had already opened the wine jar and poured himself a drink. After the first cup, he wanted to drink the second cup. He quickly stopped him, but luckily he didn't drink much at this time.

Ying Yi stood in the way of Lu Jingyu, while mixing water, he felt like a dealer who came from afar to sell fake wine, he poured the wine into a bigger bowl, and said to Lu Jingyu, "Don't worry, let's drink enough today. "

Lu Jingyu laughed softly at the side, took a bowl of wine and drank it down, then poured himself another bowl, just as he was about to drink, Ying Yi grabbed his hand and put the bowl aside.

Lu Jingyu showed displeasure on his face: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, so I can't drink a little wine during the festival? Come and drink with me!"

Ying Yi said: "There is no such way as you, drinking without saying a word, what are you doing to drown your sorrows with wine? Is there any distress that you can't tell me?"

Lu Jingyu reached for the bowl of wine with his other hand, but Ying Yi also grabbed it. He struggled a bit, and seeing that he was at a disadvantage, he opened his mouth to bite Ying Yi's hand.

Ying Yi's experience of being tortured last time was still vivid in his memory, he quickly let go of his hand and let Lu Jingyu drink.

"I seem to be about to forget how I thought about my senior brother back then, but I will never forget that I killed my senior brother and your sister. Obviously we were friends at the beginning, but in the end they died because of my fault!" Yes, it's all my own fault, Lu Jingyu thought, pouring down a bowl of wine.

After drinking a bowl, Lu Jingyu filled the bowl again.

"Senior brother said before that there will be people who will support and rely on each other with me. Now I know that senior brother is a family member to me. It's just that the disaster I brought will never change. Everything is caused by me." He said Drank the wine in the bowl again.

Ying Yi looked at Lu Jingyu, and said very seriously: "It is the eavesdroppers who spread rumors with evil intentions, which caused such a big disturbance. There is nothing wrong with expressing your feelings. They involved you in this disturbance, and did not I won’t worry about you, so in the end they deserve to die.”

"You don't need to persuade me, I'm going to sleep, you go." Lu Jingyu stood up and wanted to go back, but fell to the ground.

Ying Yi quickly got up to pull people, he was very anxious so his hands became stronger, and he pulled Lu Jingyu into his arms, he suddenly felt that this was also very good, he held Lu Jingyu and refused to let go.

Lu Jingyu was not very sober, he struggled to break free from Ying Yi's arms, and seeing that he couldn't push him away, he began to curse.

"Animals, dirty, taking advantage of others' danger, having evil intentions, I'll tell you what you want to say, I won't let go, what can you do to me?" Seeing the whistle on Lu Jingyu's neck, Ying Yi freed up a hand He pulled out the whistle and waved it in front of Lu Jingyu's eyes.

"I threw them all away, but you still picked them up. It's obvious that you don't want to part with me and don't want to make a clean break with me. Naturally, I won't let you go." Ying Yi said, tightening his arms a little more like a demonstration.

Lu Jingyu was dizzy, since Ying Yi refused to let go, all he could do was let him retreat.He shouted while trying to break free: "At that time, I was bad-tempered, arrogant and indulgent, and I often lost my temper with my senior. Many people have long disliked me--what's more, I framed my senior because of jealousy! I No! I don’t have half a friend these years, I don’t need them, the farther away they are from me, the better, go away! You go too, I don’t need you!”

Seeing Lu Jingyu's emotional breakdown, Ying Yi hugged him a little tighter, stroked his back, trying to calm him down slowly.

After a while, Lu Jingyu finally calmed down a bit, letting Ying Yi hold her as if she had lost her strength.He murmured: "I am not jealous of senior brother, I just... just want senior brother to value me. There are so many senior brothers of the same generation, and only senior brother is close to me, but I am not the only one who is close to senior brother... If even He no longer pays attention to me, so what is the difference between me and myself who was living on the street back then? Now that my brother is gone, no one will take a look at me anymore..."

Hearing what Lu Jingyu said, Ying Yi sighed silently, thinking that this person is just like what he said that morning, fragile and insecure, and he loves to hold on.The two of them are also similar to a certain extent. When he was young, he was seriously injured in an accident, but when he woke up, he learned that the sister who loved him the most was gone.

He whispered next to Lu Jingyu's ear: "I believe you are not that kind of person, otherwise how could you have taught such a good apprentice? The one who is willing to look at you is right in front of your eyes, please show me your face, although I Not a human being, but I allow you to see me as a human being once."

Lu Jingyu struggled to break free from Ying Yi's arms, glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "You are not a human, you are a beast, get lost." After speaking, he fell back.

"Okay, okay, I am, I'm going." Ying Yi was stunned by Lu Jingyu's jumping thinking. He was clearly pouring out his inner pain just now, but the next second he would scold him as a beast. Now that he said that, then he His thinking has to jump for a while - if you don't do something to prove yourself, you will be sorry for Lu Jingyu's insight.

But don't worry, after all, they still have a lot of time, and it can be said that they have a long time to come.

It was getting late, Ying Yi carried Lu Jingyu back, and sat beside his bed to drink.

Lu Jingyu was still dishonest when he was sleeping, Ying Yi tucked the quilt several times but it didn't work, so he just went to bed and slept with Lu Jingyu in his arms.The next morning, before Lu Jingyu woke up, Ying Yi left quietly, and put a box on Lu Jingyu's desk before leaving.

This time he was sure that Lu Jingyu would never throw away that box again.
