I don't read much and have a low level of education, but I know that Yizhuang is a place where ancient people kept their corpses. What's more, the Taoist temple and Yizhuang are two things that can't be hit with eight poles.

Did I go to the wrong place?

I turned around to see if there were any other houses around, but when I turned around I saw Liu Laodao standing behind, which shocked me.

"You are not in the wrong place, and you are not mistaken. This is Yizhuang, not a Taoist temple." Liu Yuan, wearing a washed white robe, said with his hands behind his back: "The things parked here are all fished out of the Mang River.

Something to come!”

What was that thing fished out of the Python River?

I knew Liu Yuan wouldn't answer, so I simply didn't ask and took a look at Yizhuang.

The three tile-roofed houses are all in dilapidated condition. The door of the one on the left has fallen off and some debris is piled inside. On the right is the kitchen, with a fence blocking the door, which is just a decoration.

The room in the middle seemed to have been repaired, and the door leaf was still standing upright. Liu Yuan stepped forward and opened the door, and a burst of cold air rushed out, making me shiver.

The earthen house is more than 70 square meters, with five black coffins placed in the middle, which is particularly conspicuous.

Five coffins were arranged in a circle, with an oil lamp burning on each coffin head. In the middle was a red coffin, which was covered with iron chains and hung vertically from a beam.

I was a little scared, so I huddled behind Liu Yuan and asked, "Are these coffins fished out of the Mang River?"

"No, only the red coffin in the middle was salvaged from the Mang River." Liu Yuan replied and then changed his subject: "Besides me, you are the fifth person to enter Yizhuang. From now on, you are the

I am Liu Yuan's fifth apprentice." He then pointed to the broken bed in the corner: "From now on, you will sleep here and be responsible for guarding the five oil lamps. Don't let them go out."

Before I could say a word, Liu Yuan threw an oil-covered book over and asked me what I wanted to ask. The answers were all written in the book.

"Five Elements?" The book was very old and the handwriting was blurred. I flipped through it and was about to say that I didn't know some words. Liu Yuan seemed to know what I was going to say and threw another dirty dictionary over.

, and asked me to look it up in the dictionary if I didn’t understand.

I held back my anger at that time and risked my life to become my teacher, but he just did it perfunctorily?

With my previous personality, regardless of whether he was a living god or a land lord, I would have slapped the broken book in his face with my backhand. But it was different now. I took a long breath and put away the dictionary and ancient books.

The apprenticeship process seemed to have ended just like that. Liu Yuan did not make too many introductions. He just said that he had something to do and wanted to go down the mountain and left.

There were six coffins in the house, and I didn't dare to stay inside even during the day, so I took a dictionary and ancient books and looked through them in the yard.

I couldn't recognize all the words on it, but after reading it for a few hours, the content of the book completely subverted my understanding, and I slowly became immersed in it.

It wasn't until the sun set that Liu Yuan didn't come back, so I panicked a little. Before the sun set behind the mountain, I bravely went in and refueled the five oil lamps on the black coffin.

The materials of the five lamps are different. I remember it was mentioned in the "Five Elements" that it seems to be called the Five Elements Lamp. From south to north, they are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The lamps made of metal, wood, and earth are made of metal, wood, and earth. The two lamps of water and fire look a little weird.

Out of curiosity, I didn't dare to move. Because according to the records in the book, the five-element lantern is used to suppress evil spirits.

Thinking of this, I glanced at the red coffin hanging on the beam, clasped my trembling hands together, bowed, and then ran back to the yard quickly.
