Watching Hei Laoba disappear, I suddenly felt like I was being looked down upon, and I became a little depressed.
I picked up the charm from the ground, observed it carefully for a long time, and finally decided to go to sleep first.
I slept until dawn because I was going to Grandma Tan's house with Master today, so I got up early and packed everything. Just as I was about to go out, I received a message from Master,
"Except for the blood of Quan Yin and Ten Spirits, don't bring any magical weapons or magical medicines. Don't ask why, just do as you are told..."
"What's going on?!"
Going to consecrate the light without bringing a magic weapon or magic medicine? Isn’t this a joke? But then I thought, this time with the master following me, he must be the one taking the lead, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Although I was doubtful, I didn’t ask any more questions.
What.
I threw my backpack on the sofa and rushed to the Soul-Yining Hall...
When we arrived at the Soul-Yining Hall, Master had already packed his things. In fact, there was nothing, just a broken bag, which contained some commonly used magic weapons and magic medicines. I naturally kept this bag when I was away from home.
Master and I were standing at the intersection of Coffin Street. Granny Tan hadn’t arrived yet. Master deliberately leaned into my ear and whispered:
"Xiao Yu, when you go out to consecrate this time, you don't want to show your nakedness first. Just treat yourself as a layman who has just started. Without my consent, you will never be allowed to cast spells and form formations without my permission. Do you understand?"
"Why? Even if I'm not allowed to bring magic weapons and magic medicine, why do you still ask me to pretend to be a layman?"
I suddenly felt something was wrong and asked again,
"Master, what are we going to do this time? That Granny Tan..."
Just as we were halfway through asking, a black car slowly drove up and stopped in front of us. Master immediately waved his hand to signal me to stop talking, and then he opened the door and sat in the back seat, while I sat directly in the passenger seat.
.
When I got in the car and looked back, I saw Granny Tan sitting in the back seat. I hurriedly said hello to her. Granny Tan was very kind and always had a kind smile on her face. Although she was old, I could tell that she should have been young when she was young.
She is a very well-educated lady.
The driver was a dark burly man. When he saw that we were all seated, he started the car and drove towards the north of the city.
"Are Tan Chen and Tan Xi both back?"
While walking on the road, Master suddenly asked Granny Tan.
"I came back three days ago. I'm already waiting at the old house..." Granny Tan said calmly.
"Twenty-one years have passed in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, this is the last time. It's not easy."
"Master Huo, is this... really the last time? For this day, Chen Xi, brother and sister, have never dared to get married. One didn't dare to marry, the other didn't dare to marry. It's okay for Tan Chen, he is a man after all, but
Tan Xi looks thirty years old..."
Master sighed,
"This is the last time. If this time it is solved successfully, the Tan family's calamity will be completely broken..."
At this point, the two of them fell into silence at the same time.
I sat in the front row and kept listening to the conversation between the two, and I couldn't help but murmur in my heart...
It seems that the Tan family has encountered some calamity. It sounds like this calamity has been with them for twenty-one years. It seems that Tan Chen and Tan Xi cannot get married because of the existence of the calamity...
I had doubts in my heart, and from this moment on, I became strongly curious about this consecration.
The car drove all the way north, out of the main city and towards the northern suburbs. Half an hour later, an antique house appeared in my sight. Because it was blocked by trees, I could only see the roof of the house.
From a distance, it looks like the kind of courtyard where a wealthy family lived in the past. Although it is majestic, I don't know why. I am naturally resistant to such buildings. Maybe it is because it is too old and outdated, so it has some spookiness...
At this time, Granny Tan spoke again,
"Master Huo, do you think we should go back to the old house first, or go directly to the cemetery?"
Master looked at the sky outside the window,
"Where are Tan Chen and Tan Xi now?"
"You should be in the cemetery at this time."
"Then we will go directly to the cemetery."
Grandma Tan called the driver, who then went around the house and drove to the mountain road behind. Because the mountain road was bumpy and narrow, we couldn't continue after a short distance. In addition to the driver, Master, Grandma Tan, and I started.
Hiking into the mountains.
Fortunately, the cemetery is not far from the Tan family's old house. After walking for a few minutes, a grave mound appeared in front of us. There were several people standing around the grave. When they saw us approaching, those people also came to greet us.
At the head were two people in plain clothes, a man and a woman. The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was tall and pretty. These two people must be brothers and sisters Tan Chen and Tan Xi. Behind them were several
A burly man.
"Master Huo!" The two of them greeted the master enthusiastically at the same time, with unconcealable excitement in their tone.
Master nodded,
"Well... we haven't seen each other for seven years. It seems that you brothers and sisters are doing well."
"This is all your fault. Without you, our Tan family might have been ruined long ago..." Tan Chen said.
While they were chatting, I turned around and glanced at the grave, but when I saw it, my brows immediately wrinkled...
This tomb is shady and cool, and is exposed to direct sunlight. This is not a yin house, but a yang house!
Moreover, the tomb is so simple that it is almost shabby. Although it has been cleaned very clean, there are no incense candles or tributes in front of the tombstone. The most important thing is that there is no inscription on the tombstone!
I subconsciously walked a few steps in front of the tombstone, squatted down and touched the clean as paper altar with my hands. Is there any trace of incense ash on it and no traces of incense burning? This means that this is a place where no one has been offering sacrifices all year round.
Worship the lonely grave...
But...is this possible?
I picked up some grave soil, and when I touched the soil, I shivered. I was shocked. Under such a strong sun, the soil was bone-chillingly cold.
,What is buried under here?
"Who are you…"
Just when I was wondering, a woman's voice sounded behind me. I quickly stood up and turned around, and saw that it was Tan Xi, who was looking at me suspiciously.
"I am…"
"He is my new apprentice, his name is Lin Yu. He is here to help me this time. Xiaoyu, come back quickly. How many times have I told you, master, don't be so reckless if you don't understand anything!"
Master said quickly, with a hint of reprimand in his tone.
I had no choice but to nod, smile apologetically at the brothers and sisters, and then return to the master in embarrassment.
"It turns out that I'm Master Huo's apprentice. I'm glad to meet you..." Tan Chen said politely.
"Nowhere, I'm just a handyman..."
At this time, the master looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice:
