Taoist Master Ma was stunned for a long time after listening to Yu Fei's words. Then he slowly said: "You said I was possessed by an evil spirit. How... how is this possible..." Obviously he didn't want to believe it. He helped others exorcise it. A lifetime of evil. In the end, even he was possessed by evil spirits.
Taoist Master Ma felt that he was a Taoist and it was very inconvenient to live in Liu Qingxi. What's more, he felt extremely guilty now. After all, as a Taoist, being possessed by an evil spirit was indeed a very shameful thing.
So that night he proposed to go back to the Taoist temple. Liu Qingxi, his fourth uncle and all the villagers wanted to stay. Taoist Master Ma stayed the night in the village. It was estimated that not many people could sleep well, so they did not do much to persuade him to stay.
But Yu Fei said that he would accompany Taoist Master Ma to Qinglong Temple. On the one hand, he wanted to go to Qinglong to see what kind of evil spirit it could be. It was able to sneak into the Taoist temple and possess a cultivator. On the other hand, he I also want to chat with Taoist Master Ma. I want to know what is so special about this area. Why did the god bring Kun Yuanzi here? Is he just passing by or doing something?
Liu Qingxi wanted to keep Yu Fei at home no matter what. Yu Fei was now considered a great benefactor to Liu Qingxi's family. He didn't even bother to thank him properly. Naturally, he was unwilling to let him go.
The fourth uncle also hopes that Yu Fei can stay in the village for a few more days. Of course, he has other thoughts. After all, such evil things have happened in the village. And no one knows whether the evil spirit has been eliminated. Yu Fei is here. .It makes people feel more at ease.
Yu Fei naturally understood what his fourth uncle meant. He asked Taoist Master Ma to distribute all the evil-suppressing talismans in the bag to the villagers, and told everyone that as long as they posted these talismans at home, they would be able to live in peace.
In fact, he knows in his heart that there are so many evil things. This place is not a Feng Shui evil place. The appearance of an evil spirit is already surprising. His purpose of doing this is to reassure everyone on the one hand and on the other hand. I also wanted to save some face for Taoist Ma.
This time, Taoist Master Ma was in trouble. It could be said that he had lost all his face. Yu Fei asked every household in the village to affix the evil-suppressing charms he drew. This was somewhat of an affirmation of his ability to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate them.
Taoist Master Ma is also a sensible person. He immediately understood Yu Fei's intention and couldn't help but be grateful to Yu Fei in his heart.
On the way back to Qinglong Temple with Taoist Master Ma, Yu Fei started chatting with him: "Taoist Master, what do you think might be possessing you?"
Taoist Ma sighed: "Oh, I have exorcised countless evil spirits in my life and offended many evil spirits. I really can't remember which evil devil was plotting against me."
"Then you don't remember how long it took." Yu Fei asked.
Taoist Master Ma pondered for a while and said: "The days I can remember are more accurate around the eighth day of the seventh lunar month. Lao Wangtou from Heishuigou Village died. He asked me to perform rituals for a few days. And then on. .I don’t have any specific impression.”
The eighth day of the seventh lunar month was half a month ago. It seems that the time when Taoist Master Ma was possessed by evil spirits was shorter than originally thought. Yu Fei continued to ask: "So, did anything special happen in those days? matter."
Taoist Master Ma thought for a while: "There seems to be nothing special...but there is something. I can't say how special it is, but it is a coincidence."
"What's the matter?" Yu Fei quickly asked.
"I accidentally discovered an underground darkroom in our Taoist temple. In the underground darkroom, there was a corpse that had turned into withered bones. There was also a box. I don't know what material this box was made of. It looked like some kind of It's a special metal. It's neither iron nor gold. It's completely black. There's a rather weird pattern engraved on the top of the box. There's no lock on the box, but it's closed very tightly. No matter how hard I try, I can't. Open the box, but in the end I had to give up," Taoist Master Ma said.
When Yu Fei heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Is that box still there?"
"It's still in the underground darkroom. I couldn't open it, so I kept it there and didn't bother with it."
Yu Fei frowned and said, "Maybe the evil spirit is related to this underground darkroom. When we get to the Taoist temple, can you take me there to have a look."
Taoist Master Ma nodded.
Qinglong Temple is only five or six miles away from Heishuigou Village. It is located on a hill. The two of them were walking and chatting, and unknowingly they came to the Taoist Temple.
Yu Fei raised his head and looked at the moonlight. He could vaguely see three incomplete large characters engraved on the black plaque above the Taoist temple... Qinglong Temple.
The door of the Taoist temple was ajar. Taoist priest Ma stepped forward and pushed it with his hand. With a creaking sound, the two wooden doors were pushed open. Taoist priest Ma made a gesture to invite Yu Fei in. Entered the Taoist temple.
This Taoist temple has only been guarded by Taoist priest Ma alone for a long time. The Taoist temple is not big. In addition to a main hall in the front, there are three rooms in the back. Taoist priest Ma lives in one room himself, and the remaining two rooms are used as guest rooms. Sometimes some Taoist friends from far away come to visit and have a place to stay.
The entire Taoist temple is made of stone and wood. The tiles are also blue tiles. It looks like it has been around for some time. Many places look a bit shabby. Even the statue of Sanqing Immortal in the main hall gives people a sense of incompleteness. I feel, however, that Director Ma has kept this place very clean and tidy.
"This Taoist temple should have some history, right?" Yu Fei asked.
Taoist priest Ma smiled and said: "This Taoist temple was originally an altar. The altar has a long history. It is said to have existed for thousands of years. Later, the altar was destroyed by a drought thunder. The Taoist temple was built in the Ming Dynasty. It has been built for hundreds of years."
Yu Fei couldn't help but be startled. How could it be thunder in a drought again?
Taoist Master Ma arranged for Yu Fei to stay in a guest room. Yu Fei had not taken a shower or changed clothes for several days. At this time, he was smelly. He thought it was inappropriate to live in a Taoist temple like this. He started I went to take a shower, changed a set of clothes, and shaved my beard. My whole appearance immediately changed. When I walked up to Taoist Master Ma, he almost didn't recognize me.
After washing, Yu Fei said to Taoist Master Ma: "How about we go to the underground darkroom you mentioned now and have a look."
"Let's go now. Otherwise, let's wait until daybreak." Director Ma seemed to have some concerns.
"Haha. It's okay. Otherwise, you tell me where the darkroom is. You stay up there and I'll go down and have a look." Yu Fei saw what Taoist Ma was thinking. He must be worried about the dark atmosphere at night and entered the darkroom. What unexpected risks would he encounter? After all, Yu Fei said that he was probably possessed by an evil spirit in the darkroom. He would have some concerns in his heart.
