I took off my backpack and carefully took out the statue of Laojun from inside.
"The car overturned on the road just now, but a big sister protected me. I checked and the statue is intact."
Uncle Ma took the statue with both hands and glanced at me: "Is that to protect you? Silly boy, that is to protect the old gentleman, and you have to thank the old gentleman for protecting you and keeping you unscathed."
I slapped my forehead: "Ah, yes, yes, look at my brain, how could I have forgotten this? With Lao Jun by my side, I must be safe and sound."
Uncle Ma placed the statues in place, bowed three times, and then introduced them to me one by one, saying: "By the way, let me introduce you first. This is Uncle Zhang, and that is Master Ren. The one who brought you here is Huang Tianyou, and Mr. Ren My great disciple, you must call me Brother You."
My eyes had completely adapted to the light at this time, and I saw that Uncle Zhang was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a pale complexion and a serious smile, and he nodded slightly at me.
Mr. Ren is a bearded man, almost in his fifties, with a majestic look on his face, but he had no time to talk to me. He was holding a rabbit leg in his hand and after listening to Uncle Ma’s introduction, he just raised his head and bared his teeth at me, and then Keep chewing on the rabbit legs.
Among these people, Uncle Ma is the oldest, and Huang Tianyou is the youngest.
But this young man's name is quite interesting. There is also a Huangxian named Huang Tianyou in my family, which is a coincidence.
At this time, Xiao Shanzi also interjected: "Uncle Ma, if you continue to do things, should I go back to the mountain and wait for you or what?"
Uncle Ma pondered for a moment, and then said: "You should wait for us at Yingzuilizi. We have something special to do, so we can't take you there. What do you think, Lao Zhang?"
Uncle Zhang nodded when he heard this: "Yes, we can't take you there because it's a bit dangerous. You go back to Yingzuilizi and wait for us. If everything goes well, we can get there before sunset today."
Xiao Shanzi responded: "Okay, I'll wait for you at Yingzuilizi, but what will you do if you haven't come back after sunset?"
Uncle Ma looked up and looked outside the cave: "If we haven't come back after sunset, you can go back and tell the driver Xiao Yang, he will naturally know what to do."
Xiao Shanzi said worriedly: "Then... I won't care about you?"
Huang Tianyou, who was next to him, patted Xiao Shanzi: "Silly boy, if we don't even come back, you can't control it. Remember Uncle Ma's words, go home as soon as the sun goes down, don't wait for us."
Just like that, Xiao Shanzi left in a daze. Looking at his back, I secretly thought that this mission must be unusual, and ordinary people like this could not get close to him.
So I quietly asked Uncle Ma: "Old Ma Tou, it's okay if you go to the second floor of the bathhouse to slay demons and eliminate demons without me. But when you go to the mountain to slay demons and demons, you still hide them. It's not interesting enough."
Uncle Ma glared at me: "Don't talk nonsense, talk about conquering demons. You are still young and don't understand the power of this place. Besides, you are my apprentice, can I be willing to let you take risks?"
Next to him, Mr. Ren also finished chewing the rabbit leg. Hearing this, he said, "Hey, Mr. Ma, this is wrong. Why are you afraid that your apprentice will take risks, but I'm not afraid of my apprentice's risks?"
Uncle Ma chuckled: "That's different. My apprentice is not from the Taoist sect, unlike us. He is from the Ma family. This matter has nothing to do with him."
Master Ren curled his lips: "Since it doesn't matter, why did you call him here? If he can worship you as your teacher and bring Mr. Lao Jun here, then it means that he is destined to our Taoist sect, so you can say that you can protect the calf." .”
What this old man said is true. I know very well that Uncle Ma is protecting me and doesn't want me to take risks with him.
He wouldn't have let me come all the way unless he had to.
So I said bluntly: "Uncle Ma, I'm here anyway, which means that I am also destined to this matter. To put it bluntly, I am destined to have this cause and effect, so you should do whatever you want, as long as I can Just say where you can contribute."
Uncle Ma glared at me again: "Basically, it has nothing to do with you. Your mission is to bring Mr. Lao Jun to me. For other things, you can just follow."
He spoke vaguely, obviously because he didn't want me to get involved too much, or the less I knew, the better.
At this time, Uncle Zhang also came over and said, "Master Ma, what are you hiding from your apprentice? Moreover, this matter is inherently dangerous. If you don't explain the situation to him, what will happen?"
Uncle Ma frowned and said, "Well, actually, my apprentice is too stupid and he hasn't learned anything seriously from me in the past few years. I'm afraid that he will hold us back and affect our work."
Master Ren chuckled and said: "Bring it on, I don't know that about you, Xiao Jiujiu. Xiao Fan, let me tell you, in fact, we came to this place with your master because the Feng Shui here... has a small problem. , so we have to adjust it.”
I heard this and asked, "Did the government invite you here?"
Mr. Ren spread his hands: "Don't ask further. Anyway, the Uncle Zhang in front of you should actually be called Professor Zhang. He was sent from above. I won't tell you which department he belongs to. In short, you will Follow us and do whatever we ask you to do. If you are not allowed to move, just stay still. We will not harm you. You are also following your master, so be careful."
Mr. Ren's words can be regarded as telling half of the incident. In fact, I feel that he didn't even tell half of it. He just told me that there was a problem with Feng Shui here and they were here to adjust it.
I'm still confused, but I also understand that some words just hit the mark. I'm a junior and there's no reason for people to explain so much to me.
So I said, "Thank you, Mr. Ren, for reminding me. I will follow my master. If he leaves, I will leave. If he runs, I will run. I will never cause trouble to everyone."
Mr. Ren laughed heartily: "You, boy, have gained a lot from your master's true teachings. If you don't suffer a loss, you will definitely not suffer a loss."
Professor Zhang said: "Okay, it's almost time, we should get to work."
With that said, he patted my shoulder and walked out of the cave first.
Then Ren Ye and Huang Tianyou also walked out. Huang Tianyou had a backpack on his shoulders, which felt heavy. He also carried a few tools in his hand, such as picks and shovels.
Uncle Ma picked up Lao Junye and handed it to me, then kicked my butt and told me to follow him.
So we walked out of the cave, Huang Tianyou leading the way, and the others followed closely, and walked deep into the forest together.
In fact, I still have a lot of question marks in my mind, and I don’t dare to ask more, so I can only follow closely.
After walking for a few minutes, Uncle Ma deliberately walked slowly, turned around and whispered to me.
"Remember, if anything goes wrong, just run if I tell you to. Don't worry about anything else."
My heart felt slightly awe-inspiring, and I couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Ma, what exactly are we going to deal with this time?"
Uncle Ma glanced at me and said, "There are two things we have to deal with, one is visible and the other is invisible."
I still didn’t understand what Uncle Ma said, but I seemed to have vaguely guessed it.
I wanted to ask something else, but Uncle Ma had already turned around and shouted to the front.
"Master Ren, you all will really take the lead later!"
