Not far after we walked out, the old Taoist priest chased us out.
"Master, please save my disciple." The old Taoist priest spoke again.
"Okay, you can lead the way." I had already promised, so naturally I would not refuse.
When I came to Lao Dao's residence, I finally understood why he was obsessed with winning or losing, and with the money for cleaning his house.
What I saw in front of me was not a hotel or even an inn, but a small building that was about to collapse and no one lived in it.
Fortunately, this location is relatively remote, at the edge of the town, and there are not many people around.
"Why didn't I arrange a place for you to stay?" I asked subconsciously.
"Lao Luo entertained him all the time before, but no one could do anything when he entered the old house. Then he simply didn't care..." Huang Yu took the initiative to explain that Mr. Luo had also become Lao Luo. It seemed that he was very interested in Mr. Luo. There are also quite a few opinions.
The old man had an embarrassed look on his face, but looking at my surprised look, he just sighed.
"This place..." Heizi also felt a little uncomfortable.
"This place is about to be demolished. There are more people traveling in the town recently, and a hotel is going to be built here." Huang Yu felt a little uncomfortable looking at the small building in front of him.
"Boss Huang, let them stay in our hotel." I turned to look at Huang Yu.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Huang Yu was stunned for a moment and immediately took out the phone.
Don't say that he didn't expect me to take care of Lao Dao, Lao Dao himself didn't expect it either.
"I have offended many people before, but I was blind, so I ask the master to atone for my sins." The old Taoist clasped his fist at me politely, and his tone was very sincere.
"Senior, you are very polite. We are both Taoists, and the master was also very frugal back then." Actually, I remembered the bankbook with only one hundred yuan left by the master.
Following the master, I have never suffered such a sin.
"It's arranged, you can go there at any time." Huang Yu put down the phone and came to me.
"Get the person over first, it won't help recovery here." I said and looked at the old man.
"Okay, everything is up to you." The old Taoist looked at me with no trace of hatred in his eyes.
"Experts, please wait a moment." The old Taoist said and walked towards the small sloping building in front of him.
To say that he actually had nothing to say to his apprentice, it was just because he was poor, and sometimes he had no choice but to do so, because not everyone was as lucky as me.
If Heizi and Grandpa hadn't appeared, I might have starved to death.
Lao Dao carried the unconscious twin into Huang Yu's car. The other twin didn't speak, but nodded towards us.
It is estimated that his master has roughly told us what happened, and he still needs some time to digest it at this moment.
When they arrived at the hotel, the old Taoist still carried his apprentice on his back and gently placed him on the bed in the room. The love in his eyes could not deceive anyone.
"You all go out." Haitang looked at the unconscious twins in front of her and turned around and said.
"Peony stay, let's all go out." I said, spreading my hands, and exited the door with everyone else.
Zhu Youshu and the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate naturally cannot be seen by outsiders. I let Mudan stay, which is just to confuse the public.
The layout of the room was the same as the one we lived in. A few of us were sitting in the living room, and the old man was pacing back and forth nervously.
"Don't worry, it's okay." I comforted softly.
"Thank you, Master, for the rescue. It was my fault before." The twins spoke after a moment of silence.
"I wasn't right either. I shouldn't have ignored him." I stood up with my fists clasped.
While the two were being polite, the door to the room opened, and Haitang and Peony walked out together.
"Master..." The old man and his twins immediately came forward to greet him.
"You'll be fine after just two days of rest." Haitang responded with a smile.
"I am confused. You are repaying kindness with kindness. I am really ashamed..." The old Taoist said and was about to kneel down.
When the twins saw this, they also knelt down.
"I can't help it..." I quickly stepped forward to support the two of them.
"You are the real Taoists, I am not worthy..." The old Taoist looked away with a grimace, looking ashamed.
"Master..." The twins opened their mouths with tears in their eyes.
"Don't be like this, we're just lucky." I quickly comforted him.
"Hey...it's only my fault that I'm not good at studying and I misled others..." the old Taoist said and looked at the twins.
"It's not easy for you to stick to this path and not let the Taoism be lost." Heizi suddenly said, this sentence was quite shocking.
When he doesn't suffer from cerebral thrombosis, this kid really has some Taoism.
In fact, the master also said back then that this road is not easy to walk. Now there are fewer monsters and monsters, and there are fewer people who believe in ghosts and gods.
Each Taoism is passed down orally. There are not many truly powerful Taoisms in the world, but there are many truly powerful demons.
It is really not easy to still uphold righteous thoughts and continue on the path of spiritual cultivation.
As for the evil spirit in Lao Dao and the twins, it was all due to their evil thoughts before, but now the evil spirit has dissipated.
After eliminating the conflicts between us, we were finally able to sit calmly and look at each other, and even began to exchange Taoism.
The old Taoist actually has a very solid foundation, otherwise it would not be so easy for his soul to leave the body.
It's just that the things his master gave him back then were relatively complicated and there were no written records. As time went by, as he practiced some of the techniques, it seemed that this was no longer the case.
When we talked about this, we all became interested, and Huang Yu wisely left first.
We exchanged a lot of Taoist knowledge with the old Taoist, and even showed each other's talismans.
This kind of behavior is equivalent to two ordinary people handing each other their ID cards and reporting their family business, pretty much the same.
I don't know why I trust him, maybe it's a feeling.
However, the old man did not live up to my trust and even pointed out some shortcomings in my talismans.
"I said why sometimes this thing doesn't achieve the effect..." I suddenly realized.
Of course, I also pointed out some problems in the old Taoist talismans, and we even had in-depth exchanges about Taoism, seals, and incantations.
He learned a lot from me, and I learned a lot from him.
"Different paths lead to the same destination. It seems that what we have learned is almost the same. It's a pity that no one is willing to communicate, otherwise many Taoist teachings would not be lost..." the old Taoist said with emotion.
"It's okay, I just want to take these few days and let's communicate more." I said with a smile.
"But where is the haunted house?" The old man frowned.
"After the game is broken, let it bask in the sun for two days, and let the evil spirit pass away for a while before we deal with it." I explained while looking at everyone.
"Master, don't you need to put up the talisman to seal the house first?" The twins came forward and asked.
"That won't work..." Lao Dao and I said in unison.
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling as if they had met each other too late.
"Say it..." The two said in unison again.
"Hahaha..." The old man and the young man couldn't help laughing.
"You'd better explain it to everyone." The old man stopped smiling and looked at me.
"If we want to prevent evil spirits from escaping or entering, we need to seal the house with amulets, but the old house has a very evil spirit. If we seal the house, it will be counterproductive." After I finished speaking, I looked at the old man.
"Yes, yes, the master is right. We need to take this period of time to let those evil spirits pass away. When we go in, it will not be so dangerous." The old Taoist took over the words and looked at his apprentice.
"Oh, that's it." The twins nodded thoughtfully.
"We've been chatting for so long, but you don't know the distinguished person's name?" The old man clasped his fists politely.
"Senior, please don't be so polite, I, Zhang Tianyi." I said as I stood up and clasped my fists.
"Excuse me, Zhong Ke'an." The old Taoist also stood up quickly and gave me a polite fist.
"This is the dog, Zhong Xin, this is the elder brother, and the one inside is the younger brother, Zhong Nian." The old Taoist said, pulling the twins beside him over.
Could it be that the old Taoist is so aggressive when he comes to the door? It turns out that this is his son.
"Junior has met the master." Zhong Xin bowed to me respectfully.
Still dazed, I quickly returned the favor with a smile. In fact, these twins were older than me. In my panic, I really became an elder.
I guess no one expected that we would have such a harmonious day, and everyone came forward to introduce themselves.
In fact, it was already getting late at this time. I thought about it and called Huang Yu, preparing to find a place where I wouldn’t get drunk.
"Master, I will stay and take care of my junior brother." Zhong Xin felt uneasy and stood at the door.
"Okay, I'll bring you something to eat." Zhong K'an looked at Zhong Xin with soft eyes.
"No, no, I'll have someone bring it to the room." Huang Yu immediately took out the phone.
After a few glasses of wine, everyone opened their hearts even more. It turns out that Zhong Ke'an is far more powerful than I thought.
