Li Ergou held the copper coin sword and stabbed decisively towards the old lady Li Gui.
The copper coin sword flashed with golden light, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at Li Gui's head.
The old lady Li Gui roared, and a look of horror flashed across its face.
It tried to avoid in a panic, but the copper coin sword penetrated its head.
Along with the shrill screams, the figure of the old lady Li Gui gradually dissipated, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing into the air.
Li Ergou stabilized his figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he put away the copper coin sword with a wave of his hand.
Zhao Laosan looked at Wang Jianfei and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were full of fear.
At the same time, he held the quilt tightly with both hands, and his body was trembling slightly.
He looked obviously frightened.
Zhao Laosan approached Wang Jianfei and softly comforted him: "Xiaofei, don't be afraid, the master is here."
As he spoke, he stretched out his warm hand and rubbed Wang Jianfei's hair. The familiar feeling of intimacy made Wang Jianfei gradually calm down.
Li Ergou also came over and looked at Wang Jianfei with concern: "Jianfei, are you okay? That evil ghost has been killed by me."
Zhao Laosan glared at him and signaled him to stop talking.
Li Ergou just shut up.
Wang Jianfei nodded. Although he was still a little frightened, he nodded silently to indicate that he was fine.
Zhao Laosan smiled and patted Wang Jianfei on the shoulder: "Good boy, go to bed quickly. Everything will be fine tomorrow. Master will stay here tonight."
Wang Jianfei followed his master's instructions, carefully pulled up the quilt, and then closed his eyes.
He was a child after all, and he gradually fell asleep after a while.
Seeing their apprentice asleep, Zhao Laosan and Li Ergou exchanged glances, and both could see the meaning in each other's eyes.
Then, the two left the room and returned to the living room downstairs.
Li Ergou said to Zhao Laosan: "Old Zhao, this child will probably be targeted by evil spirits often in the future."
"There's no way, it's fate." Zhao Laosan sighed.
Li Ergou muttered: "You can bring him some ghost-repelling charms or something like that with him, so that some low-level evil spirits can't get close to him."
"It's not enough to rely on talismans alone. He has to learn the secret technique. Otherwise, what will happen if I'm not by his side one day?" Zhao Laosan said calmly.
Li Ergou nodded: "That's the point. I'll clean up the table outside. You sleep in the room next to him at night and go to bed early."
Zhao Laosan hummed and said nothing more.
…
…
Early the next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window.
The warm light shone on Wang Jianfei's face, gently waking him up.
Wang Jianfei slowly opened his eyes and felt that his body had returned to calm.
He sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked around.
He found that the master was not in the room, and Uncle Gou didn't seem to be there either.
He was a little confused and thought of everything that happened last night, so he decided to go to the master for answers.
After getting dressed, Wang Jianfei came downstairs.
Zhao Laosan and Li Ergou had already gotten up and were sitting in the living room downstairs smoking.
"Master." Wang Jianfei whispered.
Zhao Laosan opened the door and looked at Wang Jianfei with a smile: "Xiao Fei, what's the matter? Is something okay?"
Wang Jianfei said with some embarrassment: "Master, last night...last night I seemed to have seen that evil old lady."
Then, he told what happened last night.
Zhao Laosan's expression froze and he replied in a serious tone: "Xiao Fei, you must be dreaming.
Nothing happened last night. Neither your uncle nor I entered your room. "
Wang Jianfei was stunned for a moment. He was a smart boy, but he still chose to believe his master's words.
He nodded: "Maybe I have nightmares, just like I often have nightmares after my parents left."
Zhao Laosan said softly: "Don't be afraid, Master will protect you."
Li Ergou watched quietly from the side, and couldn't help but lament the changes in Zhao Laosan after he became a master.
This bad old man seems to have become more delicate.
…
…
Time flies, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Jianfei was thirteen years old.
Jiangnan City, Sanhe Village.
Inside Zhao Laosan’s old house.
An old lady was taking her daughter to ask Zhao Laosan to help tell fortunes.
Zhao Laosan said with a smile on his face: "Aunt Wang, don't worry, your daughter will definitely have good luck in love in the second half of this year."
The girl in question was extremely shy.
Aunt Wang was overjoyed and said: "Master Zhao, thank you so much."
As he said that, he handed over three hundred-dollar bills and one fifty-dollar bill.
Zhao Laosan waved his hand: "The folks are asking me to tell their fortunes. Can I still collect money? If this gets out, people will definitely get scolded."
Aunt Wang said anxiously: "Master Zhao, if you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to come next time."
"Okay, keep the fifty-fifty one and take back the others. Also, let me remind you, I just helped with the calculation. Whether it can work or not depends on whether your girl can grasp it herself." Mr. Zhao Three "reminds".
Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly, left fifty yuan, thanked her again, and left with her shy daughter.
At this time, a figure walked in from the front yard.
The visitor, with a bald head and an aura of vulgarity on his face, was none other than Li Ergou.
"Hey, Lao Li, I haven't seen you in the past few months. Where have you been having fun?" Zhao Laosan said with a smile.
Li Ergou waved his hand: "Forget it, I went to Xifeng with a few friends on the road to do something, but didn't touch anything."
"Going to touch gold again?" Zhao Laosan handed over a cigarette.
Li Ergou sighed: "There's a damn powerful thing inside a Song Dynasty tomb, and I can't deal with it."
Zhao Laosan rolled his eyes: "King of Corpses?"
Li Ergou took the cigarette and lit it, took a slow breath, and blew out a smoke ring: "It's not the King of Corpses, it looks like a big dog, but the light was too dark, so I didn't see it clearly at the time. Four of us went in, and were beaten by it Two dead."
Zhao Laosan immediately became interested: "You are so rich, why do you still like to touch gold?"
"I just like that exciting feeling. You know, I'm not interested in underworld weapons." Li Ergou looked around: "Where is Jian Fei?"
"I just entered junior high school. I live on campus and come back once every half month." Zhao Laosan said with a smile, "I'm still a little used to this kid not being at home."
"He has been with you for seven or eight years, right? How did he learn?" Li Ergou asked.
"Just like that, I gave him two books. He memorized them by heart. He also knows some basics of secret techniques, but he is not very good at fingering techniques and often makes mistakes."
"If you make a mistake, you have to train him hard. It won't work if you don't train him."
"I have my own way, so don't worry about it."
"Then his illness is getting better?"
"It's still the same as before. He often calls himself sister to himself. I'm used to it anyway. But when he talks to me, it's normal." Zhao Laosan said with a smile.
Li Ergou frowned: "This is a problem after all and must be solved."
