Farewell to the second grandfather, when we have come to the lowest point of the hill where the village is located, and then look back, but I see the second grandfather still looking at us with crutches,

I feel very bad in my heart, Jiang said to me: "Life has eight sufferings, life, old, sick, dead, long-term grudge, love parting, can't ask, can't let go, all sentient beings are suffering, there will always be someone around you, you will encounter more such things in the future, get used to it."

I asked, “Master, are you used to it?”

Jiang Yi smiled: "There is no habit, so I left home, no care, there is no love and hate parting."

These truths Jiang can say a lot, but many times I can see that although he can solve my knot, but he can deal with these problems, still can not let go,

Perhaps this is the difference between strong and weak, strong people can cover up their emotions, and we can only rely on them to solve the knot.

Walk all the way to the door again,

The doorway of the road is already full of weeds, and the fate of Jiang and I began here from here, and here again,

I looked at the door has been covered by weeds tightly solid stone trough, think of my grandfather told me about this stone trough, said that there is a large stone trough at the door, the former inside is filled with white rice, then all are poor, there is a broken food can go there to scuff for a bowl of emergency, as long as a bowl later on,

Now the stone trough is empty, the grandfather is not there, our Chen family is human, just like this stone trough, from prosperity to decline, now there is only an ancient breath,

Jiang saw me looking at the stone trough, reached out and knocked down my forehead, "Stupid boy, what do you think, do not go in."

I entered the Taoist view behind the river, although I did not live here for a long time, it has become a ruin, but I have a special sense of intimacy with this place.

This view is not large in scale, there are only a few simple rooms, corresponding to the Taoguan gate is the three clear halls of Taoguan, weekdays fragrant guests and Taoists do morning classes in the Sanqing Temple,

There are three houses next to the Sanqing Temple, one where the Daoists used to live, one is a guest house for the guests, and the other is the Hall of Ramadan.

As for the place to bathe, there is a stone cylinder in this yard, the view is the big gentlemen, there is no taboo in the bath, directly in the yard to wash,

Because it is a Taoist view, blessed by the Taoist gods and fairies, although it is full of weeds, but there is no half-tuttered air, standing in it is refreshing, much better than our village.

Jiang and I stood in the yard for a while, Jiang Yi looked at the grass in the yard and the dust spider web inside the viewing room, glanced at his mouth with disgust, and said, "You may have to work hard today."

I said, “Why?”

Jiang left my shoulder, then pointed to the yard, and pointed to the house inside and said, "Clean up the weeds, and clean the house again."

I said, “And you.”

Jiang Yuan laughed, “Do you still want Master to do these jobs?”

I was busy saying that I did not dare, immediately took the sword and cut it up against the weeds, Jiang was actually not idle, cleaned up my ruined yard, held the weed outside, and burned it.

After the yard cleaned the feelings, there were Sanqing Temples and other houses, because there were not enough manpower, and we wasted a whole day to clean up the inside and outside of the road.

By the evening I was tired, I went straight into the guest house, lying on the bed and not moving, Jiang left standing at the door to look at me, and then shook my head: "I went to the mountain to get some food back, there are many taboos in the Taoguan, do not do things that defile the gods."

“I know,” I replied impotently,

Jiang patted his forehead, put his things on the table in the house, and then left in his robe.

Because this is the Taoist view, I am not worried that there will be a ghost ghost coming in, lying on the bed soon to sleep,

After sleeping, I did not know how long, I was awakened by the sound of the house, I thought that Jiang had left behind, and he opened his eyes and sat up, and before Master shouted, he was stuck in his throat.

This room is not Jiang away, there are indeed about a dozen men and women standing, each dressed strangely dressed, they look at me more strange eyes,

When I woke up, I pointed me up and said something I didn't understand at all.

I immediately grabbed the sword next to me and made a look that if you dared to come forward, I would kill you.

They pointed me out, there was no movement, I had no reason to do it, just they pointed so, so strange, and finally coughed: "Who are you, this is the Taoist view, you don't mess with here."

When I finished, one of the older people looked up and down and looked up and looked at me and asked, "Little doll, where did you come from, how did you run here, someone already lives in this place, if you sleep enough, go quickly."

This view was originally an old Taoist, after the death of the old Daoist, Jiang left here, although the river left, but this view should still be his, and I also brought it here, this view is also my clean-up, why can't I live here,

I didn’t say anything to explain, and another person said to me, “Go quickly.”

Then you spoke my words and began to drive me away.

I saw that Jiang had not yet returned, and they were strange and strange, some panicked, and put their fingers together, and read the curse of the god of destruction.

The curse was not read a few words, and the opposite of these people looked great, shouting: "Run, this boy is a practicing family."

Then he went out into the garden.

I immediately got up and chased out, stood at the door staring at them, the fingers still did not put down, as long as I read a sentence too urgent for the old man now, this curse can be exhibited, when they say that one or two of them will be destroyed by this curse,

But Jiang did not like to kill people at will, and I did not dare to do so casually, so I said, "No matter who you are, this view was originally my master's residence, my master went down the mountain, you hurry, otherwise don't blame me for not being polite."

Hearing this of me, the eyes of the people in front of me stared, this time more curiously looked at me, their eyes gusted for a long time, and their faces asked curiously: "Little doll, which is your master,"

"Jiang left, Jiang Daozu," I reported the name of Jiang's departure,

After listening to my words, they were a little sluggish for a while, and then they laughed, and a few of them even came to my side, and no matter what I was doing now, they reached out and touched me on my head, and said with a smile on their faces, “It is Jiang Dao’s apprentice, your master.”

“You know my master,” I asked them.

They nodded: "We are the ghosts around here, used to come to Tao to listen to the sermon of the chief of Jiang Dao, after he left, we helped to guard this view, originally thought that the river chief would not come back, did not expect to bring back a small doll."

They have done anything too much to me from beginning to end, if there is any malice, it should have been done long ago, I did not doubt their words, let down their vigilance,

They were also ready to say something to me, and Jiang walked in from outside the Taoist view now and saw the situation coughing up inside: "What are you doing?"

These ghosts immediately looked back in awe and looked at the river, and then walked away: "See the river chief," and then said, "When did you come back, we did not find out,"

He looked at me and said, “Go back first.”

They no longer ask questions, and withdraw from the Taoist view,

After they left, I asked Jiang away who they were, Jiang told me, and they were the same as they were told to me, there was no gap, but some of the ghosts that Jiang met when they were away from here were not harmful people.

After entering the house, after eating something, after talking about it, Jiang left and said to me: "Rest well, follow me to Xixuan Mountain in a moment."

Our purpose here is the mountain, grace nods,

About nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang left in the Daoguan to find a relatively small robe for me to put on, and then accompanied him to the next mountain,

The mountain was originally a few trees, but after the excavators came, the trees were cut down a lot, set aside the flat ground, and there were many tents on the flat land, but there was no one living in the tent.

Jiang and I walked on the edge of these tents and asked, “Why don’t they live here at night?”

“There are tidbits, and they don’t dare to live here.”

I and Jiang said, walking through the tent to the front, the excavation site in front, piles of new mud piles next to it, the middle has dug a lot of pits, but there is no grave in my imagination.

Jiang and I stood by this pit, thinking that there was some gap with what I thought, and I was a little disappointed, saying, “Is this the grave of the Devil’s Valley?”

Jiang Yi shook his head: "Of course not, I just heard from the old Dao chief that this Xixian Mountain may be the tomb of the ghost valley, but whether it is, no one knows, except for the ghost valley tomb, here is still a battlefield in the Southern Song Dynasty, it seems that we are worried, they did not dig up the tomb of the ghost valley, only excavated the southern Song battlefield."

I am now curious about only two things, one is the Xixian witch, one is the ghost valley, since the tomb of the ghost valley has not been dug out in the mountains, the Xixuan witch has become my focus, so asked Jiang left: "Where is the Xixuan witch, did not see her ah?"

Jiang left the station straightened his body and looked around,

There was a little moonlight at night, and I could see things about 20 meters around me, except that the trees were new mud, and there was nothing else, but Jiang left to give me a trick: "You pick up four stones, one after another to the ground, and the Xixian woman will hear the sound of it."

I was curious to the extreme, immediately bent down to pick up four stones, and then asked Jiang away: "Xi Xuan's demon is powerful, in case she comes out, you are not her opponent."

Jiang Yisheng smiled, “Your master will always be the most powerful.”

I was reassured by what he said, and immediately lost the four stones in his hand one after the other in the distance.

And clamored,

Four stones fell to the ground, and the sound spread throughout the forest, and I held my breath and looked around, but I still did not see the Xixian woman.

Just as he was about to say to Jiang, when the Xixian daughter-in-law did not appear, the words to the throat were stuck back.

A beautiful white figure appeared on the east side of the forest, and his eyes firmly looked at us.

In the bright moonlight, her white dress danced, with long hair floating, I was stunned, pulled the river away and said: "She is so beautiful."

Jiang Yi smiled: "Her husband died in this battlefield, she has been waiting on the battlefield for more than a thousand years, but whoever hears a sound similar to the horseshoes will come out to see if her husband returned on a horse, and then some tourists found her, and then called her Xixuan, beautiful."

I nodded, she really is the best person I have ever seen.

Jiang nodded with interest: “I think so too, but you should think about how to explain the sound of horseshoes to her.”
