My Taoist Career

After finally walking onto the platform, I found several people standing on it. Except for two of them I didn’t know, I had seen all of them. They were the lazy soldiers in the small courtyard.

I have never seen those two people, one old and one young. The old one is wearing a gray Tang suit with two buttons. The clothes look a bit worn out, there are even patches on it, and a cloth strip of the same color is wrapped around his head. He is very silent. Smoking dry tobacco there, frowning tightly and not knowing what he was thinking.

As for the young one, he was dressed quite normally, a washed and whitish yellow military uniform, with a crumpled military cap on his head, playing a small emerald green bamboo flute with his cheeks puffed out, his skills are probably too poor , the bamboo flute didn't even make a sound, look at him still playing it, his face was red and his veins were bulging.

I don't even bother to despise him, thinking that my third child, with a piece of bamboo leaf, can make a bamboo whistle and blow it so loudly.

Looking back and seeing the expression on the crispy meat, it is estimated that this kid also has an idea.

At this time, there was a little commotion among the snakes. I looked back, and it turned out that the person who helped me bring a message to Master came in. Seeing everyone’s expressions, they didn’t care much, and I didn’t care anymore. , asked: "Master, why are you here?"

"Nonsense, I definitely want to be here. Last time I found out that this place is a gathering place. If I raise it for a few more decades, I'm afraid the whole village will be affected. I'm afraid it will be difficult for people to survive. I didn't see it. , Can you ignore it if you see it?" My master twitched his neck, as if annoyed that I asked such a stupid question.

And the crispy meat next to him looked confused. Born in New China and raised under the red flag, even if he believed in ghosts, he would definitely not be able to accept the saying that there is no place where people live in the shadows.

I reacted quickly, and immediately asked, "Master, you made such a big commotion, didn't you?"

"Ah, is there a problem?" The old man Jiang folded his hands into his sleeves, looking smug, probably waiting for me to praise him, he is like this, he cares about children's compliments very much.

But I frown, as if I was worried about him.

"Sanbai, what's wrong with you?" Old man Jiang didn't wait to compliment me, but saw my worried face, and now he was also curious.

"Master, I know, you want to help the people in the village, but what should we do now? You lied to them that there are work points to get them, but then what should we do if they don't? Work points can be exchanged for food, so how can we pay them back now? "I listened to worry. I was born in the countryside, so I know the importance of work points. It's not surprising that I can think of this!

As soon as I finished my words, everyone on the platform started to laugh, even the serious old man who was smoking a pipe broke into a grin, the wrinkles on his face were like tree bark.

As for the little brother who was playing the bamboo flute, he also wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, his eyes were closed like crescent moons, and his face turned even redder.

"You bastard..." Old man Jiang couldn't hold back his old face anymore, he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and raised his hand high.

I shrunk my neck, knowing that this slap would not run away, and I might have to be spanked, but I didn't expect that this slap never fell, and in the end, it landed on my head very softly. Touched my hair a few times.

"Forget it, you're thinking about me, and you said why should we pay it back? It seems that you didn't treat Master as an outsider, so I won't beat you up today." The old man Jiang's face was a little weird, and he was very touched by that look, but Feel tense on purpose.

"Old Jiang, you have a good apprentice, and you have a master in your heart. Look at my stupid apprentice." The old man smoking pipes spoke, his voice was like two stones rubbing together, very unpleasant.

"What a good apprentice, I haven't taught him the skills yet, maybe I can't catch up with Old Wu, your apprentice, look at how serious Xiao Ding is." Old Jiang is quite modest, but he laughs obscenely.

"Forget it, look at his stupid appearance, even these little snakes can't be driven away, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my ability to watch the house." The old man whom my master called Old Wu head scolded As an apprentice, he is quite capable.

The young man named Xiaoding heard the words, turned his head, looked at us, and at his master, his eyes were full of grievances.

I felt chills in my heart, thinking that my cheap master hadn't taught me the skills yet, if you said that if he taught me, I couldn't do well, would I just end up like this little Ding?

But the old man Jiang didn't know what I was thinking, so he directly pulled me over, no, it was like pulling a bunch of potatoes in the field, pulling me over.Behind me there is a crispy meat pulling the corner of my clothes!

"Old Wu, this is my apprentice, Chen Chengyi, let's call him Sanwaer. The fat kid behind..." My master didn't know Surou's name, and turned to look at him.

Su Rou was also clever, and hurriedly stepped forward with a silly smile and said, "My name is Su Laifu, and my nickname is Su Rou. Master, you can call me Su Rou."

'Crack' Su Rou was also hit on the head, and the old man Jiang stared at him and said: "Master, don't bark indiscriminately, you have to be good, call... Well, just call me Jiang Ye, come rich, come here Fu, it's worthy of the name, you kid looks blessed."

Su Rou couldn't understand my master's series of rhetoric, he just covered his head and yelled Jiang Ye one by one, it's too fucking shameless, like a traitor, it's that Jiang The old man was delighted to be called, and laughed so coquettishly.

"Okay, Sanbaer, Surou, the Grandpa Wu in front of you is a good friend I met here a few years ago. He is very capable. He plays with snakes. There is no such thing as him in this world." Uncertain snake." My master introduced this old man to Su Rou and me.

Su Rou and I hurriedly called Grandpa Wu, and the old Mr. Wu laughed a few times, very successfully making me and Su Rou laugh out goosebumps, mainly because the voice was too unpleasant.

"The two little dolls are clever, I'll give you some gadgets." Then, the old Wu boss handed me and Su Rou a small bamboo tube.

Crispy Rou and I took it over and took a look. The small bamboo tube was tightly sealed, and a few small holes were made on the lid at one end, just like the bottle used to pour pepper noodles now. When you smell it, it smells pungent. The smell of the bamboo tube hits the face, and there is a small hole in the bamboo tube, and a rope is hung on it, so it looks like it is tied around the waist.

"Small gadgets, not worth mentioning, usually tied around the waist, but it can also avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants, especially snakes. In case of emergency, open the bamboo tube and pour out some powder inside, the effect will be good." It's better." The old head Wu explained a few words lightly.

Su Rou and I were immediately shocked, it was amazing, what a good thing, and immediately put away the bamboo tube, like a treasure.

"Don't hurry up and thank Grandpa Wu." The old man Jiang yelled from the side, and Su Rou and I immediately thanked him, especially me, who felt fresh and couldn't help but took out the bamboo tube again to play with.

The old man Jiang ignored us, and squatted next to the old Wu. He looked at the snakes all over the ground with some worry and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a situation in this remote village. The things raised here But it’s amazing, I’m afraid it will be difficult to deal with it now.”

The old Wu head returned: "I don't understand these things, or you are good at it. All I know is that a snake spirit was attracted to this yin gathering place, but it's a big deal. Snakes like yin." Well, snake spirits avoid human habitation, and rarely appear in human eyes. This cemetery is also close to human habitation. They all come here to practice. It can be seen that this Yin gathering place is extraordinary. If it is intentional, you can guess Impenetrable."

The old man Jiang sighed, and asked, "Old Wu, are you sure you can get that snake spirit away? It's blocking the door of the yin house, and you don't know if you got caught?"

Old Wu Gang wanted to answer, when Xiao Ding turned his head, finally put down the emerald green bamboo flute in his hand, and said in a northern dialect: "Master, I have no choice."

I originally wanted to ask Master what a snake spirit is, and what kind of powerful guy is there in the underground, who can be more powerful than the ghost transformed by Li Fengxian's resentment?But the young man named Xiao Ding has said that, so I can't ask, I have to let others solve the matter first.

He didn't recruit?Could it be that the bamboo flute can't play well, so there's no trick?Anyway, with my confused little head at the time, I couldn't figure out why.

"Forget it, there is a snake spirit, it is normal for a group of snakes to gather together and not disperse. Your ability is not enough, and you need to practice more in the future." At times like this, he still loves his disciples very much.

After speaking, he walked over, took the bamboo flute from Xiao Ding's hand, and sat in Xiao Ding's place to play it, again, silently.

Xiao Ding smiled at me as if he was relieved, he is a pretty little brother, with big eyes and deep dimples, but he is a bit shy.

"Ding Wa, come here." The master waved to Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding came over and sat down next to my master. His face was slightly red, and he bowed his head a little bit shyly. He didn't know what to say to my master.

"At first glance, he looks like an honest boy, unlike you and Surou, the faceless and skinless mountain monkey!" Well, in old man Jiang's heart, I, a heroic warrior, is just a mountain monkey?

"Why are you so stupid? You can't even play a bamboo flute?" I leaned over, next to Xiao Ding, and asked without hesitation.

"That's right, that's right, otherwise I'll tell you to play the bamboo flute." Su Rou chimed in, anyway, we both felt that Xiao Ding didn't blow the bamboo flute for a long time, it was too pitiful.

Old man Jiang chuckled, looked at me and Su Rou like idiots, and didn't explain.
