Exorcism

The study room was a mess. The teenagers were lying on the floor with books on their pillows. Some were half asleep and some were chatting casually. Only Fangfang was holding a book in her hands and reading intently.

"The Forbidden Secret Department is really scary. Even if you kill me, I won't be Zuo Liuying's disciple." Shen Hao turned over and moved the pile of books under his head to make himself lie down more comfortably.

The teenagers who didn't sleep all agreed. As for the madman yesterday, everyone became more and more afraid after thinking about it. Now they have no good impression of the forbidden secret department at all. Only Xiaoqiu has a different view. He is also lying on the bed. On the floor, he was flipping through a book casually, not even realizing it was overturned. "It's actually not that scary. Don't you think we are... very special?"

"What do you mean? Apart from the disappearance of the town, what is special about us?" Shen Hao asked.

Xiao Qiu sat up and threw the book in his hand on the ground, waking up his dazed friends. "We have fought against the demon species. Not only were we okay, but we also developed Dao roots. Grandmaster Pangshan said, this This situation has never happened before, so we are very special. Even if we enter the Forbidden Secret Department, we will not go crazy, and we will become the most powerful Pangshan Master in the future, able to kill demons with just a finger. "

Shen Hao giggled a few times, looking forward to the prospects described by Xiao Qiu. Since Yelin Town disappeared, without the support of his parents, Shen Hao's determination has also been depleted. He rarely quarrels with Xiao Qiu anymore, "Xiao Qiu" Brother is right, we are all special. Maybe someone will become the leader in the future. I heard that the leader can live for hundreds of years. "

"Then I don't want to enter the forbidden secret department." Daliang Shen Xiuming lowered his voice, as if what he was about to say was a big secret, "I have inquired with Taoist Zhang. In our Pangshan Taoist tradition, the safest way to practice is Although the progress of entering the Discipline Department is a little slower, the risk of becoming a demon is extremely low. Even if you don't succeed in practicing Taoism in the future, the future of the Discipline Department is relatively good. Taoist Zhang is from the Discipline Department, and the entire building is under his control. ”

"I would rather enter the Mirror Department." Mu Feihuang, a fool, wiped the saliva from his mouth. He just woke up and immediately joined the conversation, "There is a book that says that the Mirror Department specializes in making all kinds of precious mirrors. In addition to supplying disciples, , you can also buy it for takeout, did you know that the most common treasure mirror can be sold for thousands of taels in the city?"

Daliang Shen Xiuming suddenly became interested and put the Discipline Department behind him, "Which book said this?"

"You can't even recognize all the words in "Jianzhao Tonglu" and you can't understand it.

Having said that, Daliang Shen Xiuming still looked around in books and asked, "Brother Xiaoqiu, what about you? Do you like the Forbidden Secrets Department?"

Xiaoqiu stood up, picked up the straw hat and put it on her head, "I'm not afraid of entering the Forbidden Secrets Department, but I will definitely enter the Five Elements Department. I want to be a mage who slays demons and seizes Yelin Town from the demon species. Come back, if...if everyone in the town...then take revenge for them!"

"Me too!" Erliang Shen Xiuwei jumped up and stood beside Xiaoqiu.

As soon as Yelin Town was mentioned, the friends were inspired, and they all ran to stand next to Xiaoqiu, holding their heads high together, as if Grandmaster Pangshan was standing opposite him.

Fangfang chuckled by the window, "You are thinking too early. We must first go to Yangshen Peak to practice. We must reach the state of inhalation before we can learn Taoism by subject. It will take five to ten years for ordinary people, and by that time It is also the masters of each discipline who choose their apprentices, not the disciples who choose a certain discipline.”

"So long? We will all be adults by then." Shen Hao said in surprise. In the eyes of a young man, five years is a very long time.

"Brother Xiaoqiu and Fangfang will be able to get married in five years." Erliang Shen Xiuwei added, making his partner laugh. Fangfang blushed, and Xiaoqiu pushed him hard.

"Fangfang,

What are you reading? They don’t even teach us how to read. "Shen Hao asked.

""Nine Truths and One Hundred Treatises on the Jade Pure Way of Wisdom for Eliminating Demons", the forbidden secret disciple looked at it a few times when he held it yesterday, so..."

"Such a long name?" Daliang Shen Xiuming only noticed this.

"Do you also read the books that crazy people like?" Shen Hao was worried for her.

Fangfang nodded and was watched by a group of teenagers. She was a little embarrassed and covered her mouth with a book to speak, "There are many records about demon species in this book. Yelin Town is actually not the first town to disappear."

All the teenagers gathered around. Fangfang was slightly flustered. She lowered her head and turned the book forward a few pages, "Look, it says that the demon species were sealed in the void of the beginning. They have always wanted to create a passage to return to the world, so every once in a while After a period of time, a small group of demons were sent out to squeeze into the mortal world in every possible way, looking for a suitable place and trying to open a large enough gap. However, the place chosen by them would often disappear with all the people and belongings. So far, this kind of thing has happened There were at least a hundred cases.”

"Isn't there the Nine Dao Tong and Long Binhui? How could a demon be allowed to do such a thing?" Shen Hao was a little angry, because he felt that the disappearance of Yelin Town had a greater impact on him than on others, so he was more Qualified to accuse certain people of being unfavorable in protection.

"It's not mentioned here. There may be records in other books. I'll look for it again."

Throughout the morning, the demon species was a topic of endless debate among the teenagers. It was not until Zhang Lingsheng announced something at lunch that they changed their minds, "Starting tomorrow, you all have to get up early to learn Bone Forging Fist with me."

"Can we start practicing?" Xiaoqiu's eyes suddenly lit up. He was already tired of the life in the library. He had nothing to do every day and had to learn to write.

"How can it be so early? The bone-forging fist is to prepare for practicing Taoism." Seeing that the young people were not particularly understanding, Zhang Lingsheng cleared his throat and said in a solemn tone: "Taoism is like the water of a river, and a Taoist priest's body is like a container. , the water is there, inexhaustible, and how much it can hold depends on the size of the container, so you must practice your body before practicing Taoism."

After saying this, the teenagers understood a little bit.

The teenagers didn't think much about it at all. Xiaoqiu even suggested starting to learn boxing right away. Zhang Lingsheng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, everything will follow the rules. No one should sleep in late tomorrow morning. Let's go eat now."

The food in the library is provided by the village, three times a day, delivered on time by three old women. It contains less meat and more vegetables. Xiaoqiu and the Shen brothers think it tastes very good. They eat like a storm every time, but Shen Hao eats at the same time. While recalling the big fish and meat in the past at home.

The dining room is located in the front yard. It is the largest room in the library. It can hold twenty square tables, enough to seat more than a hundred diners. Currently, there are only nine children from Yelin Town. They do not want to separate and are crowded together. table to eat,

Today's lunch meal was a little different. Each of the nine bowls of white rice had a large piece of oily fish on it. Usually, they had only seen a small amount of meat in the vegetables.

"What day is this?" Shen Hao looked at the piece of fish. In the past, he would have complained that it was too boring, but now he wanted to swallow it in one bite. Just when he was hesitating, Erliang Shen Xiuwei had already bitten off more than half of it. , chewing happily.

Zhang Lingsheng never ate with the teenagers, and rarely entered the dining room, so the teenagers could only ask the three old women who delivered the meals.

The two old women were silent, and a short, fat old woman said with a smile: "I got two fish yesterday to replenish your body. You are still a child, so you should eat more good things."

The teenagers all expressed their gratitude, but no one paid much attention to it. Erliang Shen Xiu only ate up the fish in his bowl in two or two bites. He felt that the rice and vegetables were bland. He looked at his brother's bowl, and Daliang Shen Xiuming hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it. He had no choice but to find another target, and his eyes finally fell on the Fangfang bowl.

"Fangfang, don't you like fish?"

Fangfang didn't touch the fish in her bowl. She had looked up at Xiaoqiu several times, but she never got a response. Xiaoqiu just buried her head in eating, and then said: "Fangfang, you have to watch out, Erliang, no, Shen Xiuwei can swallow your bowl in one gulp."

The friends all laughed. Fangfang pushed the bowl towards Shen Xiuwei and said, "Here it is." She covered her mouth with her left hand. This has almost become her habit, and she will never let anyone see that she is missing two teeth. Erliang Shen Xiuwei quickly stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the fish and took a bite before saying thank you.

The teenagers ate quickly, and the two old women packed up the dishes and left. The short, fat old woman did not leave. She stood at the door with a smile on her face. Like all the villagers, she was full of respect for the Pangshan disciples, but she was too much. There was an expression of hesitation in speaking.

"Old lady, are you okay?" Fangfang was the first to notice the old woman's abnormality and walked over to ask.

"No, it's okay. Is the fish I cooked delicious?"

Fangfang didn't take a bite, and Erliang Shen Xiuwei said loudly: "It's delicious, I can eat a whole one."

The teenagers walked out one after another. .kansh.cThe short and fat old woman seemed a little anxious, wringing her hands, but did not dare to speak. Xiaoqiu also noticed it, so she stopped her friends and said to her: "Old lady, do you have anything?" Just say it, we can’t eat your fish in vain.”

The old woman kept bowing and thanking her, and after a while she said, "If you like it, I will cook it later. I have no other intention, I just want to invite you to my house."

"Why are you so embarrassed? Just bring the delicious food." The second good friend, Shen Xiuwei, didn't understand what the old woman meant and thought she was inviting everyone to dinner. Xiaoqiu pushed him away, "Old lady, do you need our help with any heavy work at home?"

There were tears in the corners of the old woman's eyes, but she still had a smile on her face, "There is no heavy work, it's my son Mei Chuan'an. After talking to you yesterday, he was very happy and always told me that he had met someone of the same mind, so I hope you can Take the time to take a look at him, just take a look."

The teenagers were silent. Ever since they knew that Mei Chuanan was crazy due to being possessed by a demon, they all wanted to hide away. Even the gluttonous Erliang Shen Xiuwei was unwilling to take risks.

The old woman begged: "Just once, my son... my son won't live long."

"I'll go." Xiaoqiu felt that she had to say these two words, but the other teenagers breathed a sigh of relief. Erliang Shen Weixiu also wanted to speak, but his brother stopped him.

The old woman thanked her profusely, but Xiaoqiu felt embarrassed and said, "I'll go tomorrow evening. Where is your home?"

"The third house on the left at the south end of the village, I will wait for you at the gate. You don't need to eat, I will prepare delicious food for you..." The old woman then left, turning back and smiling at Xiaoqiu every few steps.
