Early in the morning, Zhong Kui stood in the mountain breeze and looked far away, staring at the prototype of the boat-shaped village in his sight. The Menlin Village surrounded by morning fog gave him an unobstructed view, giving him a hazy and strange feeling, as if the night was complete. A mission quietly retreats, and the white fish belly that appears on the eastern horizon will surely arrive at that time. Even if the sun has a shy moment, it will sweep into the dark corners of Menling Village with thousands of rays of rays of light.

Xiao Ming stayed by his master's side silently. He didn't know why his master suddenly came to Yaxing and came to this forgotten and feared corner of Menling Village early in the morning.

The light haze slowly dissipated with the help of the wind. Zhong Kui turned around and stared at the east. The fish belly white in the distance gradually released the unique morning light. Exaggerated by the dawn, the surrounding clouds turned into light pink, as if people were drinking. I drank a little wine and my face turned red.

The pale pink clouds gradually became brighter and thicker. Under the clear-cut clouds, countless soft rays of light were reflected. The rays of light gradually became firmer and weaker. Finally, Zhong Kui and the others felt a melting sensation on their backs. of warmth.

At the moment when Zhong Kui turned sideways and stared at the rising sun, Xiao Ming beside him suddenly shouted: "Master, look..." He turned around quickly and looked in the direction of Xiao Ming's finger to see the boat shape naturally formed in the village. In the center, in a huge circular black circle, there is a shadow that looks like a humanoid moving slowly.

"What is this?" Xiao Ming was surprised.

"Shh, don't make a sound,"

Zhong Kui closed his eyes in the wind, letting the wind blow his clothes and trembled. He concentrated and carefully held his breath, settling all the noise from around him. He felt it quietly and listened carefully... The spirits of all things were whispering, and the wind brought them. New information... Suddenly, a burst of wailing sounds invaded my ears. The wailing sounds came from the boat-shaped village, Menling Village. These wailing sounds turned out to be the ghosts in the village who had been unable to rest for a long time. Why could they not rest in peace?

Just as he continued to feel and listen attentively, an extremely cold wind came overwhelmingly, making his whole body tighten and shudder. At the same time, Xiao Ming, who was standing next to Zhong Kui, was also deeply touched. , when the cold wind hit, he only felt that his skin hurt as if it was being scratched by a sharp blade.

"No," Zhong Kui was horrified. He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, and he looked at the creepy and powerful evil energy coming towards him. Under his gaze, the power of the evil energy suddenly decreased. Under the attention of his gaze, It changed into a gentle breeze and drifted away carelessly. When I looked carefully at the boat-shaped village, the unusual shadow had long since disappeared.

Yes, Zhong Kui seems to understand why people who enter Menling Village are threatened by bad luck. That is, these ghosts who cannot rest in peace are controlled by an invisible and intangible evil force.

If you want to free the villagers controlled by evil forces, you must find the source of their control. The black circle. What is the human figure in the black circle? Zhong Kui remained silent and walked in front with heavy steps. Xiao Ming rubbed The sound of powerful jogging sounded from behind again. He was very curious, but afraid of the master's mood at the moment.

The two of them returned to Zhong Kui's temple one after another. There was already a person waiting at the door. When they took a closer look, it turned out to be Diao Juan.

Yesterday, when Zhong Kui came back, he went to find her, wanting to tell her about his brother and asking her to take back his ashes so that he could return to his roots and rest in peace.

Before Zhong Kui and Xiao Ming could speak.

Diao Juan looked at them with a sad face and said with tears in her eyes: "My mother has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and her time is running out. Mr. Zhong, can you see my brother?"

Zhong Kui nodded heavily and said: "You are a strong woman and will not be easily defeated by the coldness and ruthlessness of reality..."

At first hearing what the other party said was wrong, Diao Juan seemed to feel something. Tears could not be held back, rolling down her face like pearls. Her tearful eyes flashed with perseverance and she stared at Zhong Kui and said: "It's okay, Zhong Kui." Sir, it’s okay to just say it,”

"Your brother took drugs and owed huge debts. When his drug addiction broke out, he went to provoke the evil forces and was severely beaten. Unwilling to be humiliated, he brutally killed the leader of the evil forces in revenge. In order to escape, he also returned to Qingshui Town, but he He did not return to the county seat, but lurked there for a while. He returned to City A again, became addicted to drugs, and committed suicide under a broken bridge. "Zhong Kui knew that it was not good to lie, but in the face of such a kind and good woman, he had no choice but to No need to lie to ease her grief.

Diao Juan's expression darkened, and she said word by word: "This is all his own fault,... wu wu..." She finally broke out and wailed, her miserable cry angering the two grown men. She was also in tears, and for a moment, she seemed a little at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her.

Zhong Kui looked at Xiao Ming and motioned for him to comfort Diao Juan.

Xiao Ming had a look of embarrassment on his face, hesitantly looked at Diao Juan whose shoulder blades were twitching, took a few steps slowly, and said, "My condolences, take care."

"My mother wants to see her brother for the last time, what should I do, what should I do," Diao Juan sobbed and kept repeating.

Xiao Ming looked back at Zhong Kui, wanting him to say something.

Zhong Kui looked at Xiao Ming and Diao Juan, and said, "Does your mother know about Xiao Ming? Or maybe he can comfort her by going there?"

"No, Master, I can't do it," Xiao Ming declined.

Diao Juan raised her red and swollen eyes and said: "I also begged him, but he didn't go. I kept lying to my mother, saying that after my father woke up, he couldn't move easily, so he couldn't go to the hospital to see her."

When Zhong Kui heard what Diao Juan said, his face darkened and he said: "Xiao Ming, this is your fault. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Although your appearance cannot bring the dead back to life, at least it can bring Diao Juan's life back to life." Mom can go away feeling more at ease, which can be regarded as a good deed and a great achievement."

"This...I...Master, you know, I'm stupid and can't say anything. I know that I'm not Diao Juan's father, but you want me to face her dying mother, I..."

"Go, go right away," Zhong Kui said angrily: "You still meditate and learn Zen methods. You don't even understand this. Aren't you wasting your time in vain?"

Xiao Ming was so ashamed that he lowered his head and muttered: "Okay, go, let's go now,"

Diao Juan thanked Zhong Kuishi profusely and told him that after a hundred years from her mother, she would take her brother's ashes back and bury them together on the hillside behind their home.

The five little ghosts happily welcomed Zhong Kui into the temple. They were naturally very attentive, but he couldn't be happy at all. The shadow of Menling Village was like a big mountain, which made him a little breathless.
