The four of us looked at each other for a long time, then they said in unison: "Why are you two in the same hospital room?"

  Yi Xinxing knew that the two bosses didn't get along, and he didn't dare offend his own boss, so he stammered: "Uh... Lin Shu... actually..."

  "I don't know him at all." I hastily said to Uncle Wen, then glanced at Yi Xinxing, hoping this 'genius' could understand my meaning.

  Fortunately, Yi Xin Xing was not stupid either, he understood what I meant and kept nodding at Uncle Lin.

  Only Wen Shu and Lin Shu hummed in unison, then walked towards us. They sat on our beds separately, not looking at each other. The atmosphere became awkward once again.

  I said to Uncle Wen: "Uncle Wen, I'm sorry to trouble you to come see me. Don't worry, I'll be discharged from the hospital in two days."

  Wen Shu put the fruit basket he brought under my bed and said to me: "What's going on with you? I just heard you say that someone robbed you and even beat you up? Don't worry, take good care of your illness and come back to work when you're better. By the way, did you report it to the police?"

  I thought to myself, how dare I report it? My injury is not serious, it's just making a big deal out of nothing. To put it bluntly, it's my own fault. I forced a smile and nodded to Uncle Wen, "I reported it, but I didn't get a good look at them, so it's hard to find them."

  The old man Lin beside me was chatting with Yixinxing, after hearing what I said, he snorted and said to Yixinxing: "Fortunately you weren't robbed, huh, being thin and weak means going out less at night, got it?"

  I thought this old man was obviously making a sarcastic remark, implying that my master's apprentice looked like a steamed bun and would be bullied by anyone. As soon as I heard it, I became unhappy and thought to myself, "You have a grudge against Master Wen, why drag me into it?"

  Wen Shu listened and became even more displeased, he hummed and said to me: "Alas, this world is indeed treacherous, but you're okay, at least you didn't let them break your leg. Good, good."

  I thought it was going to be bad, these two old guys are at it again. They're arguing with each other and I'm stuck in the middle with Yixing, feeling like a sandwich. What's the point of this? Dammit!

  Lin Shu listened and then continued to say to Yi Xinxing, "Well, your leg is also considered a glorious injury. If I'm not mistaken, you must have been injured while saving someone, right?" He said this while winking at Yi Xinxing, clearly wanting him to go along with it.

  But Yixinxing just now could understand my eyes, but didn't understand Lin Shu's eyes. He said stiffly: "Uncle Lin, I was going downstairs and wasn't paying attention, so I fell."

  “··································”

  The atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.

  After a while, Mr. Lin suddenly turned around and asked me what my name was. I replied to him: "My name is Cui Zuofei."

  Mr. Wen didn't know what the old man was up to, so he asked Yi Xinxing's name too. After asking my name, Mr. Lin said to Yi Xinxing: "I say, now I understand that a master is just like his apprentice."

  Wen Shu didn't understand what he meant, so he turned around and asked Lin Shu: "What does this mean?"

  Lin Shu looked at Wen Shu with disdain and smiled, saying: "It doesn't make sense, whatever the master is like, the apprentice will be too. What I said isn't wrong, a useless master teaches out useless apprentices."

  Wen Shu listened and immediately became furious, scolding: "You're good! Taking a disciple is called 'Easy Tendon Classic'?! Are you from Shaolin Temple?!"

  The two of them were already holding back a fire, and now they started exchanging insults, with one saying "old X" and the other saying "scum", completely ignoring my two patients.

  Heavens, it's chaotic enough already, why are these two old troublemakers coming to add fuel to the fire? I glanced at Yi Xingxing and found that he was also looking at me. We looked at each other and sighed with wry smiles.

  It's okay, the noise they made finally attracted a nurse. The nurse glared at them with her almond-shaped eyes, and seeing that continuing to quarrel was meaningless, they said goodbye to us and left after flinging their hands.

  The ward finally returned to quiet, and before long, it was time for dinner. Fortunately, the hospital provided dinner, and the food was not bad - braised fish with soy sauce, stir-fried three silk, cumin chicken nuggets, and a bowl of bone soup.

  But I don't eat chicken, so I gave the chicken soup to Yixinxing. Seeing him devour it, I suddenly remembered my buddy's yellow chicken. Oh no, I hope I didn't leave it in Jiangbei! You know I swore to protect it from harm. Now it's probably frozen chicken meat.

  So I asked Yi Xinxing, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, if he saw a yellow chicken last night.

  Yi Xinxing listened to my question and suddenly said: "I've seen it, last night when you were unconscious, you said something about me taking that chicken, so I put it in your backpack. It's under your bed."

  What? In the bag? That's suffocating, I hurriedly got out of bed, took out the bag from under the bed and opened it. Thankfully, it didn't die, just hadn't eaten for a day and was a bit dizzy.

  I quickly picked up the unfinished small bowl of rice to feed it, and after pecking at some grains, its spirit lifted a bit. Seeing that it was fine, I felt relieved, and from the bottom of my heart, I began to thank Yixinxing - this kind of person is truly worth getting close to.

  Because I didn't dare let the hospital discover that there was a live chicken in the ward, after feeding it, I stuffed the bag under the bed. In order to let it breathe, I didn't zip up the whole zipper.

  After a while, the nurse came to take away the bowl and chopsticks. I sat back on the bed. Suddenly, I thought that if I didn't show some gratitude to Yi Xinxing, it would be hard to justify, so I said to him: "Yi Ge, when I'm better, I'll treat you to a meal, and we can have a good drink then."

  Yi Xinxing is picking his teeth, smiling at me and saying: "Well, it can be said that we two are really fated to be together, and also have a bond of shared hardships. We should drink some more."

  After a few more hours, the ward lights went out. Lao Yi was exhausted and last night's Qimen formation had consumed a lot of his physical strength. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep with snores.

  I lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and my mind was still full of thoughts about that night's fox.

  Actually, people can be quite cheap sometimes, and I now deeply understand this. Although I don't want to think about those things again, although I know that those things are not something that someone like me can come up with a solution for.

  But still, I couldn't help but think of it unintentionally. As soon as I closed my eyes, the image of the mother fox desperately rushing out of the formation and the little fox's appearance when she cried out in a hoarse voice appeared in my mind.

  It seems that my ability is still too small, so pitiful. There are some things I don't have the ability to do perfectly.

  Damn it!

  I shook my head, trying to stop myself from thinking nonsense. It's all just me finding fault with myself! I glanced at my phone and saw it was already past 2 am. I quietly got up and went to the bedside in the hospital room, lit a cigarette, and slowly took a drag.

  Looking out the window at the moon, the day of the full moon is not far away. These things, let's ask Ninth Uncle when the time comes. If this experienced yin-yang master doesn't have an answer, then no one can solve this problem.

  Just as I was smoking dejectedly, the yellow chicken under the bed suddenly struggled. I was puzzled, it had been quiet for a whole day, why did it come to life at this late hour?

  But I didn't turn back because I saw an even more terrifying and eerie scene.

  All that could be seen was outside the window, on the pitch-black lawn, several people in white clothes appeared at some point, they seemed to be carrying something like a cangue, and slowly walked westward in a row.

  And beside them stood a man in white clothes with a high hat, holding something like a rope that was leading them.

  What is this????

  I immediately felt that something was off about this, were they ghosts? No way, I hadn't taken any measures yet, so why could I still see ghosts?

  Suddenly, I remembered that last night I used the 'Ding You Wen Gong Lu Fu' symbol. This symbol is different from other symbols because it is a symbol to open the Netherworld (Tian Yan). After opening the Netherworld, the effective period of this symbol depends on the power of the spell. Since I also used this symbol for the first time and didn't know how long it would last, and after meeting Yi Xin Xing, I used another one. Maybe because the effect of this symbol hasn't expired yet, that's why I can still see these things.

  But what are they after all? I'm basically used to these things now, I'm just curious, and since I'm on the third floor of the hospital ward, this perspective is very clear.

  I vaguely see that person who seems to be the leader, on his tall hat there are four big characters "Yi Jian Fa Cai". What does this mean?

  Since I started working at Wen Shu's store, I often read the books on Wen Shu's bookshelf. Because this old man likes to show off, he has collected many ancient books, including some rare copies from ordinary families. I seem to have seen something like this in that book. As I thought about it, my body suddenly shook, and I remembered - it was "Xie Bi'an"!!!

  Heibai Wuchang's 'White Impermanence'!

  Hei Bai Wu Chang is probably familiar to everyone by now, as many TV dramas have mentioned them. But what exactly are these ghosts? Let me explain it to you here.

  Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang are collectively known as the "Two Unconstants". They are gods specializing in capturing ghosts. Bai Wuchang has a smiling face, wearing a long hat with the words "Instant Wealth" on it; Hei Wuchang has a ferocious expression, with the words "Peace Under Heaven" on his hat. In modern terms, they basically belong to the civil service. Unlike Ox-Head and Horse-Face, who specialize in hooking the souls of evil people, Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang specialize in hooking the souls of good people.

  In folklore, the souls hooked away by Hei Bai Wu Chang can generally continue to be human in their next life, while those hooked away by Niu Tou Ma Mian will definitely become animals in their next life. Of course, this has not been verified in books.

  After I confirmed that the tall hat on the floor was Baigujing, I felt both excited and scared. Excited because I had seen it in "Journey to the West" since childhood, and didn't expect to see it today. Scared because this scene is simply too eerie, unlike those so-called monsters.

  It is because of these ghosts and monsters in folklore that they are the most bizarre existence.

  It seems that it is hooking souls! The legendary soul hook is actually like this, it's really eye-opening, and I'm trembling with fear.

  Looking at this rare scene in a hundred years, it would be a pity if Yi Xinxing didn't take a look. After all, our generation of white-haired masters knows too little, especially after learning from the Night Fox's mouth last night that there are still such powerful yin-yang masters in this world, I feel that we two are too weak, and don't even know some basic common sense.

  So I thought of calling Yixinxing to get up and accompany me to see a ghost, it's been a long time since we've broadened our horizons.

  So I hurriedly walked to his bed and shook his body while whispering: "Yi Ge, Yi Ge, wake up quickly! There's something good to see!"

  Yi Xinxing was sleeping soundly and was suddenly woken up by me, he seemed to be in a daze and kept asking me: "What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"

  I saw him wake up and said to him: "What's the earthquake? Let you see something good, come on, go to the window!"

  He listened to me and said in a bad mood: "What's wrong with you? With my current legs, how can I walk?"

  Right, I forgot that his leg was injured, what to do now? To know that after this village there is no such store, so I said to him: "No big deal, you can just hop on one foot and jump over. Quick! It's really a knowledgeable thing, didn't lie to you!"

  I just created a QQ group with only myself in it, which is quite embarrassing. If you have nothing to do, please join the group and chat with me for a bit. Thanks for your support!
