Chapter 36: Mandolins
Sou......
The gray rabbit retreated and shrank sharply, and then its body shot at me like a cannonball.
I turned sideways, and the gray rabbit flew past my neck, and if it was the slightest deviation, its teeth would bite my neck.
"Damn, you're ruthless enough, in that case, don't blame me for being rude. "I clutched my grip on the dust and prepared to meet the gray rabbit's attack head-on.
Sou......
The gray rabbit attacked again, and I waved the Buddha dust and hit it right at the head, but the gray rabbit hit it squarely, and the gray rabbit pounced on the tombstone.
The gray rabbit actually covered his head with both hands and stroked it gently.
I didn't have time to think about it, and I was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the gray rabbit ran away when he saw this, and I chased after him.
Back and forth, the gray rabbit ran to a large grave, desperately waved his forelimbs to dig the soil on the grave, and in the blink of an eye, he dug a hole tens of centimeters deep.
"You little rabbit, you want to run, but you don't have a door. I reached out and grabbed the gray rabbit's hind legs and pulled it out with all my might.
Seeing that it had been pulled halfway out of its body, it suddenly turned around and bit the back of my hand.
In an instant, a piercing pain spread throughout my body, and I had to let go of the gray rabbit's hind legs, and watched it burrow into the grave.
I was half-lying on the grave bag, looking at the back of my hand bitten by the gray rabbit by the help of the corpse oil lamp, and I saw that several tooth holes were constantly bubbling with blood, and there were some signs of blackening around them.
I took off my coat, tore it into strips of cloth, and tied my wrists firmly.
"If I knew that a rabbit would be killed on the way, I should have taken the black dog that Xu was half blind, and it wouldn't be ...... if it was there" I endured the severe pain and got up, but at this moment I saw a small flower next to the grave.
It's actually black, the kind that is all black, but the surprising thing is that although it is black overall, it has a faint sheen, and if you don't look closely, it's easy to overlook.
It seems that the bite of the gray rabbit just now was not in vain, otherwise it would have been impossible to find the mandala for a while.
I glanced at my phone, it was a quarter past five, and if I delayed for a few more minutes, the rooster would have crowed.
I hurriedly plucked the mandala, put it in the wooden box prepared in advance, and walked in the direction of Xu's half-blind courtyard with my legs raised.
The corpse oil lamp was already dying, and the flames were so small that only mung beans remained.
I put the Buddha dust in my butt pocket, protected the corpse oil lamp in one hand, and the box containing the mandalin in the other, and hurried back.
But just after walking a few steps, a red curtain appeared in front of him, which seemed to exude a faint fragrance.
"Fuck it, what's going on today?
As a result, I saw the woman in red in the back seat of the motorcycle, her red and bright clothes were like an endless veil, blocking my way.
I reached for it, hoping to find a way out, but I stumbled upon a horrified scene: the woman's cracked head hung down on her neck, and from time to time something fell to the ground, apparently bloody.
I was so sick that I wanted to avoid the woman in red, but my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and I couldn't move.
Suddenly, the woman in red rolled her eyes to look at me, and then she danced her stiff limbs and began to dance, her dancing posture reminded me of the shadow just now, yes, it should be her, the black shadow dancing behind me, because her head was hanging down, so whether viewed from the front or from the back, the top of her neck was bare, giving people the illusion of headlessness.
I took a deep breath, picked up the Buddha dust in my trouser pocket and beat it in front of my eyes, only to hear a crackling, the red curtain was torn open a few holes, and I rushed over with my legs.
The red curtain lingers around my neck, a little silky and cool at the same time.
I stopped thinking and walked faster and faster, and in a few seconds, the red curtain disappeared in front of me.
After a bumpy ride, I finally came to the outside of Xu's half-blind courtyard.
At the moment when I opened the courtyard door, I heard the crowing of a rooster in my ears.
Burst~
The oil lamp of the corpse was also extinguished.
I squatted on the ground, wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead, and shouted, "Xu is half-blind, I got the mandala, where are you?"
Creak......
The door opened, and Xu appeared in front of me half-blind.
"The mandala is inside, see if it's right?" I took out the wooden box and handed it to Xu Banblind, who took it listlessly, opened the lid, and nodded at the flowers inside.
Xu half-blindly held the mandala flower, muttering and walking into the room, his steps were a little sluggish, as if he was too old to move his legs.
I was suspicious, I just left for a long time, why Xu is half blind and looks like he is dozens of years old, has there been a strange thing in the ghosts, stay in the sky for a day, and spend a year elsewhere?
That's not right, I didn't go to heaven at all, I just went to the mass grave and went around.
I walked into Xu's half-blind room with questions, and this time he didn't turn on the light, but took advantage of a glimmer of light in the sky to find a beautiful porcelain bowl from the cabinet next to him.
The porcelain bowl is not big, but the shape is elegant, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the center of the bowl is depicted with alum red with a swastika pattern, and the wall of the bowl is a blue and white bucket color depicted with eight trigrams.
The first impression I had of this porcelain bowl was that it was an old object, and I wanted to pick it up and take a closer look, especially at the bottom of the bowl.
"Don't move!" Xu Ban saw me reach out and touch the bowl, and scolded loudly.
"Master Xu, I really didn't see it, you still have such a good object, it belongs to the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, right?" I retracted my hand, but my eyes were fixed on the porcelain bowl.
Xu Banblind did not reply, but held the mandala in the palm of his hand, pinched it into a ball vigorously, and then threw it in the bowl, picked up the wine jug and poured wine into it.
I stood quietly, not daring to take a breath, it seemed that Xu Banblind wanted me to drink the wine soaked in mandal flowers.
At this time, Sun Bald's instructions resurfaced in my mind: I must not drink a sip of water and eat a grain of rice at Xu Banblind's house.
"Drink it. Xu Banblind pushed the wine bowl soaked in mandala flowers to me, and said weakly.
"I ......" I muttered as I stared at a bowl of black wine.
Now I'm struggling with whether or not to drink this bowl of wine. If I drink it, will my yang life really be extended? If I don't drink it, then why did I give up half my life to find a mandala just now?
"Master Xu, what is this mandal flower?" I asked, staring at the wine bowl.
Xu Banblind said coldly: "Baby, who saved your life, drink it." ”
I couldn't excuse myself, so I picked up the bowl and stared at the mandala inside, only to feel a fishy smell.
At this point, I finally chose to believe that Xu was blind, after all, Sun Bald strongly recommended it, because he had some ability, and if he took 10,000 steps back, even if I didn't drink this bowl of wine, I would inevitably die.
So instead of waiting to die, it's better to give it a go and dry the mandala soaked wine first.
Knock Knock Knock......
I swallowed a bowl of mandalas to the fishy smell, but I didn't expect them to melt in my mouth, slipping down my throat and into my stomach, and then producing a strong heat wave in my abdomen, like a fire burning my internal organs.
The heat spread to my limbs and finally swept through my body, and I felt like I was being pushed into a furnace, and my skin felt like it was about to crack.
"Master Xu, is there a fire on my body?" I shouted to Xu Ban.
Xu Banblind sneered, sat opposite and looked at me quietly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was elusive.
I don't know how long it took, but the abdominal pain was not as strong as it was at the beginning, and it was replaced by dizziness and bloating.
"Master Xu, my head is about to crack......" I slapped my head with both hands, but Xu Ban Blind ignored it, glanced at me, got up and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
Still no response, I turned to a loud roar, and the sound of Xu's half-blind footsteps became smaller and smaller.
Suddenly, from outside the courtyard came the sound of talking, both men and women, and from time to time there was a terrible laugh.
I endured my headache and walked out the door, secretly regretting that I had drunk the bowl of wine.
Although I was only a few meters from the door, when I moved over, I used up almost all my strength.
I leaned on the doorframe and looked into the courtyard, only to see an amazing scene.
