Chapter 2: New Era, New Beginning
Under the gloomy sky, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and hidden thunder exploded in the dark clouds, emitting a low roar.
An old man wearing an apricot yellow robe, holding a peachwood sword, pointed to a vermilion coffin in front of him, and said to a young man whose pupils radiated red and blue light: "This is the coffin of a thousand-year-old demon corpse, I have tried to lead the heavenly thunder, but I can't even split the coffin made of wood." ”
The young man touched his chin and squatted down to observe the coffin carefully, "Master Mao, your Maoshan spell may indeed have a miraculous effect against ordinary zombies, but this demon corpse that has been thousands of years old, I'm afraid if you want to refine it, it is far from enough." ”
Master Mao turned around and waved his hand at the people behind him, asking them all to come over, and then said to the young people around him: "Xiao Jie, you and Lin Yuerou's yin and yang qi haven't been cultivated yet, so if you make a rash move, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky." ”
Xiao Jie raised his worries, "But if you don't make a move now, it will open up and jump out by itself when the time comes, endangering the people in the world, and we may not be his opponents." Now find a way to open the coffin first, and my reincarnation eye may be able to fix him. ”
Lin Yuerou said on the side: "Don't take this risk, Master said before his death, this demon corpse is not an ordinary corpse, it has been completely demonized, invulnerable, invulnerable, invulnerable, infinitely powerful, it should be the legendary drought." ”
"Carry the coffin, forcibly seal it first, let's discuss it slowly, it's not a matter to keep it here, in case the group of people from the Demon God Temple come again, just a few of us, I'm afraid it will let them take advantage of the loophole." ”
Master Mao agreed with Xiao Jie's point of view, and a group of Taoist priests behind him pinched the spirit talismans, one by one, and pasted them on the vermilion coffin.
"From. ”
Lin Yuerou looked at the coffin that was slowly lifted by everyone, and clapped her hands excitedly, "Great, I can lift it." ”
Master Mao shook his head solemnly, "This is not necessarily a good thing, being able to lift it means that the demon corpse has begun to isolate the earth's qi, which is a precursor to awakening." ”
Xiao Jie looked at the coffin in the distance and said to Lin Yuerou: "It seems that I have to find my second master Shuhai, maybe there is some way." ”
My head was in chaos, who am I? Where am I? It was pitch black in front of me, and I didn't feel anything in the darkness, except that I couldn't move my limbs, and my body didn't feel any pain at all. Quiet, I seem to be about to fall into an eternal slumber.
I don't know how long later, I heard someone outside talking, "That's right, this is it, I saw a large group of Taoist monks carrying the coffin into this hole." ”
"Nine deaths, one life! I didn't expect there to be so many mechanisms in this cave, and I almost broke it here. Finally, let's find the main burial chamber, and when this ticket is finished, I will have to rest for two days. ”
It didn't sound like people talking to us there, but I heard another person say: "Kuroko, prepare things, the runes on this coffin are so weird, it seems that the main owner inside is not simple." ”
Someone agreed, and then there was a sound of the stone slab moving over my head, "What a strange formation, it seems that this one is not small." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, let's open the museum quickly! there must be a shocking treasure inside, just with those few Horcruxes outside, the contents of this coffin are enough for several of us here for several lifetimes. ”
It turns out that I was put in a coffin, who did it?
After the stone coffin outside the coffin was removed, I felt that my hands could move, but I could only move my fingers slightly, and it was still pitch black in front of me. After a long time, no one spoke, and I don't know what the people outside are doing?
After a long time, the first person to speak said again: "This is actually a big red coffin, and it seems that there is a great murderer inside." Why don't we put the slate back on!?"
There was silence again, and if I hadn't been able to move, I would have wanted to go out on my own.
One of the old voices said, "The candle is still on, which means it's okay, don't forget, we didn't come here for money." ”
"Yes, yes, if the treasures poured out of those big tombs outside for money, it would be enough for several generations of us. ”
"We must get our hands on it today, or we'll all die. ”
After a while, the old voice just now said, "The third child is right, things must be in hand." ”
It turns out that I was put in a coffin, who did it?
After the slate was removed, I felt that my hands could move, but only slightly, and it was still pitch black in front of me. After a long time, no one spoke, and I don't know what the people outside are doing?
After a long time, the first person to speak said, "Why don't we put the slate back on!?"
There was silence again, and if I hadn't been able to move, I would have wanted to go out on my own.
"The candle is still on, which means it's okay, and don't forget, we're not here for money. "Yes, yes, if it's for the money, it's enough for us for generations. "We must get our hands on it today, or we'll all die." ”
After a while, an old voice said, "The third child is right, things must be in hand." ”
Finally a few people began to push the coffin board in front of me. When the board opened, I saw a blinding light, and I was able to move my hands and feet.
I sat up at once, and looked at the five people in front of me who had panicked, their costumes and hairstyles that I had never seen before, and each holding a glowing cylinder and black iron in their hands.
Then one of them handed me something, and I sniffed it, and ate it in my stomach, "It's unpalatable, is it a cow's hoof tendon?" Three of the five fell to the ground, and the other two trembled, "He actually spoke." ”
The old man took out a bronze seal and put it on my forehead, and looking at the strength, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength and wanted to smash my head.
Of course I couldn't shoot him, I reached out and grabbed the old man's wrist, and threw it out, and the old man fell to the ground in an instant, and the dust was flying.
Da-da-da-da
The iron in one of the men's hands was blazing, and something like a stone hit me, and I scratched the place where he had hit, and it was strangely itchy.
I stood up, "Who are you, where am I, what are you in your hand?" and I said, holding the coffin with one hand, and jumped out at once, looked around, and then looked at the people in front of me.
"Wow", scared one to death on the spot.
One of them stood up, pointed at me, and asked sharply, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
I heard him say this, touched his body, except that there was no temperature, it didn't seem to be anything unusual, "It should be human, right?" As soon as I finished speaking, a yellow talisman was attached to my forehead, and the other party had words in his mouth, I reached out and removed the charm and looked at it, "I said that I am a human, is this thing of yours also useful to people?"
"I'm sending you a good thing. The other man took out a tin can from his bag, pulled off a ring, and handed it to me, and then the remaining three people turned around and ran.
When I looked down curiously at the jar in my hand, I thought to myself, what is this for? It blew up, and it blew my hand black, and I guess my face was not much better.
Now I was not happy, and I walked out angrily. Walking out of a passageway, there was a bright light not far away, and I walked slowly over. The light came from the sun, and I finally saw the light again.
But when I was exposed to the sun, my body began to smell white, and the smell was particularly bad, and the clothes on my body also turned to ashes in an instant. What's even more terrifying is that a layer of skin on the body has also slowly fallen off, and the skin that has fallen off is black and bright, and the current skin is abnormally white, without a trace of blood. Soon the black skin all over my body was gone, and I patted my chest, it was very textured, but it felt weird to be naked.
I turned back to the burial chamber and took off the clothes of the grave robber who had been scared to death. It's very difficult to take off, and after pondering for a long time, I found the mechanism on the clothes, and as soon as I pulled the clothes, it opened, and I put the clothes on myself. It's a little small, but it's a bit fine.
I crawled out of the place where the five people came, and the breeze was blowing, and I couldn't say how comfortable it was. The sun was scorching, but I didn't feel any heat. Looking at the lush mountain forests and listening to the calls of kingfishers and chiri, it should be summer. I walked for a while and saw a green tent, so I walked towards it.
There are some iron boxes in the tent, and a small pot, I don't know what material the packaging is. I wasn't hungry, but I wanted to eat something. I grabbed something that I looked like I could use, and headed down the hill.
As soon as I came down the mountain, I came across a village. It's not big, maybe there are only about 100 households, and it is noon, and there is no one on the street. There were words written on the walls that I couldn't read, and some of them had a painting painted on the wall, and the people in it were like real people, and I stood in front of the painting and looked at it for a while.
Someone patted me on the shoulder, and when I turned around, it was a middle-aged man, carrying a dung basket, and asked me with a mouthful of big yellow teeth, "Which village are you from? Why are you coming to our village?"
"Third uncle, let go. It was a little girl's voice.
The little girl was wearing a floral shirt, blue pants, cloth shoes, and two long braids, jet black. (Don't ask me why I know about shirts, I don't really know how to live from thousands of years ago.) )
Big Yellow Fang glanced at the little girl and continued to look at me, "Nizi, don't worry about it, he's here to steal the treasure of our village, I can't let him take it." The little girl pulled away Big Yellow Fang's hand and bowed to me, "I'm sorry, my uncle has a brain problem, scares you, right?" Seeing that I didn't react, she glanced at her third uncle, "Look at you, I have to come out if I don't let you come out." I looked at the little girl and Big Yellow Tooth in front of me and rubbed my head, "Who am I, why am I here?" Big Yellow Fang jumped to his feet and pointed at me and said, "Look at Nizi, he has a problem with his brain." The little girl came up to me and asked me with an anxious face, "Is it okay to you?"
I shook my head, and the little girl continued: "My grandfather is the most famous Chinese medicine doctor here, I'll take you home and let my grandfather take a look, okay?"
I followed the little girl home, and as soon as I entered the door, I heard an old man say, "If you don't come back for dinner at noon, where are you going to go crazy?" ”
The little girl walked up to the old man, "Grandpa, he's not a thief, he's amnesiac." The old man sighed and walked up to me, "Do you remember anything now?" I thought hard, "I can't remember anything, my mind is in chaos." The old man took out a handful of silver needles and stabbed them at my temple, I subconsciously grabbed the old man's wrist, and the old man's face immediately sweated.
The little girl rushed over and grabbed my hand, "What are you doing? I immediately let go, and the little girl said, "My grandfather is going to use acupuncture to treat you." "I groaned. The little girl asked the old man, "Grandpa, are you alright?" The old man shook his head and motioned for me to sit down first.
I found a chair, and the old man pricked me with a needle again, but I didn't move. The old man sighed, "It's strange, why can't you get in?" and changed it again, but it didn't work, and changed it again. Finally, I removed a syringe, but it still didn't work.
The old man shouted to the inner room, "Old woman, lend me your awl." An old lady came out with a basket, "Why do you still use this to treat people?" The old man reached out and took the awl and stabbed me, as if it were on marble, without a trace. The old man's face was solemn, "Where did the distinguished guests come from?" I pointed outside, "Coming down from that mountain" The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, but he quickly returned to normal.
At this time, the little girl shouted, "The meal is ready, let's eat first!"
I got up and went to the table, and it was a bowl of jajangmyeon. The old man kept staring at me while eating, and I finished one bowl disapprovingly, and asked for another bowl.
When I couldn't count the first bowls, the little girl said, "There is no noodles at home." Big Yellow Tooth laughed, pointed at me and said, "It's a rice bucket." The old man was furious, "Don't talk nonsense." Big Yellow Fang immediately stopped talking.
The old man smiled and asked me, "Can you see your ID card?" I looked at the little girl curiously, "What is an ID card?" The little girl took out a card from her pocket, "This is it, everyone has it." ”
I rummaged through the pockets on my body, found a small bag, opened it and saw that it was all paper, red, green, purple, and there were several small cards inserted next to it, I looked at it, there was a similar one, and took it out, "Is this it?" The old man took the ID card from my hand, "Zhang Tianyu, are you from L City?" After speaking, he shook his head again, no, the person on this ID card doesn't look like you? I didn't answer his words. He gave me back his ID card, "How did you get here?"
"Walked over. ”
"Is there any gasping in the house?" someone shouted outside. The old man slapped the table, and asked the old woman to take the big yellow tooth and the little girl back to the back room.
The people outside walked in directly, I looked at seven or eight, and the leader of the yellow hair sat directly next to me, looking at the old man, "Today is the fifth day, I was busy yesterday, should this account be cleared?" The old man took out a cloth bag from inside his clothes and put it in front of Huang Mao, Huang Mao opened the cloth bag and threw it directly in the old man's face, "Old thing, what about sending it to Hanako? Believe it or not, I demolished the house for you?" The old man squatted down to pick it up, but a person next to him directly kicked the cloth bag away, and a few pieces of paper from my small bag flew out of it.
Huang Mao pulled out a knife from the waistband of his trousers, stuck it on the table, tilted his head to look at the old man, "Do you think I am farting when I speak?" The old man's face turned blue and he did not speak. Huang Mao waved his hands, "Smash me." ”
"Wait. I shouted. Huang Mao looked at me, "I didn't notice just now, there is another person here, what do you want?" I took out the small bag and took out all the red paper inside, "Do you want this thing?" Huang Mao's eyes straightened, "Big brother, thank you." After speaking, I reached out and was about to take it, so I grabbed Huang Mao's hand, "It's okay to take it, don't trouble this family in the future." Huang Mao kept nodding, "No problem, no problem, big brother, whatever you say is what you say." I let go of Huang Mao's hand, and Huang Mao put the red paper in his pocket, looked at me, and led the person away.
The old man squatted on the ground and picked up the paper, "I'll pay you back the money." It turned out that the paper was called money, "I don't have to pay it back, just make up for me at your house these days." The old man was stunned, "That's more than 30,000 yuan, and it's enough to buy my house." I groaned, "Then stay a few more days." ”
In the evening, a very magical scene happened, the room became very bright, I looked at the glowing beads on the roof, "What kind of treasure is this?" This is nothing, there is actually a group of people singing in a square box, "How did you put these little people in?" The old man thought that I had too much amnesia, and the little girl taught me little by little. Tell me this is a TV, that is an electric light, and there are a lot of novelties, but they don't have them at home.
I said, "Thank you." The little girl shook her head, "It's us who should say thank you, you have helped my family so much, our family should thank you." ”
In the evening, the old woman cleaned up a room for me and brought me a new set of sheets and covers. But I didn't sleep at all, and I don't know if it was because I was excited by watching TV, or if I didn't have the habit of sleeping in the first place.
The next day was still full of energy.
The little girl told me that her name was Su Xin, and that her mother had given her name. I just finished the college entrance examination, helping the family do some housework and help my grandfather pick some herbs.
Before I knew it, a week later, Su Xin's admission letter came, and along with the letter, there was another man, Su Xin's father.
When the old man saw him, his eyebrows were twisted together, "Rebel, you still have the face to come back." Su Xin's father smiled, "Old man, don't be so angry, you have to point to me in the future, can you count on that fool?" The old man snorted, "What are you doing when you come back? I don't have any money." Su Xin's father glanced at me, "There are guests at home?" After speaking, he looked at the old man again, "I came back this time to take my girl to the city to earn a lot of money." ”
Su Xin shook her head, "I'm not going, I'm going to college." Su Xin's father's face drooped suddenly, "I didn't discuss it with you, hurry up and pack up my things, I've discussed it over there, if you fight for some energy, at least 10,000 a month." ”
The old man picked up the teacup next to him and threw it to the ground, "Get out, get out of here." Big Yellow Fang directly picked up his dung basket and smashed it, kicking his eldest brother out.
The old man slapped the table angrily, Su Xin hurriedly went over and patted the old man on the back, "Grandpa, don't be angry, it's not worth it for that kind of person." Looking at the admission letter that was wet with tea, the old man was in trouble again, "What can I do with this tuition?" Su Xin also looked at the notice in a daze, "Or don't read it." ”
"Smack" The old man slapped Su Xin directly, "What are you talking about? Grandpa will let you go to college if he smashes the pot and sells iron." ”
On that day, the old man went out to borrow from house to house, but there were not many people in this village, and there were not many fields, and the younger ones all went out to work. I looked at the old man and sighed, and there was nothing I could do to help.
The next day, Su Xin happily ran home and told his grandfather that the problem of tuition fees had been solved. The old man was stunned for a moment, "How did you solve it?" Su Xin said, "The teacher told me that you can apply for a student loan." The old man looked at me, "What is a student loan?" Su Xin said happily: "It's just that the tuition fee is owed first, and the tuition fee is paid back slowly after graduation." ”
Seeing that the day of leaving school was getting closer and closer, Su Xin said to me: "Brother Tianyu, the place where I study is the place where you have your ID card, do you want to go with me? I nodded, "Go ahead, then, maybe you can think of something." "His grandfather was very happy and told us to take care of each other.
The night before the report, I lay in bed, trying to remember what had happened, but I couldn't remember anything.
At this moment, my door creaked open, and I ignored it. A dark shadow climbed onto my bed, and when she came to me, I realized that it was Su Xin, "Brother Tianyu, are you asleep?"
I looked at the beams and ignored her.
Su Xin moved towards me, and continued in a whisper close to my ear: "Brother Tianyu, do you know? ”
I started crying as I spoke, but I still didn't move with my eyes open. Su Xin's cold little hand held my big hand, "Brother Tianyu, don't you like me?"
