"You ......" The old gentleman was like a devil in her eyes at this time, the wrinkles on her face trembled with her atmosphere, and her voice sobbed: "Why are you so obsessed! I have lived to be more than eighty years old, this life is enough, you want me to live, I can grit my teeth and eat these corpse-smelling things to support you, but why do you want to deprive others of their lives? How old is this child, and the pain of our child's death Do you want his parents to try it once?! When did you become so selfish?!"

"Don't say it. The old man let the old lady vent his anger, and he dragged a jar out from under the bed.

The old gentleman put the jar aside, lifted the quilt, and a foul smell suddenly came out.

The old lady's body was indeed as Zhou Tong said, the exposed ankle to knee part ulcerated so much that it was almost impossible to see, especially in this weather, the heat and humidity were even worse.

The old man dragged the quilt covering the old lady to the ground and spread it, adjusted the lower position, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Tong, and then hugged the old lady from the bed and put it on the quilt.

He glanced at Zhou Tong, there was no superfluous affection in his eyes, as if Zhou Tong was just a dead man, and the old man said: "The process of dying will not be easy, you should be mentally prepared." ”

After speaking, without looking at Zhou Tong any more, he walked to the jar and fished out a Gu worm from the jar with his bare hands.

The Gu worm's body was black and shiny, its carapace was hard, but its mouthparts were bright red, and its eyes were buried under the carapace, glowing a faint blue.

This one named "Ghost Gu" is stored in the corpse, does not eat carrion, only lives by sucking the yin qi on the corpse, and the brighter the carapace, the healthier it is.

The fact that this ghost Gu could have such a spiritual appearance proved that the old man had been carefully cultivating.

The old man pinched the Ghost Gu, and the Ghost Gu lingered in the old man's hand like a pet, without any resistance, it was obediently held by the old man and placed on Zhou Tong's forehead.

The ghost Gu mouthparts trembled, making a slight chirping sound, prostrate on Zhou Tong's forehead, and kept absorbing with the mouthparts, the old man looked at the ghost Gu expectantly, who knows, the ghost Gu's movements suddenly stopped, and kept climbing on Zhou Tong's head, up and down, like a hunter who had lost his target, full of confusion.

"What's going on?" the old man was stunned, carefully watching the Ghost Gu's movements, and whispered, "How can you not find the soul?" Could it be...... Fake?"

"Well, it's fake. Zhou Tong's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the old gentleman looked back in shock, his eyes widened, "You, you...... How is that possible?"

"Stand-ins aren't unique to dark witches. Zhou Tong smiled, and when the old gentleman heard this, he looked back and saw that it was actually a paper man who was pressed under the cobweb!

As soon as Zhou Tong's body disappeared, the ghost Gu suddenly lost its target, fell to the ground all of a sudden, and then ran around in a daze as if frightened.

Zhou Tong said: "If you just want to use corpses to support people, the corpses in that cemetery are enough." But you just want to manipulate the tongue to kill people, Yue Hengyu's physique is special, I guessed that you might want to do something else with his corpse, so I left a hand. ”

When the old man heard this, he knew that the conspiracy had been revealed, but he must not let the ghost Gu fall into the hands of others, he hurriedly rushed over to snatch the ghost Gu back, who would have expected that the ghost Gu actually floated in the air, trembling.

"What's going on?"

Ling Yuan's appearance was revealed, his lower body was not yet in reality, his upper body was exposed, holding the ghost Gu in his hand, obviously wanting to take it for himself, and that expression didn't need to speak Zhou Tong to understand what Ling Yuan was going to say - I want this thing.

The Ghost Gu that had absorbed countless Yin Qi was indeed a great supplement, and it grew so fat...... No wonder Ling Yuan was moved, but the thought of Ling Yuan wanting to eat this thing...... Zhou Tong felt that he was a little unacceptable as a normal human being......

The ghost Gu fell into Ling Yuan's hands, the old man panicked, he glared at Ling Yuan and shouted vigilantly, "What are you?"

Ling Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to the old man, retracted his appearance and retracted back to Zhou Tong's side, the poor ghost Gu came out and wandered around and didn't eat anything and was caught by others, pitifully hanging in the air by the air, unable to go up or down.

The old man is basically exhausted now, raising Gu requires energy, it is not easy to raise such two Gu worms with his energy, Zhou Tong estimates that he can't take out other more powerful Gu worms.

He walked up to the old lady, looked at the old lady's withered and emaciated body, and said, "I'll take you to the hospital." ”

"No need. The old lady looked at the old man with tears in her eyes and said, "I'm going to die soon, do you still want to fiddle with these Gu worms?"

The word "death" touched the old man, and he shook his body, and suddenly rushed to the only dilapidated cabinet in the room, opened the door, and moved out an urn.

Zhou Tong watched the old man's movements coldly and did not stop it.

The old man walked to the old lady with the urn in his arms, and fished out a few Gu worms, these Gu worms were obviously not tamed, and when they were caught in the hands of the old man, they all rushed to eat the old man's palm, in just a few steps, the old man's palm had been bitten into a bloody blur, and the wound was gushing out of the dark green poisonous water, and even Gu worms crawled into his clothes along his arm.

The old man didn't care about it, grabbed the Gu worms and said to the old lady: "There are no flowers, there are no flowers, these Gu can continue your life, you have to live, you have to live well......"

Zhou Tong only made a move at this time, he stopped the old man's movements, and said to him: "It's useless, these Gu will make her suffer great pain when they are placed on her, her spirit can't stand it anymore, you are undoubtedly forcing her to death like this." ”

The old man didn't speak, he glared at Zhou Tong: "Get out." ”

Zhou Tong didn't let him, he stopped in front of the old man, the old man couldn't move Zhou Tong, suddenly shouted, and threw those Gu on the ground like crazy, and then ran to the shelf, and poured out all those Gu worms at all, and the Gu worms crawled everywhere all over the ground, only no Gu worms dared to crawl over in the place around Zhou Tong and the old lady.

"Why! Why do people have to die!" the old man shouted hysterically, staring at Zhou Tong gloomily, "It's all you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have failed!"

He suddenly screamed, and the Gu worm that crawled into his clothes bit his blood vessels, and before he knew it, a Gu worm crawled all the way down the blood vessels, and there were even other Gu worms, which directly bit his flesh and flesh and burrowed into his internal organs.

The old man rolled on the ground like crazy, screaming in pain.

Zhou Tong covered the old lady's sight, but the old lady grabbed Zhou Tong's hand, tears overflowed, and begged: "You, can you save him......"

Zhou Tong sighed and said, "He is cocooned and bound himself, I can't save him, at most I can protect his whole body." ”

The old lady looked at Zhou Tong pleadingly, and Zhou Tong had no choice but to throw out a talisman and disperse those Gu worms, but those Gu worms that penetrated deep into the old man's body could not be removed.

The old man rolled on the ground for a long time before he stopped struggling, and he didn't react for a long time, staring at a pair of eyes and dying miserably.

Zhou Tong took the old man's blood, led all the Gu worms together, and burned the five thunder talismans.

He went back to the old lady and pressed the pulse on the old woman's neck, which was beating very slowly, and her life was coming to an end.

The old lady hugged the old man's body and said, "Now that we are going to die together, you don't have to be afraid of being alone." She looked at Zhou Tong with tears in her eyes and said, "There is a secret passage behind the cabinet, I don't know what he raised, you are a good boy, destroy it together." ”

Zhou Tong nodded, and found a secret door in the cabinet, he opened the door and walked in, inside was a damp passage that led to an unknown place.

Zhou Tong lit a fire talisman to light the way ahead, and walked down the mossy steps step by step.

Under the steps is a bucket room, the place is not big, but it is a little larger than the area of the thatched house, there is an oil lamp hanging on the wall, Zhou Tong lit a fire, and the bucket room was lit up.

Unexpectedly, there was something dirty in it, and there were pictures on all four walls.

The old man was a very handsome young man when he was young, and the photos of participating in activities in Xiangxi, the photos of getting together with friends, and the photos of the old lady later, wedding photos, and family photos with children, from the photos of his teenagers to the walls that are now covered all over the wall.

It's just that these photos are all crossed by him with a big red pen.

He denied his life.

There was a table in the center of the fighter, and there were several books stacked on top of the table, and Zhou Tong took it and saw that all of them were secretaries about Gu making and resurrection, and some of the books he had never even heard of. Zhou Tong flipped through it, and carefully took notes and experiences in the book.

There were still a few pieces of paper on the table, Zhou Tong picked them up and looked at them, they were all lists, including daily expenses, and some things used to make Gu.

On the bottom piece of white paper is a string of phone numbers.

Zhou Tong checked on his mobile phone that the place of belonging was out of town, and it was far away in the north, in City C.

What does this person do when he contacts a foreign number so far away?

Zhou Tong was a little puzzled, he walked back after seeing it in the bucket room and making sure that it was correct.

When he opened the cabinet door, Ling Yuan said, "Don't. ”

Zhou Tong's footsteps stopped, he was in a relationship with Ling Yuan, and he could clearly feel Ling Yuan's nervousness: "Is there someone outside?"

"Hmm. Ling Yuan said vigilantly, "Be careful. ”

The cabinet door was hidden, Zhou Tong looked through the gap, and only saw the tall back of a man, he was talking on the phone with his back to Zhou Tong, the voice was not loud or small, Zhou Tong could just hear clearly.

"Feng Xin is dead, leaving behind a corpse, you go and see his pottery puppet - cracked? Okay, confirm the death. ”

When he hung up the phone, he threw everything in his hand on the old bed, and a pile of muddy rotting flesh fell out, along with a few covered boxes, from which there was a small sound like worms and ants wriggling.

The man lit his cigarette and smoked it, and said to the old lady, "It seems that his secret technique has also failed, and you will not live long." ”

The old lady held the old man's body silently, as if she had not heard the man.

He didn't say much, walked past the old lady, and when he went out sideways, Zhou Tong saw his side face.

The side face of "Chen En......" was hooked to the name in his memory, and Zhou Tong looked at Chen En's back as he walked out of the hut with some surprise.

"He looked for me for a long time. Ling Yuan said, "For at least five years, that person has not been angry. ”

While the two were talking, Chen En set a fire outside, and the fire was raging, fueled by evil winds, and the thatched house was crumbling.

"Oops. Zhou Tong said, he glanced at the old lady, the old lady closed her eyes at this moment, her soul fluttered above her body, obviously dead.

The fire spread to the corpses of the two people, and in the midst of the fire, the burning smell of the corpses immediately penetrated into Zhou Tong's nasal cavity, and the choking smell overflowed, and Zhou Tong was pondering whether to take out the thatched house at the risk of being exposed, or retreat into the basement and find a way to block the fire outside.

Obviously, the former one is a little more reliable, such a big fire, even if it can't burn in the basement, it will make the underground like a steamer because of the high temperature, and he has no plans to be steamed for the time being.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tong was about to go out, but was stopped by Ling Yuan: "Wait a minute." ”

"What?" asked Zhou Tong.

"You don't have to go out, this is mortal fire, and it can't hurt you. ”

Zhou Tong was still puzzled, but he listened to Ling Yuan's words and didn't move.

The fire swallowed over, swallowing Zhou Tong's entire person into the sea of fire, but those flames were blocked by the invisible wall on Zhou Tong's body, which did not hurt Zhou Tong at all, and even the high temperature generated by the flames did not show on Zhou Tong's body.

Zhou Tong understood.

It was the sarong that the goddess gave him.

The thatched house collapsed in the flames, and Zhou Tong walked out of the flames unharmed.

The fire burned everything, including the flowers where the corpses were buried, but it couldn't burn the corpses under the dirt, because of the surge of Gu worms, some corpses were lifted out from under the dirt, revealing stumps and broken legs.

And the one who started the matter was burned to the ground, and his soul was about to be detained by Impermanence for doing too much evil, and went to the ghost underworld to atone for his sins.

***

Back in City A, as soon as he entered the store, Zhou Tong received a courier, he looked at the sender's address, it was the Nandao Han family, it was estimated that it was something sent by Han Qiqing.

Thinking of Chen En, Zhou Tong didn't care about this courier, turned on the computer, and checked the information about Chen En.

There is very little information on the Internet, it is completely superficial, and he checked the information of Chen En's boss Zhao Jingshan, which will be more, but most of them are his achievements in the mall and some interviews and speeches and other programs.

With the information of their little people, it is too difficult to check a person, Zhou Tong thought about it and called Duanzheng.

There are many people in the family, and there are many ways, so it is perfect to find him to check these things.

As soon as the phone was connected, it was very noisy, and Zhou Tong asked, "What's the matter?"

"yes-" replied in a low voice, "What's wrong, Xiaotong?"

"I'm looking for your help. ”

"Oh, not now. "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, our old man won't let us do anything else." ”

"Right, what are you doing? Don't you dare to call after you've finished drinking?"

"I know, I know-" shouted in a straight voice, and then said to Zhou Tong, "I'll call you later." Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I'll send you mooncakes when I get back in a while!"

"Okay, happy Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

After Zhou Tong hung up the phone, his expression was a little dazed, and he realized that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"The golden phoenix is cool, the jade dew is cool, the osmanthus is fragrant, and the silver toad is full of light...... As for the home of the shop, they also climbed the small platform to arrange family banquets and gather children to reward the festival. Zhou Tong whispered the sentences in Wu Zimu's "Dream Lianglu", a little stunned.

He said to Ling Yuan: "When I was a child, my father attached the most importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival, more than his birthday. He said that people in his line of work often work with their heads on their waists, and they may die one day, and they can spend a day with their families. Zhou Tong smiled when he was a child, and said with longing, "He will buy moon cakes filled with bean paste, be lazy and not cook dinner, sit on the steps in front of the store with me on his back and watch the moon, and allow me to drink a little osmanthus wine......"

"Said it was a little osmanthus wine, but in fact only let me drink a little bit of chopsticks, I was not in good health at that time, I couldn't blow the evening breeze, only the Mid-Autumn Festival night can stay outside until sleep, the moon is really round. ”

The phone rang, it was Han Qiqing calling, Zhou Tong answered the phone, Han Qiqing said: "I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"Did you get the email?"

"Huh?" Zhou Tong remembered the email sent and said, "I received it, I haven't opened it yet, and I've been a little busy lately." ”

"Pay attention to your body. Han Qiqing said, "Inside is our Han family's homemade moon cakes and osmanthus wine." After a pause, Han Qiqing said embarrassedly, "The wine is my mother's, and the taste may be a little bad." ”

"What a gift. Zhou Tong smiled and said, "I'll take it apart right away." ”

The two chatted casually and hung up the phone.

Zhou Tong opened the package, and carefully divided two small packages inside, one side was five moon cakes, and the other side was a small bottle of wine, Zhou Tong pulled the stopper, and immediately smelled the rich aroma of wine, he took a sip and said, "It's so fragrant, do you want to taste it too?"

Ling Yuan didn't respond.

Zhou Tong ignored him, opened the door of the store, moved a stool and sat at the door, carrying a small pot of osmanthus wine in his hand, eating a mouthful of egg yolk mooncakes and drinking a sip of osmanthus wine.

Tianyan Zhentanmu flew over, landed beside Zhou Tong, and carefully rubbed it on Zhou Tong's leg, Zhou Tong spread out a piece of paper and put it on the ground, and said, "Sit." ”

Tianyan Zhentanmu obediently lay on the paper and admired the moon with Zhou Tong.

…… What about Ling Yuan?

Zhou Tong still has Ling Yuan's memories, and he is a little lost.

Looking at the full moon, he remembered a lot of things about his father, and his memory of Zhou Da had never been so clear, and it seemed that when it came to this kind of festival, all those episodes about family affection became sensitive.

Zhou Tong drank a small half pot of wine, his consciousness was still very clear, he sat on the chair, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and was about to continue drinking, when the cold thing touched his hand.

Zhou Tong turned his head and saw Ling Yuanyan's expression, and an extremely handsome face appeared in front of him vaguely, with long hair pizza, only a hairpin was used, some naughty hair was scattered on both temples, and a man in a widely embroidered robe sat next to him and said to him: "Enough is enough." ”

"Okay. Zhou Tong let go of his hand in compromise and let Ling Yuan take away the remaining half pot of wine, Ling Yuan wanted to pour Han Qiqing's wine on the spot, but as soon as he saw Zhou Tong's bright eyes, he stopped throwing it, and put the wine bottle stopper on the side with dissatisfaction.

Zhou Tong leaned against the door frame, squinted a pair of dark and heavy eyes, looked at Ling Yuan with a smile, and read: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles......"

Ling Yuan: "......"

Ling Yuan turned his head away, not daring to look at Zhou Tong's eyes, he looked up at the moon and said in a deep voice, "You drank too much." ”

Zhou Tong was very conscious, although he didn't drink well, how could that little wine get him drunk, otherwise he would be really bad......

I didn't get drunk, but I was too tired in the past two days, and the sleepiness came up, so Zhou Tong sent a text message to Duanzheng, explained the matter and climbed into bed.

At night, the cold wind was blowing, the sky was moonlight, and there was no shadow of dark clouds at all.

Zhou Tong soon fell into a dream.

And this dream seems to be a little different.

The fire tree and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.

Fireworks are all over the sky, but they are pitifully small, completely different from modern fireworks.

The bluestone path was crowded with people, girls in skirts carried lanterns through the crowd, and children cheered and burrowed under their skirts, attracting a scream.

And he was standing at the head of the bridge in a white robe, his long hair pulled up and buttoned in a delicate and small crown.

Zhou Tongzheng was stunned, caught off guard by someone, he looked back, and someone said to him: "Sorry, it's abrupt." ”

"No, it's okay......" Zhou Tong glared at the man, knowing that this was a dream, but this dream was really too realistic......

"What a daze. A familiar voice sounded, Zhou Tong followed the sound and saw Ling Yuan, dressed in a gorgeous costume, walking towards him.

Ling Yuan's facial features are extremely clear, clearer than all the times before, the facial features are three-dimensional and handsome, the eyebrows and eyes are like sketches with a pen, the lips are like dots, and the end is a gentleman like jade, and Sven is beautiful.

Zhou Tong asked, "Why are you different from the last time you showed the entity......

Ling Yuan stared at Zhou Tong for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly blinked, as if he had returned to his soul, he turned his head and said indifferently, "There are so many things." ”

Zhou Tong: "......"

Ling Yuan flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked on Zhou Tong: "Go." ”

Zhou Tong smiled and followed Ling Yuan.

"This is the Mid-Autumn Festival of your time. Zhou Tong looked around curiously and asked.

Ling Yuan nodded, "Hmm", "There are a lot of people, don't lose them." ”

The two of them passed by a small stall, and the stall owner smiled and asked, "Guest, come and have some small cakes?

Ling Yuan glanced at Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong said, "Let's pack two." ”

"Hey!" the stall owner wrapped the cake and handed it to Zhou Tong, Ling Yuan paid the money, and saw Zhou Tong hand over the cake and asked himself, "Do you want to eat?"

Ling Yuan: "......" Ling Yuan looked at the cake silently for a while, and couldn't say what he wanted to say without eating, and finally came out with a very light "um" in a sullen voice.

Zhou Tong gave a small cake to Ling Yuan, and the two handsome boys walked side by side on the street, attracting countless onlookers. They watched the lights and the moon all the way, eating snacks, until suddenly there was a sound of "high tide" in front of them!

The crowd suddenly became crowded, Zhou Tong was still holding a few pastries in his hands, and he was squeezed by the crowd so that he could barely stand on his feet, and he was hit by someone behind him, Zhou Tong almost fell, and a pair of hands reached over to grab Zhou Tong's shoulders and delicately brought him to the side.

Ling Yuan said with disgust, "Be careful. ”

"Hmm. Zhou Tong smiled and said, "The pastries are delicious." ”

Ling Yuan: "...... Foodie. ”

Zhou Tong asked, "What's wrong with the front? ”

"Tide watching. Ling Yuan said coldly, he glanced at Zhou Tong's bright eyes, and suddenly took Zhou Tong's hand and flew him into the air.

When that cold hand held himself, the real touch made Zhou Tong stunned, and the next moment, his body was lightly carried up, and Ling Yuan flew all the way to the front with him, landing on the roof not far from the tide viewing point.

Zhou Tong sat on the bricks and tiles, looking at the surging tide in the distance.

The tide rolls and the waves are surging.

The moon hung high in the sky, shining on the earth.

Zhou Tong smiled and broke the last piece of pastry in his hand and handed it to Ling Yuan: "Divide half of you." ”

Ling Yuan took the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, Zhou Tong saw that he had eaten it, and he smiled and ate his piece.

At this moment, fireworks burst into flames, blowing up the night sky one by one.

Zhou Tong's eyebrows were curved, his dark eyes were filled with moonlight, and he said softly: "Thank you for accompanying me for the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Ling Yuan: "......"

Ling Yuan said coldly, "Oh. ”
