Chapter 3: The Death of Ah Ku
Far away from the city of H, where the wind is clear, the branches are dry, the thatch, the tiles are brokenβthis is not a prison, but a mountain village that is quieter and more desolate than a prison.
"Ah Ku, wait for me in the city! I'll definitely be able to come to the city to find you this year! β
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy with a slightly immature face, but the two thick eyebrows on his face revealed a resolute look.
His name is Lin Zheng, and he is the younger brother of Ah Kuqing's siblings, and he has lived with Ah Ku in this small mountain village for more than ten years.
"It must be based on the One, divided into heaven and earth, turned into yin and yang, changed into the four times and all things, and created in the One."
The sky is shining, but the sun is not hurting, and it shines on Lin Zheng's body warmly.
Lin Zheng sat cross-legged on the boulder, meditating on the mental method in his heart, and comprehending the key to Taiyi Xuangong. He sat calmly cross-legged, exhaling and inhaling methodically, and his body and mind were one with nature.
After a long time, Lin Zheng opened his eyes, sat on the big rock of the mountain peak, held a piece of grass in his mouth, and silently looked at the sky in the distance.
He was extremely bored and held a yellow talisman in his hand, only to see him throw the yellow talisman in his hand towards the sky, and the yellow talisman paper actually came up out of thin air. Luckily, there are no people in the mountains, so if you see it, you will be stunned.
"Eh, I can refine the talismans required by Abba, but why Taiyi Xuangong still can't be learned, and I don't know how Ah Ku is mixing in the city."
The sun is setting in the west and slowly setting. It was getting dark, and Lin was jumping off the boulder. He carried a wild boar under the boulder on his shoulder and walked slowly down the mountain.
He returned to the small mountain village and quietly walked inside.
A middle-aged man in the room sat on a wicker chair with his eyes closed, his sideburns and hair slightly gray, and his beard crawled all over his face, but the pair of thick eyebrows vaguely made people see the majesty of the year.
That was Lin Zheng's father, Lin Yuantian.
Lin Zheng put aside the wild boar on his shoulder and said to his father Lin Yuantian: "Abba, I will definitely be able to learn Taiyi Xuangong this year!" You said before, as long as I learn Taiyi Xuangong, let me go to the city to find Ah Ku. β
"I'll talk about it when you get started!" Lin Yuantian scoffed at Lin Zheng's words and did not hold out hope. He has studied Taiyi Xuangong for twenty years, and he has not yet started.
Lin Zheng didn't know where the confidence came from, so he ran to the mountains every day and practiced desperately.
Seeing his son's diligent attitude, Lin Yuantian was quite pleased. He secretly decided that if Lin Zheng still couldn't learn Taiyi Xuangong this year, he would let him leave the mountain village and go to the city next year to live an ordinary life with Ah Ku.
Lin Zheng got up early every day and was greedy for darkness, while learning the Maoshan mantra taught by Lin Yuantian, refining talismans, and going up the mountain to hunt, sitting on the boulder to practice Taiyi Xuangong.
And so the days passed. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
Summer is starting to arrive, and the days are getting longer. Lin Zheng got up earlier, walked up the mountain with light steps, and sat cross-legged on the boulder to cultivate.
Over time, year after year. Lin Zheng felt that the true qi in his body was getting stronger and stronger, spreading all over his body. His strength also grew, and his body grew stronger.
On this day, Lin Zheng was sitting cross-legged on the boulder to cultivate, and suddenly his right eyelid kept beating.
"The left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster." A feeling of uneasiness lingered in Lin Zheng's heart.
Lin Zheng was restless and unable to cultivate quietly. At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and the caller ID was bitter.
"Ah Ku called? Did something bad happen to him? β
Lin Zheng was a little worried and picked up the phone.
"Hey, are you Lin Ku's younger brother?" A middle-aged man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, not Ah Ku.
"Well, I'm Lin Ku's younger brother." Lin Zheng's heart beat faster, and he was a little flustered.
"I'm very sorry, we found Lin Ku's body this morning, he is dead."
"Ah Ku is dead!"
It was like a thunderbolt hitting Lin Zheng on a sunny day, and his mind went blank in an instant. The sky is spinning, and the earth is shaking.
Lin Zheng stood on the boulder, and only felt that the whole world had collapsed. It was as if someone had cut a hole in his lungs, and it was hard to breathe.
"Hello? Are you listening? Feed? β
There was an urgent inquiry on the other end of the line.
Lin Zheng kept shaking his head and inhaling heavily, trying to calm himself down.
"I'm listening."
"We only found your mobile phone number from Lin Ku's mobile phone, can you see if you can come to the funeral home in H City?"
"Is Ah Ku really dead? You're not lying to me! β
Lin Zheng couldn't accept the fact of Ah Ku's death, and looked forward to the other party's answer.
"Lin Ku is really dead, and we are investigating the cause of death, but it seems that he was killed by a ghost."
"Is it really dead, is Ah Ku really dead" Lin Zheng's teeth were shaking up and down, and his brows were tightly locked. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly, and his face was distorted.
The hand holding the mobile phone hung down weakly, and his mouth kept chanting: "Is Ah Ku dead?"
"Ahh Lin Zheng was grief-stricken, and looked up to the sky with a long sigh, which resounded through the valley.
The heart is like a reservoir with a floodgate, and resentment pours out like a river. Unintentionally, Taiyi Xuangong actually got started! The true qi in the body was scurrying around along the meridians of the whole body, raging violently.
Ah Ku's death deeply stimulated Lin Zheng, and he looked up to the sky and sighed as if he was crazy. Taiyi Xuangong happened to get started, and his true qi detonated his body.
Lin Zheng felt that his body was manic and full of strength. An urge to vent could not be resisted, and he jumped off the boulder and waved his fist in the mountains and forests. In front of the towering trees, large rocks are slammed. Regardless of breaking the skin and bleeding hands, he ran wildly in the mountains and forests like a demon.
The big trees in the mountains and forests kept falling, and the birds and beasts woke up.
Lin Zheng was like a mad tiger, his red eyes were bloodshot, and he was frantically chasing the beasts in the mountains and forests.
On this day, the beasts in the mountains and forests poured eight lifetimes of blood mold. There were animal corpses lying on the ground, and Lin Zheng was covered in blood, his legs were on his knees, and there were two lines of tear stains on his face.
It was like a whole day of madness, and it was already dark by this time.
Lin Zheng also came to his senses at this moment, his eyes were dilated, he stood up numbly, and walked towards the village at the foot of the mountain.
When the human soul is at its lowest level of despair, ghosts will invade.
When Lin Zheng walked to the cemetery at the foot of the mountain, this cemetery was the only way for Lin Zheng and Ah Ku to go up the mountain to hunt before. Several old ghosts in the cemetery opened their mouths one after another and inhaled at him, and gusts of yin wind blew instantly.
The cold yin wind blew Lin Zheng a spirit, turned his head to look at the cemetery, and saw three rickety, hideous-looking old ghosts!
Lin Zheng, who was already in an extremely unhappy mood, saw the three old ghosts inhaling at him at this moment, so he vented all the anger in his heart on them.
took out a piece of yellow rune paper from his arms, rushed straight to the cemetery, and threw the yellow rune paper at the three old ghosts.
The yellow rune paper turned into an arc and flew to the side of the three old ghosts, burning up in an instant.
"Ahh
The flames were shining and splashed on them. The three old ghosts screamed and turned into a puff of white smoke and hid in the tomb.
Seeing the three old ghosts running away, Lin Zheng gritted his teeth, stared at the grave with dead eyes, and said viciously: "You old ghosts, if you still want to harm people, I will definitely do the right thing for heaven and beat you to pieces!" β
The three old ghosts hid in the grave like turtles with shrunken heads, silent.
"Humph!" Lin Zheng snorted coldly and slowly walked towards the village.
There really are ghosts in this world! Seeing the three old ghosts in the cemetery, Lin Zheng believed in the fact that Ah Ku was killed by ghosts.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, and his father Lin Yuantian sat on the rattan chair and opened his eyes, looking at Lin Zheng's appearance in surprise.
"Lin Zheng, what's going on?"
"Abba, Ah, he was killed by a ghost!"
Seeing his father, Lin Zheng's tears couldn't help but fall again.
"Ah Ku is dead? Or was he killed by a ghost? β
Lin Yuantian's eyes widened, obviously he was also hit.
Lying on the wicker chair with a frown, his face was very ugly, and he muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that Ah Ku was not sent by them"
"Alas!" Lin Yuantian let out a long sigh and blamed himself deeply.
Sixteen years ago, Ah Ku was sent to a small mountain village by a man in black. Lin Yuantian always thought that Ah Ku was sent by those people to investigate him. If you teach some Maoshan skills to Ah Ku, Ah Ku will definitely not be killed by ghosts!
has been getting along for more than ten years, and I have already had feelings for Ah Ku. Hearing the news of his death, Lin Yuantian was also saddened in his heart.
"Ah Ku was killed by a ghost, I want to find the murderer to avenge him!"
Lin Zheng's eyes burst into flames, and his face was full of determination. Find out the murderer and avenge Ah Ku! This is the obsession in Lin Zheng's heart at this time.
