Chapter 277: Gain and Loss
Fan Dajian can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and he once broke into the tomb of the Yuyu people alone in Yunyang Mansion, but he has never been so frightened as he is now.
He was not afraid of the dead Huang Erxian, but the living Hu Guiyang, stretched out his hand and pointed at him, his arm kept trembling, "You, you ......"
"That's what it sounds like." Hu Guiyang's appearance was rather embarrassed, but his expression did not change, and he still had a smile on his face, "The receiver is extremely sensitive, and it is triggered after entering the stomach, but the mechanism inside it has been taken away, so it can't emit anything, only sound." But why doesn't it make a sound at night? I'm also confused, probably related to the jade pendant. ”
Fan Dajian finally came back to his senses, wiped his face, reluctantly stood up, and said with a dark face: "You guessed that this thing was in your stomach?" ”
"No, but I know that the sound in my stomach must be a foreign body, and that's what I tell you about 'unbelief'." Hu Guiyang smiled, if he believed in ghosts and gods like others, even if he had a little doubt, he would not dare to touch the corpse.
Fan Dajian took out a sweat towel and wiped it carefully, snorted for a while, and finally spoke: "But what's the matter with the corpse becoming soft?" It's also related to jade pendants? ”
Hu Guiyang looked at the red jade in his hand, "This is really a strange thing, I don't know how the guy on the Tianji ship made it." He raised his head, "The most important question is how did the receiver get into Huang Erxian's stomach?" Swallowed before you died? Or was it stuffed in? ”
"I don't know, you can ask the vegetable farmer." Fan Dajian said stupidly, a little bolder, took a few steps forward, reached out and touched the corpse, becoming more and more annoyed, "It's okay this time, the corpse is getting stiff, are you happy?" ”
"It's okay, I'm a little happy to see you so disappointed." Hu Guiyang smiled again.
"You wipe your face before you smile." Fan Dajian couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, and whispered: "There must be true immortals, but there is no shortcut, and you still have to practice a little bit." Alas, I'm afraid I don't have the talent......"
Hu Guiyang put the receiver and Jin Dan on the edge of the kang, took out the towel and wiped his hands and face, and there was no need to wipe his clothes.
"Call someone in, they can collect the body with confidence."
"Reassured? Can they be relieved to see the corpse become like this? Not being scared to death is considered bold. Fan Dajian's courage was stronger, first covered the body with a thin quilt, and then rolled it up with the mat below, only exposing his head, which looked relatively normal, "Later, I will say that I cast a spell to exorcise ghosts, and that sound is the sound of ghosts disappearing." ”
"You're right, these people probably won't accept the truth."
"Probably? I definitely can't accept it, nine times out of ten I will treat you as a monster. Fan Dajian looked at Hu Guiyang, although he had known each other for a long time, he still felt that this person was very strange.
Hu Guiyang put away the receiver and jade pendant, "Another golden pill is a great gain." Let's find a place to rest first, and go back to the city early tomorrow morning. Ah, I'm a little sleepy. ”
"There's no comfortable place for you to sleep."
"It's okay, as long as it's a room, it's better than sleeping in the mountains."
Fan Dajian snorted a few more times and waited a while before going out to call someone.
The noise just now frightened the vegetable farmers into fleeing, and they ran home to close the door, and even the coachman hid in the nearest house, and Fan Dajian knocked on the door for a long time before calling someone out.
One person came out, others naturally followed, Fan Dajian stood on the street and explained loudly to everyone, the more he talked, the more he felt, under the questioning of everyone, the details were gradually enriched, and a wonderful exorcism scene was clearly presented, attracting bursts of exclamations.
Bao Jia was also in the crowd and stepped forward to ask, "Real person, when is it more appropriate to collect the body?" ”
"I will collect the corpse at dawn, don't move anything, send it to the coffin, carry it directly to the cemetery and bury it, and then I will do another ritual to suppress it, and after seven days, the soul will return to the netherworld, and I will not come to the world to haunt me again. Let's find a place to rest first, are there any clothes for us to change? ”
Real people check in, increase blessing and longevity and keep safe, all families scramble, and finally Baojia wins, "My house is the most comfortable in the whole alley, and there is no difference between other people's homes and underground holes, go to my house, you must go to my house." ”
Soon after, Hu Guiyang lay on the kang, saying that he was "the most comfortable", but it was just a multi-layer mattress under his body, a little more cotton in the quilt on his body, and cold air was still poured into the crack of the door.
"Old Dao, do you know why I went back to the capital?" Hu Guiyang asked.
Fan Dajian was stuffing the crack of the door with rags, "Your home is in the capital, of course you want to come back, I only wonder why you came back so late, you have to wait for us to send you a letter?" ”
Fan Dajian and Yuan Mao tried every means to send a secret letter to Hu Guiyang in the mountains, claiming that the capital was safe, and the emperor had no intention of retaliating, but was grateful, so Hu Guiyang dared to return to Beijing openly.
"What other reason do you have?" Fan Dajian felt that the cold wind was a little lesser, and the kang was lying at the other end, but fortunately, the kang was warm.
"Well, because I can't stand life in the mountains."
Fan Dajian was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled, "You have suffered so much, and you can't stand life in the mountains?" How did those mountain people live? Isn't the grass also quite watery? ”
"They were born and raised in the mountains, I don't know where I was born, I lived in the mountains for a few days when I was a child, and I have been living in the capital since I was a teenager. I thought I could endure it, but a few months of wandering in the mountains made me realize that I really couldn't bear it. ”
"Why are you wandering? Find a village to live in, and it will be much more comfortable. I'm not advising you to stay in the mountains, but I mean you don't have to test yourself by sleeping in the open. ”
"If you want to survive in the mountains, you have to prepare for the worst, eating and sleeping in the open will inevitably happen sooner or later, I can't stand it now, and I can't stand it in the future."
Fan Dajian was silent for a while, "So you can't stand the suffering before you go back to the capital?" ”
"Yes, but without the letter from you and Yuan Mao, I don't dare to come back."
"Why are you telling me this? I thought you could do anything, but I learned that you also have a weakness - you can't endure hardship. ”
"So, don't believe me too much." Hu Guiyang rolled up the quilt and fell asleep sideways.
Fan Dajian was at a loss for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Strange man." ”
Early the next morning, Bao Jia led people to collect the corpse and bury it, and Fan Dajian wanted to do another ritual to calm the hearts of the people, so he got up before dawn, changed into clean clothes, called the coachman to help, and went to the cemetery with everyone.
Hu Guiyang slept until dawn, there was no one in Baojia's house, the whole alley was empty, and there was no ready-made food, Hu Guiyang changed into the clothes of a vegetable farmer, and walked around the alley with his arms in his arms, hoping that Fan Dajian would come back soon, and he would go to Puen Temple today.
At the mouth of the alley, Hu Guiyang actually saw a familiar house, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that it was the place where Shen Qianyuan placed him.
He walked over to check, the door was locked, the courtyard was covered with snow, and it seemed that no one had lived in it since he left.
Such a coincidence is a bit strange, Hu Guiyang returned to the alley, intending to wait for the vegetable farmers to come back and ask how they had come up with the idea of reporting the case to a Jinyi lieutenant.
I didn't go far into the alley, and a family next to me opened the door, and someone came out and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”
"So you are the ghost!" Hu Guiyang understood everything.
The immortals in the valley follow the valley, similar to the mountain people in the mountains, and dress the same as vegetable farmers here, but their faces are ruddy, their eyes are bright, and there is no common poor appearance.
"Can you eat hot porridge and pickles?" Gu Zhongxian smiled.
"I can eat you together." Hu Guiyang entered the house, which was no different from other vegetable farms, low and dark, except for the two bowls of hot porridge on the table, which made the whole room warm like spring.
Hu Guiyang cheered, sat down and ate, after a bowl, he served another bowl, and said to the Gu Zhongxian opposite: "I'll eat, you say." ”
Gu Zhongxian put down his chopsticks, "Huang Erxian is a strange person, I don't know when it was revealed, he didn't dare to show it to outsiders, he secretly cultivated, probably hoping to wait for himself to be stronger before walking the rivers and lakes, because he used to frequently inquire about related things." ”
"Everyone doesn't seem to want to go to the government."
"There are rumors that the imperial court uses alien alchemy to make elixirs, and everyone is naturally a little afraid."
"Go on." Hu Guiyang continued to eat porridge.
"On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month of the year ago, Huang Erxian was killed, which shows that his alien identity has been exposed."
"Didn't you find someone to kill you?"
"Of course not, I want to bring all the Inhumans together, work together, become stronger, and get rid of all the ailments from my body, which are different but all have the same origin."
"You expected me to share the golden pill with the others?"
"Only you can, don't believe it, I'll make a bet with him, and I won."
"Hey." Hu Guiyang pushed away the dishes and chopsticks, feeling that his body was a lot hot, "Let's talk about Huang Erxian, how do you know that he is a stranger?" ”
"After the change in Yunyang, I made a lot of friends, they helped me monitor the pill smokers, Zhang Wuchen was the first to find that Huang Erxian's wound was strange, and notified Shen Qianyuan, Shen Qianyuan notified me again, after coming to check, I confirmed that he was killed by another stranger, and after another day, I confirmed that Huang Erxian was also a stranger."
"Three strangers were killed, Huang Erxian was the first one, is there anything I don't know?"
Gu Zhongxian shook his head, "I only know these three. After discovering that Huang Erxian is an alien, I feel that I can use him to lure you in. ”
"Does it have to be like this?"
"I can't go into the city, and I think you should come and see for yourself, so I encouraged the vegetable farmer to look for you, but you didn't come, it was an old man who came, but in the end you showed up."
Hu Guiyang took out the receiver and red jade from his arms and put them on the table, "You knew they were the ones who did the trick?" ”
"Well, I'm all too familiar with the receiver to know it when I touch it. I guess Huang Erxian sensed that someone was going to kill him, so he swallowed this thing into his stomach, maybe it was the receiver that caused him to kill. ”
"I can figure out anything else, what is the matter with the corpse becoming soft? Can Huang Erxian really come back to life? I'm not going to kill him by mistake, am I? ”
"To be dead is to be dead, Huang Erxian will not come back to life. The corpse softens because he is an Inhuman. ”
"Tong Feng and the soldier didn't soften." Hu Guiyang recalled that it had been two days since he went to inspect the corpses of the soldiers, and there was indeed no sign of softening.
"Other alien diseases are on the outside, Huang Erxian's symptoms are inside, plus there is a golden pill in the body, softening is just an illusion, he is dead."
There was a sound of footsteps outside, it should be Fan Dajian and the others coming back, Hu Guiyang got up to leave, Gu Zhongxian smiled and said: "How do you feel about the loss of divine power?" ”
Hu Guiyang slapped the table, "Sure enough, it's you who are doing the trick!" ”
"I don't know what is precious until I lose it, Hu Guiyang, have you thought about it? Is it to be a mortal, walking around outside the fog and never knowing the truth, or to be an alien and walk directly into the fog? ”
