Chapter Eighty-Four: The Half-Faced Handkerchief

Two days passed, and I felt a slight sorrow between my brows, and I struggled to stand in front of the Temple of the Wandering Gods.

What used to be a sea of flowers is now full of black silt, and the fiery red picture can only exist in my memory.

Once the flowers bloom, once the flowers fail.

At this time, when you are in the origin, why do you need to know the fate?

Ay.

I sighed softly, but I could hear the sound of emptiness coming from the temple.

"Donglean, you girl has sighed ten times and eight times in front of my door, but you want to collapse my temple of the gods?"

Squeak ~ quack ~

The heavy door opened in response, and a figure in a plain gray robe stood in the hall, as clear and light as ink.

"Sister, how are you doing?" I asked, stepping through the door.

But I haven't seen her for a few days, and Sister Zhen has changed her appearance again.

The long gray hair is neatly tied into a bun, the sideburns are smooth and meticulous, and although the eyebrows are full of wrinkles and dry eyes, the spirit in the eyes is much stronger than before.

She smiled at me, "Since you're here, you have something to say to me, right?"

"yes......"

My heart was full of feelings, but I couldn't help but be confused.

There is often a saying in the world: If you are sad, you are a ghost, a demon and a god, and there are countless people who are infatuated for love, and who are drunk for love.

In front of me, Sister Zhen's example is the closest one I have ever seen, but how sad is her end?

Sister Zhen had already sat down at the familiar table, poured a cup of tea for me, and said with a cold smile: "The sea of flowers is destroyed, and there is no flower tea in the Temple of the Gods, this is the child Xiao Hei got from the world a few days ago, you taste it, it tastes good." ”

"Good. ”

I nodded, said no more, and took a light sip of warm tea.

In the mouth, the bitter taste spreads from the tip of the tongue, and the aftertaste is long, and the taste is long, which is a taste that I have never tasted before.

"It was delicious. "I put down the teacup, a little absent-minded.

"If you have something to say, just say it. ”

Sister Zhen repeated the action of pouring tea, and her mind seemed to have returned to stability.

I said, "I want to ...... Go to the world. ”

Sister Zhen raised her eyes suddenly, her hand pouring tea shook unconsciously, and the light yellow tea fell on the table, stirring up a few drops of water stains and splashing on my sleeve.

"What did you say?" she said solemnly: "?!! in the world"

I rolled my eyes slightly, but nodded in the affirmative.

"You ......"

Sister Zhen sighed heavily, and she didn't know whether she was angry or anxious, so she categorically stopped: "No! The underworld ghost goes to the world without authorization, and it will not be reincarnated in the infernal hell forever, do you know?!"

"But ......"

I vaguely remembered what Ye Dingxi said to me before I went out, so I said like a gourd: "Sister Zhen, do you remember the last time I mentioned to you, something that Old Man Luo cares about very much?"

"You're trying to find it?"

"Yes. ”

"Why take such a risk to find it?"

"Old man Luo asked on his deathbed that he must find that thing, this is his last wish...... "I was a little stiff and stiff.

Sister Zhen didn't notice it, she just muttered: "Last wish, his last wish is actually this thing, is it...... Is he so unable to let go of that thing?"

"This ......"

As soon as I opened my mouth, Sister Zhen interrupted me.

"If you look for it, are you sure?"

"Huh...... Actually......"

"Now that you've decided, you should know what to expect, but ...... In two days, it will be the day of the monthly salary, if you are not there, there will inevitably be a flaw, Cui Jue and they are afraid that they will find you if they turn over the underworld. ”

"Yes......"

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.

Sister Zhen didn't mention it, but I forgot, two days later will be the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, and it will be the first day of January in the underworld.

"However, if you can hide it for a while, and with my help, you may be able to give it a try!" Sister Zhen's eyebrows tightened, and her eyes turned rapidly, thinking about something in her heart.

I watched her sudden change of attitude, and I didn't know why for a while, but I wanted to remind her that what I was looking for in the world was not related to her.

"Sister Zhen, that thing, it's not ......"

"Good!"

Sister Zhen suddenly looked at me and said: "Then I decided like this, you set off as soon as possible, if you can come back in the early morning of the fourteenth, it is the best, if you can't come back, I will arrange everything for you, as long as there is no accident, I think no one will find out!"

"But ......"

"Are you worried about an accident in the underworld?"

Sister Zhen frowned again, took out a plain handkerchief from her sleeve, and handed it to me: "This is the handkerchief I brought with me in Su Ri, how much it has been contaminated with my essence, and now it is divided into two, it will become an induction, if the half-faced handkerchief you are holding appears bloody, it means that the situation on my side is urgent, and whether you find that thing or not, you must rush back, you know?"

"Good ......"

When I came out of the temple, I had a handkerchief with half a plain silver flower in my hand.

All the way back to the yard in a trance, the orange cat was lazily sleeping under the porch.

I stepped forward, frowning.

"How? she won't help you?" said the orange cat with her eyes closed.

"Yes, and gave me this. ”

I handed the half-faced handkerchief to the tip of its nose and swept it back and forth a few times.

The orange cat opened his eyes, turned his gaze a few times with the handkerchief dangling in front of him, and said, "It seems that this sister is still good to you." ”

"yes. ”

I nodded, but my heart was always empty, very suspenseful, and said, "Why don't we postpone it for a few days and wait for the moon to be sent before going to the world?"

"There is news in the world that strange faces have frequently appeared in a Zen temple in the past two days, and I am worried that there may be accidents. ”

"Accident?"

I was a little surprised: "Could it be that there are still people who want to beat the monk?"

The orange cat slanted its eyelids and looked at me with a look of "weren't you the one who hit the monk's idea?"

Hey.

I smiled and stroked it on top of it, the smooth fluff was more comfortable than silk.

The orange cat got up and shook it, pulling out an emerald green copper coin-shaped jade pendant from behind his ear.

"Hey, where did you get the jade pendant?"

I asked as I picked it up and looked at it.

"Got it by accident. ”

The orange cat said, "You pour a wisp of essence into it." ”

Essence?

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that blood is used to raise jade, can the essence of this ghost also raise jade?

I held the copper coin in my hand, looked at the orange cat in disbelief and said, "Are you going to give me nightmares again?"

The last time I fell into the Lethe River, when it was a dream and when it wasn't, I still haven't been able to tell clearly, if he is like this again, I will be even more confused.

"I want you to fall asleep, do you still need a piece of jade?" the orange cat looked disdainful.

"That's right. ”

I muttered and nodded, closed my eyes and condensed, gathering a wisp of essence from the dantian and slowly pouring it into the jade pendant.
