Chapter 364: Return to Jin City
"Poof......!"
I felt a strong feeling of suffocation coming over me.
A stream of cold water pierced my lungs.
I wanted to flutter my hands, but the more I flapped, the faster I sank.
When everything gets dark, I just want to curse in my heart.
Because, I know, my stand-in doll is gone.
If I had drowned, I would have died.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
It seemed as if I had just fallen into darkness when I felt a pang of discomfort in my chest and coughed violently.
In the end, I woke up with a cough.
"Brother Muyang, you're awake, you're finally awake......!"
A familiar voice came, and I saw Hu Xiaomei grabbing my arm with both hands and shaking it vigorously.
I shook my head and asked, "Where is this?" ”
Hu Xiaomei said: "This is the ghost mother-in-law's house, three days ago, Brother Zhang carried you back from the mountains ......!" ”
I groaned, but soon came to my senses.
"I ......"
As soon as I said the word, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Yi walked in smoking a cigarette.
When he saw me, he burst out laughing.
"Mu Yang, you can be considered awake, if you don't wake up again, your little sister will kill me......!"
I looked at Zhang Yi, who still had a tough face, and narrowed my eyes.
I couldn't help but wonder, is this a dream of mine?
I stretched out my hand and pointed to Zhang Yi's face and said, "You, your face?" ”
Zhang Yi touched his face and said, "You said my face, it's like this......"
I was in a coma for three days, and I only felt like it was a momentary thing.
When I was completely clear, Zhang Yi told me that after he jumped into the crescent spring water, he felt the changes in his body.
When they saw me fall into the water, they jumped off the cliff to save me.
The place we are in is a mountain stream in Linxian County.
I'm a little surprised by that.
What's even more incredible is that Hu Xiaomei told us that we had been there for nearly seven days.
But Zhang Yi and I didn't feel the speed of time speeding up.
Because when we were down there, we didn't feel any hunger at all.
Seven days without eating or drinking, it is simply impossible.
But Hu Xiaomei's words naturally don't deceive, and I have experienced a lot of strange events.
Either way, it's good to be alive, and to be alive to continue to find the answers I want.
I have lost quite a lot this trip, and the human skin stand-in doll is a priceless treasure, so it's gone, and it's fake if you don't feel heartache.
And the contents of my backpack are not missing, but the cockscomb blood has already fallen.
Fortunately, the town coffin ruler and the four-winged cicada are still there.
And the cockscomb blood is still here, and I'm glad I didn't take all the cockscomb blood.
Otherwise I'll regret it.
After a day of recuperation at the ghost mother-in-law's side, she packed up her things and prepared to leave for Aizu City.
Zhang Yi also packed up everything, and he wanted to go back to Jin City with us, which was agreed before.
And Hu Xiaomei also recovered completely at this time, with a red face full of light, naturally the cultivation during this period of time has played a very good effect.
When we left, we didn't let the ghost mother-in-law come out to see us off, after all, the legs and feet were not very good.
Zhang Yi just said hello to her and followed us away.
We departed in the morning, and when we actually arrived in Tsu, it was already the morning of the next day.
It was supposed to be possible to arrive in the middle of the night, but something happened on the way, so it was delayed for some time.
At this time, it is not said that it is snowing heavily, but it is also extremely cold, because it is already the month of wax.
I never thought it would be a few months to go.
When I returned to my own shop, I found that many of the shops here had been closed, and even the word "renovation" appeared on the ghost market.
Looking at everything around me, a sense of what is wrong emerges.
Zhang Yi urged: "I said, Mu Yang, I want to sigh, let's go into the house and sigh again, it's too cold...... ”
I turned my head to look at Zhang Yidao: "Aren't you from Hebei, you should have been used to it, right?" ”
Zhang Yi replied speechlessly: "What you said is, since the last time I said goodbye to you on the train, the places I have gone to are hotter than the other, and Hu Jian's side is the coldest!" ”
As for Hu Xiaomei, she didn't feel how cold it was.
After all, he is from the Northeast, and it is much colder than Tsu City casually.
I bent down from under the door frame, reached for the key, and opened the door.
However, I found that the house was messy and dusty.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Muyang, you have been robbed in your family!" ”
"Now this person is too, the poor have stolen the coffin and laid ......!"
I shook my head indifferently, put my backpack on the counter next to me and said, "Little sister, clean up here......!" ”
As he spoke, he went upstairs alone, and the upstairs was naturally a mess, with boxes and shoe cabinets all collapsing to the ground.
Even the sheets and bedding were torn to shreds.
The only thing that was still complete was the black and white photograph of the old man, but it was also hanging crookedly on the wall.
I smiled wryly and whispered, "Grandpa, even if you die, you are still majestic." ”
"Look at those people, they smashed all the shops, but they didn't dare to touch your real body, it seems that I still have a long way to go if I want to reach your level......!"
I sat down on the floor weakly, pulled out the cigarette I was holding, lit one for myself, and smoked it.
Looking at the messy surroundings, I only felt a sour nose, and tears involuntarily slipped down the sides of my eyes.
This used to be a place where I opened a store, and the first single job was introduced by Mr. Wu, which was what Qiao Feng wanted.
This is also my home with Leng Yueru, Fatty, Sister and others.
Now that people can't find it, and my home has become like this, how can I not be sad and uncomfortable.
In these short months, I have been as long as a few years, and I have worked hard to help my second uncle, and in the end, I got these.
I wanted to repay the kindness of the Wu family, but except for the dead Old Man Wu and the fat man, everyone only used me as a pawn.
My grandfather passed on the name of the Coffin Mountain Taibao to me, and when he died, his hands were gone.
Old Man Wu passed on my feng shui mathematics, and even passed on my life-saving skills, and his head was taken after his death.
Uncle Bai chose to help me, and even let my sister inherit the unification of the nine gates, which is completely crazy!
The fat man chose to be on the same side as me, and now he is nowhere to be found.
Leng Yueru was originally a person from my faction, but now her whereabouts are unknown.
Jia Zheng asked me to help me find out the news, but it completely evaporated from the world, and the phone number has been cancelled.
…………
Looking back on everything now, I suddenly found that no matter what kind of thing, as long as I choose to help me, it doesn't seem to end well in the end!
I don't understand, why are those people in the yin circle so afraid of me?
Just because I'm the Coffin Mountain Taibao?
But now I am not the top in terms of Taoism or craftsmanship, except for making coffins, what are they afraid of me?
Why do you have to kill them all and get rid of all the people around me one by one?
Is it just to seek the way to immortality?
But I'm special. Damn, I don't know what the way of immortality is.
I don't even know what the eightfold gathering treasure that my grandfather asked me to find is.
Why do you have to stare at me?
I inherited the name of the Coffin Mountain Taibao, just to follow the feng shui, there is no other way.
As for what my grandfather said, I naturally did my best to revitalize the Mu family, but why didn't everyone seem to want me to be good.
Just because the Coffin Mountain Taibao does not allow family inheritance?
When the ash burned out and burned my fingers, I realized that three or five cigarette butts had been thrown away on the ground.
I gently wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and looked at my grandfather hanging on the wall.
"Grandpa, what do you say?"
"What kind of secrets are the Coffin Mountain Sect hiding?"
"Why, every time you can find clues about the Coffin Mountain Sect?"
Of course, the grandfather on the wall didn't pay any attention to me at all.
When I knew that my sister knew how to observe the spirit, I had the urge to take her back to my hometown and use the method of observing falling sounds to my grandfather.
"Mu Yang, what are you doing up there?"
"Not coming down?"
Zhang Yi's urging voice came from below, and then I smelled a rich fragrance, which was the smell of roast duck.
"Good!"
"Got it, come down right away......!"
I agreed, got up, picked up the incense scattered on the ground, lit it and put incense on my grandfather.
Then he held the photo frame with both hands and prepared to hang up his grandfather.
It's just that a yellowed post-it note fell from the back of the frame............!
