It's about the marks on my body, and I think the place where the Taoist chief took me must be extraordinary.

The chief hailed a car, and after telling the driver the name of the place, he beckoned me and my grandfather to get in the car together.

Through conversations on the road, I learned that the Taoist chief's surname was Zhang Ming Yibai, and it was said that he was the ninety-ninth generation disciple of Zhang Tianshi. I doubt even whether the character of Zhang Tianshi is real, and the identity of the ninety-ninth generation disciple is even more difficult to say.

I don't know how high Zhang Yibai's ability is, but just because he tried so hard to save my grandfather, I believe him unconditionally. As for why he spared no effort to help his grandfather, he said that it was because when he was young, his grandfather helped him a lot.

I was about to ask what was the problem, but the taxi stopped, and the driver turned his head and said, "Here, sixty yuan." ”

After getting out of the car, I looked at the familiar environment in front of me, and the corners of my mouth twitched slightly: "This is Sanqingchi?" ”

"How do you know?" Zhang Yibai turned his head to look at me, his face full of surprise.

Can I not know?

Sanqingchi is right behind our school, and I don't know how many times I've passed through it in my three years of college. With such a close distance, the taxi is not even the starting price. The driver obviously saw that Zhang Yibai was a foreigner and cheated him. Of course, in order to save Zhang Yibai's face, I couldn't bear not to tell him the truth, and reluctantly smiled: "I've been in Rongdu for three years, and I've been here once or twice." ”

Zhang Yibai nodded, approved my answer, and walked forward with me.

"What are we doing here?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Zhang Yibai didn't tell me, but his pace sped up.

The reason why Sanqing Pond is called this name is because the mountains are green and the grass is green, and even the water is green. Even at night, under the light of the street lamps, you can feel the beauty of the blue waves. Sanqing Pond is not big, we walked around it for about half a circle and stopped somewhere. Only then did I notice that the whole of Sanqing Pond is a circle, but the place where we are standing is recessed into it. The depression is just filled with a small hole.

But the strange thing is that this pit is next to Sanqing Pond, and the terrain is more above, but there is not a drop of water in it.

Zhang Yibai stepped forward, raised his foot and poked it nine times with his toes on the inside of the pit, and his mouth was also chanting. I understood every word he said, but I didn't understand a word of it.

Soon, Zhang Yibai retreated.

The next second, I saw a black liquid gushing out of the bottom of the pit, gurgling and bubbling, like pitch-black ink, filling the puddle in an instant.

It's like ink, but it's different. In this liquid, there is a faint flickering light wandering, shining.

"What is this?"

I muttered.

"Jiuquan."

"Isn't Jiuquan from Gansu?" I blurted out.

"It's Nine Springs, Nine Springs under Nine Springs." Zhang Yibai couldn't help but roll his eyes at me.

Nine springs?

I thought that under the nine springs was just an adjective, who would have thought that the nine springs were really a spring? Moreover, it has to be used in this mysterious way to make it pop up.

Just when I was stunned, my grandfather actually leaned down and drank a few sips of the black spring water.

"Grandpa, what are you doing! Spit it out! I exclaimed, and quickly pulled my grandfather up.

Whether this is Jiuquan or Jiuquan, I can feel that this black liquid cannot be drunk!

Grandpa smiled and petted my head dotingly.

"This decision was made before my grandfather came."

The calm face made me want to cry even more.

I turned my head to look at Zhang Yibai, choked up and asked, "What will happen if I drink the water of this Nine Springs?" ”

"The water of the Nine Springs has the qi of the most yin and cold, which can absorb the yang energy of people, and finally, it all converges to the place of the heart. After 24 hours, the person will die, but the heart becomes the place where all the yang energy gathers. Grinding your heart into mud and smearing it on your neck will not only remove the mark, but also form an enchantment on you, so that even if the cat stands in front of you, it will not be able to detect your presence. ”

I didn't really listen to the rest of the words, and only one sentence echoed in my head.

Grandfather...... Will it die?

For a moment, I just felt like the world had collapsed. Although I could read something from my grandfather's death-defying expression, when I actually heard the news, I still couldn't accept it.

My grandfather is my only relative in this world, and I can't afford to lose him!

I shook my head again and again, crying, "I don't want to remove any marks, I'm not afraid that the black cat will find me, I just want my grandfather to live!" ”

"Dao Chief, you must have a way, right! Is it okay to just spit it out? You help my grandfather and make him spit it out! As long as you can save my grandfather, I can do anything! ”

I tugged at Zhang Yibai's sleeve and begged bitterly.

Zhang Yibai shook his head, sighed lightly and said, "It's too late." Once the water of the Nine Springs enters the body, it is a lack of skill to return to the sky, and the immortals can't be saved when they come. ”

It's uncomfortable, and it's unspeakably uncomfortable. I didn't even know what I could do other than cry.

My grandfather wiped away my tears in distress and said with a smile: "Silly girl, what are you crying about." Grandpa was originally a dying man, and he could do something for you before he died, and Grandpa was blind when he died. ”

"I don't want you, grandpa, I don't want you to die."

I threw myself into my grandfather's arms and cried heartbreakingly.

Zhang Yibai didn't speak, and muttered a long list of nine springs, and those springs disappeared in front of my eyes, leaving only a dry puddle. It's as if nothing happened.

But I know that some things are already hard to recover.

Thinking that I only had the last 24 hours to spend with my grandfather, my heart was very heavy.

The mobile phone rang by accident, and it was Zhang Qian calling.

"Xiao Jiu, where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet? The boss said that if you don't come back, it will be closed. ”

"Shut it down, I'm not going back tonight."

"No, the boss said, if you don't come, you'll kick both of us out!" Yao Jiawen muttered on the side.

I frowned and asked puzzledly, "What is the truth of this?" ”

"The boss said that he is principled in his business. Since we have three rooms, we have to live in three rooms, or we don't live in any of them. Everything here must come according to his arrangement. ”

This old man is really weird!

However, I have to accompany my grandfather.

After tonight, there will be no more chances.

And anyway, the hotel is also very strange, I told them before that I didn't believe it, isn't this just an opportunity?

I just wanted to speak, but Zhang Yibai next to me pulled me and said seriously: "You better go back." You can't be with your grandfather for 24 hours. For what we want to remove is the mark on you. If you are by your grandfather's side, it will affect the direction of the water of the Nine Springs. When the time comes, your grandfather's sacrifice will be in vain. So, until your grandfather dies, you have to be separated from him. ”

Hearing Zhang Yibai say this, my heart was even more desperate.

This is...... Didn't you even give me the last chance to accompany my grandfather?

"I'll be right back." I endured my sadness and said to Zhang Qian.

When I hung up the phone, I couldn't hold back.

"Grandpa......"

I felt that I had a thousand words to say to my grandfather, but at this moment, I couldn't say a word except crying.

Although there was all the reluctance and helplessness, in the end, I could only tearfully separate from my grandfather. As I was leaving, I turned my head to look at my grandfather again and again. I haven't seen each other for three years, but this short reunion is in exchange for goodbye.

I cried all the way back to the hotel, and in the distance, I saw the old man standing at the door and watching. The moment he saw me, the old man turned and went into the hotel. Could it be that this old man is waiting for me? Anyway, the house money has already been paid, and I can't get it back, does it make any difference to him? I really don't know what this weird old man thinks!

I went upstairs and lay on the bed, not wanting to sleep at all. At this time, I can still sleep, then I really have no heart and lungs.

I tossed and turned in bed, thinking back to my grandfather over the years.

Before I knew it, in the early hours of the morning, the air was suddenly filled with a vague fragrance. My eyelids were stuck with magnets, and it was hard to open them.

No, I'm not sleepy at all!

What's going on?

I followed the scent and saw that it was wafting from the pot of flowers on the windowsill.

Strange, this flower didn't smell before, why did it suddenly have a fragrance?

Could it be that this flower is called nightshade?!

I was wondering, but I noticed that everywhere the fragrance went, the furnishings in the room were distorted, and the big bed under me seemed to be surging in the dark tide.

Immediately after, a huge whirlpool suddenly formed in the center of the bed, sucking my whole body in!
