Chapter 36: Back to My Hometown

"Hiss......" I gasped and wanted to ask the old turtle what was going on, but the door to the ward was pushed open.

Our eyes were all immediately attracted, but fortunately, it was Yang Mengqing and Sydney who came in, and the Taoist priest and the doctor subconsciously stopped blocking in front of me.

Yang Mengqing and Sydney, survivors of the student's disappearance, have been cooperating with the investigation since they were rescued last night, and only now have they had time to come and see me.

They were also surprised when they saw the ghost that was attached to me, and the old turtle stopped selling at this time, telling us that it was not so much that the ghost was attached to me, but that it was bound by the mysterious black vine.

Before that, the curse of doom on my body had been completely unsealed because of the curse of the thousand-year-old fish charm. Fortunately, by chance, I successfully enlightened my soul and learned how to use the Innate Yuan Qi, so that the curse and the Yuan Qi in my body formed a delicate balance, and it would not erupt, but there would often be a source of doom and breath escaping.

Later, the True Martial Daoist gave me the braid that could cover my breath, and with the suppression of the artifact Apocalypse, the aftermath of the curse has been minimized.

But this time, the balance was broken, whether it was my innate Yuan Qi, or the apocalypse and that ancestor braid, they were all useless, and the curse had completely exploded under the stimulation of a powerful external force.

The waves of gloomy things that hit the ward last night are proof, and this is just the beginning, if you don't want to save it, from today onwards, before the yang energy weakens, there will be unspeakable things to find, the old turtle said before that half a month is still a very conservative time.

After listening to the old turtle's explanation, I suddenly gasped, and I still felt a little incredulous: "Turtle ...... Master Turtle, how did it become like this, is it because that ghost has attached itself to me that the situation has deteriorated like this? ”

The old turtle still looked like an old god, and did not immediately answer my words, and after squinting at Yang Mengqing, he suddenly wondered: "Huh......"

The old turtle seemed to have discovered a new world, and the four short legs and the head of the Taoist priest floated from the top of the Taoist priest's head to Yang Mengqing's shoulder, and the two front paws grabbed a strand of her hair, and the glans sniffed Yang Mengqing's neck vigorously.

Yang Mengqing has never seen the old turtle, we have already run out last night when the old turtle showed its might, so she doesn't know the details of the old turtle, just now I saw the old turtle spitting out, and she was quite surprised in her heart, but she didn't expect the old turtle to suddenly fly to her, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.

Seeing that the old turtle not only did not answer my question, but instead came to Yang Mengqing's shoulder with a strong blind smell, I was already a little anxious, and I couldn't hold my breath even more, and just wanted to speak, the old turtle's two long white eyebrows suddenly trembled very quickly.

"That's right, that's right, that's the smell, that's the taste......" The old turtle's expression was very excited, and after muttering without a head, he suddenly asked Yang Mengqing: "Little girl, have you been to any special place or had some special experience?" ”

The old turtle's words made us all stunned, and the Taoist priest was the first to react and patted his head: "Uh, old man, are you talking about the eye of the earth under the phoenix sun?" ”

In fact, when the Taoist priest patted his head, I also remembered this incident, and I thought of it much more than the Taoist priest thought.

After such a reminder from the Taoist priest, Yang Mengqing hesitated for a moment, and then briefly talked about her experience on the other side of Fengyang, and after the old turtle listened, the eyes of the two mung beans suddenly showed excitement.

Seeing that it was so excited, it seemed to know something, and then connected with the abnormal changes that happened to Yang Mengqing, I couldn't help but ask: "Master Turtle, are you ...... Do you know something? ”

The old turtle shook his head again and again: "No, no, the uncle's memory is incomplete now, but the mysterious light that the little girl just talked about seems to be a kind of thing that transforms the body!" ”

"Transforming the body?"

We looked at each other in surprise, and at this time, Yang Mengqing told the others about the changes that happened to her, and the old turtle nodded again and again after hearing it: "Well, well, yes, yes, it's this kind of change, exactly the same as the uncle remembers the drop." ”

"Old man, is this change good or bad? Will it be harmful to the girl? The Taoist priest asked.

The old turtle shook his head vigorously, as if he really didn't remember much, and after thinking for a long time, he said with an uncertain face: "Well, this...... It shouldn't be, alas, the uncle can't remember clearly, it seems that it is the most dangerous when it is transformed, because the success rate is very low, and if it fails, it will become a monster! ”

"Turning into a monster?" I muttered, and suddenly remembered the corpse-transformed townspeople in Fengyang Town, as well as the fierce birds that mutated after being illuminated by the mysterious light, could it be that those people were all failures of the transformation of the different light?

"So, Mengqing will be fine with her in the future?" Sydney asked excitedly, she and Yang Mengqing are sisters, and this time for her, Yang Mengqing almost died, she saw these in her eyes, and remembered it in her heart, at this time, she heard that Yang Mengqing was fine, she was even happier than Yang Mengqing herself.

The old turtle shook his head, and the usual momentum of not looking at anyone was gone, and there was a little more confusion on his face.

The old turtle is like this now, obviously it is impossible to ask anything again, so we return to the topic, I repeated the question just now, at this time the old turtle also came back from the confusion, took a deep look at Yang Mengqing, glanced at me, and then said:

"How did it come to this? Hehe, don't you really notice it at all? Uncle, remember, when we just parted yesterday morning, you didn't have this thing on you. ”

The old turtle said, pointing to the black vine curse that had spread throughout my body.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I understood.

"You mean the two times I lost consciousness and my soul left my body?"

"Although Uncle didn't see it with his own eyes, judging from your description, it was indeed those two times, and with your ability, these two times can be described as a mortal situation.

Your life is threatened, and when you die, the curse loses its host, so the curse takes over your body during your dying moment, helping you to escape, but correspondingly, the delicate balance within you is broken.

If this gap is not too big, it will not hurt, at most it will emit more doom aura, but you let the curse devour half of the ghost, and the curse has grown tenfold?

To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the ghost was unwilling to die and became a stalemate with the curse, I'm afraid your kid would have been gone long ago last night. ”

The old turtle's tone was not like an alarmist, and I suddenly couldn't sit still, and then the doctor frowned and asked, "Old man, according to what you say, that ghost is possessed by the reporter, not only is it not a bad thing, but a good thing?" "Qianqian

Old man, this is the name of the Taoist priest to the old turtle after leaving the toast, we don't know its age, but look at its two white eyebrows, it will not be too small, and the old man is not disobedient, the most important thing is that the old turtle is very satisfied with this title, so we don't call it uncle.

"Well, you can say that, but you can't say that!" The old turtle cloud mountain said in a fog cover.

The doctor raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?" ”

"Hey, it looks like you don't know what a deaf is, do you? The so-called people die as ghosts, ghosts die as deaf, this is the origin of ghosts, ghosts are a special state after death, and deaf is also a special state after the death of ghosts, why are people afraid of ghosts? In the same way, people are afraid of the ghosts they will become after death, and ghosts are also afraid of the deafness they will become after death! ”

Listening to the old turtle's explanation, we seemed to understand a little, but we didn't seem to understand, seeing our puzzled look, the old turtle rolled his eyes and continued to explain.

"Ghosts, it's different from ghosts, people and ghosts are its food, ghosts see this thing is the same as people see ghosts, so deaf possession of this kid, even if it attracts terrible ghosts, don't be afraid. But this curse can not only attract ghosts, but also other terrible things, and after the ghosts devour the ghosts that are constantly attracted by the aura of doom, they will become more and more powerful, until one day they break free from the shackles of doom, and they will also take your kid's life. ”

As soon as he explained this, we all immediately understood.

The Taoist priest rolled his eyes: "Damn, old man, you have been around for a long time, and you just said that both ends are dead!" ”

The old turtle's eyes widened, and the Taoist priest immediately closed his mouth.

Even with the old turtle's knowledge, we still couldn't find a solution, and finally, after being reminded by the Taoist priest, I had to call back to my hometown for help.

After listening to my description of the situation, my grandmother was speechless for a long time, and finally suddenly sighed, just asked me to go back as soon as possible, and she came to figure out a way.

As a result, our original trip back to our hometown was brought forward. The doctor booked a ticket to Kunming in the afternoon through a friend, and before departure, we were discharged from the hospital and went back to the rented house, bringing all the important things with us, and planning to stay in our hometown for a long time.

The process is quite tortuous, first of all, the black rattan on my body, it is too scary, the limbs and chest can be covered with clothes, but the right cheek and the neck are not easy to get, and finally Sydney thought of a way, wearing a mask on the face and wrapping a scarf around the neck.

In this way, the curse is covered, but the ghost and the phantom of the black vine are still there, and that thing can't be covered at all.

It was a kind of talisman that I had never seen before, and after the Taoist priest attached it to me, the ghostly phantom above my head disappeared inexplicably.

So, the biggest trouble was solved, but just when we were leaving, the public safety experts refused to let it, saying that the crime scene had not been cleared out, and the bodies of the victims had not been found, and we could not leave for the time being.

Such a trivial matter, the third uncle naturally agreed happily, but his voice on the phone was a little wrong, and his mood was not high, as if something had happened, and I asked him and refused to say.

After hanging up the phone, the group of public safety experts quickly received the call from above, and then politely let us go.

Before leaving, I told them that Officer Zhou and the surviving female student might still have a Gu worm in their bodies, and the middle-aged police officer who took the lead couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, and hurriedly asked me what to do?

I told them not to worry, although I can't solve that kind of Gu worm now, I will find a way when I go back, but if it doesn't work, I will also find someone to help.

After hearing this, the middle-aged police officer thanked us and sent us out of the hospital, and seeing that I was still weak, he took us back to the rented house by bus.

The New Year is approaching, Yang Mengqing's school will be closed in a few days, she has no relatives now, I am her brother, she has nowhere to go during the holidays, and the changes in her body have not yet been figured out, so she asked for leave and planned to go back to her hometown with us.

I didn't feel much of the bumps along the way, because I was asleep the whole way, I don't know if it was the curse that broke out, although my body had healed itself last night, but I felt very sleepy, unable to concentrate, and always wanted to sleep.

The old turtle said that there is no such good thing in this world, and the self-healing that happened to me is actually a curse to extract bodily functions and forcibly accelerate the repair of physical wounds.

This does allow the body to recover in a very short time, but it will make the body work and feel sleepy, which is the sequelae of this self-healing ability.

The old turtle's statement scared me a lot, if it was really like what it said, every time I was injured and healed myself, wouldn't I be overdrawing my life? But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that what the old turtle said is a little different from my situation, and as for what is different, I can't say what it is.

I fell asleep all the way, and by the time the doctor woke me up, we had already returned to Dingyan Village, to my grandmother's house, and it was already nearly evening.

I saw the kind grandmother at a glance, she was looking at my physical condition, after looking at it for a while, she suddenly sighed, and then patted me on the shoulder, told me to rest first, and then beckoned Sister Bailing to go to Zhang Luo to eat.

After the doctor woke me up, he went to see Lin Qiao'er, and the Taoist priest went to give Sister Qiao'er a hand, and my grandmother sat on the edge of the window, staring at the old turtle in the corner of the house who was bullied by the third child and curled up in the turtle shell for a while, and it took a long time to withdraw her gaze, and then look at me.

"Xiaoyi, it seems that you have experienced a lot in the past few years, come, talk to grandma!"

My grandmother touched my head, and to my surprise, she didn't talk about my problems first, but instead asked me about what had happened since I left last time.

For my grandmother, I naturally won't hide it, so I will briefly say what those experiences are important.

During this period, grandma just nodded from time to time, um, and her expression did not change much, but when I said three things, grandma's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and her eyes revealed a burst of essence that I had never seen before.

The first thing was that I got the Apocalypse and the Grandpa's Codex, and my grandmother reacted quite a lot; And this second thing is related to the old turtle, when I talked about this, my grandmother subconsciously forgot to glance in the direction of the old turtle.

As for the third thing, my grandmother's reaction was particularly violent, which surprised me a little!
