Chapter 164: The Midyear Festival is coming
Back in the store, Sister Lin and Xiaoxiao had already slept in the inn. Tu Yu sat in the small garden and smoked, and when he saw me coming back, he threw me a cigarette and asked about the cemetery.
I told him what Uncle Raincoat said, and Tu Yu's eyebrows jumped, "Soul detention? Sure enough, I still wanted to ask something. ”
I wanted to ask something, but I didn't think it was appropriate. I don't want to know the answer to something that can be asked by this means.
Tu Yu didn't intend to tell me, but frowned deeply, as if he was thinking about something.
I said hello to him and went back to rest. The door was locked, and I lay on the folding bed, snorting and falling asleep.
In the morning, I was woken up by Lu Qing's phone call. Since I was beaten by Lu Qing's father, I have never taken the initiative to contact Lu Qing. After a moment's hesitation, I answered the phone.
Lu Qing told me that Tian Yuanxing, who was sent last night, was gone. And Tian Yuanxing's mother was in the hospital, and the police came, and at first suspected that Lu Jiayang scared him like this.
My heart sank, Tian Yuanxing was so seriously injured, where could I go if I disappeared?
Lu Jiayang returned to the inn before us last night. Since Tu Yu said that the previous matter was written off, he didn't go to Lu Jiayang for trouble.
Even if Lu Jiayang is outside, what benefits can he get from traveling far away?
I just hope he doesn't come nonsense.
I sighed, but I didn't have the strength to mind his business anymore. Instead, he told the news to Master Liu.
Master Liu said that he knew, and told me that if Tian Yuanxing's mother was short of money, remember to tell him, and he could help.
It came to September 1st without waves.
I tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, so I ended up meditating in my bed. At first, my mind was chaotic, but slowly, I felt a great sense of tranquility. I sat cross-legged for the night, and the next day I wasn't sleepy at all, but refreshed.
In the morning, I called my relatives and friends one by one, and I was the last to explain.
I almost cried when I called my parents.
But when I arrived at Lu Qing, I was very hesitant. I didn't want to disturb her, but I really wanted to apologize to her and listen to her.
In the end, I held my phone and played the voice she sent me back and forth, but I still couldn't make the last call.
Yuan Jingchen knew what we were doing at night, so he sat next to me and told me for a while. Just like him and Feng Yue, he was sad to die at the beginning, and now it's just as good.
I said that you did it purely by yourself, and Lu Qing's situation is different.
The two of us are bitter people separated by a ruthless fate.
Yuan Jingchen rolled her eyes at me.
The dinner was very rich, and Sister Lin prepared a large table of dishes. There is my favorite braised pork with green pepper and fat sausage, and I took several lotus leaf cakes and ate them with oil.
After the send-off meal, Tu Yu called me into his room. The box that had been kept in the small garden was opened, and Tu Yu took out a white paper umbrella from it and handed it to me. "Self-defense."
I took it and held it in my hand, though I didn't know what it was for.
"There is also that Sanqing Ling that you can bring, don't bring other things." Tu Yu told me.
I nodded.
I went back and sat down in the living room, and my mind went blank.
The evening time seems to pass slowly, but quickly. By the time I reacted, it was past ten o'clock.
Sister Lin and Yuan Jingchen were driven away by Tu Yu after eating.
Now there are no outsiders in the inn except for those who are ready to go to Lethe.
I was about to lock the door when a few more people came in.
Wenjing is also among them.
"Why are you here?" I was surprised.
Wen Jing nodded at me, saying that he didn't worry about me.
"Can you go down?"
"I also got a yin talisman." Wen Jing said.
I patted Wenjing on the shoulder and didn't say anything more. It's too hypocritical to say that now.
There are also two old and one young, standing at the counter and saying that they want to stay in the hotel. 18
The boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there was a scar on his face, which ran from the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes.
The old man started smoking as soon as he entered the door.
My room was full, the old man didn't speak, and the young man lifted up his shirt very fiercely, revealing the dagger at his waist, "Say it again?" ”
"It's full, little brat." I don't have a good airway.
The boy was about to rush towards me, but the old man stopped me.
Tu Yu came out of the room, glanced at the two of them, and didn't say anything, just let me lock the door.
I walked over and locked the door, lowering the curtain to cover the glass door, as is customary.
Tu Yu took out a bronze tripod from the top of the cabinet and placed it at the front desk.
The old man took out two shining beads from his pocket and threw them into the ding.
At this time, the people upstairs also came down one after another, Huang Qingsong nodded at me, and also walked over and put in two beads.
Wenjing also stood up and threw in a bead.
Every guest throws one into it.
I was curious about what it was, but I didn't expect Tu Yu to directly hand me the bronze tripod and ask me to put it back in his room.
The bronze tripod is heavy. There are more than a dozen beads the size of lotus seeds, which are particularly eye-catching.
It's kind of like a pearl, but it's much brighter than a pearl.
I took the bronze tripod and put it back in Tu Yu's room, and when I was about to leave, a shadow came out of me, jumped to the side of the bronze tripod, and refused to leave anything.
Wen Jing stood at the door and said to me, "There is no way for the shadow to go down, but you better seal him away so that he doesn't run away." ”
The shadow listened to Wen Jing's words and grinned at Wen Jing.
I said okay, Wenjing directly picked up a talisman, put the shadow into a cookie box, then pasted the rune paper, and threw the cookie box to me. The biscuit box was hit by the shadow, but he couldn't get out.
I watched it interestingly, talked about the cookie box with my fingers, and said that I would let you out the day after tomorrow.
There was no mention of whether it could come out or not.
Too frustrating.
At eleven fifty-five o'clock, Tu Yu lit the white paper lantern in his hand.
"Everyone can come here, they must know the rules. Follow my lantern when you go in and out. During the period, everyone is free, regardless of life and death, and each has its own destiny. Remember, when the sky inside is bright, that's when it's time to come out. Yang Dong, you have been following me. ”
I still don't know the rules for going to Lethe, but when the time comes, just follow Tu Yu closely.
Tu Yu carried the lantern upstairs, and I followed him. Everyone silently followed.
When I got to the third floor, I saw Du Nianrong standing at the staircase on the third floor.
Then when we passed, she followed me. He raised his wrist at me.
On the wrist, it is the beads of small leaf red sandalwood that the raincoat uncle is accustomed to wearing.
I was stunned, what kind of road is this?
But there was no one around to speak, so I didn't say anything.
Tu Yu stood at the end of the corridor on the third floor and stopped.
After waiting for about two minutes, the table clock downstairs struck twelve times.
The whole inn began to tremble.
As the bell rang, the inn shook with it.
When the bell struck the twelfth moment, an extremely cold aura swept through the entire inn.
A door appeared at the end of the porch.
Unlike the one I've seen before, this one is blood-red.
The corridors and even the inn seemed to have disappeared, and we seemed to be standing in the void, and there was only one door in the whole world.
Tu Yu took a deep breath, first took out a fire fold and blew it on, lit the lantern in his hand, and then pushed the door open.
