Chapter 19: The Death of the Resurrection
Just as Qi Lu moved the male corpse with trembling hands, the male corpse suddenly opened his eyes, he raised his hand and grabbed Qi Lu's hand stretched out to his waist, and muttered, "Lady, is it you?" ”
Qi Lu instantly felt that the hand that grabbed him was as cold as an ice cube, and it seemed that a frightened aura ran down his arm to the depths of his heart.
"Mom, there's a ghost!" Qi Lu was not very panicked, but Xu Jie was so frightened that he sat on the ground, trembling all over.
"Damn, it's really a corpse!" Lao Wu hurriedly pulled out his short knife, ready to give the zombie a blow to the chest.
"I'm a human, not a ghost." Seeing Qi Lu frightened like this, the man quickly crawled out of the coffin to comfort the people present, and when he let go of his hand, the rotten clothes on his body drifted away like dust in the wind.
"You demon dare to come out and harm people, then don't blame me for being unkind to you." Qi Lu hurriedly pinched a magic trick and was ready to recite the evil spell.
"Don't panic, Xiaosheng is really a living person, not a demon or a monster." The young man knew that he had frightened everyone, so he bowed with his hand to signal that they should not panic.
He really didn't have the disgusting aura of a zombie on his body, and when Qi Lu calmed down and put his hand down, he also saw the appearance of this man clearly, this is a handsome man who is nearly thirty years old and has an ancient Confucian temperament.
"If you're human, why are you in a coffin?" Seeing the handsome guy, Ding Xiaolan had already left her vigilance behind.
"I'm sorry to disturb everyone. Allow me to tell you the truth of the matter slowly. The man kept bowing and apologizing, showing that he was a cultivated man.
"This guy seems to have an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Seeing that the young man who crawled out of the coffin was not in any danger, Lao Wu put away the short knife and muttered quietly behind Qi Lu.
"Well, I hear that."
"Are you really a human being or a ghost?" As he spoke, Qi Lu tentatively grabbed the hand of the young man in front of him who had come back from the dead and squeezed a few handfuls, feeling that his hands were very warm and his muscles were very elastic, without any cold feeling when he first made contact. Qi Lu finally put his mind at ease, because ghosts or zombies have no temperature, and the man in front of him is indeed a living person.
Ding Xiaolan blushed and twisted her head to the side, and Qi Lu realized that the man was almost naked except for the string of Buddhist beads on his chest.
Qi Lu saw that he was similar to his body, so he turned back to Lao Wu and said, "You go up and get a few of my clothes for him to wear, otherwise it will be too embarrassing." ”
"Why bother, let's just go up to the tent and sit and chat." After speaking, Lao Wu winked at Qi Lu.
Qi Lu immediately understood Lao Wu's intentions, if this man was an evil thing such as a deeply hidden demon ghost zombie, the bright sunlight on the ground would make him immediately reveal his true form.
Although Xu Jie didn't know whether this mysterious man was a human or a ghost, seeing that he had no ill will towards everyone, people also became bolder, and he got up and came to the coffin, hoping to find something valuable inside.
But the final result disappointed him, there was nothing in the coffin, and he couldn't help but say a little angrily: "You were a poor ghost when you were alive, and you didn't bring anything in when you died." ”
The young man smiled awkwardly and said, "Money is something outside the body, poor...... Xiaosheng is not really dead, but is waiting for the time of resurrection. ”
Hearing this, Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask him, but heard the man say to Xu Jie apologetically: "I'm really sorry for you, if it weren't for your help, I don't know when I would have to sleep before I woke up." ”
After speaking, he took off the string of Buddhist beads from his chest and handed it to Xu Jie, and said with a smile: "You and I are destined, this string of Buddhist beads has followed Xiaosheng for many years, so I will give it to you as a souvenir." ”
"Did you hear that, this is a gift from him, you are not allowed to rob it." Xu Jie's eyes lit up, he didn't thank him, and put the Buddha beads in his trouser pocket, for fear that the young man would regret it.
Qi Lu didn't expect him to be such a philistine, so he couldn't help but show disgust on his face, turned to Lao Wu and said, "Everyone go up, this is not a place to chat." ”
Xu Jie didn't want to stay in this gloomy place for a long time, so he took the lead and ran towards the outside of the cave. Qi Lu kept an eye on it, afraid that it would be bad if he went up first, so he rushed ahead of him and let Lao Wu climb up the entrance of the cave first, and then let Xu Jie climb the rope.
"Can you climb up?" Qi Lu saw that the man in the tomb had just been resurrected, and he was worried that he was too weak to climb out of the hole.
"It's okay, Xiaosheng is strong." After saying that, he grabbed the rope and climbed up. Qi Lu didn't expect him to be agile in shooting, and he was more agile than a monkey, so he climbed up in a few clicks.
In the end, Qi Lu asked Ding Xiaolan with concern: "You, okay?" ”
"I'll try." Ding Xiaolan looked at this high cave, and was already timid.
"Forget it, I'll carry you up." After speaking, regardless of whether Ding Xiaolan agreed or not, Qi Lu carried her on his back and crawled out of this weird cave.
And they all went out of the cave and sat down on the ground in their tents. Qi Lu saw that the man's face was pale, so he took out a bottle of mineral water and gave it to him. The man had never seen such bottled mineral water before, and he didn't know how to drink the water in the bottle, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Everyone laughed, and Qi Lu helped him unscrew the cap of the bottle and asked, "If you weren't a ghost, how could you be in the coffin for so long without dying?" ”
"That's because I took the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that my mother left me."
Qi Lu almost laughed, he knew that there was no elixir of immortality in the world since the Tang Dynasty, although the man in front of him did not know the origin, but he was also from the Song Dynasty, no matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to get the elixir of immortality, it seemed that he was not telling the truth to himself. So he said with a little disdain: "In this way, your lady must be a fairy." ”
"No, my lady is a monster."
"Youkai?" Qi Lu felt that he was becoming more and more able to talk nonsense, and he was simply talking nonsense.
"Yes, although she is a monster, she is kinder and more beautiful than a fairy." The man reveled in the happy memories of the past, and he said happily: "With her moments, it is like living a fairy life." ”
Looking at his expression, it is a very natural expression of true feelings, without the slightest trace of disguise, but is there really a creature like a fairy in the world? Qi Lu asked him in disbelief: "Then your lady, is she dead?" ”
As if mentioning his sadness, Qi Lu saw the man's face become painful, and he said angrily: "It's all my fault, I want to listen to those nonsense that people and demons can't coexist, let my lady get out of the devil's way, and cultivate into an immortal with peace of mind!" As a result, as a result," the man's voice became smaller and smaller, and he suddenly became excited again and said: "In the end, she was killed by that stinky monk, he lied to me, and they were all lying to me!" The man lay on the table and wept bitterly.
Qi Lu was a little unbearable when he saw the man's sad appearance, so he hurriedly diverted the topic and asked him, "Do you have any children?" ”
"There was a boy who died before he was three years old." The man cried even more sadly.
Qi Lu was surprised, and began to believe what the man said, after all, it is difficult for offspring born from the union of different species to survive. Qi Lu asked tentatively again: "Your lady died, so all your thoughts were extinguished, so you took the thousand-year-old Lingzhi to die to be liberated?" ”
"No!" The man said: "After her death, I was indeed very sad, I once left home, I was also vulgar, and I also treated people as a charlatan, but I can never escape self-blame for myself. Finally, one day, I came home, although it was already a person, but when I was cleaning up my mother's relics, I saw a secret switch in her commonly used jewelry box. I opened it and saw that it was a dark compartment with Ganoderma lucidum and a note in it. On the note was a handwritten message from my mother, which read, 'If one day I die unfortunately, husband, don't be sad. Please take this Lingzhi, and in another 1,700 years you will wake up again, and I will be reincarnated as a human being, waiting to meet you in the next life. ’”
"So you don't hesitate to take Lingzhi and wait in the coffin for the descendants to wake you up?" Qi Lu spoke, but his eyes were staring at the snake-shaped jade pendant on his chest, calculating in his heart how much this thing was worth.
"Yes, even if the world is lying to me, the lady will never lie to me." Speaking of this, the man became excited, and he asked Qi Lu: "Tell me, tell me quickly, what dynasty is it now?" Is it really 1,700 years old? ”
"It's the year 2780." Qi Lu said.
"A.D. 2780? What do you mean? ”
Qi Lu smiled, how could an ancient person know the current A.D. law. He hurriedly withdrew his eyes from staring at Yu Pei, and said to the man with a smile: "Don't worry, why don't you tell me what year you died, and I can help you calculate the year from now." ”
"I died five years after Jiayu."
Qi Lu quickly looked up on the computer, and a line of cold square characters appeared on the screen in a few seconds: Jiayou five years, 1060 AD.
Qi Lu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, it seemed that he was really not wrong, he had been sleeping in the coffin for 1720 years, and if her mother was also reincarnated after 1700, she would be 20 years old now.
"Yes, it's been 1720 years since you died." Qi Lu said.
"In that case, I can go to my lady!" The man rejoiced and got up to leave.
Qi Lu grabbed him and his hand and said, "Don't be reckless, you can't go." ”
The man said, "Oh, after so long, the world has changed a lot, are you worried that I am not familiar with it?" ”
Qi Lu shook his head.
"Then do you think that my lady has not been reincarnated as a human being?"
Qi Lu still shook his head.
"And what do you want?"
Qi Lu thought for a moment, and finally decided to tell the man the truth, and he beckoned for the strange man to follow him out of the tent.
Outside the tent, the wind was strong and the yellow sand was flying all over the sky. Qi Lu stood on the sand pit and said to the man: "This place was called Hangzhou in your Song Dynasty, and now we call it the Suzhou-Hangzhou Desert. ”
