Chapter Seventy-Three: The Death Talisman
The kind old man clicked off the dry cigarette in his hand and turned into the house and lit the kerosene lamp, and I heard him churning in the house from the outside, and I could hear him muttering:
"These two are strange and fresh, but it's a pity that it's my longevity clothes, which I wore a hundred years later, and it's unlucky to wear them for my children, what should I do?"
It was really embarrassing for the old man, and in the end, he finally found two cotton jackets and pants that he had worn for many years, and he brought them to me as if he was in a heartfelt way and said: 'Baby, don't be dirty, put on warm first, don't freeze your body'.
"Grandpa, no, how can I be disgusted, I still have to thank you, if it wasn't for your old man's kindness to open the door, I would definitely be frozen into an old popsicle, where is there still the possibility of living!".
"Child, what are you talking about, you are still young, you have a long time to live" The old man smiled, only his tongue could be seen in his mouth, his teeth were almost all lost, and he looked like a cute cartoon character.
At the end of the night, the morning star shines in the sky, time has gone a little, the sky is gray and begins to brighten, the master plans to turn back and drive the car back, the day is later, I am afraid that I will be suspected of being a murderer, I don't worry that the master will go back alone and insist on following, the master can't resist me, so he has to take me.
Master and I stepped on the ridges of the field step by step to the big natural pond, that is, the big pond and the sixteen mile shop of the road walked for half an hour, I can't imagine how the master carried me to the sixteen mile shop last night, the thought of this makes my heart shocked, all this embodies the master's deep love for me, this ......
From afar, I can see Master's Tianjin Dafa, that is the heart and soul of our master and apprentice, its image in my mind and that of Master is like a sweaty BMW, very precious, we can't lose anything, we have to drive it to the end of the world.
When Master and I walked to its front, our master and apprentice were still shocked by the scene in front of us in a cold sweat, because what caught our eyes was that the butt of the car was pouting on the embankment of the pond, and the front of the car had been attached to the water surface of the pond, if it wasn't for a hard big stone blocking the chassis of the car, it would be regarded as suspending the car in the air, otherwise, the car would have rushed into the pond, and the consequences would have been unimaginable, no wonder after I got out of the car last night, Master didn't let me go back to the car, if I got into the car, The car will also fall into the water when it loses its balance, and it is even more chilling to think of the scene last night, because the position of the car now seems to be completely halfway up the hill last night, but the master is stepping on the accelerator fiercely, which is really terrible, Master and I gasped, and after exhaling it again, there were bursts of white fog in the air, last night was really thrilling.
Now when I raise my eyes and look at the whole circle around the pond, it is densely packed with footprints, which should have been left by the master when he carried me on his back and wanted to escape from the suspicious water array, no wonder I didn't run out for so long last night, I was completely circling around the pond, how could I run out! I have been with Master for so long, and this is really the first time I have seen such a terrifying scene, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener, and the three words 'suspicious water array' have been deeply branded in my heart, which is quite vicious.
As soon as I got into the car, Master told me mysteriously, 'Erdan, you see that there are not just tire marks left by our car on the ground', Master, you mean to say that this is a deliberate murder, this is not the first crime scene, they killed people in advance, and then carried people here in a car, and then tied them up with heavy objects and threw them at the bottom of the river.
"No, the truth of the matter may come to light in a few days" The master stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and our master and apprentice left in the dust.
Sure enough, within three days, there was a male corpse floating in the natural pond, to say that in the deep winter season, the old farmers will not be easily found if they do not go out of the field, it happens to be found by an old man who herds sheep, it is said that the old man goes to those places every day to herd sheep, and will also bring the sheep to the pond to let the sheep drink some water, this is how it was found, this is the so-called 'there is yin and yang, Some people have ghosts', there is an inevitable connection between people, it can also be said that there is a causal relationship, there are many things in the underworld, not just a few words can be said clearly, if it is not for the old man who herds the sheep to find him, he may be soaked and there will only be a pile of bones falling to the bottom of the river, maybe he will lose the powerful opportunity to catch the murderer, but it is the old man who found him, the old man who herded the sheep because of his advanced age, coupled with excessive fright, the weather is relatively cold, and he left in a few days, this relationship between them is obviously evil, and the evil must be returned……
After the male corpse was found, he quickly reported to the police, and after the police went out to salvage the male corpse, after identification, it was a gangster in Sixteen Miles.
The specific reason is this, the thug has taken his mother-in-law who has not passed through the door all these years, that is, his fiancée, working in a certain city, what about this woman, after entering the city, he got along with a rich and powerful man in the city, and wanted to repent of the marriage, the dead thug threatened her and said, if you dare to marry a man in this city, I will kill your whole family, the woman knows, this thug is a man who does what he says, and he can do anything, she understands, so she decided to start first, She deceived the gangsters back to her hometown on the grounds of going back to her hometown to discuss marriage with the parents of both parties, and there is an advantage of committing crimes in the countryside, that is, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not easy to be seen, even if people really see it, no one dares to say it for fear of being killed.
I can't tell you the details of the killing, according to the information leaked by the police, first tricked the gangsters into drinking at the woman's house, drunk the gangsters, and then led them to a remote place to burn the gangsters' eyes with quicklime, and then stabbed them to death with a knife, and when they died, they were pulled into the car to the natural pond, tied with a wire and something like a boulder and fell to the bottom of the pond, they thought the whole process was seamless, they didn't expect that God was long-eyed, and the most hateful thing was that the woman's family of four all participated in the entire murder process, from planning to committing the crime and causing tragedy, including her father, mother, and her younger brother, and of course, the concubine in her city, I still can't figure it out, is they too naïve, or what?
They think they can live the life of a city dunker as long as they kill the thugs? This is completely impossible, this is a tragedy that can not be sad, the direct result is that the gangster died, the woman's family was also ruined, her father saw that the matter was revealed, ran to the mountains, found a class old crooked neck tree and hanged himself, her mother somehow did not take long to be paralyzed, and finally was starved to death, when she died there was no one around, and she died for a long time before being found by the neighbors, and her younger brother, because she was a sister, took all the sins on her and her father, Her brother has not been convicted of any crime, but since the accident, he has not dared to stay in the countryside, for fear of being retaliated against by the man's people, this is a very simple truth, if you let the family have no son, people will kill your son, so his brother hides outside all the year round.
A few years ago, I heard from an insider in the village that her brother participated in a bank robbery case in the capital, and was sentenced to a heavy sentence for a while and a half, and of course she and her concubine, were sentenced to a heavy sentence, because they were many people who committed crimes, although the nature was very bad, but there was no specific death sentence for that person, but she was sentenced to more than 20 years of heavy sentences, her brother had just entered prison on the front foot, and she was released early on the back foot, which had nothing to do with her brother, and she was released early because she could reform well, Unfortunately and sadly, on the day she was released, she didn't have a single relative outside the prison gate, her parents died, her younger brother squatted, and it was their village who brought her back to the village out of humanitarian attention. Who is so bold that such a woman dares to marry home', but on the other hand, maybe a woman is also unlucky, she wants to break free from all shackles and want to live a rich life, she just went the wrong way, and the gangster is also unlucky, maybe it can be said that he may love this woman too much, because he loves it too much, so he is reluctant to let go, but he doesn't know that he can't give her the life she wants, why should he force it? The rights and wrongs of the world are too difficult to evaluate, grievances and grievances come together, the evil fate is over, everything is over, whether a woman is happy or not now, perhaps, she does not deserve to be happy, but from the perspective of her mother, I hope she can live well, wash away the sins under her fan, and don't leave it to the child.
After the first seven days of the gangsters, one night Master and I reappeared in that natural pool, we master and apprentice will not have to worry about any suspicious water array, his resentment is not as heavy as that day, he can no longer set off such a big storm, although his body has already been salvaged ashore, but his soul is trapped under the water, that is because he died horizontally, and his soul is not separated in time, and his soul also suffers when he falls to the bottom.
Master stood on the embankment of the pond and said lightly, "Come out, let's talk", Master's voice was not loud, but I saw that the surface of the pond under the hazy night began to ripple, slowly the ripples intensified, I knew that it was about to come out, Master and I both took a few steps back, of course, this was not because of fear, but to give him space to climb ashore.
After a while, he climbed the shore with the water and grass on his head, dressed in a black robe, with a fierce and vicious appearance, and behaved very arrogantly, holding in his hand I don't know whether it was a raw chicken or a duck, and he ate it alive, and ate it bloody.
The master chuckled and said, "Stop performing, there are no outsiders here", he was exposed by the master in this way, he took a few steps back, and almost fell into the water, he lowered his head as if he was very annoyed.
"We've all heard what happened to you, it's a pity that you're still so young" He heard this, and actually returned to the appearance before his death, very energetic and handsome, but this couldn't bring him back to life.
"Didn't you keep saying that day, let our master and apprentice help you? Just because you gave way to our master and apprentice that night, I, Shao, will not sit idly by, but will help you."
He was very grateful when he heard it, and immediately knelt down for the master, and immediately cried, that grievance, that grievance, so complex emotions poured out: "I have heard the name of Master Shao for a long time, and I am grateful for my great kindness, thank you for the grace of the master's regeneration, I really shouldn't die."
He completely misunderstood what Master meant, he probably thought that as long as Master was willing to help, he would be resurrected in a few days, of course he thought so, but things often backfired.
"You misunderstood me, you can't come back to life, because your body has long been cremated and burned to ashes, and you have lost the vehicle through which you can be resurrected, do you understand what I mean?"
Obviously, this ending is unacceptable to him, but he has no choice, Master is his ending, no matter how crazy and crazy he is, it will be useless.
"Young man, don't play with your grievances, it will only speed up your demise, I have prepared two choices for you here, see how you choose"
"One, I have a 'Death Talisman' in my hand, as long as you can hold this 'Death Talisman' for three years of loneliness, after three years, you can follow the guidance of this Death Charm to the Yin City and practice the matter of creation and reincarnation!"
"Two, if you don't want to choose this first option, you can't stay under the water of this pond, I can beat you to ashes in an instant, don't believe it, you can give it a try"
"Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Hahaha" The master smiled when he heard this, and said: "There are more powerful ghosts under my command who have died unjustly, not to be the one who is wrongfully killed, I Shao Xingze has always dealt with the affairs of the yang world, and only then can I do the things of accumulating yin and virtue."
"Then I'll choose the first item" I didn't expect him to give in and surrender like this, I thought you would perform like crazy for a while, crazy enough to choose this first item, who knows, he is quite self-aware, he may be afraid, after a long time, the first item has no choice.
"Okay, but I warn you, this 'Death Talisman' is a good thing, it can take you on the road of reincarnation after three years, but a good thing has two sides, if you dare to go ashore and harm the people within these three years, this 'Death Talisman' will become the simplest 'Broken Corpse Breaking Talisman', even if it is so simple, it will instantly turn you into nothing, so that you can't even make a single speck of dust in this world"
"Okay, I promise, I'll admit it, but you thing, how can I save it, I'm afraid I'll destroy it if I put it under the water."
"Then it's your own business, I think you're a smart man, come, take it" Master reached out and handed the talisman into his hand.
He took it and bowed deeply to the master, he did not kneel down perhaps because he was not satisfied with this ending, the master looked at me and smiled disapprovingly, and finally said to him:
"When the surrounding folks come here to irrigate the fields in the summer, you have to work harder under the water, so that the water flow is stronger, and you can also help take care of the crops in the vicinity, don't let the wild boars and wolves be hungry or anything, and add more good things to yourself...... Let's go," the Master's last sentence seemed to be over, and he said so decisively.
He nodded slightly, indicating that it was clear, and when Master and I turned around, we heard him jump into the water with a 'plop', and when Master and I turned around again, the water surface of the whole pond was calm, everything here seemed so harmonious, and the moon in the sky was so bright......
