Chapter Twenty-Four: Peeling the Cocoon I
How could it be an empty coffin? Am I mistaken, this tomb is not buried with my father? Or is there something wrong that left only an empty coffin here?
Or is it that the bead is not what I see? An empty coffin is just an illusion?
I didn't know what to do in my mind, Lei Fang pulled my sleeve: "Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, what's wrong with you?" β
I didn't have a clue and just said, "It's okay......"
To know if this is really an empty coffin underneath, it is very simple, and you can tell when you dig it up.
But I only felt cold in my hands and feet, and as soon as the word came to my mind, I immediately rejected it.
No, how can I do that.
Lei Fang said to himself: "It's really strange, how can someone be buried in the house." You say, "Who is buried here?" β
"Perhaps...... No one, maybe. β
Lei Fang nodded: "Then why did my grandfather dig this?" What is he looking for? Hey, why don't we dig it up and take a look? β
"No!"
I found that my tone was too rough and my voice was too loud, so I swallowed a mouthful of water and said slowly, "The matter of digging up people's graves...... We can't do it. β
"You're so stupid." Lei Fang looked at me with a gaze that hated iron but not steel: "We are in a dream!" In a dream! It's not really going to dig people's graves. Digging and digging in dreams is not lacking in virtue. β
Ah, yes...... It's in a dream.
But even if it's a dream, I can't make it.
Lei Fang hugged me: "Little girl, are you afraid?" It's okay, you stand out of the way, I'll do it. β
"No, no, don't." I took her hand and shook my head violently.
"Really, what's there to be afraid of......"
The two of us were pulling on the rockery, and suddenly my feet were empty. The whole person fell backwards. Lei Fang was stunned for a moment, and then jumped down.
The wind was howling in my ears, and all I could hear was a plop, and the man had fallen into the pool.
"Xiao Sheng!"
I woke up suddenly, and Lei Fang beside me also woke up.
The panic on her face was still there, and she held my hand tightly: "Are you okay?" Falling? β
I fixed my mind and forced a smile: "It was a dream just now, how can you count in a dream." β
I looked at her, she looked at me, and I was stunned.
We both got wet from head to toe. Lei Fang's hair was still dripping, and the clothes on my body were all transparent and clinging to my body, it was almost ...... It's like a chicken that has just fallen into the water and been fished up. The futon and pillows were all wet......
Even if you sweat with nightmares. How is it possible to sweat so much? Even if a woman is made of water, if she sweats so much, we will both become two withered human skins.
Lei Fang said dryly: "Who poured water into our bed?" β
I didn't know that when I turned my head to look at the table, the candle I lit hadn't burned yet. In our dreams, we tossed and turned for a long time in the dark night, heavy snow and falling water, and it was not even an hour that had passed.
We got up to dry ourselves out of the water, and there was no extra clothes for us to change into. When it was cleaned up, the drowsiness was gone.
Fortunately, this dream freed Lei Fang from the pain of depression - though not completely. But what she is entangled with now is no longer the destruction of Leijiazhuang and the disappearance of Lei Fen, but what the owner of Lei Zhuang went to the ruins of the back mountain to dig up a few years ago.
I'm struggling with the same issue.
And. The Phantom Pearl actually has this effect? Can you see through layers of earth and rock?
No wonder my father said that this was an extremely important thing, and that it was especially useful for those who practiced illusion.
I held it up in front of my eyes. Look at those two dripping beads.
Lei Fang squinted: "Don't look at that, it's dizzy." β
I put the beads away solemnly, and remembered that Yao Zhengyan and my master had talked about something in the opposite room, and whether they had finished talking.
I pushed open the first window, and the window on the other side was still lit.
Lei Fang didn't know yet. It was the owner of Lei Zhuang who killed Yao's family, and he didn't know that Yao Zhengyan was now in the opposite wing not a few feet away from us.
"That's right. Are you going back to Leijiazhuang tomorrow? That goose senior looks a little fierce, but not as kind as you say. β
"If people turn their backs on you, they will blame you."
I poured tea for Lei Fang, and she looked at the tea for a while: "Actually, now that I think about it, grandpa is not close to me, and it is better to be with my sister." I've been in my grandfather's study twice before, and I've never been in again. I don't think it's boring to have to play chess and raise birds......"
I found a set of bedding from the cupboard and changed it, but I couldn't sleep anymore. It took a lot of effort to fall asleep just now, and when I lay down, I only felt that my whole body was sore, I slept in the bed, Lei Fang slept outside the bed, and kept tossing and turning all night, and it was easy to stay up until morning, and both of them had dark circles under their eyes. After breakfast, we set off again, and sure enough, we went back to Leijiazhuang. I don't know how the Ding family sisters and the people from Linshanmen cooked Leijiazhuang, it's not that burying the corpse is a matter - this matter is very troublesome, those guests and relatives who come for the joy of the Lei family, their families will inevitably come to the door, and the trouble will be endless at that time. I'm afraid that in the next few years, more than ten years, there will be no peaceful days.
I didn't see Yao Zhengyan, and I didn't look for Jigong to ask Shigong where he went.
Leijiazhuang was built in the middle of the mountain, looking up at the foot of the mountain, I only felt that this place was no longer as majestic as it used to be, lifeless, like a beast that had swallowed air, only a skeleton was left there.
Yan San'er's face sank, and I heard him curse in a low voice.
What's going on?
In the past two days, Lei Fang and I have been like frightened birds, accidents one after another, and we are now a little numb. It's all come to this, how can it be worse?
I suddenly remembered that when we left, Shigong and Yan San'er asked them to burn the corpses, although it was a very vicious thing to say that the bones did not exist, but those people died of Gu poison, and there would inevitably be some consequences. But now it seems, didn't they burn? Or maybe it's too late?
Gu poison is such a thing...... It sounds creepy. If it really spreads againβLei Fang and I glanced at each other, and from the look in her eyes with fear and horror, I knew that the two of us wanted to go together.
The door was open, and a disciple of Linshan Gate stood in front of the door, but after a day and a night's work, he looked angry and corrupt, and when he saw Yan San'er, he even forgot about his fear. Stared at him.
"What's wrong? What about the others? How's things going? Yan San'er glanced at him.
The disciple's voice was hoarse when he spoke, and there was an unruly light in his eyes: "We are just passing by, and we don't owe you by killing you, so why persecute people like this!" β
Yan San'er was not a good-natured person, but at this time he suppressed his temper: "Why didn't you burn?" If the person who dies in the Gu is not burned, do you know what will happen? β
The person named Jiang Hui came out of it, Ding Xiajun was a step away from him, and also walked out, she looked haggard and had two big dark circles under her eyes. It looks like it's been a bit of a long time.
Jiang Hui hurriedly stopped in front of the disciple and explained to Yan San'er: "Senior Yan, please don't be angry, young people are not sensible. Don't be like him. We started working yesterday after you were gone, but by the time it was dark, we hadn't moved all the bodies in one place......" He paused and said in embarrassment, "and...... There are already people in Chen's family, and they are resolutely unwilling to burn them down......"
Yan San'er frowned: "What about them?" β
I don't think it's difficult to do, as long as Yan San'er comes out. Not to mention one Chen senior, ten are also burned.
"They ......," Jiang Hui said dryly, "they have already taken the body with them yesterday......"
I seemed to hear a buzzing sound in my ears, and I almost didn't stumble.
No, it's not that I'm hallucinating, there is indeed a buzzing sound, it's Yan San'er's hand. He waved his hand sideways, and his fist wind smashed the door of the Lei family into a dent. These two doors are not known to be copper or iron, and they are more than two feet thick. Solid. But Yan San'er hit it in the air this time, and it turned out that the door was concave and deformed.
Yan San'er strode in, and the master instructed me: "You deal with it, don't let people come in again." β
I nodded yes, and Lei Fang didn't ask until his master walked away, "Why don't people come in." β
"It's easy. You've forgotten which faction we're on. β
"Right...... I'm confused. β
I set up a blindfold at the door, and Lei Fang's eyes widened. Watching the gate slowly disappear, many trees and rocks appeared out of thin air, and their mouths opened and couldn't close.
"Well, it's impossible for ordinary people to come in."
"Then, can a master still get in?"
"If you want to have such a master, that is, my master and senior Yan will deal with it, and it has nothing to do with you and me."
Lei Fang nodded and said, "This is also ......"
She looked around her with a strange feeling, as if this was not her familiar home, and I was afraid that she would be depressed again, so I hurriedly pulled her by the hand and spoke to distract her.
"I'm afraid this matter is very bad, the Chen family took the body away, and it was a big trouble."
Lei Fang nodded: "Yes, in case that Gu poison will harm people, I don't know how many innocent beings will suffer." This poison is so powerful that even the fish and birds at home can't escape - you say, how did this poison come about? β
I don't know, but I'm thinking a little more than Lei Fang.
The poison is powerful enough to make everyone mention it, burning it is the only and best way, does the Chen family really not understand? Or do you have other plans to take the corpse?
I can't help but think of a gossip when several brothers and sisters got together, and one of them talked about what happened in their hometown in the past. Someone in the village went up the mountain and accidentally ate the poisonous flower and died, but after the news spread, someone came from a distance and asked the villagers to lead the way, and went up the mountain to dig up the poisonous flower by the roots-
If it's a good thing, it can satisfy the stomach and cure the disease, which is naturally nothing. But it's this kind of harmful thing, and some people are still flocking to it. The family took the body, what could they do? What will be done?
I really hope that they cherish their loved ones and want to be buried properly. But if that's the case, why leave in a hurry? Even if they leave, don't they want to find out who the enemy is, and don't they want Lei Jiazhuang to give an explanation?
