One day, the old wizard will be buried, I originally wanted to wait until tomorrow morning to send this old man on his last journey, and also wait for my brother Li Lin to return home and then go to the provincial capital, but the current situation no longer allows me to continue to wait, so I can only leave two days early.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, time is running out. I hope to find the old man before this, and at the same time, let Yan Puppet have a result, at least let the whole family live in peace and ease for a year, so if you leave one day earlier, you can buy one more day, and the safety of your family can be guaranteed.

As for this old man who was kind to me, who was still thinking about me when he was dying, and alerted me in time, he was already guilty of him anyway, and it could not be erased by participating in sending him on the last journey, so I should feel a little more guilty so that I can remember it fiercely.

Came to Pan Changhong's house again, the huge courtyard has completely set up a tent, inside and outside the mourning hall, on both sides of the gate, on both sides of the courtyard wall, are hung with couplets, and the portraits of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, the rope is also hung with hand-copied scriptures, the Jade Emperor sits in the middle of the incense, and then on the top, it is the supreme god of the three Qings.

At this time, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and after staying up day and night, whether it was the main family or the husband, or the suona craftsman sitting outside the door, they were all tired, so at this moment when the sky was about to dawn, the scene had temporarily restored the quiet, and most of the people who kept vigil had been lying down or leaning on the past, and only a young gentleman was dressed in Taoist clothes, sitting at the offering table in front of the coffin, silently reciting the Sutra of Transcendence.

At this time, in addition to the tight time, it is to be clean and easy to speak. Seeing me walk into the mourning hall, the gentleman who was reciting the sutra paused for a moment and nodded lightly, then closed his eyes slightly and continued to recite his Sutra of Transcendence.

Pan Changhong, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, had already fallen asleep against the wall on the right side of the coffin, and it was not until I bowed to the old wizard after giving incense to him that I woke up in a daze.

"Coming?" Seeing that it was me, Pan Changhong hurriedly rubbed his eyes, which were bloodshot because he had stayed up all night, so that he could sober up, get up and ask in a low voice.

I nodded slightly, and for a moment, I didn't know how to open the conversation.

"Do you want to see your Grand Duke? This should be the last look. Fortunately, Pan Changhong also knew my intention, patted the grass clippings and incense ash on his shoulder, and said softly.

"Okay, then I'm sorry for you, Uncle Changhong." I came here mainly to see the old wizard for the last time, so I naturally have no objection.

"Why do you say those kind words, I can still worry about you at this time, I should thank you." Pan Changhong showed a reassuring smile and said, although he couldn't go over in person, he still knew everything about what happened in my house last night.

As I spoke, Pan Changhong and I held hands together and gently pushed the lid of the coffin down a bit, revealing the face of the old wizard lying inside.

Although five full days have passed, and it has not been put into the ice coffin, the old wizard's face still does not seem to have any signs of corruption, just like the night when he first breathed, and even as the corpse has completely cooled down, the cells have died, and the original dark face before his death has become a little whiter, but it is not bloodless and pale at all, and there is obviously some difference, under the illumination of the light, it is actually a little clean and sacred, and there is no cold and cruel feeling of the corpse.

Although to a certain extent, there are factors such as the cold weather and the prolonged decomposition of corpses, I clearly know that this is not the main reason, but because the old wizard has "jadeized".

This is a sign that only after death will appear after death for those who have accumulated good deeds and completed merits, or for those who have attained great attainment, and have little to do with climatic conditions. It should be noted that the "jade" person is not that the body is not rotten, but the process of corruption is different from ordinary people, and will not expand the corpse water, nor will maggots, will not be bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants, no matter where it is buried, even if it is soaked in water, it will only slowly wither and eventually turn into dust, but will not decay.

If it is cremated, there is a high probability that it will be "turned into a pill", which is what Buddhism often calls "relics".

In other words, just as the general's soul said, the old wizard has really transcended the mortal world and entered the Heavenly Dao.

Looking at the face of such an old wizard, I was in awe, and at the same time, my heart became more and more ashamed of my previous suspicion that this old man was behind the scenes.

After a long time, he gradually detached himself from his complicated thoughts, and after one last glance at the old man, he gently pushed the lid of the coffin shut.

"Uncle Changhong, I'm going to go out, so I shouldn't be able to send the Grand Duke on his last journey, I hope you can forgive me." After taking a breath, putting away my thoughts, and looking away from the coffin, I whispered.

"When are you leaving?" Pan Changhong nodded lightly and asked, obviously not surprised that I was leaving, otherwise I wouldn't have said it just now, this should be the last word.

With his father's death and eternal death, he can be regarded as officially inheriting his father's mantle, and some things can be roughly felt even if he doesn't have to deliberately calculate.

I thought about it, and if nothing happened to me, I would leave in the morning.

"Is it so rushed? You shouldn't have closed your eyes for two days and two nights, even if you are in a hurry, you should take a rest first, take a better breath before leaving. As soon as he heard that he would leave in the morning, Pan Changhong was suddenly a little surprised.

"It doesn't matter much, anyway, it's a car everywhere you go, not walking, and it's not too late to rest in the car." I said with a soft smile.

Pan Changhong couldn't see the bitterness in my smile, and he was speechless for a while, and after being silent for half a minute, he sighed slightly and said: "Since this is the case, then you can rest assured to deal with things, there is no need to worry about it at home, I will do my best to help you take care of something." ”

I hurriedly nodded earnestly in thanks.

After going outside the door and talking a few more, I was ready to go home.

Just as he was about to leave, Mr. Qian also walked out of the room next to him, which had been quiet, and said to me: "Young man, you have to concentrate on doing things, since you have decided to go out to deal with your affairs, then concentrate on doing it, don't be distracted and worry about your family, your family has its own natural appearance, everything will be fine, if you are not at ease, and you don't dislike it, after the old man of the Pan family is in the ground, Shi Shusheng and I can go to your house to eat and drink for a few days until you come back." ”

I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, only to find that Shi Shusheng and the others in the room did not take the break to catch up on sleep, but were all looking at me in the room.

Originally, I didn't plan to trouble them too much, so I didn't bother, but seeing them take the initiative to help at this time, I was inevitably a little moved for a while.

I didn't say much more politely, and after expressing my gratitude to the old gentleman and others, I left.

At this moment, my heart was light, and I truly believed that both my family and myself could get through this difficult time.

To be able to get such a meeting in Pingshui, and without exception are still elders, what else do I have to worry about?

Even if you are facing a strange and unpredictable golem, and the master behind this monster, what about it?

When I got home, my dad didn't sleep and realized that I was leaving, so when I proposed that I want to go to the provincial capital, talk to that colleague to settle the matter, and at the same time take the old man back for the New Year, he agreed without much hesitation.

So two hours later, I walked out of the house with my bags on my back, got into the car of Pan Guanglong, who came to see me off, and rushed to the county seat.

It didn't take long for dawn for my mother to wake up, and she didn't have that kind of dream anymore, she was entangled by the puppet who incarnated me and Zhang Xiaowei's "daughter", and my grandfather's injury was quite stable, and he looked much more awake than before, plus there were so many people, and Xiao Qinghe's white-faced scholar, and even the help of the general's soul, I don't think I have any worries, and I don't need to worry too much about my family.

An hour later, I got off the train in front of the new bus station in the county, just said a few goodbyes to Pan Guanglong, and was about to enter the station to buy a ticket to get on the train, a brand new blue BYD Song MAX appeared on the street and hurriedly drove over here.

Before he came back to his senses, he braked in front of me and stopped, almost hitting Pan Guanglong's butt, and then my dad got out of the car, waved at me and said, "What else to buy, I'll go with you." ”

"Dad...... How did you catch up? Looking at my father, who was smiling a little strangely, I was a little stunned, and it took me a while to react.

My dad smiled: "Why else, go with you to pick up your master and come back for the New Year, by the way, I will meet your fellow traveler, and see how dare he chase him to the house to retaliate against people!" ”

Seeing his heroic appearance, I was even more stunned.

Obviously, I said it well, but I went out with my front foot and chased after me with my back foot, and there is no doubt that this is absolutely abnormal.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and said with a headache: "Dad, don't make trouble, there are so many things at home, grandpa and mom need to be taken care of, you and I left together, what should I do at home?" Who will take care of grandpa and mom? So don't make a mess and wait at home for me to come back, okay? ”

"Don't worry, your mother has nothing to do, your second aunt will come to accompany her later, and your grandfather will also have a few uncles to take care of them, we have already discussed, since they have all come back, just don't leave again, put down the things in hand for the time being, and talk about the New Year together, at most tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, your sisters and brothers will come back to reunite in advance, so there is no need to worry about things at home."

"That'...... What did you say to my mom? He agrees that you will go with me? "Well, all of a sudden, there were so many changes, and I couldn't help but start to get confused.

My dad smiled and said, "It's your mother who asked me to go with you, Gua Wazi, it's really so easy to deceive your parents?" The affairs of your peers are not as easy to handle as you say, and besides this, there are other troubles, right? Your mother was worried that you wouldn't be able to solve it alone, so she asked me to go with you......"

……

……

There must be a demon when things go wrong, after this incident at home, my dad didn't laugh much, and suddenly chased to the county seat, laughing so "domineering and exposed", thinking with his feet, he knew that something was definitely wrong, so naturally he didn't dare to agree, and asked him to accompany me to the provincial capital.

Even I believe that he and my mother must have guessed something, and even the old man is not in the provincial capital, I am afraid that they have already guessed, so they want to accompany me on a trip.

But the reason why I left home was because I didn't want to trouble them, so how dare I agree?

After all his efforts, he almost turned his face, and wanted Pan Guanglong to help, tied people up and forcibly brought them back, so he finally persuaded my father to wait for me at home with peace of mind.

Although this will inevitably make my father sad, there is nothing else I can do.

This time the opponent is extremely difficult to deal with, the puppet that has surfaced is just a tool and puppet for people, and I even have a strong feeling that this person will be the biggest enemy of my life, and every word and deed is under its control, otherwise there will be no desperate bets to lead it away from my family's idea, once I let my dad follow, it will become a breakthrough for the other party, my weakness, so where dare to agree.

It's only been two months since I came back, but now that I'm back in the provincial capital again, I have a little bit of things and people, and I also have a strange feeling about the city that I have lived in for more than ten years.

The whereabouts of the old man Yuan Jinzhu are unknown, Luo Wenxin does not know whether he is alive or dead, and even in his villa, the little nanny who usually looks harmless to people and animals has suddenly become, like a poisonous snake and ghost hiding in a dark corner, leaning out and biting people at any time, which makes people feel uneasy......

"Hey, little brother wake up, it's time to get to the place, don't sleep~~" In a daze, I only heard a vague and impatient voice, coming from the darkness of nothingness, and at the same time there seemed to be a hand, shaking my shoulder from time to time, and patting my face from time to time.

I opened my eyes with difficulty and found that my hair was shaved and shiny, but the driver's uncle, who had a full beard, was shaking me a little helplessly and impatiently.

"I'll go, I'm finally awake, I'm really sleeping." Before I could see the person clearly, the voice of the bus driver came to my ears again.

"Little brother, what's the matter with you? How many days have you not slept in? Look at you like this, you don't look like a penniless and homeless person, don't be a big New Year, where are you gambling and gambling and playing for several days, and you will sleep and die when you get in the car, right? If it weren't for the breath, we would almost think you were dead, ready to report 120~~"

didn't say much, rubbed his face as if he had put on a layer of things, how uncomfortable he was, wiped his eyes and squeezed out a smile, got off the train with his bags on his back, went to the faucet in a public place to wash his face, and after sobering himself up, he strode out of the station.
