Volume 1, Ghost City of the Bone Forest_Chapter 76, Zhongtianmen

"According to you, they're all monsters, too?"

The fat man was a little surprised, pointing to the photo and asked.

"It's not completely certain, Zhongtianmen is more mysterious, in fact, many sects that have disappeared until now haven't left much information. However, according to some information I have found, Zhongtianmen was originally established by Taoist priests, but in the process of development, it began to absorb some other people in the circle. Gradually divided into different factions, with Taoism as the main faction and another part of the people with witchcraft and Gu magic as the main means. The two sides each other, but the top is the name of Zhongtianmen. After that, it was difficult to find more information, but ......"

At this time, Boss Song walked up with a smile on his face, interrupting Zhuzi's words, and after he walked away, Zhuzi continued: "In my opinion, the white-faced strange man we encountered, as well as the strange figure we saw in the underground dark river, are very likely to be the poison of the witch Gu school in the Zhongtianmen. Xuanming Temple may also be one of the strongholds of Zhongtianmen. ”

Hearing this, the fat man suddenly interjected: "I seem to have heard someone say that Xuanming Temple was built during the Qing Dynasty." At that time, the territory of Xuanming Temple was not considered Shanghai, and even Shanghai was not a big place. The people in the neighborhood are not prosperous, and there are not many people who come to burn incense, so why would someone build a temple here? Probably, it was built to cover the underground strongholds. Of course, this is my guess. ”

The fat man's speculation cannot be said to be completely unreasonable, but the truth still needs evidence to verify.

"Let's learn smarter when we explore Xuanming Temple again this time, the Lingyan sent is definitely a master, we can't be the first bird ourselves, we have to let them bear a little more." Baby, we pick up the leak, and it's okay to let the big head out. If you get one or two treasures, you will be rich. Understandable? ”

There was a hint of a wicked smile on Zhuzi's face, this was exactly what I wanted, and several people thought of it together, and began to push the cup and change the lamp, and this meal was drunk until late at night.

On the way back, I was the only one left, a little drunk, and a little staggering when I walked. There were a lot of pedestrians on the road, and when I was a little tired, I sat on the curb of the road and took a few breaths, but I heard someone next to me say, "Young man, do you have any cigarettes?" ”

I didn't think much about it, I reached out and touched my pocket, and when I was drinking, the fat man stuffed a bag of peonies into my pocket, and just took it out and sent one next to it, and shouted with a smile: "Pump!" Big peony! It's very pumping! ”

"Some people say that smoke tastes different, what do you think?"

The man asked again, I tilted my head and giggled, the wine was getting stronger and stronger, and I didn't care who was sitting next to me, and shouted, "Different tastes?" Fucking different tastes, the fucking smoke is bitter, I always hear those who smoke that this smoke is light, that smoke is thick, this smoke is good, and that smoke is in the nose. It's all fucking bullshit, if your mouth is really so smart, and you don't all go to be chefs, there will always be people who like to brag! ”

I heard the people next to me laughing, and the smoke was filling, and I didn't know if my eyes were blurred, but I always felt that the smoke around me was very thick.

And this is true, and a man must be truthful. You don't have to take soy sauce to find your own home, otherwise you will regret it. ”

His words made me a little puzzled, how can this person even know what I do, and talk about what fate he wants to talk about when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, pure nonsense.

I was about to scold with the strength of the wine, but he put his hand on my shoulder and whispered, "Don't move! ”

There seemed to be a thousand pounds of strength in this hand, and I was pressed by one of his hands and couldn't move. I looked up and tried to see the man's face clearly, but the smoke was really heavy, and I could only see a few handfuls of white beard faintly.

"The old man is here, you lonely ghosts are still taking a detour, I have a relationship with this young man today. Don't come and do ......."

He suddenly shouted loudly, saying something into the black passage in the distance, I couldn't really hear it, but I could see several figures in the black passage gradually retreating, and finally disappeared completely.

"You're on the road?"

I asked, pointing.

"Think about what you want, and I hope you can see my face clearly next time we meet."

The words disappeared coldly in my ears, and I fell into a deep sleep against the railing. It was the first time in my life that I slept on the street, it was safe, and I was a poor boy. I don't know how long I fell asleep after I was drunk, and I was woken up in a daze.

"Little comrade, little comrade!"

I opened my eyes in a daze to see a sanitation aunt in a blue overalls poking my leg with a broom.

"Ah, Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm drunk and sleepy......"

I waved my hand and staggered to my feet.

"Little comrade, you are also so powerful, you fell asleep on the road. Let's see what's missing? To be young is to be in good health, and you don't feel cold when lying on the road for a day. Come home soon......"

I fumbled in my pocket, and there was just a food stamp, a few cents, and the house key. Scratching his head, he walked home with an empty and somewhat uncomfortable stomach.

Early in the morning, the house was very quiet, and I sneaked into my room. A twenty-year-old boy was still a child in the eyes of his parents, and I lay on my bed, looking at the white ceiling, and suddenly my pajamas disappeared. Was it a dream last night? Did I hit the Immortals? Regardless of this adventure, the old man kept asking me, but it kept haunting my mind.

Do you want to be a soy sauce maker for the rest of your life? Prepare to be in a daze every day in that small store, or become like everyone else to chat, so as to spend your life in vain.

Whether it's adventuring in the jungle or escaping in the underground river, even if you die, your heart is like a demon to pursue. If you can't face yourself properly, you will never improve. My drowsiness had completely subsided in my thoughts, and I sat up abruptly and looked at the mirror on the cupboard, where my face was reflected. It's really young, and I'm still like a student, and if I go to university or technical secondary school, I'm still a student. There were blue overalls and brown sleeves on the table, and I looked like a store worker.

People change because of what they wear, and when I put on that torn leather coat with a few holes, I am full of confidence and dreams, and that is the clothes I want to choose.

Slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and had a decision in mind!

Ten minutes later, my dad got up for morning exercise, and at a glance he saw me standing in the living room, and said a little strangely: "Don't sleep for a while on Saturday, I wake up so early." ”

But soon his eyes fell on the bag behind me, and he frowned and said, "What? Do you want to go to the field with Cui Zhen again? You're a workman now, don't run around every day. Go to work to make money steadily, marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby in a few years. ”

"Dad, I don't want to work in the store department anymore."

I said, tugging at the strap of my backpack.

My dad was stunned, looking at me with some anger in his eyes, in fact, I was naughty when I was a child, and the teachers at school couldn't control it, and I dared to fight with children three or four years older than me outside. The only one who can suppress me is my dad, and when I see him angry, I feel a little weak.

"What's wrong? Can't hold on anymore? How nice that unit is! State-owned enterprises, iron rice bowls, will not worry about food and clothing in the future, and can rely on the state for a lifetime. Don't listen to those messy atmospheres outside, saying that you can become a 10,000 yuan household in a year as a self-employed person, that's all nonsense. ”

He said with a wave of his hand.

"Dad...... "I actually want to tell the truth, but when the words come to my mouth, I hold it back, do I tell him that I have to fight the earth beast every day, and every time it is nine deaths?" Didn't the fuck stick a knife in his heart? I couldn't do this kind of thing, so after thinking about it, I decided to lie and said, "I got a travel agency with the fat man, and I specially received the government team from Beijing and Nanjing to visit the border." The money came quickly, and it was also the imperial food to eat. I want to do this, you know, I can't sit still at home. Is it done? ”

He looked at me, my father, who had gray temples, had not spoken for a long time, I don't know if he saw through my lie, but in the end he waved his hand and said, "After lunch, I will leave, and I will make dumplings at noon today." ”

It was many years before he said that to me.

"Stinky boy, you always bite your lip when you lie, so I know every time."
