"What! Didn't the substitute puppet just now help Uncle Shi prevent the disaster? Why is there still danger? Old blind man, did you make a fake puppet for Lao Tzu! ”

Yichen's originally somewhat stretched face was tense again, and a pair of 'rat eyes' suddenly stared bigger than the copper bell, glaring at Old Man Lu as if he was about to breathe fire.

Old man Lu was also yelled at, squinted his eyes and bared his teeth, and said gloomily: "I warn you, it's okay to say I'm blind, and I can bear to scold me for being an old thing." But if you say that what I made is fake, don't blame me for being rude to you. ”

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, I hurriedly stood in the middle and persuaded: "Two seniors, it doesn't seem that this is the time to quarrel, the matter of Yufeng's seniors has not been resolved." ”

Yichen turned his head to look at Yufeng, who was still fainting, and snorted angrily: "Since the retribution for the calamity is not over, then be a puppet again." ”

Old man Lu rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "The substitute puppet is not an ordinary puppet, and you don't know it." Something that goes against the sky can only be used once in a short period of time. I didn't expect that Yufeng would encounter such a powerful retribution for the calamity this time, and it would come so quickly. ”

Yichen was about to go crazy when he heard this, but then he should have remembered something, and stomped his feet helplessly and angrily, and his triangular face was red because of anger.

"I thought that a substitute puppet would be able to help him prevent the retribution of the disaster, but I didn't expect it to work. It seems ......" Old man Lu kept rubbing his cheeks with a pair of dirty hands, muttering to himself.

I was a little desperate, but when I heard his words, it seemed that there was a turning point, so I hurriedly asked, "Senior, is there any other way?" ”

Old man Lu closed his eyes, licked his chapped lips and said: "Retribution is not as simple as catching ghosts and eliminating demons, and it is a thing against the sky for the puppet to replace the victim to resist the disaster, so it can only be used once in a lifetime." But ......"

Old man Lu almost announced Yufeng's death sentence in one sentence, but in the end, after saying 'but', he suddenly stopped talking and moved his gaze to me, with an extremely strange expression.

Now it's not only Yichen, but even I can't help but be angry, how can this one-eyed old man be the same as Yichen, and he has also learned to play tricks and sell his secrets.

And it also picks the key time!

"Senior, can you finish it in one sentence. Human life is at stake, can you stop selling it? I stared at him coldly, gritted my teeth, and forced myself to suppress the anger in my heart that did not erupt.

Old man Lu laughed twice, looked at me and said, "But with you, it is also doomed to Yufeng's life." ”

"Me?"

"Xiao Zheng?"

Yichen and I were surprised at the same time, and the two of them stared at each other with big eyes, and both saw each other's shock.

"That's right, if you want to save him, you need to kill him first."

As soon as these words came out, I was even more confused.

Save him? Kill him?

Did I have auditory hallucinations or did this old man have a problem with his mind?

Old man Lu grinned, looked at me with strange eyes and said, "Aren't you a ghost doctor, why don't you even understand the third phase of death?" ”

"What? Death Phase III? ”

I was really stunned, my medical skills were originally halfway to a monk, and the little medical knowledge I learned in college had already been returned to the teacher.

The most important thing is that there doesn't seem to be such a professional term in the medical field, right?

Old man Lu shook his head and sighed: "Hey, forget it, I'll give you a brief explanation." ”

Old man Lu lit a cigarette, took a sharp puff and explained: "Human death is generally divided into three stages, the near-death period, the death period and complete death. During the dying period, the person will enter a deep coma, that is, a coma that is even deeper than the current Jade Wind. At this stage, many people will mistakenly think that the person has died, but for people with precision instruments or medical skills, it can still be detected.

As for the second stage of death, the person's breathing and heartbeat will stop completely, without any life characteristics. No matter who it is, even if you have the ability to go through the sky, you can't find out. It's just that this state can only last for a maximum of fifteen minutes, and if fifteen minutes have passed and the person has not been rescued, then the person ...... will really die. ”

After a pause, a fine light shot out of his eyes, and he stared at me with a serious face and said, "What you have to do is to press the vagus nerve on Yufeng's neck hard at the moment when the calamity falls in the night, so that his major artery will be injured and he will directly enter the stage of death." In this way, we will deceive the heavens and hide from the world. ”

After Old Man Lu finished speaking, Yichen and I were stunned in place, and after a while, Yichen shuddered suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "This...... This will ...... Okay? ”

I also looked at Old Man Lu with a look of disbelief, his words were really hard to believe......

"If you don't do this, then Yufeng will die 100%, and there is a half chance of surviving it. If I hadn't worked as a carpenter all my life, and my hands and feet would not have been able to shine, I wouldn't have had to let this kid take this risk. ”

Yichen turned his head to look at the unconscious Yufeng, struggled for a long time, and finally took a few breaths and said to me: "Xiao Zheng, uncle, he ...... Please. ”

I have no idea at this time, I can only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, after all, if I don't do this, Yufeng's life will really be in danger.

Half of the reason why he was in this danger was because he used the method of transfer, and the other half was because he wanted to save me......

"Two seniors, I will save the Yufeng seniors!"

I'm not an indecisive person, and I cut it out at the moment, and at the same time added in my heart: even if I fight for my life.

Old man Lu threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, and said solemnly: "There are still about four hours left in the ion time, so let's get ready." ”

After speaking, he looked up at the door again, and muttered to himself: "Hehe, with Tiandou, with Tiandou......"

I looked at his one eye and noticed that a tear came out of the corner of his eye, and the depths of his eyes were full of longing and sorrow.

The atmosphere in the room was a little oppressive, and I just thought of a question, so I diverged and asked:

"By the way, Senior Lu, if people's death will go through these three stages, then why don't so many people save him when they enter the second stage?"

Old man Lu retracted his gaze, returned to his previous seriousness, blinked his eyes and said: "Then there are many reasons, first, few people know about the third phase of death; The second is that the deceased's life has arrived, and there is no way to save it. ”

After a pause, he continued, "But there are a few exceptions......

Old man Lu seemed to be addicted to smoking as soon as he spoke, took out the crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, lit another one, and continued:

"The period of death is actually equivalent to stepping on the Huangquan Road with one foot, and some people are very lucky, after entering this stage, they will not die and come back to life.

After he lived, he claimed that he had been to the underworld, and he was able to draw the appearance of the underworld. However, it is difficult to produce one out of hundreds of millions of such people, so once it reaches this stage, it can basically be sentenced to death. ”

I nodded suddenly, I have seen news like this before, but at that time I thought that someone was promoting superstition to attract attention, but I didn't expect it to be true.

But I thought of another question, Old Man Lu is a carpenter who makes coffins, how can he know this?

Thinking like this in his heart, he unconsciously asked: "Senior Lu, ...... you How do you know so much? ”

Who knew that when Old Man Lu heard this, it was as if he had been immobilized, he was stunned, and his hand holding the cigarette was raised in the air and stopped instantly, with a burst of complicated emotions in his eyes.

I wasn't stupid, I immediately reacted that this was the wrong question, so I had to apologize in embarrassment: "That, senior, I'...... Am I ...... Uh, I'm sorry. ”

Old man Lu reacted, smiled bitterly, waved his hand lightly, sighed, and said, "It's okay, it's been decades, and I've seen it a long time ago." ”

Only afterwards did I know how tragic Old Man Lu's previous experience was......
