Chapter 54: The Curse
"Godman, save my daughter, I, I still have tens of thousands of dollars, I want to buy holy blood to save my daughter, please be merciful, help me this time."
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to save people, today is not the day of miracles, and I can't do anything, please go back"
It was Uncle Gu who spoke, I really didn't expect him to come, I remember that he went to Tong'an to see an old Chinese medicine doctor.
I couldn't care so much, so I hurriedly walked over and helped Uncle Gu up, and Lu Zhiqing followed closely and hugged Dandan.
Ji Fat Man was quite clever, and shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "It's okay, it's okay." Everyone can disperse. ”
As soon as the god man Dong Cheng saw us, his face suddenly changed and said, "What's the matter, why are you here again." ”
I already knew Dong Cheng's true face, so I didn't bother to deal with him at this time, but comforted Uncle Gu and said, "Uncle Gu, don't beg him." It's useless, let's find a place to rest first, I'll find a way. ”
Uncle Gu looked at me with a puzzled expression, but in order to save Dandan, he still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
Ji Fatzi's little eyes trembled twice, and he walked up to Dong Cheng and stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "I heard that you can show miracles." You can resurrect people from the dead.,It's okay to be bitten by a cobra.,Hello.,I'm the Taoist priest Ji Juhachi of Izumokan.。 ”
Dong Cheng sighed, stretched out his hand and said, "It turned out to be Daoist Ji, I don't know what Professor Zhen is looking for me?" ”
I don't know what Ji Daochang wants to do, but he should have his own countermeasures, I saw that he suddenly let go of his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it twice, and wondered: "Strange, why does it smell faintly of sulfur powder." ”
When the god Dong Cheng heard Ji Fatzi's words, his face suddenly became very ugly, and he quickly excused himself: "I'm a little unwell today, Lao Bai, send off guests." ”
Dong Cheng glared at Lao Bai before leaving, as if to warn him not to talk much, Lao Bai is an honest man, he looked at us helplessly and said: "Let's go, there is no miracle today, no one can save it, you go quickly." ”
I could see that Uncle Gu was a little unwilling, and when I saw that Dong Cheng had already walked away, he hurriedly walked to Lao Bai's side and said: "Grandpa Bai, we have known for a long time, Dong Cheng is a fake, the real god is you, can you save Dandan, she is really sick." ”
Lao Bai subconsciously glanced at Dandan, then shook his head and said, "I can't save it, no one can save it, let's go." ”
Lao Bai refused to help, Lu Zhiqing and I were very anxious, Dandan's state was very bad, and then his life may be in danger, and the only thing that can save Dandan may be Lao Bai's blood.
I walked up to Ji Fatzi and motioned him to keep an eye on Dong Cheng's movements, in case he went and returned, and prevented me from contacting Lao Bai.
I don't care if Lao Bai is willing or not, pull him to the intersection outside, he is older, I have no choice but to walk and say: "Young man, what are you doing, why are you pulling me." ”
I kept making a detour around the corner, and then I stopped, and soon Lu Zhiqing and Uncle Gu also chased after me, and the three of us surrounded Lao Bai.
I hurriedly spoke, "Grandpa Bai." Reporter Lu and I have already seen through your tricks, so there is no need for you to hide it, when performing a cobra bite before, Dong Cheng smeared sulfur powder on his hands, so there will be a strange smell, and it is actually you who is really not afraid of snake venom. ”
Lao Bai's face showed an incredible look, but he still refused to admit it: "No, no, I don't know anything." ”
I gritted my teeth and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa Bai, don't pretend, Dong Cheng has long been on the police's wanted warrant, I have already contacted the police, he can't escape, he is involved in a robbery, are you afraid that he will retaliate against you." ”
When Lao Bai heard my explanation, he hurriedly exclaimed: "You, you have notified the police, no, absolutely not, what do you want to do, as long as you don't let the police take Dong Cheng away, you can let me do anything." ”
It's strange why Lao Bai defends Dong Cheng so much. He doesn't seem to have anything to do with Dong Cheng.
But this is not the point, as long as the police catch Dong Cheng, I will know the reason sooner or later, and the key now is to save Dandan first.
I hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, we can not pursue Dong Cheng, but Grandpa Bai." Can you save Dandan first, your blood should be the real divine blood, can you save Dandan? ”
Lao Bai glanced at us, shook his head and said, "No, you all misunderstood, I'm not a god at all." My blood is not holy blood, I am just a cursed man, you, you can call me immortal. ”
At the mention of the title of immortal, Professor Zhen and I were obviously stunned for a moment, and then I immediately asked, "Grandpa Bai." Could it be that you are already immortal, immortal, this is incredible. ”
Lao Bai sighed helplessly and said, "No, you still haven't understood, I'm an immortal, that's all." It doesn't mean that I'm immortal, I'm going to get sick, I'm going to get old, but I'm not going to die, don't look at me I'm only in my seventies, in fact, my body has long been festering. I just don't die, I live in pain every day, it's a curse. ”
I looked at Lao Bai suspiciously: "Grandpa Bai, what the hell is going on, you shouldn't be like this for no reason, can you tell me." I swear, we'll keep it a secret for you. ”
Lao Bai smiled and said: "Keep secrets, I don't have any secrets to keep, I just want to die, everything is to blame for me being too greedy, I shouldn't have stolen the pills privately." Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up where we are today. ”
I know that Lao Bai has something to say, although Dandan's situation is also very urgent, but if he doesn't understand the situation, I'm afraid it won't be good for Dandan's illness.
What we have is time, so we listen patiently to what Lao Bai says. He sighed again and said: "This is already twenty-three years ago, when I was only in my forties, just in the prime of life, because I was a native of Qinghua, so I am still very familiar with this land, and suddenly one day, a young couple came to the town, in their twenties, looking like they were newly married." ”
Although I knew that Lao Bai still had something to say, I couldn't help but ask: "What young couple, do you know who they are?" ”
Lao Bai nodded and said, "Remember, what is the man's name Chen Shanhe." The woman's name is Bai Mengru, it seems to be a graduate student of the History Department of Los Angeles Associated University, I can't remember the specifics, they said that they came to study the legend of the flying immortals in our place. ”
My dad and my mom?
Damn, no, my dad and my mom came here more than 20 years ago.
I remember that there seemed to be a legend of the flying fairy in the subject left by my dad. It's just that it's not finished yet, and there is no written record left.
Lao Bai continued: "The couple needed a local to lead the way, and since they were paid quite well, I stood up at that time. ”
I asked, "What happened later, what happened later, you won't really find clues related to the legend of the Flying Immortals, right?" ”
Lao Bai sighed deeply. Nodding his head, he said: "I really don't know if it's God's eyes, or if it's my punishment, the couple really found a hidden hole, and the three of us found an altar in the cave, but the couple only found an empty bottle in the box in the middle of the altar, so they think that the legend of the flying immortals is just a lie for thousands of years." ”
Lao Bai paused. He went on to explain: "The couple checked again, and found that there seemed to be nothing of value, and then the two of them left, and before leaving, they gave me a sum of money not to tell me about the cave. ”
"And what about you, and how did you become immortal?"
Lao Bai laughed a few times self-deprecatingly, and replied: "Speaking of which, you may not believe it, the archaeological couple searched for a long time and did not find it, that is because they ignored the most obvious place, the so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place, in fact, the stone wall above the altar is engraved with the words of immortal elixir, I later secretly went back and smashed the wall with a hammer, and there was indeed a bottle hidden inside, and I took the medicine in the bottle after I went back." ”
I see, I didn't expect Lao Bai to look like a rough person, and he could still have such a careful place.
I continued to ask, "What happened to you after you took the elixir, and how did you know that the elixir really worked. ”
Lao Bai looked at us again and again, and then ripped off his clothes. What appeared in front of our eyes was really a shriveled and terrifying body.
"Then one day I went to town to buy some household goods, and on the way back I was hit by a car, which had escaped, and I was knocked into a pile of weeds on the side of the road, where there were so few people coming and going, that I thought I was going to die."
Lao Bai naturally did not die. Because he was standing in front of me alive, it seemed that he also knew that he was really taking the elixir of immortality because he found out that he was not dead.
Lao Bai paused and said: "Since then I know that I can't die, no matter how many injuries I have, I will be resurrected, at first I was quite happy, but slowly I found out that this is not a happy event at all, this is a kind of torture, it is a curse." ”
Lu Zhiqing interjected: "Curse? Grandpa Bai, immortality is the most desirable thing for human beings, why do you say that it is a curse! ”
"Yes, I don't seem to be dead, but my body is already dead, what is alive is only a shell, you can't imagine how much pain I have to endure every day, although I will be resurrected, but my pain will never go away, after so many years, I am better than dead, like a walking corpse."
