Chapter 38: Ashes

That night, everyone except me seemed to be sleeping soundly. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะžะœ.

Especially the old man, the snoring never stopped.

I was indeed a little surprised to see him sleeping so soundly, didn't he have a little psychological burden?

Although the contradiction between Wang Shenghai and us is not small, and it has indeed reached the point of life and death, killing people is still killing people after all.

The old man behaved so calmly, he was just like ........ He wasn't that kind of person in my memory!

Could it be that this is the true face of the old man?

Thinking of this, I didn't feel scared, I just felt that the old man was hiding too deeply.

For so many years, I had always thought that he was an ordinary old man, and it was not an exaggeration to describe him as harmless to humans and animals, but now I can see it.

The people in the industry call him the Living Hades, and it's really not wrong.

......................

The next morning, the old man woke up and began to urge us to go down the mountain.

said that it was too uncomfortable in the mountains, as if it was a pain, and it was not good to eat or sleep well, so it would be tossed like this for a few more days........

"How many lives do I have to give?"

The old man held a cigarette in his mouth and kept beating his waist: "You juniors are young and not afraid of being tired, but I can't, no matter how I say it, I'm .........."

Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Zhou Zhiguo asked him: "Is everything on the mountain dealt with?" โ€

"Why don't you go and see?"

"Master Shen! Is the body of the Five Blessings still there?! Chen Qiuyan's eyes widened and asked expectantly.

When I heard this, I suddenly reacted to something.

The five blessings that broke out of the coffin were destroyed by me with a knife, and although its 'flesh' body was somewhat damaged, it was not to the point of being wiped out.......

The old man said at the beginning that if you want to get rid of the five blessings, you must first dispel the soul of the wronged, and after getting rid of it, the 'flesh' body will naturally die out until it becomes a small gray ash in the ground.

But I remember that after the five blessings were killed by me, they simply fell down, and there was not much change.

Could it be that the old man lied to me??

"Yes."

The old man took a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at Chen Qiuyan, and replied: "It's just turned into ashes, if you think it's useful, you can take some back to do research." โ€

Hearing this, Chen Qiuyan seemed to be unwilling, and asked the old man a few times to make sure that there was no danger on the mountain, so Zhou Zhiguo led the way back to the place of the incident.

Since Sun Xiaowu hadn't woken up yet, this time, only Zhou Zhiguo and Chen Qiuyan went up.

The old man and I sat in the rear to take care of the wounded, and we were able to have breakfast by the way.

"Master, those corpses of the Five Blessings have really not been preserved?" I asked cautiously.

"Nope." The old man nodded and asked me, "Do you think I'm lying to you?" โ€

I turned my face sideways to make sure that Sun Xiaowu hadn't woken up, so I asked: "That five blessings were killed by me with a knife mountain, and after the soul was scattered, the 'flesh' body still existed, and it didn't turn into ashes at all, what's going on?" โ€

"It takes a certain amount of time for the 'flesh' body to die and decay." The old man said very calmly, without concealing my meaning: "After the five blessings and evil souls are scattered, within two to three hours, the 'flesh' body will not be damaged, and beyond this time, the 'flesh' body will gradually disappear.......

As soon as the words fell, the old man snuffed out the cigarette butt and said with a smile: "They go up the mountain at this time, if they can find the corpse of the five blessings, then there will be ghosts!" โ€

"Why didn't you say it yesterday?" I cautiously asked, "Are you deliberately not wanting them to find the corpse of the Five Blessings?" โ€

Hearing this, the old man looked at me deeply and did not speak.

"Why?" I asked.

"The five blessings are the suffering ghosts that the suffering people become." The old man sighed: "You can't be glorious in life, you can't die well when you die, and you can't say that your 'flesh' body is refined into an array of eyes, and you can't even reincarnate your soul......."

"Reincarnated ........" I was stunned: "Master....... Did we hurt them? โ€

"It's not." The old man said helplessly: "The souls of the five blessings are not complete, even if no one disperses their souls, these unjust souls will not be reincarnated." โ€

I sighed, didn't say anything more, and listened quietly.

"If it's an ordinary evil ghost, then I don't want to care about it, but these five blessings are more special." The old man smiled bitterly: "You can't die well in life, and you have to let people study it when you die, do you think it's appropriate?" โ€

"It's dead and it's dead, the 'flesh' body is just a stinky skin, why ........"

"In your opinion, it doesn't matter." The old man glanced at me and said, "But in my opinion, there are some things that I should do in my heart, so it is better not to do them." โ€

"It seems that the new generation of penicillin is out of use again." I shrugged my shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"Penicillin?" The old man sneered: "It is not scientific to take the things on the body of the dead to improve the 'flesh' of the living. โ€

I nodded, but didn't speak.

"What's more, the Chinese are already good (hao fourth tone) to make up, if the dead are really so useful, the gentleman in the line will have become an immortal long ago." The old man said disdainfully.

Just when the old man was talking to me about this, Zhou Zhiguo and Chen Qiuyan came back, and the words disappointed were written on their faces.

"Convinced?" The old man asked.

Zhou Zhiguo sighed, nodded and said that he believed it.

"This time it's white........ Chen Qiuyan said with a bitter face, holding a transparent plastic bottle in his hand, which was filled with black 'colored' powder, and said with a sad face: "The mold has not been found, so I can only take these ashes and go, the task will definitely not be completed........

"Those are not ashes." The old man reminded: "That's what the filth melts into the flesh and bones, you'd better not touch it directly with your hands, it's easy to have an accident." โ€

"Don't worry, Master Shen, when we took these samples, we were all wearing gloves." Zhou Zhiguo said.

Suddenly, Chen Qiuyan walked up to the old man and looked at him very seriously.

"Master Shen, there should be many other places like this, right?"

"Not much." The old man said truthfully.

"Even if it's not so powerful........ Chen Qiuyan said in a low voice: "As long as it is a solid injustice, it has a certain research value!" โ€

The old man lit a cigarette leisurely, looked at Chen Qiuyan and asked, "What do you want to say?" โ€

"In the future, when you go out to pick up work, you can give notice in advance...... No! Can you take me there? Chen Qiuyan asked expectantly.

Her heartfelt expression reminded me of the scene when I was a child and asked the old man for zero 'spending' money, which is exactly the same.

"Impossible." The old man flatly refused: "What is your identity?" Who am I? A son of an official family always follows us to work, which is not good to say. โ€

"Grandpa Shen! I'm begging you! Chen Qiuyan begged: "I've been in the industry for so long, I haven't done a single major thing, and I haven't found anything decent, if I continue like this......."

"I'll let you follow, your grandfather has to kill me." The old man grinned: "Little Qiuyan, I advise you that it is better to settle down, there are some things that your official family can touch, if you don't believe it, you go back and ask your grandfather." โ€

As soon as the words fell, the old man clapped his hands and changed the topic.

"Everyone, pack your things, it's time to go home."

With that, the old man walked to the side and began to sort out the luggage he had brought.

I was about to help, but Chen Qiuyan grabbed me.

"Brother Xiao Shen, can you help me?" Chen Qiuyan hugged my arm tightly, and her clear eyes looked at me pitifully: "Sister, I'm counting on you!" โ€

"Me?? This can't be done........" I blushed and said: "My grandfather's temper is stubborn, don't say it's me, no one can persuade him!" โ€

"What if my grandfather comes?" Chen Qiuyan asked me cautiously.

"I don't know." I shook my head: "Anyway, as far as I feel, it's not good to say anything now, you'd better die of this heart." โ€

"Oops...... Xiao Shen ........ How can you reject a beautiful woman so directly? โ€

Sun Xiaowu's voice sounded without warning, and when I turned my head, I saw that he was lying on the side like a dead man, and persuaded me weakly: "Why don't you go and persuade your grandfather?" Try it without 'spending' money! โ€

"When did you wake up?" I looked at him in amazement.

Without waiting for him to answer, the old man suddenly turned his head and looked at him coldly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Just woke up ........"

Sun Xiaowu smiled, for fear that we would not believe it, and repeated it again.

"I really just woke up......."
