Chapter 048: Walking with the Tiger Wolf
At the base of the west wall was a bed, on which lay a man, whose facial features and face were exactly the same as the middle-aged man who had just run out.
The eyebrows of the person on the bed were scratched, not deep, just covering the palace of life.
"Whatever you see, I said that I can't watch the number of life, hurry up and get out." When the old man saw that I saw something in the back room, he immediately became anxious and came to push me.
I turned sideways, flipped over the table, entered the back room, and walked to the clay figure, only to see that the white cloth wrapped around the clay figure's head was written on the eight characters of the birthday.
On the afternoon day of the first month of the second year, the solar calendar is April 16, 2015.
I know with my toes that this is the birthday of the child who was robbed of his life.
"He's in." Yu Hao said.
When I turned around, I saw the old man come in with a stick in his hand, and when he lifted the curtain, I looked out and saw that the door had been locked by him.
The old man's face was gloomy, and he said, "I think you are a girl, and I didn't want to worry about you, but you remembered to send you to death." ”
I put my hands around my chest, stretched out my legs and touched the two oil lamps next to the clay figurines' heads, and said with a smile: "Even if you come here, anyway, as soon as the oil lamps fall, your life-winning dojo will be broken." ”
He stared at me fiercely, and he really didn't dare to go any further.
"What is your relationship with Jiang Dagui?" I asked.
The old man looked at me and asked instead of answering, "What is your relationship with him?" ”
I put my foot on the oil lamp, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Answer my question well." ”
I looked calm on my face, but in fact, I was so anxious that I only had three or four minutes to ask him, and I was afraid that something would happen to the child if it dragged on for a long time.
And this old man's eyes are fierce, if there is no threat to him, I may not be able to keep talking.
"He's my big brother." The old man said, "My name is Jiang Daren. ”
I asked again, "Then who did you learn this method of longevity?" ”
He looked at me contemptuously and sneered, "This is the ancestral method of our Jiang family, do we need to learn from others?" ”
I was shocked in my heart, it turned out to be the Jiang family's method to win longevity!
I was stunned for a second, and Jiang Daren took the opportunity to hit me with a stick.
Yu Hao's face was slightly cold, and he kicked him in the stomach, directly kicking him to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
I bit my finger and dripped blood into the oil lamp before extinguishing it.
As soon as the oil lamp went out, blood immediately oozed from the eyebrows of the middle-aged man on the bed.
Jiang Daren struggled to get up and roared angrily, "I'm going to kill you." ”
As he spoke, he threw the stick in his hand at me.
When I dodged, I accidentally tripped over the mud figure and hit the wall, only to hear the sound of reaching out and clicking twice, and the wall was dented in a piece.
I was stunned for a moment, realizing that this wall was also separated.
Yu Hao was ruthless, and his right hand flicked at Jiang Daren's head, and I saw a wisp of black gas penetrate Jiang Daren's eyebrows.
Jiang Daren looked frightened, squatted on the ground in a trembling manner, holding his head, wanting to scream but not daring to make a sound, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"Yu Hao, what should I do next?" I asked him.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a phantom squatting next to the clay figure, looking at the oil lamp with a blank expression.
"Let them bring the kids." Yu Hao said, standing beside the phantom.
I gradually saw the phantom clearly, and I also had a bottom in my heart.
Jiang Daren's life-winning dojo was too domineering, and at the same time he directly hooked the child's soul, so the child's reaction would be so big.
I hurriedly called Tian Guofu and asked him to bring the child over.
When they came, I asked the two of them to put the child on the table outside for fortune-telling, and then put a charming charm on the door of the child's head.
The child's face improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after about ten minutes, the child was completely back to normal.
When he opened his eyes, his first reaction was to look at the back room and call out to his uncle.
Tian Guofu and the child's father's faces changed, and they looked at the back room in disbelief.
I explained, "It's not clean in this house, and the kid is fine now, so take him back." ”
The two hurriedly left with the child in their arms.
I closed the door again and walked to the back room, where Jiang Daren was squatting in the corner, his face pale, tears and snot running down his face, and a wet patch on his crotch.
I asked Yu Hao in wonder, "What did you do to him?" ”
Yu Hao sneered and said, "I just hooked up the scene that he was most afraid of. ”
I see.
I didn't dwell on that, I walked up to the wall in front of me and said, "It's empty in this wall." ”
As I spoke, I peeled off the wall skin along the crack I had just hit.
It was found that there was an ancestral hall with a table of wordless tablets.
Yu Hao walked to Jiang Daren's side, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, Jiang Daren screamed twice, and threw himself directly to the ground, his eyes gradually returning to clarity.
"What the hell are you?" He looked at me in horror.
I sneered: "You don't care about this, tell me, who are the tablets here?" ”
He looked away.
I looked at the middle-aged man on the bed and said, "He's not dead yet, if you tell me the truth, I can help you." ”
Jiang Daren stiffened and confirmed with me, "You will really help me?" ”
I nodded, "Of course, as long as you're telling the truth." ”
He hesitated for a long time before he spoke, and said, "Those are all the tablets of the ancestors of the Jiang family. ”
I squatted down and stared at his face, "What the hell is going on with your Jiang family?" ”
"The Jiang family used to be a big family that was proficient in physiognomy, and there were many famous physiognomy masters." Speaking of the history of the Jiang family, Jiang Daren's face was full of pride: "The Jiang family once had seven phases, and it can be seen that there are seven difficulties in life. ”
"Why the decline?" I asked.
He said angrily: "Someone fell in love with the seven phases of the Jiang family, that person was powerful, and the Jiang family couldn't afford to provoke them, so they handed over the seven phases, and moved the family into the mountains, for fear of being known about our location, the ancestors of the Jiang family imitated the ancients to live in caves and built houses underground, but even if the Jiang family retreated to such a point, those people still did not let go of the Jiang family." ”
His eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Those people found the Jiang family's residence in the deep mountains and slaughtered the Jiang family, and at that time, only me and my brother Jiang Dagui escaped. ”
"Who is the one who took the Seven Phases and pursued you?" I asked with a frown.
This time, he was silent and did not speak.
I asked him directly, "Do you know the Seven Tribulations?" ”
He looked up in horror, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and say, "You went to the Seven Tribulations?" ”
"Yes, I also saw the Seven Phases." I said, "So, who is the one who took away the seven phases?" ”
It must be one person who took away the Seven Phases, chased down the Jiang family, and built the coffin of the Seven Tribulations River, so who is this person?
Jiang Daren's lips trembled, his face was earthy, and he said: "It's not that I don't say it, but I don't know, in my generation, the Jiang family has been hiding in the mountains for more than ten generations, and the mountains are comfortable, and few people in my generation can see each other, so how can I know who that person is?" Moreover, when the old men of the tribe spoke of this, they did not allow us to ask who the man was. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and said with difficulty: "The old man in the clan specially said that even if he knew the identity of that person and did not have the idea of revenge, he would incur the disaster of killing, but unfortunately, even so, the Jiang family did not escape the fate of being exterminated. ”
I could tell he wasn't lying this time.
can make the Jiang family dare not mention it, which shows that the power of that person is extremely great, and the Jiang family has no room for resistance at all.
Thinking of this, I also suppressed this question and didn't mention it again, and asked him about the strange group of yin people in the desolate village, he was surprised after hearing it, and said, "A team of yin people? Our Jiang family has never had this. ”
I grimaced, "Are you sure?" “
Without hesitation, he nodded and said, "I'm sure." ”
"Then does the Jiang family have the habit of putting clay figures in coffins for burial?" I asked again.
"Yes." He said: "After moving into the mountains, our ancestors were afraid that the man would find us, and not only the living would not be able to escape, but even the dead would be in danger, so they stipulated that whenever someone died, they would be buried directly in the sky, and then they would be buried in a coffin. ”
If this is the case, after Jiang Dagui's death, the coffin that appeared in Dikeng Village was only in accordance with the regulations of the Jiang family's ancestors, but who made the coffin?
Is it the Yin Man?
Since Jiang Daren said that the Jiang family did not have that team of Yin people before they were exterminated, then they only appeared after the Jiang family was killed.
"Last question, why bring him back to life?" I asked.
Jiang Daren stared at the man on the bed, his expression relaxed, and said, "I'm old, I always have someone to rely on." ”
I stood up and looked at Xiao Yu.
He understood, walked to the bedside, and released the soul of the middle-aged man.
I took out a soul charm and slapped it on his head.
In fact, Jiang Daren succeeded in winning his life, this man has two more years of life, but I broke the dojo and broke it at all, although this man can live, he is also a sick person.
"Ho ......"
The rune paper burned, and the man on the bed opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for breath a few times.
I directly pulled Yu Hao out and said, "I really want to beat him." ”
"Don't be angry, being alive is torture for both of them," he said. ”
"How?" I wondered, the man woke up in poor health, but he finally came back to life.
His eyes were deep, and there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, "They are all selfish people, Jiang Daren let him live so that someone could rely on him, but that person was not in good health after he came back to life, but he needed to take care of him, and it was even more torture for him." ”
It also makes sense.
I sighed, and my heart was less uncomfortable.
Coming out of the fortune teller, I called Tian Guofu and made sure that the child had returned to normal, so I didn't go back.
Tian Guofu also promised to transfer the remuneration to me within an hour.
Yu Hao and I went straight back to the store.
"Yu Hao, did you say that the team of mysterious yin people who appeared in Dikeng Village was made by the people who destroyed the Jiang family?" I hesitated and said, "If that's the case, then your coffin is likely to fall into that person's hands." ”
He also looked solemn and sighed: "This is not yet certain." ”
I regretted it, "I should have stopped them when I knew I would." ”
"It's okay, if you really stop it, you will be startled." He comforted me and said, "Isn't there someone leading us down layer by layer? Don't worry, the truth will always come out. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.
When I opened the door, it turned out to be Zhang Heng.
"Brother Zhang, why are you here?" I asked curiously, he said last time that he would leave in half a month.
He said embarrassedly: "The sixth master handed me an urgent matter, and I need the two of us to go over now." ”
After saying that, he dragged me away without saying anything, and took me to a house on the outskirts of the county.
The moment I entered the door, I had a feeling of returning to ancient times, the house was antique, and every stone and wood was very exquisitely arranged.
"The people here are not simple, don't show them their faces without saying anything, otherwise something will happen." Zhang Heng specially whispered to me.
"Okay."
As soon as I finished speaking, a girl wearing a cheongsam came out of the courtyard, with a graceful figure, a pretty face, and a smile with just the right amount of affinity.
She bent down and said, "Welcome, I wonder which courtyard the two guests have booked?" ”
Zhang Heng replied: "It's the prefect. ”
"Okay, please come with me." She led the way in front, Zhang Heng and I followed, and walked inside for a long time before I realized that this should be a high-end resort.
After walking for five or six minutes, the girl who led the way stopped, pointed to the door on the right, and said, "This is the prefect." ”
Zhang Heng thanked me and took me into the courtyard.
After entering the hospital, he asked me, "You didn't show her a look, did you?" ”
"No, didn't you say you couldn't watch it?" I say.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, "It's good that I didn't see it." ”
I was puzzled and asked, "Brother Zhang, didn't you say it to do something?" Why did you come to such a high-end place? ”
He smiled: "This is the place to do things, the sixth master sent someone to mix in a few days ago, and within two days, the person was bizarre, the two of us are close to here, and the sixth master asked us to come and have a look." ”
As he spoke, he approached me and whispered, "Did I tell you that the Taoist priests and immortal families in the north have to give the sixth master a few thin noodles?" ”
"Yes." I say.
He added: "Then this is the only exception, the owner here does not give face to anyone." ”
I was surprised and said, "This is a Taoist priest?" ”
"Half a Taoist priest." Zhang Heng said: "That person is middle-aged and talented, and it only took five years to cultivate to be able to compete with the sixth master, who once wanted to take him under his command, but he was not short of money and power, and the sixth master was unsuccessful in soliciting several times." ”
It turned out to be such a powerful person.
"And that guy is also very good at physiognomy." Zhang Heng added: "That's why I said I won't let you look at your face here, something will happen." ”
I promised, "I will never look at it, don't worry." ”
"Okay, let's go into the house, let's still have the old rules, wait until it gets dark." Zhang Heng said.
Zhang Heng entered the East House, and I went to the West House.
When I opened the door and entered, I stood in the middle of the ground for a long time, not knowing where to sit.
The room is furnished like an ancient boudoir, and every furnishing is very exquisite, and I, a layman, can see that it is a good thing.
It took me a long time to stand on the bed before I had the courage to sit down on the bed, and I couldn't help but want to laugh, and I was now sitting on an antique.
Just thinking about it, the phone rang suddenly, I clicked on it to see, it was a chat message from the online store, yesterday he said he was coming to me, and the person who asked me to look at him in person sent me a message, saying that he had arrived in the county seat.
I apologized to him and said that I was not in the store and that I would have to go back in a day or two.
"Don't you dare to show me?" He messaged.
I sighed, I even dare to look at the appearance of the yin person, and I am afraid to look at him?
"Dare, I'm really in a hurry, I'm not at home." I say.
He replied again: "Then wait for you to come back." ”
It's quite persistent.
Since he was willing to wait, I didn't say anything, stayed up until it was dark and went out to find Zhang Heng, and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
I pushed it hard, and I pushed it away.
"Brother Zhang?" I shouted, and after waiting for no one to answer, I went into the house and walked around, but I didn't see anyone.
When did he get out?
I stood in the yard for a long time, still not waiting for him.
Did he go outside?
I tried to open the door and get out, but I found that I couldn't open the door at all.
At the same time as I touched the door, a wave of yin qi seeped in through the crack in the door, and I chuckled in my heart, turned around and ran into the house.
But as soon as I ran two steps, my neck suddenly tightened, and I don't know when the white cloth belt appeared around my neck, pulled me to the ground, dragged me backwards, and before I could react, I was dragged and hit the door.
There was a loud bang, my head buzzed, and my eyes went dark for a moment, and a stream of hot and moist liquid flowed from my face.
I didn't care about this, I struggled out with the white cloth belt, and before I could stand firmly, I suddenly got a kick in the back and rolled me to the ground a few times.
I gritted my teeth and endured it, and got up from the ground, the white cloth belt was thrown by the door, and the yard was empty.
"Who?" I looked around warily,
There was a sudden chill on the back of my neck, and a cold hand grabbed me directly.
I took out a piece of rune paper from my pocket and slapped it backwards with my backhand, the rune paper fell into the air, and the moment the rune paper hit the ground, I only felt a strong wind coming towards my face.
I instinctively held my head and bent down to avoid it, and suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my calf.
"Ahh I couldn't hold back any longer, screamed, and fell straight to the ground.
"From from!" I heard Yu Hao's voice.
The moment I landed, my eyes inadvertently swept over the East House and found Su Yueze standing behind the window, looking at me indifferently.
"Don't come out, get out of here!" I shouted in my heart.
He was testing me.
Thinking of this, I couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily around: "Who is plotting against me? ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I received another kick on the back, and I was kicked a few times, and my forehead hit the ground again, and I felt a piercing pain.
I gasped and lay on the ground, paying attention to Su Yueze.
"Right leg." I saw him say with his mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, I was hit on my right leg again, "Hmm......" I snorted, gritted my teeth and endured the pain, and my mouth smelled bloody.
The white ribbon in front of the courtyard gate was picked up by something invisible, and in the blink of an eye it came to me, wrapped around my neck again, and tightened continuously.
I grabbed the white belt with both hands, kicked with both hands, and struggled with all my might.
I knew that Su Yueze didn't say anything about killing me, but when it really came to this moment, since I was extremely scared, tears flowed down uncontrollably, my chest was painful, and my face was swollen.
Gradually, I lost my strength, and I felt cold, so I could only open my mouth wide, and I couldn't breathe even after all my strength.
The door of the east room opened, and I saw Su Yueze come out and wave his hand, and the force on the white belt disappeared instantly.
I slumped on the ground, stunned as I watched Su Yueze get closer and closer, he squatted in front of me and muttered, "He's really not by your side?" ”
I stared straight ahead, didn't react, and when he was about to touch my face behind me, I couldn't help but faint.
I don't know how long it took, there was a tingling pain in my fingers, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Zhang Hengzheng looking at me nervously.
"Congcong, are you alright?" As he spoke, he put his hand on my forehead.
I subconsciously trembled all over, and I resisted the fear and did not dodge.
I wanted to speak, but my throat burned and hurt, so I could only shake my head slightly.
Su Yueze was more suspicious and ruthless than I thought, I thought that when I was in Dikeng Village, he already believed that Yu Hao was not by my side, who knew that he would use this method to test me when he came back.
No wonder Uncle Niu is so afraid of him.
Zhang Heng said: "It's all my fault for this, I should have given you a few runes in advance to defend yourself." ”
After speaking, he paused and said indignantly: "There is really a problem here, there is a dirty thing that dares to beat you like this." ”
"There is a problem." I hoarsely chimed in.
It seems that if I go out with him in the future, I will let Yu Hao be careful, but Su Yueze may know Yu Hao's identity.
It seems that he must ask Yu Hao when he goes back, if he has a feud with Su Yueze in recent years, then there is nothing to check, but if he doesn't remember why he made a feud, then Su Yueze must know Yu Hao's identity.
Zhang Heng fed me medicine and made sure I was okay before going out to find the missing person.
I was lying on the bed, and my body hurt everywhere, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that Su Yueze was ruthless.
If it weren't for the fact that I could see the yin person, I wouldn't be able to see him at all, and I would only think that it was the dirt here that beat me like this.
It's just that I don't know if Zhang Hengzhi will test me like this?
After a long time in bed, I struggled to get up, and I wanted to go out to have a look, but when I walked to the door, I paused suddenly, looking at the stone plaque hanging on the door frame and couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
When was this hung up?
I took the stone tablet down and found that there were four words on it: do not break, do not stand.
What does that mean?
What do I need to break? What do you need to stand up?
I put the stone plaque in my pocket, limped out into the courtyard, and looked around, but saw no one else.
"From ......" Yu Hao came out of the corner, walked to my side, and looked at me guiltily.
I tugged at the corners of my mouth, "Am I all right?" ”
He clenched his fists with both hands, his eyes bloodshot, and after a while, he let go and carefully carried me into his arms.
"Let's go." I nudged him.
He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Su Yueze has already gone away." ”
"How did you end up with him?" I asked.
He said: "Su Yueze was originally a Taoist priest, and after his accidental death, he wanted to borrow the corpse to return his soul, and I saw that the person he killed was really pitiful, so he helped, and since then he has hated me." ”
Then he wasn't a good guy from the beginning?
Yu Hao said solemnly: "I won't forget this matter, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you." ”
I shook my head, "I don't need you to do it, I'll do it myself." ”
I can't offend him at the moment, after all, I have to rely on him to communicate with the sixth master.
It's just that going out alone with him in the future is tantamount to walking with a tiger wolf.
