"Uncle ......" I grabbed Du Lei and refused to let go.

Uncle Niu shook his head at me, "Be good, be obedient, let go of Du Lei." ”

I reached out and covered my face and cried, "Why are you doing this?" You tell me in advance, I can do it myself. ”

He chuckled lightly twice, his state surprisingly relaxed, "You don't understand, I can only do these things myself." ”

Du Lei got out of the car to make a call, I also got out of the car, opened the back seat door, and dragged Uncle Niu out, "Uncle, let's run?" ”

He didn't move, and said lightly: "I can't go." ”

"Uncle!" I was so anxious that I couldn't wait to carry him directly.

He maintained the posture of stabbing the dagger into the chest of the phase master, his expression was a little dazed, and said: "Cong, you can see very accurately, but unfortunately you missed a little." ”

I was stunned and looked at him in surprise: "What's missing?" ”

Instead of answering, he said, "From now on, you will have to solve the secret of the seventh face on your own." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly a beam of light came, and then the brake sounded, I was shaken and closed my eyes, and when I opened it again, I found that an off-road vehicle was parked not far away, and two men came down from it.

They walked up to Du Lei, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Du Lei was very respectful to them, bowed his head and said, "I don't know, the phase master has been found, but Niu Chongtian took advantage of my drive and suddenly killed the phase master." ”

The two of them looked at the back seat, and then their eyes fell on my right hand, which was holding Uncle Song's arm, and one of them walked up to me and said lightly: "Get out of the way." ”

Just one look scared my legs weak.

Uncle Niu took the initiative to break away from my hand and said to them, "It's none of her business, I'll go with you to see the sixth master." ”

The faces of the two of them softened a little.

The person who spoke to me before pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Brother Niu, the two of us brothers have cooperated with you so many times, this is the first time that we have taken a fork in the road, and you took advantage of this first time to make a big deal for us." ”

Uncle Niu hooked his lips and smiled, but did not speak.

The two of them got into Du Lei's car directly, let Du Lei drive their car, and left together.

I wanted to chase them, but I was stopped by Yu Hao, so I could only stand where I was, watching them go away.

"How so?" I grabbed his arm, surprisingly flustered.

Yu Hao sighed and took me in his arms.

I cried and said, "Before entering the village, Niu Shi told me that if there was a threat to the master to solve it in advance, but I had been in the house with him for so long, why didn't he do it?" ”

Yu Hao was silent for a moment and said, "Because you are in the house." ”

"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.

He explained: "You are close to him, and you were in the house at the time, if the physiognomy is dead, whether you do it or not, you are his accomplice, but in the car it is different, you sit in the co-pilot, Du Lei is watching from the side, and there is likely to be surveillance in the car." ”

It dawned on me that under such circumstances, the death of the phase master in the car can be said to have nothing to do with me.

"That means the physiognomist can also see things from the seventh face?" I still think of the face of the phase master, and I still have a sick stomach, "Did he also see that his death was difficult?" So why did he become that virtuous? ”

Yu Hao led me back to the courtyard of the phase master, pointed to the courtyard and said, "You can take a look now." ”

I turned my head and froze.

The courtyard was full of lonely souls, and there was not even a place to put their feet on, and they looked sluggish, but their movements were the same, and they were all squeezing into the house, but there seemed to be something stopping them at the door of the house.

"Are these lonely souls all attracted by the phase master?" I was surprised.

Yu Hao nodded.

"What is he going to do when he recruits so many lonely souls?" I asked in surprise.

Yu Hao shook his head, "Maybe that's why Niu Chongtian wanted to kill him, but now if you want to know, you can only ask Niu Chongtian." ”

My heart lifted up again, and I was worried: "Uncle Niu was taken away by the sixth master's people, it won't be an accident, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Yu Hao said affirmatively: "Niu Chongtian is the sixth master's favorite general, as long as there is a legitimate reason, the sixth master will not do anything to him." ”

Yu Hao and I stood outside the courtyard for the night, waiting for the next day to disperse before leaving.

As soon as he arrived at the store, Du Lei came.

He didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Brother Niu wants to see you, I'll take you over." ”

I hurriedly went out with him, and he led me to a courtyard in the old city, which looked inconspicuous from the outside, but the doors and windows inside were specially made.

Du Lei led me to the second room on the left and opened the door, "Go in, Brother Niu is inside." ”

I hurriedly went in, and when I saw Uncle Niu, my eyes were red with distress.

There was not even a stool in the house, the windows were nailed with iron bars, Uncle Niu was leaning against the corner, his body was covered in blood, gauze was wrapped around his neck, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his breathing was very weak.

"Uncle?" I called him.

He opened his eyes slowly, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand, so he could only hook his fingers at me.

I hurried over, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”

He smiled weakly, blood oozing from his mouth, and said with difficulty, "Come here." ”

I leaned in.

"I'll take care of your Aunt Niu for me in the future."

I nodded without hesitation.

"From Cong, do you know what path you are on now?" He asked.

I sniffed, choked up, and said, "I don't know." ”

All I knew was that I was going to crack the death, find the seventh face, and find my dad.

He looked straight at the roof with his eyes, and said quietly: "Dead end, if you want to live, you have to be ruthless." ”

I felt a chill in my heart when I heard it, and I forgot to cry.

He leaned his hands on the ground, holding his breath and approaching me, the gauze on his neck oozing blood, "Show me your face, do you know what you missed?" ”

"I don't know." I stared at his face, and after a while, I panicked.

I can't even see his face!

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "My time of death." ”

I chuckled in my heart, and just as I was about to speak, I suddenly ripped off the gauze around my neck, screamed, and pierced my right hand directly into the wound on my neck.

In an instant, I felt red in front of my eyes and blood splattered.

He fell to the ground, his eyes wide, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood blisters, and he didn't move.

"Uncle......" I hurriedly rushed over.

Du Lei also rushed in, checked it carefully, and said to me, "Brother Niu is no longer breathing." ”

I looked at Uncle Niu in a daze, trembling with my hands, trying to pull out the hand that had been inserted into his neck, but I didn't dare.

"When I came back yesterday and saw the sixth master, he was about to commit suicide, after being stopped, he kept silent, sent him to the hospital, he refused to go, stayed up all night, in the morning he told the sixth master that he wanted to see you, the sixth master saw the past love let me take you over, who knew that he actually ......" Du Lei couldn't go on.

I looked at the blood on Uncle Niu's neck in a daze, and my mind went blank.

"Sixth Master." Du Lei stood up suddenly, bent down at the door.

I looked over in a daze, but all I saw was a heel in a leather shoe.

Du Lei glanced at me a few times, lowered his head and walked out.

I carefully held Uncle Niu in my arms, withstood the trembling and pulled his hand out of his neck, and he used great strength to directly pierce most of his palm along the knife edge.

I wrapped the gauze around his neck again, took a deep breath, and thought about what Uncle Niu had told me when I came in.

He asked me to take care of Aunt Niu, which made me cruel, saying that I didn't see that he was going to die.

Is that what he's trying to see me for?

I twisted it vigorously on my thigh, why didn't I ask Uncle Niu just now, what did the physiographer see, and let him move to kill.

"Uncle......" I called out to him softly, helping him close his eyes.

I just cleaned up for Uncle Niu, and Du Lei came back again, "The sixth master wants to see you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, then wiped the blood from my face and followed him to the main house.

The two people who drove Uncle Niu away last night were standing at the door of the house, and on the rocking chair in the room sat a rich old man in his sixties, with a pair of dragon eyes, thick lips, and a cigarette bag and pot, similar to the old man in the village.

But when he raised his eyes to look at me, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, his eyes were really majestic and fierce, which made me nervous unconsciously.

I subconsciously lowered my eyes, not daring to look at him.

But my heart is getting more and more bottomless, and being a little scared of him is one thing, but more importantly, I can't see his appearance.

I sneaked a look at his feet, there was a shadow, it should be a normal living person.

"Why can't you see my face?" He spoke suddenly.

I hesitated for a moment, but nodded my head and said truthfully: "As long as a normal living person has a face, it can be seen." ”

He smiled, "So, you suspect I'm not alive?" ”

"Hmm." I whispered, this is the only answer, otherwise why wouldn't I be able to see his face?

"You physiognomy masters have a way to look at people's faces and cut off their fortunes, and those people naturally have the means to cover up their faces." He smiled and said that if you don't look at his eyes, you will think that he is the kind old man in the village.

I looked up in amazement, how could it still be like this?

The smile on his face widened, "It seems that Yuan Guofu really didn't teach you anything." ”

It's a shame on my dad again.

I was a little frustrated and said, "I didn't study hard before, and I wanted to go to university." ”

"Oh?" He was interested, "Did you pass the exam?" ”

I shook my head aggrievedly, "No, my parents disappeared before the college entrance examination, and I didn't play well." ”

There was some pity on his face.

I stood quietly for a while, seeing that he had not spoken, and took the initiative to ask him, "Sixth Master, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

He took two puffs of cigarette and said, "Niu Chongtian said that you can see death from that seventh face?" ”

"Well, I saw that I was dying." He must have known about it, and I said directly: "My face shows that I will die in a foreign land." ”

He raised his eyebrows, looked at me for a long time, his voice suddenly became low, and he said seriously: "Do you want to follow me?" ”

I nodded busily, "I think, Uncle Niu said that the sixth master is very powerful, and now those seven faces are still in the hands of the sixth master, I still want to let you agree one day, let me see the seventh face again, I want to break my own death and want to live." ”

He put down the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face again, "You are sincere." ”

"Uncle Niu said that the sixth master knows everything, and he can't hide it." I scratched my head in embarrassment.

After I said this, the sixth master shook the rocking chair and smoked in silence.

I stood in the doorway, sweating on my back, thinking over and over what I had just said, and I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said.

The reason why the sixth master asked, I will answer, this is the safest way I came up with from Uncle Niu's description of the sixth master.

My dad said that if you are not as smart as him, then you should be honest.

I sighed inwardly and suddenly realized a problem, as if everything my dad said to me had his intentions.

"You're a naïve boy." The sixth master finally spoke, "Unlike your father, who has a delicate heart and a heart of play, no one is his opponent." ”

I could hear the admiration for my dad in his words.

"You can follow me in the future." He said: "Originally, I wanted to let Niu Chongtian teach you some skills, but now I have to change someone, you go back first, and I will let him go to you tomorrow." ”

I was busy thanking him, took two steps back, slowly stopped, and asked, "Sixth Master, the physiognomist that Uncle Niu killed, did he also see his death in the mirror?" ”

The sixth master's eyes narrowed slightly, his face sank, and he stared at me.

I trembled and explained, "He died too strangely, and last night I went back to look at his yard and found that the conjuring array he had arranged in the yard had brought all the lonely souls in the vicinity, and they all lost their minds, and they were desperately squeezing into the house, but they were blocked by something." ”

The sixth master frowned, and said for a while: "No one knows what he saw, but I will send someone to copy the formation you said, you go back first." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the house.

I originally wanted to come back directly with Uncle Niu's body, but Du Lei said that the sixth master had found a special person to come over, sew up the wound on Uncle Niu's neck, tidy up the disguise, and then send Uncle Niu home.

This is better, if Aunt Niu and they see Uncle Niu like this directly, they must not cry to death.

When I went back, Du Lei sent me, I was speechless all the way, and he stopped me when I was about to enter the store.

He frowned and said, "Don't you know that the sixth master left you for another purpose?" ”

"Of course I do." I say without hesitation.

His face became even more ugly, "Then you still promised to follow the sixth master?" Brother Niu attacked the phase master for you, and you still went to the sixth master? ”

I could see that although he said something unpleasant, he had no malice.

"So where am I going?" I walked up to him and said, "Don't you know that there are a bunch of people who want to kill me?" The dummies and shadow puppets of the Seven Rivers of Tribulation, if any of them find me, I will definitely die. ”

He wrinkled his eyebrows, disapproving, but couldn't find the words to contradict me.

"Call me when you send Uncle Niu back." I finished and went into the store.

Du Lei stood at the door for a long time before turning to leave.

I locked the door and went back to my cubicle, slumping straight into bed.

"Yu Hao, I feel like I'm feeding a tiger with my body." I buried my face in the quilt and muttered.

I slipped into a piece of the quilt next to me, lifted the quilt on my face with both hands, and said, "It's too early to determine who is the tiger." ”

I pouted, "I'll be left with myself in the future." ”

When I first met Uncle Niu, I was secretly guarding against him, and I could come out of the Seven Troubles River, after he had a showdown with me, I had begun to rely on him, and today he committed suicide in front of me, and my heart was really uncomfortable.

I snatched the quilt from Yu Hao's hand, shrunk it in, and said, "I'm going to sleep." ”

Yu Hao patted it twice and left,

Xu was so tired that I closed my eyes for a long time and fell asleep.

"Be ruthless, be ruthless."

I don't know when it started, someone kept saying this in my ear, I twisted my eyebrows, opened my eyes, and met Uncle Niu's round eyes, his eyes were full of unwillingness, one of his hands was in his neck, a mouth, and blood flowed.

He approached me, slowly pulled out the hand in his neck, and came to touch me with blood on his hand.

"Ah......h

I screamed and shrank back desperately.

Suddenly, a pair of cold hands pressed my shoulders, and I shivered, screamed, and smashed the quilt backwards.

"It's me, it's me, it's me." Yu Hao said anxiously.

Hearing his voice, I calmed down a little and turned my head to see him.

I gasped for breath and threw myself into his arms.

"Uncle Niu is right behind me, and he's getting so scary." I said with tears in my voice.

Yu Hao picked me up, patted me on the back, and comforted me softly: "It was a dream, there is nothing behind you." ”

Hearing his words, I turned my head to look, and sure enough, there was no one.

Seeing that my mood had eased, he put me on the bed, covered me with the quilt, and said, "Go back to sleep." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

I instinctively tugged at his sleeve, and he paused, "What's wrong?" ”

I sniffed and looked at him aggrievedly, "Don't go, I'm afraid." ”

He slowly straightened up and looked at me, his Adam's apple rolling, "Are you sure I want to stay?" ”

My face was hot when he looked at me, I understood the meaning of his words, and reason told me that I should let him leave, but now I was really scared and didn't want to be here alone, so I whispered: "Just accompany me, don't do anything else." ”

He curled his lips and chuckled, "It's not up to you to decide. ”

When the words fell, he bowed his head to kiss me, I was prepared, covered my mouth with my hand, and complained: "You bully people." ”

He paused, then finally kissed me on the forehead, sat sideways at the head of the bed, held my hand and said, "Go to sleep." ”

I nodded, and shrank my head straight into the covers.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard him say in my ear, "So afraid that I will kiss you?" ”

I flushed and kicked him.

He chuckled deeply.

I turned my back to him, lifted the quilt a slit, and closed my eyes again.

After a fuss with him, the previous fear disappeared, and after lying down for a long time, I couldn't speak, and I gently scratched Yu Hao's palm.

"Yuan Congcong ......" Yu Hao said in a deep voice: "If you don't sleep again, you don't want to sleep this night." ”

"Sleep, just sleep." I was afraid that he would come for real, so I immediately closed my eyes.

He sighed helplessly.

I couldn't help but smile and fell asleep again after a while.

Xu was Yu Hao, and I woke up until dawn, and I never had nightmares again.

I got up in the morning and opened the store normally, and near noon, Du Lei drove a small truck to the outside of the store and said, "Brother Niu's body has been repaired, and I am about to send it to Datonggou, will you go?" ”

"Go." I locked the door of the store and opened the door only to find Zhang Heng sitting in the passenger seat.

He moved in and said, "Come up, you can squeeze it." ”

After getting in the car, I wondered, "You also go to Datonggou?" ”

He nodded, "I'm going to preside over Brother Niu's funeral." ”

After saying this, he smiled lightly and said: "Only when doing things will the immortals come out, and usually you can call me Brother Zhang." ”

"Hey, okay." I say.

Du Lei turned his head to look at me, and said expressionlessly: "Brother Zhang is the person who the sixth master found to teach you skills, and he will take you with him in the future." ”

I was taken aback, "Brother Zhang, you are also a member of the Sixth Master?" ”

"Yes, our Taoist priests and disciples in the north of the country, as long as our Dao is basically the people of the Sixth Master." He said.

I hesitated and asked, "What kind of way is we?" ”

Uncle Niu once told me that at most I stepped on this road with half a foot, and I couldn't figure out what kind of road it was.

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "You'll know later." ”

I pouted, rather mysterious.

Aunt Niu and Uncle Niu's parents had already prepared the coffin and waited at the entrance of Datonggou Village, Du Lei and Zhang Heng carried Uncle Niu into the coffin and wanted to cover the coffin.

Aunt Niu stopped them and said, "This dress is not suitable, please help carry the coffin home, and I will change his clothes." ”

"Our custom here is to wear red clothes for burial." I told Du Lei that Du Lei wore a black Mao suit for Uncle Niu.

Du Lei and Zhang Heng glanced at each other, hesitated for a long time before saying, "Okay." ”

After the coffin was carried home, Zhang Heng and Du Lei wanted to change Uncle Niu's clothes, but Aunt Niu didn't let them, "Of course my own man has to be changed by me." ”

As she spoke, she looked at me, "Cong, you go to the back room and bring the clothes on the bed." ”

"Okay." I hurriedly went to get my clothes, and when I came out of the back room, Aunt Niu had already kicked everyone else out.

She stood next to the coffin, holding Uncle Niu's coat in her hand, and looked at Uncle Niu in the coffin in a daze.

I walked over and handed the clothes to Aunt Niu, and I caught a glimpse of Uncle Niu's arm with a black patch and a needle eye on it.

Aunt Niu took the clothes, "Thank you, you can go out first." ”

I had the heart to look at Uncle Niu's other parts, but when I thought about it, Zhang Heng and Du Lei were waiting outside the door, and I was not Uncle Niu's daughter, and it was not appropriate to look at his corpse, so I had to go out of the house.

Zhang Heng walked up to me and whispered, "Deal with the funeral, you just follow me." ”

"Going out on errands?" I asked.

He nodded and said, "The matter of the Sun family's compound is left to me, wait a minute, you come with me to see the specific situation of the bones in the wall, if you want to crack the secret of those dummies, you still have to start with the bones in the wall." ”

"Okay." I immediately responded, paused for a moment, and asked tentatively: "The sixth master wants to check those dummies?" ”

Zhang Heng replied: "Yes, those dummies suddenly appeared, they were powerful, just like ordinary people, the sixth master didn't know their purpose, and he was always uneasy. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but wipe the sweat from my forehead, thanks to Yu Hao for letting me scrape off the words on the wall that day, otherwise the sixth master would not let me interfere.

After changing Uncle Niu's clothes, Aunt Niu asked the adult man of the Niu family to carry the coffin to the mountain, without letting us interfere in the whole process.

Seeing Aunt Niu's rejection of us, Zhang Heng and I didn't go up the mountain, and left after they came back from the burial.

Zhang Heng and I went straight to the Sun family's compound.

The skin of the West House wall was stripped off, and the whole wall was hollowed out in the middle, and three skeletons, one male and one female, were hung from wire, and in the midst of them was a child with a broken leg.
