The life of an Onmyomancer seems to me crazy and romantic, like in a movie, saving people, destroying monsters, and solving mysteries. But when it was presented in front of my eyes in such a way, it finally made me hesitate.

I want an extraordinary life, but if it means being in constant contact with these things that I hate and fear, and it means facing the test of death at every moment, is it still the thing I want?

Master Cao didn't say anything more, he just looked at me and waited for my decision.

As the minutes ticked by, I finally picked up a crowbar and climbed in.

I don't remember exactly how it happened, I just remember throwing up, and more than once, when I put my hand into the wriggling corpse larvae, the touch still made me want to die, even though I was through the gloves.

But I know that what Master Cao said is not wrong, if one day when I open the Heavenly Eye and see something more terrifying than what is in front of me, can I turn around and escape?

I forced myself to keep my eyes open, and when I crawled out of it, I felt like I had gone through a life-or-death test.

"You're doing a great job." Master Cao said to me with a smile. "I have to say, you far exceeded my expectations."

I couldn't say a word, a corpse crawled slowly on my pants, and if it had been the original me, I might have screamed, but I just grabbed its body with my hand and lifted it up, and then bounced it into the tomb.

Master Cao used something like clay to mold the three jade pendants, took pictures repeatedly, and then put them back and covered the coffin lid again.

Not only that, but he also used the things he carried with him to lay out a simple formation and quickly performed a ritual.

"Until we know what this monster represents and what the jade pendant does, let's not act rashly." He said this to me on the way back.

"Master Cao, is this the process of how you do things?" I couldn't help but ask.

It's hard to imagine putting so much effort and time into every event.

"Of course not." Master Cao replied. "The general thing is to ask the subject about the general situation beforehand, and make some corresponding preparations."

He smiled bitterly: "But this incident this time is different from the ordinary, let me tell you the truth, I have never encountered such a thing with Lao Lu a few times in my life." ”

One of the dishes in dinner was stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, so I couldn't help but vomit again, and then picked up some greens and ate the rice.

When everything was quiet, the images suddenly flooded into my mind as if driven by something, and I couldn't bear it.

"Let's start meditating." Master Cao just said to me.

I tried my best to get those horrible images out of my mind, but they were so stubborn that they stuck in my head, and I couldn't calm down.

I became more and more irritable, more and more anxious, at this time, an arm pressed on my vest, warm, vague breath slowly penetrated from there, Master Cao began to recite the scriptures in a low voice, I don't know what that meant, but the negative things in my heart slowly disappeared with his recitation.

Master Cao went back to the distant mountain with the new materials, and he warned me not to go up the mountain alone, and not to make any decisions on my own.

"Call me immediately if there is any problem, and I will be back in three days at most."

So I started to become idle, and the only thing I did every day was to call the mountains to make sure everything was okay, and to go to Hewei Village to ask if anyone had seen any trace of Zhang Laogen.

The project can be stopped, but the crops in the villagers' fields cannot be left alone, and after the initial fear, the villagers gradually return to the life of sunrise and sunset, but what is puzzling is that no one sees Zhang Laogen.

Is he dead?

I had to think so.

He might not be able to go down for a few days after bringing some things, but there wasn't much to eat in the nearby mountains, and it was almost unthinkable that he wouldn't show up for a month.

What does he live on?

Did someone give him something to eat?

Thinking of some of the clues I've heard before, this may be the only plausible answer.

But this mountain is too big for us to blockade or go all over the mountains to find him.

Boss Xie came back again, and this time, his face became even more ugly.

"What's the result?" I didn't see Master Cao make his temper worse, if I had to choose, now I would rather face that tomb than face him alone.

"The two masters are checking ......," that's all I could tell him.

"What's the result?!" He asked again in a loud voice. "What did they do in a month? Sun Yang! Don't forget who paid you! ”

I wanted to tell him everything we did, but he didn't give me a chance.

After a while, I heard the roar of the engine, and he came in a hurry, and then hurried away.

I had a sense of foreboding.

Will he choose to solve this problem in other ways?

"He's already done that." Master Cao said on the phone. "A friend told us that he's looking around for someone who can solve this problem, but you don't have to worry. The warlocks who do this in China, as long as they are not the kind of indiscriminate ones, it is impossible to take his job when they hear the names of me and Lu Lou. ”

Three days later, he did come down, and we went back to the same rhythm of life as before, but this time Master Cao's focus changed, and he asked the car from the construction site to take us to the heights of the nearby mountains, and then to observe the terrain of the Heihezi area from there, and then to the place where he thought there might be an ancient tomb.

It took us a week to find four more tombs.

In this way, with the addition of those we saw earlier, there are now nine tombs that we know of.

Is that all?

No one knows.

Master Cao marked all their locations on a high-precision military map, hoping to find out the patterns, but they were not geometric figures, and the distances between them were different, and there was not even any symmetry.

We drew and drew in pencil on the map, but there was no way to find the underlying logic.

The feng shui in those places is not good, and there are a few places that can even be said to be fierce places, who exactly built these tombs, and when and for what reason? Why are there three coffins inside?

Although we have been investigating for more than a month, it can be said that we still don't know anything about the truth behind this matter.

"The monsters on the wood carvings and jade pendants may be the nemesis of these bugs?" One morning, it occurred to me that I thought.

Master Cao nodded, but did not immediately support my speculation.

Suddenly there was a noisy roar of engines and horns outside, and I glanced at Master Cao in some surprise and walked out the door to see what was happening.

There were three off-road vehicles parked on the road, and Boss Xie's car was at the front, and several strangely dressed people were moving things down from the car behind.

"Boss?" I walked over with suspicion.

"Sun Yang, you came just in time, this is Master Sucha from Chiang Mai, you come to tell him the details of this matter."

Master Sucha?

A biting chill came over my face, and my feet were so sore that I almost fell to my knees.

“sawadee！” A dark-skinned and gloomy man said to me with his hands folded and smiling, but I only felt extreme danger in him.
