I had no idea, and I didn't know whether to trust this old man or not, so I looked at Hu Lai and Huang Mao.

The two of them groaned for a moment and nodded.

I followed the old man with a bone, and he seemed to be able to blow him away when he saw a gust of wind, but he did walk like a fly.

I turned left and left and walked for about a quarter of an hour until I came to a small thatched house.

"Wait."

The old man turned around and said, then opened the door and entered the thatched house, and the moment the door opened, I was surprised to find that there was a coffin inside, placed in the middle of the room, supported by three stools, and there was a small staircase of only two or three steps next to the coffin.

Huang Mao also saw it, his face changed, I wanted to ask, but he stopped him with his eyes and signaled not to speak.

The old man fumbled in the room for a while before opening the door again, holding a yellowed letter in his hand, handing it to me, and saying, "This is what Meng Yanji left for you, saying that I don't know if you will come to pick it up, and if you come, I will give you this letter; Go quickly, this place is not for you to stay long. ”

With that, it turned back into the house and closed the door.

I looked at the letter and was immediately excited, it was my grandfather's handwriting.

The envelope reads: My grandson Meng Lei personally opened.

My grandfather was a man of culture, writing with a brush and writing in his own right, and he once told me that his handwriting could not be imitated by ordinary people.

The envelope is yellowed, apparently left for many years, and there is also a wax seal on it.

I crushed the sealing wax and took out the letter inside, only to see that it read:

My grandson Meng Lei, when you read this letter, it shows that the luck in your grandfather's heart is wrong, and you finally went to the fate of the Meng family; It is gratifying to know that you are here and have seen this letter, which means that you have grown up and have the ability to walk in the world. Grandpa doesn't know what will happen in the future, and he left this letter just to tell you that the Meng family has a heavy mission, but since you have come to this point, you must move forward bravely, abandon all distractions, and abandon all back roads.

The secrets of the Meng family are related to heaven, and grandpa has only dug up part of it, and he can't tell you, everything can only be dug up by yourself.

But one thing you have to remember is that you are here by no accident, remember!

The road ahead is very difficult and dangerous, grandpa doesn't know if he will be separated from you forever one day in the future, if there really is that day, don't blame grandpa.

In addition, the person who wrote to you once owed grandpa a favor, and you can ask him for help when you are helpless, but there is only one chance.

After that, it was signed: Meng Yanji, written in the snow winter of 1993.

The letter was very short, and my eyes couldn't help but moisten after reading it, my grandfather had long expected that something might happen to him, but he didn't know what would happen in the future, so he left a letter in advance that he didn't know if he would use it.

As a result, it was used, because I came, and shattered what Grandpa called "fluke." ”

I understood what he meant by "luck", that is, to keep me away from the Dharma practice, and my grandfather even cut off the relationship network in the Dharma practice, stepped down from the position of the leader of the Southern Dharma Society, and devoted himself to raising me at home, so that I could stay away from the Dharma practice and escape the "fate" destined by the Meng family.

This letter was written by my grandfather fourteen years ago, when I was only seven years old!

What does this mean?

It shows that when I was six years old, my grandfather was still wandering around the Dharma practice, and perhaps it was here that he encountered something that led him to write this letter and decided to keep me away from the practice.

I was seven years old, and I was really starting to remember.

What did Grandpa go through, or rather, what did the Meng family go through? Causing my grandfather to make a move to keep me away from the Dharma?

You know, the Meng family is the leader of the generations, and it was once the first family to practice the law, grandpa is asking me to give up the glory of my ancestors, give up everything that once belonged to the Meng family, and become an ordinary ordinary person.

If grandpa hadn't found out, it would have been a hell of a thing.

This is also reflected in my grandfather's letters, repeatedly telling me that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but once I embark on the journey to find the truth and mission, I must move forward and not even leave a way out for myself.

After reading the whole letter, my grandfather revealed between the lines all about helplessness and love for me, and he tried his best, but he couldn't change anything.

Sentimentally, I focused my attention on the line in the middle of the letter: Remember, you are here by accident, remember!

My heart lit up, indeed, not by chance.

If it was by chance, my grandfather would not have left this letter, and when my grandfather wrote this letter, he expected that one day when I entered the Dharma practice and had the ability to walk the world, I would definitely come here.

This is exactly what I can't figure out, this inevitability, where to start?

Why should I be here?

It doesn't make sense, first Feng Da Niu disappeared, and then the thunderstorm magic circle in Jinpen Township needed protection, and it couldn't be without Feng Da Niu, so Wang Jian'an helped to find it, and it happened that Gu Li on the periphery of the sect inquisition found Feng Da Niu's traces, and I rushed over when I got the news.

When you think about it together, it doesn't seem to be inevitable, right?

"What does the letter say?" Cao Nan leaned over and asked.

I hesitated for a moment, and gave him the letter directly, there are no secrets that cannot be said, the grandfather of fourteen years ago dug up something, but the matter is related to heaven and cannot be said clearly, and the grandfather is not completely sure of what will happen in the next fourteen years, so there is nothing that cannot be seen.

Cao Nan immediately opened the letter, and Hu Lai and Huang Mao also immediately leaned over to read it.

After reading it, they were also confused, Cao Nan said: "What is it that we came here by accident? ”

Hu Lai pondered for a moment, and if he had enlightenment, he said: "The meaning of this sentence is that we were lured over. ”

"Seduction?!"

Cao Nan and I were taken aback, and I hurriedly said, "Where to start?" ”

"Hehe, interesting." Huang Mao smiled, the light in the depths of his eyes flickered, and said, "Starting from Feng Daniu's disappearance, I'm afraid that there is something that wants you to come here." ”

My back went numb, yes.

The sudden disappearance of Feng Daniu and his wife has always puzzled me, it seems that my intuition is correct, behind Feng Daniu's disappearance, there is a conspiracy.

Someone, or something, is using Feng Da Niu to lure me here.

"Wouldn't it, such an evil sect?" Cao Nan couldn't believe it, touched his hand and said, "The hair you said is standing up." ”

"Yes or no, it will be verified in a moment." Hu Lai smiled mysteriously and sold a pass.

Huang Mao even overlooked this small village lying dormant in the deep mountains and streams, and said with a smile: "This place is really unusual." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for me and Cao Nan to ask questions, and said directly to me: "Try it, look at your grandfather's old friend, and whether you are willing to reveal some information to you." ”

My eyes lit up, right!

Grandpa made it very clear on the envelope, saying that this skinny old man owed him a favor, and if he needed it, he could ask him for help.

Of course, this favor is very precious and can't be used easily, but it's always okay to collect some interest first, right?

So I stepped forward to inquire about Tiger Leaping Rock, and since there was something tempting me to go to Tiger Leaping Rock, it must be something out of the ordinary.

As a result, before I could speak, the voice of the old man came from the house: "Old man, I still want to live a few more years, you can go quickly." ”

I suddenly choked in my throat and eyes, extremely uncomfortable, and just when I didn't know whether to advance or retreat, Hu Lai pulled me, shook his head, and signaled to give up.

I had no choice but to say goodbye to the old man and turn away.

After going down the mountain, I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop me, maybe he was begging twice, and he said it?" ”

"He may sue others, but since you are rejected, he will not let go." Hu Lai shook his head affirmatively.

"What do you say?" I'm baffled.

"It's simple, because of the coffin." Huang Mao said, and then asked, "Do you know what that coffin is for?" ”

I shook my head.

"It is used to cover up the heavens and fake death to prolong life."

Huang Mao smiled, and then slowly explained: "Lying in the coffin represents death, the old man usually uses the coffin as a bed to sleep, in order to cover up the heavens, hide from the sky and steal a few years of life, people in this state are the most taboo to violate the rules of heaven, otherwise the heavens cannot be covered, and the second, the heavens are more serious, plus you have a lot of cause and effect, how dare he leak the heavens to you; If you do this, you may be killed by a thunderbolt from God in the next moment. ”

I was shocked, and my heart said that there is such a strange method, sleeping in a coffin and faking death to cover the heavens?

However, combined with the old man who said "I want to live a few more years", Hu Lai's speculation must be right, otherwise who has nothing to do with a coffin at home, and there is a ladder next to it, which must be used to enter and exit the coffin.

Think about the appearance of the old man with skin and bones, he has indeed run out of oil, and he is still alive in that state, which is simply anti-human and anti-science. Apparently, he deceived God by sleeping in a coffin, and faked his death to steal a few years of life.

"Similarly, the Netherworld Inn is also a place where he can hide the heavens, he is either in the inn or in the coffin, I am afraid that he has stolen a lot of Shouyuan." Then, Hu Lai said again.

I nodded, the Netherworld Inn is a good thing to say that people and ghosts communicate with each other, similar to doing business, in fact, it is the collusion of people and ghosts.

If this human-ghost contract is still valid, it is a violation of heaven, if that kind of place can't cover up the heavens, who would have the courage to go?

Just thinking about it, I feel that the old man is not worth it, every day he either stays in the Netherworld Inn, or sleeps in the coffin, risking the curse of God, what's the point of living?

It's better to be reincarnated as soon as possible.

In case the machine is leaked, and a heavenly thunder strikes down, death is light, and the biggest possibility is that the soul is scattered and completely annihilated, and there is no chance of reincarnation.

"By the way, you said that you would verify the conspiracy for a while, how to verify it?" After a pause, I asked.

"Go to Coulee and everything will be understood." Hu Laidao, after speaking, he turned to the Gu Li family.

We were careful to avoid the houses in the village as much as possible to avoid being discovered; Strange to say, although this small village is small, there are dozens of households, but there is not a single dog, and occasionally the sound of cattle and sheep and other poultry and livestock can be heard, but there is no dog barking.

This is still one of them, and the second is that the whole village has not yet been dark, so every household closes the door and turns off the lights, and there is hardly any light to be seen, like an empty village, no popularity at all.

After three turns, we arrived at Guli's house.

We knocked on the door, but no one answered, and when we looked through the crack in the door, it was pitch black.

Huang Mao then took out a short knife, inserted it into the crack of the door, picked open the horizontal wood behind him, and slowly pushed the door open.

We wanted to sneak in silently, but the door didn't squeak as we wanted...... Ah......h

Hu Lai was helpless, so he had to shout Gu Li a few more times, but no one answered.

So we went inside, and there was no one in the living room, so we found the bedroom, and there was a man lying on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, sleeping.

"Coulee!"

I tried to shout, but the person on the bed didn't respond.

This makes us have a bad premonition in our hearts, this sleep is too dead, right?

"He's not breathing!"

At this time, Hu Lai said coldly.

I was startled, listened intently, and found that there was really no sound of breathing, and the blanket did not have the ups and downs of breathing.

"It's not going to be dead, is it?" Cao Nan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Go check it out, be careful!" Huang Mao groaned for a moment and gritted his teeth.

We nodded and cautiously leaned over, only to find that the man was completely covered in a blanket with no head visible.

Huang Mao stretched out his iron sword and slammed the blanket open. Revealing what's underneath sends chills down our bodies.

This is a person, yes, but a paper man~!!

And it's exactly the same as Coulee!
