After saying that, I talked to Wenren Bodhisattva about some of my future plans.
I have to say that I was a little touched by his reaction.
There was no consolation, no obstruction, but there was a kind of support for me.
"I really can't play anymore, just talk to the monk." Wenren Bodhisattva said in a low voice: "As long as I come forward to protect you, except for those crazy people of the old sect, no one will dare to move." ”
"Thank you." I smiled and thanked Wenren Bodhisattva from the bottom of my heart: "I remember your kindness to me and our Shen family, and it may be a bit polite to say these words, but I can't help but say it, I really ......."
"What's wrong?" Wenren Bodhisattva glared: "Are you taking the monk and me as an outsider?" ”
"No, no, I just think ......"
When I said this, I couldn't help but rub my eyes, and pretended to be very calm and said, "I'm really happy to have you to support me." ”
The relationship between Wenren Bodhisattva and me does not have the feeling of being a teacher and a friend, but is like an elder in the family, treating the younger generations with kindness.
The mood that was still a little uncomfortable has recovered a lot now, and the smile on his face can't help but become more real.
"Before I came, I thought you would be in a slump for a long time, after all, the grandfather who took you from childhood to adulthood left, but I didn't expect it......" Wenren Bodhisattva smiled and looked at me with appreciation: "You came out quite fast, which was beyond my expectations." ”
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, and I felt a kind of dazed feeling inexplicably.
Oh, yes.
Judging by my original nature...... I want to get out of the shadow of the old man's death....... It should take a while......
No matter how fast you come out, you can't calm down like this in just a few hours.
"I feel like I'm missing something." I muttered.
"You're missing something? What's missing? Wenren Bodhisattva looked at me with some puzzlement, as if he didn't understand my words.
I thought about it for a while, and I was going to give Wenren Bodhisattva a specific answer, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't think of a suitable answer, so I had to give up.
To be honest, I know better than anyone what my own body is like.
Since the trip to Hainan, my body has undergone some inexplicable changes, maybe this is related to the Nine Turtle God, or it may be that the fruit planted for me by the brain monster before, and now it is slowly being eaten by me.
In normal times, I look no different from a normal person, and I know that.
But there are special moments when I can feel my emotions...... It seems to be more prone to fluctuations than the average person.
Emotional out-of-control, emotional breakdown, these phenomena have happened many times, but compared to the number of times I have been able to forcibly calm my emotions, it is not a small number of times.
Especially at that moment of collapse, the emotions calmed down very abruptly, like a pool of stagnant water...... That kind of change, after the fact, will make me involuntarily afraid.
This is not the state of a normal person, absolutely not.
I don't think I'm a normal person, but I don't want to be such a cold and heartless monster......
Like now, I really want to hold the old man and their corpses and cry for a while, crying bitterly and howling a few more times, but I find that I can't do it.
It's not that I'm afraid of being embarrassed, it's true...... It's not that uncomfortable.
"Shi'an?"
Suddenly, Chen Qiuyan's voice sounded in my ears, and I shivered, and quickly recovered from that state of daze.
At this moment, Chen Qiuyan and Wenren Bodhisattva were both looking at me, their expressions were full of worry, as if they had noticed something.
"You're not in the right shape." Wenren Bodhisattva frowned and said solemnly, "The situation seems to have gotten worse. ”
"Is there one?" I scratched my head, "I feel the same as before." ”
Wenren Bodhisattva didn't speak again, but suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed my right wrist, and helped me take my pulse for a while.
Soon, his expression became even more ugly.
"Why is your heart rate so slow...... Although the pulse is strong...... But it's too slow......." Wenren Bodhisattva muttered, looking at me in disbelief: "What the hell is going on?? ”
"I don't know." I shook my head, quietly withdrew my hand, and pulled my sleeve down: "Wenren senior, I still haven't figured it out until now." ”
Wenren Bodhisattva could also feel that I was deliberately diverting the topic, so he stopped asking and sighed, "You say." ”
"Listening to Situ and them, it seems that transporting my grandfather's body is a request from above." I whispered, "But those people are certainly not stupid, and they won't do things that don't make sense and can stimulate me, so there must be something wrong with this matter." ”
Wenren Bodhisattva frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "They should be trying to find something from your grandfather." ”
"On my grandfather?" I wondered: "Do you want to use our Shen family's villains to engage in scientific research?" ”
"I don't know." Wenren Bodhisattva sighed: "As far as I think, it shouldn't be a good thing. ”
At this time, I suddenly remembered something.
Not long ago, when Situ brought us cigarettes, although the cigarette case he threw to me was sealed and looked no different from the original, the weight of the cigarette was obviously much heavier.
There should be some things hidden inside, and these things are something that Situ doesn't want outsiders to know.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly took out the cigarette case from my pocket and opened it three times by five divided by two.
Just as I was about to pour out the contents, my mind flashed, and my movements slowed down a little.
The current Shen family is in a turbulent time, and the news of the old man's death has also spread all over the country, and there must be a lot of eyeliner hidden here......
"Qiu Yan, help me hold the umbrella, I'll light a fire and smoke a .......cigarette," I said, taking out a cigarette from the cigarette case and holding it in my mouth, before stuffing the cigarette case back into my pocket, I gently covered it with my palm, and quietly poured the contents into the palm of my hand.
After that, he lit a cigarette and took two puffs, without revealing the slightest flaw.
The contents of the cigarette case were small, and when I first opened the package, I saw a jade pendant the thickness of a thumb-sized coin.
It was supposed to be from Miao Wu, and I remember it very well, it had been hanging on his crutches all along.
What is Situ giving me this for??
If you want to give it to me as a souvenir, it is a little thought left to me by Miao Wuren, then there is no need to send it so secretly.
I pondered quickly in my mind, my little finger was slightly bent, and I rubbed it on the jade pendant a few times, and I could clearly feel the uneven lines.
"That's not right...... I remember that this jade pendant was used for decoration...... The top should be smooth and flawless....... How can there be lines......." I muttered to myself, rubbing my little finger a few more times.
This time I was sure and got a new answer.
The unevenness on the jade pendant is not a texture, it seems to be a word.
I stuffed the jade pendant into the trouser pocket on the other side, and generously re-touched it, and looked at it a few times in front of Chen Qiuyan and Wenren Bodhisattva.
As I guessed, the jade pendant was indeed engraved with words.
There are no punctuation marks, just five words in a row.
"There is revenge from the inner ghost."
Judging from the handwriting, this should be the handwriting of Miao Wuren, I have seen him write, and it is absolutely impossible to admit mistakes.
When I carved these words, the situation should have been very unoptimistic, and I could feel the sense of haste and urgency.
"You found it?" Wenren Bodhisattva asked me.
Chen Qiuyan didn't speak, pretended not to see anything, lowered his head and stroked the little head of the rat, and said nothing.
"yes, keep a thought." I laughed.
Judging from these five words, there are only two possibilities.
One is: there is an inner ghost to take revenge.
The second is: there are internal ghosts, give us revenge.
In any case, there should be inner ghosts, and the people who can be called inner ghosts by the old man must not be ordinary.
"I heard that the gentleman who led the team to destroy your Shen family this time was brought by two or three prophets from the old sect." Wenren Bodhisattva said in a low voice: "It's not a sneak attack, it's an open-minded way to find your grandfather." ”
"You've heard?" I asked.
The Bodhisattva snorted.
"You believe it?" I asked again.
Wenren Bodhisattva laughed and said no more.
"If that's the case, then there is no ghost involved, there should be ......something else," I said, holding the jade pendant tightly in the palm of my hand, and my brain was running quickly: "This matter is not so simple, I have to ask the person concerned." ”
"You mean ......."
"Yes, the easiest way is the most effective, it's just that the situation is so sudden that we forget about it." I smiled: "Don't you know if you summon a soul?" ”
