Chapter 5: Vanity

Lao Yang saw that I was so determined and didn't shirk anymore, so he said: "The last time I saw him was in a small village in Yunnan, near the border of Yunnan, what is that village called... I don't remember it too clearly after a long time..."Lao Yang seemed to be in deep thought, and walked to the side and rubbed his chin in contemplation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I turned my head to the young man with the broken arm while Lao Yang was thinking: "Look, you have helped me so much, I still don't know what your name is, take the liberty to ask my brother's surname?" The young man with a broken arm said: "Didn't I say it, I am a person who has no identity, it doesn't matter who my surname is, as for whether I can help you or not, this is a trivial matter for me, anyway, I have no more vanity and a broken arm, and now I am a waste, I can only live by doing odd jobs, so even if I hold the key, it is useless."

I was speechless for a while, and he also felt that his words were inappropriate, so he added: "If you have to have a title, just call me Binzi, since I lost my identity, I have given myself a name called Wang Bin." I nodded to indicate that I understood, and then Lao Yang seemed to remember something and came to me and said: "Xiao Shen, I remember, the last time I saw that high-ranking person surnamed Yin was in a place called Zhenkang County on the border of Yunnan, and I can't remember the details." ”

When I heard the name of this place, I felt very remote, and I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart. "Can you come with me, then? After all, I don't know the place well, you are a person who has been there, can I bother you to lead the way? After I asked, I saw Lao Yang with a sad face and said: "I haven't been out for a long time, one is because of my appearance, and the other is because my legs and feet have not been so sharp since I was invaded by the void, and many times I have to rely on the help of neighbors to buy vegetables" Lao Yang sighed. Seeing that there was no hope of asking for help, I hurriedly said, "It's okay, even if I'm alone, I'm going to go, I can't watch myself become a ghost." ”

Before the words fell, Binzi next to me patted me and said, "I can accompany you, but I have two requests." When I saw that there was hope to go together, I was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly said, "If you have any requirements, just say it!" He said, "Because I'm just a part-time worker and don't have much money, so you have to help me reimburse my travel expenses for the first point." I said, "That's fine, the travel expenses are mine, but what about the second point?" "Second, you have to give me a reward of 10,000 yuan" Hearing this, I thought to myself, "This tour guide fee is a bit expensive, and I can't spend so much with a tour group, why don't you go to Yunnan?" Binzi's words pulled me back from my thoughts, and I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay! Seeing that I agreed, Binzi said, "You have to give me this money before you leave," I was suspicious and said, "If you run away, who will I go to?" He also smiled and said, "As for why you don't ask more, you'll know when the time comes" I turned my head to look at Lao Yang, who didn't speak but nodded, signaling that I believed him.

After negotiating with Binzi, they left each other a phone call, and the departure time was set for three days later. Then I thought that the box was Lao Yang's thing, and I couldn't take it for nothing, so I took some money to Lao Yang, and when I left, I packed the ancient scroll and the booklet along with the box key and took it away. Before leaving, Lao Yang seemed to tell me mysteriously, saying that there was a village called Baiyan Village next to that small county town, and I heard that it was very haunted, so I asked me to be more careful, and I didn't take it too seriously.

After leaving Lao Yang's shop, everyone parted ways, and it was almost dusk. On the way back, I sorted out my thoughts as I walked, thinking about the events of the past two days, and suddenly I felt like I had been bumped, and when I came back to my senses, I found that the box I had been holding in my hand was gone. The booklets, scrolls, and keys were small things in my pocket, and I touched them and luckily they were still there.

Could it be that the person just now snatched my box? I looked back and saw a man running around with my box in his hand, and I didn't even think about turning around and chasing after him. Due to the distraction and delay for some time, plus I didn't eat anything today, I ran with him for a while, and I didn't know where I ran around several small alleys, I felt that I really didn't have the strength, and the speed slowed down, but he turned around and ran into another alley, I saw that I couldn't catch up and had to stop, leaning over my knees and panting heavily.

Before I could catch my breath, a scream came from the alley where the man had run in, followed by a deathly silence. I slowed down and walked to the mouth of the alley tremblingly, due to the rapid panting just now, my brain was a little deprived of oxygen, and some eyes were full of stars, I rubbed my eyes and tried my best to see clearly.

It was a dead end, and I saw the man standing by the wall at the end of the alley in a daze, swaying from side to side, as if he was still muttering something. Since I was a little far away, I couldn't hear him muttering something clearly. I crept slowly closer to him trying to hear what he was saying, and I could hear him just a dozen paces away from me.

He faced the wall and kept saying, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die...... In a trance, I saw his drooping hand holding my box tightly, and through the dim sunlight I found that there was a grown mark on his arm, and my heart suddenly tightened, thinking: "Why did his seal grow so quickly, but I didn't, even Binzi didn't say a word about the rapid growth of the seal, could it be that ordinary people can't touch it?" Or is it something else? "I searched my head for everything I wanted to know, trying to find the answer to my question, but I couldn't find anything.

Just then he fell silent, and there was silence around him again, and as soon as he let go of the hand he was holding the box, the box crackled and rolled aside, and I saw that this was the best time to get it back, and moved a few steps forward. Just as I walked behind him, and was about to crouch down and reach for the box, he suddenly turned around, and at this time I saw his face like the second old Yang, his face was like a withered face, but the difference was that his eyes were bright red like blood, and he was like he couldn't see me, and he kept tearing his clothes with his hands while wailing. Seeing this, I couldn't help but think about it, so I grabbed the box, then rolled on the ground, and leaned against the wall at the end of the alley, so as not to hurt me by mistake by his crazy actions.

I didn't know what I could do, and my brain went blank. I saw that after he ripped off all his clothes, he leaked out of his upper body, and suddenly his face showed a fierce light, and with a force of both hands, he plunged ten fingers into his chest, and suddenly blood gushed out like a waterfall, and then immediately with another force, he pulled out a few ribs alive. I was stunned, my hands and feet kept shaking, and I tried to struggle to get up and run away, but my hands and feet didn't obey me at all, and I could only watch him pull his ribs out of his body one by one, and just as he pulled out the last rib, he stopped.

He turned to look at me, his eyes were bloody and tearful, and he choked up and said two words "Help~me~" Looking at his chest that had been torn open by himself, and the heart that was still beating inside, I wished that someone would knock me out with a stick, so that I would not witness this horrible tragedy.

Just when I thought it was over, he seemed to use the last of his strength to grab his beating heart, tear it out of his chest with all his might, and then fell to the ground with a thud. As he fell to the ground, I fell headlong to the wall and fainted......

I don't know how long it took, I finally woke up, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the hideous-looking corpse facing me, so frightened that I crawled and shrank back into the corner, and almost passed out again, I looked at the seal on my hand for fear that I would become like this, but fortunately, it only grew a little.

I grabbed the box and stood up with difficulty, and rubbed along the wall to the mouth of the alley step by step, and finally forced myself to the side of the street, with mixed feelings in my heart. Thinking that I couldn't just leave, I took out my phone and called the police. To avoid trouble, I called the police and pulled out my phone card and threw it in the trash. After that, I dragged my heavy steps back home, changed my clothes, took a shower, and still felt palpitations, and did not fall asleep until the next morning, just stared blankly at the ceiling.

Seeing that it was dawn, I hurriedly picked up the phone and plugged in the phone card I used to spare, called Lao Yang, told him what happened after I left yesterday, and asked him if he knew what was going on.

Lao Yang was also amazed after hearing this: "When I first introduced the void, I heard the master surnamed Yin mention that the void is not something that ordinary people should be exposed to, if it is a person who does not have a void himself, he should be able to hide as far as he can." At that time, it was also because I listened to the advice of the masters, otherwise I would have died a long time ago. ”

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I asked, "Is that because I, like Binzi, are born with a void and are slower to be eroded?" Lao Yang said: "Well~ it is very possible." Suddenly, I thought of another question and continued to ask: "Then the box in your store was the first one you came into contact with, why wasn't you engraved with the seal?!" After listening to my question, there was only silence on the other end of the line. After a while, Lao Yang said: "The question you asked, since the incident between you and Binzi, I have been thinking about it, why is it just that I am fine......
