I drank in a daze, so I simply slept at Xue Qian's house. By the time I woke up, it was noon the next day.

Mr. Lu and I sat in the living room chatting. Xue Qian stared at her phone. Laugh from time to time.

Time passed quickly, and it slowly got dark.

Mr. Lu showed a cheap smile: "Zhao Mang, Mrs. Xue didn't blame me. Then I won't follow you to the empty house for the night. ”

I snorted and scolded secretly, "Mr. Lu, you are really a disgrace to the Taoist priests. ”

Mr. Lu cheekily said, "If you are willing to be a Taoist priest, you can give us a long face." ”

I slowly stood up and said, "Go, go." It's time to go back, too. ”

Aunt Xue asked me, "Don't you stay for dinner?" ”

I waved my hand. He said, "If you don't eat it, you can't eat it." As I walked, I said faintly, "I'm dying now." There is nothing to love. Hey, it's good that the clay figure monk is here. I followed him to the barren mountains to sit in dry meditation. ”

By the time I said this, I had already walked outside the gate. No one but me could hear me. Of course. This is indeed for myself.

I staggered out into the street. I saw that the street lights were already on. My mind still echoes the words I just said: "Clay Monk, Clay Man Monk." How did he endure loneliness and sit for a thousand years? ”

I couldn't help but whisper: "The clay man monk has lived for a thousand years, but this thousand years. It's no different from a day. I may not have many days to live, but my life is a hundred times more wonderful than ordinary people. However, if the clay figure wants to exchange with me, do I agree or disagree? ”

I looked up at the street lamp and compared it to the moon in the sky. I compared it for a while and thought, "If I can live a long life and be wonderful." That's great. No wonder emperors want to live forever. "Island Mu Pill Blood.

I was crazy, muttering quietly as I walked. Suddenly, someone shouted behind me: "Zhao Mang? ”

I was taken aback by this sound and hurriedly turned around. Behind him was a shadow, and no one could be seen.

At this time, the voice sounded again: "Zhao Mang? ”

I was so nervous that I didn't run away. Instead, he had the audacity to drink: "Who is it?" Come out. ”

At this time, a person came out of the shadows.

He asked cautiously, "Are you Zhao Mang?" ”

I looked at him twice by the street lights, and the more I looked, the more scared I became.

The man was fifty or sixty years old, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. It looks very elegant. But he had a dry pigtail trailing behind his head. He wears a long gray riding coat. It's like coming out of an old photo.

I took two steps back and pointed at him and drank, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

The old man arched his hand and said very carefully: "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Mugu." I am human, I am human. ”

I saw the shadow dragging behind him, and I had believed seven or eight points.

But I still asked a little strangely, "Are you human?" How do people dress like this? Looks like it came out of a coffin. ”

The old man sighed and said, "The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. Seeing that today's young people have forgotten their ancestors, I can't wait to enter the coffin in advance. ”

I didn't want to argue with him about this, but asked, "Do you know me?" Why are you calling me here? ”

The old man took out a pocket watch from his bosom, opened it, shook it at me, and said, "Ten o'clock, it is really the same as in the dream." That's when I met you, here. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "What do you mean?" Did you dream of me? ”

The old man sighed, and said as if he was very melancholy: "Yes, I dream of you every night. In my dream, I invited you to my house, but you refused. Every time you leave me alone. Then the heavens and the earth fell apart, and the houses collapsed. I died on this road. Then I woke up in bed sweating. It's been three days. ”

I wrapped up my clothes and looked at the empty street, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt evil.

I said, "You're just having a nightmare. It's best to go to a doctor. ”

The old man stood under the street lamp, one person and one figure. Looking very pitiful, he trembled and said, "Is it really just a dream?" So why did you really show up here? Exactly like in a dream? Little brother, I don't want to die, will you follow me home? ”

I shook my head and thought to myself: If you dress up cleanly and find a valid reason, it's one thing for me to be abducted by you. Now that you're so ghostly, if I follow you, wouldn't I be mentally retarded?

I said, "Old man Li, you also said it just now. Now the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. You'd rather lie down in a coffin. Now, isn't it just in time to get your fill? ”

The old man's body trembled and asked, "Little brother, are you going to see death or not?" ”

I saw the old man's pitiful look, and I couldn't bear it. But after so many days, I can be regarded as an old man. So I was ruthless and said, "Old man Li, I'm sorry. If your dreams are true. Then we should follow the procedure in the dream. I can't promise you. ”

Then, I turned around and walked away.

I took two steps and noticed something quiet behind me. There was no sound.

My heart moved: the old man must be really dead, right?

Thinking of this, I jerked my head back. At this time, I saw the old man standing under the street lamp. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of finely preserved teeth.

He's laughing.

The smile was so weird that I shuddered. Then turn around and run.

At this time, the old man spoke. He called out a little strangely: "Zhao Mang." You wait first. ”

I stood a dozen paces away from him and asked, "What else do you want?" ”

The old man looked up and looked at me carefully with his eyes through the lenses. The beard on his chin was curled up, obviously. The flesh on his face was shaking.

I was a little nervous and a little impatient, and said, "What do you want?" Speak quickly. ”

The old man said strangely, "When I dreamed for the last time last night, you followed me back. According to what you just said, it has to be exactly the scene in the dream. So, you have to follow me back today. ”

I waved my hand and said, "Old man, aren't you cheating?" How do you say change your words? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not cheating. You did go back with me. Because I said a word. Do you want to know what the words are? ”

I was piqued by his curiosity. "What words?" he asked. You said? ”

The old man's body shook violently, and then quickened his pace. Bent over and ran over.

I saw him suddenly come running, my heart pounded, and my body tensed.

Fortunately, the old man didn't plan to do anything to me. He was five paces away from me when he suddenly stopped. Then plop and get to your knees. The mouth shouted loudly: "Long live, long live, long live." ”

I looked at him dumbfounded. I didn't know what to do for a while.

The old man knelt reverently on the ground. The door of the head was pressed against the cold floor tiles. A whip slipped down and fell to the ground.

It took me six or seven seconds to react. He coughed softly. Then he said, "Old Man Li, what do you want to do?" Can you stand up? ”

I said this without trying to hold him up. Because I thought deep down that this old man was coming from the wrong way, and I didn't want to have any physical contact with him.

The old man slowly raised his head and looked at me expectantly. His body was still on his knees. And did not stand up.

I said helplessly: "Old man Li." Even if you do, I don't want to go back with you. I'm not the emperor, what are you doing kneeling and shouting long live? ”

The old man's lips moved, and then he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Because, because you are real?" Emperor. ”

As soon as I heard "Really? The four words "Son of Heaven" suddenly shook all over the body, like five thunderbolts.

I stood on the ground, trembling like the old man.

The old man's eyes were full of tears: "Now, can you go back with me?" In my dream, I said this sentence, and you decided to go back with me. ”

I stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and said, "Who the hell are you?" True? Who did you listen to about the Son of Heaven? ”
