Chapter 486: Heart-Feeding
I pointed to the policeman's body and asked, "What about him?" If the body is brought back, it will be another homicide. ”
Xue Qian suddenly looked at the coffin. said: "Isn't this coffin able to bring the dead back to life?" Let's put the corpse of this policeman inside, can't we? ”
Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "To come back to life, you need to have ** and have a soul." Put it in this coffin, gather the soul, and slowly merge with the **. Now the soul of this policeman has been devoured by the fungus. Put it in again, and it won't help. ”
At this time, a timid voice next to him said, "I just don't have a body." ”
I turned my head and saw that the person who said this was a monkey. He looked at the corpse and said, "It doesn't seem good if you can borrow the corpse to be reborn." I'm a lonely soul now, if I were to be reincarnated. The practice of this life will be in vain. ”
Mr. Lu smiled. said: "The beauty of a gentleman's adulthood. Let's do it. ”
I looked at the demon bones and said, "Do you want to bring these bones back?" ”
Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, the essence in the demon bone has long been absorbed by the dragon beard grass. It's not even a corpse now, it's just a few dry bones at most. ”
Xue Qian said: "It doesn't matter if it's dry bones or not, this thing is our trophy after all." Bring on, bring on. ”
The demon bone was huge, but when I tried to pick one up, I found it very light. It seems that as Mr. Lu said, the essence in the demon bone has been absorbed. Now there are only a few dry bones.
The three of us picked up the demon bones. The body of the policeman was then carried inside the coffin.
The tail-tailed monkey smiled at us. said, "Thank you. ”
Then he crawled into the coffin and lay down on top of the body. It looked like he was asleep.
Mr. Lu carried the heart in his arms, and then the three of us carried the demon bones on our backs, like three woodcutters chopping wood, and came down from the mountain.
From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. There were many people and the bones of wild beasts scattered around, and at first, we wanted to bury them, but then we thought about it, so we forgot about it. There are too many of them, not to mention, the soul is gone. This kind of funeral for people to see, there is no need.
When we returned to the village with the bones on our backs, it was already dawn. I found the old man inside the house and found him sitting in the yard, holding a pair of scissors to cut paper money.
I smiled and said, "Old man, we're back." ”
The old man was startled, hurriedly threw away the scissors, and filled the cut paper money into the fire.
He stood up and said happily, "You're back?" The first person in the past. ”
I found that although he was happy, he always stood far away, and did not seem to have any intention of coming up. I smiled and said, "Old man, we are people, not ghosts, don't worry, you see, we have a shadow." ”
The old man smiled and said, "I know that you are human, and you have never even had ghosts when you died on Monkey Mountain before. Everyone said that the Monkey Mountain Evil Gate, not only people dare not enter, but even ghosts dare not enter. ”
He may have seen that we were dirty, covered with grass juice, and hurriedly said, "Have you suffered a lot of sins on the mountain?" Go take a shower, I'll boil hot water for you. ”
The old man took good care of us, and we took a comfortable shower and changed into clean clothes. I don't remember much about the dangers of the first two days.
The old man picked up the teapot again and asked, "How is it?" Have you found the secret of immortality? ”
Let's be honest: "No, the secret of immortality is not so easy to discover. ”
The old man said with some disappointment: "I am almost eighty years old. I thought you would find out this secret, and I would live another hundred and eighty years. ”
Mr. Lu said with a smile: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. In the future, after a hundred years, it will not be bad to be reincarnated and become a human again. ”
I saw that he didn't wish the old man a better life than Nanshan and a hundred years old, and actually persuaded him to die generously, I couldn't help but want to laugh, Mr. Lu can be regarded as an outlier in the Daomen.
And the old man was not annoyed at all, but replied seriously: "Who knows what the next life will be like?" It wouldn't be good if you die and you're sent to hell and never be reborn. ”
Mr. Lu smiled: "As long as you accumulate virtue and do good deeds in this life, how can you go to hell after death?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly stopped the two of them. If this continues, the two of them will probably quarrel.
The old man asked, "Then what did you find on this trip to the mountain?" ”
Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "There are many demons and monsters on the mountain, and they are very dangerous, so we fled all the way and finally got down the mountain alive." ”
The three of us didn't discuss it, but we all agreed that it was better not to talk about things on Monkey Mountain everywhere.
The news of the change in Monkey Mountain could not be concealed for long. People are always curious, and it is estimated that in a year and a half, someone will have the courage to climb Monkey Mountain. However, we do our best, and if we can, we will hide it.
The old man didn't believe our words, he pointed to the pile of bones we had brought back, and asked, "Are these bones those of the monsters?" ”
Mr. Lu shook his head and said perfunctorily: "These are my fellow disciples, they used to break into Monkey Mountain, but they didn't succeed and died there, and I went this time to collect their bones." ”
The old man muttered in disbelief, "Is this a human bone?" It doesn't look like it. ”
We didn't wait for the old man to ask questions, and then diverted the topic.
I called Officer Shi and told him that the matter had been resolved. And I told him about the demon bones, and Officer Shi promised to help me arrange it and transport the demon bones back.
That night, I asked Mr. Lui, "What about that heart?" ”
Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "Give it over." ”
I shook my head and said, "No, there are already moles, and if you give your heart to them, you may not know what will happen." ”
Xue Qian said: "The news of the demon bone was first discovered by the old man Gu. We had to come here to save him, and this heart should be handed over to him, and as for what he does, it has nothing to do with us. ”
I nodded and said, "That's a good idea." ”
According to our plan, we will rest for a day and a night at the old man's house, and we will set off after dawn. I said to Xue Qian, "Do we want to say goodbye to the water ghost?" ”
Xue Qian said: "I really want to say goodbye, and by the way, ask them if they can give me a bag of gold and silver." But the matter of Monkey Mountain, it is better to keep it secret, after meeting them, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain how we escaped. ”
Mr. Lu also said: "Let's hurry up and hand over this heart to the old man, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and don't make extraneous branches for the rest." ”
The next day, we were full of food and drink and said goodbye to the old man. Before leaving, I left some money for the old man. The old man didn't want it at first, but at our insistence, he accepted it.
After we went back, we found the old man without stopping. The old man Gu has really recovered to normal. When he saw the heart, he was overjoyed and thanked me again and again.
I asked the old man, "What are you going to do with this heart?" ”
Old Man Gu said: "I don't know yet, I need to find a few trustworthy people to discuss." ”.!
I said, "Oni-sama once suspected a mole, so you'd better talk to him." ”
Old Man Gu nodded and agreed.
Before leaving, I thought about it for a while and said, "Those water ghosts by the Xiangjiang River have helped a lot, and the old man may be able to help them say a few good words......
Old Man Gu patted his head with his hand and said, "It should be, it should be." When I came back, I was so busy and so busy that I forgot about it. Those water ghosts, I'm afraid they're all calling me a liar, right? ”
I laughed and said, "The little ghost is in a hurry. If you can't see the results for a while, you will inevitably blame them. After two days, after knowing the truth, they will praise you again. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious, so as not to laugh at the generous. ”
Old man Gu smiled: "The little brother is very knowledgeable." ”
I smiled and said, "After going through so many things, can you not have a high level of knowledge?" ”
