Chapter 34: The Answer to the Question
It's just that at such a time, it is impossible for the village chief to give me an answer, and his whole attention is on the man on the island.
"Congratulations, you've seen a lot of things. And I'm here, you know, not without reason, I'm here to ask you a question. "That's the village chief's style, always direct.
But his words did not get an immediate response from the man.
Instead, the man began to bow his head, folding his fingers as if he was calculating something.
The village chief was not in a hurry, so he waited silently and even simply found a big stone on the edge of the deep pool and sat down, and Brother Zhengchuan looked at the cave with the same curiosity as I did.
But at this moment, the man stood up abruptly and said, "I didn't count wrong, if you have to ask, then this is the last question I will answer you." ”
One last question?
It seems that there seems to be some agreement between this person and the village chief?
But it wasn't for me to know, and my attention was drawn to a thick root.
Before, when the man was sitting, I couldn't see the final direction of one of the thicker roots, but people have an inertial mind, and in this kind of thinking, they will definitely feel that the roots of the trees must be like other roots, going down the rock wall and going deep into the water.
What I didn't expect was that the root of the tree turned out to be a sudden turn and took root on the island, and the position where the person was sitting happened to be leaning on the root.
There was nothing strange about this, it could only be said to be another miracle of nature.
But I didn't know why, I was attracted by this incident, but I remembered three or two leaves floating on the old tree in front of the grave, and a thought suddenly appeared in my mind: 'I'm afraid the time is almost up'.
But where is the root of this idea? I couldn't figure it out. This is often the case, what you know about Nie Yan will surface from time to time, but just like that, sometimes there is no antecedent, and a consequence will be directly given.
I was annoyed, but the village chief's words interrupted my train of thought: "The last question left?" But I don't think so, right? You'll answer five questions, which was the previous agreement, but I remember that even if you add the current questions, isn't it only four? ”
The man seemed annoyed, and said, "Don't fool me, the time you brought that old man here before, the question asked was not ordinary, we have said that the question should be counted as two questions." ”
The man spoke much more fluently this time, but his voice was still the same, with that discomfort that seemed to be knotted in his tongue.
But I heard it funny, is this a bargain in the wet market?
This inexplicable conversation diluted my nervousness here, so I simply found a rock to sit down and waited quietly for the village chief to negotiate terms with him.
In the face of that person's words, the village chief groaned, as if he was thinking, and then slapped his thigh with a sudden realization, and said, "Yes, why did I forget this stubble?" ”
This expression, I shook my head again and again, this village elder, his acting skills are too exaggerated, and he has negative scores
But it seemed that the person was very convinced, shaking his head and saying, "Yes, yes, it's good to remember it." ”
However, the village chief did not answer his words, but said with a very regretful look: "You told me just now that you have seen a lot of things. That's all right, but what's the point of seeing it alone, knowing it alone, and not telling the world? Of course, I understand, if you can't leak it, it's good to have someone to share it with, isn't it also good? Otherwise, if you know the heavenly machine, it will still rot in your stomach, so why bother to know the heavenly machine? ”
At this time, I naturally understood what the village chief meant.
He was actually 'playing a trick' and wanted that person to think about his words and be able to promise that he could answer a few more questions later.
But he didn't want to, in the face of the village chief's words, the man shook his head very seriously, and said: "You don't understand, Zizi is not a fish, you know the joy of fish." ”
There is no room for maneuver in this statement, but there is some truth in the fact that many people can't understand the suffering and loneliness, so they add others and sympathy in vain, who knows that others are not happy in it?
"Zhengchuan, Zhengling's sympathy is a good thing, but it is absolutely not allowed to be indiscriminate. Because compassion can also hurt. "Master used to say such things, right? I admit that I can't control my thinking when I think of Master, and the person who said before that the village chief brought an old man here.
I don't have to guess, I know it's Master.
As for why does sympathy hurt? I didn't understand it many years ago, but now I have a taste of it, for some people, no matter how hard it is, he wants respect, not sympathy.
"Hey, you guy, forget it." The village chief's 'temptation' failed, and after a short silence, he finally gave up, saying: "You know the world, but you are just a bystander, what is the point of not going to experience it yourself?" ”
This time, the village chief was not 'tempting' the person, but was really a little helpless and annoyed, and he didn't wait for the person to answer, and said directly: "Then a question, this child's soul is wounded, I want to ask where is the opportunity to cure his soul wound?" ”
"Okay." This time, the man replied simply, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
He sat down, not knowing what he was fiddling with? It seemed that there was a lot of clutter under him, but soon I heard the subtle crackling sound of his hand falling to the ground, and even saw that his hand was so fast that I could hardly keep up with his movements.
This person with three points of stupidity is really not simple!
I came up with this answer in my mind, but I didn't want the person to suddenly stop moving, suddenly turn to look at me, and say, "Birthday." ”
"Huh?" I subconsciously said 'ah', because cultivators have this taboo, except for the closest people, they will never lightly inform the people of life, if they are obtained by people with some means, then they can do a lot of articles.
Borrowing blessings and borrowing longevity is not a terrible thing, as long as people have the means, and you don't notice it.
"Birthday." The man seemed to get a little impatient and urged me again.
From his conversation with the village chief, I knew that this person might be a master of life, but this kind of master would do this? Thinking about it, I am still a little hesitant, not because I am not decisive, but because the environment I am in has taught me to be cautious.
"Give it to him." The village chief seemed to know the scruples in my heart, and inserted a sentence in the middle, and then said: "For an idiot like him, even if he is given a fairy eight characters, he will not care." ”
When the village chief said this, my heart relaxed a little.
In fact, if the people of Wangxian Village can't be trusted, who else can I trust? So, I no longer hesitated, and simply told the person the eight characters of my birthday.
The man didn't react when he heard this, but just looked at me indifferently and began to fiddle with the things on him again.
It didn't take long for him to stop, then he stared at the ground and began to mutter, not knowing what he was looking at.
Time passed in this silence, I don't know if it was a few minutes, or ten minutes, the person suddenly moved, turned his head sharply and stared at me, the sudden movement, I was startled, and I don't know what he meant?
But it wouldn't work for me to hold back, and I simply looked back at him.
His expression did not change, but he opened his mouth to say something inexplicable: "It turned out to be you?" ”
"What turned out to be me?" I subconsciously asked.
"It turns out that I still have this fate with you, and I can sit here today, it turns out that it is also you." That person seemed to have forgotten the taboo of answering people's questions lightly, and answered me in a rare way.
What is this? Repay me for letting him sit here?
However, the village chief coughed and interrupted our conversation, saying, "Don't talk about irrelevant things." You answered the question I was asking directly, right? ”
The man didn't seem to care, he raised his hands, and said with some conceit: "This problem is not difficult, and the opportunity is already on him, and the time is also appropriate, he only needs to go once, and this problem can be solved naturally." ”
"Don't talk brainlessly, since I asked you, it is also something you promised, so you can be more detailed." The village chief said angrily to the man.
The man ignored the village chief, looked directly at me and said two words: "Ghost market." ”
Ghost City? I suddenly remembered a scene not long ago, the man named Chen Chengyi gave me a note, on which there were some detailed addresses of ghost markets, and he told me that if I was free, I could really go for a trip.
It's just that there are so many things that I'm about to forget about jì, is this the opportunity?
"What are you?" The village chief was still dissatisfied.
"Village chief, he has already told me very clearly." I interrupted the village chief, neither the village chief nor Brother Zhengchuan knew the details of this, and only I could understand it.
I secretly admired this man in my heart.
But I didn't want to, this person's face changed, and he suddenly yelled at us: "Hurry up!" ”
