Chapter 9: Half a Day River
I looked at the shadow carrying the red lantern and kept circling around the grave, and asked nervously, "Is this the lantern ghost?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded: "That's right." This kind of ghost is very common. But they don't hurt anyone. I just like to charm the eyes of the living and take them around in circles, just like I did just now. But then again, although they don't harm people, they are ghosts after all, and if people are hooked by them, they will definitely get seriously ill. ”
I sighed, "It's bad luck. ”
Mr. Lu gave me a strange look, and then said, "You don't have to regret it here. You were taken out by me with three natal lamps, and your vitality was already greatly damaged, even if you didn't have today's lantern ghost, you would have a serious illness. ”
As soon as I heard this, I was speechless with anger. I stared at Mr. Lu for a while, and then said hatefully, "Do you know that my vitality is so badly injured that you still take me out to take me around?" ”
Mr. Lu said: "The ghosts here are not very daring, and strong men with a little more yang energy can frighten them. Moreover, what I want you to take in a while can't be stained with too much yang energy. It just so happens that you're so weak right now, so you're doing this job best. As for getting sick, don't worry, as long as I'm here, what disease can't be cured? ”
I scolded in my heart: "Lao Tzu also graduated from college, and now he doesn't go to the hospital when he is sick, and goes to find the dancing god, and the more he lives, the more he regresses." ”
I poked Mr. Lu and asked, "What will you let me pick up later?" ”
Mr. Lu pointed to the withered grass in front of him: "Rain." ”
I leaned over and looked at it for some reason, and by the light of the candle I saw the dew rolling down the blades of grass.
I pointed to the dew and said, "That's what you just smeared on my face?" This is what you call rain? ”
Mr. Lu nodded.
I stared at the blade of grass for a while, and suddenly remembered something, shook my head and said, "Mr. Lu, there is a problem here, I remember that the dew was formed when it was almost dawn." How is it now? ”
Mr. Lu smiled: "Boy, I feel more and more that you are a good seedling." That's right, dew usually appears at dawn. But this place is different. ”
I heard Mr. Lu say this, so I raised my head and observed where we were. This look makes me feel miserable.
Mr. Lu and I were simply squatting in a cemetery. The surrounding area is layered and densely packed, and it is full of grave bags.
I walked in behind Mr. Lu before, and I didn't look at the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but I didn't notice such a situation around me at that time.
No wonder there is dew here, the yin qi is so heavy, and it is not strange that there is blood.
Mr. Lu pointed to a large shadow in front of us and said, "The key is there. There is quite a lot of bamboo there. You walk over after a while and try to keep your breath as low as possible. Pick one of the thickest and gouge an eye out of it with this thing. ”
Mr. Lu said, taking out a very small wooden knife from his arms.
I looked at him as if I was sick: "Wooden? Digging a hole in the bamboo? ”
Mr. Lu explained: "This thing is made of peach wood, I have been raising it for more than ten years, it is hard and abnormal, you can try it." ”
I took the letter with suspicion. It's heavy to start with. I checked it, and it felt like it wasn't wood, but more like iron.
Mr. Lu asked proudly, "How is it?" ”
I nodded, "Yes, that's good." ”
Mr. Lu took out a small porcelain vase from his body: "After you dig a hole in the bamboo, water will flow out of it." You catch it with this porcelain vase. And then it's done. I might as well teach you a hand, this water is called the Bantian River, which is the divine water in the sky. Whoever is evil in the spirits, take a little and pour it into it immediately. ”
I took the porcelain vase and the wooden knife, and muttered in a low voice: "God chatters, I've been with you for a long time, and I'm mentally ill." ”
Mr. Lu smiled bitterly, then looked at the grave bag in the distance rather melancholy, and said, "I don't have much time to spend with you. ”
I heard him say something a little strange and asked, "What's going on?" Your kid has done too much evil, is your life going to the end? ”
Mr. Lu looked at me, didn't care about my poisonous mouth at all, but looked at me with some pity: "If I had met you a few years earlier, I would have taken you as an apprentice." Unfortunately, time is running out now. ”
I waved my hand: "Who is your apprentice?" What else would you do besides tricking people? But then again, why are you running out of time? ”
Mr. Lu looked at me with a strange expression: "Do you really want to know?" ”
I instinctively felt that this kid had some kind of conspiracy again, and hurriedly waved my hand: "I don't want to know." ”
Mr. Lu said with a dead face: "No, you have aroused my words, I have to let you know." ”
Then he lifted his robe. casually pulled it and ripped off the gown inside: "Look." ”
I glanced at it by candlelight, and then I saw a fist-sized depression in the center of Mr. Lu's chest, which looked shocking. Although I am not a doctor, I can still feel that this kind of injury, even in the hands of a famous doctor, is quite tricky.
Mr. Lu gently stroked the depression and said slowly: "Tanzhong wants to be acupuncture, and it is fortunate that he did not die on the spot after being hit like this." In fact, at the beginning, this place was only the size of a finger's belly, but over the past few years, it has continued to expand, and I can feel that I will not live to celebrate the New Year. ”
Life and death are a big matter, although Mr. Lu is a little damaged, but I know that he can also be regarded as a good person. So I couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic: "It turns out that you said that you can't stay with me for long, you are really going to die." ”
Mr. Lu smiled hesitantly: "Not really." Naturally, I don't want to watch myself die, so after the Martyrs' Shrine is built, I will go to a place. If you follow the rules, you will be able to heal the injury. ”
I was about to ask Mr. Lu again where he was going. He patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the moon in the sky, and said, "The hour has come, and it is time to get rainwater, just right, go quickly." Remember what I told you, calm down, and don't have too much emotional fluctuations. Also, don't be fooled by the lantern ghost this time. ”
I looked at the dark shadows that appeared in the graveyard, weighed it, and said, "Well, or you give me that tooth, let me hold it in my mouth, and if you have that thing, won't the little ghost let me go?" ”
Mr. Lu shook his head: "Your body is too weak to hold that thing now, otherwise, you will run out of oil and run out of lights, and you may die here." ”
I froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay then." Then I'm going now. ”
Mr. Lu squatted behind the grave and waited for me. I stood up on my own, step by step, trembling forward.
The dark shadows around them disappeared and reappeared. They took the form of all sorts of people I knew and dangled in front of me.
I always have a clear line in my heart. Ignore these imps. Slowly walked into the bamboo forest.
Mr. Lu said that he wanted me to find the thickest bamboo. I think the thicker the bamboo, the better the rainwater effect in it.
There is a moon in the sky, but you can't really see it. In desperation, I had to reach out and touch them one by one.
The top of the bamboo was also cold and wet with dew, and I touched it for a while, and suddenly thought to myself: "Bamboo is not like a human skeleton." The thick thigh bones, the thin hand bones, and the bamboo joints are the joints, and they are also hollow...... "After thinking about it like this, I was even more scared.
I looked back and saw that Mr. Lu's candlelight was still lit behind a grave bag. I calmed down a little and walked into the bamboo forest.
After walking for about ten steps, I suddenly noticed that the bamboo forest did not seem to grow randomly, and there was a faint path in the middle.
I followed the path in confusion. After a while, it suddenly dawned on me, and I saw a bamboo forest surrounding a clearing. And above the clearing, there is a very tall tomb.
As soon as I saw the grave, my first reaction was to turn around and leave. However, as I turned around, I saw three very thick bamboos growing on top of the grave, which was clearly what I was looking for.
I gritted my teeth and walked slowly.
I picked a bamboo knot, took out the wooden knife, and spun it to drill holes. However, at such a moment's notice, I suddenly heard a moan of "oops" ringing in my ears.
I shuddered and the wooden knife in my hand fell to the ground.
