The old man didn't seem to hear Mr. Lu's words. His gaze remained on the spiritual seat.

He walked over slowly. Mr. Lu and I hurriedly got out of the way.

I saw the old man faltering, and his broken leg was still unable to use his strength. I reached out to help him, but just after I moved, I realized that he was a ghost.

I hesitated for a while, but I didn't dare to make a move.

I looked at the broadsword behind me and quietly lowered it into the distance.

When I returned, I saw the old man crouching in front of the spiritual throne and grabbing a handful of pine nuts from his bosom.

He buried the pine nuts under the spiritual seat, and while burying them, he said, "This kid likes to eat pine nuts the most." Many of the pine nuts in the mountains fell in the valley, and I often picked them up and kept them for him to eat. ”

When I think of the child sitting at the door of the stone house peeling pine nuts, I can't help but feel emotional.

The old man slowly stood up from the spiritual seat, and then said lightly: "Many people have not been here anymore. If you are seeking medical treatment, forgive the old man for being incompetent. A quack doctor can't cure you. ”

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "We are not here to seek medical treatment. We are visiting friends. ”

The old man turned around and said suspiciously, "Visiting friends? ”

Then, he suddenly realized, looked at Mr. Lu and said, "Isn't this a little Taoist?" ”

I saw Mr. Lu's face full of vicissitudes, and he was actually called a little Taoist. It feels a little funny. But considering the age and seniority of the old man, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Mr. Lu said: "Senior, you finally remembered me. In the past, you and my master were close friends. ”

The old man said with emotion: "Why did you suddenly become so old?" The last time I saw you, you were a young man. ”

Mr. Lu said: "Senior, ten years have passed. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said silently: "Ten years?" Time flies. ”

I whispered to Mr. Lu, "Guess, does he know that he is dead?" ”

My voice was small, but I didn't expect it to be heard by the old man. He smiled at me and said, "Of course I know I'm dead. My corpse is not far from here. All that counts, I've been dead for almost a decade. ”

When I heard the old man say this, I couldn't help but say, "Why don't you go back and see your apprentice?" He waits for you every day, and he has a hard time. ”

When the old man heard me say this, his face was full of sorrow. He slowly squatted down and said with a sad face, "Why don't you go back?" Why don't I go back? Here was a delay of ten years. ”

He cried as he spoke.

I looked at the old man crying bitterly, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Mr. Lu said: "Senior, it's useless to cry, it's better to go back with us now." to be reunited with your apprentice. ”

The old man stood up, nodded, and said, "That's right, go back now, go back now." I don't know how long my broken leg can last. ”

Mr. Lu glanced at me and said, "Zhao Mang, help your seniors." Then he picked up my big knife and carried it on his back.

I swallowed nervously and spat, then grabbed the old man's arm. I felt a chill reach my arm. The blood flow in the blood vessels has slowed down.

I peeked at the old man. This is the first time I've seen a ghost so close and peaceful.

I saw that he was gray-skinned, very much like a newly dead corpse. On the back of his neck, there are patches of corpse spots, which should have been caused by lying on his back when he was dying.

There was no blood on the old man's body. His lips were white and chapped. His eyes weren't as scary as those of a ghost, but the black-eyed Ren was a lot bigger than a normal person. And it's so erratic that it seems impossible to focus.

After I secretly glanced at these few times, I didn't dare to look at it again, but trembled and helped him away. I hope to return to the stone house as soon as possible, and it can be regarded as the completion of the task.

Although nominally I was supporting him, in fact, his body was light and weightless. I'm afraid that this kind of "support" will help more in the spiritual sense.

The three of us walked for a while, and there was the old man's body in front of us.

I deliberately blocked the corpse so that the old man could see it. lest he run away like the little child.

However, when the old man walked near the corpse, he suddenly stopped. He said, "I haven't been there again." I've been on the move for the past 10 years. ”

I saw that there was a lot of gravel ahead, but it wasn't too difficult to walk. Like the road behind you, it's flat.

I said a little strangely, "Why don't you go forward anymore?" Is there something that won't let you pass? ”

The old man looked at me suspiciously, and then said, "Is my body here?" I remember it was here. ”

When I heard the old man say this, I thought to myself, "Since he knows where his body is, he should see it often." I let him look at it twice, it shouldn't be fine, right? ”

So I stepped aside.

The old man let go of my arm, and he staggered over to his corpse. I saw him bend over and grope back and forth over the corpse. While groping, sighing. It seems to sigh that he died like this.

After a while, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he hugged his head and said, "I can't leave here, I can't go." I can't go. ”

I was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why can't you go? ”

The old man said bitterly, "I don't know, but I can't go." "The island is bloody.

I asked, "Are you reluctant to give up the body?" Don't worry, I'll wrap up your body and take it with you. ”

The old man suddenly seemed to be mad, he jumped up, reached out and grabbed my arm, and said miserably: "I can't go, and neither can the corpse." Can't go. ”

I saw his pupils dilated, and the black eyes were already full of eyeballs. At this time, the old man is no different from the ghost.

I looked at him in horror, and called out in a stack of voices: "Mr. Lu, hurry up and save your life." ”

Mr. Lu threw the big knife on the ground, walked over, and then said softly: "Old man, you don't have to worry, we will help you find a way." We're here to help. ”

Mr. Lui's voice was soft, like a kind mother coaxing her baby. The old man was indeed appeased by him. Slowly quiet down.

The old man let go of me, and the expression on his face returned to normal. He said apologetically, "Little brother, I'm sorry for you." ”

Then he slowly sat down on the ground, staring at his skeleton in a daze.

I pulled Mr. Lu aside and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with this old man?" Why don't you leave here? And suddenly I went crazy and scared me half to death. ”

Mr. Lu said to me: "Ghosts have obsessions, especially if they have any unfulfilled wishes in life, they will never forget them. A kind of Cheng dù says that the ghost is a bit like a mental patient, and if you don't solve his obsession, he will always wander around doing something. ”

I asked Mr. Lui, "So what is his obsession?" ”

Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "This, I don't know. ”

He took two steps towards the old man, and then said, "What have you experienced here, senior?" Talk to us and see if we can help you. ”

The old man slowly raised his head and said, "What has you experienced?" It's been ten years. I wanted to go back and see the drooping hair, but I couldn't leave, and I didn't know why. I had to engrave a spirit tablet here to commemorate him from time to time. ”

I scratched my head and said, "You haven't done anything for the past ten years, just wandering around the valley?" ”

The old man nodded.

I glanced at Mr. Lu and said, "He didn't do anything after he died, and his obsession should have arisen before he died." ”

Mr. Lu said, "Senior, can you tell us about what happened after entering the mountain?" ”

The old man thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. I heard him say, "When I entered the mountain, I made a vow." said that if he did not practice medicine, if he violated this oath, he would definitely die in the valley. And after death, he was spurned by others, and he bore the name of quack doctor for the rest of his life. ”

I thought to myself, "By dying in the valley, you have fulfilled your vows." ”

The old man continued: "The drooping hair is sick. I'm in a hurry. Caught in a dilemma. You two have already met him, haven't you? Then you should know where I was at the time. ”
