"I won't beat you." I feel that Gou Banxian's expression and tone show that this hexagram has calculated an unexpected result: "Say it." ”

"This, let me tell you first, a person's mouth can tell nonsense, but hexagrams do not lie." Gou Banxian looked behind him again, speaking carefully and tabooly, his voice was very low, and said: "You listen carefully, don't be fooled, that person, he is not your father!" ”

"What?" I didn't expect Gou Banxian's performance to be such a result, something that had been completely determined, suddenly unrecognizable, the ugly face was not Chen Yinglong? He's not my dad?

I was at a loss, Gou Banxian's hexagram would not deceive people, but the expression of the ugly-faced man when he spoke to me at that time, the tears, and Maitreya's narration, would it deceive? I thought about it, when Gou Banxian divined the hexagram for the second time, the money tortoise shell was obviously abnormal, which clearly meant that the ugly-faced person was not normal.

"Who could he be?"

"Divination can only calculate a person's luck and fate, and it is impossible to calculate the real name. He was very difficult to deduce, and he was so well disguised that he almost missed it. Gou Banxian said: "His life has also been half covered, it sounds very strange to say, how old is this person?" Forty-somethings, right? The character of the first half of his life has been erased and cannot be deduced, otherwise, he can still make an inference based on those past events. ”

I was stunned, the life of the ugly face is completely opposite to me. I'm vague in the second half of my life, and he's vague in the first half of my life.

"Could it be because of the Life Continuation Diagram?" I asked, grandpa said that his father was killed by the calculation of the arrangement, he can live, he must rely on the continuation of the life chart, the life is broken, and it is continued, there will definitely be a break point in the middle.

"It has nothing to do with the life continuation chart." Gou Banxian shook his head and said: "Life and life are two different things, the wind and horses and cows are not related, there is no such possibility, anyway, there are so many hexagrams, you must be careful." ”

What's going on? I thought about it again and again, Gou Banxian wouldn't lie to me, and Maitreya certainly wouldn't either, but two people who could be trusted gave two completely different statements, who should I believe? After Gou Banxian finished speaking, he changed the topic, and I stood up alone, and the ugly-faced man sat not far away, as if he was used to complete loneliness, and sat motionless. I wanted to talk to him again, but I didn't know how to speak.

At this time, the two little girls were laughing and playing, and ran to me a few times, and the docile woman was afraid that they would cause some trouble, so she quickly followed. The two little girls may have been used to being pampered, but as soon as the woman approached, they ran to the other side with a smile, so that several people could not live in peace. The docile woman smiled helplessly and turned to look at me. I didn't know her well, I hadn't even spoken a few words, but she seemed to be able to read my eyes, she could read my expression, and she knew that I was engrossed in looking at the ugly-faced man sitting quietly not far away.

"What are you thinking?" The docile woman is not outstanding, but as soon as she speaks, she always feels a faint warmth in her heart, she adds some firewood to the fire, many details can show a person's temperament, this woman is not very old, about thirty years old, her hands are full of calluses, and she may always be constantly doing housework and doing all kinds of work.

"Nothing." I don't want to say too much, but this woman is impossible to reject.

"My surname is Zhou." The woman sat down and said, "If there's nothing to do, let's talk." ”

"Surname Zhou?" I retracted my gaze, and then thought of the flower-tailed cat that the two little girls were carrying, and immediately vaguely understood something: "Is it from Zhou Laomao's house?" ”

"Yes." The woman was very simple, and although she was mild-mannered, she did not procrastinate in her speech.

The Zhou family is also one of the 36 side doors of the river beach, and the family has been chasing corpses for generations, but the end is also the worst. More than ten years ago, the general environment was not the same as now, and the people on the side were basically underground, and they didn't dare to do anything blatantly. The Zhou family must have offended someone in some private work, or did something that should not be done for others, and finally caused a catastrophe, a fire broke out in the house, and the old and young families were burned to death in the fire. At that time, there was chaos, and many public departments were in a state of semi-paralysis.

In fact, there are a lot of strange things in that matter, the insider later said that the fire of the Zhou family was too strange, the fire could not be extinguished with water, and the family was a living person, and since the fire could not be extinguished, couldn't it run? But the people in the family were burned to death like that, and if you think about it privately, someone must have blocked their door. Many things are actually just a faint line, and if you can't see it, forget it, and once you see it, you will have other ideas. I remembered that when I first met Jinbao, there were no big cats around him at all, but the second time I met, there was a big cat helping him to lead the corpse. The Zhou family chases corpses, there are many secret techniques, and the kind of corpse-attracting cats can only be raised by them.

The big black cat next to Jinbao must have been given by the woman of the Zhou family.

"Are you suspicious?" The woman said, "Actually, you shouldn't be suspicious. ”

"You know what I'm thinking?"

"If you have something, if you don't say it, it doesn't mean that others can't see it." The woman sighed and smiled, but her eyes were a little red: "Whoever you suspect, you shouldn't doubt him." ”

"Why?"

"He's the best guy in the world." As the woman spoke, tears welled up in her eyes: "He is willing to die himself, to let others live"

My heart was touched at once, and indeed there are many words that do not need to be said explicitly. Dad would have made a bad calculation of the rehearsal back then, just because he was enthusiastic, and if he had a little selfishness, he would not have died. Thinking of this, the fire of the Zhou family and the ugly-faced man's almost unrecognizable face were immediately linked. Nine times out of ten, the women of the Zhou family were rescued from the fire by the ugly-faced people at that time.

"He has hardships, you have to be considerate, he is the most difficult, and he has endured all the hardships"

"Yes." What I'm thinking about now is not just about ugly people. I think that our seven gates have not always been in the passive state of being surrounded and suppressed. The sarcophagus town river needs a large number of Yin soldiers, and it also needs corpse chasers, and the Zhou family is likely to have been driving out corpses for Qimen since a few years ago, and it is because of this that they will be wiped out.

My heart was touched, probably by this woman's words from the bottom of my heart, but at the same time it was a mess. As soon as the night was dark, Lei Zhenren and they were all honest, napping around the fire, I couldn't sleep, stayed up until the second half of the night, suddenly felt empty in my heart, stood up and looked around, only to find that the ugly face man and the woman of the Zhou family took two little girls, and I don't know when they left quietly.

They were all gone, without a trace, and I felt a sense of drowsiness. When it was dawn, Gou Banxian wanted to continue to find the whereabouts of his grandfather Lao Gou, Lao Fuba looked confused, but he was actually an idle old man, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. The three of us were left, and after a little discussion, we continued to embark on the journey and continue to look for rootless water.

There is no rain in winter, and that kind of search actually doesn't make much sense, and the wax moon is halfway through, which is the coldest time. Anyway, there is no hope, the journey slowed down, seven or eight days in a row, only walked a hundred and ten miles, in winter in the field can not stay up, not afraid of the cold, but eating and rest are problems, one or twenty miles away from the river beach, there is a village surrounded in a small mountain col. The village was pitifully small, with only a dozen households, and I had planned to borrow someone's fire, but when I stood outside the village, I paused, and the more I looked, the more strange it became.

The houses built in the villages on the river beach are generally not elaborate and planned. However, in this village with only a dozen households in front of me, all the houses are surrounded by gates facing east, and there are complex wooden frames between the houses, which suddenly look like an octagonal courtyard. This kind of structure invisibly reminds me of the octagonal tower of Tongling Mountain. I don't know if it's a coincidence, the octagonal building of Tongling Mountain has been completely deserted, maybe when the people of Jiuli rushed there, there were not many people from the Tang family, and three or four hundred miles away, this octagonal village appeared again, which immediately attracted my attention.

We then became more cautious and slowly approached the side of the village. The structure of this village is a bit complicated, and there are dense wooden shelves everywhere between the houses, and you may not see anything when you look at it from the outside. The quiet village exudes an indescribable weirdness, and the atmosphere makes people feel uneasy. The three of us did not dare to go any further, nor did we dare to rush in, so we hid near the entrance of an octagonal house and watched carefully.

"It looks quiet, but it's unstable." Maitreya touched his chin and thought about it, with a smile on his face, he turned his head and whispered to Lei Zhenren: "Old Lei, you are bold and careful, well-informed, and the most neat mouth. ”

"I'm sure I can't do it" Lei Zhenren, a well-known chicken thief, immediately refused.

"Surely you can." Maitreya didn't say a word, he pushed Lei Zhenren out at once, and he used a lot of strength, Lei Zhenren rolled on the ground, got up and scolded quietly, muttering while walking towards the entrance of the octagonal house.

But the whole courtyard seems to be completely empty, Lei Zhenren looked at the entrance for a long time, no one was seen, he tried to shout again, did not receive any response, Maitreya gestured, let him walk inside, but Lei Zhenren refused, the empty octagonal house also made him feel unsteady, he glanced at it a few more times, turned his head and wanted to leave, at this time, there was a soft sound in the octagonal courtyard, Lei Zhenren didn't even have time to call, and was suddenly pulled into it by something.
