Although I asked, I already thought in my heart that since he was doing this business, then his death must also be related to this business. Sure enough, Mr. Zou said, "Because of a bowl." ”

I asked, "What bowl?" ”

Mr. Zou looked at me meaningfully and said, "A pure black milky porcelain bowl." ”

A plain black milky porcelain bowl? I don't know much about the types of porcelain bowls, but pure black bowls are very rare, and generally the porcelain bowls used at home are either flowered or clay bowls. But now no one uses earthen bowls, I heard Mr. Zou say this, so I looked at Mr. Zou and said, "I remember when I was a child, there was a pure black bowl like this you said, but I don't know if it was a milky glaze, but then it disappeared." ”

I recalled this bowl I had seen when I was a child, because this bowl was very special, so I was particularly impressed, and Mr. Zou heard me say, "You did have such a bowl in your family, but then this bowl disappeared." ”

When I heard Mr. Zou say this, he seemed to know the whereabouts of the bowl, so I asked him, "Where did you go?" ”

Mr. Zou replied, "It's hidden." ”

I was stunned for a moment: "It's hidden, why?" ”

Mr. Zou said: "This has something to do with Wu Xiaoquan's death. ”

I sorted out the time of Wu Xiaoquan's death and the time when the bowl in our house was hidden, and there was a gap of more than ten years. Could it be that something has happened in the past ten years after Wu Xiaoquan's death?

Mr. Zou said: "My master checked the origin of this bowl, this bowl was originally a pair, and the most recent record was in the hands of a rich man at the end of the Republic of China. Locked with a box, but then the rich man because of the war and the whole family died, this pair of bowls disappeared without a trace, until later Wu Xiaoquan inadvertently received this one from an unknown person, only to find out that this is an antique, so it was carefully collected, who knows that it was only a few days, the person died, my master went to help him preside over the funeral, he said that Wu Xiaoquan's death and this bowl has an absolute relationship. ”

Hearing this, I asked, "What's so special about this bowl?" ”

Mr. Zou said: "It is said that these bowls are not for the living, but for the dead, and they should not exist in this world. It was just brought back from the underworld by someone, and it was handed down like this. ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "For the dead?" ”

Mr. Zou said: "I haven't seen it and don't know what it looks like, but my master probably can't be wrong when he says that." ”

I was shocked. Then he said, "So you think that the reason why these things are happening in my family is because of the relationship of keeping this bowl?" ”

Mr. Zou said: "I'm still not sure, after all, there are too many clues. I can't figure it all out, but I asked your grandmother and your grandfather, and they both said that this bowl was left by your grandfather, and as for how your grandfather got it, they don't know, but how you got it. It is inseparable from the half-immortal, and I wonder why this may be the reason why the half-immortal borrowed Wu Xiaoquan's corpse to return the soul. ”

I heard what Mr. Zou meant, so I asked, "You mean that the half-immortal and my grandfather know each other?" ”

Mr. Zou looked at me. He said: "It's not so much that the half-immortal and your grandfather know each other, it is more appropriate to say that my master and your grandfather are old friends, I couldn't figure out this problem earlier, but then when I thought about this stubble, I suddenly felt clear, and the half-immortal followed the master at the earliest." And there is one thing, I always feel that the age of the half-immortal is a bit inconsistent with your grandfather, but my master's age is just right. So I have a speculation that your grandfather and my master used to do something together, and it was this incident that caused your grandfather to get one of the black bowls, and why the other black bowl didn't get it, for the time being, I don't know. ”

When I heard Mr. Zou say this, I asked him, "Did your master tell you all these things?" ”

Mr. Zou shook his head and said, "My master has never mentioned anything to me about this. It's just that after I got involved in these things in your family, especially these things in you, I found more and more that many things began to be related to my master and the half-immortals. So I started to figure out some of these things, until I found these clues. ”

Still confused, I said, "But what you're saying is just speculation after all. It is still unknown whether my grandfather and your master went through what happened to get this black bowl as you said, and it is impossible to determine where they went and what they went through. ”

Mr. Zou said: "It's not that it's impossible to be sure, you look at this room full of corpses. ”

I don't know why all of a sudden Mr. Zou mentioned this room full of corpses, I looked at him and asked, "What does the corpses in this room have to do with what we just said?" ”

Mr. Zou said, "If my guess is correct, this should be the place where my master and your grandfather experienced something back then." ”

I looked at Mr. Zou in horror and asked him, "How do you know, did you find something?" ”

Mr. Zou said: "The half-immortal followed my master first, and Wu Xiaoquan borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul, so can you say that." The reason why the half-immortal was able to borrow Wu Xiaoquan's corpse was entirely because Wu Xiaoquan got the relationship of this black bowl, and Wu Xiaoquan, who was borrowed by the half-immortal to return his soul, chose to bury himself here when he was about to die, and the deep meaning of this has to make people think deeply, so I guess this is the place to find the black bowl. ”

I have to admire Mr. Zou's thoughtfulness to connect these subtle connections one by one. And I couldn't imagine that I looked at Mr. Zou with some sudden realization and said, "So that day you came out of the depths of the forest to explore this matter." So what did you find? ”

Mr. Zou shook his head, but nodded again, and then said, "I have found some clues." But I don't seem to find anything, otherwise I wouldn't be here again, and I always feel like these clues have something to do with you. ”

I looked at Mr. Zou and said, "What does it have to do with me?" ”

Mr. Zou said: "I have always felt very strange that you ran into evil for no reason, went crazy again, and then got better. And you have a lot of crazy things that seem crazy, but they seem to be another kind of hint that you have experienced something or seen something. For example, when you were crazy, I happened to come for a while, and I heard you keep saying that your grandfather has a notebook, and you have to find it to save the living, although the rest is crazy, but your grandfather has a notebook, and your grandfather and your grandmother both think that this is your imagination, but I think that maybe your grandfather really has such a notebook, which records how they got this black bowl, and I think you have seen this notebook at home. ”

Sure enough, it is no wonder that Mr. Zou said that many of my conjectures come from the expansion of reality, but I have no impression or memory of what Mr. Zou said, and I said, "But I don't know where this notebook is." ”

Mr. Zou looked at me and said, "Maybe you know, but you hid it unconsciously." But that's what we're going to do when we get back to your house, and now we're going to do how to find the secret of this bungalow. ”

I looked at the rotting corpses inside and asked, "What's the secret here?" ”

Mr. Zou looked at the corpses on the ground and the abandoned simple house, and said to me, "You haven't thought about why these people died here, and why no one has been found for so long, and why they have not even been resettled?" ”

I felt that Mr. Zou had something to say, so I didn't speak and just looked at him, Mr. Zou looked at me again and said, "This can only show one problem, the forest here is not very deep, to say that no one has ever been here, I absolutely don't believe it, but why no one has found these corpses, I suspect that this simple house is not for everyone to see, maybe it does not exist in this forest at all." ”
