My brother's words woke me up in an instant! Yes, we have been paying attention to Widow Chen, and even the godfather's affairs. But in this ring of things, there is a more important person, who has never appeared! That's the grandmother of the Chen family. I haven't seen much about the grandmother of the Chen family, and the Chen family belongs to a high-walled compound. I rarely interact with people outside, and I vaguely see it twice. But not much was spoken!

And my godfather and I have been living in Yizhuang, in the words of outsiders, it is a bad place.

A lot of people don't want to say anything more to us!

Originally, I thought that the grandmother of the Chen family was dead, but now it is Widow Chen who is dead, and the body in the coffin is also a widow! So where did the Chen family's grandmother go? For so long, there has been no news from him. Was it hidden by the Chen family, or was it really dead?

"Why didn't you tell the master about this?" I looked at the junior brother in front of me and asked a little strangely.

The junior brother shook his head: "I came to you for three reasons, the first reason is to tell you some things about me!" ”

Maybe it was because I saved him, so my junior brother reciprocated me and told me the truth: "I didn't know your godfather before, but your godfather knew my former master, that is, Li Tianjie!" ”

"Li Tianjie?" I was stunned and looked at the junior brother in front of me.

"I've always suspected that the master's matter may have something to do with your godfather's death!" After a pause, the junior brother said, "Because your godfather disappeared for a while, you should remember this, right?" During that time, my master also disappeared. I couldn't find any trace of him, and when he returned, he was already poisoned! If it's something else, I can understand that. But this picture turned out to be a liver and intestine inch! ”

I froze there, sorting out the relationship between these things in my head. But I was surprised to find that these things seemed to be linked one after another, constantly winding around my mind. It's like a ball of twine, and you can't find a head at all!

"In other words, when my godfather was killed, your master happened to meet someone he liked? And then I was poisoned by the liver and intestines? "I find these things a little hard to accept.

"Of course it's possible!" The junior brother looked at me quietly, and after a pause, he continued, "But do you think it's big?" ”

I thought about it for a while, looked at the junior brother in front of me and thought for a long time before shaking my head: "Are you suspicious that my godfather may also be one of the eight corpses?" In this case, it makes sense. The one who dealt with your original master, and the one who killed my godfather, may be a kind of person! Or maybe they're trying to achieve the same goal! But it's impossible, during this time, I studied the Eight Gate Corpses, and there is a huge difference between the death of my godfather and the Eight Gate Corpses! ”

"Corpses change!" The junior brother took a deep breath: "I didn't think about this link clearly, but after meeting Widow Chen today, I figured it out!" What's more, now that your godfather's body has disappeared, if it's an ordinary person, why did you steal his body? ”

I nodded, and it was.

"What about the second one?" I looked at the junior brother in front of me and asked again.

"As for the second one, watch out for some Adin!" The junior brother paused for a moment before he continued: "I feel that this person is not so simple, I can't see through him!" ”

"Probably not, right?" I was covered in a cold sweat. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head: "Adin has been following the master for so many years, and during this time, Adin has also done a lot of things for us." Although it is said that sometimes they will disobey us, but the heart is good. At least every time it's for a reason! If I were him, I would probably do the same thing! ”

The junior brother nodded: "So I just asked you to be careful of him!" Because I'm not sure about it. ”

"What about the third reason?" I'm very curious, what is the matter with my junior brother coming here?

The junior brother took a deep breath, and there seemed to be a sadness in his eyes. was about to speak, but there was another knock on the door, and the master's voice came outside: "You haven't slept, I see the light is on in your room!" Can I come in? ”

I got up first and let the master into the house.

When the master saw the appearance of his junior brother, he was a little surprised: "Yo he, you are also there, I saw that the light in your room was off, and I thought you were asleep!" ”

"Master!" The junior brother stood up and bowed respectfully to the master.

The master waved his hand: "Don't think about those false courtesies, sit down." ”

After finishing speaking, the master gently took out the hand behind his back, carrying a pot of old wine.

I took one look and was a little surprised!

The master never allowed us to drink, but the master himself did. Most of the drink is self-brewed - apricot blossom wine! At the time of the spring equinox, the mountains of apricot blossoms bloom! The master often took the hook by himself and went up the mountain to pick apricot blossoms. When I came back, I started making sake. It is then buried in the ground and can only be dug up and drunk after at least five months.

"Master, this ......" I was stuck there.

The master beckoned me to sit down: "We probably haven't had a drink together, but we've just eaten together." I have to say that this is indeed a pity, and today we will end this regret! ”

While speaking, the master opened the red clay seal.

A refreshing fragrance came out, and the master poured a small cup for the two of us: "Taste it, the proudest thing in the master's life is not to become a coffin master, but to have this skill in brewing good wine!" Don't talk big, if I go to open a tavern, it's definitely hot! ”

"Master!" The junior brother raised his head.

And the master stretched out his hand: "Taste it." ”

The junior brother stood up suddenly, and then, standing to the side, poofed, and knelt there: "Master! Please forgive the disciple for asking a question that should not be asked! ”

"You say!" The master's face changed slightly.

The corners of the junior brother's mouth twitched fiercely: "Are you running out of time?" ”

"Senior brother! What do you say......" I was startled at first and hurriedly scolded.

The master did not speak, but looked at the junior brother quietly. After a long time, he shook his head slightly: "It is worthy of being the apprentice of Li Tianjie of the Life Gate, this eye is the spiritual light, and you can see it?" ”

"Master......"

I was stunned there, and at this time, I finally understood what the third reason was in my brother's mouth!

But I still can't believe my ears. His eyes stared at the master, as if he wanted to know why this was the case.

The master laughed: "Why are you holding a strained face, people are born, old, sick and die, this is not a normal thing." I'm also a lot older, and dying isn't a bad thing for me! If it weren't for you two little bunnies who knew that they were going to die, I don't know how happy I would be! ”

While speaking, the master took out the wine glass in his hand, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently: "If you have to be reluctant, I am really reluctant to make the apricot blossom wine I brewed by myself!" ”

"Master, what the hell is going on?" I looked at the master with some puzzlement.

The master shook his head: "Don't worry, birth, old age, sickness and death do exist." Time is running out, and there is. However, as the coffin master, I have walked a lot in the way of the yang world, and the road of the underworld has not been less! If I don't want to die, Lord Yama will give me three more years! Drinking, drinking......"

The master pointed to the wine glass and said softly.

From beginning to end, the master did not answer my questions. It was as if I didn't care about my life or death, but my heart was even more uncomfortable.

I didn't have time to react to my godfather's death before. When I saw my godfather, my godfather was already a pile of broken corpses. I thought I was uncomfortable enough at that time, but now I realize that the more uncomfortable thing than accepting death is waiting for death!

Maybe I was a little unhappy in my heart, so I picked up my glass and took a sip directly.

The master looked at me with interest: "How is it?" ”

"Delicious!" I nodded!

The master smiled at me, as if he was very happy: "Sure enough, I didn't accept your apprentice in vain!" ”

I was a little speechless, and on the master's face, I could not see any fear of death. Or maybe he has already accepted it, but I just can't accept it in my heart now. I want to find out, what happened to the master? Why do you have to die?

However, now I finally understand the meaning of the master's words today!

This is to pave the way for me and my junior brother in the future. If after the master leaves, my junior brother and I can't control people, then I'm afraid this coffin master will be a shame even if he comes.

"What are you doing in a daze, Qin Yi, you also get up." The master was a little speechless: "Look at your senior brother, and then look at you." Your skills are indeed not small, but don't learn from your master! ”

Qin Yi took a deep breath, stood up gently, and patted the dust off his knees. Slowly sat down next to me!

And my brother and I both looked straight at the master.

The master laughed, he already knew the same thoughts of the two of us. However, he didn't answer, but took a sip of wine, and after a pause, he continued: "The coffin master is not easy to walk, three years of learning art, seven years of courage. In fact, it won't take more than three years to learn art! There are many coffins in this world, but there are few who can really be called masters! The road has to be walked on its own! ”

While speaking, the master looked at his junior brother: "Do you know why I have always favored your senior brother?" ”

The junior brother was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

"You, you can't walk the road of the coffin." The master looked at the junior brother: "Because your heart is not on this road!" ”
