I clenched my hands, the corners of my eyes were sour, and the person seemed to be stuck in an abyss, constantly falling.

Just as this feeling became stronger and stronger, Jiang Xun's hand turned up and held my palm tightly.

The difference is that this time, his hands are warm, like in the snow and ice, you are walking with difficulty, and the only hand stove is hidden in your sleeve.

I settled my mind, knowing that it was an illusion, and when I looked up and took that step, the glow in front of me pierced through the layers of dark clouds, shattered like rain, and fell into my eyes.

I raised my hand to block the light of that moment, and there was a white expanse in front of me, and when I got used to it, I turned around, and there were three people, all of whom were standing behind me safely, all of them looking stunned.

For a long time, Tang Jiao looked at the barren mountain in front of him and asked in a daze, "Did you see anything just now?" I like, I heard my dad calling me behind my back, telling me to go home and see my mother, don't keep running outside, I'm tired and panicked. ”

Zi Wei looked at me a little evasively, and said abruptly, "I heard...... Master told me to turn around, and the people in Dongyan Town were all calling my name behind me. ”

I didn't speak, and quietly took my hand out of Jiang Xun's palm.

Jiang Xun lowered his eyes, his gaze swept over me lightly, and landed at a certain point in the distance, "I saw an old man. ”

Leaning against the trunk of a tree, he slowly folded his arms and wrote lightly: "He told me not to look back, to keep going." ”

The wilderness was empty, and occasionally a gust of wind blew, which made people feel cold, and they were lifeless in all directions.

In this environment, everyone's face was quenched with a layer of sentimentality, and I didn't even want to doubt Jiang Xun's lies.

The ghosts of that place will only keep people, not cross people.

I'm more convinced that he just doesn't want to say what he thinks about it.

Some words are unspoken, some emotions have no origin, the huge waves drown people, and we all lose the reason to speak.

Ziwei walked to a boulder without a word, knelt down and kowtowed three times in that direction, and only turned around a long time after getting up, and walked to my side without saying a word.

I took him and gave him a little comfort. That's where he grew up, and the people there are the ones who raised him, and no one has a deeper affection for Dongyan Town than he has. But from this second on, the place of Dongyan Town will no longer exist in this world.

I looked around and found that this was the back of Dongyan Town, and I had only been here a few times when I was looking for suitable wood, and I could barely know the way, let alone Jiang Xun and Tang Jiao, two outsiders.

So I didn't emphasize that I wanted to break up, didn't say anything, and led the way to a populated place, and after a glance, the two of them followed.

"Shen Qing." Jiang Xun called my name, but I didn't answer, he said: "Your coffin shop is gone, it's different from Dongyan Town outside, they don't need coffins, you better go with us, at least you don't have to worry about your livelihood." ”

I didn't answer, Jiang Xun continued: "You don't need to be so stubborn, even if you think about your apprentice, you let him follow you like this?" ”

"We're not just going to make longevity." Ziwei replied: "You don't need to worry about how we live, Shen Ji has his own savings for so many years, and I can afford to support Master, it has nothing to do with you." ”

"You can't say that, we can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death together, you two are homeless now, we can't just watch it, don't you forget your mother after eating milk. Little brother, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, I have an antique shop in Chengshui City, if you two are willing, follow my brother, I promise that I won't be able to treat you badly. ”

"I understand it, I don't go." I frowned and walked briskly forward.

Tang Jiao was chattering in my ear, and when he saw that I ignored him, he went to pester Ziwei.

The road was a little far, and after walking for a long time to see the house, I was relieved that a piece of clothing was thrown over my head and covered my head.

"Blood, block, wipe your face clean, don't scare others." After Jiang Xun finished speaking, he strode past me and went to the front to ask for directions.

I paused, wiped my face with my sleeve, rubbed the blood on it, and put my clothes on. It's more than one size bigger, and it covers a piece of the leg.

The clothes on him still carried the original color, but when it came to me, it became a darker black, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the faint smell of agarwood.

Jiang Xun knocked on the door of a house and asked where the nearest hotel was.

The people here spoke in dialects, and after Jiang asked, the other party didn't understand his words, so he stared at the person in a daze and asked him if he was here to travel.

Jiang Xun nodded, saw me get dressed in a blink of an eye, and motioned for me to come over with his eyes.

I walked up to him and asked, "Do you understand him?" ”

Jiang Xun said: "There is no Chinese language that I don't understand. ”

My first reaction was to brag about not paying taxes and then say, "But you won't say." ”

Jiang Xun nodded frankly, "So let you come." ”

I glanced at him and spoke a few words of the dialect of Dongyan Town to the other party, close to him, with little difference in accent, and smoothly asked the location. The host was afraid that we would not be able to find it, so he kindly showed us a little way, entered the door and opened the room, and the four of us separated and went to freshen up.

I took a shower in my room, washed the blood off my body, and put on my bathrobe and was wiping my hair when there was a knock on the door.

I thought it was Ziwei, and I didn't think much about going to the door and opening the door a crack, but what I saw was Jiang Xun who had already been cleaned.

He seemed in good spirits, better than when we first met, and smiled at me.

I was about to close the door, but he handed over a set of clean clothes from outside, "Your apprentice bought it, don't worry." He talked to Tang Jiao below, and I helped deliver it. ”

I hesitated for a moment, thanked me and took it, Jiang Xun said, "Remember that we had a bet before?" ”

Remember, the time when the soul was induced.

"We didn't win, but you didn't lose either, so if you want to ask anything, feel free to come to me."

I hummed, and he said: "Whether you are with us or not, we can discuss it again, don't refuse too quickly, as long as the interests are shared, we cooperate with each other, use each other, and take what we need, and there is no harm to anyone." ”

"I see." I nodded, "I'll think about it." ”

Jiang Xun still smiled, "Change your clothes and eat together." ”

I closed the door, watched the shadow outside the door and left, then changed my clothes, the blood stained before, together with Jiang Xun's coat, put it in the basin and soaked, my hair was not dry, and I went out casually.

When I got downstairs, I saw Tang Jia holding Zi Wei and pressing him at the dining table to count which dish was more delicious, while Zi Wei stared at Jiang Xun, his eyes full of anger.

I looked down at the clothes on my body, and it seemed that Ziwei definitely didn't take the initiative to let him send them.

After Zi didn't see me, he narrowed his eyes and pulled out a stool for me to sit on.

A meal is tasteless, Tang Jiao began to mention to us a tomb of the Yellow Emperor of Xianzong in the middle of eating, saying that it is the tomb of Li Yin of Xianzong of Zhou in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, which is priceless.

"I heard that when he died, the whole country was weeping and buryed, and he brought the treasures of the entire palace into the tomb, and all the people in the capital disappeared overnight. You stop there, and you can't even see a single figure, guess where they have gone? ”

No one cared about it, Tang Jiao was not less interested, and slapped his thigh, "I'm going to pay him a tribute!" Think about what kind of scene it was, the treasures of the whole city were stuffed into his tomb, no matter how small his territory was, he was also an emperor, how could things be enough to kill a person, right? Let me tell you, I collected a treasure a while ago, and I bought it from the night market, a pair of bamboo slips, and I originally thought that we would also learn exegesis and study ancient characters. Unexpectedly, as soon as I researched it, I found out that that thing was a map! For this, I asked my friend to almost turn over the ancient books, and finally found that the painting on it was the location of the Xianzong Mausoleum! If I could find the cemetery and dig it out, I would sell it like this, enough for me to spend a lifetime! ”

Jiang Xun took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Don't always think about money, talk about the point." ”

"Hey, okay." Tang Jiao said: "Don't pretend to be me, you kid, aren't you willing to cooperate with me for the baby of that place, frankly, we are all all the way." When the time comes, you will definitely be indispensable. ”

It turned out that they were not friends.

"Shopkeeper Shen, look, your skills, if you don't do this business in the future, you will be more talented! Or do you come with us...... Yes? Tang Ka squeezed his eyebrows at me, and his fingers made a gesture to count the money.

"I've never done anything you've ever done." I corrected it and said, "I will not go to the grave." ”

"Don't mind." Tang Jiao said: "Why don't you go to my place first, I promise that you will change your mind after reading it, I won't cheat you, take my old Tang's character to guarantee, if you have money, let's earn it together, and I will eat a bite of meat, and I will never let you drink soup, okay?" ”

"Ziwei." I stood up, "Let's go." ”

"Hey, hey—" Tang Jiao immediately caught up, crawled over from the table and jumped in front of me, "No, just like you two now, if you have no relatives or friends, where can you go if you don't come with us?" ”

"Muzhang County."

"What?" Tang Ka was stunned.

I said, "Let's go to Muzhang County, and we will take a different route from you." ”

Zi Wei was not puzzled, I took him upstairs, returned to the room, opened a map brought out from Shen Ji, pointed to the location of Muzhang County above, and said: "The closest to Dongyan Town, the forest is lush, and the temperature and environment are closest to the place where miasma may be generated, and this is it." ”

Ziwei looked at the map, "Master, are you trying to find the person who raised cockroaches in the puppet's brain?" ”

I nodded, "This matter can't be left like this, Liu Fu doesn't know anything, it is impossible to know the formation of the living coffin, let alone the blood formation of the evil sect, and someone must be behind the command to do all this." Now that Dongyan Town has been sealed, and his purpose has not been revealed, we don't know if anything else will happen, and there are too many unclear answers. This is the only clue to find out the truth, and there is no other way. ”

After a moment's hesitation, I said, "I don't know when it will settle down completely, it's very dangerous, and I can't see hope, if you think about it again, don't follow me, if you ......"

"Wherever you go, I'll go." Ziwei interrupted me and spoke eagerly about his thoughts.

I'm silent, all the people in Dongyan Town are gone, and now, I'm his only support, and he's not the same to me.

The responsibility weighs on my shoulders and makes me feel heavy.

Half ringing, nodded, and said, "Okay, no matter where we go in the future, we won't be separated." ”

I took his hand, and he looked at me for a long time and nodded slightly.

We all made a promise that day, and our name was to depend on each other.

After two days of repairs in the hotel, Jiang Xun and they did not look for us again.

My son and I did not prepare all the things we needed, so we wrapped Shen Ji's books and master's ranks in layers of waterproof oiled paper, and put them in the middle of our backpacks, adding up to three bags of tools, food, clothing, and medicine.

We found a van, bumpy all the way to the train station, before I went to buy a ticket, I felt a little motion sickness while sitting, went to the small shop outside to buy a motion sickness medicine and swallowed it.

After getting on the bus, I leaned against the window and wrinkled my brow uncomfortably, a few children were eating in the crowded carriage, and the smell was very heavy in summer, and the smoke was even more uncomfortable. Ziwei took a small fan printed with advertisements to fan me, I was against my stomach, and when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly smelled a smell of agarwood, opened my eyes and looked to the side, except for Ziwei, only one flight attendant pushed a food cart by.

I was about to relax when someone in the back seat patted me on the shoulder, I turned my head sideways, and a peeled grapefruit was against my lips, cool.

I was taken aback, I retreated, and saw Jiang Xun supporting the back of the chair with one hand, and said with a faint smile: "I'm sorry, we are also going to Muzhang County, the journey is tiring, how about a companion together?" ”
