Chapter 28: The Blood and Gall Gu Po under the Command of the King of Chu 1
readx;? I glanced out of the corner of my eye, and the courtyard was quiet, as if there were no people in the courtyard, no noise, no miscellaneous footsteps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć However, there were more than thirty adults crammed into the small courtyard, and everyone was walking and breathing.
The sun rises and shines warmly on the old town, and also on the courtyard of the old house, which is occupied by a third of the mourning shed.
I could feel that everything outside was so orderly, as orderly as the guard of honor of the three services being reviewed, and everyone was doing things step by step without the slightest mistake.
There are two possibilities for this: first, that these people are highly trained, like the backup dancers at the Olympics, to spin and follow the rules, and second, that their minds are completely controlled by the skilled magician, and they are all turned into dolls in the hands of the magician.
I gasped, and then I realized that the danger of killing in the dark did not disappear with the sunrise, but continued in a more subtle way.
"If you get close to them, you may find that everyone has lost their nature, and they are like the walking dead. Tang Wan said.
This explanation is tantamount to saying that everyone's current state is like a ghost, 100% controlled. In this way, it is still unknown whether grandpa can come out of the funeral safely.
"Could it be who is in control? Soul weaver you are talking about, or the wounded woman I saw?" I muttered.
Before, I had already told Tang Wan about the mutation that had occurred in the old mansion, and the information obtained by the two of us had been completely synchronized.
"All of them, or - a more terrible enemy than them will appear. Tang Wan's mood fluctuated, and every sentence became uncertain.
I gritted my teeth: "I can only hold on for now, and when the official lady arrives, the ceremony will be carried out as soon as possible." ā
Tang Wan rubbed his hands: "It can only be like this, the ceremony here begins, attracting old neighbors to watch, the situation is scattered and chaotic, and the enemy is not so easy to control the overall situation." ā
When it comes to Aunt Guan, Tang Wan and I are a little puzzled, because on this occasion, Aunt Guan should have been in charge of the central government a long time ago, why did she delay it?
I looked at my watch and decided to wait another half an hour, and if the official lady was not there, I would go to the street to invite her.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps at the gate, and four bald monks in gray robes hurriedly entered, all carrying huge cloth bags on their shoulders.
After them, four more people followed, wearing slanted coats, lantern pants, and round cloth shoes that only appear on red and white ceremonies in the countryside. The four of them each carried a brown box, and at a glance they knew that they were holding wind instruments such as suona and trumpet.
"I hope this is also Yan Gexing's arrangement. Tang Wan sighed lightly.
In fact, if Yan Gexing does not appear, the situation in the old mansion will get worse and worse, after all, Tang Wan and I are not opponents of Japanese illusionists.
The monk walked into the spiritual tent and immediately sat down cross-legged, and the sound of chanting sounded immediately.
The other four people opened the box, took out two brass suona and two Ugin trumpets, and stood on both sides of the spirit shed, waiting quietly, not in a hurry to play.
There are funerals in the old city every year, but the set of chanting and blowing and beating has not been completed for a long time. I believe that when the suona horn is heard later, it will attract many neighbors to watch.
I also hope that Yan Gexing arranged all this in advance, using the "chaotic situation" to fight the enemy's "quiet situation" in order to achieve a balance of momentum on the scene.
Unconsciously, the old mansion has once again become a silent battlefield, and a critical fight of swords and swords can break out at any time.
The guests who came to pay their respects hadn't shown up yet, so I didn't have to stay in the funeral booth now to give thanks, and I still had time to think about the future. Even if the palm print is ordinary, I don't want to be an ordinary person for the rest of my life, so it is easy to think of the proposition of "changing my life against the sky", which many magicians dare not touch.
I walked over to the ice coffin and looked at my grandfather's face through plexiglass.
If he had changed my life for me, if Tang Wan had used the "Bone Touching Technique" to probe my past and future, would my fate be able to change again? At least return to the normal track that a descendant of the Xia family should have?
"Grandpa, you must remember to bless me under Jiuquan, get back on track, and carry forward the Xia family!" I stroked the lid of the coffin, and unconsciously, burst into tears.
A person cannot choose his parents and family, and when he is young, he must inherit what adults give, and he does not have the right to make his own choices. In order to be autonomous, you must wait until the age of eighteen to reach adulthood. The terrible thing is that once a person reaches the age of eighteen, it is more difficult to change his fate than to ascend to the sky, because at that time the person's character has already been formed, and it is difficult to reverse.
"If you have anything else, say it quickly. Tang Wan came over and patted me on the back of the heart, "Don't hold it in your stomach anymore, so as not to be sad and hurt." ā
Tears dripped on the lid of the coffin, splashing in all directions, blurring Grandpa's face.
I had a lot of things in my heart, in fact, I wanted to say to my eldest brother and parents, but they were no longer there. In a few hours, Grandpa will also be sent to the cremation furnace of the funeral home, and as the green smoke turns to ashes, he will disappear forever from the world, neither visible nor touchable, with only one name left.
With a buzzing sound, my temples and eardrums on both sides rang wildly, as if I was suddenly next to hundreds of violently refueled motorcycles, which made me dizzy and panicked, and I couldn't stand steadily.
I shook twice, leaned backwards and fell backwards.
Fortunately, Tang Wan was standing behind me, with quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed me.
"What's wrong?" she asked, leaning over.
I don't know what was wrong, but I felt that the roof was spinning rapidly, gradually turning into a huge spinning top with holes.
"Know, know, know......" The manic cicada chirping came from all directions, making me feel as if I had suddenly returned to the grove on the shore of Daming Lake. There are a lot of cicadas there, and there are more than a dozen of them lying on their stomachs in each tree, making noise one after another. There, there is no need to use poles or rubber balls to stick to them, and even if you shoot them with a slingshot, you can get a bag full of dead cicadas in half a day and eat them beautifully.
There were no cicadas in the old house - no, there were, ghost-faced cicadas that had escaped from the ice coffin.
I see, it's the cicada that's messing around.
"The cicada, that cicada...... There's a problem, it's the cicada......" I told Tang Wan with difficulty.
Her facial features became blurry, flickering far and near, and she couldn't tell the difference no matter how she looked.
"Tell me, how do you feel now? send you to the hospital, or find the official lady?" Tang Wan was very calm, and every sentence was to the point.
"Looking for the official lady, don't go...... Don't go to the hospital, it's useless...... "My voice has been out of tune, my upper jaw and chin seem to be out of touch, I can't open and close smoothly up and down, and my words are leaking.
Tang Wan exerted his arms and helped me up.
"Go to the aunt of the official, only she can...... She can fight against ...... That one...... Dead cicadas......" I said with difficulty.
That being said, I'm not sure if Aunt Guan has that kind of ability.
Tang Wan carried me to the West House, helped me to bed and lay down, and whispered, "Be careful yourself, I'll go to the official aunt immediately." ā
She turned and walked out, taking three steps and making two, and quickly disappeared into the doorway.
I lay down, the world spinning before my eyes, and the room became a strange kaleidoscope in my eyes. So, I just had to close my eyes and not look at anything. Now, my ears were in trouble, and the buzzing and chanting sounded in a piece, and I couldn't rest for a moment.
"The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace. Whatever the Lord likes, the courtiers will do to please the Lord. This is something that cannot be avoided in human nature, and it has not been changed in ancient and modern times. My wife has been calculating and calculating, and she has not found any good way but to open a gap in you......" A strange old woman in the room spoke, just five steps away from the bed.
At first, I thought it was just my own hallucination, so I ignored it and silently calculated Tang Wan's steps in my heart, calculating when she could bring the official aunt back.
"My wife is under the command of the king of Chu, but if there is any other way, she will never come to see her without permission. But you hid things so tightly that I couldn't find them when I dug three feet into the ground. I released the cicada to find clues from Lao Xia, but the cicada was shot by you again. You say, one by one, can I not settle accounts with you?" continued the old woman.
I opened my right eye and looked at the bed. An old woman dressed in black was standing there, carrying a bamboo basket in the crook of her left arm, looking at me with a smile.
"Are you...... Who?" I asked, groggily.
"I said, my wife is under the command of the King of Chu. She replied.
I didn't understand what the four words "under the command of the King of Chu" meant, and the other party was completely unfamiliar, so I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Where the hell is that thing?" she walked over to the bed, leaning over to look at me.
Her hair was half gray and half white, and the hair on her forehead was pinned with a black plastic hairpin, revealing a deeply wrinkled, pale forehead.
When she looked at me intently, two cold lights shot out of her eyes, and I couldn't make eye contact with her.
"What the hell? who are you?" I asked.
If I guessed correctly, the other party is also here for the "Divine Water Mirror", and does not belong to the two camps of Yan Gexing and the Japanese.
"You kid, naughty, naughty!" she sneered.
The word "naughty" originally carried some doting and loving meanings, but when it came to her mouth, it was unspeakably vicious.
"You know, I can make you unable to survive and die with the touch of my fingers, but I don't want to do that. I have promised the king of Chu to be a good man - to be a good man. She said.
I heard it clearly this time, she was talking about the name "King of Chu".
Literally, the "King of Chu" is, of course, the "King of Chu", and the State of Chu completely disappeared as early as after Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, and since then, no one has called himself a "native of Chu". Now, we are in the territory of the People's Republic of China in the 21st century, and we are pursuing the laws and regulations of "unifying China".
"Who is the King of Chu?" I asked.
If it weren't for the sinister situation, I'm afraid I would really think that this old woman was standing up and being funny.
"The king of Chu is the king of Chu, you don't care, give that thing to my wife, there are only benefits, no harm. She replied.
I shook my head forcefully, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. ā
She sneered lowly, "It's really hard to be a good person? No matter what time it is, it's hard to be a good person......"
Immediately, her right hand reached into the bamboo basket, and when she took it out again, there was a black-brown scorpion with a long tail holding its pincers high on the back of her hand.
