Although this old man called Hanako has been asking for food for ten miles and eight towns, he always lives in this dilapidated land temple, if he has a master, someone must have seen it in the past forty years, right? But why haven't I heard about it all the time? He seems to have been a loner all along.

Alas! He's dead, what do you want to do? Even if he had a master, it was estimated that he would have already returned to the West.

I looked up at the cow maniac, who frowned, still thinking about something.

"Oops! Old cow! This...... I've fucking seen this stone statue! Xu Yuanzhi, who had been holding the stone statue and looking at it, suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

I was taken aback by his startled appearance and blurted out, "Where have you seen it?" Which ancestor is this? ”

He was also shocked by Cheng Blind, and after I finished speaking, he continued: "Can you believe what this unreliable thing says?" ”

"Humph! Cheng is blind, I have a lot of adults, and I don't care about you who have no eyes. Xu Yuanzhi sneered, and then scratched his head, "I must have seen it, and I can't remember it for a while......"

I rolled my eyes at him, speechless.

The cow madman took it seriously, and repeatedly urged him to think about it again.

Xu Yuanzhi thought about this for a long time, and pulled off a few locks of hair on his head, but he still didn't think of it after all. In the end, he took the stone statue out and said that he would take it back to study it carefully.

The group exited the cave, and when they came out, the cow maniac moved the idol in the land temple back to its original place and covered the hole.

In this way, this cave became the grave of the old man named Hanako.

Before leaving, the cow madman looked around and sighed: "This is called Hanako and can be regarded as a poor person, who has been blinded by hatred all his life, but when will this injustice be retributed?" Is it worth it to spend your life like this? ”

I glanced at him, and he was looking at me meaningfully, "Do you dare to say this to me?"

The old name Hanako is like a mirror, my shadow is reflected in the mirror, he has been bound by hatred all his life, and I also have the seeds of hatred buried in my heart, he learned the Tao for revenge, and I also learned the Tao for revenge...... Am I going to be him after all these years?

Grandma's words before she breathed......

"Life is a life, the grass and trees are autumn, presumably he is exhausted about the bumps, bitter heart, tormented, although tenacious, but finally too persistent, this broken temple outside the breeze and bright moon, the cool breeze in the west, but have you ever felt it?"

Cheng Blind also sighed, only Xu Yuanzhi held the stone statue stupidly and silently.

I raised my head, and at this time, a round shone like a hooked crescent moon, and ten thousand stars were dotted like jewels, and I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart......

"Let's go—" The cow maniac patted me on the shoulder, a little weird.

Country trails, nothing to say all the way.

When I returned to Sanguan Temple, I fell asleep and fell asleep.

"I remember, old cow! I went to this stone statue with Master when I was a child......"

"What! This...... How is this possible! ”

"Impossible! He's a former ......."

In the haze, they heard the three old guys chatting, and all three of them were shocked.

Probably in a dream, I rolled over and fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up again, it was the last day of the five-day period.

The three of them had been busy all morning, their faces full of exhaustion, as if they hadn't slept all night.

The cow madman is going to pass the shade today, and I have always remembered what he said that day - close the ghost door!

I don't know how a cow madman, who no longer has a position in the underworld, can close the ghost door by himself, but I think it's an extremely difficult thing. So the mood is a little heavy.

No one mentioned the matter of Xiaolonghe, and no one mentioned the matter of Yin, this is a rare tacit understanding, the air is a little dignified, but everyone pretends to be nothing. Xu Yuanzhi and Cheng Blind had a rare quarrel, they were busy cooking, and finally they were stunned to make a big table of dishes, and the cow madman even took out the good wine that had been treasured for many years.

The room was very dull, except for the smell of food rising from the air, and there was a faint unease.

The whole meal was very depressing, the cow madman kept putting vegetables in my bowl, and Xu Yuanzhi and Cheng Blind kept pouring wine into their mouths.

Could this be the last meal that the cow madman ate with me?

In the afternoon, Lu Jinguo came to ask about the construction of Xiaolonghe, but the cow madman simply asked him to report to the above and choose another site.

After Lu Jinguo left with regret on his face, the cow madman closed the door and dragged out the old wooden box from under the offering table.

He tossed in the wooden box for a long time, and finally turned out seven bronze lamps with green rust and wiped them carefully.

I followed the cow maniac inch by inch, for fear that I would never see him again when I turned around, I had a stomach full of things to say, a stomach of questions I wanted to ask, but I didn't know how to speak, and I held back for a long time, so I asked lightly: "Old Niu, what are these lamps for?" ”

"This is a seven-star lamp, which is used to sustain life."

"Survival? To whom do you want to live? I asked again, confused.

The cow madman pretended to be relaxed: "Give myself a life, I will go down this time, all rely on these seven lamps to live, if it is not extinguished within seven days, I can live another ten years." ”

I swallowed my saliva and stalked my neck: "What if it is extinguished?" ”

"If it's extinguished...... the cow madman paused, stopped his movements, and touched my head, "The lamp is there, the lamp is extinguished, and if it is extinguished, you will find a place to bury me." ”

Buried?

As soon as I heard this, my brain "boomed", my mouth pouted, and I threw myself on him and cried, and the sadness that I had held back for a day was completely vented at this moment.

"Old Niu, don't go to the underworld, we don't care about this...... I don't want you to die...... What should I do if you die? …… Woohoo......"

I hugged the cow madman and wept silently.

He didn't move and let me cry for a long time.

Xu Yuanzhi persuaded: "Don't cry, what are you afraid of with the seven-star life-sustaining lamp?" The old cow will be fine! ”

I snorted and sobbed and looked at the cow maniac, wishing he could say to me, "I'm fine," but he never said anything, but told me something else.

"Changsheng, there are some things I have to tell you, I was originally a person from the underworld, I also have a position over there, and I have a mission in the yang. Born with ugly appearance, five disadvantages and three deficiencies, and restraint with family, these are actually to cut off our emotions, so as not to be tied up by the red dust and miss the mission. When I'm done, it's time for me to go back. ”

"My karma was fulfilled nine years ago, which means that I should have returned to Hades before eight years. But at that time, you were born, and at that time you were like a dying kitten, with three souls lost, and only two souls remained. ”

"Originally, your life or death didn't have much to do with me, but the moment I saw you, you actually opened your eyes and smiled at me. That smile touched me, and I felt that there was a fate between the two of us, I had to save you, and I wanted to raise you. ”

"You can't get it right, I can't see through your fate, so I found black and white impermanence and asked them to secretly release your soul. But two years ago, this matter was discovered below, and I had to go over the yin and injure a group of ghosts, and exchange my position for you, so that you survived again. ”

Hearing this, I finally understood the reason why the cow madman had stopped passing through the yin in the past two years, and I also understood why the ghost general was so surprised when he saw him.
