After listening to the words of the cow madman, the mystery in my heart was partially solved, but I was even more sad, the cow madman actually did so much to me.

Injured the ghost and gave up his position, so in what capacity did he go back this time? Prisoners? Will there be penalties?

The cow madman looked at me with a handful of snot and tears, and said calmly: "If I really can't come back this time, you must study hard, cultivate the Tao diligently, and don't waste ......."

The cow madman seemed to have a stomach full of words to instruct, but halfway through the conversation, he stopped again, patted my head and smiled: "Changsheng, you have grown up, I won't say some things, you must listen to your Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Cheng in the future, you know?" ”

"Old Niu, when did you become so grinding and chirping like a girl? Immortal, you can leave it to us to go with confidence. ”

Xu Yuanzhi thought that what he said was humorous, trying to break the heavy atmosphere, but to me it sounded like a sharp knife stabbing the heart.

I glanced at him, and suddenly felt that the cow madman must not be able to come back this time, and I couldn't help crying loudly.

……

But what's the use of more sadness and reluctance? After all, nothing can be changed, and what should come will come, just as the sky has been inexorably darkened......

The cow madman took off his shoes, jumped into the pit dug in advance, and once again told Xu Yuanzhi and Cheng Blind to take care of me.

I looked at Xu Yuanzhi, who was tidying up for him, and Cheng Blind, who was holding motionless, as if he had a piece of ice in his arms, and his heart was cold.

I don't know why the cow madman entrusted me to the two of them, these two people are clearly walking the streets and alleys, stringing hundreds of doors, to talk about the art is not normal at all, this trip is still normal, but Xu Yuanzhi is too unreliable.

The cow madman glanced at Xu Yuanzhi: "Old Xu, what are you doing?" ”

Xu Yuanzhi put the shoes of the cow madman into a reverse and a square, clapped his hands and said seriously: "I heard that the placement of shoes determines the life and death of the Yin person, and when the Yin passes, the shoes must be one and the other." If you put everything right, you can't go down at all, and if you put it all in reverse, you won't be able to come back. ”

The cow madman disdainful: "That's a set of yin walkers, it doesn't work for me, if you want to know my life and death, you just need to look at the seven-star life-sustaining lamp." ”

After that, he lay down in the pit and said, "I will light one, and when it is ready, I will go." ”

"Grandpa Niu, can you not go to ......?"

I knew that it was a foregone conclusion that the cow madman would go to the underworld, but I still held his hand tightly, sobbing and begging over and over again, as if this was the only way to make me feel comfortable.

The cow madman broke free of his hand, patted me on the back of the head, and looked angry: "Why don't the manly men cry endlessly?" It's not life and death. ”

Isn't life and death?

I widened my eyes, sucked hard into my big snot, and asked eagerly, "Will you come back?" ”

"The things in that wooden box are what I left for you, there are some Taoist books in it, you practice hard, and when you cultivate to a certain level, even if I don't come back, you can go down to find me!"

"Can the living go to hell?" I was a little surprised.

The cow madman nodded: "As long as you reach the realm, don't say it's the underworld, the Three Realms and Nine Heavens are up to you." ”

I don't know if there are really people in this world who can go up and down, but I know that there are many gods and Taoist priests who can go to the underworld and communicate with the dead, which shows that the underworld can really go.

The cow madman took advantage of my stunned time to say to Xu Yuanzhi: "Point the greedy wolf star lamp in the acupoint." ”

Xu Yuanzhi hurriedly picked out one of the seven lamps, picked up a yellow talisman prepared in advance, muttered a few words in his mouth, shook his hand, and caught the talisman. Light the lamp and place it squarely on the bull maniac's chest.

"Mud Pill Acupoint Lu Cun Star Lantern...... Dantian acupoint Wuqu star lantern...... Submarine cave point Tiangang star lantern ......"

The cow madman said a lamp, Xu Yuanzhi lit a lamp, and seeing that a lamp was lit, my heart slowly hung up, my palms were full of sweat, and my eyes looked at the cow madman without blinking.

"Daling Cave points to Wenqu Star Lantern."

"Old Niu, I've ordered it." Xu Yuanzhi asked with the last lamp.

The cow madman didn't speak, but looked at me, his eyes red.

Two sighs, one from Cheng Blind and one from Xu Yuanzhi.

The last light was turned on, and Xu Yuanzhi trembled and put it on the wrist of the bull madman, which seemed to have a thousand weights.

The bull maniac's eyes slowly closed.

He went.

His body slowly cooled, first his hands and feet, his face, his limbs, and finally, only a trace of warmth remained in his heart.

Cheng Blind told me that people are like this when they pass through the yin, their hands and feet are as cold as dead people, and when the soul returns, the body temperature will come up.

For a few days, we kept guarding the cow maniac, and we were really sleepy, so we leaned on the offering table and closed our eyes for a while, and when we were hungry, we ate a few bites of cold steamed buns, for fear that all the seven lights would go out if we didn't pay attention.

I was anxious and lucky, and with each passing day I got a little more lucky, until the night of the sixth day......

The room was quiet, the lights were dim, I stared at the lamp of life, the seven-day period was coming to an end, as long as I survived tonight, the cow madman would wake up.

But in the end, the world is unpredictable, anything until the last moment, never see the result, before the dawn comes, the life lamp that has been very hot suddenly shook a few times, all extinguished!

I thought it would be like this, but when it happened, it was still hard to accept, I was like a blind man standing in the dark, helpless.

"Cow madman, wake up, get me up quickly......"

Half a day later, I jumped on top of him, frantically tore his clothes and hair, cried and shouted, and slapped his face.

I tore off his gray hair, unbuttoned his clothes, and my hands hurt even more......

I really didn't know how to vent that disappointment and fear, how I wished that the cow madman would stretch his waist and get up like he used to, and then rub his eyes and scold me for disturbing his dreams, but he was like a wooden stake, motionless, and his body was cold.

"Changsheng, don't be like this, he is already dead. Immortal ......"

Xu Yuanzhi ran over to pull me, and Cheng Blind also touched my head to comfort me.

I shook them off and found a box of matches to light the lamp, but after all the matches were struck, the lamp just couldn't be lit!

I threw the empty matchbox and the seven lamps against the wall, and lay on the corpse of the cow madman and wept.

Despair, from the outside in, my heart was cold, and from the inside out, my body kept trembling.

This is a despair that hurts to the marrow, and I have never been so panicked and frightened as I am now!

Tears soaked the sky!

The day after the death of the madman, the rain poured down, as if I had broken the embankment.

The rain has been falling for three days, without the slightest intention of stopping, the three-day moratorium has passed, even if I have all the reluctance in my heart, the cow madman will go into the ground for peace.

In the past few days, I have been crying, Cheng Blind has been guarding me, Xu Yuanzhi has been running around, he ordered a coffin for the cow madman, looked for the cemetery, and we buried the cow maniac in the early morning of the fourth day, braving the heavy rain......
