Chapter 110: A Special Ritual
On this day, Shen Huai sent Mu Su to the airport.
After Mu Su left, he drove back to Mu's house.
It's already the end of March, and according to the previous situation, Mu Su is likely to be in a coma again in April.
Shen Huai was very anxious, especially after knowing Wang Yiyuan's condition, he was afraid that the next examination of Mu Yu would also have this result.
Although both of them tacitly did not mention this matter, their hearts were full of uncertainty. He didn't know if Mu Su was afraid, he only knew that he had always had nightmares since then, dreaming that Mu Su had left him.
Several times Mu Su was awakened by him, and he was vague.
Maybe Mu Su was aware of his emotions, so Mu Su was extra active and enthusiastic when the two of them were emotional.
The search for the southeast mountain range of City A has been completed, and not only has no one been found, but not even a trace of the inhabitants of the mountain has been found.
The result of this mountain search was even more dusty on everyone's faces, and in order to prevent Mu Su from finding out, everyone was forced to laugh.
Ruoyang has been "recuperating" in Mu's house since the operation, and he said that the earthlings have not yet appeared, and it is impossible for Mu Jun to let him go.
Shen Huai and Mu Jun decided to ask Ruoyang to see if they could get any news.
Ruoyang was playing a game in the room, and suddenly the door was opened, and he thought it was the aunt who was doing cleaning and ignored it. It wasn't until the figure got closer and closer, that two shadows finally fell over his head.
He looked up, surprised, they hadn't seen each other since the operation. He put down his phone and stood up, and when he saw that the two of them were not good-looking, he chuckled in his heart.
"How...... What's wrong?"
Mu Jun was already in a bad mood because of the results of the search, and he was even more irritable when he heard him speak.
"What are you stammering, you have a weak heart?" Mu Jun narrowed his dangerous eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
Ruoyang opened his mouth and retorted: "I was frightened by your appearance, where is the weakness?" It's not that the heart is weak at all, it's that the heart has no bottom! And they look like they are asking for sin, which is strange and scary.
Shen Huai was about to get angry when he saw that Mu Jun was emotionally unstable, stretched out his hand to stop him, and bluntly told Ruoyang, "There is no one in the southeast mountain range of City A."
"What!! No one? Am I not going to die?" That's what Master had done, but he didn't hear the news that they had found someone, and he was very scared. I was cured of the disease, but I can't get rid of it so quickly, right?
Shen Huai saw that Ruoyang's panic did not seem to be a fake, thinking that this matter threatened his life was 100% true, and his words were credible.
"Think about it, there's still any missing news."
Ruoyang thought back to Master's deathbed words, "No, I've told you everything Master told me."
Shen Huai didn't believe that he only knew this, and he must still be hiding some things. Just as he was about to continue asking, he heard Mu Jun say coldly, "Is there a follow-up to the matter of sending photos?"
Someone silently took away the courier, and this matter has always been a pimple in his heart.
Ruoyang shook his head, "No. I'm under your watchful eye all the time, and if anything, you know."
Mu Jun was silent, indeed, Ruoyang's every move Mu Jun knew.
"What is the purpose of sending photos?"
"I really don't know, I never only carry out orders, I don't ask why."
Mu Jun frowned, the clue of the photo was broken.
Mu Jun once asked Ruoyang to send a courier to inquire again, but Ruoyang said that even if he received it, he would not reply. Mu Jun insisted on letting him try, and the final result was as he said.
The clues behind him were gone, and Shen Huai could only push forward, trying to get useful information from the previous events.
"Do you know why your master found the Mu family in the first place?"
Ruoyang continued to shake his head, he hadn't been born when his master went to find them, and his master hadn't said anything.
After asking three questions, Mu Jun's brows furrowed even deeper, "Didn't you say that if we can't find anyone, you're going to die!" Think about it!"
"I really don't know! After my master took me as an apprentice, I lived in the Taoist temple and never went out
He didn't tell me about these things until before he died."
Before he died, did he confess, did Ruoyang obediently and let him be at his mercy?
Shen Huai suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought of something, "When you were apprenticing, did you know that if you didn't complete the task, you would die?"
"Yes. Master asked me when he took in the apprentices, and I already had a good memory by then, and my body was very weak. Master said that I had a heart condition, and I was an orphan, and if I didn't have the money to treat and take medicine, I might die at any time. But if I take him as a teacher, he can guarantee that I will live longer, as long as I help him complete his tasks."
At that time, he also asked what the mission was, and he was afraid that the mission would be too dangerous and he would lose his life. But the Master told him that the mission didn't require him to do anything, only to convey the message.
"What would you do if we didn't find us?"
"I'll still be at the Taoist temple."
Is it sure that they will come to the door, or can the task be completed without looking for them?
What makes them so sure? Could it be related to the invisible connection between life and death and tasks?
"How did the mission come to be?" Shen Huai felt that it was impossible to just apprentice orally, Ruoyang's life and death were restricted, and there must be a way to pass it on.
"This ......" Speaking of this question, Ruoyang was a little hesitant. Master said that as long as you complete the task, you can't tell anyone else.
Shen Huai didn't rush to force him, but talked about something else, as if he just asked casually and didn't take this matter to heart.
"Do you have any more tasks after that?"
"No, sending photos is the last option."
"Now that your mission is complete, if we succeed in finding someone we are destined for, you will survive, and if you fail, you will also die. Now if the person is not found, you will die. You tell us everything, and maybe there's a silver lining."
Ruoyang was silent, and he was also entangled in his heart. Of course, the temptation to live is great, but he is worried that there will be other dangers if he reveals what he should not say.
"What are you worried about?" Mu Jun asked.
"Master said that I can't say it, I'm afraid that if I say it, I will cause trouble."
Shen Huai grasped the point of his words, "Did your master say the consequences?"
"Not really."
Shen Huai glanced over, and Mu Jun understood his intentions, and his tone slowed down a little, "We will strengthen protection, you can rest assured of this." If it is really life-threatening, your master should warn you, instead of just saying something that cannot be said without saying the harm."
Ruoyang thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense. And no one knows what he said, the most important thing is to save his life. The balance in his heart kept swaying, and in the end he still leaned towards the two people in front of him.
"When I apprentice, there is a special ritual."
Mu Jun and Shen Huai glanced at each other, knowing that this was likely to be the key to the matter.
"At that time, Master took a packet of medicine and mixed it with water for me to drink, and then the two of us bit our fingers, and Master mixed the blood on our fingers and drew something in the air, and then that thing got into my chest."
Shen Huai's face was not obvious, but there were turbulent waves in his heart, weren't these steps exactly the same as when Shen An said that Chi Sang had unleashed the spell?
Is it a spell?
"You show your chest and I'll take a look."
"What? This...... Isn't that okay?"
"Hurry up!" Shen Huai contacted Chi Sang last time, but based on Mu Su's symptoms, Chi Sang wasn't sure if he had been spelled. Chi Sang said that it was best to meet real people, so Shen Huai had been looking for an opportunity for them to meet.
Unexpectedly, before the opportunity was found, he ran into someone who was suspected of being cursed.
At the urging of Shen Huai, Ruoyang reluctantly ripped off his collar. When he saw a red mark in the center of his chest, Shen Huai was basically sure.
Facing Mu Jun's inquiring eyes, Shen Huai asked Ruoyang to tidy up his clothes and continued to ask, "Has your master taught you the method of this ritual?"
"Nope. Master said that I am the last generation, and this is the end of the matter for me."
"The last generation? There have been many generations before your master
Gone?"
"Well, even Master doesn't know how many generations he has done this task."
What kind of task is this, it will take several generations, maybe even more than ten generations to complete. Does this have anything to do with being reborn? How did they know for sure that the one they were looking for z.br>?
Shen Huai's mind was full of questions now, but no one could answer them.
Mu Jun is also a mess now, and things have exceeded his imagination. He didn't know if there would be a person like Su Su every few generations who needed them to find, or if there were so many generations of people just looking for one person?
What's so different about the sneers that it's worth it? And who is behind it?
"Let's go, let's go out and talk." The matter is almost asked, and they will have to rely on themselves in the future.
Ruoyang watched the two of them leave in disgrace, and a foreboding feeling sprouted in his heart, he wouldn't really die at the end of the day, right?
Heaven is going to kill him?
Shen Huai and Mu Jun were thinking about Mu Su, and the two came all the way to the study.
As soon as he closed the door, Mu Jun said, "What do you think?"
"If the photo is the last link, I think it is trying to find someone by itself, or it will only appear if you see it." It's so hidden over there, and it's very hidden, obviously I don't want too many people to know. They sent a large number of people to search the mountains, which was likely to backfire.
"The southeastern mountain range of City A is so large, we can't go through it all with a fuss." They sent so many people to search for more than a month, not to mention that they were alone, so they had to find when to go.
"You're right. But perhaps, we can start somewhere else."
"You mean Ruoyang's master-apprentice inheritance?" When Ruoyang said the ceremony, Shen Huai's expression was obviously knowing something, "Do you have any clues here?"
"Not bad. I think I should have known how they control life and death." Shen Huai never said anything about contacting Chi Sang, but now that there are new clues, it's time for everyone to know.
Let Chi Sang come to see Ruoyang, maybe he can find out Mu Su's situation along the vine.
"I can't say a word or two, I should know when I call someone."
