Chapter 8: Alone to Death
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.
This night, Xiao Wu knocked on Lin Jing's door.
"Little sting, I haven't seen you grow a lot taller in a year."
"Brother Wu." Lin screamed excitedly: "Didn't my sister-in-law come along?" ”
"Sister-in-law, she rested, she didn't come." Xiao Wu said: "Let me tell you one thing, the winter solstice talent is high, and he has already practiced qi at the seventh level. ”
Seven layers of Qi training?
Lin Jing's heart sank, and now he still hasn't figured out whether the senior brothers really went down the mountain and plunged into nature after they were still vulgar, or if there were other accidents.
"If nothing else, he may be qualified for the position of senior brother next month, at this time, the master will go down the mountain to accept apprentices, and he has the final say in the entire star viewing view."
"Brother Xiaowu, can you let Brother Dong Solstice slow down, don't let him become a senior brother so early."
"Little stunning, this is not like something you can say." Xiao Wu frowned and looked at the young man who was already waist-high with him.
Lin was stunned and explained, "I suspect that the position of Senior Brother is a trap. ”
So, he told Xiao Wu about the senior brother he bumped into in the back mountain six months ago.
"Then it's not certain that Senior Brother really entered the cemetery." Xiao Wu said.
"I'm not sure if Senior Brother really entered the Houshan Cemetery, but after the next day, it will be vulgar, Brother Xiaowu, don't you think it's strange?"
"Strange is strange, but it's not sure yet." Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to go to the cemetery to have a look?" ”
"It's late at night, and we can sneak into the graveyard by using the darkness of the night, but we're going to have to dress up." After Lin was stunned, he picked up a face towel from between the beds.
"Give me the face towel, what about you?"
"I have this."
"Nightcoat, where are you going?"
"It's blackened with charcoal plaster, and it's not really a night walker."
"You've already started to prepare?"
"Well, but my strength is too low, so I don't dare to visit the cemetery at night."
"Okay, Brother Wu will accompany you through this experience."
The two of them tied up scarves and did not deliberately disguise, because they were still in full view, and if they were too hasty, they would attract the attention of those who cared.
The two took advantage of the night and took advantage of the terrain in the dark place to touch the back mountain.
There was a half-moon in the sky, and the crescent moon sprinkled a dusk of moonlight.
"Brother Wu, there seems to be a figure in front of you."
"Let's get closer."
The two of them slowly approached the figure.
"Uh-huh-mm-mm......"
A burst of undulating music in front of me kept colliding, which suddenly reminded people of fluttering and shaking their hearts.
"It's really unlucky, there are still people in the back mountain in the middle of the night." Xiao Wu spit out a mouthful of saliva and said, "Little shock, it seems that we can't go to the cemetery at night." ”
"I can only retreat first." Merle's music slammed into Lin Jing's vision, causing him to suddenly blush and pant short.
As the two of them stepped back, they seemed to be done with their business, and they listened to the man speak.
Hearing the man's voice, the two paused in their steps, the voice was extremely familiar, and it was clearly the sound of the winter solstice.
"Winter Solstice, this kid, actually hid in the back mountain at night for a tryst."
"Is that woman a sister-in-law?"
"Not really." Xiao Wu said: "Winter Solstice, this kid's peach blossom luck is really prosperous, and he envy others!" ”
"Let's sneak away, if we are discovered, everyone will die of embarrassment." Xiao Wu added, then moved his steps, and the cat body hid into the night.
Back at the squatter residence, Xiao Wu got up and said goodbye.
Lin was stunned and watched his back fade away.
"Am I really mistaken? Big brother position isn't a trap? If it was really a trap, why didn't the partner who accompanied them tell it? If they don't know, why didn't they accompany the elder brother to return to the world? ”
Naturally, no one told him these answers, so he could only knock on the side to find the answers.
A few days later, Xiao Wu didn't come to the door, I don't know if he forgot this agreement.
Li Jingzhen could only wait, because he didn't dare to visit the cemetery at night, because his strength was too low, and if something happened, he couldn't bring the news out.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, a month passes quietly.
The elder brother is also vulgar, and the winter solstice has naturally become a senior brother.
The position of the senior brother hovers between the seven levels of qi training, and there are few existences that break through the eighth layer.
In four and a half years, he has gone from a mountain mud boy to a senior brother who is admired by everyone and practices qi sevenfold, which is enough to prove that he is highly talented.
At this moment, the winter solstice scenery is infinite and proud.
But at the critical moment when he was in the spotlight of tens of thousands of people, he proposed to his master to return to the world.
At this moment, once every six months, the master who went down the mountain to accept apprentices agreed.
The winter solstice is still vulgar, so naturally the second-ranked disciple will go up.
In front of everyone's eyes, Dong Solstice sat on the dust when he went up the mountain four years ago, and with Ziyu reciting the magic formula, he drifted towards the distance high into the sky.
Looking at the figures of the two flying farther and farther, Lin was at a loss in his heart.
He didn't know what the winter solstice meant, let alone the true meaning of the purple jade viewer.
But as he knocked on the side, he realized a possibility, the Purple Jade Viewer's move was to cover people's eyes and ears and dispel the vigilance of others.
Picking the stars is also vulgar for the second senior brother, who can't see anyone alive or dead, which will definitely arouse the suspicion of careful people.
However, the purple jade contemplation lord suddenly came to a fair and honest way to return to the world, which would make those who had a heart eliminate their concerns.
After all, their worries and doubts are only temporary, because those who have been skeptical for too long are already dead.
Seeing the winter solstice go away, Lin Jing slowly returned to the squatter room.
Before the squatter bed was hot, Xiao Wu knocked on the door.
Opening the door, Xiao Wu walked in and handed over a package of spirit stones.
"Brother Xiaowu, what does this mean?" Lin was stunned, how did he accumulate so many spirit stones.
"This is for you on the little winter solstice."
"Brother Winter Solstice!" Lin was stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"What are you crying about, you're a big man now, do you think you're still the same little kid you used to be." Xiao Wu scolded and continued: "The winter solstice has something to explain. ”
"What?" Lin Jingzhen took the spirit stone, put it aside, and asked.
"He wants to ask you to help him take care of his family." Xiao Wu began to scold again as he spoke: "I don't know why I still say such unfortunate words when I go home on the winter solstice." ”
Lin Jingzhen seemed to guess something, and the tears finally rolled down uncontrollably.
"Oh, what are you crying about, I won't comfort anyone."
"Brother Winter Solstice may be dead." As soon as this sentence reached his mouth, Lin was stunned and stopped.
If Dong Solstice really wants Xiao Wu to know the truth, he may tell him directly, and he will not beat around the bush and let himself tell him.
Probably, the winter solstice didn't want Xiao Wu to hit the stone with an egg in order to avenge him.
Xiao Wu's heart is straightforward, his head only has one tendon, and he will not beat around the bush.
However, if he really knew that Dong Solstice died at the hands of his mentor, he might really fight hard to get justice.
Lin Jingzhen didn't know what method the winter solstice would use to deal with Ziyu, but since he had explained the aftermath to himself, he would definitely be more auspicious and less lucky, and he would die for a lifetime.
But in any case, I can't mess around now.
Li Jingzhen wiped away his tears and explained to Xiao Wu: "Brother Wu, I suddenly cried today, don't tell anyone about it, even Shizun." ”
"Why?"
"I don't want anyone to know I'm cowardly."
"Okay, only my brother knows about your ugly things."
"Thank you, Brother Wu."
Looking at Xiao Wu's distant back, Lin pinched his thigh and snorted in pain.
"Brother Wu, don't blame you for being stinging, but this way, at least it can let us live for a while longer."
Lin Jingzhen looked up at the mountain peaks in the distance, and the belief in his heart became firmer.
Late at night, Lin Jingzhen pushed open the dormitory, put on a homemade night clothes, and touched the back mountain with his cat body.
In the middle of the month, there is no winter solstice, and there is no snow yet, but the autumn wind is coming, the cold air enters the body, and I suddenly feel cold.
The autumn wind is howling at night, and the January moon is shining in the sky.
Lin stung the cat's body, shuttling through the back mountain, getting closer and closer to the forbidden land of the back mountain.
All the truth is still in the back mountain cemetery, if you want to know whether the senior brothers are really forced to return to the world, or explore the back mountain cemetery.
Therefore, he must take a risk, otherwise, all conjectures will be nothing.
The graveyard in the back hill was already close at hand, and he couldn't wait to find out what secrets were hidden inside.
It's here.
When he stepped into the cemetery, his brow furrowed.
At a glance, in the cemetery, dozens of graves suddenly rose up, making people feel as if they were in it, and the cold air rose from the bottom of their hearts.
In the back mountain cemetery, except for the graves, there are only graves, and these graves have no epitaphs, only verdant weeds.
In the overgrown cemetery, large and small graves were packed, and Lin was stunned and counted them vigorously, there were more than forty in total.
"So many grave bags, not even an epitaph?" Lin Jingzhen frowned, and suddenly stepped on a hard object under his feet, and he looked down to see that it was a jade pendant.
Taking advantage of the night, he took a closer look and saw that this jade pendant was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
A figure suddenly flashed in his mind, four years ago, when he first received the spirit stone, he was blocked by a group of people and robbed the spirit stone.
A young man who was picking up Qi performed a fireball spell on them, but was bound by the Purple Jade Viewer who rushed to the scene, and later took him away.
At that time, I was very impressed by that young man, who wore a jade-colored jade pendant on his waist, and naturally couldn't escape his eyes.
Four years later, the jade pendant appeared in the cemetery for the first time, which made him shiver when he had been prepared.
Shiqi's jade pendant appeared here, and the fool knew that Shiqi was not driven down the mountain, but in the mountain cemetery after a long sleep.
Just as he was stunned, a footstep suddenly sounded behind him.
He was startled, clenched his palms, turned his head to look back, but saw a young man wearing a Taoist robe, his hair was scattered, his face was dull, and he was roaming with his eyes closed.
"Big brother."
Lin Jingzhen almost blurted out, because he recognized this young man as the current senior brother.
