Chapter 48: Getting out of the trap
Song Xiaoguang's sentence, let me instantly think of Chen Jiuzou, perhaps only when you love someone, you will know that this kind of power is really there. The great dream has spring and autumn is nothing more than a spell that creates a scene, the Guo Zhongyong who casts the spell is illusory, and this white pearl is also illusory. And there was a time limit, when it came, this illusory shadow would disappear.
Song Xiaoguang said to me when he was on his way here, if he could get out of here alive, he would tell me what the deal he made with my grandfather was, and if he didn't get out, and Lin Bachan and Fatty Liu could get out, the two of them would also know what the so-called deal with my grandfather was.
He didn't expect me to come, and I myself knew through my own eyes what his so-called deal was and what he was after. I even brainstormed an image, an image of my grandfather's deal with Song Xiaoguang.
Song Xiaoguang was someone I had always admired, but of course, my admiration for him before was limited to the fact that he was really bold enough. Knowing that his daughter-in-law is a demon, but also dared to love each other to death, this kind of plot in the Liaozhai is not uncommon, on the normal people in fact, not many people have this kind of guts, so at that time our teacher in the interpretation of the Liaozhai when we said a very classic words: "Why Liaozhai on the male piglets are all talented people? Is it because beautiful women go with beautiful men? No, in fact, Pu Songling is mocking, mocking those who read the eight-legged text of the scholars are fucking reading stupid, stupid human ghosts and demons can not be distinguished."
He was a human being, and White Pearl was a demon.
How many years is a human's lifespan, and what about a demon? Jun Sheng I have not yet been born I have been born Jun is already old This is still sad? Song Xiaoguang's situation is more sad, okay? I'm still young when I die!
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to leave you alone.
One sentence says it all. It says it all. It says it all. Said all the helplessness.
So as the white pearl constructed out of the Great Dream with Spring and Autumn slowly faded, I was really heartbroken by the despair and death-like expression on this blood corpse's face as the white pearl slowly went away, and called out to Lin Bachan, "Let's do it again! One more time, even if it means showing him!"
Lin Bachiqian rose his hand and dreamed big with a spring in his step.
"San Liang, don't." At this time, that Blood Corpse butted in and spoke to me, looking at me with two bloody tears in his eyes.
"So what if I see it? What about now, I feel regret, instead of knowing that I can't live forever even if I want to, I should have stayed with her more over the years. Originally thought that sacrificing one life, in exchange for a lifetime of life, cost-effective, who knew that again by your grandfather pit, this is a loss of money business, I to the other side if I see him, definitely want to find him to ask for two more cups of wine to drink." Song Xiaoguang said.
"Grandpa Song, there will still be a way." I don't know how. Surprisingly, I was chatting with a blood corpse just like that, and at this moment, I actually very much didn't want him to die, wanting Lin Bachan to step in and save him a little bit if he had the ability to do so.
"Don't, I've been here for decades, what haven't I figured out? If not can let me see your pearl grandmother again a glance, I estimate that the current self with a beast is not much difference, I think, by now, almost everything you should understand, of course, perhaps some things you do not understand, but I hope you understand that day, do not go to hold a grudge against your grandpa, there are some things, he has no choice, your too grandpa thought too much, so that none of the descendants can take a breather Your father wanted to escape, but could he? This is life, when he was leaving, your grandpa later He Zhengen will come here later, he said if He Zhengen came, let me for him to tell his old buddy, said he was sorry for him, used him so long, but your grandpa also have miscalculation, He Zhengen has never come here. But I guess according to Real He's nature, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't blame him, right?"
"Don't ask me about her whereabouts, the first ten years is she is looking for me, the second ten years she is hating me, at that time in order not to let her know, I told him that I was resentful of her not being able to bring me a descendant, my old mother before she died also indeed because of the pearl can't bring our Song family to the matter of a branch of one leaf with a grudge to die, the pearl scrupulously filial piety, I know that this sentence of mine is really hurt her, three two. If you can see her, don't tell her the truth, I'd rather she hold a grudge against me than have her forgive me after I'm dead."
"This Taoist friend, take care of San Liang, if possible, take care of Lock Head Village, although I don't know what Guo Zhongyong's plotting is about, but these seemingly messy layouts are each extraordinary in their handiwork, and what they are plotting is definitely not so simple, the more you bear, the more you get in the future, San Liang, this is a saying you have to understand."
"Words have been said, how long can I stay awake, I don't know, you guys don't know either, kill me."
"Instead of living like this, it's better to die a clean death, if there's a next life, it'll be quick." This blood corpse looked incomparably hideous, but at the moment it actually gave me a feeling of peace, yes, it was a peaceful demeanor.
I turned around, there was something I couldn't bear to look at, I knew that Song Xiaoguang had no intention of living, and in his current state, wanting him to live, the price would be to finish us both off when he lost his mind, it wasn't that we were selfish.
It's that he had to die.
This is a tough multiple choice question that is not difficult to choose. When I turned back again, Lin Bachiqian's hands were covered in blood stains, and Song Xiaoguang had already tripped to the ground, too dead to die. Lin Bachiqian looked at me, a flat expression on his face.
"In the past, my brother had a saying that in this world's affairs, the word love is the most intoxicating, and the word love is also the most exhausting." He said.
"Maybe." I said.
The blood corpse finally died, and our danger was lifted, but there was one more thing, is that we can't get out of this lotus heart, without a rope, we can't go through the slippery tunnel, we seem to be trapped to death in here, calling Fatty again, no one responded, but because Lin Bachien was there, this person who has a solution no matter what, as long as he was there, it seemed like there was a sense of security.
Around nothing, I went to look at the jade arm of this lotus heart, if you look at it from the outside, in the center of this jade, there is a human figure, like amber, Lin Bachan said to me, this jade will eat people.
In the jade, is there really someone?
I went closer to look, and found that I couldn't really see it at all, it was still a blur of human figures, and I wasn't swallowed by the jade, but this feeling undoubtedly made me a little creeped out, and I always felt that the people in the jade, seemed to be looking at me coldly.
"Who are the people in here?" I asked Lin Baqian.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know." Although he said that, I still saw him walk towards one of the shadows and stand before that shadow, wanting to reach out and touch the person inside, but in the end, his hand didn't touch the jade jade.
His eyes were sad.
This was the look he only had when he mentioned Lin Xiaofan.
"Lin Xiaofan?" I asked tentatively.
He didn't answer me, and just then, a rope poked down from the tunnel, and I heard Lei Zi's voice from above call out to me, "Brother San Liang?"
–I don't know what Lin Bachan was thinking, but he buried Song Xiaoguang in this jade coffin once again before we left, sealed the coffin, and after that we went up above the lotus flower, and at one of the petals, we found the fainted Fatty, and on his body, a pile of monkey poop had been pulled.
After waking up the fat man, we decided to return, this trip, in fact, we have got too much too much, after too many people for us to meet, Mr. Zhai, and a few Huang Lao's men, including Huang Lao.
Because there was that escape from the Guo family compound, it made the atmosphere extremely depressing.
It doesn't matter that I left you behind to escape, the problem is that you didn't fucking die, so how am I supposed to face you? –The problem now is this. Especially within Huang Lao, this time the disorganization of people's hearts was no longer something that money could buy.
When we arrived at the bridge, it was very difficult to walk, in the words of the fat man, here is Guo Zhongyong Qimen Dunjia's bureau, want to find the door of life is extremely difficult to find, we stayed here for the longest time, the fat man foot on the ground densely drawn countless diagrams, try to cross the river several times. Finally found the location of the bridge.
A bridge that we had clearly walked across when we arrived, on this side, was actually offset to the other side, nearly a mile apart.
CHAPTER XLIX Is it vulgar?
Out of the underground, the villagers persevered and waited on the top, seeing that our party was in a very sorry state, the villagers of Lotus Basin'er didn't say anything about wanting to find us for money or anything. In fact, because of too long underground, Huang Lao fainted the moment he came out of the ground and saw the sun, it seems that he is really old, a hundred-year-old man, even if he is no longer health, but also can not resist the erosion of the years.
We returned to the West Lake Hotel, the big sister to see our appearance are going to cry in fear, I and fat man is a little better, Lin Bachan is simply all over the body, in the most dangerous moment, always this person in the forefront to go.
We rested in this side of the night, the next day, Huang Lao came to find us to discuss something, he can find us to discuss this time. Or because the problem of encounter in this underground has eased our relationship a lot, he said that he received the news, it is Zhuge Qingfeng passed over, to blow up this Nine Mile Mountain.
Lin Bachan and Fatty are not interested in Huang Lao, so the reception of Huang Lao must me, he wants to do so I can understand, after all, the news of the treasure under the Nine Mile Mountain, now in the Lotus Basin, and even the whole Luoyang is not a secret, there is a treasure underneath? Absolutely have, simply that jade lotus heart really want to appear, is enough to cause a world sensation of the absolute treasure. But the value of the treasure inside, but can not cover up his secretive nature, some things, the present world can cause what I do not dare to think, the best way is to blow it up.
"In fact, there is no need to find us to say." I said. Huang Lao suddenly gave so much face, also let me a little flattered.
"I'm looking for you, there's something else, about the stone at the very beginning, I originally thought that I could find the answer underground, but after searching around, there's nothing. Don't you feel that our trip underground doesn't explain the freak in that stone?" Old Huang looked at me and said.
I froze for a moment, after experiencing too many things, I would always forget something, because the blood corpse gave me too much of a shock, it made me forget about other things, as if being underground, it really couldn't explain what the stones that Huang Lao bought away at that time were.
"Don't you know what those stones are? At the time, I had a feeling you were looking for the right stone. Wasn't it? Don't you know?" I was surprised.
"I originally thought that the White Lotus Sect's ancestor wanted to live forever in this way, relying on a woman's body to take another reincarnation, so what I'm looking for is the person with the lotus mark on his body, that, is the reincarnation of the White Lotus Sect's oldest ancestor, who knows that after I went down to the ground, I realized that it's completely different, and that these stones, which don't seem to have a right or wrong, should all be the same. " Huang Lao said.
His words, let me fall into contemplation, but this kind of thing, it seems that there is no way to figure it out.
"There is a chance to ask your old man, maybe he knows it, I always feel that the children in here, including that ghost baby uncle of yours, all belong to the same kind of people, you did not have close contact with the child dissected out of the belly of that female corpse, and if you look at it up close you will know that it is not like a living person at all, I feel that this may be related to another ritual of the White Lotus Sect, and it seems that they have a way of running through the Yin and Yang reincarnation, these people, in fact, are all dead people, they used a strange way to receive the Yang world to come." Huang Lao looked at me and said.
"I'll go, you're talking a bit too metaphysical." I said.
Huang Lao shook his head at me and said, "The reason why I think so is because the White Lotus Sect seems to have really done it, don't forget, the person they are resurrecting right now, if it's really Liu Bowen, then it's almost a completely different path from the White Lotus Sect's old ancestor, even if that lotus flower can give people a long life, it still needs to self-burial its own self, but just think about it, what era was Liu Bowen from? But think about it, Liu Bowen was a man of what era? In the era of the White Lotus Sect, the bones are not left, want to self-burial of their own body where to come from the body? But if he didn't, how did he resurrect him? I have to make a bold guess that they may have had a specific reception to receive back Liu Bowen."
"Very reasonable ah." I looked at Huang Lao Dao, but I feel very puzzled, even if we are in this underground relationship is eased a lot, but a month ago you want to kill me, we are now not familiar to the point of no words ah. Why are you old man talking to me about this?
"But why are you telling me this now?" I really couldn't help but ask.
"This time it made me see a lot more clearly, but in the Yang world, who doesn't covet? To put it nicely, I've done too many wrong things in my life, if I had a chance to start over, I'd do it right, to put it bluntly, it's just that no one knows what it's like in the netherworld, so they covet the Yangworld even more." Old man Huang's face turned a little red when he said this.
"Old man Huang, you wait, said a hundred rounds, you are good scar forgetting the pain is not it? Once you come out and see this flowery world, you don't want to die again? Didn't you all give a look away?" I kind of know what Huang Lao wants to do.
Huang was my face red, said: "No, three two small friend, you misunderstand, immortality immortal, I now certainly do not dare to think, but how to say it, I'll just tell you, you know, I may have done a lot of heartbreak, a lifetime also do not have any heir, around the child, I'm not stupid also understand what is going on, in short there is no one reliable! I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding, young people, you are my most despised, I feel that you are useless, is simply the father of the tiger, but now suddenly feel that you are the most valuable one, want to entrust some things to a person before the end, but found that there is only a young man who thinks that he is the worst, I'm living is not ironic?"
"Dude can't understand if you're cursing me or praising me, what the hell do you want to do, say!" I said, heck, what do you mean I'm the most despised one?
"I want to transfer all my things, that is to say, all my inheritance, to your name, gifted to you." Huang Lao said softly.
"Fuck, really?!" I looked at him and said.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" He also looked at me.
I was really a bit excited, how much money does Huang Lao have? How much money does Huang Lao have? Other not to mention, is the money he earned on this lotus basin child's stone, is estimated to be an astronomical figure, now he said, he is going to leave me, then I am not, instantly become the top of the high wealth?
But there is absolutely no free lunch in this world, I have more or less guessed what he wants to do, but I still tentatively asked, "What about the conditions?"
"After I die, my body, I hope to be buried in a place that only you know, the cemetery I've already found, it's not a feng shui treasure land, but I've done treatment there, the coffin inside and everything, you just need to bury me in it."
"I think, I don't have time to wait, can't live to the moment of the princess grave child open I don't know, so, also can't wait for the truth to unravel the time, if one day, you, Guo Zhongyong's descendant, really unraveled this reincarnation mystery, I don't ask for longevity, but I beg you, to give me a rebirth, just now, I said two reasons, in fact, the first one is the most main The first one is the most important one. In a person's life, there are a lot of wrong things to do. At that time, you thought you didn't feel that you hurt other people, you took advantage of people and you would be complacent, you wouldn't feel guilty, but what did you get? Really in your old age, you carefully look back on your life, you will only remember a sentence, with people good, to get a good end." Huang Lao said to me.
This question, I was at a loss, it is reasonable to say that I should answer with my mouth full, even if I don't help Huang Lao to do it in the future, he died, what can I do?
If really solved that mystery, by the way to help him reborn, it is not much of a big deal, he can not be reborn after the things to me to ask over ah.
Using a nebulous rebirth in exchange for a fortune that is enough for me to struggle for my entire life is impossible to reach, this deal, the person who doesn't do it is a fool!
"Deal." I said.
I don't know why, obviously I know myself that the person who doesn't do it is a fool, but after I really agreed to it, I felt so damn vulgar!
But for the sake of money, tacky is tacky, I even started to yearn for the life after I had money!
"I will go back and do something like this, I believe that you are a most trustworthy person, because you keep your promises." Huang Lao said.
chapter fiftieth going north again
This side of the matter of the follow-up has no need for me to continue to stay on this side, and then heard is in the bombing of the nine miles of mountain after the Lotus Basin village is not peaceful, presumably because this nine miles of mountain is not big, but it is the Lotus Basin village of the location of the eye of the feng shui. Feng Shui eye, will bring some bad things in a short time.
I went back to a trip to Luoyang, and did not rush to hand over the old man's career, temporarily he also just said, I did not really sit and wait for so much money to my name every day, this side of Luoyang to arrange a little business, now business, in fact, some of the important employees are indispensable, the most dispensable is the boss, of course, because of this time and I was born to die, even if the critical juncture abandoned me once, and later also saved me once, but I have to go to the hospital. The most important thing is that the nine two and gourd children a are not in the case, Leizi is considered one of my most trusted people.
I went back to a lock head village, parents in not far away, although my father left, grandmother and my mother are still at home, I went to a princess tomb, there is no movement, the trigger of this matter is the old man Huang want to open the princess tomb, plot inside the Jade Seal of State, but the development of the princess tomb to now, the princess tomb has not opened the signs, but I am not in a hurry. After all, the slanders are still there, and I vaguely feel that the opening of the Princess's Tomb, need an opportunity.
When the time comes, I don't need to do it, the secrets of this place will naturally be revealed. When the time comes, no one can force it. I went to my grandfather's grave and burned some incense and paper money, without saying too much to him. This grandfather who I felt incredibly familiar with when I was alive but became more and more strange and unintelligible after my death, even if I asked, he couldn't have given me much guidance, not to mention, there are ears on the other side of the wall, and there is still a weasel in my grandfather's grave.
With Master Li's example in front of me, I was actually very afraid that something inhuman and demonic would pop out from inside and tell me that he was my grandfather, just as I was afraid that one day I would see a small child say to me San Liang Xiao You. I am Huang Fengtu.
–After spending a night in my old home, I hid the three incenses, something Song Xiaoguang had given me, with these three incenses, I could summon the three ghosts of the Li family, and I hid these three incenses along with that USB flash drive stored with the lotus pattern on my grandfather's back, which would be my retreat only if I was really in a desperate situation one day.
-After that, I went back to Luoyang and contacted He Qinghua and Aunt Pei, saying that I would go north once again. What I was most worried about now, was Chen Jiuzi, she had really disappeared for too long. And they will still be in the hands of the White Lotus Sect.
Lin Bachian this time back after once again disappeared, fat man also with me to go, I asked him Lin Bachian went where, fat man laughed: "This guy thought he was a god of war, this time did not beat that blood corpse, stimulated, presumably find a place to retreat and cultivate?"
"I seem to vaguely remember you said, you guys are from a place back, after coming back you guys seem to become weaker?" I asked Fatty.
"Today seems to be another good weather ah, ah, you see the sun is really big and blinding ah!" Fatty said, fat people actually sometimes more than Lin put money to make people feel annoying, Lin Bachan do not want to say, directly ignore you, while the fat people, on the other hand, will be a sentence, today's weather is good, can let a person instantly egg broken.
However, the basis of mutual respect between friends is to respect each other's secrets, I can also feel, they called that place, and I have been listening to them mention Lin Xiaofan related, and did not continue to ask, after nine deaths, Leizi at least got the status of the child in Luoyang, but the fat man did not get anything, but also to continue to go with me to Beijing, this is quite let me touched, I can ask for something else?
–Luoyang City makes me feel relaxed, Beijing gives me a lot of pressure, Aunt Pei's restaurant, is Beijing officials and dignitaries can only come to the place, to our place but we were treated as a stagecoach station, for me, Aunt Pei, this mysterious woman seems to show great patience, we came to help contact Zhuge Qingfeng, Aunt Pei knows! What I want, I want to see Li Dangguo, from his mouth, know the whereabouts of Chen Jiuzi.
This time we made an appointment outside a club, I, Fatty, and He Qinghua to go to the appointment, the Li family experienced this big storm, but now almost calm, but the good thing is that there is no decimation, but the Li family in politics want to restore the former glory, it is estimated that there is no longer possible. The most important thing is that I came to Beijing to realize that He Xiaoyu since the last time out to the present, and did not come back.
This gave me an ominous premonition, perhaps, He Xiaoyu was being hunted down and persecuted by the White Lotus Sect, just like my second uncle Zhao Wuji?
However, I did not say this to He Qinghua, this little girl although strong, but recently happened to him is also too much, we came early to the club, asked for a room to wait for Zhuge Qingfeng's arrival, Zhuge Qingfeng this person, in fact, give me a similar feeling with the old man Huang, are both self-righteous and rely on the old, so for his tardiness, we are also accustomed to it, but in the wait for an hour! Later, still did not wait for his people, this is really a little let a person feel depressed, and embarrassed to let Pei sister to urge, I'm okay, the fat man is an acute, has long begun to curse, pulling me to go, said the fat master I also know a few old people in Beijing, although retired, but want to help to see Li Dangguo words, there is no difficulty.
"Wait for another half an hour, if we can't wait then we can leave." I pacified Fatty.
-In fact, we did not continue to wait for long, almost ten minutes later, Zhuge Qingfeng did not come, but our sword came a hipster with sunglasses and mask, tall and thin, this dress with the fear of being recognized by the fans of the stars, Beijing stars are many, I have recognized a few on the street, said: "Brother, go to the wrong room, right?" – – This person, how can not be Zhuge Qingfeng, much younger, and, Zhuge Qingfeng will not be so cover up.
I look at his eyes, seems to smile at me, then took off the sunglasses, I look at this eyes are somewhat familiar, but for a moment have not recognized, but there is no denying that this is a pair of extremely good-looking peach blossom eyes, and then, he took off the mask, ringed me and said, "Boy, I walked into the wrong room?"
"Brother!" He Qinghua, who was beside me, instantly lost control of her emotions when she saw this face and cried out, falling into this person's arms with a sniffle and a tear. The young man patted He Qinghua's shoulder, also with a face of favor.
As for me, I absolutely couldn't suppress the ecstasy I felt at the sight of this young man, although I didn't spend much time with him, I had a great fondness for this young man, and rigorously speaking, I even owed him the favor of saving my life.
Yes, you guys didn't guess wrong, this person, is He Pingan who I thought was dead in the temple. That little fresh meat!
"Alright, so many people are here, crying your nose? Even if you cry, you still rub your nose on brother's body? Don't you know that brother is very poor right now, and this outfit is so damn expensive?!" He Pingan laughed. It was not easy to calm down the agitated He Qinghua, the four of us sat down and served the food, and did not wait for Huang Lao.
He Pingan's face, there are two scars, but definitely not disfigured, he is a little white temperament, really added these two scars also added a little wild flavor in it.
"How did you survive?" I asked.
"Do you want me dead so badly that you're not going to take responsibility for me?" He threw me a wink.
I hung on to a mouthful of water and cursed, "Fuck you, what the hell is going on?"
"I think it was Zhao Wuji who saved me, at that time, they saved you in the middle of the ruins, and then sent you away, only after that did they find me, I was sent to another place that seemed to be very secret for that matter, and was locked up, but while locking me up, Zhao Wuji gave me a key, and I think it was a necessity for him to capture me, and he was, at that time, planning for me to escape. " He Pingan said.
