Shangenzhai, this place has hardly changed in the past few years.
Dong Ping's return made Dong Li and his wife cry with joy. It was more than a year since their beloved son, who had been raised for many years, left for the first time. During this period, Dong Li had the opportunity to go to the town, but he deliberately did not go, for fear of affecting his son's future.
Now, the couple looked at their son with his back straight and his body strong. They looked pleased and grateful and saluted Luo Guan repeatedly.
"Sir, please come in quickly. Go kill the chickens, get the bacon from last winter, and make a fire to cook!"
The only tea at home was wild tea picked from the mountains, and the taste was very ordinary. Dong Li rubbed his hands and said, "It's really disrespectful to entertain sir like this."
Luo Guan asked him to sit down and took a sip of tea. "You and I are old friends. Now that Dong Ping calls me sir again, don't be overly exaggerated."
"Hey! Hey!" Dong Li looked happy and talked beside Luo Guan, while Dong Ping went to the kitchen to make a fire with his mother to cook.
When the food was served, Luo Guan glanced at Dong Ping. Although he had washed his face, his eyes were still a little red.
He didn't ask much. After dinner, Dong Ping took the initiative and said, "Sir... my grandma passed away... my father didn't tell me..."
Luo Guan, the old lady of the Dong family, met her once. She was a blind woman, or she was physically disabled and somewhat withdrawn. She only exchanged a few words with him, but it was obvious that she liked Dong Ping very much.
Luo Guan thought for a moment and said, "Your father and mother didn't handle this matter well, but you don't blame them, you know?"
Dong Ping nodded with red eyes, "Sir, I want to visit my grandma's grave and tell her that I'm fine now, so she shouldn't worry."
"Well, you just go." After preparing some incense paper money, Dong Ping and his mother went out carrying a bamboo basket.
Dong Li was a little embarrassed and sad, and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Sir, I am actually my mother... She knew that Dong Ping was following you, so you asked me not to tell him... I was afraid of being seen by him, so I He has not been to Liyuan Town for more than a year, and he only had two messages from people telling him that everything was fine at home."
Luo Guan nodded, "The old lady loves her children and grandchildren and has good intentions." After a pause, he continued, "Brother Dong, if one day I have to take Dong Ping away, will you be willing to do so?"
Dong Li was startled and asked cautiously, "Are you going to be gone for a long time?"
"perhaps."
Dong Li took a deep breath and folded his hands, "Since I am following you, Sir, I will obey your orders in everything!" When he handed over his son, he was mentally prepared, but this day came earlier than he imagined.
"Huh?" Luo Guan's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned as he looked in the direction of the village cemetery. An obscure, cold energy appeared in his perception. As the Lord of Fengshan Cave Heaven, he is now gradually mastering supernatural powers, and there is some kind of connection between him and this small world.
association.
Of course, it is still in its infancy, and its perception is limited to a certain range around the body.
Dong Li said, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Luo Guan thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say now, let's go over and have a look... Don't worry, there is no danger." He walked out of Dong's house and walked towards the cemetery.
Dong Li hurriedly followed behind. His wife and children were there at this time. Even if Luo Guan said it was okay, how could he feel at ease?
hiss--
Previously, the village leader who was keeping watch at night said that he had seen a strange black shadow in the cemetery when he was patrolling at night... He just thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
Immediately, he quickly told Luo Guan about this, with a worried look on his face, "Sir, our village has always been peaceful. Could it be that we really provoked something unclean?"
Luo Guan thought thoughtfully and said, "Normally, this kind of situation should not happen here, but there are no absolutes in this world..." Now, he is more interested.
Although Fengshan Cave Heaven bears the name of "Cave Heaven", it is actually "Spirit Jue Dao Slash". How could ghosts and gods be born?
Soon, the two came outside the cemetery. Luo Guan glanced around and saw Dong Ping kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in front of a new tomb, whispering something, and in front of him was burning paper money.
In addition, in front of another grave not far away, paper money is also burning at the moment, and the power of incense invisible to the naked eye is being inhaled.
Among the graves.
Luo Guan's eyes narrowed, and his vision suddenly changed. He vaguely saw a floating shadow in the coffin. As if it sensed the gaze from the outside world, the shadow trembled, but it seemed to be very afraid of the daytime, and still curled up there motionless.
The obscure, cold energy that Luo Guan had sensed before came from this. He thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed, "Whose is the other tomb that is being worshipped?"
Dong Li looked over and said, "Sir, that is the grave of the old village chief." His lips moved, but he hesitated several times.
Luo Guan said, "Don't make any noise, I will come over tonight."
"yes."
call--
A gust of wind blew, and Dong Li's face turned pale.
He is a strong man, but he has never experienced anything like this. If Luo Guan hadn't been by his side now, his legs would have gone weak.
Old village chief!
You have no children, but we villagers take turns waiting at your bedside.
It's been a month, and I've taken care of your funeral arrangements.
If you really...really have any unfulfilled wishes...don't make trouble in the village...Really, sir, you are back. If you want to be well...just leave as soon as possible...
After burning the paper money and completing the memorial ceremony, Dong Ping and his mother came over, "Sir, why are you here? I'm fine... Grandma is old. You told me to get used to separation, and I remember it."
Luo Guan smiled and touched his head, "That's good. I was worried that you might cry secretly, so let's go." He took another look at the old village chief's grave and took the lead to leave.
Dong Li held his wife with one hand and his son with the other, turned around and left.
After returning home, Luo Guan wanted to give the family more time to be alone, so he returned to the small courtyard next door. .??.??
It seems that Dong Li and his wife have made some repairs to it. Although several years have passed, it is more organized than before. The ground in the courtyard has also been compacted, and two persimmon trees have been planted. I don’t know what kind they are, but they are now blooming. , a faint fragrance fills the courtyard.
Luo Guan found a chair and sat under the persimmon tree. He squinted his eyes while basking in the sun and looked at Dadong Mountain not far away.
The Flower Goddess was there. If he wanted to go there, he would see her again soon, and it would be very simple for him to want something to happen.
But Luo Guan didn't do that. The fate between people is very wonderful, and his union with the Flower God is full of absurdity and drama.
But now that this kind of relationship has come to an end, we should no longer be greedy for it.
On the other side, the Dong family.
Dong's wife rubbed her wrist and said angrily, "What bad thing have you done? Or is there a dog chasing you? Why are you running so fast! My wrist is swollen from your pinch. If my husband hadn't been here, I wouldn't have been able to bear it." Stop giving me a kick."
Dong Li hesitated, "It's okay, I just walked a little too fast... so what... you don't go there much these days..."
Before she finished speaking, Dong's wife opened her eyes wide, gritted her teeth and shouted, "Well, Dong Li! I knew that Widow Sun must have something to do with you, otherwise why are you feeling guilty here? Dong, you are so awesome. , I am exhausted at home, you play with me, I will never finish with you today!"
Dong Li was startled and quickly covered her mouth, "Are you crazy? What are you talking about? Don't let sir!" Seeing his wife's angry face, he smiled bitterly and said, "I really have something to do with Widow Sun. It won't take three days." Oh my god, even if it’s spread throughout the village, I can still hide it from you until today?”
Dong's wife thought this was the truth. She broke away from her husband and said, "It's okay. Why do you feel guilty? Why don't you let me go?"
Dong Li had no choice but to lean into her ear and whisper a few words.

"Ah!" Dong's wife turned pale, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground, "Really...really?"
Dong Li warned her, "Don't go out and say it, don't even tell Dong Ping... Sir, please remember not to make it public!"
Dong's wife nodded repeatedly and complained to him, "Tell me, why are you telling me this? I'm afraid I can't tell others..."
Dong Li...
Tired, destroy it!
Under the persimmon tree, Luo Guan suddenly laughed, and most of the sadness in his heart disappeared.
Sure enough, creatures like women are very difficult to control. It might not be a bad thing for him to be temporarily separated from the Flower Goddess.
At night.
After dinner, Dong Li bravely came to the next door and said, "Sir, let me go with you."
He gritted his teeth and looked as if he was ready to die.
Luo Guan smiled and said, "It's not as serious as you think. Maybe it's a good thing? You stay at home and I'll go there by myself."
The villages soon lost their lights at night. They were all poor people, and few of them were willing to be extravagant enough to light up lights at night. Occasionally, two dogs barked, echoing in the quiet village, and several village men on night watch could be seen in the distance to prevent wild beasts from sneaking in and hurting people.
Fortunately, the stars and moon are shining tonight, and although it is not too bright, I can barely see anything.
When Luo Guan walked to the village cemetery, he glanced at the graves, then continued to move forward, and soon came to outside a house.
It's obvious that no one has lived here for a long time. There are some weeds growing at the door and a pile of fallen leaves, which makes it look a bit desolate and desolate.
The door was locked, so Luo Guan opened it and walked in.
Whoosh——
A black shadow flashed across the room, and the feeling of being watched came from the darkness.
Luo Guan sensed it again and confirmed that although the mass of energy was cold and cold, it was very transparent and pure, and was not contaminated with evil blood. Then he handed over his hand and said, "Old village chief, we have not seen each other for several years. Tonight, my old friend is here to visit. Please welcome me." Show up and see me."
After a few breaths, a dark shadow floated out, illuminated by the faint light of the stars and moon
, it turned out to be the old village chief, his eyes widened with shock on his face, "Sir, you are indeed an extraordinary person... you are not afraid of me..." He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was startled, "During the day today, that look in your face was that of Mr. "
Luo Guan smiled and said, "The ghost body of the old village chief is very mysterious. If you hadn't instinctively absorbed the power of the incense when Xiao Dongping paid homage, I might not have noticed it."
He looked up and down and said, "I'd like to ask the old village chief, but what special experience did you have to gather your ghosts after death to keep your spiritual consciousness alive?"
