The old man stood at the door of the teahouse with an extremely complicated expression.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
I asked calmly, leaning on the recliner.
Qi Dingzhou gritted his teeth and walked into the teahouse.
The person who came was none other than Director Jingmen...Qi Dingzhou.
I asked: "Are you coming to the teahouse to give me a life-and-death contract?"
"The life and death deed is in Li Kuhai's hand. Didn't he tell you to go to Maoshan Changxuan Palace to get it that day? I don't have the life and death deed in my hand."
Qi Dingzhou said in a deep voice.
"Since there is no life and death contract, what are you doing here? Help me clean the house, or help me read fortunes?"
I replied to him.
Hearing my words, Qi Dingzhou had a vague intention of having a fit: "Be careful when you talk to me! Although you are Huang Yongen's apprentice, no matter what, I am also your elder!"
"If you have something to say, if it's okay...just please do it." I said quietly.
Qi Dingzhou took a deep breath and said, "Let's make a deal."
"What deal?"
"I will return the position of leader of Jingmen to you!" Qi Dingzhou said.
"What do I get?" I asked.
When I saw Qi Dingzhou, I almost knew his intentions.
He is either coming to kill me, or he is coming to give me the leadership position.
In this way, there was just a chance to unlock the life and death contract on him.
Qi Dingzhou must be very anxious, and it can be seen that he has been tortured these days. Originally, his old face was still a little rosy, but in just a few days, he looked so haggard that he looked like he was about to enter a coffin.
If the life and death contract is not resolved, Qidingzhou will indeed be in a coffin.
I can feel that Qi Dingzhou's body smells like death, which is similar to the smell of Chen Wei's mother...
The life and death contract is so weird. If you violate the above rules, you will be punished by death.
"What else do you want? Isn't the leader of the Jingmen the best thing? The position of leader of the seven sects in the world, is this something that many people in the world dream of?"
Qi Dingzhou said.
I smiled and said, "I want a life and death contract."
"The life and death deed has been kept by Li Kuhai. He will not give it to me unless you get it yourself." Qi Dingzhou said back to me.
"Then there's no need to talk."
I said.
"You'd better think again. There won't be this store after passing this village. I'll only come to you once!"
Qi Dingzhou said arrogantly.
"Go back and prepare the coffin. Your death is coming soon. In addition, we, the Feng Shui people, have already taken advantage of all the Feng Shui luck in the world during our lives. After our death, we should not compete with others for Feng Shui treasures. We can find an ordinary cemetery as a burial ground. Future generations have accumulated good deeds." I replied.
"You, you, Chen Qi! Don't be too arrogant! If it weren't for Lu Mingdeng and Qian Laosan that day, you would have died in my hands. I, Qidingzhou, would not die like this. In the world of Shangjing, you Even if you are Huang Yongen’s apprentice, you’d better keep your tail between your legs!”
Qi Dingzhou said angrily.
After that, Qi Dingzhou walked away.
But when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said meaningfully to me: "Chen Qi, don't talk about me, even you yourself won't live long! I can't kill you now, and the other old people won't kill you easily. You, but there is someone who won’t worry so much.”
"When you first entered Shangjing, you made him an enemy. Although that kid is not very senior, he is very capable! You should also choose the coffin and cemetery as soon as possible. Maybe you will die before me!"
"His formation methods are excellent, and his sacrificial methods are even better! Even Qian Laosan can't protect you!"
When I heard what he said, I was slightly stunned.
Qi Dingzhou seemed to have had enough of his mouth, smiled happily, and then left with satisfaction.
The person Qi Dingzhou was talking about was undoubtedly Wei Chunming.
It was the woman in red whom I released, who trapped him in the villa for a long time. Naturally, Wei Chunming would not let it go.
He will come to me.
But before, I had not looked for the "big clue" of Wei Chunming for a long time, because I had expected this.
Therefore, I remain unchanged in response to all changes.
But what Qi Dingzhou said at this moment revealed something unexpected to me.
Wei Chunming is also a master of sacrificial practices...
If I hadn't discovered the group of dead children beforehand, hadn't seen the stone tablet, and the skulls under the stone tablet, I wouldn't have cared about it.
But now, I can't help but connect the two.
The most important thing is that Qian Laosan said so many things to me that day. In summary, he actually asked me to dig up what happened to Wei Chunming. At the same time, he didn't mention the stone tablet sacrifice.
Is it possible that Wei Chunming also has some unknown secrets related to the stone tablet sacrifice?
Thinking of this, after Qi Dingzhou left, I took a taxi and came again to the wilderness where I saw the dead boy.
The group of dead children left behind from the late Ming Dynasty had gone to play somewhere now.
I headed straight for the stone tablet.
I have a vague hunch that this sacrifice in the late Ming Dynasty is connected to Qian Laosan, Wei Chunming, and even, I guess, to the eternal life!
To my surprise, the places where the sacrificial stele recorded four hundred years ago had been scratched were strangely smooth.
The words engraved on the stone tablet became clearly visible...
