There was a lot of leaf dust in the courtyard, and there were a lot of spider webs on the tree trunk boards. It was obvious that no one had taken care of them all year round.
"How long has this yard been empty?" I asked subconsciously.
Zhang Quan thought for a while and then replied: "About five or six years? When Mr. Hou was taken out of the town, it was about a year?"
As he spoke, Zhang Quan punched the palm of his hand with force again. He nodded solemnly and said yes, it was the same year. It should be only a month or two different.
After Mr. Hou left, the coffin maker who lived here also left.
After a pause, Zhang Quan sighed and said: "Our town used to be much more prosperous than it is now. Mr. Hou is quite famous. Many people come to him to tell fortunes. He doesn't tell fortunes at any time every day. After just a few fortune tellings, there will be a lot of people queuing up, most of them people of high status."
"The restaurants, inns, and business in the town are all good." "And Father Lu is good at making coffins. There are some big shots who ask Father Lu to make coffins in advance. He has a lot of rules and must be personable." When I was a child, I asked him to make a coffin, but when the person died, he would not care about it."
"There was a saying back then, that Mr. Hou is the master of life, and Lu Coffin is the master of death. If you want wealth, officialdom, silk, or peace of mind after death, you should come to Xuanhu Town."
At this point, Zhang Quan sighed again and said that now everyone in the town wants Mr. Hou dead, and Father Lu is missing.
I was stunned again, what I was thinking about was those words.
Lu Coffin knows death, can he figure out when a person will die?
During this period, Liu Huayan pulled the big ox to the wellhead on the east side of the courtyard. She filled a basin of water for the big ox to drink.
Liu Tianniu went to the main room and sat on a wooden chair.
He Zhi was looking at other locations in the courtyard.
At this time, all of us could not hide our tiredness.
Zhang Quan even yawned several times in succession. He stood in the middle of the yard and stared blankly in one direction.
I took a breath and pressed my eyebrows, forcing myself to be more awake.
We were tired from traveling, and when we arrived at Xuanhu Town, we went to Xuanhu Waterfall to look for corpses. We then got into a fight with Hou Qianshu, and then went up the mountain without resting all night.
I took out my pocket watch and looked down at the time. It was almost noon.
According to this time, Ge Guang is about to invite Mr. Guan here.
But if we insist on holding on, there will definitely be big problems.
If we don't resolve this matter during the day and delay it until night, we may not be able to hold on.
Taking a deep breath, I pressed my eyebrows harder.
Then I called He Zhi and asked her to wait and go to sleep. The two of us slept for an hour, and then took turns to relax.
He Zhi nodded and said yes, and didn't ask anything else.
I walked into the main room and told Liu Tianniu to let him and Liu Huayan rest for a while and get some sleep.
Liu Huayan said softly: "Let's take turns between the three of us, and let Zhang Quan take a rest." I shook my head and said no. He Fei and I would take turns every hour and take a break in the courtyard.
Zhang Quan had to hold on at least until dark, and he had to go out for a walk.
After a pause, I explained: Daochang Liu is stronger. If it weren't for him, we would definitely not be able to get down the mountain. Now that they have taken away the coffin of Hou Qianshu's wife, and with the arrival of the official, there is no way the matter will be resolved.
Hou Qianshu definitely can't die. If he can bear it, that's okay.
But if he couldn't help but come out, he would definitely be killed.
We can't let this happen. We have to rely on Daochang Liu to take action and try to save Hou Qianshu's life, so the master and apprentice must get enough rest.
He Pheasant and I may not be able to come in handy, so we will sleep less.
As for Zhang Quan, he is the only person in the town we can trust. He has to go out and watch. If the mayor brings the officials and they want to target Hou Qianshu in advance, they must inform us immediately.
I explained everything in one breath.
Only then did Liu Huayan understand. She nodded slightly and walked to a bamboo lounge chair on the other side to sit down and rest.
As for Liu Tianniu, he actually closed his eyes, as if he was resting and recuperating.
There were many chairs in the room, so I asked He Zhi to find a chair to lie down and sleep on. He Zhi nodded and went to rest.
Finally I returned to Zhang Quan.
Zhang Quan's eyes were clearer now, but his eyeballs were filled with bloodshot eyes, obviously he was holding on forcibly.
Before I could speak, Zhang Quan said in a hoarse voice: "I heard everything clearly, Mr. Li, I don't need to sleep, just go outside and keep an eye out. If anything happens, come back and report the news."
"Be careful, Ge Guang is not big-hearted, don't let them find you, otherwise, it may be detrimental to you." I warned in a deep voice.
Zhang Quan nodded immediately, turned around and opened the courtyard door, closed it quietly and left.
I looked back and saw that everyone was indeed tired, but it was only half a cup of tea and most of them were already fast asleep.
I found a wooden pillar and sat down. The sun shone on me, and I felt sleepy again.
Shaking my head, I took out the Zhai Jing and started to read it.
However, because I was too sleepy and lacked concentration, I couldn't read it. In the end, I had to give up and turn to the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng.
Although I don't have many vaginal receptions, I know very well that if I learn it thoroughly, I will be able to hand over this skill and be worthy of Luo Yinpo.
And there is no guarantee that you will never encounter something that needs to be connected to the vagina again. With one more tool at your side, you can walk outside and your body will be straighter.
By some strange coincidence, I turned to one of the pages.
This page is already the last three pages of the Nine Arts of Yin Sheng.
What is recorded on it is the ninth art, the art of life.
I had only briefly seen this technique before. In fact, I could not master all the nine Yin Sheng techniques.
The function of this life technique is to save people's lives, but it also consumes Yangshou.
I looked down at it for a long time, and there was a detailed description on it.
If a pregnant woman dies during childbirth, because the fetus has no name, it should have been stillborn and unable to be reincarnated, so rebirth techniques are devised to show mercy to the soul that has never been born.
If the yin mother loses ten years of yang life, you can draw a Qilin symbol to infuse the yang energy of the baby's birth.
He was born as a yin-born son, gathering yang at the age of six, moving yang at the age of 12, and exploring the yang pass at the age of 22.
I hope that future generations of women who will take over the vagina will remember that birthing techniques should not be used indiscriminately. It depends on the character of the pregnant woman before she was born.
There is a calamity when a son is born in Yin. When he is twenty-two years old, he visits Yangguan and the mother is looking for a son. If he is evil in life, he will kill his son after death.
After reading this passage, my heart beat wildly. Before I read this, I didn't pay attention to the redundant descriptions. I just saw how the spells should be used.
At this time, seeing clearly how to use this life technique also made me feel a little more fearful.
Suddenly, I thought of my twenty-two years old, and my mother...
My expression changed again.
Po Luo Yin... and my mother is a female evil spirit...
And what Jiang Yihong said to me...
Could it be that when I was born, Po Luo Yin used the rebirth technique on me? !
As soon as I thought of this, I felt that I might have figured something out.
But just at this moment, someone gently tapped him on his shoulder.
This time, I was so frightened that I almost lost my soul.
