The woman Shen Ji calls Aunt Tang has already begun to measure my waist size and height.
The rules in Ji Niang Village are complicated, I know that.
Before important events, you need to take a shower and change clothes. This is also the rule of Mr. Yin Yang.
But the faint joy in Aunt Tang's eyes made me feel uncomfortable.
Especially what she said just now, she was waiting for us when we entered the village and didn't sleep all night...
Did she already know that she wanted to measure me?
My thoughts were racing in my head.
A few minutes later, Aunt Tang finished measuring me.
She looked me up and down again, and said with a smile: "The clothes will be ready tomorrow. There shouldn't be anything wrong."
Shen Ji nodded and said she would pick it up tomorrow.
Then she looked at me again and said, "Come with me now to see the Master. He has sent all the available people to search throughout the village and will find the golden abacus for you."
I didn't expect that Shen Ji would take me to see Mr. Yin.
In fact, I also plan to be honest with Mr. Yin. Even if he doesn’t tell me what he wants me to do until he goes up the mountain, at least he has to tell me first when he plans to go to Ji Niang Mountain.
Knowing a departure time is better than knowing nothing.
Within a few minutes, I came to Mr. Yin's priest's residence again. After entering, there was a large copper cauldron placed in the yard.
There were at least twenty people standing on each side of the courtyard walls.
After we entered the courtyard, the door was immediately closed.
Mr. Yin stood in front of the main room. He nodded slightly and gestured to me.
As I got closer, there were so many people, but it gave me a faint feeling of palpitations.
I couldn't say much else, so I asked him why he asked me to come. At the same time, I also asked when he planned to go up the mountain to complete the emergence of the bun girl.
Mr. Yin smiled and told me that he was already making preparations, but because my things were stolen the night before and yesterday, something went wrong and I was somewhat affected.
He has arranged for people to search the village. Someone from Jin Abacus is looking for me. We will not continue to delay time and set off as soon as possible.
I asked how fast is as soon as possible? Having an accurate time will allow me, Blind Man Chen, and Mrs. He to be prepared.
Mr. Yin paused for a moment and replied, "After you change your clothes, Shen Ji should have taken you to have your body measured just now. You can put on suitable clothes and set off."
In fact, I couldn't suppress my doubts and wanted to ask Mr. Yin what I could do.
Because I also recalled that day when Mr. Yin and I met in the village, he once said that when I understand the method of burying shadows, there will be opportunities for changes, and the bun girl will also have the possibility of becoming an immortal.
He didn't go into too much detail at that time. It was only when I arrived at Buniang Village that I realized that this change was done by Zhang Jiugua, or was it a method that existed in Buniang Village itself and was just pointed out by Zhang Jiugua?
Mr. Yin suddenly fell silent. He looked at me steadily for a few seconds.
Then, he looked at the large copper vat.
It lasted for half a minute, and I didn't interrupt him during this time.
A smile suddenly appeared on Mr. Yin's face. He nodded and said, "I thought I would tell you after we go up the mountain, but I can tell you now. I can trust you."
I don’t know why, but Mr. Yin’s words made my heart beat.
If it were an ordinary person, hearing him say this would definitely make him feel happy.
But to me, it always feels like a bit of a cover-up.
Then, Mr. Yin continued: "Remember when I gave you "Burying Shadows and Viewing Mountains"."
I nodded.
Mr. Yin continued: "Your master Zhang Jiugua said that if you understand the method of burying shadows, you will have the opportunity to make the bun girl become an immortal. This method is also what he said."
My heart skipped a beat.
Is this really what Zhang Jiugua said?
Doesn't that mean that my doubts about Mr. Yin and Shen Ji these days are all due to suspicion?
I suppressed the changes in my inner emotions and did not interrupt Mr. Yin's words.
Mr. Yin continued: "Zhang Jiugua once said that the details of the hexagram require you to use the shadow burial method to find a hole in the tomb of Bun Niang. That hole is the key to the bun girl's emergence again. After finding it, , gather all the corpses of men over the years, blow the suona, and water the inscriptions with the blood of the corpses, so that the bun lady can be awakened to climb to the tomb."
"As for your incomplete 25 essence, it will lead to the decline of various abilities, including the method of burying shadows, which cannot be used normally, and it is more likely to cause variables, so I went to get the elixir."
Mr. Yin's understatement told me what he wanted me to do and the whole way to help the bun girl.
It doesn't seem to be difficult or dangerous.
At the end of the day, Shen Ji also spoke softly: "There are strict clan rules in Ji Niang Village. No outsiders are allowed to visit Ji Niang's grave."
"Last time you sneaked in, broke the rules, and asked you to leave. Master was also under a lot of pressure."
"So this time, you can only follow us up. Blind Chen and Mrs. He can only wait under the ice peak at most."
"Master and I have come up with a compromise. You put on a suit of clothing, follow the customary rules of a bun girl marrying a husband, and follow us up the mountain. In this way, there will be no objections in the village."
As soon as Shen Ji said these words, I couldn't suppress the change in my complexion.
With doubts in my eyes, I took a step back.
It was at this time that I realized that the twenty-odd people who had been standing on both sides of the courtyard wall had unknowingly stood at the entrance of the courtyard, clearly blocking my way.
There was no change in Shen Ji's expression.
Mr. Yin's Chinese-character face actually showed some sincerity.
My heart sank, and I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
In fact, I was already very vigilant, but still neglected to take precautions.
I always feel that even if Mr. Yin wants to do something, it must be after going up the mountain. Blind Chen and Mrs. He also have similar ideas to me, so they are less vigilant.
"Mr. Yin, I'm afraid this method is inappropriate." My eyelids were twitching wildly, and I tried to stay calm and not break out immediately.
At least Mr. Yin is still smiling, and Shen Ji's explanation is reasonable.
Mr. Yin sighed softly and said: "It is indeed wrong to let you go up the mountain like this, but this is the clan rule. Otherwise, it will be a lot of trouble."
Shen Ji suddenly said something else: "Luo Shiliu, can't you trust us? Master went to get the Corpse Pill and risked his life. We will not harm you, and there is no need to harm you."
I was about to speak.
Suddenly, a cold old woman's voice came from outside the hospital.
"Luo Shiliu is still alive. If you ask him to wear the clothes of a dead person and follow you up the mountain, does that mean he has to marry that shoehorn-faced bun girl?"
"I don't believe you if you want my old master to become an immortal. How can you use the rules to say that Shiliu is not allowed to climb the mountain?"
"Rules are dead, people are alive. You can go up the mountain, you can help, but Lao Shizi's bun girl wants to marry a husband, no need to talk about it!"
