Pushing the crooked neck tree away hard, it fell backwards. The force brought by inertia caused the roots of the tree to be pulled out of the loose grave soil.
I covered my shoulders in pain, and the broken tree roots still pierced part of my skin.
The sun warmed up again, and when I moved a little further away from the grave, I realized that the brief minute of heavy overcast had passed.
If I had waited any longer, I might have died suddenly on the way down the mountain!
Whether it was an hallucination or a coincidence that the tree fell down, I knew very well that Li Yinyang wanted to keep me here...
The mourning stick flew seven or eight meters and was stuck on another lonely grave. I pulled it out and pinned it to my waist. Suddenly I thought that the end of the mourning stick just now might have something to do with the mourning stick?
After all, it is a copper rod that can ward off evil spirits, and it is even engraved with a curse to suppress evil!
The speed of my feet continued unabated, and after another hour or so, I finally made it down the mountain.
The flowing water has converged into a small river here, which is Xiaoliu River.
The river flowed forward quietly and slowly. I looked around and saw that this location was relatively unfamiliar. There were more low mountains around, but I couldn't see any houses.
I kept walking along the Xiaoliu River and finally reached the top of Xiaoliu Mountain. I was able to recognize the road and went straight back to the village.
I didn't even look back during the whole process.
Passing the abandoned Wang family house, the old village road, and then the normal village road, I saw cars parked in front of some villagers' homes, and people were moving things.
After they saw me, they all looked frightened and lowered their heads to enter the house or get in the car.
I can tell at a glance that these villagers who survived by chance have no intention of living in Xiaoliu Village.
When I returned to my yard, I didn't stay too long. I carried the wooden box on my back, searched around again, took my mother's photo and memorial tablet with me, and hurried out of the village.
I didn't stop at the entrance of the village and walked straight out.
During this period, I called Feng Bao and asked him to drive to pick me up.
I walked on the road for almost an hour and finally met up with Feng Bao's car. After getting in the car and heading into the city, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Bao didn't speak at first, but now he asked me in surprise: "Mr. Luo, you have been sweating, what happened?"
"I heard what they said about the Qi family. Are you handling the aftermath in the village?"
I shook my head and said it had nothing to do with the Qi family and asked him not to ask more about it. It would do him no good.
Feng Baocai quickly shut up.
I asked Feng Bao to give me the cigarette again. I lit one and took a long puff. The spicy taste flowed through my lungs, and I became more calm.
"Take me to Uncle Chen's house." I said directly.
In fact, as a Feng Shui master, Zhang Er should know some information about the Evil Corpse Pill. After all, he helped me take out the Corpse Pill from my belly.
It's just that this matter is too important, and grandma's attitude towards Zhang Er is unclear. He should be acquainted with my grandfather. I trust Zhang Er at a superficial level and I have no problem cooperating on some things.
But if I were asked to tell Zhang Er about the Evil Corpse Pill, I couldn't do it.
Apart from grandma, the only people I can completely trust are Liu Wensan and Blind Chen. Now I can only choose to talk to Blind Chen.
On the way to Chen Xiazi Chaoyang's house, I calmed down and asked Feng Bao whether Mao Yuanyang and Zhang Er had gone to Feng's house.
Feng Bao nodded: "Mr. Zhang has been staying at Feng's house, and Master Mao has also come. They are all waiting for news. There are many casualties in Changqing Taoist Temple. Four died the day before yesterday. There are also people who have not survived the past two days. After resuscitation, they died in the hospital. A total of seven or eight people should have died."
"Those Feng Shui masters were a little better, but one named Fang Tangming was a little miserable. Although he woke up, he seemed to have lost his mind and was acting stupidly."
"The head of the family has also inquired about some information. Those members of the Qi family should be sentenced, but not all the Qi family members participated. For example, Qi Lanxin and others were called in for questioning and were disassociated from the matter. There are also some Those who were scattered outside did not join. Now Qi Lanxin is sorting out the affairs of the Qi family and taking over the Qi family's business."
Feng Bao told me almost everything I wanted to know in one breath.
I nodded slightly and was thinking in my mind, maybe the old man was caught off guard by us, lost this opportunity, and was dormant looking for a new opportunity?
But I can also be sure that he can't find a group of people like Xiaoliu Village. If there are so many souls who hate me in the longevity bowl, there must be a huge flaw!
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived outside the second floor of Lao Ding's house.
I asked Feng Bao to wait for me here, and then walked to the door of Chaoyang House and knocked on the door.
It was Hua Gu who opened the door.
She looked at me in surprise and asked me why I came here again? Haven't you already taken Xiao Hei away? Uncle Chen doesn't want to go out, and he doesn't want to help me.
I smiled bitterly and asked Hua Gu to let me in. I really had something important to discuss with Uncle Chen.
Hua Gu hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: "You can come in, but be mentally prepared, Uncle Chen won't leave with you." Then she got out of the way.
After entering Chaoyang House, I felt a mixture of warmth and coldness on my body, but this was nothing compared to the feeling at Li Yinyang's grave. In the yard, bananas, peach trees, bamboos... a series of heavy shade vegetation all grow luxuriantly.
I met Blind Chen in the yard.
At this moment, Blind Man Chen was wearing the common clothes of an ordinary old man. His back was even more stooped, and he was squatting on the ground weaving a bamboo cart.
I could probably recognize the frame. It was a stroller made of bamboo used in rural areas in the old days.
"Uncle Chen." I called him.
Only then did Blind Chen raise his head, glanced at me with his gray-white eyes, and said with his lips: "Go and get a bowl of dog blood porridge for Shiliu. He is sluggish and lacks yang energy. Let Shiliu replenish it first."
He waved his hand and said it wouldn't be so troublesome.
Only then did Blind Chen ask me, what happened to me that I really couldn’t solve myself, so I wanted to come to him?
I sighed softly, and did not say anything about the old man who stole his life, but simply said a few words about my grandfather digging his own ancestral grave and burying his master Li Yinyang.
Then I took out the Corpse Pill stored close to me and handed it to Blind Chen. At the same time, I asked him if I dug up Li Yinyang's Corpse Pill, he shouldn't be able to get out, right?
And what use can this evil corpse’s Corpse Pill be used for?
Blind Chen's body was immediately shaken, his gray-white eyes narrowed to a slit, and he took the Corpse Pill.
He weighed it twice before murmuring: "It is indeed a corpse elixir, but it is cold when it comes to hand. It is essentially different from the good corpse corpse elixir I have here."
Blind Chen shook his head and then said: "Sixteen, you are looking for the wrong person when you are looking for Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen doesn't understand the Corpse Pill at all. He left the Good Corpse Pill to save you some trouble."
"The feathered corpse has lost its corpse elixir. Someone must know what will happen."
My body stiffened unnaturally, and I said with a wry smile: "Do I have to go find Zhang Er?"
I wanted to talk about my doubts about Zhang Er’s identity and the reasons why I didn’t dare to trust Zhang Er too much.
Blind Chen shook his head and said, "It's not Zhang Er."
