Since Qin Bukong remained in a state of being distracted, we didn't talk much on the way home. After a night's rest, most of the external injuries on my body have begun to heal. The remaining injuries that injured my muscles and bones will probably take about ten days to recover this time, but I think this is fine. , Firstly, the most important thing for everyone is time, and secondly, it is just a good time to use this period of time to let Qin Bukong adjust his mood. Although I have never experienced the grief of losing a close friend, when Master Lin Qishan passed away, I was present throughout the process, so the circumstances of this grief may be different, but the degree should not be much different.
After arriving home, we did not drill into the hole to place the wax-skin beads as usual. Instead, we gave the beads to Qin Bukong and let him rest first. After closing the door to the back room, Songzi and I looked at each other. Not long after, we heard a deliberately suppressed cry coming from the back room.
We did nothing for the rest of the day. After Songzi made dinner, I went to buy a jug of wine, intending to drink some wine with Qin Bukong, but no matter how hard we knocked on the door, he refused. When he came out, he just told us: Just eat, I'm not hungry.
It was like this until noon the next day, when we knocked on the door, Qin Bukong still said that he was unwilling to come out, but since he replied, it proved that there was nothing wrong with his body, so Songzi and I could only worry. On the night of the second day, Songzi once again cooked dinner and knocked on the door to ask Qin Bukong to come for dinner. Qin Bukong still said feebly that he would not eat. Now I couldn't bear it. As the saying goes, people are like iron rice. It's Gang. Qin Bukong is old and has a slow metabolism. I can understand this, but he won't go without eating for two days and two nights! Is this going to become an immortal? Although I know that Qin Bukong's loneliness is due to the loss of an old friend like Gan Mu, it is still not advisable to destroy yourself like this. Does it mean that if he skips meals tomorrow or the day after tomorrow because of his mood, will he starve himself to death?
I'm not as feminine as Songzi, which means I'm not as calm as him when encountering such a situation. So I pulled Songzi aside who was knocking on the door, then took two steps back, and kicked the door open with a bang. The problem was that it wasn't until I kicked it open that I realized the door wasn't locked at all. My move startled Songzi and let out his usual signature scream, but Qin Bukong, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, was not frightened by me. He just looked at me blankly. I walked up to him and said to Qin Bukong, what are you doing? Do you want to go on a hunger strike and die for love?
Qin Bukong didn't speak, just shook his head and lowered his head. I became even more angry when I saw it, so I shouted to Qin Bukong, I really don't understand that you are so old, is it necessary to feel so sorry for yourself? What is past is past, and people always have to look forward. Look at your appearance now, and everyone will be pissed off by you!
While I was scolding Qin Bukong, Songzi pulled me to stop talking. The more I talked, the more angry I became, so I continued, "None of us are willing to die for Ganmu. Think about the time you cut off his tail." Why don't you frown once? It's fine now, it's gone. Who did you show this look to? If you stay in bed without eating or drinking water, why don't you poop on the bed?
Qin Bukong then spoke, but didn't you say that? Gan Mu's death was all because of me...
Qin Bukong's understatement made me speechless for a moment. Looking back, I did say such a thing, but at the time I was in anger, and I spoke more or less unscrupulously. If the responsibility must be investigated, Gan Mu would not care about his own life at that time. When the ground rushed up, it was not only to save Qin Bukong, but also to help me. In this way, I became one of the people who killed it.
When I thought of this, I lowered my tone and said to Qin Bukong, you must know that Gan Mu's death was not in vain, and we did not have revenge. If it is alive now, I don't want to see you so decadent. look like. Even if you don't plan for yourself, you should still comfort Ganmu who died to save you. The best way to comfort yourself is to cheer up again. We still have two more levels to go through!
I changed the topic from emotions to reality, and I knew in my heart that Qin Bukong had already thought about this reality many times in the past two days. He looked at me blankly, then at the pine nuts, and then turned to look at the shelf where Ganmu was habitually placed. After a long time, he sighed and said, OK, sooner or later I will see my old buddy again. , let it wait for me first!
When Qin Bukong said this, his voice was a little jerky, as if he hadn't drank water for a long time. But I was quite relieved to hear his words. So he said to Songzi, go get him a glass of water. If he really doesn't want to get out of bed, we can bring the food in and eat it with him!
In fact, I know that the companionship of his companions at this moment is equally important to Qin Bukong. At least he doesn't have to continue to think about Gan Mu's death when no one is around, and continue to blame himself. So Songzi and I brought the food into the house and ate it with Qin Bukong. Qin Bukong hadn't eaten for two days. He knew he was very hungry, but he still looked like he couldn't eat. During the meal, Songzi and I chatted with Qin Bukong. I even drank a few glasses of wine with him that I had not had time to open the bottle yesterday.
I don’t like drinking very much, so after a few drinks, I started to get a little tipsy, but I wasn’t drunk. However, Qin Bukong became more energetic because of drinking. After dinner, he suggested that we were already delayed. Two days, or let's put the wax skin beads in now.
In my heart, I wanted to ridicule you for knowing that you were delayed for two days, but I held back. I was afraid that if I said this because of my bad mouth, it would touch Qin Bukong's heart again. So Songzi and I started to clean up the dishes quickly, and then we pulled out the bed with Qin Bukong and walked along the tunnel to the center of the array. On the way, I asked Songzi if he had any idea about the next level we were about to face. Songzi said that according to Lu Zu's writings, "The mandrill is infinitely changeable, the mandrill is unparalleled in its fierceness, and the leader is unattainable." This "mandrill" is endlessly changeable. We must all have experienced it. It really has endless changes. This shows that the words left by Lu Zu at that time have been confirmed. In the same way, "Ba is so fierce and fierce that he is unparalleled" should be saying that this guy is extremely ferocious, even to the point of being unparalleled in the world. From this, it can be seen that the authenticity of this sentence should be quite high.
I am the biggest victim in the "Mandrill" level. The injuries on my body are enough to illustrate this problem. Four of the seven levels have been broken. It stands to reason that we should have foreseen the dawn of victory early, but at this moment I feel extremely difficult. I attributed all this to the fact that I was not able to get the Vajra Prong in Qin Bukong's hand in time, which delayed the fight. So I secretly decided that when I broke through the barrier, the Vajra Prong that restrained the opponent must be in my hands. Only in your hands.
Songzi went on to say that according to records in ancient books, Ba is a kind of drought monster. Its appearance is always accompanied by heat and drought. Its true form is actually a person, but this person is a dead body rather than a living person, so to put it simply, Ba is a great corpse king who comes with drought and heat.
The name "Zombie King" was one of the ways to call the living dead who had practiced spiritual practice in that era. Later, this way of calling them became "zombie". When I was tested by Qin Bukong, I fought some living dead in the hospital morgue, and my skills at that time were more than one level worse than now, so I fully thought that this time the corpse Wang is just a little more difficult and more ferocious than the previous guys. It's not that there are no methods of restraint. Songzi went on to say, but the ancient books also recorded that the so-called demon is actually a kind of woman, especially one who transformed from an adulterer. If you put it this way, what we need to face is a female corpse king.
Listening to what he said, it seems to make sense, but whether it is actually the case, we can only wait and see. After Jiang Wapi ball was put into the stone bricks and stuffed into the center stone pillar, the "郃" stone brick popped out, and the four words on it were "Xian Weng Hua Hu". Literally understood, it seems to be saying that a god drew something called a "swan".
Songzi said that the word "鄄" here should be an ancient word. This animal originally referred to a swan, but do you still remember that when we first started to break through the "霑" pass, the Shadowless Tower was built because of the construction of the bridge? The position was moved due to the relationship. The original base we finally found is located on "Huang Huji" under the bridge pier, so the "Hu" here should be the same place as the ancient pronunciation of "Huang Hu". After I heard what Songzi said, I asked, according to your opinion, the guardian ghost of "郃" level should be the same as "魑"?
Songzi nodded and said, it should be said that the location is the same, but the guarding ghost of Zhen has actually followed us home from the beginning, so where is the real location of the guarding ghost during this period? In fact, it is not good distinguish. Besides, as you saw that day, the stone beams in Huanghuji were actually very large. It was completely reasonable to bury two stone boxes in such a large area.
I said to Songzi, so you mean that before the bridge was built, there was actually a thousand-year-old monument in that place, just like the original Shadowless Tower, right? Songzi said yes. Did I say that this place no longer exists? But Songzi shook his head and said that was not the case, it was just like the Shadowless Tower, it had been moved. Before the bridge was built, the building that once existed here was the world-famous Yellow Crane Tower.
