Although I knew it was a dream just now, this sudden switch between dream and reality still makes people feel a little dazed.
I shook my head.
Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
Only then did he wake up completely.
Looking outside the window, the sky is already slightly brighter, and there is light mist lingering among the grass and trees.
It looked like it was going to be dawn soon.
call……
I took a deep breath and thought to myself.
"Okay, okay, now I finally understand the female corpse's request."
In this way, the [yin contract] reached can be completed easily.
Otherwise, if you don’t even know what the other party wants, it would be like a blind man trying to feel an elephant.
But according to Master, this kind of deal between humans and ghosts (corpse, demon), as long as one party does not put forward specific time requirements.
So as long as you keep it in mind and do it step by step, it will be fine.
There is no need to be in such a hurry to catch up with time, and of course you cannot deliberately delay the "moyanggong" - which means deliberately not putting in effort in Sichuan and Chongqing dialects.
After getting up, I went to the yard to practice boxing and kicking as usual.
After sweating all over, I washed my face again and continued to familiarize myself with reciting the two great Feng Shui books, "The House Sutra" and "The Burial Sutra".
After finishing these two things, it's time to have breakfast.
Weekend days are just comfortable!
I can see my parents and stay with Master for a long time.
Although Master often held a small bamboo pole in her hand to scare me, saying that I would be beaten if I was not serious or could not learn well.
But in fact, it has never actually been fought.
And she is so good-looking, even if she scares me, I won't be afraid...
Of course, you would never dare to say these words!
Otherwise, I might really get beaten by Master.
Weekends always fly by.
After lunch on Sunday, I set off to Two Rivers Town again.
When we arrived at Lao Cao's coffin shop, we could see him in the corner of the shop, busy making a new coffin.
I took a look from a distance and discovered it.
Oops!
Good guy, it's actually made of huanghuali wood.
It’s valuable.
Using huanghuali wood to make a coffin is really luxurious.
"Old Cao, I'm back."
As I spoke, I successfully crossed the threshold and walked into the coffin shop.
He raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile.
"You're back, Xiao Wu? Sit down and rest quickly. Tell me, you asked Xiangu about the corpse pill. What did you say? Uh... wait! You? You!"
Lao Cao's expression suddenly changed.
His eyes stared straight at me, looking very surprised.
It shocked me.
"What's wrong with you, Lao Cao?"
He dropped all the coffin-making tools in his hand, ran over and grabbed my wrist, and then felt it carefully.
Staring at me like I saw a ghost, asking me.
"Xiao Wu, what elixir did you take? In just one weekend and two days, the Qi in your body... was at least twice as strong. Your strength should have been greatly improved. How did you do it?"
Seeing Lao Cao's shocked look, I felt quite proud.
Then he said with a smile: "I didn't take any elixir, I just took the corpse pill."
Unexpectedly, Lao Cao was even more surprised when he said these words.
His eyes nearly popped out of his head, and he couldn't help but curse.
"Oh my God! Corpse Pill? Can that thing be eaten?"
But soon he calmed down again, and seemed to be talking to himself or to me: "Yes, you are the apprentice of the fairy. The fairy is very knowledgeable, and maybe she can actually make people stronger by taking corpse pills." One’s own Qi.”
Well, my master’s little fanboy...oh no, it’s the old fanboy who’s online again.
I asked Lao Cao to calm down, and then we moved to a small bench and sat down together, and recounted what happened over the weekend - including Master's description of the Corpse Pill, and how he asked me to absorb the power contained in it, as well as my dream with the female corpse. All kinds of [yin contract]...
Everything was told to Lao Cao.
After listening to it, he felt mixed emotions. Said in a faint tone.
"Xiao Wu, your strength has greatly increased, which is a good thing. Originally, after three months of practicing with the fairy, you are already much stronger than three years of practicing with an ordinary person."
"In addition, by chance, you got most of the power of this top-level ferocious corpse. Then you absorbed it into your body and integrated it into your own Qi. Now you are probably comparable to most people in Xuanmen who have practiced for seven or eight years. .”
"The future is really promising. But..."
Lao Cao changed the subject and looked a little worried again.
"I feel that the dark pact reached with the evil corpse may not be so easy to complete. Especially since you also said that you suspect that the evil corpse is actually a victim in the first place, and there is an invisible black hand controlling it behind the scenes."
I nodded and sighed softly.
In fact, I don’t know that this matter is very dangerous!
But the matter has come to this, and the benefits given by others have been accepted in advance, so naturally I have to help with things.
There was silence for a while.
I laughed again, slapped my thigh suddenly, and said: "What a fool! I'm afraid of a ball. A man must go through ups and downs and adventures in order to grow up. I will solve this female corpse's conspiracy, and Let Master see what I am capable of."
good!
Lao Cao also smiled and clapped his hands: "You are ambitious. If you need my help, just ask. Anyway, we have been friends for years. If Xiao Wu has difficulties, I will follow him."
I have to say that Lao Cao’s statement moved me a little.
In fact, this matter is my personal private matter, and it may be very dangerous.
Lao Cao had no obligation to get involved.
After all, in the beginning, Master just let me live with him and have a place to sleep at night.
As for helping him make his coffin and participating in carrying the coffin, that was part of what I wanted to learn.
Because I also need to master the skills of a coffin bearer and a coffin maker!
Therefore, I benefited from carrying the coffin.
"Thank you, Lao Cao."
I said it sincerely.
"But at the moment, it seems that there is nothing special that I need your help with. I thought about it, that is, I will go to the home of the female body when she was alive and visit her parents. Then I will learn more about the specific information about her life. Let’s start the investigation. There’s no rush anyway, just take your time.”
Lao Cao saw that I already had an idea, so he didn't say anything more.
Of course, I'm not that pedantic.
I don't want Lao Cao to get involved in my personal [Dark Pact], but if I really encounter danger, I will definitely give in and ask him to help quickly.
After all, your life is the most important!
After we finished chatting about the Corpse Pill and Yin Yue, I looked at the semi-finished huanghuali wood coffin placed in Lao Cao's house, and suggested that I help make it, as a starting point?
It can be considered that he is familiar with the skills of a coffin bearer.
But Lao Cao smiled and waved his hand: "No need, this is hard work, and it doesn't have much technical content. Don't you still want to visit the parents of the mysterious female corpse? It's best to go before dawn."
"Okay, that's fine too."
I nodded.
However, Lao Cao chuckled, rubbed his hands and said, "But before that, are you interested in giving me a try and a battle of wits?"
What? !
I was shocked.
Then he shook his head vigorously: "Old Cao, what are you talking about? I'm going to fight with you? How is that possible? You can knock me down with just one hand."
I feel a little speechless.
