Chapter 42
When Secretary Jin sang this song on the stage yesterday, his Cantonese was standard and the singing was professional, but the boy didn't like it very much.
Although Secretary Jin's Cantonese is not standard at the moment, the feeling when singing it is like a river opening its gates and flowing into a dug canal, letting it take its course.
Singing is indeed a magical thing. Not only can you hear it with your face covered, but you can also hear it if your skin is changed.
When Secretary Jin put her hands on her shoulders, the familiar feeling told Li Zhuiyuan who she was now.
In the same way, if nothing unexpected happens, the real creator of the horrific and bloody scene last night should be the existence under the human skin of Ding Dalin.
It is the real dominant position here.
This means that the crisis here has not been resolved, because the little yellow warbler has only a secondary position beside it.
That group of water monkeys dug it out... it should be it.
Li Zhuiyuan suddenly discovered that he, Xiao Huang Ying and the water monkeys in the original plan had all become supporting characters. No, they were not as good as supporting characters. They were purely background.
Whether I and my grandpa can keep this skin now depends on its intentions.
Therefore, the current song and previous actions are all hints given to herself by the little yellow warbler.
For a moment, the guard that had been slightly relaxed due to the appearance of the little yellow warbler was severely raised again.
Li Zhuiyuan suddenly realized one thing. Since "it" last night could control Secretary Jin's lantern language to trick the six water monkeys from the peripheral observation post into coming and skinning them collectively, how could it not have noticed that it was on the roof? Himself and Runsheng?
Is it really because he and Runsheng were able to escape home with their skin and tail intact because they ran fast?
The Water Monkeys are all outsiders except Ding Dalin, and the only person Ding Dalin knows in this village who has already established a connection and bought a house in his name is Li Sanjiang.
If it wants to fill in the fish pond and plant peach trees on this contracted land, it needs to pass through Li Sanjiang.
It turns out that the person who has been struggling to keep the situation from collapsing is still his own grandfather.
Secretary Kim finished singing.
Li Zhuiyuan took the lead in applauding, and Tan Wenbin also applauded when he saw this, and praised several times in a row, "Okay, okay!"
Li Sanjiang reached out and touched this set of speakers and said, "Okay, it's pretty good. When I ask the mule to come get the tables, chairs, dishes, and chopsticks later, I'll take this thing back too."
"Haha, as long as you are satisfied."
Li Zhuiyuan asked with a simple face: "Uncle Ding, how much is this?"
Li Sanjiang frowned slightly. This was originally a matter of taking advantage of him. He took it back by himself. He asked how much it cost. Is this kid stupid?
But then, Li Sanjiang's brows relaxed again: That's great. This kid's honest and kind-hearted character is indeed different from those white-eyed wolves.
Li Zhuiyuan asked deliberately. After experiencing so many things, he had vaguely touched the law of "karma and fate", especially when dealing with people under the other shadow side. Its things are not so easy to get.
It’s better to listen to the other party’s request first.
"Yes, Marquis Lin, how much did it cost you to buy it from the troupe? Come on, I'll give it to you. I can use this thing. I'll get my money back after renting it for half a year."
"It hurts our feelings to talk about this."
Li Sanjiang hugged Ding Dalin's arm and shook it hard: "Okay, I misjudged you when you first came back. You, Marquis Lin, are indeed a kind person. I am not as good as you."
When they first met, Li Sanjiang felt that Ding Dalin was deliberately trying to show off.
But since they also provided a house, land, and speakers, it’s hard not to change this perception. After all, they gave too much.
"Actually, Marquis Sanjiang, I also want to ask your help for something."
Seeing someone climbing up the stick, Li Sanjiang subconsciously picked up his ears with his little finger:
"It's easy to talk to. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."
Li Zhuiyuan asked: "Uncle Ding, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly now."
But he couldn't follow his grandfather's tone and delay it until later. Because if he couldn't fulfill his request, his grandson and grandson would probably have no future.
Li Sanjiang pursed his lips. He couldn't be angry with Xiao Yuanhou, so he could only follow the child's words and echo: "Yes, Linhou, you say."
"Sanjiang Marquis, it's like this. I originally planned to stay here for a long time, but there is news from over there. Something happened, and I have to go back and deal with it.
So I have to ask you to take care of this house for me. ”
"Are you still going? How long will you go?"
"It's hard to say. If things go well, I may be able to come back in half a year. If not, I may leave at any time at my age. I don't know, I will never come back."
"Then you have to come back alive as soon as possible."
"Why, you can't bear to leave me?"
"It's not that you are reluctant to part with it. You bought so many things in my name. If you never come back, I would be too embarrassed to pick them up."
"I want to come back. I really want to spend my remaining years here."
"I really want to bid you farewell. If I leave first, at worst, Marquis Xiao Yuan will come and do it for you, otherwise you won't feel at ease with this thing."
"Sanjiang Hou, when the village contract is finalized, I will pay the contract fee first and leave a sum of money. You can help me organize people first to level the fish pond and plant peach trees. This will not Delay things.”
Li Sanjiang rubbed his forehead. Planting trees is a tiring job.
This is not a simple matter of money. As the owner, you also need to work hard.
"Okay, Grandpa Ding, don't worry, just go and do some errands. When you come back, you can enjoy the peach blossoms."
Li Sanjiang nodded: "Don't worry, Marquis Lin, I will take over this matter."
It's not that he was coerced by his great-grandson, but he was short-handed. Li Sanjiang also knew that once someone opened his mouth, he couldn't refuse. He was not willing to give back the house and land in his name.
Li Zhuiyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was not afraid that it would make a request, but that it would not ask.
If you just plant trees, it's nothing. Besides, the people and land are rented, and the money will be retained.
"That's good, thank you, Marquis Sanjiang."
"Look at you, thank you no matter what, you should be grateful. Then you are so... strong."
"Hey."
"Run back and call Marquis Runsheng and ask him to push the cart and put everything back."
Tan Wenbin looked at Li Zhuiyuan and Li Sanjiang with some worry. He didn't want to leave. Although he was not as good at fighting as his father, when facing the water monkey, more people have more power, right?
"Brother Binbin, go home and ask Brother Runsheng to come over and move things."
Nearly twenty water monkeys met that fate last night. In this situation, one more person is just one more shrimp to peel.
"Hey, okay."
Binbin left.
"Xiao Yuanhou, I have discovered that even if the mule at home listens to you, why does this Zhuangzhuang listen to you?"
"Ah, is there any?" Li Zhuiyuan looked confused.
"Hey, that's good." Li Sanjiang patted the boy's head, "This shows that my Xiao Yuanhou is born to be a leader."
The will has been made, and the grandfather's view of his great-grandson has changed from being very partial to being extremely partial.
Ding Dalin said: "This shows that children have organizational skills and are indeed suitable to be officials."
Li Sanjiang lifted up his trousers: "Marquis Lin, is there any paper in the porcelain jar?"
"There's some in the basket."
"Then I'll get a porcelain vat."
Li Zhuiyuan wanted to follow, but as soon as he took two steps, Ding Dalin called out: "Xiaoyuan."
After hesitating for a while, not daring to pretend not to hear and get away with it, he still stopped.
"Ah?" Li Zhuiyuan faced Ding Dalin, "What's wrong, Grandpa Ding?"
"Your grandfather did not misjudge you. You are indeed a warm-hearted and good boy."
Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and showed a shy smile.
The reason why he didn't reveal his best shy look was because the skin between Ding Dalin's eyebrows was cracked.
It's very much like the clothes have been torn. It's not completely torn, but there are gaps in the color.
This show is about to come to an end, and I have to avoid performance accidents.
Ding Dalin reached out and touched the center of his eyebrows. Secretary Jin came over and wanted to help, but he ordered: "Bring me a basin of water. I'll wash my face well."
"Okay."
Secretary Jin brought a basin of hot water and a towel hung on the side of the basin. She just stood there holding it, acting as a human platform.
Ding Dalin walked to the basin, bent down, turned his face down, and tapped his fingers back and forth on his face.
This scene is very similar to a city woman holding a makeup box and touching up her makeup in the mirror.
Li Zhuiyuan wanted to leave the room, but Secretary Jin's position happened to block the door. Therefore, in order to prevent himself from seeing things he shouldn't see, Li Zhuiyuan turned to face the stereo and reached out to touch the cover.
"Xiaoyuan, have you just learned the local dialect?"
"Well, yes, it's not very good." Li Zhuiyuan picked up the microphone and played with it.
“Where did you live before?”
"In Beijing." Li Zhuiyuan said into the microphone, "Huhu... hello."
"Jiankang?"
The boy's hand holding the microphone shook.
Jiankang?
Li Zhuiyuan knew that Jiankang was the ancient name of Nanjing and the capital of the Six Dynasties.
Soochow, Eastern Jin, Liu Song, Southern Qi, Nanliang, Nanchen...
So, what period is it from?
"Oh, he's from Beijing. Haha, I didn't react just now. I heard something wrong."
Ding Dalin laughed, as if he had revealed his mistake just now.
Li Zhuiyuan's heart was very complicated. Even for people from the Nanchen period, it was almost 1,500 years ago.
Does that also mean that the tomb in the fish pond also has so many years of history?
I don’t know if those water monkeys were lucky or unlucky to have found such an excellent water burial tomb.
However, it seems that I am more unfortunate. I have just picked up the book and read it not long ago, and I am in the stage of reading, learning and practicing.
In popular martial arts novels and martial arts movies, the protagonists all practice hard training behind closed doors, and the first people they meet when they come down from the mountain are ruffians who molest the women of the country.
When I got here, I hadn't learned how to go down the mountain yet, so I just gently opened the door of my house to bask in the sun: Hey, the opposite door is Dongchang.
"Xiaoyuan, you promised grandpa that you would help grandpa plant peach trees."
"Yes, I will."
"Speak louder, grandpa is deaf."
"Don't worry, Grandpa."
"Turn around and say to Grandpa."
Li Zhuiyuan turned around.
Facing him was a shameless and red face!
After a moment of shock and thought, Li Zhuiyuan raised his hands, opened his mouth, and was about to scream, when this face suddenly appeared in front of him:
"Xiao Yuan, you are a step too slow."
Li Zhuiyuan's expression was stagnant, and he stopped mid-raise. His mouth was open, but he did not dare to scream.
"Xiaoyuan, were you thinking just now, should you scream in fear?"
Li Zhuiyuan didn't know how to answer.
"You kid, why don't you seem to recognize me?"
A similar sentence was said by Ding Dalin when I met Ding Dalin when I walked with my grandfather this morning.
It did indeed see itself and Brother Runsheng on the roof last night.
"I can help you plant trees."
"Hehehe..."
Its hand touched the boy's face and patted it gently.
"You acted so well that I can't tell the difference between you and me. Who is the one wearing human skin?"
……
"Dee!——"
The sound of electric current woke Li Zhuiyuan up. He lowered his head and looked at the microphone in his hand.
"Xiao Yuan, turn off the microphone. Grandpa's ears hurt."
Li Zhuiyuan turned off the microphone and the sound of electricity disappeared. He turned around and looked at Ding Dalin.
Ding Dalin raised his head and put a hot towel on his face, completely covering his face.
His voice came from under the towel:
"Xiaoyuan, have you just learned the local dialect?"
Same problem.
Li Zhuiyuan wondered, was the scene just now his hallucination?
"Well, I just learned it."
“Where did you live before?”
"Youzhou."
"Hehehe..."
Ding Dalin laughed and took off the towel on his face, revealing a normal person's slightly rosy face after applying heat.
"What a smart boy."
Ding Dalin walked up to Li Zhuiyuan, and his hand touched the boy's face again.
"Grandpa, I like you very much."
"I also like the red envelopes and gifts my grandpa gave me."
Ding Dalin's hand moved down, grabbed the boy's right hand, and spread it open.
There was a burn mark and five bloody scabs on the palm of Li Zhuiyuan's right hand.
Ding Dalin ignored the five blood scabs, put his fingertips on the burn marks, and pretended to be surprised:
"Look, your skin is almost burned?"
"I was just playful and I accidentally did it."
"You have to be careful. It's hard to repair a broken skin. Even if you find a new one, it's not as good as the original one. Don't you think so?"
"Well, grandpa is right."
Ding Dalin smiled, raised his left hand, and slowly made a fist.
At first, Ah Li could tell that the burns were caused by Li Zhuiyuan's self-inflicted wounds, let alone this?
But Li Zhuiyuan couldn't figure out its temper at all now. Logically speaking, he had already persuaded his master to agree to help him plant trees, and the matter should have come to an end.
But it seems that it still wants to continue to have some intersection with itself.
Li Zhuiyuan began to envy Tan Wenbin. Sometimes he knew too much and it was meaningless. It was better to be confused and feel better.
Suddenly, severe pain came.
Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head and saw that the healed burn scar on his palm had re-opened, and the skin and flesh on his palm had burst.
His heartbeat began to accelerate, and the feeling of watching his skin and flesh split open was too terrifying.
It seemed that the next moment, it would spread out, the whole skin would be peeled off, and he would walk out bloody.
Li Zhuiyuan looked at Secretary Jin from the corner of his eye. She was still standing there holding the washbasin, motionless and not looking here.
Ding Dalin stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his eyes showing struggle.
Immediately, his neck began to turn to the right and left, and the expression on his face continued to change, from kind to calm to gloomy to greedy.
Finally,
He raised his head suddenly:
"Beast, I suffered so much from being deceived by you."
……
"Boom!"
The microphone fell to the ground.
Li Zhuiyuan swallowed, turned around and saw Ding Dalin washing his face.
I saw him scooping up water with both hands and patting it on his face, then rubbing his face, and finally wiping it with a towel.
The third time.
But this time, Ding Dalin didn't ask him about his accent again, and he didn't speak.
The door was pushed open and hit Secretary Jin's back.
The door bounced back, but Secretary Jin didn't move at all.
"Huh?"
Li Sanjiang's voice came from outside the door.
Li Zhuiyuan knew that those few times just now were not hallucinations, because the speed at which the master went to the big room could not be so fast. For a period of time, it was indeed misappropriated.
Secretary Jin moved away, the door was opened, and Li Sanjiang said to Ding Dalin: "My mule is here, so I will load the things first."
"Okay."
Li Sanjiang turned around and went out again without calling Li Zhuiyuan to come out. He was not willing to let Xiao Yuanhou work.
This caused Li Zhuiyuan to be left in the room again.
However,
"Bang!"
The door was opened again, this time with great force. Runsheng stood at the door with a stern face, holding a shovel in his hand.
It can be seen that he is very scared, and his tight face is his protective color.
But he still came, he wanted to save people.
"What's wrong with you?" came Li Sanjiang's voice, "Move the tables and chairs first, then the speakers last."
Runsheng looked at Li Zhuiyuan. He was waiting for a look. As long as the look was right, he would pick up the shovel and slash at the two people in front of him without hesitation.
In short, either their flesh is exposed or their skin is opened.
Ding Dalin stretched out his hand to Li Zhuiyuan: "Come, follow me to the second floor. I have some snacks brought back from abroad in my room. Please take them away for you."
In fact, there is no choice at all.
Li Zhuiyuan grabbed Ding Dalin's hand, and the two of them walked past Runsheng and walked up the stairs, one after the other.
Downstairs, Runsheng was slapped on the back of the head by Li Sanjiang, and he scolded: "What are you doing standing still? Xiao Yuanhou went to get his things, you should also do your job and move things!"
Runsheng was very torn, but since it was Xiaoyuan's choice, he put down the shovel and started to move the tables and chairs.
However, the courage he mustered up before could not last forever. The scene from last night began to replay in his mind, and his body began to tremble as he moved it.
Seeing this, Li Sanjiang hurriedly came over and asked:
"Are you not feeling well yet?"
"Huh?"
"Forget it, just sit there and rest, I'll move it."
When they arrived on the second floor, Ding Dalin still held his hand. Li Zhuiyuan felt that his hand was sticky. He was afraid that when he let go later, he would tear off a piece of the other person's skin.
This is indeed the case.
When he walked into the room, Ding Dalin took the initiative to let go of his hand, and his skin just stuck to the boy's hand. With the pulling, it gradually stretched, and finally...
"Crack!"
The sound was so loud that Li Zhuiyuan was shocked and lost consciousness. When he recovered, he found that the room was dark and it was dark.
All the furnishings in the room were there, but Ding Dalin was missing.
Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes and tried to find that feeling of floating up. He found it and felt himself starting to float.
He opened his eyes immediately, interrupting the awakening.
Yes, he went into hiding, but he didn't do it on his own initiative. He was dragged in by Ding Dalin.
In this case, it would be a bit embarrassing for him to wake up now.
After walking out of the room and onto the balcony, Li Zhuiyuan wanted to find Ding Dalin. Since he pulled him in, he must have his purpose.
In the dark night sky, there is a moon hanging. The moon is a little big, and you can even see the craters on it.
Li Zhuiyuan looked down and landed on the ground in front of him, then blinked hard.
The fish pond that was originally restored in reality has now returned to what it looked like after the water monkeys were busy last night. The water was drained and deep pits were dug.
He probably knew where to find Ding Dalin.
Walking downstairs, the scene downstairs was still the same as last night after the banquet ended. The tabletops were all there and had not been cleared away.
When walking out of the hall, Li Zhuiyuan stopped first, then took two steps back and raised his head.
He saw the little oriole hanging on the top of the hall.
Because her long hair hangs down, you can only see her face through the long hair when you walk to that specific narrow area.
She closed her eyes and looked indifferent.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't know if she had been hiding here since last night, or if she was here now.
The little yellow warbler didn't open her eyes or give any reaction.
Li Zhuiyuan stopped staying, walked out of the hall, got off the dam, jumped down from the fish pond, and came to the edge of the pit.
Only when you look closely can you feel how deep the pit is. Li Zhuiyuan turned around and looked behind him at the roof of Big Beard's house, where he hid and observed last night.
He bent down and carefully slid down the slope of the pit. He slid for a long distance before landing at the bottom.
In front of him was a dug-out spire.
The black mouth was just open.
Li Zhuiyuan grabbed the wall and walked slowly inside. As he moved forward, lights lit up. Because the tower was tilted, the lights inside also looked tilted.
There are no murals on the surrounding walls, which looks very monotonous. It seems that the owner of the tomb does not intend to continue cultivating his sentiments in the underground world after death.
In other words, this tomb was built when the owner of the tomb was alive, because if it was built by someone else, some words and pictures would inevitably be left to describe his life.
Thanks to the tilt of the tower, there was a place to walk. If you walked in from above vertically, it would be no different from jumping into a well.
The farther inside, the cooler the light color becomes, gradually changing from the bright yellow on the outermost section to green.
Finally, Li Zhuiyuan reached the bottom.
He saw a huge sarcophagus. The sarcophagus was fixed at the bottom of the tower. Now it looked like it was attached to the wall.
There are some furniture around the sarcophagus. They are all fixed like the coffin, so they are not scattered. They are not only inlaid with gold and silver, but also have the brilliance of jade and jewelry flowing around.
They are all good things. No wonder the two water monkeys who went down last night were so excited when they came up. I also understood that they came up empty-handed and said they couldn't move it.
However, after all was said and done, Ding Dalin was still nowhere to be seen.
Li Zhuiyuan's eyes fell on the sarcophagus again,
Could it be that he is still in the coffin?
There are chains tied to the sarcophagus, and runes are painted around the coffin, which is in line with the characteristics of a temple tomb and can ward off evil spirits.
"Crashing... crashing... crashing..."
The chain began to tremble, and something inside seemed to want to come out.
Li Zhuiyuan stood there without moving. Although he didn't know whether opening the coffin during the yin period would have some knock-on effects on reality, he would not take the risk.
It's not that I'm worried about my own safety, but this is Siyuan Village after all, and God knows what the consequences will be if the contents of this coffin are released.
I came here step by step because of threats to my life, but even if I was threatened again, I would not open the coffin.
However, soon there will be no need to worry.
Because with a crisp sound, all the chains on the sarcophagus fell off.
Then a dull friction sound came, and the sarcophagus lid slowly slid out.
There is no need for help at all, it can come out by itself.
Li Zhuiyuan held his breath and concentrated on waiting for the person in the coffin to sit up.
But after waiting for a while, it didn't do so.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
Gradually, the wind began to rise in the tower. It was very weak at first, just swaying the lights, and then the wind became stronger and stronger, forming a roar in the tower.
The whistling sound gradually became more delicate, and finally it became a human voice, very hoarse, like an old-fashioned and poorly maintained gramophone.
"Aren't you curious?"
Li Zhuiyuan replied: "I'm very curious."
"Then why don't you dare to come closer?"
"I'm scared."
"Are you afraid?"
"Yes, fear is an instinct, just like pain."
"Let's open our skin and speak frankly."
"What does this mean?"
"Take off this skin from your body, I don't want to talk to a child."
"No, I am who I am, and I am who I am now."
"Haha, some people's skin is on their bodies, while some people's skin is in their hearts."
Li Zhuiyuan knew that the other party was mocking him, but he didn't care. All his efforts were to keep this skin, not only for himself but also for Ah Li.
"Even if you don't want to peel off the skin, don't talk to me like a child."
"I'm just a child, okay, I'll try my best."
"Do you know where this is?"
"A kind of... temple tomb."
"Yes, Temple Tomb. Then do you know who suppressed me here?"
"It's you."
The sound of the wind seemed to stop for a moment.
But soon, it started roaring again and formed words:
"You guessed it?"
"I don't even know who you are or when you were born. Since you asked me this question, the answer should be within my range of choices, and you are the only one left."
"You really look like a person. When he was a child, he was just like you, incredibly smart."
"Can you tell me his name?" Li Zhuiyuan asked tentatively, "That way, I can look him up when I plant trees in the future."
"You can't find his name."
"Oh."
"He's a beast."
"Did he lie to you?"
"It's me, I believe in him too much. Although he and I are almost the same age, I have always followed his example. I am to him just like the two people around you are to you."
Li Zhuiyuan knew that the two people it was talking about were Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, because it only had these limited options.
"It's really infuriating to be deceived by someone you trust."
"He not only deceived me, he deceived all of us, those of us who follow him."
"He's so hateful."
"He is just like you, very good at pretending."
Li Zhuiyuan worked hard to calm down his emotions. The biggest harm to the mental patient was to remind him of his illness over and over again.
The current conversation with the man in the sarcophagus made the boy seem to have returned to the scene when he was on the phone with Li Lan that night.
"Disguise is your instinct, you seem to be born with it."
"Do you have any explanation?"
Li Zhuiyuan took the initiative to interrupt the topic and continued talking about it. He was worried that his cold emotions would be seduced.
"Fill in the fish pond and plant peach trees."
"Don't worry, we will do it."
"Actually, I should have left long ago."
"Where to go?"
"You can guess it, but you still ask. Sure enough, just like him, hypocrisy is your instinct."
"Can you please stop describing him in detail, or don't tie him and me together? I am afraid of death, so I followed your wishes and came here."
"Then what?"
"But there are some things that I would rather die than give up."
"He also said..."
The wind stopped again.
After a long time, the wind came again.
"Okay."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I originally planned to call you here and bury you with me."
"Thank you for your original message."
Seeing the other party, he stopped talking again, but the sound of wind was still there.
For the sake of "original", Li Zhuiyuan took the initiative to say:
"How did he lie to you?"
"He taught me a way to control death."
Li Zhuiyuan was shocked. In the books he had read, there were countless ways to deal with death, but there was no mention of how to control death.
"I am very happy and excited. I am so convinced and respect him, so I learned."
"Then, have you finished your studies?"
The wind continued to blow, and at this time, there was movement inside the sarcophagus.
A man sat up from the coffin.
Because the coffin was suspended on the base, the man at this time was facing Li Zhuiyuan.
He has long hair, a cold face, and an elegant temperament.
However, he closed his eyes, and the next sound still came through the wind instead of speaking by himself.
"I've learned it, and I can control death."
"Then how did he lie to you?"
"Where did you lie to me?"
The man turned his head sideways, and the wind blew up his temples. Inside, a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth were revealed, a human face.
The man turned sideways, exposing his back. The wind blew his long hair, and on the back of his head was another woman's face.
It's a very captivating picture. Such a handsome man has so many faces.
No, Li Zhuiyuan realized that he was walking in the shadows, so what he saw was not necessarily real. Then these faces that were now materialized might refer to the man's heart.
"Huhuhu..."
The wind noise further increased, and the robe on the man's body was blown up. Wherever the skin was exposed, including the arms and chest, there were densely packed human faces.
Li Zhuiyuan subconsciously took two steps back. Seeing this scene, he already felt itchy on his body.
Unconsciously, he glanced down at his arms, fearing that he might also see a strange face at this time.
"He didn't tell me that while I could control them, they could also control me."
Li Zhuiyuan looked away. After the wind quieted down, he looked back.
The man returned to his original posture, and his clothes and hair fell down.
"He said that we must eliminate evil spirits in the world and restore peace to the world.
I believed in him and followed him, but the result was that the more dead ends I solved, the more and more I became like a dead end.
When I realized this, there was no turning back.
So, I built this tower and I sealed myself.
I plan to use my time to wear them to death while also wearing myself to death.
The ones you just saw had their eyes closed. In fact, they should all have their eyes open, crying, roaring, roaring, and whining every day...
Now, they're gone and I've made it.
Originally, in a few years, I should be able to grind myself to death.
But who knew, a group of monkeys came. ”
"So, you want to fill this place and plant peach trees, and you want to continue to suppress yourself?"
"Hurry up, because I am no longer who I was before. I suppressed myself personally in order not to harm the common people. Now, I long in my heart to keep you and bury you with me.
The real me is dead, or I can no longer tell which face is the real me. ”
"I know, I will arrange it immediately while you are still conscious."
"You are wrong. I am not sober. I am not going out because I have entered an irreversible terminal stage. If I go out, I will only die quickly. I want to retain some dignity for myself.
In fact, I was very happy when I was skinning those water monkeys. There is nothing more interesting than teasing the monkeys.
As long as there are more of them and let me taste a little more of this happiness, I should really come out.
If only there were two more last night, only two;
I wouldn't even talk to you this way here right now. ”
Li Zhuiyuan thought to himself that it was a good thing, because there were two water monkeys in the hospital now.
Their accomplices had planned to pick them up from the hospital. According to their style of conduct, even their injured companions would be brought here, even if they were just standing guard with a flashlight.
Fortunately, I called the police in time.
By a strange combination of circumstances, he saved his life.
"And the reason why I changed my mind about burying you with me is not because of my pity for you, but because I found another, more fun way."
"What way?"
The sound of the wind becomes more delicate at this time, as if someone is whispering seductively in your ear:
"How about I tell you the method he taught me?"
Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "You learned that, and it's like this. How can I still learn it when there are ready-made counterexamples in front of me?"
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Li Zhuiyuan added:
"You said you were going to disappear. I filled the fish pond and planted it with peach trees. Did I learn or not? You don't know and you can't come to me again, right?"
"Haha, you will learn it, and you won't be able to help but use it after you learn it.
I was sure of this when I 'saw' you lying on the roof peeking. ”
Li Zhuiyuan was silent.
"The things are in the first drawer of the dresser. It's up to you to take them or not."
After saying that, the man lay back on the sarcophagus.
Methods to control death collapse...
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the dressing table and put his hand on the handle of the first drawer.
The wind came again:
"Now, do you want to say anything else?"
Li Zhuiyuan pursed his lips and said, "You are really good at reading people."
"Hehehe... So, if I drag you here to be buried together, how can it be fun for you to become like me in the future?
You could just plant trees properly. If you want to blame me, feel free to blame me. You are so much like him.
However, I can't retaliate against him. I can only transfer this hatred to you. ”
"Squeak..."
Li Zhuiyuan opened the drawer and found it empty.
Immediately, a huge sense of loss came over me.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Have you forgotten where this is?
This place has been restored. Do you still need to dig it up again to get things?
I have put it in a place in advance where you will definitely see it. ”
Li Zhuiyuan pushed the drawer back, nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, because in the future, you will hate me, just like I hate him now.
Once you learn this, those who have been controlled by you will enter your heart and distort and taint all your emotions.
One day,
When you look in the mirror,
You will find yourself in the mirror, so strange. ”
Li Zhuiyuan: "..."
The sound of the wind completely disappeared.
The iron chains on the sarcophagus were retracted and the coffin was locked again.
The surrounding lights are gradually extinguishing.
Before Li Zhuiyuan could close his eyes, a wave of sensation hit him. He didn't resist, feeling the rising feeling.
Suddenly, it was light again.
Li Zhuiyuan found himself standing in the room, with the afternoon sun shining in, bringing some warmth.
He saw Ding Dalin again, but at this time Ding Dalin was very thin.
He was like a shirt, neatly folded on the ground.
Li Zhuiyuan bent down and picked up the "shirt".
There's no way, we can't just leave him here like this, right?
In addition, although he had never weighed the weight of an adult skin before, he still felt that it was a bit too heavy.
He stretched out his hand and pressed on it, feeling some hard lumps.
I rummaged around and couldn't find the crack.
In the end, he could only take a deep breath, put his hand in Ding Dalin's mouth, dug all the way down, and grabbed something hard and cold.
I took it out and looked at it. It was a big gold ingot that was bright and yellow.
This should be the money for renting land and planting trees.
"You are so weird."
From the dam downstairs, a shout came:
"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan!"
Li Zhuiyuan carried Ding Dalin to the balcony and looked down.
Runsheng stood on the dam, waving a piece of human skin in his hand. The skin spread out, and with his waving, Secretary Jin swayed in the air.
"It scared me to death, Xiaoyuan. Fortunately, you are okay. I was really worried that you would become like this."
"Where's the master?"
"The uncle is pushing the cart back. What's going on?"
"It's okay, Brother Runsheng, come up here."
"Oh, good!"
Runsheng ran up quickly and didn't even have time to put Secretary Jin away.
It must have been pulled into some corner. In short, when Runsheng appeared on the balcony, Secretary Jin in his hand had cracked.
"Xiaoyuan, you also have one set here, what to do with these two sets of leather jackets?"
"Put it away first. You can throw it into the furnace of the workshop and burn it at night."
"Okay."
"Brother Runsheng, move the ladder."
"What?"
"Go to the roof."
"Yes, I almost forgot, our things are still up there." Runsheng moved the ladder and climbed up first. When Li Zhuiyuan climbed up, he turned back and stretched out his hand.
The formation flags and equipment wrapped in two sacks were still there, and a one-person high Yellow River shovel that belonged to Runsheng was still lying on the ground next to it.
"Xiao Yuan, I'll move them down."
"Brother Runsheng, don't move yet."
"Oh, okay."
Li Zhuiyuan walked to the sack containing the utensils, squatted down, opened the sack, and saw an ancient book with a black cover placed inside.
This is the...method it leaves to itself.
Take out the book. There is no title on the cover.
It didn't mention the word "book", it just talked about methods. So this book should be similar to handwritten study notes.
Without hesitation, just turn the page.
Then, Li Zhuiyuan was stunned. This beautiful handwriting was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it.
He immediately turned over several pages in succession, and finally confirmed a fact.
Holding the book, he stood up and looked at the fish pond below.
So,
Is the name of the person who lied to you...
Wei Zhengdao.
