After coming out of the darkroom, Yi Ba recited another sutra, and the small gap that opened slowly closed.
"It feels like you are quite familiar with this place?" After Yi Ba finished his work, I said to him with a smile.
"The layout of this house should be the handiwork of a Taoist master, so I can barely see it."
Yi Ba has known me for so long, and he always has something to say. something. But this time, I felt that he was a little dishonest, as if he was deliberately hiding something from me.
The following night was actually peaceful and nothing happened.
Just after five o'clock, before dawn, Yi Ba woke up Song Xi and me.
“We have to get going.” Yi Ba said.
"So early?" I looked at Yi Ba with doubtful eyes.
"Yeah!" Yi Ba nodded and said, "If it's a little later, we won't be able to get out."
"Is there anything in this?" I asked Yi eight.
"I can't explain clearly. Anyway, just listen to me." Since Yi Ba didn't want to explain too much, I naturally didn't need to ask any more questions!
We simply packed up our things and followed Yi Ba out the door. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw the girl in the white dress.
“You took something you shouldn’t have taken.” The girl in the white skirt looked at me coldly with her exposed eye.
“No!” Although I knew that the girl in the white skirt was probably talking about the broken wooden sign, I couldn’t admit it!
“Really?” The girl in the white skirt was not asking me, but Yi Ba.
"No." Yi Ba replied firmly.
The girl in the white skirt did not speak anymore, but turned and left.
“Which song is she singing in?” I asked Yi Ba.
"Don't worry so much, we have to leave this village before the sun comes up." Yi Ba said.
"We have to leave before dawn, so why don't we leave earlier?" I looked at Yi Ba with some confusion.
"You can only leave at Mao hour and leave the village before sunrise." Yi Ba replied to me.
“Oh!” Seeing that Yi Ba didn’t mean to explain more, I didn’t ask any more questions.
Under the leadership of Yi Ba, we climbed over a mountain. At this time, the sky was white, and it looked like the sun was about to come out.
“Should we leave the village?” I asked Yi Ba.
"Yes!" Yi Ba nodded and said with lingering fear: "The luck of the three of us is relatively good today, and there were no accidents along the way. If we want to come next time, there may not be any Such good luck.”
"Come next time? It's enough to come to this damn place once. Why do you want to do it next time?" I looked at Yi Ba speechlessly.
"Since I came once and took something away, even if I don't want to do it next time, I have to come." Yi Ba looked at me with serious eyes and said, "This is Responsibility."
"Are you hiding something from me?" I asked Yi Ba.
"I'm hiding nothing from you, but there are some things that even if I tell you now, you don't understand." What Yi Ba said was right, but it was a bit hurtful to his self-esteem!
"Although we left the village, we don't know what kind of ghost place it is. Let's leave quickly!" Song Xi said.
Yi Ba looked up at the direction of the sun and said: "When walking in the mountains, you can only follow the general direction. As long as the general direction is correct, you can still get out even if you go around a long way."
I originally thought that by following Yi Ba, we would be able to get out of the mountains soon. As a result, after walking for most of the day, the sun was already overhead, and we finally walked onto a small road.
Where there is a road, there will be a car. The three of us waited on the side of the road. About half an hour later, a farm vehicle finally arrived, and the fellow took us to a nearby town. Then we transferred two more times before finally returning to Chongqing.
After returning to Yiba Pavilion, Yi Ba went to find some pieces of peach wood and made a small box. He also carved something that looked like runes around the box.
After it was done, he asked me to put the broken wooden sign in.
"Isn't this broken wooden sign really the Ghost King's Order?" I asked Yi Ba.
"I haven't seen it, so I can't say for sure. But we can't tell anyone about the wooden sign." Yi Ba said seriously.
After walking on the mountain road for so long, plus the tossing in the Prince Consort’s Tomb, I was already so tired that my whole body was sore. That night, I had a good sleep.
Early the next morning, Song Xi called me. She said her car was still in Qinglong Bay and asked me to go to her office to get the key and help her drive it back.
Not only is her Prado in Qinglong Bay, my broken bread is also there!
That guy Yi Ba can't drive, and I can't drive two cars at once. It seems that I have to make two trips.
I went to Song Xi's office to get the key, then hired a taxi to Qinglong Bay and drove the Prado back. Then I made another trip and drove my broken bread back to Yiba Pavilion.
“I don’t know what’s going on over there in Zhangjiacun. How about we go over there and take a look?” I had just driven the broken bread back, and before I even sat down on the stool, that guy Yi Ba started to Come with me like this.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were going to Zhangjiacun? I drove the car directly from Qinglong Bay so close, and asked me to make another trip." I said to Yi Ba speechlessly.
“I’m not practical either, so I just improvise.” Yi Ba said with a smile.
No matter how extreme Yi Ba's request is, I have to agree! So I could only drive the broken bread again and headed towards Zhangjiacun.
Zhangjiacun didn’t look unusual. After walking around the village, Yi Ba took me to Zhang Guangde’s house and chatted with him for a few words. After making sure everything was okay, we drove the broken bread back to Yiba Pavilion.
“You should be completely relieved now, right?” I asked Yi Ba.
"If it weren't for that wooden sign, the matter of the Prince Consort's Tomb could indeed be brought to an end for the time being." Yi Ba sighed and said, "Asking Brother Chu Yi to take that wooden sign back would be tantamount to I took a hot potato!”
“Since it was a hot potato, why did we take it then?” I asked Yi Ba with some confusion.
"It's destined. This is our responsibility." Yi Ba took the words and said: "That broken wooden sign, if you are destined to be with it, Brother Chuyi, it may be of great use. Even if you are not destined, it may be of great use. , we can't let it fall into the hands of others."
"What is fate?" I asked.
"The Ghost King's Order is not just a token, but also a volume of scriptures that match it. It is useless to only get the order without understanding the scriptures. Even if you get the scriptures, you can't understand them. It's useless," Yi Ba said.
“By fate, do you mean that scripture?” I asked.
“I’m still not sure whether this wooden sign is the Ghost King’s Order. It’s a treasure that no one has found for hundreds of years, but we were able to get it so easily. I always feel a little strange in my heart. "Yi Ba said.
"You think it's strange, but I think even if we were lucky, we wouldn't have such good luck!" I said honestly.
"Without scriptures, just getting the Ghost King's Order has no effect. From this point of view, maybe someone deliberately gave us the Ghost King's Order for safekeeping." Yi Ba said.
"Aren't there some strange symbols engraved on the coffin containing this broken wooden sign? Is that thing a scripture?" I asked Yi Ba.
“Although I don’t have a photographic memory, my memory is not too bad. After seeing the symbols on the coffin, I can’t remember any of them. As long as I use my brain to think about it, I will have a headache and feel uncomfortable all over." Yi Ba paused and said, "This is why I said that we will probably go back to that village again."
"Is there anyone there? ”
A woman's voice came from downstairs, it must be Sister Shaoyao. That girl came to Yiba Pavilion at this time, she must be trying to find out something from me.
“Don’t be fooled.” Yi Ba told me.
"I've always been the one to trick her. If she wants to trick me, that's impossible." I said.
“As long as a woman shows off her coquettishness, she can unknowingly deceive a man.” This guy Yi Ba, he actually doesn’t believe me so much.
I didn’t talk to Yi Ba anymore, but went downstairs!
"Sister Shaoyao is here!" Seeing that Sister Shaoyao had already entered the door, I greeted her warmly.
