Chapter 135
"So, you are a python?"
After listening to Deng Chen's narration, Tan Wenbin stared at him with curiosity, and reached out to lift up the other party's sleeve, trying to find snake scales.
Deng Chen smiled bitterly and took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and let the other party explore freely:
"The black python is the appearance of my spirit body, but I have never had a real python body, and I have never eaten a mouse."
"What is your body?"
"It belongs to someone else. He had a heart attack and was actually dead. I borrowed his body to stay alive."
"Borrowing a dead body to bring back a soul?"
"So..."
"Then since your name is Deng Chen, does it mean that the last owner of the borrowed body was named Chen?"
"No, the original owner of this body is named Deng, Deng Chen. Deng is his father's surname, and Chen is his mother's surname. In his grandma's house, his name is Deng Chen; in his grandma's house, he is called Chen Deng .”
"Oh, are you familiar with his family?"
"Well, we have been together for many years. Before, Mr. Dragon King..."
"We don't need to be so formal when chatting in private. It seems too formal."
"Brother Xiaoyuan before?"
Deng Chen remembered that Tan Wenbin called the Dragon King this way.
"Yeah." Tan Wenbin nodded and praised, "You are much smarter than Ayou."
When I think of Lin Shuyou Tan Wenbin, I feel depressed. Even though Brother Yuanzi has finished taking care of the matter and it is almost coming to an end, he originally had time to show his face before the incident ended.
Tan Wenbin didn't come here to flatter Brother Yuanzi. With the relationship between him and Brother Yuanzi, he no longer had to do such things deliberately.
He wants to realize the value of his life. The end of each wave is like the curtain call of a stage play. The main actors have to go up, hold hands, bow and say goodbye.
Originally, he had almost figured out the white mist, and he was completely in time.
As a result, Shuyou Lin came in and shouted, "Brother Bin, I'll take you in." Then he followed Shuyou Lin, circling farther and farther in the fog. When the fog cleared, they both ran to another street.
He rushed over for reinforcements, but was almost turned into a "deserter" by the communications soldier Lin Shuyou.
Deng Chen did not answer this. With his status as an evil spirit, it was a fluke that he survived in front of the Dragon King, but he did not dare to get involved in the terrible power struggle in the Dragon King's family.
"You continue."
"Brother Xiao Yuan came to my place to take pictures for the first time. After developing the photos for Brother Xiao Yuan, my eyes bled a lot and I had to rinse them with the faucet for a long time.
I know I've met terrible people.
After Brother Xiaoyuan left, I went to the credit union, took out all the deposits, and sent them to my... Deng Chen's parents' house. ”
"And you came back again?"
"Well, Brother Xiaoyuan seems to know that I will come back."
"Normally, this is not difficult for my brother Yuanzi." Tan Wenbin asked again, "But the book says that reviving a corpse will cause constant problems in the body, such as corpse spots or rot. Why do I think you are still fine?" Tender skin? ”
"There is indeed something wrong with your body." Deng Chen spread his left hand in front of him and patted the back of his head hard with his right hand.
"Didi!"
Two eyeballs were knocked out of their sockets and fell into his hands.
Tan Wenbin: "Fuck me!"
Deng Chen handed his two eyeballs to Tan Wenbin.
Tan Wenbin rubbed his hands on his clothes and asked, "Um, do you need to wash your hands?"
"It's okay, I can wash my eyes."
Tan Wenbin took the two eyeballs in his hand and gently fiddled with them with his fingers. The eyeballs could move on their own, which was quite interesting.
After playing with it for a while, Tan Wenbin returned the eyeball to Deng Chen.
After Deng Chen took it, he took out a handkerchief, wiped his two eyeballs, and then pressed them back into his eye sockets one by one.
Tan Wenbin: "This is much more convenient than wearing glasses."
"This is the change in my body. At present, it only appears in my eyes."
"This is not a mutation. It is much milder than what is recorded in the book. I think the fourth uncle is probably the white centipede you mentioned. It also shows that his ears are very sensitive and his eyes cannot see. But I can use my hearing to stir-fry, and the stir-fry is quite delicious.
From this point of view, the white centipede should have borrowed the body of a newly deceased person and resurrected it. ”
The reason is simple. Who would take the initiative to choose a blind person if he could take over his body at will?
Deng Chen nodded and said: "It should be like this."
"Have you not contacted each other before?"
"No, in fact, when we awakened our self-consciousness and produced our own spirits, we were already in a state of being broken apart. There is no emotion between the five of us...now there are four.
Probably, there are only a few shared memories, such as the sketch, which I have dedicated to Brother Xiaoyuan.
If we really had contact, all four of us wouldn't be living in Jinling. Wouldn't this give that pig a chance? ”
"That's true."
"I was also surprised that the four of us actually live in the same city."
"Don't be surprised, it's driven by the river water."
"River water?"
"You don't need to understand this, because I don't know much about it either."
"Yes, I understand."
Tan Wenbin walked to the counter and checked the yellow cloth package. There were three cuties sealed inside.
This seal, at first glance, was written by Brother Xiaoyuan, using a blood seal.
"Hiss..." Tan Wenbin suddenly clapped his hands.
"What...what happened?" Deng Chen asked doubtfully.
"Brother Xiaoyuan is injured?"
Deng Chen immediately rubbed his eyes: "Yes, his right hand is injured, I can see it in the picture."
"Oh, let me go, I didn't notice it. I should help Brother Xiaoyuan take care of the wound first."
"Then now..."
"Forget it, take care of your affairs first."
Tan Wenbin looked at the portrait frames on the cabinet.
He suspected that Deng Chen's body did not mutate because he had been doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
Just like that fourth uncle.
Tan Wenbin had witnessed the scene of his fourth uncle committing seppuku. The belly was white and tender, and the blood spurted out was also healthy and bright red.
"The first thing is, you have to take care of these three."
"Please don't worry. The three of them are in this state now. They don't have a day's rest. Even if they want to, they don't have the energy."
"A year, so long."
"Yeah."
"Is there any way to speed it up?"
"I...I haven't thought about it, I absolutely haven't, absolutely not." Deng Chen waved his hand hurriedly.
"I'm really asking you, do you have any?"
"Yes, there are some, such as some supplements, such as some places with strong Feng Shui weather. These can speed up their recovery."
"Then can they be used spiritually? I mean, after they recover a little."
"You mean..."
"Similar to arresting spirits and sending generals."
"You want to tame them?"
"Don't put it in such a harsh way, what is tameness, what is reciprocal cooperation, building a win-win situation."
"This...this..."
"Can you see the two children on either side of my shoulders?"
Deng Chen tried his best to look at it, shook his head and said, "I can't see it. Is there a seal on you?"
"Yes, they are attached. But I carry two cursed babies with me. Now they follow me across the river to accumulate merit and be reincarnated."
"I understand what you mean. It is an honor for us to become the Dragon King's sect." Deng Chen took a step back and prepared to kowtow.
He had nothing to hesitate. In the past, the four of them lived a life of fear, fearing that their identities would be revealed if they met some righteous people.
If you can become a disciple of the Dragon King and receive blessings, not only will it be safer in reality, but there will also be additional benefits in terms of the rules of heaven.
Tan Wenbin reached out to support him and said: "Our old lady said that times have changed, so we don't pay attention to those old etiquette.
Besides, it’s useless for you to beg me. I’ve already negotiated the deal here, and I have to report it to my brother Xiaoyuan. Brother Xiaoyuan must agree to it before it can be effective. ”
"Yes, I understand."
"Go and write a plan, from simple to difficult, list in detail the methods that can help them speed up their recovery, and then write down their respective special abilities and functions. After you finish writing, notify me to pick it up. I will leave my pager number. To you.”
"Okay, please don't worry, I will send it to you personally after I finish writing it."
"I said, I'll get it."
"Yes, yes, waiting for you to pick it up."
"The second thing is, your signature calligraphy is not good-looking, but my brother Xiaoyuan's calligraphy is first-rate."
"If the Dragon King can give you words, then I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
"I will talk to Brother Xiaoyuan when I get back, but we also have some requirements. You will see if you can accept them then."
"Understood, absolutely acceptable."
"Yeah."
The inscription is regarded as a seal, which probably means that this store and the four evil beasts in this store have been insured.
This is on the surface, and some specific control measures will definitely be added in the future, but this is beyond Tan Wenbin's ability. He can only ask Brother Xiaoyuan to come up with a solution when he goes back.
In Tan Wenbin's view, since he left them behind, he is involved in the causal relationship. It is impossible for the two brothers to have a drink together, and the necessary restraints must be put in place. In short, don't be emotional about things that can be standardized.
Think about it, if this thing can be implemented successfully in the end, it will mean that our team has four more... oh no, three usable spirits. This picture is quite beautiful when you think about it.
White Crane Boy is a high-ranking Yin God. With Brother Xiao Yuan here, it is not impossible for them to cultivate their own Yin God Beast.
After talking about business, Tan Wenbin reached out and patted Deng Chen on the shoulder.
Deng Chen trembled slightly and continued to smile in a flattering way.
"Okay, there's no need to continue like this. Apart from that pig, you, including these three, probably haven't done anything bad, and you've probably done good things.
Good people don't need to be so groveling.
But this is the way the world is, and please understand that whether it is public or private, you have your grievances, and we also have our difficulties. ”
"Yes, I know, I'm grateful, really."
"Thinking about it on the bright side, even though you didn't exist when the seal diagram caused chaos, it still has something to do with you. This disaster will be regarded as you repaying the debt for the past.
From now on, if you work hard, the future will be very bright. Those who want to be mixed up can join the Dragon King's house and become a guard beast; those who want to be free outside can also be made a river god of lakes and rivers.
If you want to be reincarnated as an individual in your next life, if we can help, we will definitely help. ”
These things were all told to Tan Wenbin by the old lady.
In the past, he must have felt that he was listening to ancient supernatural novels, but later, he himself was already in the story.
Deng Chen's face showed longing, and even the yellow cloth package had three protrusions standing upright.
Obviously, everyone is very satisfied with this cake.
Tan Wenbin felt that he had already settled this matter.
Not bad, although I didn't catch the pig slaughtering feast, I still got a seat at the end of the table.
After coming out of the photo studio, Tan Wenbin was not in a hurry to go back to school to report to Brother Xiao Yuan. He knew where Brother Xiao Yuan should be resting now. It was not an important matter and there was no need to disturb him there. I took a taxi and reported the location of the Eighth Hospital.
While riding in the car, the pager on Tan Wenbin's waist rang: Runsheng was hospitalized and his life was not in danger.
"Heh."
Tan Wenbin couldn't help laughing. You said Runsheng was lucky. Including Shuyou Lin, he was the worst this time among the four, but you said he was unlucky. Hey, someone was injured near the hospital.
While I was reading the news here, the taxi driver over there was also having a conversation with his walkie-talkie.
Tan Wenbin heard the noise inside. It seemed that a taxi driver had just had an accident. His car hit a garbage truck and he was covered in blood. He was sent to the emergency room.
"Hahahahaha, you deserve this beast!"
There was a happy and peaceful atmosphere on the intercom channel.
Tan Wenbin asked curiously: "Master, aren't you colleagues?"
The driver replied: "Hey, you don't know how much of a beast this turtle is. In the past, when he couldn't afford food from gambling, one of our big brothers helped him. He often took him home for meals and even helped him raise money for his car ride.
Later, this turtle grandson got together with Big Brother's woman, and the woman lived with him after the divorce.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Let's not say that the woman's cheating was not a good thing. Isn't this turtle grandson worse than a beast? ”
"That's true."
"Tonight can be regarded as God opening his eyes and finally giving this turtle grandson retribution."
With that said, the driver pressed the sign on the front of the car and the meter stopped.
"Hey, master, what are you doing?"
"I won't charge you for the fare. We just happened to make an appointment to go to the Eighth Hospital. After Big Brother got out of that stall, he was so angry that he had a physical problem. He has been hospitalized in the Eighth Hospital these days. We will buy some food and wine tonight. Go have a drink with Big Brother and celebrate, haha!”
"Thank you."
"Thank you. When you said you were going to the Eighth Hospital, I was thinking of going there to visit you in the ward. Who would have thought that I could hear this good news halfway through the car? It's just your luck. ”
"Haha." Tan Wenbin also laughed, "Okay, we are happy together."
When the taxi arrived at the Eighth Hospital, Tan Wenbin was dropped off first at the entrance of the hospital, and the driver had to drive into the parking lot.
As soon as I drove outside the parking lot, I happened to see a young nurse hurriedly walking over with something in her hands. Her feet stumbled and she fell to the ground.
The young driver immediately got out of the car and stepped forward to help: "Is it okay? It doesn't hurt from the fall."
"Thank you."
"It's okay, I'll help you pick things up."
When he picked up the things and handed them to the other party, the driver noticed that the nurse looked so sweet, and he was a little obsessed for a moment.
The little nurse tilted her head shyly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're too pretty, my fault..."
"They say you drive a taxi and are so talkative. It seems true."
"I didn't. I told the truth. You are so beautiful."
……
Tan Wenbin found Runsheng's ward, opened the door and saw Runsheng on the bed, bandaged like a mummy.
"Pfft...hahahahaha!"
Tan Wenbin laughed.
Runsheng closed his eyes, as if sleeping soundly.
Yinmeng rolled her eyes at him.
Shuyou Lin, who was peeling an apple, glanced at Brother Bin with envy. He had seen it before and thought it was funny, but he was afraid of affecting unity, so he didn't dare to laugh.
"Tsk, I said, Lord Runsheng, wake up and look at me. I'm rushing so fast just because I'm afraid I'll miss the last time I see you."
Runsheng opened his eyes helplessly and asked, "Is Xiaoyuan okay?"
"It's okay. Brother Xiaoyuan is so powerful, how can anything happen?"
Tan Wenbin brought over the apple that Shuyou Lin had just peeled and took a big bite. He did not tell Runsheng about Brother Yuanzi's injury.
Among the four of them, only Runsheng didn't call Xiaoyuan "brother."
Runsheng really regarded Xiaoyuan as his younger brother in his heart. If he knew that Xiaoyuan was injured, he would feel that he was useless and would blame himself very much.
Tan Wenbin explained what happened this time while eating an apple. When the time was almost up, he took Lin Shuyou back to school, leaving Yinmeng here to take care of Runsheng.
Before leaving the ward, Tan Wenbin made an extra joke:
"Mengmeng, please cook something delicious and give our Runshenghou a good nourishment."
……
After drinking the can of Jianlibao until every drop was left, Li Zhuiyuan fell asleep.
He originally wanted to take a bath at Grandma Liu's place, change into clean clothes, sit down again, and tell Ah Li what happened today.
But he was so sleepy that he sat down on the blanket and fell asleep directly.
Ali wanted to move him to her bed, but she was afraid of waking him up, so she had to gently lay him down on the carpet.
During this process, Ali discovered that the boy's right hand was injured. Although it was no longer bleeding, it was still bloody.
She walked to the bedroom door and opened it.
Aunt Liu stood three meters away from the door of the room. At this distance, she moved out quickly after hearing Ali's footsteps approaching. Previously, she was almost leaning against the bedroom door to listen.
Ali pulled Aunt Liu into the bedroom. Aunt Liu was also confused. When she saw Xiaoyuan before, she didn't see any injuries on her body. No, when the young man came in, his right hand was clenched into a fist and hidden in his sleeve.
This kid is real.
Aunt Liu brought the medicine box. Seeing the girl kneeling next to her and looking at her, she moved the medicine box in front of the girl and pointed to the liquid for debridement, the sore medicine and the bandaging in turn.
Xiaoyuan's right hand was simply injured by the explosion. Although the injury was not serious, it was not difficult to deal with.
Although the girl has never done this before, since her hands are good at handicrafts, it will be easy for her to do this.
She performed every step very carefully, fearing that it would cause pain and wake him up.
Aunt Liu had a great sense of responsibility to supervise the teaching on the spot, so she kept squatting nearby and watching, nodding slightly from time to time to express her approval of the girl's technique, and she was very happy in her heart.
After Ali took care of the wound, Aunt Liu walked out with the medicine box.
She closed the door, stood at the door, and caressed her chest. She had obviously eaten dinner for a long time, but now she felt fuller.
After putting away the medicine box, filling out the soup and medicine, and carrying the medicine bowl, she walked upstairs. She didn't see the old lady on the wicker chair in the bay on the second floor, so she went up to the third floor.
Pushing open the door of the mourning hall, the window was open, and the old lady was standing by the window.
"It's windy outside, and you've been coughing again recently, so don't blow the wind again."
"My body is not that weak."
"Yes, yes, but you still have to take medicine."
"Xiaoyuan is back."
"Well, I'm back. I was a little injured. Ali has already helped him take care of it."
"Where are the others?"
"Sleep."
"In Ali's room?"
"Yeah."
"It seems that the child is exhausted."
Aunt Liu couldn't help but feel funny in her heart. She recalled that the old lady had said firmly that she would not find anyone who was too smart. Now everyone is sleeping in Ali's room. Although one sleeps on the bed and the other sleeps on the carpet, the old lady can His old-fashioned temperament actually lamented that the child was tired.
"That day I went to Ali's room and saw her drawing clothes, so I added a few strokes to her to make her more practical and beautiful.
By chance, I saw the frame of Ali's picture book, so I flipped through it. ”
"Ali usually keeps that picture book frame under the bed, but doesn't leave it randomly on the desk. Did you happen to look through it casually?
No wonder you have been having a bad cough these days. It turns out that this is the problem. You should know what things can be seen and what things we need to avoid now.
When Ali was walking across the river, you taught me a lesson. ”
"You girl, you are so angry now. You even taught me a lesson."
The old lady muttered dissatisfiedly, but still took the medicine bowl and drank it.
"Ali and I are still young. It doesn't matter even if we take the initiative to take the responsibility, but you are different."
"Okay, okay, I've finished drinking the medicine, and you're still here forever."
"What is painted in the frame of Ali's painting?"
"I'm already coughing. If I tell you, you won't be able to cough up blood?"
"You..."
"I won't tell you anymore. Go down and make me a bowl of lotus seed soup. This medicine is too bitter. If I don't drink some dessert to neutralize it, I won't be able to sleep at night."
"How could you do this!"
"Go and make soup."
Aunt Liu sighed and went out with the bowl.
After the door closed, Liu Yumei turned back and looked at the tablets.
She thought of the oath Xiaoyuan made when she came downstairs while holding Ali's hand on the day she left the river.
But after looking at the picture book frame, Liu Yumei really realized what Xiaoyuan was doing.
The second wave was related to Liu Qingcheng from the Liu family. In the first wave and the third wave, Ali had already drawn half of the Five Yin Beasts, and she could see the clues.
She once lamented that meeting someone who is too nice and too smart at a young age is not necessarily a good thing.
But these two children are not called childhood sweethearts. Whose childhood sweetheart went out with a knife and killed the people who bullied you one by one when they were eleven years old?
She knows about those miscellaneous things, but she has no way of finding them. They are all well hidden, and some have been silent in reality for hundreds of years. You can't find any traces or clues of them at all.
The more something hides itself from the light, the more it makes the loudest dirty noise.
Not to mention that there is no one at home now, even when there were many people in the past, who could come up with such a method?
Let the river push them forward one by one, and then deal with them all one by one.
Liu Yumei glanced at these tablets and said bitterly:
"It's all because you didn't do things thoroughly and cleanly back then. Now you have to let your children help you finish it!"
……
Ali pulled up the curtains in the room to prevent the sun from waking up the tired boy prematurely.
First the pig disappeared, and then the other four disappeared too.
The thin mist that had been approaching noisy suddenly retreated and became quieter and thicker.
When her world suddenly became quiet, she knew that he had succeeded.
He said that he found the topic from her to take advantage of Jiang Shui's loopholes, and that he helped him.
But this time, she could see that because of herself, Jiang Shui seemed to have changed, as if it was targeting him.
This was also the reason why she was unwilling to give her hand to him when he came in the afternoon.
She didn't want to be a burden to him.
Although she knew that when he woke up tomorrow, he would tell her yesterday's story with confidence again, and would also tell her that this was a good way to continue doing this in the future.
The girl lowered her head. She felt that she was very useless. There was so little she could do to help him. Even walking such a short distance to buy him a can of his favorite drink almost drove her crazy. The moment she returned to the yard, her whole body was filled with excitement. Momentarily wet with sweat.
The girl got on the bed, moved gently to the edge of the bed, hugged her knees with her hands, turned her head and looked at the boy lying under the bed next to her.
The world outside is really scary.
It's not as simple and easy as you told me.
The girl looked down at the boy's sleeping face, and smiled as she looked at him.
It seemed that he was sitting at the corner of the second floor terrace more than a year ago, with his head lowered and looking at himself from top to bottom.
You are really, really awesome.
The closed curtains blocked out the moonlight outside, but the moonlight was everywhere in the bedroom.
