My years as a fortune teller

It's not so much a small river that blocks us, it's better to say that it is wider than a ditch and has more flow than a stream.So I rolled up my trouser legs a little, squatted down and carried the old man He Qingshui's body on my back.

I didn't expect that after carrying the corpse on my back, I immediately felt unusually heavy.Senior Dong Qi looked at me and smiled and said, "How is it? Is it heavy? I'm not kidding you. People who haven't exercised can't cross the river with a dead body on their backs."

Look down on me, I am a hundred unhappy.But I didn't express it, but took a deep breath and stood up with the corpse on my back.Uncle Xuan He came over and said with a smile: "Little fat man, if you can't do it, don't show off. This is not a joke. You have to be careful later, don't let the corpse's feet enter the water."

After I gave Uncle Xuanhe a blank look, I said, "Understood, you underestimated me too much. Hmph!" After speaking, I stepped into the river.To be honest, this river is not deep, and the water only submerged my ankles.I walked slowly step by step, for fear of stepping on the air and falling.

In fact, it's okay to fall into the water, but I'm afraid that the body will get wet.Because "Water belongs to Yin and can gather souls!" This is written in the Fengshui notes handed down by some Fengshui ancestors in the past.So I know this, and be careful.

But when I walked to the middle of the river, I suddenly felt as if something was holding my feet and preventing me from moving forward.I didn't pay attention to it at first, and after pushing the corpse on my back a few times, I lifted my legs and was about to walk forward.

Senior Dong Qi shouted from behind: "Can you do it? If you can't, don't go forward. Crossing the waterway is one step at a time. If you don't pay attention, you will be stuck in the water."

I definitely understand what Senior Dong Qi said, ghosts can gather in the water.So this kind of wild streams, small rivers, etc., may have ghosts inside.If one is not careful, being pulled into the water, no matter how shallow the stream is, can drown a person.

Without turning my head, I shouted: "It's okay, just look at it!" As I said that, I lifted my feet and was about to leave.At this time, I could clearly feel that something like a pair of hands was holding my ankle tightly.

It should be because the water is too cold, and my feet are a little numb.I thought about pushing the corpse on my body, but at this moment, I suddenly felt that the corpse on my back was heavy.No way, why is it so heavy?Did the corpse's feet go into the water?

Thinking of this, I shook the corpse's legs, and his feet were clearly at my knees.The corpse's feet did not enter the water, but how could the corpse be so heavy?Is it because I haven't exercised for a long time, and I can't carry things like corpses.

I took a deep breath slowly, pulled my foot suddenly and easily stepped over.hey-hey!I smiled to myself.It seems that I really worry too much, isn't this a very easy step to take!

But just when I was proud, I suddenly felt a disturbance in the water.Suddenly, I felt a looseness under my left foot, and I involuntarily leaned to the left.No, is there something dirty in the water, I'm going to pour it into the water.

It was too late and then quickly, and I saw two figures quickly approaching me.Uncle Xuanhe said in a low voice: "Take a deep breath, silently practice the Hunyuan Jue." As soon as he finished speaking, my left and right hands and ribs were grabbed.

In this way, with the assistance of Uncle Xuan He and senior Dong Qi, I made it to the opposite bank.Once on the shore, I involuntarily fell to my knees on the ground.Panting heavily, he looked back at Senior Dong Qi.

I saw him smiling and said to me: "Well, now you know how powerful it is! Ordinary corpse hunters are afraid of the river first, and the woods second. There is a lot of knowledge here, and I will gradually Learn, you have the talent to drive corpses!"

I slowly stood up from the ground, and said with a smile: "Forget it, this job is not suitable for me, I'd better be a person who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish grains from grains!" Slowly put down the rolled-up trouser legs .

"By the way, uncle!" I suddenly asked in amazement: "Why don't you see the ugly baby? You came here with the old man. Where is the ugly baby? Where did he go?" I said and hurriedly looked to the other side.

Senior Dong Qi smiled, pointed behind me and said, "Look at who is behind you?" I looked back and was so scared that I almost fell back into the water.What I didn't expect was that the one standing behind me was the ugly baby.How did this guy come here? He wasn't in front of me when I knelt down just now.Why did I turn around and he appeared behind me.

Uncle Xuanhe smiled, patted my shoulder and said: "Why didn't you think of it! To put it bluntly, you can't even keep up with half of the ugly baby here. You should be more modest in the future, and don't think about showing off!"

I nodded speechlessly. At this time, Senior Dong had already fixed the corpse in the same way as before.He turned his head and said to us: "It's still the same, take care of the ugly baby and go behind. After two hours, there is a hole in the front where we can rest." Then continue to drive the corpse forward.

I took Uncle Xuanhe's hand and asked: "This small river is only three meters wide, and the water depth is only up to the ankle. But why, I almost fell into the water just now. And the body is getting heavier and heavier. There is more than one person on the back."

"Haha!" Uncle Xuanhe laughed loudly, and then said to me: "At night, especially in the wild, corpses are easy to absorb yin energy, and there will be some dirty things attached to it, and yin can gather in the water. "

"Oh, my God!" I patted my forehead with my hand and said, "It turned out to be such a simple truth. I said why the body suddenly became heavier. It almost killed me in this not deep river. If that If you don't, tell me how wronged I am."

Uncle Xuanhe ignored me, just smiled and dragged the ugly baby on the way.After walking for a while, Senior Dong Qi drove the corpse into a cave.We also walked in, because the east has turned white by now.

This cave is very dry, unlike ordinary caves that have water.After putting away the luggage, Uncle Xuanhe took me to find some branches to light a fire.The body of old man He Qingshui was leaning against the wall of the cave beside him.

After we lit the bonfire, Uncle Xuanhe took out purified water and handed it to Senior Dong Qi and me.I bought this when I lived in Sister Wu's store, and I haven't drunk it recently.Uncle Xuan He took out some cold steamed buns and distributed them to all of us.

Senior Dong Qi took two sips, then handed the pure water to Chouwa.He immediately hugged the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.Uncle Xuanhe and I glanced at each other and smiled.

Senior Dong Qi looked at us and said: "It's been a hard journey, if there are no accidents. We will be able to go to the Corpse Mountain the day after tomorrow, and then I will treat you two well."

Uncle Xuanhe smiled, and said to him: "Senior, that's what it said, we have been friends for many years. Do you still have to be so far away? And this time, senior can lend us the jade knife to save those cursed people. I haven’t said thank you yet, but seniors have said thank you again and again.”

Senior Dong Qi laughed and laughed, and I immediately asked: "Old seniors, do you often encounter situations like the one just now when you drive away corpses? It seems that the danger is very great if you just drive away corpses alone. of."

The old man nodded and said to me: "The first requirement for a corpse chaser is good physical fitness, and the second is to have sharp eyesight. The next thing is to look at the sense of direction. Because when we chased corpses, we encountered A river without a bridge has to cross the river with dead bodies on your back. If you encounter a steep hill, you have to carry dead bodies on your back. Sometimes there are too many dead bodies, and you have to carry them back and forth. I once carried five dead bodies in a row at night. A dead body crossing the river. Hehe, this is considered pediatrics. After I apprenticed to a teacher, the master once asked me to carry a [-]-kilogram stone on my back to climb a mountain and cross the river. So I am used to it, but now I am old and have left some work behind. "After speaking, he laughed.

I smiled and continued to ask: "I heard people say that the master and apprentice usually go out together to chase away corpses. Why didn't the old man accept an apprentice? This will also make it easier for you to come out and chase away corpses in the future!"

The senior Dong Qi said with a smile: "Do you think that young people today can learn this with patience? Now it is almost incomparable with the past. Besides, I am also old. If it is not for him this trip, I will not I will drive away the corpse again." I knew that the old man Dong Qi was talking about was old man He Qingshui.

I thought for a while and said with a smile: "If the ugly baby can recover a bit in the future, can you take him with you! In this case, he will also be taken care of by someone. For you to grow old, you will have someone to accompany you."

When Senior Dong Qi heard this, he looked at the ugly baby and fell into deep thought.After a long time, he saw tears in his eyes, and said to us: "If that's the case, it must be the best. I have harmed their mother and child these years, and I should give some compensation."

"It's not harmful!" Uncle Xuanhe continued: "If you hadn't stopped him back then, maybe your master would have been harmed by Gu poison even if he wasn't hurt by Yin Qi, and he couldn't be alone after all. "

Senior Dong Qi tilted his head to look at Uncle Xuanhe, and said silently: "You may be right, I was wondering if my master knew something? That's why he was so cruel, or ordinary Time just doesn't work like that."

"Old man!" I looked at him and asked, "Do you know Princess Jade's mother? I think what you have for Princess Jade is not just love, it should be more of a father's love. A kind of elder's love for the younger generation. Beloved, I don’t know if I’m right or not.” Just after I finished speaking, Uncle Xuanhe kicked me hard.

I ignored Master Xuan He and continued to stare at Senior Dong Qi. "Hey" He sighed and said to us: "Princess Jade's mother Jin Daika is my cousin and the woman I have been secretly in love with for many years. Later, due to various reasons, I came out to learn how to drive corpses, and she went to learn Gu Even after he became the wife of King Miao, we still had a certain relationship. My master also knew about this matter, so we can say that we have some relationship with Princess Yu's parents."

Hearing this, I looked at Master Xuanhe, and he nodded secretly to me.Seeing this, I seemed to be encouraged, and asked impatiently: "I see, when you see Princess Jade, you know that there has been a mutation in her family. So you are a corpse in name, In fact, they secretly took care of Princess Jade. One day, they finally couldn’t wait any longer, so they secretly went to find Princess Jade. As a result, the three of them, Senior He and Princess Jade, had a fake husband and wife relationship with Princess Jade.”

Senior Dong Qi looked at me and said in surprise: "How do you know this? You are so powerful that you have guessed all these things. That's right, so I didn't save Zhang Shishen after he was seriously injured. I was imprisoned in the corpse king's cave by my master, and I faced the wall and thought for three years."

I nodded, and then said: "One day in the cave, the world has been thousands of years. So when you came out, everything changed. By the way, is there a cultivator in the ghost king cave, old man? How else can I see it?" Princess Yu doesn't look like she's been poisoned by a poisonous poison, and the ghost king's emissary you mentioned shouldn't be inferior to you and my uncle."

Senior Dong Qi nodded and said to me: "That Ghost King Cave used to be the residence of Hua Miaotou for generations. In front is the meeting hall, and in the center of the cave is the residence of the headman. Going a few miles to the back is the burial place of the heads of generations. In the early years of the Republic of China, all the people inside died for unknown reasons. And the corpses were deliberately arranged in arrays, and few living people came out after entering. That is, from that period, Miaowang Cave became a Ghost King Cave. .As for the messenger, I don’t know, it should have appeared later.” Hearing this, I looked at Master Xuanhe, and it seemed that the key to solving all the puzzles was in the Ghost King Cave...
