Invitation

What followed was bloody but natural.I didn't look at Yunyu again, even though I wanted to see him so much.I was dragged out from under the table, and a sword pierced my chest.However, I did not die immediately, but fell into a coma with my last breath, and was finally tied to a stone and sank into the lake.

The method of throwing the corpse was the same as what Yunyu said. There are many wronged souls at the bottom of this lake.

When I sank into the lake, I was awakened by the cold water for a moment. Seeing the sparkling lake surface getting farther and farther away from me, the stones tied to my body made me sink faster. When I fell to the bottom of the lake, all human voices disappeared. , the turbid lake water is mixed with the turbulent sand, the water plants are entangled with the broken robe, and there is only the silent sound of water gurgling in my ears.

I struggled slowly and feebly at the bottom of the water, despair and resentment gnawed at my remaining mind like maggots attached to the bones, like raging sea water at high tide, surging waves...

Why kill me?

kill them all...

kill them all...

Kill them all!

"A Zhou!"

"Cai Zhou!"

"Please come back, please come back..."

The hysterical chaos is gradually becoming dark, they are fighting, brewing, and fermenting in the dark, and they are getting darker and thicker. Amid the boiling resentment, someone came step by step, dressed in white like a moon, standing not far from me where I stretched out beseeching hands.

"Please come back..."

kill them all...

"Come back, don't scare me..."

The man still stretched out his hands stubbornly, uttering desperate calls.

It's like being trampled to pieces, but still struggling to hold the puddle of blood on the ground.

In a daze, I thought, well, listen to you.

The two voices were intertwined, anger and pleading, despair and calling, noisy and lonely, and finally drifted away with the silent water waves at the bottom of the lake.

I fell into the boundless darkness again, and I seemed to be alive again.

When I woke up again, I was lying on a plank bed, still in a trance, staring at the ceiling for a long time in a daze.

Am I not at the bottom of the lake?

I'm not……

"Cai Zhou!"

I was hugged tightly by a cold man, he rubbed me into his arms desperately, his body trembled imperceptibly, I raised my hand to touch his long hair like a waterfall, I was stunned, my heart skipped a beat acid.

All memories rush back with gentle steps.

I smiled: "It's okay, I'm back."

Qin Feng sat across from me, paralyzed like a puffer fish with air leak: "Oh my god, I was scared to death."

Master said: "It's a pity that someone called you a soul, otherwise I would have to go to Bei'an to catch you."

My face hurt for a while, and I stretched out my hand to touch it, only to find that the left half of my face was hot and swollen, it must have been red, and I couldn't understand it: "Who hit me just now?"

The master burst out laughing.Qin Feng raised his hand confidently: "Me."

I said, "What the hell are you..."

He said: "Who knows you, you suddenly became emotional, neither of them can hold you down, just like Nuwa repairing the sky and Nezha making trouble in the sea. Didn't I want to wake you up, but I even slapped you Several of them didn't wake you up."

I'm a little embarrassed: "Hi..."

After waking up, I sorted it out briefly, and said everything like this, and finally the trip was worthwhile. Yunyu is indeed related to this lake and this person.After hearing this, Yunyu was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "Raw lacquer."

I have mixed feelings.I just watched it once in the psychic illusion, but Yunyu experienced all kinds of tragedies in the previous life one by one.

I patted him: "It's okay, it's okay, our little voice sounds nice now."

Master couldn't bear it anymore: "You two are almost done, I'll do the rest, you all go out."

Yunyu and I walked to the door and found that Qin Feng hadn't followed. He stayed in the room, waved at us and said, "I have something to say to my master."

We stood by the door, I looked at the yellow free-range chickens in the yard, and said, "Master said you are from the Northern Dynasty, how could he know?"

Yunyu stood beside me and said silently, "It's probably the spiritual power of the Celestial Master."

I said: "If you are really from the Northern Dynasty, it will be easy to handle. You died in a massacre—or to be more accurate, civil strife. If you narrow down the time point to the Northern Dynasty, then it is probably..."

The chaos in Heyin.

In the Northern Dynasty, Er Zhurong threw Empress Dowager Hu and Emperor Shao into the Yellow River, and in response to Fei Mu's admonition, summoned the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in Heyin County in the name of offering sacrifices, and killed them all in one fell swoop.

The time and place, including the altar I saw, are all right.

Yunyu said, "What?"

I said, "Wait, I'll go back and check the history books, and I'll tell you when I'm sure."

Yunyu didn't say anything, just put his hands on my shoulders, I took him a few steps into the room, saw that he was still in a daze, and asked him with a smile: "What's the matter?"

He grabbed my arm and looked straight into my eyes: "I want to hug you."

I said, "hug."

He jumped up and hugged me.

I put my arms around his waist: "Why are you so clingy today? Are you scared by me, Nezha Naohai?"

He sneered: "Do you think I'm as timid as a mouse?"

I also laughed and said, "So you're acting like a baby with me?"

He shook his head again, let go of the arm holding me, lowered his head against my shoulder, looked tired and bewildered, sighed a long time, and said for a long time: "I won't let you take any risks in the future."

It was already evening at this time, and the master asked us to have a meal and let us stay for one night before leaving.The three of us live in one room, and the master lives next door.Qin Feng didn't go back to his room after he came out from Shigong's place. He kept wandering outside, came in when it was dark, poked his head, and said to me with a strange expression: "Dabai, come out, I have something to tell you."

I said, "What are you doing, you are so mysterious."

He clicked his tongue: "So much nonsense, Ma slipped out."

I put on a piece of clothing and walked out with him. The grandson of Qin Feng couldn't hold back his fart. On Qiqing, there was something in his heart that could be seen at a glance on his face. He took me a long way, looked around before standing It was decided, and he said to me with a complicated expression: "Zhou, I have something to discuss with my master."

I said, "What is it that you are so sneaky? You lifted out the gossip tiles that Shigong set on the ground?"

He slapped me casually: "Fart your boomerang." After that, he had that indescribable expression again, "You man, you forget about your mother when you have a wife. I tell you about this, you must scold me. Me, if you don’t get it right, you’ll have to beat me up.”

An ominous premonition emerged in my heart: "What do you mean by that?"

He glanced at me, and took out a small package from his arms. He opened the package, and inside was a two-pronged long dagger with some simple and powerful lines, pure green and transparent, under the moonlight, like a ice.

I was surprised: "This is..."

He whispered, "It's called fish intestines. It can... eliminate demons and ghosts."

"What did you say?!"

Qin Feng sighed: "Don't look like you want to eat people, I didn't tell you to go into the house and stab him immediately with this, I mean... Zhou, you have to leave a way out for yourself in everything. , I don’t know the origin of this person who said he was Yunyu, but he is too dangerous, you know better than me that you have lived with him for so long, I am afraid, brother, I am really afraid that you will disappear one day I was killed at home by him without a sound, and I don't know what your plan is, but no matter what you want to do with him, you take this, even if it's just a talisman."

Qin Feng stuffed the dagger into my arms, and I pushed it to block his hand.

I bowed my head in silence for a while, and said, "Old Qin, he has no defense against me, and I just carry a knife that can kill him? Is it like a human being?"

Qin Feng was in a hurry: "I didn't say that this knife was used to kill him. Why can't you understand what I'm talking to you? He is usually gentle, and you don't know what happens when he loses control? I That's just, I'm afraid that if you really get to that point, if you don't have a helper by your side, at least you..."

"I do not want."

"Cai Zhou!"

"I can't. This knife is hot to hold."

Qin Feng was so angry that he straightened his hair: "No, why are you being stubborn with me? Even if you hold him, you don't know. Just treat yourself as an insurance policy, okay?"

I said, "No."

Qin Feng's slender eyes widened and glared at me. He choked for a long time and couldn't speak. After a while, he turned his head and cursed: "Fuck."

We stood silently in the bleak night wind of autumn in Northeast China. Qin Feng lowered his head and covered the lower half of his face with the collar of his windbreaker. It took him a long time to speak again, in a muffled voice: "My money is spent like running water, please tell me, grandpa." Grandma, you only need to give me something that my master knelt down to ask for, and if you don’t want it, you’re going to piss me off.”

I said: "...I really don't want to, I can't do this."

Qin Feng was so angry that he began to rhyme: "You don't want it, you can't do it, your grave will be three feet high next year."

I froze for a moment, then couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qin Feng said weakly: "You are laughing ass."

I said, "No, you have nothing else to do? Then I'll go back first." I cupped my hands at him, "I'll treat you to a drink another day."

I turned around and walked back, after a few steps, Qin Feng stopped me hesitantly behind me: "Bai Zhou."

I said, "What's the matter?"

He said: "You are not right these days."

I said, "That's right, normal people who ask for leave to go to Shuangya Mountain to play psychics."

He looked troubled, and hesitated: "No, it's just... okay, let me just say, do you like him?"

Like an undercurrent surging in a cavity, I finally found a breakthrough gate. I lowered my head, like a drum in my heart was hit hard, with a bang, the still water flowing deep in every cell of my body suddenly Agitated by these words into a torrent, my heartbeat suddenly quickened, my blood and brain boiled at the same time, and the pores of my body trembled slightly in the wind, and the cool and withered wind seemed to have passed through years— —

It's like a horse in a gap, a fire in a stone, and a body in a dream.

So I stomped my feet and replied crisply: "Yes."

I said, "You just found out."
