First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]

"You..." The old man was like a devil in her eyes at this moment, the wrinkles on her face trembled with her atmosphere, and she said in a sobbing voice: "Why are you so obsessed! I have lived to be more than eighty years old Yes, this life is enough. If you want me to live, I can grit my teeth and eat these things full of corpses to support you, but why do you want to deprive others of their lives? How old is this child, our child died Do you want his parents to try that?! When did you become so selfish?!"

"Stop talking." The old man let the old lady vent his anger, and he dragged out a jar from under the bed.

The old man put the jar aside, lifted the quilt, and a foul smell came out immediately.

The old lady's body was exactly as Zhou Tong said, the exposed part from the ankle to the knee was so festered that it was almost impossible to see, especially in this weather, with high temperature and humidity, the rot was even worse.

The old man dragged the quilt covering the old lady to the floor and spread it out, adjusted his position so that he was shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Tong, then he hugged the old lady from the bed forcefully and put her on the quilt.

He glanced at Zhou Tong, without any extra emotion in his eyes, as if Zhou Tong was just a dead person, the old man said: "The process of dying will not be easy, you should be mentally prepared."

After speaking, without looking at Zhou Tong any more, he walked to the jar and fished out a Gu worm from the jar with his bare hands.

The whole body of that Gu worm was shiny black, its carapace was hard, but its mouthparts were bright red, its eyes were buried under the carapace, emitting a faint blue light.

This "Ghost Gu" is kept in the corpse, it does not eat carrion, it only lives by sucking the yin energy from the corpse, the brighter the carapace, the healthier it is.

This ghost Gu can have such a mental appearance, which proves that the old man has been carefully raising it.

The old man pinched the Ghost Gu, and the Ghost Gu lingered on the old man's hand like a pet, without any movement of resistance, it was held obediently by the old man, and placed on Zhou Tong's forehead.

The ghost Gu's mouthparts trembled, and made a slight cry. It crawled on Zhou Tong's forehead, and kept sucking it with its mouthparts. The old man looked at the Ghost Gu expectantly. Who knew, the Ghost Gu's movements suddenly stopped, Climbing up and down Zhou Tong's head, like a hunter who has lost his target, full of confusion.

"What's going on?" The old man was stunned, carefully watching the movements of Ghost Gu, and whispered, "Why can't the soul be found? Could it be...a fake?"

"Well, it's fake." Zhou Tong's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the old man looked back in shock, his eyes widened, "You, you...how is it possible?"

"Substitution is not something unique to black witches." Zhou Tong smiled, and the old man turned around when he heard the words, and the person who was crushed under the spider's web was actually a paper doll!

As soon as "Zhou Tong"'s body disappeared, the Ghost Gu suddenly lost its target, fell to the ground all of a sudden, and then ran around in a daze as if shocked.

Zhou Tong said: "If you just want to use corpses to support people, the corpses in the cemetery are enough. But you just want to manipulate the tongue to kill people. Yue Hengyu has a special physique. I guess you may want to use his corpse to make food. Leave everything else alone.”

Hearing this, the old man knew that the conspiracy had been revealed, but he must not let the Ghost Gu fall into the hands of others. He rushed over to snatch the Ghost Gu back, but unexpectedly, the Ghost Gu floated in the air, trembling.

"what happened?"

Ling Yuan's appearance appeared, his lower body was not real, but his upper body was exposed, holding the Ghost Gu in his hand, obviously wanting to take it for himself, Zhou Tong understood what Ling Yuan was going to say without saying a word. What - I want this thing.

The Ghost Gu that has sucked countless Yin Qi is indeed a great tonic, and it looks so fat... No wonder Ling Yuan is tempted, but when he thinks that Ling Yuan wants to eat this thing... Zhou Tong feels that he is a bit of a normal human being who eats normally. can't accept...

Ghost Gu fell into Ling Yuan's hands, the old man was in a panic, he stared at Ling Yuan and shouted vigilantly: "What are you?"

Ling Yuan didn't bother to talk to the old man, he retracted his appearance and then retracted to Zhou Tong's side. The poor Ghost Gu came out to roam around without eating anything and was caught by others, pitifully hung in mid-air, Can't go up, can't go down.

The old man is basically at the end of his skills now, raising Gu requires energy, and it is not easy to raise such two Gu worms with his energy, Zhou Tong reckoned that he would not be able to produce other more powerful Gu worms.

He walked towards the old lady, looked at her withered and thin body, and said, "I'll take you to the hospital."

"No need." The old lady looked at the old man with tears in her eyes and said, "I'm going to die soon, do you still want to play with these Gu worms?"

The word "death" touched the old man, he shook his body, and suddenly rushed to the only dilapidated cabinet in the room, opened the door of the cabinet, and took out an urn.

Zhou Tong watched the old man move coldly and did not stop him.

The old man walked up to the old lady with the urn in his arms, and took out a few Gu worms. These Gu worms were obviously not tamed. A few steps away, the old man's palm was bitten to a bloody mess, green poisonous water gushed out from the wound, and even Gu worms crawled into his clothes along his arms.

The old man ignored it, grabbed the Gu insects and said to the old lady: "There are no flowers, no flowers, these few Gu can continue your life, you want to live, you have to live well..."

Zhou Tong only made a move at this time, he stopped the old man's movement, and said to him: "It's useless, putting these Gu on her body will cause her to suffer great pain, and her spirit can't bear it anymore. Definitely killing her."

The old man didn't speak, he glared at Zhou Tong: "Go away."

Zhou Tong didn't give way, and stopped in front of the old man. The old man couldn't move Zhou Tong, suddenly shouted, threw those Gu on the ground like crazy, then ran to the shelf, and poured all the Gu After coming out, Gu worms were crawling all over the ground, only around Zhou Tong and the old lady, no Gu worms dared to crawl over.

"Why! Why do people have to die!" The old man shouted hysterically, and he stared at Zhou Tong gloomyly, "It's all you! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have failed!"

He suddenly screamed, the Gu worm that crawled into his clothes bit his blood vessel, and before he knew it, a Gu worm crawled in all the way along the blood vessel, and there were even other Gu worms that bit him directly. It rotted his flesh and got into his internal organs.

The old man fell to the ground and rolled like crazy, crying out for pain.

Zhou Tong covered the sight of the old lady, but the old lady grabbed Zhou Tong's hand, tears overflowed, and begged: "You, can you save him..."

Zhou Tong sighed, and said: "He is bound in a cocoon, I can't save him, at most he can save his whole body."

The old lady looked at Zhou Tong pleadingly, Zhou Tong had no choice but to throw out a talisman to disperse the Gu worms, but the Gu worms that penetrated into the old man's body could not be pulled out.

The old man rolled on the ground and stopped struggling for a long time. He didn't respond for a long time, and died tragically with staring eyes.

Zhou Tong took the old man's blood, lured all the Gu worms together, and burned them all with the Five Thunder Talisman.

He went back to the old lady and held down the pulse in the old lady's neck, where the beating was very slow, and her life was coming to an end.

The old lady hugged the old man's body and said, "Now we go to die together, and you don't have to be afraid of being alone." She looked at Zhou Tong with tears in her eyes and said, "There is a secret passage behind the cabinet, I don't know it's him inside." What are you raising, you are a good boy, so destroy them together."

Zhou Tong nodded, and found a hidden door in the cabinet. He opened the door and walked in. Inside was a damp passage leading to an unknown place.

Zhou Tong lit a fire talisman to illuminate the way ahead, and walked down the moss-covered steps step by step.

Under the steps is a small room, not very big, but larger than the thatched cottage. There are oil lamps hanging on the wall, and when Zhou Tong lights the fire, the small room lights up.

It turned out that there was something dirty in it, and there were photos hanging on the walls on all sides.

When the old man was young, he was a very handsome young man. The photos of participating in activities in Xiangxi, the photos of getting together with friends, and the photos of being with the old lady later, wedding photos, family photos with children, from his teenage photos Up to now, the walls are covered.

It's just that on these photos, he used a red pen to make big crosses on them.

He denied himself his whole life.

There was a table in the middle of the fighter, and several books were stacked on the table. Zhou Tong took it over and saw that they were all about secretaries such as Gu making and resurrection. He had never even heard of some books.Zhou Tong flipped through the book, carefully jotting down his notes and thoughts in the book.

There were still a few sheets of paper on the table. Zhou Tong picked it up and looked at it. There were some lists on it, including daily expenses, and some things used in Gu making.

On the bottom white paper was written a string of phone numbers.

Zhou Tong checked on his mobile phone that the place of ownership is from another place, far in the north, in City C.

What is this person doing with such a distant number?

Zhou Tong was a little puzzled, and after checking in the small room to make sure it was correct, he walked back.

When opening the cabinet door, Ling Yuan said, "Don't."

Zhou Tong's footsteps stopped, he communicated with Ling Yuan, and could clearly feel Ling Yuan's nervousness: "Is there someone outside?"

"En." Ling Yuan said vigilantly, "Be careful."

The cabinet door was ajar, Zhou Tong looked through the gap, and only saw a tall man's back, he was talking on the phone with his back to Zhou Tong, the voice was not too loud, Zhou Tong could just hear clearly.

"Feng Xin died and left his body behind. Go and see his pottery doll—is it cracked? OK, confirm the death."

After he hung up the phone, he threw all the things in his hand on the old bed, a pile of rotten flesh like mud fell out, and there were several covered boxes, from which there were tiny sounds, like insects and ants Like squirming.

The man lit his cigarette and smoked, and said to the old lady: "It seems that his secret technique has also failed, and you won't live long."

The old lady hugged the old man's body and said nothing, as if she didn't hear the man's words.

He didn't say much, and walked past the old lady, and when he went out sideways, Zhou Tong saw his profile.

"Chen En..." The side face was linked to the name in memory, and Zhou Tong looked at the back of Chen En walking out of the hut with a little surprise.

"He has been looking for me for a long time." Ling Yuan said, "For at least five years, that man's anger was not right."

The two were talking, but Chen En set a fire outside. The fire was raging, fueled by the evil wind, and the thatched house was crumbling.

"Oops." Zhou Tong said, he glanced at the old lady, the old lady closed her eyes at this moment, her soul was floating above her body, apparently dead.

The fire spread to the corpses of the two people. In the fire, the burnt smell of the corpses immediately entered Zhou Tong's nostrils, and the choking smell overflowed. Zhou Tong was thinking whether to take out the thatch at the risk of being exposed. house, or retreated to the basement, trying to block the fire out.

Obviously, the first one should be more reliable. Even if such a big fire can't reach the basement, it will turn the basement into a steamer because of the high temperature. He has no plans to be steamed yet.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tong was about to go out, but was stopped by Ling Yuan: "Wait a minute."

"What?" Zhou Tong asked.

"You don't need to go out, this is a common fire, it can't hurt you."

"?" Zhou Tong was still puzzled, but he didn't move after hearing Ling Yuan's words.

The fire engulfed Zhou Tong and engulfed Zhou Tong in the sea of ​​flames, but the flames were blocked by an invisible wall on Zhou Tong's body, and did not hurt Zhou Tong at all, not even the high temperature generated by the flames. It manifested itself in Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong understood.

It was the gauze garment given to him by the female earth fairy.

The thatched house collapsed in the flames, and Zhou Tong walked out of the flames unscathed.

This fire burned everything, including the flowers that buried the corpses, but it couldn't burn the corpses under the soil. Because of the surge of Gu insects, some corpses were lifted out from the soil, exposing stumps and broken legs. .

And the instigator of the incident was burned to nothing, and his soul was about to be detained by Wuchang for committing too many evils, and he went to the Ghost Underworld to atone for his sins.

***

Back in city A, Zhou Tong received a courier as soon as he entered the store. He checked the sender's address, it was the Han family in Nandao, and it was probably something sent by Han Qiqing.

Thinking of Chen En, Zhou Tong didn't care about the courier, turned on the computer and checked the information about Chen En online.

The information on the Internet is pitifully small, and it is completely superficial. He checked the information of Chen En's boss, Zhao Jingshan, and there will be more information, but most of them are his achievements in the mall and some interviews and speeches he gave. programs like this.

With the information of their ordinary people, it is too difficult to check a person, Zhou Tong thought about it, and called Duanzheng.

Zhengzheng has a lot of people in his family and has many ways to go, so it is perfect to ask him to check these things.

As soon as the phone was connected, there was a lot of noise over there, Zhou Tong asked, "What's the matter? Are you eating in the old house?"

"Yeah——" Duanzheng replied in a low voice, "What's the matter, Xiaotong?"

"I need your help with something."

"Oh, it can't be done now." Zhengzheng said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, our old man won't let us do other things."

"Correct! What are you doing? You dare to call before you finish drinking?"

"I know, I know—" Duanzheng raised his voice and shouted, and then said to Zhou Tong, "I'll call you later. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I'll send you mooncakes in time when I go back later!"

"Okay, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

After Zhou Tong hung up the phone, his expression was a little dazed, and he realized that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"The golden phoenix is ​​recommended, the jade dew is cool, the osmanthus is fragrant, and the silver toad is full... to the house like a shop mat, and also to the small platform to arrange family banquets and gather around the children to repay the festival." Zhou Tonglow He read aloud the sentences in Wu Zimu's "Meng Liang Lu", feeling a little disappointed.

He said to Ling Yuan: "When I was young, my dad valued the Mid-Autumn Festival more than birthdays. He said that people in his line of work often hung their heads on their waists to work, and they might die one day. One day is one day.” Recalling the events of his childhood, Zhou Tong smiled, and said full of longing, “He would buy mooncakes filled with red bean paste, be lazy and not make dinner, and sit on the steps in front of the store behind his back to watch the moon. Drink some sweet-scented osmanthus wine..."

"It said it was a little sweet-scented osmanthus wine, but in fact I was only allowed to drink a little bit of it on the chopsticks. I was not in good health at the time, and I couldn't blow the evening breeze. I could only stay outside until I slept on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. The moon was so round."

The phone rang, it was Han Qiqing calling, Zhou Tong answered the phone, Han Qiqing said: "I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

"happy mid-Autumn Festival."

"have you received the mail?"

"Huh?" Zhou Tong recalled the mail he sent, and said, "I received it, but I haven't opened it yet. I've been a little busy recently."

"Pay attention to your body." Han Qiqing said, "It contains moon cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus wine made by our Han family." After a pause, Han Qiqing said embarrassedly, "The wine belongs to my mother, and the taste may not be good."

"Great gift." Zhou Tong said with a smile, "I'll take it apart right away."

The two chatted casually for a few words before hanging up the phone.

Zhou Tong unwrapped the package and divided it carefully into two small packages. One side contained five moon cakes and the other side contained a small bottle of wine. Zhou Tong unplugged the plug and immediately smelled the strong aroma of wine. He took a sip and said: : "It smells so good, do you want to try it too?"

Ling Yuan didn't respond.

Zhou Tong ignored him, opened the shop door, moved a stool and sat at the door, holding a small pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, ate a yolk mooncake, and drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

The Tianyan Town Altar Wood flew over, landed beside Zhou Tong, and rubbed it carefully on Zhou Tong's leg. Zhou Tong spread a piece of paper on the ground and said, "Sit."

Tianyan Town Tanmu lay obediently on the paper and watched the moon with Zhou Tong.

... Where is Ling Yuan?

Zhou Tong still couldn't recall Ling Yuan's memories, and felt a little lost.

Looking at the full moon, he thought of many things about his father, and his memory of Zhou Da has never been so clear. It seems that on this kind of festival, all the plots about family affection become sensitive.

Zhou Tong drank half a jug of wine, but his consciousness was still clear. He sat on a chair and looked up at the round moon in the sky. When he was about to continue drinking, something cold touched his hand.

Zhou Tong turned his head and saw Ling Yuan's serious expression. A very handsome face appeared in front of him in a vague way. His long hair was loose and only held by a hairpin. Some naughty hair was scattered on his temples. A man in a long embroidered robe sat next to him and said to him, "Enough is enough."

"Okay." Zhou Tong let go of his hand compromisingly, allowing Ling Yuan to take away the remaining half pot of wine. Ling Yuan wanted to pour the wine brewed by Han Qiqing on the spot, but when he saw Zhou Tong's shiny He stopped the throwing action with his eyes, suppressed his dissatisfaction and put the cork on the hip flask and put it aside.

Zhou Tong leaned against the door frame, squinted a pair of dark eyes, looked at Ling Yuan with a smile, and said: "People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult in ancient times. I hope that people will live forever and share thousands of miles. moon……"

Ling Yuan: "..."

Ling Yuan turned his head away, not daring to look into Zhou Tong's eyes, he looked up at the moon, and said in a deep voice, "You drink too much."

"?" Zhou Tong was very conscious. Although he didn't drink well, how could he get drunk with that little wine, otherwise he would be really bad...

He wasn't drunk, but he was too tired these two days, so he felt drowsy. Zhou Tong sent a text message to Duanzheng, explained the matter, and then went to bed.

At night, the cold wind blows, the sky is bright and the moon is bright, and there is no shadow of dark clouds at all.

Zhou Tong soon fell into a dream.

But this dream seems to be a little different.

The fire tree and the silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.

The fireworks are all over the sky, but they are small and pitiful, completely different from modern fireworks.

The bluestone slab path was crowded with people, and the girl wearing a skirt was walking through the crowd with a lantern, and the children cheered and got under the skirt, causing a lot of screams.

And he was wearing a white robe, standing at the head of the bridge, his long hair was rolled up and buttoned in a delicate and small crown.

Zhou Tong was in a daze when he was bumped into by someone unexpectedly. When he looked back, someone bowed to him, "Sorry, I was so abrupt."

"No, nothing..." Zhou Tong responded to the man with staring eyes, knowing that this was a dream, but this dream was so realistic...

"Why are you in a daze?" A familiar voice sounded, Zhou Tong followed the sound and saw Ling Yuan in a fine attire walking towards him.

Ling Yuan's facial features are extremely clear, clearer than ever before. His facial features are three-dimensional and handsome, his brows and eyes are as if drawn with a pen, his lips are like dots, and he looks like a gentleman like jade, gentle and elegant.

Zhou Tong asked: "Why do you look different from the last time you showed your body..."

Ling Yuan stared at Zhou Tong for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, suddenly blinked, as if returning to his soul, turned his head and said indifferently: "You really care about a lot."

Zhou Tong: "..."

Ling Yuan flicked his robe sleeves, and walked on Zhou Tong: "Let's go."

Zhou Tong smiled and followed Ling Yuan.

"This is the Mid-Autumn Festival in your era." Zhou Tong looked around curiously and asked.

Ling Yuan nodded, "Yes", "There are a lot of people, don't get lost."

The two passed by a small stall, and the stall owner asked with a smile: "Guest officer, how about some pancakes? They're stuffed with butter! They don't taste good, and you don't need money!"

Ling Yuan glanced at Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong said, "Take two."

"Hey!" The stall owner happily wrapped the pancakes and handed them to Zhou Tong. After Ling Yuan paid, Zhou Tong handed over the pancakes and asked himself, "Do you want to eat?"

Ling Yuan: "..." Ling Yuan stared at the cake without saying a word for a while, at first he couldn't say what he wanted to say if he didn't eat it, and finally he said a very light "um" in a sullen voice.

Zhou Tong shared a small cake with Ling Yuan, and the two handsome young men walked side by side on the street, attracting countless onlookers.They watched the lanterns and looked at the moon all the way, and ate snacks, until suddenly there was a sound of "the tide is rising" in front of them!

The crowd suddenly became crowded. Zhou Tong was still holding a few pieces of cakes in his hands. He was so crowded that he had nowhere to stand when he was suddenly bumped by someone behind him. Zhou Tong almost fell down. Zhou Tong's shoulder lightly brought him aside.

Ling Yuan said with disgust, "Be careful."

"Yeah." Zhou Tong said with a smile, "The pastries are delicious."

Ling Yuan: "...a foodie."

Zhou Tong asked, "What's wrong in front? It's so crowded."

"Watch the tide." Ling Yuan said coldly, he glanced at Zhou Tong's shining eyes, suddenly took Zhou Tong's hand, and flew him into the air.

When that cold hand held him, Zhou Tong was stunned by the real touch. The next moment, his body was lightly lifted up. Ling Yuan took him all the way to the front and landed at the farthest point from the tide watching point. Not far away on the roof.

Zhou Tong sat on the bricks and looked at the surging tide in the distance.

The tide is rolling, and the sound of the waves is endless.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the earth.

Zhou Tong smiled and broke open the last piece of pastry in his hand, and handed it to Ling Yuan: "Have half for you."

Ling Yuan took the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing him eating, Zhou Tong smiled and ate his own piece.

At this moment, the fireworks ignited high, and one after another, they exploded into the night sky.

Zhou Tong raised his brows and eyes, and his dark eyes were full of moonlight. He said softly, "Thank you for accompanying me to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with me."

Ling Yuan: "..."

Ling Yuan said coldly: "Oh."
