I'm dead again [quick time travel]

Qiao Jiu had already walked a few steps ahead, and turned his head again when he heard the movement.

The old man had a treacherous smile on his face.

And Tang Qing stood there with a distraught look on his face.

Qiao Jiu said indifferently: "You have crossed the line."

"I didn't cross the line!" The old man refused to accept the words: "Although I don't know how he became what he is now..."

Before finishing speaking, Qiao Jiu interrupted: "This is not what you want to pay attention to."

"Hi," the old man blew his beard and stared, "You kid!"

Qiao Jiu took out a piece of talisman paper, made a formula, and the talisman paper flew towards Tang Qing.

When it got close, it suddenly burned, and then flew around Tang Qing, and then fell to the ground.

Tang Qing also suddenly woke up.

"Let's go." Qiao Jiu said.

When Qiao Jiu walked up the stairs, before Tang Qing could react, the corpses against the wall had already followed.

Tang Qing: ...

When he was about to go upstairs, he glanced at the old man sitting on the counter again. The old man's head was hanging down, and his posture was very strange, as if his head and body were separated.

Normal people can never do this kind of action.

And the bowl of rice on the far edge of the counter, Tang Qing could even smell the aroma.

I don't know why, but I seem to be even hungrier even after eating a snack.

The last corpse had already reached the second floor. Tang Qing came back to his senses, tried his best to ignore the bowl of rice that seemed to be glowing, and followed.

There is indeed a third floor here.

This realization terrified Tang Qing.

He didn't know why he felt this way.

Qiao Jiu: "Your master should have told you when you went out."

told me what?

Tang Qing was taken aback for a moment, then remembered.

The master told him not to make a fuss about anything he saw, and he had to listen to Qiao Jiu when something happened.

He was very unconvinced at that time, so he automatically ignored it.

Qiao Jiu: "This is Huaiqian. It will be more dangerous to go to Huaizhou, but as long as you obey, you will be fine."

Who do you listen to?I still don't listen to you.

Tang Qing sneered.

With a blank expression on his face, Qiao Jiu pushed open the door.

Tang Qing also walked in at the end.

The room is very large, with two beds, a desk, and nothing else, it looks very empty.

Qiao Jiu sat on the bed inside and watched Tang Qing follow the corpses to the window.

"Tang Qing." He called him: "What are you doing?"

"Huh?" Tang Qing turned his head: "I'll just take a look."

"Oh." Qiao didn't speak for a long time, and lowered his head to organize the things he carried with him.

Tang Qing stood by the window and looked outside.

Looking at it this way, the village is still desolate. Every household is lit with red lanterns, but they can't illuminate anything. Under the reflection of the night, they look even more eerie, like terrifying eyes.

The crows kept ringing, and Tang Qing could clearly see countless crows parked on the roofs of every household.

In the blink of an eye, they all looked over.

Then came the wah-wah sound one after another.

Qiao Jiu behind him said, "Go to bed early."

"it is good."

Qiao Jiu lay on the bed and soon fell asleep, with a piece of talisman paper under his body, trembling slightly, wondering if it was Tang Qing's illusion, he felt that the corpses by the wall were standing straighter.

He walked towards the bed, but was horrified to find that his feet didn't listen to him at all, no matter how hard he tried to move, he couldn't move a step.

His body became stiff, and he turned his head slowly, looking at the corpses standing in a row.

Qiao Jiu fell into a deep sleep.

A night without dreams.

When I woke up in the morning, it was already light, but there was no sun.

Qiao Jiu sat up and saw Tang Qing standing by the window, as if he had been standing for a long time.

Qiao Jiu frowned: "Tang Qing?"

The man turned his back to him and remained silent.

"Tang Qing?"

"Huh?" Tang Qing turned around: "What's wrong?"

"You stood all night?"

"No," Tang Qing shook his head with a natural expression: "Let me see why the sun is still out."

Qiao Jiu scanned him around, found nothing wrong, so he looked away.

"There is no sun in front of Huaihuai."

"What about Huaizhou?"

"There are in Huaizhou." Qiao Jiu put on his shoes and said, "Let's go."

"I haven't washed my face yet..."

"Go down and wash."

"it is good."

Qiao Jiu glanced at him and was a little curious in his heart why he had such a good attitude today.

"What are you looking at me for?" Tang Qing asked.

"It's all right."

There is no sun in front of Huaihuai.

There is only a sky with dark clouds forever, and a silent night.

The store owner has already got up and is fetching water.

Only then did Tang Qing discover that there was still a well here, but it was blocked by grass, and it was dark when he came last night, so he didn't see it.

The boss was fetching water, and pulled the rope to lift the wooden bucket up: "Get up."

is a declarative sentence.

Qiao Jiu nodded.

"You guys wash up first," the boss said, "I'll cook."

"Okay, trouble."

Washing up was really simple, I simply wiped my face, and then Qiao Jiu folded a wicker for Tang Qing.

Tang Qing was startled suddenly, he clearly remembered that he hadn't seen this willow tree just a second ago, but now it really suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He settled down and looked around carefully, only to find that there were really many things around him that he hadn't noticed before.

An old well, a sturdy willow tree, and not far away there is a dilapidated table and a stool stained with grass.

"Let's go." While Tang Qing was in a daze, Qiao Jiu had already brushed his teeth.

"Oh," Tang Qing said, "you go first, I will come later."

Qiao Jiu paused, looked up, his pretty eyes were full of desolation: "Then hurry up."

Tang Qing heard what he meant. If he had been angry before, he would have gotten angry on the spot, but at this moment, for some reason, his anger was extinguished before it gathered.

Before he could figure it out, Qiao Jiu had already turned around and left.

Tang Qing looked at his back, and started to follow him. After walking a few steps, he realized that he hadn't brushed his teeth yet, and stopped again.

When Qiao Jiu entered the room, the old man was sitting on the counter and dozing off. Qiao Jiu walked over and tapped on the table lightly.

"Oh, it's time to eat." The old man rubbed his eyes: "Wait a minute."

After talking, I went to the back kitchen again.

Qiao Jiu stood in front of the counter, looking at the things on it.

An abacus covered with dust, an old ledger whose cover could no longer be seen, and a brush stained with ink.There is no ink and no inkstone.

There is also an incense burner on the edge of the counter.

The old man came out with two bowls of noodles, and his steps were a little unsteady. Seeing Qiao Jiu looking around, he showed a smiling face: "You kid..."

Qiao Jiu turned around: "Why are there so many incense ash?"

The old man replied: "It's deadly..."

Qiao Jiu stretched out his hand to take the noodle bowl in his hand.

"You kid," the old man let go, "you have nothing to say?"

Qiao Jiu put the noodle bowl on the table without looking back, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"laugh."

"Are you eating noodles again today?" Tang Qing stood on the stairs, frowning and looking at the noodles on the table.

The old man snorted.

Qiao Jiu sat down calmly: "Eat."

"You gave me a bowl of rice." Tang Qing drooped his head, weakly.

After Qiao Jiu finished his meal, the bowl in front of Tang Qing was still full and he didn't take a bite.

Qiao Jiu glanced at him, and he said, "I brought food."

He did bring food, but not much, and he didn't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that this place was weird.

This place is indeed strange.

The lantern had already been extinguished, and it was turned on again at night, but during the whole day, he didn't even see a single person except Qiao Jiu and the dozing old man in front of him.

The whole village is not popular at all.

He asked Qiao Jiu when he was leaving.

"Tomorrow." Qiao Jiu looked along the window, his eyes didn't know where he fell: "The fog hasn't cleared yet."

Tang Qing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Qiao Jiu stared for a while, but he didn't say anything.

Qiao Jiu was curious: "Did the temple master say anything to you?"

"No," Tang Qing shook his head: "He only said to let me follow you well."

Qiao Jiu lowered his eyes: "Yes."

Then he went to meditate, leaving Tang Qing standing alone.

In addition to meditating, Qiao Jiu also had to draw talismans. Along the way, the talisman papers on the corpses were changed almost every day. After reaching Huaiqian, they had to be changed twice a day. Many talisman papers are suppressed.

Besides, this journey will not always be so safe.

The preparations that should be made should be done well in advance.

Qiao Jiu drew the talisman very quickly. Tang Qing stood aside, with light shining in his eyes. This was the first time he saw Qiao Jiu draw the talisman. The movements of his hands did not stagnate in the slightest, and they were done in one go. He also knew at this moment that he understood what the master said What does genius mean.

Such Qiao Jiu, with focused eyes, even if he couldn't see his face, was admirable.

He thought of what he had done, and felt a little ashamed in his heart.

Of course, Qiao Jiu didn't know what he was thinking.

He just concentrated on looking at the talisman paper under his hand, his hand was terribly steady, from the first stroke to the last stroke, it was almost perfect.

Sorry, I thought there were still manuscripts left, so I didn't post new ones, I just found out.
