Various

The night before I leave, I am destined to have no sleep,

Like a resentful woman in a boudoir, I faced the dark woods outside the window and complained to myself for most of the night. Then I called my dad and talked for a long time like I was having a fit.

In fact, we, father and son, are naturally incompatible with each other. We only see each other at home three times a day, and our conversations are usually along the lines of "Dad, I've finished eating, you eat slowly."

Occasionally, my dad gets a whim and thinks about using his life experience to help me clarify my future direction, but the results are mostly unsatisfactory. Most of the time, he slaps the table and glares, revealing his identity as a father to punish me.

At this time, we talk surprisingly much, and we go back and forth over old accounts. Even when I was a kid, he licked off most of my bunch of candied haws in one go, which finally made me cry. Father and son

The two of them were laughing and cursing on the phone, but while they were laughing and laughing, I covered my face and cried for no reason, as if the emotion was not my own. It came out of nowhere. My dad didn't say anything, and just listened quietly on the phone.

There I was, a young man in his twenties, howling.

This may be the gentlest aspect of being a father.

I know very well in my heart that I am afraid. The fear of death is a person's instinct. Even if I have never enjoyed wealth and my life is as low as an ant, I am still full of attachment to this world. Ping Anan has grown so big,

To be honest, I haven't suffered at all. It's just that I am always complaining about the unfair fate like an angry young man. In the final analysis, it is still the greed in my heart that is at work. I have experienced great changes in the past few days, and all kinds of negative things have been

I have been saving up in my heart, but now it’s finally time to face it and settle the matter. The flash flood finally broke out.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

I also sobbed all night long. No matter how much pent-up emotions I had in my heart, I had almost released them. I glanced at the rising sun and silently told myself that life must go on. I still have to struggle for my life, and then

I said goodbye to my dad and then hung up the phone.

I don't have many things. Apart from the string of wind chimes and the Tianguan Blade, I only have a Feng Shui compass. Seeing that Zhang Xinya and the others are all big and small, I was really embarrassed in the end and took the initiative to ask for work from my master. My master gave it to me.

I have a lot of dry food, mostly compressed biscuits and dried beef. I have packed it into a large backpack and can carry it on my back before going out.

Zhang Xinya and the others had already gathered in the yard, stuffing one big backpack after another into the car. When they saw me coming out, they greeted me, and the five of them got in the car and set off.

I didn't sleep all night, but the journey was far away, so it was a good time for me to catch up on some sleep. Not long after I got in the car, I fell into a drowsy sleep. In the words of my master, I encountered ghosts and makeup, which damaged my vitality. The longer the days go by, the worse the situation will be.

The worse it gets, no matter how strong your body is, it can turn you into a sick man. Lethargy is so normal, and coupled with the sleepiness, you sleep like a dead pig, and you forget about time and everything else.

"Hey, big brother, wake up!"

I don’t know how long it took, but I felt someone pushing me. I was still mumbling a little, but then a loud roar rang out in my ears: “Something big has happened!!”

I lost all sleep in an instant, and just like clockwork, I sat up straight, opened my eyes and asked, "What happened?"

"Hey, it seems that you also know that this is a head-in-the-belt business..."

Lao Bai, who was sitting next to me, looked at me sideways and said angrily: "Brothers came all the way here to beg you for help. You're good, sleeping comfortably. My shoulders are dripping with tears."

.”

I glanced at his shoulder subconsciously, but no, it was all my saliva, and it was almost wet to my chest. I felt a little embarrassed for a moment, scratched my head, and was about to say hello to Zhang Xinya and the others, when I noticed that regardless of

Is it Zhang Xinya, Zhang Daoxuan, or Brother Yaozi? The three of them have very solemn expressions.

Something really happened?

I rubbed my eyes hard and looked out the window. The setting sun was already hanging on the top of the mountain, and it was about to get dark. The surrounding mountains were covered with rays of light. I was already in the Luliang Mountains, and now I was in a valley.

There are mountains on both sides.

I remember that this road was the only way to get to the tomb. It was the only way to drive in this valley. It was full of low grass and trees. It took a long walk to get there!

"How did you end up here?"

This is my first thought.

Although the journey from Taiyuan to here is long, it only takes about seven or eight hours. We set off early in the morning and were supposed to arrive at two or three o'clock, but now it is getting dark soon, and we are still far away from the tomb.

"Why can't you get out?"

No one paid attention to me. In the huge carriage, only Zhang Xinya was talking to herself. This girl drove all the way with bloodshot eyes. She stared straight ahead, as if she was possessed. She gritted her teeth and blasted hard.

He pressed the accelerator and entered the valley.

The surrounding vegetation flew before our eyes, and soon we passed through the valley.

Just when I was filled with doubts, I suddenly saw another dark pass appearing in front of me, and my pupils shrank sharply for a moment!

We are back!!

The same valley, I can't mistake it, is the one we just passed through, and now we appear at the mouth of the valley again.

"Stop the car!"

Zhang Daoxuan waved his hand and said softly: "This is already the fourth time. There is no need to try again. We have been tricked!"

I have roughly understood the situation, and my heartbeat is uncontrollably accelerating. Counting this time, I have walked this road three times. The first two times were very safe. Why did something happen this time?

Could it be that... that tomb is getting worse now?

But it’s not like, it’s at least an hour’s journey from here to that place on the mountain road!

"Is it because ghosts are attacking the wall?"

Somehow, I had this idea.

Needless to say, the so-called ghosts hitting the wall are often encountered in deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night. They circle around a place continuously until dawn. Scientists say it is the circular motion of living things. People say that wild ghosts are causing trouble at that time.

"It's just a trick. No clown would do such a trick in front of people like us. It's no different from seeking death."

Brother Yaozi said expressionlessly: "Moreover, the ghosts are hitting the wall and turning in circles. We are walking in a straight line. It's broad daylight. What kind of wall can we hit? This kind of ghost trick relies on the mountains and terrain. It's confusing to the eyes. You can see everything in broad daylight."

I know clearly that I can’t pull this trick.”

I glanced at the master. He was looking around expressionlessly, sometimes looking at the mountains around him, sometimes at the valley ahead. He had no idea for a long time.

"Hey, it's not that troublesome. I'm here to ask for directions!"

Lao Bai waved his hand, then opened the car window, put two index fingers into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and blew, a loud whistle sounded in the valley, and soon after, a house sparrow flew out of the forest.

, actually got directly through the car window, fell directly into the palm of Lao Bai's hand, and screamed at Lao Bai.

The amazing thing is that Lao Bai also curled his tongue and let out bursts of bird songs. He was coming and going with the house sparrows, which was very lively.

"Is he talking to a bird?"

My eyes widened with curiosity on my face, attracted by such magical means.

"You're talking to the birds."

My master smiled and patiently explained my doubts: "Nan Wen and Bei Wu are the biggest features of Xuanmen. There are many talented people in the south, who are proficient in all kinds of things. They are good at all kinds of ingenious and obscene techniques. They are familiar with deceitful ways. Their methods are mysterious and unpredictable.

Imagine that there are many warriors in the north, who are capable of lifting mountains and are extremely brave, just like water and fire, with distinct characteristics. Lao Bai is the best among the capable men and strangers in the south, and you, Brother Yaozi, are the bravest among the warriors in the north.

.”

I listened with rapt attention, and my master also took this opportunity to tell me some of these strange things.

The multifarious he said did not refer to the numerous and unpredictable things, but to some occupations in ancient times, such as Wuhua, which in ancient times referred to the five types of people: tea sellers, hermits, singers, jugglers, and porters.

The eight categories of people refer to the eight types of people: gold, skin, color, hanging, commenting, tuan, diiao, and willow. Most of them make a living by talking.

"Don't underestimate these people. They are all kinds of traffickers and lackeys... Hey, they are very capable!"

My master smiled and said: "In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and there were many poor mountains and swamps, which were extremely dangerous. You can't imagine what these people who had no fixed place and were wandering around looking for a living had to face. The beasts in the mountains, the demons and the devils, they had no ability to jump around.

Within a few days, everyone has their own special skills, and there are always some methods that you can't imagine. For example, Lao Bai's ability to talk to animals is the skill of the native cowboy porters in Wuhua, which is called traveling in the mountains to ask for directions."

I regained my energy and forgot about my current embarrassing situation, so I quickly asked: "Lao Bai still knows these methods, are there still these people today?"

"have!"

Without waiting for my master to speak, Brother Yaozi took over. This is a relatively boring person on weekdays. He stretched out his rough big hand and patted my shoulder and said: "Jingzhe, you and Er Yatou are good friends. You just joined this company."

Okay, there are a few words I have to warn you. In this industry, you must never judge people by their appearance. If you treat people based on their high status, you will suffer big losses. For example, the various types my uncle mentioned are indeed still there, but they are no longer the bottom of the market.

, but talented people and strangers who travel around.

When you go out in the future, if you encounter a tea-picking girl carrying a basket to pick tea, a barber carrying a barber in the countryside, or a red-boat singing girl and prostitute on the Qinhuai River, you must be cautious and don't let it happen.

People were harmed.

In short, in today’s society, anyone who is still doing those ancient trades must not be offended easily, because you never know what the seemingly down-and-out opponent can do!”

I could see that what Brother Yaozi said was a sincere warning to me. He and I were strangers. Even if he said this to me because of the face of my master and Zhang Xinya, it was out of absolute good intentions. He could not ignore it at all.

As he said that, I felt a little less afraid of him for a while, and nodded quickly.

"For example, he..."

Brother Yaozi suddenly glanced at Lao Bai who was talking to Jia Que'er, curled his lips and said: "This is a powerful character. His parents died when he was thirteen years old. He wore a tattered suit of his father's and went out to hang out in the society. That suit

They were all so droopy that their legs were bent, but they were unambiguous at all. I worked as a turtle man on a prostitute boat on the Qinhuai River. He carried the young girl on his neck to the guests, jumped bow and stern, and practiced good water skills.

Kasama's ability was also influenced by his knowledge, and he followed the barber everywhere to shave people's heads, but what he learned was not the ability to change fortunes such as shaving the head, but shaving the vagina...

Hey, in short, don’t underestimate this person. He came out to study crafts at the age of thirteen and became successful at the age of thirty. In seventeen years, he followed all kinds of masters and learned countless crafts!"

I was speechless and it was eye-opening. When I looked at Lao Bai, his eyes were different. It turned out that he was a big celebrity!

At this time, Lao Bai seemed to have finished questioning the bird, and then pinched the bird's butt hard.

This is an animal, so it doesn't miss a single bird, which makes the old nose strong. I almost pinched the feces out of that bird at once, and it screamed and flew away in panic.

go out.

And Lao Bai sniffed his hand in a perverted way, and then said with a smile: "The little mouth is so sweet, but the butt is a little small, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it."

This is probably the legendary man who doesn't even let the birds go. I quickly stayed away from him. In short, his image in my heart has been completely destroyed. I also heard that he knows so many weird ways. This kind of person

Who dares to provoke him? He has absolutely no lower limit!

After being perverted, Lao Bai seemed to be enjoying himself very much. He sniffed hard and then said to us: "Now that we have found out the matter, we are unlucky and we are in big trouble!"
