405. Chapter 405 The Gravekeeper
Although it was night, the moonlight was particularly good today. The grassland was basically flat, so the car was galloping on the grassland like a wild horse. Shui Miao was not worried about getting lost, anyway, just drive north.
About two hours later, when Shui Miao was a little tired, the headlight suddenly shone on a rock. With a "bang", the wheel of the car jumped over a small stone. Because the car speed was too fast, the whole car almost overturned. Shui Miao was shocked and woke up immediately. He quickly moved his feet together, stepped on the clutch and brakes at the same time. When the car stopped, Shui Miao calmed down and found that the car had been trapped in a pile of rocks, surrounded by stones, and the front of the car almost hit a large stone.
Very dangerous!
Shui Miao, who had just learned to drive, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Suddenly, he found sweat coming out of his palms. Shui Miao knew very well that he was not immortal, he was still a mortal. If he had hit the big rock hard just now, I believe he would definitely be hit and killed.
"It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. After all, I don't have the power to protect myself now." My head was a little dizzy and a vague pain. Shui Miao waited in the car for a while, and when the discomfort was eliminated, he opened the car door. Suddenly, a clear spiritual energy came to his face. Shui Miao was intuition and saw that there were not only many stones, but also many trees in front.
It is still a grassland, but there are many stones of all sizes in this place, and there is a river next to it, some trees, and there is a dark wooden house among the trees.
Is there anyone actually?
Shui Miao was very surprised. There was no cattle, sheep, and livestock nearby. How could there be someone?
The wooden door creaked, and a man opened the wooden door and walked out with a flashlight.
"Who is it?"
Listening to the sound, this is the voice of an old man, obviously not very strong, so he should be an elderly man.
"Oh, hello, it's nothing. I just passed by and accidentally drove the car to the stone. I'll leave immediately..."
Shui Miao quickly got into the car and wanted to pour the car out.
But Shui Miao tried several times in a row, but the car just couldn't start.
"It's a problem now. It seems that I can only stay here for one night."
Shui Miao was depressed when he heard the knock on the door. The old man knocked on the car door twice and said outside the car door: "Young man, why did you drive here in the middle of the night? Where are you going?"
"Oh, uncle, I was sleepy for a moment. I drove the wrong way. If I don't disturb you, you might as well go back to sleep." Shui Miao looked at the old man outside the car window. He was wearing Mongolian clothes and a military green hat, with wrinkles on his face. He looked over 60 years old and had a very kind face.
"Don't disturb me?"
"Haha, you've disturbed me..."
The old man smiled faintly and looked around Shui Miao's car. From time to time, he knocked on the car with a crutch in his hand, and was muttering something in his mouth.
It seemed that the old man was a little angry. Shui Miao opened the car door and got out of the car. He was about to continue to apologize to the old man and explain. Before he could speak, the old man spoke first, "Young man, do you know where this is? Do you know who I am?"
Shui Miao was slightly stunned, "Uncle, I really didn't mean it, I'm so sorry!"
The old man shook his head, "You go and see what is written on the stone in front of the car."
“…”
Hearing this, Shui Miao hurriedly walked towards the car. Although the light was very dark, Shui Miao looked carefully and saw the text on it, "The Tomb of My Father Guo Sanyuan..."
In other words, Shui Miao almost broke the tombstone.
Shui Miao suddenly thought that he couldn't start the car. Could it be that the ghost in the tomb was causing trouble, and he wanted to make things difficult for him?
"Haha, young man, you are very lucky. If you hit the tombstone, you will be in trouble." The old man came to Shui Miao without knowing it. His tone was numb after hearing it.
This matter was indeed a careless person. Apart from apologizing, Shui Miao didn't know what else he could do. "Uncle, I really didn't mean it, right..."
The old man waved his hand and interrupted, "If you sincerely apologize, stay here to do something with me. It only takes three days, only three days."
“…”
Shui Miao suddenly realized that the old man was not simple. In order to verify his judgment, Shui Miao hurriedly said deliberately: "Uncle, I have important things to do..."
"Okay, isn't it okay for you to alarm the heroic spirits of my ancestors?" The old man suddenly started to shout, "Young man, you have to do things with conscience. Everything in this world is relative. If you really want to leave, I won't stop you, but you will definitely pay the price. Don't regret it at that time."
The old man has a very bad temper!
After saying this, the old man headed towards his cabin.
Shui Miao was slightly surprised. Seeing the old man's appearance was very ordinary, he really couldn't imagine what he could do to him if he forced himself to leave?
"Uncle, what can I do for you?"
Anyway, there was no rush, Shui Miao wanted to see what the old man wanted to do.
"Come with me..."
The old man walked into the wooden house without looking back.
The space inside the wooden house is not big, with one bed, two cabinets, and one table. It is very simple and stuffy, but the smell in the wooden house is still very good, and there is no odor at all. Shui Miao knew that under normal circumstances, the place where an elderly person like this must have a strong old man flavor, but there is no smell here. Shui Miao couldn't help but wonder, this old man would be the ghost in the tomb, right?
The old man took out a box of matches and lit the lantern on the table.
He can't be a ghost, how can a ghost light up? Isn't this a joke?
"Sit down."
The old man sat down beside the bed. Shui Miao followed his gesture and saw a small stool under the table. So he took out the stool and sat down. Then he opened the topic and said, "Uncle Guo, are you living here alone?"
"Who told you that my surname is Guo?"
The old man shook his head and sneered, "My surname is Chen, and I am just like you, both of you, who practice Taoism."
"Uncle, how do you know that I am practicing Taoism?" Shui Miao felt more and more that this old man was unfathomable.
The old man bent down and took out an empty bottle and a bowl with a smooth surface under the bed, and said lightly: "It was midnight that the handwriting on the stone was not written in black paint, but just traces. It is difficult for normal people to recognize it by the light, but you can see at a glance, what are you who are not practicing Taoism?"
The bottle is empty.
But the old man poured the empty bottle into the bowl, and poured out a full bowl of water!
"Uncle, you are a paradise!" Shui Miao was surprised, "Awesome, so amazing. Uncle, your Taoism is so high that you actually poured out water from an empty bottle!"
"water?"
The old man shook his head gently and smiled faintly: "That's obviously wine!"
"What……"
Shui Miao didn't smell the smell of wine at all, but after being told by the old man, Shui Miao suddenly smelled the strong smell of wine.
“…”
Shui Miao was stunned for a moment. Is this old man so awesome?
"Do you dare to drink this wine?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Shui Miao strangely.
