Chapter Ninth: The Jade Talisman Pointing to One's Life Experience(1/2)
The look that Acheng just looked at me was still vivid in his eyes. I felt that something was scared about me, but it was as if I had stored that memory in my mind, but I couldn't find it for a while... I didn't understand why I cared so much about his look.
Suddenly, a shaking footsteps came from outside the door. I turned around and found that peanuts were supporting the wall, leaning there strangely.
"What happened?" Peanut asked.
"What's wrong with you? What about the others?" I asked back.
"It's okay, we were given a secret medicine. Qin Feng and Fatty are all fine." Peanut said, shook his head hard again, and then stood up straight.
I nodded after hearing this, but suddenly realized that Peanut's words were wrong. Qin Feng and Fatty were fine, "What about my dad?"
Seeing the peanuts shook their heads at me, I then took a step forward, ran out of the morgue, and ran to the second floor. The lights in the hospital were on, and as soon as I entered, I saw that the sickness was empty. My father was gone, but the ropes were still tied tightly to the **.
Qin Feng sat on the chair next to him, rubbing his face hard, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
I stepped forward to support Qin Feng, and at this time, Peanut also returned to the ward.
"Why is my dad missing?" I asked.
Peanut looked around, "Tell me first what you saw below?"
So, I told Peanut about what I encountered. At the end, Peanut's expression turned into dead silence again. "It really turned out like this..."
"Peanut, what's going on?" I asked loudly.
Peanut made it and lit a cigarette for himself, "The curse in Huanxue Forbidden City will not let that person die. Death is too cheap. That curse will pester the other party for generations, making him worse than death, and he will not be able to die. However, some worse situations have happened to Yuan Long, he... is the next one, Wang..."
When I heard the last word, I couldn't help but tremble, "What did you say? Dad is, is the next one, king?"
"Yes, he was induced to be astonishingly fast, and even the blood on your body could not suppress that change." Peanut continued, "I thought things would not be so bad, but now it seems that it is impossible to be wrong."
"But, how did you see it?" I asked.
"The 'dark' you see is actually the king. Yuan Long's body was cursed by the Forbidden City of Huanxue, so it could no longer be used. According to the usual situation, the king would choose another person. This time, the king did the same, but at the same time, he took Yuan Long's body and memory away. The Acheng who finally left the morgue was actually a person who brought the King's memory, your father's memory, and reshaped the body of Acheng... Wang."
Peanut’s words made me feel too mysterious, “The king’s ability, dad’s brain, Acheng’s body… No wonder I felt that Acheng’s eyes were so inconsistent at that time. Now I understand that it was because on Acheng’s face, the expression and eyes of Dad appeared, and the aura on his body even overshadowed the feeling that Peanut gave me.”
Peanut continued, "When the king is in my body, it shows blue. That's because the fusion between us is not complete, but if it turns completely black, it means that the king has reached a limit now, and he, Yuan Long, and Acheng have perfectly merged and become a person."
I couldn't believe all this, but when faced with the situation in front of me, I had to believe it.
"So now, is that person still my father?" I asked again.
"I don't know what kind of situation will be like after the absolute fusion, but I'm afraid Yuan Long's consciousness still dominates." Peanut said, "and this is exactly what I worry about the most."
"Why?" When I heard this, I felt a little grateful. If the person's mind was still in his mind, then I would at least be a little better, because my father didn't actually die.
"If Yuan Long's consciousness is in charge, then what he would use that power to do while following the Wang Te surname is impossible to predict. Yuan Long is too smart, and what he has always wanted to do is to find out all the truth behind the Daluo Feng Shui Bureau. In the past, all his behaviors were still bound, and a person's ability was limited. No matter how smart he was, he could not compete with Daluo Feng Shui. But now it is different. Yuan Long and Daluo Feng Shui are comparable to each other. I am afraid that no one in this world can stop him from doing anything."
"Then we have to find Daddy Peanuts quickly. What do you think Daddy will do the first thing he will do now?" I asked.
But Peanut didn't answer me again, and I suddenly remembered, "Oh, then, what do you mean, my dad, uh, Wang, um, then, what's going to come to you next?"
My father and the others said before that once a new king appears, the first person to be found is the exile. But he would never have thought that the king would be himself.
Peanut nodded, "His consciousness is not fully awake yet. After a while, he will definitely come to me."
"Then, you think you can handle it..." I felt wrong again. Some of the man now is actually my father, so no matter who can compete with him, it is not a good thing for me.
Peanut smiled, "I will hide very far and try to prevent him from finding it."
But I felt it was inappropriate, "It's better to stay with us. If it's like you said, maybe my dad can still listen to what we are saying, wouldn't he be aware of it?"
"It is precisely because of consciousness that he will attack me more happily. When the monster appeared, I also did the same thing to their Yuan family. That situation is not something that consciousness can make the decision." Peanut continued, "Now Wang has all the memories of Yuan Long. I can't stay where the Yuan family can find me."
"But you won't leave now." I thought for a while, "Why would you better follow the fat man and find a place to hide. Didn't he say he would go back to his hometown to help me connect my fingers? Don't worry about that much, just go to his house to avoid it."
After I finished speaking, Peanut did not express his opinion, but as long as this person didn't tell me no in person, he basically agreed.
Speaking of this, I felt a little tired, so I sat down and lit a cigarette. After calming down a little, the aftertaste of the whole thing made me feel a little creepy.
I believe what Peanut said, especially when Acheng looked at me in the morgue, which made me more convinced that my father lived in that body. But no matter what, the old man was no longer there. Even if I could understand these, what should Qin Feng do? What should I do with the Yuan family? Will you directly think that my father is dead?
In the past twenty or thirty years, under the leadership of my father, the Yuan family has quickly risen on the road and become one of the most upstream tomb robbers in China. But today, it seems that it is coming to an end.
Suddenly, I thought of a very important question.
Although my father kept saying that I was my own son, I was not. The Yuan family of such a big one could not place everything on someone like me who is actually a foreigner. My father had said before that in order to achieve that goal, he dared to kill his wife, which means that my father should still have a personal life. More importantly, no matter how important my father's plan is, once the Yuan family is exchanged later, I believe that the second uncle and the others will not agree. Therefore, the Yuan family should have reservations.
I think there are two possibilities. One is that my father and a son are just hiding outside. The other is that the second or third uncle have descendants and have never told anyone.
I always felt strange before, why are the second uncle and third uncle both old, but I have never seen their wives and children. As soon as I asked, the third uncle told me that he had a surname of Tian**, oh no, then, the surname of Tian**, doesn't like to tie his wife and children, and the second uncle is similar. I didn't care much before, but at that time, I was very fond of all my favors, so of course I wouldn't think about these things, but now that things have come to this point, I think this is too strange.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that there are still too many things that cannot be said between me and the Yuan family. But I am naive and think that my family should be talking about everything. It doesn’t matter if my personal secrets are concerned, but at least the family’s major affairs cannot be concealed from my family.
After thinking for a while, I decided to leave here early tomorrow morning. I, Peanut, Fatty, bought air tickets directly to Yanjing. Qin Feng said before that whenever something happened to my father, he would follow me and treat me as a master as if he was to my father. Thinking about this person's surname, I think he would definitely come to me, so everyone could just leave together. I have heard before that Qin Feng and the Yuan family have a very weak relationship. He is just very loyal to my father, and he loves the house and the Wu, so he becomes the number one partner of the Yuan family. Now that my father has something to do, the Yuan family has nothing to nostalgic for him.
I always think that Qin Feng is a capable person but lacks goals and guidance. If my father had not taken the role, I would not know what Qin Feng would look like now. And I don’t know whether I can be competent for the role in his heart and lead him all the way.
But no matter what, if you have one more Qin Feng, we all will be more comfortable when dealing with emergencies. Not long after, Qin Feng finally spoke.
I believe that I don't need to say anything more to him, and everyone can guess what he would say. Peanut and I first fed him a glass of tap water. When he was almost recovering, I told him the matter bit by bit.
"What? Master has become Acheng..." Qin Feng didn't recall the smell for a long time after hearing this, so I could only continue to explain to him. When Qin Feng began to understand these things, the fat man also walked over from the ward on the other side in a daze.
After a few people decided to find out that Acheng must have been tampered with the food that Peanut and the other three had eaten. Unfortunately, Acheng was just a doctor, and he could not have thought about what we had experienced or faced.
"Since that's the case, I think we'll just leave here tonight. Urumqi City is such a big place, so there's no place to rest." The fat man said, "I won't talk about our brother's safety now. I'm afraid that when the Yuan family comes back, Yuan Jie, you can't control yourself and change your mind or something."
The fat man patted me, "Don't worry, even if we don't have the backer of the Yuan family, we are still standing up. Let's go back to Yanjing and get your hands done first, and then ask about those things while trying to make a living." The fat man seemed quite excited, "I don't like to turn around and beat around. I think with the ability of the four of us, the harvest will definitely be much worse than that of those big families. Although Yuan Jie was a little bit shattered, it doesn't matter. We are ready to have a knife at any time. When encountering a critical moment, slap him on his body and get some blood off, and everything will be done."
The fat man's skill in damaging me still did not weaken. After everyone joking for a while, they packed up their things and prepared to leave the hospital. When they all walked to the hospital door, I suddenly remembered the surveillance video on the computer.
I stopped quickly and took everyone back to the monitoring room. When I wanted to find the video for a few people to watch, I found that the computer could not be turned on.
"It's broken?" I thought to myself that it wasn't that fast. Qin Feng took out the chassis directly, pulled it open, and I was stunned.
"Me, why is this... hard drive gone?" I thought to myself, was it that when we were experiencing those things just now, this ghost place was still thieves? Isn't this bullying my colleagues?
"Hey, there is still a photo here." Qin Feng said, then took out a five-inch photo from the chassis, "It's still a woman..."
"Ah? Show me." The fat man became energetic and snatched the photo from Qin Feng's hand. After taking a look, the fat man's mouth turned tilted, "I'll go, it's her!"
"Which she? She was shocked."
The fat man gave me a blank look and put the photo directly in front of me, "Besides your old love, who else is the one who is so good at it?"
As soon as I saw the woman in the photo, I immediately stared at me. "Zhuge Xuan!"
How could it be her? Peanut told me that Zhuge Xuan had contact with the eldest girl, and she might know about our trip to Xikunlun.
"That means, Zhuge Xuan has been following us all the time?" I picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. The most depressing thing is that the background of this photo is this monitoring room. Zhuge Xuan seems to like taking selfies, with a 45-degree angle upwards, putting her hand on her lips and pouting her mouth, looking quite cute. She took the photo over, and there were a few words written on it at the back:
"See you in Yanjing, whoa."
I was both happy and speechless by Zhuge Xuan's sudden cuteness. The fat man shouted outside: "I'll go back to Yanjing and see how we deal with you little girl."
Helplessly, I could only walk out and tell Peanuts and the others what I saw in the video. But it was obvious that if I said this, they would not be able to understand the specific situation of the shadow at that time. And at the moment we were talking about, we had already wandered around these alleys for several times. Although I was so scared before with Peanuts and the others, this trip was still upset.
When we saw the street lights in the city, it was already past three o'clock in the morning. We quickly found a hotel to stay, ordered some takeout, and then washed and went to bed. It was the third afternoon when we returned to Yanjing.
Peanut once said that he could not go anywhere my father had memories. So the fat man took him back to the store in the thrift market. I planned to go home to pack up my things, so Qin Feng left with me.
I haven't come back for a while, and the door of my house has been completely dusty. When I opened the door and entered, Qin Feng took beer from the refrigerator. I was about to push open the door of my bedroom, but at some point, Qin Feng suddenly came behind me and grabbed me.
I wanted to ask him what was wrong, so Qin Feng made a silent gesture at me, then reached out and pointed to the wooden floor.
I won’t say much about the climate of Yanjing. When I left, I forgot to close the windows tightly. The dust on the ground is already very thick. Just on the floor that Qin Feng pointed to me, we saw a few clear footprints, and I was not wearing any shoes. The footprints were obvious and I knew that they had just stepped on them. In other words, someone had come to my room, and even... that person had not left yet.
All rooms in the room except the door of my bedroom were open. At the same time, we looked at the door vigilantly, as if we were looking at someone.
I thought to myself, could my father go back to Yanjing too? No, that footprint is not my father's, it's a size smaller.
"Who?" After waiting for a while, Qin Feng shouted directly at the door.
There was no movement in the room, but we still didn't dare to push the door open immediately. After waiting for three or five minutes, my nerves were almost relaxed, suddenly someone spoke behind the door.
"It's amazing enough, Qin Feng, no wonder Yuan Long wants to raise a dog like you."
The sound was very small through the wooden door, but I could still hear that the man was talking like a fish bone stuck in his throat.
"Hmph, from your tone, I'm also a person on the Tao, why? Are you afraid of being too embarrassed?" Qin Feng said.
"Haha, you've just got it right, I really can't stand it." The man smiled and continued, "Push open the door. If you want to plot, you two will die in the living room long ago."
I looked at Qin Feng, and Qin Feng signaled me to retreat, and then he slowly moved over, held the door handle, and pushed the wooden door open.
The moment the door opened, I heard a crisp ringtone coming from the room, and then a figure sitting in a wheelchair appeared in our eyes.
The windows in the bedroom were turned off and the lights were not turned on. Although it was afternoon, it looked so gloomy and scary. I never knew that my bedroom had such a side.
The man's facial features were blocked by the shadows, but the person standing bells standing beside him and the big fan with bells on his head made Qin Feng and I feel extremely familiar with each other.
"Old thief Sima?" Qin Feng said.
"Why did you come to my house?"
On the wheelchair, Sima Laozhe slowly crossed his hands and on the back of his white hands, I saw that his nails were so sharp that they seemed to reflect cold light.
"Elder comes to your house to sit, you should be more respectful. After a while, the eldest son of the Yuan family, why are you disabled?" Sima Laozi smiled, "So, things come at a price. Yuan Long has an amazing finger, but in the end, his son's fingers are gone. You said... Is your Yuan family retribution?"
"Stop talking nonsense, what are you looking for me for?" Qin Feng took a step forward.
"Of course I'm here to get my stuff." said Sima Laozhe. "Yuan Long had promised me before that at the end of the year, he would give me something with the map of mountains and rivers hidden in the four directions. I thought about it and it would be better to get it by myself."
To be continued...
