There are many moments in this world that make people feel alive, and everyone's definition of alive is different.

Some people are alive, but they are dead; some people are dead, but they are still alive.

Looking at the fan spinning constantly on the ceiling, I didn't know whether I was dead or alive.

"Wake up! Wake up! Doctor! Doctor!".

This voice full of surprise and vitality was very familiar, and the sound of the man's running footsteps gradually gave me a sense of reality, but I was still not sure whether I was alive or dead. After all, I had the same experience before.

Pass.

After a while, my sight was crowded with people, including men and women, and two people wearing glasses. One of them reached out and rolled my eyelids, then took out a small pocket flashlight and pierced it with a light source.

Got into my right eye.

"General Zhao Fei, General Zhao Fei, can you hear me? General Zhao Fei?"

The man said and patted my face gently.

This scene is actually very familiar. By the way, I have seen it before when watching movies. It seems to be the lines and actions of doctors when asking patients.

I suddenly felt a little happy.

"General Zhao Fei, can you hear me? If you can hear me, blink."

"Ah, he blinked! He blinked!"

"Young general, my good grandson, you are finally awake! Wow, you entered the hospital before your grandpa woke up. You two are going to kill me!"

The joy, doubt, confusion, grievance and other emotions in my heart were condensed into a simple feeling, happiness.

For me, this is life because I feel happy.

I really want to throw myself into my grandma's arms and cry like I did when I was little, but now I just need to hear her voice, and that's enough.

"Huha~ah~"

Even the ghost girl's voice sounded much more pleasant now.

"Hey, you guy can sleep better than a pig. My aunt has been waiting for you for five days, five days! Do you know how I spent these five days?! You are still laughing? You are laughing your ass off... Hahaha...

…”

This girl actually laughed at the end of the sentence. It was obvious that she laughed happier than me.

Because I had just woken up and my injuries were relatively serious, I couldn't move or speak, so I could only listen quietly to everyone talking. My grandma said that when I was sent to the hospital, I was covered in blood and my shoulders were bloody.

Even the bones were exposed, and there was a purple-black wound on the waist. The whole person looked like he had fought with some ferocious beast.

Fortunately, despite the excessive blood loss, I still had a heartbeat and breathing. After nearly an hour of rescue efforts by the doctor, my life was finally snatched from the hands of death.

After I was discovered by Mrs. Liu, I notified the villagers to call the police and send me to the hospital. Brother Shuanzi kept exaggerating the terrifying atmosphere when he discovered me.

"A Fei, you are such a god. Why did you go to the branch secretary's graveyard at night? You even met a wild wolf. If I go, the branch secretary's grave has been dug up, and both hands of the corpse have been chewed off.

...hiss~"

The ghost girl and I smiled knowingly, there was no wild wolf anywhere, but it was okay, it saved me the trouble of explaining to him about Taotie. Since I am still alive, it means that Taotie should have been eliminated for some reason.

?Thinking of this, I finally felt a lot relieved.

"Pfft, this guy is really funny. Forget it, let me tell you what happened after you passed out that night."

The ghost girl spoke in great detail, so naturally I listened very carefully.

It turns out that that night five days ago, after Taotie broke the ghost girl's mirror spell, Tie Tong was able to escape, but was blinded by the "moon" she artificially created. Out of resentment, she could only kill me to vent her anger.

And when it jumped on my back, I just couldn't hold it on and passed out. At that time, the ghost girl had already accepted her fate and was waiting to die with me.

Seeing that the little boy was about to kill someone and take out his heart, a round light and shadow suddenly appeared in the sky! Tiotong's fear of the sun and moon is innate and indelible, so he felt the "moon" appear again in the sky, and it appeared again.

He didn't dare to blame me, so he ran away before he could even attack me, leaving only me half-dead and a gluttonous corpse in a similar condition to me.

As for the person who rescued me, it turned out to be Mrs. Liu.

The ghost girl said that after the little kid escaped, a figure staggered out of thin air. She could see clearly that it was Zhang Tuo. And he looked like he had been injured by someone, and he looked at me complicatedly.

He glanced at the gluttonous corpse and fled in a hurry.

Then Mrs. Liu slowly emerged from the darkness and stayed next to the Taoist Corpse for a long time before sighing and destroying the Taoist Corpse.

I asked her how the gluttonous corpse was eliminated, and she said that Mrs. Liu obviously came prepared. She brought a small bottle of chicken blood and a palm-long peach wood sword, and sealed the mouth, eyes, and three orifices of the gluttonous corpse with the chicken blood.

The sword penetrated the heart and sent away the gluttonous corpse.

I was a little confused. Mrs. Liu, who I thought was my enemy, would actually be the one to deal with the gluttonous corpse, while Brother Tuozi, who had always been honest and reliable, would stab me in the back with the intention of killing me...

The most rare thing in this world is the human heart, because it is mysterious and fickle, giving people hope and despair.

The corpse poison of the gluttonous corpse is relatively unique, so the solution is different from ordinary corpse poison. Mrs. Liu removed the corpse poison from my body that night, and the corpse poison of my grandpa and Uncle Lao Gen was naturally hers.

Helped me figure it out.

"After she tore off a small piece of meat from the heart of the gluttonous corpse, she wrapped it in a yellow talisman and fed it to you to swallow. After a while, the corpse poison on your body was dissipated, but your trauma was too severe and you were in a coma until today.

come over."

Holy shit! This is a bit hard for me to accept. I actually let my buddy swallow... human flesh...

Although I was speechless, the ghost girl seemed to understand my thoughts and continued unhurriedly:

"Don't worry, because your grandfather and the others are old, even though they have been detoxified, they are still in the recovery period, but they are finally in a much better situation than you are now. In addition, the gluttonous corpses have been eliminated, and those corpses have long been there.

It turned into powder under the sun, so you don’t have to worry about leaving any disaster behind. It’s just that the escaped Tie Tong is a little troublesome. Although it was not the gluttonous corpse you personally made, the little boy only saw you and seriously injured you. As long as you don’t leave for a day,

Get rid of it, and it will haunt you like maggots attached to your bones."

I feel heavy in my heart, not only because of the little kid, but also because I am worried about Zhang Tuo who escaped that night and so many mysteries involving Dengxing Village... When I think of these, my chest feels tight, but now I can only

Can lie in bed.

As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the bones. The most serious injury this time was to the bones. The left shoulder was penetrated and two ribs were broken on the left side. The other parts, such as those bitten and scratched by the gluttonous corpse, were fine.

Fast. But with the ghost girl’s spiritual energy nourishing me, my injuries recovered much faster than ordinary people. Even so, it still took me nearly ten days until I could get off the ground and move around freely.

During this period, I was naturally taken care of by Grandma and Brother Shuanzi. While I was in the hospital, Grandpa and Uncle Lao Gen also recovered one after another, and even sneaked into my ward from time to time to brag with me.

some type of.

It really makes me happy to see them recover.

Of course, the situation of Hu Daxian, Mrs. Liu, and Zhang Tuo that everyone is concerned about is gradually becoming clearer.

After various investigations and verifications by the yamen, it has been confirmed that Hu Sanyi and Hu Feng are indeed the same person, and they have been found guilty of abducting children, raping women, poisoning people, intentional homicide, and inciting the masses to spread evil thoughts. Although he is dead,

But they uncovered an illegal organization behind him called the "Three Talents Association of Heaven, Earth, People," with a size of about ten people. There were two leaders of the organization, one of whom was him, and the other was a guy named Zhang Renshi.

All the arrested members of the Sancai Association confessed to the many anti-social, anti-scientific, feudal and superstitious activities they had secretly organized. The Yamen also seized a large number of manuscripts recording evil spells and the practices they had organized in recent years at their stronghold.

records of a series of illegal activities.

The organization was defined as a cult by the yamen, and those arrested were punished in accordance with the law, and wanted orders were issued for other members of the organization who were at large.

And that guy named Zhang Renshi, his wanted photo clearly looks like Zhang Tuo!

None of us could have imagined, nor would we admit it, that the gentle and gentle man whom the children were so proud of in the eyes of the adults would now turn into a wanted criminal carrying human lives on his back.

Things in the world are impermanent, things change and people change.

I don’t know why, but ever since I came into contact with the Mysterious Scroll, the people and things around me are no longer as familiar to me as they used to be. This feeling makes me hate and scare me.

While I was in the hospital, Mrs. Liu unexpectedly came to see me. Under the ghost girl's constant lies, my brother refreshed his understanding of this old man who had never left a good impression on me since he was a child and changed his mind for the first time. Although her

His face is still so unpleasant.

This octogenarian who lost his son and daughter-in-law one after another, despite possessing special skills, still has to pretend to be an ordinary person in Dengxing Village, even an ordinary old man who is old-fashioned and unpleasant.

I don’t know what her difficulties were, but I think she must have suffered unimaginable and unbearable pain when she saw her former son and grandson appear in front of her in another appearance.

But if it were me, if my close relatives were raised and turned into zombies that harm people, I would make the same choice as her. At least, I must retain human dignity for them...

Of course, she couldn't tell me more about the Taotie Curse in the hospital. After all, there are many people with mixed opinions, and it's not something that can be said casually, so I can only put aside all suspicions for the time being and be patient.

Recuperating in the hospital.

I don’t know why that day, but I suddenly received a call from my mother. She seemed to know that I was expelled from school, and she also knew about the case in Dengxing Village through some way. Under her cross-examination, I had no choice but to

Tell everything you know.

"It turns out that Tie Tong has escaped... Aunt Liu still hasn't been able to calm down. Alas, I don't know how many troubles this will cause in the future."

Maybe it was my misunderstanding, or what my mother meant. She didn't seem surprised that I would meet the Taotie born in the world, but she was confused that the Taotie would escape. But her concern and worry about me remained unabated, even though I kept concealing it.

I was thinking about my hospitalization, but she still found clues from my words.

"It's impossible. I got a good fortune when you returned to the village, and there are Zhang Tuo and Aunt Liu in the village, so nothing should happen to you!"

I smiled bitterly for a while and told her about Zhang Tuo's betrayal. Even for a person as capable as my mother, she hated this matter. Moreover, she originally trusted Zhang Tuo even more than Mrs. Liu.

How could you imagine that that guy is actually one of the top executives of the Sancai Association?

"By the way, what about the ghost bone rock and the living talisman on the doll's grave?"

There are too many secrets in Dengxing Village, and they also involve sorcery and cults such as the Taotie Curse and the Sancai Association. Now that I can't ask Mrs. Liu, I have no choice but to ask my mother.
