"So, the failure was all caused by the loss of the human skin lantern?"
"Well, cough..." Uncle Master nodded and looked at me, his eyes full of helplessness and anger.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. In the end, I raised my hand and slapped myself twice.
The key is, the fat and thin brothers don’t feel like bad people to me.
What they said is basically consistent with what my uncle said.
Moreover, it doesn't seem like they deliberately took away the lantern.
It’s just that I forgot about it before sealing the coffin!
"I'm really like a pig!" I stomped my feet angrily.
My uncle came up and comforted me and said, "That's all. It's all over. There's no need to think about it anymore."
"What you have to do now is to accumulate moral virtue. Remember, you only have one year!"
At this point, my uncle patted me on the shoulder, coughed, and said sincerely.
"Chen Xian, now, my uncle's life is in your hands!"
"do not let me down!"
"Um!"
Before leaving, I placed three sticks of incense on Uncle Li's grave.
During the incense ceremony, I asked my uncle why Uncle Li was buried here.
My uncle told me that Uncle Li's sins were too serious during his lifetime, and after his death, the evil spirits lingered for a long time. Therefore, he thought of burying Uncle Li on this corpse raising ground, and let the corpse raising ground slowly swallow up the evil spirits all over his body.
After the evil spirit has been completely devoured, Uncle Li's bones will be dug out and buried elsewhere.
I nodded and accompanied my uncle down the mountain. On the way, I always felt that I had something to do, but I couldn't remember it.
It wasn't until I was approaching the foot of the mountain that I saw a beautiful figure from a long distance away, wearing a long skirt and standing gracefully, standing at the foot of the mountain, looking towards the mountain with a worried look.
"Chen Xian!" When I approached, Zhixi waved and shouted to me excitedly, and at the same time, she ran towards me.
Only then did I realize that the person who had made me anxious and worried along the way was none other than Zhixi.
She immediately ran into my arms and hugged me tightly, unwilling to let go.
"It scared me to death. I thought you would never come back." Zhixi's voice was excited at first, and then she started sobbing, and her tears wet my clothes.
I was hugged by her, and I was completely confused. The key is, when did our relationship get so good?
"Uh... let go first, I'm almost out of breath." I reminded him.
Zhixi raised her head slightly and glanced at me. Suddenly, her whole face turned red.
I saw her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and my heart softened. I just wanted to say that you can hug her if you want. I can breathe.
As a result, she withdrew her hand first, lowered her head, and whispered to me: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." I scratched my head awkwardly, and the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.
Neither of us spoke, mainly because I didn't know what to say.
At this time, Uncle Master passed by with a slight smile on his face.
"Go home first, this is not the place for romance," he said.
I hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you are mistaken, our relationship is not that kind of relationship."
"Isn't that a matter of time? Let's go, don't stand here talking!"
We followed my uncle back home. At home, my uncle taught me some things about Yin De.
In layman's terms, this yin virtue means giving without expecting anything in return, giving without seeking fame, and doing some good deeds without expecting anything in return.
Of course, it doesn't have to be so thorough. You can still accept some small favors. Anyway, as long as you do good deeds, you can accumulate moral virtue. It doesn't matter how much.
After explaining the general matters, my uncle reminded me again that he only fought for one year of life for me.
If I don't have enough Yin De Jade in a year, this time, even he won't be able to do anything.
After that, my uncle told me that he had to leave immediately and go back to the school to deal with the facial makeup man's affairs. He would come to see me when he had free time.
Before leaving, I wanted to leave a contact information with my uncle, but my uncle refused.
He said that if he had anything to explain in the future, he would have his own way to contact me. As for me, it was best not to contact him proactively.
I asked why, and my uncle said: "Because I am a member of Hongmen, and having too much involvement with me will be harmful rather than beneficial to you!"
Then, he patted me on the shoulder and left another sentence: "Chen Xian, the rest depends on you."
"Remember, that jade pendant, try not to let other people see it. A man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade pendant, you know!"
"Yes, I understand, uncle."
"gone."
"I send you!"
"No, you stay, the girl is still waiting for you in the house."
After my uncle left, I looked at the person sitting on the bed in the next room with a sad look on his face.
I walked over and knocked on the door. When Zhixi opened the door, I said, "I've finished all the things here. When do you plan to go home? I'll see you off."
"It's okay, it's up to you." Zhixi replied quietly.
I had already thought about it. Since I only have one year to accumulate moral virtue, I have to seize every minute and every second.
The next thing I plan to do is to send Zhixi home. After all, this is a good thing and can accumulate moral virtue.
Now, I feel very strange when I see Zhixi looking soft and weak when she speaks, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
You know, she didn't have this character before.
"What's wrong with you? Have you changed your gender?" I asked.
Zhixi shook her head and said no, why do you ask.
I didn't dwell too much on this topic and asked her instead: "By the way, where did you go after Wang Hu took you away yesterday?"
"I do not remember."
"How come you don't remember?"
Zhixi said: "I just don't remember it, I just feel like it's a dream."
"I have forgotten everything I saw in my dream. Anyway, when I woke up, I was already standing at the entrance of your village, and then I saw your uncle, who brought me back."
"When?" I asked.
"Last night, it was eleven or twelve o'clock, I can't remember clearly."
"I slept in your room last night. I didn't choose it. Your uncle asked me to sleep here."
"Then when I slept until midnight, I saw the same evil thing we saw on the mountain that day."
"The Yin Chai talked to your uncle for a long time, then made a cut on your uncle's arm with his finger and left."
"I didn't sleep all night after that. Until now, after listening to your uncle's story about you, I was really afraid that you wouldn't wake up. I was worried to death."
I chuckled: "Are you so worried about me?"
Zhixi rolled her eyes: "No way."
"I'm afraid that if you die, your uncle will be so sad that he leaves me alone. Who will take me home then?"
