"It's hard to put it into words." I said, shaking my head.
"Haha, it's hard to say it all. Well, since it's hard to say it, let's say it slowly and come with me." The other party said, waving his hand for me to come in. I quickly pulled Xiao Ai to follow, but as soon as I entered the room,
I felt a chill coming through my bones.
This is a very spacious room with a wooden beam structure and blue bricks. It should be of some age. However, as soon as you enter the room, you feel that it is cold and awkward. After taking a closer look, you find that except for the skylight above the ceiling,
Besides, there are no windows in this house!
If this is not bizarre enough, then a large black coffin half a person's height parked in the middle of the room is too abrupt.
A coffin can be more than two meters long and one meter wide, and it can fit even a savage. It is placed in the house in such a grand manner.
And around the coffin, there are various small cabinets containing traditional Chinese medicine arranged like bookshelves. There are labels on the cabinets, with black and white letters, and many names that have never been seen before.
On a shelf against the wall, there are many cylindrical jars with slits. The jars contain more or less light yellow liquids. Various things are soaked in the liquids, which are good for strengthening yang and nourishing the kidneys.
There are various kinds of cut-up animals inside, which are also good for longevity. I can't tell whether they are extremely rare or have been changed beyond recognition.
"Old man, what is this for?" I asked him in astonishment, pointing at the giant coffin in front of me.
When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he kicked the coffin with a smile. At the same time, the lid of the coffin flipped over and opened its mouth like a big box...
When I peeked inside, I saw red velvet bedding and red velvet pillows. Looking at the shape of the bedding, I knew someone lived here.
Damn...
As soon as I thought about it, I was dumbfounded and turned around speechlessly. I asked him with great caution: "Old man, do you...sleep here?"
"Yeah. Haven't you seen it before?" the other party said, taking out some unseen gadgets from a drawer, asking Xiao Ai to sit on a chair aside, and struck a match to light the candle.
When I looked at it, I realized that there was not a single electrical appliance in the house. I secretly opened my ghost eyes and took a look. There was no yin energy in the old man. He was obviously a big living person. But how could a big living person treat him like this?
How about putting him in a coffin to sleep? Thinking about his habit of staying up day and night, I feel that this person is too unreliable.
Although it is said that there are many capable people and weird people, but this hobby is really special. Maybe he saw my doubts, the old man, while checking Xiao Ai's injuries, said to me with a smile
: "What's wrong? Do you think your grandpa is a weirdo?"
"Haha, a bit." I nodded and laughed innocently.
"Well, it's no wonder. There are some things that ordinary people like you won't understand." The other party said, taking a moment to look at me. Seeing that I was still standing there, he gestured to the chair next to me and said, "Sit down.
What are you doing standing there? At this moment, I don’t know where the mistress has gone. I
I won't pour you tea, just make it easier for yourself." He said, and dug out an old-fashioned foldable reading glasses from the cabinet. After putting them on, he lifted Xiao Ai's eyelids and looked left and right.
Look, while asking how the injury came about, he was frowning and thinking about something.
When it comes to treatment, you can't hide it from the doctor. I told him everything I knew. When he learned that Xiao Ai's eyes were burned by the poisonous mist sprayed by King Viper, he suddenly turned his head.
Come and ask me: "So, you are going to catch the Viper King? Has anyone been bitten by a snake?"
"Yes, several people died." Thinking of Ding Ling's incident, I said to him with a heavy heart. Hearing this, the other party nodded, and then muttered to himself: "Hey, no wonder it's like this.
I said, this girl's eyes were hurt by poison, how could her life not be hurt? It turns out that it was the previous people who exhausted the venom of the Viper King."
Hearing what he said, I felt quite complicated. I smiled bitterly and asked, "Old man, can her eyes be cured?"
"Sure, in my place, when are there any diseases that cannot be cured?" The other party said, twitching the corners of his mouth very proudly, and then added: "Don't say, it is a disease of this level, even if it is just...
I can also bring back a dead person who has recently died, but the price to pay is higher. Haha
Oh, don’t think I’m bragging. Let me tell you, when I was young, I knew an expert who could travel back and forth between the Yin and Yang realms and bring the dead back to life. Of course, some people believe in this kind of thing, and some don’t. I
If I talk too much, you will think I am a lunatic, but I did see it when I was young."
The other party said, laughed twice, then turned to look at me and asked: "Young man, I see that you are frowning, are you in some trouble? Could it be that one of the people who were bitten to death by the Viper King
,Is there anyone you care about?"
"My wife who just passed by." I looked at him bitterly, and I didn't hide it. After hearing this, the other party's expression changed, and then he said: "That's it... then, I'm sorry, my old man,
You're talking too much again." After the other party finished speaking, he remained silent, but...
Influenced by what he just said, I asked him with great interest: "Old sir, you just said that in your early years you met an expert who could travel between the yin and yang worlds, and could bring people back to life. I don't know what this person's surname was.
Whose name is it? Can I meet him?"
"What do you want to do?" After hearing this, the old man looked at me with confusion.
"Nothing, just asking." I said and smiled apologetically. In fact, I don't think Ding Ling can return to me. Based on my understanding of this kind of thing, in the true sense, it can bring people back to life.
There are almost no methods, at least, it is not a state that human beings can achieve.
Among the people I know, there are many high-ranking people, such as Mr. Chen Daoling and Chen, who are all Taoist masters. However, even people of his level can only divine secrets but cannot change them.
Fate, for mortals, life and death is a final decision and cannot be changed at all.
If there really was a Da Luo True Immortal descending to the world, there might still be a glimmer of hope, but how could an expert who was avatared in the lower world have the mind to manage a nobody like me?
Thinking about it, I felt bitter again. At this time, the old man suddenly turned his head, raised his finger to the roof, and frowned.
