At this moment, I was a little dumbfounded. I thought I heard wrongly, so I subconsciously rubbed my ears.
But Uncle Gui seemed to have made up his mind and spoke again: "I am the village guard of Fenling Village. I am the choice of City God Dianmao. Naturally, I am the most suitable person to go to the City God's Temple."
Old man Zhang waved his hands repeatedly.
"Shit!"
"Although you are the village guard, given the current situation in Fengling Village, you will definitely die if you go there."
"Just let this kid go."
I rolled my eyes.
Uncle Gui will definitely die if he goes, but I won’t if I go, right?
But I was too lazy to talk to him anymore. By this time I had already seen that Old Man Zhang was determined to let me take this risk, and the reason was probably because I had just arrived.
At this time, the old drunkard suddenly said: "No matter who goes, it is not easy to get the Earthly Immortal Sword."
"I do have a compromise."
The old drunkard looked at me.
"Boy."
"You came to Fengling Village to suppress the coffin. Since the coffin is what you need, the Earth Immortal Sword is also what you need."
"So?" I didn't quite understand what the old drunkard meant by this.
Seeing that I didn't deny it, the old drunkard looked at the others.
"Although the coffin is important to us, we don't have to find it. After all, after so many years, we are already half-buried old people. If we want to find the coffin, we just want to know some truth about that year.
.”
"in other words."
"The Earth Immortal Sword is far more important to you than to us."
I froze for a moment.
But I didn't refute it.
Because it is indeed so.
If what Liu Yunsheng said is true, then the Earth Immortal Sword is the key to me finding the coffin, and the coffin is the key to replenishing my life. I will find it no matter what.
That is to say.
Even if Old Man Zhang doesn't force me to go now, I will have to find the Earth Immortal Sword sooner or later, unless I can find the Soul-Suppressing Coffin in other ways.
But that's almost impossible.
Thinking of this, I felt a little depressed for a while.
If the old drunkard hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have thought of it.
Seeing my silence, the old drunkard glanced at Uncle Gui and said again: "The ghost boy is right. As the guardian of Fengling Village, he has the responsibility to find the coffin. Since you also need it, you might as well let him
You two go together."
"It can be regarded as taking care of me."
I was a little surprised when I heard this.
I didn't expect that the compromise solution mentioned by the old drunkard was to ask Uncle Gui to follow me.
This also made me a little excited.
Because I was very aware of my situation. Even if I had the Chenghuang Tie to defend myself, the Chenghuang Tie did not last long. And if I didn’t feel wrong, the reason why I suddenly felt extremely tired and weak at that time was most likely because of the Chenghuang Tie.
.
If that's the case, even if I use the City God's Sticker to temporarily protect myself so that Old Man Zhang can't force me to go to the City God's Temple to die alone, it can only be said to be a delaying tactic.
So since I'm going to die no matter what, and I have to find the Earth Immortal Sword in order to hold down the coffin, I might as well just do it.
Therefore, it would be a good thing for me if Uncle Ghost goes with me.
After all, I am not familiar with the place and place in Fenling Village, and I am not familiar with the Chenghuang Temple at all, but Uncle Gui is different.
As the village guard of Fenling Village, he must know much more about the Town God's Temple in Fenling Village.
But I didn't answer in a hurry, but also looked at Uncle Ghost.
Uncle Ghost was still a little hesitant.
It's like he doesn't want me to go through this muddy water.
I just don’t know why. Looking at Uncle Ghost, I always feel weird in my heart, but I can’t explain why.
At this moment, Old Man Zhang frowned and said, "Old drunkard, your proposal is not impossible."
"But the ghost boy..."
Before Old Man Zhang could finish speaking, Uncle Ghost had already interrupted him.
"Uncle Zhang, it's settled."
Seeing that Uncle Gui had already decided, Old Man Zhang sighed slightly, then looked at me again, "Boy."
"That's it for now."
"You should also give me a pleasant word."
"To go or not to go!"
I rolled my eyes at Old Man Zhang.
I don't have a good impression of him at all. From beginning to end, he was the only one who wanted to push me to death after taking the initiative, which made me even doubt whether he had a grudge against me or Niang'er Village.
.
I said, "Just go."
"I won't go anyway, so you have to force me to go."
"But I also have a condition."
"If I come back alive, don't blame me anymore for the old blind man's affairs."
In this way, Uncle Ghost and I directly became people on the same rope.
After leaving the ancestral hall, I realized with some hindsight that in less than half a day, I had already experienced two life-and-death crises.
If it weren't for fate.
Now he is probably one of the bones in that place.
Not long after, Uncle Gui and I returned to Uncle Gui's house.
Uncle Gui, who had been silent all the way, looked at me apologetically: "What happened today is not something I can stop."
"I know." I nodded.
I can also see this. With the way Old Man Zhang stared at me, unless Uncle Ghost has the absolute right to speak, his words are useless. So although I still have some knots in my heart, I don't have any problems.
Think about why you should blame Uncle Ghost.
After all, he is the person the old smoker talks about.
But due to emotion and reason, he has done enough.
From the beginning, he was the only one who spoke a few words for me.
Seeing my indifferent attitude, Uncle Ghost smiled helplessly.
I asked again: "When will we leave?"
Uncle Ghost shook his head and said, "There's no rush."
"Go there after it gets dark."
As he said that, Uncle Ghost took out a stack of yellow paper from his body, which were his Chenghuang stickers, and then selected three pieces from it.
I looked at the same thing and thought it looked familiar.
One has a drawing of something resembling a whip.
One is a sickle.
It was only when I saw that the picture on the third picture was a piece of clothing that I realized that I also have these three pictures.
"What are these three Chenghuang stickers for?" I asked subconsciously.
Uncle Ghost looked at me in surprise.
"you do not know?"
I nodded and did not deny it.
The City God Sticker was given to me by the old smoker. I only know how to use it, but I don't know anything else. I don't even know how the old smoker has the City God Sticker that these village guardians have.
And at this point, it would be meaningless if I concealed these things. I even felt that if I concealed them, it might actually be a bad thing for me.
As expected, although the surprise in Uncle Gui's eyes was more obvious, he did not ask any more questions, but explained: "These three things are the life weapons of the village guards."
"Separation is the soul-suppressing rope."
"Corpse Scythe."
"And the City God's protective robe."
"Unlike other City God Stickers, although these three life weapons are also converted from City God Stickers, once used, they can exist until the death of the village guard."
"That Earth Immortal Sword is actually the life weapon of the village guard a hundred years ago."
"It's just that he has great abilities and can be called a living immortal, so his life weapon is different from ours, but the functions are actually the same."
