The window of the small warehouse was sealed with yellow paper. From the outside, there was a dim and bright light and nothing could be seen clearly. I knocked on the door twice, but there was no response from inside. I frowned and wondered if he was looking for me.
What's wrong with me when I come back?!
Without thinking too much, I stretched out my hand and pulled hard, and the simple door creaked open as I forced it open, "Cheng Baize!!"
Sure enough, Cheng Baize set up a case desk in the small warehouse. At this moment, he was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed and facing the desk. His back was straight, his eyes were closed, and his brows were also furrowed. His face was in pain. He probably heard me
There was a sound of the door being pulled open, and he opened his mouth forcefully: "Don't come over, I'm unstable and I'm gathering energy!"
"I'll help you."
With that said, I was about to step forward and help him burn incense, "No, you and I are not from the same school, just don't disturb me."
He interrupted me, still sitting there with his eyes closed and cross-legged. I stood there without moving, but my heart felt extremely tight when I looked at him. After a long while, Cheng Baize took a long breath and turned his face to look at
I smiled weakly: "Have you gone to see your grandpa?"
I pointed at his face, but suddenly I was speechless, covered my mouth, and started crying.
Cheng Baize was a little confused by my reaction. He touched his face and wiped the red liquid directly under his nose with his fingers. He took out a tissue and wiped it nonchalantly: "Hey, there's some blood.
Well, what about you?"
I know in my heart that he is injured. How can you go down there just as you say? I have been wandering on the Huangquan Road for seven or eight days. He must have gone to all kinds of places to find me. If he goes there once, his body will be injured just once.
The moment he turned to look at me and smiled, I clearly saw two streaks of nosebleeds coming from his nose. Although I didn't know the extent of his injuries, when I saw this, I always felt broken. What can I do?
, let a friend do this for me. For ordinary people, life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven, but I, Ma Jiaolong, can stand here wearing a shroud, not only because of my grandma but also
Cheng Baize's blessing, I should have been the one to protect others, but now I'm dragging others into protecting me. What kind of Onmyoji am I!
"Okay, you're not done yet, are you?"
Cheng Baize stood up and walked to me, stretched out his hand and hugged me gently: "Didn't you say it's over? I had a nosebleed because the weather was too dry and I got angry. Such a small thing is worth your tears.
Well, haven't you helped people deal with the corpses? You've seen such disgusting scenes, so this nosebleed is nothing."
I shook my head: "I'm sorry, Cheng Baize, blame me, blame me for being too self-righteous. I thought I was very powerful, but in the end I was dragged into the water by a water ghost and died. I have hurt you. It was me who hurt your vitality."
Yeah, I don’t know how to thank you, I’m really useless..."
Although I have been taught by my grandma to be modest and prudent since I was a child, every wise onmyoji who sees me will always say something like, "If you are born with yin and yang, you will become a great person". Even Cheng Baize said this to me
, after listening to it too much, I can't help but feel a little ecstasy deep in my heart. Although I believe that the strongest will have its own strong opponent, I always feel that I have a unique advantage. As an Onmyoji, I am amazing. I can do anything evil.
Toru, I can understand it as soon as I realize it. To put it bluntly, I even think that I will be the strongest in the future, but maybe I am too smooth, so I actually stumbled on this water ghost. If you didn't help me
I really just left like this, what's the point of complaining? If my body is cremated, how the hell am I going to come back!
Death once also made me clearly understand how far behind I am. So what if I am intersex? I am not an ordinary ghost when I go down there, a ghost who can't even cry. Moreover,
The most ridiculous thing is that I, who is said to be the most promising onmyoji, has never been allowed to walk through the yin. Once I go down there, I am completely trapped. When my grandma was an onmyoji, according to her, because of the bull head and horse noodles,
Knowing that she is a Yin Yang person, I would give her a little bit of sympathy, but I was completely stupid, let alone an Yin Yang master, I am not even as good as Mr. Li who can sing and cry.
Early on, I was enveloped by something that looked like a halo. Others said I could become a great person, and I thought so myself. From this point of view, it would be strange if this failed.
"Why are you thanking me? There is no need to talk about this between you and me. It's okay if I can find you. It's not that I haven't been down there before. It's just that it's so hard to find someone for the first time. You know, if you want to thank me, it should be "Thank you"
Your grandma..."
"My grandma?"
I raised my eyes and looked at him: "Have you seen my grandma?"
Cheng Baize gently twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "No, but I felt something was wrong when I went down this time. I should have been guided to that road by something. When I realized that it was Huangquan Road, it was not a place I could go.
I saw you coming, and thinking about it, your grandma must have known that I came down to find you, so she sent you here and asked me to bring you back."
I nodded, but I didn't know what to say. I took his tissue and wiped the tears on my face, looked at him and sniffed: "I thank you, really, I want it all down there.
Scared to death."
Cheng Baize laughed heartily: "What are you afraid of? If anyone dares to bully you, just puff out your chest and say you are Ma Jiaolong, and see who dares to play tricks with you."
I lowered my eyes and curled my lips: "They don't care who I am. They all tried to persuade me to hurry up. I can't walk. Besides, this is my first time going down there." As I said that, I took a deep breath.
Looking at Cheng Baize: "From now on, if I want to take over Yin's job, I must figure out the following."
Cheng Baize frowned: "What's the point of going down there? A good Yin Yang Master can solve the problem clearly above. Why do you have to go down below? If the Yin Qi down there is too strong, it will destroy the balance of Yin and Yang and drive away ghosts."
It is a skill, but asking ghosts to take over your body is not a skill. Just listen to me and don’t think about going to the underworld. When I first became a disciple, I helped people go to the underworld a few times, but I have stopped leaving for a long time.
Yes, I went down this time just to find you."
I understand what he said, but he obviously didn't understand what I meant. I feel that I am weak in this area. No matter how much you feel that you understand, but you have not seen it with your own eyes or heard it with your own ears, it is still false, just like me
When I was dealing with Bai'er's affairs, I helped the host's family organize the sacrificial supplies for the first seven days, made a 'ladder to heaven' and burned them away, etc. Bai's life was a set of things, but when he really went down, Lian Wangxiang
This is the first time for me to see Taiwan, let alone the gates of hell behind it. There are two roads, Yin and Yang. It is not enough for me to just walk through the Huangquan Road. Since I am dealing with these things, I have to understand them all!
"Ma Jiaolong, did you hear what I said?"
I said 'hmm' and looked up to see that his nose was bleeding again. I couldn't help but wipe it with paper for him: "I understand."
Cheng Baize looked at me and smiled quite comfortably. The more he behaved like this, the more I felt sorry. I knew what he had suffered for me, and I silently recorded it in my heart. Cheng Baize, I owe you this again.
I can never seem to exchange enough favors.
When his nose stopped bleeding, I looked at him and opened his mouth: "Go and see my grandpa. He will be worried about you as soon as he wakes up."
Cheng Baize nodded: "Okay." As he said that, he seemed to have thought of something: "What are you going to do about that thing in the water?"
Regarding Fengxia, I gritted my teeth and said, "Block her once so that she can never come out and become a monster."
It's just that my current health is not good, so these activities are strenuous, and since I am an out-of-body soul, I don't know if it will have any impact on my Taoism, so I have to recover for a while.
Cheng Baize looked at me with seriousness on his face: "Can you leave this matter to me?"
"Leave it to you?" I was slightly startled: "But, don't you also..."
"Don't worry about it, leave it to me. You can't seal her off now. I'll take care of it. Okay, don't say any more. Go see your grandpa first, and then I'll take care of her tomorrow.
Once this matter is settled for you, we will go back."
After saying that, Cheng Baize didn't give me any room to reply. He took my wrist and walked directly outside. I followed him. In fact, I think this matter would be better for me after I have recovered, and for Cheng Baize.
It's not difficult at all. It's just pushing the successful Fengxia to the bottom of the water. But I always feel it's a little strange and I can't tell what's wrong.
When grandpa saw Cheng Baize, he was naturally excited. He pulled him and made him sit on the bed and talked endlessly. He heard everything Cheng Baize said to him, but he just didn't want to open his eyes and wanted to go with me. Unexpectedly,
Cheng Baize didn't lie, he really brought me something.
I went back to another room and changed my clothes first. As soon as I finished changing, Xu Gang came back and saw that I also looked agitated. He said that he couldn't believe it because he touched me that time.
My arms were all stiff, and some of them had seen me die with their own eyes. They also heard that I was well and came to see me. The room was very lively. Since Cheng Baize didn't take credit, he also said that he didn't want to do these things for others in the future.
Son, so these people didn't know how I survived. In the end, they only concluded that I am Ma Yufen's granddaughter, and my grandma is a god in the village, so naturally I am not simple.
After seeing off the people one after another, I was also grateful to Xu Gang for not caring that I was an outsider and that I died outside. He actually let me lie on their kang for several days. Xu Gang didn't
After I finished speaking, he patted his chest and looked at me and said, "You kid, don't go outside. Let's not talk about your grandma, you and Da Ya. Uncle didn't say anything about it. Uncle owes Da Ya nothing but you."
Good for Da Ya, it doesn’t matter what my uncle is doing now! You can live in this house as you please, and you will be the same as my uncle’s daughter!
Speaking of Xu Meijin, I felt awkward in my heart, because Xu Gang didn't know anything about the quarrel between me and Xu Meijin. It was already very late when I sent Xu Gang away. I put away the shroud I was wearing and got ready.
I burned it and buried it next to my grandma's grave, making a burial mound to keep me in my thoughts. In another way, I used it as a way to accompany my grandma.
Grandpa was very energetic. He kept holding Cheng Baize's hand. I asked him to eat, but he said he would eat with Xiaobai. In the end, in order to let grandpa eat more, Cheng Baize forced himself to hold several bowls and walked to the room.
I looked at Zong Bao and Li Xiaoshi, who were exhausted and sleeping in undressed clothes on the kang, and then glanced at my grandpa who was still chatting with Cheng Baize, and opened my mouth: "Grandpa, it's very late, let Cheng Baize go to bed. These days
He also worked very hard."
"There's no rush..." Grandpa waved his hand to me: "Come over here, Jiaolong. Grandpa has something to tell you."
I nodded and sat on the other side of the Kang: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. If you like Xiaobai, you can't let him stay up late."
"What are you talking about staying up late?" Grandpa patted his thigh and then looked at me: "Jiaolong, are you filial?"
"Ah." This question made me smile: "Grandpa, you are my life."
Grandpa nodded: "As long as you say this, grandpa has arranged this matter for you. During the Spring Festival this year, you will marry Xiaobai. In this way, you will be filial to grandpa. Grandpa's biggest wish is
Come on, otherwise, if you are unfilial, grandpa will not recognize you!"
I opened my eyes wide and was stunned: "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
Cheng Baize on the side was also a little startled and looked at his grandfather: "Grandpa, this, this is not good."
"What's wrong!" Grandpa became anxious and looked at Cheng Baize: "Xiao Bai, are you serious about Jiaolong?"
Cheng Baize glanced at me, then looked at his grandpa, slightly twitching his lips: "Grandpa, I will take care of Jiaolong for the rest of my life."
"That's it!" Grandpa looked at me again: "Jiaolong, where can you find such a good guy like Xiaobai? I hate him. Didn't you make an appointment with him in Hong Kong? Zong Bao said
You and your boyfriend are in Hong Kong, aren't you just a novice? You are not young anymore. You will be twenty-four next year. If you are not married yet, then when will you have to wait? Grandpa's brain is not working anymore. I am really anxious, Jiao
Long, can you just let me watch your wedding day soberly?"
I shook my head, the hat was too big: "No, grandpa, you may have misunderstood what Zong Bao told you. My boyfriend is not Cheng Baize's."
"Who is that, not Xiaobai?"
"It's Zhuo Jing." I lowered my eyes and opened my mouth numbly: "I like Zhuo Jing." (To be continued)
