After sending Brother Song Liang away, there was one last thing left.
In the evening, my second uncle helped me prepare a table of dishes and put the things I promised to Sister Yama on the coffee table.
After that, the second uncle took Lulu out for a walk, saying that he wanted to leave some space for myself.
I opened the mythology pamphlet to Lu Qi's page, stood next to the plate, and brought the incense burner and incense over.
I lit three incense sticks, held them in my hand, bowed, and inserted them into the incense burner.
The smoke drew circles toward the booklet.
I squeezed the hem of my clothes tightly and squirmed for a long time, not thinking about what to say first.
After a long time, two words slowly appeared on the pamphlet: What's the matter?
I opened my mouth, and brother Lu Qi really accepted the news. I quickly said, "Brother, I want to be your second horse."
After that, the big-bellied Lu Qi in the painting and I looked at each other for a long time, but there was no reply.
Just when I thought there would be no reply and was about to give up, another sentence appeared on the page: Wait for me for twelve days.
Wait for him for twelve days.
I feel like my heart is beating so fast in my chest that my face is red and hot. Brother Lu Qi is not laughing at me. I will be the first horse in twelve days!
A hand suddenly put on my shoulder, and I turned my head in surprise: "Brother Lu Qi, didn't you say it would take another twelve days..."
Then, I saw a beautiful face that looked like a celestial being, but it was not Brother Lu Qi.
She was wearing a black robe, embroidered with golden cloud patterns, and her wide-sleeved robe was casually dragged on the ground. She did not have the majesty or image of the King of Hell at all.
Sister Song Qi yawned, squatted beside the coffee table, picked up the stinky tofu and started eating.
"delicious."
"Sister Song Qi, why are you here?" I ran to her side in confusion.
She stabbed a piece of stinky tofu with a wooden skewer and stuffed it into my mouth. She glanced at the chicken, duck and fish on the table with a smile, and said with a sad face: "Hey, I'm a poor king of hell. I'm not as good as the judge."
I scratched my hair in embarrassment: "Well, then I will ask my second uncle to prepare a table for you."
She waved her hand, suddenly put down the stinky tofu seriously, and looked at me seriously: "My child, you have decided to be Lu Qi's first horse."
"Yeah." I nodded, not knowing what she meant by asking me.
Sister Song Qi held her chin and thought for a while, then frowned and relaxed: "His second horse is not easy to do. Have you thought about it?"
"Ah? Isn't that just being a Dima? Aren't all Dimas the same?" Although my mother is a goddess, she is also another form of Dima. Isn't that what she deals with every day?
"Nonono." She stretched out her right index finger and shook it, "Lu Qi is different from others. His first horse must have the ability to see the overall situation and a mentality that is not afraid of difficulties."
Sister Song Qi took the empty cup on the coffee table, and when her fingers were slightly apart, there was a little more water in it: "Other Dima, in this world, the things that can be dealt with are limited, just like this water."
She touched the cup again, and the water inside actually rose by itself, and finally it came out and flowed to the ground.
"The responsibilities that Lu Qi's second horse needs to bear are as follows. Aren't you afraid?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at me. After her peach blossom eyes faded from their softness and liveliness, they became a little deeper and sharper, which made me feel a little stressed and even made me unable to stand.
But I had already made my decision, and I didn’t want to change what I had decided. I nodded bravely: “Well, I’m not afraid, I’m going to do it.”
"Hahahaha." She laughed again in the blink of an eye.
It's uncertain and strange.
Sister Song Qi put her arms around my neck, pulled me to sit next to her, and handed me a candied haws.
I stared blankly at the candied haws in my hand, and listened to her smiling voice ringing in my ears: "That's right, that's right. To be a first horse is to not be afraid of difficulties and not to be intimidated. As for what skills you can learn slowly,
Charge forward bravely!"
It turned out that she was testing me.
I lowered my head and took a small bite of the candied haws. It was very sweet. The sweetness immediately filled my mouth. It made me feel happy and I couldn't help chatting with her.
"Brother Lu Qi said, let me wait for him for twelve days."
"I heard that Laojun's mansion was bombed to pieces, otherwise he wouldn't have waited so long."
"So long?" I turned to look at her in confusion, "Isn't it just twelve days?"
The profile of Sister Song Qi's face is almost glowing under the light, and even every eyebrow is the most perfect arc.
Such a beautiful woman has a somewhat careless expression, which ruins her beauty.
While she was chewing the noodles in Malatang, she looked sideways at me, her mouth still full of meatballs, like a little squirrel: "It's one day in the sky, one year in the earth, you still have to wait twelve years, well, by then
It's time for you to graduate from high school and go to college."
"..." After boasting, I felt an invisible thunder striking my head, causing me to instantly become petrified and my whole body to be scorched.
Until Sister Song Qi finished eating and wiped her mouth, she threw a piece of gray tile to me, saying that it was a talisman and a gift to celebrate my becoming the first horse. Then she walked out with her head held high and her hands behind her back. She bumped her head against the door and jumped.
I rubbed my feet, rubbed my head, pushed the door and left, and then I regained my composure.
...Twelve years! I have to wait for twelve years!!!
Not right???
So how have I spent these twelve years?
Before going to bed at night, when Lulu heard about this, she laughed like crazy and banged the bed: "Twelve years?"
"Yeah." I agreed weakly.
Lulu stopped laughing immediately and grabbed my hand: "Nuan Ting, isn't it just twelve years? It passes as soon as you close your eyes and open them again."
She grabbed the talisman placed beside my bed and asked, "What is this gray tile?"
"Isn't there any writing on it?" I took a cursory glance and saw that it was really a gray tile, but it was covered with complicated patterns, and every corner was not missed.
Lulu turned it over and looked at it several times: "There's nothing."
"You can't see?"
"..."
I quickly took the talisman seal and looked at it carefully. There were patterns on the front and a row of small characters written on the back.
There are five words on it: the talisman of attracting thunder and calamity
Here’s how to use it: With a talisman for attracting thunder and calamity, a mortal can ignite it with his heart’s blood, and then he can dispatch all the gods of the thunder department in heaven to rain down thunder, and they will all perish together. This is an exclusive good product!
The Lord of Hell can actually control the Thunder Department of Heaven... No, who would use such a thing!
Before I could throw it away, my finger suddenly hurt and a small cut appeared on my fingertip.
The round blood beads were sucked in by the gray tiles, and then the patterns on the gray tiles suddenly flew up. Those patterns turned into a ball of warm yellow light in mid-air, and flew into my chest and heart with a swish.
Location!
"Yeah! It's entered my body!" I jumped up and down like a flea and touched my body for a long time. Strangely, where is the talisman? I couldn't find anything.
Lulu doesn't know what happened yet, so she follows me in a hurry.
"Nuan Ting! What's wrong?"
My brows relaxed little by little: "It's okay, it's just that a ball of light entered my body just now."
"Is that okay?!"
I scratched my head: "It should be fine, Sister Song Qi doesn't seem like a person who would harm others, and she is also the Lord of Hell."
Seeing that I was really fine, Lulu breathed a sigh of relief, pulled back the quilt and called me in: "Anyway, there are still twelve years left, let's go to bed tonight."
