Coffin of the Nether World - C97
The Lame Zhao people briefly explained to me, for example, what kind of people would mysteriously get sick, why did they randomly break their wealth, why did they mysteriously lose their position, why did they hear noises from the ceiling at night, why did they see people floating past their houses at night, and so on.
He said that if he was building this house and taking on the woodworking part of it, then he could control all these things, and it sounded really cool to me.
After Lame Zhao finished speaking, he looked at me proudly and asked: “How is it? What do you think? Do you want to learn? ”
Although the words I said earlier were a bit contradictory, but I didn’t directly say that I wouldn’t learn. Since master told me to come, then I must do as master says.
Lame Zhao rolled his eyes at my fearless look and said: “Didn’t your master say that you are very honest? What’s going on with you? ”
I chuckled dryly and replied, “I’m honest. I’m not stupid. I don’t want to learn anything for free.”
Lame Zhao squinted at me and said: “I feel like I was sold by your master, but I still have to help him count the money!”
I didn’t say anything else. Actually, I didn’t think that Master would let me come from Lame Zhao to learn Wood Appetite Technique. Could it be that he wanted me to continue growing up faster?
Honestly speaking, there is no doubt that the things inside the San Qing Book gave me endless benefits. Maybe it’s because I was able to enter a mysterious realm related to San Qing Book, so I can understand the content of San Qing Book very quickly.
Sometimes, I would be in a bad mood, but when I saw the strange beasts and mountains and rivers that looked like a painting made of ink, they would appear to me like silent movies. I wouldn’t repeat them, and my mood would slowly settle down.
I asked my master, who said it was called a “state of mind.”
In the end, I still asked the Lame Zhao what the situation was with the contradictions at the entrance, and he also said that he was about to die.
Lame Zhao suddenly laughed out loud and said to me: “This world is originally a contradictory world, the situation of Feng Shui at my door is not contradictory, other people do not have the final say, but he alone has the final say! Do you know that Luban lacks any skills? ”
I nodded and said that I knew that all the people who studied the Luban technique had to have one flaw in their life, and that was inevitable. Some of them might have been broken limbs, some might have been short lives, some might have been dead, and so on. These were all the curses that the craftsman profession had to bear.
But I don’t know about Mr. Yin Yang, since Master hasn’t told me about it, and there’s no record of it on the San Qing Book.
Lame Zhao smiled bitterly and said, “Ordinary craftsmen can only carry one curse, but I can only carry two. One is a broken limb, and the other one is a short life.”
It was only after Lame Zhao said this that I realized why he said those words. He already knew in his heart that he wouldn’t live for long, which was why he made such a scene in front of his own door to vent his dissatisfaction.
“Then teach me. I will definitely study hard and strive to learn everything about you.” If there was a lack of a technique, I would learn it from Luban. I would have to bear the curse and could not change it, so I did not say much.
And since Lame Zhao is saying this, then even though he is not satisfied, he must have accepted it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called me here.
“I don’t have much to give you, and I don’t have that much time either. How about this, come back tomorrow morning, I’ll say a few words to you.”
The old man from the village ahead came to look for me, and said that there seems to be something wandering around in his room, something bad, I agreed to something then, but I still haven’t gone yet. Why don’t you go take a look, I personally saw him building the house, there shouldn’t be any problems with the beams and pillars.
After that, Lame Zhao kicked me out, but I wasn’t angry. I really don’t know about Lame Zhao’s temper, but I’ll just come over tomorrow morning anyway.
Lame Zhao said that the old man was the oldest person in the village when he was young, and now I can estimate that he was sixty years old, seventy years old, and ninety years old, and I don’t even know how old he is, but everyone in the village said that he was probably close to a hundred years old. Everyone in the village respected him, and living to one hundred years old was like a real big birthday.
Thus, I eliminated the possibility of someone deliberately scaring the old man. After all, if someone really did scare him and cause some problems, then that person definitely wouldn’t be able to stay in the village.
There was a laurel tree planted at the entrance. Although the house was just a newly built yard on the first floor, there was a low fence outside the yard. I pushed it open and walked in.
Then there was actually a mouth of spring water bubbling in the yard. He didn’t understand it when he was young, so he thought that it would be fun to have water coming out of the mouth of this spring.
Now that I think about it, the laurel tree is a symbol of wealth, the banyan tree is a symbol of longevity, and this spring that hasn’t stopped since I was young is nourishing this small land.
There must be water veins beneath the ground in the old gramps’ home, it would be hard to not live a long life!
At this time, the old man walked out. His hair was completely white, as if he was talking about his age, but his body still looked energetic! I was probably too old to see, so I stood in front of the fence. He actually didn’t see me.
With a cup in hand, I scooped up a cup in front of the spring and gulped it down with a “gulp” as my jaw dropped.
We trotted over and said, “Old man, why don’t you drink some cold water? What if you freeze your body? You are the Bao`er of our village now. ”
The old man didn’t seem to be surprised by my appearance, or perhaps he was already used to people occasionally coming here to talk to him.
He said to me, “What treasure? Let me tell you, it is from drinking this spring water that I can live to this day. Otherwise, I would have been buried long ago.”
“Aiya, old man, don’t say such unlucky things. I am called over by Grandpa Zhao to help you see the problem you’re talking about.” Calling myself a grandson was actually something only I knew I was taking advantage of.
“Oh!” Are you the mark of that kid Zhao? “That’s good then that’s good. I just feel like something is always hanging around my door these past two days …”
“Alright, alright, old man, Grandpa Zhao already told me. You don’t need to say this again.” When people get old and like to whisper, I hurriedly stopped the old man.
Of course I understand the importance of the old man and I don’t dare to be careless. In the daytime, I already opened a Nether Path, but of course I didn’t see anything.
Perhaps because of his age, the three lamps on his forehead and shoulders were weaker than most people.
However, it was obvious that the old gramps didn’t have any problems with it. I had specially inspected the interior and exterior of the old gramps’ room, but didn’t have any problems with it, so I was at a loss.
The old man didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all, so I got curious and asked him why he wasn’t worried.
The old man was especially relaxed as he said to me, “You’ve already lived for so long. Even if you wanted to die, you wouldn’t be able to stop me. The heavens would still want to take my life.”
Even though I really admire the old man’s open-minded attitude, I can’t bear to see it. I still think that I’m scared to death.
I asked the old man if there were any of those shadows he mentioned these past few days every night.
The old man said yes, but he didn’t seem to want to harm him.
So I’m going to sneak out tonight and maybe catch this thing then!
It’s fine if he’s a ghost, but if it’s a prank, then I’m prepared to beat him up like a ghost. After all, scaring the elderly is really too immoral.
