My master is invincible

Chapter 2310 Please take charge (58)

Hearing this, I didn't care about the old man Liu Shu's greeting earlier, and asked, "What kind of ladle?"

I ask this because the size of the scoop determines how much water can be taken.

He smiled, "I have a water tank at home, it should not be broken, you can just take that."

Then, he looked around the room and said: "After finishing the water in the Yin River, find 27 lotus leaves, and weave a bag with these lotus leaves, and pour the water in the Yin River into the village of Kamen. There are 24 directions, one ladle of water for each direction, and the remaining three ladles of water are poured on the stone pillar in the middle of the village."

Speaking of this, he pinched his fingers and calculated, his brows furrowed, and his tone became hurried, and he said, "After finishing these things, you only need to..."

Don't wait for him to finish.

All of a sudden, the originally sunny weather was bursting with thunder.

In less than a few seconds, a violent storm came suddenly, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl poured down, blasting the roof of the house, and hitting the old man Liu Shu impartially.

This sudden scene scared all of us into screams, and we stepped back a few steps, staring at the willow old man who had been ignited by lightning in front of us.

what's going on?
Got struck by lightning?

Is it God?
Still a coincidence?

I originally wanted to go up to rescue him, but the willow old man didn't know if he had lost his pain sensation or what was going on, but he let the fire burn on his body and sat cross-legged unhurriedly as if nothing happened.

Perhaps the fire burned his vocal cords. When he was burned, the willow old man did not shout, but wrote eight characters slowly on the ground with his hands.

'Separated by a wall, ten thousand steps away'.

After he finished writing these eight characters, he quietly put his hands on his thighs, allowing the fire to burn and spread.

During this period, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and he didn't cry out in pain.

And the three of us kept staring at the old man Willow, trembling all over, and our scalps were numb.

If you are not the person involved, you will never be able to imagine the shock and suffering of a living person being burned to death in front of your eyes.

What I didn't even expect was that Old Man Willow would leave in this way, taking endless doubts with him.

What I still can't understand is that when his bones were completely burned to ashes, the rainstorm stopped suddenly, and a round of red sun slowly climbed out of the clouds, casting endless light spots, shining on the whole land.

Seeing this, the three of us looked at each other, but no one spoke.

In this silence, it took seven or eight minutes before the three of us came to our senses.

Even after recovering, I still can't let go of the scene just now, I just feel like I'm in a dream, which makes people feel so unreal.

However, the pile of ashes on the ground reminded me all the time that this scene just happened really happened.

"Jiuye!" At this moment, Li Ziyan called out to me with a trembling voice.

I looked over at him, he swallowed, pointed to the eight characters on the ground, and asked me: "What does it mean to be separated by a wall and ten thousand steps away?"

Honestly, I don't understand either.

However, after spending less than a minute, I vaguely guessed the meaning of Old Man Willow. If I guessed correctly, these eight characters should refer to the scene we encountered in the cave earlier.

But, I'm not sure.

Immediately, I suppressed the doubts in my heart, walked towards the door, and found that there was a house outside this house, which was exactly the same as the house, the difference was that the wardrobe of this house was opened, while the wardrobe of that house was opened. The wardrobe was intact.

In other words, since we entered Old Man Willow's house, we have actually unknowingly entered a maze arranged by Old Man Willow.

It's just that the level of this labyrinth is too high, even if it's just a few of us, no one finds himself in the labyrinth.

In an instant, I immediately understood the meaning of these eight words.

The old man Liu Shu should be lamenting his whole life. To put it bluntly, in order to accomplish one thing, he did not hesitate to spy on the secrets of the sky, and stole 20 years of his life, just to wait for a destined person.

And he himself is just hiding in the house behind the wall. After 15 years, no one can find it. I have to say that it is really ironic. This is why he wrote "A wall is separated, ten thousand steps away" before he died. such words.

Of course, this is just my guess. As for the truth, perhaps only Old Man Willow knows.

However, what I can't understand is how the willow old man arranged a maze in his room, and how he made us fall into hallucinations unconsciously.

However, with the departure of the willow old man, all of this has become an insoluble mystery.

With my mind at this point, my emotions are a little complicated. On the one hand, I feel sorry for the old man Liushu, and on the other hand, I have a little more doubt about the whole thing.

At this moment, Mei Miaomiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and she said, "Chen Jiu, you said earlier that you encountered nine passages, right?"

I nodded, and I did encounter nine passages in the cave.

However, it has now been confirmed that it was nothing more than an illusion.

However, to my surprise, Mei Miaomiao said, "Have you ever thought about a question?"

"What's the problem?" I asked quickly.

She held her chin and said in a low voice: "Old man Liushu immediately returned to normal after seeing you, and he bought a relatively complete life for 5 minutes, and what he wants to say to you is far from being able to finish in 5 minutes. In other words, is there such a possibility..."

Before she finished speaking, I gave up and subconsciously said, "You mean he let me see some things that didn't happen in advance?"

Mei Miaomiao nodded heavily.

I took a deep breath and thought about it carefully. If the old man Liu Shu really told me something that didn't happen in this way as Mei Miaomiao said, that is to say, we will still encounter a cave?
But, if this is the case, Old Man Willow should tell me as soon as he wakes up.

However, when he thought that the willow old man only had 5 minutes to live, he probably didn't have time to explain so much.

After all, since he fully recovered his life, every word he said was teaching me how to break the curse of Carmen Village, without any nonsense.

Could it be... as Mei Miaomiao said?

For a while, I didn't know what to do, so I had to temporarily regard all that as an illusion.

However, at the moment when I had this doubt, another question popped up again. Before his death, the willow old man said that after letting me drench the 27 ladles of water, I still need to do one thing.

As for what to do, he didn't say it.

This makes me depressed, I really don't know what to say.

However, I didn't think too much about it. After all, the first task we came to find the old man Liushu was to solve the matter of Ma Shangfa. As long as we can solve his problem and gain the trust of the villagers in Kamen Village, I don't trust so many people, and I can't bear it. a curse.

Afterwards, the three of us packed the ashes of the old man Liushu in a wooden box, and cleaned his room again, which was the last explanation for the old man Liushu.

After cleaning Old Man Willow's room, I put his ashes in the closet, and asked Li Ziyan to find some candles and ingots to burn in front of his ashes, and finally closed the closet slowly.

Best of all, the three of us walked out of the house.

Standing outside the house and looking at the scene not far away, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness in my heart. I felt that whether it was the old man Liushu or the villagers of Kamen Village, or even Ma Shangfa, Ma Shanglai, and Ma Xiaxia, they were all poor people.

"Jiuye!" That Li Ziyan pulled me suddenly, and said softly: "The dead are gone, and the living are like this. We still need to break the curse of Carmen Village."

I hummed heavily and stopped talking. I led the two of them straight out of the village and went straight to Carmen Village.
