Mystery Leaks

Chapter 380 Grandpa's Letter

I had no idea whether to believe this old man or not, so I looked at Hu Lai and Huang Mao.

The two pondered for a moment, then nodded.

So I followed behind the skinny old man. He seemed to be able to blow him away in a gust of wind, but he was really walking like flying.

After turning left and right, we walked for about a quarter of an hour and came to a small thatched cottage.

"Wait."

The skinny old man turned around and said, then opened the door and entered the thatched hut. The moment the door opened, I was surprised to find that there was a coffin inside, which was placed in the middle of the room, supported by three stools, and beside it was a coffin. Only a small staircase of two or three steps bordered the coffin.

Huang Mao also saw it, and his face changed. I wanted to ask, but he stopped him with his eyes, motioning to stop talking.

The skinny old man groped in the house for a long time before he opened the door again, handed it to me with a yellowed letter in his hand, and said, "This is left to you by Meng Yanji. I don't know if you will or not." I will come to get it, and if you come, I will give you this letter; go quickly, this place is not suitable for you to stay for long."

After finishing speaking, it turned back to the house and closed the door.

I took a look at the letter and suddenly became excited. It was in Grandpa's handwriting.

The envelope reads: My grandson Meng Lei personally signed it.

Grandpa is a man of culture, and he has his own style of writing with a calligraphy brush. He once told me that his handwriting cannot be imitated by ordinary people.

The envelope was yellowed, obviously old and had a wax seal on it.

I crushed the sealing wax, took out the letter inside, and saw that it read:

My grandson Meng Lei, when you read this letter, it means that your grandpa’s luck was wrong, and you finally went to the fate of the Meng family; the good news is that you can come here and see this letter, which means that You have grown up and have the ability to walk in the world.Grandpa doesn't know what will happen in the future, so he left this letter just to tell you that the Meng family has a heavy mission, but since you have reached this point, you must go forward bravely, abandon all distracting thoughts, and abandon all back roads.

The secrets of the Meng family involve a secret, and Grandpa only discovered a part of it, and he can't tell you about it. You can only wait for you to discover it yourself.

But you have to remember one thing, it is no accident that you can come here, remember to remember!
The road ahead is very difficult and dangerous. Grandpa doesn’t know if he will be separated from you forever in the future. If there is such a day, don’t blame grandpa.

In addition, the person who wrote you the letter once owed grandpa a favor. You can ask him for help when you are helpless, but there is only one chance.

After that, it was signed: Meng Yanji, written in Xuedong in [-].

The letter was very short, and my eyes couldn't help getting wet after reading it. Grandpa had predicted that something might happen to him, but he didn't know exactly what would happen in the future, so he left a letter in advance that he didn't know if he would use it or not. letter.

As a result, it was used, because I came and shattered the so-called "fluke" of grandpa.

I understand what he meant by "lucky", which is to keep me away from Fashixing. For this reason, my grandfather even cut off the relationship network in Fashixing, resigned from his position as the leader of the Southern Law Association, and devoted himself to raising me at home and keeping me away from the law. Doing legal deeds, escaping the "destiny" that the Meng family was destined for.

This letter was written by my grandfather 14 years ago, when I was only seven years old!

What does this mean?
It explains that when I was six years old, my grandfather was still wandering in the Buddhist temple. Maybe something happened to him here, so he wrote this letter and decided to let me stay away from the Buddhist temple.

When I was seven years old, it was the time when I really started to remember things.

What happened to grandpa, or what happened to the Meng family?Cause grandpa to make a move to keep me away from Fashixing?
You know, the Meng family is the leader of generations, and it used to be the number one family in Dharma practice. Grandpa wants me to give up the glory of my ancestors, give up everything that once belonged to the Meng family, and become an ordinary person.

If grandpa hadn't detected something, he would have seen a ghost.

This is also reflected in my grandfather's letter, repeatedly telling me that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but once I embark on the journey of finding the truth and mission, I must go forward without even leaving myself a way out.

After reading the entire letter, my grandfather revealed helplessness and love for me between the lines. He tried his best, but he couldn't change anything.

While being sentimental, I focused my attention on the line in the middle of the letter: Remember, it is no accident that you came here, remember it!
My heart suddenly lit up, indeed, it was no accident.

If it was accidental, grandpa would not have left this letter. When grandpa wrote this letter, he had predicted that one day I would enter the Dharma practice and have the ability to travel the world, so I would definitely come here.

This is exactly what I can't figure out. Where does this necessity come from?

Why do I have to come here?
It doesn't make sense, first Feng Daniu disappeared, and then Jinpen Township's thunderstorm formation needed protection, without Feng Daniu, so Wang Jian'an helped to find it. It happened that Gu Li outside the Zongcai found Feng Daniu's trace, and I rushed over after getting the news.

Looking back together, it seems that there is nothing inevitable?

"What did the letter say?" Cao Nan leaned over and asked.

I hesitated for a moment, and gave him the letter directly. There were no secrets in it. My grandfather unearthed something 14 years ago, but I couldn’t explain it clearly, and my grandfather had no idea what would happen in the next 14 years. Complete grasp, so nothing not to see.

Cao Nan immediately opened the letter, and Hu Lai and Huang Mao also went over to read it.

After reading it, they were equally at a loss, Cao Nan said: "What do you mean we came here by no means by chance?"

Hu Lai pondered for a while, and if he had a clear understanding, he said, "This sentence means that we were lured here."

"Temptation?!"

Cao Nan and I were taken aback, and I hurriedly said, "Where do we start?"

"Hehe, interesting." Huang Mao smiled, his eyes flickering, and said: "From the time of Feng Daniu's disappearance, I am afraid that something wants you to come here."

My back felt numb all of a sudden, yes.

The sudden disappearance of Feng Daniu and his wife has always puzzled me. It seems that my intuition is correct. There is a conspiracy behind Feng Daniu's disappearance.

Someone, or something, is using Feng Daniu to lure me here.

"No way, so evil?" Cao Nan couldn't believe it, touched his hand and said: "The hair you said is standing on end."

"Whether it is true or not, we will be able to verify it in a while." Hu Lai smiled mysteriously, making a fool of himself.

Huang Mao looked down at this small village dormant in the deep mountains and said with a smile: "This place is really extraordinary."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for me and Cao Nan to ask questions, and said to me directly: "Try, see your grandfather's old friend, would you like to disclose some information to you."

My eyes lit up, right!

Grandpa made it very clear on the envelope, saying that this skinny old man owed him a favor, and he could ask him for help if he needed it.

Of course, this favor is very precious and cannot be used up lightly, but it's okay to charge some interest first, right?

So I stepped forward and prepared to ask about Tiger Leaping Rock. Since something lured me to Tiger Leaping Rock, it must be an unusual place.

In the end, before I could speak, the old man's voice came from the room: "Old man, I still want to live a few more years, you guys go away."

I was choked up in my throat at the last word, and I was extremely uncomfortable. Just when I didn't know whether to advance or retreat, Hu Lai pulled me, shook his head, and signaled to give up.

I had no choice but to say goodbye to the skinny old man, turn around and leave.

After going down the mountain, I couldn't help asking: "Why did you stop me? Maybe he just said it after begging twice?"

"He may sue others, but since you have been rejected, he will not let go." Hu Lai shook his head affirmatively.

"How do you say that?" I was puzzled.

"It's very simple, because of that coffin." Huang Mao said, and then asked: "Do you know what that coffin is for?"

I shook my head.

"It's used to cover up the secrets and feign death to prolong life."

Huang Mao smiled, and then slowly explained: "Lying in a coffin means death. The old man usually uses the coffin as a bed to cover up his secrets and steal a few years of life. God's rule, otherwise, firstly, the secrets cannot be concealed, and secondly, the punishment from the heavens will be even heavier, plus you are full of karma, how dare he reveal the secrets to you; if he does so, he may be struck to death by a thunderbolt from God .”

I was shocked, and thought to myself that there is such a weird method, sleeping in a coffin and feigning death to cover up the secret?
But combined with the skinny old man saying "I want to live a few more years", Hu Lai's guess must be correct, otherwise, whoever has nothing to do with a coffin at home, and there is a ladder next to it, must be used to get in and out of the coffin.

Thinking about the appearance of the skinny old man, he is indeed exhausted, and he is still alive in that state, which is anti-human and anti-science.Obviously, he cheated God by sleeping in a coffin and stealing a few years of life by feigning death.

"Similarly, the Nether Inn is also a place that can hide the secrets. He is either in the inn or in the coffin. I am afraid he has stolen a lot of life yuan." Then, Hu Lai said.

I nodded. The Nether Inn said nicely that people and ghosts communicate with each other, which is similar to doing business, but in fact it is the collusion between humans and ghosts.

If the human-ghost contract is still valid, it's against the rules of heaven. Who would have the guts to go to that kind of place if it can't cover up the secrets?
Just thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is not worthwhile for the skinny old man to do so. He either stays in the Nether Inn or sleeps in a coffin every day, risking the punishment of God, what's the point of living?
It's better to be reincarnated earlier.

In case the secret is leaked and a thunderbolt strikes from heaven, death will be light. The most likely possibility is that the soul will be scattered, completely annihilated, and there will be no chance of reincarnation.

"By the way, you said to verify the conspiracy later, how to verify it?" After a pause, I asked.

"Go to Gu Li, everything will be clear." Hu Lai said, then turned to Gu Li's house.

We were careful to avoid the houses in the village as much as possible to avoid being discovered; it is strange to say that although this small village is said to be small, there are dozens of households, but there is no dog, and occasionally we can hear cattle, sheep and other poultry. The sound of domestic animals, but no barking of dogs.

This is still the first, and the second is that the entire village is still dark, so every house is closed and the lights are turned off, and there is almost no light to be seen. It is like an empty village, with no people at all.

After three turns and two turns, we arrived at Coulee's house.

We knocked on the door, but no one answered. Looking inside through the crack of the door, it was pitch black inside.

Huang Mao then took out a short knife, inserted it into the crack of the door, picked up the crossbar behind it, and slowly pushed the door open.

We really wanted to sneak in silently, but the door did not meet our wishes, making a tooth-piercing sound like "squeak... ah...", which was particularly harsh in the silent night.

Hu Lai had no choice but to call Gu Li a few more times, but still no one answered.

So we walked inside, there was no one in the living room, so we found the bedroom, and there was a person lying on the bed, sleeping wrapped in a blanket.

"Gully!"

I tried to yell, but the person on the bed didn't respond.

This gave us a bad premonition in our hearts, this sleep is too dead, right?

"He's not breathing!"

At this moment, Hu Lai said something abruptly.

I was startled and listened intently, only to find that there was really no sound of breathing, and the blanket didn't have the ups and downs caused by breathing.

"Could it be dead?" Cao Nan swallowed.

"Go and have a look, be careful!" Huang Mao pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth.

We nodded and leaned over cautiously, only to find that this person was completely covered in blankets, with his head not showing.

Huang Mao stretched out his iron sword, and yanked the blanket away.Showing what's underneath gives us the chills.

This is a person, yes, but a paper man~! !
And it's exactly the same as Coulee!
