husband from hell

Chapter 219 Yellow Paper Comb
Seeing that, before leaving, the troublesome alarm came first.

The fourth aunt asked Luo Weilan and the earrings to clean it, but she pulled me over and asked in a low voice, "Lu Qiao, did you see what that raven was carrying?"

I hesitated for a moment, but said, "I didn't see it."

The fourth aunt frowned and thought about it, then said, "That's fine."

"Hey," I hurriedly grabbed my fourth aunt's grandmother: "Look, should there be something?"

"I wondered who sent it." The fourth aunt said: "You heard it just now. This raven is from Kunlun Mountain. Liu Juhua can't do it. I want to ask if there is any clue. If not, There is no other way."

If it's not Mrs. Liu, then it's probably that strange old man.

What is his background?I'm getting more and more curious.And that thing, does it have something to do with Cheng Ke?
With a full stomach, he helped to clean up all those messy things, but he thought of Ah Jiu for no reason.

After Ajiu was driven away by Calamus, she doesn't know what's going on now. Can she live without her body?No, with Ah Jiu's ability, her vitality must be stronger than that of a tardigrade, and she probably got some kind of body somewhere, and in that body she is planning how to get revenge on Calamus.

So instead of worrying about her, it's better to worry about yourself first.

Back in the house, I asked Cheng Ke directly: "What is that thing?"

Cheng Ke turned his head and said, "Are you interested?"

"Seeing that you didn't show it in front of others, I guess it's a very important thing. The fourth aunt asked, but I didn't say anything." I stared at Cheng Ke: "Is it gold?"

Cheng Ke took my hand, took out the golden thing, put it on my hand, and said: "The eyeliner who hid among us last time and tampered with the car and wasted time has not been found yet. Of course, it’s not easy to tell the outside world, I saw this thing when I was alive, but it was very rare, and I only saw it once in total, and it was given to Wei Qiancheng by someone.”

It was a small golden sign. I don't know what kind of craftsmanship it was. The strands of lines looked ingenious, a bit like the circuit on a calling card: "This... should be used to transmit information, just like a letter. Bar?"

"That's right." Cheng Ke said, "This is called the Passing Soul Card, something unique to Kunlun Mountain."

"The soul card?" I asked strangely: "What does this mean?"

"That is to say, this thing can carry fragments of someone's soul, to preserve that person's memory, and to pass on news. It should be to say something to the second grandpa." Cheng Ke said: "It should be quite The important thing is something like an agreed place or an action plan, if we can find out what is recorded in it, then we can know who the person behind Second Grandpa is."

"It's so important?" My mood also cheered up: "Can you see it?"

Cheng Ke shook his head and said: "This requires a specific person to use a specific way to open it, similar to the current coded telegram, although it cannot be opened now, but you can keep it by your side. If you get the way to open it, you will know. "

"You know a lot, and you can also send coded telegrams..." I wanted to laugh when I heard it: "How do you know this kind of thing?"

"Don't you often like to watch spy war movies?" Cheng Ke said indifferently: "I also watched a few times."

It's really clever.

I grabbed the gold medal and murmured: "Second Grandpa wants us to stay in that Kunlun Mountain, what are you careful about..."

"It should not be less." Cheng Ke put my fingers holding the brand together, and said, "Don't tell others that you have this thing, maybe it will come in handy in the future."

I nodded hurriedly: "I remember."

"Go to sleep." Cheng Ke's slender and cold hands slid across my face: "It looks much better now."

The edema has subsided a lot.

The next day, my third aunt, who knows Chinese medicine, came to check on me, and said there was nothing to do, and I must not touch alcohol again. She even bought some allergy medicine for me and put it in my luggage.

The fourth aunt tidied up a backpack for me, and said: "It's all useful, keep it for yourself, and be careful in everything."

"I understand." He nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Fourth Aunt."

The fourth aunt is usually very energetic, but today, for no reason, she showed a feeling of fatigue and vicissitudes unique to an elderly person for the first time. She nodded and looked at Cheng Ke: "Bon voyage."

Cheng Ke nodded slightly.

Kunlun Mountain is not far from Xichuan. We drive from Tanshen Town, and it should be a day's journey.

The scenery of late autumn flows quickly from the car window. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the leaves that have been dyed yellow by wind and frost have fallen all over the ground, and the eyes are full of deep and shallow yellow-green, which is especially beautiful among the mountains. , like an unfolding picture scroll...but it is also sad, late autumn is coming to an end, and winter is coming soon.

The drive along the way was very smooth. When we got on the expressway, we didn’t see many cars. We accelerated all the way. In the afternoon, we arrived at a rest stop. We got off the car and stretched our muscles. By the way, we asked the staff where we were going. How far is it from here.

The staff member heard: "Are you going to Kunlun Mountain? Self-driving tour? It's not easy to go there, so it's better to find a hotel in advance." He said, and gave us a leaflet: "These are the hotels nearby. When you get there, it should be time to move in."

I took the flyer, and it really wasn't far from where we were going.

Gong Beibei also poked her head over and said, "It looks good, is there a presidential suite?"

"They're all that kind of small inns. They probably have local characteristics. They don't necessarily have luxurious suites." Luo Weilan said with a well-informed look: "Then let's find a hotel first, and then look for the one we should look for at dawn tomorrow." Place, it must be too late today, it is better to rest and insure first."

When the ear stud heard it, he quickly said: "I think so, so let's make a decision... Hey, the front desk of this hotel seems to be a beauty, let's stay for one night."

"The place you are going to is a bit unsafe at night," the staff said enthusiastically, "but you can enter the house before the sun goes down. It is a custom in that area that no one will open the door when the sun goes down. It is a superstition, yes." , but we have to respect folk customs."

By the way, the fourth aunt said that there is a lot of attention here, and it seems to be the same as when I was in Xichuan, and it is good to go to the countryside and do as the Romans do.

Luo Weilan said: "This place is not far from Xichuan. I have been here many times. The customs and habits are similar to Xichuan. Everything is possible with me."

"Oh, Wei Lan, you are really amazing!" Gong Beibei is actually from Xichuan, but he still looks like he admires him: "Then I will listen to you."

I looked at my watch, there were still two or three hours before the sun set.

After exiting the rest stop, we quickly boarded the Panshan Highway, and along the Panshan Highway, a section further inside should be the hotel.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Earring yelled: "Oh, Brother Wei Lan, stop, stop, stop!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Weilan stepped on the brakes: "Earring, what's wrong with you?"

"People have three urgencies, my stomach hurts..." Earring's face turned pale, sweating profusely, he opened the car door and got behind the bushes.

I didn't come out for a long time.

"Earrings!" Luo Weilan looked at his watch, a little impatiently: "Are you ready? It will be dark any later!"

"Hey... soon, soon!" Earring said sadly: "Maybe I am not acclimatized, and I don't know what the hell I ate wrongly. Oh, my intestines are about to come out..."

In this way, the ear stud had diarrhea many times, and he couldn't stop him, because if Fan Luo Weilan stopped the car a little slower, he claimed to take off his pants on the seat to solve it without stopping.

So, when we arrived at a place with a hotel, it was an hour and a half later than expected, and it was already dark. As the rest station staff said, no hotel was willing to open the door.

Gong Beibei was unhappy, and complained on the spot: "The earrings are all your fault, can't you bear it?"

"If you were me, would you be able to bear it?" The stud earrings were blushing, but immediately clutched their stomachs and said, "No, I'm feeling it again... Where's the paper?"

"You used it up." Luo Weilan said angrily, "Just find some leaves."

Hearing the earrings, there was nothing he could do, and he really got into the bushes again.

Cheng Ke looked around and saw someone peeking behind the door of a house, so he passed by and asked, "Excuse me, is there any room for people around here?"

"Eh?" A young woman's voice came from behind the crack of the door. Seeing Cheng Ke coming suddenly, she seemed to be taken aback, but hesitated for a moment, and said, "Well... there is a temple on the mountainside, there, maybe, maybe There will be people left."

"Hey, why don't you keep people here when it's dark?" the man with the earrings behind the bushes couldn't help but raise his voice and asked.

"Because..." the voice of the young girl behind the crack of the door murmured, "It's getting dark, and on Kunlun Mountain, there will be that kind of thing that pretends to be a human and wants to sneak in. We don't know how to tell the difference." , Of course I dare not open the door.”

"That kind of thing?" Earring had already stood up from behind the bushes with his pants up, and said carelessly: "Look, don't we look like that kind of thing?"

The little girl still looked frightened and refused to speak.

"You..." The ear stud still wanted to go up and say a few more words, "Okay," Luo Weilan dragged the ear stud and said, "Don't find fault with the culprit. Since she said there is a temple, let's go up and have a look."

Cheng Ke and I walked behind, and suddenly heard the little girl say: "You...you don't look like that kind of thing, because I've never seen such a good-looking person, but they look like gods."

By the way, Kunlun Mountain is a legendary mountain. It is conceivable that the people who live here believe in ghosts and gods.

She was talking about Cheng Ke, right?It's a pity that Cheng Ke is exactly what she calls "that kind of thing". Judging people by their appearance is always disappointing.

Cheng Ke's thin lips curled up, but he didn't say anything.

"Don't open the door for others casually!" The little girl said one more sentence: "Here, when it gets dark, there is everything."

I thanked that little girl, still reluctantly watching for a long time in the crack of the door.

Continue to go up the mountain road, turn a few circles, and finally find a temple.

That small temple... How should I put it, it is quite big, but probably the incense is not particularly strong, it looks in disrepair, and it is as dilapidated as Cheng Ke's small temple.

Luo Weilan got out of the car and knocked on the gate decorated with old bronze animal heads: "Is there anyone? We are from out of town. We missed the sunset and have no place to live. If possible, can I ask Baosha?" convenient?"

Luo Weilan's words were gentle and elegant, quaint, like in a costume drama, and Gong Beibei showed an expression of admiration again.

But behind the gate, no one opened the door for a long time. Luo Weilan sighed and said: "The mountain road is dangerous, and we can't go down the mountain and drive back. If we knew this, we might as well stay in the rest area. We can't do it now." So good to spend the night in the car…”

As they said that, the whole group cast their eyes of condemnation on the face of the ear stud, but the ear stud didn't feel any guilt at all, and said with a straight neck: "Can this be my fault? No one wants this kind of thing to happen... "

"Okay, you don't want to play TVB anymore, do you want to eat it for you?" Gong Beibei stared at the earrings.

"I can't wish for it!" The earrings were still salivating, but Cheng Ke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his peach blossom eyes to look at the door, and said: "Here is the man."

"Huh?" Gong Beibei was taken aback: "But I didn't hear footsteps at all..."

Before Gong Beibei could finish speaking, the door of the small temple opened with a squeak, and a boy of seventeen or eighteen appeared at the dark door. With a smooth head, he looked decent, and said crisply: "How many laymen called the door?"

"Hey, yes, yes!" Earring saw the door opened, and happily passed by: "We want to disturb you here for one night, and we will pay all the money we should pay!"

"The monks don't talk about worldly things, that's the merit of the layman himself," the young man said sternly, "If you don't dislike our place, then please..."

"I don't dislike it. In such a cold day, it's good to have a bed and quilt. What do you dislike?" The earrings didn't wait for the little monk to continue to give up. When the word "please" came out of his mouth, he sold it on his own. A high threshold enters: "We live..."

The earrings did not say the second half of the sentence.

I followed in, but was also taken aback. Although this small temple is not big, there are more than a dozen coffins, large and small, neatly arranged in the yard, as if welcoming guests.

"This is..." Gong Beibei was also stunned.

"Kunlun Mountain is a sacred place. Some tourists may have offended the opportunity and died, but no one claimed them. These are the remains of those tourists," the boy said, "Because their families could not be found, we had to stay here temporarily. Keep guard, lest they be contaminated with the aura of the sacred mountain and disturb others here, so we have to store it in the temple for peace of mind, and wait until their family members find it, and then claim it back.”

"It turned out to be a merit." Luo Weilan immediately expressed her understanding: "We also eat a bowl of yin and yang, so we don't care about it."

"That would be great." The young man nodded, and led us inside: "The back is the guest room reserved for lay Buddhists to burn incense."

I took Cheng Ke's hand, and Cheng Ke seemed to be very interested in this place, and turned his head to look around.

"I'm talking about brother," Gong Beibei asked, "Are you the only one practicing here? It's hard work!"

"I still have a master," the young man said with a very honest look, "but the master is not in good health and cannot come out to meet him. Please don't be offended, laymen."

"You guys are quite tolerant of loneliness," Gong Beibei exclaimed, "It's really pious."

"There is really a place where the birds don't shit..." As soon as I said this, I only heard a "grunt", and the stomach of the earring made a strange noise again: "Oh, I'll go, little master, is there a hut in this place? Let me use it..."

"Layman, please." The young man pointed us to a few guest rooms, and then went to find the bathroom with earrings.

It seems that there is no electricity here, and the interior is all lit by candles. It looks like a building from the last century. Anyway, I only stayed for one night, so there is nothing to dislike. Tomorrow, I will go to that place to find "龑". .

After groping for water to wash up in the dark, I lay down on the bed first, but Cheng Ke was still looking at the coffins at the window, as if looking at something.

I asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Those coffins are very clean." Cheng Ke turned his head sideways and said, "Didn't you see it? There is no yin at all."

"Really..." After he said this, I realized: "It's strange, how could there be no yin energy in the place where the spirit stops... Is it because there is Buddha's blessing here?"

"Buddha..." Cheng Ke's thin lips curled up: "This temple is not dedicated to Buddha, otherwise, how could I come in?"

"Huh?" I immediately realized: "By the way... what kind of place is this?"

"I saw that the plaque at the door said it was a deer fairy temple." Cheng Ke said: "But the incense has been cut off for a long time, and there is no main god."

"Deer Immortal? Isn't that young man here to cultivate and specialize in worship?" I thought for a while: "Could it be... this is just a cover, in fact, he is doing something else..."

"Who knows." Cheng Ke said, "This place is like a post."

"Isn't the post station just a place to rest?" I continued, "Then..."

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend others," Cheng Ke said calmly, "Anyway, it's only one night, go to sleep."

Hitting my head on the pillow, I thought to myself, is this a station for the dead?Those coffins have no yin... is it because they are out wandering and not in the temple?
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me.

Halfway through the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the sound of someone next door panting violently, as if they were running 200 meters, and I didn't know who was so free.

I didn't pay attention, turned over, rested my head on Cheng Ke's chest, and continued to sleep.

But aware of it, he quietly pushed my head away.

The night was quite smooth, and I didn't see anything I shouldn't have seen.

Soon, the sun rose, I opened my eyes and got up, took my things to wash up, and prepared to look for things to continue my life, so I can finish it early and rest assured.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gong Beibei suddenly ran in and shouted, "Lu Qiao, stop brushing your teeth, something happened to the earrings!"

"What?" I was taken aback: "Did he fall into the cesspit?"

"No... hey..." Gong Beibei pulled me up and said anxiously, "You'll find out when you come and see."

I looked back at Cheng Ke, and Cheng Ke followed me.

When we arrived at the room where the ear studs lived, Luo Weilan had already come first, and was staring at the ear studs with a frown. Seeing us coming, she sighed: "This guy will really cause trouble."

I looked at the ear stud, and saw that the face of the ear stud was a little pale, and there was something black stuffed around his mouth.

I got closer, opened the mouth of the earring, and then saw that his mouth was full of long black hair.

"This is..." I froze for a moment, remembering the gasping voice from yesterday: "What's going on?"

"We got into trouble that shouldn't be caused, it seems that we can't leave for the time being." Luo Weilan unceremoniously opened the earrings, and I saw a comb stuck to the back of the earrings .

It was a comb cut out of yellow paper.

"A comb?" I widened my eyes: "What's the matter?"
