piecing together the soul

Chapter 150 86 Still Tonight
Action always dissolves fear.When we reached a place where we could no longer drive, the three of us parked the car, carried our backpacks and got out of the car.

"Let's go to your bones while it's still daylight." Master Xu said, "It's best to confirm the location first, and then dig when the time comes. When we dig, we'll leave. To avoid more troubles."

I also agreed, so I echoed Master Xu's words, but brother Xiu didn't answer us for a long time.

"Brother Xiu, what's wrong with you?" I stepped forward and shook his arm, but he still kept his head down and didn't speak.

Seeing this, I squatted down and looked up at his lowered head, and said, "What's the matter with you? Do you still feel uneasy? Then you take us there quickly, and go back quickly so that the night will not be full of dreams."

Brother Xiu then slowly opened his mouth: "Let me tell you the truth, in fact... my bones are not on the mountain where Changling is backed, but in the soil of... the mound of Changling. ..."

Unprepared, Master Xu and I were stunned.

To be honest, the soil of that mound is not difficult to open, from a physical point of view.We are afraid of other things, because the Changling Mausoleum is not open to people, so there may be something inside, and if we move the soil on the mound, it is likely to disturb the things inside.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Is that why you feel uneasy?"

Master Xu said the first sentence, and I said the latter sentence.Sure enough, Master Xu paid more attention to bone digging, while I paid more attention to... Brother Xiu.

"That's right, that's why I'm uneasy." Brother Xiu said, "I didn't say it earlier... because the person who came with me last time was Master Xu's father, and I didn't want him to touch my bones, so I just I said the wrong place... I didn't expect him to tell you when he went back... Later, when I wanted to tell you alone, I couldn't find a chance, and I couldn't open my mouth..."

"Do you have to wait until this time to say yes?" Master Xu seemed a little annoyed. Normally, things of this level would not be worthy of anger, but perhaps it was because of inner uneasiness that caused everyone to become more angry.

"Forget it, Mr. Xu." Although I felt a little uncomfortable seeing Mr. Xu getting angry because of such a small matter, I still tried to persuade him, "With your personality, you shouldn't be angry because of brother Xiu's words. The location is not so dangerous, so why don’t you bring something less?”

Master Xu bit his lip, thought for a while, and said, "That's why I'm uneasy... Because I guess there's nothing wrong with Xiuying's location, so a lot of things that I usually bring are not here this time." I didn't bring anything... I was thinking, I didn't bring anything with me just this once, but please don't make any mistakes..."

Hearing what Master Xu said, I felt even more uncertain: "Sure enough...What I'm worried about will always happen...Why don't we go back today, get our things, and come back tomorrow."

"No." Master Xu categorically refused to agree.

Brother Xiu persuaded him, "Xiaohan, let's go back today. Since we all feel flustered, something must happen at night, so let's avoid it. It won't take two days."

"But..." Master Xu said, "I just went back empty-handed, what should I say? Did I say that I went out without all my things? Or did you say that you lied to them, Xiuying, that the bones were not there at all?" On the back mountain? If it is true that the bones are on the graveyard, my dad will definitely follow no matter what, and maybe even my mother will come, so what is the point of our stalemate with them for so long before?"

"Then what do you mean?" I retorted him immediately, "Master Xu, this is not you. You wouldn't take your own life as a joke just for the sake of being so arrogant."

"Why isn't this me?"

Xiuying also persuaded: "Xiaohan, people say that a man can bend and stretch, so you should be wronged and wronged first, and bow to your parents. Qingluan is right, you can't lose your life just because of your anger. "

"Who says I don't want to die?" Master Xu was surprisingly stubborn, "Those things that I didn't bring are actually nothing. In fact, they are just in case. As long as there are no accidents, maybe they won't be needed... So, if we don’t want to be so cautious, it’s okay for us to go like this.”

As he spoke, he was about to move forward. I immediately grabbed him and said, "I know, your parents have always underestimated your inheritance of the family, so you are eager to prove it to them. But I don't want to die, and I don't want to die." Watching you die."

"Now that you understand, you should know that I can't just go back in despair."

I am helpless, in fact his parents did not underestimate him, but it is difficult for me to explain this truth to him in one or two sentences, so I can only solve the problem and ask: "It's okay to go, you tell me, Did you bring anything?"

"I didn't bring the moxibustion stick, the soul-suppressing lock, and the turquoise dagger... I was afraid I would lose the gossip mirror, so I didn't bring it... There are a lot of medicinal powders, I didn't bring it, but maybe you all I have brought them, such as ghost touch powder..." Mr. Xu counted what he didn't bring, and I remembered them one by one. There were about twenty items, and half of them were indeed only available for special occasions. I got it, and the other half was indeed because he underestimated the enemy so he didn't bring it.

"How is it, Mr. Guo?" Mr. Xu said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if we don't bring these things with us. We should hurry up and find the right place. When the time comes, we will dig up the bones and we will evacuate immediately. I believe there will be no problem."

"How do you guarantee it?" Brother Xiu asked back.

They were still arguing, I didn't continue to listen, but thought about what I had brought and whether it could complement Master Xu.Finally, I made up my mind: "Let's go tonight."
