Chapter 95: Not Deserving Death
I grew up listening to Chen Dahong's stories, and I did learn a lot from him. At that time, I thought he was simple, kind, honest, and I liked him more than the old blind man who raised me. But under this kind appearance, he hid a sinister and cunning heart. It's not an exaggeration to say that I learned this from him.
Chen Dahong's face sank: "Are you not going to tell me?"
"Not really. As long as you save Xiaoxi, I will tell you right away." I stared at him coldly, without any hesitation.
Chen Dahong's face turned pale with anger. He rolled his eyes and finally suppressed his anger and said, "Well, I don't have the ability to save her. I can only tell you how to break the ghost tongue curse..."
"If you told me to find the demon corpse to solve the problem, then you might as well not tell me. I have been back to the ancient tomb and you have killed it."
Chen Dahong looked at me in surprise and said, "So you know how to break the ghost tongue curse, then why are you asking me?"
"Then how did you break the ghost tongue curse?" I thought to myself, he shouldn't have forced the other party to take back the curse before killing the demon corpse, right?
"I wasn't cursed at all. Because I took precautions a long time ago. I cut a piece of zombie meat from the corpse of Lu Ci'an's father and carried it with me. When I entered the ancient tomb, I held it in my mouth. This would make the demon corpse mistakenly think that I had been cursed by the ghost tongue, and it would not cast the poisonous curse again." Chen Dahong said proudly.
I suddenly realized that this is how I can avoid the curse. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It seems that this is destined. Xiaoxi can't escape this disaster. When people are desperate, they often think that it is destined. Once things turn around, they will think that it is God's will. Since God has arranged this fate, why do we have to change it with our own hands? Are we just bored?
As for Xiao Xi, I have done fortune-telling for her when I was free. Although I don't know her horoscope, I have touched her bones in an ancient tomb before, so I can make do with it. Because I have learned fortune-telling from an old blind man since I was a child, I have some experience in bone-touching. I didn't think about it at the time, but now I think about her bones and body shape, which are the same as mine. Later I understood why the old blind man named me Yu, because I was born with fish bones.
The symbol of the Fishbone Hexagram is: People with this bone love to travel, traveling across continents and houses endlessly, working hard all their lives without any inheritance, but never worrying about food and clothing in their old age.
This kind of fate is average, hard work throughout life, and happiness in old age. But our "bone structure" does not show signs of early death, which means that although life is rough, we will not die early. At this moment, I suddenly remembered this fortune telling two years ago. I think Xiaoxi will not die, and I can live. However, fortune telling cannot be fully believed. After all, it is something illusory and cannot be accurate.
But at this moment, when I was feeling discouraged, I would rather believe that Xiaoxi and I still had a lot of time to live. So I racked my brains to think about what a fox sparrow is and how to get it out.
Seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time, Chen Dahong was afraid that I would not hand over the Ghost Talisman Scripture, so he said to me: "Okay, as long as you tell me where the Ghost Talisman Scripture is hidden, I promise to try my best to help Xiaoxi break the curse."
There was no sincerity in what he said. If I believed it, I would be a fool. I turned around and looked at the blue-eyed fox that had been burned to a charred corpse. The fire had long been extinguished, but it was still emitting wisps of green smoke and a strong burnt smell. I smiled at Chen Dahong and said, "I have also let it go. Sooner or later, everyone will die. The sooner they die, the sooner they will be reincarnated. I hope they will have a good life in the next life. If you want the Ghost Talisman Scripture, follow me."
I turned around and jumped down the cave. I was prepared this time. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I immediately fell to the ground and rolled away, relieving the force of the dive. The fox sparrow with dog blood on its body happened to be right next to me. It was still alive and struggling. I reached out and grabbed it, and climbed up.
"Brother Yu, where is Manager Lin? What happened upstairs just now?" Xiaopang ran up to me and asked impatiently.
I was just about to answer when Chen Dahong jumped down from above. This old man must have been in his sixties or seventies, but when he jumped down, he was as light as a swallow and landed steadily on the ground, which made me a little embarrassed.
"Is the Ghost Talisman Scripture hidden here?" Chen Dahong said this with obvious disbelief on his face. He turned his head and took a look.
Uncle Mi had his eyes narrowed at first, but when he heard Chen Dahong's voice, he opened them wide and said, "Yuchun, I know it's you!"
Bian Hongming, who was still hiding in the corner among the three people, shouted in surprise: "Mr. Chen, why are you back again? That's great, we don't have to worry about you anymore."
Director Zhang glared at him and asked, "Who is this old man?"
"Mr. Chen is a master of magic. Not to mention zombies and female ghosts, even if demons come, he can capture them easily!" When Bian Hongming saw Chen Dahong, he was no longer so timid. He stood up and started to brag loudly.
Chen Dahong was quite satisfied with this flattery, nodded and said: "The blue-eyed fox has been eliminated by me, you don't have to be afraid anymore."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyue and Director Zhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stood up one after another.
Fatty was full of doubt and whispered to me: "Where did this Chen Yaojin come from? Isn't he trying to rob us of our three hundred thousand?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. Lin Yuxi hates me so much now. What's the point of asking for money? Can more money eliminate the hatred between us? Thinking of this, my heart was stabbed with pain. With my left hand, I took out a red string from my bag and tied it around Foxbird's calf behind my back. Then I put it in my sleeve and quietly took it back and rubbed it on my stomach, then along my chest to my mouth.
"Where is the Ghost Talisman Scripture?" Chen Dahong ignored Uncle Mi and turned to stare at me and asked.
I sneered and said, "Here's the Ghost Talisman Scripture!" I threw the bloody fox bird over, but I still held the red rope tied to its leg in my hand so that it would be easier to control the direction.
Before throwing it out, I pinched the fox sparrow with my fingers, causing it to scream in pain. As soon as the scream came out, I felt a commotion in my stomach, and the fox sparrow inside couldn't hold back any more, so it rushed out along the esophagus and instantly reached my throat.
When Chen Dahong saw clearly that the thing thrown at him was a fox sparrow, his face changed drastically, and he dodged to the side, cursing, "Little bastard, how dare you trick me!"
I opened my mouth wide, and the foxbird spread its wings and flew straight to its companion. I couldn't help but feel ecstatic. The little beast was lured out!
When Chen Dahong saw the fox bird flying out of my mouth, he said in horror, "You...you did it?"
I laughed out loud, thinking that this was a secret technique from the Ghost Talisman Scripture, how could I tell you. I immediately shook my head at Xiao Pang and said, "Beat him!"
Xiaopang also saw the trick, and as soon as I said this, his 200-pound body immediately shot out like a cannonball. We were not far apart, and Chen Dahong was staring at the sparrow that had just flown out. He was caught off guard by Xiaopang and fell to the ground, where he was beaten up.
After being pinned down by Xiao Pang, Chen Dahong couldn't turn over at all and kept screaming in pain. I rushed to him and saw that he had a mouth, so I swung the bloody fox sparrow and threw it into his mouth, and the other one followed.
