Luo E Zi
Chapter 9:Luo E Zi
That night, I couldn’t sleep over and over, and I just felt like I had never been so excited.
How can I not think of it, the old man is really a gentleman in the line, but also a descending master, listen to what old Chen said... It seems that he is not an ordinary avalancher!
He should be famous, right?
Thinking of what Chen said to his grandfather, I can't help but have some five flavors in my heart.
From a young age, the old man did not let me suffer, except for teaching me Chinese medicine when some seriousness, the rest of the time, can be said to have petted me into heaven.
I was only an old man who was teaching me a skill so that I could inherit this pharmacy later, or be a barefoot Chinese medicine like him.
Now I think, Grandpa is just leaving me a way out.
Even if I don't eat this bowl of Mr. Shen's rice, I can live on this pharmacy, and even live more than ordinary people.
But that kind of boring life, is that really what I want?
I thought of this, sleep and reduced three points, lying in bed, can no longer close the eyes.
The next morning.
I washed my grass, and I couldn’t wait to go downstairs to find my grandfather.
Unexpectedly, he did not open a shop today, did not go out to play mahjong, but sat at the tea table, as if waiting for me.
When I saw him, he waved at me and told me to go.
Looking up, there was a big wooden box on the table that I had never seen before, and the old man's right hand was on the lid, half a cigarette in his left hand, and he looked at me with a complicated expression: "What do you think of being a doctor?"
“It can.”I laughed, "Anyway, I'll listen to you, what do you let me do?"
The old man nodded, smoked two cigarettes, and asked me, “Are you afraid of death?”
“Afraid.”I did not hesitate, very directly asked: "Everyone is afraid of death, sir, are you afraid?"
With this answer, the old man couldn't help but laugh, even nod: "I must also be afraid, you are so afraid of death, when I leave later, my enemies really come to the door, you must not scare pee pants?" 」
“That’s not enough.”I shrugged my shoulders: "It's not too big to fight with them."
“Can you spell it?”My grandfather asked me.
I did not speak, looked at him silently, and the answer in my eyes was self-evident.
"Well, I'm not talking to you.The old man coughed twice, and in the murky old eyes, it seemed to be a little more helpless: "Old Chen is right, I should give you a chance, but I don't want to give you this opportunity..."
“Lord, you have always spoiled me, everything has come to me, this thing... can you listen to me?”I asked carefully.
The old man smoked a cigarette and looked at me and said, "You said."
"I want to learn from you."I said frankly, my eyes are full of seriousness, there is no half-joking meaning: "The Shen family's ability is passed down from generation to generation, if you don't want me to learn, let the ability to break in my generation, then the ancestors must not agree ah, or you give me a chance to try?" 」
"The work of the Shen family is not to preach to the useless people."The old man sighed: "In my generation, we have many children in Shen's family, but the only one who is really qualified to learn is only me, to your father's generation, he is fighting, the only child is him, he has also passed that trial level..."
“The test?”I stand.
"Let's make a bet."The old man smiled: "If you can follow the rules of the Shen family, then I will let you into the line, eat this bowl of dead people's rice, if you can't pass the customs..."
"If I can't get through it, I'll be in this pharmacy all my life."I took the stubble and said.
“Okay, that’s it.”The old man nodded and jerked open the lid.
When I first saw this big wooden box, I was still wondering, this box looks at the eyes, where did the old man come from?
When he opened the lid, I saw what was inside, and I was even more confused.
“You went to rob the gold shop?”I asked carefully.
The old man stared at me and scolded me unkindly: “This is something passed down from the ancestors of the Shen family for generations!”They rob you of a fairy board!”
The wooden box is filled with gold coffins, which are not the size of 18 pairs of slaps, which can be seen at a glance.
Seeing these golden coffins, I just felt like I was dreaming, which is too exaggerated, right?
If I sold all these 18 gold coffins, I would never have to eat and drink in my life!
“What word is it in the above?”I asked curiously.
These eighteen golden coffins, each pair of coffins cover, are engraved with several patterns similar to Oracle, looking very conspicuous.
Hearing my question, the old man did not explain much, and casually said: "That is a letter written for ghosts and gods."
(Note: The fourth sound, the first Sui sound.))
“What do these words mean?”I asked again.
The old man pointed to the coffin on the far left and introduced me in turn.
“Tip-tug, evil cut, iron tree, mirror, steamer, copper column, knife mountain, cold, oil pan, animal pit, stone pressure, stump, sea of blood, death, peak, ghost grind, saw body, throttle.”
"These words are familiar to me, a bit like the eighteen layers of folklore..."
Before I had finished speaking, the old man nodded and said, "These eighteen coffins correspond to the eighteen levels of hell."
“You took these coffins out... and you were going to pass them on to me?”I was excited to look at him.
“Shit, you guys want to be beautiful!”The old man said, "When the old man dies, these things will be yours to keep, and you should not be confused now!"
He looked at me and looked at me.
"If you want to go in, you have to use what's in these coffins."
As soon as the voice fell, the old man stood up and went to the counter to bring a jar of censer.
When he returned to his chair, he opened the golden coffins one by one.
I saw that the things contained in these coffins were all objects like dead wood, and they looked carefully, and some of them were like dried dried meat.
These "dry meat" have any shape, there are big and small.
Some obviously look like a personal shape, some are incomplete, there is only one, looking at the same as the wood block.
Closer to smelling, these things also have a smell of fish.
“Lord, what is this?”I asked curiously.
"Eighteen evil."
The old man said, take a piece of "dry meat" from the coffin, carefully broke down a small piece with his hand, put it into a jar, and then put the large chunk of "meat" back into the coffin cover.
In this set of movements, the old man repeated a total of seventeen times, except for a pair of coffins on the side, the rest were opened by him.
“We don’t need anything in this coffin?”I asked, pointing to the only unopened gold coffin.
The old man said, "There is nothing in the coffin, it is empty."
“What’s in there?”I asked curiously.
“The old man is finished.”The old man said impatiently.
Hearing this, I was a little stuttered, did not wait for me to ask more questions, the old man waved his hand, urged me to go back to the room and wait, he wanted to put these coffins away first.
Before going upstairs, I asked a few words, what is the use of this meat?What is the test I entered?You don’t want me to eat all of this, do you?
“No.”The old man said, "I will give you an operation, and bury these evil ones in your skin, and if you scream in the middle, or if you pass in a coma, even if you can't pass."
I was surprised, not speaking.
"You can't pass the Shun family's bowl of rice, you have no right to eat, this is the rule."The old man looked at me deeply, and his tone was very complicated, and he seemed to want me to retreat: "You really want to go?"
Isn't this teacher learning art... isn't it finished with a few heads... how can I still have surgery?
Burying these things in the flesh will not infect the wound, right?
The old man seemed to know what I was thinking, and he explained: "Every family has its own rules, and our Shen family's rules are like this, if you regret it, it is still time."
I scratched my head, and though I was a little scared, I knew that my grandfather would certainly not harm me.
“Try it.”I laughed, "I don't want to try once."
