Chapter 136

In the dark room, the flame on the candle wick kept beating, and the drawn-out flickering shadows reflected on the wall.

Boss Lu stood in front of the high altar, with his right hand covering the wound on his left arm with the knife. The incision was small, but deep. He treated it briefly, but in fact it didn't bleed much.

He stared at the ugly clay statue of the mountain god on the table with an indescribably weird expression.

This is the belief of the whole county, a monster that is neither human nor monkey.

Boss Lu had two villains arguing endlessly in his mind.

One said: "Why did I, like other people in the county, regard such a thing as a real god?"

Another said: "Because it really fulfills the wishes of believers!"

"But it also swallowed the souls of many people, just like the devil!"

"It eats people who don't believe in it, and it hasn't hurt any believers."

"Gods don't harm people, they are demons, they are evil!"

"All living beings are suffering. What's the difference between dying early and dying late? Anyway, they are all going to die."

"Jing Daochang said that sooner or later it will become an evil god that will bring disaster to the common people. If what he said is true, I will be a sinner for all mankind!"

"Jing Daochang lied to you! You just didn't report what you knew, and you didn't help the evildoers. It wasn't born because of you, so what does it have to do with you? What's more, it can't do without Dian County, so how could it harm the outside world?What about people?"

"But I don't want to die! Daoist Jing knows my secret, he will definitely inform the program crew, and then the whole network will know that Song Yan was killed by me! I will be arrested by the police, I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prisonspend..."

"No matter how powerful Jing Daochang is, he is still a human being with flesh and blood. It is just its food. As long as Jing Daochang disappears, no one will know this secret!"

"...You are right, he is just an ordinary person like me."

...

"Start to make a wish." There was only one villain left in his mind, and the bewitching voice said slowly, "As long as you want it, it will definitely help you realize it."

"……good."

After an unknown amount of time, he heard a knock on the door.

Boss Lu looked at the small porcelain cup in front of the clay statue in a daze. The snow-white cup was filled with bright red blood, which was his blood.

He opened his mouth, his voice stagnant: "...please come in."

As soon as the words were finished, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the room, and the flame on the candle wick shook violently a few times, and then went out quickly.

The only light disappeared, and the room was plunged into darkness for a moment, and couldn't see fingers.

Boss Lu felt a bone-chilling chill spread all over his body, making his hairs stand on end. Countless terrifying thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, and he was terrified.

He knew that it was the guy who came.

After a while, a cold breath approached him, but he couldn't see what the other person looked like, was it a human, a ghost, or a monster that was neither human nor ghost?

In a dark and silent environment, people's senses will be infinitely magnified. Although the eyes cannot see, the hearing seems to be magnified countless times.

There were no footsteps, only the rustling of the wind.

He noticed a cold "gaze" looking at him, as if evaluating something, a chill suddenly shot up on Boss Lu's back.He escaped by chance in one pot, but this time he was taken to another pot, which was inevitable.

Earlier, he heard some old people in the county say that the mountain god doesn't like greedy children, and if there are too many wishes, it will not work, and the mountain god will be unhappy.

When he made his first wish, he only heard the knock on the door, but didn't feel its existence.After the second wish, he felt that his body seemed to be much more tired than before. He thought it was the sequelae of blood loss, but after taking a lot of tonics, it didn't work.

The third time he was forced to make a wish. When Song Yan was burned by the will-o'-the-wisp, he vaguely saw the true face of the "mountain god" in the darkness.Did not dare to take a second look.

After waking up the next day, he clearly felt that something important was passing away from his body.

This is his fourth wish. Could it be that this time... he can see the true face of the "mountain god"?

Or, when he sees the other party's true face, is the time of his death?

At this moment, Boss Lu regretted it from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe he shouldn't have coveted Elan's inn in the first place, and there wouldn't be so many things happening later.

Greed is like a pair of invisible hands, dragging people into hell step by step.

This ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. He clearly realized that he was making a deal with the devil. Behind every deal, he had to pay a certain price.Slowly seize his vitality.

Sure enough, after expressing his desire not to stay in prison for the rest of his life, a sneer clearly rang out in his mind.

Boss Lu couldn't help but flinch, thinking anxiously: Is his request too much?"Mountain God" can't do it?Or does it not want to help him realize his wish?

Not long after, the gloomy and hoarse voice sounded again: "As you wish."

After hearing this voice, Boss Lu let go of the boulder hanging in his heart. He closed his eyes and even thought about it in a relaxed way: After this incident, he will divorce Yilan and leave with the money he has saved over the years.Dian County, far away, never come back, take good care of your body, maybe you can live to seventy or eighty...

Thinking of this, some "future" images even flashed in front of his eyes: the future self lived in a sea view villa, lying leisurely on a rocking chair, flickering...

Gradually, he felt his body getting lighter and lighter, almost as light as a feather, floating in the air, getting higher and higher. He looked down curiously at the ground, but saw a person who looked exactly like himself standing there, looking up.Frowning, he showed a weird smile.

He realized something, and immediately struggled to sink, wanting to return to his body!

However, just when he was about to touch the body, it seemed that an invisible force smashed down on him fiercely, and the severe pain hit the soul directly, and there was no pain anywhere in his body, as if he had been torn apart, until numb.

He was so painful that he wanted to scream, but when he opened his mouth wide to scream, there was no sound, as if the whole world blocked him.

...It turns out that the feeling of being eaten by the soul is such a pain.

——This was Boss Lu's last thought before his consciousness shattered.

The terrified screams of the woman downstairs resounded throughout the inn, and everyone in the room changed their expressions.

Sang Qing turned even paler, because she could tell that it was Shu Ran's voice.

The passengers in the inn who had been tired for a day and went to bed early were all woken up by the screams. When they heard the screams, which seemed to be endless, they were dissatisfied immediately, and opened the windows and yelled back outside.

"Big night, who is it?!"

"What are you shouting for? You've been exhausted all day, why don't you let me rest?"

"Damn it! Are you sick? What are you yelling? I'm scared and wilted!"

"Where is the room service? Where did the female ghost come from, get rid of her quickly!"

There are also warm-hearted and direct calls: "Is it a girl? What happened?"

"There must be an accident from the sound, the waiter should hurry to find your boss, don't waste time!"

"What? What happened? Should I call the police?"

It is the nature of human beings to watch the bustle. Accompanied by the screams of women with extremely high lung capacity, the doors of many guest rooms were opened, and the footsteps of thunder and bang waves sounded in the stilted building, which was messy and disturbing.

"Quick, quick! Get out of the way!"

"Don't forget to take your phone!"

"Hey! You stepped on my foot!"

"Good guy! Everyone, are they rushing to reincarnate?"

...

The inn was suddenly surrounded by noisy sounds, and the originally quiet night suddenly became lively.

Until someone screamed again: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The moment the scream sounded, Jing Cheng predicted the location, turned around decisively, walked quickly to the window sill, opened the window, jumped like a bird with wings spread, and jumped off the window sill with light movements!

Others in the room: "!!!"

Before everyone could react, they saw a tall and slender figure flashing, followed by Qin Yan with a frown, holding the window sill with one hand, and jumping down quickly with the same movement.

Everyone in the program team was shocked, this is the third floor!

When Fu Le saw that the two little friends had jumped off, he lay on the window sill and glanced out of the window. He estimated the height and struggled for three seconds. He hesitated and wanted to climb up the window sill, but was stopped by Director Zhao.

"Young Master Fu! This is the third floor!" Zhao Yi stared at him with wide eyes, and said incredulously, "Do you think this is the high jump in physical education class?"

Fu Le: "...but they both landed safely."

Zhao Yi was still immersed in nervous emotions, and when he heard this, he sent a soul blow to him: "They can, can you?"

Fu Le: "..." He really can't do it at this height.

Zhao Yi looked at the two bold young men downstairs, and saw that they were really standing on the ground unscathed. The height of more than ten meters was like a translation for those two. He couldn't help but click his tongue and think: NowHow can children grow up with martial arts?

Downstairs didn't know what Jing Cheng said to Qin Yan, but they ran away holding hands.

There was a strange feeling in his heart, and for some reason, what Fu Le said just now, "We Chengzi has a master", flashed in his mind, and he shook his head and put this thought aside.

Men and men...how can there be so many gays in this world?

Not to mention the Qin family, the men of the Jing family are notoriously romantic. From the old man of the Jing family to the current national father Jing Zhensong, it is almost a modern version of the Sangong Sixth Courtyard.In the past, it was full of gossip, even the always rigorous young master Jing had a few gossip actresses around him... Thinking about it this way, Daoist Xiao Jing seems to have a genetic mutation, and he is still mature when he doesn't lie to women.After becoming a celestial master and living in such a high-profile family, the past 18 years have been terribly low-key. Could it be that he grew up in a Taoist temple for these 18 years?

...It's not impossible, this can explain why he is so calm about girls.

Zhao Yi's thoughts were running wild for a while, and he didn't notice the others. At this moment, Xiao Qu suddenly interrupted him: "Director Zhao, let's go down and have a look too?"

Zhao Yi came back to his senses and found that the door of the room was wide open, and almost everyone in the program team had gone out, not even the little assistant was by his side, so he was stunned: "Where is anyone?"

As soon as Jing Cheng's front foot landed on the ground, there was a blast of wind above his head, he turned his body sideways, and when he looked up, he saw Qin Yan jumping off the building following him nimbly.

The place where they landed happened to be on the grass in the garden. Qin Yan didn't have the skill of Jing Cheng, so he rolled several times when he landed, like a embarrassed puppy, and it took him a while to stabilize his figure.

Jing Cheng: "..." What a fool!

Qin Yan's physical fitness is high, and because he practiced according to the "cheat book" that Jing Cheng gave him recently, he didn't have any major problems. After a few seconds, he slowly straightened up.

Jing Cheng walked up to him helplessly, stretched out his hand to pick off the weeds on top of his head, and slightly bent down to pull him up: "Why didn't you come down the stairs? That scene just now was too dangerous."

Qin Yan was patting the dirt on his body, when he heard this, he paused his fingers and said, "I saw you came down, I didn't think too much about it."

Jing Cheng stared at the thin bloodstains on his cheekbones that had been scratched by branches, and couldn't tell what it was like.

A scene flashed inexplicably in his mind.

It was the few years when I just came down from the mountain, because I was young and frivolous, I deliberately played tricks on a local rich man in the fish and meat village. After the local rich man learned the truth about his misfortune, he hired a Taoist priest from the Zhang family with a lot of money to get it back.Send the evil slaves at home to arrest him.

He accidentally plotted against him and escaped with Lian Xuefeng despite being injured. While avoiding the pursuit of the evil slaves, he ran into a dead end. Lian Xuefeng hid him who was nearly unconscious at the time, picked up a stick from the ground and rushedGo out and lure away the group of evil slaves.

For a long period of time, Jing Cheng hadn't seen this young master who was pampered by the Lian family. When he saw him again, the bruise on Xuefeng's face hadn't completely faded, and his legs weren't very agile. Jing Cheng knew thatAt that time, he suffered a lot of crimes in order to lure away those evil slaves.

He remembers asking himself, "That's a dangerous situation, why would you do it?"

Lian Xuefeng said: "I think you are in danger, I didn't think too much about it."

Jing Cheng blurted out: "Good brother!"

Lian Xuefeng's expression was a little strange, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth: "You are so unlucky, who made you so unlucky to be caught, I was born after the nobles at the root of the imperial city, they dare not treat meHow is it?"

...

Walking out of the memory, Jing Cheng stared at the stern young man in front of him, and felt that this man in front of him seemed to overlap with the cynical young master of the Lian family back then.

Although the two people's personalities are very different, they are still the same soul.

However, he was in a completely different state of mind then than he is now.

At that time, Jing Cheng was driven down the mountain, and he was determined to do a great job to blind Jing's old and stubborn eyes, in order to save the common people in the troubled times. The so-called family, friendship and love were not in his life plan..

But now, God has given him a second life, he just wants to live out himself and get back those things he lost.

Jing Cheng silently watched Qin Yan tidy up his clothes, and suddenly asked nonchalantly, "If Fu Le jumped from the third floor, would you still follow me?"

Qin Yan was silent, and glanced at him, as if hesitating.

Although Jing Cheng knew about the friendship between the two for more than ten years, Fu Le said more than once that he liked girls, but he couldn't help the little suspicion in his heart.

Maybe it's because he always teases Qin Yan with his "little apprentice". Qin Yan has always been very reserved in front of him, and only behaves himself in front of good buddies, so even if he knows that the other party really likes him, Jing Cheng will occasionallyChildish to care about these small details.

He knew that this question was very unreasonable and did not conform to his usual personality, but after pretending to be an "adult" for a long time, it did not conform to his own attributes of doing whatever he wanted, so he had to be impulsive to some extent.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Jing Cheng's face remained calm, but he couldn't express his disappointment in his heart, and said insincerely: "Ah, I mean the purpose of building stairs is to make it easier to go downstairs., must pay attention to safety..."

...he was talking nonsense.

Jing Cheng coughed lightly in embarrassment, turned around and said, "Let's go, little apprentice, there is a circle of people over there."

Qin Yan grabbed his hand quickly and said seriously: "If he dares to jump from the third floor, I will probably call 120 immediately."

Jing Cheng: "..." So his assumption just now is not true at all.

Qin Yan's eyes flashed a smile, it was rare for him to see Jing Cheng showing such a side, so he would naturally seize the opportunity and not let go.

"In exchange, I also want to ask you a question."

"What?"

Qin Yan raised his eyebrows, stared into his eyes, and said slowly: "I want to know, why did you ask this question just now?"

The author has something to say:

The evil god pointed and pointed: The moon is dark and the wind is high, you two are actually in front of me... How disrespectful I am!
