945, ‘Grandpa Heaven’ (2/2)
"I've eaten it.
You don't have to be so polite. "Su Wu stretched out his hand to push him away, looked at the strong man who was always looking at him, and asked aloud, "Is there anything you want to say? It doesn't matter if you take a step but say it. "
"Then, I'll just tell you the truth -" the strong man responded quickly. He looked at Su Wu, as if he was afraid that Su Wu would pay attention to shaking his head in rejection later, and said repeatedly, "Since you are from' You came from Hongfa Pawnshop, so when will you return to Hongfa Pawnshop?
When you return, can we go back together?
The journey from here to Hongfa Pawnshop is not smooth. I can't handle it alone..."
Is the road to Hongfa Pawnshop not peaceful?
Apart from Li Wei in the red-brick western-style building, the only uneventful situation Su Wu encountered along the way was the incident of 'fighting against Jianzhen Shen Yun'.
In addition, whether he was following the black cat or encountering the 'paper man funeral procession', he never felt any danger.
At best, it's just deeply ridiculous.
As he 'believed' in the reality of this world, the sense of absurdity disappeared without a trace.
However, since the strong man said this now, there must be a reason.
Su Wu didn't refute anything, but said: "I also want to go around and get to know the scenery and customs of each place..."
Before he finished speaking, the strong man quickly shook his head and interrupted: "If you want to go around, you have to 'cross the valley'. If you keep going forward like this, you will return to your original position as you go - it's all the way forward. It's the boundary of Mantou Mountain. If you go out, you will return to the starting point. Only after passing the gully can you run to other boundaries.
There are two gullies next to Hongfa Pawnshop.
One is the "Jieguan" that leads from the outside in. After passing the "Jieguan gully", you can see Hongyang Tower.
One is in the Hongyang Building. It is said that if you open a certain door in the Hongyang Building, you can enter the "Compassion Cove" and go to other places - I also want to go through the gully through the Hongyang Building. "
Su Wu pondered the words of the strong man, recalling that he had gone from the reality shrouded in treacherous eyes to this 'world outside the treacherous eyes'.
When he passed the Hongfa Pawn Shop, there were wooden planks on the high slope on one side of the pawn shop, connected to the 'Hongyang Building' on the opposite side of the high slope - that simple wooden plank bridge turned out to be a 'gully'?
"Is the boundary gate you're talking about the plank bridge in front of Hongfa's pawnshop?" Su Wu asked the strong man.
The strong man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!
I heard other people say that Hongfa Pawnshop is "between the inside and the outside". Generally, the most local people can go to is Hongfa Pawnshop. Locals outside the area cannot go there - even if they want to go, it's not possible. You have to go to Jieguanhe first before you can go outside.
It’s nice outside. I heard that several ‘grandpas’, ‘grandma’, ‘grandpa’ and ‘grandma’ stay outside and don’t go back to their gullies all year round.
Even 'Grandpa Tian' - it is said that he also opened a medicine shop 'outside'.
However, since I was born, I have only heard of such a "Grandpa Tian" who often prescribes free medicine to treat illnesses on September 29th, but I have never seen this "Grandpa Tian" once. The older generation, who are almost aging, also spread rumors about "Grandpa Tian", but they have never seen Grandpa Tian once, let alone waited for the prescription prescribed by Grandpa Tian on September 29th... …”
As the strong man spoke, he suddenly looked at Su Wu, who was meditating, and asked with bright eyes: "Have you been outside?"
"I've never been there." Su Wu's eyes were sincere.
"Tsk... outside is where grandpas go. People like us have never been there. It's normal." The strong man sighed with regret.
"Yeah..." Su Wu nodded in response with emotion.
The ‘Grandpa Tian’ in the mouth of a strong man should be the ‘Ghost Master’.
Su Wu never imagined that the "outside" he walked through would be a place that even a "local" like a strong man would find difficult to go to.
The 'invisible patient' I met at 'Lao Lang's Drug Store' should be 'Grandpa Jieguan'.
That 'Jieguan Ye' was too weak. The evil scheming he encountered was just a evil-level sly, but it could make him helpless and helpless... However, there are many places in the current world that are difficult to fathom with common sense. , just relying on the 'Jieguan Ye' cannot deal with the matter of the evil spirits, nor can we completely underestimate the other 'grandfathers'.
At least that 'Grandfather Tian Ghost Doctor', no matter how Su Wu thought about it, he felt that his methods were extremely mysterious and unpredictable.
Locals like Zhuang Han claimed that they had never seen "Grandfather Tian Gui Langzhong", but Su Wu clearly found the prescription prescribed by Gui Langzhong to "Wang Qingping's family" in the mailbox of Hongyanglou. His brother Wang Qingguang Wang Qingping was also ordered to present a 'paper-pierced person' on the ninth day of the lunar month, and ask the ghost doctor to personally come and deal with the evil spirits in the foreign-style building...
What's going on?
Could it be that Wang Qingguang was not a local but also a ‘grandfather’?
So he can easily ask Grandpa Tian Gui Lang to help?
Or is it just that the strong man and the people around him are too ignorant and have never been attacked by evil spirits, so naturally they have never encountered a ghost doctor to help them diagnose their illness?
"I was in the Hongfa Pawnshop area in Qiantou, and I heard about the deeds of 'Grandpa Tian' in treating people.
It doesn't seem to be able to cure all diseases..." Su Wu considered his words, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the strong man's words.
The strong man opened his mouth and said: "Yes!
It is said that Grandpa Tian actually specializes in treating Qi. Once he is cured, he will be fine!
We have been harmed by serious tricks many times!
I came out from home because there was a serious attack on my house, and people were dying one by one. I had no choice but to go to the "Compassion Valley" to invite a Bodhisattva, hoping that the Bodhisattva could calm the serious attack and keep my hometown safe... "
Speaking of this, the strong man couldn't help showing his true feelings, and some scarlet tears flowed from his purple face.
The world in front of Su Wu shook, and the strong man appeared and disappeared in his eyes.
He immediately calmed down, recalled the article 'The Boundary between Reality and Dreams' on the piece of paper, and said, "Believe it!"
The world is now stable.
Su Wu didn't notice anything unusual in the face of the strong man's purple-red face dripping with blood. He sighed, with a look of pity in his eyes: "Since I am here to save the elders in my hometown, I have nothing to do with you. It’s not a big deal if you go to Hongfa Pawnshop.
However, I still have something to ask you—"
"What's up?"
The strong man hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and the longevity pattern on the sleeves of his black robe was dyed red by the tears.
"Do you know the exact time today?
I've been running around so hard that I don't even know what year it is today. "Su Wu asked with a smile.
"Today is September 29th!" The strong man opened his mouth and replied.
"September 29?" Su Wu was slightly startled.
The feeling of 'someone in the dark is leading me to an unknown place' once again filled Su Wu's mind.
"That's right." The strong man said casually as he collected the rice on the tombstone and stuffed it into his own baggage, "But the date of each ravine is different.
Today is September 29th in this gully, and maybe today is May 30th in this gully—no big deal!
Shall we set off? "
"Set off."
Su Wu nodded and led the strong man back.
The strong man followed him and chattered non-stop: "Brother, you are also a very powerful person. From Hongyang Tower to this 'Steamed Bun Mountain', you have to pass through the 'Ebbing and Recessing River' and the 'Looking for People Wall'. It’s amazing to be able to come through, it’s amazing!”
"Sandou Mountain..." Su Wu had previously focused on other things, so he didn't feel any difference when hearing the name 'Sandou Mountain'.
Listening to it again now, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
He stopped and looked around——
The strong man also stopped and asked him in confusion: "What's wrong, brother?"
All around, the trees are deep.
Tombs stand in rows and rows on the gently upward slope.
Vines and weeds twined around the tombs made of stone or rammed earth, and the tombs stretched to the end of Su Wu's sight. This scene made Su Wu feel familiar!
"It's actually Mantou Mountain?"
Su Wu spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, this is Mantou Mountain. My home is also in Mantou Mountain, but it's too far away from here. It takes a long time to walk back!" the strong man responded.
"Yeah." Su Wu responded.
He once walked through this 'Steamed Bread Mountain'.
When I first joined the kitchen class and was ‘delivering rice’ to Gui, I strayed into this place by mistake!
"If we want to get from here to there, we have to pass through a ravine. Do you know how many gullies there are here?" Su Wu came back to his senses and asked the strong man again.
The strong man replied nonchalantly: "Then who can know?
There are more gullies than walnuts! "
Su Wu nodded, his mind was turning, and he reached out to somewhere - there were ripples in the void there, and he grabbed a bell from the void.
He grabbed the bell and shook it gently.
In this world, the 'Dragon from Maben' with eight legs, a skull, and a pair of horns appeared from the sound of the bell.
The strong man looked at the eight-legged ox-horned skeleton horse that appeared next to Su Wu, his eyes full of admiration: "Brother, you actually have such a rare thing? Then we can go faster!"
"Indeed." Su Wu got on the horse and looked at him with admiration. However, the strong man who was not very surprised pulled up the horse. He patted the head of 'Long Cong Ma Ben'. In his eyes, Long Cong Ma Ben's head He alternated between the 'horned skull' and the 'normal white horse head' for a while, then stabilized in the 'horned skull' state as his mind fell silent.
"Sit down!"
He told the strong man, hung the box he had been carrying on his back on the side of Long Cong's horse's saddle, and then drove Long Cong's horse to run into the wild woods ahead.
The eight-legged ghost horse quickly shuttled through the dense forest and turned into a black light.
In front of the dense forest, a large pool of water spread out, and mist rose from the water.
