Chapter 317 Back Mountain
Life is always hard. Living alone is the fatigue of the right hand; living alone is the fatigue of the limbs. - Zhang Deshuai's Quotations

After such a long silence, the old man stretched out his hand for me.
Looking at the old man's outstretched hand, I was a little stunned. I don't know why he did this.
"Ber it?" There was no doubt in the old man's voice.
"What to bring?" I was even more surprised.
"Tear!"
"What token?"
"Since you said you are Qingfeng's nephew, Qingfeng's guy, I know, he must have left you a token." The old man explained it to me.
I'm a little strange about the old man's explanation. Now I look back at what my uncle left me, a broken Taoist suit, a mahogany sword, and several rotten magazines. If these are tokens, it may be a Taoist suit and a mahogany sword. But who will bring these things? These days, not to mention buying a kitchen knife, you need to buy cold medicine and you need your real name. Take a mahogany sword with you. It's no wonder that you won't be re-education through labor.
I looked at the old man's hand and replied hesitantly, "I didn't bring it." However, I quickly added: "Speaking of tokens, my face is a token, and they all say that I look a little like my uncle."
When I went to see the old man again, I became frustrated. Because the old man has a cataract, he can't see my face clearly.
"Then there's nothing we can do." The old man replied faintly.
"Then tell me what the token is, whether it is a Taoist uniform or a mahogany sword. I'll bring it to you when I get back." I don't want to propose
The old man shook his head. He shook his head and made me not understand. I don't understand whether he shook his head and said he didn't need it or that those were not tokens.
"Actually, I don't know what the token is. But as long as you take it out, I will know." The old man played a riddle for me.
This time really embarrassed me. I took out all the things I carried with me and almost took off my underwear. Every time he took out one, the old man shook his head and rejected it.
When my hand touched the jade pendant, my heart moved. I suddenly remembered that Xiaoji in the jade pendant came to help me because my uncle pleaded with the heavenly master.
I summoned Xiaoji, but the old man's face changed. As soon as he flashed, he came to Xiaoji's side and touched Xiaoji's head.
What was more strange was Xiaoji's reaction. Instead of being furious to attack the old man, it showed a very comfortable expression under the touch of the old man.
The old man's move finally made me feel at ease. It seems that it's finally right this time.
When the old man finished touching Xiaoji, tears flowed from his face. The old man did not say anything, but turned around and walked out.
The old man's behavior surprised me, but I had to go out with the old man.
The old man is very familiar with the surrounding environment. Although his eyes can't see anything, he walks so fast in the woods that we can hardly keep up with him. It was not until a lonely grave that the old man stopped.
There is nothing on this grave, not even the simplest wooden card. There is only a lonely mound, corresponding to the swing of the surrounding branches. The sunlight flows down from the cracks of the leaves, forming a combination of light and darkness on the soil. Due to the existence of sunshine, there is no desolation of "the lingering bones", but there is more sadness of "the green mountains are lucky to bury loyal bones".
I quietly looked at the small soil. To be from the bottom of my heart, I didn't have much affection with the guy buried below. It's not because I'm cold-blooded, but my uncle is just a vague shadow in my heart. A character with only his name doesn't have much emotion. But at this moment, I admire him from the bottom of my heart, not because he is my uncle, but because he adheres to his faith.
In the face of faith, there is no difference between high and low, let alone ridicule. Christians will not feel noble because of the shaving of Buddhists, and Buddhists will not feel tacky because Christian churches are in the downtown, but have different beliefs. But those who laugh at believers are mostly people who have no faith. Because I don't understand, I use it to ridicule more. Just as people who often call traditional culture are superstitious, and many people who have not studied traditional culture.
I just bowed a few bows silently to the lonely grave. In this case, this is the only way to express my admiration for the owner of this tomb.
The old man spoke at this time, but his words seemed to say to himself: "Has anyone come here some time ago?"
When I thought about it carefully, I guessed who the person was.
"He told me that one day you would come." The old man continued.
"Is that all he said?" I continued to ask, I just wondered why the man didn't tell me this in person.
"Actually, he was wrong." The old man smiled faintly.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not that you will come, but you will definitely come. However, this is not what I guessed, but what someone told me. The old man did not smile this time, but stared at the grave with his eyes that could not see anything at all.
"You mean, my uncle told you that I would definitely come?" I blurted out.
The old man smiled and did not answer. This smile is an acknowledging.
Now I think about it carefully, as if everything that happened before doesn't seem to be related. Now, all these things that look loose on the surface are strung up by a thread.
And this thread is in the hands of this guy under the grave.
I didn't want to think about it anymore, so I asked the old man, "You said that someone else has been here before. He won't just say that sentence, he must have said something else."
"At that time, the man was also standing here. He asked me to tell you to leave it alone." There was no expression on the old man's face.
I can imagine it. At that time, Uncle Yuanji also stood by the graveyard, looked at a good friend of his former friends, and lay quietly below. And he also expected that I would come here one day according to my personality. He knew that the scope involved and the power behind it was so strong that I could not shake it at all. Not only that, but it will also be hit as powder. Uncle Yuanji didn't want me to take risks and didn't want his good friend's nephew to come to this muddy water, so he asked the old man to warn me not to take care of this matter.
"Did he say anything else?" My face gently **.
"All that's left is between him and him. It's ridiculous. They are already outsiders, and they still value life and death so much. The old man smiled and said, "by the way, I left a message for you when he was about to leave."
"What are you talking about?"
"When you really want to take care of it, remember to tell him. You can't succeed in such a thing as a young man. The old man said slowly.
Uncle's last words made my nose feel a little sour. I don't know that Uncle Yuanshi thought about it for me, and he didn't know what the consequences he made would bring to him, but he still said so.
The old man suddenly said, "Lin Zhongfeng, go back!"
He took the lead in walking back without waiting for our approval.
I chased the old man on the road and couldn't wait to ask, "Taoist priest, tell me quickly?" But I'm not very clear about what the Taoist priest told me.
However, the old man was very cooperative and just strode in front of him. He waited until he came to the stone table before looking back at us.
The old man's move made me a little confused. I don't understand why he had to come back here to say something.
How strange people are, and I secretly comfort myself in my heart.
After we all sat down, the old man said to us, "Do you know why I didn't answer your questions before?"
Are you worried that we are coaxing you? Are you afraid that we are not the nephews of Taoist priest Qingfeng?" Xiao Xue said bluntly.
"No, no. Because there is a saying in "Mongo" that "the first accusation will be made, and if it is blaspous again, it will not be reported'." The old man replied with a smile.
The old man's answer almost made me so angry that I spit out blood. What's the reason for this? If Zhou Wenwang Jichang knows it, he has to climb up from below and fight with the old man. Is there any way to solve the problem?
"But it's different now." The old man continued.
"What's the difference?" Xiao Xue asked.
"At the beginning, I came to solve your puzzles, that is, boys. Now it's different. You know my old friends, and we are friends. Just ask if you have any questions now?" The old man is quite cheerful.
Since the old man said so, I won't be polite. I asked all the questions I had held back before, including my uncle, the silent uncle, and the old man.
The old man answered me one by one.
What the old man said about my uncle is much more detailed than what Uncle Yuanji told me before, but I was not very interested in it before. I was most interested in the situation after my uncle found out the sensational "zombie case" in those years.
What the old man told me was similar to what Uncle Yuanshi told me. It was also my uncle who found that the zombie case was not as simple as it seemed, and he began to investigate it thoroughly. It doesn't matter if this thorough investigation was found by him. In this dark curtain, it covers the three worlds of heaven and earth. Not only the following people, but also the high-level officials are involved.
Then, my uncle was double-regulated. But the old man was cleverly protected by my uncle, because he seemed to know that this was not going well at the beginning, so he did not allow the old man to participate in the thorough investigation.
And the result of that thorough investigation was that all those who participated in the thorough investigation were killed. My uncle died in prison with some fictitious charges after being punished. More people involved in the thorough investigation were arrested on various charges, and some were directly declared to be supervised as mentally abnormal.
The old man's words surprised me. At that time, Uncle Yuanshi told me that it was far less serious than what the old man said.
Why? Aren't they good people?" Xiao Xue exclaimed.
"Good man?" The old man was scared, "There are no good and bad people in this. As long as everything comes to interests, morality and law will give in.
