Chapter 102 Death and Birth

After the county magistrate sighed, the cell was quiet. All Erlang could hear was his heartbeat and the sound of swallowing saliva. At this time, he felt hot pain at the rupture of the tiger's mouth in his right hand.

After a long time, the county magistrate said quietly, "I have passed on the things recorded by the fire dove to the bachelors and young people in Xuecheng. The last words that each bachelor was told before leaving the Xuecheng are that don't care about the feelings of the same family. The ultimate purpose of leaving the bachelor's city is to understand their own beliefs and rely on this belief to survive. My road to survival has come to an end, and I have seen my own end. Young man, in fact, I can also see you, but I won't talk about it. You read the manuscript of the iron bachelor, even if you got his inheritance, since he has died, you are the new iron bachelor for Xuecheng. If there is a chance to contact Xuecheng in the future, it is best to get the recognition of Xuecheng, but the people of my generation who are studying actually don't care much about this matter.

The county magistrate paused for a moment and turned his face to Wu Song and said, "Wu Song, I feel that the power of the tiger in your body is already very weak. The meteorite ring is a cruel fate for most people, and it is not a good thing to wear it in their hands. I have done all the calculations, but in the end, I am still tired of scheming. Now, I have nothing to say. I only hope that the people who wear the ring of Xuecheng can follow the ancient teachings of Xuecheng and constantly seek for survival and faith.

Wu Song feels very complicated. The county magistrate in the cell is not as hateful as in the past. Instead, he is as kind and sincere as the elders, giving Wu Song a kind of warmth. The hatred hidden by time seems to be less important. Wu Song even had the idea of saving him without killing the county magistrate, but it was quickly dispelled.

People are about to die, and their words are also good. If it comes back to life, it's hard to say.

"I call you a sleep bachelor according to Xuecheng." Wu Song covered his right eye with his left hand and continued, "I'm not from Xuecheng. I use this method to express my respect for some of your actions. If you have any other wishes, I will try my best to satisfy you. Erlang used this method to remind the county magistrate that there was not much time left.

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment and said to Wu Song, "I want a glass of water."

Wu Song was very surprised. In his impression, anyone with status, even if he had dietary needs before he died, wanted a bowl of wine or a bowl of meat or something, which could make him look heroic. Whenever a street storyteller in his youth talked about a big man making wine and meat requirements before his death, he would give a thumb and praise: "This is the real hero. Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face changed color. Eighteen years later, he is another hero."

Just when Wu Song believed that there would be a wine and meat requirement in front of him, just like the story that happened in the drama and the story, the sleep bachelor only asked for a glass of water.

Wu Song was stunned.

"Mian Bachelor, I'll get it for you." From Zhang Shu's tone, there was no fluctuation in his mood, as if he was just saying the most ordinary words.

Zhang Shu's speed was so fast that when Wu Song could hardly think about talking to the county magistrate alone, Zhang Shu had already come back. His hand was not a water cup, but a gourd cut in half. The gourd was the size of a bowl, and it was almost full of water.

It's winter now. Looking at the gourd, Erlang knew that the water in the gourd was cold and might have just been hit from the well. Yanggu's current well water is cold and piercing. Wu Song just looks at a glance and almost trembles.

"The feeling of Xie Tie's gift of water." As a result, the sleeping bachelor wenturd, raised his head and drank it. Because he drank too fast, water kept flowing from the corners of his mouth and flowing down his neck into his clothes. These details that must have been ignored at ordinary times are seen by Erlang today for inexplicable reasons, and these details seem to have become silent.

Until there was no more drop of water in the gourd, the sleeping bachelor gently threw the gourd to the ground, sighed, and his expression turned into an indifferent smile.

"My boss, he is dead." Zhang Shu's voice sounded in his ear.

Dead? Wu Song doesn't believe it. How can a person die? Unless it is poisoned in such a short time, but the reaction of the sleep bachelor is so balanced that there is no sign of poisoning at all.

Erlang took a step forward, stretched out his hand to the nose of the sleeping bachelor's nose, and found that there was no breath, and then put his finger on the sleep bachelor's neck, and he really couldn't feel the beating.

"Wu Song, you should be able to hear me. You don't have to bother to check it. I'm dead." A voice suddenly sounded in Erlang's mind, which belonged to the county magistrate. No, it should be said that it was a bachelor's sleep. However, the voice sounded very young, as if he were a teenager in his teens, happily telling the story of playing with the little beast in the mountains and forests.

Yes, the ring is wearing on the middle finger of the right hand. Now it is the blessing of the power of communication. This sound is sent directly to my mind. It is the voice of the deceased. The sleeping bachelor is indeed dead. Wu Er was sad and lost.

"I won't sign a soul contract with you, bachelor sleep, go where you want to go." Erlang muttered softly. He could feel that the sleeper slowly walked away and disappeared into the thick night.

"Dongjia, did you hear the voice of the soul of the sleeping bachelor? Unfortunately, if he signs a contract with him, he will be a strong and terrible living corpse. Everyone who is called a bachelor has his own field and direction of expertise. Even if he becomes a living corpse, this knowledge will still be retained. Zhang Shu's voice was a little regretful.

"Although he is my enemy, he is a respectable person. Keep a minimum of dignity for him, and don't be manipulated like a plaything after death. But how did Bachelor Mian die because of the water just now? Er, I mean, what kind of secret word is drinking water before death between you bachelors? Wu Song was afraid that Zhang Shu would understand the wrong meaning, so he added another sentence later. As a big man, the sleeping bachelor won a decent death for himself in secret words, which is also very in line with the definition of hero in Erlang's impression.

"No." Zhang Shu shook his head and said, "When we first came in, the sleeping bachelor had already lost its own meridians. In fact, the owner should also feel that the words of the sleeping bachelor were getting weaker and weaker only before drinking water. As for drinking water..." Zhang Shu's eyes looked confused and empty in the shadow of the lamp. The handbook of the Iron Bachelor contains: In the desert, although the bachelors in the Xuecheng have knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to find water, the water is still extremely scarce. In the words just now, it was revealed that he grew up in Xuecheng, perhaps because he was used to the pain of not being able to drink water, so that after leaving the desert for more than 20 years, he wanted to drink again before his death, and then his soul returned to the desert. That's about it."

Before leaving the inner prison, Erlang said to the jailer, "The fake county magistrate in the heavenly cell, we sat there and didn't move when we left. I don't know what's going on." Erlang only said this, and he knew that the jailer would help him take care of the rest.

"That's a death row prisoner, and he will die sooner or later. It's good not to talk. It's no different during the Spring Festival. Besides, it's cold in the cell in winter. The jailer rubbed his hands.

Wu Song took out five taels of silver from his arms and threw them to the jailer: "Buy more charcoal for the brothers to keep warm, and don't freeze everyone. During the Spring Festival, I will ask the county magistrate for more money.

The jailer happily took the silver, subconsciously bit it with his teeth, then smiled cunningly and put the silver in his arms: "Thank you. The annoying in the Tianzi cell, afraid of sin and committed suicide. You haven't come to the inner prison tonight. The silver fell from the sky to the little man's head, and then I quickly grabbed it and smashed a big bag on the little man's head. Don't believe you can touch it? The jailer pointed to his head and really poked his head slightly. But then, the action of the probe turned into bending down to salute: "It's the second half of the night. The road is dark, and they all walk slowly."

"I know." Erlang's heart was mixed and left the inner prison.

When Wu Song returned to the county government office, he found that several officials who had gone to participate in the marriage of Qi Siyin had returned, but their faces were all blue, showing a highly poisonous appearance. According to the official guarding the government office, these people tried their best to walk into the government office, and then fell down. No matter how they shook, they couldn't speak. They had sent someone to invite Langzhong.

Wu Song tried his best to support his tired body and came to the room where the official returned to lie down. At the door, Wu Song took the white cloth handed over by others, wrapped it around his mouth and nose, and then pulled the door to enter. There were four people in the room. These four people looked no different from the dead. Their faces seemed to be covered with thick moss, fish-shaped green gas floated under the skin, and their fingers and toes gently twitched. Erlang can't imagine how these people supported it back.

There are not many medical centers in Yanggu County, and it is not easy for officials to think about these men in a late-night environment. It took about a quarter of an hour for a man to come to the county government.

The Langzhong just glanced at the four people, shook his head and pulled Wu Song aside: "All the heads, it's not that the villains don't try their best, but the toxicity of these four officials is too strong, and I really can't do nothing." After saying that, he turned around with the medicine box and ran away. The figure running in the night is like a rabbit running for its life.

Since someone can come back, it means that the team that went to the insidious marriage is not completely destroyed, and Phoenix will definitely survive. But why hasn't he come back yet? Erlang knew that Phoenix went out in his own shape. He was afraid that he would not know when he would come out and let the officials of the county government see two Wu Songsong at the same time, which would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, so he chose to sit on the stone steps at the gate of the county government office and send away the officials who opened the door. This is the only way he can think of to meet Phoenix in advance.

Looking at Zhang Shu who was still beside him, Wu Song waved his hand: "Zhang Shu, you go back to the Osmanthus Building first. It's too late today."

Zhang Shu had no other words, as if he had turned back to the most ordinary man in the osmanthus building in an instant. He bowed slightly and turned his head and walked towards the distance. Wu Song felt a little cold in the wind and couldn't help standing up and stamped his feet to keep warm. Soon, a familiar voice appeared in his mind, which was the four poisoned officials in the room. Since their voices could be heard, it meant that they were dead. Wu Song did not disturb these souls, but let them slowly disappear.

At this time, he saw the phoenix walking from the road. Phoenix is still his own appearance, his face is full of dust, and he looks very tired.

As soon as Phoenix saw Wu Song, he grinned and said, "It seems that I'm in a hurry, but I came back late. But seeing that you are still sitting here, everything should be safe.

"You'd better not use this appearance, let others see it, and some things will be completely exposed." Wu Song immediately reminded that this is what he is most concerned about.

"Oh, yes, you forgot me if you didn't tell me." Phoenix took a deep breath tiredly and kneaded his face randomly. When he put down his hand, his face had become like a county magistrate. However, there are still some differences in figure.

Phoenix sat next to Wu Song and repeatedly stroked and pulled his limbs and body, and his body quickly shrank and aged as he could see. After a cup of tea, Phoenix has completely changed back to the appearance of a county magistrate. It's just that the clothes he wear is still Wu Song's official uniform, but this difference doesn't matter.

"Four officials have come back before you. They are poisoned and are dead now... Oh, no, I guess I'm going to die. What the hell happened?" Wu Song's right hand showed the meteorite ring without hesitation, but he found that Phoenix did not care about such a treasure, which proved that Phoenix did not know the existence of this thing at all. In this case, Erlang kept his mind, and he decided to hide things related to the ring. Anyway, Phoenix has never liked to inquire about things. Even if the legend of a dart master comes to his ears, he will think that it is because of the distorted twist. It's hard to say whether Phoenix can be fully trusted.

"The female corpse you bought was poisonous. The three musicians accompanying them were spies. They detonated the body, and many people were poisoned. If I run fast, there will be nothing to do. In order to avoid the poisonous fog caused by the corpse explosion, I took a long detour. After all, this faceless body died once and was physically unsustainable, so he came back. I can smell the blood magic of old An on your body. I guess you have killed Qi Si. He did change the body and devoured the blood magic of old An in the process of the body change. But there is one thing that makes me very strange." Phoenix said this, then touched the beard on his chin and suddenly laughed: "Sure enough, it can't be faster to touch a beard in your spare time. It's been pretending to be you for a long time, and there's nothing on your chin. It's really boring."

"What makes you strange?" Wu Song is no longer surprised by the jumping emotions of Phoenix.

"I think Qi Si's corpse transformation was contributed by others. This man has been planning the whole thing since Qi Si was buried. It is likely that he still went to Qi Si's burial place recently and woke him up. Phoenix narrated and pulled his beard happily.

"You're right, it's true." After Wu Song finished speaking, he couldn't hear Phoenix's reaction. He turned his head and looked at it. Phoenix was immersed in the joy of pulling his beard. For him, the corpse transformation was just a little fun after dinner and would soon be forgotten. On the contrary, it was this beard that made him really remember it.

Wu Song stood up and looked at the moon in the sky. The action of the faceless will certainly not stop. Who can change the four corpses and hold another meteorite ring? If that's the case, things will be troublesome.

"I'm going back. You can also go back to bed." Wu Song left a word and turned to walk towards home. He was too tired and wanted to rest for a while.

"Yes, I almost forgot. I have something to tell you." Phoenix seemed to suddenly think of something and stood up and grabbed Wu Song's clothes.

"Can you finish something at once?" Wu Song was surprised by the expression on Phoenix's face. He had never seen Phoenix so excited. This excited look showed on the old face of the county magistrate, which was so incongruous.

"If I guess correctly, a blood stone will be condensed tonight in the room where Qi Si died. Qi Si went to your place mainly to find this. You can successfully kill him. I think he should not have successfully swallowed it. Phoenix's tone was impatient.

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing. My brother found it and asked him to take it away." Wu Song was surprised why Phoenix suddenly mentioned this matter.

Phoenix patted his thigh: "Come back soon. That thing, only those who have considerable skills can condense in their own death. If they swallow it, they can recover to the level of half alive. It's similar to the sea sand now.

"What do you mean?" Wu Song gradually understood what Phoenix meant. He felt that his breathing was accelerating. Could it be said?

"Yes, if the sea sand swallows that, the disease will be much better. At least it won't sleep every day like now. When she is better, you can take her back to the well where she died in Qinghe County to see if you can feel something similar. If that could be the case, she should be able to fully survive. Haisha has completely become a living person, and I will not owe you and your husband and wife anything. Phoenix's face showed a rare serious look.

Erlang felt that most of his fatigue went away in an instant. Although he could not make the sea sand completely good, at least he could see hope. Maybe in summer, the sea sand can really get better. In that case, the promise made to the sea sand can be fulfilled. I'm not a sworner, Erlang thought excitedly.

(If the Water Margin is written today as the 100th day, and I would like to remember it. Thank you for your support. Chonglou has nothing to repay, and he will definitely continue to write stories well.)
