Although it was already past dinner, there were still quite a few people in the restaurant. Hearing my shouts, everyone looked at me in surprise. The waiter whom I had taken a fancy to in General Lan's mouth was also startled. He thought that we were about to fight and wanted to pull him over.
General Lan hurriedly pulled me to a chair and waved his hands towards the waiter. He said that there was nothing wrong and apologized to the customers before sitting back down. He said while smiling wryly, "You still don't believe me?"
I glared at him but didn't say anything. General Lan looked me in the eye and said seriously, "Have I lied to you in the past few days that we've known each other? Did I plot against your Yin Yang Eyes? Did I tell you the whole truth? "
My imposing aura immediately receded. What he said was right, not only did he tell me the secret of our family, but he also told me the importance of the Yin Yang Eyes. If he wanted the Yin Yang Eyes of a certain map first, he wouldn't have done that. Thinking of this, the anger in my heart dissipated.
"Then why didn't you tell me the true form of the Yin Qi?" What does this mean? " I said a little stiffly, still unhappy in my heart.
General Lan smiled wryly and said, "Don't ask. I won't harm you anyway. Trust me."
I didn't say anything. The atmosphere was a little awkward, so we didn't want to stay any longer. We hastily paid the bill and left the room. General Lan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Don't blame me. This matter is of great importance. I'll definitely tell you when the time comes."
General Lan seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "This old Daoist Priest's selfishness is too great. I really have no idea what he can do. How about this, you go back and rest first. I'll bring you to find my friend tomorrow morning."
I had long since become puzzled of the alliance between General Lan and the old Daoist. I asked, "Aren't you afraid that the old Daoist will do something behind his back and kill us in the tomb when you form an alliance with him?"
General Lan smiled and said, "You don't understand. The disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders paid particular attention to the cycle of karma, and Monk Dingshan built a temple with the help of the villagers, then helped them solve the military disaster. This is the reason, I formed an alliance with the old Taoist, and he also agreed to it.
After hearing this, I eagerly asked, "Since he had a connection with the villagers, why didn't he stop the disaster that year?"
General Lan smiled disdainfully and said, "You're really naive. How much of the cause and effect do you think the villagers gave us and helped us?" Furthermore, Monk Dingshan helped them solve the problem of the war, which saved their lives. After careful calculation, these villagers still owe Monk Dingshan a debt. Let alone not saving him, as long as he does not directly kill people, he will not receive retribution! "
In truth, there were different sizes to the karma. For example, before you went out to play mahjong with someone, you did a good deed and the fortune was yours. Then, you would definitely win money from mahjong. The great karma is related to one's life. If a person is killed, then the person will definitely lose his or her life. If the person is serious, he or she may die a horrible death. This was also the reason why the old Daoist didn't directly cause my corpse poison to act up and just accelerated this process. He also wanted me to follow him down the grave.
After hearing that, I couldn't help but become silent. The disaster from back then left an indelible scar on my heart. Now that I've heard about the matter, I couldn't help but become anxious. It could be said that I was worried.
General Lan saw that I wasn't in a good mood and patted my shoulder. "It's already been so long. Let's just relax a little." I know you have a knot in your heart. Don't worry, once you solve the mystery in the tomb, everything will be over. "
I nodded my head in silence before General Lan sighed. He knew that I was stubborn and unyielding, so he tried to persuade me but to no avail. He sighed and said, "Alright, let's go back and rest. I'll contact you tomorrow." With that, he turned around and left.
I quietly returned to the hotel I stayed in and found a new room. Sitting on the bed, I watched the setting sun come in through the window. It made the surroundings look warm and golden, but I couldn't feel it. I could only think of my parents' voices and smiles, and also how the two of them had never done anything bad. As the son of a human, I couldn't do anything about it. A feeling of helplessness tightly gripped onto my heart. How I wish I could see them again, if only once!
I couldn't help but be moved. I took out my new phone and called Uncle Lin, who was in Guangzhou.
Hearing my voice, Uncle Lin was very happy and continued to talk about it. "You said that child, why didn't you tell me about it when you got back? It was your Uncle Gao who called me, but I couldn't get through to him. "Now that I think about it, I'm calling your Uncle Lin. If you don't call again, when you come back, your sister will kill you with your aunt's words!"
Uncle Lin talked a lot. I don't know why, but after hearing Uncle Lin's voice, I suddenly had a feeling of being wronged. I couldn't help but feel my heart ache. With a choked voice, he said, "Uncle Lin, I've missed you!"
Uncle Lin heard that something was wrong with my voice and was stunned for a moment before he came to an understanding. He calmly said, "Tianyi, no matter what, this place will always be your home. If you get tired, you can always come back.
Uncle Lin continued, "We won't ask you what you're doing back home. I know you're stubborn, so there's no use in trying to persuade me. We just want to tell you that you're being careful. Your wife and I are still waiting for you to return home. You must …"
Uncle Lin still hadn't said the words "come back alive". I calmed myself down and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm just investigating some matters for them. There won't be any danger. When I'm done, I'll go to Guangzhou to see you!" Uncle Lin said yes, he even said that when the time came, he would make my favorite scallion and pepper fish for me to eat, and even found a good wife for me to meet when I got back.
I couldn't help but smile. After hanging up, my mood improved a lot. I lit a cigarette and took a long drag. I don't know why, but even though my relationship with Uncle Lin hadn't changed, I still felt a sense of distance from him. I was previously just a normal person, so I didn't know anything about this matter. Now that I've met something that I didn't expect before, it can be said that my view of the world has been changed. I'm afraid that I won't be able to return to a normal person's life in the future.
I was in a bad mood, and I didn't want to eat dinner. I lay on my bed, dressed, and watched the sun set. Night slowly took over the world. My heart couldn't calm down no matter what. As I randomly thought about the matter of the tomb, I unknowingly fell into a dream.
For some reason, she met Snowy in her dream. She was dressed in magnificent clothing and her arms were tightly wrapped around me, leaving behind a clear and melodious laughter. My heart couldn't help but be filled with love as I softly said, "Xiao Xue, if we can continue like this forever, how great would it be!"
Xiao Xue gently caressed my face and softly said, "We will, we will never separate. No matter how long we leave, I will always wait for you."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but shout, "I will definitely come back. No matter how many generations of Samsara it is, I will definitely find you!"
Suddenly, there was a tremor and Snowy's face scattered. I was startled and woke up. When he looked up, the sky had already brightened without him realizing. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was General Lan calling. It was only then that I remembered, yesterday, that we agreed to meet up with his friends and investigate the matter regarding the Dingshan Monk.
"When I dialed the number back, I heard General Lan's sloppy voice." "Hey, bro, did you find a girl last night? You're still not up yet, you must be tired."
I bickered with him for a bit and agreed on a location. I washed my face and rinsed my mouth briefly. When I went downstairs, I saw General Lan's lousy Jetta stopping below.
After we got in the car, General Lan passed me the breakfast he bought on the way there and said with a smile, "Was that girl pretty last night? You're too tired to get up. "
As I ate my breakfast, I vaguely said, "She's beautiful! Of course she's beautiful! She's as beautiful as a celestial being."
General Lan started the car and teased, "Is she as pretty as Li Ruoxue?"
I looked at him with disdain. "It was Xiao Xue last night!"
As I said this, my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't help but remember how Xiao Xue left yesterday and actually felt a little reluctant. I wondered how she was doing now. Did she miss me?
Hearing that, he was stunned, asking in disbelief, "Could it be that she really came looking for you last night? I've long seen how the two of you are fighting with each other, but I didn't think that they would really get into a melee! "
After I finished my breakfast, I casually threw the items outside the car and said, "You dog's mouth can't spew out any ivory. Are you serious when you're joking?"
General Lan heaved a sigh of relief. "Like I said, she's such a beautiful lady. How could she fall for you? She would have to look for someone as handsome and interesting as me!" As he spoke, he shook off his buzz cut hair, as though he was asking for a beating.
I ignored him and seriously asked, "Where is your friend?" What is it? Are we just going to go like this? "
General Lan smiled proudly and said, "It would be a long story to say that I am my friend." Although I don't want to implicate him in this, but there's no other way.
I had a look of disdain on my face. It was really bad luck that I was his friend. I couldn't help but say, "We're only going to ask him about the situation. Don't tell me that we're going to bury him together?"
General Lan said, "You don't know him, but this person is just like you, obsessed with him. If he were to know about this tomb, he would have taken the initiative to go, even if we hadn't told him about it. This is why I didn't want to find him back then."
I thought to myself that this person seemed to be a man of character. I curiously asked, "What's the name of this friend of yours?"
General Lan smiled proudly and said, "This friend is no other than the famous tomb robbing expert, also known as Lord Zhang!"
