C173 Guan Di

Xia Xin's words stunned me. It was only now that I realized that I actually knew nothing about Mr. Zhao. Thinking back on the meeting between Mr. Zhao and I, although it looked like a fortuitous encounter, there were definitely some abnormal events inside.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Xia Xin smiled and replied, "I know the answer."

At this moment, someone behind us suddenly said in a low voice, "The answer is not as simple as you think."

Xia Xin and I were shocked. When we turned around, we found a middle aged man standing behind us. This man was Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao had a rare serious face. He didn't look at our faces, but rather reached out to take the letter from Xia Xin's hand and carefully hid it on his body.

Mr. Zhao looked at me and said, "You are a living person, so you shouldn't just leave your body. Let's go.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with the Mr. Zhao, my soul must return to my body. Thus, I followed Mr. Zhao towards the small inn. I turned around to look and saw that Xia Xin had also followed me.

I returned to my room, to my body. When I opened my eyes again, I found that the Mr. Zhao had rearranged this room.

The light went out, replaced by a white candle. The table was filled with food and wine.

I asked the Mr. Zhao: "Where's the force?"

The Mr. Zhao said, "He went next door to look at the corpse. He didn't know what was going on, but he was afraid that the corpse would be lost. Interesting, who would steal it? "

He pointed to the chair and said to Xia Xin and me, "Please take a seat."

I sat down doubtfully while Xia Xin also sat down fearlessly.

The Mr. Zhao sat in front of us and poured each of us a cup of wine and said: "We have experienced life and death and shared the hardships of life. To tell the truth, we all have our own secrets, but we didn't harm each other, right? Let's call each other friends. Isn't that too much? "

Xia Xin said, "You didn't say that before. You used to tell me I had a secret. What? I found out you had a secret. You think of me as a friend? "

Mr. Zhao waved his hand: "After drinking this wine, I'll tell you my secret."

When I heard this, I was immediately excited. But I won't casually drink Mr. Zhao's wine, who knows if there's something wrong with the wine?

I put the wine in my mouth, pretended to tie my shoelaces, and bent down to quietly spit it under the table. Who knew that while I was drinking, Xia Xin and Mr. Zhao would also be drinking.

The three of us drank our wine with dignity on the table, and when we looked down we saw each other drinking, and the awkwardness was indescribable.

So we all looked up. Xia Xin said, "That's enough, Hu Chujiu and I will drink together. What are you vomiting for? Didn't you prepare this wine? Would you poison yourself? "

The Mr. Zhao said, "I don't know how to drink. "What alcohol? What's the sensitivity?"

I said, "Alcohol is allergic."

Mr. Zhao nodded his head: "Yes yes yes, I am allergic to alcohol."

Xia Xin rolled her eyes, "Forget it. Just now you wanted to tell us your secret. Now you're lying again. Hu Chujiu, come with me. I have no reservations about you. This Zhao guy is sneaking around, he might sell you out one day. "

I immediately stood up. Of course, I am not abandoning the Mr. Zhao. After experiencing so many things together, saying that I have no feelings is definitely fake. I am only doing this to scare the Mr. Zhao.

Sure enough, the Mr. Zhao started to panic. He pulled us both and said, "Alright, alright, there's no harm in telling you guys."

Xia Xin and I stared and waited. Mr. Zhao coughed and said softly, "I can't drink."

When Xia Xin and I heard this, we stood up to leave. The Mr. Zhao pulled us both back, "What happened to you two? Didn't I already say it? "

I said to the Mr. Zhao: "Can you say that you have some truth?"

Mr. Zhao helplessly said, "You heard it clearly. I'm talking about not drinking, not not not drinking. "

Puzzled, I asked, "What's the difference?"

The Mr. Zhao said faintly, "This is too big of a difference. To tell you the truth, not only can I not drink, I can't eat hot food, I can't eat meat. "

When I heard this, my brain exploded. I looked at Mr. Zhao and said in shock, "You are a live corpse."

Mr. Zhao said: "Don't talk to me in such a disdainful tone. How can you let Xia Chen's mood endure? "

Xia Xin said, "Those with the surname Zhao, don't try to sow discord. It was fine to despise living corpses. Firstly, I am no longer a live corpse, and secondly, I also despise living corpses. "

I said, feeling wronged, "Can you two not be so lively? When did I despise living corpses? "

Mr. Zhao coughed lightly and said softly, "I think I should clarify a misunderstanding. I just can't drink, I can't eat meat, I can't eat hot food. But I am not a living corpse. "

I said, "Isn't this a living corpse? What's the difference between you and them? "

The Mr. Zhao said, "The difference is that the organs in my body are completely undamaged. I am a complete human."

Puzzled, I asked, "Then why can't you eat and drink these things?"

Mr. Zhao frowned and said: "You're asking me? I'd like to know. After all these years, I still haven't found the reason. "

Xia Xin said faintly, "Are you lying to us again?"

Mr. Zhao panicked a little. He stood up and asked, "Is there a Guandi Temple here?"

The so called Guandi Temple was the temple of Second Master Guan. There was naturally one in the town, but what was the Mr. Zhao trying to find Guandi Temple for?

Mr. Zhao asked me: "Where is Guandi Temple? Point it out to me. "

I pointed out the location of the Guandi Temple. Mr. Zhao knelt towards that direction. He kowtowed. Then he bit his finger and drew a long blade on the ground.

When he was done, he took the candle off the table and laid it on the floor. It was placed right next to the broadsword.

Puzzled, I asked Mr. Zhao, "What are you doing?"

Mr. Zhao sat on the chair and said with a weird tone: "Look at my shadow."

I looked over my shoulder and was startled. I saw that beside the shadow of the Mr. Zhao, there was another shadow. This figure was tall and sturdy, and he held a long blade in his hand.

I said in disbelief, "Could this be Guan Gong?"

Mr. Zhao calmly said, "Of course not. The offering in Guandi Temple was Guan Gong, but he was a figure from a few thousand years ago, he could not enjoy this kind of incense. Therefore, there would be Mountain Spirits and ghosts, possessing the gods and pretending to be the Guan Di, enjoying the worship of mortals. Since they enjoyed the incense, they naturally had to take on obligations as well. For example, if the heart of a mortal was pure loyalty. "For example, to verify if what I said today was from the bottom of my heart."

Mr. Zhao patted his chest and said, "If I had said half a lie today, Guan Di would have been able to hear it. If you look at my shadow, Second Master Guan will cut it into two. If that happens, I won't be able to live on. "

I turned to Xia Xin. "Is that true?" Is there really such a thing? "

Xia Xin nodded and said, "It should be true. I seem to have heard someone mention it before."

Mr. Zhao looked at me with an injured expression. "Eldest Nephew, I have more or less saved you a few times already.

I said, "You paid a fee for saving me."

Mr. Zhao spat out: "That amount of money is not even enough to fill my teeth. Even though I saved you with my life, wasn't it because I treated you as my nephew?"

As soon as he said this, I saw Guan's shadow raise his broadsword, ready to strike. Mr. Zhao hurriedly changed his words, "There's another reason why I saved you. I wanted to obtain this thing from your body."

The large blade stopped. Guan Gong once again held his sword upright.

Xia Xin praised, "This thing is good. I've learned this trick of yours. "

I asked the Mr. Zhao, "What do you want from me?"

The Mr. Zhao said, "I'm afraid we have to start from the beginning. You know what? "My memories began when I was twenty." He paused, then said, "No, I don't know how old I was, but when I looked in the mirror, I looked about twenty years old."

"At that time, I was lying on psychiatric hospital's bed, and I don't remember anything from the past. Every day, a nurse comes to give me medicine and tells me that I can recover after taking it. So I was very cooperative, basically, I didn't reject anyone. "

"I found out later that when I wasn't taking the medicine my mind was clearer. It's a little slow when you take the medicine. I just want to sleep in my bed all day, and I won't be angry if someone slaps me in the face. "Later on, a friend told me that this medicine was not used to treat illnesses at all, but to suppress our emotions."

"Then I stopped taking drugs. I hid the medicine. After a month of this, my memory recovered a bit. Of course, I still don't remember where I came from. What I do remember is my ability to pick locks and flip walls. I directly escaped from psychiatric hospital. "

Mr. Zhao looked at me and laughed bitterly: "Guess where my psychiatric hospital is?"

"Which one?" I asked.

Mr. Zhao said: "psychiatric hospital Fan Zhuang. We went to the Cypress City. "

I said in astonishment, "When we went there, I didn't see any reaction from you."

Mr. Zhao said, "After all, many years have passed. The house has been rebuilt, the doctor and the dean have been replaced, and I can no longer recognize them. "

He said, "After I escaped from the psychiatric hospital, it took me many years to adapt to this society. Gradually, I also discovered the problem with my body. Not only do I have no memory, I can't eat hot food, I can't touch meat. Many years have passed and I have not aged. "

I thought: Isn't this a living corpse?

The Mr. Zhao said, "In order to show that I'm not that special, I bought a few pills from an evil spirit. After eating them, I can age like a normal person. However, after becoming like this middle-aged man, aging has stopped, and taking medicine will no longer be of any use. "

I said in wonder, "How many people can't stay young forever, and you still want to grow old? Aren't you full? "

Mr. Zhao pointed to Xia Xin, "She should be able to understand my thoughts."

Xia Xin finally agreed with Mr. Zhao's point of view. She said faintly, "Being able to live forever is certainly a good thing. However, if he gave up the right to be a living person and didn't die, it would be a very painful thing to do. In order to be able to live, I would rather accept death one day. "
