What the little girl said gave me a very important message.
That sheepskin scroll is from the Lingnan ancient tomb. My blood can melt the sheepskin scroll. According to the little girl's words, I have a little relationship with someone in Lingnan!
Could it be that my parents are in Lingnan
At this point, my heart became excited, and there was an urge to fly to Lingnan to find the whereabouts of my parents.
However, in the end it was wise to win.
I'm not sure if what the little girl said is true. Even if it is true, Lingnan is so big, where can I find the whereabouts of my parents
The old beggar didn't know when he could come back to the convenience store. After asking to understand the true whereabouts of my parents, it won't be too late to go!
The most important thing is that Uncle Zong told me not to run around during this time. Because of the sheepskin rolls, there may be a lot of people staring at me recently. If you leave the shelter at the convenience store, the ghost knows that it will be annoying. What kind of trouble comes out.
In the next few days, weird things happened one after another at the convenience store.
When I passed in the morning, I could always see the corpses of mice and foxes in the convenience store. Uncle Zong didn’t explain anything. After I took over, I picked up the corpses of the beasts.
After this situation lasted for about a week, the convenience store returned to normal, but more customers came to buy things during the day. Basically, after wandering around the store, every customer chooses something to check out in silence. When they leave, they will take a deep look at me, which makes me feel very weird.
An Qi has been away for a week, and has not returned yet. I asked Uncle Zong, who shook his head and sighed without responding, which made me feel very depressed.
On the ninth day of An Qi's departure, that evening, an old Taoist man came to the store with a whisk in his hand, which was quite immortal.
After walking around the store, the old Taoist didn't buy anything. He came to the cash register and directly took out a small rusty iron plate and placed it in front of me.
I was stunned for a moment, looked at the old Taoist in surprise, and asked: "Dao Master, you are..."
"When Zong Yi arrives, just show it to him!"
After saying this, the old Taoist walked directly out of the convenience store.
I looked at the rusty little iron plate in my hand with some curiosity, except for a few staggered lines on it, nothing special.
I didn't take this matter to heart either. At eight o'clock in the evening, Uncle Zong showed up at the convenience store on time.
I gave the small rusty iron plate left by the old Taoist priest to Uncle Zong, who frowned when he saw the small rusty iron plate.
"Did the old guy say anything else?" Uncle Zong asked.
I shook my head and said, "He left this after leaving this here, and said nothing!"
Uncle Zong rubbed the small iron medal, his face was uncertain, and said to me: "You stay in the store tonight, don't go back, no matter what happens, don't leave this store, remember!"
I was shocked by Uncle Zong’s words. This was the first time I saw Uncle Zong showing such a solemn expression. Before I could ask, Uncle Zong said in a deep voice: "If I haven't returned by daybreak, you will Leave the town first and go to Sioux City for a while..."
Having said that, Uncle Zong handed me a bank card and told me the code on the card, and then hurried out.
I was a little confused, inexplicably uneasy, I don't know what happened!
Uncle Zong's abnormal state must be related to the rusty little iron plate left by the old Taoist priest. What is going on
As time passed a little bit, my heart was nervous and uneasy. I could hear the meaning of the words when Uncle Zong left. Tonight is destined to be not quiet.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the string of wind chimes on the door of the convenience store swayed slightly, and a woman walked into the convenience store on tiptoes.
It's the big belly woman I met when I first came to the convenience store!
She still looked bloody behind her back and her face was pale, but seeing her again at this time made me not afraid.
After some things happened during this period of time, my nerves have been sharpened a lot, and I have confidence in the runes in the sheepskin scroll engraved in my mind. If this woman with a big belly really dares to treat me again If I shoot, I can also have a little ability to protect myself.
She still took an iron sand ball from the top of the container, and when she came to the cashier to check out, she was behaved.
When she was about to leave the convenience store, she whispered to me: "A lot of strangers came outside, all staring here, you'd better contact Mr. Zong as soon as possible!"
The figure of the pregnant woman disappeared into the night outside, and when I looked outside, I only saw the empty road, not even a ghost shadow.
However, that woman with a big belly shouldn't lie to me, but I can't get in touch with Uncle Zong at all!
Not long after the belly-bellied woman left, a strange noise came from outside the convenience store, and I saw a large group of mice crazily flooding into the convenience store.
The group of mice was too crazy, as if they had received a professional command, they rushed toward the last row of shelves in the convenience store.
I didn't care about anything at this time. I picked up the pan on the shelf and screamed at the crazy mice.
Blood is splashing, there are too many rats, and several of them can be killed in one pot!
However, what made me feel a little creepy was that the mice ignored me at all, as if ignoring my existence, and ignored the dead companions, madly biting the last row of shelves.
In just a few minutes, I have killed more than a hundred mice, but the rest of the mice flew after another, with red eyes completely unafraid of life and death.
The shelf collapsed suddenly with the bite of many mice, exposing the wall behind.
On the yellowed wall, there was a huge pattern as tall as a person. When I saw that pattern, I was in a daze.
This pattern is so familiar!
A certain pattern on the sheepskin scroll appeared in my mind, exactly the same as the pattern on this wall!
How can the pattern on the sheepskin roll appear on the yellowed wall of the convenience store
This group of mice seems to have known that there is such a pattern on the back of the container for a long time. Is this pattern their goal
Just when I was stunned, the mice jumped up frantically and slammed into the pattern on the wall.
"Boom, boom..."
Under my dull gaze, the mice smashed to death on the wall one by one, with great force, and a little blood stained the pattern, adding a strange color to it.
At the same time, the bell rang at the entrance of the convenience store.
I hurriedly turned my head and looked. There were a lot of people shaking in front of the store, all dressed in black robes, covering their heads and faces.
The leader is a white-haired old man, dressed in a black Tang suit, with one foot raised, ready to step into the convenience store.
This old man, with age spots on his face and many wrinkles on his forehead, looks a bit old.
However, these are not the main points. The main point is that I found his arms are covered with black scales, exactly the same as the snake scale man I met back then!
At the entrance of the convenience store, as if there was an invisible force blocking him, the string of wind chimes shook rapidly.
Accompanied by a cold snort, the white-haired old man's raised foot suddenly fell and stepped into the convenience store.
"Boom, boom..."
The string of wind chimes on the door of the convenience store burst directly!
Immediately afterwards, the group of people in black robes behind the white-haired old man rushed into the shop first. I gripped the pan with one hand and hurriedly bit through my fingertips, preparing to draw a symbol.
But, at this moment, one of the black-robed men suddenly rushed in front of me with a sprint, and hit my abdomen with a fist.
There was intense pain, and I felt my internal organs trembled, and I was so painful that I couldn't breathe smoothly. I naturally couldn't draw a charm when I bent over.
Then, my neck was pinched by the black-robed man, and my whole body seemed to be drained, and the pan in my hand fell to the ground.
The other people in black robes rushed to the wall, took out their daggers and slit their wrists. Their blood turned out to be pale green, sprinkling the blood on the pattern on the wall.
The blood of many rats and the blood of these people in black robes are mixed together. That wall looks very disgusting. I am also a little confused now. These people are not here for me
Looking at this posture, they seem to be here specifically to target the patterns on the wall of the convenience store!
The white-haired old man walked to my side at this time, looked at the pattern on the wall that had been stained with disgusting blood, and waved his hand at the black-robed people.
The people in black robes respectfully saluted and quit the convenience store together, and the breathing effort disappeared into the night.
The man in the black robe pinching my neck glanced at the white-haired old man, and said in a sharp and hoarse voice: "Old Ge, he may be the kid adopted by Zhou Zhenyao, do we want to..."
"Do you want to arouse the anger of that woman?"
The white-haired old man said quietly: "This is not our place. You must behave in accordance with the rules. You can ruin this place. There is no need to take him back to Lingnan! Besides, this kid is a big trouble in itself. Did they lead to our stockade? Let him go!"
"But..."
"I said, let him go!"
A maroon light flashed in the gray-haired old man’s eyes, and his pupils became narrow and long at this moment, like the eyes of a pair of poisonous snakes.
"Yes!"
The black-robed man trembled, hurriedly let go, arched his body and hurriedly left the convenience store, disappearing into the night outside.
"Ahem..."
I was clutching my neck, gasping and coughing, staggering back a few steps, watching the white-haired old man vigilantly, feeling nervous.
"Don't worry, we are different from the others in Lingnan, not against you!"
The white-haired old man gave me a faint look and said, "When Zong Yi comes back, tell him that this place was destroyed by our Yin-Yang Sect. He has taken the holy artifacts from our stockade for decades, and it is time to return. We are here. Lingnan is waiting for him! If you don't see him within ten days, none of his former relatives and friends will end well!" (End of this chapter)
