When I entered Mao Xiaoli's house, she seemed to have drunk quite a bit of wine and looked at me with a red face.
"Sister Mao, what's going on?"
"I think everyone knows that you are looking for fox fur. No one looks for it like you do."
I did make some noise and was anxious.
"The Fox Fantasy will be there within the next twenty years. I have a way to let you know where the fox skin is. You just have to go inside the Fox Fantasy. But I'm worried that you won't be able to get out."
"What's the meaning?"
"In Fox Fantasy, you will meet three women, all of whom are so beautiful that they will take your breath away. One of them will tell you where the fox skin is. In fact, these three women are three foxes."
I was shocked. This was not a very fun thing. I was probably not very good at controlling myself when it came to beautiful women.
"I am afraid… "
"The only way is to find someone else. Of course, women won't be told. Just look for someone else."
"I have no one to turn to."
"Then there's nothing I can do."
Mao Xiaoli seemed very dissatisfied because I missed the opportunity last time and made her very angry.
I really can't think of who I can ask to go. It's such a dangerous thing, and I'm afraid no one is suitable to go.
"Then I'll go!"
"If you are deceived, I'm afraid you can't come back. If you want to come back, it may be after Fox Illusion disappears. I don't know how long you can survive there."
I'm sweating. Zhang Xiaoxue, Zheng Jun, all this makes me anxious. Zheng Jun needs to be there early.
"I do."
Mao Xiaoli stood up with a snort. I don't know if she was dissatisfied or what was going on, but this snort made me break out in a cold sweat. Does that mean that no one can pass Fox Fantasy? I don't know.
Those three foxes, three beauties, are so evil. Fox fantasy does exist in real life. If you meet such a thousand-year-old fox and follow it, you will see a beautiful woman's face tempting you. In fact, when you chase it, it is a fox, constantly changing. This happened when I was a child. Of course, I haven't seen it, I just heard about it. It was like the truth, I believe it.
Mao Xiaoli asked me to get ready and then took me to an empty field where there was no one.
"When you stand in the middle, you will feel like you have entered another world. In fact, you are still in the same place. It is just an illusion, the fox illusion. Foxes have this ability.
I stood there, and sure enough, after a while, I felt hot. Then I saw three girls walking towards me. Their beauty was different, in three different ways. I liked the one in the middle, pure, a kind of purity that made my mind free of distractions.
I was in a daze, and that innocent girl came over and stretched out her hand. Mao Xiaoli told me that no matter what, we should not have any physical contact, not even touching hands. I raised my hand, but it seemed that I could not control myself, but I still put it down. I saw the dimness in the girl's eyes, it was a kind of heartache, I raised my hand again, and I heard Mao Xiaoli's reminder not to do that.
I put it down again, and the three girls turned around. I screamed, and their backs were covered with fox skins, bright red, as red as fire.
"On the roof ridge of Yinyan and Zhang Xiaoxue's old house."
I suddenly came to my senses and Mao Xiaoli came over and said.
"You are still a man and have not been bewitched. But if I don't warn you, I'm afraid you will be dead. None of you men are good."
I thought to myself, you women are not necessarily good people. Tomorrow I get three young handsome men, and you are still fooling around. Who are you blaming
I dare not say this, I can only think about it.
I immediately went to Zhang Xiaoxue's old house. The house keeper was there. I found a bag on the roof. When I opened it, it was indeed the fox fur. It was so beautiful. After so many years, it was still so beautiful.
I also found the fox skin in Yinyan's old house in Chi County. It turned out that Yinyan's old house was occupied by her relatives. I persuaded them and found the fox skin.
When I took the fox skin to the columbarium, Yan Fei was gone, Old Liu said while looking at the fox skin.
"It's so beautiful that I can't bear to relax. Yan Fei is really willing to spend a lot of money to pursue girls."
It was true. Yan Fei pursued Yin Yan and Zhang Xiaoxue, but failed in the end, and no one knew why.
"what to do?"
"Don't worry about this. In two days, everything will be resolved. The stone corpse will be restored and Zhang Xiaoxue will come out."
"Then, what about Zheng Jun?"
"This is Zhang Xiaoxue's business. Zhang Xiaoxue has given Zheng Jun a way to kill her. You just need to find her and convince her."
I didn't expect this.
I waited and waited at home, but I couldn't find Yan Fei. I didn't know where he went.
Two days later, Shen Qing called me and said thank you to me, saying that everything was resolved.
Zhang Xiaoxue appeared in the middle of the night. She knocked on the door. When I opened it, I was stunned. Then Zhang Xiaoxue threw herself on me and started crying.
Everything is over, but what should I do about this killing path
I mentioned this matter because I was worried that big problems would arise over time.
Zhang Xiaoxue looked at me blankly for a long time and said.
"I did, because after I left here, I realized that you were the one I loved and the one I missed the most."
"But you can't kill him either?"
"This is the only way, unless I don't marry Zheng Jun."
"We can't be together, and you know it."
Zhang Xiaoxue cried, but there was nothing she could do.
"Well, I'll let her go, but don't regret it."
Zhang Xiaoxue angrily took my hand and went out. The crematorium was dead silent in the middle of the night, the kind of silence that could make people die instantly. If there hadn't been the sound of footsteps, I wouldn't believe there could be such a quiet place in the world.
There were thirteen bone nails on the door of a warehouse in the crematorium. I saw that it was an abandoned warehouse filled with junk from the past.
"It's right here. If you love Zheng Jun, you go in. If you don't love you, don't go in."
I was stunned. Was Zhang Xiaoxue trying to kill me
I hesitated for a moment, opened the door and went in. It turned out that it was not the warehouse. I heard Zhang Xiaoxue crying, and then I saw that it was a warehouse. I saw Zheng Jun, she ran over and hugged me and shivered.
When we came out, Zhang Xiaoxue was gone, and the thirteen bones on the door were also gone.
When we got home, Zheng Jun didn't tell me about the killing, and she didn't let me ask.
Anyway, I don’t want to ask any more questions, just come back.
I called Zhang Xiaoxue, but she didn't answer.
The next day when I went to the crematorium, I told the director what happened. He stood up and stared at me blankly for a long time.
"Is everything really alright? Is Zhang Xiaoxue back?"
I nodded.
"That's good, that's good. If Zhang Xiaoxue can't be found, I won't have to be the manager anymore. Can I go to work tomorrow? The makeup department is a bit busy. This is the season when the most people die."
It’s winter, and the New Year is approaching. It’s the time to harvest people. This happens every year, and many people die.
Zheng Jun and I went to work the next day. Zheng Jun seemed to be in a bad state. I put on makeup and she sat on the side watching.
Just after lunch, the wizard Yan Fei arrived, looking weird.
"Your problem has been solved, and the problem of the three foxes has also been solved. But Old Liu's condition is a bit strange. He wants one of your fingers. I wonder what he wants it for?"
"What?"
I screamed.
"I want to put on makeup, but I have to use one finger to do it. How can I put on makeup?"
"It doesn't affect all your fingers."
"That won't do."
"It has to be okay, and here are my conditions. Zhang Xiaoxue loves you, and I love Zhang Xiaoxue, but I have never been able to get her. Today I..."
I looked at Yan Fei in amazement. Isn't this crazy
"That's between you two."
"Yes, of course it's between us, but if you give this thing to Zhang Xiaoxue and put it in the water, everything will be fine. I have no other choice."
"What?"
"None of your business."
"Then go and release it yourself. I don't want to hurt anyone."
"She has to let go of whoever she loves. I'm a wizard and I can't get love, so this is the only way I can do."
"You're so mean, I can't possibly do that."
"You've got to be brave, if you can hold on, then hold on. I want to see how long you can hold on."
Yan Fei left after he finished speaking. Zheng Jun and I returned to the office, and the director came in.
"How did you get involved with this wizard? He is an evil man. Your father suffered at his hands."
I was stunned. I didn't expect that my father had also suffered from him.
"Okay, let's go eat together, and I'll tell you slowly."
I never expected that things didn't end there. It was so evil that even wizards were involved.
The director knew Yan Fei. This evil wizard had been walking back and forth between crematoriums. He wanted to make money from the families of the deceased by going through the underworld and reporting news.
The manager said that it is best not to mess with Yan Fei because he is extremely evil, but he does have some abilities.
It turned out that the family of a deceased person had a considerable amount of money in their savings, but no one in the family knew where the money was or where it was deposited. The deceased only said this sentence before he died. Yan Fei then passed away and really found out where the money was and found it. This is very evil.
"Then what harm did my father suffer from him?"
"In the third year after your father entered the crematorium, he received a corpse. There were many things to pay attention to when cremating it, and he didn't understand them at first. Then Yan Fei showed up and said this and that, and your father believed him. Unexpectedly, something went wrong when the corpse was burned. Yan Fei did something. When he was refining the corpse for your father, he cut off a piece of bone from the corpse. When refining it, the fire in the furnace flowed back and set the refining room on fire. If he hadn't been in time, it would have been a big deal. Yan Fei ran away."
"What's the Yin bone for?"
"Wizards all have tools. I guess this is for making tools."
"So what happened in the end?"
"Your father paid a sum of money as compensation, and the matter was forgotten. Your father certainly knew what happened, but he didn't pursue it, and he never had any contact with Yan Fei again."
I didn't know there was such a thing, and it was trying to hurt me again? I was a little angry.
I think I really can't deal with this wizard. I don't know how much evil this guy who can go through the dark and the dark has.
I went to the columbarium by myself. I thought that my finger problem needed to be solved. I went in and saw Old Liu there. I put out the wine and food and he sat down to drink.
"I know why you came here. In fact, my offer was not originally for you, but for Yan Fei. He begged me, so there is no reason for me to ask you for your finger. This is what he said. I can only think of the finger of a sinister person, an extremely sinister person."
"What?"
"Pointing to the sky, pointing to the ground, this is what is missing from this urn. If it is placed on the top floor, then everything here will be quiet, and there will be no more ghosts howling at night, disturbing my sleep."
"I can promise you, but Yan insisted that I give Zhang Xiaoxue drugs. What kind of drugs is that?"
"It's a kind of witchcraft potion. After taking it, you will only love him forever. Of course, it's not true love. He pursued Zhang Xiaoxue for so many years just to make her fall in love with him, but it didn't work. In the end, it ended like this."
"I don't want to get off. Help me. I'll give you the finger, right away."
"No, I don't want your finger. I only want it from Yan Fei. Besides, I don't want to provoke this wizard, the evil wizard. He is not a righteous person. I am ugly, but I am a good person."
I dare not say anything about this good man. How can we call him good or not
"But Yan Fei asked me for the finger."
"That's between you two."
"You say you are kind, but you watched this wizard harm Zhang Xiaoxue and took my finger away?"
Old Liu covered his face and didn't speak for a long time. It seemed that the old man was also conflicted and struggling. What kind of ability did the Yan Fei wizard have? It can be seen that Old Liu seemed a little afraid of him.
"Well, I'll only give you one move, but if you give me your finger, I really have no choice."
I nodded, and Old Liu took me up the tower. I didn't see any urns on the first few floors, but I saw some higher up. Some had one, some had two. The higher we went, the more urns there were. There were more than ten on the highest floor.
"These are all ownerless. I am guarding here for them, or rather, they are keeping me company."
All the way up to the twenty-third floor.
"This is the top floor, also called the bone ceiling. Ordinary people cannot come up here. The urns here are not something that ordinary people can place. There are only two urns here."
I saw one that I recognized immediately. It was an urn made by Ji Yihe. His urns all have a logo, which is an inconspicuous black dot at the bottom left corner.
"Take this urn away, it's empty. The wizard has an outer soul, which is the inner and outer soul. The only way is to take this urn to the ancestral tomb of Yan Fei's family and bury it in the west. Tomorrow is the ghost day, but Yan Fei will know. There is only one way he doesn't know. After the ghost day, Yan Fei's outer soul will be in it, and his ability will disappear. This wizard will become a wizard who can only perform magic tricks, a waste. Of course, I have always wanted to do it. This evil wizard has made me suffer a lot."
"Why don't you let him know?"
"There is a person who has a method of blocking the ashes. Of course, this person is in your crematorium. This method of blocking the ashes is very effective. After you release the ashes, at midnight, you bring the urn and place it on the 23rd floor. Of course, you also need to put your finger here, pointing to the sky and the ground. Yan Fei would never dare to come up, so this is killing two birds with one stone."
"Who is that person?"
"You should know this."
I carried the urn down the bone building and went home. Zheng Jun was at home. She was shocked to see me holding the urn. She stared at me blankly. (To be continued)
