We ran to Tsering Village and deliberately passed by the old woman's house, and unexpectedly found her at home. Strange, wasn't she away from the village during the day
While I was in a daze, the old lady came out of the house to greet us. With her signature kind smile on her face, she said to me, "Young man, you should go back and stop interfering in the affairs here. This is not your business."
Shen Bing's face turned cold and he said, "Everyone in the world has their own business. You kill people and commit evil..."
Oh my god, here comes this saying that everyone in the world is in charge of their own affairs. If that were true, there would be no bad people in the world. I hurriedly stopped her nonsense and stared at the old woman and asked, "Is the child in the ancient tomb?"
The old woman's face darkened, and she nodded slowly: "You are very smart, the child was indeed sent to the ancient tomb."
I've heard so much praise like this, and now I feel a little sick. But it proved that my guess was correct, and it made me think about a lot of things. So I said to her, "Since you like to help people so much, why don't you stop them?"
The old woman sighed, looking very depressed, "I can't do anything about it. Even the ghost messenger can't do anything about it."
I nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of it."
The old lady met my determined gaze, finally shook her head and said: "Since you insist on taking care of it, I will give you something. In a critical moment, it may save your life." Then she took out a red jade bracelet from her bosom and handed it to me.
The jade bracelet was cold to the touch, and it emitted a blood-red halo from the inside out, which made people feel terrified. When I looked up and asked her what this treasure was, the old woman turned around and walked back to the house, closing the door tightly.
"Didn't your mother teach you when you were a child that you shouldn't ask for things from others without permission? Do you know what she gave you? What if it's something to harm people?" Shen Bing poked her head out to look and complained.
"Am I that stupid?" I smiled, put the jade bracelet away, and then pulled her along and continued walking north.
"Are you smart? You are always fooled by your enemies, and you still have the nerve to brag!"
You little bitch, you only know how to expose my weaknesses.
On the way, she asked me what I meant by the old woman likes to help people, and she was very unhappy to see that I had changed my attitude towards the old woman. I touched my nose, thinking that some things were not mature enough, and it was useless to say more, so I just told her that I was testing the old woman.
After climbing over the hill and standing in the corpse burial forest, I suddenly found that each tree was tied with a white line. I was particularly moved and puzzled as to what this was used for. But thinking that today was the first day of the new year, there must be a purpose for tying such things in the corpse burial forest with a strong yin energy.
"To enter the ancient tomb, don't we have to go in through the tunnel?" Shen Bing asked curiously when he saw me walking west.
"You'll find out in a moment."
Soon we arrived outside the White Flower Valley, took out a talisman to ward off evil spirits and gave it to Shen Bing, took out a compass, and walked in. Shen Bing asked if I was scared anymore? I smiled and didn't answer, holding her warm little hand, and slowly walked to the entrance of the valley. The scene inside was exactly the same as what I saw when I first came in, with yin energy rising and ghosts everywhere. But there were no houses. I turned my head several times, but no houses appeared. I suddenly understood why the old lady was in the village today. She didn't come for some reason.
I turned around and asked Shen Bing: "Are you scared?"
"What are you afraid of? It's just a place for raising corpses," she answered disdainfully.
"That's good. Maybe in a while, we will enter the tomb..."
