C7 You are my backbone
You are my backbone
Actually, I knew that she was worried, worried that I would remember her after seeing her like this. She didn't want to remember her, because she felt that this time, her soul would truly be shattered.
I understand all of this, but I did not say it out loud. Perhaps this is human nature, the more sad things are, the more they are hidden deep within the heart.
He thought that if he hid it, he wouldn't be sad if he didn't think about it. Yet, he was deceiving himself.
That night, I completely lost sleep. Ever since An Rushuang left, I didn't close my eyes again until the morning of the next day when Grandfather came looking for me with a bag on his back.
He said that he would bring me to Bei Jiushui and find the Ghost Doctor Yang Zhentian, because only he can save An Rushuang.
His grandfather had said that he was extremely capable. Not only could he treat living people, he could also treat ghosts. However, his temperament was very strange.
On the way, my grandfather also told me that Cheng's carpenter was fine, it was just that his head was broken by me.
The Ghost Doctor Yang Zhentian lived in the upper reaches of the White Sand River in Laoshan. There was less than fifty kilometers between us, and when my grandfather and I went to find him on our tricycle, he happened to be at home.
After explaining the reason he came here, Yang Zhentian glanced at my arm, then took out the jade pendant from my neck.
"I, Yang Zhentian, have treated people and ghosts all my life and have never treated a Yin Witch before. I can't cure this ghost's curse, but I'll find another way to do it!"
"Sir, I beg of you to save my grandson's wicked wife, who saved the lives of our entire family." My grandfather said while looking at Yang Zhentian.
"I said, I can't save her, all my life I've only treated the ghosts of the underworld. What does it have to do with me to live or die in the mortal world?" Yang Zhentian looked at Grandfather and said, his tone extremely unyielding.
"As long as you can save my grandson's wicked wife, I'll agree to anything you want me to do." Pappy's tone was almost pleading.
Even though my grandfather has given others his life, he is still a person who values his dignity a lot. This is the first time I have ever seen him beg so humbly.
At this moment, my eyes are a little blurry.
Grandfather's plea instead brought back Yang Zhentian's anger:
"How can you not know what's good for you? I already said that I won't heal that ghost or spirit, just that I won't!" "There's no point in talking any further. Please go back!"
"Senior, I beg you to save my wicked wife. Only you have the ability to save her." I still refused to give up as I looked at Yang Zhentian and pleaded.
After Yang Zhentian heard what I said, he looked at me angrily and said:
"Since you all like to force others to do things this way, that's good. You brat, today, kneel down and kowtow three times to Yang Zhentian, then I will take action to save your damned wife!"
After I heard Yang Zhentian's words, I raised my head and looked at him with a serious expression and asked:
"Does Senior's words count?!"
"Yes!" Yang Zhentian's words were resolute and decisive.
I didn't think much and wanted to kneel towards him, but at this moment, the wind that had saved me many times before appeared again, stopping my body from kneeling down.
"Thirteen, don't kneel to others. Let's go." It was An Rushuang's voice.
"Only he can save you." I advised An Rushuang.
"I would rather die than for you to give up your most important dignity and backbone to kneel down to others in order to save me. Thirteen, I want you to remember that if a man doesn't even have a backbone left, then he won't have much left. " An Rushuang's clear voice was filled with determination.
When I heard her words, I took a deep breath and said,
"So what if I can use my backbone to exchange for your life? If I let your soul go for my so-called "backbone" today, I would be like a cartilage person whose spine has been pulled out. I don't have a hard bone, only an ungrateful soft fat. If you die, then my backbone will die. If you survive, then my backbone will be there! "Today, let alone three kowtows, even thirty will kowtow!"
"Fine, then kowtow thirty times for me today!" Yang Zhentian's voice sounded!
Hearing Yang Zhentian's words, I wanted to slap myself twice. When they said three, he had to say thirty. This time, he wasn't going to take it for himself.
Although I regretted what I said, I didn't hesitate either. I was afraid that the eccentric Yang Zhentian would change his mind and kneel in front of him and kowtow thirty times!
I have always believed that regardless of whether one is a human or a ghost, one's spirit and one's life will always be fused together. Life is here, and backbone is here!
With An Rushuang here, I, Zuo Shisan's backbone is here!
The moment I knelt down, I heard An Rushuang's crying voice.
"Zuo Shisan, thank you. Marrying you is my fortune!"
Although Ghost Doctor Yang Zhentian had a weird temper, his words were still true. After I knelt down to him, he didn't say anything unnecessary and brought me into the room.
In front of a water tank, let me soak in, he kept putting medicine into the water tank.
As he was putting medicine into the water tank, he said:
"Even though I'm saving your damned wife, the cause of death starts from you. If you want to save her, you first have to start from you …"
These days, I spent most of my time with the jade pendant on my neck to soak in the water, while Yang Zhentian would occasionally hold onto my jade pendant and mutter a few words, and his entire body would be covered in sweat.
I don't know what kind of great price Yang Zhentian paid to save An Rushuang.
But it was definitely not small, because one afternoon when I was going to the toilet, I accidentally saw him spitting out blood in the corner of the room. His eyes were also bloodshot, and he looked extremely terrifying …
Maybe, there's something else he wants me to kneel to, and I feel that Yang Zhentian is a good person.
Three days later, I bid farewell to my grandfather and left Yang Zhentian's house.
Although Yang Zhentian healed the Ghost Curse on An Rushuang's body, it did not completely remove the side effects.
The side effect is that An Rushuang cannot come out from the jade pendant on my neck, unless I can find a type of medicine called "cadaveric bacteria" that grows in the coffin of corpses.
According to Yang Zhentian, the Yin Qi in An Rushuang's body was harmed by the Qi, if she did not have a thousand years of cultivation, she would have lost her soul long ago, but even so, he could only temporarily save her soul and seal her inside my jade pendant.
If he wanted to save An Rushuang, he had to find the cadaveric bacteria. There were only three years left, and if he couldn't find the cadaveric bacteria within those three years, An Rushuang would definitely lose his soul.
He heard his grandfather say that cadaveric bacteria could only be formed in coffins with corpses, because forming cadaveric bacteria required absorbing a large amount of Yin Qi and humidity, and the Yin Qi generated by corpse transformation provided the necessary conditions for the formation of cadaveric bacteria, so every piece of cadaveric bacteria contained a large amount of Yin Qi emitted by corpses.
The reason was obvious. Using the cadaveric bacteria Yin Qi to replenish the Yin Qi An Rushuang had injured, which was to find the cadaveric bacteria and let her absorb it all.
After hearing my grandfather's explanation, I finally understood. However, in my heart, I felt a wave of depression. Where would there be a coffin that transformed into a corpse?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask my grandfather:
"Grandfather, what happened to the Corpse Transformation?"
The Corpse Transformation is the transition period between life and death for people. Some people's grievances gather in their throat after they die, and they just happen to be buried in the Yin Field. The corpse will die but not rot, and it will be able to absorb the Lunar Yin Qi and produce the Corpse Transformation. Grandfather said to me.
"Grandfather, I want to look for the cadaveric bacteria." After listening to grandfather's words, I spoke with absolute certainty.
In order to save me, An Rushuang's life was restricted in the jade pendant, so it was impossible for me to be a turtle who was cowering in its shell. I had to think of all sorts of ways to find the cadaveric bacteria s and save her.
After my grandfather heard my words, he became silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing my grandfather like this, I could guess that he definitely didn't want me to take the risk.
"Grandfather, why aren't you saying anything?" I asked.
Only then did Grandpa heavily sigh. He looked at me and said,
"It's not that grandpa doesn't want you to go, it's that the zombie isn't something we can find. The place where the Corpse Transformation came from must be a place where Yin and Yang gather. This kind of place isn't like Feng Shui or the rest of the Dao, we can't find it at all, we don't know where to start." Furthermore, now that people have been cremated, even if I say it out loud, you will definitely not be able to handle the zombies after they transform. When the time comes, not only will you not be able to obtain the cadaveric bacteria and not save An Rushuang, but you will also have to pay with your own life.
Actually, I would also be scared in my heart. People who aren't afraid of death can only be dead, but no matter how difficult or dangerous the road to find cadaveric bacteria is, I still have to go, and I definitely cannot give up.
An Rushuang, in order to save me, has already lost her soul. If I were to submit now, I would really be no better than an animal.
I also believe that no matter what happens, as long as I am willing to work hard, I will eventually find a way to solve this problem.
"Grandfather, do you know how to find the place that has gathered Yin and Fiends? And what kind of place is the Yin Fusion Evil Domain? " I asked, looking at my grandfather.
Grandfather shook his head:
"If grandpa didn't intentionally hide it, then how can we find this place? Don't look at how your grandpa has been a fortune-telling teacher his whole life. I really don't know anything about this place, and I have never met a zombie before." After saying that, my grandfather paused before continuing to speak to me.
"That place of darkness and death is also commonly known as the 'cadaveric site'."
"cadaveric site? Is it possible that the corpses buried there will undergo Corpse Transformation? " I asked, looking at my grandfather.
"Yes, this cadaveric site is the most terrifying, most dangerous and most taboo graveyard in all of Feng Shui. After a body was wrongly buried in the cadaveric site, not only would the human body's muscles and internal organs not rot, but also hair, teeth, nails, and other organs would continue to grow. Due to the sun, moon, and the light from the sun, the corpses absorbed the essence of the world, and some parts of their bodies recovered their vitality. At this point, his grandfather's face was somewhat pale.
"Then Grandpa, do you know who can find this cadaveric site?" I asked.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen my grandfather sigh so much.
Seeing that my grandpa didn't say anything, I continued to seriously say:
"Grandfather, tell me. If I don't save An Rushuang, I will never be at peace for the rest of my life."
